Those who think Hawkinsvtlle was swamped in the recent blow are mistaken. It is still on deck, and not a cold poker deck at that. The Birmingham people may as well prepare another transparency for Col. A. K. McClure. How would “Protection. Pig iron and Presumption” suit them ? In Baltimore it is proposed to organize a Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Oystermen. as the charter of Mr. Kerch's societies will not allow them to waste their money on any creature below the brute. An exchange says it takes a pretty smart phrenologist to tell what is in a barrel by examining its head. This is a mistake. When properly examined the bead will always let out a sample of the contents. A Delaware man has wagered JIOO that be can eat fifteen 12-pound turkeys in 30 days and is confident he can win the money. He is probably a brother to the man who ate a boiled donkey and a cart load of “greens.” Adj. Gen. Drum is said to be an ad vocate of Gen. Howard’s plan to brand all deserters from the army with a hot iron. If this is true Adj. Gen. Drum would make a model captain for a Balti more oyster boat. It is about time for the GeD. firant financial question to be settled, and tho country given a rest on that subject. It appears to be very much like a dry cow hide—when it is pressed down on one side it will spring up on the other. Anew swindling dodge is being played in New York and other cities. The swind lers propose to give lessons in crystal painting to ladies and get their pay in ad vance. Of course they never give any lessons that are worth anything. As might have been expected the crime of the youthful train robbers on the Penn sylvania Railroad is charged up to the reading of dime novels. It would be more just, no doubt, to attribute it to a sparing of the rod in their boyhood days. A Staten Island man was frozen while drunk the other night. After being put in a coffin for burial he raised up and asked for a drink of liquor, and then fell back dead. A notable instance of “the ruling passion, strong in death.” Senator-elect Payne is to respond at the Jacksonian banquet in Columbus, 0.. to morrow to the toast: “The Future Policy or Mission of the Democracy.” It is to be hope 1 he wont work in any racket about petroleum, pig-iron and protection. Another Connecticut lady has come up with a set of spoons, said to have been made by President-elect Cleveland's father. Gen. Butler does not propose to buy them to add to his historical col lection of silverware, wooden mugs, etc. Americans have long been accused of exporting watered stocks. Now it is said that they have sent a cargo of watered coal oil to Syria, and that it won’t burn. The watered stocks never failed to burn every one that touched them. The introduction or the bamboo in the Southern States is urged, and it is thought that it will flourish as well here as in China or Japan. Its peculiar value for many purposes for which other woods are not adapted makes its introduction very desirable. . Mrs. Frank Leslie thinks it a shame that the newspapers should print so much gossip about the Marquis de Leuville. So it is. It the Marquis can convince such a shrewd business lady as Mrs. L. that his title is genuine and paid for by his re mote ancestors, it is nobody else’s busi ness. The West Pointers in the army want it distinctly understood that ex-l’aymaster Smyth is not one of them, and that be was appointed to bis fat place from civil life. It does look like army paymasters ought to be selected from army officers. There are certainly enough of the latter to fill all such places. Many theories are advanced about the last dynamite explosion in a London rail way tunnel. As many pieces of brass and some shreds of American cloth were found on the scene of the explosion, the conclusion is irresistible that the disaster was caused by a New York drummer spring oft half cocked. Rev. Mr. Moody having published a card denying that he ever spoke disre spectfully of Gens. Lee and Jackson, and stating that he regarded them as C'hristian gentlemen, the Richmond gentlemen who made the charge against him propose to bring out the proof. Probably there was a misunderstanding somewhere. They are raising a big row at Denver, liecause some farmers’ wives bought oleo margarine at 20 cents per pound and mixed it with their butter, for which they obtained 40 cents per pound. The Denver ites don’t mind being swindled by their grocers, but they don’t want to encourage Tinners’ wives to put on city airs. In some portions of Western Texas thousands of sheep perished from cold during the polar wave of last week. One ranchman is said to have lost about 3,000 head. It is stated that where the sheep were well attended the loss was very small, as in such cases they were always