City and Township.
The Gerrymand der.

our esteemed hepuDllcan COntempOra-
ries pretend to think that the new Char
ter does not gerrymander the city in the
interest of its party. By the apportion.
ment proposed one ward will comprise
that part of the city known as East Los
Angeles. The river bounds it on one
side and Mission road on the other. As
all people know who know anything
about the political complexion of our
population, that section of the city is
overwhelmingly Republican. Boyle
Heights is also ward, another Sec
tion where no Democrat would have a
ghost of show. A third ward lies in
the northwest portion of the city, en-
bracing all the way out Temple street,
Angelefo Heights, Victor Heights, the
hills between Temple and Second
streets. 1t lies all west of Main
street. 1t is that portion of the present
Second ward where nearly all the Re-
publican votes Of that ward are found.
1t is Republican by large majority.
The next proposed subdivision is the
heart of the present Third ward, which
is Republican beyond redemption. To
be sure it is at present represented by
two men who ran on Democratic ticket,
but it is too well known to merit discus
sion that they hold their seats by virtue
OF Republican votes, and in all party
questions in the Council they side with
the Republican party. The next SUBJ
division is the strip lying west of
Main street and between Seventh and
Washington, which is surely Republican.
Then we have ward comprising all the
southwest section of the city lying west
of Main and stretching to the University.
1t is DR.. sinsabaugh's bailiwick, and is
very heavily Republican. Here are the
Six Republican wards out of total nine.
There is no doubt about the Republican
majority in all of them. The southern
portion of the city between Main and the
river is ward, and that is fairly debate.
able ground. The portion lying directly
north of this last, between Main and the
river, is also about evenly divided pol
ihcally. Then comes the heart OF
the city below Main to the river
with the corners of Los Angeles street
and Commercial as it's center, where the
great body of the Democratic vote is all
huddled up into one ward. No man who
is well acquainted with the vote in these
several sections can doubt for a moment
that the gerry mander is complete, To
say otherwise brands the speaker az
ignorant of the facts, or as wilfully mis-
stating them. To say that after the CITY
is turned over, delivered up, bound hand
and foot to Republican Council, that
same Council so constituted will re. dis.
hict the city in the interest of tair play
to the Democracy, is childish, is the
most utter rubbish. 1t is trash no Sane
man will swallow. The man who puts
forward such an argument is dealing in
subterfuge, and the people will know it
and they will know he is doing it for nc
good purpose. Let us make sure of a
fair Charter by voting down this one.

WASHINGTON. October 1S.-In tele.
gram received by the Treasury Depart
ment, the Collector at San Francisco an
nounces the arrival at his port of the
American steamer Bertha with ninety
Chinese laborers. The steamer, he saws.
cleared at Kodiak Island, Alaska,
whittier they went from San Francisco.
The Collector asks for ruling whether
the Chinese should be permitted to land.
In reply, Assistant Secretary MAYNARD
says that these Cinnamon may be regard
ed as never having left the United States
and may therefore be permitted to land.
He advises, however, that strict proof of
this be demanded.
JUDGE TERRY's PETITION,
Judge Shellabarger to-day filed appli-
cation in the Supreme Court for a writ
of habeas corpus in the case of David S.
Terry, Of California, sentenced by Judge
Field to imprisonment for contempt Of
court.
The petition in Judge Terry's behalf
takes the ground that his committal was
void for the reason that the prisoner was

not present in the court at the time SEN
tence was imposed upon him.

NOTES.
The Secretary Of War has appointed a
court of inquiry to investigate the charges
of defective work in the Washington
aqueduct tunnel.
1t is stated on good authority that the
President has promised TO visit New
York before election, and review parade
of the business men of that city, but it is
not his intention to make a speech.
The Sioux Chiefs have not yet submit
ted their answer to the Presidents prop
osition OF yesterday, made to them by
Secretary Villas, but it is understood they
have decided not to accept it.

