MR.. CLARKsoN AND DEAD ISSUES

Mr.. James S. Clarkson, in his speech be-
fore gathering of the National Republi
cans, in Louisville, few days since, com
planned that the young men of the country
have left the Republican party and become
Democrats. "The day has come" he said,
"when we need the buge power OF blood
and youth of the young men at the front Of
the party. The Democracy made up of old
men never could defeat Republicanism, but
the danger we have to face now is Demo
cratic party made up of young men,"
The complaints a true one, but what else
does Mr.. Clarkson expect the young men to
do? The young men of this country are
tired of dead issues. They are progressive
and care not to linger in the past like, "Eze-
kie in the valley of Dry Bones" Besides,
what has the Republican party ever done
for the young men Of the country that they
should give 1t their allegianceP Or, for that
matter, what has 1t done for anybody or any
thing but 10 feast and fatten its favorites TO
the beggary of the massesH The only way
that Mr.. Carkson can change the young
men is to change the Republican party, and
the change must be very thorough at that.

IN DEFENSE.

Chairman Wilson naturally and properly
gives the reasons that underlie proposed
changes in the tariff. Some of these reas-
ons are, however. lacking in the element
OF truth Raw materials, the chairman
says IN effect, are made free for the reason
that no country can supply them as cheaply
as we can. To the extent to which this
statement is correct 1t is good. But it Is
not correct of wool, iron ore or btuminous
coal. Practically, the term ''as cheaply"
applies to the locality of consumption
rather than of production. The element
of transportation has to be considered in
connection with the cost of production on
the ground. Il may be that coal and iron
may be raised to the surface of the earth
as eheaply in Alabama as in any foreign
country. But Alabama coal and iron have
to be transported to the several points of
consumption. The next question to be
considered is as to the ability of American
producers to place coal and iron where it
Is wanted in competition with the foreign
producer. In respect to wool the statement
Of Chairman Wilson is manifestIy incor-
rect. Wool can be placed in San Francisco
from Australia and Argentine az lower
cost than it can be grown in any part of
AHeI!ca. 1dnu SuIIaD Die IOr Sueep IN those
countries commands only a nominal rent
aad native heTders can be hired for the
cost Of their maintenance.
Chairman Wilson makes another state
ment that invites investigation. He says
in every great line Of manufacture we can
produce enough for home consumption in
from six to nine months of each year, and
that we can get rid of our surplus only by
export. But queer way to extend the
market for manufactured goods is to invite
competition in our home market. In spite
Of the ''thn edge of American manufac-
lures" inserted IN other countries, the
principal market for American goods is,
and for years to come must be, the local
market In n broad sense the markets of
the world will only be open to US when we
can supply them in competition with cheap
labor countries. The bulk of our imports
are manufactured goods. 1t is proposed,
however. by this new tariff to increase i'm
portations both of raw material and manu-
featured goods with only remote prospect
of increasing our exports of either class

THE CLEVELAND MACHINES.

A Democratic contemporary is quite GER
tain that the reported scheme to control
the nomination of Dem ocratic Congress
men by the administration will not amount
to anything. The political te nderfoot who
contributes to the enlightenment of the
readers of that journal does not see how
Mr.. Cleveland can enter into Mr.. Geary's
Congressional district and prevent Demo-
cratic convention from placing Mr.. Geary
in nomination. The mode of operation is
through the Presidential patronage. Sup
pose the administration should give out
that Mr.. Geary is persona non grata; in
other words. that if he is nomin ated he
will have no voice in the distribution of
patronage. Mr.. Cleveland would not need
to proclaim this purpose from the top of
the White House. The information could
be conveyed by agents of the national
executive committee, and would have its
effect. The voters of MIR. Geary's district
might not turn against him, but the work
ing politicians who run conventions would.
What may be done in Mr.. Gsary's district
may be done in every district where there

THE ENGLISH LIKE 1T.

