TO TALK TARIFF.
STEPHEN M. WHITE ACCEPTS A
DoDGING CHALLENGE.
The Republican Committee Prohibits
Dis cussion of Any Issue But the
Tariff-Mr. White Accedes
to Their Wishes.

The following straightforward letter
explains itself:
EDITORS HERALD: In the Express of
yesterday I find the following COPIED
fros1 the Chronicle of August 25th):
As indicated a few days ago, the Re-
publican state central committee is not
disposed to look with favor on the reply
of Stephen NJ White relative to the
proposition to discuss the tariff ques-
ton. Chairman Meyers yesterday sent
a reply to Chairman Max Pepper. At
tention was called to the fact that Mr..
White had declined to meet Mr.. Estee
in joint debate. 1t is then stated that
there is nothing left for the Republican
committee but to accept his declination.
The reply concludes:
''In order that the public may have
an opportunity to hear fair and intel
ligent discussion of the tariff (which is
admitted by both political parties to be
the paramount issue in this campaign), /,
/ now, by direction Of the Republican
state executive committee, renew the
proposal for joint debate on the tariff
question, in the month of September.
with Mr.. Estee as the representative of
the Republicans, as made in my COM
munication of the 9th inst, and extend
it's terms 30 as to include any leading
representative member of the Demo-
cratic party"
The assertion above made that / de-
clined to meet Mr.. Estee in joint de-
bate is an unequivocal falsehood.
The Democratic state committee, acting
for me, accepted the challenge, but sug-
gested that | desired to debate not
only the tariff, but also the other issues
OF the campaign, and that for business
reasons preferred that the discussion
should take place in October-that be-
ing the month of greatest campaign act
ivity, and now comes the Republican
state committee and intimates that |
have refused to meet Mr.. Estee. The
truth is that have been anxious to
meet him, and have been and am wait
ing for chance. would enjoy talking
about all the issues, not merely one.
The force bill-that effort to manacle
and enthrall large section of the union,
is made important by an explicit an
nouncement of the Minneapolis plat
form. In this state the Republican
party has put itself in the hands of the
Corporations and the San Francisco
bosses. These matters ought to be
brought before tie people. For local
reasons, many independent Republican
plotectionists will vote our ticket. No
one ever heard until this season, of an
attempt to narrow debate to one issue.
But as the Republican committee has
fatty declined to permit the issues of
the campaign to be debated, i will forego
my desire and have just notified our
committee to inform the Republican or
ganization that 1 will meet Mr.. Estee on
the tariff, pure and simple, any time in
October, and that will not refer to any
of the many material issues so offensive
to the challengers.

A LEGAL FRACAS.

Justice Newell Complains of Attorney

Justice 7. r. Newell, of Calabasas,
was in the city yesterday, and an inter-

Van Sciever came in. Hell greeted the

HE IS A SANITY cH|NAMAA
But He Ran a White Brothel
Just the Same.
Pasadena Shocked Grieveously by
Nasty Revelations.
A Young Married Woman and Number
of Girls Said to Have Submitted
to Chinese Lust for
Money.

Marshal Buchanan OF Pasadena has
unearthed brothel in that city, whose
inmates were white women, but the in
stitution was run by Chinese mac of
the name OF Sing.
A young married woman of the
suburbs of Pasadena is involved in the
nasty mess, the discovery of which has
we'll nigh shaken the city of rich people
to its foundations.
Sing posed as Christian, and as a
natural consequence earned the good
will OF Pasadena's church people, who
are SO apt to forget that for ways that
are dark, the Christian Chinee is pc
.culiar.
Mr.. Sing resides in little dwelling on
Raymond avenue, near California street.
Suspicious comings and goings had at
tracted the attention of the police to
this Christian Chinese's house, and the
surveillance thus established showed
conclusively that there must be some
thing going on at his place which was
not square.
Last Saturday the marshall made up
his mind that an investigation of the
interior of the den would not be out of
the way, and forcible visit was made
at Sings.
There were several Chinese in the
place who managed to escape as soon as
the officers made their appearance, but
Sing and the young married woman of
the suburbs before mentioned, were
captured.
AS soon as the female found herself a
prisoner in the hands of the police, she
was ready to confess, and her story was
one of deliberate willfulness on her part.
First she admitted being married, but
that she deserted her husband a short
time ago to take up with another man.
This fellow shortly afterward tired of her,
leaving her to her own resources, which
consisted of a good appetite but no
means wherewith to satisfy it.
In this emergency she bethought her
of the sanity Chinaman, Mr.. Sing,
whose piety was such a shining ex-
ample. Mr.. Sing was willing enough
to be useful to the woman, but his
kindness was not disinterested. She
acceded to his lustful desires, and be-
came the mistress of a Chinaman.
When the police had found out this
much, more inquiries were instituted,
and then it was learned that this woman
was not the only white female who had
visited the house.
1t is believed that Sing made it prac-
tics, heretofore, of procuring girls too
young to know better, and young women
of easy virtue but much hypocrisy. to
visit his nasty den. He charged an ad-
mission fee to his countrymen, who
called on the sly to inspect his harem,
and the girls we're ruined by them.
The case is by far the most sensational
that has ever turned up in Pasadena.
The officers are working, with the evil
dence already gathered, to obtain fur
ther details respecting this man Sing,
who is now in custody.
The woman has been released, but the
police will produce her at the proper
time. If testimony can be obtained
tending to show that Sing procured
minor females for purposes OF 'prostitu-
ton, his chances for the penitentiary
will be unexcelled.

WE ALWAYS admire the man who per-
forms all that ne promises. And having
done that, what shall be said of the man
who does even more? When Mr.. Charles
T. Sivalls, advertising agent of Sells
circus, visited this place in June, he put
up bills and posters to the effect that
there would be performances in three
rings. When the show came off, it
turned out there were four. The urbane
Sivalls had forgotten to include Len J..
Thompson and the city council in his
advertisement.

Tonight the kettledrum and trumpet,
or, better still, the voices of a thousand
eloquent and earnest men, will bray
out the triumph of the pledge of the
California Democracy to Cleveland and
Stevenson. Perhaps it were better to
have said ring out, but in our devotion
to the text of Hamlet we have said bray,
and it will have to go at that, with the
addition of the undoubted fact that the
welkin will ring with steadfast Demo
cratic enthusiasm and loyalty.

THE law calls for the impaneling Of
two grand juries year. Today is the
9th day of Alphabetically the last day
of the eighth month-an thus far no
grand jury has been called. And it is,
of course, in the Republican fitness of
things that there should not be such a
body before the election ia held. If
there were, half the Republican aspi-
rants for official position might find
prison doors changing behind them.
