scourge has increased in force again. and
the new cases reported for the last
twenty-four hours number ninety.nine.
of which twenty-five were whites and
seyenty-four colored. There were ten
deaths. The total number of cases to
date is 2,725; total deaths, 264. The
mercury last night fell nearly to the frost
line. 1t is cool tonight, but frost before
the last of October would break the
record for the past sixteen years. The
Citizens Association to-day referred to
the Executive Committee the ques-
tion OF asking the people through
out the country to discontinue
their contributions. To date there
have been received here $236,S6 The
disbursements have been $74,478; leav.
ing balance on hand of 1852 ,639. The
demands of the INDECENT have steadily
grown from $40, 900 to $32, 900 per week,
but it is believed they will now decrease

BEARS AND BULLS.
The September wheat Bulge and
Some Of Its II eSults.

CHICAGO, October 1.-The excitement
on 'Change over the September wheat
deal ceased Saturday, only to be resumed
this morning. When the opening bell
tapped at 80 the failure of Frank
Clifton & Co., and s. G. Orr were an.
nounced, and this only added to the ex-
citement. The crowd began to lose their
heads because of the heavy covering in
December wheat. There was perfect
craze to buy. The advance for thirty
minutes was most remarkable, and there
is no telling where it would have ceased
had not Hutchinson eased the market by
liberal selling. S. G. Orr said his liabili-
ties are about $50 1000, and that his sus-
pension is due to to the failure of part of
his customers to respond to his calls for
margins. He said he would be able to
resume in day or two. From friends
of the other firm it was learned that it
was short about $4,000 bushels on Sep.
tember wheat, also on October lard.
Many retail bread dealers of this citv
have raised the price one cent per loaf,
on account Of the increased price OF wheat

BLAINE,S APPOINTMENTS.
They Come Very Near Proving Dis
AppOfn ntments TO Indiana.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, October lit is
authoritavely stated this evening by
members of the Indiana State ,Republi-
can Committee that the National Com
mittee has notified them that owing to
the demand for Mr.. Blaine in the East,
his appointments for Indiana would be
confined to two speeches, instead of five
as at first announced. Chairman Huston
in an interview with an Associated Press
correspondent tonight on the subject,
said the cancellation of three OF Mr..
Blaine's Indiana dates was great disap-
pointment to the State Committee and
would be disappointing to thousands of
Republicans throughout the State, who
have anticipated hearing Mr.. Blaine.
Later-The protest of Chairman Hus.
ton, of the State Committee, as to the
cancellation of Mr.. Blaine's appoint
ments in Indiana, evidently received re-
spectful consideration at the hands of the
National Committee, for telegram re-
ceived tonight is in effect an unquali-
fed rescindment of the notification linn
itiDg Mr.. Blaine's appointments in In

Obedient to the Trust.

BosToN, October 1.-The Bay State
Sugar Refinery, acting under orders from
the Sugar Trust headquarters in New
York, closed down Saturday night for
good, thus throwing out of employment
300 men. President Atkins of the Bay
State Sugar Company, when questioned,
sold: 81 do not regard it as a permanent
shut down. 1t is an economic business
arrangement. The demand for refined
sugars let's up usually about October 1st.
During November and December all the
sugar refineries cut down their melting.
The Bay State Company, being in the
Trust, is of course subjec6 to its orders,
and it is far easier and more economical
to shut down one refinery than for the
whole of them TO cut down partially.
All there is in the shutdown of the Bay
State Company may be summed up in a
few words: We reduce the production
of sugar to proportion with consump-
tion."

