Is it not very apparent now why he did? The Clticago Tribune conveys the intelli gence that there is yet some probability that Secretary Noble will retire from the cabinet. _ _____ _____ Dr. Hueh Hagan, of Atlanta, writes from Vienna to the New York Tribune to say that Minister Fred Grant is friendly with and courteous to all southerners as well as northerners who visit Vienna, Will Dr. Ht'gan tell us why he shouldn’t bef A s Congressman Allen wittily remarked the other day, when a republican member appc aled to the democrats to keep quiet, “Appeals are not heard in the House.” They are heard by the poople, however, and it is to the people that the democrats will eppeal. Mr. Dodd, counsel for the Standard Oil Company, has written a lengthy defense of trusts, which, he says, are both necessary and wholesome. Very appropriately, this remarkable article is published in one of the leading republican newspapers of the ®ountry. Senator Ingalls’ bill to appropriate money for a monument on the Gettysburg battle field to Mr. Lincoln doesn’t meet with the approval of the northern press. The ob jection is not to a monument to Mr. Lin coln, however, but to the erection of oue before the memory of Gen. Meade is hon ored in that way. A detective passed through Pittsburg the Other day on his return to Chicago. He had been following a false Tascott trail. Mrs. Snell’s offered reward of $50,000 for Tascott’s arrest still holds good, but while it brightens the wiis of the detectives, it doesn’t brighten them enough to euablo them to find the murderer. The Cincinnati Times-Star makes the ridiculous assertion that the Republican party is the enemy of trusts. Why, but for the contributions of the trusts to the republican campaign fund, that party would have been badly defeated last No vember. The Republican party and the trusts are on alarmingly friendly terms. Mr. E. W. Carmack, of the Nashville American, who obtained an interview with Mr. Cleveland the other dny, is a young man, his age being scarcely more than years, but he has the reputation of being the best editorial writer in Tennessee,and ns a matter of fact he is ono of the best iu the country. He was a lawyer before he be came an editor. The poet Whittier has just received from Bonner Bros, a check for SI,OOO for his last poem, “The Captain's Well.” The amount of the check is said to have been an agree able surprise to him. lie had announced that the poem in quostion would be the last of his life, but if publishers are determined to pay him SI,OOO for six or eight stanzas, Re will probably take up his peu again. The Massachusetts man who was so con fident that bo would wia the New York World's prize of a ticket to Europe and re turn that he had himself announced iu ad vance as the winner feels somewhat disap pointed now. The real winner was Mr. F. W. rttevens, of Now York, who guessed within less than a second of the time it took Nellie Uly to go around the world. Messrs. Chauncey M. Depew and Ward McAllister have been interviewed on the decollete dress. What they 6ay is about as abreviated as the upper part < f that cos tume, but they manage to let it become known that in their opinion all handsome women should wear the costume. After this insidious remark it will be difficult to find a woman who doesn’t wear the decol lete dress. Reckless Misstatements. The republican newspapers, in discntsing j southern matters, have very little regard i for truth. The New York Tribune, for instance, speaks *if Senator Butler's bill to aid negro emigration as a “fanciful deporta tion bill.” Asa matter of fact, the senator has never proposed that the negroes shall be deported. The purpose of his bill is to aid those <>f the negroes who waut to emi grate. He does not want to force them to leave the south. Ho is not so lacking iu in j teiligence as to suggest anything of that kind. It suits the purpose of the Tribune and other republican liewspstxTS, however, to create the impression that his bill aims to drive the negroes out of the south, w hether they want to go or not. iSeuator Ingalls in his speech said that justice had never been tried in the effort to solve the race problem. He his as little respect for tbo truth as the Tribune. Neither he nor tho republican press is disposed to be frank and just- Before recommending jus tice they ought to be just. Senator Ingalls knows that the negroes are treated with justice. W hat he means by justice is that negro domination ought to prevail where the negroes are iu the majority, but he is not frank enough to say so. The Morning News has already pointed out that there would be no justice to either tue whites or the negroes iu permitting the negroes to have control of affairs anywhere before they are prepared for it. But why should the 'Tribune speak of Senator Butler’s bill as a “deportation bill?” Simply because if it adhered to the truth it would have no basis for views which it expresses. For the same reason Senator lugails makes charges which he cannot sup port by facts. Why did not the senator say squarely that he favored negro rule where the negro is in the majority? Be cause he did not dare to. If he should make a statement of that kind he would lose a very large part of the support ho now has iu the north. For the same reason the Trib une tries to have it understood that Sena tor Butler’s purpose is to force the negroes to leave the south. If it should state what the bill really is there would perhaps be little opposition to it in tho north, unless it was understood that tho negroes would seek