BY THE way, what is the ''nigger" in
the HERALD woodpile in this matter Of
the charter? Evidently its real reason
for it's opposition is kept hidden. We
should like to see the darkey brought Out
and exhibited to the public gaze.-
Express.
Our esteemed evening contemporary
must have mind as Opaque as mud, If
it has not yet learned that the HERALD
antagonizes the New Charter because it
has been subordinated to the repre-
hensible object of delivering the govern
ment of this city, bound hand and foot,
over to the Republican party. The Re-
publican gerrymandering Of the wards is
the "nigger in the fence" of that instru-
ment, and even if in all other respects it
were acceptable. which it is not, that
partisan outrage ought to induce every
fair minded man to vote against it.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
CHICAGO, October ia CHASTITY dis
covery was made by couple of boys in
a deserted brickyard at the corner of
Thirty-third and Laurel streets this after
noon. They found an old soap box, and
opened it. The dead and decompoged
bodies of five babies lay side by side
within. The Thirty.fifth-street police
were notified, and the remains sent to
the Morgue. The bodies were examined
and found to be badly decomposed. Two
were males and the other three were
females. One of the males and one of
the females appeared to have lived about
two weeks, while the others had died
shortly after birth. A cursory examina-
ton revealed seeming fracture of the
skull in two places, but these were the
only marks of violence discovered. The
babies had probably been dead for about
ten days. No officers have been assigned
to work up the case, the reason given
being that there are none to spare, the
strike necessitating temporary aban-
donment Of all detective work. The no.
lice OF the TEirty-fifth street district are
OF the opinion that the babies came from
a "baby.farm" or lying-in hospital.
None of these are known to exist in the
vicinity, and it is believed that the soap
box was carried to the brick yard from a
distance with pile of refuse, consid-
cradle amount of which has been de-
posted there.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, October 13.-Gover-
nor Hill and party arrived here this
morning, and were met at the depot by
several local clubs. The city was
crowded with visitors from the surround
ing counties. About 1900 people parti-
cipated in the street parade in the after
noon. The feature Of the parade was a
drum corps OF twenty young ladies wear
ing bandana dresses and helmets. The
mass meeting at the Rink convened
at 2 o'clock. The building was crowded
almost to suffocation. Governor Hill
received an ovation as he appeared on
platform. He spoke for an hour, first
going into review OF the National Ad-
ministration for the past three and a half
years and devoting the remainder of his
time to the tariff question, his arguments
being the same as used in his speeches
at Mitchell and Indianapolis yesterday.

LoGANsPoRT, Ind, October 13.-Gover-
nor Hill and party arrived this evening,
and were greeted by crowd of five
thousand people at the depot, including
many political marching clubs. The
Opera House, where the principal meet
ing OF the evening was held, was
crowded. Governor Hill spoke at
length upon the Tariff, the Mills bill
and the result of President Cleve-
lands administration. he concluded
his address by eulogistic reference to
President Cleveland which elected wild
applause, and when he promised that
the State of New York would cast her
electoral vote for the Democratic ticket
the applause was overwhelming. This

Reasons why President Cleveland
Should be Reelected.

He declared that one of the most bene.
fetal results of the last Presidential cleo
ton was the establishment of harmonious
relations between the people of all parts
of the country, especially between the
North and the South. The North never
had so good market in the South as
now, and the South has never had the
use of 30 much Northern capital as now.
Four more years of Cleveland's policy
would make it impossible for any politi-
cal party to secure power by appealing
to race prejudice. We consider this
alone sufficient reason for Cleveland s
reelection.
He charged the Republican leaders
with determined effort to revive the
race prejudice in the South, and with an
effort to alarm capital and discourage
investments in order to make it appear
that the country is not prosperous under
Democratic Administration. In this
they are partly successful, but the
country is prosperous nevertheless, and
in spite of the fact that it is embar-
rased by Republican revenue system
which has resulted in heavy over. taxa
ton.
The Democratic party would not con-
sent to reduce the revenue by increasing
the taxes on necessaries as pro-
posed by the Senate tariff bill. This
bill, he said, claimed reduction OF
$4,000, 600. Of this nearly $7S,OOO,-
coo reduction is claimed on sugar,
leaving only 100000 on all other
articles, of which nearly the whole
amount is claimed to result, not from a
reduction, but from an increase of duties.
This increase, through being prohibitory,
might reduce the revenue, but would not
reduce the cost of articles consumed by
the people: On the contrary, it would
increase it. What is needed now is a
judicious, substantial reduction of the
revenue. not by an increase of taxation,
but by a reduction of taxation upon the
necessaries of life and upon the materials
used in our industries.