President Cleveland will doubtless be
pleased at the comments of the English
press on the proposed tariff bill. The
London Daily Ners considers the bill a
reply to the rebuff the Cleveland party
received at the late elections. The voters
objected to a reduction in the tariff and so
Cleveland punished them with little
more reduction than he had intended to
give them. This shows at least that the
American President is not afraid OF the
people. The Standard is more outspoken
in commentator OF the present tariff.
That journal is confident that it will be
the fault of English enterprise and indus
try if English industries derive no benefit
from the change. The Standard con-
tinues:
Whether the bill will achieve for the AmerI-
can manufacturers all the advantages which its
projectors anticipate remains to be seen, but 1t
will, at any rate, serve to clear the ground of
labor disputes.
Labor disputes in the United States
have been based on the assertion by labor
that laborers were not getting fair show
in the benefits of protection. The manufac-
turers poin ted to their wage list and claimed
that labor was given its share. Congress
Games along at this stage of the dispute and
takes away the bone of contention. Man
ufacturers and laDorers will no longer
have anything to dispute about. The
advantages of protection of course dis
appear with protection. This is a some
what radical way of settling dispute, but
we are not certain that it will be entirely
satisfactory 10 either American manufac-
turers or American iaborers. But tie Eng
lish eem to think that they will profit
by it.

THEY WILL COMPLY.

Considerable appreh ension is said to ex-
LIST in the Treasury Department that the
Chinese will refuse to be registered under
the new registration act. Talk of this
kind is mscbievous. The Chinese should
be made to understand that they must
comply with the law or lake the legal con-
sequence, which is deportation. In a re-
port recently made to the chief of the In
ternal Revenue Department detailed
account was given of tie number of dis
tilleries that had been destroyed within a
year by the officers of the law. This de-
structon Of property, involving some loss
of life, was the penalty inflicted upon dis
tlllers for not handing over to the proper
authorities the 90-cent tax that the Gov
eminent eXacts for each gallon Of distilled
spirits. No mention is made of confer
ence with the Illicit dist Tiers to ascertain
If they preferred to comply with the law.
But these distillers we're mostly Ameri-
cans, and were held to have no alternative
but to obey the law. There is no hesita-
tlon about putting them through a course
OF discipline if they refuse. But the
Treasury Department is represented ss
standing bat in hand before few thou
sand Chinese and asking them what they
think OF the law and If they will be SO
obligi ng as to comply with it. Under the
Geary act. which the administration never
declared Its purpose to enforce, about one
nth Oh the Chinese residents in the United
States voluntarily registered. All would
have registered If they had not been adj
viSed not to by the Six Companies, who
acted under the advice of lawyers believed
to be in the confidence of the administra
tion. The 100000 Chinese who are now

TWO ROCKS TO Go.
A Petition to Have HarbOr Dangers
Removed.
The following petition was circulated
Yesterday at the Merchants EXCHANGE:

The following petition was circulated
yesterday at the Merchants Exchange:
To Hon. Daniel S. Lamont, Secretdru of
Wdr, Washington, d. C.-SIR: The under
signed, representing the commercial institu-
tons, shipOwners and mercantile interests of
San Francisco and vicinity, respectfully repre-
sent that Shag Rock and Arch Rock III the Bay
OF San Francisco are dangerous and a menace
to navigation; that they have been the cause
OF wTeckage and damage 10 sea-gOlDg vessels
and are in direct range OF The ferry boats plying
between San francisco and Sausalito and in
foggy weather there is great danger OF running
on 10 one or the other OF them and thereby
loss of life.
We would respectfully ask that you cause a
survey TO be made by the United States eng-
neers with view Of ascertaining the cost of
their removal, and when that is done, TO in
clude the same in the appropriation for the I'M
proyement OF rivers and harbors.
This petition received as the first sigma
ture the name of +. b. Pond, president of
the Board of Trade, ard was signed with
out hesitancy by every one TO whom it
was presented. 1t will be forwarded with
out delay to the department, and there is
good ground for believing the petition will
be granted aud two useless Instructions
removed from the harbor.
The only reason this has not already
been done by the Government is that a
report was once made by an engineer
which pointed out some advantages to be
derived from retaining the rocks as availa-
bic points TO assist in harbor defenses.

