The different parties in Rhode Island
have nominated their state tickets, but it is
not certain that the votes of the people will
decide who .shall be governor. At the last
election the democratic candidate bad
nearly 5,000 more votes than the republican,
but the republican candidate was elected by
the republican legislature. The democratic
candidate had not received at the polls a
majority of all the votes cast. This is an
instance of republican dishonesty north.
Two of New York’s ex-mayors, Messrs.
Hewitt and Cooper, are enthusiastic over
the possibilities of the iron iudustrv of the
south, and their enthusiasm h s found ex
pression in large investments of capital.
Ex-Mayor Hewitt, it will be rememborei,
visited the south las; year for the first timo
in many years, aid his subsequent invest
ments in s ur.heru property are the result
of that visit. A visitor to the south cau
hardiy fail to be impressed with her great
capacity for development.
At a real estate sale in New York a few
days ago the Stewart property bounded by
Broadway, Fourth avenue,Ninth and Tenth
streets, and known as Stewart’s retail store,
was sold to Albert B. Hilton, son of Judge
Hilton, for $700,0110. Ihe sale inciu led
only the buildings and the lease of the
ground. The ground is owned by the Sailors’
Snug Harbor. A young man who repre
sented John Wa amaker was present, and
his last bid was f6J5,000. He couldn’t see
his way to offering any more than that.
After the “Afro-American” convention in
Chicago and the other recent political talk
ing ma ches in which colored people
participat and, it is not creditable to the sense
of the colored people of the south that they
are going to meet in Atla ita and do some
talking themselves, pretty much on the
same line as that done in Chicago and else
where. Tnev have probably had their or
ders from i epublican headquarters, how
ever, and they not only know when to go to
Atlanta, but also what they must say when
they get there.
Ihe Philadelphia /Yeas is apparently
greatly shocked over the way the democrats
have red stricted the Ohio crnigrtusio ai
districts. The Timet say*, ho wever, that if
the I res would print a diagram of the con
gressi mal districts of l'en.isylvanii, it
would i res nt more curious fig area than the
Oil * redi .inciting affords. “The outlines
of the existing gorryma ider in this a: ate,’’
say* the Timet, “are more pi 'turesquo ~j

