Mrs. IA-slio now confesses to the public
through the press that she at one time “de

friends, they ought to lock her up.
Grain is now being carried from Chicago
to Liverpool for sc. per 100 pounds less than
from Chicago to New York. Here is a fine
opening for the Interstate Railroad Com
mission to get in a little work, if the law
authorizes it.
Mr. Blaine, over in Europe, says he would
not have the Presidency were it offered
him. His friends on this side continue to
industriously work for his nomination.
They evidently know that when he says
one thing he means another.
Mr. Randall’s faee is said to be continu

town convention. After Congress acts upon
a tariff reduction bill and he has to give an

to his backers, he will not be so happy.
If Arkansas laws are anything like those
of other Southern States, tho rich Chicago
grocer who married a negro servant girl at
Rammelsburg hot springs, and made her a

Senator Gorman, w'ho is a great politi
cian, does not abuse the bolting Maryland
Democrats. On the contrary, he speaks of
their ’‘high character and attainments,"
as if they were about as numerous as a din

sonally.
Spinners in the great Stafford mills, at
Fall Rivfr. Mass., are about to strike be
cause they can make only nine dollars by
six days' work. This is a specimen of the
high pay which protectionists claim their

Country at certain seasons.
A proclamation from the Count of Paris,
pretender to a throne which doesn’t exist,
was posted all over France nt midnight
Thursday. If the French jieople
mined that their country shall always be
a republic, they should find some way to

trying to keep the question open.
President Wright, of the Chicago Board
q[ Trade, having referred to the New York
Produce Exchange as a “bucket shop"’, and
its members as gamblers, the latter ex

burning him in effigy. Is it possible that
having Vanquished her old rival, St. Louis,
Chicago begins to (eel more important than
New York?
Gov. Oglesby, of Illinois, has offered
State's Attorney Grinnell, who is a Demo
crat, a judgeship, with a salary of $7,000.
It is to be hoped that this is intended as a
proper recognition of his able services in
the Anarchist prosecution, and not, as is in
timated. a mere ixditical trick to get him
out of politics, in the interest of a local
ring in Chicago.
The New York Sun stated a few days
sinoe, in giving some facts about its own
pet candidate for the Presidency, Gan. But
ler. that he was born in Maine, and is a
graduate of Bowdoin. In fact, says the
Boston Herald, he was born in New Hamp
shire, and graduated at Waterville, now
Colby. Per naps the Sun's ignorance con
cerning Gen. Butler explains why it found
it possible to support him so ardently.
The Heading railroad company's action
in acceding to the demands of its
miners for an advance of wages
will probably force all the other
coal companies to do likewise, and the
thousands of men now idle will escape the
sufferings of a prolonged strike at the be
ginning of winter. The Beading was
doubtless actuated by selfish motives, but
its course is no less a blessing for that rea
son.
Congressman Cox, of New York, was in
Washington Thursday, and let it be known
that he would accept the chairmanship of
the Ways uni Means Committee. He lias
been a consistent advocate of tariff reform,
is a hard worker, an able man, and would,
perhaps, be more usoful in the position
named than Mr. Mills, of Texas, who has
been mentioned for the place, but whose
leadership would perhaps excite unneces

