Lord and Lady Dunlo were the plaintiff and defendant in a very nasty divorce case a week or so ago. A cablegram say* that they have settled their differences, kissed each other and are just as hap py as a bridal couple on their wedding trip. We have received a number of commu nications from farmers asking us to advise farmers to hold on to their cotton until late in the fall, the opinion of the writer* of the communications being that if farmers will do so they will get a better price. The farmers must judge for themselves whether or not it is advisable to hold their cotton. Hobody can say at present that the price of cotton will be better in November than in September. The United States supreme court has held that in granting to congress the power to regulate commerce between the states the states parted with the right to forbid the importation of articles of commerce and their sale in importers’ packages. The congress accordingly resolves to give this power back to the states. It will be inter esting to watch the outcome of this plan of amending the constitution by act of con gress. Is the constitution to be what the congress will from time to time declare it to be? If the reports about the destruction of the wheat crop all over Europe are true our far mers will find no such difficulty this year as they have had in former years, in disposing of their produce to advantage. The supply hero has beeu greater tliau the demand, with the result tnat farmers have received scarcely living prices for their wheat. If the European output is as small as it is re ported to be, there is a light bursting from the clouds that have hung over the Ameri can farmers, and we may again see wheat selling for at least enough to pay the ex pense of producing it and a small profit be sides. The United Statei Hay Fever Associa tion will hold its annual meeting at Bethle hem, N. H., on the 2tsth of this mouth. This yearly gathering of sneezing humanity may well be called a “symphony of woe.” To I>e a member cf this unique association one must be a possessor of a well-defined attack cf the fever. Originally the main object of the association w as to devise some curs for the malady, but this is a thing of the past, end now tho brethren and s.start, simply as-emhle to exchange oiporiencet and luten to elegant descriptions of what i' igbt \ie. Bethlehem is the sole ted place simply be huso the mountain atr gives the lat ent delegates temporary re iof and *•1 w sufficient tim t b 'tween the sr.eez aed wheezes f r t.. 0 heal men to male -01 alioi u. i Aroused at Last At last the lusiness men cf the north are responding to the appeal of tbe business men of the south, end are circulating peti tions protesting against the passage of the force bill. It was the Morning News that advised tbe busitr ss mea of the south to appeal to the bu-loess mea of the north to lsy tbe;r influence against the f< rci bill, and tbe Savannah board of trade promptly acted upon the i dvice. The busice-'- men < f the s uthern cities followed tbe example of those of Sa vannah, and either in mass meetings or in their trade organizations passed reso.utions calling the ationtlon of northern business men to the fact tnat the whole country, was in'eroded in def eating the force bill, and asking them to make their voices beard against it. Petitions against the force bill are now being circulat'd among the business men of New York, and soon will bo circulated in all tue other liorihern cities. The must interesting fact connected with the circula tion of ihe petitions iu New York is the readiness with which republicans sign them. Of bo first 107 signors just about one half were republicans. This alone is suf ficient to show bey- nd all doubt that there is no sentiment anywhere in favor cf the force biil. It is well understood that the bill is nothing more than asebemeof republican politicians to retain c ntrol of tha govern ment. They do not expect that the forte bill would increase to a noticeable ex tent the number of republican repre sentatives in congress from tbe south, but they do expect that it would bring about a condition of affairs in the south that would have the effect of solidifying the north. For the purpose of gaining a parti san advantage they are willing to arouse a feeling of bitterness between the two great sections of the country, create enmity be tween the whites and blacks, disturb busi ness relations between the northern and southern people and obstruct the progress of the south. If the