Harrison Piirvrtng on 1882.
United Slates Treasurer Huston’s an
j Douncemeut, when he returned from In
! diana a few davs ago. that President Harri
■ son intended to seek a renomination, is the
j excuse for a great deil of political gossip.
It is probable that Mr. Huston knows very
little about the President’s intentions, be*
cause tbeir relations have not been as con
fidential lately as thev were daring the last
presidential campaign. Hr. Huston at that
time was chairman of the republican state
committee of Indiana, and tbe President
placed a great doal of dependence in him.
He was removed from that position, how
ever, and he no longer has access to the
inner circles of the President’s councillors.
But it is evident that Mr. Huston is right
in saying that the President is in the field
for Ib.Fi. Tbe s gns that he is are apparent.
HeknoAs, however, that he is unpopular,
and that his popularity is not likely to in
crease. He is depending for a rer.omination,
therefore, upon the office-holders. Ke
tninks that be has made sure of the support
of the great newspaper organs of his party
by providing handsomely for tneir editors,
and he has taken care t > fill all the influ
ential offices with mn who will work for
him. He has, therefore, shown himself to
be a much shrewder politician than be has
the credit of being. When it is remem
bered how great the number of office
holders is, it is seen that he is in a position
to exercise extraordinary infiuencs in the
selection of delegates to the next national
convention.
It is alleged that Mr. Blaine, instead of be
ing hostile to him, favors his renomination,
and will use his influence in that direction.
He would like to remain in the state depart
ment with the view of doing something
there would give him a permanent
place in the history of the country. If be
has an ambition to be President he gives no
sign of it. He runs the state department
pretty much as he pleases, except that be is
not permitted to pursue any policy that
would likely lead to entanglements with
other nations.
It is probable that tbe President and his
advisers do not expect that the Republican
party wili rere.ve any support in the south
in the jext national election. Indeed, it is
doubtful if they even hope that it will carry
New York, if they can control the three
doubtful stated of New Jersey, Connecticut
and Indiana, they think that with the re
cently admitted states they can be victori
ous without the solid south and New York.
It is probable, therefore, that during the
next two years no effort will lie spared to
strengthen the Republican party ia New
Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana
If this is really the President’s pro
gramme tbe proposed legislation to placa
national elections under federal control
may be abandoned. It is reported
that the Pre.-ident is of the opinion that ha
made a mistake when he adopted a south
ern policy, and that it is not possible to
build up a Republican party in the south by
legislation of a political character. If /this
is his opinion, the south may have peace
daring the remainder of his adminis
tration. A peaceful south may be more
helpful to bis plans than a south disturbed
by hostile legislation.
But. after all, if tbe President is working
for a second term, is he not depending too
much upon state* which he regards as
surely republican? There have been great
charges in the political sentiment of the
west within the last year, and there are in
dications that there will b 9 still greater
changes before the next presidential elec
tion. The President may gain a reuomi na
tion, but hardly a re-election.
Strengthen the Association.
It will be very generally admitted that
the Citizens’ Sanitary Association has ren
dered excellent service since it has been in
existence. It has kept a close watch upon
those • things which, if neglected, would
tend to injure the health of the city, and it
has supervised closely the fruits, meats and
vegetables offered for sale in the markets.
There is no doubt that the watchfulness of
the association has had the effect of making
the authorities more careful in the dis
charge of those of their duties which relate
to the public health.
It is a matter of the highest importance
that the health of the city should be kept
good. That can be done only by seeing
that the articles for food offered in the
markets are wholesome, and that the city
is kept clean, and drained wherever drain
age is needed. If the people are satisfied
that the Citizens’ Sanitary Association has
been of service, and is likely to continue to
be, tbdy ought to help to sustain it. Its
revenue depends upon its membership, and
the membership fee is small. As many citi
zens should join the association as could
afford to do so. The more money the as
sociation has the more good it will be able
to do.
Summer is close at hand, and it is neces
sary that the city should be put into good
sanitary condition. The work that •the
association expects to do is to point out
danger spots and suggest the remedies
which will render them harmless. It will
■work in harmony with the city authorities,
assisting them in whatever way it can.
Dr. Talmage fiuds it pretty hard work to
raise the money with which to rebuild his
tabernacle. It is even said that he threat
ens to leave Brooklyn unless greater liber
ality is shown in the subscriptions to the
building fund. A paper was started with
Dr. Talmage as editor, with the View of
promoting the building of the tabernacle.
It was expected that 100,000 subscribers
would be obtained in a very short time at
$1 50 each. It is stated that only 1,600 have
been secured thus far. This would seem to
indicate that there is not a great demand for
Dr. Taimage’s paper. The statement is
made that a Chicago church has offered him
a salary of $30,000 a year. He gets $12,500
in Brooklyn. He is a rich man, however,
and can well afford to live wherever he
pleases.