A Convention Interviewed.
The New York World undertook to get
opinions on several interesting subjects from
the delegates to the Republican Convention
of New York, which met at Saratoga last
JVednesday. The questions which the re
jiorters asked each of the delegates were the
following: 1. Who is your choice for Presi
dent in 18S8? 3. What do you think the
Prohibition vote will be? 8. What do you
think of the labor vote of all the different
organizations?
The number of delegates was 693, and
great difficulties had to be overcome in get
ting opinions. Some could not be seen at
all, owing to their engagements; others
were very shy, and not a few refused out
right to answer questions, for the reason,
probably, that they had no opinions re
sponsive to them. The importers, however,
succeeded in getting answers from 372 of
the delegates. Of these 201 were for Blaine
for President, 23 were for Chauueey M. De
pew, 19 for Robert T. Lincoln. 7 for Joseph
R. Hawley and 100 were non-committal.
The others were divided among Conkling,
Foraker, Gresham and half a dozen other
prominent Republican leaders.
With reference to the Prohibition vote
one delegate placed it as high as 75,000 in
the State, and another as low as 15,000. Of
the 372 who were questioned, however, 124
placed it above 40,000 in the State and 128
below that number. There were 76 who
had no opinion and 44 who refused to oxpress
any.
Views with regard to the labor vote varied
greatly. A few placed it as low as 25,000
ami one or two as high as 250,(XX) in the
State. There were 197 who placesi it above
75,000, and 54 who placed it below that
number. There were 70 who declared they
were not sufficiently well informed to give
an intelligent opinion, and 45 who declined
to express one.
From the interviews it is apparent that
Blaine is far ahead of any other candidate
in the estimation of his party in New York,
and that the Republicans think the Labor
vote will be about double the Prohibition
vote. They wish the Labor vote to be large,
however, and the Prohibition vote to lie
small, because the latter vote will be almost
wholly drawn from the Republican party,
and their wish may have a great deal to do
with shaping their opinions with regard to
it. The chances, however, are that the
Prohibition vote will be a great deal larger
than the Republicans pretend to think, and
that it willfully offset the vote that the Labor
party will draw from the Democratic party.
It is pretty safe to assume, however, that
no estimate of either the Prohibition or the
Labor vote will be accepted by the politi
cians as reliable, but it is hardly probable
that the Labor party will poll as many
votes in New York as Henry George did for
Mayor at the last municipal election in that
city.
The Fishery Question.
The British Minister at Washington talks
very frankly about the important features
of the commission plan to settle tho troubles
in connection with tho Canadian fisheries.
In an interview published in the Washing
ton Post, a day or two ago, he said that he
thought that the commission would be
ready to go to work about Nov. 1, but he
seemed to lie rather doubtful about the re
sults of the commission’s work lieing satis
factory to the Senate. He called attention
to the fact that the Senate expressed its
hostility to the commiasion’s plan last
winter, and he saw no good reason why it
should entertain a different opinion with
regard to the plan this winter.
Only two of thfe commissioners on the
part of the British government havo been
appointed, viz: the British Minister at Wash
ington and Mr. Chamberlain. The third
one will be appointed by Canada. It is
thought that Sir John MacDonald will be
selected, on account of his acquaintance
with the constitution and laws of this coun
try and his familiarity with the matters
which will bo the subjects of negotiation.
No one of the commissioners for this
country has yet been appointed, and,
although rumor is busy with tho names of
several prominent men, no one outside of
the Cabinet circle yet knows who will
probably be appointed. Doubtless two
Democrats and one Republican will repre
sent this country.
The subjects with which the commission
will have to deal will be those wholly con
nected with the fishery troubles. Other mat
ters will, of course, be touched up incident
ally, but there will be no negotiations with
regurd to them. In his interview, Minister
West was extremely careful to state that
the suggestion of a commission came from
our government. It seems rather remark
able that lie should have been desirous of
having that fact brought prominently be
fore the public. Is he anxious to have the
American people understand that the Eng
lish go. eminent is satisfied with the situa
tion as it is, and t hat this country, ufter Con
gress had passed a resolution authorizing re
taliation, requested negotiations relative to
the pending troubles with the view of se
curing a peaceful settlement of them, and
that England, equally ready for peace or
war, acceded to the request?
Secretary Bayard, a day or two ago, said
that only three ways were open for the set
tlement of the fishery- dispute, viz: by war,
arbitration or a commission, and that for
his part he preferred a commission. There
certainly can l>e no objection to a commis
sion, provided our rights can be secured by
means of it. After threatening retaliation,
however, this government cannot afford to
recede from the position which it has tuken.
It is as necessary for it to insist upon its
view of the issue If it is convinced that that
view is right, as it is to secure to our fisher
men the privileges they claim.
Commissioner Coleman's Sorghum Ex
periment.
Commissioner Coleman thinks that there
is now n fair prospect for this country, in
the course of a few years, to produce all the
sugar it consumes. The making of sugar
from sorghum by the diffusion or saturation
process is, according to the Commissioner,
proving to boa great success. He is con
ducting experiments at Fort Scott, Kan.,
and Kio Grande, N. J.
By the diffusion process costly mills ore
not needed, and all the saccliarine matter is
extracted from the cane. The expensive
mills in use on the sugar plantations of
Louisiana leave at least a third of the sac
chorine matter in fbe refuse cane.
The Commissioner says that Kansas will
find the culture of sorghum for sugar much
more profitable than the culture of com or
wheat. From 1,200 to 1,500 pounds of sugar
