The MarquU de Leuville, it Is said, makes
the statement that Mrs. Frank Leslie has

He has been confirmed as consul at Guaya

As the time approaches for making nomi
nations for state offices it is noticeable that
the candidates ate becoming anxious and
uneasy. They are keeping their eyes upon
the farmers’ alliance. They seem to think
that that organization holds their fate in its
hands.
The H'oWd seems very anxious for Sen
ator Quay to sue it for libel. Now is the
senator’s opportunity to prove that the

maker amuses his Sunday school when he
addresses it.
Gen. Longstreet will attend the ceremony

that interesting occasion.
At last Charles Emory Smith, our minis

Mr* H. A. Jacksou, the Augusta lawyer

bagging out of cotton stalks, is talking to
congressmen at the Metropolitan hotel,
YYashington, D.C. He seems to think that bis

The Gag Law App i ad.
Tte republican majority of the House
have adopted a resolution tbit no amend
ments to the tariff bill shall be offered after
Wednesday noon, next, and that the dis
cussion of that measure shall cease at that
time. This resolution was offered by the
committee on rules. Mr. Blount, who is now
a member cf that committee, pointed out
strongly and eloquently that the resolution
was unjust and unfair to the minority,
and that the republican man
agers, in taking away from the
ways and means committee the right which
it has under the rules to control the debate
on the bill, committed an outrage upon the
people. Mr. Blount spoke with considera
ble feeling. He must have known, how
ever, that he was only wasting his time.
Nothing he could have said would have
caused the republican managers to change
their plans
It is well understood now that the repub
lican caucus decided before the tariff bill
was taken up just how much time sh' uld
be given to its discussion. The republican
managers knew very well that the bill
.could not be considered as it ought to be,
and as its importance demanded, in the
very few days that they set apart for that
purpose, and they also knew that the demo
crats would not make preparation
to take part in the debate if
there was little or no prospect
of their getting a chance to do so. They
are carrying out their programme to the
letter. The powerful minority which, ac
cording to the popular vote at the last
national election, represent the majority of
the people, are prevented from discussing a
measure in which every citizen is inter
ested, and which is by far the most import
ant one before congress. The tariff bill
when it passes the House will not be the
result of the best judgment of that body.
It will be the result of the deliberations of
the republican caucus.
Some amendments may be permitted, but
it is quite certain that none would be if
Representative Butterworth, one of the
ablest republicans in the House, had not at
tacked the bill in a speech that earned
consternation into the republican ranks.
The republican organs are trying to coun
teract the effect of that speech. They may
be able to do so to some extent, but it looks
now as if McKinley and his friends would
agree to a reduction in the tin plate duty,
and in the duty on some other articles. If
the bill should pass in its present shape, or
with only a few modifications, it would be
known as the gag-law tariff bill.
Loud Calls for Boutelle’s BUL
The country is just getting aroused over
the recent decision of the supreme court in
the lowa case, in which it was held that
intoxicating liquors could be taken into
prohibition states and sold in the original
packages. The decision, as soon as it was
rendered, was seen to be very damaging to
prohibition, but the many ways it could be
made to cover evasions of prohibition laws
w ere not fully understood.
Fall Paver, for instance, is a prohibition
city, and it is very close to the Rhode
Islaud line. Rhode Islaul is not a prohib
ition state. Dej ositories for intoxicating
liquors have been established close to the
line, and whisky, wine, beer, and other
liquors are sent to Customers in Fall River
in kegs or bottles, jiis; as they may wish.
There is nothing to prevent the packages of
intoxicants from being taken into that city.
Fall River is only one of thousands of
similar instances. An extraordinary trade
in intoxicants in original packages has
sprung up. The prohibitionists protest, of
course, against the constant violation of the
state laws, but their protests are not heeded.
The remedy for this condition of affairs
is believed to be the Buutelle bill, which
amends the iuter-state commerce act so as
to provide that nothing in that act shall be
so construed as to authorize the sale of in
toxicating liquors in any state con
trary to the laws thereof. This
ameudmeot is in harmony with
the decision of the chief justice
of the supreme court, who said iu his
decision that congress had the power to put
up the bars which, the court showed, were
down. This bill of Boutelle’s will not meet
with much opposition, probably. Indeed,
in view of the strength of the prohibitionists
in a great many of the states, very few
members of oongress would dare to op
pose it.
This original package decision has ex
cited an extraordinary amount of discus
sion. The fact that three of the justices
dissented from it has been a sort of rallying
point for all of those who find fault with it.
Some very able lawyers have not hesitated
to express the opinion that it is not in ac
cordance w ith the intent of either the con
stitution or the interstate commerce law.
It is pretty safe to say, however, that the
decision is a sound one. The question it
decides is one of those concerning which
there is always a difference of opiuion.
Carlisle Wins.
Mr. Carlisle will fill the vacancy in the
Senate caused by the death of Senator Beck.
It is unnecessary to say that no better
selection couid have been made.
Mr. Carlisle is just in the prime of life.
He will be 55 years of age next September,
and he has been in public life for thirty
years. He was elected to the Kentucky
House of Representatives in 1859,
and to the Kentucky Senate in
1866, and re-elected in 1869. In
1871 he was elected lieutenant-governor of
Kentucky, and served until August, 1875.
He was elected to the forty-fifth congress,
and to each succeeding congress, and was
speaker of the forty-eighth, forty-ninth
