Now children are being boycotted by
the tenement house landlords in New
York. A family with one small child
finds it difficult to secure desirable lodg

harder work still to procure a tenement,
while those with three children find it all
but impossible, and generally have to nut
up with inferior accommodations. AVbile
the semi-pbilanthropi6ts of that city are
assisting Mr. Felix Adler in the improve
ment of" tenement houses, they might do
well to inaugurate the building of tene
ments to be occupied exclusively by fami
lies with children, with school and play
rooms attached. It won’t do to discour
age our infantile industries.
Mr. William Jones, the other man who
shot at Gniteau, has been heard from at
last. His case was called in the Criminal
Court Wednesday at Washington and set
for trial on the 28th inst. Jones appears
to have had much better luck in 6ome
respects than Sergeant Mason. The in
dictment against him for assault with
intent to kill was found over two years
ago, and the trial has lieen continued
until the only direct witness against him
Is said to be dead, and hence the proba
bility is that he will be acquitted with
out much trouble. Doubtless the only
thing that troubles Jones about the case
is that it does not give him sufficient
notoriety to enable him to get a good
situatiou in a dime museum.
Southern Manufacturers and. Inci
dental Protection.
On Thursday there was a large meeting
of owners of Southern cotton mills at Au
gusta. A resolution was adopted favor
ing a reduction in the production of cotton
yarn and cloth. Somebody, it seems,
took the trouble to interview those pres
ent with respect to their tariff views and
found, so It was reported, that a majority
of them favored the Ohio idea, that is, a
tariff for revenue with incidental protec
tion. The Ohio idea really means noth
ing. It is a mere jingle of words. The
interviewer at Augusta was doubtless a
protectionist. Southern manufacturers
who cannot find a market for their goods
jtnd who are compelled to curtail produc
tion ought not to be asking for incidental,
or any other kind "of protection.
Protection is wbat confines them
to a home market. The home market is
overstocked. The mills must partially,
or wholly, shut down until the stocks on
hand are reduced. If it were not for
protection our Southern mills would tie
increasing their production instead of
curtailing it. This is the view undoubt
edly entertained by leading Southern
manufacturers. In support of this view
the letter of President Young, of the Eagle
and I’hienix mills, at Columbus, to Con
gressman Buchanan has been frequently
quoted. Mr. Herring, a Georgia mill
owner, i9 also quoted in support of the
same view. Those of the Southern manu
facturers who have made a 6tudy of
the tariff question, so far as it relates to
their business, know that the Ohio idea
promises no benefit to them. Mr. Ran
dall and his school of Democrats claim
to favor the Ohio idea, but it is worthy of
notice that they are not in favor of reduc
ing the present tariff. Mr. Randall fought
reduction iu the Jast Congress and he is
fighting it in this. Incidental protection
is simply a cover for maintaining the
present war tariff. If Southern manu
facturers are wise they will give it no
support. What they want is a tariff that
will permit tnem to manufacture their
cotton as cheaply as possible. A tariff
of that kind will give them control of the
markets of the world for cotton goods.
Intimidation Among Negroes.
A fact that continually crops out in the
Danville investigation is the hostility of
the negroes to those of their own race who
vote with, or show a disposition to vote
with the Democrats. Republican papers
have always claimed that white Republi
cans are ostracised in the South, and that
negroes are prevented from voting the
Republican ticket by intimidation. They
have been very careful, however, not to
draw attention to the practice of negro
leaders which keeps the negro vote almost
solidly Republican. Why more negroes
do not vote with those who employ and
befriend them has been the occasion of a
good deal of speculation in localities
where the influences which keep them in
the Republican ranks are not understood.
A negro who announces himself a Demo
crat mu6t have a good deal of moral
courage. The men of his own color
shun him and otherwise annoy him. The
negro women, under the direction of the
negro preachers, refuse to have anything
to do with him. He meets sneers and
jeers on every hand. Even his relatives
disown him. His life is made a burden
to him. If a negro wants to have peace
in his home and pleasant relations with
his acquaintances he is pretty certain to
remain in the Republican ranks. At no
time in the South was there ever such
bitter political prejudice against white
Republicans, as there has always been,and
is now. on the part of negroes against
Democratic negroes. In the Danville in
vestigation last Wednesday one of the wit
nesses stated that negro women were ad
vised to leave their husbands if they voted
the Democratic ticket, and threats of
banging were made against Democratic
negroes. Would it not be well for the
Northern Republican journals to give this
matter a little attention. They are al
ways hunting for texts on which to
preach sermons against intimidation, and
if they are sincere they w-ill give their
negro allies some good advice.
Ms-. Bliss’ Fees.
At last it has been found out what com
pensation George Bliss, of star route,
fame, received from the government. Ac
cording to his, testimony before the
Springer committee he received SIOO a
day and expenses. The entire amount
was $59,.>52. That is a pretty big sum of
money to earn in a professional way in a
lew months. It is not improbable that
Mr. Bliss’ professional earnings up to the
time of his employment by the govern
ment did not amount to much more. He
is not a great lawyer, and has never
figured in big cases. He thinks SIOO a
day, however, a small fee, and says that
tiefore he became a government counsel
he never left the city for less than that
amount. That may be very true, but
there is a great difference between
getting that pay for a day,
or even a week, and getting
it every day. Sundays included, for nearly
two years. Mr. Bliss claims to have done
a largo amount of work, hut the results
were very unimportant. He said in his
testimony that he only succeeded, with
the aid of the Attorney General and two
other high-priced lawyers, in convicting
two of the star route defendants, and
they were not punished because the ver
dict was contrary to justice and common
sense. Mr. Bliss is out of the cases now.
