THERE is something very contempt
ible in the way the Republican press,
and such Republican orators and blovi-
ators as Governor Foraker, refer to Pres
ident Cleveland personally, especially
the references to his physique. That
well poised official, however, seems to
attach very little importance to the
yawps of the envenomed but feeble
crowd. At intervals, as in his letter to
the Tammany Society on the Fourth, he
re asserts, in a severe and dignifed way,
that devotion to the principles of popular
Democratic government which has made
him SO strong with the people irrespec-
tive of party. His latest protest against
the steadily accumulating surplus in the
national treasury which marks the ex.
tent to which the consumer is being spo-
lated upon by the manufacturers will
evoke an enthusiastic popular response
We want more money in circulation
even if it should involve a slight reduc-
ton of the tax which the Pennsylvania
iron barons, the Michigan and Oregon
lumber barons, and the Massachusetts
spinning barons exact from the people.

THERE is no question that California as
a whole is exceptionally prosperous this
year, although there are portions of the
State where the crops have been fail
ure. Never have there been better
opportunities for the investment Of money
than now, and never has there been a
movement of development and settle.
ment more generally dif'used or more
intelligently directed than now. Even
our mining industries show splendid
vitality. The promise of immigration
from the East this coming fall, winter
and spring has never been better, and
the fact that prices are on an approved
and conservative plane will undoubtedly
lead to heavy Eastern investments.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.T
SAN DIEGO, July 5.-The "Lr rline''
crossed the whistling buoy a,8 5 :0S
o'clock this morning, the "Aggie" crossed
at 5 30. The latter lost her topsail near
Point Pedro.
In an interview with Commodore
Spreckels, shortly after the yachts Gag
gle" and "Lurline" anchored here, he
said: "On this trip we had great deal
of wind the first twenty-four hours, but.
after that we had to depend more on sea-
manship than wind" The keeper Of the
log on the "Lurline" said: 1.-The first
twenty-four hours we logged 272 miles,.
The yacht was running like wolf.
She was winged out and it took
two of the crew at the wheel to keep her
course. After dark it blew gale of fifty
miles an hour at least, and the way we
went was caution. We had a heavy
following sea all Sunday night, and it
lifted us along. Next morning we were
off Monterey Bay, and the Aggie was
three-fourths of mile astern. We beat
the Aggie thirty-two minutes"
The new yacht, Charles G. White,
which left with them, had not arrived at
a late hour this afternoon.

THE HOUSE.
The Senate Land Grant Forfeiture
Bill Discussed.

WASHINGTON, July SIN the House
to-day jackson, of Pennsylvania, from
the Committee on Public Lands, reported
bill to authorize the establishment of q
land Office at Folsom, New Mexico.
Several important bills were reported
and referred, and the House then went
into Committee OF the Whole on the bill
for the settlement of the claims of the
State of Florida for expenses incurred in
suppressing Indian hostilities. The
morning hour having expired, the bill
went over without action, and Holman n
called up the Senate Land Grant Forfeit
ure bill, with the amendment made by
the House Committee, after which sub
stitute amendments we're offered as fol-
lows BY Stone, of Missouri, to declare
a complete forfeiture of the entire grant
where the road was not completed in
time; by Payson, of Illinois, representing
the minority of the committee, to confine
forfeitures to the lands opposite the por-
tions of the road not now completed.
Holman explained the nature of the
proposition before the House, coming
from the Committee, and ointed out
the difference in the effect between il
and the Senate bill. He said that the
Senate bill would declare forfeiture OF
5,627, ,436 acres, while the pending bill
would work forfeiture Of 54,323 1896
acres, subject to bona fde sales to set
tiers. He then went on at length to de-
fend the course of the Democratic party
in the matter of granting lands to rail-
roads.
Payson, Of Illinois, deprecated what be
described as Holman's long politi-
cal speech. After stating the

of that, could have suggested to the Re-
publican party to select ''Old Glory" as
a party emblem. That belongs to all Of
us. Belva Lockwood and even DIR.

mon with the rest of US. 1t is very
doubtful if even O'Donnell, however,
would put the stars and stripes to such
base use as making a pocket handker'
chief OF it. 1t should be stuck by Demo
Gratis, and by all An ericans of all names
in millions all over the land, as protest
against this usurpation on the part o.
the party which Stole the Presidency and

