A branch of the United Tjtlior Party was organized in Baltimore Tuesday. Only thirty-five men attended the meeting, but the resolutions adopted were long enough to offset the lack of members. The Eastern Mail Associat ion is about to cut down production to keep up prices. The workmen who will be made idle by this ac tion will not receive any wages while an ar tificial scarcity is being produced. The Duke of Marlborough is at Newport, and though some people are disposed to look askance at him, he will probably be made a lion of. He is the guest of Mrs. Paran Stevens, ono of New York's society leaders. So many Wall street financiers are being arrested for crooked dealings that those not yet in the toils must realize that theirs is a ticklish business. This may account for the decline in value of seats in the Ex change. Four Bteamerß from Spanish ports arrived at Baltimore Tuesday, and all were loaded with iron ore. The tariff does not seem to protect ore miners muc% but it makes the product of the iron mills come high to the consumer. Congressman-elect Raynor, of Baltimore, Is confident that the fight made by the In dependent Democrats, headed hv Mr. Covren, on the Democratic ticket of Maryland, will amount to very little, not at all endangering its success. Ex-Secretary of War Lincoln has an nounced that under no circumstances can he be considered n candidate for the Vico Presidency, intimating that the office is not big enough to offset losses he would incur by abandoning his private business. There is more evidence to show that Cyrus VC Field wiis seriously hurt by his recent stumble in Wall street. He has sold a large part of his Hudson river property, near Tar rytown, to John Jacob Astor, who will erect upon it a beautiful summer residence. A young fellow, who was arrested Tues day in Baltimore for bigamy, did not deny the charge, but astonished the Magistrate by eonfessing that he had five wives—one each In Philadelphia, Han Francisco and New Orleans and two in Baltimore. He is only 23. The Republican papers of the North have been circulating a story to tho effect that, on account of mismanagement by tho Democrats and consequent loss of credit, Richmond could not obtain money to moot present necessities. The Diipateli shows the falsehood of the statement by stating that*im* 188 H the city has sold $OO,OOO of 4 ifri cent, bond; at W3 aad toteroit. An Inquiry From Canndn Answered. The Montreal IFifiteM publishes a column of stuff under the head of “Southern Barba rism,” and sends a marked copy of the 1 >aper containing the article to the Mous ing News. In a note accompanying the paper the I fit ness wants to know what the Morning News lias to say about it. It would require altogether too much space to review the entire article. It purports to lie written by Blr. S. W. Powell, and, as in most of such articles, it contains a little truth and a great deal of misrepresentation. For instance, the writer says that the “col ored iieople do not expect to get justice in the courts at the South in criminal cases, especially when a white man is against them.” To illustrate his meaning, the writer presents the following alleged case: “One of the best and most quiet colored boys in Savannah happened to be present when a street disturbance broke out. As his parents and Sunday school teacher had told him to do, he started for home at once. A drunken white rowdy knockad him down, a policeman arrested him as soon as he got up, and his father could only procure his re lease by paying $25. A white lawyer of standing advised the payment of this, al though he admitted that there was no jus tice in it, saying that an appeal in such a case would never bo considered on its merits.” The writer must bo mistaken about the facts in this case, even if such a case ever occurred. The impression that it is intended to create is that it occurred lately. If tho boy was arrested by a policeman in connec tion with a street disturbance he was. of course, taken before the Mayor, and it is certain that neither the present Mayor, who is an ablo lawyer, and who has been in office sev eral years, nor any of his predecessors, ever fined a colored boy $25 under the cir cumstances alleged above. In fact it is safe to say that no colored l>oy was ever required by the Mayor to pay a fine for permitting himself to be knocked down. The com plaint may have been made that the Mayor is rather disposed to be too lenient wit h tho offenders \yho are brought before him, but it is doubtful if anybody ever charged him with discriminating against the colored of fender. He doesn't recognize the color line in administering justice. It is probably true that it is more difficult to convict a white man of murder or other heinous offenses than a colored man. The reason that colored men charged with grave offenses do not escape punishment so easily as white men, who are charged with similar offenses, Is not because there is prejudice against the colored men, but because the white men liavo more influence, and are, as a rule, much more ably defended. It does not seem to be understood at the North and in Canada that at the South the colored people are the lowest class of so ciety. That class, in