years, and the nation kept up constant
development and growth in prosperity.
Since 1878 all evils that curse a people
have been in a rapid state of develop

appalling. And the gold-bugs tell us
that free silver will bring disaster. vet
there has been no free silver since 1878.

Who saved the day for free silver
in the house? When 81 democrats and
Il republicans bowed down to this idol
ef gold, the nine incorruptible men of
the peoples party stood firm to the
last. Had they been governed only
by party policy, as the democrats
say they are, our nine could have de-
clined to vote and thus thrown upon the
democrats the odium of defeat. But no.
they stood firm for a measure intro

had sold out to British gold Down

stand by its observation-disclosures.

The attempt of Congressman Hart.
err, of Ohio, to enlist the G. A. r. against
the free coinage of silver, is the move

AWAY WITH 1T.
Tie Tariff Must Give Way For More Sci,
entiiic Method of Taxation.


II the necessary expenditures of the
government are TO continue TO be pro-
vided for by duties on imports, no well
informed person of any party can
justly claim that the present schedule
can be materially reduced. The Me-
Kinley bill provided for about all
the reduction that can be made
and the necessary revenues of the
government be maintained. This fact
was recognized by the democratic
party in the famous Mills bill. which
proposed about the same reduction as
that actually effected by the Mckinley
bill. True, there was a slight difference
in the details of the two bills, but so far
as either principle or results are actually
concerned, that difference is not mate
rial. This pretense of an issue between
the republican and democratic parties
upon the tariff question is too trans
parent to deceive anybody. 1t is mere
ly an agitation of dust to blind the eyes
of the people to other issues.
The whole tariff system is a fraud
from top to bottom. 1t is tax levied

The Georgia bourbons announced with
a flourish of trumpets that Livingston,

BOB CARTER A WINNER
THE REDoNDo TOURNAMENT DRAW
ING To A CLOSE.
Miss Gilleland Wins the Ladies' Singles.
The Doubles VIII Be Pushed To-
Day-Society Folks Present.

The Redondo tournament was we'll
attended yesterday. The fact that Bu-
miller and Garter were to battle for the
championship drew out many of the
tennis enthusiasts who have heretofore
kept in the background. The match
was called at 2:30 O'Clock.
Among those present were: Misses
Tufts, Cochran, Bonsall, Jevne, Routh,
Graham, Gilliland, Shoemaker, Draper,
Finley and Gorham, Mesdames Bonsall,
Crosby, Gorham, Burke, Choteau, DR..
and Mrs. German, Mr.. and Mrs. r. P.
Widney, Joe Patrick, Guy Cochran, Ed
Tufts, Emil Quarre, A. G. Way, Merle
Manning, John Griffith, J. J. Aiken
and many others.
At 2 80, Art Bumiller and Robert Car
ter appeared on the courts. 1t was
very soon demonstrated that Art Bu-
miller, the pride of Los Angeles tennis
dom, was outclassed by Bob Carter.
The Los Angeles yonngster made gal
liant try, but be was not in it
with Garter, who played in his
best form and gave an exhibition
of skilful and scientific tennis which
was enjoyed by the critical audience
present. Garter secured the first set in
straight games. In the next Bumiller
rallied and won the first game, but the
steady placing of Carter was simply ir-
resistible and Bumiller never after
wards even won game, the score being
6-8. 6-1 and 60.
1t was shown that Robert Garter was
facile princeps of all players in Southern
California.
The ladies' singles was also concluded
yesterday. Miss Gilliland was fortunate
enough to draw bye. Miss Shoemaker
beat Mrs. Choteau, 81, 60.
Miss Shoemaker and Miss Gilliland
played for the first prize, and royal
contest it was. Miss Shoemaker played
in admirable form. In fact, the young
lady put up such a strong game that she
came very near defeating Miss Gill;
land, who has held the championship
since Miss Carter went to England.
Miss Gilliland won the first set. The
second was captured by Miss Shoe
maker. The third and deciding set was
hotly contested and was closely watched
by all the spectators. Mas Gilliland
triumphed by score of 6 to 4. This
proved to be the best match of the tour
nament, and Miss Shoemaker was con-
graduated on the fine showing she
made against such strong opponent.
The doubles will be concluded today.
In the semi-fnals yesterday Butcher
and Singleton beat Crosby and Germain
GA, g. 5. The Los Angeles team did not
play their usual dashing game, and
Germain appeared to be all at sea.

Run Down by an Aronclad and Seven
Passengers Killed.
PARIS, July S.-The transatlantic
steamer Marechal Canrobert, has been
sunk in collision with the French
ironclad Hoche, off Planier, nine miles
southwest Of Marseilles. Eighty-fve
passengers were on the deck of the Can
robert watching the mannuvers, when
the Hoche, which ia the flag ship of the
squadron, crashed into her side. Owing
to the dense smoke caused by the
firing of the guns of the war ships
the officers of the Hoche did not see the
Canrobert until it was too late to avert
the disaster. The shock of the colli-
sion was terrific. The Canrobert was
fastened in all haste to the ironclad to
prevent her from sinking. while her pas
sengers were being transferred to the
war ship. Immediately after the Can
robert was detached from the Hoche she
gave lurch and disappeared beneath
the waves. Seven passengers were lost.
1t is supposed they were killed by be-
ing struck by the ram of the Hoche
