FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8.
The Hon. S. C. Pomeroy—“Subsidy
Pom”—is on deck in Kansas, and pro
poses to make it warm for Senator Plumb.
"Pom,” of course, will have the support
of the administration.
A Radical organ speaks of Blaine as
“a giant refreshed.” As he has been
out of a job for some time, and has kept
out of range of the sun, it is probable
that he feels betterthan he did some time
back.
Col. Van H. Manning and “the hero
of Port Pillow” have settled their diffi
culties and buried the hatchet. The Con
gressional canvass in the second Missis
sippi district will, therefore, proceed
without gore.
The Cincinnati Time* Star expresses
the opinion that “the popularity of Mr.
Stephens in Georgia seems to be as great
as ever, notwithstanding the fact that so
many papers of his own party are trying
to write him down.”
Admiral Robeson must have taken an
extra pull of grog when he heard that
Whitthorne, of Tennessee, was to be
left at home. The Admiral loved the
man that exposed him about as well as
Ham an loved Mordecai.
The beauties of protection can be
readily estimated when put in the light
of bounties. The New York Tims* esti
mates that if the barons’ profits from
protective duties were given in bounties
the people would be taxed $500,000,000
a year.
The carte blanche given to Kellogg
to rob the Louisiana government clerks
may be claimed by the Radical candi
dates in the other districts of that State.
In fact, the privilege may be indefinitely
extended. But Hubbell appears, so to
speak, to be running the thing in the
ground.
Missouri is emphatically a Jay Gould
State. He now controls all competing
railroad lines in that State and corporate
property of various descriptions aggre
gating $120,000,000, and having in the
service an army of 42,000 employes.
Here is a splendid chance for boss Filley,
if he only knew it.
The Rads are resorting to their same
old tactics. They are charging already
that the Democratic victory in Arkansas
was the result of bulldozing. This is
done so as to give Dr. Brewster a cbance
to carry out his role in the administra
tion programme for capturing Southern
Congressional seats.
“I could stand here,” remarks Mr.
Voorhees, “and read to you by the hour
an unbroken chain of Democratic author
ity, from the very beginning of the pres
ent century until the last Presidential
canvass, showing that the position of the
Democratic party has always lieen in
favor of a tariff for revenue, with pro
tection to our home industries to the
extent of that revenue.” Precisely. If
the barons will be satisfied with such a
tariff, the people will have no cause for
complaint.
And now they do say, and this time
with an emphasis which smacks of
truth, that Chet is certainly engaged,
and is to give the White House a mistress
next winter. The name of the lady is
kept a secret for the present, but the
marriage is announced to take place
early in the coming fall. The President
is right. He should give the country a
Presidentess who will reflect credit and
dignity upon American society. Besides
this he will probably need a consoler
after the fall elections.
The Sanitiiry Engineer publishes a long
report of experiments made to ascertain
the best method of making traps effec
tive to prevent the admission of sewer
gas into houses. The experiments show
clearly that as a rule nearly all the com
mon forms of traps are almost worthless
as a protection, unless provided with
vent pipes as large as the traps them
selves. When it is considered how few
houses are thus provided, a very good
idea may be formed as to the sanitary
value of modern plumbing.
Our Sesqui-Centennial.— The sug
gestion of our correspondent “Modoc,”
which we published yesterday, to the
effect that the sesqui centennial celebra
tion of the landing of Oglethorpe be cel
ebrated on the 23d of February, Wash
ington’s birthday, has some points about
it to commend it to popular favor. Nev
ertheless we think the two celebrations
should be separate and distinct. Wash
ington’s birthday is observed every year
in a stereotyped sort of way, and is a
matter of course. The landing of Ogle
thorpe, however, will never lie celebrated
but once in fifty years, and its import
ance in Georgia is so great that nothing
should be done to disturb its identity. It
seems to us that it would be out of place
to celebrate the one hundred and fiftieth
anniversary of the settlement of Georgia
ten days after it had passed.
