WASHINGTON, August 6.-In the SEN
ate as soon as the reading OF the journal
was concluded, Edmunds rose and said:
I ask unanimous consent to offer at this
time resolutions on the subject which
every Senator will understand:
Resolved, That the Senate has learned
with profound regret Of the death OF
Philip H. Sheridan, late General of the
Armies of the United States.
Resolved, That the Senate hereby ex
presses its grateful sense OF his great
and patriotic services in the cause of his
country; its deep sensibility of the loss
which the Nation has sustained in his
death, and it's sympathy with his family
in their bereavement.
Resoloed, That copy of these resolu-
tions be forwarded to the family Of the
deceased.
Unanimous consent having been given
Edmunds said: 1t is quite unnecessary
for any Senator to submit any observa-
tions in support OF these resolutions. The

conspicuous, SO grand, SO noble and SO
patriotic that any words which l could
use in respect of his memory or in praise
of his career would be like gliding re-
fined gold or painting the lily. l there.
fore leave these resolutions to the judg.
ment OF the Senate without any observa
| tions.
The resolutions were adopted without
dissent.
Subsequently bill was introduced by
Senator Farwell, and referred to the
Committee on Pensions, granting pen
sion of $1,000 year to Mrs. Sheridan.
Blair introduced joint resolution
which referred to the Committee on For
eign Relations, requesting the Presiden
to open negotiations looking toward the
settlement of the differences between
England and this country and to polit
ical union between Canada and the
United States.
Senator Jones introduced a resolution
instructing the Finance Committee to in
quire into the alleged ombination O.
producers of bagging. 1t went over.
The Senate resumed consideration o
the Fisheries treaty in open executive
session and was addressed by Vance il
favor OF it's ratification. He said tn,
simple truth was that a Presidential
election was coming on and the Repub
lican party wished to raise row agains
Great Britain to get the Irish vote.
The Presidents message announcing
the death of General Sheridan havin,
been read, Hawley rose and said No
thing l can say, Mr.. President, is need
ed to set forth the loss which the coun
try has sustained by the death of tha
able, brilliant, magnificent soldier ant
beloved General, Philip H. Sheridan

by the House, and I now send to tn
desk resolution for which l ask immed
late consideration.
| ResOlyed, That the Chair is requested
to appoint committee Of seven Senators
to attend the funeral services OF Genera
Sheridan.
The resolution was adopted, and Sen
ators Hawley, Manderson, Cullom
Stewart, Hampton, Gibson and Gra,
were appointed.
The Senate then adjourned.

tits impossible to 60 through the whole
tariff item by item, because the protec-
tionists have made the high tariff so ex-
traordinarily complex that it is impos-
sible for a common intelligence to under
stand it, and no one expert even pretends
to understand more than single sche-
dule. But it is in the general plan of the
bill to reduce the very high duties on
the common articles of daily use, and
thus relieve the great mass Of the people
from a part of the burden which they
have been forced by the extreme protec-
tionists to bear. No one can examine the
present tariff without seeing that it is
ingeniously contrived so as to lay the
highest duties on those articles which
are of universal use, and the lowest
duties on articles which only the wealth
ier classes use.
But nowhere is any duty SO cut down
as to "destroy" an established and !egit'
innate industry as has been pretended by
the opponents of the bill.
ANY workingman who will read over
the list above given of industries on
which the duty has not been lowered OIL
changed from the present and of others
which have been reduced only because
their raw material has been made free
will see how carefully the real interests
of workingmen have been guarded in the
Mills bill and how absurd and false il
the cry of "free trade" raised against i
by those who want to maintain need
lessly high duties.

A GREAT hullabaloo has been made by
the Republican press about the injurious
effects OF the Mills bill upon the inter-
ests of California. One of the editors of
the HERALD is in receipt of a letter from
Hon. Thomas l.. Thompson, the able
Democratic member of Congress from
the First District, who gives us resume
of pertinent facts as to the operation OF
the Mills bill on California products.
He says: "Raisins are reduced one
"half cent pound. Prunes are restored
l"to one cent a pound. AS a whole, under
"the fruit schedule, our interests will be
"better protected than under the exist
cling tariff, for the reason that all dam
cage allowances, which are very great
ION fruit, have been abolished, and the
package containing the fruit, now free,
"pays duty at it's value. Looking over
"some of the returns at the Treasury
department of damage allowances
Sat the New York Custom House on
"fruits, especially oranges and raisins,
"fnd that they vary from seven and
"a-half to seventy per cent, where they
"were allowed. This, in my judgment,
"will average fifteen per cent, and will
"be that much advantage to the whole
''fruit schedule, while the reduction
amounts to only twenty-five per cent.
con oranges, lemons, and all the other
"fruits, except raisins and figs, will be
"that much better protected under the
"Mills bill because of the repeal of the
damage and package clauses of the
"present law. Lumber, tin and bags for
grain are made free-an immense ad-
vantage to our farmers and fruit grow
f'ers. Your part of the State especially
twill be benefited under the provisions
"of the Mills bill, and free wool will
stimulate manufactures on our Coast"
And thus the Republican bugaboo
about the dire effects of Democratic tariff
refor m on the interests and products OF
California melts away under the blazing
sun of truth.

