The first to voice the fact that war
threatens Europe and England is quite un-
prepared to meet the contingencies likely to
arise was Lord Charles Beresford, Of the
navy. His statements were echoed by both
army and navy officers, and finally con
filmed by Lord Wolseley, the adjutant gen
eral, as also by the commander r-in-chief, the
Duke of Cambridge.
Wolseley having expressed himself very
forcibly at banquet, he was censured by
Lord Salisbury. Wolseley, replying Monday
evening in the house of lords, said he would
stand by his, Banquet speech, although he

Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-08-20

In Los ANGELES, the other day, a wool
buyer who is known all through Southern
California, made a bet that # the Mills
bill should pass the price of wool would
be higher one year from now than it's
current quotation. With tax of ten
cents pound on foreign wools, the price
of the California staple ranges to-day
from eight to ten cents a pound. 1t is
very hard to protect an interest into a
greater state of decrepitude than that.
Surely the situation cannot be changed
for the worse, for wool at such figures
can pay nobody. On the other hand,
such men as John H. Wise assert that
the importation of the long stapled for
eign wools, which are mixed with our
short stapled wools, will give such an
impetus to our wool manufactures as
will really improve the market for
California wool growers. The HERALD
thinks that Mr.. Wise knows what he is
talking about. The bet does not amount
to anything, because the Republican
Senate has made up its mind to defeat
all legislation on wool and the tariff gen.
orally. The Mills bill not going into
effect, the wager falls to the ground, thus
preventing an intelligent Democrat from
winning his money.

management this evening rendered Judge
Thurman special train for his trip from
Columbus to Toledo, en- route to Port
Huron, leaving this city at P. NJ. to-
morrow. Besides Judge Thurman there

stops will be made at the more import
ant stations between this city and Upper

Thurman to make brief speeches to the
crowds which will gather to see him as
the train passes through. At Upper
Sandusky the party will take supper
at p. NJ. The special will reach Toledo
at 9 P. M, where the party will be turned
over to the Port Huron Reception Com
mittee, and proceed to Port Huron Tues

IT is to be hoped that the proposition
for series of joint debates on the tariff
issue between Speaker Carlisle and Mr..
Blaine will be carried out. 1t would be
one of the most interestinl, and instruct.
i've episodes in our political annals.
Both are orators of the first eminence,
thoroughly posted in the matter at issue
of about eqaal standing in their respec'
tive parties and their joint efforts would
attract unprecedented crowds. Mr.
Blaine might perhaps claim the advant'
age in certain electrical and taking
delivery, but this would be more than
made up by the Speakers incisive and
resistless logic. 1t would be something
like the Hayne of Blaine to the Web.
ster of Carlisle. The immense audiences
who would listen to these debates would
be as nothing to the millions who would
read them. The telegraph advises us
that Mr.. Carlisle has consented to place
himself at the service of the Democratic
National Committee for such a purpose.
We heartily hope that Mr.. Blaine will
respond in kindred spirit. Nothing but
the famous debate between Douglas and
Lincoln, just before the war, would be
comparable to such an intellectual
tournament.

The Democratic county convention
which meets tomorrow has two para.
mount obligations resting upon it. The
first is to give the party good nominees
men known in the community for solid
worth. The second is to recognize the
country districts in their nominations.
All the respectable elements Of our popu-
lation ought to be represented on our
ticket. The citizen of foreign birth
should not be forgotten, amongst other
reasons, because he was so conspicuously
ignored by the Republicans. The fact
that the Republican ticket, as whole, is
specially weak, out to emphasize the
duty incumbent upon the Democracy to
give the people good one.

GRADUALLY, but surely, the Chinese
are surrounding the Plaza. "'Tis true,
tits pity; pity tits it's true" When the
handsome circle which is now beautifed
with blue grass parterres and rare
plants and graced with a sparkling
fountain was newly laid out,
Chinatown had only reached
the rear of the old adobe
on the corner formerly occupied by DIR.
Gelcich as dispensary. Now the in
vading host has got clear around the
south side of the Plaza as far as Bath
street. The old Olveras adobe
mansion is alive with Mongols.
When they shall have seized the
old Jones homestead, and crossed over
into the gore building at the Main and
Upper Main junction, the circuit will be
as nearly completed as it can be. The
pretty Plaza will then serve as a Chinese
lounging park, a resting place where
Mongolian fAneurs may take their otium
cum dignitate on moonlight nights. To
this base use will it come at last. If the
Plaza must be turned over to the pigtails
as an al fresco easement, we move that
the city waste no more money in embel-
fishing it.

GREAT anxiety is expressed in Repub-
lican circles about the forthcoming letter
of acceptance of President Cleveland.
Of one thing they may be assured, and
that is that, in the language Of the pro-
letariat, it will be "corker" when it
does come. No man since the days Of
General Jackson has had such knack
of hitting the popular idea between wind
and water as the present National Execu-
tive, who is getting ready just now to be
his own successor.