homes in the northern states. If that iru pression should got abroad in tho north the bill would have no friends in that section, because the northern people don’t want any more negroes among thorn than thov already have. The Democratic Leaders. Tho men who acted as the democratic leaders in the House during the recent tur bulent scenes iu that body deserve very high praise. They presented clearly to the country the position taken by the demo crats, and they showed that position to be the right one. Notwithstanding the excitement that prevailed they kept cool. They were, of course, highly indignant, and the language thev used was not always mild, but tho occasion called for strong language, and nothing was saiil by Messrs. Carlisle, Crisp, Turner, Holman, or Springer that should have boon omitted. Three of these leaders are from the south, and two of the three are from Georgia. They were about the calmest men ou the floor, and this fact will strike people very forcibly when it is remembered that south erners are held up by the northern republi can newspapers as being highly excitable. According to these papers, they lose their temper upon the slightest provocation, and when they become angry there is no telling what they will do. Messrs. Carlisle, Crisp, and Turner have shown that southerners can control themselves quite as well as northerners. They are natural leaders— brave, brainy, quick, and cool; and there are plenty more like them in the south. A Terrible Bereavement. Mr. Tracy, the Secretary of the Navy, has tho sympathy of tho whole country in the terrible bereavement which he suffered yesterday morning. On Sunday night ha had a happy family and a pleasant home. On Monday morning that home was in ruins, his wife aud ono daughter woro dead, the daughter having been burned to death; another daughter aud a granddaughter were severely injured, and his own life was saved ouly by the most extraordinary exer tions of his physicians. Tho story of the disaster is told graphically in our dispatches this morning. The firemen appear to have made heroic exertions to save the lives of the inmates of the house. The smoke was so dense, how ever, that they wore not able to reach them in time to save the lives of all of them. It is not oftou that tho inmates of a dwelliug house that is ou lira are not ablo to .“scape the flames. Secretary Tracy and his wife ami daughter, however, must have been made insensible by the smoke while asleep, aud hence did not realize their peril. Members of President Harrison’s cabinet have been greatly afflicted. Secretary Blaine has lost two growu children within a month, and now Secretary Tracy has lost his wife aud daughter. State Senator Yarrell, of Virginia, has gone to Greenville county in tliat state to investigate the reports of terrible distrois among the farmers. A few days ago cir culars were sent to the north, urging chari table persons to help these farmers, who. the circulars said, failed to make crops, aud were in actual want. It purported to be signed by the county sheriff and treasurer and a clergyman. A Philadelphia Press special from Jforfolk says that it is only a scheme of sharpors to get money, and that, while many farmers iu Greenville county made short crops, they are not by any means objects of charity. Ou the samo day that Brother Wana makor asked a blessing at a dinner to his political friends and refused to set wine be fore them, ho told Congressman Carlton, as our dispatches stated, that it would boas much as his (Wanainaker’s) life was worth to come south. This good man, it will be seen, asks blessings in one breath and slan ders the south in the next. He could visit every city, town and village in the south with as much safety as he visits Phila delphia, and he knows he can. Dr. McGlynn will hardly appear before a public audience again soon. While in Chicago the other day, to deliver a lecture, he became very ill. He suffered severely from a bronchial affection, and bis phy sician told him that he must go home and take a long rest from public speaking. He went as soon as his condition permitied. and it is supposed that ho will a's t obey the other part of the physician’s order. The pan-American congress has not ad journed, and the chances are that it will be in sossiou several months longer. It hasn’t visitcl the south yet, and the chances are that the foreign delegates will go home without seeing the best and most interesting vart of this country. THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1800. The Statement of Jesup’* Mayor. We publish elsosrhero in this issue a state j merit showing the character of the of fenses for which the two negroes, who were lynched in Jc up on the occasion of tho riot in that town a few weeks ago, were con fined in jail. This statement is made I by the mayor of Jesup, and is intended to correct a statement w hich appeared in the Morning News in connection with some comments on tho fact that the governor had offered a reward for the arrest of thoso who killed the negroes. We have no reason to question the cor rectness of the mayor’s statement. Our reporter, however, who was at Jesup when the lynching tx>k place, did not hear it stated that one of the negroes who was lynched had fired bullets into Assistant Mar shal Barnhill’s dead body, aud he did not state anything of that kind in his report. Admitting that the mayor’s report i; cor rect in every particular, it does not follow that there was any justification for the lynching. Whatever tho crimes may have been which the