THE vote of Los Angeles county on the
9Th of next November will be matter
of no little interest. Our population has
grown 80 rapidly that the actual vote
polled will be fully one hundred per
cent. larger than in any previous cleo
ton. Glancing back a few years we find
that in 1880 the total vote polled was
6,0S6, and Garfelds plurality was sixty
votes. In 1884 the total vote was 10, 1873,
and Blaine's majority was three hundred
and nineteen votes. In 1886 the total en-
rollment of voters in the county was about
nineteen thousand, and that had been an
enormous increase over that of 1884.
But in 1886 there was only State elec-
ton, and the Republican party was bad :
ly split up. The absence of the stimulus
of National election and the demoral-
ization of the Republican party led to
the casting of small vote, the total
polled being only 1884. The
Republican candidate for Governor
got plurality of four hundred and
twenty-five votes. The Prohibition
vote which amounted to 797 made big in
roads in the Republican strength. So
far this year there have been enrolled
more than twenty thousand voters
names. 1t is not to be doubted that the
total enrolment this year will reach as
high as twenty-six thousand voters. TAX
ing account of those citizens who were en-
rolled but did not vote two years ago
and of the newcomers added to our popu-
lation since, it is safe to say that there are
between fourteen thousand and fifteen
thousand voters in this county whose po-
litical bias is still matter of uncertainty.
The vote next November will be prob
ably one hundred per cent. larger than
that of two years ago. How will the new
citizens vote?

TALKS ON THE TARIFF.

A Story or Two About Industries
That Were ''PrOtected'' toDcath.
"The fact is," said Thomas G. sher-
man, talking two months ago to an audi
ence of New England manufacturers,
THAT the tariff has killed so many of
your manufactures and buried them SO
long and 30 effectually that you have en-
tlrely forgotten them, You have forgot
ten that you used to build ships in Maine
which were the swiftest and finest in the
world. You were able then to compete
with foreign ship-builders and sell your
ships abroad. How was it? Not because
wages were low in Maine, for they we're
not. 1t was because Maine had then
cheap materials and paid high
wages to quick and skillful work
men. When ship-building changed
from wood to iron, and you maintained
as you always did, even in 1860, a duty
of "a per cent. upon foreign iron, Maine
lost the advantage of cheap materials.
When you doubled and quadrupled this
duty Maine was still worse off than ever.
Ii GU had been willing to admit Scotch
iron into Maine free of duty the ship.
builders OF Maine would have built their
ships OF iron just as readily as of wood
and all the skill they had acquired in
building wooden ships would have been
equally available to them in building
iron ships. Now you see all the finest
ships for the worlds use built on the
Clyde while ship-building in Maine has
absolutely perished.
You used to have iron manufactures
in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, but
these always depended on having pig
iron as their basis from other districts.
If you had chosen to let in foreign pig
iron there is nothing in the wages Of
your workingmen which would have hin.
dered Massachusetts and Rhode Island
from manufacturing the highest grades
OF iron on large scale. But you shut
your door to the pig iron of other coun
tries, and as you did not produce any
yourself you have DESTROYED your iron
manufacture. If you would have let iron
come in free you might have built ships
at Providence and Boston, but with your
tariff you have made this impossible"
The price Of wool was higher through
out the low tariff period, between 1846
and 1861, on the average, than it has
been since.
Fine broadcloth that rich men wear
pays duty of Al per cent. Cheap mixed
woolens for the workingmen pay about
II per cent. An expensive Indian shawl
which the rich mans wife wears paws 40
per cent. The heavy common shawl of
the poor mans wife pays sc per cent.
Fine thread lace, which is too expensive
for the poor, pays duty of 80 per cent,
and 10 per cent. is all that is collected on
diamonds. But common spool thread
pays 81 per cent. Dainty silk hosiery
pays so per cent, but worsted stockings
pay 73 per cent.
The number of men who were locked
out or went on strike in Pennsylvania
last year, chiefly in the protected" in
dustries, was 111,317. This was nearly
SO per cent. of all the strikers in the
United States for the year.-[N. Y.

