Beecher s Letter.
Before Blaine was nominated few people
believed that his record was so bad as it
has been shown to be. It is true that in J
1*76 and in 1580, when he was one of the j
most prominent of the Presidential candi
dates of his party, there were loud j
whispers that his record as a public man
was so bad that it would not be wise to
nominate him. There was the same sort
of whispering in the convention of 1584. j
His supporters, however, pretended to
believe that the stories of his crooked
practices while a member of Congress
would not damage his prospects as a
candidate. To what extent they de
ceived themselves and their party is
now apparent.
The first effect of his nomination was to
cause a bolt of a very large and respecta
ble faction of his party. The second
effect wa to make a very large number
of independent voters who have usually
voted with the Republicans to withdraw
their support from him. Additional evi
dences of Blaine's methods ot making
money out of the responsible positions he
held are continually coming to light.
The last instance of the manner in
which he degraded the high office of
Speaker of the House is furnished by a
letter from Henry Ward Beecher. In
September, lMil. Mr. Beecher was a guest
of James F. Joy, one of the railroad
magnates of the Northwest. At dinner,
where there was quite a number of guests
besides Mr. Beecher, the host, Mr. Joy,
stated that Blaine, through a friend,
sought a bribe from him. Mr. Joy wanted
an able lawyer placed on a certain com
mittee, and Blaine's friend said that
the committee would be made up as de
sired if Mr. Joy would take at par $25 000
of worthless bonds which Blaine had.
Blaine’s proposition was declined.
Mr. Beecher says that he would not
have told this circumstance of Blaine's
career if Mr. Joy, who is now in Europe,
had not, in a cable dispatch a day or two
ago, practically denied that Blaine ever
sought a bribe from him.
Mr. Joy may have his reasons for re
maining on good terms with Blaine. lie
was a delegate in the convention of 18-50
long after the attempt to get a bribe from
him, and supported Blaine. In fact, he
made a speech in Blame’s behalf.
But because Mr. Joy is now a good
friend of Blaine, and wants to shield hint
from the attacks which are justified by
his disreputable conduct, it doesn't follow
that what Mr. Joy says now is to be be
lieved in preference to what he said in
1877.
Blaine appears to be particularly fortu
nate in getting people to deny the dishon
orable acts which have been charged to
his account, but somehow or other the de
nials lack something which makes them
less forcible and convincing than the orig
inal charges.
It does not speak well for a Presiden
tial candidate to be compelled to devote
so much of his time to patching up his
record. From the beginning of the cam
paign Blaine has been kept pretty busy
writing explanatory letters to Phelps,
McKinley, Bundy and others, and in look
ing after his ill-advised libel suit.
Not Dead Yet.
It is reported that some of the share
holders in the barracks property say that
they are determined to build a hotel on
that site, and that they will be able to
raise the necessary amount of money
within a reasonable time. It is to be
hoped that the report is well founded. It
is certainly gratifying to be informed that
there is still some vitality in the original
scheme. It is difficult to understand,
however, how the scheme is to be carried
forward to completion as long as so many
of the shareholders reluse either to donate
their shares to advance the hotel project
or to put them in as stock in a hotel con
struction company.
All of the shareholders are either busi
ness men or property owners, and there
is not one of them who would not, in some
way, be benefitted by such a hotel as is
proposed to a greater extent than the
value of his share. But, assuming that
no benefits will accrue to them, they can
better afford to help along an enterprise
that promises to promote the prosperity
of the city than to hold on to their shares
at an annual expense for taxes and other
charges. There ought to be a little public
spirit and a good deal of disinterestedness
shown in this matter. How would it do
for the shareholders to turn all their
shares into the stock of the hotel con
struction company, and at the same time
to take as much more of the stock of the
construction company? Of course they
would pay for their additional stock in
cash. They would then have the site and
$69,000 In cash to start with.
Are there not capitalists at the North
who would lie willing to loaD. at sor 6
per cent., all the money that would be
required to make an enterprise with such
a basis a success? The loan that would
l>e necessary would be less than $200,000,
and the security would be the hotel
property, which, completed, would cost
about $325,000. The security would be
ample.
The Morning News is ready to put its
interest in the barracks property into the
construction company’s stock, and to
take as much more of the stock as its
interest in the barracks property cost.
Are the other shareholders willing to join
in that sort of an investment? It is about
certain that it will pay.
If it is found that this proposition can
not be made a success it would be well to
