THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 14,1882.
Robeson wants the ballot protected,
both at primaries and elections. Is the
Admiral going to reform?
The project of colonizing the Russian
Jews in Palestine has been revived. Ef
forts to locate them in this country have
failed.
Bismarck has again retired to recruit
from overwork. He will probably find
something for other people to do while
ostensibly recuperating.
Rev. Howard Crosby, the eminent hu
manitarian, thinks the attack on Cornell
a blow aimed at the Republican party.
It is to be hoped that the blow will hit
hard.
Ben Butler leads the delegation from
Loweli to the Massachusetts Democratic
Convention. Ben has traveled far since
1860, but has at last gotten back to his
starting point.
A “veteran politician” has furnished
a path which he declares perfectly re
liable, showing the political complexion
of the Forty-eighth Congress. He gives
the Democrats a majority over all of
thirty-three.
The best evidence that Maine was
bought is the fact that Blaine posted for
the West immediately after depositing
his ballot. Had he not been assured of
success beforehand, ho would probably
have waited with interest for the returns.
The Philadelphia Press indulges the
hope that Uncle Luke Poland has
learned enough to keep out of steals.
From what is known of Uncle Luke, it
is safe to predict that when the Treasury
is to be “raked” he may be counted on
deck.
Major Phipps, the moral Superintend,
cnt of the Philadelphia poor house, who
got away with the roof, is lost. It hasn’t
occurred to the detectives to look for
him in Maine. It is possible that the
“Major” got in some fine work there on
Monday.
Major Phipps’ success in getting away
with the Philadelphia poor house roof
gives Admiral Robeson a “wrinkle.”
The Admiral gave up the Treasury
building as a bad job, but with Keifer
and the old gang to help him he may
tackle it again.
Hereafter, in England a wife without
a settlement will have full control of the
property, real and personal, which was
hers before marriage; also of her wed
ding gifts, her earnings, and her lega
cies. This is as good a bit of legisla
tion as England has enacted in many a
year.
The New York Times and Evening
Post advise Republicans in the Toledo,
Ohio, district to support Frank Hurd,
the uncompromising free-trader, as
against an avowed protectionist. Do
Messrs. Jones and Schurz wear wigs?
They apparently do not fear for their
scalps.
Life insurance is still popular in
Massachusetts. Last year’s mortality
record shows 7,882 death claims, amount
ing to 121,819,600, a considerable in
crease in both number and amount. The
life policies in force represent a total of
$1,211,710,964, with a reserve of over
$270,000,000.
It is announced that the Attorney
General will prosecute the Washington
Vritir for libel, for a scandalous charge
of having fraternized, while intoxicated,
with the star route defendants in a Wash
ington restaurant. Considering that the
jury was "fixed,” the libel was monu
mentally malicious.
Ex-Congressman Kinsella, editor of
the Brooklyn Eagle, will probably be the
anti-monopoly candidate for Governor of
New York. It is said Mr. Kinsella will
consent to run, provided a reasonable
hope is given that he will be readopted
as a “dark horse” by the Democrats at
their State Convention.
The Rutland (Vermont) Herald pre
dicts that Uncle Luke Poland will be
a leader in the next House. Uncle
Luke demonstrated long ago his qualifi
cations for leading the “grand Old party,”
but somehow or other five thousand Re
publicans in his district, the other day,
could not appreciate his ability.
When it came to choose between
Bruce’s principles and his big desk in
the Treasury Department, the desk won
Ahe toss, and he will talk for Chalmers
like a little man. He is, it is to be pre
sumed. ready now to declare that the
Fort Pillow yarn was only a bald fiction
gotten up for political purposes.
Amid all the disgraceful scenes of the
star route trials one figure stands out
prominently in honored contrast. It is
that of Judge Wylie. He has through
out shown a strong determination to
mete out justice to the offenders without
fear, favor or affection. A Washington
jury was too much for him, however.
Sir Garnet Wolseley yesterday cap
tured Tel el Kebir in twenty minutes,
and completely routed Arabi’s army,
which is flying, in a demoralized condi
tion, towards the Desert. It looks now
as if the General was going to make his
word good after all, and wind up Arabi
by the 15th. But he has only one more
day to do it in.
There is a disgusted Republican in
Massachusetts that rises to inform the
Boston Tra nseript that there are bosses
everywhere, and insists upon their over
throw. The gentleman is pretty nearly
correct, but Massachusetts is a bad field
for reform. The Plymouth Rock gentry
were fair specimens of the boss principle,
and their posterity have conspicuously
improved upon them.
