The Eapress of Saturday made sickly
attempt to be sensational on the natural
ization of voters, who, it assumes. will
vote the Democratic ticket. This is the
old, old story which has been raised
against the Democracy ever since the
days of old John Adams. Our esteemed
contemporary has much to say about the
ignorance of those who have been natur-
allied, and it arraigns one of the Judges
for performing his duty. The so-called
American party is not yet ruling the
United States, and from present appear
ances it will be a long time before it does
so. Meanwhile, the foreigner will be
made citizen as the law provides, even
if he should commit the heinous crime OF
voting the Democratic ticket.

in the next decade. will contain tens of
thousands of people. The newly opened
road also traverses quite large and val
liable territory in the northern portion of
San Diego county, which has hitherto
been precluded from rapid settlement by
the lack OF railway facilities. San Juan
Capistrano itself lies very happily near
the ocean, in charming and productive
valley, and from its location and other
natural advantages it ought to become a
large and prosperous town. Our cores
pondents will doubtless serve up many
facts of interest concerning this interest.

their custom is, with one conspicuous
exception. They are not claiming Ore
gon to any great extent. Let. us see !;

A Stubborn Fire.

SAN Francisco, August 12.-One of
the most stubborn fires which the fire
department has had to combat for some
time, broke out this afternoon in brick
building at No. 1l6 and lis California
street. When the fire department ar
rived a dense volume of smoke burst
through the roof and windows, and
when the iron doors were battered in the
smoke nearly suffocated the fremen and
seriously impeded their progress. 1t
was some time before they could ascer-
tain the location of the fire, and then
several streams of water were turned on
the flames. 1t required an hour and half
of hard and steady work to subdue the fire.
The loss amounted to $50, 900. 1t is sup.
posed the fire originated in the rear of
the second story, occupied by David Ra-
vekes, dealer in paints, oils and glass.
His astock was valued at about 1000
and was insured for S. 900.

The Man who Talks Toe Much.

The Republican leaders are becoming
quite restive at the garrulity of the head
Of their ticket, and they show signs of
being very anxious to slow him down.
Ever since his nomination Gen. Harrison
has been pouring out stream of smooth
commonplaces to audiences that are
represented by the glib correspondents
who are stationed around him to be i'm
mense, but which are really very small
bodies. He is not the first candidate
who has talked himself into defeat and
he will probably not be the last. A re-
cent issue of the New York World has
the following timely remarks upon this
popularity of the Generals:
General Harrison will not help him
self in the estimation of intelligent
voters by the puerilities to which he de-
scends in most of his short speeches to
delegations. Puerile indeed is his argu-
ment that because American laborers
their own," while immigrants from other
lands are flocking to our shores, there
fore the war tariff is blessing.
There is not bright school boy in In
diana who does not know that emigra-
ton has turned to America for the past
forty years because here there are free
dom, cheap land, great demand for
labor and a chance to 'get on in the
world"-because as Chief-J ustice Fuller
eloquently summed it up, "The Repub-
lie is Opportunity"
The tariff has had about as much to do
with immigration as stump speeches
have to do with the changes of the moon.
In 1857, under a 20 per cent. tariff, and
before any organized efforts were made
to stimulate emigration, the number of
immigrants arriving in the United States
was 246, ,945. In 1877, under AZ per
cent. tariff, the number of immigrants
was only 141, 1857. And from 1876 to
1880, under the same high tariff, the
average was only 100000 year.
There are a good many citizens who
would think it sufficient reason for a
reduction of duties if the high tariff is
really responsible for the present excess
sive immigration. But the truth is, that
as neither the Pilgrim Fathers nor the
Cavaliers came to this country for the
blessed privilege of being taxed to make
other people prosperous, SO the immigra-
ton has continued, and wages have
always been higher here thar in the over
crowded Old World, alike under high
tariffs and low tariffs. And this would be
case if there were no tariffs.
General Harrison ought to show more
respect for the intelligence of the people
whose votes he seeks.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-08-13

The coming election in California will
be specially interesting on three grounds.
In the first place it will ascertain the
strength of the Prohibition party, which
is this year making extraordinary efforts
to show that it is the party of the future.
This movement is especially active in
such places as Pasadena, where the pop
ulation has grown with great rapidity
during the past two or three years. We
have heard sanguine Prohibitionists
claim that their vote in Pasadena this
year will be as large as that of the Re-
publican party. This may be an exagge-
rated claim, but the fact that it can be
made even by sanguine apostle of cold
water shows that the movement has
great strength there. In the second
place the coming election will show pre-
cisely what effect the detection of almost
the entire German vote will have upon
the Republican organization. 1t is now
settled beyond doubt that this large
and respectable element of the popula-
ton Of California has done with the Re-
puDlicans for good and all. Once before
in California the Germans voted with the
Democrats almost en- masse and the re-
suit, largely due to their action, elected
Stoneman Governor by the enormous
majority Of 22,0OO-the largest ever re-
corded in the history of the Common
wealth. The third question which will
be determined will be as to whether the
people of California can be bamboozled
on the tariff question, and made to be-
lieve that moderate and conservative
reduction of the war tariff means free
trade. The HERALD has an abiding con-
fdence that all these questions will be
determined in favor of the Democratic
partv

BANDA1.SAN. II
Terrible Volcanic Eruptions I'm
Japan.

