A late bulletin of the census depart
ment shows that town lots bear the bulk
of the mortgage indebtedness which
agitators never weary Of saying is borne
exclusively by the farmers. The total
amount of mortgage indebtedness on
June l, 1890, was S6,0l9,679,985, repre-
senting 4,77.7,69s mortgages. or this
amount S3,S1o,531,5 54 was on lots and
$2,2o9. las, 431 on acres. During the de-
cade the indebtedness on lots increased
in amount 216.S0 per cent and on acres
70.s9 per cent, while the increase in
acreage covered by mortgage was 65.36
per cent and in lots 1877 % per cent. In
thirty states the debt on acres was 1857
per cent of the value OF the land. These
figures show the mortgage indebtedness
of the farmers to be one third OF the
mount claimed by the agitators. 81. ~.

1t is barely possible that some of the
pop, gun" free trade bills, introduced
and passed by the house in aarush at
the time it passed the Senate protective
trust bill, may become laws as they have
been amended by the senate finance
committee, have been reported back to
the senate and placed OF the calendar.
The amendments made to these free
trade bills by the senate committe and
the discussion they gave rise to, are of
special interest at this time whether the
bills pass the senate or not.
Mr.. Allison stated that the free
barbed wire bill does not provide for free
bar5ed wire at all, as it places a duty up
on the manufactured article, while ad-
hitting the material free. He reminded
the senate that the Wilson bill provided
for a . per cent ad valorem duty on
barbed wire, but the senate had reduced
it. ~
Dir. Aldrich, another republican men,
Der of the finance committee, denied;that
the substitute bill just reported was by
the unanimous vote Of the committee, as
it had been opposed by all the repubIi-
can members. The house had desired to
put btrbed wire on the free list to Bone
fit the farmers, but in it's haste 1t had
done just the opposite,
The sugar bin as agreed upon is
amended so as to provide for a duty of
40 per 9 n straight, on sugar, without
any differential or refined sugar, or any
extra duty on sugar imported from
countries paying a bounty; in other
words it NJ the new tariff, bin rate, minus
the diffsrential.
Tue idea OF the democratic members
OF the committee is that this rate would
furnish sufficient revenue without Civ
ing the sugar trust any advantage.
Tbs coal bill is SO amended as to provide
for reciprocity on this article by the adj
mission free of duty of coal imported
from countries which admit coal from
this country free. Coal imported from
countries imposing a duty on our coal is
to be made dutiable at the rate in ex-
istence when this bill shall 60 into effect.
The amendment to the barbed wire
Eill provides for the free admission OF
barbed wire and all other fencing wire.
and the rods from which they are made.
The Tree iron ore bill was not amended.
The republican members of the COM
mittee offered amendments of their "
to the bill. One of the amendments
offered was that presented in the mate
by Senator Hill for the repeal of the in
come lax. They also sought to have the
gsyeppe duty supplanted by a provision
for free sugar with q bounty. They
voted solidly against the bills, but did
not seek to delay the report upon them.

LOOK OUT FOR SUFFERS.

There remain but ten working days un-
til the election. A great work for this
city has been brought TO an effective point
within the last four weeks. A very large
proportion. if not a majority, of our vo tiers
have become convinced that the interest of
the city requires the success of the Nom
Partisan ticket. This is point of van
tage, but 1t may be lost if the friends Of
good government do not put themselves on
guard at the polling places. The Nom
Partisan committee having no fund drawn
from corporations or candidates TO dis
tribute among its workers, relies largely
upon volunteers. There are several thou
sand names on the voting register which
have no right to be there. These names
will be voted on election day unless meas
ures are taken to prevent it. The Non
Partisan committee knows pretty nearly
where the bulk of these suffers are regis
tered. and it invites volunteers to run the
suffers down. As false registration is a
penitentiary offense, most of the suffers
may be scared off by a commencement of
systematic work to prevent illegal voting.
ln all the precincts there are young vigor-
GUS men who are personally acquainted
with almost every voter in their precinct.
Such men can do good work for the city
by seeing that no man votes any ticket un-
less he can es blish his right to vote.

TRAFFIC ASSOCIATION REPORT.

The three points upon which the Traffic
Associations report dwells with the great
est emphasis are the necessity of keeping
the sea route open, the equally binding
necessity of opening roads into the interior
of the State and the utter inability of the
Southern Pacific to give the coast cheap
transportation If it were so disposed. The
sea route can be kept open ii it is well
patronized. 1t has maintained the rates
established by the North American Navi-
CATION Company, but as the Panama
Company is not vitalIy interested in Cali
fornia it is not expected TO do a losing
business. 1t stands our shippers in hand
therefore to see that the Panama steamers
are well patroniZed.
Concerning the San Joaquin road Mr.
Leeds, who is presumed to have written
the report, confesses to little surprise
that sef-Interest does not move the
people of this city and State to more
prompt and vigorous action. There Is no
doubt expressed of the final result, but
few people seem to realize the value of the
proposed road as means of connecting
the city with the interior by bonds that
neither will want to break. Mr.. Leeds
even thinks it necessary to remind the
public that they are not asked to give
something, but to buy something; that
stock in the proposed road will be as good
an investment as offers without taking into
consideration the benefits that will result
to the community. The transcontnental
roads cannot be relied upon to supply COM
petition. They are all so heavily bur-
dehed by debts that do not represent a
value received that transportation at the
cost OF service is impossible. They are
compelled TO pay interest on twice or three
times the amount of money that has been
used in the construction OF the roads. and
consequently they cannot fix rates to cor
| respond with the reduction in values. They
are caught in period of depression with a
gold debt in amount greater than the value