IT is matter of grave doubt as to
whether, after all, the Blaine circus will
help the Republican party. The echoes
from the country at large are not such as
to encourage our Republican brethren.
The Plumed Knights old-time devotion
to railway monopolists and the capitalist
class having as usual got the better Of
him, he has again got his party in hole
in his remarks about trusts. In this
matter he was either influenced by q
desire to antagonize Cleveland in every
thing-and Cleveland had placed him
self distinctively on record as opposed to
trusts-or he is at heart willing to see
Harrison defeated in a memorable way.
The old Latin aphorism ran that he who
does thing by another does it himself,
and Blaine is SO distinctly and unequivo-
cally the owner and keeper of Harrison
that the Republican candidate is obliged
to shoulder the responsibility Of his ut
terances. The Plumed Knight really
defeated himself in 1884 by accepting a
banquet rendered him by Jay Gould and
the other big money kings of Gotham.
If Harrison had at any time any chances
of election Blaine's injudicious advocacy
will destroy it.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
SAN Francisco, August 19.-The
First Congregational Church was crowd
ed with people tonight to witness the
memorial services in honor of the late
General Philip Sheridan, held under the
auspices OF the Grand Army of the Re-
public of this city. Every Grand Army
Post in the city was represented, and
almost the entire force of the Veteran
Guard, of California, in full uniform,
was present. The exercises were of an
interesting character. After music and
prayer by Rev. Robt. Nourse, of Wash
ington, D. c., General Howard, Presi-
dent of the evening, made the
opening remarks. The General
referred feelingly to the message
of President Cleveland to Congress, on
August 9th, informing that body that the
dead chieftain was at Nonquitt. There
was in Sheridan not only the impulsive
energy of Murat. but the power to make.
his own energy contagious; to Meade's
caution he added his daring enterprise !;
to Grants superb reticence, he gave
voice; to Thomas certainty of movement
he contributed celebrity land to Sherman's
unequalled strategy he pointed and led
to rapid execution. Short addresses
were also made by Edward s. Solomon,
H. G. Dibble and W. H. L. Barnes.

Doing This Week.


WASHINGTON, August 19.-It is prob
able that the Fisheries debate in the
Senate will be suspended on Monday for
the presentation of the conference report
on the Navy Appropriation bill. When
the treaty is disposed of it is to be fol-
lowed by the Washington Territory bill,
which has been for some time unfinished
business on the legislative calendar.
The bills to admit North Dakota and
Montana are next on the Republican
programme. During the week Senator
Wilson will seek an opportunity to speak
on the Jackson, Miss, election riots, and
Senator Chandler will make speech on
the Louisiana election.
The attendance of members in the
House has fallen off to the point where a
quorum can be obtained only with diff
Guilty, and single objection is usually
sufficient to defeat legislation. For this
reason little can be done this week be-
yond disposing of the appropriation bills.
The effort to pass the General Deficiency
Appropriation bill will be renewed to-
morrow or Tuesday. The conference
reports on the Army and Navy Appro-
priation bills are also ready for action,
and they will be followed by the con-
ference reports on the Supdry Civil APP
preparation bill.

The demand for the new State is en-
forced by other and convincing argu-
ments. Los Angeles county, for instance,
will this year be obliged to send up to
Sacramento some $780, 900, the county's
contribution to the expenses of the
State Government. Our County Assessor
has made the valuation here $107,-
600, 900, against $271 100000 of the city
and county of San Francisco. If San
Francisco and the Bay and central coun-
ties had been justly assessed We should
not be compelled to pay into the State
Treasuary more than $500, 900. Five hun
dred thousand dollars is large sum to
be compelled to pay for the privilege OF
being tagged on to State with which
we have nothing in common beyond a
name.
OF the eight hundred thousand dollars
which we shall be obliged to send up to
Sacramento this year we shall probably
receive back one hundred and fifty thou.

Fund. The remaining six hundred and
fifty thousand dollars will have left us

Our Republican contemporaries of Los
Angeles affect to derive a great deal of
amusement from the fact that Mr.. Brice,
the Chairman of the Democratic Cam
paign Committee, expresses confidence
in carrying Michigan, Minnesota, ILL
nois, Wisconsin and Iowa. The old
adage runs that they laugh best who
laugh last. There are powerful num-
ber of doubtful States this year, and
their number is increasing as the Repub-
lican obstructionists in the Senate and
elsewhere more and more clearly show
their hands. With their Labor, and
Greenback defections in Michigan, with
q fusion ticket which gives the Demo
Gratis eight of the Michigan electors, with
the strong tariff reform sentiment in
Minnesota, the Blue Law bedevilment o
the Republican party in Iowa, and the
Wholesale detection of the Germans
in Illinois and Wisconsin-and the
German element is great in both
of these last States and not inconsider
able in any of them-it is exceedingly
likely that Mr.. Brice knows what he is
talking about. In 1862 General Scott re.
ceived the electoral votes of only foul
States, and General Harrison is proving
himselfto be quite as poor talker as
Scott-if anything worse. 1t is about
time for great political upheaval in the
United States, and if the present election
shall develop one it will undoubtedly be
Democratic. Mr.. Brice thinks oul
chances are good in those States, but he
knows that We shall carry New York
New Jersey, Connecticut California and
the Solid South, and they will lane
Cleveland a second time in the White
House by majority of forty-nine. A
snug enough majority, that, without the
others.
