Tbe publication of anew serial will be
begun in tbe Morning News on Sunday,
July IS and tte Weekly News July 19.
The title of it is “A Hidden Fc”
and tbe author of it is tbe cele
brated Eng!Jh writer of fiction, G. A.
Henty. The narration of tbe story is
brisk and lively, tbe plot strong, the situa
tions powerful, tbe characters interesting
and tbe effects dramatic. “A Hidden Foe”
is a romsniic work of fiction, tbe perusal of
which will excite tbe liveliest feelings of
curiosity. Tbe opening scenes are in Eng
land, tbe family introduced having strongly
marked charactensts. A sudden tragedy
causes considerable change in the prospects
of certain individuals. Mysterious circum
atances are discovered in connection with
the family history, and an eager search is
instituted to trace these matters to their
source. Unknown to each other several of
tbe characters embark for Australia in the
eame ship. Perils and adventures abound,
the author displaying intimate knowledge
of the sea. The vessel founders in the
Pacific, a small party of survivors being
cast away on a lonely island. Every
chapter contains its quota of incident, every
installment an effective scene. Throughout
tbe story the element of love and romance
receives prominence, and “a happy ending”
brings a clever work to a conclusion.
A delegation of cotton manufacturers
■went to Washington to protest against a
reduction of the tariff on cotton goods.
They were told that the Senate, instead of
reducing the tariff, had advanced it 5 per
cent., “and they went away happy,” a dis
patch says. If they should now increase
tbe wages of their employes 5 per cent,
there would be joy all around in manufact
uring circles.
Over $2,000,000,030 in coin aud paper, or
over S3O each for every person in the laud,
is in circulation at present. More than one
tbird of it, in gold and silver, is in the vaults
of the treasury at Washington. Of the
total coin in circu'ation about two-thirds is
gold and one-third silver, of tbe paper
about one-third greenbacks, one-fourth sil
ver certificates, one-sixth gold certificates,
one-fiiftb in the notes of the national
banks, and the remainder in various other
forms. There is more g .Id in circulation
than any kind of paper money, but only
one-fourth as much gold as there is of all
kinds of paper together. Of the paper in
circulation the greenback leads, silver cer
tificates and national bank notes come next,
and gold certificates last. The money of
tbe country is an immense sum, yet it is not
more than the combined wealth of 200 of
the richest men of the country.
Nothing short of a declaration of war
against England will appease those editors
who are mad because the stars and stripes
raised in honor of the Fourth of July over
the residence of an enthusiastic admirer of
this republic at Hamilton, Ont., was fired
upon and riddled with bullets. The incident
will net lead to national complications,
however. No one has a right to
hoist the flag of a foreign nation
in any country. Even the floating
of the flag of this country over a consulate
in a foreign country is a matter of treaty
stipulation, and in many instances the hours
during which it can lie flown are specifically
fixed. If tbe act of a private citizen who
displayed tbe stars and stripes was ob
jectionable to the ( anadians they had a
right to resent it. According to the law of
laiions tbe firing on the flag was not an
nsult—nothing more than a vulgar display
tf feeling by the Canucks. Tbe fighting
tditors will, therefore, not get. an oppor
unity to twist the British lion’s tail.

