TARIFF DISCUSSION.
Judge Widnoy and Several Free Trader
Argus the Matter.

Argus the Matter.
A crowded house was the result OF the
announcement of tariff discussion at
Unity church last night.
Judge r. M. Widney was the chief
speaker. The distinguished champion
OF protection was enthusiastically re-
oeived. He spoks FOR three-qusrters of
an hour very earnestly and eloquently,
taking the ground that protection was q
necessity for the prosperity of the ma
ton. He gave some interesting remin-
iscences of his early experiences in
California. He thought there was no
excuse for people clamoring for access to
land when there were millions of acres
to be had in the Mojave desert.
Judge Widney was followed on the
anti-protection or free trade side by
Measrs. Clarence Miller, Abbot Kinney,
M. w. Conkling and Ralph e. Hoyt,
each of whom handled that side of the
question in manner that told favorably
on the large audience. Judge Widney
closed the interesting discussion for the
evening with nicely worded speech of
10 minutes. The chair announced that
next Monday night the judges last
speech would be replied to; also that
one OF the candidates for congress would
probably be the first speaker, and that
numerous written questions would be
answered, Judge WidDey himself being
specially invited to be present. After
the adjournment the Single Tax club
held a brief business meeting, heard
the report of the president, Ralph E.
Hoyt, and elected the following officers
for the ensuing six months:
President, Ralph Il. Hoyt; first vice
president, Clarence A. Miller; second
vice president, j. Bsford; recording
secretary, S. B. Welcome; correspond
ing secretary, 0. K. Gushing; librarian,

TIE CHINESE EMPRESS GOMEZ
NATION.

Because Senator White has consist
emily and for manv years before the sd-
vent into this community OF the pres
ont editor of the Express, opposed the
Republican policy of fsvoritism to Chi
nese immigration. he has been uni
formly antsgonizsd by Senators Hoar,
Lodge. Hawley, Aldrich and other we'll
known Republican leaders. Strange to
say, the Express, blinded by partisan
zeal, lends its efforts-fortunsteiy not
very powerlul-to the Chinese advocates.
For the reason that the treasury depart
ment was not satisfied with the conduct
OF our local custom house and there
fore removed the editor OF the Express,
whose anti-Chinese propensities had not
at that date been abnorma!ly developed,
that journal has been particularly abu-
sive towards the Democratic party and
especially so towards Senator White.
The Express made an absurd statement
to the effect that the new treaty al.
lows all Cinnamon to enter the United
States. This obvious prevarication the
HERALD nailed, and challenged its en-
ragged nsig Dor to point to single pro-
vision OF the late convention which al
lowed any new privilege to Cinnamon,
beyond the right to return, awarded to
resident registered Cinnamon possessing
certain qualifications. No answer was
made to this plain proposition. We not
only mentioned that the treaty was the
most beneficial to our country OF any
ever proposed, but we asked our con-
temporary to justify his mendacity in
asserting that any Chinaman who
wished to do so might enter the United
States.
In reply the Express -cornersd and
void of argument--c Gompers, Max
Pepper and itself as authority of con-
viucing Importance. Why does not our
evening luminary shelter itself behind
the outhern Pacific company as well? 1t

tacka Mr. Patton with energy and nom

Dan Burns, who controlled the Re-
publican convention and dictates

Express candidate for senator employ
Chinese? Why is there no response? Did
Brother OsborA vote in Minneapolis and
at the polls for Mr.. Harrison, who, in
the senate, whenever he did not dodge
vote, was uniformly against us on this
topic? Why does the Express favor Mr..
Estee. who said Chinese would make
better citizens than men OF the colored
race? Does our friend deny that Mr..
Estee said this? II so, will he publish
the legislative report OF that stall
wart Republican paper, the Sac
rsmento Union of March 5th,
1858? Our Republican opponents will
not deny this. They remember the
Markha letter and the Markham de.

supreme court thereon and we all know
how that i'll advised denial upon the

The test as to Sugar.

A large number of Democratic
papers are endeavoring to confine the
issue as to the treatment of sugar in
the Mckinley tariff, which made raw
sugar free, and the Wilson tariff, which
levies duty on sugar. They point
out that the Mckinley tariff left a
duty on re6ned-the lowest duty on
refined, We may add, in thirty years.
But duties, like all else, are to be
judged by their effects. When the Re-
publican tariff was passed sugar fell.
When the Democratic tariff was passed
sugar rose. The Republican tariff re,
duced the price of sugar for the con-
sumner nearly one-half. The Demo
cratic tariff will add to the price Oi
sugar fully one-half.
The Republican tariff on sugar re-
duoed the expense of living in the pur-
chase of sugar by the peple by full
$5A, 100000. The Democratic tariff
has increased this expense by $75, 5,O00,-
000.-Er.

