Louls has been surfeited with too much talk atthe democratic hub- bub. This may explain why the tele- phones are being removed from that oity. SE——— Iris claimed that ninety thousand dollars were spent by citizens of St. Louis in entertaining visitors, and it is & pretty poor ticket to show up for so much money. JEFFERSON DAVIS’ book on the war will be issued in the autumn. It is confidently asserted that democrats north of Mason and Dixon’s line will not use it as a campaign document, —— ALL the democratic nominations can not make the old Roman who lives in Ohio as happy as he was on the day when in company with Cincinnatus he planted cabbages in ancient Rome. y— FouRr lines more of the tariff bill have been passed by the committee of the whole. This makes nine lines in all. In view of Mr. Watterson’s brilliant manifesto, this is, on the whole, doing quite well, ——— ADVICES from Washington have it that both Secretary Whitney and At- torney Generai Garland make no secret of the fact that upon March 4, 1889, they propose to retire to private life. The Amecrican people are also making no se- eret of it. . p————— THE man who was too old in 1885 for a seat in Mr. Cleveland’s cabinet now feels ‘‘ten years younger.” There is nothing like a presidential nomimation as a health-giving tonic.

The difference is only cighty miles, and 1888 is sup- posed to be an 4 off gear for railroad extension, rr—— TaE exportation of gold to Europe Bas ceased, while the reserves in New York banks have increased move than ® million and a half dollars in the past week. This brings the surplus, over sud above the reserve required by law, 10 $27,500,000, which is neur the highest oint attained this year. It is such facts 08 these which contradict the false statements of alarmists, that the ex- portation of gold is a sure sign of an ap- proaching money stringency in the country, —_—— THERE doos not at all seem to be n lumb-like disposition of the Iowa rail- roads to conform to the new distance tarifts recently preparved by the Towa commissioners. In fact, they are arch- ing their backs and showing their toeth in a way disappoiuting to the gen- eral expectations that they would quiotly obey the law. Ata meeting of the general freight agents at Chicago, there was strong talk of fighting back. The conference resulted in the framing of a vigorous protest against the enforce- . ment of these mew rates, which are claimed to be 85 to 40 per cont below the ratos now in effect in lowa. But it is apparent that the state commissionors will not be influenced by any remon- strance,no matter how vigorously drawn up. Their work was most carefully pre- paved. Tho freight rates were such as railroads themselves at timoes adonted. Phe purpose of the state commissioners s to wake such rates as shall be equita- ble to the people and the railroads. The railvoads have opposed any move- nient of this kind, and it was high time for the peonle to actin their own de- lense. The Railroad Candidate. Regarding the alleged popularity of Chauncey M. Depew in New York, there 18 no evidence of it beyond the claims of the men who are booming him. The New York Erening Post is authority for the statement that when Depew ran for lieutenant governor in 1872 on the democratic ticket his vote was nearly four thousand behind that of his associates on the ticket, and yet ho was then thought to be quite as “‘mag- netic” as he is now claimed to be. 1t is further disclosed respecting Mr. Depew at that time that he was one of the most vigorous in denouncing the republican party and condemning Grant, while Mr. Blaine he characterized as a démagogue. In a speech made in the campaign of 1872, Depew said: “Greeley beside Grant was a giant compared with a pigmy, and the question was Greoley and constitutional government, with honesty and purity, or Grant with ab- senteeism, dishonesty and party legis- lation, with land-grabbers and stock speculators at the helm.” He promptly rehabilitated himself in the republican party after the re-election of Grant, and ever since Mr. Depew has been a self-secker in politics, keeping at com- mand a coterie of admirers who could be depended upon to boom him for any- thing. His name is not heard now for the first time as a possible presiden- tial candidate, but his friends have never before been able to work up so formidable a support for him as he ap- pears to have at present, obviously for the reason that in his present position of a railroad president he has an aid to his boom in the friendly