HO FOR CHICAGO!
HILL DEMOCRATS ABOUT READY
FOR THE TRIP.
Meeting of the Committee Yesterday-A
Number of Young Democrats Make
Addresses - The Club Constantly
Growing.

The committee of the Hill Democratic
Club of California, No. l, to enroll such
members of the club as would 60 as the
members OF club delegation to Chicago,
held meeting last night at the parlors
of the st. Elmo hotel. Capt. F. w.
Higgins acted as chairman and G. F..
Roberts secretary. Several new mem
bers were added to the club roll, and
the subscription list for club expenses
was accordingly increased.
Che plan Of selecting the delegation
was discussed. Thomas McCafery said
that he had been on similar committees
that the best plan for the committee
would be to make thorough caucus of
the city, get as many names on the list
of those Hill Democrats who would at
tend the convention as members of the
delegation and from the list have the
chair select delegation of 100 of those
who would go, and then present the
delegation thus selected by the chair as
proper persons to receive the benefits of
reduced rates. 1t would be much better
to have the delegation come from Los
Angeles county.
Captain Huggins said he felt sure that

cured from the city; that it would be
much better TO have the delegation
acquainted with each other, as by that
anter, but failing to obtain sufficient
from the city to accept Hill Democrats
who wanted to join the club from San
and Ventura. That from letters he had
10 bar &c 00ol It11
men from the towns named were anxious
to go. That he would personally make
canvass OF the city and see what could
be done by Wednesday at the farthest.
G. E. Roberts said twenty names had
sirous of going and that these names had
been obtained without any effort.
G. A. Stephens said he would also aid
in canvassing the city land from what he
had heard a delegation of 200 could be
solid Hill Democrats. That it seems
everybody is for Hill for president and
would make any sacrifice to aid his
nomination, believing he was the only
sure winner.
Others spoke in like strain. 1t we!
decided to canvass the city among lead
my DSluoCIatS anu ItiSS suliClcuI luHut
of those feeling willing to contribute tc
properly tit out the club for the cam
paign, and take such subscription from
Democrats as they might feel like Civ
ing, from one dollar up.
The committee was much encouraged
over the prospects of sending delega
ton OF the club to Chicago, leaving here
June 14th.
The Hill club is certainly success
and will be power in the coming
campaign. The committee will also re
port to the club suggesting Crane
barbecue be given by the club. May let
at some proper place, Colonel Ari Hop
per of Covina, the champion barbecue
man of the coast, to be chief in prepar
ing the barbecue, aided by Joe Romero
The committee adjourned to meet Sal
urday next at same place.

LORD TENNYsoN's poetic comedy, The
Foresters, which was produced at Daly's
theater in New York two nights ago,
worries the critics. 1t is maze of
musical words, but lacks action and
striking situations. Sir Arthur Sulli-
vans music has given variety and life to
some of its finest passages; but the
dramatic effects are few and tame. AS
the courteous critics put it, "Tennyson
is in no sense Sardou. The one con-
veys his story to an audience by force of
stirring and original dramatic situations,
the other by the potency and witchery
of words" What the literature of the
closet will gain by this late departure of
the English laureate will be lost to
the stage by his entire lack OF the
dramatic instinct. Byron could make
characters speak like statues, but
he could not move them with
action or infuse into them the ami
nation of dramatic life. This is Ten
nyson's trouble. 1t is one thing to
write well-balanced and beautiful
poetical lines; it is another to carry
life and passion into moving characters
on the stage. Incident we'll related is
not drama acted out to the life on the
mimic boards.

the following: At 5 a. M, AZ 2-5 de-
grees; noon, 6S34 degrees; p. m, 5S34
degrees. Our highest noon tempera a
ture was 70, and only once did the
morning (5 a. m.) observation show it
below 40. Los Angeles is just on the
thirty-fourth parallel of north latitude,
while Dallas, Texas, is south of the
thirty-third parallel. During these
twenty-five days there were five partly
cloudy days, and but one rainy day,
when only fifth of an inch of rain fell.
The other days were cloudless. and it
seemed as if the middle-May of Stock
bridge was upon us. When the clouds
appeared they were toward the sea, or
they lowered over the Sierra Madre
mountains, which tower upwards be-
yond us and shield us from the north
and east. These are the reservoirs for
the irrigation of the great orchards of
lemone, oranges, apricots and peaches,
and for the fields of wheat, barley and
clover. The birds each day sing as they
would in early June in Massachusetts.
But we have something else to glad
den us in Southern California besides
the climate. There is much to encour-
age us in the churches. While there
are no great revivals, there is steady
advance

