thought he threw off on Governor
Hill, whom they regarded as better
man and better Democrat. Taking
the correspondence as whole, it was an
amusing exemplifcation of the old adage,
"Many men, many minds" Speaking
metaphorically, what appeared to be
one mans meat was another mans poi
son. In immediate juxtaposition were
letters from men who thought there was
too much Civil Service in Mr.. Cleve-
lands administration, while with still
others there was not enough. "You
pays your money and you takes your
choice" Most of the letters have the
names and addresses of the senders ap.
pended to them. One heroic scourdrel
has the rugged honest dishonesty to ad-
NIT that four shining ten dollar bill 6
transferred his fealty from Cleveland to
Harrison. This worthy, however, fails
to sign his name, and the World offers a
liberal reward for his discovery. He
was doubtless one of the thousands who
came within the prism of Brother Lewis
barrel. On the whole, the letters are
both funny and unique.

THE New York World some time ago
sent out circulars intended to give the
seven thousand Democrats who voted
for Harrison instead OF Cleveland-or
who are supposed to have done so-an
opportunity of saying why they did it.
The issue of that journal of the 14th
instant contained eight columns of re-
plies. The World expressly called for
reasons, not arguments, and the replies
afford amusing reading. Many of the
respondents say that they failed to vote
for Cleveland because they did not be-
lieve that he was Democrat. With
others Mugwump support of Cleveland
sat too heavy on their stomachs, believ-
ing that to the victors belong the spoils.
One man would have none of
Cleveland because he believed him
and Bayard to be British
toadies, while another was disgruntled
because he thought that the President'e
retaliation message showed too much
anxiety to catch the votes of the Pope's
Irish. One correspondent opined that
Mr.. Cleveland was "too big for his
boots," another that he had developed
an amazing access of the "big head"
and still another of the same mind
opined that during his official career the
President had made "I, me, my
self" too prominent. One individual
thought that Mr.. Cleveland had been too
Indifferent to the opinions of the tried
and approved leaders of the Democratic

NEGRO spUTLA WS,
A Very severe Fight With Them in
Alabama.

NASHVILLE, December pa special
to the American from Montvallo, Ala,
says: Near this place last Thursday a
Negro boy made a criminal assault on a
white girl, but she escaped from him
before he accomplished his purpose.
Yesterday several Negroes were arrested
and when taken before the girl she iden-
tilted one of them as the party who as
saulted her. Last night crowd of
Negroes led by John White, colored
desperate, surrounded the house where
the constable and posse were guarding the
prison. White called one of the guards
out in the yard and demanded to see
the warrant on which they were holding
the Negro. The white man called out to
a companion in the House: Hand me
that ouble-barrelled warrant lying on
the bed" At this the Negroes opened
fire, which was promptly returned by
the whites, and about hundred shots
were exchanged. John White, the
leader of the Negroes, and several of his
men were wounded. The Negroes then
fed, taking the wounded with them.
No further trouble is anticipated.

cent visit of the Alameda delegation to
this city one of the visitors, while admit

marked that Oakland had twenty miles
more of paved streets than the Angelic

THE CENTENNIAL INAUGURATION
A Bill to Incorporate the military
Order of America" = 1t Will
Unite the "Blue and the Gray"

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD. |
WASHINGTON, December 22.-The Star
says an early vote upon the Senate Tariff
bill will probably change the plans of the
House Ways and Means Committee.
They did not expect the bill to come to
them until very late in the session. if at
all, and were calculating upon pigeon
holing it in committee. There was some
discomfort at this prospect among some
of the Southern men, representing dis
tricts that feel oppressed by the Internal
Revenue laws, and there is a growing
demand that something be done. Men
representing tobacco districts insist upon
the repeal of the tobacco tex. Besides,
the Democratic members Of the Ways
and Means Committee are not satisfied
with the way their colleagues in the
Senate are letting the bill 20 through
1t is probable, therefore, they will take
up the bill when it comes TO them and
prepare critical report upon it, with the
recommendation Of non concurrence
They will not quite decide as to their
course.
The same paper saya it may be def
nitely stated that the committee OF
Southern Republicans Of the House will
not present any name to Mr.. Harrison
for Cabinet appointment. There is
one thing they are gong to undertake e
that they think of vital i'm portance to the
party in the South, and that is to turn
down" the men who hang about Wash.

publicans. "What we want" said the
Star's informant, ''is to get men who car
be Republicans without ceasing to be
Southern men; who can advance our in
terests and advocate genuine Republican
principles, while retaining the respect oi
their people and remaining in sympathy