We have not left our instructors; our

ceptions, have left us. To-day we find
the Democratic party led by man whom
we have learned to respect, and whose
administration, his enemies say, has
been wise and honest, and has conserved
the business interests of the country.
That party has not only pledged itself by
platform four years old, but has re-
newed the pledge then given by both
parties. and has actually and earnestly

correct the inequalities of the tariff and
to reduce the tax on necessities and raw

The present tariff law puts duty of
20 per cent. ad Ualorem on horses and
mules. The Senate bill just reported
changes this to 500 per head. By this
arrangement the value of the animal is
entirely ignored. The rich man who
buys his fine carriage horse across the
line in Canada, worth from four to five
hundred dollars, will have to pay but 500
duty, while the teamster, or farmer, or
canaler who buys horse or mule worth
seventy or eighty dollars will have to pay
the same sum. The Senate bill is a
genuine Republican measure. 1t dis
eliminates in favor of the rich and puts
the burden of taxation on the poor.

Our Hest Investment.

When Mr.. Harris Newmark, on bis
return from Europe, was interviewed by
HERALD reporter, he said that the one
thing Los Angeles wanted to attract
wealthy visitors from the East who now
60 to Europe and elsewhere, is q
hotel such as the one commenced
at the corner of Main and Tenth
streets. We believe that the Coro.
nado Hotel, next toe the Santa Fe
railroad, has done more for San Diego
than all her other attractions combined
Mr.. Newmark truly said that the class
OF people who spent their winters in
Europe and their summers at Saratoga,
Newport and Cape May, will refuse to
make heightened visit to any place, nc
matter how superior may be it's climate
or other attractions, unless they
can find at least equal ho-
tel accommodations to those they
are used to. They are men OF
wealth, are willing to spend their money
freely if they can get what they want,
and if they were assured of finding the
same elegant surroundings here that they
find in the resorts they now frequent,
they would rather make the trip across
the continent than to traverse the ocean.
There is no doubt grsat deal OF truth
in all this. We know that if the class to
which Mr.. Newmark a,ludes could be
induced to come here and be suited with
hotel accommodations, hey would be so
delighted with our cl mate, with our
floral beauties and our manifold
attractions OF situation, that large per-
centage of them would remain perma-
nently with us. There are at least two
or three hundred thousand people be-
longing to this wealthy class in the
United States. If we could induce one
third or even one-eighth of this class
eventually to turn their annual pilgrimage
to our city, just think for moment what
advantage would accrue to our city. All
kinds of business would feel che benefits
that would flow from their presence.
AS an investment, therefore, the cost
of the new hotel would be but as a few
drops in the bucket to the benefits that
Los Angeles would derive from the So
iourn of these very desirable visitors.
Our people could we'll afford to donate
the money which that great projected
carayansary will cost in order to bring
this desirable element to turn in our
direction. Every man who has an inter.
est in the prosperity of our city ought to
be willing to contribute according to his
means to push this great enterprise to an
early completion. 1t is public neces-
sity, and our people should see to it that
no time will be lost in carrying the great
project to a successful issue.

Under the Trees.

Under the trees, with the breezes blowing
Fresh from the pasture lands and leas-
Blowing and showing the secrets glowing
On rose faces: sweet Love sees
maiden stand, her bright eyes beaming
With deep dreams of ecstacies;
And controls her souls day dreaming,
Under the trees.
Under the trees the glad birds twitter
Songs that Love has made for Fate.
Under the trees! No temple filter
Formed for Love and my fair Kate.
Soft beside her flows the river,
Softly signs the summer breeze;
what good gift wilt thou, Love. give her,
Under the trees?
Under the trees, when night shall! greet her
Ana the stars swarm out like bees,
VIII, q! Love, her lover meet her?
Will he set her heart at ease?
Will their lips in kisses mingle?
All, who knows? When daylight fees
Love may join, or leave them single

THE SrREET-CAR STRIKE,
A Serious Dynamite Conspiracy jim
earthed by the Police.

