From a Workingman.
Editor LIGHT:

EulIOr LlGHI'
Callaghan, just about election time, is
very anxious about the welfare Of the
poor man, being very much afraid, as he
pretends, that the poor man will be
oppressed, but his actions belle his words.
Why is it that The cream Of the city pat
ronage is given to men who are in good
circumstances and not to the laboring
man?
What did Callaghan do when pettioned
by nearly all the wOrkingmen in the city
to reduce the hours of work by city labor
ers to eight, as is done by the United
States government? Did he not refuse it?
Had he done so all the contractors and
builders in the city would have done the
same. Did not Henry Pauly who was
chairman Of the mass meeting Saturday
night, organize the contractors and build
ers into union to resist the claims of the
laboring men to have the eight hour Sys-
TEN put in vogue?
Did not w. J. Page, the music dealer on
Main street, during the s. A. p. strike,
offer to take out an engine for the COM
pany, If he was furnished fireman. Page
claiming he was an old railroad en-
giheer?
Fellow workmen. beware of wolves in
sleeps clothing. Birds of a feather will
flock together. A WORKINGMAN.

more money had been spent on the public

SHORT STOPS.
What the peo ole are Saying.


No feature OF the city campaign i'm
presses the people with more gravity than
the effort of the Paschal ticket to secure
a fair, equal representation on the cleo
tion boards, aud the settled determination
of the Callaghan crowd to prevent fair
representation of both tickets.
The ordinance is prepared at the in
stance of the city council TO supplement
the state law, this ordinance provides for
this fair, equal, representation, but reg
ular meeting of the council is prevented
by breaking quorum.
That this was the program was evident
to any observer at the city ball yester
day evening. The city hall crowd were in
great glee; Callaghan was working his
little tricks to defeat the will Of the peo-
pie.
1t is desperate state Of affairs, when
to succeed at an election the parties in
power use their offices to down the will
Of the people; to lopenly advertise that
they propose to run the voting polls to
suit themselves. Is there no remedy?
There is law, there is justice, there is
the very essence of American freedom
and American institutions at the back of
Il
count but the people will not trust any
one-sided board of election judges to do
this work.
The Paschal men will exhaust every
| legal remedy to secure fair representa-
ton, but the great mass of voters who
value their right of franchise must hurl
themselves like an avalanche against the
political machine that openly threatens to

Over Seventy-Five Buildings Now I'm
der Construction.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. lon account of
the inclemency of the weather for the last
few days. work on the various buildings
at the exposition grounds has been some
what delayed, but the weather has now
cleared and everything will be pushed as
rapidly as possible from this on.
Engineer Hunt, who is in charge of the
mechanical Department of the exposi-
ton, expresses great satisfaction at the
progress made in his department.. He
reports that the space is practically filed
in that structure. One of the most at
tractive exhibits to be shwon in this build
ing will be that made by the General
Electric Company. This exhibit will be
equal to some of the grand electric dis
plays made at Chicago.
Word was officially received to-day
through the Consul of the French Gov
ernment, to the effect that the Minister
of Beaux Arts had given permission to all
French artists who were represented at
the Columbian Exposition, to avail them
selves of the opportunity offered in the
same connection coming from the Mid
winter Exposition. This permission will
result in the exposition securing collec-
ton of paintings which were literally the
talk of the Chicago Exposition, and will
add greatly to the interest attached TO the
art display.
A meeting of viticulturists was held to-
day in the Safe ViticulJural rooms, at
which the State Viticultural Committee
agreed to appropriate $1,000 to aid in
making a suitable display, and a sub
scription started on the spot resulted in
raising 81 900 additional. A special COM
mittee of ten was appointed to carry the
work forward in the viticultural counties
of the State.
Grading for the site of the Vienna prater
was completed to-day. The grading for
the Los Angeles building is about fin
lshed.
The contract for the construction of the
San Joaquin County building has been
let. and the work on that structure will
begin on Monday.
In the locality of the San joaquin
County building will be the Canadian
headquarters, the Ann Hathaway cottage,
the Y aqui Indian camp and the ostrich
farm, location, in fact, which promises
to be one of the busiest of the entire ex-
position.
Among the concessions which have not
yet made much showing in the grounds
is the Esqulmaux village, which will be
located south of the south drive. Public
interest in this exhibit is sure to be en-
hanced by the fact that Alaska belongs to
the United States. The village will con-
tain about fifty persons, men, women,
boys and girls.
There are now over seventy-five build
ings under course of construction at the
exposition grounds.

