Persons leaving the city for the summer can have the Morning News forwarded by the earliest fast mails to any address at the rate of 35c. a week, $1 for a month or $3 50 for throe months, cash invariably in ad vance. The address may be changed as often as desired. In directing a change care should be taken to mention the old as well as the address. Those who desire to have their home paper promptly delivered to them while away should leave their subscriptions at the Busi ness Office. Special attention will be given to make tb is summer service satisfactory and to forward papers by the most direct and quickest routes. Men that live too fast may expect to die suddenly. Nature’s punishments are in evitable. The North notes with pleasure that as the size of the Georgia watermelon increases the price decreases. The country patiently awaits the next “issue” to be discovered by Republican Presidential aspirants. It seems that a sensation is not to be squeezed out of the Georgia convict system. Thus another “issue” is lost to Republican organs. At a recent horse race Congressman Felton, of California, won $60,000. Georgia once had a Congressman Felton, but he never bet on horse races. Ho staked his all on a thing called the Independent party and lost. Orange, N. J., is to have a school of philosophy, patterned after that of Concord, Mass. Considering that Orange is a great dairy centre, a school to teach people how to drink natural milk philosophically would bo more appropriate. * The Christian at Work is authority for the statement that a Yankee has taught clucks to swim in hot water with such suc cess that they lay boiled eggs. If any but a religious paper had made the statement nobody would believe it. The weather in Texas is very warm, but it doesn’t interfere with the prim drill at Houston. The troops drill in their heavy uniforms uncomplainingly. Texans care nothing for the weather when they have a chance to win something. New York city and Yale College propose to follow the example of Hartford, Conn., in erecting a statue to the memory of Nathan Hale, the “martyr spy.” There are other revolutionary heroes who deserve to be honored in a similar way. Mrs. Blaine, who is in London with her husband, is very ill. The physician attend ing her. Dr. Verndon, declines to describe the nature or deny the seriousness of her malady. Mr. Blaine, it is believed, will have to alter the plans for his tour. The centennial of the Federal Constitu tion will be celebrated in Philadelphia on Sept. 19. The Governors of all the original States will be present, and it is hoped that the Governors of all the other States may also be induced to attend. Tho exercises will be very interesting. A few days ago the leading newspaper publishers of Philadelphia invited Mr. John YY\inamaker, tlie merchant prince, to ac cept a dinner commemorative of his 50th birthday and his quarter of a century of mercantile enterprise in Philadelphia. It was proposed to have present at the dinner the representative journalists of tho coun try. Mr. Wanamaker declined to accept the proffered honor, upon the ground that he was yet “on the scaffolding of an incoin pletod building” in the sphere of his proper life work. Mr. Wnnainaker’s modesty does him credit, but by declining to accept the honor tendcml him he prevented thoyoutlis of the country from having the record of a useful and inspiring life. The various Republican clubs of the country have been considering for some time tho advisability of holding a conven t fin in New York. It has now been decided that the convention will be held in October. Each club will send five delegates. The business to receive attention will be the selection of the issues upon which it would lie well to make the contest in ISBS. Tlie early activity upon the part of the Republi can clubs suggests that the Democratic clulis ought to be reorganized. The Re publicans will make a desperate fight next year, and there is no reason why the Demo crats should delay preparat. on* to meet it. leisure of the summer months will word ample opportunity for reorganizing Domooratic club* Cincinnati's Broken Bank. The friends of Harper, the Vice President of the wrecked National Bank at Cincinnati, and of the first assistant cashier of that in stitution, appear to have totally deserted them. The two officials spent Thursday night in jail because of their inability to get bail. They are not entitled to any sympathy, and the sooner they are convicted for their breach of trust, and placed in tlie peniten tiary, the better it will bo for the banking interests of the country. If a couple of burglars had broken into the bank and robbed it, and had been arrested, nobody would have expressed any sympathy for them. They would have stood a much bettor chance of being lynched than of being released on bail or of being condoled with by friends. The Vice Presi dent and the first assistant cashier of the mined bonk aro entitled to no more consid eration than if they had broken into the safe with burglars’ tools