cisco as for New York. Much of its sig
nifcance arises from the fact that In ma
t1onal politics the Herald is thoroughly
Democratic. 1t is Journal also that Is
believed to possess keener insight into
the minds of people than most journals
Lave. 1t likes to lead, but is careful not
to get too far ahead of the people 1t leads.
The time often comes when leaders of
public opinion are called upon to sacrifice
feelings TO the good of the public. The
Herald has been friendly to Tammany
and to the national party that TammanV
represents. But it cannot follow that or
ganization into the depth of iniquity the
late Investigation has disclosed. AT some
risk of loss to the national party in respect
to members Of Congress and of the Legis-
lature it now declares that Tammany
must be overthrown. But Tammany will
not yield lis rich prize without struggle.
Its political life depends upon its control
of the patronage of the city. There will
be hard fight, and if Tammany is saved
it will be through the influence of Senator
Hill in holding the people to their party

THE CAMPAIGN TIDE.

The NOn-Partisan campaign is swinging
along with ever increasing momen tum. 1t
is gaining strength every day at the cost
of its opponents Especially it is profting
by their blunders. Good citizens can be
fooled sometimes by machine politicians,
but they dc not like to be openly imposed
upon. For one thing they do not care to
have their votes neutralized by those of
suffers. As both the boss organizations
are unblushingly engaged in tnat business
they are arousing the disgust of the deeent
mem bers of both the regular parties. The
latter realize that it is poor politics and
worse government which depend upon
such methods. Consequently they are
fiocking to the party that employs decent
campaign methods.
Perhaps this disgust with boss methods
may actually cost the bosses quite as
many votes as the purposes of their cam
paign. Many men are so constituted that
they will kick hardest at that which is
nearest to them. The objects of the bosses
are a little removed. but may be near
enough to arouse every thinking man to
the menace which they convey. They are,
in brief, the spoliation OF the city through
the capture of municipal Offices and the
robbery of city and State by delivering
both over to the tender mercies of the rail-
road company. When these purposes are
put side by side with the methods adopted
to carry them out it seems impossible that
any honest and Intelligent voter can be in
doubt for moment as to how he should
vote. The sole remedy for such a state of
affairs is the election of the Nop- Partisan
municipal ticket and the defeat of the boss
legislative candidates.
That the people are rapidly coming to
this conclusion is evident from daily de-
velOpments. 1t is no wonder that the
Non-Partisan tide is flowing strong. The
only wonder is that it is not sweeping
food. 1t will become so before election
day if the people properly realize what
they have at stake

HOW CHINESE GET WORK.

The New York San breaches concise
sermon on text emanating from San
Francisco to the following effect: NEARLY
one-half the Chinese now in the State live
in San Francisco. They are all employed
at good wages" The Sun finds similar
conditions prevailing in New York. That
journal says:
We have not heard any complaints OF the
hard times from the pig-tailed heather OF Mott
street, or any other part OF the Chinese quar-
Ter. We have not seen any Chinese beggars.
We do not know that any Chinese have asked
for charity. We feel sure that neither Wong
Chin Foo nor ION Lee has had any occasion to
ask for 1t.
The Chinese are mostly at work, and a
good many of them receive good wages.
Many are employed at wages white men
would gladly accept. But the Chinese
have an elastic standard which enables
them to secure work without permanently
lowering their general rates. If a white
man or white woman bids under their
regular rates they will make whatever
concession is necessary to retain the work.
Seamstresses who have offered to do work
at less than Chinese rates have found
after little that to hold their work they
put in. When the white seamstress is
driveg off. the cheerful satisfaction with
which the Chinese manager would an-
nounce that old rates would be restored
has often been remarked. Comparatively
few of the Chinese are free. They have
little to say about their wages. They do
not generally know what arrangement
has been made with their owner. Even
those who have worked out their period of
enslavement are easily convinced that it
will not be good for them to set up for
themselves. The fact that the Chinese
can underbid the whites TO get work arises
from two wel-knOwn facs: FIRST. they
are mostly adult men with no one hut
themselves to support; second, their hab-
its of life enable them to thrive under con-
ditions that would unfit the average white
man or white woman for work. They are
hardy, abstemioEs and cheerful-minded.
Their motto is to get what they can a1d to
lake what they can get. In time Ameri-
cans may be reduced TO this condition, but
just at present it comes little har1. But
free trade and free immigration are stern
disciplinarians.
