PECK OWNS MILWAUKEE
The Entire Democratic Ticket Elected
by Over 5000 Majority.
Sweeping Victory For the 0ppon-
entS of the Bennett Law.
Voters Manifest Their Repugnanee
For That Measure.
An Indication of the Stand They VIII
Take This Fall.
Democrats Already Talk Of Running
Peck for Governor.

MINIATURES, April Geo. W. Peck
and the Whole democratic ticket carries
the city by from 5000 to 5000 majority
over the republicans Murphy and the
labor ticket polled less than 5000 votes.
The democrats are wildly enthusiastic over
the result and are celebrating in wild
manner. They elected fourteen out of
eighteen aldermen. The German Lutheran
wards which generally give big republican
maJorities, went Sohdly democratic. The
result is landslide against the Bennett
law and has ALREADY got the democrats to
talking of running Peck for governor next
fall. 1t is thought that Elliott, city attor-
ney, who Is the lowest man on the repub-
hcan ticket, will now Try and hold his Of
flee 10y virtue ofa law he got passed during
the last legislature extending his time
two years. If he tries the scheme he will
be ouSted by the courts.

Won't I.IsrGO.

The American Economist, tariff mon
oplIy organ, declares with solemn gravity
that "protcction has reduced the price Of
every commodity we have produced TO any
great extent, and twill be but a few years
at most before competition will reduce the
price Of sugar" This is said in pleading
the cause of monopoly against any rcduc-
tion Of the sugar duties This should
show the republicans Of this section, who
are almost if not quite unanimous for Il
reduction Of sugar duties, that the protec-
tionists OF the tariff leaguc sect are not far
from daft. The tariff has for years had
full swing to stimulate the domestic pro-
duction Of sugar and has faiicd to do it.
The protcrtonist Of the ultra sort wants
the world To keep on being taxed. and hy
and by when science makes some grand
advance III the process of producing sugar,
then the high takers will he sure to claim
that the tariff did it. They won't let go
Of any chance to plundcr the people

The Rev. DIR. l.. S. Baldwin of New York
does not think the Chinese should be made
to go. He bases this opinion partly upon
the fact that at one time the Government OF
the United States suggested an interchange
of people as well as of goods with China
But the Rev. DR.. Baldwin is in error i'll sup
posing that the Chinese waited for the sug-
gestion. They began to come to the Pacific
Cast very shortly after the discovery of
gold, and were here in considerable num-
bers when the Burlingame treaty was
signed. Mr. Baldwin does not think the
fact that the Chinese send their earnings out
Of the country a reason why they are not
desirable residents. Other immigrants send
their wages home as we'll as Chinese. He
has also in some manner, to the rest of the
world unknown, discovered how much Chi
nese earn and how much they send home.
According to his information they distrib-
ute 100000 year in this country and
only send about $1,000, 600 to China. The
Chinese population OF California is est-
mated roundly at 100000 They are nearly
all men in the prime of life, and may be
assumed to save at least 500 each year.
Probably more earn $500 than less than
$500, but taking the latter figure as an
average and 100000 as the number, they
would earn S20000,000 in place of S9,000,000
Very little of this money gets into the
ordinary channels of trade They live in a
clannish way, buying of their own mer-
chants and mostly the products of their
own country. A working Chinese who does
not gamble sends nearly or quite $500 year
out of the country. In many cases they are
known to have returned with from $500 to
$1,000, earned and saved in four or five years
in this country. But the principal objec-
ton to the Chinese is the effect they have
upon white workingmen and working
women. Americans will leave the best
country in the world rather than compete
with the Chinese. The Chinese kept the
white population of California down, in
spite of the many natural advantages of the
State, until the enactment of restriction
laws afforded some assurance that limit
was TO be placed upon the Chinese popula-
ton Of the State.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The census enumeratOrs' queries have in
4 number of instances remained unan-
swered, and Superintendent Porter ex-
presses a determination to invoke the
assistance Of the machinery of the Depart
ment of Justice. Two methods have been
Tesorted to in order to secure statistics re-
garding the insane, idiotic, deaf, blind, de-
formed, mainiId or sick, the questions pro-
pounded by the enumeratOr and circulars
to physicians. In 1880 the responses of the
latter added 10000 cases to the enumerators'
returns. 1t is not expected, however, that
all cases would be reported, or that the
statistics for any community would be &C
curate.
Phil D. Armour, who was Invited to ex-
press his views before the sub Congress
sional Committee on immigration at Chi
cago wrote that: Healthy. industrious and
law abiding immigrants coming among us
to build and maintain homes are desirable
acquisitions, whether they have money or
not. In view Of the fact, however. that the
strongest and most enlightened nations of
the earth are supporting and improving ed
ucational systems, l believe there should
be an educational test, and that every i'm
migrant above school years should be able
An immense pyramid, constructed of steel
and glass, brilliantly illuminated at night
by electric lights, is the most striking sug-
gestion recently offered for the Worlds
Fair Building at Chicago. The pyramid is
to be 1900 feet high and 1900 feet square at
the base, and can be divided into thirty or
sixty stories. In the center there is to be a
court 400 feet square decked with fountains
and flowers The vast structure is to be
built of steel and glass, the floors being also
formed of the same materials.
The Customs Administration Bill places
nine desirable positions at the disposal of
the President. They are those of the gen.
eral Appraisers, whose salaries are $500
per annum. Four of these, who are to hold
Office during good behavior, must be Demo-
Gratis. The President has been urged how
ever, to avoid the politicians in making his
selections and choose men fitted for the po-
sltions by experience. merit and integrity.
The British Board of Trade inquiry re-
garding the loss of the steamship Erin,
which, like the City of Boston, so mysteri-
ously disappeared, showed that the vessel
was overloaded. The cupidity of her own
ers in all probability resulted in the sacri-
fee of many lives.

To CHEAPEN SILVER.

The bill which Senator Plumb has intro
duced. and which is said to embody the
ideas Of Banker St John, may properly be
entitled an act to cheaper silver. 1t pro-
vides that when France, Belgium and Italy
shall open their minis to the free coinage
of silver upon the ratio known as the Latin
union ratio, which is 15h TO /, the Presi-
dent shall direct the Secretary of the Trea-
sury to devise a new American dollar to
contain 400 grains of silver of standard
fneness. This coinage shall be continued
until $500, 0,000 are coined, and after a
time the Treasury is to begin to purchase
our present issue of silver dollars at pre-
MUM of per cent. To definitely fix the
value of silver the Government is to limit
the price for the purchase of silver at one
dollar for $50 grains Of fine silver. Adding
10 per cent for alloy the standard silver
dollar would at this valuation of silver con-
tain 1896 grains of silver Possibly Mr.. st.
John threw in this bill to muddle the silver
question as much as possible. Silver stands
at present ON the fact that except the five
years between 1873 and 1873, the present
dollar has been full legal tender since the
meeting of the first Congress. The st.
John proposition is to increase the silver
In the standard dollar by 87s grains, max
ing it contain silver enough to be worth as
bullion as much as the gold in 25.S-grain