and fiftieth congresses.
Mr. Carlisle possesses ability of a very
superior order. He is one of the few mem
bers of the house of representatives who
always commands attention when he ad
dresses that body. The only fault that
has been found with him as a
leader is that he is not aggressive
enough. When speaker he was absolutely
impartial. He never permitted partisan
feelings to influence his judgment or his
"rulings. He will be an houor to Kont icky
in the Senate, as he has boen in the House.
His party will miss him in the Houss, whera
his wise counsels have been of incalculable
benefit to it and to the country.
Col. Elliott Shepard was puffed up with
the idea that the President was going to
give him a first-class foreign mission. It is
quite certain tbat the President never
thought of doing anything of the kind. He
has, however, endeavored to retain the
colonel’s good will by permitting him to do
the society act in tbe white house.
The probability is that New York will
never get a street superintendent who will
give entire, satisfaction. The present one,
it is asserted, spends more money than his
predecessor, and yet the streets are dirtier
than they ever were.
THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, MAY 17, 1890.
Mr. Nor then’s Views.
The Ishmaelite has an interview with
Mr. Northern the well-known candidate for
the democratic nomination for gove uor, on
! several important questions in which the
people of this stato are interes ed.
Mr. Nortben is not an advocate of the
supremacy of c rnotations. He says that
“every corporation has its guaranteed
rights, and the state Is bound to protect
them.” He is opposed to granting any
rights to any corporation th t en
croaches upon the reserved rights of
th 9 people. He does .’t own stock
in any corporation, and has never
held an office in one. He can safely say,
therefore, that thus far he has been wholly
free from corporation influences. He an
nounces that he is in favor of the railroad
commission. About everybody appears to
be, and it would be rather odd if he were
not. Even the railroads are not hostile to a
commission.
Mr. Northon denies emphatically that he
has promised to confer favors on persons
who have agreed to assist him in his efforts
to get the governorship. It would
seem as if this denial were
superfluous. It is doul tful if anybody be
lieves that he purposes to reach the guber
natorial chair by means of i argains. He
has never shown himself to be that sort of
a man. He has always appeared to be
straightforward in his dealings, and it is
quite safe to accept his statement that if
elected governor he would enter upon tno
discharge of his duties absolutely free to do,
in all things, w hat he thought was for the
best interest of the whole people.
Powderly'a Manifesto.
General Master Workman Fowderly Is
not quite so influential now as be was a
couple of years ago. HU labor organizai ion
has fallen away from him to a very consid
erable extent. Nevertheless, he still has a
great deal of influence. His public utter
ances indicate an intention to do what is
right, and, besides, they have a basis of
common sense.
He has just issued a manifesto to the
Knights of Labor of Pennsylvania relative
to ballot reform. He doesn’t like the pres
ent election law of that state, mainly because
it authorizes the nnmbonng of ballots. The
ballots being numbered, it is an easy matter
to discover for whom a voter casts his bal
lot. Asa matter of fact, the judges of elec
tion do not hesitate to investigate the bailors
of prominent persons and make known the
tickets they voted.
If the ballot is not secret it U not free,
because many men would not vote openly
the ticket they are willing to vote secretly.
The fact that ballots are made public in
timidates voters aid tendi t> koep them
away from the polls, or influences them to
vote contrary to their judgment.
Mr. Powdorly wants the Australian ballot
system adopted in Pennsylvania, and, as it
will require a consti-utional convention to
change the present election law, he calls for
a convention of that kind. The Knights of
Labor still control a very large vote in
Pennsylvania, and this manifesto will cause
a fluttering among the politicians. Tne
pol ticiansof the Quay kind don’t want
ballot reform. They are satisfied with the
present law, because it offers them the
opportunities they want to reach voters and
influence their votes.
Ballot reform, however, is steadily gain
ing headway in all parts of the couutry.
Several states have already adopted it and
others will adiptit very soon. The Aus
tralian system, or a system similar to it,
seems to be what the people want.
IV er Cooper Hewitt, son of ex-Mayor
Hewitt, of New York, was outrageously
treated by policemen on Tuesday. The cir
cumstances were these; When the audi
ence left the Madison square theater, where
there had been a concert by the Lad.es’ Or
chestra, the street was blocked by vehicles,
and a cab stood in the way of some ladies*
who wished to enter their carriage. Mr.
Hewitt asked the cabman to back his horse.
Tbe cabman refused, and Mr. Hewitt lm
paiiently seized the horse by the bridle and
pushed him back. Thereupon the cabman
rose in his seat and lashed Mr. Hewitt over
the head and shoulders with his long whip.
Mr. Hewitt responded by promptly jump
ing upon the box and breaking his cane
over the cabman’s bead. A policeman who
had been a spectator of the whole affair
then stepped to the front, grabbed Mr. Hew
itt by the collar and forced him to go to a
police station. The cabman, who was in
the vrong, refnsed to prefer a complaint,
and Mr. Hewitt was informed that he was
free to go. At this time the ex-mayor ap
peared on the scene, and did some lively
talki g. It is expected that the situation
will be made rather unpleasant for the po
liceman who figured in the affair.
Senator Gorman thinks the pension bur
■ den will reach $300,000,000 a year before
the demagogues will think it time to put the
brakes on peusion legislation. There is no
telling to what extent the people will bo
taxed for pensions if they don’t rise up and
protest against turning all the revenues of
the government over to the pension sharks
and the grand army veterans.
A lively gubernatorial contest is -going
on in Alabama. The candidates for the

