Miss Elizabeth Bisland should go to Phil adelphia when she gets back to this country. Nobody is in a hurry in Philadelphia. Republican organs remark almost every day, in a would-be sarcastic way, that Mr. Cleveland is writing a great many letters to societies, political and otherwise. Per haps he is, but not too many. The burden of his letters is tariff reform—and that is why the republican organs object to their number. It is stated that Mrs. Parnell is again very much in need of money. She refuses, how ever, to appeal to the public, although, it is ssi 1, she is destitute of the actual necessities of life. There must be some mistake about this, as Mrs. Parnell has a distinguished son living in Ireland, and a well-to-do one living in Georgia. Rumors flaw thick and fast over Wash ington the other day that President Harri son was dead. When they reached Private Secretary Halford, he promptly denied them. He said that the President was eat ing three sq lare meals a day, and, besides, was attending to a good many ottice-seeker-. Tne private secretary might not be able to deny so flatly aru nor that the President was dead politically, so far as a second term Wins concerned. In a divorce suit now going on in New York a rather curious and interesting fact has been brought out. Mr. James Block ford stated that his wife, the defendant, had rev aled one of his business secrets to her brother, who is a dentist, and, as the secret was a process by which amalgam for filling the teeth was manufacture i at very low cost, and as Mrs. Blockford’s brother has been using it ever since, the husband has been cut out of a good deal of money. The New York Tribune sneaks of the •‘ingenious contrivances by which colore 1 people iu Virginia are deprived of their right to vote,” but it u'terly fails to men tion the sly scuemes by which colored people voted the republican state ticket in West Virginia with >ut being residents of the s ate, or the shameful in ithods by which republican manufacturers in the north bull dozed their employes iuto voting for Har rison, or the disgraceful use of money at elections by Quay and his lieutenants. By the time Mrs. J. Ellen Foster’s new fangled temperance society had been in ex istence three days, it had had three differ ent names, and at 4ia third christening the ■word ‘‘non-partisan” was lugged in. Con sider! ig that Mrs. Foster was a stump speaker for the republicans last fail, that she withdrew trom the old and established the new temperance organization because the old refused to be partisan in polities, and that her hu-band is holding an office under President Harrison, it may not be very unjust to suspect that the new temper ance organization is a woman’s republican club in disguise. Dom Pedro, Brazil’s ex-omperor, is writ ing the history of his life and reign, but the Ixvok will uot be published until after his death. He says that he has been silent upon the subject of the recent revolution ia Bra zil, because neither remonstrance nor dis cussion would do good. Being asked if he would return to B azil if elected president, he sard: ‘‘With all my heart. No matter whether as e nperor, president or private citizen, 1 woul 1 gladly return to die among tny people.” It wou and be a remarkable thing if the Brazilians should elect the ex-omperor president, but such an event ig within the bounds of possibility. Northern newspapers and politicians are decidedly opposed to the emigration of southern blacks, and as for the northern blacks some of them meet every few days to protest against their breture i leaving the l aou'li. Of course the people who are most " F re allv interested iu emigration s homes, such as Beuator B itlor’s, for instance, are the southern whites and blacks It is hardly probable that Senator Butler’s scheme will amount to much, but if there are any blacks who want to leave tne south, and if south ern wnitee are willing for them to go, there doesn't seem to be much occasion for north ern people to interfere. Sanitary Work. The work of out: log this and every other southern citv ii a thorough sanitary con dition should bo begu i at once. Sime sanitary work has bs> i done in this city this winter, bit a great deal r'tiiias to be done The removing of rubbiih fr om the streets is not so mu: i needed as the clean ing of the closet* of residences wmeh havn no connection with so wers. Not very long ago it was asserted by promine it physi cians that the u isa litary condition of the closets in one locality was the cause of several cases of fever in that locality. Doubtless tnero ar • many closets in differ ent parts of the city that *h uld be at tends! to immediately. Warm weather is not far away, and when it comes it will be ton late to do the kind of work that ought to be di a* now. In view of the fact that the winter has been remarkably warm, our citizons will ; be anxious as the summer months approach j about the health of the city. If they can | feel certain that there are no disease-breed - ! mg places within