Help in Time.
The sppeal of the special committee
appointed to collect funds to assist tne
cause of Democracy, which we published
yesterday, and which we publish again
this morning, ought to meet with a
prompt and generous response. The sue
oos of the Democratic party means a
great deal that is desirable for the whole
country, an t especially for the M*uth.
It means honest government and a proper
inter pretation of the constitution. It means
th- and -wnfall of that system of oppression
which the Republican party has practiced
in the South through its revenue agents
and marshals. It means the end ol offi
cial corruption and jobbery. It means the
political death of the must corrupt lot of
politicians that the country has ever
known —politicians who glory in honoring
the re an known to fame in connec
tion viiji the Mulligan Ut
ters as their chief. To help
the Democratic j artv win the victory and
the present campaign the people of sa
vannah and of the State of Georgia can
afford to contribute something. The mil
lionaire monopolists and great corpora
ti- ms of the North are keeping the K- pub
lican treasury well filled. The Demo
cratic party has only the people to depend
upon. It is fighting the battle of the
people and has a right to depend upon
them. Let there be a response worthy of
the cause which needs aid. All contri
butions handed in at the places suggested
by the committee will reach their proper
destination.
The Indians Must Go.
- me of the Western papers are per
sU'ent in their agitation of the proposi
tion to open up the Indian Territory for
settlement. There seems to be no defect
in the title of the Indians to the lands.
The territory was solemnly deeded by
treaties with the different tribes in ex
change for other lands. It seems that
now as the Indians are becoming civilized
and premise to disprove the old claim that
they were irreclaimable savages, the en
hanced value or their lr.nds from improve
ment and the proximity of white settle
ments, have excited the cupidity of thou
sands besides those adventurers, who.
under Capt. Payne, have given the gov
eminent so much trouble.
While the Republicans are searching
the land for campaign material some of
them have hit upon the Indian Territory
question, and a recent number of the St.
Louie Globe-Don •ref takes the Congress
men from Missouri severely to task tor
not working for the opening ot the Terri
tory. It says: “Within a short distance
of St. Louis is the Indian Territory, ca
pable of sustaining a population as large
as any of the States of the Union. All the
physical conditions necessary to a great
-tale, except population, are to be found
there. Its settlement and development
would undeniably add millions to the
trade of St. Louis and other Missouri
cities. But it might as well be a desert
immigration being excluded, and ol
course production practically prohibited,
with the consequent interchanges of trade
and commerce. How long would Chic-go
permit such a territory lying at its back
and *or to remain unoccupied and unproduc
tive?’’
Here the old plea that the Indian Ter
ritory lies in the way of civilization and
otistructs its progress, which has bean the
usual cry of those who favor its opening
for settlement, has been abondoned. The
open ground is taken that it would fce
millions of dollars in the pockets of >t.
Louis and other Western cities to rob the
Indian tribes of their lands and force them
to admit to their beautiful country hordes
.f adventurers, who would not only soon
impoverish and ruin them, but who proba
bly would soon seize some pretext to ex
terminate them altogether.
The most artful of those who covet the
bread areas of the Indian Territory are
those who contend that the tribes should
be forced to partition the lands to the
Indians in severalty and to abolish
the tribal titles. It this were done
shrewd men would soon lx? able to trade
many of the Indians out of their posses
sions, and then a series of persecution*
could easily be inaugurated that would
force the others to sell out for very inade
quate prices, and break up the hopeful
governmental systems under which thou
sands of savages have become well-to-do,
educated and industrious people.
It is gratifying to know that the agita
tors have not made much headway so far.
and there is little likelihood of the Indian
Territory liciug soon opened to the white*
unless the Indians themselves adopt the
system of partition now advocated by the
wonlil-be invaders.
The attempt of this Republican paper
to use this question to prejudice the peo
ple of Missouri against the Democratic
< ougressmen from that State will fail.
The Republicans have a fine record as
land robbers, but they have done nearly
all their land stealing trom the govern
ment, and hence they can expect little
sympathy even from those who want to
seize on the Indian Territory land.
Insurant*© on Florida Hotels.
The action of the Southeastern Tariff
Association in advancing the rates of in
surance on Florida hotels from 1 to IV,
[ier cent, above the rates on similar risks
in other States causes a good deal of in
dignation on the part of the property
owners affected by it. There seems to be
no reason why a hotel of a certain class
in Florida, w hether built ot brick or wood,
should l>e required to pay a higher pre
mium than a hotel of the same class in
any other State. There Is one reason at
least why Florida hotels ought not to be
required to pay as much as hotels of the
same class at the North —that is that very
little fire is used in them for warming pur
poses throughout the entire winter, and
hence one great source oi risk is almost
entirely wanting.
This action of the Tariff' Association was
caused by the recent heavy losses the
insurance companies sustained ou
Florida hotels. Several hotels were
burned in the State during the past year,
causing a total loss to the insurance com
panies ot slo,t*Bi> 26. It is claimed that
only one of these hotels was destroyed by
a tire that originated in the building. 31r.
J. H. Norton, of Jacksonville, in a commu
nication in the Insurance Chronicle , claims
that the records show that, during the four
teen years previous to the present year,
the Florida hotels paid in premiums to the
insurance companies the sum ot $327,-
:v,i ao, while the actual amount paid for
