The la e Wilkie Collins made literature
pecuniarily successful. His estate is valued
at more than SIOO,OOO.
White Caps have not been run out of
Pennsylvania or Ohio. This should be the
occusion for some vigorous edito: ials iu the
republican organ*.
It will strike some people that those Illi
nois blacks who ore ‘‘reaoluting” about
southern colored people are niaki g fools
of themselves, or are being made fools of.
A Philadelphia milliner said the other
day: “Do you know that mice have a taste
for artificial flowers? Well, they have.”
Why, certainly they have. They have a
taste for everything except tne cheese which
is intended to lure them into a tr ip.
There seems to be considerable uncer
tainty about Mr, Randall's physical condi
tion, It is represented in some dispatches
as bei g such that he will never be able to
re-enter congreis, and in others as being
very good. His puysician expected to take
him to Washington yesterday.
Nobody has offered to add 1100,000 to the
SIOO,OJU which Mr. Joseph Pair.zer, of t e
New York WorUi, togive to secure
the location of the world’s fair in New York.
Mr. Pulitzer offered to be one of twenty-five
togive that amount. Perhaps it was thought
that be was only seeking an advertisement.
James Morgan, of Martinsville, lud., is
82 years old, but he has just been mar
ried to a woman who is fair, fat and 47.
Mr. Morgan is weil off, and he advertised
that he would give $5,000 to the woman
■who u arned him. He received hun
dreds of letters from bashful maidens who
were ready bo jump at his offer.
Sim Coy was elected a councilman at the
reoent Indianapolis election. Simeon is the
man whom President Harrison pard ,ned
out of the penitentiary, on the recommenda
tion of prominent Indiana republicans.
He is a democrat, and he was iu the peni
tentiary for committing election frauds.
He ought to be there now, unless there is a
reasonable doubt of his guilt.
Congressman Burrows, of Michigan,
spoke for Mahone in Richmond a few nights
ago. He was introduced by a grand army
man named Allen, who sail that the de
moralized condition of the Virginia democ
racy showed the wisdom of the republicans
in nominating Mahoue. Alien is very
much off bis base. The nomination of
Mahone bar i ionized the Virginia democrats
as nothing else would.
The Duchess of Marlborougn, better
known in this country as the wealthy Mrs.
Hamersley. has given orders, through her
attorneys, for the auctioneers to sell her
choice city property in New York. This
property is continually increasing in value,
and the determination to sell it is wondered
at by many New Yorkers. It should not
be forgotten, in this connection, that Mrs.
Hamersley has a duke to sup ort.
The prohibiti n issue in New Jersey is
bothering Gen. Grubb a good deal. The
general’s sentiments w ith regard to prohi
bition are anxiously awaited, but he is
averse to giving them. It was thought
that he would express himself upon the sub
ject in a letter accepting the republican
nomination for governor, but he announces
that, huvlcg verbally accepted the nomina
tion, be will not write a letter. Grubb
seems to be an artful dodger.
Republican organs are referring proudly
to a letter from Mr. Joseph Holt, who for
some years was judge advocate general of
the army, by appointment of Mr. Lincolr,
upholding Assistant Secretary Bussey’s
decison that ex-soldie-s who were dis
horn.rably discharged are ent ted to

Appeals of Northern Blacks.
The blacks of the north are rather active
at p esant in pis-iog resolutions calling on
the government to suppress allege! out
rages upon the blacks ia the south. A
committee of the National Colored Baptist
Ass ciati n, which wa- recently in session in
Indiana oLx, pr seated a series of resolu
tions to the President on Tuesday, in w. ic-n
be was asked to take notice of alleged bad
t.eiticent of blacks in the south on ac
count of their col r, aad oj Wednesday the
conference of colored men of Illinois, at
Springfield, in that stats, ad opted resolu
tions similar to tho-e ad >pted by the black
Baptist association at Indianap iis.
There is a a impression that tan President
intends in his annual message to call atten
tion to the alleged outrages of which the
northern blacks compla n, and to a-k
congress to provide a remedy for them.
This impression may be an erroneous one.
