'Phis, of course, is a rare occurrence, be

they were not often punished. It goes wit h
out saying that the country is better off

A Remarkable Contest Nearly Ended.
To-morrow Texas decides by ballot
.whether or not intoxicating liquors are to
be manufactured or sold within her borders
except for medicinal, sacramental and sci
entific purposes. The issue is presented in
the shajie of a constitutional amendment,
ond if tbe amendment is adopted the Legis
lature, which meets next winter, will have
to enact such legislation as mayjio neces
sary to enforce prohibition.
Texas has never been so thoroughly
stirred up as she lias been since this prohi
bition campaign began. There has never
been a political campaign in the Btafce that
equalled it in interest and excitement, and
there have been very few campaigns any
where of any kind so remarkable for ear
nestness and bitterness. *
Asa rule the leading Prohibitionists are
preachers, lawyers, college professors, and
teachers of the common schools, while the
leading anti-Prohibitionist; are mainly
politicians. There are some politicians, of
course, on the prohibition side, and here
and there a lawyer appears as an opponent
of prohibition. Tlie teachers and preachers,
however, and the mass of the better class of
the native people are fighting on tbe side of
prohibition.
The anti-Prohibitionists have a more
ample supply of money than their oppo
nents, and buve lieen able, therefore, to se
ctire the services of some very able speakers.
The Prohibitionists, however, have not seri
ously suffered for the want of either money
or speakers. In about all of the most popu
lous counties meetings have been held, and
at nearly every big meeting there has been
a barbecue. Asa general thing the fanners
supplied the materials for the barbecne at
tho Prohibition meetings, while the auti-
Problbitioniste ware forced to purchase the
supplies for their barbecues.
What the result will bo • to-morrow it is
impossible to predict with any degree of
certainty. Each side claims that it will be
victorious. Both sides, however, it is safe
to say, are very anxious about the result.
The Democratic politicians, who are mainly
against prohibition, are perhaps the best
judges of how tbe vote will stand. They
are inclined to think that prohibition will
be defeated. In reaching this opinion they
assume, however, that almost tbe whole of
the negro vote, which is largo, will be cast
against the amendment. They admit that
if tlio question were left wholly to the Dem
ocrats, .prohibition would be adopted by
an overwhelming majority, as three
fourths of them are in favor of it.
But if the amendment is defeated the Pro
hibitionists will not be without substantial
benefits derived from the campaign, because
tbe anti-Prohibitionists have promised that
they will favor a high licenso so stringent
and effective as to remedy many of tho evils
of the liquor, traffic.
Prohibition is gaining ground so rapidly
that thinking men are lioginning to wonder
whether it will not eventually control the
whole country.
Gulteau’s Anathema.
Charles Reed, the lawyer who defended
the assassin of Garfield, and who, in various
ways within the past ten or fifteen years,
has attracted tho attention of the public,
has, according to our dispatches yesterday,
been pronounced insane. This termination
of Heed’s career affords some of the Wash
ington correspondents an opportunity to
again call attention to Guiteau’s alleged
curse. They havo somethtng to say about
it whenwer misfortune overtakes any one
who had anything to do with Guiteau’s
trial.
It Ls stated that immediately after Guiteau
wus sentenced ho “pronounced a withering
curse on every one connected with the
trial.” Doubtless ho said something show
ing his hatred of those who assisted in
prosecuting him, but it is doubtful if he had
any ill-feeling against those who defended
him. But whether he had or not death and
misfortune liavo overtaken a great many of
those engaged in the trial. They include
lawyers, witnesses and jurors. Death has
removed some of them and financial diffi
culties have impoverished others. There is
no doubt, however, that if they hail nob
taken jxirt in the trial they would have
boen overtaken by identically tho samo
misfortunes.
As for Charles Reed, tho outcome of his
career has been just what might have been ex
pected. Twenty years ago he was one of
tho most popular young men in Chicago.
He was the public prosecutor, and wus re
garded as a vory able one. In social and
religious circles ho was prominent. His
office paid him $15,000 a year, and he was
twice elected. Ho was defeated for a third
term because it was discovered that he was
not honest. Charges were brought nguinst
him of a very grave character, and lie failed
to show that they were without foundation.
His career in Chicngo had alxmt come
to a close when ho volunteered to
act as Guitcau's counsel. Tho part he played
in that trial did not increase his reputation
as a lawyer. He subsequently went to Now
York, hut failed to get a foothold there. He
went down hill steadily until he was with
out a nickel, and then ho attempted to take
his life. His friends, if he has any, will
cither have to take care of him or put him
in an insane asylum. The unfortunate end
ing of his career is not in any way connec
ted with Guiteuu's alleged curse. It is tlie
logical outcome of a dishonest and mis
directed life.
Sergt. Bates, who now lives in Floriilu,
has boon ilaving his respects to Oeu. Tuttle.
After reading tho latter's speech, in which
he predicted another war tx)tween the
Htates, the Sergeant wrote: “Wo have fine
pasture lands and might turn our attention
to the breeding of jackasses, but we nix*
satLsfiixl that we can never compete with
lowa’s leading production. tSince your
grout speech we have conclud'd to abandon
th.* enterprise, and leave lowa in tin* undis
puted enjoyment of what we trust may lx*
a profitable monopoly." Gen. Tuttle ought
by this time to understand how small ho is.
Others besides the Sergeant, havo taken
pains to hold u mirror up to him.
Johann Most, the New York Anarchist
whom tl’.e insurance companies believe is re
sponsible for a number of recent tiresin that
city, made n speech the other day in Phila
delphia. “I agree," he said, “with the An
archist of Chicngo. I agree with every
thing they did. I would and will do the
same. lam proud of them.” Most must
have liked prison life, for ho seems deter
mined to havo himself placed behind tho
bare again.
Prom Jan. 1 to July 1, of this year, the
number of deaths in New York was 19,312
and tlie number of births 15,342. The hnulth
of the metropolis must bo very bud. If it
were not for immigration, and tbe same rel
ative rate of deaths utnl births should be
maintained, it would not take Manhattan
