Headsman Ciarkson is an expert in the 1 1 of decapitation, but for delicacy and Mspatch in that line Secretary Windom is tat it led to the ax. Are not the liquor dealers overdoing the riginal package business in prohibition quarters? If they are not careful they may turn victory into defeat. A widespread plot to bring about another revolution iu Brazil has been discovered. The conspirators proposed to put out the present rulers, just as the latter ousted the imperialists. The revolutionists have found out that overturning governments isn’t all it is cracked up to be. Edward Bellamy will probably have the satisfaction of putting some of his peculiar ideas about government into practice. He is talked of for the first mayor of the new city of Chicopee, Mass., which, although an old town, is just now assuming the vesti ture of an incorporated city. There is a lurking suspicion that there is another motive besides the lawful one for collecting and compiling the names of all the living ex-union soldiers and widows of soldiers. These volumes when printed will be a great convenience to pension agents, and who is most to profit by this job if not the pension agent? The Spanish cabinet has decided to give an English syndicate the contract for the Cuban Central railway, because it offers better security than the American syndi cate, but will stipulate that American firms shall supply a portion of the material. The contract for building the Cuban Central railway is for millions of dollars, and it is surprising that the Americans did not look more closely after their interests in the matter. The disclosures of rottenness and corrup tion in New York city before the Fassett investigating committee expose the low state of political morals in the metropolis. The revelations made sustain the view of affairs taken by the Rev. Dr. Heber Newton, in a sermon preached last Sunday, that the city government is a combination of the tiosses for jobbery and political dodges to escaj e responsibility and to permit all sorts of rascality. The unsettled state of affairs about the tariff is a bar to the negotiations for the proposed commercial treaty between this country and Mexico. If the Senate should accept the free sugar provisions of the House bill it would remove a great difficulty in the way now, as it would not be neces sary to stipulate for it in the treaty. The duty on sjjver and lead ore may prove the stumbling block, however, but a treaty conceding the free entrance of Mexican ores in return for free entrance for Ameri can products into Mexico might solve the difficulty. * Delayed Tariff Legislation. Ther. is a pretty fair prospect that there will be no tariff legislation at this session of congress. The Morning News suggested some time ago that the cutlook was not favorable for the early passage of a tariff bill. Senater Plumb’s resolution, calling for a table shewing the changes which the McKinley bill makes in th* present tariff, and also giving the reasons for the changes, cannot be prepared under a mooth or two. There is another thing that will delay tariff legislation. It is the determination cf the finance committee to open its doors and bear what those who are directly in terested in the tariff have to say with re spect to the changes which the McKinley bill makes. It is evident that these hear ings will consume an immense amount of time. They will take so much time that it will be rather remarkable if the Senate reaches a vote on any tariff bill during this session. The republican organs pretend to be en tirely satisfied with what is understood to be the tariff programme of the Senate. They declare that the more the McKinley bill is discussed the more popular it will be. In view of the fact that debate upon it in the House was practically denied there is reason for suspecting the sincerity of this assertion of the republican organs. If they are so anxious to have the bill discussed, why did they not permit ft to be debated in the House? The Philadelphia Fress, which follows its party upon about all matters with slavish fidelity, says: “The McKinley tariff in prin ciple and in its policy will profit by every hour in which it is explained, advocated and debated, and become immeasurably stronger before the country.” And yet this same party organ favored the means by which the McKinley bill was put through the House—means that were the very opposite of free discussion. Indeed, it is quite certain that the bill would not have been passed at all if it had not been made a caucus measure. The pretense of the re publican organs, therefore, that they want the bill discussed is a very hollow one. The Carpenters' Victory. The Carpenter , the organ of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, sufnming up the eight-hour move ment in its issue of this week, declares that the eight-hour day has lieen secured for carpenters in twenty-seven cities and towns, affecting 23,355 men in the trade. Nine cities are still out for the eight-hour day and six compromised on nine hours. The nine-hour day, the same authority asserts, has been established in seventy-two cities and towns, with the addition of eight hours a day on Saturday in many instances. The concession affects 14,180 carpenters, while gains are claimed to have been made in the shape of increased wages in eighteen other cities, affecting 2,682 men. In round num bers 40,000 carpenters have been benefited by the movement. This is certainly a great victory for the carpenters. They were chosen by the American