An ap; ropriate design for Speaker Reed’s coat of arms would be the figure of a burly giant rampant, triumphantly swinging a club, and a helpless majority couchant, surmounted by the motto, "One for All.” “A war artist ought to be able to draw a pension,” jocosely remarks Texas Siftings. No, this is where his talent fails. The drawing of pensions is an art confined ex clusively to the pension grabbers and sur plus plunderers. Apropos of the recent arrest cf smugglers in New York is a letter just published from Secretary Windom to Collector of the Port Erhardt of New York complimenting him on the increased duties collected from pas sengers arriviug on ocean steamers. The inspectors are unusually strict in their ex amination of passengers’ baggage this year. “Ten dollars and two pints of whisky ap pear to be the price of a vote in Indiana,” says the Louisville Courier-Journal, and it asks: “What does an American citizen get for his ballot in the prosperous district represented by Speaker Reed?” All the way from $5 to $26, and the privilege of voting for the greatest bulldozer in Ameri can politics. A scientist has discovered that the lava which covered an ancient Etruscan city near Herculaneum and Pompeii 1,800 years ago is still warm underneath the crust, and a Jersey prophet has discovered from an early Hackensack mosquito’s wishbone that we are to have a summer colder than the memorable one of 1812. The above discoveries are calculated to cause one to lose all resnect for Ananias. Georgia is getting a great deal of free ad vertising these days from the leading papers of the country. They are commenting on the letter written by Gov. Gordon to the alliance, on the controversy between Editor Brown and C'oL Northen and on Col. Liv ingston’s campaign for congress. It is a good thing to have men in a commonwealth who know how to write letters and say something that attracts attention. The typographical union, in session at Atlanta, resolved “that national honesty de mands an international copyright bill,” and “that public policy demands the passage of a law that will protect alike the rights of the author and the interests of the pub lisher, as well as the interests of a large class of American merchants engaged in the manufacture of books.” The foregoing is suggested as an appropriate text for Mr. Wanamaker’s Sunday school lesson next Sunday. Gov. Hill of New York is very sparing of ink when it comes to signing bills. Of the 370 measures left by the legislature for his official approval only thirty-five received his signature. The cable railway job, which would have given seventy miles of New York city’s streets to an irresponsible cor poration, the aqueduct steal and the Black well’s Island bridge scheme were vetoed. The governor thinks he is entitled to a vaca tion now. He will attend the Hendricks celebration in Indiana, and may continue his trip to the Pacific coast to see the rights, and incidentally to feel how the public pulse l- eats lor David B. Hill for President in 1892. A Comoromlse Bill. Neither the Lodge nor the Rowell bill met the approval of the caucus of the re publican members of the House on Tuesday night. There were features of both bills, however, that were satisfactory, and, under the leadership of Speaker Reed, the caucus directed Messrs. Rowell aud Ledge to frame anew bill out of the acceptable parts of the two bills. When the new bill is ready it will be sub mitted to the caucus again, and if it is sat isfactory it will be pushed through tho House by a strict party vote, just as the tariff and silver bills were. Little or no time will be granted for the discussion of it. If a quorum isn’t present without the dem ocrats, and the democrats refuse to vote, the speaker will count a quorum. In this hasty and arbitrary way it is purposed to put through the House a measure of the greatest importance to the south —a meas ure which, although it applies to the whole country, is intended to be operative only in tiie south. It is understood that the compromise bill will be an enlargement of the supervisory system. Returning boards composed of supervisors will have the power to say who are elected, and as a majority of each returning board will lie republicans a fair return of the votes cast will be out of the question. It is safe to predict that in each congressional district in the south in which there is a large black population a repub lican will i be returned as elected, whether he gets a majority of the votes cast or not. The returning boards will find ways for overcoming the demo cratic majority. They did so when they were in existence in the southern states during the carpet-bag period, and recently in Montana a returning board cheated the democrats out of two senators. lieturning boards, such as the republicans purpose to establish, being partisan in char acter and organized to keep a party in power, are powerful instruments for evil. By means of them the people are robbed of their rights and minorities are given the power which belongs to majorities. If the feileral election bill which the re publicans are now preparing becomes a law it will be about impossible to wrest the control of the government from the Repub lican party. That party will have almost absolute control of the elections, and by means of the returning boards will elect the President and a majority of the House of Representatives. The returns in the south will he held back under one pretext and another until the republican managers know how many more electors they need to control the electoral college, or now many members they require to give them a majority tu the House, and the returning boards will fur nish the necessary number. It is evident ttiat the proposed election bill is full of danger to the peace of the country. The people will not quietly sub mit to being robbed of their rights. They elected Mr. Tilden President in 1876, but the returning boards in tho south made it pos sible for Mr. Hayes to become President. Another outrage like that would not be so easily settled as that one was. Florida’s Democratic Convention. The democrats of Florida don’t want a long campaign They prefer a short aud sharp one. Their state committee, therefore, has fixed upon Aug. 13 as the date for the state convention. There