ss Won Can Bet Your Life There's
Going to be a BOOm.',

So says song somewhat well known
here at present. A San Francisco paper
has this to say:
It may be OF interest 70 know that
from December 1, 1887, to July 80, 1883,
the State of California made net gain
in the number of its Postoffices OF seven
ty-fve. The county which made the
most gain in this respect was Los Ange-
les, the net number of new offices being
nineteen. San Diego comes next with a
gain of seven. Oddly enough, Siskiyou
and San Bernardino are next, each with
five. Monterey, Butte and Ventura each
gain three. The remainder Of the seven
ty-fve new offices are distributed gener-
ally throughout the State, some counties
gaining one and others two. These fig
ures show general development OF the
State and a rapidly increasing popula'
ton. Since January l, 1888, eight offices
in this State have become Presidential,
and but one office has been relegated to
the fourth class. The eight new Presi.
Dental offices are: Cloverdale, National
City, Ontario, Orange, San Jacinto, Santa
Monica, Selma, Sonoma.
If the above is analyzed we find that
forty-fve of the seventy offices are
fully accounted for, and that forty ol
these are in the lower end of the State
All the eight new Presidential offices are
in this end of the State, excepting one ir
Sonoma. The list complete would show
that half the thirty new offices no
specified above, are south of line
drawn across the State due east and wes
from Monterey Bay.
The above showing is only one of many
facts which 60 to establish the assertions
made in regard to the phenomena
growth of South California. From al
sources the most absolute confirmation O
this fact comes. Four years ago the
total vote cast in San Diego county
was less than two thousand; in Los An
geles it was only little more than ter
thousand. This year our neighbor to the
south will astonish the world by casting
seven or eight thousand votes, and Lo:
Angeles county will probably have or
her Great Register thirty thousanc
names of electors.
In all this astonishing growth our OWL
imperial county easily takes the lead
Los Angeles gets nineteen new post
offices in six months, cut of seventy-fvt
in the entire State, and this county ha'
two out of the eight raised to the dignity
of Presidential offices. The only othel
county which gets two of these is Sar
Diego. San Bernariino gets one, max
ing five out of eight in the three extreme
southern counties.

Too MUCH comfort should not be taken
by our Republican friends over their
success in Vermont. The Green Noun
tain State has not been claimed as any
thing but very surely Republican. If
our friends crow too loudly over this cap
ture of their Holland by its own people,
we will have to refer them to Tennessee
and Arkansas. Other States away down
South in Dixie have manifested their alle-
gience to our party as of yore. What too
sanguine Republicans would do well to
keep their eyes on is what Mr.. Blaine said
when he first reached home. The greatest
statesman ought to be able to form a
pretty close opinion as to the result. Do
our enthusiastic friends recall his prognos-
tications? "Mr. Cleveland will have the
solid South. General Harrison will carry
all the States got four years ago. Mr..
Cleveland will carry his own State, New
York, and we will give General Harrison
Indiana. The nomination of Fiske makes
New Jersey Democratic, but we will carry
Connecticut and thus elect our ticket by
three votes" That is not an extrava-
giant claim to be sure. Note the result
in Vermont does not in the least disturb
the figures given by the greatest of all
Americans"

LUCK and Pluck Cleveland and Har-
rison. The former procured substi-
tute-that was luck the latter went him
self-that was pluck. That is the diff
ference in the two men.
So says Republican exchange with
more bitterness than brains. Cleveland
stayed at home and let his two brothers
go to the front with muskets on their
shoulders. He was the youngest. His
mother was widow. He had sisters
also to support. Later on in the war,
when the cloud was thicker, the day
darker and the exigency greater, Cleve-
land sent representative to the front,
and still he toiled on to provide bread
for the dependent household in the old
homestead. In spite of all this burden
the young man procured an education.
He studied law and began to practice it..
1t is not bad record. 1t is one on which
there is not spot Of dishonor. Without
seeking to discredit General Harrison as
a soldier, it may be remembered that the
war ragged on for two full years before he
saw fit to take any hand in it. When he
did, it seems to have required the temp
tation of commission to stir his patriot