take the scheme into serious considera
tion that was outlined in the Morning
News on Tuesday. That is a very feasi
ble scheme, and the location of the Pa
vilion Hotel is an excellent 6ite.
There is no use abandoning the agita
tion of this hotel enterprise until it is a
success or is proven beyond question to
be a tailure.
Of course there is no intention of re
flecting upon the earnestness or sincerity
of any one of the shareholders in the bar
racks property. They shewed liberality
and public spirit. The only mistake they
made was that they paid too much for
their property. They meant well, how
ever. Let them continue to do well, and
let others, fully as able, lend a helping
hand. The hotel project isn’t dead yet.
The Drummers' Tax.
Our city fathers probably are cogitating
over the taxes to be levied for next year.
Will it not be well for them to abolish the
drummers' tax. and let our merchants
have the benefit ot the advantages to be
obtained by a free interchange of ideas
with the representatives of the merchants
and manufacturers of other cities? Drum
mers are an advantage, not a disad
vantage, to live business men.
The hostility between the French and
German people is almost as great as it
was at the end of the war, yet the two
governments seem to be on tbe most
cordial terms. La Pail, President Grevy’s
organ, has found it necessary to make a
special plea to the people of France con
cerning the relations of the republic with
Germany. It says: “To make France
strong she must not be isolated from
Europe, even if that implies common
action with Germany. The French Gov
ernment understands this, and cannot be
reproached therefor.” The French people
can illy bear the idea of an alliance with
the nation they regard as their chief
enemy.
In many of the larger cities of Europe
war is threatened not only against the
baiters, but against dealers in provisions
of all kinds. It is salt! that in London
bread pays 300 per cent, profit to the miller
and Laker. Not only this, but the retail
dealers in tea, coffee, sugar and other
staple articles make enormous profits. It
is stated that tea which is so id at whole
sale at 20 cents is retailed at 65 cents per
pound. Potatoes are a drug in the market
at about $2 per barrel, while the con
sumer is required to pay about $2 per
bushel for them. Great indignation ex
ist*, and it is probable that co-operative
companies will be formed in many places,
which will almost destroy the present re
tail provision trade.
The rumor comes from Washington that
Guiteau's bones have not been mounted,
but ace kept securely hid away in the
army medical museum. Visitors esteem
it a great privilege to get a peep at them,
which can only be done when Surgeon
Billings is in a very good humor.
New York Criminals.
New York claims to have the best po
lice force in the world. The claim may
be well founded. It Is certain, however,
that people who visit the metropolis are
not absolutely certain that they will get
away with their pocketbooks and their
lives. The city is invested with bunco
men, who, although known to the police,
do not hesitate to rob every man whose
appearance gives them the least encour
agement. Frequently accounts of rob
beries by bunco men find their way into
print, but it is probable that nothing is
ever heard from a majority of the victims.
A more dangerous class of thieves than
the bunco men is the foot-pads. They
hunt their victims at night and are as
ready to commit murder as they are to
commit robbery. On Sunday night last
in Central Pars a young man from Falls
City. Nebraska, was shot in the hand
and his poeketbeok, containing S2OO.
taken from him. The robber attempted to
kill his victim. Not long ago a celebrated
New York criminal said that hanging
was played out in that city. It is about
time that the practice of stretching the
necks of murderers was revived. Thieves
and murderers are getting too numerous
there. Jersey justice would rid the city
of a good many objectionable characters.
Mr. Morton anti the Treasury Port
folio.
Evidently Minister Morton is not to be
Secretary of the Treasury. He arrived
from Paris on Monday and intends to re
turn to his post of duty in November. A
couple of weeks ago the Washington cor
respondents were apparently satisfied
that Mr. Morton would fill the vacancy
caused by Folger’s death. As far as the
public knows tne President had no inten
tion of offering Mr. Morton a place in his
Cabinet. It is now said that Sir. Morton’s
visit is for the purpose of assisting the
Blaine managers to raise money in
Wall street- Whether this story has more
foundation than the other it is difficult to
determine. Mr. Morton himself, proba
bly, will enrich the Blaine treasury to the
extent of several thousand dollars. So
far as the Treasury is concerned, the indi
cations are that Gen. Gresham will con
tinue to direct it as long as Arthur re
mains President. The President could
not get a more capable Secretary of the
Treasury and one more likely to give gen
eral satisfaction. Just before the end of
his administration Arthur can make Gen.
Gresham the successor of Judge Drum
mond if Gresham wants the place. The
newspapers appear to think he ought to
have it.
Perhaps the poets may get anew Idea
this hot spell about “summer lingering in
the lap of autumn.”

