It is said that the area planted in cotton is much larger than heretofore. According to Comptroller Chapin, of New York, the last session of the legislature of that State cost New York pays a big price for the bad laws that vex her. The Executive Committee of the na tional drill announces that it is in debt $40,000. The Washington hotel keej>ors ought to be assessed to make up the defici ency. Senator Hawley, of Connecticut, is making speeches in that State. He is evi dently determined that his Presidential bee shall do as much buzzing as that of Senator Sherman. __ _ At Jerome Park, New York, on Decora tion day, a Mr. Talcott, a friend of James R.

The announcement is made that Illinois has more “alleged colleges" than the whole of Europe. “Alleged colleges" are not con fined to Illinois. They may be found any where in this country. Beu Butler sadly announces that *>o never asked but one favor of President Cleve land’s administration, and that was refusal. Ben doesn't seem to be able to understand that the refusal was a rebuko to his impu dence. The negro editors of Texas are preparing to organize a press association. Some of them are good Democrats. Perhaps when the association is organized they will con vert their Republican brethren from the error of their ways. The effect of tho interstate commerce law seems to be far reaching. The London Times attributes the depression of trade in England to the law, holding that the long and short haul clause especially is responsi ble for the depression. In Ban Francisco, the other day, a young man offered ass Confederate note in pay ment for u small article and received #4 75 in change.

The statement having gained considerable currency that Gov. Gordon, in his speech at the lnying of the corner-stono of the Nation al Exposition of American Industries at Nashville last week, expressed sentiments that seemed to indicate that ho had become a convert to the doctrine of protection, we have taken occasion to examine the speech ami fail to find anything in it which justi fies the statement in question. We repro duce the speech in another column of this issue, and our readers can judge for them selves whether or not Gov. Gordon has gone over to tho protection camp. They will find nothing in it that does not show that he is the genuine tariff reformer t hat he has al ways been. The occasion was not one that called for a political speech, and wiiat Gov. Gordon said on the tariff issue was only incidental to the other subjects which he touched upon. His main idea seemed to be that the South of fered superior advantages to the North for manufacturing, and that nearly all kind3 of manufactured articles could be produced at the South at a less cost than at the North. He advised Northern manufacturers not to remain at the North and worry themselves about the tariff, but to come South where they would have the satisfaction of feeling themselves wholly independent of it. He did not undertake to discuss the ques tion whether or not protection is necessary to the Northern manufacturer, but simply assumed that the Northern manufacturer considered it to be, and advised him to come where he wouldn’t regard it to be nec essary. If Gov. Gordon were asked if he thought that a protective Du-iff was harmful to the best in i terests of the country there is no reaaonflto doubt that he would answer in the affirmative. Asa level-headed statesman he could not answer otherwise. The ablest advocates of protection in the early days of tho Republic only asked for it while the in dustries of the country were in their infancy. They were not such believers in protection as to expect that it would be continued when these industries attained a ripe old age. And whatever benefit was derived from it when the country was poor and sparsely populated, it is an easy matter to demonstrate that it it is a hindrance now to the country’s prosperity. But what we wish to draw attention to particularly in Gen. Gordon’s speech is the prominence which he gives to the advan tages of manufacturing which the South possesses. They are so marked that they ought to attract the attention of the whole world. The South’s wealth of raw materials and her climate, which admits of cheap liv ing and continuous work the year around, ought to be in themselves sufficient to in duce manufactures to abandon the North and seek the South. The greatest of the manufactures of tho South feel that they are able to compete successfully with those of any other country if the conditions are made favorable for them, and it is safe to say that their wares would be found in every market of the globe if they were relieved of the burden of protection. A protective tariff confines them to a home market, which, being unable to absorb all that is put ujion it, frequently forces them to suffer from the evils of overproduction. No, Gov. Gordon hasn’t joined the pro tectionists. The protection organs have been in too big a hurry to claim him for a convert.) A British Scheme. It seems that the British government means to send the tenants evicted from Irish estates to the United States. The Philadelphia papers are discussing a dis covery which disclosed the scheme. It would be difficult to conceive of one more heartless or more deserving of condemna tion/ lVlien the steamship Scandinavian ar rived in Philadelphia from Liverpool last week the emigration inspector found a party of eighty-four Irish jieople, comprising men, women and children, whom he detained. Nearly nil of them were evicted tenants. They did not have SBO among them, and in consequence were classed as pauper immi grants. Satisfied that the poor jieople were tho victims of somebody’s cru elty, the inspector inquired tho cause of their leaving Ireland. He was in formed that a magistrate, as the agent of the British government, had induced all the immigrants to have their friends or relatives in the United States write letters to them requesting them to come to this country. Upon the reception of the letters the magistrate gave the immigrants tickets for their ocean voyage. They were then sent to Galway and shipped to the United States in a party. Of course they will be come a charge upon the State unless, as tho pauper emigrant act provides, they are returned to Ireland. If the British government really means to unload the evicted Irish tenants upon the United States, it ought to see that they are provided with sufficient means to support . them until they can find homes and work. It is a double shame not to do this, for to send them here without means is cruelty to them and an imposition upon this country. Some of the party sent to Philadelphia were sick and half clad, and one was de mented. They all told pitiful tales of ex posure and famine. It is astonishing that the British government should consent to advertise its shameful treatment of the Irish in this way. It should krep at home those whom its laws have made paupers, and take steps to ameliorate their condition. When Senator Sherman was in tho South, a short time ago, he softly cooed: “The war is over.” In Illinois he loudly roared: “The Confederate idea is still alive and is about to destroy our institutions ” Senator Sherman is the embodiment of insincerity, and as a demagogue he is without a rival. The people r.t Birmingham and Nashville who humbj v sat at his foot doubtless feel like hiding I. onuselves. • icr mol On Decofcbry way in New York, Dr. John Hhoy The Mondavlc 1 ivereip an address at Gran' , ’ t<,n * 3 j.