Island many years to lcomo a waste.
THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 3, 1887.
The Blaine Procession.
The correspondent of the Chicago News,
who is following the Blaine procession
around in Scotland, cables his paper that at
a recent banquet Mr. Andrew Carnegie and
his guest were avoided by the British aristo
crats. This action, it is said, was the result
of Mr. Carnegie’s letter declining to con
tribute to the New York jubilee fund, and
of some utterances of his since his arrival
in Scotland.
The Scottish yews, a Tory organ, followed
up tho slight put upon Mr. Carnegie and his
guest with a bitter attack upon them.
Among other things the News says;
“Mr. Carnegie is constantly puffed up
with pride of his money-bags, an exagger
uteri sense of his munificence; He is always
self-conscious of the position his vulgar
riches have purchased for him, and he is
permanently determined to avenge the ill
luck by which he was prevented from be
coming a social notability in England. His
wit, however, is not equal to the demands
of his distempered vanity. Republicans
from America havo sometimes produced
a favorable impression by dint of
a certain dignified reserve that characterizes
the worthier of them, but Mr. Carnegie
cannot conceal the conceit of his wealth any
more than a peacock can bide tbe conceit of
its tuil, Mr. Carnegie and his companion
are very poor missionaries of Republican
ism. Continually on the alert to cram
their doctrines down our throats they only
make themselves and all they represent
nauseous. Mr. Carnegie is beyond the
reach of argument, and should bo ostra
cized. Apart from his Itenefaetions, which
may yet prove dubious, too, Mr. Carnegie
is an entirely objectionable person, and if
Scotchmen have any regard for their good
name they will hereafter shun him, dollars,
democratism and all, as if he were a pesti
lence.”
Attacks like this are not calculated to make
Mr. Blaine feel comfortable. He doubtless
expected, when he went to Eurojie, to re
ceive a great (leal of attention. Ho proba
bly thought that association with Mr. Carne
gie, who recently donated a quarter of a
million dollars to found a free library in
Edinburg, would lx: helpful to him. Social
triumphs abroad, he no doubt argued, would
increase his popularity at home. Attacks
even from a Tory organ can hardly be pala
table to him, and it is not to bo wondered
at, therefore, that the report got abroad
that he had determined to return homo.
The Kentucky Returns.
No particular interest Ls felt in the Ken
tucky election returns outside of that State
except in so far as they show tho strength
of the respective parties. Nobody doubted
that the Democratic ticket would be elected
by the usual handsome majority, and it was
expected that a Legislature would Ite 01001x31
that would give Senator Beck another term
in tho United States Senate.
Tho Prohibitionists and the Labor party
had tickets of their own, and the full returns
are looked for to soe what strength they de-
veloped. Neither of these parties has a very
strong hold in Kentucky, but if they show
signs of increasing strength there
it will bo taken as an indica
tion that their strength is increasing
elsewhere. The question which the jxili
t icians are anxiously studying is this: What
influence will tho Prohibition and Labor
parties have upon the national contest next
year? The belief is, of course, that the
former will draw its strength chiefly from
tho Republicans while the latter will hurt
the Democrats somewhat, but there is great
uncertainty whether the Prohibitionists will
draw away from tho Republicans as many
votes as the Labor party will draw away
from the Democrats. The Kentucky returns
may not furnish a satisfactory basis for cal
culations respecting the Prohibition and
Labor vote in other States, but there is,
nevertheless, a very marked desire to see
what they show.
The statement is made that tho visit of
Senators Vest, Plumb and Cameron to
Alaska is intended for a more important
purpose than that of pleasure. Senator
Vest is a member of tlie Committee on Com
merce ond of tho Commit AX! on Transporta
tion Routes, etc. Senator Plumb is n mem
ber of the Committee on Appropriations
and chairman of the Committee on Public
Lands. Senator Cameron is chairman of
the Committee on Naval Affairs, and is a
member of tho Committee on Commerce,
and tho Committee on Coast Defenses.
They will give their committees the benefit
of their |x‘rsonal observations in Alaska,
and it Ls expected that, their recommenda
tions will have much influence in promoting
legislation needed by tho Territory relating
mainly to immigration, comm tc*, and the
development o> its mining, coal and timber
resources.
The English aliens and non-voting resi
dents of Connecticut arc engaged in a move
ment similar to that recently started in
Massachusetts. They propose to become
naturalized, so as to procure political recog
nition and tlie rights which citizens enjoy.
A meeting was held in New Haven a few
days ago, and another will lie held to-day
for the purpose of securing concert of ac
tion. It is said that there arc 4,000 English
men in New Haven, and that only 500 of
them are voters. All aro said to ho op
posed to Mr. Blaine, so that by becoming
citizens they aro not likely to add to the
strength of the Republican party. In any
event, it would lx! well if all the aliens re
siding jiermanontly in tlie country should
bee nne naturalized. Such a course would
bo profitable both to them and to tho
country.
Nicholas Houghton, formerly an excise
commissioner of New York, says; “No man
ever went into polities who mis not bespat
tered with mud. He may be the most lion
orable and upright man in tho world. ll*
may have a reputation that is perfect, but
if he once dnbblos in politics lie will lie ut
tuokod from every sido and in every con
ceivable manner. I never knew it. to fail.
My own experience in politics is that poli
ticians are as honorable and ns upright as
other men; no moro or loss.'’ Nicholas'
experience must have lx*on with Democratic
politicians. If he should over become inti
mate with Republican politicians he would
doubQen alter his opinion, at letvt in part.
It is stated that the members of a fishing
party who recently s]x>nt a week on the spot
where the Philadelphia Coni Exchange reg
iment mot with its heavy loss lu the battle
of Antietam, twenty-five years ago, report
that thoy found the eornploto skeleton of a
mtui, and by its side the scnbhasd and blade
of an officer’s sword. The Ixidy was in the
midst of a thicket of young trees, which
probably accounts for its living ovcrloolti*d
for so loug a time. Then* being no clue as
to the identity of tbe remains tho bones
wore interred whore tho fishermen found
them. The vostiges of war ure slow to dis
appear.

