Tbe Returning Board.
If the Republican party should succeed
in carrying iuto effect its scheme of placing
national and congressional elections under
federal control tlu-st elections would be
decided bv returning b iards and not by the
pa-pie. That party alleges that returning
boards would prevent fraud. Asa matter
of fact they would be the instruments by
which fraud would be committed.
The contested election case of the Montana
senators, now [lending in the Senate, shows
how effectually the will of the people cin
be defeated by means of returning boards.
The Senate electi ms committee has decided
to make a report favoring the seating of the
repub icau Claimants from that state,
Messrs. Saunders and Powers, and there is
no reason to doubt that the Senate will sus
tain the report.
Tbe democratic claimants. Messrs. Clark
and Maginnis, have much the better case.
The evidence and dhgument in their behalf
before the elections committee were of the
most convincing character. It was clearly
shown that the state returning board, in
throwing out the vote of precinct Thirty
four in Silver Bow c unty, thus giving that
county to the republicans and making tho
legislature republican, did so without
facts upon which to base its action.
It was also shown that the vote in
precinct Thirty-four was regular in
every particular, and there is no good
ground for doubting that it was thrown out
for no other reason than to permit the re
publicans to get control of the legislature
and elect two United States senators.
When the Montana case was first brought
to the attentiou of tbe Senate it was thought
that if the democratic claimants were not
seated the entire matter would be referred
back to tbe people of Montana with a re
quest that they make their intention rela
tive to the senators nips plainer. It was not
for a moment thought that the republican
claimants had a chance of being seated.
And when the claimants had all been heard
by the elections committee this viow of the
matter was strengthened because tho demo
cratic claimants had made the better case.
It was therefore with great surprise that
the announcement was heard that the ma
jority of the elections committee bad de
cided to report in favor of seating the
republican claimants on the ground that
there was no authority for going behind the
action of the returning board. It appears,
therefore, that this state returning board is
to be permitted to defeat the will of the
people of Montana. It is composod of re
publicans, and it has been stated that it
threw out precinct 34 of Silver Bow county
without a particle of evidence of fraud in
that precinct.
The Senate ought to go behind the return
ing board and find out whether or not there
was any fraud committed in precinct 34.
The democrats say there was not, and one
Montana court has said there was not. The
Senate is a partisan body, and it doesn’t
care whether the returning board acted
honestly or corruptly. It has made up its
mind to, scat the republican claimants
regardless of whether they were olectod Dr
not.
There will be plenty of such outrages as
this if congress places congressional and
presidential elections under federal control
The returning boards that will bi estab
lished will be the instruments by which the
republican party will maintain itself in
power. Majorities will oount for nothing,
because the returning boards will ignore
them on one pretext and another, and will
give certificates of election to republicans
whenever it suits thoir purpose to do so.
A Good Platform.
The resolutions adopted by tbe farmers’
alliance of DeKalb county, and published
in the Morning News some days ago, are
of the right kind. It is probable that the
alliances of all the other counties approve
them. If there are any who do not, it
would be interesting to know their reasons
for refusing to do so. The DeKalb allianoe
says that tho alliance movement is not in
tended to advance the interest of any man
or auy set of men. its purpose is to
do the greatest good to the greatest
number. It is not a political organ
ization, and it would make a very
grave mistake if it were to
undertake to dictate as to who should fill
the different offices. In its resolutions the
DeKalb alliance sayh: “We unhesitatingly
condemn tho idea that any officer of the
alliance can use that office to the advancing
of his private political ends aud his candi
dacy for any office from bailiff to governor;
that we draw the line between a man bear
ing aloft the Alliance banner as its chosen
champion for the advancement of its prin
ciples, and one simply usi.g the alliance as
a stepping stone to place and power.”
Of course this declaration is not pleasing
to those who have been counting on the
alliance to boost them into office, and yet
they have no reason to complain. If they
are deserving and worthy they stand a good
chance of getting a helping hand from
members of the alliance, who, in whatever
way they render help, wiil act as citizens
and not as members of the alliance. Tho
first duty of the alliance is to look out for
its own interest. It would not be doing
that duty if it were to attempt to manage
political affairs, because its members would
soon quarrel with each other, and tho
downfall of the alliance would speedily
follow.