The Insatiable North-
The north is not satisfied with the f 100,-
000,000 which she gets out of the treasury
lev ry > ear for j ei*sions. hhe insi tc that
the direct tax, amounting to about $17,000,-
1 OCXJ, which she paid to assist in carrying on
I the war of s-cession, shall be return *1 tj
her. The bill p-oviding for the return of
I this failed to get through the last congress,
j but the friends of it hope that it will be
j more successful in this congress. They
i ki.ow that republicans, esp dally when
i their par y friendsare concerned, are better
| friends of bills of this ki id than democrats,
j- and they will therefore press it with vigor.
The south has very little interest ia it.
She would get about $2,003,003 if it were to j
become a law. The north paid nearly the
whole of the direct tax and would there- ;
fore get about all that would be returned. j
This is no good reason, however, for the i
passage of the bill. The northern states
do not need the money, and the j
object for which the people paid it was ,
accomplished. It is not clear, therefore,
why it should be returned. Nobody ever
thought of asking for it until some lobby
ists suggested that it ought to be returned,
because the taxes were not paid in all parts
of the country. Asa general thing, they
were not paid in the southern states, which
at l hat time were not helping to support
the federal army.
The southern congressmen have made the
point every time that this direct tax bill
has teen considered that if the direct tax
was refunded the cotton tax should also be
refunded. The amount of this latter tax is
about $63,000,000, nearly all of which would
be distributed in the south.
It is claimed that those entitled to the
cotton tax cannot now bo found. They
can be as easily found as those who paid
the direct tax. But, it is said, there is no
intention to distribute the amount of the
direct tax among tlyise who paid that tax.
The money ia to be given to the states
whose citizens paid it. Why not, then, give
the cotton tax to the states whose citizens
paid that tax.
Of course the north will never consent to
refund the cotton tax, but she will greedily
grab the direct tax. If she was disposed to
do what is fair, however, she would favor
giving the cotton tax back to the south
when she pockets the direct tax.
Alleged Charlie Rosses.
For a number of years after Charlie Ross
was kidnaped in Philadelphia his father
visited place place to see boys who, it
was represented; might be his lost son. In
every instance he met with disappointment,
until at length Ids heart grew sick with
hope deferred, and he apparently despaired
of recovering his child. It has been nearly
sixteen years since the kidnaping, but
even yet someone turns up now and then
whose life history suggests that he may be
the boy who was stolen in 1874. A few
months ago tho Morning News received a
letter from a young man in a Georgia town,
who said that sarnie of his friends thought
he was probably Charlie Ross, and he
seemed inclined to think that they might be
right. As nothing else has been heard from
him it is supposed that Mr. Christian Ross
did not take the same view.
A few days ago a young man living in
Port Allegheny, Pa., was added to the list
of alleged Charlie Rosses, and the citizens of
that town are said to believe firmly that
the mystery which has remained unsolved
for nearly sixteen years is about to be ex
plained. The story which the young man
tells is interesting. His first recollection of
his eventful carries him back to the
timo w hen he was 4 years old, and when he
was under the care of a man known as
“Doc.” He was taken to Masonville,
N. J., aud placed in charge of a
grocer named Teed, to whom it was
represented that he had been an in
mate of an orphans’ home. Mr. Teed sub
sequently discovered that this wa9 not true,
but he kept the boy until he was nearly
seventeen years old, and then allowed him
to go to Port Allegheny. The young man
is about twenty years old, and he says that
he has long believed he was Charley Ross,
but that he did not wish to appear be
fore Mr. Christian Ross without more sub
stantial evidence than he possessed. A
meeting with Mr. Ross has been arrange 1.
Of course it is possible that Charlie R iss
is still alive, but even if he is he has proba
bly lost his identity and will never be re
stored to his parents. At any rate, they
have abandoned the search for him, aid
they would never have done so if they had
thought there was still a chance to fiud
him.
John Bloylock, of New York, is a cool
one. Tho other day ho went to John Alex
ander’s jewelry store and in the rich, broal
brogue peculiar to his race, asked to he
shown a fine watch, a fine chain, and a
charm. The goods were produced and they
suited the btmnv Highlander so well that
with a delightful nouehala ce he asked to
be presented with a receipted bill for their
value, $l7B. Bloylock is in the To nbs now.
Wheu the receipted bill was brought to him
he quietly it and the watch charm
and chain, and Said: “Mr. Alexander, you
may not know me, but I’m all right, i’ll
pay you next weak.” Then he skipped out.
The jeweler skipped after him. Detectives

Senator Vest of Missiuri hasn’t a high

and the followi g is au extract from it:
“It only remains for us to have two con
testants here on time, and if we do nothing
else we can show up the scoundrelism of
Harrison’s conduct in the matter. You
know what I always thought of him, and
everybody here now knows, thank
God, that he is so mean constitutionally
that he will continus to drive away from
him every man of honor, and liberality,
and good f eling until the people will come
to the rescue of the government from this
congealed mass of meanness.”

THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, MARCH 17, 1890.
[ The Nicaragua and Panama Canals.
Is anv work being done on the Nicaragua
canal? If there is, nothing is bing said
abou' it in tho public prints. Afew months
ago the ncwspa;iers contained a great deal
about the Niciragua cnal, and it sas un
derstood that the work of constructing it
was being pushed forward vigorously.
Perhaps everything is being done that was
promise 1, but if so it is somewhat rem irk
abie that so little is being said about the
matter.
It seems to be quite certain that the
Panama canal has been finally abandoned.
Tue commissioners who were seat by the
French stockholders to investigate its c ra
dition have returned to Paris aud made
their report. They say, in effoct, th at not
one-fourth of the excavating necessary to
make a canal has been and o le. Tqis fact, to
gether with theenor nous outlavthit would
be required to change the cou sa of the
Chagres river, nhakes its certain that the
money to construct a canal with locks,
whicu is Da Losssps’ second plan, could not
be obtained in France or any other coun
try.
The majority of the stockholders have
mad? up their minds that they will never
again see a cent of the money they have
put i .to the canal. A great deal of the
machinery that was sent to the isthmus is
still in good condition, and can be sold
doubtless for a very large sum, but the
probabilities are that all that is realized
from that source will be needed to pay
pressing obligations.
It is said that Da Lesseps is much broken
in health. The failure of his great work
has bad a very depressing effect upon him,
and it is probable that his life work is dene.
He feels that he is held responsible by the
thousands of people whose money has bean
sunk in the canal for the losses they have
s ustalned.
The Panama canal scheme may be revived
agaia, but, if it ever is, it will not be for
many years. It is quite clear now that Da
Lesseps did not fully undTstand the mag
nitude of the work which he undertook
with such a display of confidence to accom
plish.
No Republican Capital in This.
It has been more than a month since a
colored boy named Ladd was killed by a
party of white men in Henry county, In
diana, and yet no republican newspaper or
politician has denounced the crime. This
cannot be because they knew nothing of it.
The particulars were se it out by the Asso
ciated Press, and, although they were
promptly suppressed by most of the repub
lican organs, they mu3t have been given
sufficient publicity in other newspapers to
attract the attention of the republican poli
ticians. Why are they allowed to pas i unno
ticed by those who usually give all of the
prominence possible to the killing
in the south of a colored man I y
a white man ? The answer is easy.
Ladd was not killed in the south—he
was killed in the banner Republican county
of President Harrison’s state, and there was
something particularly brutal about the
killing. Our readers probably rematnbur
the circumstances. The boy had a dispute
with a druggist, against whom he made
threats. A party of men, friends of the
druggist, armed themselves, and laid in
wait for him. When he got in
shooting distance they cims out
from their places of concealment and
chased him a mile, firing at him ns he ran,
until he fell riddled with bullets. If this
had occurred in the south, the republican
organs would have given perhaps several
columns to it, editorially and otherwise,
from time to time, and Senator Chandler
would probably have twisted it into a polit
ical murder aud demanded a senatorial in
vestigation of it, for the sake of political
capital.
It is not surprising that a strong repub
lican county should be the scene of such au
occurrence. Many of the most notorious
ac s of lawlessness that have been com
mitted in the l ist tan years have been ia
republican strongholds. Taney county,
Missouri, the home of the Bald Knobbers,
is a republican county; the most relentless
feuds of Kentucky an.l West V irginia are
in republican counties; the Kansas towns
which occasionally declare war against each
other are in republican counties. The lie
publican party is far from being the party
of law and order.
A Frenchman named Martin is a member
of the Manitoba legislature, and an educa
tional bill is before the legislature. Martin
seems to be the Granny Blair of Manitoba.
It Is a pretty hard thing to say about him,
but still the c nclusion is irresistible. He
arose a few days ago to speak on the educa
tional bill, and he intended to make a sort
of serial out of his speech, ju3t as Senator
Blair did.and he didn't expeot to get through
in less than three days. He bobbed up wed
1 aded, but the House decide ! that he must
say everything he had to say before he
stopped, and tlie consequence was that after
he had spoken nine cours he yielded tho
floor, being completely exhausted. He had
taken his lunch while speaking, as he was
not allowed to stop longer than three min
utes at a time. This was a great scheme on
the part of the House, and it is to be
regretted that our own sedate Senate did
not think of something of the kind when
Senator Blair arose t> claim its attention.
New York is demanding that if the
world’s fair is held ia 1893 there shall be a
new vote in the House as to the location;
and if another vote ii taken, with the un
derstanding that no fair shall be held in
the year 1892, it is highly probable that
New York will be victori mi. A good many
republicans voted against Ne w York be
cause they had been told by Boss Platt aud
others that to hold the fair in New York in
1892 would be to make New York state
strongly democratic that year. They had
no other reason. They would not vote the
same way if the date were fixed for 1893.
But how in the world can we celebrate the
400th anniversary of the discovery of
America by a fair in 1893? \Ye might as
well have Fourth of July fireworks and
oratory on the sth of Juno. Congress should
make up its mind that if we are going to
to celebrate the event referred to, we must
celebrate it in 1892.
The Massachusetts legislature has before

