AS late as Monday last the republican

that the republican party kept up its

THE taxpayers are getting aroused at
the lavish way in which municipal mat
tera are managed in this city, and will
hold meeting next Saturday evening
at Armory hall to discuss some very
much needed reforms. The question of
consolidating the assessors and tax col.
lector's offices OF the city and county, so
that there shall be but one official in
each Office to attend to the duties of as.
sessing and collecting the taxes for both
the city and county, will be presented
to the meeting. 1t is manifestly waste
of the taxpayers money to have two
sets of officers to do the very same work.
There are other reforms that will
be discussed. Amongst these is the
urgent one to take the ire and police
departments entirely out of politics.
We all know that the fire department
has been conspicuous in fashioning the
primary elections, and that it has not
confined itself to one party, but has used
its influence in both parties. Appoint
ments upon the police force have gone
by favor to such councilmen as would
support certain men as police commia-
sioners. No chief, however impaltially
he may wish to conduc6 his office, can
escape from these partisan influences.
The names appended to the call for the
are those of many of our heav-
lest and most reputable taxpayers, and
we hope to see the movement backed by
the whole com munity.

THE internationa al monetary conference

The international monetary conference
at Brussels opens today. Whether it
shall result in changing the views OF
any of the monometalist delegates or
not, the conference will cause a wide
and educating discussion on tie ques.
tion of a double standard. Great
Britain is the strongest opponent against
remonetizing silver; but large and in
fuential portion of the people Of that
country have opened their eyes to the
danger that besets the commercial and
financial world in depriving it of the
power and benefits of silver as a money
standard. Had not the Bank of France
come to the relief of the Bank of Eng
land at the time of the Barring failure
and loaned the latter SIS, 900, 900 in gold
there would have eusued general bank
ruptcy in Great Britain. At that time
it was shown that there was only 2%
per cent of gold available to meet the
call deposits OF the banks of the country.

A Coiored Statesman's Report on tho
Penitentiary System of Georgia.

A Coiored Statesman's Report on tho
Penitentiary System of Georgia.
ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 21.-Hon. w. II.
Styles, a colored member of the legisla-
tive committee on petitentiary, makes
public letter giving an account of the
deplorabls penitentiary system of the
state. Speaking Of the Dade coal mines,
where 1000 convicts are employed, he
says: "Upon entering we found that
great numbers were sick from having to
work in water in caves 800 feet under.
ground, where water trickles down upon
their heads, and where they stand in
water from ankle to knee deep all day
long. Others are mashed and crippled
by slate and coal which falls
upon them from the blaetings from
which they cannot escape. The gases
are 30 stagnating that it is utterly i'm
possible for the benighted convicts to
ever gee pure air to breathe. Some
were nearly naked and had to work and
sleep in the same meagre apparel in
their wet condition. There was q white
prisoner who said he knew they would
give him 'hell' when we left, but he did
not care if they did, for he would rather
be dead and in hell than be there, for it
could be no worse. 1t is impossible
for the committee to get the full infor-
nation, which is desired by the state, of
the condition of these sufferers, for fear
of their punishment when we are gone.
The food is too ecanty. In justice to
humanity, I declare that these things
ought not to be-"

AT the rate in which the returns of
the last election are being officially
counted, the work will not be finished
for some time yet. 1t may even be car
ried over to date when it will be too
late for the secretary of state to furnish
official returns of the vote on presiden-
tial electors to the electoral college On
the second Monday in January next.
The dilatory defects of the new ballot
law are ably seconded by the poky way
in which the count has been made both
here and in San Francisco. 1t is to be
hoped that the county clerks office will
get move on itself and give the people
the benefit of completed count before
the installation Of President Cleveland
takes place.

against him, and try by calumny
and bold invention to accomplish
what they cannot do in manly and
truthful assault on his reputation and
standing in this community. One
bright fellow advances the idea that this
is new city and that the old residents
should be kept out of part and lot in it's
government. How far such line of as
ssult will injure man who has lived all
the years of his manhood in our midst,
and whose record is open to the inspec-
ton of all, remains to be seen. Whilst
we do not believe that the mere fact of
being an old resident is merit that
should insure mans election, neither
do we believe that it should be an argu-
ment in favor of his defeat.