The project known as the Grace Peruvian
contract has been consummated. It is a
gigantic financial undertaking which Peru
is entering upon, whereby she expects to
liquidate her debt. The capital of the
Grace corporation is £16,500,000, or double
the amount of the Peruvian debt. Mr. M.
P. Grace, brother of ex-Mayor Grace, of
New York, who is now in London, organ
ized the company. The first issue of bonds,
amounting to £7,500,000, has all been sub
scribed for, which indicates that the project
will be a success.

TITE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY. APRIL 20. 1890.
Cotton Stalk Bagging.
A dispatch ia the Morning News yes
terday from Augusta stated that William
E. Jackson, a lawyer of that city, had suc
ceeded in perfecting a machine for making
bagging from cotton stalks It also stated
that tbe bagging, as a ooveriag for cotton,
was in every respect equal to jute bagging.
It is sincerely to be hoped that this infor
mation is correct in every particular, and
that cotton stalk bagging can be made so
cheaply that it will take the place of both
cotton and jute bagging as a covering for
cotton.
It has long bien known that the cotton
stalk contained a strong fiber, and the
suggestion that it should be utilized has
been made frequently. The difficulty in the
way of acting upon the suggestion, how
ever, has been the impossibility of separat
ing tbe fiber from other parts of tbe stalk at a
cost that would permit of ia being used for
commercial purposes. If Lawyer Jackson
has removed this difficulty be has done
something that will bring him tame and
wealt h much sooner than he could reason
ably expect to obtain them from his pro
fession of the law.
It would not be wise, however, to conclude
that the next cotton crop, or the one suc
ceeding it. or, in fact, any cotton crop, is
going to be covered with cotton stalk bag
ging, until a good deal more is known about
Lawyer Jackson's machine than is known at
present, notwithstanding the assertion that
“cotton circles in Augusta are jubilant” over
it. We hope Augusta’s cotton circles have
good reason to be jubilant, and that Lawyer
Jackson's machine will be even a greater
triumph of mechanical genius than it is
alleged to be, but it must not be forgotten
that it has not been very long since
half a dozen or more jute machines
were thrust upon the attention of the
public with the information that thev would
make the cultivation of jute in the south
extremely profitable. It is unnecessary to
inquire whether or not those machines did
what it was claimed they would. It is suffi
cient to say that nobody in the south, or
anywhere else in this country, is raising
jute as a crop.
It may be, however, that Lawyer Jack
son has a really val lable invention. If he
has, he can easily get al! the capital that
would be necessary to build factories enough
to supply ail the cotton s'alk bagging
needed in the south. His factories, of course,
would have to be pretty close to the cotton
fields, because he could not afford to pay
more than a ton for the stalks. It is
evident that they could not bear transpor
tation for a long distance. In fact, the farm
ers would not find much profit in gathering
them at the price named. Before discuss
ing the cost of the raw material, however,
it would be well to wait for more definite
information about Lawyer Jackson’s ma
chine. It might not be necessary to discuss
the question of the cost of raw material at
all.
Scant Courtesy Shown the South.
The southern cities which made extensive
preparations for receiving and entertaining
the delegates to the pan- American congress
were greatly disappointed doubtless at tbe
decision of the delegates not to accept their
hospitalities. The most of the delegates
must have known several weeks betore the
adjournment of the congress that they
would not be able to visit the South, and as
they knew that preparations were being
made for their entertainment, it would have
been an act of courtesy to those
who expected to entertain them to
have announced that their plans would not
permit them to make a tour of tbe south.
In all the southern cities included in the
programme of the tour considerable time
and money were spent in making arrange
ments for the pleasure of their expected
guests. It was the intention to make the
southern tour an enjoyable one in every
respect, and it is certain that the delegates
would not have been disappointed.
The excuse given for abandoning the
tour, while it is satisfactory, doubtless, to
the delegates, is not satisfactory to those
who were devising ways and means to give
them pleasure. They said that they were
tired of the country and wanted to get
home. They were conscious of that feeling,
doubtless, when the southern tour was de
cided upon, and it would have been an easy
matter then to have consulted together and
expressed a wish that no further prepara
tions for their entertainment should be
made.
However, there is not so much reason to
find fault with them as there is with Mr.
Blaine, because they were not aware prob
ably that in the southern cities they were
expected to visit no efforts would be spared
to give them a hearty welcome. But Mr.
Blaine must have known that if there was
any doubt about the tour being made it was
but fair to the southern cities that the fact
should have been announced at once.
It is worthy of notice that the trip through
the north and west was taken when the
delegates were fresh from their homos, and
were eager to see the country. The south
was given the cold shoulder. It was thought
that it would be time enough to visit the
south after the congress had adjourned.