negroes who were lynched committed, there is no doubt that they would have been fairly tried by the courts and would have boon punished as they de served. The killing of them in their help less condition served no good purpose. The time to have killed tle one who, it is alleged, fired his pistol at the dead body of assistant Marshal Barnhill, if he was to I>e killed at all, was when he committed that act, and not when he was disarmed and in jail. The other negro may or may not have been with the desperado, Brener. Whether ho was or not, there was no excuse for lynching him, particularly when it was certain that he would be dealt with by the law. The lynching, as we have said, served no good purpose, and it had a very bad effect. The tietter class of negroes would not have regretted the killing of Brewer immediately after be had murdered the assistant marshal, but the killing of the negroes in the jail tendo Ito arouse a bitter feeling among them toward the whites. We have never supposed that citizens of Jesup took part in tho lynching, aud wo should be much surprised if it should appear that they did. We have always supposed that those who did that deed lived quite a distance from there. Boodler3 and Wreckers. New York city appears to be aver v safe place for boodlers and wreckers. District Attorney Fellows announced the other day that it was useless to attempt to convict the alleged boodle aldermen will) wore indicted for accepting bribes to give the Broadway Street Railroad Company the right to lay a surface railroad track on that street. There appears to boa disp >si tion in that city to blame the district attorney for failing to convict those alleged bribe takers, and nlso those who wore indicted for bribing them, but is the district attoruery very greatly to blame? If he is satisfied that no jury he could ob tain would convict the boodle receivers and boodle givers is he so much at fault for re fusing to put the tax payers to the expense of lengthy trials? , It may be said that lie does not know whether he could convict them or not. Has he not tried two or three of the cases and failed to secure a verdict of guilty? It would seem us if the people have them selves to blame for tho failure to convict the bribe-givers and the bribe-takers. The standard of morality is not high enough among tho masses to insure the punishment of those guilty of corrupting public offi cials, and also officials who permit them selves to be corrupted. The other day a national bank and two state banks wore wrecked in New York city. Will the wreckers be punished? It is to be hoped that they will, but it is by no means certain that a jury can be found that will conviot them. All of them have money and friends, and it will be rather re markable if they do not succeed in escaping the penitentiary. There is need of a higher moral tone among business men in Now York city. It is too often the ease there that a known rascal is treated as an houest man if ho manages to keep out of jail. Some of tho practices of Wall street are not much above those of burglars. There is much that passes under the head of shrewd aud suc cessful financiering that is robber}’. A Boston dispatch says that a temporary injunetion was granted a few days ago by Jndge Field, restraining Arthur M. Evans, of Worcester, from conveying an interest in certain Florida laud which, it is alleged, was conveyed to him by Dr. Augustine Thompson, of Lowell, sevou mouths prior to the latter's going into insolvency, and which it is asserted he holds in trust for Thomp son. An injunction has also been granted restraining J. E. McCormack, of Lowell, from disposing of a large tract of land in New Mexico, which was conveyed to him by Thomps n about three months before the latter went into insolvency. Thompsou was defonded in a suit brought by Mrs. Beals, charging him with alieuatiug the affections of her husband, aud a judgment of $30,000 was obtained against him. Shortly after the verdict, and before tho supreme court affirmed it, Thompson went into in solvency, although at the time of the trial he was said to have au income of SIOO,OOO a year. He evidently doesn’t want to pay the judgment. It is stated that Senator Voorhees and ex-Gov. Gray have made an agreement by which the senator is to have Gray’s sup port for re-election to the Senate, aud the ex-governor is to have Voorhees’ support for the democratic nomination for Vice President. Gov. Gray may get there next time. “Cleveland and Gray” sounds very well, and such a ticket might make Indiana safely democratic. The Chicago newspapers of all colors nnd politics are engaged in patting Boss Platt on the back and telling him to persevere iu his work of destroying New York’s chances for getting the world’s fair. Chicago, how ever. would hardly gain by New York’s failure. Probably the fair will not be held at all if it is not held in New York, which is the only place in tho country suitable for it. During the recent turbulent scenes in the House the republicans seemed to have a hired band of shouters in the gallery. These were colored people and pension claimants, and they understood their busi ness. They raised a yell every time a republican spoke. The pensiou claimants may be rowarded with pensions, but it is not likely that the colored people will be re munerated. An Oakland, Cai., propnot predicts that Chicago will be destroyed inside of eighty days. Still, Chicagoans are remaining away from church aud talking world's fair same as over. CURRENT COMMENT.

