Mr. Weaver-It was inaugurated in
October. as I understand it that il
the present extended policy, but the
law was passed in 1864. and TO a linn

by all the Secretaries. The policy,
however, of dep, sitting the par value If
Al per cent bonds and ITO OH 4 per

therefore obtaining only gave the
banks from so to 90 per cent.

Mr.. Weaver-I know; but so were
the deposits under par very far below

The San Francisco Chronicle is trying
to keep the run Of Dennis Kearney's atti-
tude during the present campaign. 1t
has undertaken an impossible task.
When Cleveland's tariff message was
first sent to Congress, Dennis made Mont
gomery street sulphurous with his de-
nunciations of tariff reform and the Pres
ident. Now he has started out on the
other tack. We can only liken Dennis in
his tariff transformations to the great
leaders of the Republican party, all
of whom have heretofore solemnly
proclaimed for reform of the
tariff and are now eating their words.
Dennis is in fine company for him-that
of Blaine, Sherman, Henry Wilson, Al.
lison and the rest. He is as consistent
as any of them indeed he is as consist
ent as the editor Of the Chronicle, who de-
nounced Harrison for his prof Chinese
record before his nomination, but meekly
fell into the Republican traces as soon as
the mighty men of his party had snubbed
him by placing the Chinophile candi-
date in nomination. We don't see what
right De Young has to talk to Kearney
about inconsistency; nor do we see what
right Kearney has to talk about anything.
He is functus oficio.

Butler-You ought not to complain Of
that.

stands.
Butler-Right behind the Senator from
Oregon.
Mitchell-A good place to stand.
Butler-It gives me great pleasure to
follow him. If he leads me astray he
will be held responsible. The bill is an
open, fragrant violation of treaty between
this Government and the Government
with which it is on terms OF peace and
good will.
Mitchell-Does the Senator think that
the repeal of an existing law is a viola
ton of that law?
Butler-I think there is good deal of
politics in this whole business, and it is
not very seemly thing, either; but for
the fact that we are on the eve of Presi-
dental election, and that each party
wants to get the vote OF the Pacific Slope.
this scene would not be enacted in the
Senate.
Mitchell-The Senator is speaking
about his own party.
Teller-How about the House of Rep
resentatives passing this bill?
Butler-The Republican Senate pro.
posed to "see the House play and 60 ii
one better" That is the plain English
of it. You may call it a contravention,
repeal or the abrogation of an existing
treaty, but the plain English of it is thai
it is q violation of a treaty.
THE BILL GOES OVER.
Mitchell argued that Congress has as
much power to repeal treaty as it has
to repeal law that had been decided
by the Supreme Court. 1t occurred tc
him that if the Democratic House
thought it necessary to present bill
which repealed condition of treaty
it should have gone little further and
made the bill more effective by covering
the whole ground. He was thankful foi
SO much of a bill, however, and he
would not delay it's passage by offering
any amendment.
The debate was continued al
much length by Senator Gray
who deprecated the action of the
Senate in putting unnecessary amend
ments on the treaty which would have
fully accomplished the purpose of the
pending bill, and by Senators Teller
Vest, Dolph, Mitchell and George. The
latter made long argument to prove
that the rejection of the treaty was due
to the various measures to restrict Chi
nese immigration.
His arguments was criticised by
Mitchell, who declared that George il
asserting that the Republican party was
responsible for opening the door to Chi
nese immigration, was asserting his OWL
ignorance of what he was talking about
and that the door had heen opened by
the Democratic party of California.
AS Moran desired to speak on the bill
| it went over until tomorrow. Ad

DOCTORING RATES.
Few Concessions On the Trans.
continental Schedule.