If the alliance is wise, it will let the peo
ple manage political matters. It will do no
more than urge its members to exert them
selves to support good meu for office. If it
goes beyond that iu the political field it
wiil soon doubtless come to grief.
It is noticeable that Hon, Thomas C. Platt
has not asserted that he was anxious that
tbe fair should be held in Now York since
the reading of a letter at a public meeting
in New York a few nights ago which he
wrote to Charles A. Anderson, a colored
school teacher. A portion of the latter was
as follow*! “That contest [at Albany], in
my judgment, was the preliminary skir
mish to the great, campaign of 1592. * * *
Greater interests were involved. * * *
We cau bear the loss of the world’s fair
better than we can the restoration to power
of that [the democratic] party.” Perhaps
Mr. Piatt would deny having written the
letter if ho dared t > do so.
A special London cablegram says that
nihilists are reported to have agreed upon
March 13, tho anniversary of tbe murder of
Alexander 11., as the day for an attempt to
murder Alexander 111. To be Czar of
Russia is much more dangerous than to be
czar of the Ainerbau House of Representa
tives.

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, MARCH 11, 1890.
Blount Not a Candidate.
Representative Blount says ho is not a
candidate for governor, and it is quite cer
! tain that he means what he says. He has
i never sought the office as far as the public
! knows, and bis name has been mentioned in
! connection with it only because of his enii-
I nent fitness for it and his honorable record
ias a public servant. He is satisfied to re
main in congress, and there is no doubt that
he can be re-elected to his present position
as often as he wants to be.
While the nomination for governor will
not go a-begging, it is quite safe to say tiat
| no one can predict with any degree of cer
| tainty who the nominee will bo. The
nomination will not be made for several
months, and within that time puolic senti
ment is likely to uudergo considerable
change with respect to gubernatorial candi
dates. There are some indications, not very
marked as yet, that a candidate who has
not figured conspicuously in the guber
natorial race will be pushed toward the
front with considerable vigor later on.
Those, therefore, who think it is their par
ticular duty to fix up the democratic slate
should keep their eyes wide opon for new
developments.
Mr. Blount says that the people ought
not to permit themselves to be influenced
into supporting any man for governor or
the legislature unless they are absolutely
certain that he has their interests at heart
and has the ability to serve them credita
bly. In other words, don’t nominate men
simply because they want to be nominated.
The thing to do is, to go about the work of
making nominations j ust as if it were a busi
ness matter of a private nature. Nomiuate
the best and ablest men, whether they seek
nominations or not, and hold them to a
strict accountability for the performance
of their duty. If the people heed what Mr.
flliiunt says thoir next governor and legis
lature will reflect credit upon the state.
One of Chandler’a Friends.
Ex-Gov. Harrison Reed of Florida is one
of Senator Chandler’s friends, and he has
felt called upon to back up some of the as
sertions that Chandler has recently made in
the United States Senate. In a letter which
was recently published in the Milwaukee
Sentinel, and iu which he calls Chandler
“the champion of southern freedom,” he
pours out tho vials of his wrath upon the
people of Florida. Among other things he
says that four of the most promiuent
counties of the state, including that
in which the state capital is located, are
under tho complete control of a revolution
ary organization. He makes a general
charge that the democrats are guilty of
bulldozing, intimidation and fraud in elec
tions, and intimates that the social relations
but ween the whites aud blacks are by no
means the cleanest.
The ex-governor does not, of course, at
tempt to establish any of these charges. He
probably knows that aDy such attempt
would be a ridiculous failure. It is a very
easy matter to make charges against a
whole people, and it can be done with a
reasonable amount of certainty that no one
will go to the trouble to demand proof of
them, but, as a rule, charges of that kind
are the result of a feeling of bitterness, aud
have no foundation.