Jones, Crook and Richardson. The coun

the lead. Only about forty counties have
been heard from, ho we ver.
Is tbe furious fight that is going on in
Brooklyn, N.> Y., over the postmastorship of
that city due to the fact that Murat Hal
stead has taken up his residence there? If
he is not careful he will become known as a
promoter of discord. It is understood that
he had to leave Ohio because he got his
pa. ty into trouble.
Mr. Henderson, chairman of the river
and harbor committee, says that he will
not listen to any suggestion looking to de
laying the passage of the river and harbor
bill until next session. He purposes to call
up tbe bill just as soon as he can get &
chance to do so, and the people will uphold
him iu his course.
United States Minister to Brazil Adams,
who it is alleged came home to capture the
district represented in congress by the
late Mr. Randall, will have the pleasure, if
it be a pleasure, of sailing back again. He
has no more chance of being elected than
he has of making a reputation as a diplo
mat.
Senators Hoar and Plumb do not speak
now as they pass by. These good senators
accused each other of boorishness, and it is
generally understood that they knew what,
they were talking about. i t
The Chicago Tribune wants to know

Friendship. ,
From the Boston Globe,
The stars that burn with purest beam,
Like brilliants round the brow of night.
Not half so warm and lovely seem
As eyes that shine wilh fr.ea iship's light.
Wuen turning back our wandering feet
We know that sacred fire will rise.
And feel each moment doubly sweet
That brings us near those beaming eyes.
I know where richest blossoms blow,
And cloudless skies bestow their smiles;
Where streams in melting music flow—
Tnro’ hallowed and enchanted isles.
But I can see each fairest flower
In Cloudless eyes and feel the spell
Of tones whose lightest sound has power
To match Apollo’s winding shell.
I would not tread where angels lead,
If friends I love were left behind.
With tears to weep and hearts to bleed,
Tho’ paradise my steps should find.
Its beings may be fairer far.
Its streets of gold and jasper be;
But leave me where ray loved ones are.
That will be paradise to me. E. J. D.
Charge It.
Just as last Saturday night was merging into
Sunday morning, says Texas Sift.ngs , three
persons, two evidently from the couutry, the
third a city man, walked down the marble stair
case of the Auditorium hotel, and approached
Will Schafer, the night clerk.
"How much is the bill for oursupper?” asked
the city man.
‘Twenty dollars,” replied Schafer, and then
poured out a glass of water for one of tae
countrymen whom the price had made dizzy.
“All right,” said the city man, airily, ' just
charge it to ray account,” and taking an arm
of each of his country companions he led them
out.
"Old customer of yours?” queried a by
stander.
"No,” said Schafer. “I never saw or heard
of him before to night.'•
"Well, is that the way you give credit?”
“That’s anew way. Tne truth i<, he wanted
to make an impression on his two country
friends, and give them the idea that he stands
in well with everybody. Just before they fin
ished supper he came down to m • and paid th •
bill, w.dch was only $lO, and said that when he
came down with the countrymen he would ask
me bow much he owed. I ‘was to reply S2O,
and be, with a grandiloquent air, was to instruct
me to charge it to his account, tnereby creating
his desired impression. See?”
A Psychological Interview.
“Don’t, say a word," exclaims Bilkin*, impres
sively, as a gaunt, unshaven man entered his
office, says America. "Don’t speak; don’t utter
a syiable. I have acquired tne gift of mind
reading. A mysterious sympathy is established
between us. I read your purpose. You have
come here to collect Kent & Blunt’s little ac
count. Is it not so?”
•’lt is. You are quite right,” replied the
gaunt, unshaven one. “I, too, have been a
mind reader in my time. The power is on me
now. I know your thoughts. I can tell what
the speech will be that you are framing even
now. You are going to say, ‘I am very sorry,
but you will have to call again.’ Am 1 not
right?"
"Marvelous,” ejaculated Bilkius.