Senator Blacky urn sa. i that in tj tpih
ion the people do not yet fully ur.ders'ar i
tbe otaracter of tbe elect ob. 31. and that
when they do they wiUp-r t v.g ronsiy
against it. Aireidy ag od many protest*
against it have beeu fi.ei. ant as the dis
cussion cf the bill goes oa in tte press an and
in congress, the auenber of tbe pr : tests will ■
be grea'ly lncreEssj.
According to Senator Blackburn's view
it will not te necessary to talk 'he bill to
death in tte Senate Tbe repeihliyan *na
tors will see if they do net already, that it i
is a danger us and revolutionary rr>a.*ure. I
wholly at variance w;th our form f !
government, and will quietly abandon
it Frcm what t§adm la interview, it
appears that he does Dot believe that the
bill ould have passed in the House had it '
not been for tte extraordinary influence
wh.ch Spoak*r Reed exerts over the ma
jority of that body. He whipped the i
southern and some of the northern republi
cans into line by t * ’.hrext* and promise*.
He was determined to pass the bill in the
Hou** at any <*:. and he bad his way.
Senator Blackburn may hie placing too
much depe der.ee upon the good sense and
conservatism of the republican senator*.
They seated the republican senators from
Montana, although it was clear that tho*~
senators were not elected. If they c- uid
commit such a flagrant wrong as that, it is
a question whether they will not do a
greater wrong. On questions which involve
toe supremacy of their party they do not
seem to have any re*|>ect for justice and
law.
There is no doubt that Senator Chandler j
and those other republican senators who
never miss an opportunity to misrepresent
and oppress tbe south will spare no effort to
have the rules of the Senate changed. If
they snould succeed there would ie very
little use in opposing the bill. Its passage
cjuld not be prevented. The republicans
haw the majority, and if debate and dila
tory motions were cut off there would b -
to way of obstructing it.
Tbe action of the Senate committee on
rjiee will le waited for with a great deal cf
interest. Tbe rules will not be cr.angoi un
less the republicans make up their mi .ds to
pass the bill. It is sincerely to be hoped
that Senator Blackburn is right and that
the bill will never get beyond its pres.-nt
position.
South America's Money Crisis.
The issue of bank notes to the amount of
$100,000,000 in the Argentine Republic, and
$12,500,000 in Uruguay will bring at le ist
temporary, if not permanent, relief to the
perilous financial situation is those coun
tries. It is the intention of the Argentine
Republic to redeem and burn annuallv 10
fr cent, of the prop osed issue of notes, and
Uruguay will guarantee the payment of
its notes in gold. To do rhis the
two governments will have before
them a work which will tax to the uim st
the beet financial ability available. The
trouble in Uruguay was no doubt caused by
the threatened collapse of the Argentine
money market, which brought on a financial
stringency, but the prompt action of the
government of Uraguay avertel a panic.
As our dispatches indicate, the danger ti ere
is past, and ‘‘absolute confidence prevails in
monetary circles.”
Careless economy and bad management
of governmental affairs are the cause of
the Argentine crisis. The extent to which
the republic has incurred foreign obliga
tions, both by direct loans and by guaran
tees for railroads and public works, caused
the difficulties with which it has to
cope. The Argentine exterior loans amount
to $131,199,050, entailing annual payments
of interest and amortization of $8,162,175.
There are other obligations to he met, in
cluding the interest on tbe floating debt,
amounting in all to over $14,503,000, which
may be reduced during the year by repay
ments from the railroads on guarantee ac
counts to $11,503,000.
The Argentine minister of finance, how
ever, enjoys the confidence of the leading
London houses, which have invested over
$ 1-50,000,000 in the loans of the republic,
aud they have signified their w illinguess to
render assistance to tide over any mome- I
tary difficulty, and this is one of the chief j
reasons for regarding tho out- I
look as more hopeful. Besides !
this, the country has great resources, which, I
if developed, justify the prediction of a
wonderful expansion of the productive
wealth of the republic.
It now turns out that Speaker Reed’s or
der forbidding the sale of intoxicating
liquori in tho House restaurant was nothing
more than a shrewd political move on his
part. Since he secured a renomiuatiou to
congress liquor is freely served in the House
restaurant, and no effort is made to conceal
the fact. Hts prohibition order was issued
for the sole purpose of winning over to him
several delegates to the congressional con
vention of his district, who, it was sup
posed, wou.d make it interesting for him in
tue nominating convention. As usual,
Reed pulled the wool over tbe eyes of the
prohibition delegates.
A Haytian newspaper reports that our
minister to that country has asked Presi
dent Hippolyte’s advisers to sanction a con
vention or a treaty with the United Stales.
The treaty referred to is probably that by
which the United States hopes to secure the
peninsula known as La Alole St. Nicholas
for a coaling station, which would lie of in
calculable advantage in case of war w ith
England or Spain. Hippolyte was assisted
to the presidency by United States Minister
Thompson, who, acting under instructions
from Mr. Bayard, secured a promise from
him to cede I,a Mole St. Nicholas to the
United States. .
Late advices from San Salvador confirm
the prediction made by the Morning News
last week that a revolution bad broken out
there. The people are dissatisfied with the
provisional government under the dictator
ship of Gen. Kzeta, wh > is trying to re
establish Zaldivar, tbe exiled president, in
tbe presidency. Zaldivar is now on his way
to San Salvador. His presence there at
this time means a prolonged struggle for
power between his forces and his opponents,
which can only bs settled by bloodshed.
THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY. JULY 11. I*9o.