are only two state officers to be nominated viz., a supreme court justice and a controller. The convention is to meet in Ocala, a town that could accommodate two state conventions at the same time if it should be necessary to do so. No doubt the state con vention will be largely attended, notwith standing the fact that no candidate for governor is to be nominated, be cause it seems to be pretty well understood that the republicans are going to make an effort to carry the state. Of course the republicans cannot carry the south. At the last general election they were beaten by a majority of 13,000. The state convention, however, should be care ful to nominate a strong ticket. There are plenty of able and popular men in the dem ocratic ranks in Florida. Let the conven tion see to it that two of the ablest of them are nominated for supreme court justice and controller. It looks as if there were going to be a very Interesting contest in Florida within the democratic ranks for nominations to the legislature. The next legislature elects a United States senator, and it is understood that there are several candidates. Of course Senator Call is a candidate for re-election. He has a great many friends. It is by no means certain yet, however, that he has enough to elect him. There will be some hard and skillful work done before ail the candidates for the legislature are nominated. The republicans have no chance to carry the legislatuqj. but they hope to elect one of the congressman. They lack organization, however, and if the democrats do their duty both congressmen will be democrats. President Harrison will have the appoint ment of nine general appraisers provided for by the customs administrative bill, which will be a law in a few days. The positions pays $7,000 a year each, and so severe are the qualifications that they are practically life positions. There is a strong demand for the places, but there is not the overwhelming rush of which so much has been said. The recommenda tions of the conference committee to the President, that he appoint no man whom he would not appoint to a judgeship, has very naturally convinced the average office-seeker of the entire uselessness of applying for such a place, Five of the nine general appraisers are to be republicans, the remainder democrats. Among the applicants is Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Tichenor, Mr. Hepburn, solicitor of the treasury; ex- Appraiser Hain of Chicago, and General Appraiser Kitfield of Boston. The most prominent democratic candidates are ex- Gov. Thompson, now a civil service com missioner, and Isaac H. Maynard, both of whom were assistant secretaries of the treasury under Mr. Cleveland. The Reformed Presbyterians at their session in New York complimented“ Honest” John Wanamaker on the absence of all kinds of intoxicating liquors at his dinners, and his conduct in this respect was con trasted with that of President Harrison and Vice President Morton. The President’s table, it is declared, is weighted with liquors on state occasions, and “the Vice President goes to a greater excess, and, besides this, derives a profit from the sale of liquors in the property which he owns or controls.” The President and Vice President can derive consolation from the fact that the Reformed Presbyterians take no part in politics ard never vote at national elections. THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, JUNE 12, 1890. The Fate of a Bank Wrecker. George IL Pell, of New York city, was sentenced to seven and a half years in tho penitentiary on Monday, having been con victed of stealing from the Len ix Hill Bank I railroad bonds of the value of $31,006 Pell was a well-known Wall street broker, and he and ‘two other men, who will soon be tried on the charge of bank wrecking, got possession of the Sixth Avenue National Bank of New York city, and also two other banks, one of which was the Lenox Hill Bank. The offense of which Pell was convicted was committed only a few weeks ago. His prompt trial, conviction and sentence ought to have the effect of deterring other Wall street men from engaging in questionable financial transactions. Some of the thiDgs done in that street which are classed as “sharp” and “smart” are not very far from being criminal, if they are not actually so. If they were done by some friendless and penniless wretch, there would then be no hesitation in calling them by their right names, but being done by men who pass as gentlemen, and who have the reputation of being financiers, they are permitted to pass unnoticed. This man Pell had no good reason for stealing. He was not suffering for food or clothes. He simply wanted to increase his wealth. He took part in the wrecking of a number of banks because he liked to take desperate chances in making money, and he thought he saw an opportunity to make a big sunn of money within a very short time. There are a good many men in Wall street, if accounts of the doings of that street are true, who want to be millionaires right away. They crave the distinction of being rich. The most of them have about as much money as they can spend upon them selves and their families. They want to pile up immense fortunes. Pell was known by his friends to have a weak moral nature, and they took care to have as little to do with him as possible. They were afraid he would get them into trouble. Unless he gets a pardon the chances are that he will not'get mixed up in any other doubtful money-making scheme when he gets out of prison. An expe: ience of seven and a half years in a striped suit will be sufficient, doubtless, to convince him that it is a Auch wiser policy to do an honest business. Criminals of the class to which Pell be longs ought to be shown no consideration. They ought to be examples of respect for and obedience to the law. Having had the benefit of education and of association with those who exert the best moral influences, there is no excuse whatever for their failure to resist temptation. Bismarck’s Varying Moods. It is evident that there is no truth in a great deal of the stuff that has been sent to this country bv special correspondents about Bismarck. They have aimed to write some thing sensational rather than the tiutb. In fact, they have not been able