driven into well sheltered localities, where the force of the wind was broken by the hills and timber. John Swinton received hundreds of an swers to his circular stating that his pa per would have to suspend unless it should be better sustained in the future than it had been in the past. The letters all contained expressions ef encourage ment and sympathy, but very little cash. While Swinton is a very talented man, it is feared that he will not be able to pay his bills with expressions of encourage ment andympathy. After 33 weeks in the Ludlow street, New York, jail, Miss Becky Jones, the recalcitrant witness in the Hammerslcy will case, finds herself in better health than ever before in her life, and as deter mined as ever not to tell what she knows about the testator. She will not have a cat or dog as a companion, but passes her time in sewing, knitting, writing oc her book, and doing missionary work among the other prisoners. It is about time for the heartless old Judge to let her out. At Chicago a colored man appeared on the stage at one of Lulu Hurst’s perform ances, for the purpose of testing her won derful power. Both Papa Hurst and Manager Atkinson were perfectly willing to admit that the colored man was alto gether too strong for Lulu. Doubtless Lulu would have reached that conclusion herself if she bad pushed him around the stage until she got him pretty well warmed up. The colored man was highly indig nant because he was not permitted to try jus strength with the Georgia wonder. Getting at the Truth. The Springer committee, which is in vestigating the charges against united States Marshal Wright, of Ohio, is dis covering seme very startling facts lhe impression is very strong that the Repub lican managers arranged to carry the October election in Ohio by force, and that Marshal Wright was their chief in strument. A Republican victory in Ohio in October, in their opinion, meant the election of their Presidential candidate in November. Marshal Wright will not, of course, disclose anything that will place his party friends in an unfavorable light be fore the country if be can help it. He admits, however, that he appointed 1,300 special deputy marshals in Cincin nati. and that they were all Republicans. He also admits that he did not know whether they were men of good or bad character, and that they were armed. In fact, he says that 600 revolvers were sent to him from New \ork to be dis tributed among these deputy marshals, and that they were distributed. Who furnished the pistols? On that point Marshal Wright is not clear in his testimony. He admits enough, however, to leave no doubt that they were furnished by the Republican National Committee. Is there another instance in the history of the country where a national committee furnished arms to a hastily collected force of government officials to be used at an election? What was it that it was proposed that these 1,300 deputy marshals in Cincin nati should do? Was it not proposed that they should attempt to keep away from the polls as many Democrats as possible, and assist the Republicans in getting their ballots in ballot-boxes? There Is no other reasonable explanation of the ap pointment and arming of so many irre sponsible deputy marshaled The Republican managers played a very dangerous game. It is remarkable that more lives were not lost on election day in Cincinnati than there was. The people were highly incensed at the con duct of the Federal officials in filling the streets and surrounding the ballot-boxes with arm'Hl roughs, and with a very little encouragement they would have attacked them. What the result would have been it is easy to guess. There would have been a bloody riot, and many lives might have been lost and much property de stroyed. Early in the oampaign, when it was said that the Republican managers were desperate, and that they would not hesi tate to use any means to secure success, there were few who believed the state ment. Does not the testimony of Marshal Wright show that it was true? That the Republican managers employed a part of their campaign fund in purchasing arms and ammunition, and that they found Federal officials ready to use these arms and obey their orders, are facts that go a long way to prove that greater outrages on the ballot-box were contemplated than the public suspect. And yet this party that is now being proven to have contemplated carrying the late election by force and fraud is all the time crying out for a free ballot and a fair count. It is a good thing that it has been beaten and that It will soon be out of power. It had become a dangerous party. Had it retained possession of the govern ment a while longer it is probable that it would never have yielded to the will of the people expressed at