RESULTS OF MONOPOLY.
COMMON ORIGIN OF DUDES AND
TRAMPS.
Tho One IL n Gross Between Poverty
and Crime-The Othsr "a Gross Be-
twson Nobody and
Nothing.

BALTIMORE. Aug. 22.-General Master
Workman Sovereign of the Knights OF
Labor addressed large meeting OF
workingmen last aights in the course
of which he said:
In America today there are 5000, 900
men willing and ready TO work who are
idle for want OF work to do, molding
themselves, or rather being nodded.
into fslons and beggars. Charity has
been strained as it was never strained
before, but still the cry for bread from
starving throats ia heard all over the
land. These men are being turned into
trampg.
The tramp has been described as a
cross between poverty and crime, but
think that the dude, q product OF our
civilization, can justly be described as q
cross between nobody and nothing.
Both are the results, the outcome OF
menopoly--the monopoly that unless it
is throttled, will cause the death of the
republic.

CHARGES OF IMMORTALITY NOT

Forgsr and Imposter-He VIII
Be Prosecuted for
Blnckmnil.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 22.-Rsv. A. @.
Hir0t, president OF tho University of the
Pacific, and pastor of Simpson Memorial
M. E. church in this city, has been
cleared by the ecclesiastical court OF the
charges of gross immortality preferred
against him by s. Rogers. The verdict
Of the court lie az follows:
We, the committee of investigation to
whom was submitted the accusations
against the moral character of Rev. A.
O. Hirst. by one S. Rogers, find them
msliciously and absolutely false. After
a most careful examination of the teati-
mony, it is our judgment that the
charges have their origin in wicked
conspiracy to defams the character of
the accused, and there ia no evidence in
the case that even remotely compro-
mises or reflects on DR.. Hirst as a
Christian gentleman or minister of tbs
gospel, and that he comes out OF this
investigation without the slightest
stain.
The charges against DR.. Hirst, who is
one OF the leading ministers OF the
Pacific coaBt, were OF such q ecandalous
nature that they created great seusa-
tion. Rogers, who claims to be minis.
ter, had letters Of recommendation
from number of English bishops, and
today these were proved to be forgeries.
Rogers induced several boys TO make
the charges against DR.. Hirst, and one
of them, boy named Bidwell, is said to
have been implicated in the Cleveland
street scandal in London few years
ago. Today Rogers was denounced
before the committee by his counsel,
who gave up his case. DR.. Hirst will
probably prosecute Rogers in the
criminal courts for blackmail.

THE STATE CONVENTION.

A Probability That 1t Will Last All
tho Week.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. %. -Brevity was
the soul OF the session Of the Democratic
convention today, and from the way
matters are proceeding it looks ss though
the scheme to keep the delegates hero
all this week will be accom- plished. The
days session was devoid OF any particu-
lar interest.
The report OF the committee on ore.
dentials was received, or rather the
majority report. Ramish of Los An
gelss, oil by his little lone self, and as
solitary minority, cav fit to file minor
ity report on the only contest before the
committee. The convention did not
think that the opinion OF Statesman
Ramish was of more weight than that
OF the 20 other statesmen OF this COM
mttee. so his report WAS not adopted.
There was quite o wrangle over the
proposition to hold the sessions OF the
committee elsewh here than lii the Bald
win theater, but after lot of talk in
which Burke, termed the great political
lsader of Los Angelica, took the princi-
pal part, it was determined that the
convention would continue to share Mr..
Baldwin's thcater with Mr.. Frohnsn's
Gudgeons, the play holding forth at
night and the convention giving inter
mittent, rather than continuous. day
performances. The arrangements for
ths convention are not nearly go bad as
reported. The kicking came from the
delegates in the back seatH, who hoped
in the change TO get up in front under
the speakers eye.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 22.-The con.
gressional fight ia over. 1t 10 Patton.
San Luis Obispo county did it. When
the vote Of this county was called for, it
asked 80 be passed. The roll was con-
tinued, and at the end it stood: Mess
more, SO; Patton, So, and then 1t was
that San Luis Obispo voted for Patton,
which gave him only one more than Was
needed, and this is the way the exciting
and bitter contest in the Sixth congres.
sional district was decided, which is ex-
actly 90 forecast by your correspondent.
The Los Angeles delegation stood ~
for Mesemore and IS for Patton, with
Last and Patton paired. Two OF the
opposition fell down in the last two
days, and this also helped to bring
about the result. The ballot was taken
by the roll call OF each delegate. 80
every man was placed.
The incident OF tho convention was
the speech of Messmore after the decis-
ion. 1t was the best speech that has
bsen made here at this convention. It
surprised even Msssmore's own sup
porters, and 1t was conceded on all hands
that If he had made this spesch before
the balloting. nothing could have pre-
vented his nomination.. This was not
done on account Of the latsness of the
hour, after the long and tirssome nomi-
mating speeches, and it can truthfully be
said that this little irregularity took the
nomination from Msssmore to Patton.
The proceedings of the convention
were devoid OF the bitterness that was
anticipated, and in Pstton's speech of
acceptance he regretted the acrimony
that had arisen, and declared that the
animosities created were ended 80 far a.
he was concerned. His speech in this
respect was in the best of taste. One
lesson Of the contest, however, will be to
teach certain leaders and would-be
Democratic leaders in Los Angeles
county to respect the opposition OF
some of the elements in the party which
have been heretofore almost entirely
disregarded and hardly thought worthy
OF confederation.

Abnormal Receipts of Internal Revenue.

Abnormal Receipts of Internal Revenue.
Gold Flowing In.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 22.-Recsipts from
internal revenue sources continue to be
sbnormally large, with every prospect
of continuing so until the new tariff bill
goes into effect. During the lest seven
working days from August 18th the re-
ceipts have reached the unprecedented
sum OF $11 900. 122, and it is confidently
expected that by next Saturday night at
midnight, when the new act will become
operative, the aggregate receipts for the
preceding 10 days will have reached
$4,000, 900. These large receipts under
the circumstances are deprecated BY the
treasury officials, who llken the situs-
ton to that of the poor man paying 10 per
cent per month on money ON which to
live. The reason for this is that the aid
coming to the treasury this way is only
temporary at the best, and will add to
the deficit later on, for on every gallon
of whisky now being Withdrawn the
government sooner or laier ia bound to
lose 70 cents.
As soon as the tariff bill goes into op-
GRAFTON the receipts from this source are
expected to drop down to a merely NOM
ldhi tAOuAts hhQ bO COutluuS lOf
months, until the new wsupply now being
laid in is exhausted. These abnormal
receipts have swollen the each balance
of the treasury to to nearly $121 ,00O. coo.
At the same time the gold reserve is
slowly increasing until it has nov
reached about $54, 000,0 This increase
is due almost entirely to the weatern dc.
mand for small notes with which to har-
vest the crops. Under the terms Of the
special circular issued by the United
States treasury in June last small notes
are exchanged only for gold, and
very substantial sums are now
being received daily from this
source. The demand for small notes
has not yet set in from the south, but
the movement OF cotton now beginning
is now expected to bring in considerable
sums OF gold, go that for the present, at
least, the entertainments which have
threatened the treasury have passed by.