to find out just what the truth is. It is now known that the Emperor William never sent word to Bismarck that he would be dealt with severely if he did not stop talking to newsDaper correspondents. What the emperor did do was this: He directed Caprivl, the chancellor, to say to Germany’s representa tives abroad that they should announce to the governments, to which they were accredited, if the occasion for doing so should arise, that Bismarck’s utterances were only those of a private citizen, and that no special significance should be given to them. It is doubtful if the emperor cares how much Bismarck talks, or what he says. He has sympathy and respect for him, and is willing to allow him a great deal of latitude in the expression of his opinions and in the airing of his grievances. He looks upon him as a man who has rendered Germany a great service, but who is now out of har mony with the existing condition of affairs. He had to send him into retirement because he had become an obstacle to Germany’s progress. Of course Bismarck growls, and makes threats, and says many foolish things. He cannot understand how the government runs along so smoothly without him. He would like to see a little trouble, perhaps, that he might have the satisfaction of say ing, “I told you so.” There isn’t going to be any trouble, however, that wouldn’t have occurred had Bismarck remained at the head of affairs, and the probability is that there will be a great deal less trouble than if he had not been retired. Bismarck will never be recalled. There is no proba bility of any such thing. His day is over, and Germany dees not regret, apparently, that it is. Improvements for safety in ocean and railroad travel have been made a science, aud there is not the slightest doubt that per fection has been almost reached in appli ances and devices to attain speed and the protection of life and property. In his de cision awarding salvage to the British steam er Aldersgate and the American steamer Ohio for their services in towing the Inman Line steamer City of Paris to Queenstown after the recont accident to her machinery, Mr. Justice Butt, of the admiralty division of the high court of justice of England, called particular attention to these facts. Said the learned judge: “Some consolation is, however, derived from the event, viz: It has been clearly demonstrated that the accident, which would have inevitably sent an ordinary steamer to the bottom with probably all aboard, was not in the case of the City of Paris attended by any such lamentable results.” The court evidently became convinced that tho modern appliances employed in the construction of such vessels as the City of Paris are not without a very direct and important effect uptm the safety of passen gers, from the fact that the vessel lived through a period of nearly five days, which elapsed between the time of the accident and the time she was towed into port. It is astonishing that the conservative re publicans in congress should permit them selves to be bulldozed into supporting a federal election bill and the bill to override the decision ia the “original package case.” The former should he entitled an act to provide returning boards and unlimited deputy marshals, and the latter, as Senator Voorhees aptly put it, “a bill to overrule the decision of the supreme court of tho United States in its interpretation and con struction of the constitution on the subject of commerce between tne several states, and thereby to relieve the state of lowa from the consequences of her own mis guided legislation.” It is now said that the confederate gray uniform was borrowed from the First Vir ginia regiment, which borrowed it from the Seventh New York regiment. No mat ter wbeie it was borrowed from, it was worn by brave men and with honor. PERSONAL. WniN Mrs Langtry closes her season at the St. James theater m London, at the end of two weens, she will sail at once for America for rest and recreation. Miss Belle Smith, recently appointed resi dent physician at the women s prison In Sher boru. Mass., is but 23 years old. She has been practicing medicine two years. Miss Charme Brown, a .Cincinnati belle, can converse with fluency in French, Italian. Span ish and German. She also knows Latin and Greek and is a clever amateur actress. Mlle. Seodorovna, who escaped from Sibe ria. reached Paris Saturday. She has had many hairbreadth escapes from pursuers, and was once recaptured. She is now a consump tive. Thomas H. Tongue is one of the leading stump orators of Washington. Mr. Tongue is said to be eloquent, effective and humorous, and in the recent campiaign he has lieen wagging all over the state. Charles Dudley ‘Warner says that the dif ference between the ‘faith cure” and the “mind cure” is that “the mind cure doesrft re quire any faith and the faith cure doesn't re quire any mind.” > A. L. Hayman, who recently arrived in New York, has made a contract with Bronson Howard for anew p ay, to be ready! about the middle of the season after next. There is no stipulation of the character of the piece. The news comes from Teheran that the shah has affianced to his youngest daughter the little page who was his constant companion during his recent European trip, and the nature of whose relations to his master was something of a mystery. The Figaro hints the extracts from Talley rand's memoirs leaked out through a faithless secretary, and announces that the publication of the memoirs had already been arranged for with Calmann Levy, the work to appear at the end of the year. Mrs. Fannie Jennings McPherson, widow of Col. John McPherson, died in Frederick, Md., Friday, aged 91 years. During the administra tion of President John Quincy Adams, who mar ried her cousin, Mrs. McPherson was one of the belies of the white house. Sheikh Abdulla Mustapha, Queen Victoria's Mohammedan cook, has been to Bombay for the benefit of his health. The queen was so solicitous regarding his treatment during the voyage that it is suggested the dussy cook has supplanted John Browfi in her esteem. Stumm is the iron king of Germany. He owns enormous foundries at Neuukirchen, w here over 9,000 men are employed. None of his workmen may get married, change their place of residence or join a society w ithout his permission.