concern of the corporations which hitherto he did not possess. Every hireling and servitor of the railroads who will sit in the Chi- cago convention, or who can exert any influence there, may confidently be ex- pected to do his level best in the in- terest of Depew. These are the men who have been and are now active in urging him as the most available man for the vepublican party to nomi- nate a8 its presidential candi- date, and they will be pres- ent in force at Chicago, on the Inside and on the outside of the convention, prepared and determined to secure his nomination if it be possible to do so. Their success would mean the certain defeat of the republican party in No- vember, with the probability that it could not survive the blow as a political owganization . Thurman’s Capital. The chief and the most valuable capi- tal which Judge Thurman will con- tribute to the democratic campaign is the fact that while in congress he was one of the most prominent advocates of legislation to compel the subsidized railroad corporations to keep faith with the government. The Thurman act, requiring the Pacific railroads to tablish a sinking fund for meeting their obligations to the government. although it has failed to accomplish all that was expected, was an important measure which will perpetuate the name of its author as long as those roads shall last. The democrats can be depended upon 1o make the best possible use of this por- tion of the record of their candidate for vice president. It is about the only portion that they can use with any hope of advauntage, and it may serve to cover amultitude of political sins which Mr. Thurman has been guilty of. When that statesman’s entire re- cord is laid bare a great many people, including -the younger race of demo- crats, will be surprised to learn how vulnerable it is. Thurman was one of the most prominefit and active men in the democratic party during the retel- lion period, and he was in full sympathy with the deciaration of the party in 1864 that the war was a failure and that it was the duty of the government to seck a peaceful settlement with the confederacy. In the first yeur of the war he said to a democraiic convention of his state that some of the southern states had cause for vevolution. He ex- tolled the southerners as a hrave peo- ple, and declared that the states of- the south could not be held by force. All of his public address2s during that eventful period were in harmony with the prevalent democratic fecling in the north, and of a character to give and comfort to the enemy. Mr. Thur- man was originally a hard money man and believed the government had no constitutional right to issue greenbacks, vet he became one of the most ardent of groenback advocates when the party, and particulmly the Ohio branch of it, took that drift, and held to thi position as long as it seemed politic to do s Other facts iu the record of M wrman will be brought to light which will show that with all the boasted political virtue and statesmanship of the democratic eandidate for the vice presidency, he was less a friend of the union than of its enemies when it was assailed by rebel- lion, and that since that period he has been involved in most of the vagaries into which his party drifted in its long struggle to reguin power. But it may be that the people will greater regard to the creditable fo tures of Mr, Thurman’s record than to those which doubtiess he would himself be glad to have forgotten, and this sug gests the necessity of the republicans pr senting candidates who shall be wholly free from suspicion of sympathy with any form of corporate wonopoly, The republican ticket must be so cleun and unassailable in this vespeet that the principal capital which Mr. Thurman will bring to the democratie ticket shall not be available to attract to the sup- port of that ticket a single anti-monop- oly republican. It must present oan- s about whose regard for the in- terests of the people, as opposed to the I interests of the corporations und the monopolistic combinations, there can be no doubt or question. Such can- didates ean be electod, and the highest welfare of the party demands that they bo ¢hosen. Granting that the taviff is to occupy the foremost place as an issue in the eampaign, it will not be the only gquestion that the people will be ealled upon to consid and there ave portions of the countr where it may easily take an inferior place in the popular rogard if the rail- road corporations and their allies should succeed iu