force bill were intended to protect any class of people in their rights it would have a strong public sentiment behind it. The people are quick to respond to a call to defend human rights, but there has been nowhere, except in tbe columns of a few of tbe republican organs, any response in favor of the force bill. The petition which the business men of New York, republicans as well as demo crats, are signing says: ‘‘The measure in question is for partisan rather than for public benefit.” These northern business men appear to understand the situation iu the south very well, for in their petition they say that tue force bill will "fan into flame the smoldering embers of the race question, which tune and education are gradually extinguishing. The property of tho south is being taxed to educate the illiterate, and with the growth of iutelligenco the race question will bo naturally and peacefully solved.” The petitions of northern business men will have great influence with the ropubli can senators. It is known that quite a large number of them have no sympathy with the force bill, and it is certain that they will not vote for it when they become fully aware how slronglv their constituents are opposed to it. They will be willing to abandon the partisan advantages which Speaker Reed and some of tho other repub lican leaders aim to secure rather than bring about a condition of affairs which would be hurtful to business and industrial interests in all parts of the country, but especially in the south. Morrow's Exclusion Act. The present Chinese exclusion act is not sweeping enough to suit Representative Morrow of California. He wants all Chi nese, except diplomatic representatives, prohibited from entering this country, and he has succeeded in getting the foreigu af affairs committee to ngree with him. The bill which that committee reported favora bly the other day, if it should become a law, would briug about retaliation. Americans would be shut out of the Chinese empire, and trade with this country would bo pro hibited. And no one could blame China for retaliating. It is true that Chinamen are not wanted in this country, but the present exclusion act affords us all tbe pro tection against them that we need. There is no reason why Chinese travelers and stu dents should be shut out. Mr. Morrow may succeoed in getting his bill through tho House, but it will not get through the Senate. That body is not likely to do anything so foolish as to briug about non-intercourse with China. A Record to be Proud Of. No one can read tbe report of the secre tary of the Johnstown flood relief commis sion without realizing how warm-hearted and generous the American people are. The call for contributions met with mag nanimous response. Every state and terri tory in the union, except the Indian territory, as the list shows, sent financial aid to tho flood sufferers. Contributions aggregating $141,300 were received from sympathetic givers iu foreign countries. The total American contribu tions were $3,601,517. The result is that to day, where there was ruin and desolation a year ago, a thriving town exists, as busy and as largely populated as ever. There wore about 2,300 lives lost in the flood; ninety-nine families were wiped out; 124 wives were left widows and niue:y-eight children lost both parents. The sworn statement of 10-s of property aggregated $9,674,105, but the commissioa estimates the loss at bet ween $6,009,000 and $7,060,000. Thus it will be see a that tbe contributions aggregated from 40 to 50 per cent, of the amount of losses. This is a record of which the American people may be proud. The money which was left over after 6,229 individuals received aid was, as is known, divided among the survivors in proportion to their losses. It was the fouu.dati on stone upon which they began rebuilding their fortune . It looks now as if Hon. Felix Corput would be speaker of the next House of the Georgia legislature. He has hud a good deal of expe rienue in public all'airs, and, besides, is au excellent business man. For several years be was mayor of Macon, and was the first president of tho farmers’ alli auce. Being a mun of pleasing manners, he has friends in every part of the state. Ho would make an able and dignified speaker, aud would discharge the duties of tbe offloe with cot scieutions fidelity uud strict impar tiality. It is pretty safe to say that he can depend upon tLe support of Southern aud Eastern Georgia. Salvador’s victory over Guatemala is a complete triumph.

