Y., Dec. 5, to organize a na tional association. Next! Grand Master Workman Powderly says that he is enveloped in gloom through which but one ray of light has made it way. He ought to be thankful that a single ray has reached him. The Prince of Wales has had the pleasure this year of meeting Mr. Blaine, Buffalo Bill and John L. Sullivan, and now he wants to know if there are any other Americans who are more distinguished. Muscular Christianity proved too much for many of the students of Yale and Har vard, and in their efforts to celebrate the victory the Blues painted New York a bright red Thursday night. Senator Riddleberger says that the Re publicans were defeated in Virginia l.y Mu hone’s methods. If that’s the ease it is to be hoped that Malione will stick to his methods in future elections in that State. Another indication of the wickedness of Cincinnati is found in the statement that a man whose wife was recently outraged iq that town refused to prosecute the criminal because the latter had paid Jpm SSO and given him a sewing machine to stop the antion. The arrest of a gang of men and boys at tired in fantastic costumes in the metropolis Thanksgiving day caused considerable com ment. The Madison Rangers, as they call themselves, are a public nuisance with which the South, we are glad to say, is not afflicted. Mr. Alexander K. McClure, of the Phila delphia Times, writes to bis paper from Washington about the tariff os if lie thought he was a big Injun and could settle the tariff issue with a few strokes of his pen. No man who ruus a one-cent paper can harmonize the tariff differences. Michael Burnes, of Augusta, Me., wish ing to evade the prohibitory law of the State, has decided to store his liquors in small packages in custom bouses, and when he sells a jug or keg to give the purchaser an order on the custom house for delivery of the original package on payment of the duty. The Governor of Oregon must have lieon under the impression that his constituents would not observe Thanksgiving day when he penned the closing sentence of his unique proclamation, which read: “The same courtesy that prompts us to expressions of gratitude to a friend for favors received should impel us to give public thanks to God for His numberless mercies.” The Duke of Marlborough has filed his answer in the action for libel instituted by the New York Ti~uth, the proprietors of ■which ask judgment for S2S,(XX) against the Duke who termed the sheet a vile rag. It ■was the best advertisement the Truth could have, and so far from injuring its business the controversy with the Duke and the liliel suit brought it into prominence, a circum stance which never would have occurred had it been left to its own resources. Charles Sanford, of Brooklyn, was the victim of a practical joke at Hyde & Beh man’s variety theatre last Monday, and strange to say he failed to appreciate it. While watching the antics of half a dozen young girls in abbreviated dresses, who were engaged in the performance, Mr. Sanford was given an electric shock, and when he discovered that ho had been the victim of a practical joke, he became infu riated and left the house, amid the shouts of derision of the other spectators. Consid ering that he supplied all the fun, and was the only person in the house who failed to receive any amusement, he thinks he is enti tled to $25,000 for injury to himself, and his feelings, and he has accordingly beguu an action to recover teat <unount. Sherman’s Reasons for Attacking the t outh. In the campaigns in the Northern States which preceded the elections this fall there was very little “bloody shirt” talk, except in Ohio. In New York there was so little that John Sherman was disgusted with the Republican leaders of that State. In an in terview lie said that if the stump speakers for the Republican party in New York had pursued the same course that was pursued by the Republican campaign managers in Ohio, the Republicans would have come nun’ll nearer carrying the State. Was he right! It is probable that he was not. There are a few extreme partisans in John Sherman’s State who demand the sort of talk that he and Gov. Foraker give them, lmt such partisans are rather difficult to find in New York. A stump speaker who presents sectional issues in the latter JState is in great danger of being thought tiresome. The fact is, that in all, except a few, localities very little confidence is placed in the assertion that the South has not accepted the results of the war, or that there is not a free ballot and a fair count in the Southern States. The truth is that the Republican party is in want of issues, and it keeps attacking the South for the purpose of hiding its poverty in that respect. John Sherman, who is one of the shrewdest of the Republican leaders, if not the shrewdest of them all, insists upon holding on to the “bloody shirt” programme because lie sees that without it his party is likely to be without any programme whatever. The only distinctive