Why is the ox-governor so bitter against
Florida? Is there anything in bis political
career in that state which he dees not recall
with pleasure? Was he a model governor,
and did the people admire and respect him
while he was their chief executive? Perhaps
the people are not proud of the fact that
he was ever governor of their state—that
they regard the period when he and his
party were in power as the darkest in their
history. If that is so, the reason he is so
ready to attack Florida and her people is
apparent. His charges under the circum
stances are not worth noticing.
Mrs. Margaret Lane, of Gainesville, Tex.,
would probably give John L. Sullivan a
black eve if she were a man. She is 60 years
old, but the other day, when the mayor im
posed a fine upon her husband, she went to
the city court room and gave that official
“a piece of her mind." He ordered a police
man to arrest her, and she knocked him
down. Tho city attorney camo to the relief
of the policeman, and she also knocked
him down. The mayor saw that he must
arrest the woman hims.df, but when he at
tempted to do so he shared tho fate of the
policeman and the city attornoy, and then
the woman drove all three of them out of
the room, and held the fort until she be
came tired of holding it Mr. Lane has a
powerful dofendar, and one would imagine
that he is very careful not to offend her.
Sumter is one of the best counties in
Georgia, and it contains many men who
would represent her creditably in the legis
lature. Since it became known that Hon.
E. G. Simmons would not be a candidate
for re election to the House, the political
field has become pretty well dotted with
aspirants, among whom are Davis Holt, a
son of Pulaski Holt, and David H. Jenkins,
a brother of Judge W. F. Jenkins, of the
Ocmulgee circuit. These gentlemen are
farmers, and either one of them would do
credit to Sumter county. By the way, why
doesn’t Maj. W. A. Wilson, another farmer,
and one of the best informed men in Geor
gia, enter the contest?
In south Minneapolis, Minn., the people
are terribly excited over a religious fanatic
named Whitney, who claims to be a disciple
of Christ—Christ being in this instance the
Kev. George A. Schweinfurth. He is said
to have gained a considerable number of
followers. There are ignorant people
everywhere to adopt fanatical ideas in
religious matters, but it is really astonish
ing that there should be people in this
country so ignorant as to be led by the
nose by such arrant humbugs as Whitnev
and Schweinfurth.
The Washington Post charges that Will
iam Dudley Foulko’s recent attack upon
President Harrison for trying to break
down civil service reform was inspired by
two mom I ers of the civil service commis
sion, and that Mr. Foulke and the two com
missioners met in an out-of-the-way room
on a certain afternoon and talked over the
matter, and pe: haps prepared the letter.
This is a very interesting charge. Is there
going to bo an open fight between tho Presi
dent and the commissioners?
The brother of Private Secretary Hal
ford, in his recent sketch of Mrs. Harrison's
life, says that she does not go to market, or
wield the feather duster. The public will
probably be told next that she does not run
for a doctor in nn emergency. When it
was rejKTted that sb did these things the
press agreed that it was very sensible in
her. _
The Xew York legislature has before it a

was in 1888.

Doctrinal Intsruction. —The son of a well
known Cambridge family was being given some
doctrinal instruction with somewhat unsatisfac
tory results one evening when his Irish nurse
appeared to put him to bod. Here was an
opening:
“Tom,” said his grandfather, “who takes care
of you at night? 1 ’
Tom looked amazed at the stupidity of the
question.
“Why, Bridget McCarthy, of course,
grandpa!”
.still undismayed the old gentleman per
sisted:
“Who takes care of Bridget McCarthy,
Thomas?”
This was too much for the young man, who
looked first at Its Instructor and then at the
stalwart proportions of the Irish woman.
“I should think,” said he. “that. Bridget
McCarthy was big enough to take care of her
self, if she’s ever going to be!” There was no
more doctrinal instruction that, evening.
Wide Awake.
Some Funny Telegraphic Blunders.
It isn’t meant to be charged that the majority
of telegrams or specials have mistakes in them.
The percentage of error is infinitesimally small,
says the San Francisco Examiner, but the er
rors that are made are funny and soon get
talked around among the boys.