The agreement of the city to sell tho land on Bay street, in front of the property of Wilcox, Gibbs & Cos. and the estate of \\ ald burg to those parties, was a surprise to nine tenths of the people of this city. Will this sale boa precedent on which tho other prop erty owners on the north side of Bay street will base n right to purchase tho unoccupied ground between their property and the graywacke pavement, including the com mon east of Lincoln street: This common is now a place of recreation for the people of that, section, and doubtless there would be some opposition to its appropriation by private parties. The arguments used to convert the Coun cil from its old position with respect to the unoccupied ground on the north side of Bay street must have been very strong ones, but whether the Council’s action is wise or not time alone can determine. The Council was influenced to adopt the course it did, doubt less, by the claim of ownership to the alleyway between the buildings and the bluff, known as the Factors’ walk, set up by tho purchasing par ties, and for which claim there is some foundation. The recognition of this claim and the sale of the land between the alley way and the street undoubtedly establishes a precedent of which other property owners will not lie slow to take advantage. There is no doubt it would greatly im prove the appearance of Bay street to build up to its northern sidewalk, and perhaps this will, in the course of a comparatively short time, lie done. The common east of Lincoln street, however, should be reserved for the public. It should be improved and made an attractive resort.) It can bo made a very attractive place at a very small cost. A few trees and benches would make it quite a pretty little park. If reserved for a park, however, some general plan should be adopted for the improvement of the river front, one feature of which should be the widening of River street, so as to afford ample room for railroad tracks and the handling of freight. The increasing of the area for stores on the north side of Bay street and the widen ing of River street are two things which are vital to the commercial pros))rity of the city. The bill enabling the city to dispose of the vacant ground on Bay street should have for its object something more than the getting of a small sum of money. It should aim to promote the business growth of the city. Rev. Father Balleis, the Brooklyn priest who recently denounced Dr. McGlynn, is a native of Austria. He is 80 years of age. He was asked, the other day, if he knew Dr. McGlynn personally. “Well, I should say so,” he replied. “I have known him for more than thirty years, and at no time have I thought much of him. His behavior thirty year's ago clearly indicated the course he would event ually take. His conceit has led him more than onca before to almost open rebellion against the authorities of our church. And the women! See how he is on the sweet side with them, and how bold and shame less they are in their partisanship for their ‘beloved pastor!’ He is crazy. And this is God’s punishment. His end i$ near, and it will be there where it ought to have been long ago—behind the walls of an insane asylum. ” It is to be hoped that the Street and Lane Committee, to which the question Of collect ing the garbage on Sundays has been referred, will have the work done. As cleanliness is said to be next to godliness, it cannot be objected to by those who are opposed to work on Sunday. Garbage and store sweepings in the streets are Objection able on any day, but they are particularly so on Sundays. On that day the people present their best appearance. It is but natural, therefore, that they should want their premises and the streets and lanes to present a clean and an attractive appear ance. To remove the garbage and sweep ings on Sundays imposes no additional work on the scavenger. The matter has to be removed and the work can be done as well one day as another. The dissensions among the Knights of Labor in Philadelphia have at last resulted in a bitter fight between the General Execq tive Board and the Carpet Workers’ National Trade Assembly, No. I2fi. The hoard has expelled and boycotted the assem bly, including seventeen local assemblies contained in it. • The number of pei-sons af fected is 10,4X10. The board has cautioned all Knights of Labor not to hold nny inter course with the members of the expelled as sembly. A petition has been issued by the leaders of the assembly to all the district as semblies of the order to call a special session of the General Assembly to annul the act, of expulsion and overthrow the General Execu tive Board. It is probable that this fight will cause a pemuuient split among the Knights. Commenting on the statement of a Geor gia patier that there are 100,000 loafers in the State, the Hartford Times says: “Al most every other State can show a like pro portion. People seem to be rapidly coming to the conclusion that the world owes them a living, and that they mean, in the language of Henry George’s spouters, to ‘take it’—without work. The nlxirigines had a similar idea, and considered work degrading. But they played out—and tho loafers will be.” The Times is hopeful. The impression prevails in Georgia that the loafer will be on hand until tho end of time. Mr. Blaine will sail for Europe on June 8. He announces that he will remain abroad until after the meeting of the Republican national convention in 1888. He denies that he intends to make speeches in England in favor of home rule for Ireland, declaring that such a course would be “meddling with tho affairs of n foreign nation,” lie goes to Europe for rest and enjoyment. Doubtless Mr. Blaine is sincere in what ho says, but it will lie safe to declare that ho will not al low himself to bo forgotten on this side of the water while he is away. Representative Koran says that he will not be surprised to see tho Labor party in Ohio elect the next Governor of t hat State. He thinks, however, that a third party will never wieid much power throughout tho country. The laboring men, ho believes, will eventually unite with the Democrats, boennso the Democratic party is opposed to aristocracy, lie says that he has no doubt that President Cleveland will ba renomi nated and easily re-elected.

