Is He The Man
Senator Bayard Speak, of the situation.
Interview in the New York World.
“Senator, suppose you were called
upon to permit the use of your name as
a candidate before the next National
Convention, what should you say?’’
“What I said when the question was
put to me previous to the last conven
tion, I said then to my friends ; ‘It
is all important to carry New York in
this campaign. It you believe I can
carry the State of New York more cer
tainly than any other who may be
named, you. may use my name of
course, but it is your duty to go for the
man who is in your judgment strong
est in that State; that,’ added the Sen
ator, ‘is my position to-day. The con
vention in 1876 chose Mr. Tilden, and
Mr. Tilden, despite all the prejudices
agaiust him, did carry the State of New
York and was elected President of the
United States. At the next convention,
if my friends should think that with
me they are more likely to achieve
success than with any other man, I
ought not to refuse and will not refuse
to be a candidate. I have never Bought
office and never shall; neither have I
affected to decline office. I have never
spent any money to obtain office. I
never shall. I think I may say witbout
vanity that I have the confidence of my
own people, Republicans as well as
Democrats. I know that men of my
own party from whom I have differed
in views have given roe credit for act
ing according to my honest conviction
of what was right, with no bias in fa
vor of any section. I have tried to
take the broad ground that the good of
the whole country, must be studied
and not the interest of any particular
locality,’ ”.
Net long ago a well-known collector
of curiosities in PariB, who bad devoted
considerable sums of money to the gath
ering together of bank notes of all coun
tries and all values, became the posses
sor of a Bank of England five-pound
note, to which an unusually strange
story was attached. This note was paid
into a Liverpool merchant’s office in the
ordinary way of business sixty-one
years ago, and its recipient, the cashier
of the firm, while holding it up to the
light to test its genuineness, noticed
some faint red marks upon it, which, on
closer examination^ proved to be semi-
effaced words, scrawled in blood be
tween the printed lines and upon the
blank margin of- the note. Extraordi
nary pains were taken to decipher these
partly obliterated characters, and event
ually the following sentence was made
out: “If this note should fall into the
hands of John Dean, of Longbill, near
Carlisle, he will learn hereby that bis
brother is languishing a prisoner in Al
geria.” Mr, Dean was promptly com
municated with by the holder of the
note, and he appealed _ to the govern
ment of the day for Assistance in his en
deavor to obtain his brother’s release
from cap ivity. The prisoner, who, as
it subsequently appeared, had traced
the above sentence upon the note with
a splinter of wood dipped in his own
blood, had been a slave to the Dey of
Algiers for eleven years, when his
strange missive first attracted attention
in a Liverpool counting house, _ His
family and friends had long believed
him dead. Eventually his brother,
wi.h the aid of the British authorities
in the Mediterranean, succeeded in ran
soming him from the Dey, and brought
him home to England, where he did not
long survive his release, his constitution
having been irreparably injured by ex
posure, privations and forced labor in
the Dey’s galleys.
Lotteries are said to have been first
employed by the Genoese Government
as a means of aiding its revenue. The
pernicioUB example was speedily follow
ed by other States, nearly all of whioh
have adopted lotteries, at some time or
other, to increase their income. While
they have achieved this eud, they have
not only robbed the working communi
ty of their hard earnings, they have
lessened their habit of labor and thrift,
by creating false hopes of sudden and
handsome gains. Between 1816 and
1828, France derived from lotteries an
nnuual income of 14,000,000 francs;
but forty-three ago they were suppressed,
and the year following a large increase
of deposits was found in the savings
banks of the country.
The Paris Temps gives some particu
lars ot the ravages of cholera in Japan
The epidemic appeared last April in the
disiriot of Ehime, where the tnmbs ot
soldiers who fell victims to it 18/7 had
been opened, partly for religious rites
and partly for the more becoming in
terment of men hastily buried during
the war. In a week 45 out of 6o cases
proved fatal. It extended to other
points, and at Osaka it is not uncommon
to see persons fall down in the streets,
struck by it. _
An Arizona Judge has just shown his
appreciation of modem improvements
in firearms by shooting and killing an
editor. The editor’s partner immedi
ately shot the magistrate and was him
self waylaid and extinguished the same
night by some parties unknown. 1 he
total bag for the day’s sport was a
Judge and two editor’s. Altogether it
was a great day for Arizona.
