THOSE who think Second sire ct will be
tunneled at the expense of all the hill
property for the benefit of a few who
own property along that street near
Spring, are chasing an tgssss fatuus that
is likely to land them in slough of
despond. The true way to benefit the
hills next to Olive street is to make as
good grade as is practicable along First
street, to put double cable line on
Second street, and to tunnel Third street.
There is good deal to be said in relation
to this scheme to incur an immense ex-
pense which the general public has to
meet for the benefit of the few. 1t will
be said in due time. HiN residents will
do we'll to keep their eye on these
schemes. The Council might retrench
still further in the City Engineers office,
until the force is so reduced as to stop
exploits like this Second-street tunnel.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
Proceedings in the British
Parliament.
ANGLo-PORTUGUESE RELATIONS.
The Parnell Commission to Report
Today-The Due D'0rleans
Sentenced.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
LONDON, February 12.-In the Com
mons today Sir James Ferguson stated
that the papers concerning the Anglo
Portuguese dispute, relative to territory
in Southern Africa, would soon be pre-
sented in Parliament. They would serve
to largely dispel the Misrepresentation
which is causing the hostile feeling now
being manifested against the English by
the Portuguese. The relations between
the British and Portuguese Governments,
he said, are friendly. Portugal had sug-
gested the arbitration of the question in
dispute, but England was of the opinion
that the subject was not one for arbitra-
ton.
Ferguson also stated that the Govern.
ment had not yet considered the invita-
ton extended by Switzerland to England
to take part in the proposed labor confer
ence at Berne.
An address in reply to the Queens
speech was moved in the Commons
this afternoon by Thomas Roydon and
seconded by Lord Brooke.
Gladstone spoks during the debate on
the address in regard to the Anglo-P or
tuguese dispute. He regretted that a
conflict had arisen, but the present
matter was case for action, and it was
better the action should be prompt.
Gladstone, referring to Samoa, con-
graduated the Government upon the
arrangements made. 1t was good ex-
ample of what could be done by tenn
perate resort to pacific ways.
Touching Ireland, he denied that the
prosperity and order which prevailed
there was due to coercion. The state oi
affairs existing there arose chiefly from
the improved agricultural condition oi
the country. He hoped the local gov.
ernment measure would be conceived in
a liberal spirit. If the proposals of the
bill were niggardly, the effect would be
10 produce new material for meditation
w. Fl Smit 4, the Conservative leader
said the Irish local government bill was
drawn on the lines of the existing legis
lation in England and Scotland, with 6
special adoption to the varying con
ditions of Ireland. Hear, hear He
was quite sure the bill would not bt
found too narrow.
The report of the special commission
on the Times Parnell case will probably
be made public tomorrow. The report il
practically unanimous, though Judge
Day, who differs with Justice Hammer
ana Judge Smith on one or two points
will deliver separate judgment.
A dispatch sent by Lord Salisbury Il
the Portuguese Government January 18th
said the Portuguese invaded disputed ter
ritory in Africa, insulted the British fla,
and killed England's allies before asking
for mediation according to the terms o
the Berlin treaty. Portugal, the dispatch
said, had no right now to claim sucl
mediation. The reply of the Portuguese
Government explained that preparation
for war were then being made by Portu
gal.
In an amendment to the address in re-
sponse to the speech from the throne
Parnell makes distinct and explicit re-
statement of the Irish grievances, anc
demands the repeal of the coercion act
This will be debated on Monday.

other States.
CHICAGO, February 12.-At Central
music hall tonight, 5000 people cele-
brated the birthday of Abraham Lincoln.
Lincoln Council of the National Union
League conducted the affair. Hon. John
M. Thurston, of Nebraska, WAS orator of
the evening. His address was received
with great applause. Speaking of the
change in the government of Brazil
to republic, he said: "On
Freedoms scroll of honor the name of
Abraham Lincoln was written first, and
the colossal statue Of his fame stood for
ever before the American people. This
sunshine OF an approving heaven rested
upon it, and over it calmly foated un-
conquered the flag of the greatest nation
On earth.
New YORK, February 12.-The Repub.
lican Club at Delmonico's tonight com.
memorated the eighty-frst anniversary
of the birthday Of Abraham Lincoln.
Cephas Brainerd presided, and on either
side of him were Senator Cullom, of
Illinois; Sen ator Davis, of Minnesota
Congressman Dolliver, of Iowa, and
Dingley, Of Maine; Governor Louns-
berry, of Connecticut; General John @.

Reed, Secretary Rusk and others.
Senator Cullom, the first speaker,
spoke to the toast "Abraham Lincoln.''
He spoke of him as the saviour of the
Union and the lberator Of
100000 slaves. "The fight,
said the speaker, "must go on in
accordance with the creed of Lincolg
in favor of liberty and justice to people
of all classes, colors and conditions in
our land, until every man shall stand
equal before the law, and equal in civil
and political rights, with no system of
intimidation at the election pol,s
or fraudulent counting when the
polls are closed. The fight must
go on until honest electons are
secured; until merciless monopolies are
subordinated, and the interests of the
great body of people are regarded and
until trusts and combinations, prom,ted
by greed and inordinate avarice, shal oa
broken up"

FAIR Whittier on the hillside had her
innings yesterday, and a right winning
game she played. 1t is estimated that
10000 people paid visit to the pretty
Quaker town. The liberality of the
Southern Pacific in placing ten solid
trains at the service of the public with
out money and without price, was q
handsome act in itself. The Reform
School has long been a very necessary
thing in this section.

