Denounced.
An Ohio Statesman Says 1t Is
a Conspiracy.

Speech in the House.

Indian Appropriation Bill I'm

Associated Press Dispatches.
WASHINGTON, March 30.-The Springer
free wool bill was denounced in the
house today as conspiracy between the
cotton raisers at the south and the wool
manufacturers of the north. to enrich
themselves at the expense of the pros
perity of the nation. This charge was
made by Representative j. D. Taylor, of
Ohio, and will doubtless be the subject
of some vigorous retorts from the Demo-
Gratis. Beyond this utterance, the tariff
discussion today was without unusual
interest
Busler, OF Iowa, made his maiden
speech on the tariff, and although sharp
ly questioned by several Republicans,
maintained himself with credit.
1t is settled that this week will close
the general discussion on the bill, and
Chairman Springer himself will prob
ably appear Monday with motion to
suspend the rules for it's passage.
Butler, in his speech, contended that
the price of no article of consumption
was ever decreased one cent by the pro.
tective tariff, and that protection has
not resulted in an increase of the wages
of workingmen. He was free trader.
The only way for nation to become the
center of wealth was to become the CEN
ter of the worlds trade. There should
be no tax on trade, except what is
necessary to meet the necessities OF the
government economically administered.
Taylor in the course of his speech
mentioned above said inside of ten years
the south would be demanding protec-
tion for its cotton, as the people OF Ohio
today asked protection for their wool.
He predicted that free wool would be
followed by free woolens, as in England,
and the people would resent this con-
spiracy between the cotton raisers of the
south and the wool manufacturers of
the north, to enrich themselves at the
expense of the common prosperity. He
closed with an eloquent defense of the
Mckinley act.
Layton of Ohio and Crosby of Massa-
chusetts favored the bill.
The latter congratulated the country
that under tariff reform the Republican
majority of 900 In Massachusetts, had
been so reduced that Massachusetts to-
day was a doubtful state.
A recess was taken until evening.

SENATE PROCEEDINGS,

Mills Sworn In-The Indian Appropria.
tion Bill Under Consideration.
WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator
elect Roger @. Mills OF Texas appeared
in the senate today and presented his
credentials. He took the oath of Office
and was warmly congratulated.
Dolph, from the committee on foreign
relations, introduced a bill providing
for the punishment of persons violating
the treaty rights of aliens. The bill
was suggested by the Italian troubles at
New Orleans last year. 1t went on the
calendar.
Stanford of California addressed the
senate in support of the bill introduced
by him to determine the value of the
legal tender dollar.
The Indian appropriation bill was
taken up, and the discussion begun last
week on the subject of army officers
being assigned to the duties of Indian
agents resumed.
Pettigrew opposed the proposition
and argued that army officers did not
possess the necessary qualifications.
Proctor replied that he thought if
there had been three or four army Off
GERS at Pine Ridge agency, the late
haooUiCo tiicIc WOull uOI nave occurred,
and millions of dollars and the lives
that were lost been saved.
Hawley favored the proposition of the
assignment OF army officers, and Man
derson expressed the belief that with
army officers as Indian agents the era of
bad blankets, shoddy clothing and ran
cid bacon would be at an end.
Hawley moved to amend the house
provision by adding to it the proviso
that whenever the president shall be of
the opinion that the good of the service
specially requires it, he may appoint a
civilian.
The discussion was finally closed by
Dawes, in argument against the house
provision, as being a radical change in
the administration of the Indian service.
Ii civil places were wanted for army
officers, why not put them in the Gus.
toms service, which was rotten, or the
land office service, which has been rife
with political hucksters in the western
country.
Hawley's amendment was agreed to.
and without reaching a vote on the
amendment to strike out the provision.
the senate adjourned.