the ballot-box. It would have attempted to have held on to tae government at any cost. Mr. Bayard and the Cabinet. Mr. Bayard, it is said, is being strongly urged to remain in the Senate. No one doubts that if he has not been offered a placed in the Cabinet already he will be. 1 n fact, there is every reason to think that he can have his choice ol the Cabinet po sitions. There are several reasons for re maining where he is. One is that he has more experience In Congressional work than any other Democrat in the Senate, hiving been a member ot that body nearly sixt<?en years. He would, of course, be recognized as the spokesman of the administration on the floor of Con gress, and that would be as proud a po sition as he would occupy if he were in the Cabinet. It is expected also that Sen ator Garland will be offered a Cabinet sltion, and if both he and Bayard should go into the Cabinet the Demorats would be deprived of two of their ablest and most experienced men in the Senate. There are several Senators on the Re publican side who have had a larger Congressional experience than any of tho Democratic Senators. They are all men of ability, and will use their talents and experience in attacking the administration. The administration will have need of the services of its ablest friends in the Senate and House to meet these attacks. There is another reason advanced why Mr. Bayard should remain in the Senate, which is personal. It is that he can remain in the Senate the re mainder of his life if desires, and he will 6tand as good, if not a better chance of reaching the Presidency from that posi tion than from the Cabinet. Of course Mr. Bayard will do what he thinks is best for the interests of his party and tor his own interests, but there is no doubt that it is the general wish of the country that he should become Mr. Cleveland’s chief adviser. Mr. Cleveland has had very little experience in national affairs, and for a time at least he will need someone close to him in whose judgment, experience and fidelity he can place the utmost confidence. Who is there who could serve him better than Mr. Bayard? On tho success ot Mr. Cleveland’s administration will depend largely the success of the Democratic party in 18ns. It is important, therefore, that 31r. Cleveland should surround him self with advisers who would not be likely to make grave mistakes. Deserted by His Friends. The New York World , which was a rampant protection paper during the late campaign, and is yet for all that the public knows to the contrary, cannot abandon Democratic principles to such an extent as to support Mr. Randall’s proposition to abolish the internal revenue system. It says: “But when Mr. Randall proposes to accomplish the reduction of taxes by abolishing the excise on whisky we differ from him. and courteously argue against his proposition in favor of a re duction which shall lessen the cost of the necessaries of life to the poor man.” When the World abandons Mr. Ran dall it is not easy to discover where he finds support and sympathy for his free whisky scheme except among the Republican protection papers like the Philadelphia Press and the New York Tribune. There arc a few Demo cratic journals in the South that support his free whisky scheme, but it is notice able that they haven’t been as belligerent lately as they were a little while ago. They begin to realize, perhaps, that the Southern people are not yet ready to tax themselves heavily for those things which are absolutely necessary for their com fort and for the development of thetr seo tion, in order that the country may have free whisky, and certain manufacturers in the North may continue to enjoy the benefits of great monopolies. The Re publican press is speaking of Mr. Ran dall’s trip in glowing terms. It has good reason to do so, because the doctrine of which it is the champion has no better friend than Mr. Randall. A few of Mr. Randall’s admirers say that he intends to make a fight against Mr.* Carlisle for the Speakership of the next House. They ought to have more consideration for him than to make 6uch a statement. A little inquiry and the ex ercise of a reasonable amount of judg ment would show them that Mr. Randall, in a contest for the Speakership with Mr. Carlisle. would not stand as good chance for success as he did in the contest a year or more ago. Mr. Randall must change his views on the tariff if he wants to be honored by the Democratic party. The Russian Nihilists have reason to apprehend a terrible fate, in comparison with which Siberian exile will be as noth ing. It is reported that the Czar is to be crowned next year as Emperor of Central Asia,.and no doubt preparations will be beguA at once for the distribution among the pi>ple of several million pies.

