STOLEN BONDS.
The Men Who Had Them for Sale
ArreSled.

CHICAGO, December 23.-In the matter
of the stolen bond case with which Law
yer Cutting was identified in court dur
ing the past week, the authorities have
now arrested William F. Shaw, Henry
Plessner, G. d. Taylor and Otis Corbett.
The latter is the father-in-law of Shaw,
and until short time ago was a dry
goods merchant at Rock Island. Inspector
Bonfield to-day secured $2,1OO worth
of the bonds stolen from Kellogg,
johnson & Bliss, April 9th, and
expects to get $1,000 worth of
Cohn, Wampold & Co.'s stolen bonds to-
morrow. He thinks he is on the trail of
the robbers, and expects to expose what
he believes to be one of the boldest and
most effective organized bands of burg
lars and crooks ever operating in Chica-
go. The exact connections of the ar
rested men with the matter is not vet
made, and no positive charges are known
against them aside from attempting to
dispose of stolen securities. INSPECTOR
Bonfield, It'll said lis satisfied that Lawyer
Cutting was not implicated criminally in
the matter and was innocently dragged
into scrape through his legal connec-
tions with. Shaw, who possessed the
stolen bonds, and when informed of the
correct nature of the case he went before
the Grand Jury and told all he knew.
His story led to the arrests as above.
Taylor denies that he had anything to do
with the bond business, and says if
Plessner and Shaw made such charges
against him he will make some facts
known that will close their mouths.

LARGE amount of accumulated bust
ness will ccme up in the Council to-day.
Amongst the most important concerns
are a consideration of the West outfall
sewer proposition, the question of acced-
ing to the demands OF the Southern Pa
ci6c Railway in the matter of acquiring
the right Of way to it's new depot on the
Wolfskill tract over Pine street, and the
election OF City officers, such as Chief of
Police, City Clerk, etc. 1t is really a
marvel the extent to which the time of
the Council has been consumed, during
the past four or five months, on things
which pertain to the pulpit and the
moral government of man. While the
Council has been plunged into polemics,
our streets have been neglected,
the Police force has been demoralized
and crime has been more rampant than
for years past. 1t is to be hoped that,
hereafter, controversial matters will be
ignored, and that the City Fathers will
get down to the genuine business line.
There are perhaps too many routine
matters, that require urgent attention, to
hope that everything will be compassed
to-day, but the HERALD believes in the
doctrine of "hope well and have we'll"
and is sanguine enough to look for a
business dispatch which will clear the
dockets and complete the detail OF the
splck span and new city government.

Associated Press DISPATCHES to the HERALD
CHICAGO, December 23-The proposed
Anarchist meeting this afternoon did not
take place. The hall which was to be
used is controlled by the Plasterers'
Union, and the renting of it to the Ar
better Bund was done without their
knowledge by the janitor. The Union
this morning sent a committee to Chief
of Police Hubbard to arrange course of
action, assuring him that the plasterers
had no sympathy with the An
archists. Mr.. Kraft, the attorney
for the Bund, was present, and
to him Chief Hubbard reiterated
his determination that the meeting must
not be held. The plasterers' committee
then returned to the hall and notified the
janitor not to open it. About O'Clock
forty or fifty members of the Arbeiter
Bund, under the leadership of Albert
Curtin arrived and demanded to know
why the hall was not opened. Their
curiosity was gratifed by the Lieutenant
OF Police, who was present. The at
torney then advised them to make no
further attempt to hold the meeting,
saying that the action of the police was
just what they had been wanting to help
out their case in court. They soon dis
persed.
CHICAGO, December 23.-Later this
evening it was learned that the members
of the Arbeiter Bund outwitted the police
after all. When they left the vicinity of
Plasterers' hall, in accordance with pre-
arranged plan, they went to quiet
saloon on West Randolph street and held
a meeting perfecting an organization be-
posed the name of Mayor Roche, Chief
of Police Hubbard and Inspector Bon
field as honorary members Of the Bund.
The proposition was unanimously carried.