Emperor William’s physicians did their
best to keep him from going to Skiernewiezy,
but he is by no means an obedient patient,
and the matter was clenched by an unlucky
suggestion that the Crown Prince should rep

jealous of his heir, and grudges him the least
share in the Imperial Government. He thinks
him weak and sentimental. The Emperor
has. however, consented to abandon his plan
of a ways attending reviews and inspections

The change in the temper of the Parisian
populace is shown amusingly by the fact that

the bou evards there are men calling them
selves Frenchmen who would join in cheering

the hissing of King Alfonso for accepting a
German regiment, and within six weeks of
the tearing down of the German flag from the
Continental Hotel.

the hopper as fast as they can be used up. The

when the chee-e is complete the platform re

strained through racks and cloth*. Tanks in
the basement are provided for catching the

In the Belgian papers we read the an
nouncement of the death, at Bottefort. near
Brussels, of a foreign \ Prince who, since his
settlement within the dominions of King Leo
pold 11., has been known under the assumed
name of Baron de Reichenfels. The deceased,
about whose identity there is no mysterv. whs
the hero of a romantic attachment. Prince
Henrv XX. of Reuse becamo enamored, about
four or five rears since, of Clotilde Lot-set, a
circus riderr According to the rigid laws of
strict etiquette prevailing at the courts of
Germany, a marriage with this lady would lie
an unpardonable wimlHssw, involving on the
part of the Prince the loss or relinquishment
of most of the privileges of his rank and posi
tion. Prince Henry, however, had made up
his mind to espouse the damsel. Th:> mor
ganatic union was concluded, and from that
moment the bridegroom renounced his title
as Prince and all the advantages of his rank,
and until his death, a few days since. liTed In
retirement a simple Baron de Reichenfels in
one of the suburbs of the Belgian capital.
He was a tall man, with rather sandy
and long hair and an iron-gray chin whisker.
Us wore a sack suit of steel-mixed and a yel
lowish brown slouch hat. There was a red
buttonhole bouquet in his coat lapel. His
stand-up collar was surrounded by a black
tie. An o-dinary everv-day watch chain
hung from the second buttonhole of his vest.
As he walked up from the Western Union
main office, Buffalo, N. Y., he jogged along
carelessly, looked neither to the right nor
left, but seemed engaged in a sort of com
munion with himself. The man was Mr.
Oliver Dalrympie, the most extensive farmer
m the United States. Mr. t'al
ryniple, although he lives in St. Paul,
Minn., confines his farming operations to Da
kota. where in Cass and Trail counties he has
a two-thirds interest in 75.000 acres of as fine
wheat land as the sun ever shone upon. The
product, as indicated by that so far threshed,
will be about 600,000 bushels this year. Mr.
Dalrympie employs in his farming operations
1.000 men. 800 horses and mules, '.OO self
binding reapers and 30 steam threshers. “I
have lived in St. Paul thirty years,” s id Mr.
Dalrympie, “and Been it grow from 10,000 to
100.000.” When asked relative to his age he
said: “You may tell them that I have not yet
got to the grav-haired. broad-shouldered man
of sin. Mv visit here is for the purpose of see

with Buffalo elevator men for the storage of
a part of my this year’s crop.”