He ought to, and perhaps does, feel very
grateful to Dorsey, Brady and other mem
bers of the stir route ring for having
afforded him an opportunity to make a
good sized fortuue in less than two years.
When honest old farmers all over the
country read that Mr. Bliss was paid for
each week’s work more than they can get
from their farms in a year they will be
apt to think that this extravagant Repub
lican party has been in power long
enough.
It is said that Blaine cannot carry New
York, and that, therefore, he cannot
possibly get the Presidential nomination
of his party. However that may be, it is
certain that iiis popularity is showing
itself in a marked degree at present.
Every possible means is being employed
to advance his prospects and increase his
strength. He ih now given the credit of
having secured the adoption of the tariff"
bill last Congress. The following, which
undoubtedly contains some truth, has
been sffnt out by his friends: “The fact
has now been ascertained that
Mr. Blaine saved the tariff hill ol the last
Congress. Ex-Speaker Keifer at the close
of the session meditated an unprecedented
ruling which would send the conference
report to the committee of the whole, and
this at that stage would have been sure
defeat. Mr. Blaine was opposed to the
bill as it passed the Senate, thinking it
did great injustice to the wool interest of
Ohio, but after the action of the confer
ence committee he was for the adop
tion of the measure as then reported;
knowing it was all that could be
secured at that session, and believing
that it would give peace and stability
to the business enterprises of the
country for two years at least. The large
manufacturing interests took the same
view of the measure, and vvheu it was
rumored that Speaker Keifer was con
sidering the defeat of the bill, Mr. Blaine
was urged if possible to persuade him
from such a course. This he promptly
did, and by showing Keifer that the rul
ing whicli he was considering would be
without precedent; that no Speaker had
ever thus attempted to set aside a con
ference report, and that, indeed, on the
whole the business interests of the coun
try would be better served by the passage
of the amended bill than by its defeat, he
persuaded that gentleman to recon
sider his meditated ruling.” Blaine
may deny that he is a candidate,
but it is nevertheless true that a very
skillful and vigorous campaign is being
conducted in the interest ot his nomina
tion. ;
It is now asserted that Judge Axtell, of
New Mexico, is by no means as bad a
man as has been charged. Mr. E. B.
Wiegand, Special Examiner of the De
partment of Justice, has testified before
the Springer committee that there is noth
ing against Judge Axtell’s integrity, but
that he is unfitted for the position he oc
cupies because of his “unjudicial”,
methods. The Judge would rather be con
sidered a fool than a knave.
Butler’s Plan.
The talk about the probability of Gen.
Benj. F. Butler being the nominee of the
Democratic party for the Presidency has
been almost abandoned, and only occa
sionally it is asserted that he will be a
delegate to the convention. It is probable,
however, that he has not altogether laid
aside bis ambition to pose as a Presiden
tial candidate, even if he has little hope
of winning the prize.
It is now positively asserted that Gen.
Butler has signified his willingness to ac
cept the nomination of the Greenback
Labor Convention which meet 9 at Indian
apolis on the 28th inst. It has transpired
that his last visit to New Y'ork was for
the purpose ot having a close conference
with ex-Congressnmn "Weaver of lowa,
President Logan of the Confederated
Trades Union, of Chicago, President
. Thurber, of the Anti-Monopoly League, of
New Y'ork, and Mr. Hopkins, of the
Sentry, the leading Greenback organ. It
is alleged that the question was squarely
put to Gen. Butler whether he would
accept the nomiration for President in
the event he should be the choice of the
Indianapolis Convention, and that his
reply was favorable.
It has been known for some time that
Gen. Butler believes that the late de
cision of the Supreme Court of the United
States on the legal tender question has
great "improved the status of the Green
back party, though he has no idea that it
will lie able alone to achieve a victory
and elect him to the Presidency, for his
schemes are no doubt more deeply laid
than that.
The £ew Y'ork conference suggests that
the plan will tie for the Greenbackers to
lead off with the Butler movement. Then
the anti-monopolists, who have their con
vention at Philadelphia, on the 14th of
May, will indorse it. The Labor Party
has its convention at Chicago on the 30th
of July, and it will be expected to fall
intoline.
Of course a grand idea will he to use
the support of these parties as levers to
influence the National Democratic Con
vention. It will be urged, probably, by a
strong lobby that with all this outside
support Butler is the only man that can
win.
This has been given as Butler’s plan,
but if he has any hope of getting the
Democratic nomination he might as well
abandon it at once. The national Demo
cratic party * not ready to eat such a
mebs of crow by a good deal.
The lawyer who defended Berner, the
murderer who was theoccasion of the riot
at Cincinnati, i9 known as Torn Campbell.
He is shrewd and unscrupulous with re
spect to the means which he employs to
help his clients. No doubt he succeeded
in saving Berner from the gallows by
means of a packed jury. The day follow
ing the outbreak of the riot he received
the following note:
T. C. Campbell: It is our desire to
avoid any further bloodshed, hut being
firm in our determination to rid our city
of worthless and dangerous characters,
we herewith command you to leave the
city of Cincinnati within twelve hours,
now and forever, or suffer the conse
quences. Many Citizens.
Campbell did not heed the notification
at once. He went upon ’change, and in
other ways made himself unduly con
spicuous. He boasted that he “could
have secured the acquittal of Berner if
he had been so disposed, and that it was
the only case in which he hail allowed
one of his clients to be convicted.” It
will be remembered that Ber
ner was convicted of manslaughter
although he was guilty of murder.
His boast indicates how thoroughly the
fountains of justice in Cincinnati are
poisoned. Campbell received the cold
shoulder everywhere, and at last it be
came apparent, even to him, that unless
he got out of the way he would be tarred
and feathered and ridden out of Ijie city
on a rail. He then took his departure,
and will probably give Cincinnati a wide
berth until it is entirely safe for him to
return.

