President Diaz of Mexico thinks his army
is altogether too large in this piping time of
peace. He proposes to got rid of the worst
elements of it, and also to retire about one
hundred and fifty generals without pay. It
will be anew experience to these generals to
have to hustle for a living.
Mr. Higgins, of Delaware, who, not long
ago, was elected senator from that state, is
not holding his party together in his state
▼ery successfully. He is a better lawyer
than politician, and it is probable that he
■would have shown greater wisdom by re
maining in the law business than by getting
into politics. When the desire to take part
in politics, however, gets hold of a man, he
is not worth much for any other business.
The New York Wovld thinks that New
York within the last twenty years has
grown from an ugly to a beautiful city.
Well, New York may have changed greatly
for the better wituin the period mentioned,
but there is still great room for improve
ment. There aro some handsome buildings
there, but nearly all the buildings appear to
have been erected without any regard for
architectural beauty.
Sam Small, who was elected recently
president of a little college at Ogden, Utah
territory, is in Philadelphia trying to get
money to an amount sufficient to make the
college a success. It is probable that he
does not meet with much encouragement in
his undertaking. There aro plenty of col
leges much nearer than the projected one at
Ogden that are in need of assistance, and
there is every reason to believe that they
will be provided for before there is much
money sent to colleges in the far west.
Unless something is done to prevent a
waste of the water the city will not succeed
in getting a sufficient supply of artesian
water to meet the demand, even if it should
sink several more wells in the vicinity of
the water works. It is not an unusual thing
to see leaking water plugs in different parts
of the city. It is safe to say that a very
large amount of water is wasted every day.
The people will never bo economical in the
use of water until they are made to pay for
what they use.
It is said that at the state department it
is not thought that our minister to Guate
ma'a, Mr. Mizner, is much of a diplomat.
That being the case, why is he permitted to
retain his position? His mistakes may cost
the government dearly. An unfit man
should not be permitted to remain in a
place of responsibility an hour after his
unfitness is discovered. Minister Mizner,
from all accounts, has no knowledge of the
questions with which he is expected to deal,
and therefore is unfit to represent this
country in Guatemala.
Mr. A. J. Monecal, the chief engineer of
the Nicaragua canal, who reached Washing
ton from Nicaragua a day or two ago, says
that the work on the canal is being pushed
forward vigorously. Several milliou dol
lars have been spent and the engineers do
not now think there is any doubt that the
canal will be built, or that it will be com
pleted within a very few years. At present
1,800 men are employed on it under the
direction of eighty engineers. It looks now
as if the glory of uniting the two oceans by
a canal would belong to Americana
The Republican Idea.
Senator Blair expresssi the republican
idea on Mon lay, when, in reply to a re
mark of Senator Koagan that tha tariff bill
discriminated against the south, he said
' that Senator Rea jan ought not to cast im
putations upon “the government to which
he owed his life,” and that he was “indulg
ing in a whine whoa he ought
to be shouting bis thankful
ness.” Csnat >r Blair and his
brother republicans think they have a right
to rob the south in every way they can, lie
cause the south was defeated in the war of
secession. They do not saorn to think that
the south has any right to participate in ths
g ivernment; that shi ought to bo thankful
for anything the north is willing to give her,
and that, instead of complaining when in
justice is done her, she ought to foel that
she doesn’t deserve a3 much as she gets.
It is this idea of the Republican party, to
which Senator Blair gave expression, that
keeps alive whatever sectional feeling there
is. If the Republican party had permitted
it all bitterness arising out of the war would
have disapp eared long ago. The repub
lican organs and leaders, however, continue
to insist ibat the south ought not to have a
voice in public affairs and should be
snubbed whenever she attempts to protect
her rights.
The Republican party should understand
that the south doesn’t intend to submit to
treatment of that kind. She is a part of the
union, and is just as much entitled to fair
treatment in the making of tha laws and in
the administering of them as the north.
The complaint that Senator Reagan made
was well founded. Smstor Gorman came
to his support and declared that the tariff
bill discriminated against the south in every
line.
The other day, on the demand of western
farmers, binding twine was placed on the
free list. A year or so ago a trust got con
trol of binding twine and made the
wheat-producing farmers pay a very high
price for it. The putting of the twine on
the free list was a concession to the western
farmers and a blow at the twine trust. A
southern senator proposed that jute and
jute bagging be put on the free list, so that
the ootton-producing farmers could have a
cheap wrapping for their cotton. A trust
got control of all the jute' ba;ging a couplo
of years ago and nearly doubled the price
of it. The Senate refused, however, to
make to the cotton-growing farmers a
concession which it bad made to the wheat-
growing farmers.
This is only one instance of discrimina
tion agaiust the south. Many others could
be mentioned. The one to which Senator
Reagan especially called attention was the
admission, free of duty, of machinery for
the manufacture of beet sugar in the north
west, while refusing to admit, free of duty,
machinery for the manufacture of cane
sugar in the south. He also callod attention
to the increase in the tax on cotton ties for
which the pending tariff bill provides.
The Republican party must get rid of the
idea that the south is not entitled to the
same treatment in the making and admin
istering of the laws as the north. No man
who eutertains that idea is fit to be a mem
ber of congress.
The Butterworth Option Bill.
Representative Butterworth is trying to
get the speaker to give him two days for
the consideration of his option bill. The
farmers are behind this bill, they having
tbo idea that speculation in farm products
depresses the prices of those products. But
have they studied carefully the effect of
speculation in farm products on the prices
of those products? If they have not they
should do so at once, because the bill they
are asking to have passed to prevent such
speculation may bo more harmful than ben
eficial to them.
It is a fact that the milbrs of the north
west favor the Butterworth bill. Why? Do
they want wheat to be cheaper or dearer?