by one of the police rales of L>u i m, for
bidding au officer to arrest a drunken per
son unless the latter is trying to de some
one an injury; aud it ii not an uncotmn >n
thing for p ilicemati in Loudon to have
six or eight drunken men asleep at oue time

CURRENT COMMENT.
Tho People Won’t Stand it.
From the St. Louis Republic (Deni).
Mr. Henry- Cabot Lodge, chairman of the
House committee on eleciions.is trying his hand
at a bill to give the President and blsappointees
control of the federal elections. Any law which
vests such power in the President makes him
greater thau all the people. The people are not
ready for such a system, and they will demon
strate that they are not, lm tue cost of the Re
publican party.
A Dangerous Thinu To Do.
From the New York Star (Dem.).
Remarkable party, that Republican party,
which has contrived to convert an onerous
surplus into a rapidly approaching deficit in a
single year of power! extraordinary is the
political organization that is accomplishing
this feat without reducing government taxa
tion or income. That such a party can thrive
even for a time ii indeed a wonderful demon
stration of “the cohesive power of public
plunder."
Will New Orleans Get the Navy Yard?
From the New Orleans States (Dem.),
The news from Washington indicates that
there is a class of republicans in congress who

apjiears, than to gratify their hatred for the

Old Wolf's Penciled Speech.
The Seattle Press says that in talking about
Indians and thair native eloquence, John Fair
field. the lawyer, said he saw Old Wolf, the
Cheyenne chief, make an effective speech with
a lead pencil during a visit by Bishop Brundel
at Ashland, Mon., about a year ago. Oid Wolf
took the pencil and drew- a straight line, and
said: “Cheyennes straight."
Then he drew another straight line, and said:
“Black robe straight,” meaning t ie Indian had
nothing to say against the Catholic mission
aides.
Then a third straight line was drawn, and OH
Wolf said: “White house straight." By this he
did not mean the executive mansion, but the
little white school conducted by the sisters of
charity, which was known fir and near among
the Indians as the “white house."
Nest a straight line was drawn part way
across the page, and from one end he made a
number of very crooked lines, so that the dia
gram looked like a cat-o’-nine fails. This was
explain and by the chief as “Washington straight,
but ad things coming from Washington very
crooked.”
Then a line was drawn straight, pari of the
way, then crooked, then straight, and so on
across the page. “Indian agent straight,
crooked, straigot, crooked, straight, crooked."
was the laconic explanation.
"Cr ,w fly round, round, round," was the sar
castic way he illustrated the characteri tics of
the Crow Indians b. a series of loops across the
page. But the climax of this speech was
reached wuen Old Wolf drew across the paper
a very crooked line and remarked with mafii
fest contempt:
"Sioux crooked, always crooked."
A Victim of Defective Information.
“Whoopee! whoopee! whoop! Tally one for
us!”
These Bhonts of wild exultation were heard at
a late hour last night in city hall park, says the
New Yord World.
They were immediately followed by others
like them, and the disturber was quickly in the
hands of a po.iceman.
“Can’t a man h Her when his town’s goin’ to
git tue world's fair?” said the ruau. as he expos
tulated against arrest. “My town’s little, but
she knocked out New York, Chicago and the
other big ones just as slick us grease."
“What’s the matter with you?” demanded
the officer. "Chicago got the world’s fair.”
"Not the big Round World's Quadri-Christo
pher Columbus Exposish?”
"That’s what she has," reiterated the officer.
