That'a a peculiarly compromis ing admiasion ol Bilurian tendency from an up-to-date "nj.ol.ter of public opin ion" in the hustling south countree. Wbat'a the matter w th a newspaper with new ideae ? Tjtat ia excellent advics which the Chicago Herald givea the Democratic majority in congress—no more running after false gods; no more weak auhmia eion to blind or treacherous leadera. The best politica will undoubtedly con bist in the ntraightforwnrd performance of duty. No campaign of cunning strat egy or of masterly inactivity can equal the strategy of doing what the people want. And what they want ia a buei ness session, with no unnecessary talk or political clan-trap. It is regarded aa something of a mys tery that ex-Senator Carpenter should so abruptly lapse into tbe solitude of hia singular originality. Ttiat be haa gone into caucus with himself to select senate committees ia not.generally be lieved by those who lenew Mr. Millard in Kansas or otherstates through which the lieutenant-governor puaaed on bia journey to Loa Angelea. Towae acquaint ances cay that if Mr. Milliard desired assistance in making up his committee-* lie w iiili! have consulted a tourist of longer residence than Mr. Cntraeuter. The estimates ot 1806 include the enormous etim of $141,.j(j1,570 for pen sions. At the close nt tbe present fiscal year there were 1)01*. ~>44 pene:ons on the pension roll, a net increase of 5532 dur ing tiie year, InISSO. lo yeara utter the of the war, th<» total number of pensioners was 250,505. and the ivmount paid for the voir waa $57.1>10,0 IU. Whereupon the San lose Herald naits if it is not reasonable tv suppose that a very large proportion of tho 700,000 which nave b-en added sence 13S0 have no valid claim upon the pnhlictreasury. Surely the men »ho were in charge of me go vara meat at that time cannot have heen unfriendly to tine soldiers, i nd would not hove rejected tbe olaim for a penaiuu from any of them wbo needed it. Tniiiiii Beeins to lie nodonbt that Eng land's colonial policy nnd her suspected friendly overtures to Russia hnve ex cited a considerable) amount of anspicion and ill will in Germany. Theee hav3 found copious expression everywhere in Hie press. Especially noteworthy is an article, emphatic without being passion ate, which nppears in the Cologne Ga» zstle. Alter enumerating auire of the clashing interests of Ruaaia aud Great Britain) it declares that a friendly settle ment of these difficulties would be esteemed by Germany in the interest oi peace. "But," it continues, "aa turely aa Germany will never cross England's patli when it leads to the maintenance of peace, so turely will tbe two powera come into rollioion if in the future, aa in the past, England is tbe power which we find e*er ready to throw hindrances in the way ol German colonial undertakings. From the very beginning of tbo German colonial policy Kngland has employed the most contemptible means to binder ihe progress of Germany— c, g., in the CUmeroons, in Toga, in Samoa, nnd at Peiagoa bay. Germany has put up with thia opposition for years with the great* est patience. But tier long suffering has reached its limit, and ths English gov ernment must be aware tbat Germany haa botli tbe power and tbe will to pre vent a continuance of thia antagonism. There ia not the least wiah to manifest hatred of or enmity toward England. It if simply • queation of safeguarding i German intereata, and the Finglisb gov ernment can eurely underatatid that it will obtain a better result by altering ita colonial policy tban by attempting to scare us by tbe myth of Germany's isolation." PASADENA'S PERIL. The Southern Pacific is not co lure ol getting a franchise to occupy Broadway avenue in Faeirlena as it waa laat week. It appears that it will require lour coun cilmen to pasa tbe ordinance delivering the beautiful little city into the hands of tho corporation. There are five coun cilmen in the city of Pasadena, and two of these are not prepared, at tbe present time, to throw the gates wide open to the invading corporation. Messrs. I.tikens and Hamilton are the dissenting councilmen, and they bave declared that ths intereata of the people are paramount to the demands of the Southern Pacific. Theee men cannot be bribed nor browbeaten, and the com pany's ngents will find that they cannot capture Pasadena hy tho usual methods. Aa at preaent conatituted, the city coun cil of Paaadena might defy even tbe Walpoiian tactics of Lobbyist Holly, re cently resigned. As a matter of fact, this entire propo sition ia a solemn farce. The pretense that tbe Iranchiee is to be auctioned to tbe highest bidder is laughable in view of the fact that the Southern Pacific is the oply bidder, and the ordinance granting 1119 franchise was trained to meet the requirements of that corpora tion. It is serious iv that it is an effort to make Pasadena a Southern Pacific reservation, with all the privileges thereunto appertaining. It is not likely that Messrs. Lukens and Hamilton will yield to the pressure that is being brought to bear on them, and tbe raihoad company will be com pelled to be cnutent with what it bas already grabbed outeide oi the town. Pasadena