CALIFORNIA AFFAIRS.


SAN DIEGO, Augu1t 30, 1890.
EDITOR INTELLIGENCER:-- Here in |
California we think it is the year Tor
democrats to carry the state from top |
to bottom-tO win, and flax out the
despoilers, root aud branch. You will
understand that by money shuttle and
blocks.of- five, California, with several
other states, was counted for the old
pretender Harrison. IL is not believed
that the approaching election will
result just that way III November. The
people of California have learned
little something since Mr.. Harrison
smiled himself in through the money of
other men, not better or worse than
himself The parties have out their
tickets, except Tor congressman, a few
districts not having as yet named their
candidates, but will do so even before
YOU can print this letter. These are
more easily named than elected though
we hope to elect most of them.
| The democrats have formulated a
most excellent platform, including and
c overing all contingencies, leading
feature of which is proposed reduc-
ton of state tax to iorty- five cents on
the hundred dollars, which the conven-
tion declared ample to meet the wants
of the state. The republicans declare
for fifty cents, while the state board OF

lower rate of taxation. The tickets

For governor, the democrats have a
good ticket, headed by Hon. f. B.

MISSOURI EDITORS.
Wha. They are saying In Their
Papers,

Editor Southern, of the Independence
Sentinel, sounds this note of warn
ing:
at is reported, and the report is be-
lieved by many, that the republicans OF
Missouri propose to trade oil every |
other office in the coming election in
order to secure majority in the next
legislature. If Mr.. Filley, chairman
of their state committee, can secure
majority in the legislature, he hopes
TO be elected United States senator.
All good, true democrats should be
alert to the above scheme, and see
that good democrats are nominated
throughout the state for the legisla-
ture, and then refuse to trade. u.
&. Vest is the choice of the people OF
Missouri for the United States senate,
and with the proper management the
people will be able TO retain their
choice"
This is in line with What the Intel
ligencer has said at greater length, and
with a number of similar articles in
other newspapers evidences the fact
that II will be well for democrats to be
alert and on their guard.
Editor Stratton, of the Marshall
News Democrat, sizes up the situation
in the llth district tersely in the fol-
lowing:
| "The republicans OF the eleventh dis
trict have put up Mr.. Erwin, of Cal
laway, to run against Dick Bland for
congress, but there is no danger of the
district disgracing itself by retiring a
representative who has served his con-
stituents 80 faithfully and efficiently as
Las Silver Dick"
Editor Cochrane. of the st. Joseph
Gazette, speaks of the force bill in this
way:
"BOiled down, divested of all con-
ceGlments, the federal election law is q
measure intended TO hand over the
southern states to the negro. TO dc
this the followers of Mr.. Reed propose
to place the ballot box in the hands O
partisan election super visors. The
polls are to be surrounded by cordons
OF salaried mercenaries, empowered to
SIT In Judgment upon all questions aris
ing, armed with authority unkno WI tl
state election officers, and not resLOnsi
bic to the communities or voters upoI
whom they are to be Obtruded for th'
abuse OF these extraordinary powers
That partisan madness should 90 t(
such pitch is enough to alarm the
country"
Editor j. K. Brandon, of the Fulloi
Sun, Mr.. Erwin's own county, looks a
the situation this way:
"The republicans OF this COMPRESSION
al district met in Jefferson City, las
Wednesday, and after denouncing tn
democratic party in general and Il. p
Bland in particular, nominated our fol
low citizen, John l.. Irwin, to lead th
republicans of the district in the rae

A GOOD SIZED DEFICIENCY.
Evidence Accommodating That the

From The 81. Louis RepublIc.l !

From the 81. LOUIS kepuDhc.l
The recent discussion in the press
and in congress as to the financial COLI
di;ium di the government is stirring up
great deal of unpleasant uneasiness
among the republican hosses.
Mr.. Dockery, of Missouri, a member
OF the honse committee on appropria-
tions, who has devoted great deal of
attention TO the subject and who under
stands the finances of the government,
present conditions and future prospects
as well as any man in congress, said TO
the Republic correspondent recently in
answer to some pointed questions:
.sThe total estimated revenues for
the current fiscal year, including postal
receipts, will aggregate, according to
the secretary OF the treasury, $3.50, 4l4,-
| 337 81. The permanent appropriations
for the same period are S10l, ,62S ,453,
and when to this is added thu annual
appropriations, estimated by 5 nat0r
| AIlis ~, chairman OF the senate COM
mittec cn appropriations, at $3.50, ,652,-
S4l, ", lind total expenditure for the
fiscal year ending June so, next, S46l,-
.294, thus making a deficiency OF
SIC, SGT, $50 &c. This estimate of ex-
pcnditures is exclusive of the deficiency
on account OF pensions which is certain
to aggregate at least $40 ,0OO,OOO. me
regular annual pension appropriation
bin for the current year only cerried
sos S.457 ,i6l, whereas the expenditure
on the same account daring the fiscal
wear inst closed amounted TO Sl07,-
$50 COZ 50. 1t thus appears that there
" i'll he deficiency based on the ex-
pcndiurc of the last year for pensions
on this account of SS,623 l46 So. The
estimated expenditure under the de-
pendent pension bill will he. at least
$50 900 900 and under the total dis
ability pension bill S425, 600. These
three items constitute the deficiency OF
account of pensions, which, as | have
stated, will almost certainly aggregate
S45 900, 900.
There is therefore, no escape IRON
, deficiency for the present year unless
the river and harbor bill, tho tortifca
I, tons and subsidy bills should be aoan
doneu, or the purchase of bonds sus
pendcd and the surplus now on haho
j. used TO prevent deficiency"