Bishop Lyman, of North Carolina, is out with a strong remonstrance against what he characterizes a# “the sweeping condemna tion of a colored clergy," by Rev, Hugh Mil, ler Thompson, Assistant Bishop of the diocese of Mississippi. The latter had declared that it would never do for the Episcopal courch to choose its spiritual teachers from among that class, because of the “ignorance and super stition” which prevail among them; now the former declares that in his own State (North Carolina} he “has found the experiment of admitting colored men to the ministry a very encouraging one,” and “most of them are ac tive, efficient, zealous and loyal church workers.” “It is a fearful reflection upon the race," he adds, "to intimate that they cannot be trained and qualified for tbe gospel ministry.” He also expresses surprise at what the Assistant Bishop of Mississippi has written’ on this subject, “because, with all the other bishops of the South, he has added his name to the appeal which was made at the cioseofthe last general convention, asking for funds to help forward the good work at St. Augustine’s Normal School and Theologi cal Department, Duck-hunting along the Brandywine has been fairly good this season. A waggish young man recently had a goose made of wood and painted white. As soon as the paint was dry he took it out at night and placed it in the Brandywine. It was soon dis covered by a gunner, who tired at it, appa rently without the slightest effect. He fired again and again until a thought struck him. He suddenly went to see a friend of his, also considered a good marksman, and with the most serious of faces enticed him down to the bridge, pretended to notice the goose and induced his friend to shoot. This man, too, fired several shots. They were not ced by others, who, suspecting the appearance of an unusual quantity of game in the neighborhood, took their guns down to the river and popped away. As one shooter after another hegau to suspect a sell somewhere, he pretended to be very inno cently anxious to kill the goose. The acting of the dissemblers was so good that some of tnc best sportsmen were deceived, until the original perpetrator of the joke, thinking it was too good to keep, told a friend who had asked him why there was so much firing on the river bank. The single expression “wild goose” suffices just now to make the average Coateeville sportsman mad as a hornet. BIUGHT BITS.

Rice and the Spanish Treaty. Editor Morning yews: Will not the proposition stated in the News ot Dec. 21 that the Spanish treaty would open a near market for the export of rice from this country be found to be, upon examination, purely an illusion? 1 beg to submit the following endeavor to demonstrate this: Like most of the advantages promised to the United States by that treaty—with which to offset the unquestionable"bounty of twenty-five or more millions of dollars annually from us to the sugar growers of Cuba and Porto Rico—this export trade in rice is on its face problematical. In reality, it is less than “the baseless fabric of a vi-ion,” and one of those deceptions which seem to be essential parts of all such schemes wherein our own proper questions of revenue are made the sub jects of “dicker” with foreign powers. Why is there now absolutely no export trade from this country to any other country in rice, whether subject to for eign duty or admitted free? The answer comes immediately upon making a com parison of our market prices of home grown and foreign rice. The last New York quotations are: Home Grown— Carolina and Louisiana, common to prime, per pound 4^@6o. Carolina and Louisiana, choice 6‘. s @ojsC. Foreign — Rangoon, duty paid, per pound .. Paths, duty paid Java, duty paid The truth is, we are far from producing an overplus of this staple for export. AU we grow finds its best market at home, where it is protected by a duty per pound, which at the same time admits enough of coolie-grown rice to make up ia lacking in our home supply. Last year we imported "9,737,409 pounds of foreign rice, of which 14,774.348 pounds, or nearly one-fifth, came free of duty from the Hawaiian Islands. But to form an idea of the position our Southern rice would occupy in the Cuban market under tne Spanish treaty, take the la9t navana quotations of the coolie, grown rice, viz 1 Rangoon rials per arrobe, equal to 3 Pvr pound, duty paid. Patna iu(isloJ4 rials per arrobe, equal to 5@ 5Uc. per pound, duty paid. Java not quoted, Now, with a home value of 4%@6%0. lor the range of common to choice Caro lina and Louisiana, how often would a shipment to the Spanish West Indies be repeated if one should be made. 1 think it very plain that not one pound of our rice would be exported by reason of the treaty, The Cuban duty ou rice, which Spain makes a merit of "surrendering in our fa vor, is comparatively a light one, being about one-half a cent per pound on un clean and seven-eights of a cent per pound on cleaned. What the customs administration in Cuba is, may be infer red from the published account of the laugh provoked on the occasion of a re cent explanation of the treaty to an as sembly of business men in New York, when the question was asked if it w'as supposed that every barrel of flour im ported into (Juba paid full duty? Think of negotiating a treaty on the basis of a tariff which is openly laughed at! No, our rice growers certainly have no cause to listen to the voice of the recip rocity treaty maker, charm he others never so wisely. The Hawaiian treaty ought to satisfy them, having under its stimulus of free rice ffom the Sandwich islands alone increased the rice crop there 300 per cent, in five and a half years. The question of renewing that treaty would seem to interest them rather than the ratification of the Spanish treaty, though all such experiments with our revenue laws are to be depreciated.