If it isn’t, it i3 to lie hoped that the Presi
dent will carefully investigate the outrage
stor.es before accepting them as truo. He
would do the southern peopio g eat injustice
if be were t o ass .me that these stories are
true. Before recommending legislation of
any kind relating to rae? tr übles in the
south, he should be certain about the facts
upon which he relies.
Doubtless the northern blacks who are
adopting resolu ions of the kind referred
to are honest. Tuey believe all the outrage
sto: ies n hich appear in the northern repub
lican newspapers. It never occurs to them
that perhaps most of the stories are either
untrue or gross exaggerations.
The truth is that there is seldom any
trouble between the white.? and blacks in
the south. There is a good deal of
trouble, however, among the blacks;
iu fact, about nine-tenths of all the dis
turbances in the south are the direct result
of disag eemo.ots among themselves. The
blacks in some localiLie? are n .t only law
less, tut they will not submit to arrest
When approached by an officer without a
struggle. The refusal to lie arrested not
infrequently brings the whites aud bla ks
into collision, because the officers cal up
white men to assist them in discharging
their duty.
There are very few blacks in the south who
are harmed by the whites. Now and then n
white man aud ablackone have a difficulty
of some sort, and friend? of eaeh are drawn
into it, but do not such difficulties occur in
all parts of the country?
As fa- as prejudice against the blacks is
concerned,it is a? noticeable in the north as
in the sou h. The whites are exceedingly
friendly with the blacks ia the south, and
get along with them remarkably welL If
the num er of blacks in the south were no
greater than it is in the north, there would
be no negro problem to be solved. The
blacks would not b? heard of ofteaer than
they are in the north. There would be no
rac? collisions, became tne conditions
would not exist which maks them possible.
On account of their number* the bla ks
in (he south are more aggressive than those
in the north, and they do not Lestitate to
make tbeir aggressiveness offe :sive. They
demand more than they are entitled to, and
insist upon having privileges and occupy
ing positions for whica they are not pre
pared. They are not willing to prenare
tnemelvcs for the duties w..ich citize .ship
imposes upon them. They seek rewards
without being able to earn the u. To stand
aside and let them have their way in every
thing would be nothing lox than to invite
ruin.
The blacks in the south have nothing to
complain of. Nowhere else in the world is
there ape pie occupying their position in
the social fabric who have so much to be
thankful for. They are not oppressed in
any way. They are paid good wages and
can haveco.nfortable ho nes with plenty to
eat and stood clothes. Only a few pay taxes,
and yet school* are provided for the children
ot all of them. They are batter off by far
than the poor of the great citiei or the
factory and mining tiwns of the north.
The assertion of tae northern blacis, in
their resolutions presented to the President,
that outrages are committed upon the
southern blacks because of prejudice
against their color, is ail nonsense, unless
it be an outrage to refuse to receive the
blacks as social equals. The northern
blacks, however, ought not to make any
complaint for the southern blacks on that
account, because they themselves are dis
criminated against in the north. In fact,
in the north there is an antipathy to the
blacks which does not exist in the south.
If the President is the friend of the south
ern blacks, ho will not be influenced by the
resolutions and appeals of the northern
blacks in their behalf. He will leave all
matters relating to the race problem out of
his communications to congress, because
that problem can be worked out more
quickly by the people without the aid of
the government than with it. If he calh
attention to the allege 1 outrages, however,
and makes recommend itions with regard
to them, it may be assumed that he does so
not for the g jod of the blacks, but for
partisan purposes.
Bishop H. M. Turner says in the New
York Age, referring to the colored people:
“Our condition as a race, up to the present,
was far better under Cleveland than it is
under Harrison. Harrison is giving as
much attention to tho wails and dying
groausof the negro, south and west, as he
is to the bark of a dog. Say what you will
about the impote ,cy of the Hayes adminis
tration and tlie general weakness of the
man, bat unless President Harrison changes
soon. President Hayes will stand in history,
compared with Harrison,as a giant compared
with a lilliputian. Harrisou by odds is the
weakest man that ever sat in the presi
dential chair, and will receive the curses of
millions at the rate he is now bestiring
himself.’’ The bishop is evidently trying
to arousthe Preside it into some sort of
activity iu behalf of the blacks.