The prepration of the new Bible,
which is to be inspired by sweet reason
ableness, has not made much advance
yet. We lay before our readers the im-
Genesis 76 * 8 * 011 ° f th ® first chtt P ter ° f
1. There never was a beginning.
j.Aud Cosmos was homogeneous and
undifferentiated, and somehow or
another evolution began and molecules
appeared,
3. And molecule evolved protoplasm,
and rhythmic tbrilL arose, and then
there was light.
4. And a Bpirit of envy was developed
and formed the plastic cell whenoe
arose the primordial germ.
5. And the primordial germ became
protogene, and protogene Bomehow
shaped eozoon, then was the dawn of
life.
6. And the herb yielding seed and
the fruit tree yielding fruit after its own
kind, whose seed is in itself, developed
according to its own fancy.
7. The cuttle after his kind, the beast
of the earth after uIb kind, and every
creeping thing became evolved be het
erogeneous segregation and concomitant
dissipation of mation.
8. So that by survival of the fittest
tiiere evolved the nimiads from thejel-
ly fish, and the simiads differentiated
themselves into the authropomorphic
promordial types.
9. And in due time one lost bis tail
and bename man, and behold he was
the most cunning of nil animals.
10. And in process of time, by
natural selection and survival of tfyp
fittest, Matthew Arnold, Herbert Spen
cer, and Charles Drawin appeard, and
behold it was very good—London Free
man.
That Russia expects to fight before
long some great maritime power is indi
cated by various facts, the significance
of which is not to be concealed. She
has asked for specifications for swift
steamers from all parta of the world
where such vessels are built, and pro
viding herself with every attainable fa
cility for harassing oommerce and en
abling her ships that are to bn used for
such a purpose to escape heavy cruisers.
The Russian Admiralty has also lately
caused to be published a book called
the “Cruises ot the 8umter and Ala
bama,” which of course show the im
mense mischief that single fast steam
ships can do when ably and nudacioosly
bandied. The volume has been dis
tributed freely among the officers of the
Russian navy, and it is plain that they
are expected to profit by the exploits it
sets forth when a fit occasion arises.
As Russia is, and from the situation is
sure to continue to be friendly to France,
and as Germany bas no merchant ma
rine of any considerable dimensions,
the Russian preparations are obviously
intended for the benefit of England,
and are so interpreted by the European
press. The struggle may be a long time
in coming, but it is pretty certain to
come at last.
l'he reasons given for the failuro of
Republican speakers to go to Louisiana
and stump the State are just a little re
markable, and show the kind of patriot
ism that this country often has to rely
upon. A prominent member of the
Republican Congressional committee is
reported as saying that he had been told
by Republican leaders at Washington
“that they feared the State might go
Republican if Northern speakers were
sent down there, and then the South
would no longer be solid.” They are
of the opinion that if the solid South
is broken it will injure their party in
the North. They also argue that if
Republican speakers went South they
would be well treated; none of them
could expect to be-made the victims of
the shot-gun, aud this would spoil the
bloody shirt as an issue. If a solid
South is really essential to frighten the
North into electing a Republican Presi
dent next year, perhaps Blaine and Lo
gan and the others had better go to
Louisiana and urge the election of the
Democratic ticket. Reconciliation
doesn’t seem to be what is wanted.
The London World states that Bis
marck was so indignant at the publica
tion of an interview between himself
and W. D. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, on
the silver queution, that he has. refund
to see or talk with any American on
the subject. The Kelley interview is
not repudiated, but it is claimed that
Bismarck regarded it as a confidential
exohange of opinions, and he will here
after avoid giving anybody a chance
to interview him. The London
World savs that on this account Bis
marck declined to see Walker, the Spe
cial Agent of the State Department,
who has been in Europe endeavoring to
arrange for another International Mone
tary Congress.
The late Senator Chandler, says the
Cleveland Piaindealer, told a friend in
Washington, last winter, that the “elec
tion’’ of Hayes cost him $37,000.
Speaking of the alleged pecuniary mean
ness of Hayes, Chandler said, previous
to Hayes’ flop to the stalwart side: *1
am told that he only spends 86,000 a
year and saves 844,000 out of his salary.
When you go back to Washington you
tell Hayes I will fix it so that he can
save his entire salary. He will receive
$150,000 more salary if he lives out his
term. I will give him a check for that
amount, payable when he will write his
resignation on the hack of it.