Death of G. G. Lips.

For many years one of the best known
business men in Los Angeles WAS G. c..
Lipps. He stood very high mong his fellow
men of all shades of opinion. A couple
of years ago Mr.. Lipps' mind began to
give way, and later he was committed to
the asylum at Stockton. On Sunday the
sad news was received here that Mr..
Lipps had died at that place. His death
will be greatly lamented in Los Angeles.

THE HOUSE.
Resolutions and EuIOgies I'm Honor
of General Sheridan.

Oh 1enefaI sheridan.
WASHINGTON, August 6.-In the open
ing prayer in the House this morning the
chaplain said; go, Eternal God, with
the Nation we stand awe-stricken to. day
by the startling intelligence that the
illustrious career of the General OF the
Army is ended. The brilliant story of
his achievements is within the annals of
the country, and he has gone to the bar
OF history. We commend to Thy
almighty protection and Fatherhood, the
wife who has been widowed and the
children who have been made fatherless. %
Routine business was interrupted by a
message from the President, announcing
the death of General Sheridan.
Wheeler, of Alabama, said this was
the third time in the history of the Gov
ernment that there had been announced
the death of the commander of the Army
of the United States. He had prepared
resolutions appropriate to the occasion
but was informed that the Military Com
mittee had agreed to resolutions and he
would refrain from Offering his.
Hooker, of Mississippi, then asked un-
animous consent to offer the following:
Resolved, That this House has learned
with profound grief the death of General
P. II. Sheridan, Commander of the
Armies of the United States. =.
Resolved, That as a mark of respect to
the memory of the deceased, that the
House be now adjourned.
Resolved, That the Speaker of the
House be directed to transmit to the
widow OF the deceased copy of these
resolutions and an assurance of the SYM
pathy of the House in the loss she has
sustained, in common with the people of
the country.
Resolved, That the Speaker of this
House appoint committee OF seven
members to confer with like committee
of the Senate, and after consultation
with the family of the deceased, to take
such action as may be appropriate in
regard to the public obsequies of General
Sheridan.
Hooker then briefly addressed the
House in eulogy Of the deceased soldier,
descended from a race of people which
had given to the world in the old country
and in the new, the greatest commanders
of any people on earth. The career of
the distinguished military man whom
these resolutions were designed to honor,
was mark of the singular fact that in
this country there was no position in
civil or military life, that was not within
the reach of the humblest citizen of tie
land. General Sheridan inherited from
his father the fire and spirit of that great
Irish race that had so successfully fought
the battles of all countries save it's own.
At an early day General Sheridan grad
uated from the military academy and
was assigned to duty in the army. He
obtained prominence in the late contest
between the States, which gave him
position second only to that Of the great
leader of the Federal army, and this
Congress had few weeks before his
death conferred on him the title of Gen
eral, when he yet lay on the bed of sick
ness which finally became his couch of
death. The resolutions were designed
TO express the universal grief and sorrow
Of the Nation at the death OF the Com
mander of the Armies Of the United

Jas. H. Wallick and his own company
opened last night in w. H. Young's five
act drama, The Cattle King. The play
is a frontier one, as its name indicates.
1t is full Of knives, pistols, poker playing,
cattle thieves and other exciting features
The company is well drilled in their
roles, and this remark applies to the
horses and donkey, which perform q
large part in the play. And while
the Cattle King has many OF
the marked features of the frontier
play in its composition, with exciting in
cidents, ETC., yet it is far from being
devoid of fun. The gallery rang and re-
sounded last night with genuine notes OF
appreciation. There was no suspicion OF
the claque about the rounds OF applause
which greeted the many good points
made. The house which assembled was
found bit top-heavy to be sure, but far
from sparse below stairs. The Cattle

Continuing the question commenced in my

conclusion, how many lamps arc necessary,
becomes the next subject Of discussion On the
basis Of effective radius of 200 feet the answer
is easily found. The square of 400 10 l60. 600,
equal to three and two thirds acres, 4.3l0 d.
vided by three and two-thirds gives the number
of lamps at LIS and alleys unprovided for

LOCO lamps by spacing them somewhat further
apart IN the outlying districts But . less num-

ment to the citizens Of this place, and then what