Secretary Teller, who is out in Colo
rado, presumably looking after his Sena
torial chances, is exciting a good deal of
dissatisfaction by what is called his un
warranted interference in State politics,
lie is charged with having threatened
government employes in Denver with
dismissal in case they refused to work
for his interests, and the Denver Tri
bune declares that “Colorado’s Secretary
of the Interior has disgraced her by be
coming a ward beggar of votes in a sim
ple ward contest. ”
As usual on the opening of the cam
paign in New York, the Radical organs
are concerned as to the health of Mr.
jSamuel J. Tilden. A professed special
io the New York Evening Post yesterday
announced that be was dangerously ill
•with softening of the brain, when as a
3 natter of fact he was riding about the
t-treets of Yonkers in his usual health.
r rhe organs are entirely too solicitous for
his welfare. They probably suspect him
■ f designs upon the Governorship of
New York.
Why Should Not the Negro he
Wholly Free?
The one great boast of the Radical
party is that it freed the negro and gave
him the ballot, or as Ingersoll puls it
“turned the hut of the slave into the
castle of the freeman.” This sounds
pretty enough, but unfortunately it is
untrue. The Southern black was freed,
not through the inclination of Radi
calism, but through the necessity of
war. The Republican party never as a
party declared in favor of emancipation.
Its platforms of 1856 and ’6O contained
no demand for it. Its avowed policy
was only the prevention of the extension
of slavery, and though Lincoln at a
stroke of his pen set the slaves free,
he did so not so much because he fa
vored freedom as because of the expec
tation that thereby the Confederacy
would be dealt a mortal blow. He did
not and could not justify his action upon
any other plea than necessity. Had the
South remained in the Union the negro
would have remained as he was, and
whatever causes contributed to bring
about his freedom the Confederacy was
the primary cause.
So, too, with negro suffrage. As late
as 1865 Oliver P. Morton and John A.
Andrew, the “war Governors” of In
diana and Massachusetts, respectively
declared against enfranchising the freed
men. Their arguments were convincing,
but when the party found its war
record capital diminishing it put the
ballot in the freedman’s hand as a meas
ure of political necessity. Upon what
basis then rests the claim that the colored
citizen should feel gratitude toward Radi
calism?
It is held orthodox at the North that a
workingman should surrender his politi
cal convictions in deference to the judg
ment or wishes of his employer. If this
applies to the white man of the North,
why not to the black man of the South?
But beyond this the Radical party is
committed to high taxation and extrava
gance. Has not the colored citizen
an equal interest with the white
in economical government? Can
he be reasonably expected to be willing
to pay high taxes on the property he
secures, the food he eats and the raiment
he wears to show his gratitude to a party
which hypocritically claims to have con
ferred benefits upon him without a view
to self-interest ? The Radical party to-day
simply regards the negro in the South
as an instrument to be used for the
benefit of every sorehead that knocks at
the door of the White House for sup
port, and with only a right to vote as his
political bosses direct. Wherein then
is he truly free?
It is time for the colored voter to ques
tion himself. His freedom and his civil
rights are secure and will not be dis
tuibed, but politically he is a conscript
and not a volunteer. Citizenship does
not call for the blind support of particu
lar men or a particular party, and no
citizen, white or black, is true to his
manhood who yields to the dictation of
any man or set of men. Nearly
two-thirds of the educated peo
ple of this country believe in the wis
dom of Democracy, and as the negro
advances in intelligence he will do like
wise. This is already shown by the
course of the New York Globe (colored
organ), the ablest exponent of negro
thought in the country. Says that paper
in a recent editorial:
“In Pennsylvania, as the case will ul
timately be in all the Northern and Mid
dle States, the colored people will divide
into two classes. The intelligent and pro
gressive class will side with men who
rise up to defend their rights and pro
perty, while the slaves of vice, and those
who eat the bread of the haughty bosses,
will oppose their strength, as is natural.
This has been true of all times, in all
governments, and with all classes. Here
tofore our strength has been thrown all
on one side, without questioning the
honesty or corruption of parties and
partisan leaders, but that time has past,
forever past. Henceforth the thoughtful
colored men will go their way, and the
thoughtless and handicapped colored
men will go as they are directed by their
vile and unscrupulous masters.”
These are true words, and time will
vindicate them. There are bosses that
can be admired for their daring, their
ability and their respectability. But the
men who boss the Southern negro in
the interest of Radicalism are, as a rule,
hired instruments that cajole, bribe or
bully, accordingly as occasion may re
quire. To such bossism no free man
who feels a spark of self-respect can
tamely submit.
The yellow fever still seems to be
spreading in Pensacola, and each day its
work of death increases. We regret to
read that the relief committee of the
Young Men’s Christian Association are
greatly embarrassed in their efforts to
give relief to the sick because of lack of
funds, and the slowness of the responses
to their call for assistance. Surely those
who have, like the people of this city,
been blessed with exemption from the
dread rcourge, and enjoy excellent
health, will not allow the fever stricken
sufferers to appeal to them in vain.
They have always responded most
liberally to such calls heretofore, and we
feel confident that all that is needed to
secure a similar response now is to have
their attention called to the unfortunate
condition of the city on the Gulf.