The New York Times is by no means
encouraged at the Republican outlook in
Maine, which it characterizes as not dis
couraging but not flattering. It at
tributes the damage to its party to the
fact that the machinery of the party has
fallen so completely into the hands of
Mr. Blaine and his followers, and that
they have used it with so arbitrary a
spirit, and with so deliberate a purpose
to sacrifice the progress of the party to
their personal aims as to drive off many
Republicans to the fusionists. It says that
“Mr. Blaine, partly through the effect of
.the opposition to him at home, partly by
the succession of General Arthur to the
Presidency, and largely by the display
he has made of his unfitness for high
position, has fallen from the post of
power which he at one time maintained
with so much misdirected energy. ”
Several years since the well earned
reputation of the Louisville Courier and
the Louisville Journal induced the own
ers of these two papers, when their for
tunes were limited, to give the world a
hyphenized title,that of Courier-Journal,
and thus perpetuate their names and
fame. It was a newspaper romance that
those battle-scarred veterans, who had
so often fought fiercely in the field
of politics, should now live to
gether in peace and harmony.
But what excuse is there for
some of the hyphenized titles now in
flicted upon unprotected subscribers?
When two papers realize the sad fact
that there is not bread iql,meat enough
for both, and that united' they may
starve, but divided they must fail utterly
and without hope, let the editors (to use
the craft’s term for their game of chance)
“jeff” as to what name their united mise
ries should bear, whether “Bumble Bee"
or the “Broad Ax.” But for mercy sake,
don’t inflict upon our innocent public
such a title as the “Bumble Bee-Broad
Ax.”
Can Georgians be Corrupted!
A few days since our special telegram
from Washington made the somewhat
startling announcement that regular sys
tematic plans for the capture of South
ern seats in the Forty eighth Congress
had been decided upon by the adminis
tration ard the Republican leaders in
Washington. Nothing definite as to
their plans was given, it being stated
that they would be developed in due
time. Since then it seems that the secret
is out, and that the proposed programme
is to be divided into three parts. Wil
liam E. Chandler, now Secretary of the
Navy, mainly because of the
part he played in stealing the
electoral vote of Florida in 1876, is
to manipulate matters to the extent of
his peculiar ability, and accomplish
whatever can be accomplished by cypher
telegrams and fraud generally, while
it will also come in his line to manufac
ture cases against managers of elections,
etc. Then Hon. Benjamin Harris
Brewster, our brilliant Attorney Gene
ral, of the voluminous shirt ruffles and
dinner plate coat of-arms, is to come in
as an accessory to Chandler, and instruct
United States Marshals and their depu
ties to give him all the assistance in
their power to enable him to carry out
his system of political persecutions in
the United States Courts. Then, in all
other cases, where neither cypher tele
grams, fraud nor political trials can be
made Callable, Jay Hubbell’s corruption
fund is to be liberally drawn on for the
purpose of purchasing votes.
This is a very pretty and highly char
acteristic Radical scheme, but it will fail.
The days of cypher telegrams and such
have passed. They can never be made
successful without the aid of Radi
cal returning boards, and these in
stitutions died along with all the
other corruptions of Radicalism in
the South. Brewster will find well
nigh insuperable difficulties in the way
of instituting political persecutions in
this section; for, apart from his own de
cision, recently rendered, that a member
of Congress is a State and not a Federal
officer (a decision which must nec
essarily give jurisdiction to State
courts alone over cases involving
the validity of Congressional elections),
there is the recent decision of Judge
Woods, of the United States Supreme
Court, in the “Ku-Klux act,” which holds
that all offenses against citizens of a
State—such as interfering with their ex
ercise of the elective franchise, etc. —are
purely State offenses, with which United
States courts had nothing to do. These
two “frozen facts” will pretty well
settle Brewster, and the only thing left
tc be considered is the efficacy of Jay
Hubbell’s fund for corrupting Southern
voters.
As far as the masses of the voters of
the South, and especially of Georgia, are
concerned we regard the mere supposi
tion that they can be bribed to part with
all principle, and sell their votes to the
political opponents of their section for
money, is a vile insult which our people
will be prompt to resent. When the
South emerged from the war, poverty
stricken and burdened to the earth with
a loss of property greater than the entire
public debt of the United States Govern
ment, she still retained her honor. This
honor has never yet been sullied. At
the closeof the conflict,when overrun and
despoiled of the little left remaining to her
by Radical thieves and carpet baggers,
she was assured that if she would deny
her principles and cease to resist her po
litical enemies, not only would all op
pression of her cease, but she would be
granted a high place in the councils of
the country. The Radical Satan showed
her all the vast wealth to be conferred by
the spoils of office, and which could
easily be, and was every day being, ac-
cumulated by corrupt Radical rings and
cliques fostered and encouraged by a
Radical Congress and a Radical adminis
tration, aud told her that all these things
would be given her if she would only
fall down and worship the tempter. A
few, very few, yielded to temptation,
but as a rule the South inexorably re
fused any such dishonorable conditions
of prosperity. The disastrous conclusion
of the war, the poverty it entaiied, the
uprooting of her society and the destruc
tion of her labor system were all grievous
evils, but the honor of the South was
dearer to her than all things else, and
this she refused to part with. In conse
quence, after bearing her ills with a for
titude which commanded the admiration
of the world, she succeeded after a time
in exorcising the Radical devil and ob
taining control of her own affairs. From
this date she began steadily to prosper,
until to day she finds herself with untar
nished escutcheon and on the highway
to honorable wealth and future power
and greatness.