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, AUGUST 10, 1890-TWELVE PAGES. ■Wanton Bobbery. During the consideration of tbe iron schedule of the McKinley tariff bill in the Senate on Friday, Senator Butler declared that the tax which the bill puts on co ten ties was wanton robbery, and it is safe to say that about everybody, except the man ufacturers of cotton ties, agrees with him. The tariff tax on cotton ties is now 36 per cent, ad val r- m. The bill ice-eases tbe tax to 3 3-10 cents per pound, or 103 per cent, ad valorem. If it ghould become a law the tax would be about thteo times as great as it is at present. It is not to be wondered at. therefore, that Senator Butler call and the i ropo-ed tax wanton robbery. Is it claimed that the manufacturers of cotton ties do not make a fair profit at present. If it is that fact has not been brought to the attention of tbe public. There is no leas n to doubt that the cotton tie manufacturers are making a greater profit on the product of their factorial than the farmers are making on cotton. Why. then, should the cotton tie tax be incroasedl Mr. Aldrich said thut the finance com mittee, of its own motion, bad determined to increise the tax on cotton ties, so as to make it equal to tbe tax on ties used for other purposes. It does not seem to have occurred iu tho finance committee that the tax on tbe different kinds of ties could be equalized by reducing tbe tax on ties used for other pu: poses than confining cotton in bales. Iu equalizing the different taxes upon ties the interests of a few manufacturers seems to be of vastly more importance in the eyes of the republican sen ators than those ot tbousan is of farmers,and yet these same senators, together with Speaker Reed and Maj. McKinley, have been asserting ever since the present tariif bill was reported by the ways and means committee that it is a formers'bill. If they should say that it is a bill to rob the farmers they would come much nearer the truth. The reason Speaker Reed refused to permit the bill to be debated in the House is now becoming apparent. He was well acquainted with its outrageous cha-acter, and be was afraid to let tbe country become acquainted with it. There is no way to cut off debate in the Senate, and the people are beginning to find out the truth about this stupendous scheme of robbery which bears Maj. McKinley’s name. Church Growth. Tbe New York Independent has been taking a census of the religious denomina tions of this country, and it shows that there has been a remarkable gain in church growth. According to the Independent's figures there are iu the United States 151,- 261 chui ches of all denominations, 103,300 ministers and nearly 22,000,000 members, over one-third of the entire population. The Roman Catholics lead with 7,500 churches, 8,300 priests, and 8,277,000 ad herents, of whom 4,670,000 are estimated to be communicants. The Methodists come next with 4,980,000 communicants. The Baptists are credited w ith 4,293,000 mem bers; Presbyterians, 1,229,000; Lutherans, 1.086,000; Cougregationalistß, 491,000, and Episcopalians, 480,000. During tho year there has bsen an in crease of 8,500 churches, nearly 4,900 min isters and übout 1,090,000 members. The gain in Catholic communicants has been over ’238,000, and the growth in Protestant membership 668,000, ns follows: Methodist, ‘256,000; Baptists, '213,000; Lutherans, 98,000, Presbyterians, 49,000; Cougregationalists, 16,000; Episcopalians, 9,590. Thesa figures prove conclusively that Chris tianity is making rapid strides for ward. A gain of 8,500 churches and nearly 1,100,000 in membership in one year is certainly an encouraging showing, and iu itself a refutation of the assertion fre quently made that the church is losing prestige and influence. Papal Influence. European rulers and statesmen who fan cied that the Roman church’s power was over, aud that with tbe demolition of tem poral sovereignty all other kind of authority would speedily come to an end, are begin ning to realize that the Vatican is playing an increasingly important part in European politics. The clerical issue remains the principal partisan issue in half of the countries of the conti nent. It is practically the only issue there is in Dutch aud Belgian politics. It marks the line of cleavage between the factions in France. It holds control of legislation in the Gorman Reichstag. It has just over turned the ministry in Spain aud Austria. From the amount of questioning in parlia ment and speech-making and letter-writiug outside on this subject, it would seem that English politics is also divided on this burning clerical issue. The whole of Eng land is excited because the Prince of Wales has written a letter saying, as a matter of courtesy, that he thought Cardiual Man ning ought to be given precedence next to royalty iu England. The real significance of this sudden re vival of excitement about Rome turns, as most other contemporary move ments in English politics do, upon tbe Irish question. The Vatican receives favors from the British government and, in return, it is alleged, exerts its influence iu Ireland to bolster up the sinking fabric of landlord control. There is apparently evidence of the existence of this understanding in the con cession made by Lord Salisbury which al lows Catholic prelates to declare invalid mixed marriages in Malta. It is evident that toe pope’s influence is not waning. While council has the matter of granting privileges to present and proposed lines of street railroads under consideration it would be well for it to see to it that the or dinances relating to street railroads are en forced. It is a notorious fact that the cars of some of the street lines are not what they should be. Not a few of them are probably the worst to be found on the American con tinent. Street car companies are granted franchises by the legislature, aud privileges by the city council, both representing the people, with the understanding that the people, as well as the railroad companies, are to be benefited. Among the things to which the people are entitled are good cars and good service. In no other city would the street railroads be allowed to virtually say, “The people bedamned,” and it is about time that those who own or manage them be given to understand that the people have rights that street car companies are bound to respect. President Harrison should remember the old saying that he who hesitate* is lost. Our dispatches yesterday statu that the Presi dent is undecided ss to w hat to and > in regard to reciprocity, ou aouount of Speaker Reed's opposition to it. It must be admitted that Mr. Blaine has rattier the best of the argu ment. and if Mr. Harrison has the courage f bu convictions, and wants t > act for tbe gnatest good of tbe greatest number, bu will indorse reciprocity.

