necessities of life. The wages of workingmen win
not go far they would few weeks ago by about

American labor. The following press dispatch shows

CONTRACT LABOR COMING

for weeks feeling their ground, began to move
through the great manufacturing towns in the mid
land, Offering skilled workmen inducements to emil

The result of their labors far is clearly seen in

ATTORNEY-GENERAL.
WALK Err G. GRAVES

A graduate of the Law
Department of the Uni
versity of Kentucky, and
aleader among the younger
members of the bar. AS
Assistant District Attorney
Of San Francisco he had
charge of many important
cases, involving jury brib-
ing, embezzlement Of pub
lie funds, violation of
election laws, etc., and in
nearly all of them he
secured convictions. In
many instances the de-
PENDANTS in these cases
were men of wealth, and
OF strong social and po-
litical influence, and they
were defended by the
ablest criminal lawyers in
the State. These attorneys
invariably found the vigor,
courage and skill of Mr..
Graves q match for all
their resources. During
his service in the District
Attorneys . ,ffice, Mr..
Graves acquired a wide
experience in the practice
of the criminal law before
the Superior Courts, and
the Supreme Court as well.
OF the numerous appeals
tried by him before the
latter body, he was sue
cessful in all in which the
record on appeal had been
prepared by him, except
in two or three instances
in which reversals were
secured on purely juris-
dictional grounds.

J. ID. SPENCER

A Pioneer. Came to
California in 1849. Elected
to the Assembly in 1879.
Elected State Senator in
1882, and served with
honor for four years. Ap-
poinedi Clerk of the Su-
preme Court by Governor
Stoneman in 1885, and
elected for the full term in
the same year. Instituted
an immediate reform in
the Office, which had been
brought into disrepute by
his two immediate prede-
cessors. His five years.
service is the first period
since 1879 in which there
has been no scandal or de-
falcation in the depart
ment. The work OF the
Office has greatly increased
under his administration,
but there has been no in
crease of cost to the pub
lie. The methods have
been completely systema-
tized, and are thoroughly
convenient and satisfac-
tory to litigants. A new
man would need at least
q year to become familiar
with the business of the
Office, in which time the
interests of the public
would be sure to suffer.

WASHINGTON CITY, Dec AFTER n
short but lively debate on the Indian ques-
ton, in which Voorhees, charged that the In
dams were being starved into hostilities.
Dawes denied the statement, and Pierce
said that the red man seemed to get more
hungry as well as more noble the further
people got away from him llaughter],
the senate yesterday took up the federal
election bill, and Dawes waived his right
to open the debate. saying that he would
content himself with answering whatever
objections the other side should urge
against the measure.
Turpfe begins the Discussion.
Turpie thereupon opened the discussion
In opposition. The substitute measure,
he said, rested for its support on what was
called the suppressed colored Republican
vote in the south. The returns from the
election showed an abstinence from
voting much greater in Massachu-
sets and other northern states
than elsewhere There had been a sup
preston "a suppression patent, well
know, undeniable and widely prevalent.
The recent census would show that In the
states Of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois
there were about 10000 colored people;
yet in those states no colored man had ever
served as governor or been elected 10 any
department Of the state government There
had been not only no proportional division
OF the ofiices-there had been none at all.
Declares the Bill Unconstitutional.
The suppression Of the colored vote in
the south was thing manifestly in ques-
ton, affirmed on one side and denied ON the
other, but the suppression of the colored
voter OF the north was thing without
question-actual, absolute, unconditional.
He then proceeded to make a constitutional
argument against the power of congress to
pass a law regulating the election Of repre-
sentatives In the lower house of congress.
Not having this power itself, it could not
delegate il to federal election boards.
Should this bill become law the investor
would find In many places in the south,
not dividends and income, but chilled fur
naces, idle mills, and smoking ruins. At
theconclusion OF Turpie's speech the senate
at 3:25 adjourned.
VIII Try TO Talk to II Death.
Immediately after the senate adjourned
the Democratic senators held a caucus to
decide upon course of action in regard to
the federal election bill. The caucus was
well attended and the matter was fully
discussed 1t was announced after the
caucus had adjourned that the Democratic
senators would continue as at present and
debate the bill fully and fairly and in this
way try TO defeat it. This means that an
effort will be made 70 prolong the debate
with the object of defeating the bill.
