AN EDITORS DEATH.
Passing of L. T. House, Well-Known
Printer and Newspaper Man of
This Coast.


Printer and Newspaper Man of
This Coast.
/. T. House, one of the oldest and best
known newspaper men on the Pacific
Coast, died early yesterday morning at
his residence, 31S Fulton street, of general
debility.
Mr.. House came to this City from
Kansas with /. S. Kalloch, who afterward
became Mayor of San Francisco, and
started a paper called the Greenbacker.
The publication suspended after a more or
less prosperous career, and House went to
work for the Bulletin, where he remained
for several years. Later he started paper
at Redondo Beach, and at different times
during the past few years conducted
papers in various portions of the State be-
sides being employed in the State Print.
ing Office.
For the past three years he has edited
the Hayes Valley Advertiser, of which
Under Sheriff William Clack is the pro-
prietor.

dren, a son and daughter.
He was mem ber of Fidelity Lodge No.
1856 of the Ancient Order of United Work
men, and of the Typographical! Union.
The latter organization will take charge
of the funeral, and the remains will be
buried in the printers plat in Laurel Hill
Cemetery to- morrow. House was 70 years
of age and his collapse came suddenly,
as few weeks ago he seemed to be in
good health and spirits.

THE JINGOES.

In the debate on the Morgan resolution,
recognizing the belligerency of the Gu ban
patriots, Senator Wellington, who opposed
the resolution, was so severe in his attack
upon what he called the jingoes of the
country that Senator Pettus OF Ala ALBANIA
was constrained to ask him, "Who are the
iingoes and what are the jingoes?" To
this question Senator Wellington replied ::
"Jingoism is the spirit that would drag
our country into war with Spain: it is the
spirit that would draw US into controversy
with every country in Europe and make
more enemies than friends"
Since the word jingo is slang and has
no well-defned meaning the right of Sem
ator Wellington to give it such definition
as he chooses cannot be disputed. When,
however, he defines it as one who desires
to involve this country in war with Spain
or with any other nation he is not justi-
fed in applying the term to those who
believe il to be the duty of this country to
recognize the belIigerent rights Of the
Cuban patriots, nor even to those who GO
further and desire the Government to rec
ognize the independence of the Cuban re-
public. Neither of these actions on our
part would do such wrong TO Spain as to
justify her in declaring war against US,
nor are those who advocate them in any
way desirous of beginning such war.
1t is clear that Senator Wellington gave
his definition of jingo from his preiudices
rather than from his reason. He is op-
posed to men who desire to see the inde-
pendence of Cuba, and as is natural with
those who are not accustomed to intel
lectual contests, and who do not under
stand how men may honestly differ in
opinion, he leaps to the conclusion that
his opponents are rash, desperate and
wicked He assumes that as they desire
evil ends they are willing to resort to evil
methods of attaining them.
There are two classes o: people in this as
in every other progressive country. One
of these classes believes that whatever is
is right, and, therefore. insists upon

THE TARIFF.

