cial improvements of all the principal

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
Increased Appropriation for Texas
HarbOrs Voted Down.

WASHINGTON, January al In the
House to-day there were not more than
seventy-five members in attendance.
After the reading of the journal, the
Speaker proceeded to call the committees
for reports; none were submitted.
The bill was passed granting an an
nual leave of absence of ten days to
employees of the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing in place of fifteen days.
Ma.son, of Indiana, called up the bill
prohibiting any agent from receiving a
fee for securing an increase of pension on
account of the increase OF the disability
for which the pension was originally
granted. or for securing, by special act Of
Congress, in cases where pension
might be obtained under the general
pension laws.
Peters of Kansas, offered an amend
ment providing that the applicant for a
pension may contract with any person in
the State in which the applicant lives,
to pay not exceeding $50 for services
| rendered, should the increase be al
lowed. The amendment was adopted
and the bill passed.
Springer, of Illinois, introduced a
joint resolution for the admission OF
Arizona and Idaho. Referred.
Sayers, of Texas, reported the Fortifi-
cation Appropriation bill, which was
placed on the calendar.
The House then went into Committee
of the Whole on the River and Harbor
Appropriation bill.
Sowden, of Pennsylvania, made an
attack upon the bill as being extravagant
and wasteful, and directed his criticism
especially against appropriations for i'm i.
provements in Texas.
Grain and Stewart, of Texas, defended
the Committee report, and described the
national importance of the proposed i'm
provement in Texas. Grain moved to in
crease the appropriation for Arkansas
Pass from $65 900 to $147 200.
Sowden objected, and after some de-
bate the amendment was rejected.
Grain made various endeavors to in
crease the appropriations for Arkansas
Pass, Sabine Pass and Galveston harbor,
but was id every case voted down.
Finally the Committee rose and the
House adjovrned.

Work. Not Talk Wanted.

There never were time and place that
did so conjoin as the present and right
here to stimulate men and capital to the
development Of section. There is every.
thing in the moment and in the locality
to draw upon capital wholesale, and to
make every hand busy as nailer's. If a
matchless soil and an empty home mar.
ket aIe not sufficient inducement to cap
ital and incentive to energy then the in
ducement and incentive do not exist.
Here is section whose soils produce
nearly all the fruits, grains and vegetables
of the globe. Our wheat fields average
twenty-five bushels an acre. The yield
Of barley averages thirty bushels. The
corn fields of this county turn out an
average OF seventy bushels. All
the deciduous fruits are produced in per-
lection as to quality and in great abund-
ance. These are fanked by the oranges
the lemons, the lines, the bananas, the
guavas and many other fruits usually
looked for in tropical lands.
The vegetables known to the Eastern
States only for few months when sum.
mer is at its height are gathered from
the fields of South California every week
in the year.
Yet at this time 80 greatly has the in
crease Of population outstripped the de-
velopment of the country even in its
agricultural resources that nearly all
these things are daily being imported
here from the Western States to feed
our permanent population. To provide
the home market with the products
of the soil for daily consumption it re.
quires that one Thousand industrious
families go at once to work on one
Thousand small farms, varying in size
from five to one hundred acres each,
Poultry, eggs, butter, cheese, -four. In
dian meal, and even fruits are being
brought in to supply the home demand
for everyday use. Let this be stopped
Let US depend on ourselves. Let us
look to our own fields for what we use,
and let us stop the steady flow Of specie
to the East to pay for imports which we
should produce.
Nor should we stop at this as the ulti.
mate, or even as the immediate goal o.
our ambition. Side by side with the
above line Of development We should