If, then, Mr. Arthur thinks that he can
capture Southern seats in Congress by
the free use of Hubbell’s corruption
fund, we are very much mistaken if lie
does not find liimself calculating without
his host. The mere fact that he imagines
that such a thing is possible should de
termine the Southern people to remain
even more firmly than ever true to their
principles. This determination is special
ly desirable for Georgians at this time,
since Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, in his
recent speech in Atlanta, stated that he
expected more money would be spent to
carry Georgia into the party of cor
ruption and centralization than any
other State in the Union. In view of this
fact, we can do no better than quote the
eloquent words of the Democratic stand
ard bearer of this State to his fellow
citizens on this subject. Says he:
“Georgians, weak as I am, feeble as I
am, I do not wish to live to see the day
when this grand, proud old State shall
be submerged in that tide! [Applause.]
Let our noble old State be the Ararat on
which the waves, after sweeping over
Virginia, and North Carolina, and South
Carolina, and Florida and Louisiana,
shall surge in vain, and on whose sum
mit the ark of the covenant of the Con
stitution may rest. [Long continued
applause.] How can it be prevented?
Fellow citizens, I tell you it can only be
done by organization. [Loud applause.]
I repeat what Washington said: ‘When
bad men conspire good men must unite. ’
We must work together. We must un
derstand the danger. We must not
abuse or quarrel with each other, but we
must persuade and bring all to see the
danger and act together ”
Hon. J. E. Dart, ex-Mayor of Bruns
wick, is the Democratic candidate of
Glynn county for Representative in the
General Assembly. Mr. Dart is a lumber
merchant and a gentleman of marked
ability. He is also a good, clear beaded
speaker, as was shown by the several lit
tle speeches which he h%s made during
the present Democratic Convention of
the First Congressional district. He will
receive, we understand, not only the solid
Democratic vote of Glynn county, but
also the votes of all the Republicans in
the county who favor putting the best
men in office.
Mr. Boucicault writes in a recent letter:
“Egypt was fatal to Assyria; to the He
brews; to 8t George, who was hung for
looting, and to Napoleon. It is the grave
yard of the world, and England has gone
there to steal a lot for a quiet family
vault."
General E. P. Alexander.
The election of this gentleman as
President of the Central Railroad, in the
place of the lamented Mr. Wadley, has,
as far as we have been able to learn,
given very general satisfaction. Geueral
Alexander is undoubtedly a “railroad
man” of a very high order of ability.
This he has proven on various occasions
in the past few years. While still con*
nected with a not very prominent rail
road in Alabama, he displayed such
marked capacity for railroad manage
ment that he was taken up and made
President of the Georgia Railroad,defeat-
ing for that position Hon. John P. King,
who had been intimately identified with
the road for many years, during a great
portion of which time he had managed
it as its head, to the entire satisfaction
of the stockholders and the manifest
benefit of that important highway. This
was the highest possible compliment to
General Alexander, and he fully vindi
cated the trust reposed in him.
Under his management the road
prospered beyond precedent, and so
much did he add to his reputation that
he was, about two years ago, offered the
first Vice Presidency of the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad. This brought
him into prominence as one of the rail-
road magnates of the country, and he
speedily liecame the virtual head of that
great inter-State commercial highway,
which important position he held, with
honor to himself and credit to his com
pany, until but a few months ago, when
he resigned for the purpose of enjoying
a season of rest, which he felt he abso
lutely needed.