slate, it is tsatu-a! that Mr. Flame should
not feel verv k.udly toward tbe man w o
e supplant.Lg hm m the affections of tbeir
party
•"hi Wefrcsday, ae-ortlmg t* our dis
patches * rat-nay. Mr. Reel ordered Mr
Plain-*', son, James G. Bame, Jr., off tbe
ff -v cf the House I: seems that y*Lng
F-a> ha* been taking advantage of his
p*cs.t*oo a* clerk of tbe committee on for
eign affair* to spaed moat of his tune
on the fl'or of the House when
tbe Hc-use was in session. Of cturse be
had no right t_ere. and Mr. Revd decid-d
that he shoul i not violate the rules of the
H use even though he was tbe son of the
Secretary of Sta'e. It is also not improb
able that Mr. Reed ordered the sergeant
at-arms to remove young Blame not so
muen because te desired to maintain the
integrity of the rules as to show tbe House
tuat he asked no favor* of James G. Blaine.
In the last number of the ,\or*h Amrri
'-an h'erieir there is an article signed "An
ex-M. C.“ It is entitled "Speaker Reed's
Error. ' and is exceedingly well written.
It show* a very thorough acquaintance with
tfc'* rules and precedents of the House, and
it -deal* starpiy with Mr. Red Toe autbor
smp of the article is attributed to Mr.
Blame. It u not t ought that any other
ex-member of congress coul 1 have written
it. The appearance of this article and the
r imago* young Blaine from the floor of
tbe Housi are understood to mean that the
feeling between Mr. Blaine and Mr. Reed is
rather bitter, and that they will soon be
recognized enemies, if, indeed, they are not
already so.
The country has no cause to regret the
coolneis between Maine's two leading states
men. Tbe south at least will be benefited
by their pulling against each other. If
they shoul 1 pu l together they would be
able to do a great deal of harm. Mr. Reed
is after the presidency and be hopes to get
it by pursuing an extremely radical cou se
toward the south. He has no particular
feeling against the south, proudly, but he
would willingly help to ruin the south, if,
by so doing, he could gratify his ambition.
It is probable that Mr. Blaine has no love
for toe south, but he does not approve Mr.
Reed's course t >ward the south. He can be
dep-i-.ded upon, therefore, to oppose M-.
Reed's programme, an i in trying to defeat
Mr. R-ed’s ambition he may render the
south g icd service. The south, therefore,
is perfectly willing that Mr. Blaine shall
attack Mr. Reed in the Worth American
ftecieic as often as he see* ti: ti do so, and
that Mr. Reed may take Jimmy Blai le, Jr.,
by the ear and lead him off tne ft oor of tbe
House as many times as he pleases.
The South Carolina '.amtoaigra.
It is remarkable that there have been no
teri us collisions between tbe Tiliniariites
and the regular democracy in the
campaign that has been in progress in South
Carolina for several montn*. At some of
the joint debates the excitement has been
very great and language bos been used
w bieb, under ordinary circumstances.wouid
have led to bloodshed.
The campaign has lost none of its bitter
ness, however, and it may be that there
will b 6 serious trouble yet before it is over.
Up to the present time Tillman has had
everything pretty much his own way.
There are indications, however, of a falling
off in the enthusiasm for him. The im
p: esnion is gaining ground that he is not so
much interested in promoting the welfare
of tbe farmers as he is in getting the office
of governor.
The vigorous fight he is making would
excite admiration if there were not a lack
< f confidence in his sincerity. He pretends
that the state government has been cor
ruptly and extravagantly mauaged by a
ring of ariftocrat*. At the beginning of
the campaign ho made a number of specific
charges, when pressed to do so, but he was
unable to sustain them and finally with
drew them. He now deals in vague and
meaningless assertions which, when ana
lyzed, really amount to nothing.
Tbe real basis of Tillman’s strength is the
clasi feeling which he has succeeded in
arousing. He is a very shrewd man a-,d
understands how strong this feeling is. The
farmers and the poor people have had the
thought impressed upon them that they are
not quite the equal of those who have been
managing the affairs of the state, and it
has aroused in them a feeling hostile to pro
fessional men, merchants and rich men and
driven them to the support of Tillman.
Asa matter of fact it is doubtful if there
has been either mismanagement or extrava
gance in the administration of tbe state
government. Whatever has been done by
the state legislature has had the sanction of
tbe representatives of the farmers. Indeed,
tbe farmers buve had m iro, perhaps, to do
with making the laws of tbe state than any
oi her class.
It is the class feeling that is helping Till
man and nothing else. He may be a good
democrat, but tbe means be is employing to
reach tbe office of governor are nut those
employed by democrats elsewhere.
At the next presidential election six new
states, now that Wyoming and Idaho are
admitted to tho union, will be represented
iu the electoral c Uege. They will cast
nineteen votes. At the last election the
electoral vote was 401, of which
233 were cast for Harrison and 168
for Cleveland. The sure repub
lican vote was 182, and Harrison
carried the two doubtful states of New York
and Indiana, baviDg a combined vote of 51.
At tbe next election five of the new states,
it is claimed by the republican s, will go
republican. Montana they concede to tbe
democrats. The “sure republican vote”
will thus be increased to 198. The total
electoral vote will be 420. making
211 necessary to a choice, so that the re
publicans will be thirteen short of victory.
But in order to win they must carry New
York or Indiana, or one or two states
which went democratic last election. From
preseut indications the republicans will not
be able to carry all tho “sure republican
states," and Indiana and New York are no
longer considered doubtful, but democratic.
Business men are warned by the secret
service dtpartment to keep a sharp lookout