which the supremacy of American COM
merce on the worlds seas, and on many
of its lakes and rivers, will be firmly
established.
The Dubuque innovation in marine
architecture may lead to important re-
suits in the commerce of the Pacific
coast. The light draft Of that vessel,
which will enable her to navigate the
rivers of South America nearly to their
sources, is made steady in deep water
during heavy weather by steel center
board. When the Nicaragua canal is
finished vessels built on this model,
while carrying a very large tonnage,
would 60 through the canal in its shall
lowest places, and on reaching this
coast could enter many of our harbors
that have but little depth of water.
That class of vessel could come into San
Pedro with ease and safety, even with
the water we now have on the bar.

REPUBLICANS, as we'll as Democrats,
will find some crisp and interesting
reading In the HERALD this morning.
Mr.. Hardestv does not relish being
called coward and liar by District
Attorney McLachlan, and comes back
at his assailant with vim and pom
derosity that will make him think that
he might better have kept civil tongue
in his head. But the most interesting
part of the Hardesty effusion is where
he go clearly discloses the fact that the
Union league is composed OF members
who are not in the grand old party"
for their health. According to this
showing the Union league has "hogged''
every office in sight, and that there are
ten or fifteen members who are still out
in the cold is due only to the fact that
there are not just now Offices enough to
60 round. But this is an "evil" that
can be remedied. AS the league has
the power, it will create new places,
and the whole club will be taken in out
of the wet. We commend to honest,
plodding, well-meaning Republicans
who do not belong to the Union league
a careful perusal of Mr.. Hardesty's ex-
pose. They will then zee how cleverly
the league manages its party affairs,
and with what patriotic ardor it's MEM
bers undertake to keep the principles of
Republicanism high above the murky
atmosphere of sordid self.seeking.

THE BRoDRRICK WILL FORGERY.

A writer in the Troy Budget, who
signs his name "Mac," has given in de-
tail the facts relating to the forgery of
Senator Broderick's will. When the
senator was shot in duel by Judge Terry
he was conveyed to the house of Leoni-
,das Haskell, near Black Point. San
Francisco, where he died in few days.
At that time it was believed that Brod-
erick had no relatives; but when his
death was announced and it was known
that he left vast estate, valued then at
$4,000, 900, in the heart of San Fran
cisco, number of cousins and aunts
and uncles made their appearance. But
they were all cut off by the extraordin-
ary finding OF will in Washington by
A. J. Butler, brother of Benjamin F.
Butler. There was always great deal Of
suspicion hanging around this will. 1t
gave the entire estate to George W.
Wilkes, afterwards the editor OF the
New York Spirit OF the Times, a man
for whom Broderick could have had no
deep friendship, and left fifty-vara lot
and some other property, altogether
amounting to about $25 900, to John A.
McGlynn, who was close friend OF
Broderick' 4, and whose active opposition
it was desirable to placate. MAC" now
recounts all the circumstances of the
discovery of the will, and says
that he. was present at its
finding in Washington. There is
enough pointed matter in "Mac's"
expose to establish his identity, and we
are in no doubt whatever that the
writer is Felix McClosky, who was
quite close friend of Broderick's. He
says he was sounded about going into
the conspiracy, but Indignantly refused.
The will was forged by Moses E. Flan-
nigan, who had been Broderick's private
secretary and closely affected the sena-
tors handwriting. Butler and Rube
Maloney, a vigilance committee exile,
broke open a private box in which
Broderick kept his papers, and intro
duced into a money belt they found
there the forged will. The next day
they demanded of Felix McClosky the
keys to the boxes containing Broderick's
effects but he refused to give them up.
They then said they had as much right
as he to search for the will they knew
he had left, and went to one of the
safes and found it as related. Mac says
he was present when the belt was taken
out and that he saw that the box had
previously been broken into. He also
claims that he made the whole thing
public at the time, and tried to prevent
the contamination OF the great crime,
but that Butler and his confederates
were too powerful for him. The estate
that was thus stolen is of immense
value at present. A great part of it con-
sists of fifty and one hundred vara lots
on Market street, between Sixth and
Ninth streets, now worth $4,000 front
foot. "Mac" says that every actor in
this great crime came to miserable