Root said the only thing in the in
dictment which could be coDjectured as
furnishing ground for the charges, are
the rebate contracts. He explained the
principle of the rebate, and said the
company was willing to sell to any body
on these terms, and asked if that con-

The essential idea of property is monop-

the defendants produced too much. As
well might the grand jury have indicted
the great merchants, because by offer

WE have met some of the returned
delegates to the convention of the Dem
ocratic clubs at San Francisco, and they
say that the president of the conven-
tion, Mr.. j. R. Glasscock, expressed
deep regret at the mistake that oc-
Cured in the selection of committees at
the early stage of the session, and that
he and the leading members from the
northern part of the state were willing
to do anything in their power to rectify
the error. The southern delegates were
requested to say just what thev
wanted and it should be granted.
The spirit of the convention was
conciliatory and entirely in the in
terest of harmony, and the Los
Angeles delegates remained in full fell
lowship with the delegates from the
north to the end of the session. We are
glad to learn this. We had feared that
there was set determination on the
part of the northern delegates to use
their power arbitrarily. But it seems
that our correspondent came to hasty
conclusions, and misapprehended the
real feelings of the northern Democrats
towards the men who made SO gallant
fight in this section of the state for the
ticket at the last election.

In CONVERSATION with an old fisher
man yesterday, he said that the fish
market here is in the hands of a combi-
nation which makes the consumers pay
an exorbitant price for the fish they
buy. While the consumer pays a round
price, the fisherman ia pinched down to
the merest pittance, and, in order to do
this, the introduction of catches from
San Diego and other distant points is
encouraged SO as to glut the market and
act repressiyely ON the home fish
ermen. By this process the "com-
bine" closes the market to good
fresh fish and opens it to fish that
IRE caught hundreds of miles away, and
consequently comparatively stale. We

ers, but he cannot get stall in either

should the Los Angeles consumer pay

A VERY LOOSE KIND.O HONESTY.

A gentleman named Gibson has been
sent to San Francisco by the treasury
department to investigate the COM
plants about the proposed postofice
site in that city, and to ascertain from
the citizens all facts that can be gath
cred in connection Herewith. The de-
partment is particularly desirous of
knowing whether the price asked for the
land is a reasonable one. Here is
specimen of the kind of views some
people have about dealing with the
government:
Charles G. Hooker, president of the
First National Gold bank, said he
thought the Mission site was the best
one in the city. Prior to making an
affidavit he declared that there was no
such another place, and that the gov
ernment must expect to pay more for
property than individuals.
'What estimate would you place on
this property as a private purchase ?"
asked Agent Gibson.
''Six hundred Thousand dollars,'' said
Mr.. Hooker promptly. "This is what
it would be worth as a private invest
L
think s1,O40,O0O is cheap enough
If Mr.. Hooker's views represent cor
rectly the kind of morality that prevails
amongst men who deal with the govern
ment, it is no wonder that there is a grow
ing tendency abroad to rob the country
whenever there is chance to do so.
Here is one of San Francisco's most
respectable and substantial citizens, who
actually lays down the extraordinary
doctrine that it is no viola
ton of the canons of honesty to
rob the government; for what else is If,
but to rob the government to make it
pay $1,040,000 for land which is only
worth $60O,000? Mr.. Hooker would feel
greatly shocked and offended if he were
told that it would not be considered 80
grave crime to steal from a bank cor
poration as from a private individual;
yet it is exactly to this kind of morality
that the doctrine he lays down leads.
Let us formulate the principle: To cheat
the government is right; but to cheat
private individual is criminal; to cheat
corporation is commendable but
to cheat private individual is
reprehensible-to cheat rich man is o
peccadillo, but to cheat poor man is
an objectionable crime. Is it to be
wondered at that the moral ideas of
great numbers of what Mr.. Hooker
would call the common people" are
out of joint, when man occupying his
exalted position can deliberately give
expression to principles SO at variance
with proper conception of what
constitutes common honesty? When
we overlook the fact that stealing is
stealing, whether it be from the govern
ment, from bank or from an individ-
ual, we strike at the very foundation of
society, and SOW seeds that will turn
into dragons teeth.