There U a good deal of feeling in Indiana

in the county poor houses throughout the
State. The Secretary of the State Board of

Asylum have been making a survey of these

terrible. Said Superintendent Fletcher: “If
you could tell half the howible truth aliout
the poor houses of Indiana and the treatment
of the women in them, the insane and the
idiotic, I believe the women of Indiana would
move upon them and tear them down.” In
many of the asylums they are treated as wild

him. But it is still a subject of discussion and

HUSHING DOWN A GRADE.
A Terrible Accident on a Tittle Railroad
on the of Maui. -
A correspondent of the New York? Sun
writes the details ot a railroad accident
on the great sugar plantation of Clans
Spreckles, on the Island of Maui, a few
miles from Honolulu. The road is from
the sea to the sugar fields, and is only
three miles long. On the 14th of Febru
ary Mrs. Henry Brown and Mrs. Plati,
whose husbands are employed on the es
tate, and Mrs. Parker, wife of the engi
neer, took a notion to ride to the planta
tion. Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Plati each
had three children and Mrs. Parker an
infant. At the fop of the hill a brakeman
pulled a coupling pin too soon and seven
cars, with the passenger coach in front,
went thundering down the grade and met
another train. 'Mrs. Parker, with her
babe, jumped, and neither Was hurt.
Mrs. Plati covered her face and sat still.
Mrs. Brown threw her youngestchild out.
It was saved, but badly hurt. She and
her other two children, 7 and 5, were ter
ribly crushed. Mrs. Plati and her chil
dren were badly hurt, but escaped by a
miracle, with bruised faces and broken
limbs.
A VAIN EFFORT.
King’s Ambition and Wliat Will Coiue
of It.
Representative King, says a Washing
ton special of the 2d, is striving to be a
great man. He has undertaken the her
culean job of endeavoring to get the
revenue reformers to surrender the Morri
son tariff" bill and agree upon another bill
reducing the tariff, the latter to be intro
duced between now and the 10th of next
January.
The initial step of General Representa
tive King was taken to-day, in sending an
address to each Democratic member, em
bodying his views and asking for another
caucus, signing the address “Many Dem
acrats.” In doing this, Mr. King enlarges
his literary bureau, which has heretofore
been chiefly confined to an extensive ad
vertising of himself as the great savior of
the rivers and harbors of the Mississippi.
The address of Mr. King was not treated
seriously by the members to-day, as they
deemed it a weak invention of the enemy
and altogether extremely absurd. Gen.
King will likely fall back in a few days
to bis “hard times” dispatches.