CHANGES IN SHIP ARCHITECTURE

We have welcomed the appearance of
che whaleba:k steamer, an American
inyention that promises to count for
something in the revival of American
shipbuilding and shipping. We now
hear OF the invention OF yet another
novel kind of steamer, specimen Of
which is about to be built in a
Bhipyard at Dubuque, on the Mis-
sissippi river. According to the ac
counts printed there it is to be very
like a whaleback, but may be even
more serviceahle than the whaleback
for freighting purposes. Built wholly
of steel, $50 feet in length, having one
bow and double stern, with a rudder
and screw for each stern, and capable OF
carrying great cargo, it is to navigate
the Mississippi and the broad seas,
making its first voyage from Dubuque
in Iowa to a port ON the Amazon in
Brazil.
This is interesting, and it is not
needful at this time to indulge in any
doubt of the promises made in behalf
of this interesting invention. The con-
stTuction of the steamer has been under
taken by the Dubuque Iron works, and
large amount of capital is invested
in it.
1t is well that American inventive
genius is now turned toward ship
building. The possibilities OF invention
in that line. as in other lines, are bound
less- We may yet construct new kinds
of steamships, or electric ships, through

oAn1Ne FOR OLD soLD1BBs.

Department Commander A. M. War
ner OF Cincinnati, who saw hard ser
vice in a Massachusetts regiment DUR
ing the war, is keenly alive to the ne
cessities OF the old soldiers and their
families. He has taken personal super.
vision of bill before the Legislature
authorized at the Steubenville Encamp-
ment, upon recommendation of Depart
ment Commander z. II. Bowling, to
open cottage at the Ohio Soldiers
Home, exclusively for veterans and
their wives, the latter of whom are de-
pendent upon local charity for support.
He is determined that while Home Is
provided for the veteran, the veterans
wife shall share it with him and not, as
is too often the case, be sent "Over the
Hills to the Poorhouse."
Another commendable work In which
Commander Warner is engaged is to
build UP the library Of the Soldiers
Home, and circular letter has been
addressed to every Ohio Post, about
800 in number, asking contributions of
books to this wnrthy cause. Comman.
der CASSIDY of Canton Post will take
the matter in hand in this city. Fol
lowing is the call for books:
GIVE THE OLD SOLDlEkS BOOhS.
The library at the Soldiers Home,
Sandusky, contains about 1,20O vol
umes. These volumes have been read
and re-read many times by our Com
rades there until 1t is said the aggregate
would amount to the reading once of
some $4,000 volumes.
The Home is greatly in need of many
additional volumes to meet the wants
of our Comrades who have no other
home, and are anxious to pass away in
profitable reading the long hours of
their last earthly Gays.
The Department Commander appeals
earnestly and confidently to the Posts
and Comrades of this Department to
supply this want of the Saudusky Home,
by sending such volumes as each one
can. Let each Post send at least few
volumes If the members cannot con-
tribute these the Post should buy them.
Don't relieve your library by sending
any Patent Office Reports or Public
Documents. These can be obtained, If
wanted, elsewhere. Send historical
and biographical works. Romance and
lighter literature will not come amiss.
Anything instructive and entertaining
will be gladly received and appreciated
A catalogue of the volumes now in the
Home library is sent herewith, so as to
obviate the duplication of volumes as
far as possible. Don't send any work
found in this catalogue. All books
may be sent 10 the Home at its ex-
pense.
Let there be a general response,
Comrades, to this appeal.

HIGH TAXES AND FOREIGN TRADE
From the plttsburg Post.