THERE are several rather amusing
features in the County Assessors ex-
hibit. The total is more than respecta.
BILE, even when the ten per cent. reduc-
ton obtained by the Messrs. Rowan and
Venable. Democratic members of the
Board of Supervisors, is taken into count.
Mr.. Mason rates our property, real and
personal, at the quite dignified total of
$1O7, 1872 1903. Notwithstanding these
stalwart figures he only succeeded in
finding SAG, ,O50 in money. We had an
idea that we were little more fore
handed in ready cash than such an ex-
hibit would indicate. But if We are hard
up for money that is simply nothing
when it comes to our paucity of bonds
and other securities. In State, county
and municipal bonds he only found the
paltry sum of $1,000. He nearly
equaled this in beehives, which figure
for 1882. This, in our opinion, goes to
show that it is the capitalist, rather than
the bee man, who improves each shining
hour. We come to the front with $165
worth of dogs and $4OO worth of birds,
while Angora goats are assessed at $50.
The great absence of local securities is
the most interesting feature of the
"demnition total" And yet it is fatter-
ing to this section, as it shows that our
bonds and debentures must undoubtedly
be in great demand abroad.

BASE BALL.
The Senators Work a Sharp Game
ON the HOOsters.


WASHINGTON, October 1.-The Hoosiers
lost the game to-day because Umpire
Powers stopped play in the ninth inning
on account of darkness. In the inning
named the visitors, through their hard
hitting and bad fielding on the part OF
the Senators, scored three runs. The
home players then began dilatory tactics
in order to have the score revert to what
it was at the close of the previous inning,
and were successful, darkness setting in
and preventing the finish of the ninth.

Because of this danger, am a Demo-

Democracy because it takes bonds on

ONE would think from the dulcet notes
piped by the Republican journals of San
Francisco that such Republican worthless
rs Higgins, Cannon, Chute, McCord and
Harrington had never been heard Of
Tragic and disgraceful indeed were the
scenes at the Republican primaries in
the City of the Golden Gate last week,
but they differed only in kind from those
which took place at the Republican
primaries in Los Angeles. The attempts
of the San Francisco Republican County
Committee and of the San Francisco Re-
publican newspapers to make the Demo-
cratic party responsible for these out
RACES were disgusting in the extreme.
For years past there has been war to the
knife amongst the Republican factions of
San Francisco, and this time it was the
knife to the hilt.

The spontaneity and enthusiasm with
which the Democrats last night ratified
the signing of the Scott Exclusion bill by
the President shows the fervor of the
Democratic sentiment on the Chinese
question. 1t is honest. hearty and un-
bounded. There is no lip service about
it. The bulk of the Democratic vote is
made up Of people who have to toll for a
living, and whose children have to earn
their bread by the sweat of their brows.
Small wonder that their joy should be
great as the glad news rings out that the
long and cruel competition with slave
Mongolian labor is surely if slowly draw
ing to close-that no longer the news
OF the arrival of shiploads Of Cinnamon
shall ring in their ears with damnable
iteration, and the Republican working
man will sympathize with his Democratic
brother and slip in his ballot to keep
company with his struggling partner in
toll. In this case as in many others it
will be found that ga fellow feeling
makes us wond'rous kind"

The Supervisors yesterday fixed the
rate for the county tax for Los An
geles county. On the 800 valuation the
State tax amounts to 5O.4 and the
county tax to 69.6 cents. The whole
sums up $1.2O; while, for the city
there will be reduction of 20 cents
for road tax, which leaves the
net impost on city property, for State and
county purposes one dollar. This
will yield a very large sum, and it is
heartily to be hoped that it will be wisely
employed. Great and substantial i'm
provements ought to be effected with the
right royal income which the Board of
Supervisors will control this year. If
business methods are adopted in the af-
fairs of the county, such splendid reve-
nues ought to give US good roads every-
where, with here and there boulevard
which, after a few years, would attract
the admiration of the world. It should
not be forgotten that all the world flocks
to Los Angeles, and we ought to be re-
sponsive to the situation!

The tremendous crowd at the Demo
cratic grand stand which last night rati-
fed President Cleveland's signing of the
Scott Exclusion bill demonstrated beyond
cavil the sympathy of the masses with
the Democracy in the contest for good
government and popular rights. The
lesson was most impressive one, and
was fully understood by the Republicans,
who saw the packed thousands and list
ened to the resounding cheers which
greeted the utterances of the Democratic
speakers.

afternoon on special train, which ran
to Harker Station, about forty miles

The Corporatton Beats the man.

