A Chicago woman, with a four-months-
old baby at the breast, is n delegate to
the Knights of Labor ♦convention in
Nichmond. In order for the mother to
get into the hall with her baby it was
necessary to make the infant a member
of the order. This child may be said to
he the youngest knight on record—
though a Rood many youngsters of the
same age have been heard from o' nights.
That was a strong point wiiioli Gov
ernor Pattison, of Pennsylvania, made
before the 30,000 listeners at the York
county fair—that if the coal men could
legally conspire to reduce the output an
increase prices, ho could the farmers com
bine to limit the acreage of grain, and
thus make their own market figures.
Anil, by the same token, if such coal
combinations may ruthlessly crush out
any independent operator who refuses to
go into their ring, why may not labor
organizations crush out independent
workingmen who take their places during
strikes? Should not sauce for the goose
he sauce for the gander, also?
Ex-President Uonzai.os, of Mexico,
who is reported to have been assassi
nated, was one of the brave soldiers
whom tile war with France brought to
the front and made a political leader, lie
was an exceptionally cnterprisingsoldier,
and from a private in the ranks won a
general’s commission, lie lost an arm ,
during (lie struggle, (ion/,ales displayed I
a good deal of capacity ns a civil ruler, ;
hut his presidency fell upon evil times, j
when Mexico was too poor ,o support :i£
efficient government. lie was u thorough
patriot, and deserved a I letter fate Ilian
that which so often falls to political lead
ers in that revolutionary country. I
I’nth. this year public faith in sea sev- !
pent stories was lav from being strong !
and steadfast. The narratives of those
who have claimed to have seen the rep
tile, and who not iinfroqueiitlv described
it so accurately as to leave little room for j
real doubt, were received with a great
many grains of allowance, however high
the reputation of the narrators for truth
fulness. To-day thcreare fewer skeptics,
for the reason mainly that the sea ser
pent has been seen in waters hitherto
strangers to it, and Ivy so many persons
whose description of it tallied in ail es- ^
sentiul respects, a* to leave no tangible
ground for disbelievers to stand upon. In )
a woid, there is a very general belief that j
the serpent is a veritable creature, not a
myth, and the next thing to he done w ii! j
be the capture of the interesting creature. !
The misfortune is that it makes its ap
pearance at such unexpected times and
places that those who get a sight of it are j
without preparation for pursuit and at- !
tack. One of these days it will turn up
in the vicinity of somebody who is pro- I
pared to give chase and battle, and we j
shall have the mystery that has hitherto j
surrounded it solved.
WHY vvr TK.1,1. THE TKVTIt t
The persistent denials that Lord Ran
dolph Churchill has been to Berlin,
Bre«den or Vienna are succeeded by the
rumor that lie is on itis way to Rome.
State craft, and diplomacy is simply the
art of lying. Common sense will teach
anybody that Churchill has gone to the
capitals of Germany, Vienna and Italy
to assure himself and his government as
to tlie attitude of these powers in the
coining conflict with Russia, and to court
an alliance with all these powers as a
last guarantee of the peace of Europe.
Diplomacy says that Churchill is tra vel
ing for pleasure, for his health or to hear
some new operas. There is some virtue
about truth. It is easy, it is rational; it
can stand alone. But lying is preferred
because it is apparently safe and costs
nothing. And yet there is not a great
war on record which might not have
been averted if the truth had been
spoken in season, and there is not posi
tively a case on record where lying avert
ed a war.
RKPLRMCAX CONVENTIONS.
I From the reports that come in from
the republican conventions that have re
cently met in the different parts of the
j union, it 1h evident that tho best certifi
cate of membership that a man can ex-
! hibit to a republican convention is a pair
of brass knucks and a slung-sliot. The
well known fact that the democracy
! represents the capital.and culture of the
j south, and tho republican party its rng-
! tag and bob-tail element is illustrated in
I two conventions—one of each party—
which recently assembled in Mt. Bleas-
: ant, Berkeley county, S. C. The demo
cratic convention has already been de-
! scribed in these columns. Jt was' a
model of decorum, firmness and fairness.
The republican convention assembled
last week. There was “a childc aiming
cm takin’ notes,”—a lone democrat—in
the person of Lewis A. Beaty, an irre
pressible Palmetto State reporter, whose
caustic pen has made more than one re
publican convention the laughing stock
of the state. Here is a section of Beaty’s
description of the assemblage of the
‘‘trooly loil,” in Mt. Pleasant lost week,
or rather of what he, in his picturesque
phraseology, terms the “Bob-Tailed
Skeleton” :
The voting was “viva voce.” Captain H. W.
Hendricks was nominated for sheriff and Mr. J.
