The Loss Of Captain FaIes.

RocKLAND, Nov. 2S. - The Courier
Gazette says: 1--WE doubt if more shock
ing bit of news could be received here than
that announcing the death of Captain A. N.
Fales, commander of the Higginson. The
schooner left here early Friday morning
with plaster from Hillsboro, N. s., for New
burg, N. Y. She had her summer sails, her
winter suit being now in the hands of the
sailmaker. No further particulars have
been received as we go to press. Captain
Fales was one of the finest of Rockland's
corps of master mariners, universally re-
spected and liked. He leaves two children.
a son and daughter, both under age.
'The two sailors lost are supposed to have
been strangers. The schooner was owned

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-Grand Army men
in this city seem to recognize the Importance
of the movement begun in indianapolis yes
terday and admit that split in the organz-
alton is inevitable. Joseph A. Joel, editor
of the Grand Army Gazette, says the move
ment will be national in extent. He says
the Democratic members always have been
treated as more or less lnterloperS In the
Grand Army. The order has always had
politics in it and the Republicans have al.
ways run it. The Democrats have been
ostracized, and treated as traitors, even
when they had been manned in battling for
the Union. The Democrats now propose to
form non-political, charitable organization
such as the Grand Army was originally in
tended to be. The new order will be called
by such name as "The Union Veteran AS
sociation' and all Union veterans will be
welcomed. II is expected that many Repub-
lican ex-soldicrs who feel that the Grand
Army has been run as a political machine
will join the new organization.

8. England is under a Free Trade
policy; Germany is very heavily pro-
tected; France is under a protective
policy, and Italy is very heavily pro-
tected. Russia is the most heavily pro-
tected nation in Europe, and there wages
are the lowest. China is under policy
of absolute exclusion and her laborers
get only few cents day. We do not
claim that protection is the direct or only
cause Of this. We wish to show that a
protective policy is not necessarily for the
benefit of labor. Mr.. Carnegie's love for
Mr.. Blaine would give color to the
suspicion that the protective policy
of the Republican party is not
meant to raise the wages of iron workers
to any alarming degree.
10. The net debt of the United
States is now somewhat more than
81 ,000. .000, 900; of this nearly one third is
redeemable in 1893. This cannot be ex-
now excepting at the option of
the holders of the bonds. What is left of
them at the date set for their redemption
will be amply provided for. The balance
of the public debt is not redeemable be-
fore 1907, excepting at the same option.

mands that the cowardly persecution be-
ing carried on against Chief Cuddy

that there is not word in the statements
of the ex-convict Cinnamon, whom
Cuddy's cowardly enemies are using for
their base purposes, connecting Cuddy
with anything wrong. "Buz, buz!" who

would like to see most searching
investigation made of all there is in that

and houses Of ill-fame. We should like
to know who pleaded for leniency tc
such institutions; who proposed to gather

pose-and, above all, what is known re-
garding the administration of the office
of the Police Commissioners prior to the

To enforce .frugality in public erpendi

FOR CONGRESS. SIXTH DISTRICT
HEEL h. TERRY, of Fresno.

Our evening Republican contemporary
last night had truly terrible arraign-
ment of the Democratic party, OF the
President, of Hon. S. M. White, OF Hon.
r. B. Terry and of the HERALD upon
their attitude upon the new Chinese
treaty. Itmakes that Convention out to
be something perfectly terrible. 1t may
be remembered that the recent Republi-
can State Convention at Sacramento did
the same thing in right heroic measure.
But they did not know that while they
were abusing said treaty in good set
terms, the Senate of the United
States, the Republican Senate,
had just ratified the treaty and
that every member OF said
Senate excepting two voted for its ratlti-
cation. IL we remember Alright, Mr..
Stanford whom this State Convention at
Sacramento so belauded, was one of those
who voted in the affirmative on this
treaty. If it is SO terrible a thing. will
our blundering contemporary tell us
why every Republican Senator except
ing two voted for it? AS to Ben Harri-
sons late and sudden conversion on the
Chinese question, it looks bit fishy.
1t looks much like Senator Sherman's as
sudden and as late conversion on the silver
question. 1t looks terribly like fish
ing for the votes OF Republican
suckers on the Pacific coast. Ben Harri-
son came much nearer expressing his
real sentiments when in 1882 in the SEN
ate he persistently voted in favor of all
sorts of privileges to the Chinese, than
he does now when he wants to catch
suckers votes. The Democratic party as
a party has been steadfast and consistent
in its opposition to Coolie labor on our
shores. The Republican party as a
party has been as persistent and
as steady in its efforts to let the Chinese
in, to bring them in, to smuggle them
in, to have them here by hook or by
crook. These are facts which the people
know, and the Republican party cannot
juggle the people out of this knowledge
by any death-bed repentance INDUCED in
in the face Of pending political struggle
in which the odds are so greatly in favor
of the Democratic candidates.