SAN Francisco, August 12.-The steam
er City OF Sydney, which arrived this
evening from Hongkong and Yokohama,
brings, through japan journals, particu-
lars of the volcanic eruption of Bandai-
San on the 18th of July. The details of
the catastrophe come in somewhat dis
connected form. The Choya Shimbun
dispatched special reporter to the scene.
According to his account, the villages
around Bandai-San heard strange rum
bling sounds and felt shocks of earth
quske on the 18th. These phenomena
continued intermittently for two days and
nights, but not being attended by any Sc
rious result no great disquietude was felt
On the morning OF the 18th at about" 8
O'Clock the smaller Bandai-San trembled
and roared as though hundred thunder
storms we're combined. Almost imme-
diately afterwards ashes began to fall !;
the sky suddenly grew dark and the
rumbling sounds continued, accompanied
by violent earthquakes and fare of
dazzling flame. The crest of the smaller
Bandai-San appeared to be lifted bodily
upwards and then to fall again with
tremendous noise. The followed showers
of red mud mingled with large
stones, spreading havoc around. Such
was the nature Of nearly all the matter
erupted-red mud without small stones,
but accompanied occasionally by heavy
rocks. Above the mud fell few inches
ashes. In five villages, Iwase, Yososean,
Wakomiya, Misato and Hibara, the
greater part of the houses were buried
to a depth of from seven to twenty
feet. The state of the bodies
recovered is terrible. Some are literally
cut to pieces; others are parboiled so
that it is scarcely possible to distinguish
between men and women. A few
corpses were found suspended from
branches of trees, which had caught
them as they fell. Up to the seventeenth
the number of bodies recovered was 476.
1t is believed sixty-one still lie entombed.
The wounded number is forty-one,
Eighty-seven houses were burned.
A telegram to the Home Department
dated July 25th, states the total number
of population damaged by the late catas.
trophe, either directly or indirectly, is
2447 of whom 763 are direct sufferers, and
over 1880 are indirectly injured
and are unable to provide for them
selves. OF the 760 direct sufferers twelve
are now supported by the Rancho, and
over 700 are soon to be provided for. The
larger portion of the land damaged was
in an uncultivated region.

came on to Bakersfield, arriving here
this, morning where he secured the
services of Constable Tibbet and
they Immediately started for the place.
They reached there about II O'Clock.
and spied the fugitives sitting under a
tree. One of them sprang to his feet
and commenced firing at Tibbet, at the
same time retreating behind tree.
Tibbet quickly returned fire, hitting him
in the wrist. Then began a fusilade.
Tibbet on the open plain fred four
shots, while the Mexican fired five from
his refuge, but with no effect. Tibbet
then fred a shot, hitting the Mexican
and severely wounding him, after which
the thieves surrendered and were
taken to Bakersfield and lodged in Jail.

short as it is, it is long enough either for

"That is not the shout of men who are
going to win," said Lochiel at Killicran-

the Republican Senate as to whether it
will bring in tariff bill or not is likely
to give its party much encouragement.
1t is admitted that the tariff needs re-
forming, but it cannot be intelligently

neither avoid nor settle the dilemma

The Haight street Game Winds Up
i'm q Row.

SAN Francisco, August 12.-About
10000 people attended the Haight street
grounds this afternoon and witnessed a
careless game between the Pioneers and
Haverlys. The players in both clubs
did miserable work, the Pioneers doing
by far the worst. 1t was
a game full of muffs, fumbles,
and stupid plays. The Haverlys, while
their playing was not as bad as the Pio-
neers, played badly enough. During the
game Umpire Vancourt was accused of
favoring the Haverlys in his decisions.
Immediately after the game ended
Umpire Van Court was sur
rounded by an infuriated crowd,
many of whom had lost few
dollars on the game through his alleged
unfair rulings. At the end of the ninth
inning he walked up to the press stand
toinform the scorer of five-dollar fine
which he had imposed on Lawton for
display of temper during the game, as
he walked away an excited individual and
called him vile name. when Van Court
struck him stinging blow on the throat.
Van Court then proceeded few feet
when another man cursed him in the,
vilest kind OF language. Van Court struck
his second traducer full in the face. They
then clinched, but police officers rushed
in and separated them. The officers had
to draw their clubs and threaten the crowd
before they could make any headway in
their efforts to convey Van Court to the
club house. His assailant was placed
under arrest, but at the solicitation of
Manager Harris he was released. Score:
Haverlys 6, Pioneers 5.
THE GAME AT STOCKTON.
STOCKTON, August 11.-Owing to the
illness Of Lorrigan, the Stocktons to-day
put Charles Chase, an amateur, in the
box in the game with the Greenhood &
Morans. The young man pitched re-
markable we'll, and while the score was
7 to in favor of the home team, the
visitors should bave been shut
out. Not until the sixth inning was
he found for hit. The playing
was very spirited and sharp, not an err
ror being made on either side for six
innings. Whiteheads hitting and Long
and Selna's fielding, with the twirling
of Chase, were the features of the game.
Score: Stockton's T. Greenwood & Mo-
rams 6.