A story from Old Orchard was given pub licity last week to the effect that a Montreal mao has given a check for 85,1.0 to a popcorn peddler who had saved his liie by pulling him from under a tram of cars. Frank E.

Chauncey M Depew is said to be as rapid with his pen as his tongue. A correspondent relates the following: "I remember an instance when 1 was at his house at 7 o'clock one evening.

Cm any one match the following as an in stance of canine intelligence? A party of chii dren had spent the forenoon in a huckleberry posture. A dog belonging to a Mr Prindle. father of one of the children, had been wit i tnem. (If be was like a dog I know he had hurt :d out a patch of b'acibsriies and had gone into business, picking and eating, on his own account, i Upon their reaching home it ap peared that the Prindle girl had lost her pocket handkerchief. The dog, being a re narkable animal, and up to such tricks, was sent buck to find it. He came home after awhile, dispirited and without the missing article. As it would never do to allow a precedent like this to be come established, the owner went back with the animal to the field, and waiied to see that he properly performed his last. He was at fli-st reluctant, and sat on his haunches for several minutes in a stale of evident mental dejection. Suddenly he started up, all alorf. with the air of having solved the problem, and what he did was tuts: He took his positien a rod or so from the outside wall, and made a swift circuit of the en tire field, keeping that distance from its boundaries. Returning to bis starting point, he took anew course a rod or two inside his former one, and surrounded the field again as before. His next course was at the same dis tance inside that, and so kept on till, as must in time ina itably happen, he found the handker chief and gave it to his master I have to confess that, there is an element of tradition about the story of Mr. Prindle s dog, in this respect, that it belonged to a former generation, and that while my informant—him self of that generation, and acquainted with both master and dog—hel 1 it as an unquestion able fact, I cannot now absolutely verify.

And tries to make me rue My toil wit h his—"whocould have thought Such sentiments of you It seems to worry Eli that My lines don't always gee With certain views he has of what My sentiments should be He calls those poems “tottering shams, Against themselves arrayed;" I'd like to make him understand How lyric verse is made 1 I'd have him hold a prism, so The stinli.ht can strike through, And light the wall in shimraer.ng gleams Of yellow, red. and blue. I'd have him notice while he has >l< re blending hues in sight. That prisms are but bits of glass. The color's in the light. And coming to those verses, if He reckons it a crime To dress such warring thoughts in such Conflicting hues of rhyme. I'd sa.v: "Don’t b.ame the poet if His feelings seem at strife: He's nothing but the prism; all The devilment's in life. Not Half Warm Enoug-h tor Him. “Warm?'’ he said, pitting on a heavy pair of gloves and buttoning his light overcoat, “you don’t call this warm weather, do you?’’ “Do I call it warm?” said the other, mopping his brow and trying to fan himself at the sane time, while his face grew redder and redder. “I call it gridiron heat.” "Pooh, pooh, my dear fellow; the mercury isn't above ninety two.” “Ninety-two?” “And it hasi’t been above a hundred more than once this year.” “nbades of all the Icelanders!” cried the red fat man. ‘ what would you like to have it—l3s in the shade? Would you like to boil eggs in the public fountains? Do you waut foundries to run their fur oaces without Are? One hundred: Do you waut to sizzle and vanish in steam. One hundred!” he screamed in shrill, agonized tones, and he danced around madly in bis wrath until his face was of flaming scarlet. "On* hundred! Why, man, haven’t you got any blood in your veins?" “Oh, yes," said the other, shivering as a warm breeze touched him, “but I have 40,000 tons of icec mereu ’’ And then the little stout man, says the New York Tribune, fell in a swoon and an ambu lance carried him to the hospital, where he was recorded as suffering from prostiation by heat, while the ice king went home to