THE Republican party will find that at
the coming election II will be seriously
handicapped by two great drawbacks
the high-handed conduct of Speaker
Reed and the high-reller war tariff, with
extensions of Napoleon KcKinley.
Judge, in a recent cartoon, represents
Mckinley, with a frontispiece copied
from the great Casican, charging over
ditch and fence in gallant style. Lower
down in the ditch Roger @. Mills and
his war-steed are pictured as rolling in
the food of mire and water. THIS is all
very well; but, as a matter of fact,
while Mr.. Mckinley may sueoeed in
getting his bill through the house OF
representatives, it by no means follows
that it will 60 through the senate. And
even if it should, there is the celebrated
last ditch, in which the people will
plunge the trainers of this iniquitous
measure. The preliminary canter and
trial jump are but the scoring which
leads up to the final struggle-that in
which the people sit in the judges box
and award the prize of victory. The
Messrs. Allison, Ingalls, and others have
had their note of warning, and they will
in all likelihood give the bill such a
thorough going-over that Mckinley him
self won't know it.
Los Angeles herald., 1890-06-04

MANY Republican papers are be-
ginning to see thatif satisfactory silver
bill is not passed at this session of con-
sfess Il viii result disastrously to their
party. Public sentiment all over the
country, and especially in the great
western states, is very pronounced in
favor of free coinage, or in default Of
that of the passage of the bill to increase
the silver coinage to $4,500,000 per
month. If both these measures fail, the
Republican party will be held RESPONSE
bic for it. When party has entire
control OF the government in all it's
branches, it can offer no excuse that
will be accepted for failure to pass
measures that the great mass of the
country strenuously demands. This is
eminently the case with silver legisla-
ton. The opposition comes from the
money changers and the creditor class
that is from one man in hundred, but
that one man almost equal in power to
the hundred by virtue of the money he
has been enabled to grasp through flag
itious legislation.

THE board of education will discuss at
its next meeting the question of shorten
ing the summer school vacation from
three to two months. 1t must be
admitted that three months is very
long period for the children to be out of
the school every year. To those fam
lies who can afford to spend the summer
at the seaside or in the mountains it
may not appear long; but the great
ma ajogity cannot do so, and to have their
children out of school, and perhaps in
the streets-unlearning a great deal of
what they had previously learned, and
learning a great deal which it would be
better they should not KNOWS source
of much serious concern to them. If
the board can see its way clear to
shorten the vacation and get through
the year on the funds available, it would
be an act of wisdom to do so. No city
in the state has so long school vaca-
tion. In San Francisco it only lasts six
weeks, and in San Diego and Sacramento
two months is the limit.

WHETHER the Chinese go or not, some
of their customs-such as the horrible
slave trade revealed in the rescue of an
imprisoned girl yesterday-must be
stamped out.-[New York World.
'Must be stamped out" is easier said
than done. California has been trying
to stamp it out for over thirty years,
and it is more flagraDt today than ever.
When the east has had as much expe-
rience with "the ways that are dark and
the tricks that are vain" of the "heathen
Chinee," they will agree with us that
the race is very peculiar. What can
you do with a people whom no oath will
bind and whose morals are at war with
every principle of occidental civilization ?
Wherever they get footing they form
an insoluble and indigestible mass in
the body polite. They have their own
laws and their own tribunals, and prac-
tically set up government within a
government, and the more you seek to
reach it and crush it, the more it evades
YOU.

AMIDST the excited bosh over certain
speeches and acts at Richmond, over
which the Messrs. Ingalls, and Boutelle
talked themselves hoarse, it is pleasant
that on Memorial day in Los Angeles
there was perfect accord between the
blue and the gray, and that each could
indulge in "reminiscences of the war with
out bitterness. Neither was there here
any OF the hectic oratory which recalled
the old days of the bloody shirt. One of
the most striking instances of the abso-
lutte way in which southerners can ap-
proach the consideration Of the living,
present issues, was afforded by the elab-
crate decoration of the store of Mr.. B. F.
Coulter, who represents the dead con-
federacy as fully as any man in Los
Angeles, and which fairly blazed with
union flags, the display Of bunting out
shining that of any other establishment
in Los Angeles. Notwithstanding the
enyenomed flights of the oratory of the
Ingallses and Boute]les, the southern

feet, is minutely described. The mys-
teries of the boudoir as we'll as the riches
of the drawing room are graphically set
forth in language and illustrated with
cuts. There may be class of people
who want this kind of stuff, but to the
general reader very little OF it will go
long way. When Tessie's mother
was married to her father at Murphy's
Camp in pioneer days, the Calaveras
Chronicle spread itself in five lines Of
mere mention. Metropolitan journal
ism has introduced great innovations
since those primitive and natural times.
Whether the world is the better for it we
doubt. Literature certainly is not.