OAAsAACu ~ tMe fO1ACcs
CHICAGO. October 13.-The cases of the
men arrested for putting dynamite on
the North Side car-tracks were continued
to the 10Th instant this morning. The
work of the detectives has resulted, it is
asserted, In unfolding serious dynamite
conspiracy, in which at least five per-
sons are implicated: Attorney Furth-
man said this morning that two mora
arrests would be made to-day, and when
these prisoners were brought in the DO
lice would probably tell the story of the
plots.
A FRUITLESS CONFERENCE.
The conference between the North
Side street car men and Mr.. Yerkes, this
afternoon, was fruitless as to definite re-
suits. The committee of the strikers re-
fused the scale of wages offered by
Yerkes and objected to the retention of
any new men IN the places of strikers.
President Luke Coyne, of the Western
Employees Associations, was confident
that no conclusion would be reached bv
the conference and consequently has
called an all night session Of the Assoc
citation, which will assemble at mid
night and which will take action on the
report of the afternoon conference. At
Western headquarters it was said that
Yerkes would be permitted to temporize
no longer and that probable the West
Side men would go out tomorrow
morning.
THE MIDNIGHT MEETING.
The general meeting Of the West side
employees began at about II 80, al
though number had not yet arrived,
President Coyne said that at midnight
the temper of the men seemed to be not
to strike on Sunday, but to run as usual,
pending Mr.. Yerkes' final decision in
the North Side matter. Should it be un-
favorable, the West Side lines probably
will be tied up Monday morning. The
men may yet decide, however, to stop
work Sunday. A decision will probably
not be reached until 8 or A. NJ,
Frank E. Magee, a former driver of
the North Side Company, was arrested
late this evening, charged with COM
pliclty IN the recently discovered dyna-
mite plot. The nature of the information
against him is unknown,

Converts to Democracy and Their
Reasons.

The number, character and standing
of representative men who have come
over from the Republican to the Demo
cratic party this Presidential year, sur
passes that of any previous campaign
experience. The Mugwumps, go called,
stand now where they stood in 1884, and
with augmented ranks will vote for
Cleveland. The common people" every
where are earnestly studying the atti.
tude of the two parties on the tariff-tax

the Mills bill is to increase the pur-
chasing power of money for the necessa.
ries of life, to augment the demand for
labor and to protect the industrial classes
from foreign competition, they are swell.
ing the ranks of the Democratic party
in every State.
Amongst the accessions from the higher
ranks of the Republican party none
surpass in intellectual vigor and bril-
liancy Colonel Thomas Wentworth Hig-
ginson, who has been nominated for
Congress in the Fifth Massachusetts
District. He is celebrated as an author,
has been an ardent Republican and was
one of the old Garrisonian Abolitionists.
Henry A. Robinson, who was the Re-
publican nominee for Congress in De-
troit, Mich, two years ago, has come out
with letter announcing his determine
ton to support the national Democratic
ticket. In the course of it he says:
"For many years have been aware of
the wicked and grevious burdens i'm
posed upon the laboring masses by the
protective (?) tariff system, and have
hoped that the good work of its reform
might be begun under the revision
promises that have been so freely in
obliged in by the Republican party. But
such hopes have been. in vain. The
promises OF that party to relieve tie peo-
pie from unjust Transformation it had
completed the cheerful service of reliey.
ing the rich and powerful from lust tax
ation-have been steadily violated, and
the elimination of Republican insincerity.
not to say hypocrisy, is found in the
Chicago platform of this wear. which nm.
qualifedly commits the party to protec-
ton as principle to be perpetuated in
American politics, and that committaI
has been re-echoed and emphasized in
Mr.. Harrison's letter of acceptance.
where he says that the protective system
is constitutional, wholesome and neces-
sary."
Mr.. Robinson's change of base creates
q stir in political circles. He has long
been popular leader among the labor
element, and continues to occupy a very
influential position among the working
men. 1t was this fact that led to his
nomination for Congress by the Repub-
icans two years ago.
Ashbel P. Fitch, the Republican Con-
gresham of New York who voted for the
Mills bill and has come out for Cleve.
land, received letter the other day
from Aspinwall Hodge congratulating
him on his course, averring the truth to
be. not that he and his fellows have aban-
doned the Republican party, but that it
has abandoned them. He further says !:
I'VE are tariff reformers, having learned
to be such by the Republican Tariff Com
mission of 1883, as well as by the re-
pested reports Of Republican Secretaries
