THE Tribune says The HERALD "seems to
have theory that it is a shame to call Oh
the people in any form 10 support this gov
ernment," which of course is q faIsehood.
1t Is the Tribune folks who exhibit alacrity
when calls are made upon them for sup
porting materials. THE HERALD not only
seems to have, but really has, theory that
1t is shame to call on the people in any
form TO support the interests of the pro-
tected classes, whilst the farming and
laboring interests not only receive no ''fos-
tering care, but are required to furnish
by tariffs an extra profit to manufacturers
Tor goods sold to Americans at dearer rates
than to people of other countries.

The UNANIMOUS decision of the supreme
court OF Wisconsin on the apportionment
law OF that state declares it to be uncop.
stitutional. The decision is an important
one, as its effect will be felt wherever poll
tical parties have undertaken TO reap ad.
vantages by gerrymandering. It's applica-
ton to this territory knocks sthe action of
the Utah commission into as disreputable
looking cooked hat as the apportionment
itself. In brief, the decision is that the
county is the primary territorial unit of
representation, and thai no assembly dis.
trict can lawfully be formed to include two
or more counties unless the whole of such
counties are included. district cannot
lawfully be formed embracing in it's limits
fractions Of two or more counties. or one
county and fraction of another, 1t will
thus be seen that it is not alone REQUIRED
That territory must be contiguous, but that
primary territorial units must be observed.

The coLoRED men of Maryland who
claim that they are three-ffths of the vot-
ing strength of the Republicans of Mary
land, have organized an alliance for the
purpose of obtaining "the recognition to
which their fidelity entities them" They
want TO send four colored men to the Min
neapolis convention. But that is got the
way to get proper recognition. They need
to vote few times Independently of the
white Republican party who so regularly
ignore them, not alone in Maryland, but
throughout the country.

CALIFORNIA FRUIT TRUST.
Tho Great Scheme of Messrs. Morgen-
thausand Armstrong.

Tho Great Scheme of Messrs. Morgen-
thausand Armstrong.
SAN Francisco, Feb. 3.-A New York
special says ryMorgenthau, a capital
ist associated with 2. B. Armstrong, the
we'll known insurance man, in plan Of
organizing great fruit growers trust,
by consolidating the California fruit
farms into an enormous association, has
been interviewed. He said he pre-
ferred not to give much in
formation regarding the matter, as it
might materially interfere with the sue
cessful carrying out OF the plan. He
stated, however, that stocks and bonds
would be issued to those whose farms
were absorbed by the trust, and that it
was intended to embrace the largest
farms, OF which Armstrong owns one.
Morgenthau said he was associated
with Armstrong in this, but particulars
as to others who would be allied with
it, cannot be obtained for some time
yet.
The Commercial Bulletin, referring to
the subject says: Morgenthau's back
ing will of course give the effect of
financial strength OF no mean degree"
DIR. Meyer and other former associates
of Armstrong in the mutual affair are
not interested in the fruit trust scheme.
Armstrong, who is now en- route, will
arrive in San Francisco in few days,
and will then broach the subject to
Californians.

FIREBUGS AGAIN.

Pacific Officials.

They Have Been Bothering Southern
Pacific Officials.
The city detectives are just now on a
still hunt for band of incendiaries who
have been operating for some time past
in the neighborhood of the San Fernan-
do depot.
Some time ago these frebugs set fire
to the Baker iron works, and but for the
opportune discovery of the flames by
the yard employees of the Southern Pa
ci6c railroad, the establishment would
have been destroyed. About half an
hour later the railway employees were
astonished to find that the switchman's g
house near the depot had been ignited
by means of bundle of shavings and
straw soaked with oil being placed
against it. The building was complete
ly destroyed.
About week ago a similar pile OF in
fammable matter was placed against
building used for store house purposes
near the depot, and the structure was
partially destroyed. For several nights
past numerous attempts at robbery and
incendiarism have been discovered in
the yard of the Southern Pacific Railway
company, where number of freight
cars have been broken into and robbed,
and in several instances the cars have
been set on fire. The Southern Pacific
railway authorities have notified Chief
Glass of these occurrences, and the chief
announces that he will take immediate
steps for the capture of the firebugs.
Several clues have been unearthed, and
it is expected that the offenders will
soon be in custody.