will not sutler if the railroad goea around the city, aa it hat been compelled to do iv other in stances, Xo city has been injured hy keeping thia corporation away from its streets, avenues and thorough fares, aud, on the other band, those comtnunitiea who have allowed the cor poration to gain a foothold have re gretted the concession in angry protest against tbo arrogance and tyranny that have invariably dieplayed them selves as characterietica of what Arthur McEwen haa aptly called "tbe associated villaiuies." San Fran cisco is at tbe present moment com pletely in the toils of the Southern Pacific, and Oakland has been ruled for many years by a corporation despotism that haa re.iucsd the city to a condition of servitnde bordering on absolute slavery. In the latter instance tbe rail road company baa stolen the entire water front aud secured possession of the moat valuable franchises within tbe gilt of the municipality, effectually precluding every effort at compe tition and defying every effort of the people to resist the extortions aud exactions of a monopoly tbat regards no interests except its own —a selfish, grasping, rapacious, in sensate beaet tbat Adolph Sutro has called an "octopus," finding no better designation for tbe monster tban tbe term applied to the hideoua dcvii fish, whose prehensile tentacles reach out to embrace that which the voracious rop tile would devour. Paeadena will consult her best inter eats by avoiding the grasp of the oc topus. THE SUGAR COMBINE. With the possible exception of its il lustrated pamphlet giving export dis counts on protected manufacture 3, and published some years since, tbe pamph let on thesugar distribution combine, by lion. John de Witt Warner, jaet issued by tbe Reform club, is perhaps the most interesting of its widely known series. Treating as it does of a subject as to which vague iutimatioua bave ior yeara been made on every hand, it preaenta the summarized results of an investiga tion reaching every corner of the United States and based upon what is evidently an enormous collection of original docu ments including accounts, correspond ence, minutes and proceedings of local oiganizationa—which lay open to view the workings ol the sugar Must, from its very inception, along the lines iv which it moat direct Ly aU'ecta the American people. The secret history ig given of a com i plete system of Wholesale Grocers'aß • eoiiations. each subsidiajv to the Miliar trust and paid by it a generous commis ! lion on condition of thair keeping; the ; price of sugars up to the point dictated by the trust; while the copiea of corres pondence and accounts furnished leave nothing to be desired ia the way of acu rate detail. i he author's conclusion ia perhaps the baet summary of the dotaila given : "With the .Spreck<i)B in control of Hawaii and ths ilavenmeyers extending their plantations in Cuba, the trust dic tates to every branch of sugar produc tion and distribution in the I'nited Slater;, tnkinir undor its wing every one concerned excopt those who consume (■titftir. From its officea at 117 Wall etieet cable messages fly daily to its agents hi Cuba, fixing; tha price of raw sugars there; to San Franoipco announc ing 'Cuban parity', nt which arriving Hawaiian sugars ate to ba. valued; to Louisiana, tellies her planters what — in view of Cuban and Hawaiian price 3— the trust condecsnda to offer for Amuri can • ugar ; and lo ita representatives all over the world, giving tine limit, based on Cuban parity—at which they can pick up Austrian, Javan, Philippine, Brazilian and other Bttgars when thaßO are temporarily depressed isa price. In en adjoining room the quotations at or above which the subßerviant dealerß throughout the country are permitted to sell eugara are daily settled! and. and through the four great sugar brokers who stand nearest tue throne theee are passed to thi> forty others who await the ensar trust's nod at New York and telegraphed to U>3 AKCSEEES ttERAT,T>t TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 11, 1804, [ the waiting bundreda in other cities |of the land. These in turn ao promptly j notify their patrons, the thousands of wholesale grocers of the country, that | before their doora are openod all danger |of any purchaeer getting hie soger be low trust pricea ie over for the day. By diecount from bis bill or periodical re mittance, aa the caae may be, each faith ful wholesaler is promptly and liberally paid for his loyalty; and whenever, in tbe criais of legislation, he heara tbe bugle call of the trust, he instantly ; steps into line, ready to bombard bia congressmen with telegrama or fight bim with ballots at short range until the BUgar trust cause is triumphant. Such ie the grainiest trade organ:/, ition the world baß ever Been. The sugar trust dic'atea the tribute tbat shall be rendered by tha American people. A REPUBLICAN LEGACY. Senator Charles I. Fiulkner, char mnn of the Democratic congressional committee, undertakes, in the current number of the N irlh American U;vieT-, to dotin? the meaning of the recent elec lions, lie begins wi'h tiie RBttertion tbat after a full discussion aud the niOßt deliberate consideration, the