the city’s limits, their confidence in the continued good health of the city will be made much stronger than it would be otherwise. Confidence is in itself a preventive of sickness, because cheerful pe -pie are much less liable to be attacked by disease than those who are anxious and worried. Between now and warm weather every closet in toe city should be so treated as to remove from it every element of danger. The county commissioners, with com mendable zeal, are draining the low places in the vicinity of the city. They hive a a largo force of convicts at work in the near-by swamps, and before the spring months have passed there will be few, if any, places close to the city where water will remain on the surface long after a rain storm. With cleau closets and good drain age there need not be much fear of serious sickness. The press of this country nutl Europe con tinues to call attention to the steady pro gress which cholera is making in Asia. It is raging in Mesopotamia, and has bien for mouths. Tue latest report is that it is spreading in Asiatic Turkey, aud there are apprehensions that it will get int;o Europe by way of the Caspian or the Black sia, or through Syria. If it should reaco Europe it would be pretty certain to make its appearance in this country unless extraordinary precautions were taken to prevent its introduction. Although quarantine may keep it out, our sole reliance should n it he placid upon that. Our citios should be kept so clean that neither cholera nor any other disease would find them a congenial abidi g place. The Louisiana Bond Frauds. The trial of Maurice J. Hart, on the charge of aiding Maj. E. A. Burke, ex treasurer of Louisiana, to steal $(1)0,000 worth of bonds of the state, resulted, ac cording to our dispatches, iu a verdict of acquittal. The jury rendered a verdict without leaving the jury box. This verdict was not a surprise to those acquainted with the testimony. The state failed to •how that Hart knew that the bonds which he received from Burke were stoleu. It was brought out that other brokers had sold bonds for Burke. Hart, however, sold more th in any other one. But that fact was not suffi cient to justify the conclusion that he knew thai Burke came by the bonds in an unlaw ful manner. Hart has al ways borne a good reputation among business men of New Orleans, and it was hardly probable, there fore, that a jury would convict him unless it had satisfac'ory evidence of his guilt, however strong the impression might be that he was guilty. It is now stated that an effort is to be made to get Barko fr >m Honduras. It is thought to be probable that the legislature at its approaching session will offer a big reward for him, aad will also take steps t) induce the Honduras authorities to give him up. It would uot l>e surprising, hjwever, if nobody was ever convicted for Burke’s crimes. The state will lose nothing by his criminal acts unless tha legislature under takes to make good the bonds which he em bezzled aud sold. Those who hold the bonds are the onos who are out of pock et. The arrival of Nellie Bly in New York at the end of her journey around the world has excited general newspiper comment, some of which is quite interesting. The Philadelphia Bulletin says, for instance: “It is likely that in a few years the time for the trip will be cut down so much that the experiment will ba forgotten. Whensteam ers like the City of Paris are placed, as they eventually will be, in tha Pacific ser vice the time loetween Asia and America will be reduced at least a weak. When tue great railroad, 5,0'J0 miles long, which the government of the czar has just ordereu to be built across Asia, from Russia to the Pacific ocean, is completed, two or three weeks more will be cut off the schedule. ‘Miss Nellie Bly’ will not beau old woman when she will be able to g > round the world iu fifty days if she cares again to be whirled round the globe by fast trains and fast ships.” The Nashville American remarks that Mrs. James R. Polk, who required nearly thirty days to go from Nashville to Washington when her husbmJ was to be inaugurated President, has lived to see the day when the world could be girdled in a little more than twice thirty days. The late Senator Rid ileberger had a pretty quick temper, and when he became angry he was not unwilling t> go to the “field of honor,” so-called. Oue thing that is being recalled in connection with him is that he had two engagements for duels for the same day. At 8 o’clock a. m. he met Editor Bierne just outside Richmond. Shots were exchanged, nobody hurt, honor was satisfied, aud Mr. Riddleberg-r croised over into an adjoining field to exchange a few shots with George D. Wise, one of the best marksman iu Virginia; but a heavy rain delayed the duel, and gave the police time to interfere. Mrs. Cora May Morris, of Wentworth, N. C., will hardly be found guilty of killing her husband with chloroform. The evideuce thus far addu od seems to bo pretty strung against her, and the jury may become