“I can go further,” pursued the prophet, in a
hoarse whisper. "You will tell me to cote in
about the middle of Dext week.”
"Miraculous,” cried Bilkins. “Now it is my
turn. I can see into your very soul. You will
answer, ‘I have been coming here lor the past
two years every week, and it’s niga time you
settled up.’”
"You astonish me.”
"Yea, more—you will threaten to bring suit
against me."
"Just what I was going to say. But I can
carry my spiritual communion furtner. You
will say ’sue aud be—blanked.’ ”
"My dear sir, you are inspired. You ought to
he a wealthy propoet."
"Then, continued the gaunt, unshaven party,
“after I give you a little back tali you will
waft me gently into the street.”
“There is no use fighting against destiny,"
responded Bilkins; and a few moments later,
as tbe gaunt, unshaven mind reader collected
his remains from the sidewalk, he was over
heard to remark that the next time he mot a
psycologist he would pass by on the other side.
A Colored Philosopher.
Out about four miles from Natchez, says a
Detroit Free Press man, I came across a colored
man who had headed for town with a jag of
wood on a one mule wagon. At a narrow spot
in the road, where the mud was a foot deep, his
oid mule had given out and the wagon was
stalled. The man sat on a log by the roadside,
smoking a corn cob Dipe and en joying a sun
bath, and after viewing the situation I asked:
"Well, wbat are you going to do?”
“Nuffln, boss,” be answered.
“Going to leave tbe rig right there until it
sinks out of sight?”
"Oh, she’s done gone down about as fur as
she kin.”
"And you are in no hurry?"
“No. sah. I’ze got all dis week to get to
town."
"Well, you take things pretty cool, I must
say.”
"Sav, boss, jist sot down heab half an hour
an’ see de fllosophy of de thing," he answered.
“I’m working a common sense plan on dis diffi
culty.”
I got down and took a seat, and it wasn't
ten minutes before a cottoa team, with four
darkeys perched on the bales, came up from the
rear.
”Yo’. dar—what's de rumpus?” demanded the
driver as be checked his mules.
"Dun got stuck fast.”
"O—ho! Como along, boys, an’git dat ole
mewl outer bis trouble.”
They all got down.eachtook awheel, aDd with
a “heave-o” the vagou was lifted out of the
mud and was ready to go on.
"Sea de pint?" queried tbe owner of the rig,
who hadn’t lifted a pound himself.
“I do.”
"Dat's what ails de black man to-day-han’t
got no fllosophy. He-haw, now. Julius—git
right up’n bead yure ole backbone! So long,
white man—see yo’ later!”
A Stone From His Brother’s Shirt
Front.
He entered a Broadway car at Canal street,
and, as every seat was taken, says the New
York Sun, he stood up and hung to a strap.
On his left hand, which hung by his side, was a
large ring, and everybody at once noticed that
the stone was gone. The ring seemed to be
valuable enough for the stone to have been a
diamond, and presently a man leaned forward
and said:
."Excuse me, sir, but you have met with a loss.
The stone is gone from your ring.”
"Wnat! So it is!” exclaimed the man, as he
lifted his hand.
He dropped his eyes to the floor, and in five
seconds every other eye in the car followed suit.
Heads were bent down, words of condolence b
gan to be utter and, and two or three men got
down on their hands aud Knees and looked under
the seats. After five minutes' search, one of
them finally asked:
"When did you miss it?”
“Just now.”
“Think you lost it in the car?”
“Dunno.”
"Was it very valuable?”
“Well, I prized it highly as a keepsake.”
Another hunt was made, but with no better
success. Then the owner of the rmg began to
feel in his pockets, and presently he toog out a
shirt button, with a bit of wire to it, which
somehow fitted into the ring, and after placing
it he held up the ring and said:
"Thanks for your interest, good people. 'Tis
a button from the shirt of my brotuer George.”
He stepped oil the car with a bow and a
smile, and nothing was said for a couple of
minutes. Then a man with a deep bass voice
called out:
"And who in is his brother George, I’d
like to know !**
But no one could say. All were busy in won
dering how they had let a smart Aleck make
fools of them.