Signs of the Times. From the New Haven Register (Dcm.\ It is not our purpose at this time to point out the reasons why Mr. Cleveland remains, al though iu private life, the most popular demo crat in the country. It is sufficient to point out the fact. It is enough to indicate th-< prevailing sentiment in the party. If the democrats were called upon to nominate a standard-bearer this month, there is not a shadow of doubt that Mr. Cleveland would be nominated without opposi tion. There would seem to be no reason, more over, to anticipate a change of sentiment be tween now and the time of the convention in 1892. _ Prejudice and ignorance have given way to Simmons Liter Regulator. It has stood (he test.— Adv. The Modern Sculptor. From the Baltimore American^ Chisel in hand stood a paving boss With a granite block before him.

But tne bosses of this practical land Can easily do without them. I might c irvein this stone a blind girl's moan. I might outline an angel's pity; But my stout old heart caret b naught for art, I prefer to carve the city!” Ho Caved. About 10 o’clock the other night a watchman at the foot of Griswold street saw a man acting so queerly that he approached and demanded what he was doing there, says the Detroit Free Press. “Going to jump into the river,” was the reply. “When?” “Right off.” “Not here?” “Yes, right here.” “What for?” “Nothing to live for.” “See here," said the watchman, as the man peeled off his coat, “I wish you'd do me a favor. I never hit a man a good stout punch in my life. If you are bound to go in I wish you would stand with your heels to the edge of the wharf and let me swing my right on your n>se.'' “Not if I know myself I won't!” “But why? You might as well be found drowned with a broken nose as a whole one.” “I allow no one to punch my nose if I can help it.” “Well, you are a mighty particular man.” “And you are a migoty mean one S” “Don’t sass me!” “And don't vou rub against me!” And after holding himself ready for a row for a couple of minutes the stranger put on his coat and sauntered off, saviug that the man who touched his nose had better tackle a six-foot buzz-saw. Got a Job at Last. He was dusty and tired-looking when he en tered the Central station last night in search of a lodging. His clothing was soiled and torn, and it would be base flattery to say he had a disreputable appearance. He bowed humbly, and yet with an air of dignity, to Inspector Mc- Aleese as he made known his errand, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. When questioned as to his profession, the stranger told a tale which shows how difficult it Is for some classes of labor to obtain steady and remunerative employment. He said: “Gentleman, I have been playing in very hard luck for over nine years, and I have been unab e to obtain an engagement, although I am a specialist in my line " “Well, what is your line?” asked the inspec tor. “I have traveled all over the United States during the past decade,” continued the stranger, without noticing the interruption, and although I have received flattering oilers, but always, alas, in the future tense, I have failed to get employment.” "VVhat is your profession?" again demanded the inspector, while a dozen more police officials crowded around to hear the answer. “A few days ago,” calmly proceeded the stranger, “the clouds of night began to break, and 1 saw the dawning of a glorious day. In two days, gentleman, I return to work at my chosen profession, and all my trouble will be over.” “But what is your profession?” excitedly chorused the anxious audience. "I am a census enumerator, gentleman.” Emmett.ln a Particular Mood. Joseph K. Emmett was at one of the fifty little tables in the cafe of the Delmonieo estab lishment, aud he was convivially full of cham pagne. says the Utica Observer. A monkey dude had sat down at the adjoining table aud had said to the waiter: “Give me half a broiled chicken, and bs sure to mention my name.” An instant latsr another dude had seated him self at the next table on the other side of Emmett and had given his order ia these words: ''Bring me some roast ciams, and meution my name.” The reiteration of the phrase, “mention my name.” struck the humorous appreciation of the comedian. That was his first knowledge of the newest kink of about-town uonsenße, which is to assume that not only the Delmonieo waiters know your name, but that the mentiou of it to a cook in the kitchen is quite sufficient to produce a viand particularly well done, and perhaps done in the manner peculiar to the taste of the individual. Whether the waiter ever actually delivers the name along with the order is a question which I have not inve li gated, but probably he