MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 8. 1896.

THE NORTHERN republicans in Con-
gress apparently agree with Mr.. John
Wise, that Southern republicans are
''apostates for the price of their apos'
tacv." The President and the demo-
cratic Congressman made no objection
to the payment of the war claims OF
those "loyal" Southern citizens in
cluded in what is known as the "Bow
man act" and which had been award
ell by the Court of Claims, but the
republican members of the o. S. House
of Representative from the North had
no faith in those claims, called them
';steals,n and when, after long years,
they were just about to be paid, struck
them out of the deficiency approprla-
ton bill, and thus again threw the
claimants in the slough of despond.
.sDisloyal" Southern people don't care
whether the claims referred to are paid
or not, but that they are due loyal"
men. is proved by the decision of the
L. S. Court of Claims. Southern re-
publicans, however, persist in denounc-
ing their own neighbors, whom they
have deserted and tried to iDjure, and,
lerefore, hate, and liz continuing to
support their Northern allies, who, and
only naturally, despise them and
show their contempt from them on
every occasion. But fools always did,
and always will, suffer for their folly.

Mr.. Kem.-''I wish then that I had

The Speaker amused at the idea).-
"Well, there are some things that are
providential."
Mr.. Sherman.-"I ask unanimous
consent that such power be given the
gentleman" Iaughter.)
Mr.. Payne.-"I must object to that"
A quorum having appeared the reso-

agreed to.
Mr.. Cannon moved TO suspend the
rules and pass deficiency bill appro-
priating S25, 900 for pay and mileage of
members of the House of Representa-

select committees; 5000 to put the Capt.

storm and S20, 900 for Behring sea patrol.
The rule was passed.
Mr.. Aldrich moved the passage of
the Senate bill appropriating SIS ,S45 to

commission due on account of the ex-
plosion of q caisson on Grand Boule-
ward, Chicago, while Battery F, I'd
Artillery, was on practice march
through the streets of that city, July
16, 1894. 1t was actively opposed by
Messrs. Richardson MCMILLAN, Walk

that there was no legal liability on the
part of the government, no negligence
being alleged against it. 1t was advo.

The motion was defeated-S6 to LOG.
Mr.. Daniels called up the contested
election cases of Aldrich (rep.) vs. I'm

Mr.. Tawney made the point that this
being the legislative day of Saturday,
devoted by special order to considera-
ton of measures under suspension of
the rules, the election case could not
supercede that order of business.

BOARD OF TRADE.
Regular Monthly Meeting Of the Board
of Directors.

The regular monthly meeting Of the
board of trade directors was held this
afternoon, the president, Mr. A. Jacoby,
in the chair. The Troy Laundry COM
pany and Mr.. George H. Stoll were elec-
ted to membership.
The action OF the president and secre-
tary in signing the joint petition Of the
chamber of commerce, board OF trade
and Merchants and Manufacturers as
sociation, addressed to the secretary of
foreign relations, republic of Mexico, for
the establishment oH q Mexican consult
ate in this city, was approved.
The following resolution was unani-
nously adopted:
Resolved That we heartily endorse
the movement of the Merchants and
Manufacturers association for home
products exhibition to be held In Los AM
geles during January, 1897, and hereby
tender the support and assistance OF the
Los Angeles board Of trade for that un-
dertaking.
The committee appointed by the pres
ident to represent the board of trade in
| this matter consists of Messrs. j. o.
Koepfii,, Gilbert F. Gay and Max Gold
schmidt, and their appointment was
confirmed by the board.

money that was seeking Investment

ed by the laws of supply and demand.
When money is plenty the rate Of inter

high. 1t is to the interest OF borrowers
that money should be plenty. Thers-
fore every borrower of money should
vote for this amendment. 1t is idle 10
longer hope for aid from usury laws.
They have proved to be a delusion and
a snare whenever tried. Whenever the
law has attempted to fix the ratesOf
interest at less than money is worth
the borrower has been compelled to sub
nit to a discount or side payment of
some kind to make UP the differences.
The use of money, like the use of II
house, should always be the subject Of
private contract. The duty of the law
maker, and the place where he can make
himself moSt useful to the borrower Of
money Is by making money plenty. Let
us restore silver to the place intended
for 1t by the national constitution. Let
this be followed in due time by substi-
tuting q sound and infleXible ma
tional paper money in place OF
the notes whose volume Is now
controlled by the banks. Let
the government still further use its
influence in bringing down the rates oe
interest by lending its note to the sew
eral states, counties and cities, upon the
security of their municipal bonds. bear
ing a rate of interest or tax now paid by
the national banks to get their circula-
tion. This would enormously increase
the amount of money available for pri-
vate loans and keep down the rate of in
terest to the minimum. The mortgage
tax is a fraud, delusion and snare,
and ought to be abolished.

BETTER GOVERNMENT.
League Nominations Will Close This
Afternoon-Then the Postal Ballot.

