THE WANTON DESCENDANTS.
Many influential Relatives Still
Living in Rhode Island.

The NEWS mentioned a few days ago
letter which was written to Gov. Brown
asking for the address OF some descend
ant of the Colonial Governors Wanton of
this State, and mentioning the neglected
burial place of Edward Wanton, the
founder of the family in this country.
Gov. Brown asked the assistance OF Amos
Perry, the secretary of the RHODE
ISLAND Historical Society In find
ingtne Wanton descendants. AS none
of that name appeared to be living. Mr..
Perry found copy of the book, which
gives the history OF the family and the
names of the descendants. There are
about dozen families in the State to-day
which are the lineal descendants OF the
Wantons. among them the Dunnells, Of
PROVIDENCE and Pawtucket, the Hazards
of Newport, the Lymans, and many other
wealthy families.

Among
Our Own
People.

It Is rather early as vet to make any
predictions regarding the social gaieties
OF the coming winter. still there seems TO
be a growing feeling among the leaders
that society here is not all it might be
and in consequence there will probably
be more OF those elegant little dinners
given which are and have been this last
season so much in vogue In New York
and at Newport; whether there VIII pe
any increase in the larger entertain
ments remains to be seen.

Guisippe Concera Arrested for Assault
and Fined for Drunkenness.
Guisippe Concera, an Italian, was ar
raigned in the police court this morning,
charged with drunkenness, and was fined
s. and costs. Concera was arrested last
night for assaulting fellow-country-
man named Farnone with brick and a

against him he was held on the charge of
drunkenness.
1t is alleged that Farnone met Concera
on Ames street last night and was accused
by him of paying too close attention to
his (Concera's) wife. A wordy discussion

saulted with razor and brick, sustain
ing severe scalp wounds and other

Mr.. McBurney on Cholera.

The Rev. S. McBurney preached last
evening at the Asbury NJ. +. Church on
cholera and its relation to the Providence
OF God. He spoke in part as follows
"in connection with the cholera there
are two lessons to be learned, and first.
God hates uncleanliness. What is the
first cause OF Asatic choleraP Dirtiness
The plague originated in filth. III this
divine Judgment against dirt shall be
Needed good will result. II this cholera
scare should lead our authorities to
cleanse this dirty river which flows
through our streets, much will have been
accomplished.
There are three purifiers from disease
fire, wa'er and air. Burn all infected
articles, wash all dirty places, breathe
pure mir, and we may escape the scourge
God also scourges men and nations be-
cause of moral filth. Abraham Lincoln
understood 1t, and knew that the bloody
civil war was Gods punishment for the
crime OF slavery. 80 IL is In other mat
ters. We must be morally clean in order
20 escape calamity"

SOME FACTS AND FIGURES.

The principal difference between the
Republican and Democratic parties, at
the present writing, is that the former
deals in sophistry, while the latter con-
tents itself with the utterance of solid
facts. The Moses of the Republican
party, and the high priest Of its protec-
tion theory, is William Mckinley, now
governor OF Ohio. This man is thor
oughly trained up to the oratory of his
political school, and when it comes
down to sophistic speech, there is no
one can surpass Mckinley. He was
chairman of the Minneapolis conven-
ton which nominated Harrison, and
made speech, in the course OF which
he said:
The Democratic party believes in di-
rect taxation; that is, in taxing our
selves; but we do not believe in that
principle 30 long as we can ind anybody
else to tax. We propose to raise our
money to pay public expenses by taxing
the products of other nations, rather
than by taxing the products of our own
people.
Now Mckinley meant, when he said
this, to convey the idea that our pro-
tective tariff .obliges the producers of
other countries to pay taxes for the sup
port of our government, which he knows
to be wholly untrue. Mr.. Mckinley
knows that, all the world over alike,
the tariff is paid by the consumer.
In 1891 the people OF the United
States paid out for duties the aUm
of $2l9, 100000 on goods Of various sorts
imported from foreign countries, which
was, of course, added to the invoice
valuation of such goods, $S45, ,000, 900,
which made total cost of 81 ,064 200, 900
for what originally cost $S45 5,000, 600, so
that the amount of money paid as du-
ties, was paid by the American people
and not by foreign nations, from which
they were purchased.
How Mr.. Mckinley can stand up and
contend that this money comes out of
the pockets of foreign nations, is some
thing that passes our comprehension.
1t is said that the iron age succeeds the
age of brass. If such be the case, Nc
Kinley's cheek will have SO augmented
itself in hardness that he can sell it to
tde government for defensive srmor on
the iron-clad gunboats.
We ship pork to Germany, ON which
that empire collects a duty. Does that
duty pay any portion of the current ex-
pense of the American government? We
ship wheat 10 France, on which that
republic collects duty. How much of
that duty goes to pay the expense OF
goverxing America? Perhaps Mr.. Nc
Kinlsy can tell, but nobody else can.