CURRENT COMMENT.
They Regard It as a Joke.
From the New York World (Dem.)
William Walter Phelps bns telegraphed his
congratulations to John Sherman on his ma
chine-forced indorsement at the bands of the
Ohio Republicans. This would indicate that the
followers of Blaine regard the whole perform
ance as a joke.
The Latest Solution.
From the Boston Herald (In d.)
The latest solution of the Indian question is
to pack off the Western tribes to England,
where they will be sure to do the most good.
That country is sending us a good many black
sheep, and why in the world shouldn’t this
country return .the compliment in kind. The
departure of a second Wild West show for the
other side this week indicates a willingness on
the part of the red man to sec something of
“high life" in the wilds of London. America is
resigned.
His Name Is Prudently Withheld.
From the New York Star (Dem.)
Tlie only dissent from the liemocratir chorus
in favor of the renomination of President Cleve
land is an alleged Democrat whose name is pru
deutly withheld, who. through a sjieciLl to Re
publican newspapers, accused the President of
the grave offense of taking too much personal
interest in the management of the departments
at Washington, and says I hat the Cabinet ofll
cers are very indignant about tbe Interference.
Really, the Republican literary bureau must
niauugi'to produce something better than this
storv- something more probable, if not more
truthful.
There Ought to Be No Mistake.
loom the Boston Globe (Dem.)
But when it comes to States that the Democ
racy holds, and can go on holding, there ought
to be no mistake about the kind of reform pat
ronized. None but true reformers must lie put
on guard where there are electoral votes to Is*
saved; reformers who believe in reform all over,
believe in a Democratic administration ns the
only effective agency of reform, and are willing
to take their coats off, go into tlie caucuses and
up to the convention, and see that that kind of
reform, and President Cleveland as its foremost
representative, shall is- unanimously, heartily
and unreservedly indorsed.