Minnesota fanners wish that binding twine
stall be cheapened by having it manufactured
in the stats prison. If they will nave it made
there by some of the politicians who make it

An Eloquent Contrast.
From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch (Dcm.).
The democrat who steals or commits elec

and swift punishment for his crime. The re
publican who commits either of these offenses
gets indorsement and rich reward for party
service. Tile contrast is eloquent.
A Game for Two.

Thebuild ngup of Chinese walls is a game

Maj. McKinley may rear his, tbe powers of Eu
rope can build still higher. This wall-building
may amuse ttv- architects, but where does it
leave tbe American farmer; If he knows his in
terests he will side with Mr. Blame.

Tho Jury Went Democratic.
There are few better story tellers in this or

L nited States Court, says the St. Louis Repub
lic. and here is one of tbe judge's good narra
fives. He was in Kentucky s<>nie years ago
when a w nite man was being tritd for murder.
There were four colored men on the jury. In
days :f three-fourths of the jury agreed
their verdict was accepted. The white inen
were all for a "Not guilty” verdict and five
otht-rs wished to convict the prisoner. Such a
state of affairs bad beeii foreseen before tbe
tr.al began. One of the colored jurymen was
made foreman, and after being compli
mented upon the importance of bis post
was told that be had no voic* in the decision to
be arrived at. Thus the jury stood eight for
acquittal and taree for conviction. When they
filed La k into tbe court room the judge pre
siding inquired if a verdict ba 1 been reached.
Tbe colored foreman, not quite satisfied with
the man er in woicb things had gone, hesitated.
"Well, said tbe judge, impatiently, "wnat’s
the verdict?"
The n-gro stiil hesitated.
“Give us your decision," demanded the jurist,
gravely.
“Well, y f r honor.' replied the colored fore