all parts of the world, whatever its color may lie, has less consid eration shown it, and is less likely to secure justice than the classes above it. In New York, Massachusetts or Canada, does not the bank President, who robs his bank of thousands of dollars, stand a bettor chance to escape punishment than the tramp who enters a house and steals a few dollars? In the city of New York there are dozens of people from the slums sent to jail, or the penitentiary every day, for offenses of one kind or another, aud yet Jacob Sharp is not in the penitentiary, although many thous ands of dollars have been spent in trying to send him there. In tho South there is no disposition to dis criminate against the colored people in the courts, and there is no prejudice against them. A larger percentage of those of them charged with crime than of white people charged with crime is convicted because they are less able to de fend themselves. The same thing is true with respect to the lowest aud higher classes in every Northern State. The things which the Montreal IFt'fness calls “Southern Barbarisms” it will find in some shape in every country in the world. Why is it that people will go so far from home to find something to condemn when there is so much to arouse their indignation at their very doors? Senator Wright’s Speech. Senator Wright's speech in opposition to the Brady bill was a strong one. He said that the fanners did not want it, and he is in a position to know whether they do or not. He had evidently studied it carefully and was therefore prepared to discuss it in a way to command attention and make con verts. He said very truly that the inspection laws ought to give farmers all the protec tion they needed. These laws are intended to secure to the farmers what they pay for. If the farmers don't get goal fertilizers it is Liecause the inspections are not carefully made. Do the farmers say that they don’t get what they pay for? Then let them insist that the Agricultural Department shall dis charge its duties more faithfully. Senator Wright ,who is identified with the agricultural interests of the Htate, said that he thought the guano dealers would rank well with tho farmers for honesty, and thut it was unjust to the honest, dealers to sub ject them to the burdens and annoyances which the Brady bill would impose upon them. He saw no more reason for the bill than for a hill to release farmers from pay ing for whisky, shoes and groceries which they might think were not what they were represented to be. The Senator hit the nail on the head, as it were, when he said that the legislation needed by the farmers was not that which would invite them to dishonor their con tracts, but that which would encourage them to stand by their obligations. The Senator’s constituents do not hear from him very often, but when they do it is with satis faction and profit. A proposition is made in Atlanta to sell the present capitoi building ns soon as the now one is ready for occupancy, anil devote the proceeds to the erection of a home for disabled and needy Confederate veterans. The spirit that prompts the suggestion is n good one, but does not the constitution pro vide that money derived from the sale of State property shall be paid on its debt? Be sides, the men who should benefit by tho State’s bounty number hundreds, and could not lie collected in such a home. Would it not lie better to sell the old State house, put the money in tho treasury, where it belongs, and make regular appropriations to aid tho ex-Confederate veterans. The appointment of Prof. G. Browne Goode as Fish Commissioner, to succeed IYof Baird, deceased, Is so warmly recelved by tho Republican journals as to raise a suspicion that he is a member of their party, He is well qualified for the position, how ever, He ban been a member of thw Hnilth tfOfUAn Institution a dozen yean or wore, THE MORNING NEWS: i II i DAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1387. Gladstone and Home Rule. Mr. Gladstone, it is said, left London soon after the uuexpectedlyfiarge majority against his appeal from the government’s proclamation of the Irish National league, discouraged and unhappy. In his distress he has the sympathy of millions of admir ers in all countries of the civilized world, who look upon him as the foremost expo nent, of the idea that that govern ment is best and safest which most fully trusts the virtue and intelligence of its people. His long political life, since the eatsly years of its formative period, has been devoted to the breaking of the shackles of restriction locked in former years by one class of his fellow countrymen upon another, or by his countrymen upon sub ject peoples. In this good work he has been more than once far in advance of the senti ment of his country, and has suffered in the loss of power, and ns tho victim of un measured abuse. But in every instance, heretofore, the people have finally caught up with their leader, recognizing his wis dom and adopting his views In this great man’s last fight for home rule in Ireland, undertaken in his old age, and its success ardently hoped for as the crowning achievement of a long life well spent in the service of his