The foreign trade Of the United
States last year reached "high water
mark" with an aggregate of 81, 1885,
100000, an increase over the preceding
year OF S1l6,OO0,0O0, of which 50, 100000
was on imports and Sl11,000000 on ex-
ports. This is vast increase, and the
pro,ectionist papers are claiming it as
due to the Mckinley bill.
The facts are 1t is due to two things.
First, putting sugar on the free list;
this was done by the Mckinley bill, but
1t is in direct antagonlsm to the whole
spirit of that act anb to the protective
theory. The second cause of the in
creased foreign trade Is the largely in
creased expectation of breadstutfs and
cotton: the former due to the crop
failures in Europe and the latter to the
great cotton crop and reduced price.
There were S5,000,000 increased i'm
ports. But the Increase in the imports
of sugar was Sl7000,O00 and of coffee
S26,OO0000, showing an increased i'm
portation of these two articles of S43,-
100000. McKinleyism had nothing to
do with this. Free trade in sugar in
creased consumption, and there has
been no duty on coffee for years.
Now dS TO exports. The increase tor
1891 over the preceding year was S111,-
0O0,00J. The increase in the exports of
breadstuffs (due to crop failures abroad)
was S9l 600 900. and the increase in the
exports of cotton were S22, 100000; or
taking both items, S113,700o00.
The increased foreign trade in the
four articles above named-in no way
due to the Mckinley bill, except as it
Incorporated the free trade idea as to
sugar-was S157,0Oo,00O. The total in
crese shown by the treasury statement
of exports and imports was 1l60O0OOO.
But for the increased importation of
sugar made free by the Mckinley act
and coffee which has been free for years,
our imports, instead of showing an in
crease of "a, 100000 and a little more for
the twelvemonth ending December 81
last, would show falling off of about
$38, 100000 And but for the increased
expectation of breadstutfs and cotton
due TO causes with which the Mckinley
act had nothing to do, our exports, in.
stead of showing an increase of SILL
000 0000, would show a falling off OF S2,-
000,000 and upward. And that is how
McKinleyism helped our foreign trade.

THE TRoUBADoUR.
tAdapted from the Century.l

kindly furnishes Us a copy OF an adapted Trouba-
dour which we print for the benefit OF large class
OF our readers.
With a strut and with a swagger of a
monumental bragger,
And the "gall" of Malungeon, or Piute
or Boer;
With a chip upon his shoulder like pre-
historic boulder
And the attetudenizing of Grenadier ga
lore.
So he wanders forth a.starring, and a.
warning and guitaring,
And he drops his CORY gauntlet, while he
soaps his gay guitar,
And he quotes from VIM. Shakespeare,
in a spelling that he makes queer,
And he tells his tales of battles in imag-
mary war!
And he flies into a passion, in the fool
est sort of fashion,
While his yellow haired complexion is too
opaque torecupe,
And he writes his damphool letters to his
comrades and his betters,
And he never sees his danger till he lands
into the soup.
So, with swinging and with swagger, like
the ancient unsoaped bragger,
And the gall of a Malungeon or Piute or
a Boer;
He still around a-starring anda-warring
and guitaring,
Oh, monumental nuisance is our mod
ern Troubadour!

MORE IRON MEN BLESSED.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Mr.. Carnegie asserts that the Nc
Kinley tariff law has been blessing to
the workmen in the irou industry. A
dispatch from Uniontown, Pa, brings
intelligence concerning the blessing the
law has proved to the workmen in the
Columbia Iron and steel works at that
place. The proprietOrs informed the
employees in that establishment that
their wages must be cut one fourth.
The men did not regard that in the light
of blessing and demonstrated. A
meeting was arranged between the en-
ployers and committee of the men to
talk IL over. The bosses endeavored to
draw a diagram of the blessing to the
men that would follow their surrender
of one-quarter of their wages, but the
shortsiR iRhted workmen could not see it.
They stubbornly insisted that 81 will
buy more necessaries of life than 20
cents aud they preferred the whole dol
lar without the Mckinley blessing to
three-quarters of dollar with the
blessing. So the conference came to
naught and the workmen will strike If
the cut is made.

PENSION INVES ZIG ATIoN.

Speaker Crisp has appointed a strong
eommitteeon the investigation of al
legged pension abuses under the present
administration. OF the live members
of the Committee all are taken from the
northern states, and all but one, Lind
OF Minnesota, Republican, served In
the Union Army. The tout en- semble
is thus given by the Pittsburg Fost:
The chairman of the committee, H.
H. Wheeler of Michigan, entered the
federal army as private in Mich
igan regiment of volunteers and was a
captain when the war closed. He was
twice wounded, and had one arm dis
ableS by Confederate sAot. He ac-
cordingly draws pension and can be
trusted, to loo1 out for the neritorious
pensioners interest. Another of the
three Democrats on the committee is
j. j. Little of New York, a Grand
Army man. A third, Irvine DUNCAN
of Ohia, has accord of 10 months In a
Confederate military prison. Messrs.
Brosius and Liad, the Republican mem
bers, are of ability and thoroughly able
to "hol& &mp their end" of the inVesti-
cation. Mr.. Grosius represents the
Lancaster district of this State and
serve6 in the Union army.