them. He has not devoted all the sur
plus to this parpose, for the reason that
the bond SPECTATORS have SO cornere d
the bonds to obtain exorbitant premiums
that only limited quantities can be had
at reasonable rates. Secretary Fairchild
fully explained to the great meeting in
Wall street three days ago, all the oper-
atoms OF the Treasury in connection with
the financial strigency consequent on the
diversion of money for moving of the
crops this year. His explanation was
satisfactory in every respect, and
was full answer to Blaine's
reckless statements. The stringency was
relieved by depositing money in Ma
tional banks that furnished the security
required in the shape of United States
bonds. He showed that nearly every
one of these banks We're ofiicered by Re-
publicans.
But what shall we say OF Blaine's
declaration that if Republican Secre-
tary of the Treasury had loaned sixty
millions to pet banks all over the country
Democratic House of Representatives
would have moved for his impeach-
ment. In other words, Mr.. Blaine
says that no Republican Secretary
of the Treasury had ever loaned
money to pet banks. In a public docu-
ment entitled "Specis Resumption and
Refunding," sent to the Forty-sixth
Congress by Hon. John Sherman, Re-
publican Secretary OF the Treasury, at
pages 9S4 and 9S5, is statement of
"Assets OF the United States Treasury. 3"
Among these assets are the following
items for seven successive months
DEPOSITS HELD BY NATIONAL BANK DEPosITo-
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-10-19

Here is from three to four times the
amount of money in each month OF 1879,
excepting August, deposited by Sherman
over the amount deposited by Fairchild.
Blaine was in Congress at the time Sher-
man was making these deposits in pet
Republican banks, yet We never heard
of any protest or objection from him.
With Blaine it makes all the difference
in the world whether a transaction is la
beled Republican" or "Democratic' to
arouse his admiration or provoke his ire.

The laying of duties originally was
a mighty testimony to American pat
riotism. 1t was q war tax, but there
was never anything by which money
could oe made to flow into certain
pockets at the expense of others, that
didn't find men mean and cunning and
selfish enough to take advantage of it.

ufacturers of the Eastern and Middle
States. They are organized into clubs
and protective leagues, and when any
reduction of duty is threatened, they
are rich enough and sharp enough to
send smart agents to Washington who
move heaven and earth to secure their
point. They join with Congressman
from the "deluded" farming districts
and raise the cry, "free wool will ruin
you," and they look to it that these
men shall be prodded by letters from
their constituents at home; and SO the
abuse goes on.-Hdrriet ". Plunkett, in

THAT plank in the Republican Ter
ritorial platform which refers to labor
in the coal mines Of the Territory was
originally published declaring opposi-
ton to colored" labor in the mines.
A day or SO later, "Col." Haines, the
Chairman of the Territorial Committee,
corrected the platform and had it
read child" labor, which he declared
was according to the original doeu-
ment. In view of the fact that no
9: child" labor is employed in our coal
mines, and the Northern Pacific Coal
Company having recently put "col-
ored" labor in one of their mines at
Roslyn, where serious labor troubles
were recently reported on account of
the introduction of -colored labor, it
loooks like clear case of going back
on the platform. Two years ago the
Republican. Territorial Committee is
sued campaign circular devoted to
the forfeiture question. 1t was soon
discovered that it was going to hurt
the ticket, and kilograms were sent in
every direction to stop the dis.ribu-
ton of the deadly circulars, and then
they charged it to the Democrats, but
it wouldn't work, and finally the whole
dishonest scheme was exposed. 1t
looks very much as though the noted
"Col." had been monkeying with the
platform.

The Candidate OH Labor.

San Francisco Examiner.
The Indianapolis Journal has taken
new tack in the controversy over the
question whether Mr.. Harrison ever
said that dollar a day was enough
for workingman. Now that q repu-
table citizen offers to swear to the
truth of the story the Journal modifies
its original proposition and announces
its willingness to give a reward of
$4,000, provided a Democratic Judge
and : Democratic jury, following the
usual legal methods, will decide that
the accusation is proved.
Perhaps the Journal has been read
ing the New York Tribune. Not long
ago Western Democrat offered to for
felt SIC, 1000 if three Republican Judges
of the Supreme Court of Wisconsin
would declare President Cleveland's
message free-trade document. The
Tribune grew savagely sarcastic over
the suggestion. 1t called the Western
Democrat a humbug, because it said
that everybody must know that no
Judge would drag his position into
politics in the way proposed. Perhaps
the Journal, taking a hint from its
New York leader, adopted plan that
it thought would be safe.
Meanwhile it may be of interest to
reproduce the affidavit which has called
out the latest signs of activity from
Mr.. Harrison's organ, and to mention
the fact that the threat of the Repub-
lican managers to arrest the signer for
perjury has not yet been fulfilled.