All candidates intending to have their
names presented for consideration to
the Good Government league will be
compelled to have their petitions in by
o'clock this afternoon. a..
Of course 1t is understood that these
candidates are only those who desire to
enter the municipal contest which is to
be decided December 7th.
Quite number of petitions have been
already presented. Today the friends
OF M. p. Snyder will file his petition. 1t
Will bear the signatures Of some of the
best known citizens of Los Angeles Mr.
Snyder's petition was in circulation
yesterday afternoon for few hours
only and the signers included sixteen of
the leading merchants Of the city.
1t was stated yesterday that petit
tion would also be presented to the
league, asking that the name of Thomas
e. Rowan be placed upon the primary
postal ballot Of the organization as a
candidate for mayor.
The petition of Julius H. Martin the
Republican nominee, has already been
presented. In addition 1t Is understood
that a petition will be handed in re-
questing that the name of George H.
Stewart be placed on the ballot.
There will. so it is stated, be six cam
didates before the league for mayor
Four have been named above. The other
two have not yet disclosed their names.
There has been petition presented in
behalf of James c. Kays for city assess
or. Mr.. Kays. Mr.. Meredith Mr.. Sea-
man and George Hull will all probably
be on the ballot for assessor.
The name of Boyle Workman and w.
II. Hartwell will be handed in for city
treasurer.
For city engineer Henry Dockweiler
and Charles Compton will probably be
the only two balloted for.
w. e. Dunn and Jud r. Rush will go
before the league, In all probability, for
city attorney.
The city convention of the league will
be held on the goth instant. All candi-
dates who have not received majority
by the postal ballot and whose oppo-
nents have likewise failed Of majority
will be compelled to submit their pros
poets to the mercy of the delegates to
the convention.
Any candidate who has received q
majority of the votes cast for any par
ticular office WILL by the convention, be
named as the league candidate. In a
case of this kind the duty Of the con-
vention would be purely ministerial.
In the event none of the candidates for
any particular office get majority for
that office then the delegates have the
matter in their own hands and can name
whom they see fit.
The outcome Of the result in the Good
Government league Is awaited with con-
siderable interest by all and more par
ticularly by the candidates.

DISCUSSED THE ISSUES.
Democrat and Republican Talk to Los
Angeles Business College Pupils.

Yesterday afternoon the Los Angeles
Business college threw some spice into
the ordinary school room routine by
giving its students and others the bene-
fit of discussion Of the political ISSUES
by two Of the most able representatives
Of the two great parties. Judge H. &.
Gooding, ex-chief justice Of Arizona, ex-
pounded the Republican faith, and Hon.
c. C. Wright of Los Angeles explained
the Democratic doctrine as he under
stood it. Both speakers were fair, able
and earnest, and presented their re-
spective sides in clear and compre-
hensive manner. The students express.
ed much satisfaction at hearing such
able speakers, and especially at not hav-
ing to be subject to the annoyance and
turbulence Of the ordinary political
meeting. The managers Of the college
had stipulated that the discussion
should be purely educational, and thus
the excitement and hurrah of the aver
ege political gathering were entirely ab-
sent.
The spacious rooms Of the college
were well filled, and the speakers were
accorded the very best Of attention.

BISHOP IRELAND's LETTER.
A Silver Man Makes Careful Analysis
Of the Document.

Editor Herald: Fifty times, or less,
since Monday morning have been ask
ed to read, or had I read, Archbishop
Ireland on the political issues. We have
read him. We have read his production
a second time today, and we are now
of the opinion that this learned man has
for the time being overlooked the great
fundamental principle that all men are
born equal and in this American repub-
lie are even vet blessed with privileges
conceded in this great admission. He
would impeach neither the faith nor
the "honor" Of those at variance with
his political belief, and claims only the
justice he would render those whom he
would combat. This we concede, how
ever, from the tenor Of the argument he
submits. We are certainly not justified
in conceding more.
1t has been the writer's. privilege to
hear this great divine expound the gos-
pei truths as he understands them, at
different times The second time, in
fact. each succeeding time that we list
ened to him was because the previous
discourses had convinced us that 1t
would be a means Of profit to do So.
But should we be tempted to read a
second article such as published, as
from his pen, in the columns of Monday
mornings Herald 1t would not be with
similar assurances.
We meet on common grounds, less the
advantages Of his superior learning,
with reference to the Importance of the
free coinage question, as in the presence
of other questions that are brought in
to the issue. The baseless accusation
that the movement of those politically
opposed to him, and the party he cham
pions.. rs in logical effect against the
nation" and that it has for its object
secession. Is, II he Is correctly reported,
unworthy of the author. He thus i'm
mediately retracts the position he so
munifcently assumes at the outset
with references to rendering Justice He
then proceeds to attack portions Of the
Chicago platform as being direct pro-
q duct of such sentiment, and resorts to
eepsationalism by way of associating It
with the scenes of Appomattox in the
minds of his readers. Not in the history
Of this campaign has there fallen from
the lips of any man on the opposite side
Of equal notoriety-save BenjaminTill-
man-any such slander. Senator Till
man Is noted chiefly for what he is, and
the expression of such sentiment can
but too soon bring similar renown to the
great archbishop. He Is equally libelous
when he declares that the Chicago plat
form threatens our country with social
disorder, lawlessness and, anarchy. To
the careful reader. who thinks as he
reads, such expression can have but lit
tie more weight than IL voiced by the
n1ereBt hireling. In fact, too strongly
does the entire article impress one with
such = feeling. tor not Q single new ar
Sument has hs4edvanced, not even . re,

aminer.
Mr.. Hertzog did not believe the extra
expense which would be incurred by
having Mr.. Henderson come to Lara

warranted. AS chairman of the finance
committee he had been most careful in
his examination of the accounts Of the
treasurer and had found them correct
in every particular. He had also in

that Mr.. Golden had on deposit the ex-
act sum indicated by his books.
Mr.. Pennington expressed himself as
having every confidence in the finance
committee n h mayor also added
his endorsement.
Mr.. Golden said that the reason he
had for making the request was that
OFT had made a statement in the Times
some weeks ago hat the accounts of
the city officials should be carefully
investigated, and therefore he wished
to give the people the fullest oppor.
tunity to make a thorough investiga,
ton.
