The Democrats are in trouble over
the tariff. In fact it is given out
that the tariff may not be reached
for a year, as Congress will be en-
gagged on other business. When the
result of the election was known,
one universal acclaim went forth
that the ''robber tariff must 60,
and go quick. A calm review of the
situation discloses the fact that a re-
duction of the tariff means a tax on
coffee, tea and sugar, to raise reve-
nue. to meet the expenses of the
Government; hence the Democrats
are dreading the tariff question just
now, like a burnt child breads the
fire.

Editorial Inspiration In Missouri.

Now doth the rural editor lay his
weary pen aside after inditing a leader
-on What Shall We Do with Our Gold?"
and hieth him to the bosom of his fam
lily. On his way he passeth the market
place, where he espieth many portly
watermelons, and longeth to cool his
fevered face in the sugary depths there
of. He searches his pockets, hoping
that he may discover a shekel of silver,
or p~eradventure Il dime, whereby his
curcubitaceous hopes may end in frui-
ton, but findeth none. He loudly be-
waileth the stringency of the times,
and meditateth an editorial upon the
monetary situation, which shall be
double loaded. He pondereth long and
deeply, and in his next issue craftily
offereth a six months subscription for
the largest melon to be left at his sane
tum, when, 10! in two days the Office
is filled with the fruit, and he rejoiceth
as n whose cup runneth over, while
his wife preserveth the rinds for many
days.

SOME of our Democratic exchanges

SOME of our Democratic exchanges
seem to be worrying over what
course Hon, A. A. Taylor will pur-
sue in regard to the next contest in
this district. Mr.. Taylor has author
lied the statement that he will not
be a candidate, and that when his
successor is nominated, he will roll
up his sleeves and help secure his
election. This ought to satisfy our
Democratic brethren as to what Mr..
Taylor will do.

TO OUR PATRONS.

1t is an unpleasant thing to us to be
compelled to dun our patrons, but as so
many of them are in arrears and the
money is so sorely needed, and is not
coming in, no other course is open to us.
While no one owes a great deal, the
aggregate is considerable, and will, if
we can get it, aid us greatly in carrying
on the paper. While we have to pay
the cash for labor and material, we
will, if you have not got the money to
pay, accept produce of any kind, such
as wheat, corn, oats, fruit, potatoes,
wood, chickens, lard, in fact anything
we a use in any way. All we ask is
what is due us as a recompense for our
labor We have sent out a collector
this week with a number of bills, and
hope that when he calls you will be
prepared to settle, and that no one will!
take offense at the presentation of the
bills. Help us now, friends, and we
promise you a good paper in the future
and one fully worth all we ask for it.
We will furnish the Herald and Trib-
une and American Farmer and Farm
News for one dollar a year, to all who
pay in advance. This is a good chance
to secure your county paper and a first
class agricultural paper for a small
amount, and none should neglect the
opportunity.

PISTOL AND KNIFE.
A Shooting and Fatal Stabbing ARRAY
in Chinatown.
Fong Tong Shot and Wounded by an
Unknown Enemy-Ah Wing
stabbed and Killed.

Chinatown is again at the front with
couple of sensational affairs, including a
shooting and stabbing affray, both OF
which occurred early last evening, the
latter resulting in the instantaneous
death of a Chinaman named Fong All
Wing.
1t appears that a few minutes to 8
o'clock Deputy Constable Frank Swift,
Jr., heard pistol shots at Third and l
streets and saw a man run into a house:
de followed and arrested him. The pris-
oner proved to be a Chinaman named
Eong Tong. He said he had nothing to
do with the shooting, but had started to
go to the Mission School, and when near
street heard the shooting and turned
back, when he received shot. He had
mis- books with him, which seems to sub
stantiate his story.
When taken to the police station DR..
Glow was telephoned for and extracted
the bali, which 10 entered his back just
under the right shoulder, and passed
through, lodging just under the skin in
'front.' of and little above the armpit, so
that it looked like small lump under
the skin.
The wounded man was then taken
home by his friends, and the officers are
investigating the case.
Some of the officers are inclined to the
opinion that the person doing the shoot
ing had made mistake and shot the
wrong man

January, 1890, he commenced the study
of law in the office of Park Henshaw at
Chico, and was admitted to practice by
the Supreme Court in August, 1882.
Having his license to practice, and,
overhowing with energy and determina-
ton, he commenced to tide over the
weary waiting which usually attends the
struggle of a young lawyer attempting to
build up practice. Locating at Downie-
vile he almost at once commanded a
lucrative practice. He married the oldest
daughter of the Hon. Lew Byington,
pioneer Of Sierra County, and in 1888 was
elected District Attorney on the RepubIi-
can ticket by the largest majority that
had been given any candidate for that
office in seventeen years. In 1890 he was
reelected to the Office without opposi-
ton, the Democrats making no nomina-
ton against him. Genial and gentle
manly, Mr.. Ford is very popular and
highly-respected in his own neighbor-
hood. By his own resources he has con-
quered his rank as one of the leading
lawyers of the mining districts.
Senator Ford has been appointed Chair
man of the Committee on Mines and
Mining Debris.
He is also member of the Committees

ment, Education, Public Morals, Finance
and Judiciary, and has introduced a bill
