Hard Facts.

We assume that the people Of Los An
geles are not fond OF humbug, and the
HERALD acts accordingly. This city now
contains by all admission from seventy
five to eighty thousand inhabitants. We
have pursued an uninterrupted journal
istic career OF fourteen years in Los An
gees, and before that we were close
observer OF the place from San Diego,
when it did not embrace more than six
thousand inhabitants. We have no hest
tation in saying that there is not half as
much crime-whether Of gambling, bur
glary, assaults, assaults to murder, and
murder itself, with all the other criminal
enormities which figure on the roster,
now that it has seventy-fve or
eighty thousand people, as when
it possessed only beggardly
six thousand. Dismissing peremp-
torily all the CUFF OF the Republican press
about the infraction OF municipal law
here, we have no reserve in saying that
at no time within the past sixteen years,
when we first saw the city OF Los Ange-
les has there been less crime than now.
All old time Angelehos will recall the
time when burglaries and outrages
against the person OF the citizen were fla
grant to degree. Most OF them will re-
member when the safes OF II. Newmark
& Co. were cracked twice in succession
within period OF three or four weeks.
Three years ago six OF the most promi-
nent citizens of Los Angeles were sand
dubbed within a period of two months.
demonstrating was a daily incl
dent, and the vice of prostitution
was shameless and fragrant. To-day
Los Angeles is the most orderly city OF
its size in the United States. Crimes OF
violence are exceedingly rare, public
decency is enforced to an unusual
degree Having carefully collected our
advices to the latest moment, there are
only four gambling games that are even
suspected to be running here, and these
are all Chinese games, of course most
difficult OF detection. Where can this
true statement OF facts be invalidated? =?
While we have, perhaps, an insufficient
police force, considering the population
of the city, it is positively unrivaled in
its efficiency. Against this perfectly
true statement OF the facts we
have general allegations, without
basis. in fact, and only calculated
to discredit the fair fame Of
our Angelic City. What wonder that
the HERALD, which is interested
in building up its section, should
protest against unjust, Incorporate and
uncalled for arraignment of a Democratic
administration of our municipal affairs
which has replaced the chaos and con-
fusion, to say no more, Of a Republican
administration, represented by a Nc
Carthy, Skinner and Darcy, by the law
abiding, crime detecting, vigilant and at
all points efficient administration of
Cuddy? We simply state facts. Let
somebody answer them.
The HERALD, in common with all good
citizens, is in favor of the suppression Of
gambling. Gambling is suppressed.
Law and order are maintained. Such
being the case, we recognize the facts
and give honor to whom honor is due,
and claim the rightful status OF Los An
geles as law-abiding city.

THE California delegation to Chicago
hangs on to Blaine with more than the
traditional affection of death for dead
American citizen af African descent
Since the Republicans want Jim and the
Democrats desire him even more ar
IDENTIFY, why not trot him out? In the
name of all the Gods at once, why can't
this universal craving be satisfied in
some shape? The ladies love him and
children cry for him, and it would really
be distressing il he should be allowed to
cultivate that private station which is
thought in an especial manner to be the
post Of honor 80 far as he is concerned.

The spirituaii.tic Farce.

New YORK, June 14.--In the Diss de
Barr trial to-day, several believers in spir-
itualism testified to the wonderful me-
diumistic powers of the Madame, among
them being ex-Judge Nelson Cross, for
merly of the Court of Common
Pleas Of Cincinnati. Witness, in addi-
tion to seeing pictures come and receiv-
ing spirit writings, had been present at a
seance given by defendant when she
caused shower OF natural flowers in the
room. An expert in handwriting testi-
fed that the alleged communications
from st. Peter and Ben Franklin were
written in one hand, and that
the hand which had penned them
was Madames. He was shown some
notes which he declared were identical
with the others, but Titus Merritt took
the stand and testified that he (the
witness), not Madame, had written
them. This ended the testimony.
Argument will be heard tomorrow.

advanced 81 per box in this market dur
ing the past week. The reason alleged

bv amendments which were in a certain sense
forced upon Democratic managers in order
TO stifle opposition. Every such concession
lessons to some extent the zeal If not the num-
her of the supporters of the measure and
places them in a more inconsistent and indie
feasible position. They are compelled TO con-
slider, every day with increasing apprehension
how they will defend themselves with workers
engaged in the various industries which are
assailed in the presence of proof that other
industries were carefully spared. They VIII
have TO explain at every meeting OF their con-
stituents why they consented to give TO rice
and other Southern products protection Tour
times as great as that which they refused TO
some Northern products.
The Mills bill can be beaten in the House.
The number of Democratic members VINO
would be secretly glad to have 1t beaten is
gradually increasing. The Republican party
will appeal to the country with greater con-
fdence and success if it can point
to the defeat of another Democratic
marty measure devised and supported
bv Free Traders, as evidence that Re-
publican members can be, and that Democratic
members cannot be, trusted to defend the IN
terests of their constituents.

THE PROSPECT as TO THE TARIFF.