H. Ostendorff for clerk of court, almost without
opposition. At least so it seemed from tho win
dow nearest the chairman’s desk; but in the
back end of the hall opposition was shouted out,
that never reached the auditory nerves of the
tellers or the chair. Then a short recess for ‘-re
freshments” was taken.
When the delegates returned from their “re
freshments" they were indeed refreshed—in the
lungs and legs. Daniel T. Middleton was rushed
through for school commissioner, and the con*
voutiou then settled down—or rather stood up
and shouted—to the election of representatives.
Killy-five men, very black and very much excited,
jumped to their feet when nominations were
culled for, and shouted in a breath; “Mister
cliuirman 1” and they remained up long enough
to call about fifty-five times apiece, each time a
little louder, before they begau to sit down again,
Tliose at the back end and middle part ot the
hall were growing hotter each moment at the
luck of attention shown them, and those in
front were growing more proud of themselves
and their importance at eacli shout. Tito rear
members finally subsided, but not so with the
vuu guard; they crowded around the desk,
painting their fingers in little Mr. OstendoriTs
face until it seemed that his eyes were doomed ;
and they pushed anti screamed, and bellowed
and sweated, and cursed, until it s emed that
tlie scene bad been transferred from Qiaretti’s
barroom loft to a lower world, and all the devils
were after Oslendorlf. Bui the ex-deputy col
lector of the port of Charleston had seen such
tilings before, and he was hardened to it.
SENATOR Yl'LEK.
(in Monthly last- ex-ITnited States Sen
ator David L. Yulce, of Florida, died in
Washington city. His career lias been a
remarkable one. In some respects it is
so unique that it is safe to say it will
never lie repeated. He was a member of
the lower house ot congress under one
name and a member of the senate under
another. In middle life lie changed his
name from Levy to Ytilce, the maiden
name of his mother, lie did this, it is
said, on account of a quarrel with his
father. Mr. Yulee lived to tho ripe age
of four score years, and Ids life was a
busy and brilliant one. When Florida
speeded he resigned in the senate and
vowed he would never mingle in pontic-
or even vote again. lie kept his
word. Ilts colleague from Florida,
Senator .lohn Wcseott, resigned at the
same time and registered an oath that
lie would never live in the Tidied States
again, lie kept his word. He went In
Canada and remained there, where lie
died in I88B. Mr. Yulee returned to
Florida and during the war and ever '
since he has busied himself with railway |
enterprises. Me became very wealthy j
and leaves an estate valued at SJ,fl00,- I
non. Mr. Yulee was an Israeliti li
man of tlie highest order.,
He was one of that type of j
.lews who have honored every profession j
they have entered and every country i
that has trusted them with its high |
places of state. If Mr. Yulee had chosen
lie might have kept pace with that 1
princely rebel and incomparable states i
man, Judah I'. Benjamin, whose fame |
ha -arched the oceans liken rainbow and
shed its radiance on either shore. But j
while Mr. Yulee forsook polities forever,
he never forsook itis people. In private j
life he became dearer to Floridians j
than lie had ever been before.
David !.. Yulee was flesh, and he had
tlie passions with which flesh is pepper
ed. But often, if not every time, he mas
tered his spirit with mightier el forts than
are required to take a eitv. But his rest
less pulse is quiet now : his binv brain is
a dark and senseless void, and there’s
dust on tlie eloquent lips. In life his
walk was dignified, pure, elephantine and
path-finding: And now that he has
walked out into tho echoless and view
less beyond, we know it is well with him
in the country to which he has gone. He
lias passed away and people say he is
dead, when they mean he lias just begun
to live.
Tiik impression seems to prevail in
London that war in the east is almost in
evitable. “There is still a possibility of
averting a resort to force.” says the
Times. That there is a probability of a
peaceful conclusion of the Bulgarian
crisis the Thunderer will riot undertake
to say. The Standard thinks “an out
break of hostilities is a probable contin
gency.” The elections in Bulgaria ap
pear to leave Russia nothing to hope
from the voluntary action of the people,
the numbers in the new sobranje favora
ble to the czar’s programme being but 41,
while 4SO members are opposed to it.
Tlie czar has all along contended that
elections held at the present time, while
the government has a number of the op-
position in prison for participation in tlie j
dethronement con:piracy, will not fairly j
indicate the people’s choice, and that ho j
will not recognize any act ion of a sobranje j
now chosen as valid. As the regency, in !
bolding the elections when it did and in
trying the conspirators against the head
of the state, has kept strictly within the j
lines of tlie Bulgarian constitution, the!
czar’s threat is remarkable. Whether it
was an empty one will soon appear.
Tub Roadinaster’s Association of Amor-!
icn, which held its fourth annual session
in St. Louis last week, elected ('apt. J. W.