“What's that you say,” demanded the man.
“Didn't Cumberland Gap get it?"
“Rat.l " ejaculated the officer. “Cumberland
Gap got one vole only. Chicago got the fair on
the eighth ballot with 157 votes. Cumberland
Gap wasn’t in it. You don’t seem to ne in it
yourself, as the whole business was fixed up a
week ago.”
"You're sure the Gap didn’t get it?"
. “The Gap was left.”
“Then you can let me go," said the man,
sadly, "and bet your bottom dollar that ihe
mau from Cumberland Gap disturbs the peace
no more with shouts of inad revelry. 1 don’t
read the papers much rnyseif, but a reporter
over here on Park Row told me that the Gap
had it, and I thought I would just let ’er go
once for luck."
“I’ll let you go once for luck," said the officer
as he released his man, “but don’t be buncoed
that way again.”
The Best We Can.
From the New York Herald.
When things don't go to suit us,
Why sh uld we fold our hands.
And say, "No use in try ing,
Fate baffles all our plans.”
Let not your courage fait -r,
Keep faith in God and man,
And to this thought be steadfast—
“l'll do the best I can.”
If clouds blot out the sunshine
Along the way yon tread.
Don’t grieve in hop*4ess fashion
And sigh for brightness fled.
Beyond the clouds ttiesuulight
Shines in the eternal plan;
Trust that the way will brighten.
And do the best you can.
Away with vain repinings;
Sing songs of hot e and cheer,
Till many a weary comrade
Grows srrou* of heart to hear.
He who sings over trouble
Is aye the wisest mao.
He can’t help what has happened,
But—does the best he can.
So if things won't go to suit us,
Lot’s never fume aud fret.
For finding fault with fortune
Ne’er tneuded matters yet.
Make the best of whate’er happen*,
Bear failure like a man;
And in good or evil fortune
Do just tue b.st you can.
Still at Large.
There is a man at large who ought to he taken
charge of. The Washington Post thinks that he
will be readily recognized by the following dia
logue, which conveys an accurate description of
him:
“Ah, good morning. I just came across some
thing very funny. As I was walking along the
street 1 saw a man slip on a banana peel."
"Yes."
“And all the bystanders set up a peal of
laughter.”
“Did they?”
“Of course. Don’t you see? Stepped on a
peel, you know, and a peal of laughter—proba
bly because it ap-pealed to their risibilities, so
ti.ey ’riz’ right up and laughed, by means, of
course, of their rizabilities.”
“Ob, yes; ha, ha I see."
“Now, can you tell me what is the difference
between a couple of bound boys ,an-d a needy
man who made an artesian well?"
“Idon't know."
“Wny, the first work for board, and the sec
ond bored for work.”
“Uh-huh.”
“Do you know why men who swear never say
anything of real depth?"
“No."
“Because their remarks are cursory. H
“Now, why Is "
“I don't know, and what's more Idon't care;
if you want this room you can nave it. I've got
to go away, and when yo i leave please tack a
card on t >e outside of the door saying that
you’ve gone.”
Good Excuse.
Judge William Louis Kelly of the district
court, says the St. Paul Pi meer Press, is ac
quiring a reputation for wit on the bench. A
young lawer in the German-American Bank
buildingjtells the following:
Various jurors were waiting before the judge,
as Is the custom at every term of court, to be
excu ed from service. A meek looki ig man
came up in bis turn and asked that he might he
let off.
“You can't get off without a good excuse,”
said the judge.
“1 have a good reason."
“You must tell it or serve," said the judge.
“But, your honor. 1 don't believe the other
jurors would care to have me serve."
“Why not? \\ tlet's your excuse?”
“Well—l—" i herniating).
"What is it?"
"I've got the tteb."
"Mr, Clerk," said Judge Kelly, quickly,
"scratch that mau out.”

