The demand for cheaper coats seems
to me necessarily to involve a cheaper
man and woman under the coat Ben
jamin Harrison.
That is the philosophy Of the kid-glove
aristocracy of this era. 1t is an idea bor-
rowed from the aristocracy which every
where overrides Europe, and is thorough
ly un-American. In our Democratic Re-
publican country it is pretty generally
understood that the dearest men and the
dearest women very often dress in the
cheapest garments. It very often costs
less to buy the plain, honest man, or the
homely, true woman in home
spun or calico, than it does
to pay for the body and soul
OF the fellow who wears broadcloth
or the woman who dresses in silks and
satins. In spite OF all the boasted bene-
fits to labor Of high protection tariff,
there are too many of us who toll for
bread who are obliged to wear the cheap
est coats we can find, and to dress our
wives and daughters in the cheapest
calicoes in the market. Mr.. Harrison g
policy may make our labor very cheap as
his pets pay for it; but he cannot make us
cheap. We are American sovereigns,
and as such priceless, whatever our lot
may be.

A Beautiful City.

The City of Los Angeles is rapidly
assuming proportions as fair in their SYM
metry and as proud in their grandeur as
any city in the land can boast. On Fort
street the new City Hall, a structure
massive in its solid walls of sandstone
and brick, is lifting its graceful form sky
ward at steady pace. 1t will be an
ornament to the city when complete, as
it will be in few more months. On the
hill, at the corner of Temple and New
High streets, the County Court House is
being upreared with much dispatch.
Handsome as the city's building is. it is
totally eclipsed by the edifice the impe-
rial county of Los Angeles is build
ing. The foundations are all stone
and very massive. Fine blocks
OF beautiful an6 enduring granite
are used. The facings are of a
beautiful sandstone. These two public
buildings will cost this community when
finished and furnished not far from
$1,000,000. Then comes the United
States Government with it's building
which will 60 on the corner of Main and
Winston streets. Active preparations
are now afoot to begin this work. There
is no reason to doubt that it's foundations
are soon to be laid, and that work will be
pushed on it as rapidly as the appropri-
ations will permit of doing. Thus Los
Angeles will have three rare ornaments
in these three public buildings.
Now let all good Angelefios put their
shoulders with vigor to the wheel of pub
lie progress and give this Angelic city
such a hotel as her dignity demands,
as her tourist and other travel will justify,
and as the business sure to come will pay
interest on. The Main and Tenth street
hotel is already under way. 1t is great
enterprise and will cost more money
than any one or two Of our citizens can
afford to put into one venture. Such a
hotel will be in all respects a public
benefit. Every man in Los Angeles will
be directly benefited by it. Let all lend
a willing hand in this great work. The
end will justify this.

GUS question on the bill tomorrow at

GUS question on the bill tomorrow at 4
o'clock.
Scott then resumed the floor and con-
tinued his speech in support of the bill.
At the close Of yesterday he had intimat
ed that the Canadian railroads had by
reason of Article 20 of the treaty of 1871
received $6,00O,000 per year for the
transportation of American goods through
Canada to other portions of the United
States. In eighteen years they have
received $72, 100000, 65 per cent. OF this,
had it been expended in the United
States, would have gone to labor and 35
per cent. to capital. Under the treaty
SAC, 800, 900 had been taken away from
the workingmen of the country and
S25 200, 900 from the capitalists. The
treaty had given $72 100000 to Canada as
virtually as though it had been taken
out Of the Treasury. 1t had
been taken from the wage
workers, manufacturers and producers
of the country. On the other side of
the balance sheet was the $4,000, 900
which the United States had received
under the Alabama award. He had no
fear that the President would exercise
the powers conferred on him, except as a
last resort to protect the honor and in
terests of the American people. The Re-
publican Senate was responsible for the
present state Of affairs. He had heard
the remarks made in the Senate recently
by Senator Teller. criticising him for his
action in bringing forward the Chinese bill
and referring to him "as the man, who,
in no sense and under no circumstances,
has right to speak for American labor"
The Senator from Colorado when he came
to talk and vote was for the exclusion of
the Chinese when he came to act he was
always trying to find out how not to do it.
The Senator wanted to know
what right he (Scott) had to intro
duce the bill. The answer could
be found in yesterdays dispatches rela-
tive to the coming of Chinese into the
United States from British Columbia. 1t
was necessary for the House to put an
immediate stop to this immigration, and
the House did not require three days to
find whether it would pass bill to that
effect or not.
At the conclusion of scott's speech the
House adjourned.

