THERE is every indication that the Re-
publican County Convention, which
meets in Los Angeles to-day, will have a
torrid time of it. The people who started
out to run things with high hand have
overdone the thing, and will find them
selves the victims of that vaulting ambi-
ton which o'erleaps itself and fall o. the
other side. The granger will arrive red.
eyed from his bucolic haunts, and deter
mined to frown down the giddy city bal
lot-box stuffer. 1t will be as much as a
candidates. political life will be worth to
avow sympathy with the Moyamensing
engine company political methods that
were in vogue in Los Angeles last satur-
day. But the persuasive manners of the
gentleman whom the Times somewhat
irreverently dubs Smoothly" will doubt
less be availed of to their utmost to make
things run easily, and the commanding
political genius of the statesman from the
Fifth Ward will also be called into play.

Capital Cuttings.

The House Committee on Agriculture
to-day decided to report to the House the
Lee bill to prevent the sale, manufacture
or transportation of adulterated articles
of food, drink or drugs; also substitute
for the Butterworth bill defining lard
and imposing a tax on compound lard
and regulating it's sale, importation and
expectation.
The Select Committee appointed by the
House to investigate the charges of the
inclusion of improper matter in the
Rebellion Records publication, resumed
its inquiry to-day. Representative
Grosvenor, General Boynton and Captain
Bryan, foreman of the Government
printing office, testified Nothing i'm
portant was developed.
Postmaster General Dickinson TODAY
issued circular letter OF instruction to
postmasters, that under provision of the
Postoffice Appropriation bill, recently
passed by Congress, postage on seeds,
cuttings, bulbs, roots, scions and plants
will be charged at the rate of one cent
for each two ounces or fraction thereof.
The former rate was one cent per ounce,

The Times says that the New York
Times and Evening Post supported Cleve-
land in 1884 as we'll as now. This is true
1t is also true, if our esteemed contempo.
rary will be kind enough to remember,
that Cleveland was elected in 1884. The
powerful help of these journals in New
York will unquestionably be warmly ap-
preciated by the Democratic leaders now
as it was then. They are, nevertheless,
Republican journals, and supported
Grant, Hayes and Garfield. They are
acting with the Democratic party now
because they believe that Cleveland has
made good President.

In ABOUT two weeks the Annual Fair
OF the Sixth District will take place at
Agricultural Park in this city. The
speed tests and the displays of fruit and
other products OF our farms will all be at
the Park. Now, every farmer in the dis.
trict and every other person of whatso-
ever occupation, should do all that in
him lies to make the fair success. 1t
will be most excellent opportunity for
each section in the district to advertise
its products and attractions. Thousands
will see the displays of various sorts
made. Strangers from all parts of the
Union will be there, and they will GO
abroad all over the land and make known
what they may, see. Let the farmers
and others awake to the Importance OF
the occasion, and do their part to make
the fair worthy of the district.

JUST now Republican journals have 8
good deal to say about silver, and pro-
fess great devotion to the double stand
ard. AS we have repeatedly clearly
shown, silver was demonetized by Re.
publican trick. The sincerity of Repub.
ican devotion to silver on this Coast
will be shown when it comes to nominat-
ing a successor to McKenna. That gen.
tleman defeated silver plank which had
been written by United States Senator
Stewart, and which was in the draft Of
the platform which was telegraphed to
the Chronicle from the Los Angeles Con-
vention that nominated John F. Swift
for Governor. Mr.. McKenna's hostility
to silver will not damage his standing in
the Republican party whit, and he will
be renominated.

THE-latest estimate of the population
of California places the figures at one
million five hundred thousand. This is
probably no exaggeration. The census
of 1890 ought to show a couple of hun
dred thousand more people, and our
representation in Congress ought to be
increased largely. The Legislature of
California should provide for census
every ten years, to be taken about mid
way of the National census. There is
such provision in the constitution of the
State of New York and of some of the
other States. Ten years is entirely too
long period to wait for the enumeration
of the people and for the adjustment OF
the Congressional representation. We
ought of right to have twelve members
of the House OF Representatives instead
of six, and ii we had them we should fare
much better at the hands of the national
government. We have suffered from
national neglect on the coast because we
have not had the representation to
which our numbers, wealth and vast ex.
tent of territory Justly entitle us.

HOUSE PROCEEDuNGS.
The United States Land Court HfI,
PASSed.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-The House
took up and considered the bill to estab.
lish United States Land Court. and to
provide for the judicial investigation and
settlement of private land claims in the
Territories of Arizona and New Mexico
and the State of Colorado. 1t establishes
United States Land Court to consist of
a Chief Justice and two Associate
Justices, appointed by the President. bv
| and with the advice and consent of the
Senate.
Smith, OF Arizona, offered an amend
ment exempting Arizona from the pro.
visions of the bill, contending that it
would prove to be great hardship to
the bona .fde settlers in that Territory
McCreary, of Kentucky, inquired
whether the gentleman had not received
a petition from the Bar Association of
Arizona, in favor of the bill.
Smith-That is it. The Land Grant
lawyers will get very rich out of this if
this bill is passed.
McCreary contended that Justice to
the people of Arizona, New Mexico and
Colorado as well as justice to the people of
the United States demanded that the pri
vate land claims of that Territory should
be settled, and he argued that the pend
ing OIL presented the best practical
method of settlement.
Joseph of New Mexico, favored the bill.
declaring the people of his Territory were
a unit in advocating it's passage.
Symes,. OF Colorado, supported the bill,
as being in the interest of the small set.
tiers in his State and in the Territories
mentioned.
Thomas, of Wisconsin, opposed the
amendment, asserting that in Arizona.
the most bold, reckless, and gigantic
schemes of robbery had been attempted
in relation to land grants.
An amendment was adopted, reducing
from 40 to 20 years the period of continu.
GUS occupancy which shall be evidence of
title or ownership.