We call special attention to the appeal
elsewhere published for contributions in
this city to the fund for a monument to
Georgia's deceased Senator, Hon. B. H.
Hill. Money for this purpose should be
given with no niggardly hand. Mr. Hill
in his lifetime reflected brilliant honor
upon his State, and now his fellow citi
zens, without regard to section or locali
ty, should see to it that a monument
worthy of his name, fame and public
services should mark his last resting
place. It is proposed to erect a shaft to
his memory which will cost about
$25,000. We hope Savannah will freely
contribute her share to so commendable
an undertaking.
Mr. J. C. Delaney, who wanted to buy
thirty thousand Irish voters for Cameron,
is State Librarian of Pennsylvania. He
has written a reply to the exposure of
his scheme by Col. McClure, in which he
admits that the letters written by Con
don and himseif were written to a third
person, who betrayed them. He also
confesses that they were working for the
success of the Republican ticket, but not
in any corrupt way. Of course not.
Your average modern Republican doesn’t
look upon the bribery of voters as cor
ruption. He believes that on the princi
ple that all is fair in love, war and poli
tics, it is all right.
The mules now shipping from New
York for the British army in Egypt are
nearly all from Missouri. They range
from five to nine years of age, and are
from fourteen to fifteen hands high.
The British military agent charged with
their inspection and purchase is reported
as saying that they are “the finest ani
mals of that kind he ever saw.”
Conkling has hired an office in Wall
street in the same building with his
friend Grant. Pretty soon the half
breed organs will declare that he is run
ning a “blind pool.”
Baying Irish Votes.
The statement which we published
yesterday morning from Col. A. K. Mc-
Clure, of the Philadelphia Times, is cer
tainly a remarkable document. It is in
effect that on or about the sth of June
last one Mr. John C. Delaney, “who has
long been known as a dealer in Irish
votes,” appeared in Washington, and
attempted, through certain so-called
Irish leaders, who hold places under the
government, to purchase 30,000 Irish
votes in Pennsylvania for the Cameron
ticket. That this statement of Colonel
McClure is true there is no room
far doubt, for he not only boldly
gives interviews and dates with
strict attention to details, but he like
wise incloses photographs of letters in
his possession written by Delaney in
regard to the purchase and sale of the
Irish-American voters whose support he
eraves for the party of spoils and bossism
in the Keystone State. Nor is this all,
but Colonel McClure goes even further
and declares that the Assistant Secretary
of the Interior Department, New, ap
pointed one of the conspirators in the
selling pool to an important Federal
office, so that he could travel about and
arrange for the delivery of the votes, at
the public expense.
Thus is developed one of the most
shameless and flagrant efforts at wholesale
bribery and corruption which even this
degenerate age has ever witnessed, and
it is simply a grievous insult to all the
Irish-American citizens of the United
States. It implies that the Irish voters
of the State of Pennsylvania are so many
corrupt machines, devoid of all principle
and ready to sell themselves out body
and soul to the highest bidder. No
greater stigma could be cast upon any
citizen of this Republic.
That these efforts will recoil upon the
party guilty of making them is a well
nigh foregone conclusion. Heretofore,
as a rule, our Irish fellow citizens have
been actuated in their political course
purely through principle and conviction.
In some few cases, as in the Tammany
Hall faction of New York for instance,
they have, it is true, permitted John
Kelly to lead them by the nose, and
make them instruments for defeating
the Democracy of the State. Still they
have generally recognized the great ser
vices which the Democratic party per
formed for the foreign-born citizens of
the country in the old Know Nothing
days, when the native American party
swept everything before it, until it re
ceived its death stroke at the hands of
the Democratic hosts of Virginia,
under the leadership of Governor
Wise. For this reason they have
for the most part remained steadfast and
true to the Democratic party, and now
for the Radicals of the country to think
they can purchase Irish votes by whole
sale, and seduce them with money from
their allegiance to the party with which
they have been always identified, is not
only a disgrace to the party of corrup
tion, but a reflection upon the honor of
our Irish fellow citizens which should
not be, and we believe will not be,
tolerated.
This shameless scheme to prostitute
the Irish vote of Pennsylvania is, how
ever, but in keeping with the programme
of the administration to hubbellize the
country and purchase Congressional
seats in the South. It seems to be the
ruling idea of the Radical party that all
virtue has departed from the American
people, and that the elective franchise is
simply a thing which can be bought and
sold like any other commodity. Hubbell’s
large corruption fund has been accumu
lated with this idea boldly announced,
for he has openly stated that only on
bribery can the “grand old party” rely
for further existence. The people of
the country will, it is to be
hoped, rebuke with indignant em
phasis this intimation that their
principles are nothing, and that they are
ready to sell themselves and their politi
cal freedom to become the bondsmen
and serfs of Radicalism. But even if
the masses throughout the land should
justify Hubbell’s low opinion of their
virtue, at least let the honest Irish voters
of the country and the Southern people
show that they are proof against politi
cal prostitution, and that they regard all
efforts to purchase them as grave insults
demanding emphatic resentment.