and carried off the valuables. Indeed, they are not entitled to as much, because they not only carried off the bank’s funds without leaving any security, but they proved false to the trust reposed in them. The enemies of national banks may cite the wreck of the Fidelity bank as evidence that national banks are not much, if any .safer than other banks. It must not be forgotten, however, that it is about impossible to en act laws Uiat will make bank officials honest. The government in the case of the Fidelity National does not appear to have been re miss in its duty in any reßpeot. At the Inst examination of the bank’s uffairs everything was found to lie satisfactory and doubtless was satisfactory. It was not until a few days before the failure that Hurper began to unlawfully use its funds. He lioeame involved in a big wheat comer, and wrecked the bank in trying to maintain the corner. He ought to be put in the penitentiary for gambling in grain, if for no other reason. A man who has millions of dollars of other people's property entrusted to him ought not to engage in any gambling transactions. This much can be said for national banks that cannot be said for other banking insti tutions: all of their circulating notes are good whether they fail or not. In the case of other banks, when they fail their notes become worthless. There is another thing to be said in behalf of national banks. It is that the stockholders are liable for douhle the amount of their paid-up stock, so that when the banks are ruined their depositors are pretty certain to get a part, if not all, of their money. As the assets of the rui nod Fi delity Bank are hardly worth considering, it is proliable that the stockholders of it now sincerely wish that t hey had never held any of its stock; or, at least, that they held none of it now. It is probable Hint Harper will be dealt with as Fish, the President of the wrecked Marine Bank of New York, was. He deserves no better fate than that which overtook Fish. Baker Palmer's Buns. New victims of Baker Palmer’s buns, in Philadelphia, are Iming discovered. It scorns that both children and adults have been suffering and dying for months in the neighborhood of Palmer’s bakery. It is probable that that bakery would have con tinued to be a source of disease and death if Dr. Stewart had not traced the sick ness of some of his patients to it. His investigations led him to the conclusion that his patients were suffering from lead poison ing, and the next thing he sought to discover was where the poison came from. After many inquiries his attention \va.q directed to the buns sold at Palmer's bakery. An analysis showed that they had been sprinkled with chromate of lead to give them an at tractive yellow color. The cause of the sickness of so many people in the vicinity of the bake shop was at once apparent. Palmer’s buns were popular, and their color added much to their popularity. Palmer, who is a German, and who, his counsel says, is very ignorant, thought that the stuff ho was using to color his buns was nothing more than -vhat is known as con fectioner’s yellow. It is possible thut he is innocent of any intention of wrong doing, but the authorities ought to be pretty cer tain that he is before granting him his liberty. A baker who is so ignorant that he cannot avoid poisoning his customers is certainly too ignorant to be permitted to conduct a bakery. When the suffering and deaths ho has caused are taken into con sideration the conviction can hardly l>o avoided that he ought not to be let off too easily. The introduction of poisonous adul teratiou into food articles is becoming altogether too common. A few examples ought to be made of the guilty parties. It is strange that in such n city as Brook lyn there should be anybody ignorant enough not to know that a divorce can be obtained only through the operation of the laws. Mr. and Mrs. James M. Peace, of thut city, were married two years ago. They did not live happily together, and agreed to separate. The wife gave the hus band a paper bearing the following state ment: “I hereby give my husband, Janies M. Peace, a free and absolute divorce, giv ing him full power to marry again, w ith the understanding that I will never molest hint or have him brought in any court whatever; and that I will never lay any claim for support under any circumstances.” A few days ago Mrs. Peace learned that her husband was paying attention to a hand some woman. She consulted a justice, and when informed that the jiaper she had given her husband was not a legal divorce, she had him arrested. The husband was in dignant, but he will doubtless lenru thut he is still too much married to be ablo legally to take another wife. The Blaine organs are amusing their readers by printing alleged dispatches from London regarding the movements of the Maine Ktatesmun. Among other things it is stabs! that his exceptional treatment at. tho hands of prominent English statesmen has made u marked impression uj>on him, ho having licen received “with us much