Practically the fiscal year has come to an
end, and the Mills Tariff bill has not been
passed. This was long ago anticipated by
| THE TRIBUNE, and the continuance Of bust
ness in its various departments with the
volume which now exists, is evidence that bust
ness men generally have not expected change
up to this time. Their calculations have been
| justified, though the depression resulting from
the hesitation of buyers has probably been
greater than most of them anticipated, so
that production and trade have in many cases
been continued at loss or without profit. IL
becomes exceedingly important now to Judge
whether the Mills bill, with or without mOdi-
Gcation, is likely TO pass at this session
at ALL
The Democratic supporters Of the measure
in the House have been claiming clear ma
jority for the bill just as it stands. They are
strengthened in that claim by the emphatic
Endorsement of the measure itself and OF the
principles upon which it is based by the
Democratic National Convention and by the
nomination of President Cleveland. Democrats
in Congress are apt to believe that their can
didate will be elected. Every one Of them
now sees that, if there is to be Democratic
President at all for the next four years, it
is to be President who will use his executive
patronage and favor TO reward those who help
and to punish those who oppose the policy he
has forced upon his party. IL would DC alb
surd to doubt that these considerations will
have weight with some members; certainly
they will weigh with all who have failed to
make their denomination and reelection sure
or who expect to fail in nomination or cleo
ton.
There is another side, now that the strength
Of popular opposition TO the measure begins
to be seen. The Republican party, with the
Oregon election to beckon it forward, will
make uncompromsing warfare on those who
help the free-tradc measure. and it is TO have
the sympathy and support of many Democrats,
it is evident, in districts where industries
assailed by the Mills bill are important
Members Of Congress who have hope of &c
nomination and reelection, whether by ono
party or the other, are likely to be strongly
influenced by this state of facts. The probable
loss by the antagonism of important interests
they can in some degree measure; the posi-
bility of gain by the support of Free Traders
or Mugwumps is necessarily vague. The
Presidents influence has been felt at Its
greatest from this time the influence OF con-
stituents will have increasing force.
The Mills bill hes been weakened already

chosen. In other words, representatives OF
the President, including, Of course, some Oh
the Independents,r practically asserted that
n,u,nby had given bonds for good behavior
during the canvass.
Well what is Murphy doing now? Acting
lilo the head of q canvass in which the aim
Is reform? No; he is endeavoring to force
Mr. Uerrick, of Albany, off the State Committee
because it is charged that HcrricS will use his
inauence to prevent the denomination oil
Governor Hill. In late issue OF his news
naper "the Troy Press" Mr.. Murphy inquiries !:
" Can Hertick take to the Democratic State
Convention twelve delegates from Albany
County who will be the instruments OF his
vindictiveness, ready to join with him in en-
danpering the success Of the National ticket
Inv putting Governor Hill aside?" There you
have il. The chairman Of the State Committee
takes tho ground that Hill must be
nominated or Cleveland need not hope for
re-election Hill must have the "moral sup
nortv of Cleveland and Cleveland must have
the support, not so moral, of Hill. Cleveland,
the 10y and pride of the fastidious Mugwumps,
is to hitch teams with the beneficiary Of the
Aqueduct Ring, who vetoed the High-Llcense
and Ballot-Reform bills.
Is it not an edifying spectacle for men who
hate humbug?

THE CLFVELAND-HILL DEAL.

It is becoming clearer every day that Grover
Cleveland and David Is. Hill have struck
hands and made bargain. The Hill Dem
ocrats are going 10 take off their coats for
Cleveland, reform and second term at Wash
ington, while the Cleveland Democrats are
going TO respond by hard work for Hill, spoils
and second term at Albany. And the bosses
who put I'D this neat little reciprocal racket
are doubtless going about to-day remarking,
with many a sly wink of their off eyes:
Jack Spratt could eat no fat.
His wife could eat no lean,
And so they both together
Did lick the platter clean.
Does anybody with a head on his shoulders
doubt that Cleveland and Hill intend thus to
play into each others hands? Look at the
facts. BY the vote of the friends of the Presi-
dent Edward Murphy, jr was made chairman
Of the State Committee The selection was
regarded by the general public as a strange
one, since Murphy is recognized as thorough
going machine politician and partisan Of
I'LL. BY way of dulling the edge of criticism
it was st ated that shortly before he was elected
to the craftsmanship Murphy had gone to
Washington and given Mr.. Cleveland certain
assurances which were regarded as salts
factory, and that il Murphy had withheld
these assurances he could not have been

unhappy experience has been published lar

another mcdium will find dupe simple enough
to deed away costly property in return 1or
daubs attributed to the ancient masters
To the credit Of the accused Aldermen or
to lack of energy in the District-Attorney $
Office rumor has it that the special Grand
Jury will bring in no indictments. Alderman
Fitzsimons, who has been active in pushing
the so-called "boodle' cases, has found out
that the life of man who sets out as a re-
former should be above suspicion. But IL is
not strange that those whose names have been
mentioned in connection with questionable
official acts should attempt to break the force
of the charges. 1t is easy to say, You're

The title of the Canadian official who bluntly
informed Captain Allen, of the American vessel
Bridgewater, that he would get nothing by laying
his case before the State Department at Washington
was Minister of Customs, and not Deputy Minister
of Justice, as previously stated in The TRIBUNE.
The official probably did not intend TO make an
offensive remark, but merely aimed to express o
judicial view of the hopeessness of any attempt on
the part of an American citizen whose rights had
not been recognized in Canada to prevail upon his
OWN Government to interest itself in his case.
You will get nothing there summed up in a
cynical way the officials own contempt for the
measure of protection an American citizen receives
from the State Department at Washington