Craig road master of the Charleston and
Savannah railroad, president of the asso
ciation for the ensuing year. This honor
will bo gracefully worn by Mr. Craig, who
is one of the most thorough railroad men
in the south, and a cultured gentleman in
every sense of the word. Capt. Craig has
always been noted for his courtesies to
tlie press, and his rise in his profession
and the high distinction he has achieved
will he a source of gratification to the
many journalists who have, at different
times, fallen into his hands.
The Columbus Business School has
night sessions if a sufficient number of
students desire it. It heats keno to
death.
The break down of the Republican Taylor
brother on the stump in Tennessee is a precursor
of what will happen at tlie polls.
. In Rhode Island the nomination of prohibi-
bition candidates for congress bids fair to make
it very close work for the republicans to elect
their men.
Pnop. Wiggins might have predicted the storm
which iias just devastated southern Texas and
played havoc along the northern lakes, but his
mind isconcentrated on earthquakes just now. I
Since the New Zealand upheaval a green cres- !
cent moon hay been seen from that country. Ail
doubt ns to the fact that the moon is made of
green cheese is thus destroyed.
Speakino of Mi. Blaine’s proposed second can- i
didacy, Rob Ingersoll reminds the republicans of [
Mr. Lincoln's saying, that “Itis hard to shoot |
twice with the same powder.”
Baron voh Pa huh was in clover the other day. I
He owns tlie far-famed Faber pencil factory at!
Nuernberg, and was celebrating the 125th anni
versary of its founding. Hundreds of congrntu- j
lalory telegrams, written with “Fuber’s,” reach- j
ed him. |
One Peekskill editor says of another: “The
contemptible pup who joined St. Peter’s church
one week for patronage, was elected a lay reader
the next and celebrated the event on the third
by getting gloriously drunk, and who, if report is
true, lias not been sober since, ngain assails us in
his miserable apology oi a sheet.” Talk about
western journalism!
The New York Tribune complains that every
republican member of the legislature who voted
to submit a prohibitory amendment In that state
finds himself opposed by a prohibition candidate.
The prohibitionists, howover, plainly announce
that they are working for the third party and
not for tlie republicans or democrats.
What constitutes an attractive neighborhood
vary- in different localities. A stranger desirous
of locating in a Texas town endeavored to pur
chase a residence from u leading citizen hut
thought the price too high. “Too high!” yelled
the owner, “too high, with three saloons at
regular intervals on the road to church, a peach
orchard, with a fence easy to get over, close at
hand, and there hasn't been a policeman seen in
the neighborhood for the last two years! Why,
stranger, it doesn’t look to me like you was try
ing to become one of us.”

HEWITT’S LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE.

Which Cull Duly fiend to I'uiveraal I’ovorty

New York, October 16.—Abram S. Hew
itt, the nominee of the united democracy
of this city for mayor, has accepted the
nomination. In his letter of acceptance,
which is made public this evening, lie says
iu substance that, while his personal
preference would be to continue iu the
sphere of action in which, as a representa
tive in congress, he bus labored for many
years to promote the substantial interests
of New York, he cannot but accept
the nomination, so unanimously tendered,
because of trie new issue which has sud-
denlsprung up in New York city, viz:
An attempt to organize one class of citi-
z. ns against all other classes, and to place
the government, of the city in the hands of
men willing'to represent the interests of
this class to the exclusion of the just rights
of all others. “The idea which'underlies
this movement,” Mr. Hewitt says, “is at
w .r with the fundamental principles upon
which our government was organized and
res s."
Mr. Hewitt then goes into a long review
of the injury which'would result to tlie in
terests of the country ami stability of its
institutions if the results of the election
would show any strength of this move
ment with regard to organization of trades
unions ai d other labor organizations. Mr.
Hewitt says they should be encouraged, so
that their grievances and demands may be
.submitted to public judgment and met by
appropriate legislative remedies.
“The organized movement now made,”
continues Mr. Hewitt, “for the hist time,
against the methods of political action ap
proved by the experience of a century of
steady progress, and under which tlie
country has enjoyed a measure of prosper
ity heretofore unknown to the human
race, must be clearly sustained or emphat
ically condemned by the people or this
city, which is as much the metropolis of
the United States as Athens was the ‘Eye
of Greece.’ ”
In conclusion Mr. Hewitt says: “I feel
it my duty to take my alloted'part as the
candidates of the citizens who are in favor
of law, order and progress, according to
the methods approved by our past expe
rience, against the advocates of the policy
miscalled progress, which can only lead to
universal poverty and general ruin.”
In strong contrast to Hewitt’s delibera
tion iu taking time to consider well the
nomination was Roosevelt’s indecent haste
in hurrying around to the Union League
dub this hiorning and accepting his chance
before it was cold.
At. a meeting of the leaders of Irving
Hall to-night it was resolved to support
Henry George for mayor.