CHICAGO, September The commit
tees appointed by the Western roads to
confer with representatives of the Trans
continental Association with a view to
securing notifications of the new tariffs
where they discriminate against Chicago,
held an all day session to-day, with
Chairman Leeds at the Office of Chair
man Midgley. A number of changes
were made in commodity rates 30 that on
all articles manufactured in Chicago no
higher rates will be charged on Pacific
Coast business than are charged from
New York. No concessions were made
to the Chicago jobbing trade, and
the rate on cotton piece goods, ETC., will
remain unchanged. The Western roads
will now put the rates into effect. The
Western roads gives as reason for con-
senting to the new schedule of rates,
that to ignore them would be simply to
cut off revenue without benefiting any
body. The Eastern roads still hold out
against tho proposed tariffs, taking the
grounds that to put them into effect
would be an open violation of the Inter-
state Commerce law. Chairman Blan-
chard to-day issued circular letter to
that effect. The letter was addressed
to the Freight Committee Of the Central
Traffic Association.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-09-04
1t Is Not True.

A circular published by Bay City
real estate firm gives publicity to this
story:
1t also says that in conversation with a
gentleman from Los Angeles few days
ago, he said: ga friend of mine pur-
chased three lots in the outskirts of
town less than year ago, paying for
them $500 each. 1 met him on the
street the day before left, and asked
him how his lots were. He told me
they were still in the same place and if
l wanted them 1 could have them for
$500. Our acquaintance was not in
clined to the belief that there had been
that much depreciation in the value Of
the property; on the contrary, he consid-
cred them cheap at the figure at which
they were offered him, but, although he
was fully able to buy them, he did not do
so." This demonstrates, however, the
unfortunate results of real estate excite
ment. There is no denying the fact that
an utter state of decentralization prevails
in nearly all parts OF Southern Califor-
mia, so far as real property is concerned,
where the cyclone of excitement recently
swept the country.
The source whence this comes reveals
sufficiently the animus underlying it..
Had not the metropolitan daily press re-
published the story it would not call for
serious consideration. But as that dig
nifty has been accorded the falsehood it
may be as we'll in answer to point out
the fact that the August sales of real
estate in this county aggregated $4,177,-
S47; for the eight months of the current
year to date the sales came to $4S, ,343 ,514
and still the good work goes bravely on
September opens with one hundred
and five transfers, suming up $19S,672,
and yesterday there went on record one
hundred and twenty sales, aggregating
$121 1862. 1t is, of course, understood
that in such brisk times as have ruled
here for the past three years, and
as are ruling now, schemers have got in
and put up jobs on the unwary. In some
cases the ''sucker" has been taken with
barehook, and thus the old saying that
fool and his money are soon parted,
has gained new significance. But there
is no depression in business hereabouts.
There is no shrinkage in values and no
trouble to sell desirable property at its
fair value. Let but some faint-hearted
fellow offer bit of real good property at
a shade less. than it's market price and it
is very soon picked up for cash.

tariff laws as will tend to check imports
of such articles as are produced by our
people, the production of which gives
employment TO our laborers, and release
from import duties those articles of for
eign production Except luxuries) the
like of which cannot be produced at
home. If there shall still remain a
larger revenue than is requisite for the
wants of the government, we favor the
entire repeal OF internal taxes rather
than the surrender of any part OF our
protective system at the joint behest OF
the whiskey trusts and the agents OF for
eign manufacturers.
Here is what any one would pronounce
to be clear and unequivocal declara-
ton that free whiskey was preferable to
any reduction whatsoever, however wise,
in the war tariff. 1t would be hard for
any one, however obtuse, to misconceive
the scope of this sweeping language. But
to get its just significance we prefer to
quote George William Curtis, in an
editorial article in Harper's Weekly OF
August 25th., who says, speaking of the
Whiskey plank:
The last words are for buncombe. The
declaration is that the National taxes on
whiskey should be repealed rather than
that any protective taxes upon the mos
necessary articles should be diminished
The platform does not propose free
whiskey as an independent measure. But
if, after freeing tobacco and increasing
duties to check the importation of articles
which are produced here, the revenue
should still exceed the wants OF the Gov
ernment, then the whiskey tax should be
repealed. This is the way in which the
matter has been generally stated. 1t i:
with a clear understanding OF the
purport of the platform that DIR
Cuyler declines to support it, ane
that DR.. Storrs, although supporting
protests. 1t is the same understanding
which has startled many OF the stronges
Republicans who are much more inter
ested in the temperance question than il
the tariff. The declaration is an illus
tration of the decadence of the part.
whose just boast was that it was a party
of moral ideas.
There can scarcely be any doubt, afte
the declarations OF Mr.. Blaine, the out
givings of the Chicago platform, and th'
criticisms of George William Curtis, tina
the Prohibition party has cause for un
usual activity. Our Republican friends
know to their cost that that party is ant
will continue to be unusually active, tt
the signal discontinue and disgruntle
ment OF their party.