The Police Commissioners have
doubtless because they we're not con.
versans with the facts,-dropped Mrs,
A. H. Watson from the payroll a:
matron of the city prison. There is, oi
course, not enough employment in the
city prison to justify the payment of q
salary for the constant attendance
Of matron there. But Mrs. Wat.
son was placed on the Police
roster because of her outside work,
which is very onerous and all of it of a
police character. She superintends the
Girls Home, and nearly all the stray
girls that get into the courts are con-
signed to her care and are committed to
the Home. She also takes charge of all
the boys and girls committed to the
Home in San Francisco. The Directors
of the Girls Home in this city, an insti.
tuition that receives nothing from
the city, through the aid of ex.
Mayor Workman, induced the late
Police Commissioners to appoint
Mrs. Watson to the position oi
city prison matron, in consideration OF
the fact that she was doing good outside
work for the city, and because there are
frequent occasions when the services o.
. matron in the city prison are indis
pensable. The salary is small; and
whilst it is relief to the impoverished
treasury Of the Girls Home, the city re-
ceives q full guild pro quo in public
service. The directors Of the Girls
Home very justly claim that the
great good this institution is doing
through the efficient aid of Mrs. Wat
son, justifies them in looking for con.
tinuance of that lady on the police pay
roll. If she is finally dropped from it,
che Girls Home will be seriously
crippled, for the Directors cannot ask
her to continue to devote her services ia
that institution gratis, and the Home is
now absolutely without funds, and is
kept up by advances generously made by
some Of the Directors themselves.

Los ANGELES owes good deal in the way
of her prosperity and growth to what she
has. She is equally indebted in this re-
spect to what other sections have not.
1t is this eternal fitness of things which
has combined to cause her population to
double in two years. The sunlit semi
tropics has the climate and the blizzard
swept lands of the Eastern and Western
States have the consumptives. We have
the climate and its concomitant, health.
They have not the climate and the con-
comitant of that, sore lungs. The two
work together for our good. The mean.
ing of this in the present instance is that
the current winter in the country beyond
the Rockies is unusually mild. So mild is
the weather that at Winona, on Christ.
mas day, the people celebrated by means
of steamboat excursion on Lake Pepin,
an enlargement Of the Mississippi river.
The mercury on that day stood at 80
degrees above zero. At that date it
usually stands at 80 degrees below the
zero point. That is what accounts for
the small number of tourists head
ing this way this season. Well, things
always average up at last; SO before
the winter is over we may expect to hear
of change in the weather in that region.
The spring will be cold and late, and the
streams of people who did not come here
before the turn of the year will come
later on, and our good weather and the
bad weather of the East will work to
our benefit later, if not sooner. t

HE WANTS TO KNOW WHY.
H0ar Calls for the COrresp0n den,
AhQut the Seal Ei6heriea.

WASHINGTON, January 2. Senator
Hoar to-day introduced a resolution,
which was adopted, asking the President
to transmit to Congress any correspond.
ence had with Great Britain concerning
the seal fisheries in o. near Behring
straits, especially as to the seizure Of any
vessel OF the United States or other
country, and what regulations governing
the fisheries have been adopted by this
Government. Hoar says there have
been and are still widespread complaints
of unjust discrimination made against
American vessels; that while they are
not permitted to take seals out at sea.
which is perfectly proper and right, no
interference is made with the operations
Of vessels of other countries, particularly
those of Great Britain, and he wants to
know why.

"wHATFOOLS WE MORTALs BE-,

Oneis struck with the force of SHAKs-
PERE's saying, quoted above, when he
learns that men who have spent a good
share of their lives in depressing the labor
ers are able to get them to believe, by simple
profession, that their charitable hearts are
full of love for the laborlng class, and that
it is because of their great love for their
fellow beings that they have contributed
hundreds of thousands of dollars to Repub-
for no other purpose than to
protect he laborer and to raise
his wages by raising the tariff
When we further consider that these
statements have been accepted by laboriug
men and that they voted almost unani
mously foI the party of Trusts and Protec-
ton the truth of our quotation is again
made apparent. When the laborers fully
appreciate that high taxes do not produce
high wages; when their philanthropic
employers threaten to reduce their wages
and to fill their places with imported and
untaxed laborers if they do not acquiesce:
when they fully sense that they pay
enormous and disproportionate duties on
their necessaries they will then
understand the motives actuating the cap
italist If workmen can be made to appre-
ciate these points, and they are self-evi-
dent, we look to see them rise up in their
majesty and shake off this kind of protec-
ton at the next presiden tial election. The
fact that the rich reap the benefits, while
the poor, with reduced wages, pay in
creased prices for necessaries, renders
the motive of benevolent donors
to the campaign fund transparent.
The immense manufacturing institutions
that have been founded and successfully
carried on in this and other countries can
not fail to inspire feelings of respect for
the minds that have created them, and
these feelings of respect are increased to
those of profound admiration when we be-
hold these men add to their institutions a
system of profit sharing and schools for the
children Of their employees, libraries, mu-
tual aid societies etc. These things show
that there is true love in their hearts for
their fellows and that they are really pro
tectors of the laborer. There is no kind of
protection that is so beneficial as doing
something to improve the condition of
those that are la5oring. This is protection
that protects.