order the ser vants to put more coal on the Are. How Report-ors Landed a Count. The recent assassination of Count Okomo by socialists at a public demonstration in Tokio recalls a clever ruse concocted by Chicago re porters whereby the count was landed tor an interview, says the Chicago Tribune. The lot ter, through his private secretary, refused to see any member of the press, and something ha'd to be done. So one of the reporters wrote a note to the count, in w ich he represented himself as a public official accompanied by a corps of private secretaries. He desired to call on the count and obtain from him his views, etc. This officialism and redtapebusi ness caugl.t the count and he dlree'ed that the young man and his secretaries be shown to his a; artraents. The young "official'' and his corps of secretaries entered the count's presence in the manner prescribed by stale etiuu tte. by previous agreement the "public official” asked the questions, and when the count replied said “official" turned to his corps and said: "Put that down." Having obtained "a column of nonpariel” the youug “official” withdrew his corps, and the next raoruing all the papers eontaiued the couut’s views. Greased It Once. I had been looking over the battlefields around Marietta, Ga„ and was five miles from the town when a cracker came along with an ox and a cart aud offered me a lift, relates a writer in the New York bun. After riding some distance, I realized that both wheels were sadly in need of grease, and I asked him why he didn't lubricate. "What fur?" he asked. "To make the cart draw more easily." “Shol This yere ox doan’ mind. He 'un doan' know." "But it would stop the squeaking " “Yes, I reckon, but the squeakin' doan’ hurt.” “It would save your wheels," I Anally said. “She! This old cawt ain't wuth savin’." "Didn’tyou ever grease it?" I persisted. “O ice. A yaakee rode to town with me and bought roe a box of stuff.” ’’How did it work?" "Mighty slick, but we dun spraad it on hoe cake, and ate it all up in a week " Conorkssm AN Ricaard Vaux. the pictur esque old gentleman who succeeded Sam uel J.

At a window, at an open window in a severe electrical storm, you can get a re served seat, for danger, or for ratal saock, usually. If you want a safe place in a severe thunderstorm, shut wiado.vdowo and then keep awav from it. When you can count teu between the fia-ih and the roll it is somewhat safer to look out through the glass at the superb spectacle. An electric storm is a fine show when you can enjoy it with safety, but when it is crackli g directly overhead ne.toera tree nor an open window are good places for the sight. Jay Gould has a brother in St. Louis named Abrabam Gould, the burden of whose life is his relationship. He is the purchasing agent of the Missouri Pacific railway on a moderate salary, and he complains that ne cannot go a v wheie without hearing somebody whisper. " There goes Jay Gould’s brother." If he steps into a barroom with a friend to take a quiet drink, Mr. (iou.d says that all the re-tot the people in the saloon have to be introduced to him, and ask him questions about his brother, and such conduct makes him weary; he wishes they wouldn’t do it. Abraham is a larger man than Jay, with a heavy leonine head, a solid jaw and bright eyes. He looks as if hw were the smarter; but appearances are often de ceitful. Thk story of a singular tragedy comes from Saint Ouen, in France. A young Italian named Delaroso deceived Virginia del Grecos under promise of marriage, and then refused to marry her The girl's lelatives held a family council and resoLed to compel the young man to marry her or to die. Two uncles procured revolvers and went out in seatca of him Delaroso was asked to meet Del Grecos, and did so. Tne meeting took place in the street. “Are you going to marry Virginia or not?” said one of her uncles. Delaroso refused to answer, where upon the uncle raised the revolver, saying: “Yes or no. Marriage or death.” The young Italian tried to put otf answering The two uncles then fired at him, aud he fell to the ground with three bullets in his head and four in his breast. Virginia and her sister watched the murder from a short distance with com pete composure. Nor were the murderers per