losses during that time was only $140,-
506 26. This appears to he as good a
showing as any reasonable insurance
company ought to desire.
While the balance is considerably
against the companies for the past twelve
months, there is every reason to believe
that they will rapidly recover their losses.
It is claimed that nearly all the Florida
hotels are built with care, and are owned
by responsible and careful men. Besides,
thev are profitable, and this reduces the
moral hazard to a minimum, even if, in
any case, the owner or occupant is not
altogether above suspicion. The recent
fires have had the effect to make all par
ties concerned doubly watchful and care
ful. and the real risk i9 no doubt less now
than it ever has been.
It is not common in this part ot the
country for “ the office to seek the man’’
very persistently. Hence the tale that
comes from Missouri that a citizen of that
state, on hearing that he had been nomi
nated for the Legislature, refused to ac
cept, and ran away and concealed him
self in a swamp until his admirers bunted
him down with shotguns and dogs, and
forced him to go into the race, will not
be very readily believed. In Georgia the
nomination has to hide itself, and very
frequently the candidates go on a wild
hunt for it, as it were, with dogs and guns
and plentiful supplies of snake antidote.
P. T. Barnum is showing around a let
ter from his agent in Bunnah stating that
the recent floods and famine in that coun
rry were attributed to the wickedness of
the Kisg and people in selling the sacred
white elephant, and that a secret emissa
ry had been dispatched to America to kill
the animal. Probably the real trouble is
the Burmese are conscience-stricken for
assisting Barnum to palm a fraud off on
the American people. If they had been
in the show business as long as Barnum
has they would have learned to consider
nothing sacred but the almighty dollar.
Bom© Prison Systems.
The sharp attack that was made a few
rears ago on the convict lease in Georgia,
and which resulted in the passing of a
bill providing for a mere thorough super
vision of the system, did not figure in
state politics to the extent that it was
thought it would. There have been fewer
•ases of abuse under the system in Geor
gia. perhaps, than in any other State, and
a w there appears to be very little discus
sion as to what shall be done with the
convicts when the lease expires. No
doubt, however, that a* the day for the
expiration of the lease approaches, the
question of its renewal will be one of the
most prominent, if not the most promi
nent. issue before the j*eople of the State.
In Kentucky there is great aversion
toward the employment of convict labor
on public and private works outside the
penitentiary wall*. At Lexington pub
lic feeling has been so wrought up on the
subject that the release of the convicts by
mob violence has been threatened. Com
plaint is made that in many instances the
guards employed by the lessees are worse
than the convicts, and are a great source
of annoyance and terror to those who re
side in the neighborhood of the camps.
The convict-lease question occupies a
very prominent position in the present
State campaign in Tennessee. Judge
Reid, the Republican candidate for Gover
nor. is in favor of adopting the camp sys
tem, while Gov. Bate defends the present
system, under which the bulk of the con
victs are leased to a manufacturing com
pany which employs them within the pen
itentiary wails. The i*osition of Reid, to
judge from the expressions of the Tennes
see papers, does not appear to be favored
by the people, and it is not probable that
any change will be made in the immediate
future by that State.
It appears that in Kentucky the lease
system has not only been productive of
cruelty and abuse to the convicts, but has
to some extent demoralized labor, and
has caused actual pecuniary loss to the
State treasury.
There is scarcely any manner in which
convicts can be employed, whether in
penitentiaries or out of them, where they
will not to some extent compete with free
labor, and scarcely any one favors keep
ing them in prison in idleness. The labor
reformer, therefore, has less to say about
the convict question in this section of the
Union than the economist and the human
itarian. Convicts are expected to under
go hard labor, and the true policy is to
adopt and perfect that system which is
the most beneficial to the convicts and to
the state and the least injurious to free
laborers.
Tlie Pink Sky.
The reappearance of the brilliant sun
sets which excited the wonder and curi
osity of the world last winter will give
the scientific men of the day further op
portunity to study this extraordinary phe
nomenon. This fall the western 9ky, about
sunset, appears to be even more beautiful
than ever. The sky, on fair evenings,
glows with splendid shades cf red and
crimson, as if a great fire was raging, and
it is not until long after the sun disap
pears that the hues, after fading to an
ever-paling pink, disappear from view.
The cause of this strange phenomenon
is as great a mystery as ever. The fanciful
theories about cosmic dust and volcanic
dust or gasses in the atmosphere do not
stand on any solid basis. Probably the
most plausibie theory so far advanced is
the one that it is electrical in
its origin, and is analogous to the
aurora borealis and the aurora
australis. Yet this appears to be erro
neous in view of the fact that there is no
coincidental disturbance of the telegraph
lines or the magnetic needles in sections
of country where the phenomenon is most
brilliant. It has been suggested that
there is some connection between the
crimson sunsets and the sun spots about
which the scientists now have so mujb
to say, but no satisfactory attempt has
been made to explain what that connec
tion is supposed to l>e.
Scientists may very properly apply
themselves to the task of finding out the
great secret of nature involved in the pro
duction of these after-glows, and ordi
nary mortals may enjoy the mysterious
beauty of the scenes, but there is no
reason for any alarm on the subject.
Probably similar glows have oc
curred during many periods in the world’s
history without attracting any special at
tention. although it is universally con
ceded that they are something very ex
traordinary in the present age.