per acre is secured, worth Ojf per pound.
Besidia the sugar, from VM to MO gallons
per acre of molasses fs obtained, and - J5
bushels of sorghum seed, which is worth as
much as com for fed for cattle.
If tb* diffusion pnxvas is all that the Com
niiMSkouer claims for it, sorghum might be
ouibvgt*d ui this locality with profit.
TIIE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1887.
The State Fair.
In some respects the more interesting of
the two great expositions to he held in
Georgia this fall is that under the auspices
of the State Agricultural Society, at Macon.
It is in a true sense representative of the
whole State, as the society by
which it is given, long recognized
as a powerful and beneficent factor in the
affairs of the commonwealth, is made up of
men representing, perhaps, every county.
The fairs heretofore given by the society
have been almost uniformly successful, par
ticularly those given in Macon, whose ad
vantages for such shows of the people are
peculiarly great.
Several years ago that city
expended very large sums in the improve
ment of a public park. The plat of ground
selected is within the limits of the city, is,
perhaps, two hundred acres in extent, aud
tiie larger part is covered with a growth of
fine forest trees. Those grounds have been
beautified in almost every possible way, nu
merous buildings erected, and one of the
best race tracks in the Southern States pro
vided. A large part of the expendi
ture upon the grounds was incurred
to secure the permanent location of
the State fairs, and thoy will here
after be always held in this beautiful park.
However desirable may be the develop
ment of the State’s mineral resources and
of manufactures, her leading industry must
always be agriculture. Compared with its
product, that of manufactures is almost in
significant, and yet the room for develop
ment in extent and improvement in pro
cesses is almost as great in agriculture os in
any other direction. It is these facts which
lend importance to the fair of the State
Agricultural Society. It is almost entirely
a farmers’ show.
There would doubtless have been this year,
as heretofore, a large attendance upon the
fair, even were its attractions limited to
those which have characterized others of the
series; but on this occasion there occurs, in
connection with the fair, an event which
appeals strongly to the loving remembrance
entertained by our people for those who par
ticipated in the great deeds of a quarter of
a century ago. This event is the coming
together of Confederate veterans to meet
for the last time their Commander-in-Chief
during those troublous times. Their meet
ing with him and with each other cannot
fail to evoke memories from whose sadness
time has taken all pain and loft only
pleasure. CHd comrades, in “fighting
their battles o’er again,” will tramp through
the valley with Jackson and charge again
at Malvern Hill. In these recollections
there will be nothing of the bitterness of
defeat—only pride in duty well performed.
The Morning News hopes there will
be thousands of the old veterans
present, that they will enjoy them
selves to their hearts’ content,
and that they will send their old commander
homo happy in the knowledge that, even
though he lost the prize for which he fought,
he gained the affection and confidence of
his followers, and that he has them yet.
The Missouri Bald Knobbera.
The history of the band of “regulators” in
a remote portion of Missouri, known as
Bald Knobbers, whose persecution of their
fellow citizens and trial by the courts have
filled considerable space in the newspapers
for several mouths, can be profitably
studied in other parts of the coun
try, where manifestations of a
spirit similar to theirs have not been un
common.
It is not a peculiar history. In fact it is
monotonously like that of nearly every other
hand which has undertaken to right wrong
und wipe out abuses without resort to the
law of the land. This band or society was
not, when formed, composed of dospJfedoes,
but of men who considered themselves the
best jieople of the community—reputable
inen of property, farmers and even preach
ers being among the number. Their pur
pose was to correct certain abuses, and their
first acts were, perha; s, wrong only in that
they were without authority of law.
But they could not stop at this.
Having acted in violation of law
and made themselves liable to punishment,
the moderate men had no choice but to fol
low the lead of the most reckless. The fear
of the law they had violated was a rope
around their necks to drag thorn forward to
the commission of yet more serious crimes,
which succeeded each other more and more
rapidly, becoming all the time of graver
character until they culminated in murder.
And so it came übout that men who con
sidered themselves so much better than their
neighbors that they could justly try them
for offenses without giving them oppor
tunity for defense, found themselves red
handed murderers. Hunted down by officers
of the law, and Anally, after months of
incarceration in jail, brought to trial, the
last of them gave up a hopeless defense
and appealed to the mercy of the court.
Law breaking cannot be prevented by law'
breaking, no matter how good the motive,
and if men orgauize themselves for the pur
pose, they are as a band of highway rob
bers, who arc prepared to murder if neces
sary to obtain their booty, compared with a
sneak thief who timidly filches a purse. Or
ganization makes them more criminal and
more to be dreaded.
A St. Louis man has invented an auto
matic grain scale. It consists of a box with
inclined j>artitions placed on an ordinary
scale. AVithin this box is a revolving pan
supjxirted on a rocking lever. Attached to
t'lo lever is an upright upon which rests a
vibrating valve for the purpose of cutting
off the main flow of grain. Extending down
from this valve is a rod that disturbs the
equilibrium of the grain when the pan is
full, and causes it to discharge itself. The
grain pours through tho main opening un
til the |xui contains almost the required
weight, then the level on which the pan
rests rocks and partially cuts off the flow.
The grain now runs in a very small stream
until the weight is completed, when the box
descends and the scale-beam rises, breaking
the electric circuit, which, acting on the elec
tro magnet, causes the supplemental valve
to cut off the grain completely.