domiunuting the na- BEE: TUESDAY, tional republican convention and fore- ing upon the party candidates identi- fied with and representing their inter- ests and aims. The expression of east- ern republicans in behalf of a railroad president has already arounsed a feeling among many republicans in the west which permits no doubt as to where they would be found in the event of the nomination of this eastern candidate, and should the convention commit so grave a blunder thousands of such republicans may be expacted to give their support to the ticket which in part represents anti-monopoly sentiment. It will be wise, publicans nov to lose principal, if not the which Mr. Thurman brings to the democracy. It has its value, the im- portance and extent of which will de- pend very largely upon what shall be done at Chicago. e———— THE new city ordinance creating a board for the inspection of builaings in the city of Omaha, and providing for the construction of all kinds of houses, does not differ essentially from the ordinance, No. 1027, just repealed. The rules and regulations governing the construction or alteration of buildings are in themselves valuable. But the question is, will the building ordinance be enforced to the letter by the board of inspection? The city has now on its pay roll a high salaried super- intendent of buildings, clerks and inspectors. But noone ever saw any one of these functionaries with the architect’s plans in hand inspect a building from cellar ta garret as pre- scribed by the ordinance. There are any number of buildings in this city of faulty construction, which have been erected without even a protest. There are fire-traps now going up in direct vio- lation of the ordinance. All of which proves that the board of inspection is not attending to its duties, With re- gard to fees for the issue of building permits, the reduction made by the new ordinance is a step in the right direc- tion, but the old principle, which has operated as an embargo to the con- struction of buildings involving an ex- penditure of several hundred thousand dollars, is adhered to. There would, perhaps, be no objection to the fee of fifty cents for each ono thousand dollar: in excess of five thousand up to say one hundred thousand dollars, but beyond this the fee of fifty cents on each thousand dollars of estimated cost is exceedingly large, and it is unwise and impolitic to exact it. S———— TEXAS is developing a system of ten- ant farming that is likely to cause that state no end of trouble. In certain ag- ricultural districts the landlord system has taken a firm hold and already the evils which afilict Ireland have come to the surface'in Texas. About a third of the farmers of the cotton belt are renters and pay annually on cotton lands seven dollars an acre. Just after the war the owners of large plantations farmed them out to tenants, taking as rent a share of the crops raised. Gradually the system of tenant-farming became gen- eral and a cash rental was fixed. The result has been that, the original land owners have sub-let their property to tenants, and the rule is for these landlords to live in the cities. Ther is, in consequence, a feeling of discon- tent on tho part of the lurge class of tenant farmers, who, at their own ex- pense and labor, enrich the owne Another cause for complaint e the fact that these land owners invest their money in outside speculation in- stead of using it in improving their farm lands. It will be seen that the germs of Irish landlordism have taken root in Texus, and it is manifest that therefore, for re- sight of the only, ecapital the systom of tenant farminggs detri- mental to the best interests of the state.

The danger of an impure ice supply has been the subject of a very thorough investigation by the Massachusetts board of health, which attributes many cases of typhoid fever occurring in cities in autumn to bad water and the results of bad drainage, or none at all, in the summer resorts. The board, therefore, urges upon people who are considering the question where to spend the summer, the importance of selecting places which have proper drainage and pure water supply. In places where ponds are made for the purpose of collecting water for a snp- ply of ice, itis almost certain to be contaminated with sewerage, as freezing does not, kil but, only conceals bacteria. A most mysteri- ous case of wholesale poison- ing at a summer hotel was finally triced to the impure ice which had been sccured from mneighboring shallow ponds.