American | people in 1890, and again in 1898, by an ! overwhelming expression, condemned, the extravagance of MrKinleyiam and approved the declaration of principles announced by the Democratic conven i tion at Chicago, which euoDraced. as its moat essential iea'ure, the tenet that j the power of taxation with which the government was clothed, was limited to [ the r.vising of revanus to meet the nec- I eoaary and economical expenditures of i the government, and for no other pur ! poee. This declaration ia not an enun ciation of free trade, nor was it so i understood by the country. The people were another titoa con fronted with an economic Bystem that had grown and nourished lor over 25 yeara, whose grasping beneficiaries at each period of ita ravisiin had increased the burden, end demanded additional onerjna exactions ol the people, not with a view of meeting govornraental wants or administrative necessities, but I for the purpose oi increasing their own I profits and accumulationa. ! Tbia poliov culminated iv what is I known aa McKinleyism. The issue j passed upon was therefore clearly un ! deratood by the American people, and the results of the elections of 1804 have not reversed their verdict. Tbe eatiees which have led to what ia supposed by some to be a change of een timenton the part of the electors of ttra country, will, by a closer examination, ba found to rest upon a foundation other than an npproval of a prohibitive tariff. Tbe correctness of thia position ia fully sustained hv tho course of the leaders of the Republican party during the present campaign. Put one of ita prominent statesmen has maintained the policy of McKinleyism, while all othera have been careful to avoid committing tham selves to its principles, being willinz to submit the appeal made to the country on tbe details of the existing law aa passed by a Democratic congress. The Republican leader, except Mr. McKinley, haa formulated a policy on the subject by which his party should bs guided iv the Fifty-fourth congreßß; bnt with a deliberate purpose to exclude the consideration of any change in tbe existing law, it has boldly proclaimed that the interest of the coun try required that tariff agitation should cease. Thia, Senator Faulkner assumes, is an acquiescence by tbe Republican leaders in the policy announced and em bodied in the revenue act of 1594, or at least an admission tbat it is to have a fair trial. Reviewing the financial situation and showing its bearing on tho opinions of the people aa expressed in the recent election, Sanator Faulkner calls atten tion to the fact tbat when Mr. Harrison eurrendered the a Iminiatration nf the government to his Democratic successor he at the aame time turned over to him a bankrupt treaeury. To such an extent ia thia true that his secretary of the treasury, Mr. Foster, had, in February, Is:).), issued a written order, directing that the pla'as bs pre pared for the printing of bonds, that through their negotiation tbe m sag re balance in the treasury mi.;ht ba en larged. From June, ls'JJ. until March, 1593, every means had beon employed to conceal the condition of the treasury ; generally by delaying and postponing the payment of requisitions made upon it. That the monthly statements of the treasury department might show a balance of available Besets, $54 000,003 of a trust fund held for tbe redemption of na tional bank notes,thirty millions of seign iorage from the coinage o! silver bul lion, and |24,000,000 ol subsidiary coin were treated in the monthly statements by the treasury department aa available assets for the discharge of public obliga tions. The Sherman silver purchasing law, "a more makeshift" to harmonize Republican differences, with other cauesß, hud Bhaken tiie confidence of inveators to such an extent that the ex cess of gold exports over gold imports during Mr. Harrison'* ndministru/'on exceeded the sum of $157,000,000. The reckless extravagance of the Fifty-brat congress, and the genera! but rapid re duction of the publio revenues un der the prohibitory provisions of the McKinley bill, brought this great and wealthy government face to face with national bankruptcy, and laid the foundation for the panic which broke upou the country in its acute form almost immediately after the inaugur ation of Mr. Cleveland. Confidence, not only among the financiers aud busi uaae portion of the community, but, like v widening circle, among all classes, was shattered. A monetary stringency marked a period ot tbe moat absolute buaineaa depression. Sacorltiai shrank from 25 tool! per cent, the value of the producta of all the great induetriea de clined. ludußtrinl stagnation, with its attending evils, made iubor cry lor bread. Such waa tbe legacy bequeathed to the Democratic party on the tbres hold of ita administration of tbe gov ernment. A treasury depleted to the point of insolvency, busiueaa diaorgan* izad, labor unemployed ; all resulting from cauaea for which the Democratic paarty waa in no way responsible, and which it had enjoyed no opportunity to remedy. To reatore the confidence which had been lost through thia financial depres sion and industrial paralyeia that waa