WASHINGTON, September 5.-In the
Senate to-day, Stewart offered resolu-
tition for appointment of select COM
mittee TO investigate various matters
connected with the execution of the laws
as to public lands and timber depreda-
tions. Referred to the Committee on
Contingent expenses.
Sherman offered resolution (adopted)
requesting the President to inform the
Senate whether the recent treaty with
China and the amendments adopted by
the Senate had been ratified by the
Emperor of China. He added: "From
statements made in the debate
yesterday and day before, it is
manifestly due to the dignity ol
the Senate and to the regular and
orderly transaction of public affairs, that
the Senate should have this information
from the President before proceeding
further with the Chinese bill" He hoped
the resolution would be transmitted to
the President without delay.
Allison presented the conference report
on the Army Appropriation bill, showing
concurrence in all the amendments ex-
cept those with reference to fortification
etc. A new conference was ordered.
The Senate then proceeded to consid-
Grafton of the resolution heretofore
offered by Chandler, in relation to the
recent election in Louisiana, and was
addressed by Pasco.
THE CHINESE BILL STILL PENDING.
Upon the conclusion OF Senator Pasco's
remarks the Chinese Restriction bill was
taken up, aud Mr.. George addressed the
Senate. He opened by referring to the
criticisms of himself and other former
shareholders yesterday by Teller. He
(George) claimed the right OF free speech
and free discussion as an American Sena-
tor, and held that the fact OF his having
once been slave owner should be nc
impeachment of that right. Coming to
the question of Chinese immigration,
George declared that the Republican
party was responsible for the introduc-
ton of Chinese into this country by the
passage Of the act of 1862, which was
aimed merely at the Coolie trade, and
not at voluntary immigration.
Mitchell questioned the correctness oi
Georges construction of the act of 1862
that it was restrictive only of the Coolie
trade, and claimed that the object of the
law was to prevent the introduction OF
Coolies into the United States.
George quotedlargely from the speeches
Of distinguished Republicans in defense
of the admission and naturalization OF
Cinnamon, and said: There is the record
which your party has made. 1t stands
for itself, and it cannot be answered be-
fore the American people by the charge
that the Senator who brings it before
them has been Shareholder.
He was interrupted by long question
from Mitchell, but declined to be diverted
from the line OF his argument. A vote
was then taken and was unanimous, yeas
32, nays none. But as there was no quo
rum present, and no probability of get
ting one in good time, the Senate ad-
journed, leaving the Chinese bill undis-
posed Of.

Phelps) had alluded. The two messages
ought to stand together as the Siamese
twins of Presidential policy.
Belmont said the President had brave
ly and we'll reformed his duty to guard
and protect the rights of American citi-
zens and to maintain the dignity and
honor of the Nation. owe are not
Democrats nor Republicans when con-
fronted with the unfriendly aims of a
foreign power"
Davis, of Massachusetts, said the re-
jected treaty surrendered the New Eng
land fisherman naked to his enemies; it
was part and parcel of a free trade con-
spiracy which, inaugurated in the White
House, and continued in the House
of Representatives, sought to PROSTATE
American industry and impoverish and
degrade American labor. The utterances
of the President in opposition to the
entire policy OF his administration would
not command the confidence of the coun-
try. The Irish class would Indignantly
resent the idea that sham menace Of
opposition to Great Britain and Canada,
closing a career of uninterrupted and
shameful surrender and subservience to
both, was earnest, and thousands OF
them had desired t. cast their lot with
the Republican party.
JUSTICE TO AMERICAN FARMERS.
Scott said the United States asked for
nothing but what belonged to it by right
under its treaties, and it would accept
nothing less. He had secured the official
data to show the number of Canadian
and American cars, and the weight oil
their contents, transported in bond from
one point in the United States through
Canada to another point in the United
States, during the fiscal year, ended
June 30, 1887. The gross money values
of this transportation over Canadian
roads was at a low estimate, Sc 6,000, 900.
When it was considered tina the steel rails
over which this immense tonnage was
transported into Canada, were not sub
ject to duty of $17 ton, and that the
labor employed in its transportation paid
no taxes into our Treasury and did moi
consume the products of our farmers
the injustice to our wage-workers would
become apparent. For this injustice the
Republican party was responsible. Pend.
ing the conclusion OF Scott's remarks the
House adjourned.

Pen.Picture Of gen. Harrison.