The Old Story.
From the Washington prxt.
He stops you od the corner, and he gaily spins
it o’er.
And you pause and listen, silent, though you've
heard it all he ore.
You remember every syllable, anticipate each
Dau*e,
Andean point the usual times for interruption
and applause.
*Tis to him a thing of beauty, as an everlasting
joy:
He finds the entertainment fraught with charms
that never cloy.
A tide of thiDgs forgotten at its call begins to
flow—
That good old joke—that dear old joke—that
jo;te of long ago.
You have heard it in the orchard as you lolled
beneath the trees.
Shirking algebra and Latin for the humming of
the bees.
Y # ou have heard it at the corner when, the day's
dull labors o'er,
Tbe leisure ble-jt assembled at the village gen
eral store.
Though e ; ,cii reciter altered it for fear it might
grow ta ne,
It lived in the affection staunch and faithful
still the same.
Ah, one likes to hear him tell it—take his time
and tell it slow—
That good old joke—that dear old joke—that
joke of long ago.
“*:r. Pratt, the Ear.b.”
A pleasant looking man. says the Chicago
Tribune, arrived at the Richelieu last evening
and wrote this on the big autograph boo!::
‘ I>r. Fratt, Tne Earth."
“I ll want a room.” ho said, “for I*ll be here a
day or so." After he was shown to his apart
ments a little group around the counter began
to speculate upon ihe queer man's residence
< ‘ne man said lie came from Minneapolis or St.
Paul, and the excitement over the census-taking
l.ad affected him as scarlet fever does some
children.
“Not a hit of it,” exclaimed Henry E. Divey;
"I bet a bottle of wine I can nam r his citv. "
"1 declare myself in with that,” spoke un
Manager Davis, "and I will nam -a city. He
comes from London. That Is mv guess."
“Why, this is too easy,” said Mr. Dixay: “you
have never studied the maps. This man lives iu
St. Louis, and thinking that the earth is a syn
• uym for tha r place, registere i thuily. Before
you ask him order tbe ice.”
Just then a baker living on the North Side
sent his card to Dr. Pratt, and Clerk Beiding
asKed where the doctor lived
"In New York," answered the Chicagoan.
“Well, that beats me," remarked the clerk;
“what license has he to register from The
Earth I'll just make that read ‘A tiny speck
on the earth.’ ”
"It is like this,” explained the visitor, “Dr.
Pratt is the prominent New York physician
who was eager to wager anything that the
world’s fair would be located near his village.
He did lose considerable, and every time he
comes to Chicago he feels so s re that he
registers from The Earth. 'Tis kind of a slow
way to get even, but it is his way. ”
Both wagers were lost on the guessing
match, but Mr. Dixoy said he did not care so
long as the hotel manager was not in the hunt.
He Made the teller “Come to Time.”
The autocratic paying teller of a certain Nas
sau street bank had an unpleasant experience
one day last week, says the New York Tribune-
A tall young man with whiskers trimmed as
though they had been laid out by a landscap*
gardener hurried up to the window and pie
seute i a check for
“Piease let me have it in ” he began.
“Mind your own business." snapped the red
headed autocrat within. “I'll give you what is
convenient.”
Tte tall young man followed tl is advice, took
the money handed him and started away, in a
moment he returned. “You’ve made ‘ a mis
take,” he said, mildly.
“Not responsible tor any mistakes after leav
ing the window," responded the paying teller,
sharply.
“But you ”
“We make no corrections: move on.”
“Oh, very well.” said the tall young man
cheerfully, w aving a bill at the grating, "I was
only going to tell you you had given me SSO too
much, but I can stand it if you can,” he added,
as lie turned away.
The change that came over the red headed
teller was extraordinary.
"Hey there, hold on.” he called.
“Mind your own business: 1 shall suit my
ow n convenience.”
“But wait a moment." called the teller, grow
ing more and more agitated, as he hastily un
locked the window and thrust out his head.
“Don't grow excited." responded the over
paid young man soothingly, "we never make
make corrections after leaving the window. ”
“Oh. don't miud that, come back here,”
pleaded the head from the window' beseech
ingly.
By this time the dialogue was attracting at
tention and tho tall young man stepped up to
the teller and said sharply:
"I have come to you again and again with
checks to be cashed for the firm, and you are
always grumpy, ungentle manly and disobliging.
To-day you thought you had underpaid me, and
you were going to let me suffer. Instead of
that you gave me SSO too much, and I have got
you just where I want you. If you will apolo
gize for your meanness, and agree to be pleas
ant a-id obliging hereafter, you can have tue
SSO back, but under no other condition ”
Those who listened did not hear what the pay
ing teller answere J. but his meek tone aud the
return of the fifty-doliar bill told a sufficiently
plain story.
“Why Lizzie.” said one girl to another, while
they were on their way for a short run to the

it, and sent it by mail.”— Washington Pjst.

An habitual drunkard in Sweden and Nor
way is treated as a criminal in this sense. that
his inordinate love of strong drink renders him
liable to imprisonment, and while in confine
ment it appears he is cured of his bad propen
sities, on a plan which, though simple enough
is said to produce marvoious effects. From the
day tne confirmed drunkard is incarcerated no
nourishment is served to him or her but bread
and wine. The bread, however, it should be
said, cannot be eaten apart from the wiue, but
is steeped in a bowl ot it and left thus to soak
an hour or mo: e before the meal is served to
the delinquent. The first dav the habitual
toper takes his food in this shape without the
slightest repugnance; the second day he finds it
less agreeable in his pa'ate aud very qi 1 -klv be
evinces a positive aversion to it. Generally,
the doctor states, eight or ten days of this
regimen is more than sufficient to make a man
loathe the very signt of wine.
A royal progress in Japan is still observed

clothes, or through cracks in doors, or from any
position in the upper portion of their houses, if
anybody wishes to see her majedv he or she
must sit down at the side of the road by which
her majesty w ill pass. No one must look at her
majesty without taking off his hat
neckcloth or turban, or whatever else he
may be wearing on or about his head. More
over. no one must be smoking while be
or she is looking at her majesty, nor must any
one carry a stick or cane. Only women wear
ing foreign clothes will be permitted to retain
their head-covering. Although it may rain no
person w ill be allowed to put up an umbrella
wh le her majesty may be passing. As her
majesty passes no one must raise bis voice, nor
must any sound be heard, nor must the crowd
close in and follow her carriage, for no noise
must be made. hen her majesty reaches
U media station there will be a discharge of fifty