has swayed justice from her pedestal and
banished fairness from the human mind.
1t is needless to enumerate the special
laws referred to; however violent they
may be, however. dangerously close to the
line of unconstitutionality, they are the
soul of modesty and legality compared with
the further laws for which the Liberals
and their organ clamor. They applaud the
infamous Idaho test oath, seek a Congress
sional commission to run our affairs, ap-
plaud harsh decisions by the courts, and
oppose statehood. 1t may be set down as a
fact that just as soon as the Liberal party
gains control of the legislature, no Nor
mon, however aW-ahiding he may be, can
live in this territory and possess any
rights that will be entitled to respect.
Have Liberals any other policy than bit
ter, unrelenting hatred OF everything Nor
mon Honorable men should blush for
their manhood to be identified with party
whose aim is the degradation and the
misery of their fellow beings. What a
worthy cause Are Christians to aban-
don the gospel of love for the gospel Of
hate and thus confess the failure of Chris
tianity!
In contradistinction to the shameful pur-
pose and aim of the Liberal party, contem-
plate the policy of the Peoples party; it is
strictly defensive. The People ask no
more for themselves than they will cheer
fully accord to others-the blessings of
free government.

The MORNING after the Sullivan -Kilrain
affair, the New York World described the
fight in a glowing account, covering its
first, second and part of it's third pages
Editorially it moralized as follows: st is
to be hoped that the gentlemen who love
this style of pastime will be satisfied for a
season, and that it will be many months
before the country is again agitated by such
a disgraceful event as that of yesterday
The Herald of that city, which pointed
with fist-i-cuff pride to its heroic account
of the battle as the best of all,'' editori-
ally brands the affair as ''ruf1ianism and
brutality" and does penance in the follow
ing words: at is obvious that there never
has been in this country more conspicu-
Gus triumph of pugilism over law and pub
lie authority. 1t is not less obvious that
precedents of this kind cannot be multiplied
without bringing the law into contempt and
the national fame into disrepute'' Some
one ought to introduce the leading spirits
of the news and editorial departments of
these two papers to each other, and thus
prevent another such lamentable failure of
coordination.

SOME INTEREST is manifested in the
recent statements concerning the author
ship of the scurrilous campaign articles in
the North american Revieto signed arthur
Richmond" Miss Abigail Dodge (Gail
Hamilton), Secretary Blaine and Julian
Hawthorne, are mentioned in the list of
suggested authors. Blaine, it is quite GER
tain, took no part in their composition,
while Hawthorne asserts that he has never
read one of them. Miss Dodge could have
written them; the style is not unlike hers,
but the tone is decidedly lower. 1t makes
little difference who wrote them; they are
chiefly by blackguardism and
owe their prominence alone to that fact and
to the fact of their anonymousness. The
EUening Post says that if 1.-The letters of
Junius had been signed Philip Francis
Francis himself would have been kicked
out of Office and out of decent company
and the letters themselves would have been
forgotten long ago."

THE IDAHO Statesman works itself into a
fever of excitement over the suggestion
that the Mormens might some day gain
control Of the state and then establish a
state church and use state moneys in main
tanning it. Calm yourself, Statesman!
Read history and you will find that the
Mormons have never sought to infringe
upon the constitution or upon the rights of
others; that all they have asked, all that
they have sought in their political ma
neuvres and struggles in Utah or in
Idaho, is protection from rapacious and
cruel enemies; theirs is labor of defense
not of attack. Respect Mormon in his
liberties, let him enjoy the inalienable priv
ileges of American citizenship, and he will
ask no more; but for political ends Op-
press him with an Infamous test oath, that
is itself death blow to the rights of con
science, close up every avenue of political
influence to him, tax him without repre-
sentation, name as his civil superiors en-
venomed apostates, and he will struggle to
escape from under the crushing load.