consideration and with as conspicuous evi dences of recognition of his prominence us could lmvo Imen evinced toward any man not of royal blood.” This sort of talk is in tended to make u favorable impression ujion the voters of this country, but it will fail of its purpose. It is stated .hat the pay officers of tho army are receiving circulars from a firm offering to advance money on duplicate pay accounts. The temptation to accept the offer is strong, for it quite frequently occurs that an officer finds himself in need of ready money, which he cannot borrow on the instant from |ys friends. The firm that sends out the circulars ought to be arrested and puuished. If there is no law covering the case, one should be enacted. A New York professor teaches people not to forget. There are many people who would prefer to be taught to forget. THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY. JUNE 25, 1887. Utah to Seek Admission. The Mormons appear to be determined to have their own way about polygamy. They pay very little regard to the laws which have been enacted for its suppression. In view of the fact that Congress has been trying for many years to put. an end to it, without much success, the Mormons are justified in thinking that they will finally succeed in doing as they please with regard to it, and they will do as they please unless much more vigorous measures for its sup pression are adopted. They have called a convention to meet in Salt Lake City next Thursday for the pur pose of forming a State constitution for Utah. They propose to make an effort to have the Territory Admitted into the Union, and the present indications are that they do not mean to give up their peculiar institu tion. If their effort should lie successful they would be in a position to enact what ever laws they desired for the protection of polygamy, and there is no doubt that they would take immediate stops to fasten it more firmly U]>on the people of the Terri tory than it has ever been. There is no probability, however, that Congress would consider favorably their ap plication for admission to the Union ns long as they insist upon retaining polygamy. They will only waste their time, therefore, in framing a constitution unless they pro vide in it that the evil shall be abandoned at once. If they go to Congress with a consti tution which will meet the approval of the entire country they may get a favorable de cision, but they will have tA give satisfac tory guarantees that they are sincere, and that it is their purpose to comply fully with the laws for the suppression of polygamy. They are not yet ready to do this, h< vever, and the probabilities are that they will con tinue to knock at the doors of Congress for a good many years. The sentiment of the country is that polygamy must go. It is rather remarkable that the government has not been able to rid Utah of this evil. The measures which have ecn taken against it are apparently stringent enough, but somehow or other they don’t effect the purpose for which they were intended. The average Mormon con tinues to take to himself more than one wife, and that he will keep up this practice as long as he can there is no reason to doubt. It must be ndmitted that the Mormon problem is a very difficult one to solve, and that the means adopted for its solution are far from being effective. Doubtless the question relative to polygamy will occupy a very considerable part of the attention of Congress next winter. AVhat is wanted is a vigorous enforcement not only of existing laws against polygamy, but also of all those which may be passed for its suppression. The government is certainly strong enough not only to suppress the evil but also to drive every Mormon out of the country, if it finds that p ffygamy cannot be got rid of in any other way. It has certainly permit ted itself to be defied long enough. WLii the Mormons apply for the Utah they ought to lie told by Congress in unmistakable terms that tender treatment will lie accorded them no longer. Utah cannot enter the sisterhood of States until she has removed from herself the polyga mous stain. • Our Overflowing Treasury. During the jubilee celebration, and while the monarchs of Europe were sending their congratulations to England’s Queen, the thought occurred to close/ibservers of cur rent events that this country is immeasura bly better off, from a financial standpoint, than any of the great countries of Europe. About all of them have empty treasuries, and they are so deeply in debt that they must sometimes think that they see the shadow of bankruptcy. , . The debts of the continental )nWdrs of Europe now amount to $26,000,000,000, the interest on which is .?1,000,000,000 a year. The cast of maintaining their armies and navies is $906,000,000 a year. Every year they get deeper in debt, and there is not a statesman of one of them who (loos not con template the future of his country with feedings of uneasiness. Ho sees the taxes increasing while the people are becoming less able to pay them. A