GERMAN kEICHsrAG.

Resolution Passed to Readmit Jesuits
into the Country.
BERLIN, Dec. 1.-The Centrists in the
Reichstag to-day introduced motion to
readmit members of the Society of Jesus
into Germany.
Count Kopmesch- Ruenich, in behalf of
the Center party, made short speech in
justification of the motion.
Manteuffel declared the Conservatives,
with few exceptions, would oppose the
motion.
Morbach Qmperialist) and Marquard-
sen National Liberal stated their parties
would also oppose the motion.
Holleuffer German Conservative said
he and some his friends would abstain
from voting.
Lotze (Anti-Semite said his party
would vote as they chose.
Schroeder announced the Freisinnige
party would vote against the proposition.
The Reichstag, by vote of 173 TO 1876,
adopted the Centrists' motion to readmit
the JesuitS into Germany.
When the cheering over the result had
subsidized Lieber spoke, saying the Catho-
lies adhered to the course they had hith-
erto followed, and would remain faithful
to the Emperor and the Empire, and 10y
ally devoted to the Fatheriand. Loud
cheering.
No members of the Government party
took a share in the debate.
DR.. Lieber, after declaring that the
Catholic Church requires the services of
Jesuits in order to enable it to discharge
it's divine mission, repelled the charges
against Curia, TO the effect that it was
pursuing policy inimical to German
national interests. Cardinal Rampolla,
Papal Secretary of State, continued DR..
Lieber, only recently declared that the
Holy See avoided all interference in po-
litical organizations, both of the Drei-
bund and the powers opposed. But DR..
Leiber asserted that if it should ever oc-
cur that the Holy See displayed an in
tention to pursue policy friendly to the
Russo-F French alliance the German Cath
olics would not allow their Interpretation
of the dogma of Papal infalIibility to be
so stretched as to deter them from full
filling their political duties to the Ger
man people and to the German Empire.
The vote will have no practical results.
It has been fully understood from the
first that the Government would not ac-
cept the bill, and the Centrists, in bring
ing the motion to a vote, only wished to
prove their ability to command enough
members TO embarrass the Government
and carry other points.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The meeting of
the Ways and Means Committee to-day
was brief. Estimates to be submitted
showing the probable difference in the
revenue that would result from the new
bill are not complete and the committee
adjourned until Monday to give Clerk
Talbot and his assistants further time.
The labor Of estimating the revenue to be-
derived under the new tariff bill has
progressed far enough to warrant the
statement that on basis of the imports
of 1892 the loss of revenue resulting from
the enactment of the new bill would be-
about $50, ,000.0 900 per annum.
1t is the conclusion of Chairman wills
son and his Democratic associates that the
importations will be so stimulated under
the new bill that the loss of revenue Wilt
not be over $50. 100000.
Mr.. Tarsney. of the Ways and Means
Committee, still clings to the belief that.
the deficit cannot be supplied without
extending the income tax to individuals.
81 don't think it can be DONE" said he,
without making the tax on the net earn
lngS Of corporations excessive. Such q
tax as 2 per cent. would secure to the
Government not more than So, ,000,0 900,
whereas the deficiency would be nearly
$4,000, 900. l can't see how tobacco can
stand any greater tax. If the rate on
whisky is advanced ten cents per gallon,
from that source there will be about
$4,000, 900 more, which is still short of the
amount required. hardly think we could
get along without help from personal
income tax. If an income of over 5000
were taxed at rate OF per cent. it would
put into the treasury over $4,000, ,000.o
The Democratic members OF the Conn
mittee on Ways and Means will meet to-
morrow afternoon to further consider the
income tax and the internal revenue
schedule. EXPRESSIONS of members of
the committee give no reason for believ-
ing that the increase of the whisky tax
will exceed ten cents, and some think it
doubtful whether there will be any in
crease. The subcommittee is debating
the advisability of making any increase
in the whisky tax applicable to all
whisky in hand at the time the new tariff
law goes into effect.
Senator Dolph of Oregon announces
that when the new revenue bill comes up
for consideration he will present histor-
ical address for the purpose of proving
that the United States never had any
prosperity except when there was pro-
tective tariff, and from the colonial days
free trade has meant debased labor.
Representative Holman favors an in
come tax as just and equitable mode of
raising revenue. The national debt
should be gradually eXtinguished and
the rate of Government expenditures
greatly reduced.