The New York Commercial Bulletin
think 9 that while there have been a good
many excessively modest people before
the Tariff Commission since it com
menced its labors, the palm belongs to
the plate glass manufacturer of New
Albany, Indiana, who thought he could
get along if the tariff on the foreign
product was raised to about 112 per
cent. He said, “the cost of labor here
was about twice as much as in England,
and four times as much as in Belgium. ”
Says the Bulletin : “It would be strange
if it were otherwise. The American
laborer must nave window glass (as well
as other highly protected products) even
if he live in a wretched tenement house
(as bad as anything in pauperized Eu
roi>e); and if he is taxed 112 per cent,
for what he must buy, he cannot be ex
pected to work as cheap as the laborer
in countries where no such tax is im
posed. Sweep away protection, and the
price of labor, by a natural process, will
recede to a level which will not only
benefit the manufacturer, by extending
his markets, but the laborer also, by
reaping the advantages of low prices to
consumers at home and the large demand
for the products of his industry abroad.”
Apropos of the demand of certain
pottery manufacturers at Cincinnati for
higher duties on earthenware the Com
menial, of that city, publishes an in
voice of au importation by H. F. West,
Bro. & Cos., of eleven packages of English
earthenware, the bill of lading being
dated July 2, 1882. The cost of the
goods at the place of manufacture in
England was $2.200 02. The cost in
Cincinnati, including duties, freight
charges, etc., was $4,015 00, showing a
protection to the Ohio river potteries of
109$ per cent. This, the Commercial
thinks, ought to satisfy gluttony itself,
especially in view of the fact that the
highest rates of duty are on the lower
grades of ware, and therefore especially
oppressive to the poorer classes.
Clay was a wise man, but if he could
have known how feeble our industries
would be, after so many years of nursing,
he probably would have rearranged his
ideas on tariff.
Bolting seems to be chronic with our
Republican friends, as will be seen by
the report of the proceedings of the Re
publican Convention, held in this city
yesterday. The straightouts placed in
nomination for defeat by Col. Niche is
would-be Judge James Atkins, while t ie
bolters thought that to make sure defeat
doubly sure they would run Mr. T. P.
Johnson against him It is very prt’ y
quarrel, and our advice to each of tae
two factions is, never surrender. Fight
it out on that line, if it takes all fall.
But what a pity there are not enough
offices to secure harmony in the party?
Such constant fighting over the spoils is
very disgusting.
GENERAL NOTE®.
Miss Lucy Stone, of woman suffrage
fame, Is not a maiden lady, for she is the
wife of Prof. Henry B. Blackwell,of Boston.
She does not believe in a wife taking her
husband’s name.
The Tecumseh (Ala.) iron furnace lately
blew out, after continuing in blast over
seven years. This is said to be the longest
continuous blast ever made by any furnace
in the United States.
The “bogus-dispatch” swindle has been
worked successfully in Philadelphia for a
day or two past, the offender writing dis
patches and charging forty cents each on
delivery. It is almost as mean a system of
thieving as that of robbing paupers.
Colonel Leonidas C. Campbell, one of the
first citizens of Vicksburg, MIS 6., and one
of the most successful planters in the Mis
sissippi valley, is dead. He was a Missou
rian by birth, and served under General
Price in the Confederate army, where he rose
to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
An iron-worker at Pittsburg, who was
arrested for stealing potatoes, or cabbage*
pleaded that he was driven to it because his
large family were starving, and the strikers
would not let him work. The charge was
withdrawn and a purse was made up for the
poor maa, whose story proved to be strictly
true.
Everybody will be interested in a recent
decision by the Post Office Department. A
6tamp cut in quarters was affixed to a letter
which the Postmaster of the office where it
was mailed refused to send. An appeal to
Washington resulted in the approval of the
Postmaster’s action, and the epistle went to
the Dead Letter office.
The manufacturers of 6teel rails in Eng
land met on Saturday to form an associa
tion to keep up the prices of their rails.
America is about the best customer, and
this action may have a tendency to discour
age the use of steel rails in this country.
Between the foreign combination and the
domestic duty steel rails in America bid
fair to be ranked among the luxuries.—
Philadelphia Jit cord.
The ice dealers in some sections have held
back their stock in order to keep up the
price. Now that cool weather is coming
they are afraid they cannot work off the
surplus. Philadelphia has a glut of ice, and
on Saturday twenty-one vessels loaded with
ice lay at the wharves, unable to find stor
age. One Captain pitched his cargo of 700
tons overboard, rather than wait to get rid
of it otherwise.
Jesse James’ body lies a mouldering in
the grave, but his gang goes robbing on.