doesn't. He is a discreet servitor, however, and his gravity is proof against this test. He assumes an air of being mightily impressed. So was Emmett, and with the delicious mimicry of the two dudes' drawl, he said to his waiter in a voice loud enough to be heard throughout the big apartment: •‘You bring me twelve clams on the half shell, and mention my name for every clam.” Broke the Bell. In the days of the chestnut bell a lot of us were waiting at Trenton for the Long Branch train, and one of the men began telling about his experience on a wrecked vessel in mid- Atlantic, savs the New York Sun. Near by, on a passenger's trunk, sat a pale-faced, weary eyed young man of twenty summers, who w s going down to the branch with his ma. He wore a chestnut bell, and this was perhaps the first time he had had a chance to ring it. The gentleman was proceeding with his story when ting-a-ling went the bell. He stopped and looked around, and then continued, but after half a minute the young man belled him up again. The man looked annoyed, but went on. and during tho quarter of an hour he was talk ing that bell rang about fifteen times. When he had finished he looked over to the weary young man and asked: “What is that bell for?” “Chestnuts,” was the reply. “How do you mean?” “Why, you know, when you hear anything old you—ling-a ling on the bell.” “O, you do. I guess I’ll try it once.” He got up, shook the young man out of his coat and collar at the first shake, and then whirled him around, ended him up, and gave him a toss over a heaD of baggage. The bell boy got up covered with dust and a wreck, the bell broken by the Bbock, and his collar hanging by one end, and as he disappeared into tne ladies’ room we heard his mother exclaim: “Why, dardng, didn’t I warn you to look out for the locomotive?" And the man who had told the story added: “ Best to take such cases at the start and ad minister strong medicine. He might have rung that bell on somebody who'd have got mad and damaged him beyond repair.” Popular Mr. Harrison. Ex-Gov. William PHt Kellogg is back from Louisiana, by way of Chicago, with an apt story illustrating Mr. Harrison's popularity among the colored people of the south. This is the way he tells it, says the New York Star: I was sitting in my room at the St. Charles hotel, in New Orleans, when old Dr. Lyons, who has charge of the largest colored church in Car rollton, came in with a subscription book for his church. I asked him how much he thought I ought to give; I gave it, and then said: “Elder, what do your people think about the administration?” “Well, governor,” he said, “I will just tell you. “You remember Mr. Scott, don’t you, who keeps a stationery and general store on Gravier street, and who used to be something of a re publican. Well, I went to him for a sub scription. He told me times were hard and money was scarce, ‘but,’ said he, ‘l'll tell you what I can do. 1 have got a lot of fine steei'en gravings of President Harrison, whieh I will give you if you like to take them. They cost me 12)< cents apiece; you can sell them for what you like and give tho money to the church.” ‘ To make the story short,” continued Kellogg, “the elder jumped at the offer. Scott counted him out a hundred prints and he lugged them home under his arm. A few days afterward there was a church fair and a big meeting. Dr. Lyons announced to the brethren and sisters that he had been presented by Mr. Scott with a lot of fine steel-plate engravings of Mr. Harri son, which he would sell for the benefit of the church at 10 cents each, and those who could not afford to pa> 10 cents could have them for a nickel. Up then rose au old deacon and said: “ ‘Do I unuerstanil the pastor to say these are portraits of President Benjamin Harrison ?' "‘Yes,’ said Elder Lyons. “ ‘Then,’ said the deacon, ‘speaking for myself, I don't want none of him.' And all over the church arose a chorus, ‘We ain't got no use for him!” “To tell the truth, governor," Elder Lyons said. "I only got rid of three of those pictures, and those I gave away.” “What did you do with the other ninety seven?’’ “I had a room which had just been plastered and wanted papering, and I turned them face to to the wall and papered the room with them as far as they would go.” Ayer's Sarsaparilla requires smaller doses, and is more effective, than other blood medicines.— Adv.

Next, dropping the nickel in the slot as directed by the sign, he drew out a cigar. Seeing that nothing was stated in the directions as to how many times one nickel could be dropped in. he drew his nickel out and dropped it in again. Succeeding the second time, he continued to drop and continued to draw until he had emptied the box.