country, he meets n check at a time when the loss of even a few months may mean final disappoint ment. His leadership is necessary to early 1 success, because with him alone can the great Liberal party, made up of elements sometimes discordant, unite in a national policy, and ho has reached an age when he can hopo for but little more of active life. Tliis is tho weakness of his position. The present Parliament, less than two years old, has yet five years of life, if for that term the Tory government can maintain a ma jority on all great questions which may come up. This is not impossible. Made conscious by the recent by-elections of the change of temper among tho people on the Irish question, Lord Salisbury will not appeal to tho country so long as he can avoid doing so, and to escape that necessity will evade as tar as possible all divisions in Parliament in which the Radical and Liberal allies of his party will not willingly walk with his nat ural supporters. In other words, he will probubly adopt an opjxirtumst policy, doing nothing he can avoid, and trusting that the developments of time will lie in his favor. In any event it is his best chanoe for an ex tended leav of power. Admirers of Mr. Gladstone may hope that he will live to see the last great movement which he has led result in the liberation of the Irish from imperial control in tbeir local affaire, but it is probable that, final success is not contin gent upon his life and leadership. Great as he is, the movement has grown beyond that; it has become a struggle of the masses against the privileges of the classes, and tho question involves the destinies of England as well as Ireland. Armed with the bal lot, still new to them, but its powers beginning to be appreciated, the working men of England are demanding a share iff the government, which the privilege of cen, turies • had given entirely to others, and be fore many years that country may witness another of those peaceful revolutions in which freedom “broadens down from prece dent to precedent,” ever lightening the bur dens of the humbler and limiting the privi leges of the higher orders. Discouraging Cot on Crop Reportf. Until within tho last day or two the im pression has prevailed that the cotton crop that is now tsiing harvested would be a vjerv large one. The reports that are . being re ceived from the different portions or*the cotton belt, however, are causing the esti mates to be jjoniewhat modified. In many counties in this State there will be from a fourth to a third less cotton gathered than tho estimates, made a few weeks ago, called for. Reports from other States show that the crop lias been greatly damaged by tho weather and worms, and that further damage may be expected. Dispatches from New Orleans, which we publish this morning, state that, in the vieinity of Vicksburg, there are Helds of cotton in which the loss will be from 50. to HO per cent, of tho yield that was ex pected a few days ago. There aro, of course, reports every year of damage to cotton, hut as a general tiling they show that the injury is confined to limited areas. It is too soon yet to form an intelligent opinion as to the extent of tho injury which the crop has already suffered, or is likely to suffer It may be that the re ports are exaggerated, and t hat as the season progresses it will be found that the damage is not nearly so great as it was thought to he, or as was apprehended. It is frequently said that a farmer’s life is a happy one. There is no doubt that there are farmers who have few cares, and who are content with their occupation and sur roundings. but they aro rich. Storms, floods and destroying insects do not bother them much, liecause the failure of a crop does not mean hardships to them. The great majority of farmers, however, have a very hard time of it. They are oppressed by debts and are pinched for the means to carry on their farming operations. The loss of a crop, or a considerable part of one, means that strict economy must be prac ticed and privations endured. There are thousands of farmers in this State, who, a month ago, felt certain that this year would be a very prosperous one for them, but who now know that when their crops are all gut bored and marketed their financial con dition will not boas good os it was when the year began. The Baltimore Sun , in replying to criti cisms of Republican journals of New York anil Philadelphia, on the munici]>al polities of that city, gets in some telling blows. It very fairly says that the best way to test the matter is to compare results, and re minds those newspapers that in Baltimore there have been no boodle rs, no delimiters in public olfico, no swindling con tracts, no Mayor with the stain of illognlly obtaining money on his hands, while in nil matters of improvement, look ing to tho health and comfort of its citizens, Baltimore is on even terms with tho cities named. One protection journal now goes so far as to say that it is “essentially disloyal” to vote for a reduction of the duty on certain varieties of Iron manufactures. It is proba hly interested in a mill producing that kind of goods, and would consider itself robbed if deprived of the power to rob other people.