Did They Get the PottageP

Professor Handy is credited with
saying in regard to the nomination of
Bancroft for Congress, "but if we do
sell our birthright we want to be dead
sure of getting the pottage." They
did sell the nomination which he styled
their birthright, aud we presume that
they got the pottage. There is moth
ing definite about this, however, as the
amount has not been stated, and the
witnesses to the trapsaction are mum.
Professor Handy should expose the
corrupt bargain and sale, and thus nut
an end to similar transactions. 1t is
a shame and u disgrace that men who
have borne the burden and heat OF
many battles should be thrust aside
and the party plums be given to com,
parative strangers who happen to have
money to pay for the same Republi'
can.

THE BIGGEST RAILROAD ON RECORD
SAID TO HAVE BEEN MADE.

SAID TO HAVE BEEN MADE.
The greatest combination of private
capital ever before Unlisted in one en-
terprise in the United States is sup
porting the Southern Railway Com
pany. From a thoroughly reliable
source the Times is informed that the
underwriters,a as they NAV be termed, of
the reorganization scheme of the Rich
mOnd & West Point Terminal and the
East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia
Railway Company are none other than
the Rothschilds, of London and Paris,
and the Vanderbilts, of New York
Cornelius and William K.
The reorganization, as is well
known, was undertaken and success
fully consumated by Drexel, Morgan
& Co., of New York and ]. S. Morgan
& Co., of London. These two great
banking houses interested their richest
clients, the Rothschilds and Wander
bilts. and as result the syndicate is
small in numbers but is colossal in
wealth, representing the greatest ag
gregatiOn of capital in the world-more
than half billion of dollars.
The reorganization plan provided
for $50, 100000 of new capital, and it is
this sum that the syndicate has agreed
to supply, and more, if necessary, the
money TO be used in heavier rails, new
bridges, new equipment, terminals, ex
| tensions, etc.
The Southern Railway Company has
now in complete ownership $500 miles
! of road, and by the reorganization has
| reduced the bonded Indebtedness from
$135, ,000,0 to 0,00O,000-just one
third-and the fixed charges from ST.,
100000 per annum to $4,000, ,000-a
saving of $8,OOO,OOO per annum. The
bonded Indebtedness of the road is now
less than $4,000 per mile. The first
annual meeting of stockholders is to be
held in Richmond, Va, Tuesday, Oct.
2, and bonds to the amount of $780,
100000 on the entire property will be
authorized.
PART OF THE VANDERBILT SYSTEM.
There is now very little doubt that
the Southern Railway project is
simply an extension of the Vanderbilt
system into and through the South.
The Chesapeake & Ohio will no doubt
become a part of the system within a
short time, and the Queen & Crescent
system will ultimately become part OF
the system, whatever may be the i'm.
mediate plans of the Cincinnati, Hamil-
ton & Dayton people. Through the
Cincinnati Southern, the Big Four oi
the Vanderbilt system will he reached
at Cincinnati.

Captain Doggie"T "Trenchard the Queen
Anne's boy who led the Princeton
Tigers to victory and the championship
last fall and who will endeavor to re-

his men for the coming football season
at Quoque, little village on Long
Island. The line men will soon be on
the scene, and then two teams will line
up against each other every day to
practice according to the new rules
adopted by the colleges.
Since the last college term closed
very little comment has been heard
relative to the new rules as complied
by the committee appointed at the in
stance of the University Athletic Club.
Captain Trenchard, however, comes
forward with a series of objections
which are apparently we'll based. He
declares, in the first place, that the
Rules Committee made fatal mistake
in not consulting undergraduate
players as to the feasibility of certain
changes. He states most emphatically
that Yale has benefited herself at the
expense of the other colleges, and that

ing of the rule governing mass plays.
has stultihed the committee. Trenchard
furthermore says that Princeton has
accepted the new rules most unwilling
ly, but has had no alternative in the
matter.
Princeton was not at all satisfied
with the new rules and at first de-
clined to adopt them, says Captain
Trenchard. But when Yale threatened
not to play football with us if we car
ried out our intentions, we quickly saw
that our only course was to yield

And blushing birds go down to drink
And shadows tremble SO2
"And nobody knows, so still il flows,
That any brook is there;
And yet your little draught of life
Is daily drunken there.
Then look out for the little brook in March,

When the meadows parching lie
Beware, lest this little brook of life
Some burning noon go dry"