These are the figures as they came out
in the count. They are not absolutely
accurate, as the exact number of voters
in the city, as shown by the Great Regis.
ter, is 14,776, in the country Is, $50, and
in the entire county 30,336. The count
missed therefore in the city ia names,
in the country 23S, and in both combined
S52. The percentage is a mere baga.
telle and does not at all feet the value
of the study, from political or socio-
logical point of view.
1t will now be of interest to make
some analytical and synthetical combi.
nations of these results. Thus it will
be found that of our voters in the city
there were born in the Northern
States 9.076, and only 2,2s7 of the m
in the Southern States. Taking the
North by sections, it appears that
the Pacific States are the native
heath of 1882, of which 1,l1S first
saw light in California, and are therefore
elibible as Native Sons of the Golden
West; that the New England States con-
tributed total of 1909 of her hardy
sons to our voting population, of which
Massachusetts gives us over one-third;
that the Middle States sent 2,S04 of her
boys to the Semi-Tropics to help on the
boom, of which the Empire State claims
l ,649, or more than all New England put
together; Pennsylvania gives US $50,
thus crowding the thousand figure, and
New Jersey has only 175 of her sons here
that the Great West, from Ohio to Colo
RADIO and north Of the Ohio river, has the
ions share in her 8, 3,S91; of these Ohio
has the greatest number, 1852, and
Illinois the next, 1858.
In the country there are IL 1896 of the
voters who were born in the North and
'nly 956 of those are for the Southern
states. The proportions for the several
eparate sections of the Union will be
ound to run with much uniformity in
ity and country. Indeed it is some
What surprising to observe how nearly the |
gures all through the list have the same |
alto in the country as in the city. |
The same remark will be found men,
rably true in its application to foreign
ountries.
All the States are found in the city,

We HAVE fine illustration of the in
sincerity of Republican declarations in
election times in the confession of the
editor Of the Tribune, who, now that the
election is over, admits that he kept on
saying that the Mills bill was free
trade measure Notwithstanding it could
not be shown that that bill was more
favorable in some respects to free trade
than the Republican Senate bill The
Tribune editor would not have made such
an admission prior to the 9th of Novem-

HAVANA, December 23.-Advices have
been received from Hayti to the effect
that the dispute over the seizure of the
steamer Haytian Republic has been set
tied. The steamer has bsen delivered
to the American men-of-war and the lat
ter have honored the Haytian flag with
salute of twenty-one guns. Among the
people the action of the United States
Government is considered as an abuse of
power against helpless nation, and this
opinion is said to be shared by some
foreign diplomatic representatives. Gem
eral Legitime has been unanimously
elected President of the Republic, and is
taking energetic steps to suppress the
revolution.

The Chinese ''incubus" has struck
the Negro laundrymen of the sunny
South. Charleston has been districted
by the Six Companies, and a wash
house started in each. The Mongolian
laundrymen have begun the siege by
doing "washee" far cheaper than the
Negresses can or are willing to do it.,
and now up goes howl against the
"heathen Chinee" from the colored
people of Dixie. If the Chinese can
underworld the Dinahs of the South,
they are invincible. This new Mon
golian invasion is timely. It will bring
an element which mas great influence
with Republican statesmen into the field
against the repeal, or any modification,
of the Exclusion Act.

The Hon. Matthew Stanley Quay very
rarely speaks without knowing what he
is talking about. When the Republicans
were looking about for a chairman fol
their National Committee, old Simon
Cameron, who often occupies quarters in
his son Don's house on Lafayette Square,
directed their attention to Quay as the
right man for the place-as a man who
could keep his mouth shut. When Quay
assumed the control of the National Com
mittee of the Republican party he an
nounced that his programme was one of
"silence and work." This has sort of re-
mote resemblance to Bill Kemble's old
time plan of addition, division and ST.
lence," and the Republican campaign in
all its details made the parallel
complete. But Quay, who never
talked before, has now set his
tongue to wagging. In letter to his
old family physician, and from Indian
apolis at that, fresh from conference
with the President-elect, he assures that
gentleman OF the Postmastership of
Fargo, Dakota, and adds that Foraker
j. Benson of that ilk-will 60 into the
Cabinet. AS there appears to be no
doubt as to the authenticity of this let
ter, which has been telegraphed all over
the United States, there can be no doubt
that the question of the disposition of
Ohio's "big four" has been disposed of
by Gen. Harrison. and therefore we may
assume that John Sherman's cake is
dough. From the inception of the cabi-
net speculations only two names have
been mentioned in connection with the |
State Department in Gen. Harrison's |
administration, viz, James G.. Blaine
and John Sherman. As Sherman is
out Of the count the probability is ex-
treme that Blaine has already in his
possession an invitation to take the pre-
miership Of the new government. The
HERALD has never doubted for mo-
ment that that would be the real solu-
lion of all the Cabinet making. A Re-
publican administration without Blaine,
ID view of the late campaign, would be
ike the play of Hamlet with Hamlet"