THE BU RDETT-B ARTLETT MAR RIAGE. The Re . • Reasons Which Actuated the Old Baroness. London Cor. of the New York World. I heart! yesterday the true stoi-y of the reasons whit hied to the remarkable marriage of Bar ones. Burdett t'outts to Ash mead Bartlett, of I’hilcd dphia. Theie never has teen any satis factoty e .-planation o.' this marriage. The Bar oness was over 00 at the time of the wedding. The bridegroom was less than .'id. I saw the two at the oiiera the otlier night. The Baroness is a stout, heavy-fjced. German looking woman wi h a kindly expression. Her brown hair shows as yet little sign? of gray. She was dressed in black and wore a small, while, laced cap on the top of Le • head. Her husband is a flesh faced, l o nig-looking man. He is a blonde, with regular features. His face is smooth shaven. w ith the exception of a reddish, brov.n moustache. The husband and wife were accom panied by a very handsome looking slim, proud appearing brunettj with bluish-black hair and the most lovelv fr vsh complexion. She was in white, and gas e but little attention to the husband of the da oncss. He was very attentive to his wife, pavi lg her about the same devotion that an alfeoticn ti to i wjuld pay to his mother. I have heard that the explanation of the mar riage is to be found in the reading of the will of the Duchess of St. Albans. This will provides that all of the great property of t'outts, the banker, which was left by him to his wife, the Duchess above-mentioned, should descend to the Baroness Burdett-Ooutts, subject to the fol lowing conditions: If she married and her hus band attached the name of Burdett-Ooutts to his, then that would constitute him the heir in a direct line to his wife, and that in the event of her death and his subsequent marriage, if he still retained the name of Burdett-Ooutts, the children of his second marriage would become the lieii-s, to the exclusion of any of the other relatives. It is said that tile Baroness Bnrdett Ooutts fell out with her relatives, and that this marriage was simply the result of a well considered plan to defeat by any possi bility this great property ever going to any of (hem It is said that the marriage that she lias made with young Ashinead Bartlett is a marriage in mere name. She selected him on account of the belief that she herself would live for many years. She wanted a young man reasonably certain to outlive her and yet be young enough to marry again. When she dies, if he carries out the agreement already made with her, h will marry as soon afterward as possible, so as to provide for a family of heirs which will cut off every one of her present rela tives. The Queen, who used to be very friendly to the Baroness Burdett-Coutts on account of her greet cljarities, never approved of this mar riage. and has not teen on friendly terms with her since LIGHT ON THE FAMILY SKELETON. The Sudden Death of a Young Wife Ac counted for in a Startling Manner. A special dispatch from Racine, Wis., says: From apolica official here information comes of a particularly sensational case which will probably soon be given to the public. At present names and details cannot be published, but enough is given to show the startling nature of the case. Six years ago a young man of hand some face, agreeable manners and apparently of abundant means arrived in Racine and en gaged in a prominent position with a leading firm. He was soon a favorite and moved in the best society. It was not long before he paid marked attention to. one of the city’s most es timable young ladies.—the beautiful and accom plished daughter of a prominent and wealthy business man. In course of time the wedding ceremony was celebrated A house was furnished and deeded to the young couple and everything appeared to move along happily But one day there came to the young man a letter, the contents of which troubled him greatly. That night his wife died, and immedi ately after the funeral the widower left for the East.. A few days ago a woman called at police headquarters who was closeted with the chief and who told a strange story. She said that she was from Montreal and that her husband was the man who had married In Racine, and that her own marriage to him was celebrated pre vious to the ceremony performed in this city. She said that when her husband ret ime 1 to her he made a startling confession. He told of his unlawful marriage hero and said he had re ceived a letter from the Montreal wife an nouncing that she was coming to Racine. Fear ing arrest for bigamy, he had given his second wife a triple dose Of medicine on the night fol lowing the receipt of the letter. She died a few hours later. The terrible crime was kept a family secret. The alleged bigamist has been legated in Alabama. whence he will be brought as soon as a few needed links of evidence can be gathered. Only a Trifle.

An’ that they kinder Mowed erround they thought he'd git his fill; But he allowed ’twould jes’ be fun, Ter swing erround a ten inch gun. An’ learn 'em all ter hev respect fer men from Roarin' Run. He explained he were acyclone as could tear an’ snort on’ rip— He’d then perceed to do it all, ef they give him any lip; That when lie fit. he al’lays come a sweepin’ like a gale, An’ ef lie had a enemy he camped right on bis trail; An’ that they’d say he weighed a ton About the time the fight begun, An’ that Harney’s Peak were on ’em when they’d done with Roarin' Run! He stepped up to a feller as he 'lowed 'u’d make a bite. An’ slapi'il him one, he said, “tor inaugurate the light;’’ But the cuss he swung a billiard cue that knocked him on the floor; An’ then he kicked him through the screen as stood up by the door, An' then they 'lowed the fight were done, About the time that it begun.

From the Detroit Free Preen. “One day last week,” he begun as he called the chief clerk at the post office window, “I wrote a postal card in here to my mother.” “Yes, sir.” “She never got it.” “That's too bad.” “It is too bad. but I suppose I am to blame for it. As near ns 1 can recollect I did not address the card.” “Ob, that's it? Well?” “And I have called to ask for It back.” “My dear sir, that card has gone to the Dead tetter Office.” “It has? And you didn't muke uo effort to find who it was written to, or who wrote It?” “We did uot.” “Then that shows bow the post offices an- run under a Democrat ie administration!

The London Athenaeum informs the English public that the paper which Mr. Gladstone has written for a Boston periodical is addressed as a personal appeal to young Americans. Mrs. Cleveland is a fairly good swimmer, but does not care much for diving. She likes to swim out until the water is about up to her neck, and then swim shoreward with a slow and graceful stroke. Ground bees have teen making honey in the coffins of an old cemetery uear San Francisco, and some Mexicans, discovering the fact, have been selling the honey in the city. This is as curious a thing almost as Samson's riddle. Gen. Belknap has a son who some j-ears ago want's, to take a clerkship in a Washington de partment, but his father begged him to do auy thingelse that was honorable.