“Sir,” sharply remarked a pretty Bos.
ton girl, moving away from a young New
Y'orker who was seated on the same sofa
with her and exhibited a disposition to
abridge the distance between them, “6ir,
the radius vector of your orbit is getting
too short.”
The young man turned pale, felt around
for his legs in a stupefied sort or war,
seemed to recover some confidence on dis
covering that they were still there, arose
and fled.

A MEDIUM MAULED.
Exposure of Spiritualist in Moberly.
An Itinerant calling himself A. F. Aok
eriy, and registering from New Y’ork,
says a Moberly (Mo,) special of the Ist
inst. to the Chicago Tribune, appeared in
this city Saturday last and arranged with
some of Moberly’s spiritualistic citizens
to give a seance at a fashionable residence
Sunday evening, at an admission fee of
sl. At the time and place appointed a
goodly number of ladies and gentlemen
assembled, and Mr. Ackerly, with all his
paraphernalia of cabinet, musical instru
ments, etc., was promptly on hand and
ready to go ahead with his ghostly enter
tainment. Placing himself in front of his
cabinet, between a gentleman and
lady, who occupied chairs on either
side, the performance was appa
rently ready to begin, and would
doubtless have gone on to a suc
cessful conclusion had it not been tor a
most untimely and disastrous mishap,
which came about in this wise. Among
the audieuee was the athletic and natu
rally suspicious Mike Willott, who, unob
served by the medium, slipped around and
entered the cabinet for the purpose of tak
ing observations. A dim light was burn
ing in the room, and when the medium,
having hold of the crossed hands of those
sitting beside him, making it appear to
them that both his hands were engaged,
slyly released one of them and slipped it
through the curtain for the purpose of
playing a banjo lying on a small table in
side the cabinet, Mr. Willott, who was
keenly on the alert, seized the wrist with
a vise-like grip iu one hand, and
with the other following up the
lead found to his indignant amaze
ment that the hand, instead of be
longing to a spirit of health or goblin
damped, was a veritable attachment to
Mr. Ackerly himself. At this revelation,
Mr. Willott, in his indignation at the dis
covery of such a palpable fraud, jerked
the medium from his chair- and com
menced pounding him most unmercifully
with his fist, damaging him severely both
in health and good look*. Ladies
screamed and fainted, while men were
aghast at such an untoward and sudden
outcome of the seance. The company
seized on his apparatus for the manufac
ture of ghosts, and refused to return it.
At 2 o’clock this afternoon Mr. Ackerly
was arrested on a warrant charging him
with fraud and deception. He was im
mediately arraigned before Judge Coates
and bound over to await the action of the
grand jury, which meets here in Septein
ber.
THE SILVER QUESTION.
Senator Maxey's Proposed Amendment
to tlic House Bill for the Retirement
of the Trade Dollar.
Senator Maxey, says a Washington
special of the 2d, has prepared an amend
ment to the House bill for the retirement
of the trade dollar, which provides that
after January 1, 1785, trade dollars shall
be on deposit at all United
States depositories, and, together with all
half dollars, quarter dollars and dimes
now coined and in the Treasury or which
may hereafter come into the Treasury,
and all other silver which altor said
date may be purchased for coin
age. by the Secretary of the
Treasury, shall be sent to the mints
and coined into half dollars, each, of
which shall contain 206 y, grains of stan
dard silver, and such coins shall be legal
tender for any amount Tor debts, public or
private. It provides, however, that the
Secretary of the Treasury may In his dis
cretion continue under the existing law
the coinage of quarters anti dimes which
shall, however, contain respectively one
fourth and one-tenth standard silver now
contained in the standard dollar, and all
said quarters and dimes shall be legal
tender to any amount for all public and
private debts. It provides also for the
issue by the Secretary of the Treasury of
silver certificates based upon the half
dollars, quarters and dimes thus pro
vided for in the same manner as required
by the law in the case of the silver dollar.
Florida Transportation.
The increase of transportation facilities
in Florida is simply marvelous. A few
years ago large sections of the State were
almost unknown to civilization, and the
crops raised in the cultivated districts
could not be sent to market. But now al
most every county is crossed by a rail
road connecting with deep-water harbors,
or with other lines of railway leading to
distant markets. But, marvelous as has
been this increase, there is apprehension,
lrom the rapid development of the
agricultural resources of the State,
that transportation will still prove
deficient. The railways hardly real
ize now, says the Fernatidina
Mirror, the increased means of transpor
tation which will be demanded with an
accelerated ratio within the next five
years. But for the establishment of
steamship lines from Savannah north
ward, it continues, Florida would have
found it impossible to place her last
orange crop in market. These tears, it i9
proper to remark, are applicable
alone to transportation between the
ports for shipping Florida produce
and the Northern markets, and
have no relerence to the local trans
portation facilities of the State. The lat
ter has been so well cared for by the Plant
Investment Company, through the exten
sion of branches i'rom the Savannah,
Florida and Western Railway, that there
can remain no apprehension ot ample fa
cilities in the future from all localities of'
the State to the ports. In addition to the
numerous facilities afforded by other rail
roads, this company has completed the
South Florida Road from Sanford, at the
head of navigation on the St.
John's, to Tampa, on the
Gulf. It’s Rowlands Bluff' branch
from Live Oak toward Tampa and Clear
Water Harbor has arrived at the central
point of Gainesville, where it Intersects
the Transit Road between Fernandina
and Cedar Keys, and the arrangement
entered into some time ago by which it
will he able to run through trains from
Tampa, via Sanford, along the St. John’s
and over the Waycross Short Line, thus
enclosing the most valuable part of the
peninsula, leaves no room for apprehen
sion about outward bound transporta
tion, while the inclosed territory is being
literally checkered with branches by the
several companies operating in that re
gion, Chronicler.