While the Cuban question occupies the
chief part of the public debates in Con-
gress, Information from Washington as
sures US that the Senators are less con-
cerned about Cuba than they are about
the schedules and rates OF the new tariff.
Reports of dickering and log-rolling OF all
kinds are heard everywhere, and some OF
these so seriously concern Californian in
terests a. to merit earnest consideration
here.
According to one report, several West
ern Senators have been informed by
friends OF the sugar schedule in the Sem
ate bill that Western interests will be
attacked unless they vote for that sched-
ule. 1t is said by one authority that Cali,
fornians have been offered a restoration of
the Hawaiian reciprocity clause of the
Dlngley bill in exchange for their support
of the sugar duties fixed by the Finance
Com mittee. Another authority says the
California Senators have been informed
that strong opposition will be mad Q to the
duties on citrus fruits and Zante currants,
the inference being that if Californians
desire TO malnta n those duties they must
be ready to accept either the sugar sched-
ule or some other point on which Eastern
sentiment is united.
The interests of California are so divided
between the Dingley bill and the Senate
bill that it Is hard to determine which
will be most likely to promote our welfare.
Under the Dingley bill we get better pro-
lection for prunes, raisins and other dried
fruits and wines than we do under the
Senate bill. On the other hand, the Sen
of rvi hate "a
fruits, wool. hides and lead. If we had
to choose between one bill or the other,
the choice would be difficult. Fortunately
that alternative is not imposed on us.
There is q possibility we may gain the
best features of both bills, and to attain
that every energy should now be directed.
The claims of the West in this discus
sion are so well founded it is difficult to
see how they can be objected to by any
one who stands firmly upon the protec-
tive system as general principle. Pro-
lection can never be made perfect until it
| is made so National as to benefit every
| section of the country equally and so uni
| versal as to benefit all classes of ind ustry.
The Eastern claim for free hides and free
low-grade wools with low duties on fruits
and wines, is certainly not IN harmony
with the general principle OF protection to
| American industry. The West asks for n o
| sacrifice of any Eastern interest and is,
| therefore, in good position to ask thor
| ough protection to all of its own.
| The danger in the situation lies in the
| fact that the Senate is not under the con-
| troll of thorough protectionist majority.
| No bill can pass in that body which is not
70
AS natural result there will be great
deal of dickering and log-rolling in max
| ing up the new tariff. This constitutes a
menace to California, and to the West
| generally, and we must be on our guard
| to protect our interests, for otherwise they
! will be sacrificed in the contest.

CHAPMAN IN JAIL.

Broker Chapman, who declined to an
swer the questions Of the Senate investi-
eating committee on the alleged deal OF
United States Senators in sugar stocks 1t
the time when the present tariff was
under consideration in the Senate, is now
in prison in Washington City, under e
sentence OF thirty days confine ment.
1t Is announced that two OF the best
cells in the jail have been assigned to him,
he has furnished them nicely at his own
expense, and is served with food from the
Arlington Hotel. He suffers no more
than he would from a detention at home
for few days by slight accident, and
not even so much since he has nothin 6
in the way of physical pain to annoy him.
There is nothing in this situation TO en-
courage the hope that we shall get at the
truth concerning the scandal. An I'M
prisonment of the kind imposed upon
Chapman will not have the slightest ten
dency to make him answer the questions
propounded to him. He is undoubtedly
astute enough to see that what is techni-
cally called punishment is really benefit
to him, since it will extensively advertise
his business and give assurance 10 his
clients that he Will keep their secrets.
He will spend thirty days at reading
amusing books, smoking good cigars,
talking to pleasant friends, and then he
will 20 back to New York to accept ban
ouet from his admirers and resume busi-
ness which will be far more profitable than
| before.
1t is, in fact, farce which is being
played out before the country under the
title of ''an enforcement OF the dignity OF
the Senate" Resort must be had to much
| more drastic measures than those which
have been enforced in the Chapman case
| before such great offenders as United
| States Senators and managers OF the sugar
| trust can be brought to the bar OF justice
| with any chance of convicting them II
| they are guilty.
The futility of the proceeding was made
evident by Senator Tillman when he
called the attention of the Senate TO the
| fact that two correspondents at Washing
| ton, over their signatures, have made ex-
actly the same charges against Senators
in the revision of the new tariff as were
| made in the construction of the Wilson
| bill three years ago.
Senator Tillman well said that If the
Senate really means to enforce its dignity
and free itself from the aspersions upon
the honor oil its members it should deal
with the issue of to-day as well as with
| that of the past. Either act" said the
Senator, "or hush" The country in
dorses this advice, and makes the indorse.
| ment with the clear understanding that If
| it has to choose from this alternative the
Senate will hush.

Tho Odd Fellows' Honored Dead

The committee on honored dead, at the
recent session OF the Grand Lodge, presented
a re port from which the following extract Is
made:
Seyenty-nine members of this grand body
have died since we last assem bled. This num-
Der is in excess of that reported during any
former wear of which your committee has
found record.
The number OF deaths for the preceding
wear was IN uch larger than the number regis
tered during any year prior to 1S95-9o, which
contributes TO emphasize the admonft1on to
be drawn from the unequaled mortality for
1S96-97.
Our inquiries diligently and carefully ade
to the extent of our opportunities enable us