The jailer of the Pueblo county jail, Colorado, permitted one of the prisoners to play the vio lin evenings. The other night the scraping be gan at an early hour, and was kept up contin uously and vigorously until late when it ceased.

Ever since the introduction of skin-grafting, the paragraphers have harped on the story of the w hite man who had a piece of a negro’s skin grafted on his arm, which patch gradually grew larger, and finally changed the man into a negro. Prof. Thiersch, of Leipzig, has now shown that if a piece of a negro's sk;n is grafted on a white man, the piece of transplanted skin gradually changes its color till it is white, and conversely If a piece of white skin is grafted on a negro. A New York rogue. William Hayes, went a-fishing for gold-headed canes on Friday night. He had a wire hook fastened to a leather strap. Jewelers’ windows wege his fishing places. At one store he broke the glass with a stone wrap ped in flannel so as to deaden the noise. Then he reached in his line and lauded a gold-headed cane. He caught some more like it, aDd some also with silver heads. A policeman came along, and w ith a pair of handcuffs fished in the fisherman The name “roorbaeb,” applied to a campaign yarn, is derived from “Baron Roorhach’s Travels and Observations,” which were the “tattooed man” sensation of the Polk-Clay campaign They contained one story which proved nearly fatal to Polk—that negroes ndght be seen in the Southern States with the initials “J. K. P.” burned into their flesh.. The travels were not written by Thurlow Weed, as is sometimes stated, but by a man named Linn, who lived and died at Ithaca, N. Y. For rendering fabrics, wood and other inflam mable objects fire-proof, a writer in La Nature recommends borotungstate of soda, a salt which he states has never hitherto been employed for the purpose. It is made by dissolving boric acid in a hot solution of tungstate of soda Ob jects impregnated with this solution are ren dered incombustible. The solution gives off no deleterious gas, while ammoniacal salts, phos phate of ammonia and salts of phosphorus ren der the air irrespirable. Pere Hyacintbe is living in' the suburbs of Paris. He is chiefly affected—patronized, one might say—by the evangelical English, and sev eral noble dowagers are Mme. Loyson's inti mates.

The death of Gen. Phil Kearney at the second battle of Chantilly, has always been shrouded in mystery. He was killed instantly, but the circumstances which led to his death have hith erto been kept quiet, Gen. Pierce Young, of Georgia, has just returned from St Petersburg, where he was United States Consul General. He was a Confederate officer during the war, and says that at Chantilly he and his command un expectedly surrounded Kearney and his staff. Young, who had been a classmate and friend of Kearnev. motioned to the Union General to es cape. Kearney saw the signal, but before he could take advantage of it was shot dead by the Confederate troops. A. W. Franks has presented to the British Museum a most remarkable coin, lately re ceived from India. It is a decadraehm of the Bactrian series, the first ever met with, and tears on the obverse a horseman charging with his. lance an elephunt, on whose back are two warriors, and on the reverse a king or Zeus standing, holding a thunderbolt and a spear; in the field is a monogram composed of the letters AB. The obverse records some victory of the Greeks over the barbarians, and the reverse may lie a representation of Alexander the Great. The coin evidently comes from the district of the Oxus, and was struck about the middle of the second century B. C. J. J. Albert, a Louisville barber, had $3,000 insurance against “disability” in the Order of Chosen Friends. His bands became paralyzed, so that he could uo longer wield a razor, but his claim for the insurance money was denied, and he began suit to recover it. Judge Barr, of the United States Circuit Court, decided the case against him on the ground that his disability was not such as to prevent him from earning a livelihood. It wrs in evidence that Albert had kept a restaurant and clerked in a store since he became incajiaeitated as a barter. The decision establishes a precedent of importance to all co operative insurance societies. Government statistics tlnd that since 1840 the use of whisky has fallen off one-half in the United States, while tho use of wine has in creased about 40 per cent. The consumption of beer has increased from 1.86 callous per capita in 1810 to 11.01 Ballons per capita in 18X8. This may bo considered a favoruble showing, a- there is a choice, even, of evils. Were those ad dicted to the drinking habit to nhßtnin entirely from the use of whisky, and coniine tbelr liha tions to the wine cup or the beer mu*, drunk enness would lie less frequent than It now is. it is asserted that the police records of large cities show that the number of arrests for drunk enness has decreased quite steadily since 1840.