CURRENT COMMENT.
Carlisle Will Not Please the Barons.
From the Missouri Republican (Item.)
The high-tariff barons would lie highly pleased
if Mr. J G. Carlisle would decline to accept the
Kje-ukership of the House of Representatives of
the Fiftietn Congress. Mr. Carlisle, however,
is not in the habit of bowing to the will of the
barons, and it is very likely that the Pennsyl
vania suggestions will die a barren death.
What the Decision in the Anarchists’
Case Means.
From the New York Tribune (Rep.)
American law has declared with no less delib
eration than emphasis that a homli is a murder
er's weapi in. that every one connected with its
manufacture aud use is a murderer, and that
murderers must suffer the. extreme penalty of
the law. even if they profess to be the cham
pions of the poor and working classes and the
agents of social reform.
Must Be Made a Party Question.
From the Galveston News (Dem■)
If the (tariff) measure submitted to Congress
has the indorsement of the administration and a
Democratic caucus there w ill lie no middle
ground for the liaudall faction and they cannot
again thwart the policy of the party anil the
popular w ill while acting under a friendly ban
ner. The alternative will lie presented for those
who are unwilling to stand with the party on
this question to enter the Republican ranks, and
the chances are tnat if Mr. Randall should ac
cept this alternative he could not carry a suffi
cient force with him to do much harm.