point must bo reached after awhile where they cannot pay them. In this country, on the contrary, tho Treasury is overflowing. The government has more money than it knows what to do with. The question is not how to increase the revenue, but how to dwease :'t. And the people are not seriously •omplaining of burdensome taxes; they can easily pay nil the government needs, and it will hardly be de nied that it needs a great deal. Who killed Winfield J. Scott is .the all absorbing question in Milwaukee, Wis. Mr. Scott was one of tho toaux of the city, and was a model man in every way. He was a trusted employe of a national bank. He was young, handsome and extremely bright. The story is that Mr. Scott was very atten tive to a lady, the daughter of a prorninout citizen who lingers too long at tho wine cup: “One evening ho was calling upon her when her father returned home from a club din ner considerably under the influence of wine, and without the least provocation savagely assaulted Scott. He struck the young man in the eye with his fist, and the member was badly injured. There was no publicity of tho trouble, but it ''roved a very seri ous thing for the young man. A death notice a few days ago stuted that ‘his suf fering was the result of an accident which caused the loss of an eye and in the efforts to save his life made several painful opera tions necessary.’ A tumor formed as a result of the blow, and the sufferings of tho victim were terrible. All that skill could do to save him was done. But the injury baffled all treatment, and finally resulted in death.” This should be a warning to young men who admire the daughters of men who do the slugging act when they have tuken too much drink. Tho Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun gives the following list of names that are being canvassed in connec tion with the interior portfolio upon tho assumption that Secretary Lamar is to be appointed to the liench of the United States Supreme Court: 11. L. Mulilrow, of Missis sippi, Assistant Secretary; George Jcnks, of Pennsylvania, Solicitor Genera); Senator Ransom, of North Carolina; Senator Col quitt, of Georgia; ex-Senator Davis, of West Virginia; Gen. Patrick Collins, of Massachusetts, and Gen. John M. Palmer, of Illinois. The prevailing opinion is that if Secretary Lunar is appointed to the Supreme Court the President will take his successor from the South. The Frohihition contest in Rome grows hotter every day. Personalities are freely indulged in. It is to be regretted that tho < contest has taken this turn. , CURRENT COMMENT. They Choose the Same Color. From the Few York Evening .Sun Und.) It may seem queer that the Anarchists and the Salvation Army should b'th choose red for ft repressuLat ive color, but it isn't. They both want blood. The Anarchists sigh for the blood of their fellow citizens and the Salvationists are hot for the blood of the grand old sinner, Satan. But, how do they know that the devil's blood is red ? If He Were in a High Office. From the Few York Herald, (,Ind.) "'ith Gen. Fairchild in nuy high office the country could have the novel pleasure at sitting down on a volcano. He Is an able man, a very charming man personally, we are told; but politically ho is a kind of coyote—empty, hungry and howling for office. He hits business ability —especially in the manufacture of a varied assortment of curses. Sherman’s Windless Boom. iFrom the Missouri Republican (Dem.)' Aineeting of members of the (4. A. R. in Cin cinnati lias resolved that it "views with dis favor and alarm the tone of tho Democratic press," after whicli it proceeds to point with pride to tho Cinchmati Commercial-Gazette, which is printing from ten to twenty-five columns a day in its conniptions over the Southern Confederacy. All or which goes to knock the wind out of the Sherman boom. Not Disturbed. From the Boston Ilerabl ( Ind.) The manner in which leading Southern News papers have treated this battle-flag business, sliows more sense as well as a truer patriotism than those who “slopped over" in their "palsying" operations, or screamed out other wise for the purposes of party capital at the North. The South has a calm consciousness that the Union is restored, and is disposed to accord not much notice to people who would strive to make it appear otherwise. BRIGHT BITS.