“Cog at once. Big Bill to-night,’’ was a mes
sage delivered to a lady visiting in Kansas from
her husband in a neighboring city of the same
state. The awful suspicion flashed upon her
mind that the liquor law was being flagrantly
violated in the immediate vicinity of her hus
band. But who was “Big Bill?” War, he some
border outlaw ? What was the significance of
“cog,” anyway? As the last question occurred
toln-r she sought and comulted the pocket
edition of a dictionary. The definition of “cog”
was a terrible revelation. It read:
“Cog. The tooth of a wheel; a trick; to
wheedle; to cheat.”
She nearly faiuted with fright. Her husband
was undoubtedly in the toils—in the very teeth
of this villain. “Big Bill.” Her nervous prostra
tion was so complete that she could barely com
municate the particulars to male relatives, w ho
were started on the first train to the rescue of
her husband.
“Remember the clew',” she said, when they
departed, “if there lias been foul play remem
ber Big Bill.”
The relatives returned next day with the hus
band, and the lucid explanation that the ori
ginal message written by him read: “Come at
once; big ball to-night.”
A gentleman who was not long since stopping
at one of the principal hotels in this city, di
viding his time between attending to the busi
ness which necesitated his presence in St. Louis
and bewailing the cruel fate which had tempo
rarily separated him from his young wife of
two months’ standing, recalls the uour of an
guish and uncertainty which ensued upon the
receipt of a message from hi; wife leading:
“I have twins. Written you, but received no
reply. What is the matt r? ’
Since he has ascertained that she has “twice
written,” etc., he will regard every yellow en
velope with suspicion.
Just imagine, if you can, the feelings of a
rather high-flown newspaper correspondent
who, after telegraphing to his newspaper a de
scription of a condemned wife-murderer’s last
night on earth, read in the paper when he re
ceived it that—
“He tossed restlessly about, and from his mut
terings it was apparent to all that the shirt of
his wife hung over him.”
This came from the telegraph office, and
passed in some incomprehensible manner—per
haps "spirits” were at fault with the telegraph
editor, compositor, and proof-reader succes
sively. But it is not likely any one has been
more disgusted with the uncertainties of dots
and dashes thau a young St. Louis telegrapher
who had never visited Chicago, who, after
rendering the name of the famous hostelry of
that city conducted by Potter Palmer as the
"Pat Moore House,” has since been known by
his telegraphic acquaintances as “Pat,” to the
utter exclusion of his more euphonious
patronymic, Eugene.
At a small office in the interior of this state
the whole available force of messengers hunted
half a day for a man named E. C. Lipse before
it dawned upon the brilliant mind of tne opera
tor that it was intended for “The Eclipse”
newspaper office. In a like manner Sale Mills
was omitted from the postal guide, but Salem,
111., was there, and at that place was also an
infuriated man waiting for a long-delayed
answer to his telegram.
Same Old Game.
From the Washington Post.
Do you call to mind the meeting in the village
years ago
"Where the ladies used to gather just to chat
awhile and sew;
How they gave the news in toto and discussed
the latest theme.
And told each other divers things of which
“you’d never dream!”
The doors were always tightly closed ’gainst
any would-be guests
And solemn secrecy was sought through most
impressive tests.
But without fail the news got out—none knew
how it befell,
Though each secret was preceded by
"Don’t
You
Tell!”
In the Senate they are seated, portly, dignified
and gray.
The patriarchs conversing in an animated way,
With closely shut, well guarded doors and voices
half suppressed.
The characters of men ’gainst whom their foes
some doubts suggest.
And ever and anon they turn with careful eyes
to scan
The place, lest In concealment there should be
a horrid man.
Yet daily are their secrets told; the public
knows them well.
But they stick to their old customs and their
"Don't
V ou
Tell!”

nnd other mineral poisons, in liie delusive
hope of obtaining relief, whereas these pow

has had the courage to ignore this killing
practice of the old school, ills remedies,
drawn from the vegetable kingdom, are al