Another stage coach robbery is reported
from Arkansas, and, as the passengers
turned their pockets inside out at the re
quest of two highwaymen, it is probable
that the appearance of the latter was just
as effectual in suppressing any desire the
passengers may have had to resist as if
Jesse James’ ghost had superintended the
job.
Mr. Charles Stewart Parnell, M. P., writes
to Mr. John J. Nolan, of Philadelphia, his
reaeons for declining the proposition to re
move the remains of Miss Fannie Parnell to
Ireland. He states that a public funeral in
Ireland, at this time, would be most painful
to the feelings of her sisters, and would
open wide a wound that has not vet com
menced to close. The Irish leader returns
his thanks to the Central Union Land
League, of Philadelphia,
Evidence about the working of prohibi
tion in Maine is conflicting. For example,
a gentleman who was in Portland last week
between trains saw within half an hour’s
time and the area of a city block these oc
currences: A barrel of ale, the sale of
which is illegal, rolled into a saloon, an offi
cer being around the corner at the time; a
well dressed man crazy drunk fighting with
a hackman, in the presence of a crowd; two
men behind a door in the railroad station
drinkit:g from a bottle. All this happened
in Mr. Neal Dow’s city in the afternoon, and
none of the bysanders 6eemed to regard
the affair as a novelty.
College expenses, a subject of some in
terest now that colleges are opening, are
summed up by the statistics of the class
wL-ich graduated at Tale last June as aver
aging $3,901, distributed between Freshman
year, $867; sophomore, $923; junior, $1,048,
and senior, $1,063. The class in which this
high average was reached, not high for
Ysle, however, contributed $lO 000 to the
athletic interests of the college. At Brown,
the average annual expenses were only
$450, which is more reasonable, and, out
side of Yale and Harvard, two of the most,
expensive colleges in the country, from SSOO
to S6OO a year, or $2,000 to $2,500 for the
course, is probably a fair average.
In Manitoba the farmers grow twenty
bushels of wheat to the acre, and a bushel
of It weighs sixty-three to sixty six pounds.
This is better than the Minnesota yield,
both in quantity and quality. The average
in Minnesota is seventeen bushels to the
acre and the weight sixty to sixty-five
pounds per bushel. The superior quality
of the Manitoba wheat is partly ascribed
to the soil, but chiedy to the amount of so
lar light enjoyed In a country where the day
Is two hours longer in the height of sum
mer than It Is In Pennsylvania. The summer
docs not last very long in Manitoba, but
while it stays the fruitful earth does Its
prettiest. Wheat and barley and the grass
crops fairly leap from the sod as the ground
gets warm.
Quite a sensation was created at a circus
at Marquette, Mich., last week. In the act
where a circus rider, disguised as a drunken
tramp, falls into the ring and wants to ride
a horse, the ringmaster threw the drunkard
out, and with much seeming Indignation
atked why there were no policemen around
to keep order. A policeman who was stand
ing by, and who knew the man belonged to
the circus, felt indignant at having the police
abused, so he took the alleged drunken
man, and, notwithstanding the circus peo
ple tried to explain the circumstances, he
was hurried to the lock-up and the act was
left out. After the show the proprietor got
the performer out and abused the policeman
for being so officious.
The English anti-slavery men are not
satisfied with the convention concluded be
tween Great Britain and the Shah of Persia
with reference to the slave' trade. It is
found that by this agreement it will be pos
sible for the owners of slaves to obtain a
certificate from a British Consul and take
his slaves to the mart in Mecca, on pretence
of a pilgrimage. Then he may return with
an equal number from the market, and he
will not be required to prove their identity.
Thus, at a profit, the owner mav exchange
the naturalized slaves for blacks brought
there through the slave hunts of the Soudan,
thousands coming to Mecca through Judda
and other Red Sea ports. This matter will
be called up in Parliament, and also the ex
istence of slavery in Hong Kong.
Louis, the handsome but eccentric young
King of Bavaria, cannot, as i6 well known,
endure to attend a play or opera unless he
alone constitutes the entire audience. A
short time ago he was indulging this strange
taste at the Court Theatre, Munich, when
he feel asleep in the midst of the play. Here
was a dilemma. The plav could not go on
with the audience asleep, and nobody dared
rouse him, nor dared the actors for'a mo
ment leave their places, for fear of his dis
pleasure, should he chance to awake sud
denly. One impatient actress threw a chair
across the 6tage with a crash, and an actor
repeated several lines in his part in sten
torian tones; but still the King slept or.
Thus everything was at a standsTl for ev
tral hours, until, next rr.orH g, ■he King
awoke, and the wearied t c ors Sol-bed the
play just in time for breakfast.
