Maine Customs Receipts.
Washington, September Ex-senator
Lodge, being asked today as to the pros
poets of unconditional repeal in the
Senate said: ns'
"I am sorry to say that do not think
there is prospect of any action next
week. The Federal election bill-or
rather the bill to repeal the election
laws-wilI reach the Senate on the 10th
or II tn of October, and till that bill get
over the silver party in the Senate will
prevent vote, because they wish to take
advantage of the possible complication
which may then arise, and because their
only hope is in the chapter Of accidents
AFTER the 10th of October I hope to
see determined effort on the part OF
the Democrats who are in control of the
conduct of business, to reach vote on
the silver bill. 1t is high time that, it
actual filibustering is to be resorted TO,
it should be shown to the country.
GAS to compromises, there has been, OF
course, a great deal of talk in that
direction during the week. Every one
has been discussing every possible propo-
sition which might bring an end to the
delay and uncertainty which are having
such disastrous effects, and which are
caused by the inaction. OF the Senate
do not, myself, see any prospect OF COM
promise, nor have yet heard one sug-
gested which those who favor repeal
could possibly accept.
"The Republicans who favor repeal,
and who constitute two-th1rds majority
of the party in the Senate, have not
changed their attitude in the least They
have no compromises to offer and no
suggestions of compromise to make. II
a compromise is brought forward, It
must be by the Democratic party, which
controls the Senate Whether they will
do so or not have no means OF knowing,
| but they are certainly making the at
tempt So far as the Republicans are
concerned, | have not yet heard, repeat,
of any compromise which they could
accept or which I think the President
could consistently sign.
"The only thing to do as the situation
now stands is to press steadily and ener-
geticalIy for a vote. This has not yet been
done by the Democratic leaders in the
Senate, who alone have the power to do
it, But as far as | see at present, 1T is
the only course by which we can secure
relief. In this way, l hope and believe
that we at last shall get unconditional re-
peal, but the delay is cruel, and the pros
pect of immediate action, as it looks to-
day, is far from good"

soon, the bonds will come under the act
OF 1891 Of the legislature, which is
claimed to be defective and Is now in
the courts. Mr.. Terrence stated that
paving bonds issued under this act have
q market value Of only rs cents on the
dollar, and in fact that he had for sale
Los Angeles city bonds which he would
sell for 65 cents on the dollar. He
called attention to the fact that the
price to be paid for the paving
work (31 cents) is about six cents
higher than was estimated, and
that this difference was caused by the
contractors figuring to receive 70 cents
on the dollar, thus throwing the whole
burden OF the cut on to the people who
are paying for the work. This he un-
derstood applied to Fair Oaks and Ray
mond avenue only. On Colorado street
the entire proceedings were begun over,
thus bringing the bonds under the act
OF 1893, and making them OF par value
on the market.
Mr.. Torrance's remarks are in line
with an article published in the HERALD
at the time the investigation OF the
councils proceedings was going on, in
which the validity OF the bonds was

RIVERSIDE, Aug. 1.-THE affairs Of the
Riverside Banking company are becom-
ing more and more complicated each

some time before 1t will open, although

pointed by the creditors and directors.
The San Francisco Chronicle of last
Friday prints quite a lengthy account oi
the methods of the collapsed Pacific bank
and the branch bank at Riverside. On

General Hart and requested him to re-
duce the $275, 900 owing to the Pacific
bank by the Riverside bank to $4,000
as rapidly as possible. Uuder the date
Of December 10Th, OF the same year,
the commissioners for rwarded the follow
ing letter:
william H. H. Hart, Attorney-General State
of California.
DEAR SIR: In our recent examination
of the Pacific bank, San Francisco we
find that the Riverside Banking COM
pany OF Riverside is indebted to the
Pacific bank in the sum of $2z5,000.
We have before expressed our opinion
to you of the Riverside Banking COM
pany, and we are now obliged to report
the same to you az doing an unsafe
business, for the amount of the above
indebtedness 10 30 large that it exhibits
necessity for borrowing. We have
given this bank much attention. It is
now endeavoring to increase its capital,
which, if successful, will place 1t in q
reasonably fair condition, but should
there be in the meantime an extraordi-
nary demand upon it we fear it could
not meet 1t. Yours respectfully.

one Of the coolest and most deliberate
cases of suicide that has ever occurred
in this city was that of John R. Memp-

John Wallace, who resides at the corner
of 1 and Second street. and at whose
home he was staying, and held up vial
containing strychnine and remarked
that he was going to kill himself. He
very deliberately drained the last grain
of poison and before medical assistance
could be procured he was dead. Last
Friday he made trip to Los
Angeles, where he purchased the poison.

ach Bitters, a family medicine, compre.
hensive in its scope, has never been
thrust upon public attention in the
guise Of a universal panacea for bodily
ills. This claim, daily arrogated in
the columns of the daily press by the
proprietors of medicines far inferior to
it US specifics, has in a thousand in.
stances disguised the public in advance
by its absurdity, and the prospects of
other remedies of superior qualities
have been handicapped by the preten.
tons of their worthless predecessors,
But the American people know, be.
cause they have verified the fact by
the most trying tests, that the Bitters
possesses the virtues of a real specific in
cases of malarial and liver disorder,
constipation, nervous, rheumatic,
stomach and kidney trouble. What il
does it does thoroughly, and mainly
for this reason it is Endorsed and re.
commended by hosts of respectable
medical men.