Gen. Harrison is not an ordinarily
strong man. He is weakly built. His
height cannot be more than feet 5
inches. From his hips upward he has
the breadth, depth and circumference of
a six-footer. His arms, however, are an
exception. They are small and short.
His legs would answer to the same des-
cription. They are extremely short and
small. His feet are quite delic ate. The
result is rather an awkward carriage.
His walk is a slow shuttle and swing.
He looks top-heavy, and gains by con-
are broad and strong, but they stoop.
The head seems almost to sit on them
Immediately. His short chin-whiskers
entirely hide the neck. He need never,
for appearance sake, wear a col
lar. His hair and beard, gray
underneath and light-brown outside,
leave only room enough between the
two collar buttons for his eyes and fore
head. The face is not as we'll made as
the head. It is unsymmetrically broad,
and it is hollow in the centre. The
lower half grows outward and downward,
the other half upward and outward,
leaving his nose neutral in the valley be-
tween. The forehead bulges quite n0bly.
But the ewes are pale and weak. They
are not large and they squint somewhat.
The general effect of the face is not GER
tain and reassuring. Its wearer might
be bored and ready to say something
cynical or unpleasant when you had
closed the door behind you. do not
know of q face among all the Presidents
that I do not like better and feel surer of.
It reflects to the last degree the unrespon-
sive coldness of the man. It must be
very difficult to grow enthusiastic over
his presence simply. y.-[Indianapolis Cor.

The San Francisco Chronicle denies
that Blaine made an apology for trusts.
The Bay City paper also denies that Mr..
De Young said Harrison could not be
elected because of his Chinese record.
For all these denials the people know
that Mr.. Blaine defended the trusts, and
that Mr.. De Young made very vigorous
assault upon General Harrison's Chinese
record. The business of denying was
once tried in regard to the movements OF
the Sphere. Mr.. Calico said "It moves
for all that" The people, too, say: "Harri-
son is not sound on the Chinese ques-
ton, and Mr.. Blaine is not sound OH
trusts, and the Republican politicians
follow both Mr.. Blaine and Mr.. Harri-
son; but we will not follow either OF
them or their party"

Nlr. Stahlneckcr's Ire Ar0used-The
Retaliation Bill.


Retaliation Bill.
WASHINGTON, September 5.-On motion
OF Sayers, of Texas, the Senate amend
ments to the fortifcation bill was nom
concurred in. A conference was ordered.
Stahlnecker, of New York, rising to a
question of privilege, sent to the Clerks
desk and had read an article in a news
paper intimating that he was the men,
ber at whom the resolution OF inquiry,
adopted yesterday on motion of Kelly, OF
Pennsylvania, was aimed. If the resolu-
ton, he said, was aimed at him, he most
emphatically denounced it's charges as
false in every particular. He demanded
from the House speedy and searching
investigation. He will be perfectly will
ing to abide by the result, regardless of
party or personal feeling. Applause
Oates, of Alabama, created applause
by the introduction of resolution for the
final adjournment of Congress on the
Goth instant. Referred to the Committee
on Ways and Means.
The Committee on Appropriation re-
ported bill appropriating $780, 900 to
suppress infection in Interstate COM
merce of the United States. Refer
red to the Committee of the Whole.
The bill to limit the jurisdiction of the
United States District and Circuit Courts
was passed.
The bill providing for the exchange of
worn or mutilated subsidiary coin at
coinage value, for new unworn coin was
passed.
THE RETALIATION BILL.
The House resumed consideration of
the Retaliation bill at P. NJ, and was
addressed by Phelps, of New Jersey.
Phelps cheerfully conceded the Presi-
dent the additional power he asked for,
but regretted that there was no more
likelihood that he would use this power
than he would use the power given him
eighteen months ago. Nobody supposed
that the powers granted then were not
all that were necessary, until August 23d.
when the President went out alone and
shot the rocket of his Presidential message
into the clear and peaceful air. 1t was
so clear that the Senate chamber is still
echoing with the voices of Presidential
Senators urging their fellows to come
and buy the rights which Canada had re-
fused to give.
He charged the President with heap
ing favors on Canadian shippers by land
and sea, in order that they might COM
pete with their American rivals. The
President was now the President of the
Message, not the President of the Treaty.
He was no longer the Governor General
of Canada; he was the President of the
United States, and the past would be
forgiven.
In the course of his remarks, Phelps
referred to the definition made by
O'Neill, OF Missouri, that the Presidents
message was good campaign docu-
ment.
O'Neill-Don't you think it is?
Phelps-I do, and the gentleman from
Kentucky (McCreery) said that the mes
sage ought to kept with the Free Trade
McCreery-I did not say that that mes
sage should stand with the Free Trade
message, for deny that the President
has sent to Congress any Free Trade
message.