Mr.. LOWELL says from his seat eve
have the power to expel the Chief OF
Police. Let us exercise that power"
These are brave words. They show
that there is power, whether
illegal or not, to carry out their intent.
We prefer to say there is no power to do
wrong. All are entitled to justice. When
wrong exists let the wrong be righted
but all impugned have rights. If Cuddy
is guilty, let the public see it. If he is
not, let the public see it too. 1t is not
right, it is not American, to convict a
man on one-sided testimony. Let the
guilty suffer; but the innocent must be
protected. We know nothing OF Cuddy IS
defense or of his detractors' attacks; but
the HERALD stands on the broad platform
of justice to every man. Thus far there
is nothing important proven. But Mr..
Lowell wants to GUST him anyway. That
is plainly the programme.

Forney, of Alabama, interrupted the
proceedings by calling up the conference
bill, but Townshend raised question of
consideration, and in his opposition to
the conference report, he was sustained
by Breckinridge, of Arkansas, who de-
sired an opportunity to call up the bill
for free cotton bagging. The House re-
fused to consider the conference report.
After more than an hour spent in secur-
ing quorum, Townshend's motion was
agreed to.
Next was unfinished business. A mo-

Payson, of Illinois, demanded second

The Real Whiskey Party.

Time was when the Democratic party
was supposed to do all the drinking in
the country and to supply all the terrible
examples which have brought moderate
drinking into disrepute. That was one Of
the old chestnuts of the party of God
and Morality, whose members were par
tial to beer by the keg and whiskey by
the jug, the latter taken behind the
door. 1t remained for the present cam
paign to show the true status Of the great
National parties on John Barleycorn, and
the truthful exhibit explains the renewed
and splendid energy of the Prohibition
party, which will this year, in New York,
New Jersey, Connecticut, Michigan, Cal
ifornia, Indiana, and possibly in half a
dozen other Commonwealths assure the
success of Cleveland and Thurman. No
Republican ought to be ignorant of the
attitude of his party on the question of
whiskey. 1t has gone, in devotion to
the naked issue Of protection at all and
any price, far beyond the position of
James G. Blaine himself, who is sup
posed to be the arch.apostle Of protec-
tion. In his Paris interview Mr.. Blaine
said that there was moral aspect of the
whiskey question which led him to in
sist upon the retention of the Internal
Revenue tax on whiskey. In order to
place the views of Mr.. Blaine beyond
peradventure we will quote the exact
words OF the Plumed Knight in the Paris
interview. They are here appended:
Iwould not advise the repeal OF the
whiskey tax. Other considerations than
those of financial administration are to
be taken into account with regard to
whiskey. There is moral side to it. To
cheaper the price of whiskey is to increase
its consumption enormously. There
would be no sense in urging the reform
wrought by high license in many States
if the National Government neutralizes
the good effect by making whiskeyi within
reach of every one at twenty cents gal
lon. Whisky would be everywhere dis
titled if the surveillance of the Govern
ment were withdrawn by the remission
be prevented even by a policy as rigor-
Russia pursues the Nihilists. 1t would
States.
While there was big howl for Blaine
in the Chicago Convention, and he could
have been readily nominated if he had
chosen to accept the equivocal honor Of
being again beaten by Mr.. Cleveland,
his views were repudiated by the Con-
vention which nominated Harrison and
Morton. That body, after very careful
deliberatio1, acquitted itself of the fol-
lowing plank in the platform upon which
the Republican nominees stand:
The Republican party would effect
all needed reduction of the national rev.
enue by repeating the taxes upon
tobacco, which are an annoyance and
burden to agriculture, and the tax upon
spirits used in the arts and for mechanical
purposes, and by such revision Of the
