Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-08-31

THE Republican press of Los Angeles
after having demanded the instant de-
capitation of Chief OF Police Cuddy with
out the presentation of any evidence
whatsoever, and purely upon lot Of
windy en-pane statements of his personal
and political enemies, have at last beer
forced by the pressure of public senti
ment to admit that tie evidence upon
which it is proposed to depose the Chiei
should be presented. BY next Monday
the same force of an honest sentiment o1
fair play which the people entertain and
loudly express may lead them to think
that the Democratic Chief of Police ought
to have fair trial. The "bounce" pro,
gramme is so universally repudiated by
an intelligent public opinion that this
question has good show OF being decided
upon its merits.

LOW-DOWN JOURNALISM.
The "Times,s,, Method of Coercio

The "Times's'' Method of Coercion.
In yesterdays Times there is a wanton
attack upon Mrs. A. H. Watson. 1t says
that since that lady was appointed ma
tron of the police station she has never
darkened the door of that place in her
official capacity. 1t goes without saying
that this assertion is wilfully and mali
ciously false. Of course malignant and
mendacious attacks like this on a lady
who is exhausting herself in the service
OF the public have a motive. In this case
it is one of the meanest.
A few days ago one of the reporters of
the Times nosed out something in the
case of a Mrs. Hampstead, who had been
arrested for vagrancy and was afterwards
booked as being held as witness. The
standing order Of the Times to its re-
porters is to get everything they can of
a sensational character, and so eager are
they for matter of this mere
tricious kind that they are ready
to build a sensational story up.
on the slightest or no provocation.
The reporter, in this very article, with
job-type display headlines, gives away
the true policy of the Times. On discov-
er1ng the change In the charge on the
record book he says: GAS it was be-
lieved that there might be some sensa-
tional features connected with the case,
watch was kept" etc. Finding out that
Mrs. Watson knew something about the
case, the enterprising reporter speeded
to that lady's house and insisted on
knowing all about it. Mrs. Watson told
the reporter that there was nothing
for publication in connection with
the Incarceration of Mrs. Hemp
stead; that che was resting in
the county Jail before going out
to work, and fatty refused to give the
reporter permission to torment the poor
woman, who was trying to get rest.
This so exasperated the pencil-pusher
that he told Mrs. Watson he would make
it hot for her in the Times-that he
would burn her, and all that sort of
thing. Well, yesterday he got even by
maligning her in the character of police

it up for consideration on Saturday next.
The bill was ordered printed and recon-
mitted.
Holman submitted the conference re-
port on the bill for the sale Of the Fort
Wallace military reservation in Kansas.
Agreed to.
The Committee on the Oklahoma bill
then resumed its sitting. The entire af-
ternoon was consumed in an unsuccess-.
full effort to secure quorum to vote upon
the amendments offered, and without ae-
ton the Committee rose.
McCreary asked consent to have the
Retaliation bill made special order for
Monday instead OF Saturday, but O'Neil
objected on the ground that Monday was
suspension day. Adjourned.

Henry Wilson and Republican
Inconsistency.

The HERALD some time ago quoted
from speech delivered by James G.
Blaine in the House of Representatives
in 1868, advocating free lumber. Blaine
now pipes in a different key. As a
devotion to the existing tariff, just as it
stands, is supposed to be sure sign of
friendship to American labor, it of course
follows that lack OF such devotion
means hostility to the toiling many.
This affords very simple and easy ap-
piled test, and we now propose to apply
it to a few men whom the Republican
party has always reverenced as leaders.
In 1857, Henry Wilson of Massa-
chusetts, afterwards Republican Vice
President, said:
'The manufacturers make no war
upon the wool growers. They assume
''that the reduction of the duty on wool,
cor repeal of the duty altogether, will in
"fuse vigor into that dropping interest,
stimulate home production, and dimin-
'ish the importation of foreign woolen
manufactures, and afford steady and
increasing demand for American wool.
"Since the reduction of duties on raw
materials in England, since wool WAS
admitted free, her wooden manufactures
"have so increased, SO prospered,
'that the production of native wool
''has increased more than 100 per cent.
"The experience of England, France and
Belgium demonstrates the wisdom of
"that policy which makes the raw ma
"terial duty free. Let us profit by their
example" And again: eff our manu-
"factures are to increase, to keep pace
with the population and with the grow
cling wants of our people; if we are to
"have the control of the markets of our
Gown country ; if we are to meet with and
Compete with the manufacturers of Eng
'land and other nations ofWestern Europe
Sin the markets of the world, we must
"have our raw materials. duty free or at
"a mere nominal rate"
"They," the merchants of Massa-
"chusetts, fare for the reduction of the

THE COUNTY FUNDS.
General Hewitt Tells What Ht
Will do with Them.