Coming to the Presidency of the Cen
tral with this prestige, there cannot be
a doubt that in his hands that old reliable
line will continue to prosper as it did
under the management of Mr. Wadley,
especially as we learn that its efficient Vice
President, Captain W. G. Raoul, and its
active and ever wide awake Superin
tendent, Colonel William Rogers, are to
retain their old places, in which, under
the former administration, they were
invaluable. A bright future is
to be anticipated for the Central,
therefore, and in this anticipation the
stockholders and the public generally
evidently join, as we notice that within
the past two days renewed confidence
has been exhibited in its stock. We
have no doubt that the directors have
made a wise choice in the selection of
General Alexander as the head of that
corporation, and that he will continue
to work as faithfully to advance its in
terests, and those of the people of the
State and the city of Savannah, as did
his highly venerated and sincerely la
mented predecessor.
Farmers’ Cooperative Union.
The farmers of Florida have organ
ized a “Co-operative Union,” with Mr.
E. T. Paine, of St. John’s county, as
President. They have obtained a char
ter and established the headquarters of
the Union at Jacksonville. They are tak
ing a wise view of matters, and are accu
mulating strength for the more efficient
management of their shipping interests,
and at the same time are creating a respon
sible head for negotiation. They have is
sued a pamphlet containing their charter
and by-laws, with an appeal to the farm
ers of the State, in which the aims and
objects of the association are clearly and
strongly set forth. A cordial invitation
is also extended to the farmers of Georgia
to join them, and the President promises
to visit all the truck growing localities in
both States for the purpose of explaining
the great advantages to be derived from
the co-operative system.
We have received the circular of Sec
retary Josh. H. Beall, of the American
Agricultural Society, announcing that the
third annual convention of the association
will be held in Chicago, commencing on
Wednesday, December 15th, 1882,
and to continue three days. The session
will be held in the Grand Pacific Hotel,
and addresses will be delivered aud
papers read by the ablest known agri
cultural scientists and public men in the
country.
Reduced rates of fare are expected on
all the railroads leading to Chicago, and
every farmer and all interested in agri
culture are cordially invited to attend.
Membership in the association is $3,
which admits also to the association’s
proposed exhibition to be held
next year, and entitles those join
ing to all its publications, includ
ing the splendid Quarterly, which con
tains all the proceedings of the asso
ciation, the addresses and valuable
papers read before it. Payments made
now will be good for next year. The
address of the Secretary is 19 University
Place, New York.
That the star route gang would move
heaven and earth to escape the peniten
tiary was made evident long ago, and
Judge Wylie’s revelations in the court
room yesterday (as detailed in our dis
patches) might have startled the public
had they not already been discounted.
That the accused or their agents would
attempt to “fix" the jury few
doubted, and despite the honesty of the
jurors who posted the court upon the
efforts to seduce them, many will only
be satisfied that the arbiters of the fate
of the thieves are what they purport to
be when the eloquent word “guilty” has
been uttered.
Professor Perry, of Williams College,
America’s greatest economist, says that
our protective tariff has cost us in twenty
years $12,000,000,000 in gold, over and
above what a revenue tariff would have
cost us; that this is three times as much
as the war cost us; and that all this
money is worse than wasted. J. S.
Moore, an expert, and successful busi
ness man, estimates the present loss at
$1,000,000,000 a year. Mr. Voorhees
will do well to give these figures his
prayerful consideration.
The exports of domestic produce from
the port of New York during the past
week were of good proportions, the
total being $7,570,611, against $8,442,-
812 for the same week last year. Both
flour and wheat are moving out to a
considerable extent, but the shipments
of other breadstuffs remain small. Of
other chief articles, provisions, petro
leum, cotton, etc., the exports are about
as usual. Since January 1, they aggre
gate $22*850,703. against $260,394,672
for corresponding period of 1881.
The United States Treasurer reports a
balance of $121,887,353 of silver on the
Ist of September, against $119,811,125
on the first of August, a gain of over two
millions in the total amount of the silver
coinage in a month. In the same time
the gold supply has increased from
$145,079,000 to $149,308,921. The cause
of this increase of specie of both kinds
is the temporary cessation in the call of
government bonds, the legal tenders hav
ing also increased nearly a million in the
last month.
Tammany has concluded to send dele

Nashville, Tenn., is making extensive
preparations for a grand military encamp
ment and interstate competitive drill next
May, and the manager and board of direc
tors in charge have issued a circular to the
different military organizations throughout
the United States stating that $8,250 will be
paid in prizes. The first prize, infantry
driil, will be $4,000, and the bmd furnish

Dom Pedro, Emperor of Brszil, cares
nothing for splendor. He rides in an or
dinary black coach, usually drawn by six
mules, and followed by twelve cavalrymen,
mostly negroes, whose discipline is not too
s’rlct to permit them to smoke cigarettes
while escorting His Majesty. The Emperor
wears the plainest of black clothes, and is
very courteous to all who approach him.