The colors that are new this season show
the faded shades that are supposed to be
peculiar to tapestry, and It is the whim to
call these new colors old; there is old rose,
which is a faded pink; old green, which is a
decided “greenery yallerv,” and the old
Sevres blue. Ficelle shades are very popu
lar, aod are 6een in great variety. These
and other light gray-brown shades are seen
in contrast with every color, and are parti
cularly stylish with rifle green and golden
brown. Telegraph blue is like the blue
telegraph paper used in France, and it is
also known as electric blue. Cbaiadun or
copper red is the most elegant shade or red,
but there is also Sultan poppy, grenat and
wine colors. Reseda, the queen of mignon
ette, is again revived, as are all the steel
and silver grays Sfox is anew terracotta
color, and there are several shades of this
brownish red shown. Among the popular
blues are hussar, chasseur, sapphire, and
the almost black midshipman.
The oil speculators of Northwestern Penn
sylvania are excited over the discovery of
yet another oil field. It is situated in Ve
nango county about seven miles south of
Oil City, near the small village of Cran
berry. The field is suspected to be a small
one as most of the territory has already
been tested. Yet preparations are making
for the construction of the ueuil- oil town.
The Western Union Telegraph Company has
already opened an office on the spot, and
the Buffalo, Pittsburg and Western Railroad
Intends to extend one of its branch lines to
the place. Far to the southwest, in Butler
county, a big oil well has also been opened.
In Forest county, dlrectlv south of the
Cherry Grove oil field in Warrencounty.it
is feared by holders of oil that anew oil
field has been discovered. At present the
production of oil is 100,000 barrels a day.
This is an over production, which has caused
the price of oil to fall and a loss to dealers
in oil of probably $25,000,000 since last
January.
Containing all the essentials of a true
tonic, and sure to glye satisfaction, is

NEW YORK NOTES.
A Daughter of the Nile—Laura Don’s
Wonderful Play—A Saturday Night at
Wallack’s—A Dynamite Drama-Green
Room Gentry on the Pave—Maggie
Mitchell’s Mistake-Langiry’s Rival.
New York, September 12.— There has been
no dramatic event so far this season that has
excited as much interest as the production of
Miss Laura Don’s comedy drama, “A Daughter
of the Nile,” at the Standard Theatre. This
young actress and authoress is a wonderful
woman. It is something to be a good actress,
and she is that; it is more to writea good play,
and she has done that. The average woman is
not so ambitious that she is not contented to
be one or the other—indeed most of them are
content with being beautiful Miss Don has
achieved distinction in still another field—that
of painting and decorations. Naturally, the
production of a drama from the pen of a wo-
man with all these gifts was awaited with
much curiosity. Besides, in it she was t > make
her first appearance as a star, although she has
had for some time an established reputation as
a clever comedienne. To give additional inter
est she organized her own company, deter
mined to act as her own manager, and made
the designs of the scenerv appointments
and sketches for wi”* how bills.
In the lobby of tb _ taco is also a large
painting cf hei seif reclining on a couch at
tired as an Egyptian Princess, which is the
work of her brush. I went to the theatre the
other evening to see this wonderful woman
and her play. The theatre was crowded. If I
may pause to remark it, the audience was bet
ter than you usually find at the Standard ex
cept when Gilbert & Sullivan’s inimitable op
eras are on. There were dandies and women
of fashion enough to give a dash of
—well, of that which is so dear to so many
hearts. General Sickles stumped in on his
crutch and cane before the curtain went up,
thereby creating a sensation. He has killed
his man.youknow. in a street affray. You could
see people all over the house whispering to
each other and looking over at him as if he
was some great lion. He is a well-fed man of
medium height, with a round, rosy face, and a
fierce moustache. Throughout the play he
watched the actors attentively, and chuckled
quietly when amused. In one of the upper
boxes on the left were two young women who
wore spectacles. They looked intellectual
enough to have come from Boston. In a lower
box was a great beauty, dressed in a tight-fit
ting grey gown. Once she stepped into the en
trance back of the box. and just then someone
was heard drawing a stopper.
Well, when the curtain went up there was a
prettv stage picture to look at. It repre
snted a scene on the banks of the Hudson.
During the first act Miss Don played the part
of a rural Cinderella. She -was here a very
brivht and unsophisticated country maiden.
One of her characteristics was an aptitude at
sketching with charcoal, and she was ambi
tious to become an artist. The cruelty of her
relatives had reduced her to the condition of
an upper servant, and she could not aspire be
yond making pumpkin pies and wearing calico
gowns. Miss Don introduced some by-play in
the first ect that was highly amusing, such as
cutting out paper images of people she did not
like, and then chopping them up by inches
with snaps of her scissors. She cannot be said
to be a beauty, but she has a strikingly intelli
gent face. As the play moves along, she be
comes an Egyptian Princess and lives in a
magnificent establishment in Paris, where she
has achieved fame as an artist. She had run
away from home because she thought her
lover (an English Lord in disguise) false to her.
Here she looked really beautiful, as
her features are of the Oriental type,
and her figure is commanding enough to ex
press dignity. A vivid picture of Parisian
fashionable life is here presented < One of the
acts was a melodramatic ending—no less than
the disappearance down a well of the rival
cousin, pushed over the brink by the Princess.