doctrine that the Republican party now has is that of a high protective tariff. The more that is discussed the less likely is it to strengthen that party. It may make a few converts to that party in States where converts will do it no good, but at the same time it will do it an immense amount of damage in States where it needs all the adherents it has to maintain its present strength. In Michigan, lowa, and other Northwestern States, the people do not see how a high protective tariff benefits them, and on the tariff issue alone, the two above named States, from being strongly Republican, have become doubtful. It is not to be wondered at, therefore, that John Sherman insists upon keeping the sectional issues in tiie foreground. During the present winter he will doubtless utilize every occasion to attack the South. It is understood that following his lead an at tempt will be made to show that Congress man Elliott, of South Carolina, was Elected by suppressing the colored vote. Small, who proposes to contest Col. Elliott’s right to a seat in the House, will undoubtedly allege that bis colored friends were not al lowed to vote, and that the votes of many of those who cast their ballots wore not counted. It is fortunate that Col. Elliott can meet all such charges successfully and can show beyond question that the colored people in his district were not interfered with in any way, and that their ballots were counted as they were east. The people of the North are beginning to understand that the reason a larger colons 1 vote is not cast is that the colored people are not now urged .and driven to the polls as they were when the carjiet-bag govern ments were in power. The colored people have found out that their rights are as fully protected under Democratic as under Re pul ilican rule, and a very large percentage of them, therefore, does not take the trouble to go to the polls. Even the extreme Republican partisans of Ohio will havo to admit after a while that this is the truth about the colored vote. The Situation in France. The crisis through which the Republic of Fi ance is passing is full of peril. It is prob able, however, that it will get through safely. The monarchists are active, but they are not strong enough to overcome the sentiment in favor of the republic. The Depui ies who favor a monarchy are united now, but if there were a fair prospect of the overthrow of the republic they would be divided into hostile factions. President Grevy proposes to resign, but not right away. He thinks his immediate resignation would endanger the republic, and perhaps he is right. If he resigns when he thinks he ought to he may not only be able to retire with honor, but may also save the republic from serious trouble. President Grevy is no more responsible to the Chamber of Deputies than President Cleveland is to the House of Representa tives. With respect to the Executive De partment, the French constitution differs from ours in this: Under our constitution neither the President nor his Cabinet officers are responsible to Congress. If they avoid causes for impeachment they con snap their fingers at Congress. A hostile Congress is no reason why the President or any member of his Cabinet should resign. Under the French constitution the President is not re sponsible to the Chamber of Deputies, except when the charge of treason is brought against him, but his Ministers are. They are the creatures of the Chamber, and as all of the President’s acts have to be countersigned by them, he can not discharge the duties of his office at all if the Chamber is not disposed to per mit him. It lias only to refuse to sustiau the Ministers to entirely olistruct the Execu tive Department of the government. When the Chamber withdraws its confidence from the Ministers they have to resign, and the President might as well resign also, since he is powerless. If President Grevy resigns his action will establish a precedent which will doubtless be followed in future. The criminal con duct of M. Wilson has brought about a condition of affairs that, in all probability will result in the establishment of this prece dent which is hostile to the best interests of France. The Republic would tie much safer if the President were not subject to the will of the Chamber. If President Grevy resigns future Presidents will havo to keep constantly in view the fuct that if they wont to retain their office they must always manage to have the support of a majority of the Deputies. It seems to be the general impression throughout the counfry that the first na tional Thanksgiving day proclamation was issued by President Lincoln, but this is not the case. Lincoln merely revived the cus tom established by President George Wash ington Jan. 1, 1795, when he issued his first Thanksgiving day proclamation from Phil adelphia. His example was not followed by his successors, however, and though at times several States obsorvod the day, there was no general observance until the administra tion