A PREMIUM ON FRAUD.

An ad valorem tariff and an income tax
offer premiums on fraud. The honest man
will report his tax correctly and the dis
honest one will give in as little as posi-
Bile. The honest importer will invoice his
goods at the price he pays for them; the
dishonest importer will have two invoices,
one for himself and one to show the Gus
tom-house official. Even if these officials
are honest and intelligent, it is nearly i'm
possible to detect such frauds. II suspect
ed. how can proof be obtained? Who is
going to show that this Custo NJ b ouse in
voice is not correct? The statement has
often been made that New Y ork retains its
monopoly of importations by process of
differentiation. While no one may
vouch for the fact under penalty of being
required to establish it, dry-goods mer-
chants from all parts of the United States
have found that they could buy more
cheaply in New York than they could buy
in Europe and import direct. New York
has guided tariff delberation all through.
The central idea OF that city is to build up
a great foreign trade. With one or two ex-
ceptions its journals are for free trade. Its
interests in this respect are opposed to
the Interests of every other section of the
country, but it gets away with the swag.
The ad valorem tariff bill. if il becomes
a law, will give New York City another
period of commercial supremacy. pro-
tective tariff, building up manufactures in
this country and making each great city a
point of supply. would relieve local mer-
chants from the necessity of spending half
their time in New York. That city will
for long time remain the commercial and
financial center of the United States, but
under specific duties other cities would
share the foreign trade.

appears that Admiral Irwin, who sue
ceeded Admiral Skerretr, is brother oil
Robert irwin. Hawaiian Minister and I'M
migration Commissioner in Japan. 1t Is
through Robert Irwin that the Hawaiian
planters receive part of their supply OF
coolie labor. Now as the annexation OF
the Islands to the United States would put
stop to the traffic in coolies it is reason
able to infer that Admiral Irwin would not
go out of his way to put stop to trade
which his brother finds profitable. 1t may
be that Mr.. Cleveland did not know that
admiral Irwin had brother. but in view
OF his extreme solieitude lest Admiral
Skerrett would allow his sympathies to
affect performance of his duties it is
unfortunate that the officer he replaced
Admiral Skerrett with should have
brother whose business ventures would be
injured by annexation.

ADMIRALS SKERRETT AND IRWIN

There has been considerable speculation
as to the reasons which induced President
Cleveland to remove Admiral Skerrett
from command at the Hawaiian Islands.
1t has been said that the President was
so rigidly upright in his notions that he
feared the friendly relations which had
been established by Admiral Skerrett with
the Provisional Government would make
it unpleasant for him to perform q duty
that might devolve upon him. 1t ia not

A DAYLIGHT BURGLAR.
John Meyers Fails to Enter an Oak
Street House.

John Meyers, who says he arrived from
Chicago few days ago. was booked at the
City Prison yesterday for ATTEMPTED bur-
glary. On Monday afternoon be went to
the hall door of 236 Oak street and was
trying to open it with key when he saw
tnat women in a house opposite were
watching his movements.
He took turn around the block and the
same women saw him 60 through the
basement of the house. where he got a
barrel and a plank, and by this means
tried to reach the window. He overbal-
anced himself and fell to the ground.
The noise scared him. and while he was
running out of the alleyway he was met
by Police Officer Harry Reynolds, who re-
sides in the neighborhood and had been
notified of Meyers attempt to open the
hall door. Reynolds placed him under ar
rest. In his pockets were found a child's
bracelet engraved with the name "Estella
Howe" big silver watch with the name
John Davis" pair of glass cuff-buttons
with the initials "a. D." and a pair of
bloodstone cuff-buttons with the initials