Prof. Stuast has given some very interesting
specimens of British crabs to the museum of
the Royal College of Surgeons. These crabs,
being desirous of prolonging their existence,
and anxious to avoid being gobbled up or other
wise ill-treated by their numerous predatory
enemies, detach bits of seaweed and z-ophites
with the r nippers and cover the exposed parts
of their bodies up in them. As this habit is
continued when tne crabs are blind, it is not
due. as some unkind people might suppose, to
vanity, but instinct teaches them to copy their
surroundings, aud thus avoid detection.
Says the London World: “The future of Lord
Wolseley must come under consideration within
a few months. His extended tenure of office
will expire this summer, and It is not probable
that be will remain 1 nger at the Horse Guards.
That he will go out into the cold is, of course,
impossible. But what will he be given? Not
India, surely. It is too late for him to take up
Indian service again even in the highest post.
There is nothing good enough for him nearer
home except Ireland. And by this, a natural
process of exhaustion, it may be safely as
sumed that Lord Wolseley, on vacation of the
adjutant generalship, will succeed Prince Ed
ward in Dublin as commauder-in-chief.”
M. de Munkacsy, the famous Hungarian

Veronese appear in the foreground, while seated

Few people are aware of the vastness of the
sum sunk in what may be termed the tempo
rary plant used in the Forth bridge. The engi
neers estimate that £300,000 was spent in this
direction alone. Two small steamers were con
structed to carry men and materials I rom one
part of the br dge to another. In scaffolding,
flooring, shedding, ere., 1,000,000 cubic feet of
timber were used. From tue first to last 1,200
tons of mere eerv.ee boits were needed to hold
this mass of material together. Scores of hy
draulic jacks, sixty miles of wire rope, aud
rams innumerable were also among the tempo
porary appliances employed in constructing
this stupendous viaduct. Fifty-six men were
killed outright during the operations, and many
more r ceived injuries of a more or less serious
character.
“A local doctor had an experience col
lecting a bill which he will not soon forget,”
says the St. Paul Pioneer Press. “The account
amounted to $lB, and, after sending monthly
statements for three years, the debtor, a mer
chant, by the way, sent a check which, upon
presmtation at the bank, was found to be
worthless. It happened about this ti ne that
the physician's wife wished some articles for
the house, and visited the merchant’s store.
Shewasunkn wn to the proprietor, who was
all suavity and politeness, and, although prlc-s
were a little high, she purchased a bill of goods
amounting to s2l. When she gave her name
and address and ordered the goods sent to the
house t ie courteous proprietor nearly fainted
He had gone so far, however, that he was
ashamed not to send the goods, which were de
livered in good time. Promptly he received his
worthless check by mail. Then he began send
ing bills for the balance of $3. When did he get
the balance? The calendar and the books will
show that the $ 1 were remitted just three years
after the a count was contracted and the doc
t. >r laughs in his sleeves whonerver he thinks
about it.”
Comparatively few silk cocoons are raised in
this country—not more than 10,000 pounds
probably—of which amount the United States
government purchases about one-half for ex
perimental purposes. In France every farmer’s
wife raises a few pounds of c icoona every
spring and makes money by selling them and
in this way mainly is the silk crop iu t at coun
try g, own. There are few occupations more
easy or agreeable for a woman than the raising
of co toons, aud it offers anew source of in
com- to wives and daughters in ail sections of
the c u itry. The way to get started in it seems
to be easy enough. Any woman in the United
States who will take the trouble to
write to t a silk bureau of the department
of agricultulture this month, with a re
quest for silk worm eggs, wi 1 receive, during
ttie mouth following, a quarter of an ounce of
them, whl h will coutain about 9 050, in a little
box. The department will also furnish infor
mation os to the best aud most approved
method for preparing and raising the cocoons.
With two ounces of eggs a woman ought to be
able to raise U. ty or uixt.v pounds per annum
between the middle of M irch and the first of
June. Cocoons are worm . ver $1 a pound now.
When the great demand for cocoons arrives, as
it surely will before long, some of those inter
ested la the ins ter at the department of agrl
cultur seem to think that mo e than 10-1,60)
women will find very profitable emp oym -tit
iu supplying these cocoons to the silk factories
iu this country.

is to keep the lung, working, and thus throw off
this terrible mucous. There is only o,e way i n
which this can be done, and that is by stimulat