Half Out of His Head.
“Blessed be the man," said Don Quixote’s
weary squire, “who invented sleep.” San
cho’s gratitude is ours, but what if one cau
not lor any reason enjoy that excellent inven
tion- “Nervousness in me had become a dis
ease," writes Mr. William Coleman, the well
known wholesale druggist of Buffalo, N. T.
“I could not sleep, and my nights were
either passed in that sort of restlessness which
nearly crazes a man, or in a kind of stupor,
haunted by tormenting dreams. Having
taken Parker’s Tonic for other troubles, I
tried it also for this. The result both sur
nrised and delighted me. Mv nerves were
toned to concert pitch, and, like Caesar’s fat
men. X fell into the ranks of those who sleep o’
nights. I should add that the Tonic speedily
did away with the condition of general de
bility and dyspepsia occasioned by- my pre
vious sleeplessness, and gave me strength and
perfect digestion. In brief, the use of the
Tonic thoroughly re-established my health.
I have used Parker’S Tonic with entire suc
cess for sea-sickness and for the bowel dis
orders incident to ocean voyages.”
This preparation has heretofore been known
as Parker's Ginger Tonic. Hereafter it
will be advertised and sold under the name of
Parker's Tonic —omitting the word “gin
ger.” Hiscox & Cos. are induced to make
this change by the action of unprincipled
dealers who have for years deceived their
customers by substituting inferior prepara
tions under the name of ginger. W e drop the
misleading word all the more willingly, as
finger is an unimportant llavoriug ingredient
in our Tonic.
Please remember that no change lias been,
or will be, made in the preparation itself, and
ail bottles remaining iu the hands of dealers,
wrapped under the name of Parker’s Ginger
Tonic, contain the genuine medicine if the
fac-similc signature of Hiscox ,t Cos. is at
the bottom of the outside wrapper.

this Year’s Easter Cards.
The popularity of Easter Cards appears
to be on the increase. The favorite festi
val of the Christian Church throughout
the world, everything that honors its ob
servance, appeals to a large portion of the
public. But apart from this the fashion
of sending cards at certain seasons has
become more usual from year to year, and
perhaps at Easter is the more appre
ciated, as it is not a time when gifts of a
more important oharacter are given, as
they are at Christmas. The beauty and
value of these cards is largely dependent
upon novelty of design, atul those now
on exhibition at Messrs. Davis Bros.’ the
art stationers, show a variety which is
really marvelous. Cards of every size
are designed by well known artists, and
many of the most beautiful are reproduced
upon satin, and mounted in different
ways. Prices as low as usual.—iVeio