COULDN'T BEAR DEMOTION.

A Despondent Bookkeeper Kills His
Wife, Daughter and Himself.
MILWAUKEE, Nov. 2l.- William B.
Binder ahot his wife and little daughter
and himself. The affair occurred at the
home of the family, No. 876 Cambridge
avenue. When found, Mrs. Binder and
the little girl were still alive, but the
former died before physician arrived.
The LITTLE girl is still alive, but has a
bullet wound through her brain and
death is inevitable. All the victims
were shot behind the left ear, blowing
their brains out.
Binder, who was steady and respect
ed man, was bookkeeper for Leiders-
dorff & Co., tobacconists, whose works
were burned during the recent big fire.
A consolidation with the Merchants
tobacco works was effected few days
ago, and the thought that he would
have to accept a subordinate position in
the Office affected his mind. Binder was
about SO years of age. His wife was 80
and the child years old.

this protest, we know that the abandon

BY the Associated Press
HoMEsrEAD, Pa, Nov. 2l.-The strike
having been officially declared off, a
great rush was made this morning by
strikers to get back to work. As early
as 6 O'Clock the rush began, and it kept
the police busy handling the crowd. By
O'Clock the rush was over, but they
continued to 60 in twos and threes, and
this will doubtless be kept up for days
to come. A large number were turned
away, some with good prospects of se-
curing their positions in the near future,
while many were informed they would
be given no work under any circum-
stances. 1t is now plainly evident that
the black list is quite long, and those
whoee names appear on the list will be
forced to seek work elsewhere.
PITTsBURG, Pa, Nov. 2l.-Speaking of
the action of the Amslgamated lodges
declaring the Homestead strike off,
National Secretary Kilgallon oaid today:
The association is we'll satisfied with
the conduct of the men during the
struggle. While some features of the
contest were painful, the loyalty of the
men to the association and the conf
dence they reposed in each other, is
without a parallel in labor disputes.
From the start the men were masters of
their own destiny, and the association
has confined itself to assisting in every
possible way to bring about successful
termination of the struggle. II it has
not been able to do that, it does not re-
feet upon the power and influence OF
the organization. The case was one
where the vast accumulation of wealth
in the hands of the Carnegie company
swayed the line of battle III their favor.
The association will continue its con-
servative ways, and we have very good
reasons to believe the success which at
tended it before will + ollow it in the
future"
The report to the effect that the funds
of the association were misappropriated
was Indignantly denied by President
Garland, who said, if necessary, it could
be shown how every cent of the money
received had been expended.

THE Southern Pacific railroad now
reaches San Pedro street through Pine,
and goes along that street quite a dis
tance before it cuts across diagonally on
its way to Santa Monica. The company
has applied to the city council for the
privilege of laying double track along
Alameda street to the city limits, with
view to abandoning the Pine and San
Pedro street routes and crossing the
Briswalter vineyard below Washington
street until the straight route to Santa
Monica is reached. Three years ago,
when the railroad company pro.
posed to go via this same route, the
owner of the Briswalter vineyard asked
60 much for the right OF way through
his property that the Pine street route
was adopted despite its disadvantages
and the desire of the people along San
Pedro street that that thoroughfare
should be vacated by the company. But
now the owner of the Briswalter vine
yard has offered the company the right
Of way for nothing, and as it is the
shortest route for the company and the
most convenient for the public they pro-

THE mode Of warfare that is carried
on against the Democratic nominee for
mayor in certain quarters is simply dis
graceful. He is denounced in circulars
as the champion Of the water company,
when it is well known to his friends that
the quiet bat powerful influence OF that
company is exerted against him. Mr..
Rowan does not own dollar of stock in
that corporation, and is as independent
OF it as the Republicans claim his op-
ponent to be. 1t is to be expected that
the opposition will make a malta fight