It is useless for Blaine's friends to kick any
longer against the Mulligan letters and the
Hocking Valiev disclosure. They can still do
their candidate a good turn, however, by de
nying that William Walter Phelps is to be
Secretary of State if he is elected, and 31urat

were wholly free from the taint of corruption
he would not stand the ghost of a show with
such charges as these hanging over him.

Mr. Talhage, preaching in his Brooklyn

Ay Ohio business man who has been travel
ing through the South says : Mississippi and
Alabama are covered with mortgages from
one end to the other, and thev are both prac

custom of mortgaging their crops before they
are grown. The crops fail and they secure
their n>tes by a mortgage on their planta

and the result is that their estates have fallen
into the hands of their New Orleans brokers.

The casual observer while in New Orleans
•‘once upon a time" was struck by hearing as
a common expression, “You see through
mud ” The following is the explanation
given by an accomplished lady. While Gen.
Butler was commanding there during a por

need not be said, greatly hated and strongly
feared bv a large portion of the white inhabi
tants. One one occasion coming out of the St.

pale-faced, 10-vear-old urchin, in order to ob
tain a paper. The boy stopped and dragged
he pa‘i>-r through tlie running gutter near
him. aud handed the dripping an i dirtv sheet
to the autocrati' - commander. The General
was so astounded that he looked at the boy
and asked in a bewildered way. “Why did you
lo that? - ’ “Because you all see through mud,
anvhow,” replied the impudent lad, with a
-brill laugh. Some oue seized the noy, but
the General said, “Oh, let him go,’’ and the
phrase became a stock expression.

and then said: “What is the value of the St.

worth five roubles perhaps, but it is an honor
to pos-ess it.” “Well, ray General," calmly