To be in a position to do this the heroine puts
on a mask and passes as a statue in a garden.
This is a very ingenious device and one of the
chief novelties of the piece. A scene in a
garret follows, whither the Princess dees to
secrete h: rseif. Thinking she has committed
murder she becomes mad, and here Miss Don
shows talent for tragedy. She marries the
English lord at last in the old Hudson farm.
One of the best qualities of the play is its fine
language. I have merely indicated some of
the features here. It has been pronounced a
success. Oscar Wilde has written the authoress
a letter, in which he pronounces the drama
brilliantly written, and speaks of her acting as
artistic and sensitive. Tnat our friend Oscar
Wilde says so does not make it so, but the
critics have all expressed a favorable opinion,
aDd what is more conclusive still, private opin
ion is favorable. How one woman can achieve
so much is a question for philosophers to pon
der.
I have before referred to the usurpation of
the New York stage by the meio'rsma. On
Saturday night Wallack’s Theatre—which, by
the way, we used to point to with pride ss a
playhouse devotd to the intellectual drama;
but alasl those days are gone by—was opened
with another melodrama, making seven in all
that burn and howl their way through every
night. 1 ester Wallack's new play is called
“Taken from Life.” The opening perform
ance attracted a large and brilliant audience;
for, notwithstanding the fact that melodrama
has displaced fine old English comedy, an
opening at this theatre is still a social event.
There were scores of pretty women in the
boxes and the orchestra chairs, dressed as if
for a reception or ball room and shini-g with
diamonds. Their escorts wer* in the glory of
expansive shirt fronts and swallow-tail coats.
There is no place I know of where the dandy
has a better opportunity to plume himself than
at the theatre. When he saunters in with his
opera hat crushed under one arm and his lady
on the other arm he is conspicuous. He likes
to be stared at In the way he is by those
already in the house. v His breast swells with
pride until it makes his glistening shirt front
crackle as he sees that opera glasses are
brought to bear upon him from all parts of the
auditorium. How proud he is of the creature
on his arm—lf she is pretty! Between the acts
he strolls through the lobbies, smoking opera
puffs and talking to any acquaintances of his
club he may chance to meet. He de
lights in being a “swell,” and when
strangers in the city stare at him in
wonderment lie puts down their curi
osity for admiration. One of his diversions is
to carry on a sly flirtation with ladles in the
boxes while the play is goiug on, of which ma
noeuvring his companion is unconscious, so sly
is he. To me, the shows to be seen in front of
the footlights are as interesting as the perform-
ance behind them.
The story of “Taken from Life” deals with
the fort mes of a poor artist, who has had a
hard time of it. He is accused of murder by a
villain who loves his wife and consigned to
prison, from which he is finally released by an
explosion of dynamite under the prison wall.
This is enough to indicate the character of the
piece, which is largely dependent on scenery
and stage carpentry. The Invisible nan who
attends to the explosion does his work well
Loud applause greeted the explosion on Satur
day night, and in justice the dynamite
man should have appeared before the cur
tain, torch in hand, and bowed his ac
knowledgments. But he didn't. Perhaps his
face and hands were too black. The leading
actors appeared, however, smiling and bow
ing, and nobody cou and tell why. for they hid
nothing to do with the mechanism that
worked so admirably Several new actors and
actresses were introduced to the New York
public in this play—ail of them English im
portations So far as the scope of the piece af
forded them opportunity to display their ca
pabilities; they made a favorable impression.
Miss Hose Coghlan, who has been retained as
leading lady, was warmly greeted. She did
not have an opportunity in the midst of the
rubbish to show her art, but she looked beau
tiful . Bhe always does.
There is a strong likelihood that a theatrical
club will be organized in New York with the
Garrick Club of London as its model Such a
club is very much needed here, as there is ab
solutely no headquarters for theatrical peo
ple except the sidewalk in frontof the Union
Square Theatre. This rendezvous has become
famous almost from the extraordinary scenes
it constantly presents, and the establishment
of a club would be a blessing, if for no other
reason than that it would serve to draw the
crowd of theatrical men In doors and away
from the publ c eye. They stand on this
sidewalk all day long waiting for "jobs,” or
chatting with “the boys,” and sta-ing at the
ladies, while the great crowds that pres3 up
and down Broadway stare at them and try to
recognize their faces. The sidewalk is wide
enough to accommodate several hundred of
them. They dress in as many different styles
as there are men, and in various degrees of
richness, from the successful star in the most
expensive clothes, with diamonds glittering all
over his shirt front, to the round-shouldered
and ragged “super,” who looks hungry and for
lorn. Many of them are dressed like carica
tfffes of men. I saw two of them yesterday
walking back and forth with great self-satis
faction and complacency, ogling the ladies
vigorously and talking in loud voices. One was
clad in a suit of checked clothes,
with huge yellow and black squares,
and black braid on the edges. The coat was
absurdly short, and the trousers cut-so tight to
the leg that they wrinkled when he bent his
knee. A huge standing collar and voluminous
cuffs could be seen for blocks, so conspicuous
were the red and white spots on them, and the
tops of iiis shoes were of lavender cloth. Of
course he wore rings, smoked a strong cigar
and wore his beaver hat over his left eye. His
companion was dressed in a suit of startling
blue, as light as a woman’s bait cos
tume, with blue and white striped collar
and cuffs and a scarlet necktie His shoes
were of white duck and patent leather.and he
carried a cane with a big gold head. When I
add that these two gentlemen looked hungry,
were unshaven and had holes in their shoes
and trousers, you will understand that they
presented a striking appearance. They were
two song and dance men of the variety theatre
order, and they were waiting for employment.
