scored until time was nearly up in the
first half when'afte long runs by Wilson

few yards of the visitors goal and Evans
forced the centre for a touchdown. Con
siderable fumbIing was done in the first
half. Constable took II. Wilson's place
at quarter. back in the second half, and
in a few minutes Wilson scored the Sc
cond touchdown By a long paas and runs
around the ends. Constable scored the
third touchdown. Owing to the gale of
wind prevalent during the game no goals
were kicked. The visitors worked hard,
but they were no match for the home
team. Only once in the entire game
did they come near scoring; then the ball
had been fumbled in long pass and
secured by them, and carried to within
a few feet of the Elkton's goal line but
was tackled after long run by Fl.

TRIUMPH OF THE GoLD-BUGs.

The gold-bugs have won their fight
for the present. No earthly amount OF
ingenuity can gloss over that fact. The
triumph of Wall street was gained by
the direct interposition of the presi-
dent. His influence, when exerted
within the lines of the traditions of the
country, is naturally powerful with his
party; but it was not pleasing specta-
Gle to gee the peremptory manner in
which he threw his personal weight
into the contest. The cause of silver
also largely owes its defeat to the
treachery OF men who had been loud
mouthed in their professions of devo-
ton to the white metal. Amongst
these was Senator D. w. Voorhees, him
self, who had charge of the repeal
measure. The people can attend to
thoee persons who have given the
lie to their professions. There need
be no doubt whatsoever about
that. The man who really believes
that the United States should be
turned over to the gold bugs may be
looked upon even by those partial to
silver as mistaken but respectable. But
the man who paltered in double sense,
or who went square back on the profess
ions by which he gained Office, will find
his level as sure as the sun rises and
sets in the heavens. The bill, as it
passed the senate, will undoubtedly be
passed by the house with great expedi-
ton. 1t need surprise no one if the ul-
innate effect OF the measure should be
the reorganization Of parties on the
basis of the west and south against the
east. More surprising things than that
have happened.

CONSOLIDATED CHARITIES.

There will be a very important meet
ing this afternoon for the purpose of
consolidating the charity organizations
of this city. There is pressing need for
this. Including the church relief socie-
ties, there are no less than thirty-fve
organizations in this city that dispense
charities. The result of this dispersion
OF the benevolent forces is that in their
desultory work they frequently overlap,
and are imposed upon. Another result
is that there is great and unnecessary
waste OF energy, and consequent inei-
fciency, in carrying out the work. This
is especially discouraging at the present
time, when the legitimate demand for :e-
lief ia much greater than it ever was be-
fore. The meeting today will probably
result in an organization that will be
effective, and enable the associated char
tiles to take care Of the eleemosynary
business OF thia city in fine shape. We
are assured that if all who can afford it
will become members of the coneoli.
dated organization and subscribe only one
dollar q year each. that it will have the
means to meet all the demands that may
be made upon it, The benefit, however,
will not end at this, With such an or.
ganization in perfect working order the
present pressure upon individual benev-
oence would be done away with. All
applications for miscellaneous charity
could be referred to the consolidated
board Of relief with the certainty that
they would be properly attended to.
With reference to the late arrivals OF
unemployed men who come on the
trains in great numbers, the city ought
to make some provision for feeding
them. These men are utterly destitute,
and only desire 10 appeeSe their hunger
as they make their way eastward. The
tax u!Aon the few business men end
houses that have furnished them with
meals 30 far has been great, and as We
may look for the continued arrival OF
these famished pilgrims, it would only
be right that the city authorities should
assume the responsibility of appeasing
their hunger as they pass through Los
Angelica. The city could, at little ex-
pense, make such provision as would
meet this extraordinary emergency.

Uncle Sans Interests Must be Protected

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-Senator Brice
held three hours's conference with the
attorney-gener today, discussing the
affairs OF the Union Pacific railroad, try
ing to find means of protecting the gov
ernment interests in the road. Brice
said, after the conclusion of the confer
ence, the governments claim against
the Union Pacific should be collected if
the stockholders and their estates should
have to pay for it. 1t is understood the
attorney general is taking steps to have
the receivers recently appointed by the
United Statesscourt fat Omaha removed,
and that proceedings to this end will
probably be instituted within week.
The resolution of Senator Henderson,
amended at the instance of Brice, which
the senate adopted few days ago,
seemed TO assume that the court had no
right to appoint receivers, and it is
probable the attorney-general will take
this position. Brice says he is engaged
in formulating measure in accordance
with the bills and resolutions referred to
his committee for the protection Of the
government interest.

HOW JUVENILE TRAMPS SHOULD BE
CARED FOR.