THE name of Mr.. H. 2. Osborne is
mentioned as an applicant for the posi-
ton of government printer at Washing
ton. There could not possibly be bet
ter selection. The senior editor and
proprietor of the Express is a man
specially qualified for this position. His
services to his party have been great and
continuous, and he is notably accom-
plished in all the technical lines which
would make his supervision of this i'm
portant service of the government capa-
BILE and satisfactory. The HERALD, al
though on the opposite side Of the politi-
cal fence, heartily acclaims the propriety
and good sense of Brother Osborne's
appointment.

THE Tammany Club OF San Francisco,
an influential Democratic body. have Of
fered to contribute $1,000 towards a
general recount of the votes in that city
at the late election. The Republicans
failed to meet this proposition in the
spirit in which it was made. The
partial recount has shown that both Re-
publican and Democratic election officials
united in the determination to count out
O'Donnell who, though he stands no
chance of being declared Mayor as the
result of the recount, is shown to have
received many votes which were not
counted for him, and many others which
were counted for Pond or Story. 1t
would probably have been great mis-
fortune if O'Donnell had been elected
Mayor of San Francisco, but it is not as
great an outrage as to have the votes of
the citizen deliberately suppressed. The
very revelation of the attempt to defraud
O'Donnell of ballots rightfully cast fer
him will 60 farther towards making him
the next Mayor Of the city of the Golden
Gate than anything else could. Neither
party can afford to countenance fraud.
Under our complex political system it is
very hard to remedy a wrong at the bal
lot box when it is once contaminated.
Thus it has been estimated that it would
take four years and some months to have
complete recount of the poll of the city
and county of San Francisco in the
Presidential election. The proceedings
must take place before a single judge,
and the unavoidable delays are simply
interminable. All the more exigent is it
that the perpetrators of electoral out
RACES should be punished with severity
and certainty. The portals of the peni.
Tertiary should be understood as yawning
for criminals of this class, and the ball
and chain should clank on their legs for
years. The Tammany Club has taken
the right stand in this matter, and their
direct and instant action contrasts very
favorably with that of their political
opponents.

DR.. KoBER, who passed through Los
Angeles yesterday, in a conversation
with one of the editors of the HERALD,
developed view of the right way to in
fuence certain kind of settlement in
California which is certainly one of the
correct methods. The Doctor has been
connected at one time with the medical
staff of the United States army; and,
after his retirement from that official po-
sition, he devoted himself to collecting
data concerning the botany and clima-
tology of Modoc county, in this State.
He did his work well, his article was
published in the journal of the Califor-
mia Medical Association, and it was re-
published in the leading medical journal
of New York, with a commendatory ed
itorial. In this article DIR. Kober showed
how remarkably well adapted to the
cure of all pulmonary and other
ailments of cognate character is the
mountain climate of California. He sug-
gests that, as to the California Riviera,
Southern California, nothing would be
SO useful as authoritative articles from Los
Angeles physicians in determining the
current of invalid travel, which largely
goes to Europe and Florida under mis-
apprehension of the facts-the principal
fact being that Southern California is the
great sanitarium OF the world. Here is a
suggestion which Doctors Widney, Lind
ley and others, who have already done
good work in this line, would do we'll to
