Has Trouble Over Bill.

James D. Latimer, printer, was ar
rested yesterday afternoon on charge of
battery preferred by E. FL. Wakeman, an
attorney at law. The latter's personal ap-
pearance fully substantiated his claim to
having been battered. His lip was swol-
len, and there were sundry boot marks
upon his clothing.
1t seems Wakeman owed Latimer $40
on printing bill, which the latter had
called to collect. The attorney said he
had no money ard Latimer got sarcastic.
''Do you ever pay bills?" he asked.
''What do you mean by insulting me
like that?" responded Wakeman, and they
began to exchange compliments.
Latimer contended tnat he had called to
collect the bill on several occasions, Wake
man denying that the printer had pre-
sen ted his billet on more than one oc-
casion.
Wakeman said he felt insulted, opened
the door. took the printer by the arm and
gently pushed. Latimer, according Ia
Wakeman, struck the latter in the jaw,
following up the blow with several kicks
in the region of the abdomen, and even
higher.

OUR POSTOFFICE.
Its Proud Position Among Those of

The San Francisco Postoffice ranks very
high with the other first-class Presidential

the growth has been steady.
In discussing the business of the Office

'Our office in the matter of business COM
pares very favorably with the other large
cities of the country, and we are proud of

questions as: III the Mckinley tariff is
sucb an Ubiquitous thing, why are the
Democrats so long In repeating it?' These
questions are OF course not asked be-

intends to permit tariff reform TO be over

restoration Of confidence. Under the ope-
rations of the Sherman law silver accu-
mulated so rapidly in the Treasury. while
there was a heavy drain on the gold re-
serve, that the country was threatened
with a monometalism OF silver. This
caused everybody TO be frightened: capt.
talists and lenders OF money refused to
lend any more, lest tho loan should be
repaid them in fifty cent dollars thereby
losing half their money, while depositors
In banks became uneasy lest their de-
posts should be returned to them in de-

where became panicky and this condition
of affairs still continues in modified
form. There will, indeed, always be more

But although the repeal OF the Sherman
law is the first thing 10 be considered,
tariff reform need not be delayed. The
Committee on Ways and Means can be
appointed Immediately after the House is
organized. and they can get TO work

be reported as soon as the Silver Pur-
chase law is disposed Of. Such a course
would be no less beneficial in restoring
confidence TO the commercial world than
would the repeal Of the Sherman law. since
then the people would know what they
had to expect in the way OF tariff re-
vision, and all uncertainty on that point
will be removed.
It took Mr.. Harrison and his Congress
two years to get the country into its
present unfortunate condition. II the
next Congress, however. will repeal
the Sherman law and effect tariff reform
also before the 4th of March, President
Clev Gland will have the satisfaction Of
seeing the effects Of Radical misrule re-
moved during the first year of his admin
istration, and perfect confidence and pros
perity take the place Of uncertainty and