Federation of Labor to inaugu rate the eight-hour movement. Eight hours work, eight hours play, eight tfours sleep, is an ideal division of the day, and a division which may ultimately find a place in the more complete and perfect organiza tion of society. But it has not by any means been established beyond questioning that such a division is expedient under existing conditions, and certain it is that, at present it has not been deemed desirable by more than a limited number of trades into which the laboring class is divided. No argument is needed, however, to prove that for the development of an individual leisure is necessary—not for idleness, but for improvement in those things that will enable him to earn a better livelihood and to enjoy what he earns. Nor is argument needed to prove to the fair minded that the laboring class, on the ground of manhood, is entitled to such freedom for such purposes. The carpenters have demonstrated that a large proportion of the employers are ready and willing to concede this, and others are only waiting until it will be deemed expedi ent to follow their lead. It is also note worthy that the concessions made were secured, except in a few instances, without strife or trouble, and where extreme dif ferences of opinion existed compromises were made for nine hours or an advance in wages. But in all cases where an issue was made the workmen gained some concession. A great deal of adverse criticism is being made in the north because the promoters of the world’s fair have discovered that it Is necessary to amend the constitution of Illi nois in order to have a state appropriation of $5,0110,000 made for the exposition. The men who were opposed to the fair being given to Chicago say that this is tantamount to a confession that it will not be nearly the grand show which was projected. This method of warfare is usually resorted to by rival jingo boom towns, but such talk coming from New York and Philadelphia is in bad grace. It is almost a confession that those cities are jealous of Chicago; and well they may be, but it should not engender ill-feeling and strife. Now that the Windy City has been chosen as the site of the fair, every citizen in the country should take a pride in it and help to make it a success. The money will, no doubt, be forthcoming. It is an obligation which the people of Chicago cannot afford to let go to protest, and there is every reason to rfclieve that they will not. Post McPherson, G. A. R., of Brooklyn, N. Y., made a lamentable exhibition of its superloyal idiocy in a set of resolutions con demning the use of the confederate flag at the unveiling of the Lee monument at Richmond. The resolutions teem with silly utterances, and are full of venom and hate toward the south. From the tenor of the resolutions it appears that the members of McPherson post are the kind of men who would delight iu persuading heretics to their way of thinking by the gentle influ ence of the rack and stake. Headsman Clarkson’s explanation in ans wer to Henry Cabot Lodge’s reply to his Boston speech doesn’t explain. Clarkson turns loose bis lingual artillery on the Massachusetts reformer, and tries to create the impression that he was misinterpreted. Whether misunderstood or not, Mr. Lodge’s reply is manly, courteous and logical, while the imprint of the blatant demagogue is plainly marked all over in Clarkson’s speech and his interview. Who placed the dynamite at the base of the Haymarket monument in Chicago erected in honor of the policemen who were killed in the anarchist riots is still a mystery to the officers. "Ben Butler,” declared Mrs. Schmuller, a female anarchist, “is to 1 blame for it all.” Is Butler a candidate for President, and fishing for anarchist votes I THE MORNING NEWS : THURSDAY, MAY 29, 1890. Gov. Gordon and the Alliance. The Farmers’ Alliance of Georgia has no moro enthusiastic friend and supporter than ' Gov. Gordon. At an alliance meeting sev i eral weeks ago it was decided to ask these wfcr wore kuown tc be candidates for office certain questions. It is understood that t Gov. Gordon is a candidate for the United 1 States Senate. A letter containing the list of questions was, therefore, sent to him. In the last issue cf the paper published by the alliance the letter to Gov. Gordon and his answer appear. The governor’s letter is an eloquent one. He always writes and speaks eloquently, but on this occasion he seems to have made a sort of prize effort. He bints tbat there was no occasion to ask him whether or not he favor* the alli ance because for fifteen years he has been urging the farmers to organize. He has been firmly convinced duriDg that period and longer, that an all-embracing brother hood of the tillers of the toil could exert a powerful influence in behalf of the farmers. It could protect them from unfriendly leg islation—particularly hurtful discrimina tion—and it could influence the shaping of the policies of the government so tbat they would be favorable to the farming interests Gov. Gordon’s letter bears the marks of sincerity, and there is no reason to doubt that his utterances are sincere; but the question arises, what does the alliance gain by addressing letters of inquiry to the can didates for office? Does it suppose that any candidate is going to oppose the alliance,par ticularly as there is no sentiment anywhere against the alliance? If a fight were being made on the alliance, as is the case in Ala bama, then jts action in sending out letters of Inquiry would be regarded as timely