Pedagogues Coming.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 5.-The Exami-
ner's New York special says: This
evening seventy-three ladies and gentle
men left for trip to the Golden Gate.
The excursion party is under the auspices
of the Brooklyn Teachers Association.
They will 60 slowly, taking eleven days
in which to make the trip to San Fran
cisco. The pilgrims to the Golden Gate
during their tour across the continent,
stop over one day at Niagara Falls,
Chicago and Denver, respectively, and
two days at Maniton Springs. They will
also stop at Salt Lake City and Sacra-
meAto one day. They expect to return
along the first week in August.
Frank Aglar, Of St. Louis, No., will
start on Saturday next for San Francisco
with an excursion party Of one hundred
people. A special train Of eight Pullman

hundred teachers bound for the National
Convention. They are expected to

general rules which had governed
Congress in making grants, Payson de-
clared that the dicision of the Supreme
Conrt had affirmed the right of the rail-
road companies to 60 on with the con-
struction of their lines after the date
fixed in the granting acts, in the absence
of a prohibiting clause, and as fast as
their selections were made, to sell their
lands. He was weary OF waiting for
years for something to be done. Here
was an opportunity which should be
availed of. Since the last Congress the
Northern Pacific had constructed enough
road to cloud the title OF. 100000 acres
OF land, and the process would go on un-
less the House accepted the Senate bill.
McRae, of Arkansas--If the Senate, as
constituted now, refused to pass the total
forfeiture, the House should join the
issue and go to the country which would
elect senate to pass such bill.
Weaver, of Iowa, said the roads had
not complied with the terms of their
grants, and never would. The people
would be justified in reasserting their
rights. The first proposition in order
was Stones amendment to make the
forfeiture complete as to all lands where
the terms of grant had not been complied
with. ~
The amendment was rejected yeas go,
nays 104.
The question was then put on Parson's g
minority amendment (similar to the
Senate billy. The amendment was re-
ljected; yeas II, nays 92.-
The Committee substitute was then
adopted, and the question recurring on
the passage of the bill as amended, the
vote resulted, yeas 141, nays 12; nc
quorum.
The Senate bill appropriating $527, ,00(
for establishing seven new quarantine
stations was favorably reported to thu
House to-day by the Committee on Com
merce. Three OF these are on the Pacific
Coast. San Francisco gets $153,0OO
San Diego, $55, 900, and Port Townsend
$55 900.

in issue. Nor is it material whether or
no General Harrison is himself rich. He
is understood to be pretty we'll accoutred
with this worlds goods, as is his right.
The only thing which the American people
are interested in knowing is whether
General Harrison has been cheek-by-
jowl with the capitalists in all their ef-
forts to grind the face OF the poor wage
Garner; and whether he has, as far as be
could, so acted as to give Coolie labor
foothold in the United States. We have
no manner OF doubt that Old Tippecanoe
was poor man, or that he sympathized
with honest poverty. On The other hand,
considering the decisive majority by
which Blue Jean Williams defeated Har-
rison for Governor of Indiana in 1876 by
the aid of the Labor vote, we do not take
much stock in Gen. Benjamin's velvet
voiced references to the poverty of the
family. There is good deal of Oily Gam
mon about the head of the Republican
ticket. The year Of grace 1910 was very
good one for the Harrison family. The
Democratic party had been in power for
twelve years, and Andrew Jackson's hon
est and patriotic efforts to dissociate the
National treasury from private banking
institution endowed by the government
with special privileges had re-
suited in the capitalists wreaking
their vengeance on the people by
great panic. The remedy was hard
one, and the financial disasters which
followed its application showed how
necessary it was, but Martin Van Buren,
| was the victim as Harrison was the bene-
fciary of its first effects. No such favor
able conjuucture of circumstances awaits
the grandson. He is confronted by fou,
years of prosperity as the result of an
honest and patriotic Democratic admins
tration, and he will be made to realize
the painful fact that heredity in political
honors is not feature of the American
Republic. Not even his pathetic attempt
to make the old Whig ghost walk will
avail him in his hour Of need. In the
first place, it will refuse to walk. 1t is
dead and desires to stay dead. In the
second place the ghastly specter would
be greeted with howl of derision by the
voters, who believe in the living present
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-07-06

IT is wonderful the ease and grace
shown by the leaders Of the Republican
party in California in ignoring Gen. Har-
rison's Chinese record. There is nothing
SO monstrous that it cannot be swallowed
by your genuine partizan. But while
this is the case with the editors and ora
tors the case is far different with the
masses. These last resolutely decline to
allow the wool to be drawn over their
eyes. They insist upon holding the Re-
publican nominees up to their avowed
sentiments, and the defections from the
grand old party are very numerous in
consequence.