And finds, too late, that letters squeal.
What art again can make him jolly.
What course can make him better feel?
The onlv art his shame to cover,
And hide tils faults from every eye.
And try to hoodwink the Mulligan traitors.
And wring their bosoms—is —to lie.

A MONSTER’S SEVEN WIVES.
The Pathetic Story Related of Some
Tombstones in an Old Cemetery.
I retraced my steps and again crossed
the Salzbach, says a Salzburg letter. Up
against the vertical granite wall of
Monchsberg I found the cemetery of St.
Peter—the oldest city of the dead here.
The houses adjoining on either side were
built up against the flat, perpendicular
surface of the mountain, while high
above, directly over their roofs, large for
est trees were* luxuriantly growing out of
the rock. At the extreme top towered the
giant walls of the old castle —now a forti
fication—looking as if they might at any
moment topple over and entomb the
tombs. As I was walking away I saw six
iron crosses huddled together in a row
near by, with the base of another which
bad been broken and removed. Upon in
quiry I learned that this was not a second
edition of the Seven Sleepers, but the
melancholy spot where seven successive
wives of a masculine monster had been
interred. The pathetic part of the story
is that the seven all enjoyed the novelty of
death by having the soles of their feet
tickled. It is interesting to record that
the eighth spouse discovered the fate that
was awaiting her. and delivered her fiend
ish consort over to the authorities, so that
the previous deaths were avenged—albeit
tardily.
The Tennessee Railway Commission.
The Railuruy Age.
The columns of our Southern ex
changes, especially those published in the
State of Tennessee, give evidence that
the question of State supervision of rail
ways is assuming considerable promi
nence in political discussions In that part
of the country. In the State named
efforts are being made to present it as one
of the issues m the coming election. If
the newspaper reports are correct Mr.
John H. Savage, the Chairman of the pres
ent Railwav Commission of that State,
is attempting to do this and has taken
the stump for the purpose of fostering a
sentiment prejudicial to railways, and
consequently, as we are thoroughly con
vinced, hostile to the best interests of the
State. From the reports ol his speeches
which have come under our notice we are
constrained to say that the methods
adopted by the gentleman named are not
those which will give the voting masses
of Tennessee anv intelligent comprehen
sion of the matter. His addresses are
much better calculated to arouse blind
prejudices than to cause intelligent con
victions. Ho seems to be carrying on a
regular political, “slang-whan®’’ canvass.
He wants anew law, which snail largely
increase the power of the commission,
authorizing them to fix rates, etc. If
there ever was a worst method for en
lightening the people on so important an
economic question as the relation of the
railways to the State than the ordinary
stump speech and barbecue plan, we have
no knowledge of it. As the Nashville
American recently remarked in a well
considered article, the Railway Com
mission problem, at least so far as Ten
nessee is concerned, is simply a business
mutter. Tbe State is. a9 yet, iar from
being fully supplied with railways. If it
establishes a commission with power to
fix rates, or, in other words, with arbi
trary authority to limit the earnings of
capital invested in railways, those who
wish to make money, building and operat
ing railways will carefully avoid that
State. The’ natural and inevitable risks
to capital in that lorm of investment are
very great, and for a State to restrict the
earnings of railways by means of an
irresponsible commission, while it does
not protect the roads from competition or
from anv form ot loss, is an additional
risk that capital will not face. One
thing appears certain, that the demand
for such a commission does not proceed
Irom the business men of the State.
Whether it has any other source than the
love which restless politicians have for
office and salaries we, at this distance,
cannot decide. But where a politician
seeks to carry his point by vociferating
that the railways are all that is bad. the
fact that he is playing the part of a dema
gogue is more than a matter of suspicion.

