ONE USE FOR A CIGAR.
A Medium of Communication in
Chinese Hands.

cigar Is not very suspicious looking
thing, but in the hands of an ingenious
MOngol it can be turned TO account in ways
other than that of smoking.
Many of the Chinese arrivals who come
by every steamer from the Orient have
friends and acquaintance in this city. and
the customs officers have generally per-
mitted the latter to send aboard various
tokens of welcome and hospitality in the
shape of cake, fruits. knick-knackS, any
thing, in short. which did not look like a
medium of Illicit cores pOn6ence.
Last Saturday afternoon Il Celestial went
down to the Pacific Mali dock, whare the
China was lying, and asked to be permit
ted TO sent three cigars TO friend aboard
Inspector Campbell did not object to so
innocent request, and accordingly took the
smokers. One of them, however. felt
quite soft, and Mr. Campbell opened il.
when, loi complete Chinese letter writ
ten upon red-ruled, cream-tinted, flimsy
paper was found rolled up in it.
Deputy Surveyor Sam Ruddell had the
communication translated. 1t proved 10
be list of partners of the firm of Quong
Get Chong & Co.. 6l0 Jackson street, each
of whom was represented as owning $1,000
worth OF stock In the concern. The mis-
sive was addressed to Ching Pang, or
Chan Pan. and concluded with this ad-
monitiun:
BE sure to answer your partnership per-
fectIy."
The list of partners given was:
Quong Get Chong. Louis Hen, Chan
Chang, Chan KOw, Chan Ten, Chan Kee
Sing, Chan Pan, Chan See Fay. Chan
Fan-a rather good showing for the Chan
family.
As the Chinese who handed the cigars TO
the Inspector walked away INN ediately,
doubtless supp0Sing that his message
would be carried to Chan Pan without anv
discovery, he could not be found. The let
ter will be used as evidence against Chan
Pan.

THE COUNT PLEADS GUILTY
Peter John Won Ruiohvosbaske Owns
He Is a FOrger.

Peter John Won Rulohvosbaske came be-
fore Judge Wallace yesterday to stand his
trial for forgery, but he anticipated pro-
eeedings by Withdrawing his plea Of not
guilty and owning up.
The defendant was accused of forging
the name of A Sutro t. a guarantee to
sell to c. Eckhard some outside land lots
in the Golden Gate Park Addition in April
last. lie introduced some man unknown
to Notary John f. Lyons as A. Sutro, and
the guarantee Was drawn up in presence
of and attested by Lyons. 1t was evil
IDENTITY the intention of Ruohvosbaske to
dispose of these lots at once and clear out.
Unfortunately the plot was discovered,
and the ''coun'." as he calls himself, was
arrested
Yesterday morning jury was impaneled
and was under process of questioning
when the defendant surprised the court by
pleading guilty. He will be sentenced on
Friday next. Septeniber 8.
There is another criminal information
pending against him wherein he Is charged
with selling property which he did not
own TO Barbara Ashton, in exchange for a
clearinghouse on Bush street valued at
$3.50.

FEDERAL ELECTION LAWS.

The principle upon which Federal cleo
ton laws are based is sound. The laws
may give Federal officials too much power
or they may be so enforced as to be irritat-
ing to the State authorities, but the right
of the Federal Government TO see that
members Of Congress are fairly elected is
essential to the continued observance OF
the fundamental law that mlnorites shall
submit: TO msjorities. There is no eonsid-
cradle number OF people in the United
States who will not readily submit TO the
rule Of the majority so that its voice is
fairly expressed. But there are a good
many who will Insist that the elections of
representatives 70 the Federal Congress
shall be so conducted as to afford assurance
that the reported majority is real.
About One-third of the members of each
house of Congress are representatives of
the Southern States. At the present time
with four exceptions these Southern men,
berS are Democrats. These Southern
members are not elected on issues which
are dominant in the North. The State
delegations are not solid on tariff questions
or on currency questions. but on local
issues. All national issues are held subor-
dinate to what they consider the supreme
necessity of maintaining white supremacy.
Now it has often been openly admitted
that this necessity is so important that it
must be preserved if need be by the
practical disfrancbisement of colored
voters. Leaving out of consideration
the real merits of this supposed neces-
| sity the fact is apparent that about
| one-third OF Congress is elected
| on other issues than those which most
deeply concern the other States. Thus. in
the present Congress we have large ma
lOrity elected on a platform which de-
clareS the protection of American indus
tries unconstitutional. The majority is
composed largely of men who were elected
on the Southern issue of white supremacy.
Many OF them would be protective tariff
men If the dominant Southern issue could
be subOrdinated to the industrial issue.
| The aim and purpose Of Federal laws is TO
secure fair expression Of the will of the
qualified voters in both Northern and
Southern States. 1t is not proposed that
these laws shall interfere with elections
for local offices, except to members of
State Legislatures, who have the choice of
United States Senators. Their entire
purpose will be accomplished when the
election oil members of the Federal Con-
gress is relieved from the domination of a
local issue. The Democratic papers say
that the verdict of the people in 1892
was adverse to protection to American
ab0r, II was In effect but not in fact
The greater part of the members from the
Southern States were elected with little
consideration Of the protective issue. But
they have votes. and are practically in q
position to demolish the whole fabric OF
protection under which for the last thirty
years all sections OF the country have pros

NATIONAL BANKS.

There are in the United States about 1000
national banks with capital of 500, 900,
600 divided into 100000 shares of 500
each. 1t appears therefore that a man may
become a stockholder in a national bank
without being very rich. 1t is probable

small lots, but the fact does not greatly af-
feet tire influence of these banks Oh finan-
cial affairs. With few exceptions the of
ficials have been known as advocates of
the repeal of the Sherman act. 1t is some
what surprising that so large proportion
of them should have been drawn into the
plan to change their character from ma
tional to State institutions. Probably the
secret of their readiness to make the

GLOOMY FOR CLERKS.
The General Fund Will Not Be Re.
pIenished Till December.

Treasurer Widber. speaking yesterday
of the condition OF the general fund. said
that he would probably be able to pay all
the August demands and those for June
which were affected by the recent decision
of the Supreme Court. The payment of
these demands will exhaust the general
fund, which will not be replenished until
the real-estaIe taxes are transferred to the
treasury. The Treasurer says that thi,
will not be done until the early part of De-
cember.
In consequence the demands for Septen-
Der and October, which are payable out of
the general fund, cannot be paid. The
holders will have to wait until December,
when the real-estate taxes comein.

that there were questions of title TO the

The Chinese question, as it affects the

admits that IL is difficult to answer the
arguments of those persons who are hos

the cutlery in England if dozen shiploads
OF coolies were to arrive. If our cOntem-
porary goes back twenty years it will find
that IL was actually proposed bv colliory
proprietors in Wales TO send 10 China for
coolIe labor. The right to this was
unquestlOned, but the Times came forth
stanchiy with the argument that England
was for Englishmen and that cOa!-mining