So IN spite of Boss Quays remon-
strances the Republican Senate persists
in "tinkering with the tariff" The
greatest American" told Boss Quay to
HE him fast to the National Capital and
tell the little Americans in the Senate
they were making mess Of things by
'tinkering with the tariff" that the
issue raised by the famous Florence
letter was protection against "tariff
tinkering." But the Western Senators
replied that without some pretense Of
Tariff Reform they dare not 60 home and
face their people. Quay insisted that
unless the tinkering should come to an
end, the monopolists and trusts would
not put up particle of "pork"
for the campaign. The Michigan,
Iowa and Minnesota Solons re-
torted that unless they did tinker" !"
or pretend to do SO, their bread
was all dough. Well, the "tinkering"
goes on in this way: A Tariff Reform
bill will be presented which will reform
nothing. In the West Mr.. Allison and
his sort will insist that it is all sufficient
for the farmers and in tie East General
Hawley will explain to the putters up of
"pork" that it will not touch monopolies,
trusts, or any other interests of those
who are to supply the pork. But it will
not do. The people want real, genuine
reform-and they will have it. They are
not to be deceived in this matter.

WASHINGTON WAIFS.
The StOneman Retirement Bill.
Nevada Timber Cutters. Etc.

WASHINGTON, D. c., September g.
The bills was reported from the Senate
Committee on Military Affairs to-day,
authorizing the President to appoint
General George Stoneman, of California,
Colonel of Infantry in Army, on the re-
tired list.
Surgeon-General Hammond was sum-
moned to the White House this after
noon for conference with the President
and Secretary Fairchild in regard to
measures to aid the yellow fever sufferers
in Florida and prevent the spread of the
epidemic. The President expressed
great sympathy for the people, and in
structed the Surgeon General to do all
possible for their comfort, keeping in
view at the same time the safety of
others.
At a meeting OF the creditors of James
P. Bennett, the New York tea merchant,
his proposition to pay his creditors rs
cents on the dollar in six, twelve and
eighteen months, was accepted by the
creditors.
The Acting Secretary of the Interior
to-day sent to Congress the papers, ex-
cept such as should be withheld for the
purposes of the Justices, called for in
the resolution of Senator tewart,
asking upon what authority and
information the Commissioner of
the General Land Office based
his assertion that the amendment intro
duced by the Senate was really in the
interest of corporations and against the
interest of the settler. In one of the
communications the Commissioner says
no suit will be recommended in Nevada
except against two powerful and wealthy
corporations, and they will be based, not
upon informers' testimony. but by re-
ports of special agents of the Department.
He characterizes as groundless the COM
plant that the special agents act as spies
upon the people of Nevada, and says no
special agents were in Nevada for several
years, till they we're sent there to in
vestigate the facts in the cases of offers
of compromise received from the mining
companies for unlawful cutting of timber
and endorsed by Senator Stewart.
He reiterates his statement that
the proposed amendment would be un-
just to the settler, and quotes from the
report made by special agent to the
department to show that it is the big
smelling works and the men who burn
charcoal for living who are engaged
in this wholesale timber cutting, and
that the miners proper are opposed to it.

MINNESOTA Republicans are honest
but they are not bright. Their honesty
appears in the fact that their State plat
form takes direct and positive issue with
the National platform on the Tariff
Question. These Republicans OF the
Hyperborean regions point with pride to
the reform Tariff policy of Arthur Gar
field, Grant and the other shining ign1s
of their party. The dullness Oh .hese

serve the Goose I'm the Same Sauce

Consistency is jewell-because it is
so rarely found. Mr.. Police Captain
Loomis is charged with gross irregu
larities in office. The Mayor says he can
be found guilty, only on the testimony OF
reputable witnesses, and that it will re-
quire the best kind of testimony. When
charges against the Chief are to the fore
then the word OF convict Chinese, OF
bighbinders, of God knows what of in
fanny is good enough to cast him out Of
Office on. Then there is the statement
made by the editor OF the Tribune that
our good Mayor and two of his friends
two other enemies of Cuddy would have
been more to the point-called at the
office of that paper and sought surrepti-
ously to enlist the editorial pen in
this work of wrecking the Chief. The
testimony is of such character, or is
derived from such low sources, or for
Heaven knows what bad reason, that it
cannot be made public. 1t can be given
only to a few select spirits who will
agree to keep it secret. Now, our ex-
cellent Mayor is right. He wants 're-
sponsible witnesses" and ''the best
kind OF testimony" before he will pro-
ceed against Mr.. Captain Loomis. Let
him apply the same excellent rule to the
testimony against the Chief, and then
there will be no lingering suspicion that
he is after the Chiefs scalp, guilty or in
nocent, in order to crafty private NAL
ice, or to serve some private
end; while he will reverse the
rule and protect his pets whether
they be guilty or innocent. By all
means, in both cases, demand that
reputable witnesses" be produced and
that the "best kind of testimony" be
given. And let the star chamber COM
mission come out of its secret lurking
place; let these brave, impartial and
upright men do their whole duty. They
were appointed to investigate the doings
of the whole commission. Let them do
this. Much is said about certain volu-
minous testimony taken at the city's ex-
pense. 1t is said to be absolutely damna-
tory to some official or officials
so the Mayor gave the editor
of the Tribune to understand.
Let US have this testimony.
Give it to the public in its fullness. Let
us know who the guilty one is, and let
no guilty man escape. Come, MIR. May
or be responsive to the true manhood
the people think there is in you. Be
faithful to the great trust this people has
reposed in you. DO your whole duty,
and wherever the ofense is there let the

