At Length.

WASIINGToN, Dec. 10.-ln the Senate
yesterday the reading of the President S
Hawaiian message occupied about 10
minutes. Then Chandler called for he
reading of the instructions to Mr.. Will
lis. The first of these instructions pre-
sented to be read were those Of Gresham
to Mr.. Willis, dated October is
They are marked Confidential, and
state that they are supplemental to
general instructions which he had re-
ceived in reference to his official duties. "
Before the clerk had got any further
the reading was interrupted by Butler,
who objected to the time of the Senate
being wasted. as the papers would be all
printed tomorrow. Voorhees, took the
same view and argued against having
garbled exCepts from documents; they
shonld read all or none, he said. Mr.
Harris said that it was the universal
rule of the Senate that messages from ( he
President were ALWAYS read and that
accompanying documents" were al
ways referred to Il committee with the
message.
A motion to print the message and ac-
companyiug documents and refer them
to the committee on foreign relations
was made by Butler. An animated dis
cussion on the points ensued, and was
continued TODAY.

For some time the roadway of the

it was considered that the doing of the
work would be the establishment OF a
precedent that would require the town

INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY.

Justice Brewer Makes q Fourth of July
Grafton at Woodstock, ct.
WOODSTOCK, Ct., July 4.-The usual
Fourth of July exercises were observed
at Roseland park today. Hon. Charles
A. Russell OF Connecticut, delivered the
address OF welcome, aud a prayer was
offered by Rev. William Hayes Ward OF
New York. Justice David j. Brewer OF
the United States supreme court, deliv-
cred an address on Individual Liberty.
He said in part:
'The most noticeable social fact of to-
day is that OF the combination of capi-
tai and the organization OF labor. l
realize full we'll that only through this
movement are the great material
achievements of the day possible, but
one thing is clear, and that is that the
penalty which the nation pays for
all the benefits is a growing disposition to
sacrifice the individual; to make the
liberty OF one something which may be
ruthlessly trampled into the dust, be.
cause of some supposed benefitto many.
A capital combine may, as claimed,
produce better, cheaper and more
satisfactory results in manufacture,
transportation and general business. but
too often the combine iB not content
with the voluntary cooperation of such
as choose to JOIN. 1t grasps at monopoly,
and seeks to crush out all COM
petition. 1t thus crushes or swal-
lows the individual. and he
is assaulted as though he were an out
law. So 1t is with organizations of la
Dor; the leaders order strike; the or
ganization throws down it's tools and
ceases to work. Where is the individual
laborer who dare assert his liberty
and act as he pleases in the matter
Where is the individual contractor or
employer who can carry on business
as he thinks best? In the ante-bellum
days, we all remember how slavery was
defended on account OF its benefit to the
slave. But is servitude to a single man
less of slavery than servitude to
an organization? In it not time
that the dormant energies of the nation
arose and speedy and summary stop
be put to every euch trespaes on any
mans liberty? Are we going to drift
along until this contest ends in bloody
struggle The business man becoming the
slave of combines the laboier of trades
unions and organizations. History re-
peats itself. Kansas introduced the
great civil war. Do err in forecasting
the future when l affirm that on the
plains of some great central state con-
fict between the domination of organizes
ton and the liberty OF each individual
will be precipitated? Elsewhese in the
nation the cry for socialism comes largely
from the dissipated, lazy and dishonest.
There it comes from the conBerva-
tive class of farmers, with sym
patty for the purpose which
actuates them, / am convinced that

By the Associated Press.
SAN Francisco, Jaly Alive thous-
and people attended the bicycle races at
Central park this afternoon. While
there were not 30 many grand stand
finishes as Monday, the contests were
marked by more genuine racing.
For the quarter-mile dash, Zeigler
OF San Jose won brilliant victory, de-
feating Fox, the Cotton flyer, and es-
tablishing new coast record, 32
seconds. There were five hests, lei
gler defeating Foster and Wells in the
second, when the fast time was made,
and Terrell, Upson and Toepke in the
final.
Lewis Fox of Coltons distinguished
himself by winning the one-mile cham
pionship. Foster, the former coast
champion, was unexpectedly defested in
the fret heat by Rose of Oakland, and
was consequently shut out of the final.
Wells and Fox tied in the second heat
and were both eligible for the final, in
which the starters were Rose, Fox,
Wells and Terrell. Fox took strong
lead from the start. He was pressed
hard by Wells. but after fine effort,
fniehed in 2:45 5, winning the coast
championship.
Hall of Los Angeles won the two-mile
handicap in 300 80. There were 13
starters in the final; Fox and Foster
starting from the scratch, Hall having
1876 yards. Fox made a tremendous
effort to win, but Hall beat him by less
than foot.
w. A. Terrill won the half mile ham
dicap over Alexander of Pale Alto. after
a very exciting finish. Ziegler OF San
Jose wss one of several others in this
race. He started out at furious pace,
but was crowded out by other riders on
the turns, and had to give up. Terriil
had Is yards start.
Fox having started from the scratch
in the two mile handicap, and having
been narrowly defeated, is nevertheless
entitled to the honor of reducing the
coast record from 5 "a to 8 :09 3-5. These
races close the tournament.

EDITORS HERALD: The Times OF this

they ought to thank somebody that
there has been delay, and that up to
this day our streets are not paved, for ii
they were they would be responsible tor
vet made in the city Of
Pasadena p. -Sy BY any y council. The .' sewer
tomfoolery would not be circumstance
to it. II, after what had happened in
the money market and circumstances
done in the city of Pasadena for the
years Of 1893, somebody ought to be
held very severely responsible for
ing the streets OF Our city.
The property owners cannot afford
to pay for it, and most OF the people
that want it done do not own foot OF
land on the streets sought to be paved.
To bond the property to do this work is
worse than folly and ought by no means
to be done. Such an arrangement, un-
less the bonds to be issued could be paid

time on or before the time of their expi-
ration, will prove the worst kind of in
cumbrance, as property owners will
find out to their great sorrow
when they wish to make a sale
Of property. This thought OF issuing
bonds is a stupendous fraud which
everyone does not see or understand.
Again, every thing goes to show-by
the way the dogs tail Is wagging and
the fur raises on the cats back-thst
we have got to pay two prices for any
paving that may be laid under the pres
eut order of things. Every movement
looking towards this business forebodes
evil. Let all of the property
owners rise as Cne man against
this hasty step in our street
paving. We must gain better vantage
ground before we can stand the strain
that will be put upon our resources.