The office of the county clerk will be-

toned to succeed Mr.. Dunsmoor are
Coroner Meredith, Councilman Hamil-
ton and Mr.. Frank B. Tanning. 1t is
said that their chances are in the order
named. The vacancy in the police COM
mission belongs to Democrat, and a

there is a revival among capitalists and
others to invest in realty. The sale he
presided over was successful one, both
the acre and town-lot property selling at
good figures. The desire of capital to
invest in realty is a good sign, and it
will be very apt to spread this way. 1t

The Silver Men Confident of Success.

special Washington dispatch of June
1st says:
A leading advocate of silver coinage
spoke as follows this evening when asked
for his views of the situation: "a
straight, free coinage bill will carry in
both houses, unless caucus can COM
pei a more moderate measure. The
friends of silver will not now consent to
anything less than the purchase of A.
500,0 900 ounces a month, certificated at
the coinage value, the certificates to be
legal tender and redeemable in coin.
and the opposition will be only too glad
by concurring in SO much to head off
free coinage.
''The silver men, confident OF popular
support, are becoming more exacting,
and declare that in case of a veto they
will call national mass silver conven-
ton, say at Indianapolis, before the
next congressional nominating conven-
tions are held, and joining forces with
the grangers, farmers alliances and la
Dor unions, get such a congress as will
not submit to executive dictation.
cat no period of the agitation have
the silver men been more determined,
confident and aggressive than now.
They declare that no one can answer or
will dare to attempt to answer their
arguments ON the floor of the senate or
the house, and will only make senile
remonstrance against what they call ex-
treme measures and in favor of coming
to it gradually, admitting full restora-
.tion of silver in this country to be an
irrepressible popular demand, and con-
senting for themselves to be filed away
as back numbers till the calamities they
predict silver will infict on the country
will enable them to say 1 told you So
The silver men, in the absence of rea-
sons, deride their predictions and deny
them the poor comfort of that dotard's
| hOOe,"

INDUSTRIES THAT CAN BE BUILT UP
HERE.

There is no discounting the fact that
fuel is dear here, and that this handi-
caps us in many lines of industry, pre-
venting us from competing with estab-
lishments set up where coal is as cheap
as dirt. In the future, when the coal
fields of Southern Utah and the natural
gas of our own section shall be obtainable
to propel machinery, things will change
in this respect. But we have not to
await even these developments. There
are industries in which we have as large
advantages as the iron manufacturers of
Pennsylvania have in cheap coal.
There is large mineral region close to
our gates, the raw products OF which are
heavy and expensive to haul to the
smelters and refneries. 1t would be
cheaper to haul coal here to run a
reduction plant than it is to
haul the ore away to be refined.
This is region where great deal Of
stock is raised, and where more than is
vet raised is slaughtered. Hides are
nearly as heavy as coal, and after haul
ing these products Of the section away
to be tanned the leather has to be hauled
back here in some shape. A tannery
ought to be set up here to tan all the
hides we now ship away. With tan
nery would come at once large harness
and saddle establishment, to be followed
a little later by trunk factory and
still later by shoe factory. Then
there are all sorts of small articles OF
daily consumption by the people gener-
ally whose making requires very little
power. This country abounds in pretty,
durable and strong woods, which might
very we'll be worked into buttons. Sus-
penders are made without any very
large use of power in comparison with
! the value of the work produced.
Then in the products of fruits, in
pickles and vinegar, no section of any
country has near the advantages we
possess. There is very little fuel neces-
sary in the production of long list OF
articles in these lines, the raw material
for which abounds here. Fine jellies,
Jams, marmalades and conserves to sup
ply the world ought to be
made here. The establishment OF
such industries would call for
glass factory to blow bottles, and a
pottery plant to make jars. Fine pickles
could be made here with great success
The mustard, salt and vinegar can all bt
made out of the products of our soil
These will increase the demand for glass
and earthenware, and give more work
here at home.
The industries glanced at above may
easily be reinforced by others. Dairying
ought to be increased tenfolG
over its present status. We
ought to make cheese for al
the section and have enough to supply
all the adjoining territories. And there
are numerous other lines where the EN-
ployment Of capital in a conservative
and skiliful manner would bring il
large returns. Then the development o
each OF these industries will strengthen
and create room for the expansion O
each Cf the others. No mfan of insigh
can look over this field with all its grea
and various resources in state of en-
tireiy latent possibility, or of only initia
development, and doubt that it is tn,
best arena in the country for the EN-
ployment of capital.

THE Mexicans are becoming restive at
the large number of Chinese coming to
their country and spreading themselves
throughout Mexico, superseding the
natives in all kinds of labor. 1t is very
likely that opposition to Chinese cheap
labor will soon become general cry
amongst the working classes of Mexico,
and that the administration will find it
expedient to adopt measures of exclu-
sion. If our neighbors should do this,
it will solve the perplexing problem OF
guarding our boundary line from the
illicit passage of Chinese into the United