Earl Rosebery and the Commercial Traveler. From the Louisville Courier-Journal. The Earl of Rosebery was on a journey to a race meeting at Ayr, and for his companion in the railway carriage had a remarkably pushing specimen of the commercial traveler who at tempted to force a speaking acquaintance. See ing his Lordship perusing the Racing Calendar, he “broke earth’ f with the remark: “Racing is a great institution. Suppose you are going to Ayr meeting ?” “I am going as far as Ayr,” replied his lord ship. “Pity young swells get fleeced by blacklegs, Some noblemen, I hear, drop fortunes on the turf.” "Indeed!” “Do a bit myself sometimes-a tenner ora pony’s about rny cut. Know anything good for to-day worth my while touching?” “I am not a tipster." “Beg pardon: saw you reading the Racing Calendar, thought you might know.” “Well,” replied his lordship with a quiet smile, “if I give you the straight tip will it bo of ser vice to you?” "Depends if I fancy it.” “Put your tenner or pony on Lord Rosebery's Chevronel for the Welter cup.” “Not for Joseph! I never back Lord Rose bery's horses. Tney say he’s a regular chump kin." “Indeed! perhaps they're right. However, fou asked me. I can only add that I heard -ord Rosebery himself tell what you term a chumpkin to back his horse.” “Depend upon it, if it was all right he would not let you overhear ills conversation. Mum would then be his game. Why, the-e’s a lot in that race. I'll bet you a pony Lord Rosebery don't win it.” “Really, lam not accustomed to bet in rail way carriages with strangers.” “There's my card. Fact is, you ain’t game to bet.” “I think you'll lose your money: but as you challenge me let it la- a l-t. You'll see me in the steward s enclosure at the course. I have no cards with me.” “Agreed. It's abet, i bet you an even pony against Chevronel for the. Welter Cup. Hut wnat’s your name, young fellow?” “Primrose. Sometimes I am otherwise ad dressed.” "All right, Primrose; pay and receive after the race.” The companions separated at the station. Chevronel won in a canter, and the commer cial received next morning a short note by a messenger from the stewards' stand: “Mr. Primrose (Lord Roseberry) would feel obliged by Mr. handing to his servant £25, which his lordship will have much pleasure in forward ing as a donation to the Commercial Travelers’ Orphan Asylum.” The commercial man paid his money-, looking very crestfallen, and was heard to ejaculate! “Done! Who on earth would have dreamt that the good-looking, affable young fellow, who I imagined was a chumpkin, was, in fact, none other than I lie Earl of Roseberry, giving me a good, houest tip about his own horse, by which I was fool enough to lose £25! Anyway, he is a regular trump, and he’s right—l’m the chumpkin, Rfter all!’’ Beans "Yru Ain’t a Tattler, Be You ?” F om the New York Tribune. The other day the new minister in a smart Connecticut innimfaeturihg village started out to make calls. After ringing the hell at the front entrance of one of the few substantial, old-fashioned farm houses still standing on the outskirts without gaining a response, he fol lowed a narrow footpath around the hottse to a door opening toward the sunrise, upon which he rapped gently- with the head of his cane. Immediately the sharp click of a slipping bolt was heard, and the gooa-natured face or a si out, elderly woman appeared in the slowly widen ing crack, and the expectant dominie was astounded by this query: “Look a-here, now, sir, you ain’t a tattler, be you ?” “That isn’t supposed to he a part of my vocation,” laughed the clergyman; “I am Mr. .” “Oh, yes; I know- you. If you ain’t a tattler, you can come in this way; if you be one, y-ou can go to the front door and I’ll let you in there. ” "All your culinary secrets shall remain safely locked in my bosom,” promised the parson, who was growing a little curious. “IV ell,” said the woman, throwing open the door and allowing her visitor to enter her spot less kitchen and sit down in the ancient chiuoz eovered rocker, “this seems real nice and as if fou meant to be a sort of one-of-our-folks. Now, 11 tell you. I'm cooking beans, and I wouldn't have anybody in this village know it for all the world!” “Why?” asked the new minister in surprise. “Beans are cheap. Every- one in this village feels above eating beans. It would be the nine days' talk if it should get out. If you had ever lived in a factory- village you would know your soul isn’t y-our own; it belongs to the neighbor hood. I’ve got five bushels as nice beans as was ever raised on this farm, but I dar? not try to sell them, and when once in a while I venture to cook a few for my own eating I keep .the doors locked.” “We are al! fond of beans at our house. I w-ill buy a bushel of yAirs and we will eat them and endeavor to turn the current of public opinion,” said the minister, with a laugh. “It wouldn’t do. No one would go to hear you preach if It got talked around that you cat beans or codfish. We need a minister here the very worst way, so now you are here, don't do anything to set folks agin ye. And don’t tell what you found me a-eookin’. for if you should, there isn’t a soul on the street would speak to me. for all I am worth money enough to buy and sell them all off in a lump.” Capt. John Was Disgusted. Frovi the Chico Enterprise. Capt. John, an old Indian who lives on the Rancho Chico, and is a well-known figure about our streets, was the centre of an amusing crowd of citizens on Broadway to-day. Someone. for a joke, had dropped some quicksilver on the stone pavement in front of the post office and awaited developments. Capt. John and Old Daniel, the one-eyed Indian, soon hove in sight, and the glittering but seductive quicksilver caught their attention.