TOM OCHILTREE BUYS A PIG-
The Pig was Raised on the Queen’s
Shore Farm at Windsor Castle.
A young man with blue eyes and blonde
moustache and imperial, dressed like a
dude, says the New York Sun, mounted
the auction block at the American Horse
Exchange on Wednesday and began to
sell pigs. He was P. J. Kellogg. He talk
ed like a Java parrot, and his banged hair
shook like the fetlock of a horse as he
pounded the desk with his mallet. He was
selling Prince Albert pigs, imported by
J. Fisher Satterthwaite, of Sutler Farm,
S. J. The pigs were from the Queen's
Shore Farm at Windsor Castle. Harry Hill
bought one for SSO. Dr. Wm.W, Bowlby
got another for $75. Robert C. Brown
took a runt lor S4O, and sent it to George
Hopcraft's restaurant in Franklin street.
Finally a magnificent pig was put up.
The dude auctioneer called attention to
its fine points, expatiating on the plump
ness of the pig’s chops, the droop of its
eyelids, the ivorv-like whiteness of its
hoofs, and the flexibility of its tail. A
sturdv-knit gentleman, with auburn hair
and small freckled bands, became an in
terested spectator. There was a hardly
perceptible squint in his off eye. He
carried his head like a short legged dog.
sidling as he runs. He wore clothes made
by Poole, of London, and shoes made uy
Grandissime, of Paris. He was evidently
charmed by the pig, and in the intervals
of the bidding he closed one eye and fond
ly gazed at it with the other. The auc
tioneer deftly led the bidders over the
hundred mark, and closed by shouting:
“And-five, an'-five. an’-tive —a hundred
and-tive-dollars. third and last time. Sold
to Col. Thomas P. Ochiltree for $105.”
The Texas Congressman drew off his
undressed gants de seude and planked
down the money. His glances of admira
tion were not "reciprocated by the pig.
Indeed, the animal scratched its hock
and regarded the gallant Colonel with
supreme indifference.
“What am I going to do with it?” he
said in response to the question of a
friend. “Well, I hardly know jet. I did
think of crossing him with the piny woods

then 1 reckoned that in>' Malvolian friend
Gifford of the Antonio Daily Light
might like him. He’s had powerful ex

Then, winding a snowy arm about his

mured: “Won’t you give me just one mo

“N'o, my soul's idol!'’ he replied. “I
can no longer endure suspense. Your
answer must come now.”
“Just a moment,” she pleaded in shy
accents, as her lilly hand caressed his
arm and wandered softly, with the elec
tric touch oflove, toward his hip pocket.
“Not a moment,” he sternly replied.
“Will you be my wife?”
Swift as a break in oil her hand jerked
the deadly self-cocking bull-dog pistol
from his pocket, and, jamming its muzzle
against his left ear, she murmured: “No.
you ice cream wreck, emphatically no!
And if you ain’t out of sight in two sec

you.” Then, as his heels glanced around

public, we are careful in avoiding exaggerations, as we value our reputation far too high Ur
depart from actual facts.
SILK VELVETS, BROCADES, VELVETEENS.
We have these at exceedingly low figures, considering their respective qualities. A good
many of these goods we have purchased at less than half their market value.
HOUSEKEEPING GOODS.
Please notice these figures: 8-4 wi e Extra Good Quality Sheeting at 15c.; 9-4 wide at 17c.;
10 4 wide at 19c. Kindly allow us to impress upon you tliat these Sheetings are the celebrated
Pepperel Mills (one of the very best makes in the market), but at these prices yon cannot buy
the meanest trash even in other houses—unless this announcement forces them to imitate us
at any sacrifice. The real value of these Sheetings are 25c., 30c. and Ssc. per yard, according
to width.

OUR BLANKETS.
Cur Blankets are Extraordinary Bargains. They were mainly purchased at Trade
Auctions in September last. We have sold more Blankets id consequence of our low prices
than many houses sell during the entire winter season. Ami, do you know the reason why?
Because, owing to the cheap purchases we have made, we ar>c able to afford to sell them at
almost any price. If we can’t save you one-half your money on each pair, then don’t buv.
We have a small lot of slightly soiled Blankets also on hand, which we offer at very low prices.