Lake Chelan, Wash., never freezes, although
in latitude 48° north. The reasou given is that
it is so deep, and the warm water al ways rises

Modern chemistry shows that the medical

actual antid ites to scrofula.
Anew method of ventilating railway car

The oldest man in the British navy is now in
his 100th year. Sir Provo William Parry Wallis,
G. G 8., the senior admiral of the fleet, is tbe
only survivor of the famous naval combat be
tween her majesty’s ship Shannon and the
American frigate Chesapeake off Dost n har
bor on June 1. 1813. He was the actual captor
of the Chesapeake, the first lieutenant of the
Shannon having been killed au the captain
dangerously wounded, so that the American
captain surrendered to Wallis, as the senior
offic-r in command. The aged and gallant
admiral was born at Halifax, in Nova Scotia,
on April 12, 1761. and was actually entered on
the books of tbe navy on May 1, 1745, on board
the LOiseau at Halifax, where bis father was
o lief c erk in the naval yard. Thus he has
really been in the naval service for tile space of
nearly ninety-five years.
Some remarkable achievements in surgery
are reported from Berlin. At tbe surgical con
gress, Prof. Gluck demonstrated the successful
substitution of catgut, ivory and bone freed
from chalk, for defects in bones, muscles, and
nervous sinews. Tne juices of the body are
sucked up iu the inserted material, thereby
establishing tbe junction of the separated ends,
without any shortening of the part. He pre
sented the cases of patients in whom there nad
been an insertion of from six to teu centimeters
or catgut to supply defects in the leade.s of the
hands, to nhicu complete mobility bail been
restored. In the case of another pationt Prof.
Gluck r. moved a tumor from tbe thigh,causing
a Considerable defect in the bone. He inserted
ivory, and no shortening ensued. In another
case he removed a large piece of nerve in the
groin and inserted catgut, and the functions
remained completely satisfactory.
Assistant District Attorney Macdona of
New York, who is a survivor of one of the
Jeannette search exped tions, has accepted the
invitation of the American Yacht Club to de
liver an address at Kye early in June. In com
mon with every one familiar with the far north
Mi-. Macdona is quite convinced that the coming
summer will be big with surprises for naviga
tors in the Arctic, for the reason that the mild
winter bus freed great continents of tast ice
that have for generations prevented the north
ward passage of explorers. Yiever. since com
munication was established between America
and Europe, has ice btseu encountered on the
Atlantic in such low latitudes, and the quanti
ties have been sc great as t j make impractica
ble previously established steam lain-s in the
northern “forties.” The tact that many of the
captains reporting ice have noticed that it con
tained great quantities of clay and rock Mr.
Macdona regards as convincing evidence that it
is wi at is cailel "shore ice,” and that land
heretofore unapproachable can now be reached.
The object of the club in inviting Mr. Macduna
is to revive public interest in the subject of
Arctic exploratiqn at a propitious time.
