THEY ALL LIKE 1T.
Good Men Of All Parties Commend the
Herald's Honest Course.

EDITORS HERALD A little whole
some praise is not likely to turn the
heads of editors, and, if worthily be-
slowed, becomes to them a stimulating
pride, of which they are no more exempt
from than those of other professions.
You will allow me, therefore, to con-
grstulate you, and approve of the inde-
pendent and honorable course you have
pursued through our city elections, and
your party may well thank you for
saving them from the disgrace they
were threatened with. And not only your
party, but all well wishers for the contin-
ued prosperity of our fair city. For to you
in a great measure belongs the credit.
Though Republican, | am not so
blind that | cannot see merits in man
or measure if they do happen to be in
the opposite party. The course you
have taken will draw more honest men
from our party than horde of un-
scrupulous politicians could have done.
1t has begotten confidence in you by
the people that will be lasting, and has
strengthened the faith of those that be-
gan to doubt as to there being any hon
esty left in politics.
And, by the way, would like to call
aUCeHClOn 10 an artlcle OF yours tnaJ ap-
peared in the HERALD December 10th,
"Who Ought to Be Our Legislators"
There is SO much good sound sense in
it that it ought to be published in such
way that it would reach every reading
and thinking person. Every PROPOSE
ton is true, and it is so clearly set forth
that to read it is to convince one of its
merits. One item in it, you refer to the

they should treat OF the science OF gov
ernment, to the intent that when our
sons become voters they may fully un-
derstand what they are voting for
And you might have wisely said,
"Then allow no one tc vote until he has
been a citizen the required twenty-one
years of our sons, and also understands
what he is voting for.''

WAS 1T FOUL PLAY?
A San Francisco Detective Found Dea
on His Beat.

A San Francisco Detective Found Dead
on His Beat.
SAN Francisco, Dec. 1.-THE dead
body of Detective James Hutton was
found in Jefferson square, this morning,
by Patrick O'Connor, the gardener in
charge of the park. At the back of his
head was q bloody cash, apparently
made by blow with blunt weapon.
Captain Lees, chief of the detective
force, stated that Hutton had been de-
tailed to watch that section of the city
for thieves during the early morning
hours, and apparently had been killed
by blow from behind.
John CLAM, painter, one Of the first
to find Hutton's body, stated that life
was not extinct when the body was
found, but that Hutton died on reach
ing the receiving hospital. He, together
with two others, whom he notified on
the discovering OF the body, testified
that they believed that Hutton had been
murdered and then carried to the spot
where found, as there was no sign Of a
struggle near by.
Two of the detectives put on the case
incline to the theory that Hutton re-
ceived his wound from fall.
The deceased was 60 years of age. His
family resides in Alameda. A married
daughter resides at Seattle, and a son at
Tacoma. A married daughter died at
Los Angeles some time ago, from the
result of burns.
Hutton joined the police force in 1873,
and in 1884 was put on detective duty.
He was native of Maine.

Hammond the Victim of a Conspiracy
He Is Convicted of Larceny
at Seattle.
Associated Press Dispatches.

SEATTLE, Dec. 17.-Charles b. Ham
mond, OF fCleveland-street, London, fame,
was today convicted in the superior
court of grand larceny. Recent devel-
opments in the case indicate that Ham
mond is the victim of a conspiracy, of
which Alexander Todhunter is at the
head. Todhunter is supposed to be an
English detective, and failing to get
Hammond on British soil, charged him
with stealing seal skin sacque from
Mrs. Augusta Simons, whom Todhunter
induced to visit Hammond's saloon.
Hammond claims that there is $3.50, 900
at his disposal on deposit at the Bank of
California and other banks. The
amount has thus been placed by
wealthy Englishmen as hush money.
Hammond has been in Seattle
more than a year, and has abundant
means. He refuses to talk, but admits
having threatened to return to London.
He says parties there are trying to pre-
vent his return, and in order to do so.
had Todhunter trump up charge
against him. He expects to get new
trial, and says he will return to London
and take the consequences, but he re-
fuses to betray the men who patronized
his Cleveland-s house.

AS GOOD AS ORANGES.
Winter Tomatoes, Green Peas ant
Strawberries.


The people of the east are this year
enjoying new delights of the table,
thanks to California. For more than a
month past Wells, Fargo & Co.'s ex-
press has been carrying very large
amount of tomatoes, green peas and
ripe strawberries to many points at the
east. New York is the principal point
where these commodities are sold. A
dispatch from the metropolis of the
continent received here yesterday
quoted fresh tomatoes, in good condi-
had been sold at 81 for a twenty-pound
crate. The last crate of strawberries
from whose sale returns were received
was $40 for thirty-pound crate. That
was from Kansas City. Quotations run
at about the same figures all over the
country.
This is really better than oranges. A
report was given in the papers the other
day to the effect that farmer in Eagle
Rock Valley had gathered twenty tons
of tomatoes from an acre of ground. In
twenty tons there are 10000 pounds.
If the grower gets only one-tsnth
of the New York quotations he receives
$4,000 for the crop of a single acre. At
10 cents pound for green peas there is
fortune in the crop; and if strawber-
ries retail for 6625 cents per pound in
Kansas City, the producer here ought
to get 25 cents, at which price he will
coin money.
These and many other crops that ma
ture in this climate all winter long can
be made worth more than gold mines to
the section There are a dOzen sucb
crops that one hardly knows which is
the best. Instead of going forward in
small parcels, as at present, they ought
to be sent out in not merely carload lots,
but by the train, and that daily. At 2
or cents per pound to the growers, there
are many fortunes in these crops.
Wells, Fargo q Co.'s people are doing
all in their power to aid the good work
along. The agent here is about sending
a crate of 80 pounds of the best strawber-
ries he can find in the market to swell
club in New York, to be put on the table
for the Christmas dinner of the club.