of President Lincoln. Edward Atkinson, of Boston, is unhappy unless he is figuring upon something. He has just figured out that the men of to-day are larger than those of 100 years ago. What does he do with the statement that , “there were giants in those days!” TIIE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1887. The Laches of the Lessees. According to Constable Wetherhorn’s statement the penitentary lessees don’t care very much whether convicts who have es caped are captured or not. There are, it seems, several escaped convicts in this county who could easily be captured if there were any incentive to do so, and it is not unreasonable to suppose that there are others in other counties. The question which presents itself in this matter is this: What is the use of spending money in supporting courts and paying juries if their work is nullified by the negligence and carelessness of those who have charge of the convicts? It does not take long for the vicious and depraved element of society to get the impression that it is not a difficult matter to escape from the convict camps. With such im pression existing the fear of punishment for violating the laws for the protection of persons or property cannot lie very great. Prompt and severe punishment is con stantly advocated by the press, with the hope of suppressing crime, but courts may inflict the severest punishments permitted by the law, without accomplishing any good result, if the doors of the penitentiary are left unguarded. Doubtless the lessees blame their guards for permitting so many convicts to escape, but this excuse will not satisfy the public unless it is shown that no better guards can bo obtained. The lessees make handsome profits out of their contracts, or at least they ought to, and they can afford the ex pense of capable guards. If they depend wholly upon men without judgment or ex perience, and who, because of their small compensation, are indifferent whether their duties are carefully and conscientiously performed or not, they must expect that there will lie complaints respecting the bad management of the convict camps. The present convict system is not a good one by any means. There is no immediate prospect, however, that another will be substituted for it. Every effort, therefore, should bo made to administer the one in force so as to produce the best results, and if the lessees are indifferent about doing their whole duty to the State, and fail to comply fully with the terms of their con tracts, they should be taken in hand by the Governor and made to understand that they have got to toe the mark. They can not lie permitted to enjoy all the profits to be obtained from their leases while they are neglecting to comply with their obligations to the State. The Philadelphia Leprosy Cases. The two cases of leprosy which are now being treated in a Philadelphia hospital are attracting a great deal of attention in that city. The afflicted persons are a mother and daughter. They came to this country from Brazil to secure medical treatment, thinking that they were suffering from soma curable skin disease. For eighteen months they mingled freely with the people of the part of Philadelphia in which they made their home. The daughter played with the children of her own age, and the mother visited among acquaintances which she made. Finding that the doctors did them no good they took passage for Brazil, but they had not got far on the journey be fore the ship’s doctor told the Captain that they were afflicted with leprosy, and that they would not be permitted to land in any Brazilian port. The Captain ran his ship into Newport News, and put them ashore. They (jiade their way back to Philadelphia, fy some it is maintained that leprosy is contagious. In a lecture a few weeks ago before the Academy of Medicine in Paris Dr. Ernest Besmer said that the com mon belief that leprosy is not contagious is a mistake. It' free intercourse, he said, is permitted between lepers ami healthy people it will not be many years before the num ber of lepers will be alarmingly large. It has not been very long since there were epidemics of lepers in the provinces of Va lencia and Alicante, in Spain. Lepers are now to be found in the liospitalsof London, Dublin and Glasgow, and it is said that they ar% also to be found in one or two Louisiana parishes. There is a report, how well founded it is impossible to say, that leprosy is spreading quite rapidly in differ ent parts of the world, especially in those localities where a large Chinese population is to be found. It is remarkable that the doctors who attended the two lepers now in the Philadelphia hospital, before they started on their return to Brazil, did not discover the nature of their disease. If they did, in fact, discover it but kept the matter secret they ought to be severely pun ished. Many cases of leprosy may result from contact with those two lepers. The health authorities of Philadelphia appear to fear something of