and wise, but as it has no opposition it could not reasonably expect that the replies of the genuine candidates for office would be other wise than strongly favorable to the alli ance. Although Gov. Gordon approves the alliance he does not promise to support every policy the alliance may adopt. “With wise counsels to guide them to con servative action,” he says, “and with full recognition of the rights of others, * * * the success of this great movement by the brotherhood of farmers will be doubly assured.” If the alliance is guided by wise counsels the governor thinks it will be a success. Of course it will be, and it ought to be. The men of whom the alliance should be suspicious are those who want to use it to advance their ambitious purposes. The counsels of such men should be received with hesitation, because they care nothing about the alliance except in so far as they can make it helpful to themselves. There are plenty of such men. It would not be difficult, perhaps, to spot some of them now. The alliance knows them, doubtless, and, if it hopes for success, it will not put a great deal of trust in them. The Physical Wreck Questions. The superintendent of the census has noti fied the census supervisors to instruct enu merators not to insist upon answers to ques tions relative to mental and physical disa bilities and to farm mortgages. He says that the enumerators must make a record of those who refuse to answer these ques tions, and that all legal proceedings will be instituted by the department of justice at Washington. From the foregoing a fair inference is that the superintendent ot the census has concluded that the ques ions referred to are too inquisitorial in their character—tbat they are such questions as ought not to be asked nor answered, and that if they were asked the probability of getting truthful answers is so remote tbat the information that would be obtained, if answers to them were insisted upon, would be virtually worthless. It is quite plain that no citizen is going to admit that he is a physical or mental wreck, nor are his friends going to make such an admission. Comparatively few sick people know the nature of the disease from which they are suffering, and very often the doctors who attend them do not know beyond a doubt. Those who are suffering from chronic troubles are not likely to tell a census enumerator about their ailments. Many farmers would have no hesitation in answering with regard to farm mort gages, but others would. If a farmer had mortgaged his farm and wasted the money, he would not like to admit to a stranger tbat he had wasted it. IS is hardly probable that many of those who refuse to answer the questions to which the superintendent calls attention will be prosecuted. If there are those who don’t want to answer them it might be well to take legal advice before finally deciding not to do so. Clarkson thus unbosomed himself to a reporter for the Mail and Express in New York; "Holding office is a wild delusion in many respects. We hear of honor and glory being attached, but somehow the in cumbents never appreciate them. It is a fallacy that exisis in the minds of those who do "not hold office. I get up early in the morning, and have to see about 1,200 visitors daily, besides seeing that some 2,000 letters are answered. Then I have to look to the distribution of some $26,000,000 an nually, so my office-holding is not a sine cure. I forget the glory of the office in the hard work, and I believe many others are similarly situated.” What martyrdom this great and good man must suffer! And if it wasn’t so well known that Mr. Clarkson is a pious deacon, besides being a leader of the party of great moral ideas, it would make people believe that he had been drawing on his imagination for some of his facts. An incident that serves as another striking illustration of the administration’s con tempt for civil service reform is the order just issued by Secretary Windom to Col lector of the Port Erhardt of New York to dismiss from the surveyor’s department of the custom house nineteen weighers, whose places are to be filled by Harrison’s hench men. The collector has been directed to report at once “the name of the employes selected for separation from the service.” Separation from the service is a delicate way of announcing to the victims that their heads are about to be cut off.

The superloyal idiot who introduced the bill in congress making it a misdemeanor to print a picture of the United States flag on the ground that it is sacrilegious should lie in formed that the people of this country are the government, and that they are not to be com pelled to uncover to any Gessler's cap. The United States flag is entitled to reverence only as it represents the idea of the inherent right to liberty. A Tariff Definition. From the Philadelphia Times (Bid.). The high tariff folks claim along with high duties will go increased consumption. Of course, consumption here is synonymous with decline. What a Time They Will Have. From the Cincinnati Enquirer (Dem..). If the McKinley bill should become a law the Republican party will have tied a tin can to its tail. A Wise Precaution. From the Boston Herald (Lnd.). Census takers will do well to provide them selves with heavy padding in the seats of then pantaloons. A Terror to France. From the Louisville Courier-Journal (Dem.). It was plain that an apology would come from France for the beating of a Georgian by- a Pa risian policeman. Frenchmen have all heard of the Georgia militia.