General Hewitt Tells What He
Will do with Them.
When the Republican County Conven-
tion met in this city, one of the delegates
introduced resolution to the effect that
should the nominee of that party be
elected Treasurer, the county funds would
be distributed among the several banks
of the city. 1t was an unwise bid for
cheap popularity, and seems to have
been so regarded by the Convention, for
it was not reported back by the Commit
tee on Resolutions, and therefore, of
course, was not passed. At the
same time it is notable that
this resolution was read aloud in the
Convention, in this respect not following
the course of other resolutions. By vote
of the body in question, all resolutions
were ordered to be handed to the COM
mittee, to be reported back or squelched,
as should seem best. Why was the reg
ular order of business not followed in the
case of this resolution touching the
county funds? Was the violation of or
der for the purpose OF getting this matter
before the eyes of stockholders
in banks and the public gener-
ally? And was it rejected by
the committee. in order that if the lack
of wisdom in such course as was con-
templated were brought out, there would
be the ready retort, "Well, it did not
pass ?" That the proposition was unwise
is patent, for there are banks and banks,
Some are safe and some are not. No
general rule would be safe to follow. The
county funds should not be entrusted to
any but stable banks.
Then after the Democratic County Con-
vention had made the nominations of
that party the cry was raised in certain
quarters that the gentleman who
was named for Treasurer belonged
to Mr.. l. W. Hellman, and would
have the backing of the Farm.
ers and Merchants Bank with the
understanding that all the county funds
should be placed in the vaults of that in
stitution. One of the HERALD reporters

The Republican press Of Los Angeles
is forming itself into brass band. The
brass has all along been in stock. The

Action ON the Oklahoma Bill Re.

tafded by Absentees.
WASHINGTON, August 3O.-After routine
business the House went into Committee
of the Whole on the Oklahoma bill. The
pending amendment was that offered by
Anderson, of Iowa, providing that hon
orably discharged soldiers and sailors of
the war shall be permitted to enter
lands in the proposed Territory without
the payment of the purchase price pro-
vided for by the bill. The amendment
was rejected.
Holman, of Indiana, offered an amend
ment providing that no person shall be
authorized to enter lands who at the
time of applying to make such entry is
the owner of eighty acres of land in any
State or Territory, or who shall have
sold eighty acres or more within ninety
days before applying to make entry.
Defeated.
Holman made the point of no quorum.
but withdrew it on the assurance that
he would be permitted to offer his
amendment in the House and have an
aye and nay vote upon it.
The Committee rose informally to al
low McCreary, of Kentucky, to report
from the Committee on Foreign Affairs
the substitute for the Wilson Retaliation
bill, and he gave notice that he would ca l

Our esteemed contemporary, the Times,

still believes in the good old Republican
doctrine thata lie we'll stuck to is as good
as the truth. Having quoted Hon. j,
Marion Brooks as authority for one of its
lies, and being repudiated by Brooks, it
still returns like dog to his vomit. Well,
there is nothing out of the way in this.

Officers Willow and Hoff arrested a

Mackenzie and Lynch have been looking
up the mans record, and have probably
accumulated evidence enough to send
him to San Quentin. He has not been

appears that he also took from

q number of articles of wearing
apparel and bracelet. He disposed Of
most of his plunder to Mrs. Solomon, on
Upper Main street. His case came mn
before Justice Austin yesterday, and he
was sentenced to six months in the

to the interests of the workingman, for
in the same debate he used the following
language:
"On Sheffield hardware, such as cut.
"lery, edged tools, files and saws, some
protection is needed little longer, but
"for this 20 per cent. is ample, and upon
call other kinds 10 per cent, feel quite
'sure, is sufficient" The "little while"
has stretched out to thirty-one years /;
the duty to-day on cutlery is 80 per cent:
on files, from So to 65 per cent; and on
hardware, 80 per cent.
Mr.. Garfield, Mr.. Arthur, Mr.. McCul-
loch, Mr.. Sherman and Mr.. Allison have
all at various times expressed themselves
in similar fashion, and we shall at a
future day make some very instructive
quotations from the speeches of these
gentlemen. Even MIR. Blaine and Mr..
Hale have advocated free coal, free salt
and free lumber.
What wonder in view Of the utterances
on the part ofsuch Republican leaders as
Henry Wilson, James G. Blaine and
James A. Garfield, hordes of Republi-
cans are disguised with their party and
are converts to that tariff reform a de-
sire for which was so loudly proclaimed
by the Republican party in 1888 and in
their National platform in 1884? What
wonder that they should revolt in hun
dreds of thousands against the Republi-
can National platform of 1888, which pro-
claimed in favor of free whisky rather
than see the war tariff reduced one

COST OF FOREIGN MAILS.
The annual report of N. M. Bell, Su-
perintendent of Foreign Mails, shows that
the total cost of the service for the last
fiscal year was $400, ,076, of which amount
$26, ,649 was for the transportation of
mails of foreign origin. The total number
of pieces sent to foreign countries was

THAT NEW TARIFF BILL.
The Republican Senators held a con-
ference at Senator Edmund's residence
this evening from half-past seven to near
ly midnight. 1t was well attended and
Tariff was the only subject considered.
Senator Allison said to a group of re-
porters at midnight that the details of
the bill had been discussed, and har-
monious conclusion had been reached in
regard to every issue.
"You can say, gentlemen" he con-
tinued, "that we shall report the bill on
Monday or Tuesday week"
"Will you give us few important de-
tails"
"Well, not this evening. We shall
continue hearing diligently for the next
ten days, and then. if possible, report
the bill at once. That is all am at
liberty to say"
"What about the Presidents mes
sage?"
'The message was not referred to once
during the evening""
From other Senators it was learned
that lumber and salt remain unchanged;
that sugar is cut about one-half, and that
there is strong disposition to slightly
increase the duties on wool to correct
the inequalities OF the duties on wooden
manufactures.