PITTsBURG, Pa. October lin the State
Supreme Court to-day, Justice Green
handed down an opinion dismissing the
appeal of Jacob Reese, of Pittsburg in the
suit of the Bessemer Steel Company. The
action was brought by the Bessmer Steel
Company to compel Reese to transfer
certain patents involving the basis of the
process in the manufacture of steel. The
Court decreed that Reese must assign all
patents to the Bessemer Steel Company
for which the latter was to pay Reese
the sum of $51 900, The opinion is sus-
tanned. Mr.. Reese desired to introduce
these patents in the South, and the Bes-
semer Company wished to prevent their
use. Reese says that by the decision of
the Supreme Court he loses twenty or
thirty valuable patents, worth $4,000,

A Country of Typical High Protec-
tiOn.

Our esteemed morning contemporary,
the Tribune, publishes a dispatch from
San Francisco, describing the great
hegira of Mexican people into Texas and
the United States. We are astonished
that this high protection journal-devot-
ed as it is to war tariffs or tariffs of what
kind so ever so that only they be high,
higher, highest-should admit into its
columns telegram so derogatory to a
high protection country like Mexico.
The offence seems to be intensified by
the fact that it looks as i it had come
over the grapevine telegra III, a method
for the instant transmission of news
sometimes specially favored by the
Tribune. Probably no finer instance of
the blessed effects of protection
could be hit upon than Mexico.
The richest country in the world,
it is yet the poorest. But then
it possesses riches fineless in the shape
of probably the highest tariff on earth.
The Mexican officials show devotion to
the tariff which is positively touching in
its entirety and intensity. If Custom
house officer in that country, which so
exemplifes Harrisen's ideas of devotion
to high protection, thinks the tariff not
high enough, he Immediately raises it on
his own motion. He has even been
known to carry his devotion to an ab-
stract idea to the extent of piling on the
tariff until he absorbed the whole cargo
of foreign goods. The interesting feature
about the Mexican tariff system is that it
is by no means confined to ports of entry
He believes in the idea of enforcing the
payment of duties, and he often
exacts them in the most unexpected
places. A crossroads suits his
purpose Just as we'll as would port
crowded with the argosies of the world g
commerce. He is positively ideal in his
devotion to principle. The iron man
facturers of Pennsylvania are far less
honest than the interior Custom house
officers of Mexico. The former exact
their dues as inexorably as do the Mexi-
can officials sometimes uncourteously
denomihated highwaymen), but they do
not divide as equitably as do the latter
The Mexican distributes the usufruct of
his abstract devotion to principle, share
and share alike, amongst his COM
pafieros, while the Pennsylvania manu-
facturer leaves his employees out of the
count. Here is distinction with a diff
ference, and it is all in favor of the
Mexican.
AS high protection country Mexico is
undoubtedly entitled to go up head, and
our esteemed contemporary, the Tribune,
ought to be more discreet in future. If
the Mexicans, as result of their high
protection theories, in the abstract and
the concrete, are indeed crowding into the
United States, at least that organ of
high protection ought to keep it dark.

Prophetic of Peril to the Republic

Nearly twenty years ago great apos-
tie OF freedom for the people said: The
land OF England has ruled it for six hum
dred years. The corporations of America
mean to rule it in the same way and un-
less some power more radical than that
OF ordinary politics is found, will rule it
inevitably. l confess that the only fear
have in regard to Republican institu-
tions is whether, in our day, any ade-
quate remedy will be found for this in
coming flood of the power of incorporated
wealth. No statesman, no public man
yet has dared to defy it. Every man
that has met it has been crushed to pow
der; and the only hope of any effectual
grapple with it is by rousing the actual
masses, whose interests permanently lie