the kind. Prohibition Defeated. Atlanta made a very serious mistake 3’esterdav. She voted in barrooms by over 1,000 majority. She has lost all she gained by her two years of prohibition. For a while at least thero will he more drunken ness in the city than ever before. The ten dency will be to swing away from temper ance as far as possible. There were doubtless thousands of people ixi other States who would have made their homes in Attantu ns soon as they became satisfied that prohibition was firmly estab lished there. They would ha ve sought that city in preference to others in order to got their children away from the influences of the saloon. Prohibitionists are a thrifty class of people and make excel lent citizens. No Prohibitionists will give Atlanta the preference over other places now, however. The Anti-Pro hibitionists, who are in the majority, suy, virtually, that they prefer the saloons to the Prohibitionists, and the chances nre they will have their preference for many years. The Prohibitionists will not have the cour age and strength, in all probability, to make another fight soon. tVhat may prove a fatal blew to the United Labor partj- in New York was dealt by Dr. McGlynn at the Fenian meeting in tl'.at city recently, where he made an ad dress. As usual the speaker devoted the greater part of his address to eulogizing himself, his peculiar, hazy theories on the land question and denouncing the Irish leaders, the 25,000 men whom he says sold themselves in the last elections, and the church of which he is an outcast. The ex priest disgusted his hearers, and when his utterances were published in newspa]>ers next day the entire Irish population of New York protested against them. McGlynn has killed himself, but George continues to profit by his connection with the labor movement. Mrs. James Brown Potter announces her determination to produce “Romeo and Juliet'’ soon. Isn’t that rather hard on Shakespeare* CURRENT COMMENT Justifiable Retaliation. From the Boston Globe (Dem.) Shirts are being exported Jfrom this country, and the women of New York wbdhnake them get 85c. a dozen for doing it. Wouldn't it be well for Great Britain to adopt a protective tariff against the pauper labor of New York? Nothing Small About John. From the Philadelphia Times ( Ind.) According to John Sherman, the colored voter has no right not to vote, and there should lie Federal boards created to bring him out and make him vote, or, what is easier, to count the vote that he might have cast if he had wanted to but didn’t. John is a great, broad, long headed and warm-hearted statesman. The Mugwumps Not “Independents.” From the Boston Traveler {Rep.) The trouble with the Mugwump consists in the fact that he dares not act politically on his own book or show his hand. Tnerc could he no graver mistake than to call the actiou of those who left the Republican party, on the ground of the reform of the Civil Service, to act with Democrats, independent in a political sense. It had no feature of that manly quality. Superiority of American Institutions From the New York World (Dem.) The imperfections of the French Constitution ought to remind us forcibly of the marvellous excellences of our own. Tf it is intended that the executive power shall be co-ordinate with and independent of the legislative, it is demon strated by the present French crisis that the people and not the Legislature should elect the President, and that he should form his min istry upon the American and not the English plan. The I ish Vote Rejected. From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat (Rep.) Mr. Blaine's friends are making a great mis take in dwelling so strongly as they do upon the support of the Irish vote. Every other Repub lican mentioned for the nomination is just as “Bound'* on the Irish Question as Mr. Blaine, and just as well entitled to the Irish vote. There is such a thing as losing some of the American vote by reaching too far after the Irish vote, and Mr. Blaine may find himself in that position. There is already strong talk of an American par.y, which, if organized, would cost Mr. Blaine more votes than he is likely to get from the Irish. BRIGHT BITS.

A Wild West cowboy lounged into the Hol born restaurant, in London, for a lunch, one day last summer. He ordered a steak very rare, almost raw, in fact. The cowboy contem plated it for a moment, and theu drew a re volver from his belt and began firing shot after shot into the dish of meat. There was a panic in the room; the guests rushed pell mell for the door, and the police bounced in from the street. The cowboy had emptied his revolver before the proprietor of the restaurant, backed up by a squad of policemen, dared to approach. “What on earth do you mean by this con duct?” demanded the restaurateur. “What do l mean, parti? Why,” pointing to the steak, “l wanted to kill the tliiug.”— Pittsbui g Dispatch. PERSONAL. Herbert Spencer, when in good health, plays lawn tennis with enjoyment. One of Gov.

