Economy OF A. L. Stewart and Mrs
Aston.

A story has lately been told that IL
Illustrates A. I. Stewards noted econo-
mical spirit. He had given q dinner
and theater party, and instead of tax
ing his guests to the theater in car
riages, as they had expected, he hailed
a stage and democratically hustled
them all into it. Judge and Mrs. Hill
ton were of the party. While paying
the fares Mr.. Stewart dropped a piece
of money. and during almost the entire
trip kept turning up straw in the bot
tom Of the stage in search of it. Judge
Hilton, who was sitting near him, took
from his pocket nickel, and, passing
it to the millionaire, said: For Heaven :
sake, Mr.. Stewart put this in your
pocket, and don't kick up any more
dust with that straw"
And here is something similar about
Mrs. John Jacob Aston. who died not
long ago: One night when the candle
by which the servants lighted their way
to bed gave out before the allotted
time, Mrs. Astor said TO Justine, the
old French woman who had lived with
them someyears: Sprinkle salt around
the wick, Justine, and it will light you
to bed. "-NeW York San.

OUR esteemed contemporary, the
Times, tells us that the Republicans are
about to celebrate the passage of the
Scott bill, and it has the ingenious cheek
to claim that measure as a Republican
work. We would just like to see the fol.
lowers of Harrison show some signs of
identifying themselves with this splen-
did chef douerre of Democratic states
manship. 1t would be something of the
same sort as the devil quoting Scripture,
or as the skeptic donning the livery of
heaven to serve his Satanic Majesty in.
Although it would be day after the
Fair, we would still welcome such de.
layed signs of repentance. What a
lame and halting celebration it would be,
as are all demonstrations in which the
heart cuts no part?

ANoTEwoRTHY circumstance of the pres.
ent campaign should not be overlooked, 1,
and that is that the workingman's vote,
Notwithstanding the clamor about high
wages and high protection, is substan-
TALLY with the Democratic party. A long
list of names of converts to the Republi-
can party is often paraded in Republican
journals. Very often these are suppositi-
tious and sometimes they are real. But
in nearly every instance they
are names Of employers. They are
rich men who desire, through
Republican class legislation to be-
become richer. The same impulse which
carries these men over to the Republican
party gives the Democracy ten
to one of their employees.
Fortunately too many safeguards
have been thrown around the voter of
late in the northern States to admit of
his being driven in focks to the polls, as
in the old days. We can well afford to
hand over few score of manufacturers
and political lawyers when we know
that, in return, we are getting the honest
handed sons Of toll in tremendous num-
bers. In Indiana especially this move
ment of Labor towards the Democratic
party is almost irresistible. 1t means
the defeat of Gen. Harrison by far
larger majority by Cleveland and Thur
man than he was defeated by Blue Jeans
Williams for Governor in 1876.

Waldron has the obese Briefly in the

The Cruiser Baltimore For
the New Navy.
NEwPHASE OF CHINESE QUESTION
Fires Crimes and Casualties From
Many Quarters of the Ameri-

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD. |
PHILADELPHIA, October 6.-At Phila-
delphia the United States cruiser Balti-
more was launched at Cramps shipyards
yesterday afternoon. The Baltimore is
the largest vessel constructed for what is
called the new navy. Secretary Whitney
is particularly interested in the Balti.
more. He has been frequent visitor at
Cramps shipyard to watch her progress,
and takes great pride in her. The Balti-
more has twin screws and will be the
first vessel so equipped in the navy. She
is 335 feet long over all, her beam is 49, 5
feet, her draught is 1875 feet and her dis
placement is 4,40O tons. The indicated
horsepower of her engines is 1890 tons
at natural draught and 1875 at forced
draught, and they are expected to drive
her along at the rate of nine
teen knots an hour. She will
carry two masts fitted with military
tops, and her crew will consist of 300
men. She has protective deck OF thick
steel plates, and under this down below
the water-line are placed the rudder and
steam steering-gear. The new cruiser
will be armed with a main battery OF
4 8-inch breech-loading rifled guns on
poop and forecastle and 6-inch rifed
guns in sponsors Is feet above water
There will also be a second battery of
rapid-fring 6-pounders, 6 Hotchkiss
revolver cannon and 4 Gatling guns
She will also carry torpedo launching
tubes or guns. In her appointments, the
Baltimore will be fitted up as flagship
There will be comfortable quarters for
the admiral, captain and other officers
and the crew. The vessel will be lighted
with two electric plants, so that all parts
will be brilliantly Illuminated by incan.

boilers IA feet and inches in diameter
The cylinders will be AZ, 80 and 90 inches
in diameter with 42-inch stroke, and
there will be three bladed screws about
l4.5 feet in diameter with 10000. horse
power. The Baltimore can make 456
knots in day, using 235 tons of coal.
Her bunker capacity Of $50 tons of coal
will enable her to 60 three days and a
half at full speed, covering in that time

or about the distance across the Atlantic
ocean in seven days and half.

TELEGRAPHIC dispatches the other day
told us that 100000 people heard Mr..
Blaine speak at the Poo Grounds in New
York. Here are the estimates made by
the New York papers: The Herald esti-
mates the Blaine crowd at $1,000, the
Morning Journal says $4,000, the World
says 10000, the Tribune says $4,000, the
Times says 5000 and the Sun says 10000.
at Detroit the estimate of the crowd was
wired at $4,000. The local papers put it
At 5000. AS to the Polo Grounds gather
ing the New York Times in all probability
is correct; and as to the Detroit throng
the local papers in all probability multi
ply the truth by two.