felt in every hamlet as well aa in tbe buav marts of trade, and to put in op eration the wheals of activity, both time and affirmative legislation weie required. A candid and impartial observer of current events must admit tbat this con dition of affairs continuing from the sit turner of 1893, tho tariff bill was passed too late to admit of ita beneficial effect being felt and Observed by the country before tha eloclion. For theae roatons it ia not unfair nor unreasonable to claim tbat, among the most prominent causes which controlled the result at the re cant election, wore the financial and industrial condition of ths country, the result of iufluencea which had their origin during the administration of the government by the Republican party. THE FOREIGN POPULATTON. Toe lateat census bulletin gives ata tialica of foreign parenlaae in 36 states and territories showing the number of persons having one or both parents for eigu born. From this tabulation it ap ppars that out of a total population in 188.) oi 50,105 783, there were 14,922,74*. or 29 i."i per cent, who hail either one or both parents born in foreign connt.'iaa. Iv tbe 36 statea and territories for which the tabulations were completed, the whole number having either one or both parente foreign born waa 5,758 - 811. or 21.85 per cent of tho total popu lation (26 354,124) of the statea and ter ritories considered. In these slatss and territories there were 2,073,217 peraons of loreign birth, or 4102 per cent only of all the foieign born in the United S.atea iv ISS9, of which number 13 307 ware oi native parentage, that is, although of foreign birth themselves their parenta wers both native born. The whole number of persona of foreign birth who were of foreign parentage, that i:, who had cither one or both parents foreign born, in thoae 36 etates and territoriea was 2,669,910, leaving 3 093,901 peraona who ware of native birth but of foreign parentage. In tbe United Statea as a whole tbe foreign born psreona in 18S0 numbered 0,079 913 and the foreign born peraona of native parentaga were.esti mated to be 33,252. The whole number of foreign born parsons of foreign parent age in the Uuited States in 1830, there fore, was, approximately, 6,6(6,691, whilo the whole number of native born persons of foreign parentage waa, ap proximately, 8.270,053. In ISOOtha tabulations regarding for eign parentage comprehended for white persona not only Ireland and Germany, which were the only countries separate ly tabulated in 1880, but also each of the countries comprising the nationality groups used iv ISSJ, aa England, Scot lend and Wales, iuatoal of Great Britain; Sweden, Norway aud Denmark, instead of Scandinavia ; a aeoaratiou, ac cording to French aud English extrac tion, for Canada ami Newfoundland : be aides giving in addition thereto those countries from which more recent con tributions of noticeable proportions have been received, particularly during the past decade, as r,ihemia, Hungary, France, Italy and Ruaaia. The colored population in 1890 was enly tabulated as regards the number who were either of native or foreign parentage. Considering first the results arrived at in 1890 in a general way, it appears that the whole number of peraom of foreign parentage, without regard to color, waa 20,076,040, or 33 02 per cent of the total population, which in 1890 waa 62,022, --250. The whole number of white per aons of foreign parentage iv 1390 waa 20,510 043. while the colored persons of foreign parentage numbered 156,4 ; .)3. The foreign white in 1890 numbered 9,121,807, of which 105,899, or 1.16 per cent, were of nr.ttve parentage, that is, had both parenta native boru. Ihe whole immoer of foreign white persona of foreign parentage in IS9J waa, there fore. 9,015,968, leaving 11.5J3.675 native white persons of foreign parentage. The number of foreign colored who were of native parentago was not ssparately tabulated iv 18K0. It now seema that the Mexican Geo graphical society is in earnest in its de mentia ou the government of that re public to assert a right to the Channel islands. Of course there can only be one reply to Mexico's claimß and that ia a denial, although it ia entirely possible that when the treaty of Guadalupe Hi dalgo was signed no one thought of the island • off the California coast as pos sessing any value. 'Titles to theee is landa had, however, been granted by the Mexican government previous to the American occupation oi California, and tbo3e titles bave passed into the hands of American citizens who are now in possession and even in tbe remote con tingency of Mexico's claim being made good, that nation would still have to respect the title of tfie present possessors. Mexico had better confine ita desire for territorial aggrandizement to a south erly direction. No one objects to Pres ident Diaz taking a piece or all of Cen tral America, but when he makes pre tentions to a piece of California, unleas it iB merely done under pre-election pressure end. lor political effect, he had better look a little out. Arthur M'Ewen ia defending the girl who ridea on a bicycle. He asks if one who ia not himself a bicyclist, and hardened to the