JUNRE 12, 1888 OUR SAN FRANCISCO BUDGET, A Wisconsin Thumper ‘With McAuliffe. SPOOKS FROM THE SPIRIT LAND. to Fight A Japanese Delegation Arrives—The School Census—Crops—The Natal Day—Hotels in Tronble—ElL Perkins at Large, The Ring. SAN FRANC1SCO, June 8.--[Corre- epondence of THE BEE.]--In the sport- ing world there is little going on. The sensation among the gloved-knockers is the written desire of Mike Conley of ‘Wisconsin, who yearns to fight Mc- Auliffe, Conley is considered » ery good man in the town where he resides, and men of money have been desirous of backing him in a fight with Pat Kil- len, who does not appear overanxious to feel the weight of the Itasco giant’s mauleys on his anatomy. Killen has been industriously engaged of late “‘faking” up objections to any proposi- tion that Conley and his friends had to make, and the people of the northwest are quietly dropping to Mr. Killen, or “Hard-fisted Pat,” as he is familiarly dubbed. Conley sees that the prospects for a fight with Killen are not particu- larly inviting, and he throws his de ances at Joe MeAuliffe, who is very liable to take them up, provided he does not hear from Joe Lannon, the South Boston pugilist, in a short time. McAuliffe is anxious to meet Lannon first, because his abilities are well known to the sporting fraternity, while Conley’s are practically an unknown quantity. But as the Ashland man challenges McAuliffe to fight according to London prize ring rules, the Pacific coast champion notes a weakness in his would-boe opponent,else he would fight Marquis of Queensbury rules. A match is liable to be fixed up botween them yet. Lannon has not JDeen heard from directly, although he informed me that he would fight Mc- Auliffe in August for $2,500 a side in this city. It is the opinion of the sport- ing men in this city that Lannon is having some trouble in finding back- ing. There are a number of eastern pugilists who claim to be anxious to meet the coast champion that will find it uphill work getting backing after MecAuliffe has again demonstrated that he is hitter from away buck. **x The s{)irihmlists of the coast have been holding their fourth annual pow- wow and camp meeting at Oakland in the presence of a gathering of four or five thousund people. The camp ground, the same as last yoar, is pleasantly sit- uated upon the peninsula at_ the south- eastern” corner of Lake Merrit, from which a romantic view of the pleasant sheet of water as well as of the numer- ous clegant mansions dotting its west- ern shores and the rising heights to the north is obtained. The grounds are thickly studded with liveoaks, whose spreading evergreen foliage furnishes abundant shade. 3 Those who attended the meetings did not trust themselves entirely to the care of Nature and Providence in the matter of shelter, as was evidenced by the long rows of tents which crowd the grounds, in the midst of which rise the three tall masts supporting the roof of the great public pavilion, in which are seats for 2,000 people. The main cap- tains of the affair, at will would bring forth spirits from the pretty-soon and from jugs with wonderful skill. One of the speakers ngues the crowd in this fashion: *“‘Honest and noble curi osity, like honest and poble skept sism,” said the speaker, ‘‘goes before belief. The great key to all the knowl- edge of the world v the desire to dis- cover the truth, With this, admi could be gnined to the holy of holies in spiritual science as in all else.” The speaker closed by earnestly exhorting his hea to place spivituality first in their lives, intellect second and ap- vetite third. **And, in your affections,” he said, “‘remember to let the love of truth come first, the love of humanity second and the love of self last,” At the evening meeting of the first day Mrs. R. S. Lillie delivered an in- spivational address, prefaced by a touch- ing invocution to her spirit guides. Her lecture took the form of unswers to a number of questions propounded by the audience, including the following: man a fr mor i life like General S To the lecturer re- “*Without, he As the gallant general has lived un- til this morning, the Sth, those who claim that spool fraudulent croa- tures of the brain, are wondering to themselves and declaring that Murs.

The truth is that even yet the crop cannot be judged with absolute certainty, owing to the srcnt difference in time of maturity in ifferent parts of the state; but tho grolmhninen are that the crop will not e up to the average. In the fruit dis- tricts, on the contrary,the prospects are good for an excellent yield, except in apricots, which do not appear to be do- ing as well this year as usual. All other fruit are reported 1n excellent condi- tion, both in quantity and quality, and in some parts of the state the crop of fruit promises to be exceptionally large.” * " The glorious Fourth of July will be celebrated in a style becoming Amori- can citizens. The second meeting of the executive committee of the general Fourth of July committeo of 200 ap- pointed by the board of supebvisors to arrange for the Fourth of .;uly celobra- tion, has been held. The principal feature will be the unveiling of the statue of Francis Scott Key at Golden Gate park on the Fourth.

The railway companies have issued an order refusing to admit hotel runners on the ferry- ts plying between Oukland and The officials refuse to rescind order, and obscure hotels are short on customers. This strict order is the result of fantastic tricks indulged in by runners dressed in a little brief author- 1ty and a badge bearing the name of a dollar-a-day house. * Eli Perkins, the “olastic professional liar and good-natured humorist, has been here this woek. He was accom- panied by his wife and daughter.