EVERYTHING is not lovely IN the Sem
ate tariff bill, as the following remarks
made by Senator Stanford in a late inter-
view show:
If the Republicans desire to reduce the
revenue they can make a sufficient re-
duction by taking off the internal revenue
tax on tobacco end whisky. 1t would
certainly be better for the country to re-
lieve these two domestic industries from
the burden of taxation than to destroy or
cripple the manufacture OF sugar.
Mr.. Stanford does not mince his words,
but announces that he will not support
the measure. He does not approve oi
the reduction Of the duty on oranges and
other California semi.tropical fruits, tc
inure to the benefit of the orchardists
and vineyardists of Spain, Italy, Mexico
the West Indies and the islands of the
Pacific. In approving the taking the
duty off whisky he stands squarely in
line with the Chicago platform on which
Mr.. Harrison WAS elected. As the Cali
fornia Senator is one of the most infuen.
tial Republicans in the United States, il
is by no means certain that the Re-
publican Senate bill will ever reach
the House. Should this prove to be the
case it would not be the first time this
railway magnate has flown the track oil
party and acted on his own individual
initiative. His voting for the confirma-
ton Of Mr.. Justice Lamar was conspic.
uous case in point.

The San Francisco Alta makes an ex-
haustive showing of building operations
in that city for the past year. The
aggregate of all buildings of all sorts and
classes and of all improvements made on
old buildings is sc. Use, ,220. For the past
nine years the aggregates are shown to
range at from $1,754, ,435 in 1880 to
,999 in 1885 in the Bay City.
1t may seem strange but the HERALD
has complete exhibit of building oper-
ations in Los Angeles for the past year
which just eclipses those of San Fran
cisco. The figure is $9,455 ,553 for the
Angelic City, fully fifty per cent. more
than her big rival can claim for the past
year, and 81, ,00O, 900 more than her best
performance in decade. The fact is

IT is amusing, in view of the exagger-
ated talk about the high price of lands
in Los Angeles county, to note the fig
ures asked for those offered for sale by
the San Fernando Land and Water Com
pany and Mr.. j. B. Lankershim. The
splendid wheat crops of that valley have
been q matter of notoriety for years past.
We have known instances of men who
have leased lands in that valley and who
have realized completeness thereby in
two or three years. Thirty and forty
sacks of barley to the acre have been
harvested on them year after year. Yet
they are scheduled at prices ranging from
$S5 an acre upwards, according to loca-
ton. The same thing holds true of other
portions of Los Angeles county.

New YORK, December 22.-The New

Forefathers' day by banquet in Del

guests, and every seat was occupied.
President Cornelius Bliss occupied the
chair, and among those present were:

man. J. Pierrepont Morgan, General
Horace Porter, Hon. Warner Miller,
Hons. w. L. Trenholm, Frank Hiscock
and John s. Wise, General Roger S.
Wayne and Conrad n. Jordan.
Gen. Sherman spoke of his love and
veneration for New England society.
He had overcome difficulties to attend
to-night's dinner, because it might be
the last time he would see his New
England friends. ga year hence" he
said. feeling I may be with the silent
majority"
mo one," Gen. Sherman continued,
"holds in higher veneration the memory
| OF our ancestors than l do. Your
ancestors and my ancestors have accom-
plished the high work laid out by the
Almighty. Their traits of character
were the foundation stones upon which
was built the empire and made solid as
the granite hills of New England"
| Mr.. Depew and others prolonged the
affair with speeches until late hour.
During his talk, Depew said: Gust now
New York is looking toward Indiana.
We say it publicly, despite the prestige
OF one or two of our politically aspiring
friends, that We expect two seats out of
seven in the new Cabinet. OF course,
with the forbearance of the New England
race we will possibly be contented if we
wake up some morning and find our
stocking empty. In 1880 law was en-
acted to the effect that every citizen who
was elected or appointed to public office
and refused to accept it was to be pub
licly denounced. The same law has con-
tinued with this age, and just now will
wager Benjamin Harrison would give all
he is or expects to be worth if that law
was never passed.

| PHILADELPHIA, December 23.-Fore-
fathers day was celebrated by New
Englanders here. Chief Justice Fuller
responded to the toast, "New England
in the Supreme Court" A letter from
Hon. w. E. Gladstone was read, in
which the writer said he joined those
present at the dinner in wishing God
speed in the purpose for which the
society was established.

THERE is no excuse for the condition
of some of our principal crossings during
the present storm. 1t seems to have
been the rule, instead of the exception,
to omit storm drains leading to the
sewers at the intersections of streets that
have been paved. The result is that the
water during such storm as we are now
having accumulates as it progresses,
until it becomes small river by the
time it reaches Spring and Main streets.
No street should be accepted by the city
unless storm-drains connecting with the
sewers have been put in at the crossings.

Democrat special from Meridian, Miss,
says that the report of renewal Of the

believed. however, that at least three
negroes have been killed to date and
that Maury and other negroes connected
with the riot have been run in at some
point in the mountains and are surround

people and others connected with the
search are particularly careful not to
permit any news to "get outside the

been told $4,000 was the price of Knott.
But he had heard nothing further. He
had inquiry for Knott's price coming
from Nashville, but would prefer to sell
to Haggin, as the horse would probably
not then come West next season. Come
to-Taw, though much inferior to Knott,
would probably be his entry for the Ken