turbed when the body of the slain man was borne past them to the police station, and after ward when they were confronted with the corpse by the commissary of police. During this scene Virginia said that Delarosa had no right to live. The Italians in Saint Ouen ap plaud the deed and maintain that in their coun t ry the murder of Delaroso would be considered an act of retribution. The young grandson of the famous er-Sena tor Nye of Nevada, and nephew of the equally famous Bill Nye of Laramie city aud New York, was a few days agoapp inted a page in the Senate. He is very popular with the other pages in the chamber and with nearly all of the senators. One of them, however, Mr. Colquitt of Georgia, rather thinks the new page has done him au injury. Soon after the b>y had taken the oath to support the constitution and to de fend his country against all enemies, foreign and domestic, he was called upon to do an errand for Sena or Wade Hampton, who told him to get a bottle of Congress water and a sandwich for him at the restaurant, and place them in the cloak room for him. Tno page made a slight mistake iu the order, and took the articles of refreshment into the Senate chamber and put them unintentionally on tne desk of Mr. Colquitt, where they remained for some time the cause of much comment. Sena tor Colquitt is au ardent prohibitiohist, an l was greatly saockel when he entered the chamber to find his desk adorned with a loug-necited black bottle and a sandwich covered with a nap km. At first he was disposed to think some of his colleagues had been playing a practical joke. When he learned the facts he gave young Nye a lecture, and warned him to be careful hereafter to distinguish between a prohibition senator and one wno is in favor of original packages Long Island, from Brooklyn to Sag Harbor, is interested in the visitation of anew insect which made its appearance a few weeks ago. and lias ever since puzzled the oldest inhab itant of the island. The insect clos dy re sembles a mosquito, and, no doubt, would have be *n called by that uame but for the numerous boarding houses on the island that seriously state there are no mosquitoes ia that locality. Not knowing any other name for them, the natives call the new visitors fuzbills, from the fact that they have bil s that are covered by tiny hairs. This is about the only mark of dis similarity from the mosquito that the fuzbill possesses. In shape, size, color and movements he is much like til • dreaded Jersey mosquito, although tne fuznill does not sing, and most fortunately, does not bite. During a long, continued southeastern storm the fuzbills made their first appearance. They were dis covered approaching in clouds, line whirling dust, and they stuck to the first thing they touched, usually the sides of houses and the trees. They weresonumerous that houses with white painted sides would ccaoge in appearance to look a dark gray as soon as the army of in sects arrived. They were even blown into the sleeping-rooms, where they clung to the walis and ceiling. Naturally, the new ai rival from the city, upon oeholding the new sight, would think of packing up his bag to leave, and often it would require the most serious argument to convince him that those flies were not inosquiti es. No man with a gram ot sense would remain a day in a house with mos quitoes as thick as were these fuzbills. Al though they neither sing nor bite, tne fuzbills are a decided nuisance. After clinging a few hours to the ceiling, he dies or becomes uuabie to move about, ami drops into anything that happens to be under him. He alights upon the chairs and offers an opportunity for the ruin ation of anew flannel suit, and he is ugpecially fond of being mashed to deaih upon new white dresse* The old inhabitarts say they have seen one or two of these insects after an east wind, hut they had never before this season sen tnem floating shout in such numbers, nor have they ever e>.|ienenoed such difficulty in convincing visitors that these flies are without the rnoanv of drawinv ULeiA close ersmlna non of the fu/Mil wilt show that tie has uot the or, lie with wmcU his near rrslive is provided Instead tie has a fuzzy bill that uas no power to harass and annoy the summer boarder.