DYNAMITERS IN COURT.
An Indictment M ade by the Chicago
Grand Jury.

CHICAGO, July 25.-Indictments fol
conspiracy to commit murder were found
by the Grand Jury to-day against the
four Anarchist conspirators. In the
morning Inspector Bonfeld was on
hand with the informer, Frank
Chleboun. Other witnesses:were present
but Chleboun was the most important
witness for the State. His story was a
complete confession OF the plot and he
also told of the visits to Grinnell's and
(iary's house on July Sd and 4th. The
State has his confession in full and it is
expected the evidence against the other
conspirators is SO complete as to warrant
convictions.
THE BURLINGTON CASE.
AURORA, ILL.,, July 25.-The courtroom
to-day was crowded to witness the OPEN
ing proceedings in the Burlington dyna-
mite conspiracy cases. The cases Of
Bauerisen and Smith was taken up on
warrants sworn out on July 18th, charg-
ing them with placing dynamite on the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy tracks
on June 14th.

The San Bernardino Republican Con-
vention speaks of General Vandever's
"heroic" services in Congress. This is a
somewhat expansive word for the service.
1t is doubtless on the principle of the law
of compensations, on the plan OF small
deeds needing big phrases to assure
their dignity. If it were not for resolu-
tions like the one referred to the people
would be in dense ignorance of the Gen
erals "heroic" deeds.

WHILE acting as United States Senator
General Ben Harrison, of Indiana, per.
sistently voted against every measure
intended to restrict the immigration Of
Chinese into the United States. He as
persistently voted for the granting Of
any political or other privilege proposed
for these people. In order to secure the
vote OF the Pacific States General Harri
son processes conversion from his er.
roneous view on the Chinese question
His conversion is a sham. He is al
heart pro-Chinese statesman to-day
and should he reach the Presidential
chair his policy would be shaped SC
as to favor the entrance of Chinese
in unlimited numbers on these
shores. General Harrison does not
stand alone in the Republican party on
this question. In spite OF all professions
to the contrary that party is in favor OF
admitting Chinese to this country. This
is absolutely true Of Republicans at the
East. There is hardly an exception to
be found as corroborative of the rule.
The Republicans of the Coast are at
heart as unsound as those of the East
on this matter. Mr.. De Young, of the
Chronicle is but the index of them all.
He did all in his power to prevent
the nomination of Harrison, and
based his objections to the candidate
on his Chinese record. Not succeeding
in preventing this nomination Mr.. De
Young eats crow and tries not to gag in
his efforts at deglutition. And the party
rank and file follow suit. These people
are utterly insincere in their pretended
hostility to the Chinese. Their accept.
ance of Harrison proves their hypocrisy.
Pacific coast voters who are not be-
sottedly welded to this party of hypo.
critical pretenses will do we'll to consider
whether or not they will aid in
the whole people of these States
with the unenviable reputation of heinz
insincere demagogues whose professions
are utterly dishonest.

ALREADY the tide of travel begins to

yet too early to gauge it's volume. The
fact that this is Presidential year will
probably make it later than usual. Flor

WAR CLOUDS.

1t is impossible to tell whether the
warllke indications in Europe are
genuine or whether they proceed in
some degree from the paucitv of
news which succeeds the election. In
London it is reported that the move
ment of Russian troops on the west
ern frontier, taken together with the
rumor of an increase in the pending
Russian loan, has created a strong
feeling of uneasiness at Vienna, and
that it is considered there that Germ
any and Austria will be compelled to
make counter movement in order to
restore the equilibrium on the frontier.
This may be, however, the merest
rumor, as it is easy to see that where
people live almost surrounded by
vast armies, as is the case with the
Vienese, every trifing charge or move
ment of troops assumes a great deal
of Importance.
There is, beyond question, an un-
easy feeling respecting the movements
of the young Emperor of Germany.
As has been said of him by nearly
all critics, he is above all else soldier.
He is wholly devoid of those tender
and kindly feelings which seem to
have characterized his father, and he
has not the self-control which years
had brought to his grandfather. He

military fame and distinction, with

these circumstances close observers
of European affairs really believe that
France is in more danger of an attack
from Germany than Germany from
France, even allowing for the impet-
uosity and war-like ardor of General
Boulanger and his followers.
However, the season is now so far
advanced that we need scarcely look
for the beginning of a campaign dur
ing the tall or winter. The elements

A Hugh Placer Scheme.

The large placer grounds in Carl

Cariboo has been known a long time
as good placer country, but the
claims were so divided up that they
could not be worked to advantage.
Mr.. c. j. Clark took hold of the mat
ter three or four months ago, and
bought out the owners, some fifteen
in all. This done, he organized In
Chicago the American Placer Com
pany, composed of Chicago, Michigan
and Ohio men of large capital. The
capital stock was placed at 100000
shares, at SIG each. Alfred Kiddor
of Marquette, Michigan, is president
and W. B. Dalliba general manager.
The company owns 5000 acres of
placer ground, extending twelve miles
along Mccoy Greek, and ranging from
five to eight feet deep. 1t samples
from Is cents up to a number of dol
lars per cubic foot, some of the gravel
close to bedrock running up to nearly

ago that the titles were all made clear
and the placers fully possessed by the
new company, and yet they have 800