On all sides were men looking almost as gro
tesque as these two; some with long hair
and black suits, and others with clean
shaven faces and closely clipped hair. All
had the same pronounced “professional” look,
and every man talked loudly and with studied
gestures, Asa natural result this throng of
men attracts attention, and people stop and
stare and mutter, ‘ They are actorsthen
they look again and the invariable thought is:
“Dear me, how hungry they look.” The exhi
bition of actors on Union square is certainly
not one to reflect credit on the profession, and
the sooner they are housed within a respect
able club the better for the good name of the
t faggie Mitchell’S new play, “Elsa,” has
proved a failure and she has withdrawn it after
playing it for one week. Bhe has many friends
here who have gone to see her in her juve
nile impersonations for the last twenty years.
Naturally she finds it more difficult to play
such characters than she did when she was a
young girl in her teens Her new play was
written for her, but it made demands which
she was not equal to. In the first acts she had
to be exceedingly juvenile, but she did not suc
ceed in looking young even by wearing a yel
low wig. She danced, however, with spright
liness and grace. Later in the play she was
required to give exhibitions of strength, and to
see her make the attempt with her lithe little
body and weak arms, made you laugh to the
crying point. Yet Maggie Mitchell told me at
the last rehearsal before the production
of the play that she had never had a
piece before th“ success of which she
was so confident of. The character, she said,
was exactly suited to her. All of this goes to
show that oue cannot always judge themselves
aright. Miss Mitchell in this e ' ergency has
fallen back on one of her old impersonations,
and will appear in "Jane Eyre” this week.
This is a relief. It is certainly depressing to
see a nice little woman about whom there has
never been a breath of scaudal and who has
undoubted dramatic ability tryiug to play the
part of a heroine who has brawny arms and a
stout waist. .. .
An enterprising gentleman by the name of
Levy has evolved a brilliant scheme, by which
he hopes to render the American tour of the
beautiful Mrs. Langtry less of a success than
her manager anticipates. This he proposes to
do by running a rival attraction in
the person of a beautiful young
lady from Philadelphia. The. fair
Philadelphian is already half famous. Mil
lions ana millions of her portraits are distrib
utee through America, and her manager
counts on this fact strongly. She was the
original from whom the portrait of the God
dess of Liberty was taken for the Bland dollar
issued a few years ago from the Philadelphia
mint. She is very beautiful, as you will see If
you take a dollar out of your pocket and look
at her face and bust, and will make a powerful
native opposition to Langtry.

SHIPWRECK! TERRIBLE LOSS OF LIFE!I
Mother and daughtw go down together. A loraly maiden leap* into eternity! Wires and husband*,
eons and daughters are wrecked and loet. Many sad hearts are left to mourn the losa. A husband loci
his wife and daughter, a young man loet his betrothed.
A contemplation of these horrible “ wrecks” work wonderfully npon the mind. The thought makes
one foe! sad. The strain upon delicate female nerves is too great. A married lady of onr acquaintance
was ao wrought upon mentally that she became low-spirited and sad, lost her apoetite, refused food, be
came foeble and emaciated, nervous and fretful. Her friends insisted that she should not think of these
wrecas so much, but she insisted that she was sick in reality, and took her bed. She sood had aches
ana rains, and worked herself into a net-work of female troubles, which eventually ended in chronic
lumitlc weaknesses and excesses and death.
Another caee in point was that of a young lady. She had lost a friend and soon became melancholy
and nervous, could not sleep soundly, her memory began to fail her, she lost all desire for companv, her
rrain lost its brilliancy, her eye its luster, her cheeks became pale, complained of constant headache, and
rrZ a ViC^m * list of female troubles, hysterics, palpitations, delirium, convulsions, and death.
a hese cases are of every day occurrence, and these “ wrecks ” upon female society are frightful. They
flhould be remedied, and there is a remedy within the reach of all, and it ia your duty to apply it.
No one need complain, for dr. dn mgoole’a english femalo bitters will cure all such. A book is pub
lished giving details of all these " wrecks.” Send your name to j. p. dromgoolo and co . iouisville, ky.,
