AS THE Puritan Governors of Indiana
used to say at the end of their Thanks
giving proclamations, "The Lord pre-
serve the commonwealth of Indiana" !"
That State is undergoing the infiction of
four thousand lusty pairs of lungs each
believing Tariff Reform or War Taxes.
The worst of it is that the defenders of
trusts say their army of fabricators have
not all taken the field yet. Some fellow
ought to get in there with million pairs
of cast-steel ear protectors to save the
poor people from being talked to death.
The Democratic orators, if they are
wise, will get out Republican audiences,
and then such as are not converted and
therefore allowed to absent themselves
from further attendance will be dead be-
fore November. II four thousand stump
speakers in two months cannot talk q
people dead, stump speaking is not what
it used to he.

johnson In Court,

1t will be remembered that some time
since boy named Harry johnson was
arrested on charge of throwing stones
at blacksmith named Prairo, and at
that time alleged that Prairo had beaten
him before he threw the stones. A
small boy named Harry Fuller corrobor-
ated Johnson's tale, and the case came
up tor trial before Justice King. The
boys told the same story to the
Court that they told before and
Mrs. Lyman who says she was a witness
to the affair states that the tale of the
boys was untrue. She stated that the
boys had built a fire near the fence and
that Mr.. Ptairo demonstrated. johnson
threw the stones. Justice King took the
matter under advisement.

Putting ON style.
One could hardly find a more perfect
exponent of the prosperity, financial
stability and great business interests of
Los Angeles, than the Farmers & Mer-
chants Bank. The counting-room has
an area of 46xSO feet. 1t is all occupied
by the great army of clerks engaged in
keeping track of the colossal business
and the house. Mr.. Hellman believes in
keeping the institution in the foremost
rank. The latest feature of improve.
ment noted in the banking room is that
rail some three feet high has been
run all around the great counter over
which so much business is transacted.
The frame work of this is of black wal
nut. trimmed in very tasteful manner
with marble. The several compartments
are all filled with heavy plate glass. The
new work makes a model counting room.
The work was all done in Los Angeles.

The Chinese have practically got hold

The Chinese have practically got hold
of the labor market and commerce of the
Hawaiian Islands. Most OF the great
foreign merchants OF Honolulu owned
and ran sugar plantations. They favored
the importation OF Chinese cheap labor.
The islands have now become so Mon
golianized that great Chinese commercial
houses have been built up. These are
now so strong that they are enabled to
boycott the other merchants, and have
just successfully downed the house Of
Hackfeldt & Co., one of the Oldest and
strongest firms in Honolulu. The Chin.
ese have formed immense syndicates to
monopolize all classes OF business. That
is what comes OF Chinese cheap labor.

satisfactory to everybody. He was op-
posed to Germans proposition to COM
nit the bill, and would regard that as
Juggling with the matter.
Dolph took up the question OF the
naturalization of Cinnamon in Indian
apolis and showed that the naturalization
had gone no farther than the mere declar-
alton of intention to become citizens,
which is sufficient under Indiana laws to
entitle men to vote. He Hedeclared that the
Democratic Senators had turned front
and voted at last solidly for the bill. The
situation was precisely as it was last
Monday, when the bill was in the House.
If the bill was wrong in any part it was
violation of the treaty; if it was i'm
mature, the responsibility was with those
who sent it to the House, and he would
leave it to them to deal with.
MOTION TO RECONSIDER PENDING.
At the close of the discussion Teller
moved to lay on the table Blair's motion
to reconsider. A vote was taken, which
resulted, yeas %, nays IL no quorum.
The call OF the Senate showed the pres
ence of fortv-four Senators.
Jones, OF Arkansas, moved to adjourn.
Blair-As the vote just taken is plainly
indicative of the will of the Senate 1 dc
not want to delay action, and therefore
ask leave to withdraw my motion to re-
consider.
Sherman-I object.
The vote was taken on the motion tc
adjourn and it was defeated; yeas 49,
nays %. The vote was taken second
and third time on the motion to lay on
the table the motion for reconsideration
but each time there was lack of quo
rum, several Senators taking advantage
of their being paired to refrain from vot.
ing. Finally the friends of the bill real.
lied the uselessness of further attempts
to end the matter and the Senate ad
journed till Monday, leaving the bill
passed, but the motion to reconsider
pending.

JUDGE THURMAN's sudden illness at
the New York Madison Square Gar
den meeting Thursday night, has
enabled a certain class of Repub-
lican papers to exhibit their innate
brutality. They have not hesitated
to ascribe his illness to false and
indecent causes. AS if even the
most robust constitution might not be
affected by the weather in New York at
this season of the year! But, in spite
of the base insinuations of the Repub-
lican papers, the "Old Roman" has
fully recovered from his temporary ILL
ness, and will become a more lively
factor in the campaign than will suit the
stomachs of those who have gloated over
this untoward episode.

A dispatch from Zanzibar says: Pan
gani natives to-day resisted the landing
of German companies of officers and
the Sultan's troops. Shots were ex-
changed and two Germans were wound
ed. A German man-of-war afterward
bombarded Pangani. The excitement is
spreading. Communication with the
interior is interrupted. The Ger
mans, after effecting landing, drove
the Arabs and natives into the bushes.
Twenty Arabs were killed. The trouble
arose from the procedure of the German
East Africa Company. The Sultan of
Zanzibar has sent an armed force under
General Matthews to restore order at
Tangari. An English gunboat and the
English Vice-Consul are about to 60 to
the scene of the trouble.