How Will the Labor Vote Go?

The labor vote naturally should be
Democratic. 1t generally does go that
way. The only exception of note is in
the large factories of few Eastern States
where the influence Of the employers is
often felt in no coaxing touches. There
are times, however, Of popular feeling
when the "silent" vote of the "unthink.
ing multitude" as kid-glove people term
it, overrides all obstacles and surprises
the bosses. Such a time the present
seems to be-, and such results may be
expected. The Philadelphia Times says
There are large factories in this city
where the number of Republican votes
could heretofore be safely estimated by
the number OF voters employed, in which
employers can give no assurance as to the
votes of their employees. They are read
ing the Presidents message; they are
studying the facts of semi-bar barian
Huns and Poles taking the places OF
American workingmen in highly pro-
tected industries they are counting the
excessive taxes they must pay for the
necessaries of life, and as they pay these
'ss~ASS Ou' "a oAOh ouOduily lCduCou wages,
they are studying why these taxes are
imposed upon them and how they can be
repealed. Instead of sending speakers,
managers and money from Pennsylvania
to New York, New Jersey, Connecticut
and Indiana, speakers, managers and
money will be needed in Pennsylvania to
save high war-tax Congressman and to
hold the State in the Republican column
by respectable majority. These are
the sober truths as to the present stu
alton in Pennsylvania, and those who
swagger around boasting of $4,000 to
100000 majority for Harrison will be
glad to carry the State by any majority
on election day.
Here is another straw of the same sort
An exchange says:
The Pittsburg PENN Labor Tribune

Iron and Steel Workers National Asso.
clation and the North American Coal
Miners Federation. Each union has a
page devoted to its particular interests.

vania at the present time have been i'm.
ported by high-tariff men to take the
place OF the sturdy German, Irish Welsh
and English workingmen who wanted

The HERALD elsewhere publishes in
ferviews with responsible citizens on the
new Charter which show that the enor.
nifty of the Republican apportionment is
fully appreciated and resented. 1t
would be spectacle for gods and men
to laugh over if great party should de-
iberately surrender its right to an equal
share with it's opponent in the govern
ment of a great city like Los Angeles.
There is plenty of time, should the pres
ent draft of Charter be defeat ed, to
mature another, which could be acted
upon at the coming session of the Legis-
lature. The work of the Board of Free
holders will not have been thrown away
by any means. The body of the pro-
jected Charter meets with general ap-
proval and the changes which fuller
discussion of the matter has shown to be
advisable could be made very quickly.
The most material Of these changes
would be the dropping Of the apportion-
ment clause.

THE SENATE.
Some Minor Matters Passed On In
Committee.

WASHINGTON, October 6.-The hearing
on the Labra claims before the Foreign
Relations Committee of the Senate,
which has been in progress for ten days,
is suspended, probably not to be resumed
till after election or until next session.
Conferees on the General Deficiency
bill have paved the way for an argee-
ment on all remaining points of
difference though action has not
yet become final. Provision to pay
the remainder of the years salary
to the family of Chief Justice Waite and
that to pay an extra years salary to the
widow of Lafayette E. Dancy, of the In
ternal Revenue Service, is to be struck
out. as is also the provision to extend the
laws of the United States over No-Man's
Land. The Senate is induced to recede
on the last named provision to save the
bill, it being understood that point of
emo quorum" will be raised by some in
the House if that remains in the bill. A
probable agreement will be reached be-
fore Mondays session begins, providing
for continuance of the work of con-
structing buildings for the Woman's
Christian Home in Salt Lake.

THE Iowa State Register, extensively
copied by Republican journals in Cali
fornia says:
The country doesn't want any book
keeping on the dark-lantern style which
seems to prevail at Washington. II there
was surplus of $30O,000,0OO when the
Democrats took charge in 1885, and if, as
Mr.. Hyatt says, there is no surplus now,
it is of the utmost importance that the
people know what has become of that
surplus. Give us a change of admins
tration and the books will be opened,
and the people can find out the truth.
Evidently the Republican majority of
the Senate of the United States has got a
glimpse at the books for they say, in the
introduction to their tariff bill, that the
surplus, already large now, will in
evitably be much larger before remedial
legislation can take effect, and they pro-
ceed to reduce at the rate of $75, 900, 900
year.

A GREAT issue, whose Importance is
not yet realized in many quarters, is
growing up for California, and particu-
larly for Southern California. This Com
monwealth is pre-eminently the home OF
the vine. Its soil and sun and climatic
peculiarities mark it out as the region in
which the happiest results Of viniculture
and viticulture will be achieved. Coin
cidently with this benignant result of
nature, and as one would suppose, inde-
pendently of modern transcendental
ideas of Natures God, class are multi
plying in California who are to present
an extreme New England phase of civil
ization as governing the whole expert
ence of mankind in all ages; who, in
fine, would uproot the wine grape and
throw their fellows back upon water, COM
monty known as Adams ale, as the sole
recourse for those who are athirst.
The fanatics who represent the new
evangel Of imperfectly assimilated chyme
and chyle, and who have already ruined
Kansas and Iowa, have marked Cali
fornia out as the nAxt field for their
charming experiments. If they get con-
troll of the city of Los Angeles by cast
iron Charter, which would place the
Democrats forever in a minority in the
municipal government, they would make
their most harmful and fatal experiment
right in the home of the vine and the
orange As to all of which, with its &C.
companying rack and ruin, may God
forefend