THE Republicans are beginning to real
ize that it is uphill work to run win
ming campaign by false assertion. Some
of them are getting ashamed of the Free
Trade cry. The people are not simple
enough to be bamboozled by so senseless
a claim. They know we'll enough
that the reduction of the war
tariff from an average of AZ
per cent. to 40, is anything but Free
Trade, and are justly suspicious OF a
party which thus persistently falsifies
the attitude of its opponent. The fact is
the Democrats have the argument in
this controversy, and the people are hav-
ing their eyes opened to the hollowness
of all the Republican assertions about
the tariff. The operatives in protected
industries know well enough how delu-
sive is the Republican cry about high
tariff securing high wages. That chest
nut has been so thoroughly exploded
that before the ides of November it will
be hooted from every Republican
stump. One by one the false
supports are being knocked from
under the Republican position, and
there will soon be nothing lett for the
g. o. p. to stand upon. The Free Trade
cry is smashed; the high wages delusion
is exposed; the home market business
is shown to be myth. But what is left
conspicuous before the eyes of the Ameri-
can people is the fact that war tariff in
time of peace has destroyed our foreign
commerce, contracted the field of labor,
made the rich richer and me poor poorer,
filed the country with tramps, and
closed the markets of the world to
American manufactures. The people OF
the United States are rapidly leaving all
these facts, and will give startling evil
dence OF their knowledge when they
come to vote. There is wakening up in
the Western States which portends
calamitous results to the war tariff party
in November.

LIE New York Herald SAWS: W

THE New York Herald says: "Where
the Republican party is weak beyond
repair is in the fact that it is the party of
monopolies, trusts, and the modern
methods by which the very poor are op-
pressed and swindled by the very rich.
Protection results in making a small
rich class richer every year and in max
ing the large poor class poorer. And if
we would know what protection does for
the laborer look at some OF those highly
protected countries in which Mr.. Blaine
has been sojourning."

DEPRESSION OF THE COUNTRY.
New York, September Ga refugee
from Gainesville, Fla, makes the follow
ing statement: While Jacksonville alone,
of a hundred Florida towns is battling
with the epidemic of yellow fever, the
whole State is suffering almost as badly
by the isolation of quarantine and the
stagnation OF business, and the cost to
her citizens will reach into the millions.
The first few days presented sights that
made the bravest respondent, the first
panic lasted about week and carried off
fully 10000 people, flying without means,
with scarcely change Of clothing, from
the scourge. Every county has its own
Board of Health, and quarantine officers
are stationed at every point where, any
kind of road enters the county lines.
No person can pass without satisfac-
tory bill of health. Some towns have as
many as seven quarantine stations on
the same line of road within the town or
county limits. Florida is charming
resort in winter time, but life among the
fragrant groves is not as delectable now
as then.

HowLERs whose sole stock in politics
is the cry, Free Trade" when forced to
acknowledge that the Mills bill is not
radical, end with the other senseless cry
'it is the entering WEDGE" A reduction
so moderate as that proposed by the
Mills bill cannot be twisted into any
shape which will look like Free Trade;
but these political parrots scream that it
will lead to that. How will it lead to
any thing? Who make our laws if the
people do not? If the Mills bill should
pass and go into operation to-day, two
years from next November new Con-
gress will be elected from every District
in every State in the Union. If the tariff
reduction does not work any injury
to our interests, if it reduces
the surplus as intended, and the country
prospers, the people will endorse the
policy pursued in it by returning friends
of that policy to power. Ii it works
well, if the country pfospers under it,,
and by reason Of reduction Of the Ma
tional debt, more revenue is being raised
again than is necessary, the people will
demand further reduction of the tariff,
a greater deliverance from the burden of
paying taxes, and they will get what
they want. If the country fails to -four.
ish for the next two years, and the peo-
pie think the Mills bill is responsible for

promptly retire the friends of that
