Rspunl leans here yerY much regret the
misunderstanding that has arisen bes
tween Senators Sherman and Quay. OF
course no one who @lkzEo ws the two gen
tlernen would believe that either. of them
were capable Of doing any diiEiaon-
torable. The cause OF. the trouble seems
to have been about as follows: a short
time ago Psnnsyl vanla and Ohio both
had candidates for Deputy Comm saioner
OF Internal Revenue. The fighS was Sc
warm that it is said the President int1na-
ted to both parties his in tention OF ap.
pointing a man from some other State
unless they could reach an amicable a
greement, This brought the parties TO
terms and Pennsyl Vania's candidate was
Withdrawn and the position given to: the
Ohio man. AT the Same time the Ohio
people agreed to support The PennsYl-
vania candidate tor Solicitor OF the In
ternal Revenue Bureau, just at this
stage Senators Sherman and Quay both
left town for d Few days. and it was dur
ing their absence that tho great trouble
occurred, Attorney General Miller was
the innocent cause Of it. Wanting to do
something for Ohio, and knowing moth
ing Of any agreement between Senator's
Sherman and Quay, he asked Represens
tsti7e McK inley if ex-C ongressn man Al
phonso Hart Of Ohio, would accept the
appointment Of Solicitor for the Internal
Revenue Bureau Mr.. Mckinley told.
him he would telegraph and ascertain.
He did SO, and Mr., Hart accepted and
was telegraphed to come to w ashing tor
inmad iately.
In the eantime Senator Quay returned
to the city and disco vered the state OF .af-
fairs. he YVES nat Irally very angssy and
SAID many things not compi imentary to
Senator Sherman whom he blamed for
the entire business. When these remarks
were published Mr.. Sherman said: IF
tho remarks attributed to Senator Quay
had Come from any one else I should
hare resented them. But Senator Quay
isa big hearted generous man and When
he comes to- understand that there is
nothing under handed about MI. Harris
appointment his resentment will pass
away. i would be out Of place for me
to step il now and ask Mr.. Hart to re-
fuse the position. &c Is true Senator
Quay went home at that time, but before
leaving here he met Senator Sherman and
the matter was explained to him ID 8
satisfactory manner.

IMPORTANT CHANGES.
The Union Pacific,s Establishm
Here Divided.

The Union Pactfic,s Establishm ment
Here Divided.
The visit of the Union Pacific officials
to this city has resulted, as was antici-
pated, in some important changes in the
company's establishment here. Hereto
fore Mr.. Hechtman has been freight and
passenger agent in this territory but now
these departments are to be separated
and on and after the LIST of February Mr..
John Clark, at present travelling agent,
will enter into authority as passenger
agent for Southern California. This
leaves Mr.. Hechtman in charge of the
freight business and to this has been
added claims department and he will
in future handle everything in that line
coming from this section. These changes
have resulted from the separating of the
two departments in San Francisco on the
retirement of Mr.. D. w. Hitchcock and
also because the Los Angeles business
has assumed such proportions that it is
deemed advisable to handle each branch
separately.
Mr.. J. B. Kirkland left for San Fran
cisco on yesterday afternoons train and
Mr.. s. w. Eccles went over to San Ber-
nardino to visit some relatives. He will
return to his headquarters up north on
Tuesday next.

Orange Spccialg.

The Southern Pacific commenced yes
terday to make arrangements for orange
shipments to the East. Six refrigerator
cars were sent to Alhambra, two to
Tropico and three to Vernon to be
loaded, and when they are ready the first
special train of the season will be sent
out. Both the Santa Fe and Southern
Pacific are making big bid for the crop
this year, for, as it represents nearly
double the weight of that of any other
export from Southern California, there is
a good deal of profit in it. Within a
couple of weeks two or three special
trains will leave this section every week
for the markets of the East.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-01-27

nardino from 80 to so cents, General
Passenger Agent H. B. wilkins, OF the
California Central, said yesterday after
noon to q HERALD man. "The very idea
is preposterous. The Santa Fe would
no more start in to fight the motor road
than an elephant would get into a con-
test with flea. The reason the reduc-
ton was made was in pursuance OF q line
of policy l have always adopted where
ever practicable, namely, the establish,
ing OF low rates between big centers of
business. The cut was made by US for
an experiment and without even a
thought of the Motor Company's exist
ence. If it is successful, the same thing
will probably be adopted at other heavily
populated points, 30 as to keep up a
stream of constant communication be-
tween them"

A Colored Citlzen Spenk,.

EDITORS HERALD: Less than tn rec
months ago the Republicans carried this
city by twelve hundred majority. Less
than two months ago the Democrats car
ried it by one thousand majority. Now
then, by which party will it be carried in
the forthcoming municipal contest? That
is more than the most sagacious politician
can tell. But this 1 do know: The Re-
publican party of Los Angeles has been
losing strength among the colored voters
every day since the newly elected county
and municipal officers took control OF
their respective offices. Why? Because
OF the shameful treatment they have re-
ceived at the hands of those gentlemen.
Therefore, it is not at all difficult to
determine how they will vote at the
coming city election. Men who were
never known to scratch a Republican
ticket, are now openly declaring their
intention to step down and out of the
party. There is no use in talking.
Never yet was there a time in
the history of this country
when any political party could bank.
with such unerring accuracy, on the
unanimous support Oh any particular
class of voters, as the Republican party,
up to date, has banked on the negro.
And yet, in return for their answering
fidelity, that party persists in treating
them as political nonentities. The intel
ligent negroes, however, are fast realiz.
ing the fact that the Republican party of
to-day is not what the Republican party
was twenty-five years ago, and that it is
high time they were opening their eyes.
Be We sure of this, that the local manip-
ulators of the Republican party cannot
continue to treat their colored constitu-
ents, in the future, as they have treated
them in the recent past, and continue to
enjoy their undivided support. The
treatment meted out to the colored men
during the last five weeks has been quite
sufficient to cap the climax, and if l
know anything about it you can rest as.
sured that somebody will be knocked
out at the next election. 1t is seldom
that the deceived are blessed with such
an early opportunity OF revenge, but
such is the case in Los Angeles this year
of our Lord; and so mote it bel

A New Railroad office.

1t is stated on good authority that the
Pennsylvania system will shortly open
offices in this city. The company has
had representative here for some time
past in the person of Mr.. D. M. True, but
he has had no actual headquarters as it
was not deemed necessary to 60 to that
expense. Owing, no Never, to the recent
opening here of offices by the Vanderbilt
lines, the Chicago and Alton and the
promise of an establishment by the
Wabash, the Pennsylvania people see
that If they want to get their percentage
of business they must do as the others,
so when Mr.. True returns from San
Francisco steps will probably be taken
to obtain the necessary accommodations