MR.. HAYES has risen from the grave
to say that if Cleveland runs in 1892 it
will again be campaign of principles as
In 1888, and that as in that year the
mere man will cut but little figure" Mr..
Hayes no doubt has fellow feeling for
such campaigns. He knows that in 1875
the mere man" on the Republican
ticket cut a very sorry figure. But that
was not campaign Of principles, but
one OF lack of principle on his side of the
fence.

Mr.. HENDERSON, of Iowa, made
characteristic speech in the House yes
terday in his attempt to defend the
course pursued by Speaker Reed. The
whole thing is one of those mealy-
mouthed pieces of hypocrisy which men
like Henderson always indulge in. He
gets far away from the merits of the case
and creates great cloud of smoke under
which to carry on scheme that will not
bear the light of day. 1t is of course
all rubbish to talk about expelling
members for branding Reeds rulings as
a usurpation of power, or for pointing
out the true purpose that underlies this
whole matter. 1t is just as rank rubbish
to talk Of the Democratic members try
ing to govern the country whether they
are in the minority or the majority.
The Constitution of this country guaran-
tees rights to the smallest minority that
no majority can legally depriveit of. All
the Democratic members ask is that
their rights as a minority be re-
spscted. It is rule of all
parliamentary bodies that motion
to adjourn shall always be in order. Ts
it not usurpation of power for Mr.
Reed to abolish this rule? Is the indi.
vidual Reed majority Of the House
If not, there is no session of the House
until a quorum is found by parliamentary
processes. Mr.. Henderson talks rub.
bish, too, when he gives utterance tc
those oleaginous sentences in regard to
Democrats being defended in their
rights to their seats or deprived OF
their seats on the merits of the cases as
they come up. There is very little risk in
the prophecy that in every contested case
the Republican will get the seat and the
Democrat be deprived of it. The meth
ods OF Mr.. Henderson's party in dealing
with contested election cases are not yet
forgotten. The party wants safe work
ing majority in this House, and is going
to have it. There is all there is in tie
question, and there are the merits of the
case in nutshell. Mr.. Henderson does
not need to bs told these things.

A stormy Scene over Reference To
the Hull Riot.

OTTAWA, Ont, February 12.-There
was a warm fight in the Commons today.
Charlton, member for Oxford, asked the
Premier if the attention of the Govern
ment had been officially called to the
disgraceful Hull riot, last night. He
charged the First Minister with pailiating
and winking at such outrages, in order to
secure the Roman Catholic vote.
Sir John Mcdonald replied, warmly
resenting the charge. The matter. he
declared, was for Quebec to look after.
The Federal authorities had no jurisdic-
ton. He charged Charlton with endeav.

BALLOT REFORM.
Ex-Pres1demt cleveland Submits
to The Publication of His Views.

to the Publication of His Views.
BALTIMORE, February 12.-The Sun to-
morrow will print long interview with
eX-President Cleveland, from which the
following is taken:
In discussing the question of ballot re-
form, the reporter said to him some
Southern Democratic leaders at Wash
ington were fearful that the adoption of
the Australian system would imperil
Democratic supremacy. At this MIR.
Cleveland was surprised, as he did not
see why there should be fear on that
score. But, said he, l have never looked
upon this question from that point of
view. | have never debated whether
the removal of trickery from the voter
would iDjure or benefit the Democratic
party. Ballot reform is right, and that is
why think it should be adopted.
As to the argument that the unedu-
Gated voter would be embarrassed and in
many instances deprived of his privilege,
MIR. Cleveland could not see that there
was anything in it. The best plan
would be to have lists of all the candi-
dates printed on one ticket, signs to be
adopted, standing at the top of each list,
and indicating to which party the candi-
dates belonged. The voter could then
by one mark indicate his intention to
vote for all the candidates of his party.
Il He did not approve of the proposition
requiring the voter to make q mark op-
posite each candidate of his party. This
was cumbersome and would result disad-
vantageously 30 far as both the educated
and uneducated voter we're concerned.
The vital principle of ballet reform he
regarded as lodged in the official ballot.
10 permit an unofficial ballot would leave
the door as wide open as ever to bribery
aad corruption.
The necessity for ballot reform is most
urgent, and Indiana, State most cap
able of judging and appreciating the
evils of the present situation, is ripe for
movement in that direction. In the
asst campaign the virus of corruption of
sae voter passed largely into the rural
districts OF New York, and thousands of
7oters yielded to the temptation, and for
iwo-dollar bills voted against their own
convictions. II not arrested by legisls-
ton it would be much worse at the next
general election.
Mr.. Cleveland believes the sentiment
Tor ballot reform will ere long be suffi-
GENTLY powerful to compel respect and
obedience from the reluctant legislators.
Civil service reform, Mr.. Cleveland
thought, has now too firm hold upon the
country to be destroyed by politicians.
Speaking of the tariff, he said the ag-
rculturaliss of the United States are the
cass upon whom the tariff bears most
heavily, and it is to relieve their burdens
hs is go anxious. He thought the best
way to reach the farmers, and convince
ITEM OF their own true interests, is the
establishment of tariff reform clubs
among them, and to disseminate litera-
ture applicable to their circumstances.