“What was it*”
“Why, I bet 820 with a man on one of the
races, and we put the money in the hands of a
stakeholder. I won it. ”
“Well?"
“Well a constable stood right there and at
tached the whole S4O for a debt of live years

“No!"
“He positively did, and he offered to mop the

Foreign Smokers.
From the Philadelphia News.
“I can tell to what nationality a man be
longs by seeing him while smoking," said a
tobacconist to a reporter.
“The Irishman takes a clay pipe and sticks it
in the corner of his mouth until it touches the
opposite corner. He then puffs with all his
might—smack, smack—never taking it from his
mouth until the tobacco is gone.”
“The Frenchman will take his cheroot or
‘stogie,' and, grasping it near the end, take
long, slow puffs, moving his fingers as if he
were playing u ilute, letting his hands smell
strongly of tobacco.
•'The Englishman takes long, slow puffs,
puckering up his mouth and letting his cigar or
pipe slide slowly out of his mouth and back
again with as much regularity as if ’twere an
automaton.
"The Turk reclines at his case on a couch ami
smokes usually while talking, getting full benefit
of every puff.”
“Which is the right way?”
“Give it up,” replied the tobacconist.
Forever and a Day.
“I love my love forever.
Forever and a day
I full of high endeavor,
She but a frolic fay.
We sang this song together
Long since in summer weather,
This old time lovers’ lay,
“I love my love forever,
Forever and a day.”
“I love my love forever,
Forever and a day,"
O, she would fail me never,
And I was hers for aye!
’Tv. as tic is oar troth we plighted.
’Twas thus our heaven we sighted,
When life was in its May.
“I love my love forever,
Forever and a day.”
“I love my love forever.
Forever and a day.”
And yet we 'twain did sever,
Each went a separate way.
She swore her heart was breaking;
I know that mine is aching
E'en now. tho’ I am gray.
I love my love forever,
She loved me for a day. M. N. B.
Married Horace Greeley.
A dispatch from Richmond, Va„ to the Balti
more American says: The Rev. Dr. William
Norwood, one of the oldest and best known
preachers in the Episcopal chui'ch, died this
morning at his residence in this city in the 81st
year of his age. Dr. Norwood was born and
raised in North Carolina, and came to Virginia
as far back as 1 887 He was at one time Rector
of St Paul's, the monumental church of this
city, and ltterlv of Emanuel church. Henrico
county. Wh< n Dr. Norwood was living in North
Cab hna Horace Greeley, falling in love with
a school teacher there, married her. The cere
mony was performed by Dr. Norwood, and
afterward he and Horace Greeley became
intimately acquainted. When Horace (Ireeley
came to Richmond to go on the bail bond of Jef
ferson Davis he sought out Dr. Norwood, who
was then in this city. The doctor and Mr.
Greeley discussed various topics, and on one oc
casion Dr. Norwood told Mr. Greeley that 1,0
thought the North ought to pay the Southern
people for their slaves which were liberated by
the war. Mr. Greeley replie 1 that he thought
it >vas u monstrous proposition, hut that lie
would give the matter Ms most careful thought
and consideration. Some time afterward he
met Dr. Norwoodagainand told himthathe had
been thinking deeply over the subject about the
Federal government paying the Southern people
for their slaves, and had come to the conclusion
that Dr. Norwood was right.

Rough on the Chaplain.
From the New York Tribune.
Gen. N. P Banks tells a story about one of his
army chaplains which never fails to “bring
down" the Grand Army of the Republic camp
fires. The chaplains of the regiments during
the war hud charge of the nuiils for the regi
mentis to which they were attached. Tile mail
for file regiment of this particular chaplain had
not come to hand for many days. Tho regi
ment was out of the line of communication.
Every day from one-half to two-thirds of the
soldier boys filed up to tho chaplain’s tent with
such stereotyped inquiries ns these:
“Any mail yet. chaplain;”
"Have yen heard from the mail?"
“Do you know when the mails will come?”
“What do you think is delaying the mail?"
The good man was so pestered with inquiries
that he had no time to prepare iris weekly ser
mon He was obliged to spend all his time in
explaining that be had no mail, and that he had
heard nothing about the mall and that he knew
nothing about tho mail. It occurred to him
t liar he might put an end to his troubles by a
sign. Procuring the bottom of an old hard tack
box lie marked it with charcoal mid nailed it on
a tree in front of his tent, so that all might see
tliis notice:
THE CHAPLAIN DOES NOT KNOW WHEN
THE MAIL WILL ARRIVE.
The next anxious inquirer that came along
was a reckless young wag. lie gazed for a
while at the notice and. discovering the niece of
charcoal which the chaplain had dropped oil the
ground at the completion of the sign, he seized
it and added these words:
AND HE DON’T CARE A D N.
The chaplain took in the sign and never put
out another one.