con vinced to a man that sho "removed” the late Mr. Morris, but there is one very g >od reason why she will not be convicted, and that is that North Caroliuiaus think she is too pretty to be haiigei. or sent to the peni tentiary. Au old citizon of Wentworth express 's the general sentiment of the place wnen he says: “Guilty or not guilty, no North Carolinian would ever convict such u pretty woman.” Senator Quay is said to he vexed with President Harrison for something or other— probably something connected with the dis tribution of spoils. The question is, how is the senator going to punish him? TIIE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, JANUARY 28, 1890. Florida’s United States Court. Although the synonsii of the speech of Sen it r Pasco, of Florida, on feleral con trol f electlois, w ;ich was te'.eg'uehed from Washington over the country, did not sh iw that he male any refers ics to the partisan acts of the fflcials of the Unite 1 States court for the northern district of Florida, in connection with the alleg'd election frau Is in that state, he dilmake such a referenc.', and a very strong one, as appeals from the full report of his speech in the Congressional Herord. The senator did not go into the details of those acts, for the reas in that the acts will be Inquired into by the Senate, the nominations of the officials to the positions they now hold being before that body f>r c mfimiation. In speaking of the United Status court at Jacksonville, he eailei attention to the letter witten by Mar shal Mizell to a citizen of Volusia county, directing the citizen in question to males out a “list of fifty or sixty names of true and tried republicans” for jurors in the United States court, uni to forward the same to the clerk, Mr. Walter. The senator said: “At the beginning of the court it was charged by counsel representing some of the dofenda its that a grand jury had been improperly formed under the im partial jury law, in which twenty-two out of twenty-three grand juror3 were republi cans. It was charged that that jury was purposely mode partisan by the action of the officers of the court, who, in violation of law, did not select the jury without regard to party affiliations. Tho effort made before the dis rict judge to have that matter investigated failed. Subsequently, when the circuit judge came there, an 1 the point was again raised in another case by plea, the court said the matter must be in quired into, and the district attorney was obliged to join issue upon the plea. Issue was joined, aud iu bring ing out the testimony on that issue a letter from the marshal was read an and offered in evidence, Mr. Walter, the clerk, a republican, took no pains to answer tho letter, nor did he inquire why these naiuis were sent to him, but entered them upon the jury list in tho exact order iu which they came through this correspondence, but the judge refused even to all iw the letter to be received in evidence; he ruled that the clerk was not connected with it. Tho letter was written by the marshal. The list was sent back by the clerk. The clerk did not write back to tne corresp indent to know why those names hal been seat on, but simply accepted the n, and yet was uot con nected with the marshal's lettor, and the partisan jury was sustained. By methods of which this is only a sample a erand jury, comprising twenty-two republicans out of twenty-three grand jurors, was organized, and a great many indictments found against the people of my state by this partisan jury.” This statement cannot be successfully denied, and it is not possible to see how the Senate can consistently confirm the nomi nations of the federal court officials of the northern Florida district. Jt it does con firm them it will say, in effect, that it ap proves tha partisan acts of these officials, and that the law may be violated with impunity in cases in which the personal liberty of democrats is involved, provided the republicans can gain a political advant age thereby, or gratify their partisan hate. Let us see if the Senate wili place itself on record as approving such aots. A Preposterous Statement. Kvr-ry now and then some republican jumps up, cracks his heels together, and de clares that the Republican party alone brought about the abolition of slavery. Those who make such a statement don’t ex pect intelligent and well-informed people to believe it. They don’t believe it them selves. In fact, they know that it is absurd and untrue, but it answers the purposes for which it was made, viz.: to deceive ignorant white people iu the north aud colored peo ple in the south. Probably Senator Ingalls understands this quite as well as anybody else, and yet he said in his speech on the race problem the other day: “Politically, the colore 1 people are affiliated with the victors in the late civil war.” Here we have the plain in ference that the union army was composed entirely of republicans, and that the aboli tion of slavoqv, which was one of the re sults of the