is LONGEVITY DEsIRABLEq

A man need not go outside the small
circle Of his personal accnain tanee to
End instances OF men who have lived too
long for their own good. Particularly is
this true of the pioneer merchants of
San Francisco, the most of whom are
either dead or dead broke" In 1860
no public movement in that city was
made without consulting Charles Hos
mer, whose bank account was plethoric,
and his judgment accounted good. He
died in 1889, with not enough to bury
him properly; and his was the common
fate OF a hundred men who were once
powerful, wealthy, and in every way
entitled to popular recognition.
We spoke Yesterday briefly OF the
death of Richard Ten Broeck, who died
at the advanced age of 80, and almost
penniless. Dukes, earls and princes
were this mans familiar acquaintance
thirty years ago, and, on many occa-
sions, deferred to his judgment. Had he
died at 55 years of age, he would have
left quarter million; and at so he
could have left fair competency. But
the fourscore limit was altogether too
long for him.
George Bancroft, the historian, and
Gladstone, the foremost of English
statesmen, have proven exceptions to
the rule. Long as were their leases OF
life, prosperity did not desert them in
their twilight hours. But take Charles
Sumner. He lived to see his party sur
vive him, and he survived himself. He
died creator of partisan history. and
yet completely side-tracked by 'the in
exorable logic of events" in the very
party he had created. So with scores of
other men who have figured prominent
ly in public life-Matt Carpenter, James
A. McDougall and score OF others we
could name-they, like wise, lived too
long for their own good; and with their
example so plainly before US, we can
hardly be tempted to regard longevity
as a blessing

WHEN man aspires to second term
in congress, he is supposed to be on the
high road to seat in the United States
senate; and for that reason, if for none
better, be should tell the plain truth
and hold himself above petty sophistry.
This our good neighbor Bowers has not
done. In letter to the Washington
Post, designed to contradict the Exam
iner's statements about the Temescal
mines in San Bernardino county, he
says that "there is no duty on block
tin" This is true at present, but in
eleven months from now it is to be taxed
at four (4) cents per pound under the
provisions of the Mckinley act. Every
fruit canner who uses tin plate in Amer
lea wants to see block tin put upon the
free list, which will be the case unless
some American mine produces at least
5000 tons of tin before the 1st day of
July, 1895.

THE EDITORS LIKE US.
THEY WENT HOME THEY AND
WROTE ABOUT LOS ANGELES.
Southern California Well Advertised by
the Excursionists-Some of the
Truthful, Pleasant Things
They Say.

The amount OF advertising that has
resulted to Southern California from the
visit to this coast of the Editorial asso-
citation and the league of press clubs is
both piofuse in quantity and varied in
nature. Every member of each party
has had something to say about Los An
geles and Southern California, and in
every case it has been something pleas
ant, complimentary and truthful. Sec
retary Willard of the chamber of COM
merce is almost daily in receipt of local
papers from the east, containing de-
scriptive articles upon this section, and
they make interesting reading, as well
as give evidence that Los Angeles is be-
ing thoroughly well advertised. 1t is
i'm possible to estimate just the extent
of this advertising, but an idea can be
gained from the fact that this class of
matter has appeared in nearly 1875
papers that have been received at the
chamber of commerce, and this prob
ably represents only a small total.
These papers come from every part of
the United States, from the lakes to the
gulf, and from Maine to the Missouri
river.
AnOhio paper, the Norwalk Reflector.
Huron county, makes little bit of com
parieon. 1t says; ''By observation and
inquiry, am satisfied that one acre of
their rich land, properly irrigated and
cultivated, will produce as much
as several acres of our average
Huron county lands handled according
to our methods. Like the little girl
described in the nursery rhyme, when
their land is good it is very, very
good"
The Bismarck Weekly Tribune speaks
of Los Angeles as "the commercial CEN
ter of that portion OF the state, and from
the nature of its location and advantages
it must alwavs remain SUCH"
The editor of the State Journal of
Parkersburg, W. Va, says: "After all,
however, the chief claim of Los Angeles
to the visitor from colder climes is the
rare beauty of the grounds in which are
situated the tasteful homes of its citi-
zens. Other cities can show grander
business blocks and more imposing
municipal improvements, but when it
comes to gardens those of Los Angeles
are dreams of beauty, and are, in one
word, unique. The mildnesH OF the
climate permits the most delicate plants
and trees to flourish in the open air all
thro ugh the winter"
The Sturgeon Leader. Boone county,
Mo-, says: "Los Angeles has been aptly
termed The Chicago of California. Like
Chicago, Los Angeles owesits supremacy
to location. In relation to the surround
ing country Los Angeles is the natural
center, and two transcontinental rail-
roads make the city their headquarters.
But the pleasant things are not all
said about Los Angeles. Every section
covered by the itinerary of the parties
comes in for its share of space, and
there is a pleasant word said about
every part visited. Still. very properly,
Los Angeles gets the lions share, which
will undoubtedly producea rich harvest.

always shown queer prediction for
the utilization OF rascality )" and finally
winds up its excoriation of Mr.. Har-
rison by saying that "there may be
something in the cheap meanness of
Chairman Carter's career as book
agent which will be offensive to Presi-
dent Harrison, but the chances are that
the president will hold his nose with
one hand and his chairman with the
other"

that time eight bank presidents and

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 2.--There is
probability of more trouble at the Coal

troops. Numerous outrages have been

singly, and it has been found necessary
to increase the force OF the guards by
thirty.