The death of Capt. A. A. Adams in Ameri
cus the other day leaves only one of a large
family of brothers who have left im
press in Middle Georgia particularly, and in
the state generally. They were the sous of
the late Col William E. Adams, of Eaton
tou, who served in one of t:,e Florida wars,
and who was one of the early settlers of
Putnam county, Georgia. Each was a man
of splendid physique and of striking per
sonal appearance, and by reason of his in
tellectual and social qualities was nromi
neut in both tho public and social affairs of
his section.
A novel coincidence was brought to light
in tho Chicago courts the other day. A
wealthy ieal estate dealer applied for a di
vorce from his wife, without her knowl
edge, and on the same day that the petition
was heard, a petition of his wife for divorce
was heard iu another court, he having had
uo previous knowledge of it. The divorce
miil of Chicago does some asUmlsuiug work.
THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 188t>.
Success of Ballot Reform.
The Australia* ballot system is in force
in Connecticut, aad it was tried in that
state for the fir t time at the prohibition
election a few days ago. It is also in force
in Monta a, an J the recent election in that
terri ory was held under it. In both C <n
necticut and Montana a great deal i? said
in p aise of it. It was thought taat voting
under it would be very slow, but each was
not the case. There was plenty of time to
cast all the ballots that were offered.
It is probable that this sv.tem of ballot
ing, or an improvement upon it, wfll he
ai ipted eventually by all tae other states.
L’ndrrit extensive bri ery and intimida
tion are almost impossible. The v ter
enters a booth where, beng entirely alone,
he prepares his ballot. No one except the
one depositing his ballot caa approach
within thirty feet of the polls. The voter,
therefore, is able to deposit a seeret ballot.
There will not t>e many votes bought wnen
those who and > the bj • i ;gcannot be sure that
those who sell their votes comply with tbeir
agreements.
It is thought that the reform ballot sys
tem will not be very popular with employ
ers in manufacturing canters, beciu<e it
will prevent thsm from controlling the
votes of tbeir employes. It i? known that
in many northern maßufactaring towns the
employers prepare tne ballots for their em
ployes. The penalty fnr voting contrary to
the wishes of employers is dismisAl from
employment. Tne employes go to the polls
in gangs, u ,d?r the leadership of a boa or
foreman, who sees that the ballots supplied
to them are put int t the ballot box.
The reform ballot system wiil prevent
that kind of in i.nidation. and will enable
employes to vote as they please. It wiil
also break up the “blocks of five” plan of
carrying elections, and for that reason it is
probable that Henator Quay and CoL Dud
ley are not in favor of it. However, the
people are more desirous of having honest
elections than they are to plea.se Mes rs.

The City Needs a Few Trees.
The council might do something in the
wav of tree plantisg with great benefit to
the city as soon as the proper season arrives.
The e are streets on which a few tree? are
greatly needed, and among them are streets
which are noted for their shade trees.
There are great spaces, entirely free
of tree* on the sides of these street*, and
consequently they present, ia some
parts, a rather ragged appearasro. On
•South Broad street, and also on Bail street,
there are places where there ought to be
trees planted. Everybody acquainted wi*a
tb.se streets knows where these places are.
If the property holders refuse to plant
trees the city ought to do it and assess the
cost against the property, if that is per
rais-inle, and if it isn't, the city ought to
plant thß trees at its own expense.
Care ought to be taken to get trees that
are n >t only suitable to the sou and climate
of this locality, but also t iat grow rapidly
and are ornamental. There are th se in
the city who are well inf irmed with re
spect to trees suitable for this locality, and
they would assist the council gladly, doubt
less, in selecting trees.
There are squares iu which more trees
are needed, aid in many parts of the city
there are trees that should be replaced by
others. Dying tr ee cannot be removed
too soon. They are dangerous in times of
storms, and, bes.dss, it is important to get
young and healthy trees planted as soon as
possible.
The fire of April 6 injured quite a num
ber of fine trees. The most of them will
die, if they are not already dead. Those
of them which show signs of life are so
marred that they are unsightly. These
trees ought to be replaced by others this
season. It will be a mistake to wait for
the buildings to be replaced, because the
lots in some instances may remain vacant
for sever 1 1 years.