THE MADNESS OF LEAR.
How Edwin Forrest Became Convinced
of the Fact.
.fVom Dr, Qross' Autobiography.
I became acquainted with Mr. Forrest under
peculiar circumstances. In the summer of 1828
Prof. George McClellan called at my office at
Library and Fifth streets, in this city, to ask
me if on the morrow I would accompany Mr.
Edwin Forrest to the Pennsylvania Hospital,
adding that the young actor was studying the
character of Lear, and was anxious to see a
Mr. Rush, who had long been confined in that
institution on account of insanity. My answer
was: “Certainly; it will afford me much pleas
ure to be of service, in any manner possible, to
you or to your friend ” Punctually at 12 o'clock,
the hour appointed for our meeting at McClel
lan's house, we were presented to each other,
and Forrest and I strolled off. talking pretty
briskly us we passed along to the office of the
steward, to whom I introduced my companion.
In a trice we were at the desired spot. Mr.
John Rush was a son of l>r. Benjamin Rush, and
had been educated for tbe Philadelphia bar,
then perhaps the most famous bar in the
United .States, adorned as it was by many of
the leading minds of the country. The case of
Rush was a singularly melancholy one.
In an evil hour tbe young lawyer quarreled
with his bosom friend, a Mr. Bingham, who oc
cupied a high position in the social circle. A
meeting took place soon after—in Canada, I
believe -ami Rush killed his adversary. Re
morse seised him, and in a short time he l>e
came a victim of incurable insanity. At the
time of our visit the insane were confined in the
basement of the building, and Rush was in the
habit of pacing to and fro in the corridor, with
his hands behind liis back, engaged in inco
herent niutterings, in which the word ''Bing
ham’’ was conspicuously noticeable. He was
then an old man, although he was still erect,
with a handsome, open, manly countenance.
Through the grating in the heavy iron door of
the corridor Forrest steulthily studied the con
duct of the demented duelist. He visited the
hospital a number of times, and finally came
away perfectly convinced of the madness of
‘Tear,” as graphically portrayed by Shake
speare. Forrest henceforth made a special
study of the character, and how faithfully he
delineated it is too well known to require com
ment.
A Blind Dog’s Guardian Cat.
Letter to the Spectator.
I know you have a high opinion of the dog's
character, but of the “harmless, necessary cat,”
perhaps you may not think so well as he or she
deserves. The following anecdote of my own
“Black Beauty,” or “Prof. Blackie," as I often
call him, may find a place in your generous
paper. A favorite Pomeranian dog was cruelly
blinded by a carter's lash, and while his owner
tenderly bathed the infiamed eyes. ''Blackie.”
the sleek tom-cat, always sat by with a kindly
look of pity in his luminous green eye. When
"Laddie,'' the blind dog, was called in at night’
be often failed to find the door, or would strike
his venerable head against the posts. “Blackie,”
having noted this difficulty, would jump off his
warm cushion, by the kitchen fire, trot out with
a "mew'' into the dark night, and in a few min
utes return with “Laddie” shoulder-to-shouldef,
as it were and the Trends would then separate
for the night.
“Laddie," when younger, had quietly re
sented the attentions shown by his owacr to
a fascinating kitten, who used to frolic with his
long, fringed tail; but he was too noble to
show active dislike. When tbe kitten died in
convulsions—a victim to nerves and a ball of
cotton—and its owner bent over the stiffened
form in grief, “Laddie" came gravely up and
kissed it. He followed to the grave, and for
many days was seen by his mistress to go up
the garden and sit upon the sod. Was this his
way of showing remorse for his former cold
ness, or might it be an expression of sympathy
for his bereaved owner?
Wicked Western Wiles.
From the Chicago Tribune.
“Have any of you found a bank-note?” in
quired a man in wild-eyed excitement as be
hurriedly approached .a knot of loungers at the
Union depot yesterday moruing.
“Have you lost one?” asked an elderly
stranger of bland and sedate appearance.
"Yes. yes: have you found it?*
“Wait a moment. What was its denomina
tion?"
