OF number OF Mongolians the other day
who took that route will prove a signifi-
cant warning. When the train on which
they were travelling reached the Ameri-
can boundary line, they were refused ad-
mittance, the Exclusion Act making no
provision for Chinese riding over into

country. Their case was submitted

nese laborers cannot come into the
country. They were out of it and the
door was closed against them by an i'm
perative statute. These particular Mon.
gols went into this trap innocently; and
it is impossible to see how they are going
to get out Of it. They have received a
lesson by which they themselves cannot
profit, but from which all travelling Mon
golians will be warned to stay within the
American limits.

There was not single bid-not one, and
yet the money was called for. We are
building an expensive Court House, and
stone, brick and mortar in lordly piles
do not go up in this work. a-day world
without the pecuniary wherewithal. Mr..
Hellman told the Board OF Supervisors
that if they would give him the differ
ence between four and half per cent
the interest called for on the bonds,
which run for twenty years-and seven
per cent. for one year he thought he
could place them. The Board acceded to
his terms, the bonds were placed, and
the Board secured their loan of 100000
for $1,000, instead of paying $1,000 a
year for twenty years, which would have
involved cost OF $50 900 to Los Angeles
county.
In this matter Mr.. Hellman seems to
us to have played the part of a good
citizen in supereminent degree. Any
one who supposes for moment that he
was influenced by the desire to grasp
paltry s., 500 neither knows the character
of the man nor the scale of his financial
operations. Such sum to a man who
handles millions is mere baubee.
There is sequel to this negotiating OF
the aforesaid 100000 which the cores
pondent OF the Times evidently knows
nothing about or he would have been
more discreet. The county advertised
the sale OF another 100000 worth of four
and a half per cent. bonds and there
has not, thus far, been single bid. The
Board of Supervisors again applied to
Mr.. Hellman to negotiate them after all
other propositions had failed, and that
gentleman, resentful at the imputation
really patriotic, declined to excite further
animadversion and would have nothing
to do with their negotiation.
Mr.. Davis's scribbling friend may not
know that Mr.. Hellman four years ago
converted some 100000 worth of Los
Angeles county bonds carrying seven per
cent. interest into into four and half per
cent bonds, thus saving the county fully
$150,000. Public spirited actions con.
tinued through years of such pronoun.
ced character, ought at least to exem pit the
President of the Far mers and Mer-
chants Bank from calumny.
The probability is extreme that judi
cious taxpayers would gladly see Mr.. |
Hellman take hold of this second issue of
100000 four and half per cent. county
bonds and negotiate them at total out
lay to the county Of $500.
So much for Mr.. Davis's and Colonel
Ban bury's silly scribbling friends.

Berlin Budget.

BERLIN, October 8. 9.-Continuous heavy
rains and snow are reported in various
parts OF Germany. Further floods are
feared. IN
DR.. Peters, the African explorer, had a
conference with Minister Bennin gsenIto-
day at Hanover, and decided to appeal
to the Reichstag on the ground that the
East Africa Company's charter promises
military help. The greater portion OF the
press agrees that German prestige in AZ
rica must be restored by energetic means
but only a few papers want action taken
on behalf of the East Africa Company.
The police have seized the remaining
copies of the October number of the
Deutsche Rundschau which contained the
extracts from the diary of the late EN-
peror Frederick. The Post says that
Prof. Gefeken has been transferred to

counsel, has lodged protest against the
attempt of his friends to plead that he
was not responsible for his actions.

That Old Eo0rback.

| Our esteemed morning contemporary
| from over the way, through lack of in.
spration or paucity Of invention, re.
turns to the ancient, very ancient chest.
nut, the Golden Club bugaboo. This
will-o'-the-wisp is followed from the
birth Of Mr.. Richard Golden until the
formulation of the Manchester school.
The startling information is set forth
that half score Of Democratic leaders
are members of the Golden Club, a
propagandist Of free trade. This is OF
no import, true or not. Probably there
is not travelled scholar OF thoughtful
politician OF prominence in the United
States who has been abroad who has not
recorded his name on the books of the
Golden Club. 1t is the resort of great
minds and is not less international"
in its spirit or intention than the Nine
teeAth Century Club OF New York. 1t
covers an entirely intellectual domain.
This new finding of an old mares nest
by our esteemed contemporary winds
up with this note of alarm:
There is no wonder that the English,
and the Golden Club in particular take
such deep interest in our pending elec-
ton. If English manufacturers could
raise 100000 to reward MIR. Richard
Golden, how much could they afford to
raise to elect Mr.. Cleveland? Millions
upon millions would be counted as moth
Ing for that end"
Mr.. Golden was rewarded away back
in lS46 by the English people for his ac-
tive share in bringing about repeal of
the obnoxious corn laws Our Consul at
Sheffield recently Investigated the charge
that the Golden Club was using money
in the United States for the propaganda
of free trade. The books of the Club
were opened to him, and he found that
not one dollar had been used for such
purpose. On the contrary, he found that
money had been sent from the United
States to support the Club, and that the
donors took in both Republicans and
Democrats, scholars, politicians, manu-.
facturers and students. Let the Golden
Club alone; it will harm no one.