quently made in chicago by three or

IOuI nSu.
Just before adjournment. Murray Nell
son and others representing the Chicago
board Of trade, laid before the commit
tee voluminous memorial in opposi-
ton to anti-option legislation. The
arguments of the memorial are chiefly
that boards of trade are essential to the
marketing Of the farmers produce, and
that dealing in options and futures is q
stimulus necessary to the maintenance
of boards of trade. 1t asserts that the
extent to which produce gambling is
carried on in legitimate exchanges of
the country, is immensely exaggerated.
Gambling in produce gambling pure
and simple-is carried on in bucket
shops. This form of gambling, says the
memorial, is and lodg has been fruit
full source of agricultural depression,
and vigorous federal bucket-shop law.
vigorously enforced, might go far toward
accomplishing the end that is sought.
The laying Of wagers in thousands of
bucket-shops on quotations of produce,
as they are made in the great marts of
trade, creates a powerful concentrated
interest for the depression of values.
The extent to which the bucket-shop
influence is responsible for the agricul-
tural depression complained of. is not,
the Chicago gentlemen fear, fully ap-
preciated. The memorial does not ap-
prehend that congress confounds bucket
shops with legitimate exchanges. Such
thought, it says, "would be an insult
to your intelligence"
Boards of trade are a necessity of
modern commerce. They enable pro-
ducers to find market at any time for
their surplus grain, cattle, hogs, cotton,
etc., at far better average prices than
could otherwise be obtained. 1t is
through the medium of boards of trade
that capital is supplied for the carrying
of the country's surplus products during
the long and wearisome period that
must intervene from the time they leave
the possession of the needy producer
until taken by the tardy and
reluctant consumer. Destroy the
system of contracting for the purchase
and sale of agricultural commodities for
future delivery by imposing q prohib-
tive tax, and very large proportion of
the capital thus employed will seek 9th
er channels for investment. The farmer
may rid himself of the middleman, but
he will also be bereft of market at the
same time"
The committee on agriculture will
have hearings daily upon this subject
for one week.

WAsHNGToN, Feb. 3.-The House
spent another monotonous day in dis

dent that the first two months of the
session will close with the rules still un-

Progress today was marked by one
significant event-the adoption of an
amendment proposed by Dingley, of the
Republican side, and chiefly supported
by ex-Speaker Reed. This amendment,
too, is one of the most important thus
far proposed to the committees report,
as it provides that all senate amend
ments to house bills, other than appro-
priation bills, shall be considered as
soon as laid before the house by the
speaker.
The pending motion this morning was

mitting general legislation on appropria-

to retrenchment in expenditures.

THAT HOSPITAL STORY.
AN INQUEST TO BE HELD TODAY
ON JAMES GREGG.
The Horrible Story About the County
Hospital the Dead Man Once Told.
His Brother Now Demands An
Autopsy.

Some time ago the HERALD published
story about James Gregg, formerly an
inmate of the county hospital, who
made some very serious charges against
the physicians resident at that place.
Among other things he alleged that the
doctors at the hospital were in the
habit of poisoning people whom they
considered incurabls. This remarkable
accusation was enough to create local
sensation, and only lost its strength by
the vehement denial of Gregg's brother,
also published in the HERALD. This
brother came to the Office and asked
that reporter be detailed to visit his
brother. The request was complied
with, and the sick man was found at
the home of one of his brothers in the
city. The dying man then denied hav-
ing Intentionally made the charges
referred to, and said he had
probably ventured such statements
while in delirium. At the time
OF the interview, he was attended
by DR.. Bullard of the county hospital,
and showed some anxiety arising from
the fear that the doctor might leave
him if the charges were substantiated.
Later on, James Gregg was removed
to the home of another brother William,
No 235 Water street, East Los Angeles,
and there died yesterday morning. The
death was reported to Coroner
Weldon, and William Gregg himself
came into the coroner's office, and in
great excitement demanded an autopsy
and thorough investigation. The
coroner complied with tho request to the
extent OF ordering the body brought to
the morgue, and announcing an inquest
for this morning at 10 O'Clock.

SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
The Los Angeles Public Building Bill
Passes.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-In the senate
today the usual batch of petitions were
presented and referred to committee.
The committee on foreign relations re-
ported back adversely the various anti
Chinese bills introduced and referred at
the present session, and reported in lieu
OF them bill continuing in force for
Sen years the existing laws prohibiting
and regulating the coming into this
country of Chinese and persons of Chi
nese descent.
The bill further provides that any
Chinese or person of Chinese descent
once convicted and adjudged to be not
lawfully entitled to remain in the United
States, and having been removed and
subsequently convicted of like offense,
shall be imprisoned at hard labor for a
period not exceeding six months, and
afterward removed from the country.
The joint resolution proposing an
amendment to the constitution OF the
United States relating to marriage and
divorce, heretofore introduced by Kyle,
was taken up, and Kyle addressed the
senate in support of it. The amendment
proposes that congress shall have ex-
elusive power to regulate marriage and
divorce in the several states and terri
tories and the District of Columbia. At
the close of his remarks the resolution
was referred to the judiciary committee.
The senate bill for the creation of a
fonrth judicial district in the territory of
Utah was passed.
A bill appropriating $35O,0OO for the
extension of the public building at Los
Angeles, CAL, passed.
The public printing bill was amended
by adding the words: 'But the provis-
ions of the eight-hour law shall apply, :"
and without disposing of the bill, the
senate adjourned.