Correspondence of the Morning Xetet.
Nkw York. Oct. 10.— The first of the
gay weddings wbich are to aid in making
noteworthy the fall in metropolitan soci
ety was celebrated a day or two ago at
Grace Church, Miss Leonie Jerome being
the bride and Mr. John Leslie, a son of
Sir John Leslie, of Ireland, the groom.
Scion and antecedents are among the
most noble in the realm and the flutters
which the nuptial event caused was per
ceptibly felt in aristocratic circles in the
United Kingdom. It was another in
stance of a titled foreigner capturing a
bewitching American heiress. The in
stance has the advantage over others
somewhat similar in that the groqnYs sole
claim for social notice uoes not lie in his
title. Mr. Leslie is reputed to have an
ample fortune at the back of his title and
social popularity. One of the accompani
ments of the wedding which has been
most discus % and is the magnificence of the
bridal trousseau. It is one of the most
elegant ai.d costly ever possessed by a
fair New Yorker." It is reputed tohave
cost, with its jewels, neaily $20,000.
Many of 31 is* Jerome’s friends and
acquaintances wished that it might have
been put on exhibition, like the trousseau
of Princesses and Queens of Germany.
3!ost of the dresses were made in 1 ans,
but one or two of the most beautiiul were
made in this country. Of course, going
into English aristocratic circles, elegant
costumes are indispensable, and Mr. Je
rome fitted out his daughter with almost
royal attire. Her eiening. dinner and re
ception dresses number 28. and besides
these there ere exquisite morning dresses,
court dresses, and tailor made walking
and traveling costumes. The undercloth
ing in the trousseau is made of the finest
linen, silk and cambric, and is trimmed
with real Y'alenciennes laces and hand
embroidery. Bonnets and shoes, as well
as gloves, match each costume, and her
handkerchiefs are of the finest materials.
On her first appearance at the Queen s
drawing room next spring she will wear
her wedJing dress of white satin and her
diamond jewels. One of her court dresses
is of pure white satin covered with roses
in silver orocade, while another is of
white satin brocade with heavy cluster
pearl embroidery on the front and about
the train. Both’of these dresses have full
court trains and low cut bodices with
short sleeves.
A NOTED HOTEL CLERK.
As if in keeping with the fame oi the
great caravansary fate has allotted to the
Fifth Avenue the honor of having the
handsomest and most popular hotel clerk
in the United States. Nearly every prom
inent person in America and many dis
tinguished foreigners have been at one
time or another allotted a room by the
gentleman in question, Mr. William 31.
Carr. While not the oldest in the city,
he certainlv has been behind the counter
of one institution longer than any other
clerk in the country, the 4th of next July
marking the twenty-fifth year of his con
nection with that house, during which
time he has witnessed the coming
and going of scores of assistants;
has worn out ten marb.e counters in as
signing the thousands of guests to apart
ments. and in receiving or passing
monev, kevs, etc. across them, while the
stone'floors in the corridor and two mar
ble staircases have been worn out by the
hundreds of thousands of feet that have
trod upon them during that time. Mr.
Carr was born in Newport. R. 1., about
45 years ago, being a great grandson of
Gov. Carr, of Rifiait, a*V?d- After a com