war, was, therefore, solely the work of republicans. Senator Ingalls knows very well that there were almost as many democrats as republicans in the union army. He knows that Gen. Grant, who, it is claimed, did more than any one else to achieve victory for the union side, voted for Buchanan for Preiidont in 1856, and was a democrat until the Republican party nominated him for President. He knows that Gen. Logan was sent to the Illinois legislature as a demo crat several times before the war, was a presidential elwt,or on the Buchanan and Breckinridge ticket in 1856, was elected to congress as a democrat in 1858, aud voted for Stephen A. Douglas for Presi dent in 1860. He knows that prominent union generals like Hancock and McClellan were democrats to the day of their death, but he has so little regard for the truth that he refers to the Republican party as the victors iu the late civil war, just as if all the republicans had fought on one side, and ail of the democrats on the other. It will strike the public that a mau who deliberately makes such a statement as that of Senat r lugalls is not fit ed to take part in the attempt to settle the race prob lem, Mr. Blaine has a very warm admirer in Col. Pride of Idaho. Indeed, so greatly does Col. Pride admire Mr. Blaine, and so loudly does he sing his praises, that he is known throughout the territory as “Blaine.” It seems that the Col. has a young friend whom he wants appointed to a consulship, and he was not slo w in im parting to Mr. Blaine the fact of his (Pride’s) love for him (the secretary). Said he: “I ask this appointment as a personal favor. I have been a Blaine tuaa for years. lam so good a friend of yours that on one occasion, when a man coupled your name with an opprobrious epithet, I knocked him down aud kicked him. Now I want to know if you will stand by rao as I have stood by you.” Mr. Blaine lau ghei. He said that tbe argument was a good one, and Col* Pride went his way rejoicing iu the belief that the appointment would bo made. The New York Star has information thnt it has been agreed informally by the Senate elections committee that the Montana sena torial contest shall be remanded back to the people, both democratic aud republican members of it agreeing that tbe certificates of neither set of senators are regul ir. If his should be done, Gov. Toole would ap point the senators, who would act uutil a choice was made by the legislature. CURRENT COMMENT. Borne Comfort For Foraker.

One of the things about tho tariff is that its most solid support comes from the people who are the 1-ast protected, and the most heavily taxed in proportion to their means.

From the Washington Post. The late Judge Kelley did not indulge a great deal in humor His inclination was in the direc tion of the most serf *us a id practical subjects, and he found no time for joking. Yet he had one joke which he us-*d on all occasions when the opportunity afforded. To the newspaper men whom he knew well he was always frank and outspoken, depending upon their good faith to present nis ideas and not his exact words. Consequently when his feel ings were stirred up in the course of an interview, he would use the most forcible language, sometimes liberally interspersed wiih profanity. He would know at the time that his language was too strong, but that the experienced Washington correspondent was not likely to take advantage of it. So he would say at the close of an interview: ‘‘Re member. my boy, and only print my ideas, not my words, for I talk to you as a ge&tlemau, an 1 not as a newspaper man." It was the Joke in which the judge indulge i. Occasionally he wool 1 spring it on some ten lerfoot corre spondent, who would go snortiiig around the Row ab >ut Kelley’s insult to journalism, only to lie laughed at by the old veterans who haci been ‘'insulted" by the same joke in 'OS. The Stove in the Vtlag’e Store. Mrs. K. A. Treat in Hardware. When the twilight had deepneed to darkness They gathered from far and near, Old farmers who plodded the distance As pilgrims their shrines to revere; At the shabby ol i store at the "corners'' They met and then entered the door, For the Mecca of all these old cronies Was the stove in the old village store. It wa guiltless of beauty or polish. And its door was unskillfully hung. But they made a glad circle around it. And the genial warmth loosened each tongue: And they talked of the crops and the weather. Twin subjects to gossips most dear. And the smoke from their pipes as it blended Gave a tinge to the whole atmosphere. Full many t :e tales they related. And wondrous the yarns they spun. And doubtful the facts thevstated, And harm ess the wit anu the fun; But if ever discussions grew heated It was all without tumult or din. And they gave their respectful attention When a customer chanced to come in. When the evening was spent and the hour For the time of their parting had come, They rapped from their pipes the warm ashes, And reluctantly starte i lor home: Agreeing to meet on t >e morrow When the day, with its labor, was o'er, For the Mecca of all the oid cronies Was the stove in the old village store. Too Big- a Dose. From the New York Tribune. With the publication of tue report of the At torney General all of the annual reports of the members ot the cabinet are “out.’’ All of them have been published broadcast; some of them widely read. The preparation of these reports is a task that is dreaded by the heads of depart ments. They have to watch each sentence in the document to see that it is not susceptible of two constructions, one of them possibly unde sirable. After they have read over arid over again the report, they develop a horror of it that, can only be compared with tlie feeling of the little boy who has surreptitiously obtained possession of his big sister s box of candy. One of the secretaries, speaking of the task which he tui I accomplished, said a few days ago: **l felt, before I had finished my report, like the convicted murderer who had carefully* studied an appeal for mercy which he was to make before sentence was passed upon him Tne speech was prepared by his attorn y, and when it was read to him the criminal broke down and sobbed aloud. “ ‘That will certainly move the judge,* he said. ‘lt cannot fail to move him.* “A day or two later the lawyer called to see if the speech had been committed to memory prop rly. The criminal looked somewhat dis consolate. “ ‘l don't think that is a very good speech.' he said. “‘Not good!’ said the attorney. ‘Why, you cried when you first heard it.’ “‘I know I did,’ said the criminal, ‘but that was before 1 had studie i it. Every time I have bee i over it I have liked it less; and to tell you the truth, I am so tired of it by this time, I rea ly believe I would rather be hauged than deliver it.’ “And that was about my attitude toward my report before I had completed it,” said the sec retary in conclusion. An Object Lesson Sermon. From the Denver Republican. The author of ‘‘Reminiscenses of a Literary and Clerical Life,’’ himself a clergyman, nar rates an amusing anecdote which his reverend grandfather used to tell about an ignorant young couple in his parish. The old minister had married them, but the marriage had turned out to be ill-a ivised, and after a while things came to a desperate pass. The couple bad vast, undefined ideas of w hat a re tor could do, and it entered into their foolish min is that he might be able to undo their unhappy marriage, bo they ask • and hi.n whether he could take them into church again and perform some service that would get them free, as they had been before. The rector meditated for a moment. ‘‘Yes,” he said, “1 think if you come to church I can put you in the way of becoming unmar ried. But it is a curious kind of business, and instead of coming to the Itar, as before, you will have to go into the belfry.” The unfortunate pair readily asseuted, and at an appointed hour went to the church, where the r ctor marched them into the beifry. “You see those two trestles,” he began. “The husband will have to stand on one of them and the wife on the other.” With much won lerment the man and woman followed his instructions “Now each of you take a bellrope in your hand.” This was done. “Now, then, tie the ropes round your necks and jump off the treaties.” “Good lack, sir!“ said one of them, “we should be hanging ourselves!” “Exactly,” said the minister, “that is just what I mean. The only way in which you can unmarry yourselves in church is by hanging yourselves in the belfry.” The young couple dropped the ropes in haste, and the minister proceeded to give them a lec ture upon mutual forbearance and affection, it is to be hoped with good results.

Nothing would be worse for it than to have the idea get abroad that anything like intolerance and self righteousness was its foundation." Speaking of the long distances in this coun try, an Englishman says: ‘‘The longest railroad trip you can make in the United Kingdom is about 000 miles, and they can no: realize that there is a land where one can ride continuously m one direction for a week or more.

The river Lys, on its entrance into Belgium, dashes abruptly over a precipice and is lost to sight for nearly half a mile. The Meuse also lias a subterranean course extending to a distance of six miles, while the river Dromme in Normandy, on nearing the sea, plunges into a hole 39 feet wide, known as the Pit of Soucy from which it never reappears, except in the form of new springs, which are supposed to arise from the lost waters. In Derbyshire England, there are two small streams called the Hamps and the Manifold. Formed by the union of several small springs, they flow in the open air for a short distance and then turn im close together under the face of a hill range Here they have made for themselves a passage through the solid earth, and for mil-a they flow underground, each maintaining its own complete individuality, until at length they re emerge to the light by apertures only 15 yards apart.