President Ci.eve land is to take lessons in horse back riding this winter. When lie learned that the Washington Hiding Academy was to be started he was one of the first to become a subscriber. The academy will be opened about Dee. 10. The President’s lessons will take place in the early morning. A large, strong horse for his especial use is to be secured. It has not yet been decided whether Mrs. Cleveland will take lessons, hut the chances are that she will. All the Cabinet ladies will patronize the academy. As Good a4 Gold. From the Buffalo Express. “Why do you wear that nickel on your watch chain?” asked a City Hall attache of a milkman who was after a Board of Health permit to ped dle cow-juice. “I wear it as a reminder to get even with one of my customers,” was the an swer. “Over a year ago 1 took that nickel, which was then beautifully gold-plated, os a $5 Sold pie e in payment of a hill. As soon as 1 etected the fraud I took it back to the woman who passed it on me, but she refused to make it good. So I attached it to my watch chain and kept on supplying her with milk as though nothing had happened. But now every day l make her auart one-fourth w ater, and once a week I credit her with one-fourth the amount of her milk bill in a book which I keep for that purpose. When the sum total standing to her credit is $4 95, she shall have pure milk once more, and not until then. She knows the milk is watered, but whenever she show’s an inclina tion to complain, I handle the nickel and say that my milk is as ‘pure os gold.' That settles ITEMS OF INTEREST. Snow to a depth of fourteen inches is reported to have fallen at Stratton, Me., during the post week. * While dipping the foundation for a stable in New Brunswick, JC. J Saturday, workmen up turned nine skeletons. Paris police have resolved to abolish street mendicancy this winter, and special detectives have been enpaped lo assist the crusade. There is a chain of prairie dog towns alonp the Texas and Pacific railroad for a distance of 100 miles, some of the villages covering five acres of ground, Hunters say it is almost im possible to kill one of the dogs and get his body, so quickly does he dive into his hole at the ex plosion of a pun. Deluging their holes with water will not drive them out. There was a large congregation in the Italian Church of St. Peter, London, recently on the occasion of a requiem high mass for Father Kirner, who was recently lulled by the fall of the school building which he was erecting in New York. From tlie time of the opening of the Italian church in London, in 186-3, until sent to New York, about four years ago, Father Kirner was the rector of the London church. He. was also for many years a representative of a ward in one of the divisions of the London Board of Guardians. Somebody is trying to float in London a dis trict messenger company after the American plan. The public is being solicited to subscribe for 10,0)0 shares of stock at $5 a share. It is announced as a scheme “for providing the pub lic with reliable messengers, and for affording a means of livelihood for deserving lads." The charge is to be a penny a mile, and the boys are to be paid at the of about Cc. an hour. Their uniform is to be dark gray with royal blue facings, and to have the company’s name conspicuously on the cap. Three years ago Mrs. George Winter, of Cin cinnati, swallowed a piece of bone. It went the “wrong way,” through her windpipe, and into a lung, where it lodged. She suffered great pain, and had frequent hemorrhages of the lungs, and from a flout woman wasted until she was almost a skeleton. A few days ago, after a tre mendous lit of coughing, accompanied by a hemorrhage, she felt a stinging pain in her side. The pain seemed to rise, and as it went up through her throat she felt a hard substance emerge from the windpipe into her mouth. It was the bone she had swallowed three years be fore. She is now recovering her health. Carl Scheben, of Kansas City, has a coin said to be very valuable. It is one of seventeen gold pieces coined at the mint in For some un explained reason the dies were destroyed after these coins were made. It is a curious piece of United States money, of the face value of $4. One side, bears the head of the Goddess of Lib erty, the date 1879, and around the rim there are thirteen stars with the following figures and letters between them: “6, G, 3, S, 7, C, 7, G, R, A, M. S.” On the reverse side is a five-point star in the centre, underneath which is the word •‘Met.” In the circle outside the stars are the inscriptions: “E Pluribus Uuum” and “Deo Est Gloria.” There is still another circle out side this inscription, bearing the words, “United States of America. Four Dol.” The Pope has an annual income of $025,000, it is said, from the interest on the English bonds left in the treasury by his predecessor. He is also said to be a great speculator, subscribing for the Italian loans, holding them for a rise, and selling them to invest the profits in more English bonds. The Peter's pence is now' said to amount to about $415,000 a year. This money and the income of the English bonds goes to pay $5,000 a year to each Cardinal living in Koine, and to pay the prelates of the Paixal Court, secretaries, nuncios, guards and other Papal servants. Besides this the Pope receives from the Apostolic Chancery sums for titles of nobility. Papal decorations, benedictions in the article of death, privileges of the altar, private dispensations and other things, the total amount being, it is said, $520,000 a year. The Pope's annual income, therefore, is about &L 500,000. The Mint at Hamburg, Germany, has received a contract for 25,000,000 bronze coins which will constitute anew currency of the kingdom of Siam. The coins will be of several denomina tions, and will l>ear on one side the portrait of the King of Siam, while on the other side will he an allegorical figure representing Genius. A Westphalian firm furnished the metal. The new' coinage will replace the present zinc currency, and the number issued is about five coins per head for the population of Siam. It will keep the Hamburg Mint busy for five months. As re cently as 1860 the Siamese silver coinage still consisted of roughly spherical pieces of silver of various sizes, which were formed of portions of silver rods, which were first bent together and afterward trimmed at the ends and hammered, the whole being stamped with two or three de vices denoting the value. In 1861 the Siamese Embassy to England made a contract with a Birmingham firm for the circular silver coinage of seven denominations, which has since been the money of the realm. Thanks in Old Age.