John G. Schwartz, being duly sworn,
testifies, under oath, that he was en-
ployed by the Cleveland, Columbus,
Cincinnati and indianapolis Railway
in July, 1871; that he went on strike
OA tHC uhy tuo1 tiiC etilhc GOOk place.,
on or about July 10, 1877, for an in
crease of wages; that he was present
at the conference meeting in the old
Council Chamber, held during the pc
riod that the strike lasted, where Ben
jamin Harrison, Albert G. Porter and
other prominent citizens spoke with
reference to the strike. That he heard
Benjamin Harrison say that they (the
strikers) were lawbreakers, and as such
we're not entitled to any sympathy
whatever from the public; that the
said Benjamin Harrison (now Presi-
dental candidate) further said that the
men ought to return TO their work
that the railroads could not afford to
pay higher wages; that the wages were
enough, and that 81 per day was
enough for any workingman; that he
himself could live on that amount
And that Benjamin Harrison further
said that if the men did not return to
work the militia should be brought in
to service and the men forced to return
to work. JOHN G. SCHWARTZ.

Don't You See It?

"Don't you see," said the manufac.
turer to the workingman," that duty
of imports protects me, because it
enables me to get higher, prices from
the home consumer, than I could
otherwise get"
eyes," replied the workingman,
"and am home consumer"
"True" responded the manufacturer,
"but you can afford to pay higher
prices because the tariff give me big
profits and l am therefore able to pay
you wages in proportion"
"Why don't you do &c then ?"
asked the werkingman.
because am not in the philan-
thropy line of business and don't
have to. Labor comes in free of -duty
and the competition of laborers governs
the rate of wages"
II see," said the workingman, al
never could clearly understand before
how the tariff kept up wages, but of
course l see it now."
This is the whole argument in a
nutshell.-Er.

William b. Allison.

William b. Allison was born in the
township of Perry, Wayne county,
Ohio, March 2, 1929, and spent the
most of his boyhood on farm. He
was educated chiefly at Allegheny col
Tlege, Pennsylvania, and graduated from
the Western Reserve college, Ohio,
when he dropped collegiate for legal
studies He was admitted to the bar
in 1851, and practiced the profession
in Ohio until 1857, when he settled in
Dubuque, Iowa. He soon acquired q
reputation for shrewdness and wisdom
in political matters, and the young
lawyer had not been long in Iowa be-
fore he had become member of the
Governors staff. At the outbreak of
the civil war he displayed very COM
mendable activity in organizing forces
in his adopted State. Mr.. Allison be-
gan to be very popular in Iowa, and it
was with great confidence of success
that the Republican caucus nominated
him as candidate for election to the
Thirty-eighth Congress. He was elect
ed successfully to the Thirty-eighth,
Thirty-ninth, Fortieth and Forty-first
Congresses. In the year 1873 he was
elected to the United States Senate as
Il Republican, to succeed James Har-
Ian, Republican, for the term ending
in 1879, and since then has retained
his seat without interruption. He has
served ON the Committee on Ways and
Means, Mines and Mining, and Ex-
penditures in the Interior Department.
Mr.. AllisOn's record in both houses OF
Congress is highly honorable. From
the beginning of the exciting sessions
of the Thirty-rinth Congress, the
name of Allison, which headed. the
roll, always elected an emphatic
"yea" or "no." Senator Allison
has always manifested lively in
terest in legislation regulating the
affairs of the District of Columbia, In
dian rights and appropriations, army
and navy appropriations, measures re-
garding telegraph lines and the sale of
public lands. Senator Allison is not
an orator. 1t is very seldom that he
makes an extended speech, but he
filings out observations and concise re-
marks with great effect. Some of his
brief statements made in the course of
debates have become famous, and will
ever be preserved in the records of
Congress.

SOME of the readers OF this paper
will no doubt be pleased to learn that
cigar smoking is on the decline in the
city of New York. There were over
five million less cigars manufactured
in that city during August, 1888, than
during the same month of last year.
but the deficiency in cigars is more
than made up by the increase in the
consumption OF vile cigarettes, which
is ten times worse.