company ot bicyclists, can eae a t;irl on a wheel without experi encing either a de;i re to overt his eyea or to look at her closer, Tiie energetic action of her figure does couvey to the observing novice an impression of im modesty, juat aa a woman aatride a horse does. It ib all a matter of ueage. When with the pasßage of yeara it shall become as common for women to be on bicycles and to bestride horses as it is for tbem now to recline in carriages, only a sur viving Granniss will apply the teat of modesty. The reason that the unused eye questions, is that the skirt ia pri marily designod to deny tbe fact of legs. It is tbe Grannisaes and tbe Willarda who are vulgar, not the women who obey the fashions of tbeir time. If tbe question were up as a new one—how women should be clothed—Mra. Gran nias' objections to the low-cut corsage and tho V-shaped back would be obvi ously timely and decent. But as cus toms exist it ia as indelicate to debate the decollete dress as it would be to inveigh against tbe waltz in a ballroom aa an unchaste exercise. Reformera wiio are acutely conscious of their sex should never array themselves in one or indulge themselves in the other. And reformers wbo can't find more serious, evils to at tack in thia naughty world than tbe follies of fashion or the mild excesses of the minor theatera have mistaken their sphere ; they belong in tho aewing c rem and could be better utilzsd by their be loved paatora in church work. The convention of supervisors which will assemble to-day in this city may be made the nucleus of an im portant movement towards concerted action on behalf oi measures beneficial to Southern California. It is proposed to discuss methods for encouraging im migration, the improvement of county roads, county government, '.he harbor question and the feasibility of fart ber and more determined agitation favorable to state di vision. The counties represented will be San Bernardino, Orange, Santa Barbara, Riverside, Ventura, San U.ego a.id Los Angelea. The delegates are men thoroughly competent to proeent the necessities and requirements of their sections, aud it is probable that the re sult of their deliberations will be some definite plan by which the intereata common to this portion of the state may be given greater prominence and effect than has been hitherto possible by in dividual ell'ort. If tbe various legislative delegations had been invited to meet ttie county representatives immediate ben efit might have accrued by tbe formula tion of propositions to be presented to the legislature. F.ven without consulta tion it will be possible to instruct the delegations by resolutions as to what they may accomplish (or the general welfare of the section, and thiß conven tion should not adjourn without some such action. MUSIC. The Y. M. C. A. auditorium waß very well tilled last evening (or the concert that waß given under the direction of Mr. Frederick Stevenaon. Mrs. C. E. Wenger was detained by illness and her place on the programme was tilled by Mra. Snapps of St. Paul. Mr. Blake too, on account of a cdld, was unable to eing more than one of bit songs, and waa eubstituted by Mias Sargent. I .seep: (or tbe above alight changea the pro gramme waa given aa advertised and each number waa thoroughly enjoyed by the audience. Mr. Blake's voice, while rougher than usual, waa rich and full, and the Muleteer of Tarragona, with ita piano and organ accompani ment went with much spirit and finish. Miaa Padgham'd clear, high voice was heard to good advantage in her num bers and her pianissimo tones are par ticularly aweet. Herr Arnold Krauae waa at hia beat last night; he haa never played better here, and hia brilliant technique, sweetness and fulness of totie and delicacy of ehading were delightfully in evidence. OI Miia Koger'e accom paniments only praise can be said ; ehe never lorces the soloist, yet is always with either voice or string and tier exe cution is clean and her reading intelli gent. Mr. Stevenaon provided a very inter esting programme for his evening in As sociation hall, and the various numbers were all moat enjoyable. There will be a aocial under theauspiceßof tbe Ladies' auxiliaty at the same place Friday evening, December 18tb, to which ail are invited. PUPIL*' RECITAL. A piano recital waß given laat evening by the pupila oi Mrß. T. Maar.c at her residence, northeast cornsr Grand ave nue and Eleventh street. A programme of 12 numbers, on which appeared the names of I. Rubinstein, Paderewski, were very well rendered, and the yjung ladies aie all doing good work. Tbe laet number was ploye l by .Mm. Masac, Liezt'e transcription oi MeudeleßObn'a Aiidstimtnernight music, including the Wedding march, and aim did it full jus tice. The majestic chorda and digmhed harmonies, followed by dainty, tripping measures, again returning to the Berious marcb, gave Mra. Masac opportunity to show ber force and her delicacy by turns ; her execution was crisp, and her modulations artistic. The rooms wore comiortcbly filled with an interested audience, and tbe evening satisfactory from a student's point of view, and in teresting from that of the listener's. A Use for W-ary Hteglaa.