Let us have a revival in tree planting.
The chief charm of Savannah is her trees.
She is beginning to lose her charm, and
will lose it altogether if her people and
officials do not show more interest in tree
planting.
The attention of northern republican
organs is directed to the following special
from Cadiz, 0., to tbe Philadelphia Times:
“Great excitement was occasioned here this
morning by the discovery' that a mob had
made an attack upon the residence of James
Weston the outskirts of the town, during
the night, and had utterly demolished it.
West, who is an i offensive colored man,
always enjoying the reputation of being a
good citizen, was ab-ent 'when the visitors
made their appearance. They forced open
the door, compelled Mrs. West and her chil
dren to vacate the premises, and then, after
destroying the furniture, they pulled down
the house. The men hive not boeu identi
fied and their motive is unknown.” The
northern republican organs did not print
this news. The fact is that Cadiz is in
Ohio, and not in the south. Will Gov.
Foraker open his capacious mouth on the
subject?
J udge Gresham refuses to indorse applica
tions for appointment to office under Presi
dent Harrison. In a recent letter to a
friend who asked his indorsement, he said:
“Thus far I have not attempted, directly or
indirectly, to interfere in the distribution
of federal patronage. Situated as I am, I
think, upon reflection, you will agree that
this is the proper course for me to pursue.
While I would be glad to oh ige you person
ally, I do not feel at liberty to depart from
the rule stated, and do not think it would
do you any good ,if I did. I have no doubt
that the appointments in your state will b <
controlled by the local politicians.” The
natural inference is that the relations be
tween Judge Gresham and the President are
strained.
Father Boyle, who the other day was
sentenced to tie hanged Nov. 25) for having
assaulted a little girl in North Carolina, is
confide t that he will never be hanged.
His counsel expect to secure anew trial.
Father Boyle in the meantime is in jail in
Raleigh, anu keeps in quite a good humor.
He is a highly educated man, but his past
life has not been a creditable one. He was
forced to leave his church at Mound City,
111., for unpriestly conduct. He is a native
Pennsylvanian. The judge said in his
charge to the jury that the only evidence
was that of the prosecutrix and the
prisoner—the latter having his life at stake,
atid the former her character. The jury
was out only an hour.
Mr. Murat Haistead doesn’t want to dis
cuss the tariff question with Mr. M. O.
Harter, and nobody blames him. Mr. Har
ter’s address, ujiou assuming the chaii man
ship of tbe recent democratic state conven
tion of Ohio, shows that he is a very able
man, and that he knows all about the tariff.
That is not tbe kind of man for Halstead to
tackle.

Disgruntled Canadians.
Ftom Texas biftings.
Whenever the Canadians have any little
gneva ce Against urn United States, their
journals are rilled with lamentations. TLey
complain that the English government treats
Canada like a step-caiid, and the queen herself
is urged to take pity on the suffering Canadians.
Any one who reads the Canadian papers cannot
help feed ig sorry for tke unfortunate Victims
of lankee rapacity.
At the same time a suspicion is created that
a good deal of this weeping and wailing is
mere y for effect. In fact, the Canadian news
papers seem glad to have a chance to lament.
The Canadian press is very much like Mrs.
Mulcacby, when she said to her neighbor:
“My little bye Teddy is very bad off. He has
a caugh that sounds loike an impty barrel.
Teddy, caugh for the lady."
The little boy up In Canada is certainly mak
ing a very earnest effort to excite the sym
pathies of the queen.
His Lovely Innocence.
From the Albany Express,
It had rained all the long dreary day, and
Little Lord Fauntieroy's golden curls were be
draggled and wet, and his nice collar hung limp
adowu his slender shoulders, when he came
home at 4:lso'clock and tossed his schoolbooks
cat which lay by the hearth.
‘'Grandpa,” he said softly, as he came to
where the old man was quietly sitting, smoking
and thinking, “I thought all brides were of the
female sex.”
‘"Hiey are, child; theyare. Why do you make
such an odd remark?”