of 1858. The following year he engaged
himselt at the Sturtevant House in East
Boston, kept by a nephew of I’aran Ste
vens, and on July 4, 1860, at the earnest
request of 31r. Stevens, took his jxisition
behind the counter of the Fifth Avenue,
where he has ever since made himself
more and more popular. He looks
back with pride as he recounts
the Queens, Princes, Lords, Counts, 31ar
quises, Presidents and hundreds of other
prominent personages whom he has as
signed to rooms. He is a rather hand
some man, anti looks ten years younger
than he really is. There is ho haughtiness
in him, no immense diamonds in his shirt
front, and none oi the traits about him
that usually make a guest shrink before
the hotel clerk. On the contrary, he is
genial, polite, and engaging, and none
come within his range but to appreciate
him.
M’Ct'LLOCGH’S MISFORTUNE.
The news of John McCullough’s misfor
tune was received in social circles in this
city with as much sorrow as among the
actor’s professional friends. 31r. McCul
lough, during his appearance in the me
tropolis, was considerably lionized, and
became well known at the clubs and
at several private houses where he was
dined and shown many other courtesies.
Since his arrival here a day or two
ago, he has been the recipient ol
innumerable tokens of the esteem
and sympathy which his friends
in the city have for him. His apartments
are never without a lavish supply of
flowers, and many are the sweet-scented
notes he receives from his fair lady friends
and admirers. No one, however, took his
misfortune more deeply to heart than
Miss Kate Forsythe, the beautiful lead
ing lady who so successfully supported
him in his roles during several seasons in
and out of the city. The lady has not yet
recovered from the prostration which she
suffered when she heard of her former co
worker’s misfortune. Miss Forsythe was
at the theatre when the news "was re
ceived of his breaking down, and is said
to have been taken home in a fainting
condition. She said yesterday to a friend
that the last time she saw Mr. McCul
lough play, which wa6 at the Star Theatre
last season, she noticed a marked differ
ence in his acting, and instinctively felt
that something was wrong, hut never
dreamed that he was on the verge of so
serious an illness. Miss Forsythe
would have been with Mr. 3lcCulloug-h
this season had her health been sufficiently
good to withstand the strain of 40 weeks’
traveling. The grief of 31 iss Forsythe re
calls the sad death of Harry 31ontague,
who died in San Francisco, five years ago,
while starring in “Diplomacy.” 3lon
tague w\ll be remembered as one of the
most popular leading men who ever
played in New York. At the time of his
death one could not step into a parlor
without seeing his handsome face encased
in a beautiful frame. And if a young lady
could secure his autograph she was de
lighted. Montague, who had made a
great success in “Diplomacy” at AVai
lack’s Theatre, decided to take the piece
to San Francisco with himself as star.
While crossing the Rocky 31ountains he
contracted a heavy cold on his lungs, and
though forbidden by his physicians to ap
pear on the opening night, he did so,
and while he managed to get through
with his part he grew rapidly worse. On
the second night he again appeared, but
in the second act was attacked
with hemorrhage of the lungs
and about his last words were
“Ring down the curtain.” Two days
afterwards the wires brought the news of
his death. In his company at the time
were Misses Maud Granger and Jeffreys
Lewis. So grief-stricken were they that
Miss Granger went into mourning for a
year and Miss Lewis vowed her intention
of never again appearing in public.
A NEW INDUSTRY.
Anew branch of industry has been
opened up, and a capital opportunity for
turning an honest penny afforded by an
inquisitive Englishman, who advertises
for marriage statistics, including ’very
detail relating to all matrimonial condi
tions except the rarest of all, a happy
and peaceful marriage. This curicus gen
tleman begs for information regarding
“peculiar marriagej,” those between per
sons of different stations or races, second
and third marriages, or those contracted
very soon alter the death of the husband
or wife; also of unhappy or uncongenital
alliances, and those where the discrep
ancy of age is remarkable. The most
astonishing part of the advertisement is
that the writer proposes to pay liberally
for what he learns, from which it is fair
to conclude that he must be either a lu
natic or a Rothschild.
A PEDESTAL CARNIVAL.
Over a year ago Frank P.Pease, of Buf
falo, wrote to William 31. Evarts, Chair
man of the Bartholdi Statue Pedestal
Fund Committee, offering to superintend
a carnival in this city of the same char
acter as have proved 6uch successes else
where. The offer was not accepted at
once, but latterly, as subscriptions begin
to lag and the statue is about to be ship
ped to this country, the committee seems
to be more in favor of listening to the sug
gestion. With proper management, there
can be no doubt of its financial success.
The metropolis offers special advantages
for it if popular interest can be awakened
and proper social patronage can be se
cured. No less a sum than $175,000 was
raised by means somewhat similar to
wards the building fund of St. Patrick's
Cathedral at Buffalo, while the record of
the carnival proper is equally remark
able in other cities. Only $125,000 is
needed for the Bartholdi pedestal, and
this could tie easily made in the city, if
one may judge by previous experience.
The place is furnished by the Seventh
Regiment armory, and the social and ma
terial help of that “crack” regiment
could safely be counted upon. The carni
val would be held under the direct aus
pices of New Y'ork ladies, but the ladies
of America would he represented and
would be ready with their personal co
operation if called upon. The pedestal is
going up at the rate of 2 feet in three
days, and could be completed by Novem
ber if the funds were raised. So far the
total amount paid in is $150,000, of which
Brooklyn has contributed the magnificent
sum of $4,000 and Jersey City $9,000.^