Sunday, July 3), was the mt!i birthday of
(’apt. John Ericsson, whom this country will
long have occasion to remember. Uis home is
in New York city, where lie is greatly respect -d.
Oapt. Ericsson's health shows no signs of fail
ing, although be is said to be a phenomenally
hurd worker. The vigor of aged European celeb
rities, like Gladstone, Von Molt ke and others,
does not exceed his. lie never takes a holiday.
He continues to invent, and the record of the
creations of his brain and hands would fill a
large volume.
lu ('i)o. Ericsson's mode of life, the New
York Ted,unr says: “There is no b isier man
in the while city than he. and vet no man lives
more remote from its turmoil ami confusion.
His whole life Is devoted to sclent ifn and me
chanical studios. Social recreation he h; - none.
His only visitors are those who have badness
with him. liis time Is divided according to rigid
rales which make the most of the twenty-four
hours in each day. He has shown himself aide
to devote himself to sedentary work for twelve
hems a day for STTi days In the year for thirty -
seven years together, with scarcely the i< ■:.* of a
day. This is liecause since lie was forty years
old. Cap*. Erics:-ui has followed tho most ex

Tobacco lie never touches. The hours
from dinner until ID o'clock at night are
usually devoted to work, and from 10 o'clock
until midnight ('apt. Ericsson s.-ks exercise
in the open air. During working hours his time
Is divided between tlrf drawing table and the

The women's jubilee offering to the Queen
somewhat puzzled Burmese ladies who were
asked to join in the royal gift. “Why should
their sovereign want money," they inquired,
“especially so soon after the annexation of Bur

she ha* no tobacco?” were frequent inquiries.
For. all Burmese Indies smoke several cheroots
daily, they became deeply sympathetic at the
idea that their queen should he without the
solace of tobacco amid her State catgs.
A terrible BTonv from Kurrachee illustrates

behind were formed in the usual manner, but
just below, where the wings ordinarily are,
were two iegs with the claws reversed. The
wings liegan at about their usual place, and
back of the first pair were two other pair.
In treating a negro in I/lpsic for an ulcerated
affection it was found necessary to replace por

two white persons. These latter pieces gradu

to an experiment being made of transposing
portions of black skin on a white patient, and it
was found that offer a few weeks these began
to grow pale. In less than fourteen weeks they
had. in fact, grown so white as not to tie distin
guishable from the patient’s natural skin.

A clock recently patented in Franco is an
imitation of a tambourine, on the parchment
head of which is painted a circle of flowers,
corresponding to the hour figures of ordinary

one flower to another, completing the circle in

to complete the circuit. Tho parchment sur

Tut: Imperial boll of Cologne, one of the larg
est in the world, is famous not alone for its di
mensions and its powerful sound, but still more
for its persistent—silence. For now upwards of
four years its lironze mouth has not spoken: in
fact, tile bell has never yet invited the faithful
to sivvice. because it remains thus far unblessed
bv tiic church.although the present incumbent
of the Arch-episcopal Fee has resided nearlvtwo
years within the shadow of the dome. Quite
recently the architect of the cathedral formally
appealed to the ecclesiastical dignitary, Dr.
Krementz, who, however, lays the blame to the
government authorities. In turn the Minister
of Worship has since been addressed on the
subject of the bell, and it is now believed that
he will. rre lone, take the necessary steps to
have it solemnly consecrated.
Miners are superstitious as well as sailors. A
well known contractor was telling tho casual of
tho New York Graphic the other day of the ex

sible to tell in drilling and blasting whet her a
vein of rock is solid or cracked, hard or soft,
safe or dangi rons under the concussions of an
explosion. And yet, no matter how dubious
tin- men have been as t i their safety under sus
picious conditions, tie 1 discovery of a rat iu
their neighborhood quite restores their confi
dence. and they will inarch without hesitation
ui*m the most threatening wall and conduct
without fear powerful blasts. Experience lias
shown th"in that rills never r eek dangerous
ledges. The instinct of self-preservation in the
rodent Is as keen as in the elephant. Nature
lias the same wonderful care for the least as for
the greatest of her creations.
