September next. This provoked much
discussion and opposition.
Cannon, OF illinois, said the reason
why the Committee on Appropriations
had reported against the bill was that
Congress had already passed a bill to
enable the Departments to make an
exhibit at Cincinnati, which was in the
same State as Columbus, and within a
few hours ride of that city and where an
Exposition was to be held at the same
time.
Henderson, of Iowa, offered an amend
ment appropriating $25O,O0O to aid the
Exposition to be held by the colored race
in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1SS9-90, under
the auspices of the Colored Workers.
Fair Association of America.
Warner offered an amendment appro-
priating $4,000 to enable the Depart
ments to be represented at the Kansas
City Exposition to be held in September
and October. Adopted.
The amendments offered by Messrs.
Wise and Henderson were also adopted.
The question then recurred on the
third reading of the bill as amended
and the yeas and nays were ordered and
resulted: Yeas, 6S; nays, 81. No quo

LAST evenings Express chuckles
over the provision in the new charter
which authorizes the city to exceed
the 81, 900, 600 limit of indebtedness in
favor of acquiring or establishing a
system of water works, and wants to
know why we have not answered its
assumption, that if this charter be
not ratified we shall lose the only op-
portunity we shall have to secure for
the city water system. We have
not answered it simply because it is
not true. There is ample time to get
up and submit charter which will
be acceptable to the people, and
the same water provision can be
placed in it. The Express talks as if
the Water Company's franchise was
on he eve Of expiring. 1t has yet six
or seven years to run, and no charter
would be framed in the meantime
without a provision enabling the city
to either acquire or create system of
water works to furnish the inhab-
itants Of Los Angeles with water. 1t
must be remembered that the waters
of the river belong to the city inalien-
ably.

ELECTION of United States Senators
by direct vote of the people is again
before Congress. This is an irrepres-
sible conflict. Beneath it lies funda-
mental law of right and truth. This
is government of the people, by the
people and for the people. The un-
derlying principle is that the people
are capable of self-government, of
managing their own affairs, and that
they can bs trusted with their own in
terests. The history of the first CEN
tury of this Republic, during which
time its principles have been
tested, evidences that the people
can be trusted far better
than can any select set of their
representatives, although such repre-
sentatives may have been fairly
chosen by the people. The more
widely corruption has to reach, the
less potent is the effect of its poison.
It is more difficult to reach a majority
of community than to reach body
composed Of one in several thousand
selected fer such community. Were
The Senate chosen by direct
vote Of the ,eople, there would
not be such a predominance Of
in that body. Pluto
Gratis would lot have such an over
whelming voice in its deliberations
rings, trusts and monopolies would
not be able to influence legislation as
they do under the present system.
The Presidency is an illustration. No
man whose connection with monopo-
lies and money was known uefore-
hand has ever been able to reach the
White House. For either party 10 put
forward such a man has been to in
vite defeat.

about commercial matters, and
should be treated as such. If We
have not given more for our privileges
under it, than they are worth, then it
should be ratified because it puts an
end to grievous disputes between the
two nations, which on many
occasions have brought us to
the edge Of war. Much hinges
on the practical workings OF
the transhipment clause. 1t is esti-
mated that the cost to an average
fishing smack will be $1l5. On this
point, it will be recalled, that Consul
General Phelan, of Halifax, wrote:
''It is admitted that the privilege
of transhipment would enable YES
sci TO make two or even three ad-
ditional trips year, and that at each
trip she should stock between 81, 900
and $5, 900. With section II of the
treaty of 1888 in his pocket the skip
per Of a bank fishing vessel need have
no fears OF the treaty of 1918, and will
not suffer for supplies We
have obtained nearly all we have con-
tended for and have surrendered
nothing. The fourteenth section gives
us decided advantages. believe all
except political fishermen will be sat-
istied with this treaty."

Our neighbor across the way, the
Times, recently editorially advocated
the restriction Of immigration, and in
the same column, in an article on
strikes, said: "The Strike is
un-American, and sooner or latel
it will have to CO." There
is significant connection be-
tween these two ideas to him who
reads between the lines. The Repub-
lican party has grown exclusive and
Pixleian in it's leanings, and with
its gloved hand ever strikes at the
liberties of the masses. Unlike the
Democratic party, which is "of the
people and for the people," the G. 0.
P. vaunts itself as the party Of wealth
and intelligence" AS the representa-
tive Of aggrandized and centralized
capital, of trusts and of monopolies,
which in their entirety constitute a
cruel and outrageous plutocracy, the
Republican party is never honestly in
sympathy with the great mass
II the people. 1t is but natural that
it should discriminate between the
native-born and the adopted citizen
when it is remembered that its early
adherents were recruited from the
Know-N Nothings and the Wings.
Hence its use of the term "un-Amer-
ican" to every effort Of the democrat
ic masses to better their condition, or
to preserve their personal rights as
guaranteed to them by the Republic.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-03-27