? eC t ause ' B r a-ndpa, in looking over my geog
raphy lesson I came upon the Hebrides. Are
they females, too? And if so. why are they

his grandsire's fac * witu an anxious, eager
look in his gobelin-blue eyes, which showed
how great was his desire to be informed cor
rectly.
,'*®° aw *y child; you weary me,” said the
man * And Little I>ord Fauntleroy crept
sadly away, and did not smile again, even once,
all the remainder of the day.
Almost Sorry His Side Won.
From the New York Tribune.
Congressman William E. Mason of Chicago
has been in town, lie stopped at Deer Park on
his way and told the President a few good
stories, and incidentally mentioned that he
knew-the two men who ought to be respectively
appraiser and internal revenue collector at Ohi
cagj. I rather suspect that before Mason left
tne President s dinner table he fed his Host with
that story which he rehearsed, with anew
roora l , to a group or friends here the other day.
i nis business of gettiug offices for your de
serving friends, while it is a .abor of love, not
to say a work of gratitude, is very tedious, and
it sometimes makes one extremely weary,”
said Mason. “It reminds me of tne man out
west who spent so much time and money in
litigation over his father's estate. He had been
at it some seven years when one day he re
turned home from court looking more despond
ent than ever, and his wife asked him:
“ ‘Well, did your case come up for trial
this time?'
“ ‘No, Susan, it was postponed again. I've
been trying for seven years to get it decided,
and every dollar I have earned in the meantime
has gone to the lawyers. 1 Then, bringing bis
clenched fist down on the suop r table, the dis
gusted heir exclaimed: ‘I tell you. Susan, t
sometimes feel almost sorry that dad died. 1 11
He Will Look Further.
There were four or five men in a Grand River
avenue butcher shop the other day, says the
Detroit Free Press , when a man came in. looked
them carefully ovt*r, and inquired:
“Which of you is named I’ojoniiis?”
“None of us,” answered one.
“Sure?”
“Of course we are.”
“Just my luck. I wanted to lick a man named
Polomus. I expected to rind him here. I've
been to a good deal of trouble in chasing around
after him, aud it seems too bad to get left
again.”
“Yes it does,” replied the biggest one of the
lot in a reflective way.
“Polomus hasn't any friends here, has he?”
“He might have.”
“Bully. In that case one of them might want
to take his place, you know.”
“Yes; perhaps I might.”
“If you only would: Say, I can hammer you
to squash in two minutes!”
“Out here in the alley?”
“Yes.”
“Now?”
“Right off.”
“Well, let's see if you can!”
All went out, the two flung off their coats, and
it wasn't more than a minute before the man
who was looking for Polonius grabbed his coat
aud ran down the alley, just escaping a kick
which stove in the head of a barrel of pork.
“Come back aud be a man:'' shouted the vic
tor. as he waved his fists in the air.
“Not this afternoon!” shouted the other in
reply. “I'm a-looking for Polonius, I am. Po
lonius is a thin, short man, weighing about 100
pounds.”
The Wrong Daugherty.
“I was never made to feel quite so small in all
my life.” said Daniel Dougherty to a partv of
lawyers yesterday, ‘as I was on my last visit to
the Italian capital. Standing on one of the
seats in the ruined Colseum, I seemed to see
re-enacted in the arena below the scenes of
gladiatorial days. I had peopled the vast audi
torium with the Roman populace, absorbed in
contemplation of the terrible strujgle between
man and beast that my imagination had con
jured up.” Said one of the listening lawyers,
sotto voce, “Rats!”
“I could almost hear,” resumed the gifted
orator, “the groans of the poor wretches whose
vitals were being rent by the savage brutes
against whom they were so unevenly pitted.”
Another lawyer quietly rung one of the Phila
delphia "chestnut bells.”
“Lost thus iu my thoughts,” continued the
poetic pleader from Philadelphia, "I was startled
almost out of my boots by a most tremendous
whack on the shoulder. When Iha 1 somewhat
regained my composure and a modicum of dig
nity, I demanded of my assailant an explana
tion of his unconventional behaiior.