Several Young Californians Thought That They Had Caught Him. From the San Francisco Examiner. A man of 25 and of medium height, appa rently from the country, swaggered into the Baldwin billiard room on Tuesday night. The coat he worn was an antique Prince Albert, well oiled about the joints, and it looked as though the suns of many seasons were lodged Ih it . His pants were of the old spring-bottom pattern, held tight about the waist by a yellow belt. A felt hat. discolored by the sun, covered a small, bumpy head, and shaded a pair of gray eyes be low the projecting forehead. His whole appear ance was that of a man who had been lying on the range at night and walkihg about iu the day time. ' Playin’ pool, eh?" he grunted as he lounged up to where a number of young bloods were en gaged in a pyramid pool. There was a hasty consultation among the lat ter, the conclusion reached being that the seedy iooking individual was a chump and that it was their duty to work him. “Yes, we are playing pool; want, to join us?" answered one, whiking at his friends. “Don’t mind if I do, but you fellers 'll knock the spots often me.” “No, wo won't; we'll promise not to; won't we, boys?”’ with another wink. They all promised they would give the uew comer a show and he took a cue. He was fifth and last to play, and when it came his turn he handled the stick so clumsily that the hearts of the other boys beat with joy. He missed, and before it came liis turn again all the balls were down. Next game he took seeoud shot, and, to en courage him, the gamekeeper showed him the easiest shot. After a long and deliberate aim the hall was pocketed. Another went down, and still another. Then he missed. Next game he was first, and as the house pays $1 to the man putting the fifteen balls down from the break, the boys had many jokes to crack at the expense of the stranger. “Now' for the dollar," they kept saying as country chalked his cue to break. His 'whole manner changed. He straightened himself up and handled the cue with a grace that sur prised the others in the game and made the s]K“c*atoi's laugh. He hit the pyramid square and sent two balls to the pockets. Then he played the most difficult shots on the table, put ting the balls down with an ease that made the others who were playing green with envy. He did not quit until he holed the fifteen balls. Then he played recklessly, but managed to get from six to ten balls every game. The other boys did not like to quit the game for appear ance sake, and they played in a weary manner, never showing any enthusiasm. The green country chap was a cowboy from Arizona, he said, and just dropped in to have a little fun with the boys, as it was his night off and there was no faro loose. An Expert Opinion. From the Hartford Courant. Gen. Sherman has just returned from his visit to Washington, and professes himself in the position of the Lancastrian lover to the York maiden. He has fallen in love with that well-mannered and gifted young lady, Mrs. Grover Cleveland. He met her for the first time in Washington the other day at a Cabinet dinner, and sat by her side. "She is a very remarkable girl," he said, in describing the interview; “perfectly quiet and self-possessed, and absolutely w ithout affecta tion, accepting the dignity or her position with almost a queenly graciousness. I thought her very like the Princess of Wales, and 1 told her so, and she was very much pleased. Mr. Brancroft, who is very fond of her, remarked to me that it seems impossible for any bachelor or widower President to be