Where He Left tne Baby. “Charles, have you seen anything of the baby?” asked a distracted woman about noon last Thursday, according to a wild-eyed Buffalo C’c wrier reporter. “No. How'n thunder can I take care of a baby and see that this erockerv is put on the wagon without being smashed to flinders:’ ’ “But I’m 6ure I hear the darling crying somewhere. Are you sure she is not in the clothes basket with the preserves?" “No, she ain’t. How d'you s'pose she’d get in there?” “But I hear her just as plain as esn be. Why. Charles Smith, I do believe she’s in this roll of caraet:’’ It was true. The baby had been left in the middle of the sitting-room floor, and the men who took up the carpet t sseu a breadth over her without observing her, rolled her up in it, and stood the carpet In the hall. The child when rescued was punctured here ana therrt with maty tacks, and its mouth was partly stuffed with carpet dust, but otherwise it was quite hearty. What My Love is Like.

Behold, and worship from afar. Praying that I yet may he Half as pure and good as she. Barley, Ga. Mrs. W. C. Parker. He Needed a “Guide. ” A small, decidedly English young man, says the Chicago Tribune, came down from his apartments in the Richelieu yesterday morning and asked to see some of the hotel officials. He was taken to Manager Davis, to whom he said: “I say, cierk, won’t you let me have a guide?” Mr. Davis tossed a directory to the guest, who is registered as “Sir Stuart Beresford, Eng land.” Sir Stuart looked through the direc tory, slammed it on the counter, and said to Mr. Davis: “Pardon me, but I did not wish to see a lot of names.” "That was ray fault,” replied Mr. Davis, “I misunderstood you; look at this.” and he handed over a book of all the railroads running out of Chicago. This did not suit the Englishman, who said, with considerable emphasis, to the man behind the counter: “I say, clerk, you are not sufficiently ac quainted with me to act as though we were old chums, you know. Kindly keep your jokes and treat me as you should. Politely 1 asked for a guide, and you throw me a lot of old books. Now, will you give mea guide, or will you not?” “Certainly, if you will tell me what kind of a guide you want,” returned Mr. Davis. "Any kind will do so long as he is alive guide. Y’ou must have them about. Chicago is like a new word to me. Never saw your place before. Cannot you get a man to walx to the postoffice and back with me. I don't feel like going over alone.” A bell boy was sent out with Sir Stuart to bring him home, and the guest was satisfied. The clerks at the hotel fear the young English man may be robbed of his accent, so a guide has been placed at his disposal. One on the Doctor. A newspaper man tells this on his physician, according to the Chicago Tribune: “I was sick and he left me some medicine. The intention ot the medicine was to relieve me of my ailment, of course. 1 took it as he directed. The next day he called and asked me if I had followed his advice. I said 1 had, and begged him for more of the same kind. I told him it was the best stuff I ever tasted, and so it was. He looked at me and inquired carefully again. I repeated what I bad said. " ‘That medicine,' he replied, ’was for the purpose of relieving you. but before it reached that period you should have been quite sick from the effects of it.' “I told him I had experienced no sensation such as he referred to. He scratched his head and then remarked that he was almost ready to admit that he had made some mistake or Chat the prescriptionist had. I had taken all the medicine, so that there was nothing for him to analyze. He took the bottle, however, and went to the drug store where the contents had been compounded. In an hour he came back and said it was the prescriptionist’s mistake. “ ‘However,’ he went on to say, ’I don’t under stand it, even with this admitted mistake; for the medicine which he sent you and which you took was put up for a sick horse, and the clerk got. my label on the bottle.' “That was the way the doctor got out of it. But I got even with him by telling him that I didn’t propose to pay him a man’s fee for being doctored like a horse. He said he would like to know how his medicine affected the horse, and he went out to see if he could ascertain. I haven’t seen him since.” Nothing Extraordinary About That. Some ten or twelve years ago an incident happened at Gibraltar which illustrates the practical views of a certain class of people, says the New Y’ork Tribune. A subaltern named O'Donohue was the officer of the guard at the Elphinstone Guard. At this point of the world-known rock there is a sheer drop of over 1,000 feet. A lieutenant who had taken too much champacne at a mess dinner walked over the rock and undoubtedly was dead before he reached the rocks far below. When the officer of the guard upon being relieved made out his report of his guard he made no mention of the fact. Indeed, when he came to fill in his report and reached the question, “Has any tiling extraordinary happened while you were officer of the guard?" he wrote in the blank space re served tor the answer, “Nothing.” Of course, he was summoned before Lord Napier of Magdala, the governor of Gibraltar.

John. "Sophia, iu ber ecstatic delight evidently un derstood the query in a different sense from that which the ordinary reader of the epistle would, and with joy and exultation depicted in every lineament of ber countenance, she pro ceeded to the telegrapher’s sanctum, and left the following to be forwarded to the flower of her affections; “John: Yes. How about next Christmas? Sophia. “This gave the thing dead away and John was much chagrined when he received it.