VICTORIA ITEMS.
Heavy Rains on Vancouver Island-A
Child's Painful Death.

VICTORIA, Dec. 1.-THE British bark
Mennock cleared today for London, Eng
land, with cargo of 30,SS2 cases OF
salmon.
A family named Young lost their
youngest daughter, under painful cir
cumstances. Mrs. Young had poured a
boiler Of scalding water into a tub on
the floor, preparatory to washing
clothes, when the child, stepping back
ward, stumbled and fell into the tub.
The child was so severely scalded that
she died a few minutes later.
Recent heavy rains on Vancouver
island have caused the low lying lands
in the neighborhood of Cowichian to be
flooded, and train coming to Victoria
from Nanaimo, had to travel over two
miles through two feet of water. The
Indians in the vicinity had to break
up camp and are travelling around the
submerged district in canoes. 1t is still
raining heavily in the neighborhood of
Cowichian, and fear is entertained that
if the water rises much higher, num-
ber OF barns and farmhouses will be
swept away. A big boom of logs, over
seven million feet, being driven down
the Cowichian, got out of the proper
channel, and will probably be lost.

The Oregon Senator and the
Elections Bill.
Eustis PrOpounds a Hard Ques-
tiOn to Him.
The WebfOOt Statesman Declines to
Be Catechised.
Ths House Passes the Reapportionment
Bill Without Amendment,
1877 to S2.
Associated Press Dispatches.

WASHINGTON, Dec. II. The morning
hours having expired without anything
of importance being done, the senate re-
sumed consideration of the elections
bill. Dolph resumed his speech of yes
terday upon the subject. Dolph held it
to be the duty of congress, with malice
towards none and with charity for ALL"
to exercise to the fullest extent its pow
ers under the constitution, to secure to
every citizen of the United States, ma
tive or foreign born, white or black,
rich OF poor, the free exercise of all his
rights under the constitution.
Eustis said he would put question to
the senator from Oregon, and would ask
q frank answer. The question was: If
the immigration of Chinese had not
been prohibited; if there were million
and a half of Cinnamon in Oregon who
had the right OF suffrage, and
who established in Oregon Chinese
state government, and il the people of
Oregon had overthrown that Chinese
government and re-established white
political supremacy, would he (Dolph)
In such case advocate the passage of q
law by congress, the intent and effect OF
which would be to encourage, stimulate
and sustain those Cinnamon in their eff
fort to recover the political power OF the
race.
Dolph said that was precisely the argu-
ment of man on the Democratic side
of the chamber.
Eustis-Will the senator answer my
question?
Dolph-I am not going to be inter-
rupted.
Eustis--But l request the senator
from Oregon to answer my question.
Dclph-I will answer it in my own
time, but will not stand up to be cate
chised. simply tell the senator from
Louisiana that the proposition is prepos-
ferrous. The Chinese do not ask to be-
come citizens of the United States, but
1 will tell the senator from Louisiana
that the people OF Oregon will never
raise hand against the government OF
the United States. They never will
fight against the flag OF their country.
Eustis persisted IN his efforts to have
his question answered more directly,
but without success.
Then Morgan took the floor and
quoted clause from the constitution of
Oregon, restricting suffrage to white
citizens, and a section from the statutes
of that state, prohibiting the intermar-
riage of whites and negroes, Indians or
Chinese, and closed with an exclama-
tion against hypocrisy.
After arguments against the bill by
Kenna, Reagan and Butler, Coke OBJ
tanned the floor and the senatr ad-
journed.

CALLED BACK.
An AbscOnder Surrenders Himself to
Avoid Prosecution,

PORTLAND, Dec. NV. II. Kennedy,
who for some time had been connected
with the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy railroad Office, in this city, left
the city suddenly yesterday, leaving
a number of unpaid bills. Among the
losers was Chief of Police Parrish, who
cashed check for Kennedy drawn on
the Merchants National bank. 1t was
found that he had purchased ticket to
Tacoma, and Chief Parrish telegraphed
to him to come back, or his arrest
would follow. He wired back that he
would come, providing he would not be
prosecuted. He was assured that his
arrest would not be effected, so, taking
the train, he arrived here this morning.
Chief Parrish says that he did not look
at the check, but he afterwards found
that Kennedy could not have secured
any money on it. Kennedy came here
from San Francisco about eight months
ago, and was employed for time by the
Southern Pacific company.