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
The s'NO QuOrum,, Club Handled I'm
Threatening Manner.


I WASHINGTON, October 9.-In the House
| Taylor, OF Ohio, gave notice that he
would raise the point of no quorum dur
ing the rest of the session, whenever pos.
sible.
Burnes, of Missouri, obtained unani-
nous consent to report from the Commit
tee on Appropriations, the bill appropri-
| atiDg $5, 900 for the enforcement of the
Chinese Exclusion Act, which passed
| without debate.
When the Senate bill appropriating
| $75 900 to secure TO the Cherokee freed
men their portion of certain proceeds of
lands under the act of March 8, 1883,
Kilgore, of Texas, intimated that he
would raise the point of no quorum on
the bill. 81 will go farther" he said,
than the gentleman from Ohio; nothing
ought to pass except the Deficiency APP
preparation bill, and resolution to
adjourn sine de-"
While several members were laboring
with him to foiego his intended motion,
the bill passed.
Ihe conference report on the bill to
allow persons who have relinquished
homestead entries to make another entry
was also passed.
The Senate bill supplemental to the
act of February 8, 1887, providing for the
meeting OF the Presidential electors, etc. =,
was passed.
Mr.. Burnes, of Missouri submitted
the conference report on the General De-
ficiency Appropriation bill.
McKenna, of California, hoped the
report would be rejected, basing his
antagonism to it on the ground that the
bill contained an appropriation of $780,
600 for the Chinese indemnity. The bill
made the appropriation for humane
reasons. The President had recon-
mended on the ground of national honor.
The calendars of the House were groan-
ing with bills which should be passed for
humane reasons and for reasons befitting
the National honor. If justice were to
be done, it should first be done at home.
Vandever, of California, characterized
the Presidents message accompanying
his approval Of the Chinese Exclusion
bill as an apology to the Chinese Govern
ment for his act in approving it.
aa Burnes said that the State Department
was firmly of the opinion that the appro-
priation of $276,000 should be made as
an evidence of the willingness of the
Government to pay for damages for out
RACES upon citizens of a foreign country.
On agreement to the proposal the vote
stood "a to 5, and Dougherty, of Florida,
raised the point of no quorum and the
House adjourned.

come to the aid of the dying man. His
sympathies would go out to him, and he
would do everything in his power to al
leviate his suferings. The veteran was
beloved by the VILLAGERS for his kindness
of heart and for his extreme tender
ness to all who were in distress. The
frequency, however, with which the Sc
assassinations occurred in his immediate
vicinity excited suspicion. At last his
guilt was discovered. AS a man was
passing along the road short distan ce
from where the old soldier was seated
upon the bank of the stream, peasant
saw him raise his wooden leg and point
it at the passenger. simultaneously a
shot was heard, flash Of fame burst
out OF the aimed. wooden limb,
and the. passenger fell to the
ground, writhing in mortal ag-
ony. The murderer was seized, and
it was found that a musket barrel had
been inserted in the artificial limb, with
trigger which he could reach from his
pocket. Some seventeen men had met
their death from this homlcidal lunatic
before he was detected. OF course moth
ing but the mere delight of killing could
have been the motive in this case.
The Whitechapel murderer cannot for
ever escape detection. 1t may be after
careful and sagacious detective work, or
it may be by accident. But it seems
strange that the man has not already
been traced. He must live somewhere,
and there must be something in his
habits and movements that ought to
attract the attention and arouse the
suspicious of his neighbors. A good
round reward would set searching eyes
at work that would probably bring him
quicker to justice thau anything the
police or detectives can devise.

THE OLD BANDANA.
thurman Opens His Argument I'm
the Bell Telephone Gases.