A WOLVERINE statesman has cut out a
big job for Jim Blaine. The Magnetic
Dynamo who failed to get there is to

States. That means all those common
wealths,-well except Kansas and Ohio,
Mr.. Blaine had better get back soon, OF

doubtfully his for him to give an un-
clcuded title to it. Mr.. Blaine has much

publican this year.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-07-06

The grandson of old Tippecanoe is not
great man, but there are signs about
him that he aims to be very cunning
politician. Assisted by a lot of invalided
old gentlemen who voted for Harrison in
1S40, he was able to give himself a fine
send-off at Indianapolis the other day.
In q certain smooth and mellifuous elo-
quence he reminds one of old Pecksniff.
He dwelt much upon the fact that the
only inheritance the Harrisons could ever
boast Of was good name, and he thus
made resonant bid on the poverty
dodge. Now, II is perfectly true that the
grandfather was q poor man, as was
doubtless his SON. That is not question
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-07-06

THE HERALD has heretofore noted the
fact that Mr.. Blaine, the great friend OF
labor, with his mouth, is now coaching
through Scotland with Mr.. Andrew Car
negie, the leading proprietor of the Edgar
Thompson Steel Works, located near
Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. Mr.. Carnegie
has Just rejoined his friends after having
precipitated strike in that large institu-
ton, by which wages were materially re-
duced. Carnegie, like Blaine, likes the
the Republican platform and is devoted
to the success of Harrison and Morton.
1t was of Mr.. Carnegie that Congressman
Scott said
"Oae of the members of the Edgar
Thompson Steel Works, Limited, admit
ted to me within the past month, within
two hundred feet Of where now stand,
that statement made by myself in the
fall of 1855 was correct-name-
L ly, that he drew out of the
company as dividends in one year the
sum of 81 100000, the equivalent of
$4,000 per day for 800 days in the year,
and this was but one member Of the firm,
with no statements OF the profits undi-
vided. No intelligent business man will
put the profits of this company at less
than $5 900, 900 in prosperous years, and
we will allow them to employ $500 wage
workers. Mr.. Scott referred to Carne-
gle, the man who likes the Repub-
lican platform. The gentleman at
tempts to deny this statement,
but he makes sad mess Of
it. He denies that they drew the money
out, but he admits that it was earned.
He says that the money earned has
mainly gone into new and improved
works to develop still further the re-
sources of this great Republic which is
but fine way OF saying that it has gone
to still further develop Mr.. Andrew Car
negie's fat bank account. He tells us
further that he gave away $780, 900 to
found three public libraries. OF course
this came out of the Edgar Thompson
son Steel Works."
1t is somewhat singular that the al
most invariable incident of this high
protection, which depresses business by
keeping an enormous surplus in the
Treasury at Washington, should keep
the workingman PROSTATE at the feet Of
the employer class. Nor is it at all
strange that these latter gentlemen raise
terrible howl about free trade when it
is proposed to go adjust the tariff as to
leave a hundred millions of dollars
yearly in the channels of business, to
give value to real estate and energize
speculation and enterprise, all of which
are the accompaniments of an abundant
money market. The game is too shallow
to win,

sown by Stone on Waters land. Stone
went to the field to head it and Waters
tried to make him stop. Young Stone
was shot by Waters, who then turned
upon Stones father. The latter fred at
Waters, who returned the fire. Waters
received two balls through the left arm,
one entered the left side, and another
ball pierced his head and killed him in

HoLLIsTER, July 5.-A terrible tragedy

miles from here. w. H. Stone, an old
farmer, was at work on some land which
was claimed by G. H. Waters, when the
latter rode up on horseback and a
quarrel followed. Hot words we're
passed and Waters drew revolver and
threatened to shoot Stone. Edward
Stone, son of old man Stone, jumped
between the men, when Waters fred two
shots, one striking young Stone in the
face and the other in the hip. Old man
Stone at once returned the fire and shot
Waters dead. Officers left for the scene