The largest black diamond ever found has recently been brought to this country from the mines of Bahia, Brazil. It is a sort used for such mechanical appliances as tipping drills, glass-cutters, etc., and to an ordinary observer the stone looks more like a lump of anthracite coal or a hit of coke than like a rare jewel. This diamond is about two inches in length, weighs 3G7V6 carats, nni is valued at $5,000. Unlike other diamonds, this one will not polish, and hence no jeweler would care to purchase it save for the purposes indicated. “One of the most intrepid explorers of the day,” says the Paris correspondent of the Lon-* don Daily Telegraph, “is a Parisian lady, Mine. Jf Kay. mother of the Due and Abrautes, who has been for several months engaged in Eastern travel. After having visited Babylon and Nine veh, she traversed the Persian ‘ deserts, amid terrible privations, in order to reach India For five days and five nights her little caravan had to encamp in the wilds without meeting a living soul, or even discovering the slightest trace of a human being. During all this time the cold was so intense that Mme. lo Kay’s fingers were frostbitten, and her guides became seriously ill. She mauaged, at last, to reach the Persian gulf, where she embarked for India.” Tardy Wit. From the Century. A bright little man sat bemoaning the fate Of the wit that is tardy and sparkles too late; Of the keen repartee that is strictly one’s own But comes into view when occasion has flown. Oh! the ideas, apposite, bright and sublime, That travel like stage-coaches never on time, S > sluggish in movement, so slow in the race That anew t opic renders them quite out of [ilace. So the bright little man, with a serious loot, Remarked to himself, as he opened his book, "< if regrets that annay a humorist's iiead. The saddest is this: It might have been said!” Little Siftings. From Texas Siftings. It is easy to hear the aching of another man’s corns. He who wants little generally has it aud little else. It is well to keep the eyes open, but not all night. Don’t upbraid a dunce because he is short of some faults. He probably didn’t know how to acquire them. Awl that glitters is not gold, becauseawls are made of steel. Never teil a man that he is a fool; let him alone and he may find it out himself. if nobody had a passion for acquiring riches how many poor devils would be out of emplov ment. All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women want to ride on top. Many a young man wno sows his wild oats trusts to the grasshopper of forgetfulness to destroy the crop. Appreciative, if Not Complimentary. From the Seattle Fress. A gentleman was standing on a street corner one evening recently, gazing out over the sound. It was a beautiful moouli -ht night, and all nature seemed at peace Suddenly ids reverie was disturbed by the approach of un certain footsteps. They came nearer and nearer, and finally a more uncertain voice broke m upon tne thoughts of the gentleman; •T shay, stranger, would you be so kind (hie) as to assist me to find the B hotel; I’m a (hio sthraneer here, and (hie) ’ve got lost.” "Why, certainly, sir,” returned the kind hearted gentleman, who toon the stranger by tlie arm and led him to within sight of the portals of the structure. ■ Thank you, sir,” remarked the stranger. “Shay, hold on here (hie); shay, stranger, whatsher name. Some time I maybe able to (hie) reciprocate.” The answer of the generous guide is not re corded. An Aesthetic Rumshop. From the Pittsburg Dispatch. Yesterday an esteemed citizen who met me on Fifth avenue sported in the buttonhole of his heavy ulster a red, red rose. The con junc tion of the fiower and the midwinter garo was enough to excite remark, and, moreover, this citizen is not wont to bear bouquets. "Where did you get it?” I aszed. “It was handed me on a china dish just now,” said he. “You see the frigidity of the atmos phere and the weakness of my flesh conspired to lead tne into a gorgeous saloon down town. After I had made away with a small dose of tincture of rye, the bartender handed me a strawberry and a glass of cream, it took mv breath away, but the bartender, who saw my astonishment, said: ‘That's nothing! John!’ he added to a colored man. who immediately r tired, and returned with three ros-buds on a costly china dish, and a silver pincushion. Tlio rosebud you see in my buttonhole was one of those three.” The Court Was With Him. From the New York Herald. A young lawyer was making his maiden effort before a jury in defense of a crim.nai. The evidence was all in. and he arose to utter the brilliant thoughts that had been surging through his brain. He was primed for a fine display of oratorical pyrotechnics, but some how or other he could not get a start. Hj s mind became a blank, and he stood trembling for a moment. Then waving his arms lie begat”: "May it please the court aud gentlemen of the jury—My—ahem! My Officer, kindlv get me a drink of water.” He waited for the attendant to return, and tried to gather his faculties. After taking a sip of water he began again: “May it please tne court and gentlemen of the jury. X ; m happy —no —yes.” After a pause he again extended his arm, and exclaimed: "May it please the court and gen tiemeu of the jury. My unfortunate client— This impressed him as a particularly bad opening, lo he again hesitated; “(hi on. coun sellor,” said the judge, encouragingly, “so far I am with you.” Bass’ Ale and Guinness’ Stout, Dog’s Head Brand, bottled in London by Read Brothers, is conceded to be the perfection of Burton and Dublin Brewings.