“It was a SSO bill—national bank note.”
The stranger leisurely drew a roll of bills from
bis pocket, looked them over, took one out, and
passed it over to the excited individual, re
marking, with much urbanity as he did so:
“It is well for you, my friend, that it was
found by an honest man. I picked it up a few
minutes ago, and take pleasure in giving back
to you what I am satisfied is your property.”
“Thank you, sir; thank you. It’s ray turn
now to do the fair thing. Here's a $lO bill. You
shan’t refuse it. Take it, sir; take it, or I shall
feel hurt.”
The stranger, thus urged, took the money,
and the grateful individual walked off with his
SSO. He was considerably surprised to learn, a
few hours later, that the bill was not the one he
had lost at all, but a counterfeit. He is now
looking for the blaud and elderly stranger, but
there are reasons for doubting his success in
finding him.
Just Like Abe.
From the Bismarck Tribune.
“Have you seen this story about Abe Lincoln,
where, when he was a clerk in a dry goods store,
he discovered after the lady had gone that he
had cheated her out of six and a quarter cents
in making change, and how he closed the store
and walked three miles after dark t hat evening
to refund the money?” Tills question was asked
by the minister, and uddressed to old Sobersides.
“Yes,” said Sobersides, “Pve got a clerk who
reminds me of Old Abe. and every time I read
that story I think of him.”
“You don't say. He must be a Splendid fel
low.”
“He is. He bad precisely the same expe
rience that is told of Lincoln.”
“You don't say! Failed to give back the right
amount of change? Discovered his mistake?
Anil walked three miles to give it back? Did he
do that?”
“Yes, I letter than that. He walked four miles
instead of threfc. and did not return until 2
o'clock next moruing.”
“Magnificent youth! God bless him!” ejacu
lated the minister.
“Yes, nice fellow, and he would have made
his mark, too, if the girl hadu't had him ar
rested.”
“Arrested? What for?”
“Breach of promise.”
A Heartfelt Plaint.
From the Chicago Herald.
Down at the First National Bank all the sil
ver depositor must go through the window of
the silver teller, lie is a very diminutive but
very sharp fellow, who stands up on a dry
good box, but he knows all about silver. He
keeps a big wooden mallet and a great big
wooden block right at his elbow. It is his duty
whenever he gets his hand on a counterfeit to
stamp it with a big “C.” A profitable
Jewish customer shoved in hlty pass book around
at the hank the other dav. There were six
silver dollars and the "receiver," handing them
Ixiek, told the depositor to take them over to
the silver teller. The Hebrew picked up the six
silver dollars and walking over to where the
little fellow stood upon his dry goods box. poked
them through his window. It seemed as If the
business was all done with one movement, for
It ull happened in a twinkling. There was a
smash as the hammer came down on the block;
a splash, as the glassy counterfeit broke into
pieces, and $6 good currency was handed liock
to the customer. But it wasn't so quick that he
didn't understand it all.
"My Cott ?" he ejaculated, “I vaa an honest,

What is Love?
Darling. I’m lonely when tbou art not near me,
Lonely, with even the dearest beside;
Voices whose tones used to gladden and cheer
me
Seem to have all their old magic denied.
But in thy presence each dear one is dearer,
Music is sweeter anti starlight is clearer,
Friendship and truth upimar truer, slncerer,
O! surely 'tis this that they tell us is love.
Absent, thine image Boats ever before me—
Present, 1 only can feel that thou art
In the vague seuseof delight that steals o'er me,
WiMorfng my brain and thrilling my heart.
There is no one so lovely where lieauty assembles.
There is nothing my dreaming about thee
resembles
Save some bright star in the far sky that
trembles-
Oh I surely 'tis this that they tell us is love.

The richest copper in the world is said to be

which much of the copper is found pure and in
great masses too heavy to handle bodily, and
too soft and pliable to be sawed or blasted to

the tedious method of chiseling. This is so ex
pensive, says the New York Commercial-Adver

the world practically almost valueless.