joys of Wooden Wedding Celebra-
ton Turned Into Sorrow.
ORovILLE, Dec. Last evening about
one hundred of the friends Of Mr.. and
Mrs. g. H. Cordy of the United States
Hotel gathered at the latter place to cele-
brate the wooden wedding of the land
lord and his wife. Among the guests
were Frederick E. Stroever and wife, the
latter being daughter Of Mrs. COrdy. at
10:30 and while ex-senator A. f. Jones
was performing the wedding ceremony,
Mr.. Stroever began coughing and mo-
ment later spit up blood. He soon grew
faint and was placed in chair and car
ried to his bedroom, where he expired
within ten minutes from the time he first
began coughing. Among the guests was
DIR. Karsner, who instantly attended him,
but medical skill was OF no avail, and the
merry party was almost instantly turned
into party of mourners. Mr.. Stroever
was an old resident and well-known bus
mess man Of this town.

Secretary Hoke Smith Submits His
Annual Report.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-Secretary of the
Interior Hoke Smiths annual report re-
views the work of all branches of the
department during the past year. He
comments on the utter inadequaey of
legislation thus far enacted to provide for
the legitimate procurement OF public tim
ber to supply actual necessities of the
people dependent upon it. To promote
settlement and develop the natural re-
sources of public lands, legislation pro-
viding for a wise and comprehensive
system is recommended.
The Secretary discusses at length the
opening of the Cherokee strip. lie
recommends substitute for the present
system OF settlement by the adoption by
Congress OF some plan which, by auction,
lottery or otherwise, it may determine in
advance the ownership OF each particular
section.
The work of the Indian Bureau shows
a steady advance in civilization. TT is
mistake" says the Secretary, ''to suppose
that their number is rapidly decreasing.
On the contrary the tribal wars and the
wars with the whites having ceased, they
are increasing, and now number over
250, ,000."
The recent troubles in the Choctaw Ma
ton is touched upon at length. The Sec
retary urges the prompt passage of the
bill now pending before Congress extend
ing the jurisdiction of the United States
in Indian Territory, SO as to include the
right of removal of all cases where local
prejudice is shown without regard TO citi4
zenship.
The Secretary states that he now feels
confident that every effort is being con-
scientiously made to bring the Federal
census to a close, and render it as useful
as possible when finished.
The Secretary states in his estimate Of
expenses for the department that great
majority Of the proposed improvements
were rejected, only those actually neces-
sary for the conduct of public business

CHICAGO, Dec. lin the Virginia Ho-
tel, located in the heart Of the fashionable
residence district on the North Side. a
dramatic double suicide occurred this
morning. Behind a door bolted and
double-locked were found the bodies of
Victor Cyrier, drug clerk, and Mrs.
Caron, wife of a druggist for whom Cyrier
had formerly worked. The woman died
by poison, while Cyrier, after taking
poison. shot himself three times and
lay stretched across the foot of the bed
on which the woman lay.
The couple registered under a false
name as man and wife at the hotel last
Tuesday, and were apparently very
happy. When the door was forced this
morning both were found dead. They
had evidently been dead several hours.
Letters were found on the center of a
table written by both parties to relations
bidding a last farewell to dear friends,
and announcing their purpose to die to-
gether. Mrs. Caron wrote bidding fare
we'll to her husband and little child, so
young, what will she do without her
mother?' Cyrier wrote: "She died at
$50 this morning. l can't write; can't
open my eyes"
1t is evident from the letters that both
had taken poison at the same time, with
the agreement that the one surviving the
longest should die by pistol.
Cyrier boarded with the Carons while
he was working in the drugstore. Init
macy between the clerk and the wife of
the proprietor was noticed last summer,
but not by CarCn until three weeks ago,
situation, and Mrs. CarOn and Cyrier
disappeared at once. Neither was well
supplied with money, and when their
funds became exhausted by high rates at
a fashionable hotel, they agreed to sui
eide as the solution of all troubles.

The Haymarket at Chicago Badly
Damaged by Flames and Water.
CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-The Haymarket
Theater, Madison street, near Halstead,
on the West Side, one of the handsomest
in the city, caught on fire this morning.
1t was bad day for fire, as the tempera-
ture was below zero. with a sharp wind
from the west, which caused the fire ap-
paratus to ice up rapidly. The fire was
finally extinguished after the interior
was drenched and the foyer destroyed.
entailing a loss to the theater and to the
stores in front and Offices above, mostly
by water, of 100000. The theater was
named froni the Haymarket Square, the
scene of the famous anarchist riot, near
which it is situated. 1t is managed by