elected a second term, and we both deeided we’d bate to have this pretty creature turned out. She has not shown the slightest preference in her friendships to her husband s political sup porters, and some of her most ardent admirers are the wives of men who are themselves promi nently before the public as candidates for the Presidency. Mrs. John Sherman is one of her stanchest friends." After spending an hour and a half with her, tete-a-tete, the next day. he was still able to tell her at parting that he had seen a great many of the ladies of the White House, and not one of them was more his idea of what an American President * wife should be than is this young and lovely woman. Cost of Making a Watch. From the Lewiston Journal. They were comparing timepieces in the De- Witt House office the other day. A. L. Denni son, of Portland, was one of them. Trustee Ben Hilton, of North Anson, balanced a gold timer on his dexter finger, and Hon. Rufus Prince, of South Turner, produced the old reliable sun regulator from his watch pocket. It looked like a convention of watch makers and served to point a moral to thfs story. "A cousin of mine." said Mr. Dennison, "who was one of the same name as myself, was the first person to make a watch by machinery, and it was he who established the Waltham Watch Works in Waltham, Mass. He was abroad over twenty years in Switzerland and on the conti nent, introducing his watch-making machinery. “Not long ago, on a visit to this country, he came to me. He asked me this question; ‘How cheap do you suppose I can make a watch hy machinery, i. e., a good, fair move ment, one that we would warrant for a term of three or four years?’ I tried to answer him and did make a guess. Now. what would you say?” "I can buy ’em for $3 60," said Charles Wey mouth. "Oh, say—er—er—s2,” replied Mr. Prince. Mr. Dennison smiled, and as he clicked his jack-knife and put it in his pocket, replied with that peculiar satisfaction that always invests such a situation: "He said that he could make such a watch for just 88c.” The Ingredients.

Ferdinand Ward is the autocrat of a little Sing Sing printing office. He has a nose of the most pronounced Roman type, bad teeth, a face which tapers to the chin, and his gray hairs are struggling for supremacy, though they have not yet achieved it. His expression is as mild as a solution which includes an ounce of tea ami a gallon of water.

If there’s anything wrong that is just what we want to know. Now tell us what's the matter.’ 'Well, Brother is a good mini, but the fact is, brethren, he part* his hair in the middle.’ 'We won't have him. We don't want a dude. Con ference mustn't send him.'

Exactly what the profits of the season were no one, of course, but Mr. Booth and bis managers know, but the thea trical estimate places them at nearly $300,000. One thing that is known, however, is that Mr. Booth is ngaiu a wealtin man, and that with only ordinary prudence he will never again be pressed for means. Once, at least, during the winter, he Invested a large sum of money in mortgages on New York property, being reniesomed in the transaction by a lawyer whose character insured him against a “wild cat deal." Throughout the season he has generally enjoyod excellent health, though working harder than at any time since his youth. The scene when the company disbanded was pathetic, to say the least. All the ladies of the company were lmtlied in tears, and the men looked as though they hud lost their only friend. No Jealousies or iars had disturbed the serenity of the tour.