In short comment we made two
days since on the fact that great num-
ber of boys, from to 15 years of age,
had been recently brought before Judge
Austin as vsgrant tramps, we threw out
the suggestion that the government
should provide training ships to which
these Juveniles could be sent. Our new
ravy will require much larger number
of sailors than can now be obtained, and
there, should bs nurseries established
where the boys of the country could
serve an efficient apprenticeship to sup
ply the crews necessary to man our new
war ships.
The boys who are now tramping over
the country would furnish the best kind
OF material for this purpose. Great
Britain, the most powerful naval gov
eminent in the world, recruits her ships
from training schools established at all
her ports. The writer saw band OF
i've hundred of these apprentices, neatly
and jauntily clad in blue, marching
through the streets of Liverpool on their
way to training ships on the Mersey.
These boys were being carefully schooled
to take their place in the British navy;
and the marvellous success OF Great
Britain as a maritime power is due to
the fact that her sailors are graduates of
these training schools. and are thus
made thorough in their duties from the
ground up.
it is only recently that tender youths
in large numbers have become profes-
sional tramps. When they have been
brought before our police judge he was
confronted with a Difficult. problem.
The Whittier reform school is carrying
as many juveniles as it can we'll handle,
bat as these boys come from all parts
OF the Union it wonld not be just to the
taxpayers OF this state to have their
maintenance foisted upon them. To re-
turn them to their vagrant life, on the
other hand, is to place them in an
almost certain way of becoming hopeless
criminals, and this is a course which
humanity naturally revolts at.
The government requires just such an
element for its future navy, and what
would be more humane and just solu-
tion of this grave problem than for the
government to establish number of
training schools in the maritime states
to which these youths might be sent to
enter upon useful and honorable Ca
reer. Thsre are a number of retired
old warships at Mare Island that could
be converted into training schools.
These would soon turn out capable tars
to fill up the crews OF our new battle
ships, and in few years We would not
only have an American navy composed
OF new American ships, but manned by
American sailora. At present the crews
are mainly made up from foreign sail
ors, many OF whom could not be de.
pended upon if hostilities should arise
with the countries to which they be-
long.
This is a matter which should be at
once brought to the attention OF con-
gress. The number OF juvenile tramps
is rapidly increasing, and if the police
judges had the authority to send the
vsgrant boys to training ships instead
of to reiormatory schools they would be
relieved OF grave and difficult perplex-
ity. 1t 10 the governments duty to take
care of these boys, and it can do so in
this way to its own great advantage and
the relief OF its citizens.

An Alleged Secret Treaty Between Bra

Rio JANEIRo, Oct. 30.-It is stated
that secret treaty between the United
States and Brazil has been signed. This
treaty, it is said. is in addition to the
commercial treaty of 1891, and is said to
involve the United States in support OF
Brazil, if the latter country asks for
support. 1t is also said that the United
States is pledged to support the Brazil
ian government in case of an attempt to
restore the monarchy. The rebel
movements at Bahia are said to be in
huenced by the monsrchists. with HON
Admiral Mello might ultimately join
issues. In that case, it is said the
Intervention of the United States would
be justified.

an attempt being made to restore the

The HERALD erroneously stated in it's
Sunday mornings issue that Judge
Shaw had Issued mandamus, directed
to Auditor Tesle, commanding that gen.
tleman to audit the bill OF the city
librarian. Miss Tessa L. Kelso, for the
lump sum of 5000. for what would be
called q junketing trip to Chicago If it
had been made by gentleman instead
of lady. The inadvertence arose from
the fact that a reporter confounded
Judge Shaw's issuance OF an order to
Auditor Teale, commanding him to show
cause why he should not audit the Kelso
claim, with the entirely different pro-
ceeding embodied in the report which
crept into the HERALD. Reporters are
human and laymen and they are liable,
once in while, to get the cart before
the horse, so to speak. The fact 10 that
the matter will cone before Judge Shaw
Saturday next, will be argued, will prob
ably be taken under advisement by the
judge, and decided. As it has at lsst
reached the courts for solution we leave
it there, having no doubt that it will be
decided according to the learned judges
appreciation of the law governing the

THR CRANK EVOLUTION.

1t looks very much as if the accom-
modating crank has started out to give
the public number of very lurid sob
i4ter dispatches it would seem that
there was a good deal of method in
iDfendergast's madness if it is true, as
has been stated, that he has uttered
threats against the life OF President
Cleveland. 1t is very inconvenient to
have such persons walking about, with
the uncertainty of not finding out
what they are about until some val
uable life has been sacrificed. This is
specially true of the men who occupy
exalted stations or authority or who
are conspicuous for their wealth. These
demented creatures known as crsnks are
attracted to man of note as the moth
is to tine candle, or to the arc light set
upon q pinnacle. Whether there are
more violent persons of disordered intel
lects now than there were years ago
might very readily be doubted. We are
more apt to feel the evils that are pres
ent than those which are past or pros
pective.
The crank has always existed in our
political life. One would suppose that
"Old Hickory" would be the last man
to be attacked, and yet his life was
sought by several cranks. He ha d the
somewhat peculiar experience Of having
his nose pulled while travelling on
Virginia canal. This did not discon-
cert the old hero. He prevented his
friends from following and killing Lieu
tenant Randolph, man whom he had
dismissed from the United States army,
for the latter outrage. On the inaugura-
tion of Mr.. Buchanan IN 1858 large
number of guests at the National
hotel were poisoned and many others
injured. The fiend who planned these
wholesale deaths was a crank OF the
first order. Nine years later the crank
John Wilkes Booth killed Abra-
ham Lincoln; while, sixteen years
later still Guiteau shot Presi-
dent Garfield. Matters were quite as
lively in Europe, for about the time OF
the National Hotel slaughter in Wash
ington, Orsini very nearly knocked
Louis Napoleon and his empress into
smithereens on their way to the opera.
The nephew of his uncle, though a man
of undoubted personal pluck, had to
walk very gingery to prevent himself
from being blown into eternal smash by
the crank guild. Even the inofensive
Queen Victoria has been shot at num-
ber OF times by crsnks during the course
of her long reign. We could multiply
instances indefinitely, but we have said
enough to show that the crank is by no
means an exclusive product of our
own times. Even in old Rome Silurisn
crsnks, like Brutus, Cassius and Cascs,
were occasionally heard from.
Whether cranks are more numerous
or less numerous nowadays, as compared
with the past, it is an indiaputable fact
that labor agitatcrs are far less bloody
and destructive than they were sixteen
OF seventeen years ago. Many lives
were lost, and $15, 100000 worth of prop
erty went up in smoke, in the Pittsburg
riots of July, 1877. Those rioters scared
Tom Scott, the president of the Penn
sylvsnia Railway company, so much out
of his propriety that he rushed into the
columns of the North American Review
in an article in which he advocated the
formation of an army OF one hundred
men for the purpose OF holding rioteus