He has aged rapidly since his visit to the
United States six years ago.
Nearly one-third of the territory of the
United States is interested in mining. Dur
ing twelve years past more than $875,000,000
of gold and silver have been produced. In the
struggle for supremacy between Nevada,
California and Colorado, the Centennial
Btate has come off victorious, furnishing
last year $23,000,000, while California and
Nevada comrlbuted only $19,000,000 and
$15,000,000. Colorado 16 also claiming su

but that is rather a wild claim.
A Vermont man has invented a gun which

wanted is a gun which will hit something or
other within five feet of the ground, when
the brave soldier who bears it is in such a
hurry that he aims for the sky.”
Cetewayo, after having been lionized in
England, is by no means certain of a warm
reception upon his return to Zululand. The
colonists of Durban are getting up memo

are full of consternation thereat, aud declare
that It is a certain prelude to war. The Pall
Mall Gazette declares that if the present an
archy continues Zululand will no doubt In
time be opened to the colonial land grabber.
According to the Daily News correspondent,
Sir. H. Bulwer also deprecates Cetewayo’s
return.
The Maine home of ex-Senator Blaine Is
a neat frame house standing in the centre
of an acre or so of ground at the further end
of the chief street of Augusta. There are
pretty 6hade trees in the yard. Graveled
walks run through the greensward and
around an occasional bed of flowers. It Isn’t
a pretentious place, and there are many far
more showy within gunshot. It has a quiet,
contented air, however, that attracts stran
gers, who, while passing more imposing
houses without Inquiry, are almost certain
to ask when they reach this one: “Who
lives there?"
There was a good deal of illusion about
the rise of the Nile. It seems to be thought
that for a few weeks the delta and the val
ley of the Nile are a lake, and then that
they are a muddy swamp. The water of
the Nile Hows Into canals; from thence it is
pumped every morning as long as the rise
lasts into small rills, which permeate the
fields, which are thus irrigated every morn
ing. The water evaporates every day, leav
ing In the evening dry mud. Thus, except
iu some lying districts, there never is an
expanse of low water or mud.
Three hundred and eight private bills
were introduced in Parliament this session.
One hundred and two of them originated in
the House of Lords and two hund.ed and
six in the House of Commons. Two hun
dred and twenty-nine of these bills became
law. Eight electric light bills were intro
duced, but all of them were subsequently
withdrawn. Twenty-six bills originating In
the Lords did not reach the Commons.
Nine: v-two out of one hundred and thirty
six railway bills became law; thirteen gas
bills out of fourteen and twenty-one tram
way bills out of twenty-two were also sue

The Japanese are restricted In the liberty

who was responsible for the preparation of
the notice, and accordingly suspended the
paper, which rejoices In the name of Uhoya

evident that a Paris editor is at work on

The proposition of some of the navy offi
cers a few weeks ago to give Chief Engineer
Melville and his companions a formal re
ception upon their arrival at New York on
the Cunard steamship Parthla has assumed
more extensive proportions than were an
ticipated. The reception will be given both
by line and staff officers, and a large number
of persons outside of the navy have signified
their desire to contribute financially, so as
to make It worthy of the occasion. Commo
dore Upshur will allow the committee to
use one of the navy yard tugs to carry the
gue6ts and meet the steamship upon its
arrival. The Parthla is expected to arrive
September 11 or 12 As soon as the vessel
is sighted off Fire Island or Sandy Hook the
tug will leave the navy yard with the offi
cers, and will step at Pier No. 1, North
river, for tbe other guests, and will then
meet the steamship at quarantine: The
party will then proceed un the North river,
and at the Fifth Avenue Hotel the general
reception will be held.
The latest bulletin of the Edison Electric
Light Company, of New York, announces
that It has just equippid nearly 400 build
ings with 6,000 electric lamps In the First
district of that city, and the work Is now
progressing at the rate of twenty buildings a
day. The report also shows the immense
activity being displayed in electrical circles
throughout the world. The Edison company
is now busy supplying lights in all portions
of Europe and America. Among the many
towns wplch they have lately supplied with
machinery and the lamps, the following may
give some idea of the spread of electricity:
Manchester, England; Amsterdam, Holland;
Paris, France; Berlin, Germany; Chicago;
Lincoln, England; Munich, Bavaria; San
Francisco, Baltimore, Boston, Havana,
Cuba; Santiago, Chili; London, England;
Valparaiso, Chl’i; Cincinnati; Milan, Italy;
Dantz'c, Prussia; St. Petersburg, Russia;
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Buda Pe*tb, Hun
gary. From all these cities have come large
orders for lamps during the past month, all
of which have been supplied.