| WASHINGTON, October 9.-In the Su.
preme Court to-day Judge Thurman
opened the argument on behalf of the
| United States in the case of the Govern.
ment against the Bell Telephone Com.
pany. Judge Thurman placed his cane
on table and drawing from his pocket
the familiar old bandana and snuff-box,
placed the latter on the table in front OF
him and began his argument. His voice
was low and husky at the start, but soon
gathered strength and remained clear
and strong to the close of his forty-min-
ute speech. His manner of speaking
was plain, simple and direct, and in his
| choice of words he used homely Anglo
Saxon, as intelligible to the laity present
as to the learned Justices themselves.
Standing erect, facing the Court, his
right hand holding his eyeglasses and
his left at the pocket of his trousers, he
spoke slowly and distinctly and with an
entire absence of oratorical flourish. He
| closed his argument at 10 minutes past ,
and left the court room a few minutes
later.
HISTORY OF THE BELL CASE.
The telephone cases under argument
grew out OF suit brought by Acting At
torney General jenkins in the Circuit
Court OF the United States for the Dis
trict OF Massachusetts, to have Cancelled
two patents granted Alexander Graham
Bell, as inventor of the telephone, on the
ground that his patents we're obtained
by fraud. The Bell Company entered
demurrer to this suit, in which they main
tanned, among other things, that in ab.
sence of any specific statute the United
States had no power to maintain bill in
equity to cancel the patent for an inven-
ton. The Circuit Court held that this
point was we'll taken, and furthermore
ruled that even were the Court not
to 60 to this extreme length, the demur-
rer must be sustained on the ground that
the main questions raised against the
validity OF Bells patents could be be ad-
vanced in an infringement suit, and that
the Attorney-General could not bring
suit to cancel patents on grounds which
constitute the defense in Infringement
cases. The case comes to the Supreme
Court on an appeal from this decision.
THURMAN's LINE OF ARGUMENT.
Judge Thurman in his argument said
the Bell Company conceded the Consti-
tutional right of the Government to enact
a statute giving the Attorney-General
power to bring suit to cancel patent,
but maintained that in the absence of
such statute the Attorney General had
no such power. Judge Thurman asserted
that no Congressional action was neces-
sary; that the Constitution gave ample
authority for the bringing of the suit, and
declared that Congress could not even by
express statute limit this power, for it
would therefore abrogate the Constitu-
ton. At the conclusion of his remarks
jeff Chandler addressed the Court and
was followed by Mr.. Storrow for the
Bell Company.

PROBABLE ADJOURNMENT.
Congress Likely to A djOurn Soon fO
the Session.

WASHINGTON, October 9.-An informal
conference of the Republican Senators
was held this morning to talk over the
general situation and more especially to
arrange the course of debate on the Tariff
bill. The results are meager owing to
the doubt everywhere entertained as to
whether quorum of the Senate can be
held in Washington should the tariff
debate be protracted beyond next week.
No action was taken in the conference and
no definite policy was sketched, but
there is reason to believe that if the Sen
ate finds itself for any length of time
without quorum, either an adjourn
ment sine die, or recess for several weeks
will be taken; therefore it now seems
probable that this session will practically
come to an end next, or early the week
after, and that the Tariff bill will be left
for final action after election day.

City and Township.
A Campaign of Malice-Unwarrant
able Attacks.

There is a gentleman named Davis
who is running against Hon. J. w. Ven
able for Supervisor in the Second Dis
trict. Mr.. Davis may be a very good
man but he has injudicious friends.
Some adherent of his occupies himself in
writing letters to the Times of this city,
abusing Mr.. Venable roundly, all of
which will have very little effect with peo-
pie Of sense. Mr.. Venable passes in this
community for one of the very most
useful citizens it contains. He is a man
of excellent judgment, high character
and knowledge of the needs of Los
Angeles county absolutely without a
parallel in the southern country. We
do not claim for the Democratic candi-
date in the Second Supervisoral District
that intellectually he surpasses many
other gentlemen who reside in the limits
Of the district he now represents and
seeks to represent again, but he has
lived there so long, he is so thoroughly
conversant with the wants Of his constitu
ents, he has such an aptitude for that
kind of work, and does it so thoroughly
to the benefit of all concerned, that it is
really favor which he confers on his
fellow-citizens by his arduous labors in
the Board Of Supervisors. The more
thoroughly any person who reads these
lines is acquainted with Los Angeles
county, its people and needs and with
Mr.. Venabla, the more instantly will
these deserved compliments be accepted
as the naked truth.
This Times's censor of men and things
does not confine himself to Mr.. Venable,
but plunges headlong into the fight over
the County Treasurership. This he might
properly do if he had done it in a proper
manner. He goes out of his way to drag
into the controversy Mr.. Isaias w. He'll
man, the President of the Farmers &
Merchants Bank of Los Angeles. Now,
as Mr.. Hellman is not running for County
Treasurer, any friend of Col. Banbury is
at least under the obligation of telling
the truth about him. Admitting that
the county funds are deposited in the
Farmers & Merchants Bank, the only
legitimate subject for inquiry is, as Mr..
Hellman is not making any fight in the
matter, whether they are as safe there as
elsewhere-a proposition which will be
generally conceded.
But in assailing Mr. Hellman this cor
respondent does not adhere to the line Of
truth. He holds that gentleman up as
having "cinched' the county in the
placing of $100, 900 worth of four and a
half per cent bonds which he negotiated
successfully at the request of the Board
of Supervisors of Los Angeles county.
The facts of that transaction are that
other bankers had been approached to
handle these bonds, and that they repre-
sented that in the present state of the
money market no bond at so low rate
of interest could be placed. Some of
them even went so far as to say that a
seven per cent. bond would more nearly
meet their views.
These bonds were advertised for
sale in conspicuous manner,
the date for opening the bids
being the 2Sth Of September.