Mr. Blaine, if he thought about
the matter at all, must hive
been pretty well satisfied that after the
delegates got through with the business
which called them together they would be
anxious to get back to their homes as soon
as possible. It is said that Mr. Blaine is
very sorry that the southern trip came to
such a sudden termination. It may be that
ho was, but it is pretty certain that he was
responsible to a very great degree for its
failure.
About a year ago Secretary Wiudom de
cided that imported woolens and worsteds
should pay the same duties. This ruling
was made in response to the interpretatiofcs
placed upon the law by the worsted man
ufacturers of Philadelphia, New York and
New England. The importers paid th*
duties demanded under protest, and they
have just gained a verdict from the circuit
court at New York, which sustains their
protest, and directs the government to pay
back the sums paid by these importers in
excess of the legal duties. The manufact
urers have waited upon Mr. McKinley and
other members of the ways and means com
mittee, asking for a joint resolution sus
pending the operation of the decision.
Artesian water to supply the arid regions

The Mesmeric Influence.
“It is surprising the amount of mesmeric in
fluence some men possess," remarked an ex
pert bookkeeper to a Detroit Tribune writer.
“Some, time ago in New York I had to go over
the books of a firm that had dissolved to
straighten out matters. When I started the
balance-sheet showed $25,000 in favor of part
ner No. 1. Weii, for daps and days we worked
on the books. It was the most tiresome work I
ever undertook. Partner No. 1 was a remarks
ble man, persuasive and affable in demeanor.
Sometimes he would come in to go over some
of the figures with me. ‘These are not right,'
he would say. I knew they were and woujd say
so. Then ne would start to argue with me,
and I felt myself giving way. Finally I would
have to leave the room. In the hall I would
walk up and down, saying to myself: ‘You're a
fooL \ou know vour figures are right. - When
he had departed I would recover and be able to
go on. But all the while I felt the man’s subtle
influence, I struggled against it. ‘Do yonr
duty.' I kept saying to myself.
“Finally when I reached the result, I turned
pale. Partner No. 1 was short $150,000. He
came in. ‘Well?'he said. 'There is the result,'
I answered. He looked at it and never winced.
‘You are sure the figures are right?" ‘Yes.’ I
said. I struggled desperately, and th’s time he
was not able to conquer me. ‘Wei!,’ he said, ‘if
those figures are correct the money will be
paid.’
“And he did pay it, every cent, although it
took all he had. You would be astonished to
know who that man was. I attribute his mar
velous success to his magnetic personality.
Every one with whom he comes in
contact feels it. He associates with many men
in great undertakings, but he always gets tbo
kernels while t hey get the shells, and moreover,
everything is done as per contract. Year by
year I watch this man’s career with added sur
prise, andalwavs congratulate mvself that I
was able to withstand him. He is the only man
I ever met who could for the time being make
me doubt my mathematical accuracy.”
Facts About Feet.
“Girls between the ages of 16 and 18,“ says a
fashionable shoemaker in the Chicago Journal,
“have often enormous feet, and the flesh is fat
and inflamed, but at 2c years these enlarge
ments entirely subside, the muscles ana tendons
and all the flesh parts of the foot become
firmer, the stt&pe of tne foot has decreased, and
in every way a uifference is seen. Shoemakers
have much aifiicuuy with young ladies at tins
age, as they take as large a saoe as an adult
w oman. When tney get older and their feet
settle, and new shoes are made on the old last,
they Complain of taem being too large. Ex
planations have to be made when shoes tor the
girl of 1& are charged for at the same price as
her mother's. It nas to be demonstrated that
as muen material and workmanship is put into
one as the other. Among men irom 30 to 32
years of age the teet lengthen in a very oer
eeptible manner. At this age three-fourths of
tne customers complain that the recently made
pair of shoes were snorter than the last. Feet
sometimes lengthen nearly half an inch.”
Cutting a Swell.
FVo m the Boston Courier.
A fashion plate, he w alfcs the street.
His shallow' headlined with conceit
And brass, as well;
One role in life be aims to play.
It brightens up his little day
To cut a sw ell.
The men to whom the dandy's known,
Who'd fain acquaintanceship disown,
Tne truth to tell;
When er they meet him, pass him by,
And thus their willingness imply
To cut a swell.
The footpad who assails the dude
And leaves the marks of treatment rude
Doth much rebel.
Because the law’s decrees prevail
And it doth cost a term in jail
To cut a swell.
No Traces of Grist
Frederick Gebhard has been seen about
on foot a good deal of late, says the New York
Sun. He was formerly to be seen only when
flying up and down Fifth avenue in his coupe
or private hansom. Now he takes long walks
daily, and the reason is to be found in his in
crease in weight. When he was traveling
around the country writh the I-angtry company
he was forced to take a good deal of exercise,
and the life of repose which he recently entered
upon is beginning to swell bis formerly rather
s ini proportions. There are no traces of sor
row or grief in bis demeanor, despite the con
tinued absence of tne Lily.