So long as half million labor seek
ers year pour into country whose total
industrial population is seventeen mil
lions an import tariff will not protect
labor. Unskilled labor suffers the most
severe strain, inasmuch as nearly all
these immigrants belong to this class.
When in the House of Representatives a
few years ago, and when under President
Arthur's Committee on Tariff Reform,
the iron masters appeared to plead
against reducing the imposts on that class
of goods, Mr.. A. S. Hewitt forced them
to acknowledge that while the duty on
imports of iron had been increased the
wages of the employees had been cut
down. 1t has been demonstrated that the
proprietors of the steel works in which
Mr.. Carnegie is large shareholder
reap profit of IS ,O00, 900 year from their
industry. Yet in spite of this and in the
face of $4,000, 900 miles of railroad built
in 1887, and as much building in 1888,
with prohibitory tariff on steel rails,
these mills attempted to reduce the scale
of wages which are already as low as a
family can exist on. 1t does not seem as
if labor got anything in the way of bene-
fit-as rule-from any tariff. Customs
revenues pay the Government about
$3.50, 100000 year. Of this woolen
manufactures pay nearly $27, 600, 900.
Cotton manufactures pay $l0,-
100000. In these two industries
there are engaged 10000 cotton
mill operatives and $4,000 woolen mill
operatives. The amount Of duty is
great. the number of hands is small.
Wool which employs less than half as
many hands as cotton pays three times as
much duty. But woolen mill operatives
are not better paid than those employed
in cotton mills. 1t does not appear that
labor reaps any great harvest of bene-
fit from the tariff.
7. Certainly, the price of wheat is
fixed by the demand in countries foreign
to us. The English market makes the
price of wheat. France cuts some fig
ure, as in good crop years that nation
sells the cereal, and in bad crop years
she is buyer. That is powerful factor
in this market. We are very heavy ex-
porters of nearly all cereals and cannot be
affected by the tariff on them.
s. The following table gives good
idea of the relative wages paid in the
countries referred to. We will take Sec
retary of State Evarts' report ON the
state of labor in Europe, based on reports
from United States Consuls, in 1879.
There is no later authenticated table of
this kind at hand, and as it is being
quoted and Endorsed by Republican mem
bers OF Congress in the current debate on

VIaoRoUs steps should be taken, and
ct once, to secure the registration OF
every Democratic voter in the county.
This desirable and necessary result will
not be reached as things are going now.
Citizens of foreign birth who took out
first papers two years ago must complete
their right to the franchise for the No.
vember election by taxing out their Sec
ond papers before the fourth day of next
month. Many do not know this, and
others will not take the trouble to do it
unless they are urged to do SO. Every
voter in the party should make it his
duty to make personal canvass among
his friends and in his neighborhood, to
see that no man loses his vote by negli-
gence or through ignorance. But more
than this must be done. The registra-
ton machinery Of this county is in the
hands of the enemy. Those who con-
troll have proven beyond question
their purpose and ability to use
the advantage in an unpatriotic, in a
narrowly partisan way, and to be utterly
unscrupulous in their methods OF pro-
cedure to do so. The conspiracy OF two
years ago should not be forgotten. The
attention of the Democratic County Cen
trail Committee is called to this matter.
Democratic deputy clerks for the express
purpose of seeing to registration should
be appointed at once. 1t should
be done to-day, if possible.
There should be at least one in every
voting precinct in the county. He should
be informed Of the laws and he should
give his entire attention to this duty.
Demand that this usual courtesy be
showed us, and that no Democrat be de-
prived Of his franchise by the chicanery
of the unscrupulous political ring who
control the registration bureau, and who
desire not only their party's success at
the polls, but who are out for reelection
and therefore have double interest in
suppressing the votes of their opponents.

WHEN the last Great Register of the
voters of Los Angeles county was print
ed two years ago the enrolment was
about $500. There is now going for
ward new registration of voters for the
next election, which takes place nearly
four months from now. At date there
are about $1,000 names on the books. 1t
is expected that the total enrolment
this year will reach as high figure as
$4,000. An increase of 6,200, or thirty
three and one-third per cent. over the last
registration means very large growth