“'Aw! I know you, you know,’ said he in
English, and with a knowing leer; ‘you're
Dougherty, of Philadelphia.'
“Admitting the soft impeachment, and, to
say truly, not a little flattered at being so rec
ognized in a foreign clime I asked the gentle
man if I had—ahem!—ever had the pleasure of
meeting him in person before.
'"Oh, no.’said he, “but I know of you very
well. The first time I ever saw you was in Lon
don. when you played short stop for the Ath
letic Base Ball Club in 1876.’ ”
They Borrow but Never Return My
Books.
William Lyle , in Rochester Union.
0 the ills of this life ate many.
And the heart-breakings not a few;
Pure sympathy comes not fr ns any.
It matt -rs not much what you do.
I can sometimes trust my umbrella.
Nor over its lingering yearn.
But the books I lend to a fellow,
They never, no, never return.
The harvest may wait for the reapers.
The tailor may sleep o'er your clothes.
But the earth is plagued with book-keepers,
And no one a cure for it knows.
The sunshine that goes from the meadows
Comes hack when the frost shall adjourn.
And the leaves play again with their shadows.
But my books will never return.
I once bad the wisdom of ages
Shut up in my glass ease for use;
Now 'tis gone, by invisible stages.
From Murray to old Mother (loose.
My Kuelld, I still can remember.
Like the odor from some ancient urn.
Went out to come back in December;
That December will not return.
lAnd your friend your dog, yea, your sister—
You will find each some day, no doubt;
But a book goes down tbe long vista,
And, ten to one. never comes out.
Do I know who I male tb* loan to?
No; but my braius I need not churn
What matters ft where they have gone to?
I know they will never return.

It will, perhaps, strike most people as some
what odd that there is a steady importation to
this country of Irish jaunting cars. According
to the carriagemakers. a certain numoer of en
thusiastic Irishmen have a yearning after their
native form of conveyance at certain periods
of their lives, and straightway send over to
Ireland for a car. Once here, however, the cars
are usually laid aside after the novelty has worn
off. Enterprising hackmen have occasionally
appeared on Madison and Union squares with
the cars, but, although they are all right in
Ireland, they seem decidedly uncomfortable in
this country.
The theatrical business in Pompeii, which has
been at a standstill since the eruption of Ve
suvius, in 19 A. D., appears to be looking up.
judging from tho following announcement of
bignor Iniigni: “After a lapse of more than
1800 vears, the theater of this city will be
opened with ‘La Figlia del Regghnento.’ I
solicit a continuance of the favors bestowed on
my predecessor, Marcus Quint s Martius, and
t eg to assure the public that 1 shall make every
effort to equal the rare qualities displayed
during his management.” Straagely enough
Manager Luigni fails to add that the theater
has been “entirely re decorated since it was last
opened to the public, and has been fitted
throughout with new, roomy an! comfortable
seats, etc ”
The new Kew Bulletin contains a memoran
dum by Mr. Duthie, botanical director tor North
ern India, on the use of the flowers of the cal
ligonum for food in Northwestern India The
use of flowers such as those of the lily in China
as a condiment is not uncommon, but it is quite
unusual to find them used as food. In the pres
ent case they are used by the poorer classes
only, and ate either mixed with flour or are
eateu separately with salt and condiments to
which a little ghee is added by those who are
able to afford it. The flowers are swept up from
the ground, and are kept for a night in a closed
earthenware vessel, so as to fade. They may be
kept for a long time. Usually they are eaten as
a vegetable, but sometimes they are kueaded
with thin alia and baked In cakes. An analysis
of the flowers shows that their chief neculiarity
from a dietetic point of view is their richness in
nitrogenous compounds, and consequently
their importance as an addition to foods which
are poor in nitrogen.
From Maria Mitchell’s “Reminiscences of
the Herschels" in the October Century, the fol
lowing is taken: “One of Sir John Herscbel’s
numerical problems was this: “If, at the time
of Cheops, or 3,000 years ago, one pair of human
beings had live I, and war, pestilence and famine
hail uot existed, and only natural death came to
man, and this pair bail doubled once in thirty
years, and their children had doubled and
so on, how large would the population of

the question. We thought they could