For braver, stronger, more devoted men—(a special laurel ere I go to life’s war’s chosen one, The cannoneers of song and thought—the great artillerymen—the foremost leaders, cap tains of the soul); A soldier from an ended war return’d—as trav eler out of myriads, to the long procession retrospective, Thanks—joyful thanks!—a soldier’s, traveler’s thanks. —Walt Whitman. Cleveland Prefers Youn? Men. Washington Cor. Baltimore American. One of the first t hings a Democratic Congress man does when lie gets into town now inlays js to run iijli to the White House aiul report to the chief. The old birds—those who have been in Congress before—know what it is to keen on Cleveland's good side, hence their visits. The young ones must go and show' themselves off. As yet there are few of the new members here, the time for their arrival not having come yet, for anew member seldom makes his appear ance before Thanksgiving. Cleveland, how ever, is on the outlook for the young men. He be lieves, like Tilden, that the young men are the ones to gather round him. Old men are full of devices and plans. The young men like to be put in responsible positions and are true to their natrons. Not many days ago a well-known Democrat from the West called at the While House with a young politician from down East. “You see,” said the Democrat to the Presi dent, “this is a young man, but he is high up in his State.” “That’s all right," replied the President. “I always like the young men and choose them be cause they stick to you when you want friends. That’s my policy—look out fertile young men.” So it seems. He has young Whitney in his Cabinet. He put in Fairchild when older men were urged for the place. He put Vilas in La mar’s place, and Vilas is still young. He picks out Dickinson, another young politician, for the vacancy. Rather Embarrassing. From the Brooklyn Eagle. How great a difference it makes to us with whom wo come in contact with in this world. The Rambler was reminded of this fact by an incident which happened in a Flushing avenue car the other day. A good-looking, well-dressed young man was one of three or four passengers who were standing. He was reading a paper and so did not notice the turn in the street. Consentient ly he was landed unceremoniously in the lap of a young woman who happened to lie sitting opposite him. He arose as quickly as possible, made his apologies and resumed his iiaper, but not in peace, for the young w oman began to giggle. “Nothing strange in that," you may say. No, only that her actions were such as to convince the young man that she thought his down sitting was partly intentional. Ho began to grow uncomfortable. The implication was too much for him. Why? the young woman had a plain face and figure. In fact she was very plain, r. er features were so devoid of lines of beauty that they were enough to haunt one’s dreams. As he looked upon her and realized her suspicion he begin to color. First his face took on a delicate pink, then, as the three pretty girls in the car smiled sympa thetically, a reddish hue appeared. Finally the rest of the passengers took in the situation, and several brood grins could be seen. By this time the poor fellows face was scarlet, and when a small lioy put his hand over his mouth and snickered audibly, he went out on the front platform to have a talk with the driver. If the heroine of this little incident had been one of the pretty girls—well, if— BAKING POWDER. e~s PERFECT Its superior excellence proven In millions of homes for more than a quarter of a century.