The Manitoba Department of Agriculture
reports on the fruit growing capacity of the
Canadian Northwest. It has been said that
the prospect of fruit cultivation was dis
couraging, but now predictions are made
that in twenty years the talk of this destitu
tion will seem as absurd as the same remark
about Ontario. A retired Hudson Bay offi
cer gives the following list of Indigenous
fruits to be found in the Northwest: “Wild
plum or prune, two varieties; black frost
grape; service berry; red cherry, choke
cherry, sand cherry; blueberry or black
berry, gooseberry, two varieties, one oulte
large; red raspberry; strawberry; eyeberry;
blackberry, west of mountains; cranberry,
marsh, high, bush aud sand; mooseberry;
awauiplmrry or orangeberry; elderberry;
currants, red aud black; and bloodberry.’’
This la certainly a long catalogue for that
country, and with the exception of the
peach, quince and apricot, the Northwest
will he able to raise the fruits now cultiva
ted in Ontario. Formerly Nova Scotia,
Quebec aud Ontario were thought to be
without any prospect of apple harvests.
Now they export apples. It is thought
probable that apples can be raised in this
country as far north as they are cultivated
In Europe.

street, between Essex and Ludlow street*,
and the two latter streets as far as Cana
street. This mart is of comparatively
recent origin, dating from the advent
in force of the Russian-Jewish exiles,
who seem by common consent to have
fixed upon this malodorous neighbor
hood, possibly drawn thither by the
plentitude of Jewish names displayed on
the signboards which afford the desired
atmosphere of fellowship. The unmis
takable Semitic features encountered
make a bewildering conglomeration of
parabolic curves. In almost unbroken
line along the curbstones are rudely con
structed tables, or counters of rough
boards and ends of packing cases, on
which are displayed heaps of calicoes,
cheap prints, cotton handkerchiefs, and
other odds and ends of haberdashery,
On fixed stands outside of the stores are
piled t'nware, fish, meat, and vegetables,
while rickety wagons, drawn by “Gothic
steeds,” and shaky handcarts pro
pelled by swarthy and sweaty
Muscovitish descendants of Shem, are
laden with fruit, often far more fit for
the compost-heap than for human con
sumption. Potatoes are the only attract
tive and healthy-looking edibles to be
seen. The stands are, for the most part,
attended by women, in more or less
Oriental freedom of, or from, dress, the
older women invariably wearing brown
wigs. This curious custom is explained
by the statement that in their own coun
try on marriage the women are com
pelled to cut off their hair, “to keep
other men from falling in love with
them,” apparently a work of supereroga
tion. Itinerant clothiers, with their whole
stock in trade over their shoulders or
across their arms, war.der from corner to
corner, seeking whom they may “make
anew man of.” Half-clad children and
youths with some pretension to “style”
in dress fill iu the picture.
The market is at its best, or worst, ac
cording to the view that may be taken of
it, in the early morning of the second
day; it is then most crowded, and loco
motion is difficult. The “native” (Irish)
population does not take kindly to these
strangers from over the sea, and this is
manifested in may ways. Numbers of
belligerent women, designated by the
policemen on the beat a a “bums,” after
earning a dime or two in scrubbing or
other menial employment, and exchang
ing their earnings for “forty rod light
ning,” applied internally, occasionally
take the war-path against the children of
Israel, and with a “sprig of shillelah”
drive the timid tradesmen before them un
til checked in their career of conquest and
desolation by the faithful guardians of
the peace, who sometimes “run in” a
dozen or so of these Amazons in the
course of a day. “You can buy any
thing here, from a silk dress to an an
chor,” said a policeman to a Tribune re-
porter who drifted through the region,
and paused to study its beauties. The
reporter saw no anchors, and concluded
that they had been weighed—at least
they were found wanting. The silk
dresses, too, had evidently been gathered
in by some more favored'mother or wife
in Israel for the coming Sabbath. An
other foe haye these industrious persons.