the Republic was made by the factory
girls in Lowell, Massachusetts. In
those days, the girls employed in the
factories were largely daughters of
native-born fathers, and those fathers
were largely Wings, the progenitors
Of the Republican party. IRA M.
Stewart, who did more than all others
to develop the method Of the strike in
the United States was staunch
Republican and a devout believer in
American institutions. Nine out of
ten of the great army of labor leaders
and reformers in the Union were once
ardent Republicans. Judge Dundy
defines legal strike as the quitting Of
work and quietly walking out be-
cause of a grievance. If this be Gun
American" what shall we do to be
saved?

Our highly esteemed metropolitan

Our highly esteemed metropolitan
conten porary, the San Francisco
Chronicle, does not like the idea of
calling things by their right name.
The objection is to denominating i'm
posts on goods tax. The duty levied
on internal products is rightly recog-
nized as tax. 1t is not direct tax,
to be sure; but it is none the less a
tax. Why not call impost duties
levied on foreign products introduced
into this country tax? There is no
way out of the proposition that the
consumer is mulcted in the amount
of such impost. 1t is tax
on the pockets OF consumers. When
it was tea which was under considera-
ton, and Boston harbor in colonial
days was the place, and the period
indicated was the time, it was easily
enough recognized that the duty was
tax on the consumer. Taxation is not
euphemistic term to be sure but we
are not searching for euphemisms, or
other figures of speech in this matter.
What We want to. get at is the
truth concerning this high protective
tariff question, and one of the best
ways to gain clear idea is to fully
understand the terms used in the
discussion. 1t is difficult to see why
import duties should not be consid-
cred tax. The term may not sound
we'll. There are many bad things
which seek to conceal their true in
wardness beneath just such
euph emisms.

CAN the opponents Of medium tariff
name any five consecutive years dur
ing the past forty years that wool sold
as high under high protective tariff
as it did under low tariff? After the
high protective tariff on wool was es-
tablished in 1867, the production OF
sheep and wool declined largely in
most of the wool-producing States.

Crawling Out of a Small Hole.

Il am usually very good at remembering
names," said Senator Davis, of Minnesota,
but did get stuck once and under the most
embarrassing circumstances 1 was sitting
in my office at st. Paul, when in came a man
whom was delighted to see and who was
delighted to see me. We had been raised as
boys together, had enlisted in the same COM
pany and served through the war together,
he being the lieutenant of the company of
which was captain. l knew him as well
as my own brother, and as we had not
met for many years was glad to give him a
genuine hearty welcome, but for the life of
me l couldn't think of his name He re-
mained with me all the morning and in
v1ted him to go to my house to stop. He
consented to do so, and as it approached din
ner time l commenced to grow very nervous
for, of course, would have to introduce him
to my family, and l couldn't ask my old
chum and comrade what his name was.
Finally l thought of funny expedient.
Getting pen and a sheet of paper told
him thought it would be good idea for us
to join in letter to another of our comrades
with whom we were both very intimate dur
ing the war. He approved the suggestion
and l wrote couple Of pages, telling our
friend how pleasant it was to meet again and
wishing that he was with u.s. Then signed
my name and passed the paper over to him.
Much to my relief, he signed his full name
and was saved from the impending mortifi-
cation. ."-Philadelph Times

hoped will strike it, but if it should not those

lonesome, at least, as his only companion

Where Cameron Began.

Ex-senator Henry G. Davis, of West Vir-
ginia, makes frequent trips to the capital
l saw him the other day on the floor OF the
senate chamber. He was evidently in the
best of spirits and was the center of an In
terested group of listeners. After he had
gone was told Of a dinner party given in
New York in 1889. Davis sat at one end Of
the table, Simon Cameron sat at the other,
and between them was Gen. Sherman: The
latter began a reminiscence of his early life
by saying:
"When was a lieutenant"-
"Come, now, Sherman, interrupted Davis,
''were you ever a ieutenantg'
"Yes, Davis" he replied, II was a lieuten-
ant about the time you were brakeman on
freight train"
"Well, boys" observed Cameron, II don't
suppose either of you ever cut cordwood for
living, as l did. New York Tribune.