Now and again a health inspector makes
a tour through the quarter and ruthless
ly seizes upon the overripe or unripe
fruit displayed for sale. The
owners cling to their wares and
remonstrate clamorously, but the offi
cials are unyielding, and carry off the
spoil to the garbage fleet, while the own
ers drop down ou the curbstone to be
wail their impending ruin, or go off for
more merchandise. All of these dealers
show permits from the Board of Aider
men when challenged, and, indeed, seem
readily to learn all the points of law
necessary for their protection or advan
tage, though, as already shown, they
sometimes disregard the city ordinances.
The prices paid for some of the stands
are remarkable. A peddler of tinware,
for a small stand outside a liquor store
at Hester and Ludlow streets, pays S4O
per month. Another, a dealer in poul
try and meat, for a basement room,
five steps down from the sidewalk
in an old frame house in Hester
street, pays $65 per month. The old
clothes dealers probably have the easiest
time. As the reporter passed, a Jew
clad in a jumper was selecting a coat
from a number borne on tbe arm of a
dealer. He finally took a light weight
coat, which really fitted him, and by its
neatness threw his once light but now
much variegated trousers into inharmo
nious relief. As he paid his $1 50 for it,
to his wife’s suggestion that be “might
have bought cheaper,” he replied with
the air of a man who appreciates his own
worth, “I never vill buy for less.” and
walked proudly off, feeling several
inches taller. The irade of this
unique mart seems to be mostly among
the Jewish classes, though occasionally
the Philistines and Gentiles venture to
buy there. It is a strict law of the mar
ket that everything must be over and the
stands and table , cleared and washed up
before sundown of Friday. At y greedv
or dilatory tradesman, who should break
the law, would be ignored by his core
ligionists for a fortnight or more, as
after sunset of Friday the Jewish Sab
bath begins, and this is held in great
reverence by these persons.
That Minnesota Magnetic Well.
St. Paul Pioneer-Press.
The proofs published yesterday morn
ing in the Pioneer-Press of the discovery
of a large deposit of iron ore upon the
property of the Bt. Paul Harvester
Works, just adjoining the city limits,
created a genuine sensation, and was the
talk of the town during the day. Some,
of course, doubted that the discovery
was of great importance, while others at
once saw the force of the proofs given
and became enthusiastic supporters of
the theory that St. Paul may soon be
come the centre of a great iron ore pro
ducing district. Some things which
were not stated in the article which ap
peared in the Pioneer-Press yesterday,
and which have an important
bearing upon this matter, may
now be given. Within the past
three weeks the long neglected eountry
between the city limits and White Bear
suddenly l>egan to be inquired for, and
real estate dealers were surprised to find
a great demand for outside property lying
to the northwest of St. Paul. For in
stance, W. L. Aimes sold the northeast
quarter of the northeast quarter of sec-
tion 27, town 29, range 22, for $40,716;
and the agent who reported the sale to a
Pioneer-Press reporter, stated at the time,
“there seems to be a very sudden boom
in property in that direction”- indicat
ing a near locality to the recent discov
ery. It also seems that several men of
money have recently been trying to pur
chase land lying in that direction,
and one piece of property which
a short time ago was offered
at SSO per acre is now held at SIOO.
Among those who hold property in that
neighborhood may be mentioned J. W.
Bass, Bigelow, Flandrau & Clark, H, 8.
Fairchild, and others equally prominent.
A significant fact in this connection is
the late very large increase in the capi
tal stock of the St. Paul Harvester
Works Company. This fact was one of
the chief topics of speculation and dis
cussion yesterday, some arguing that
the company had perfect faith in its dis
covery and proposed to work it at once,
while others took the view that the dis-
covery might possibly have been made
to assist the increase in the capital stock.
The first opinion, however, was the pre
vailing one. At any rate, a good deal of
excitement has been produced and “ex
planation” will be the order of things
from now out. In the meantime all of
the experts who have examined the spe
cimens discovered are convinced that a
vast body of highly magnetic and very
fine iron ore has been “struck,” and that
future developments will place St. Paul
within the important “iron producing
area” of the country. A recent test
proves something. A gentleman inter
ested found that while the variation of a
compass in the immediate vicinity of the
Merchants’ Hotel was 6 degrees, within
a less distance than three miles on a
line east of north the variation was more
than doubled. It is also asserted that
the dip of the needle at certain points
near the city is from 12 to 18 degrees—
proof positive of the existence of iron
deposits.