Cheaper, of course. The cheaper the raw
material is the better it is for them. They
know that speculation tends to keep up
prices. If it tended to make prices lower
they would oppose the Butterworth bill, not
favor it.
If the cotton farmers will study the
markets carefully they will find that specu
lation in cotton keeps up the prices of
cotton. In England, as the summer season
approaches, the spinners talk of running
their mills on short time, with the, view of
alarming the speculators in cotton, and
causing a fall in prices. They are well
aware that the result of speculation is to
make prices higher.
It is a notorious fact that if it had not
been for future contracts cotton farmers
would have received much less for their
cotton last year, aud future contracts have
kept prices this year much higher than they
would otherwise have been. It is true that
there are times when speculation appears
to have a bad effect upon prices, but the
better opinion is that farmers are, as a rule,
greatly benefited by it. If this opinion is
a correct one are not the farmers making a
great mistake in urging the passage of the
Butterworth bill?
Now and then in the north a white girl
bobs up who is not averse to a colored ad
mirer. Katie Kunkle, 23 years old, em
ployed in the dining-room of the Grand
Central hotel, of Reading, Pa,, and con
nected with very respectable people in that
city, found pleasure in encouraging the
attentions of two black admirers, both of
them married men and both separated from
their wives. Katie Kuukle is said to be
rather good-looking, and the black Romeos
became so jealous of each other that on
Friday night they engaged in a street duel
with pistols and one of them was killed.
The world would not have missed them if
both had been killed. As it is the white
girl is in jail on a charge of being accessory
to the killing. The color line does not
appear to be quite as clearly drawn in
Reading as it ought to be.
The public will soon lose confidence in the
correctness of the reports in the Congres
sional Record. What right has Represent
ative Kennedy to withhold his speech
attacking Senator Quay from the Congres
sional Rccordi The spsach was delivered
in the House, and should have appeared in
that publication the day following its de
livery. It looks now as i* it would not
appear iu the Record at all. The repub
licans are noted tor suppressing what they
think would injure their party. They are
ready to do almost anything to secure party
success.
There must bo an enormous number of
rats in Logan county, Illinois. The fair
association in that county recently offered
a premium for rat tails, its purpose being to
reduce the number of rats ia the county.
Up to last Wednesday 20,948 tails bed been
offered to the association, one farmer offer
ing as many as 4,300. Ho must have done a
a great deal of ratiocination before he got
together that number of tails.
THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1890.
The Maine Rivals.
Speaker Reed Laving been re-elected by
a larger majority than ho received two
years ago, bis admirers are making him the
subject of a great deal of thoughtless talk.
Some of them are saying that, having re
ceived such a hearty indorsement from his
constituents, he will undertake to defeat
Blaine’s reciprocity policy, aid others de
clare that nothing can prevent his nomina
tion for President by his party in 1892. A
great deal of this taut will cease in a day or
t wo. I; will be found, probably, that consid
erable money was spent in Reed’s district
to secure his re-elecuoa. Those who are
to be benefited especially by the
pending tariff bill could not afford
to have him defeated, because bis defeat
would have been construed as a condemna
tion of the high protection policy upon
which that bill is based. It is only reason
able to suppose, therefore, that they furn
ished as much money as it was thought
would be necessary to give him a majority
that would seem to be aa indorsement of
that policy.
It is quite safe to say that Speaker Reed
will not attempt to defeat Blaine’s reciproc
ity policy. Tnat policy has been incorpo
rated in the tariff bill by the Senate, aud it
is pretty certain that the House wdl agree
to it. It is probable that Reed would like
to defeat it, for the reason, principally,
that be does not like Blaine and
would like to see any polioy that promise i
to add to Blaine's reputation defeated.
While he and Blaine are not openly at war
with each other, their relations are not
oordial. Blaine failed to say a single word
to help Reed in his campaign for re-election.
He made a couple of speeches in Maine be
fore he retired to his summer home at Bar
Harbor, but neither of them was made in
Speaker Reed’s district, and in neither of
them did he allude to Speaker Reed. This
conduct of Blaino was, of course, construed
by Reed’s friends as meaning that Blaine
did not care whether Reed was re-electod or
not.
It may be that Speaker Reed has a good
chance for the presidential nomination of
his party in 1892. With the extremists of
his party he is very popular, bat they are
not strong enough to dictato the nomina
tion. If Blaine should be a candidate he
would stand a better chance of getting the
nomination than Reed, aud it looks now as
if it were his intention to be a candidate.
The west will control the nomination, and
in the west he is much more p ipular than
any other oneof the republican leaders. The
western republicans are getting very tired
of the high protection policy of
their party. That was shown
very clearly by the promptness
with which they accepted Blaine’s reci
procity policy. Even in Kansas the repub
licans in their slate convention adopted a
resolution to the effect that they were op
posed to prohibitory tariff laws.
While Blaine and Reed, therefore, may
be considered to lie rivals, Reed is not as
well thought of by his party throughout
the country as Blaino. and if they should
both be candidat/8 for the presidential
nomination of their party in 1892 Blaine
would have by far the better chance of
getting it.
The conference of the African Methodist
Episcopal Zion church was in session in
Chicago last week, and some of its meetings
were pretty lively, and all of them were in
teresting. At the Fridny night ineoting the
presiding officer, Bishop Lomax, scored
some of the preachers for not turning their
collections into the general fund, instead of
applying them' to their salaries. Among
other things he said: “The difficulty with
colored ministers Is that they too often
preach about what they do not understand.
They take somebody’s book and write from
it a long sermon, and they aland up and read
firstly, thirdly and twenty-secondly, ana
finally your long-winded remarks blow out
of the window; your congregation is asleep;
there is no interest in the oburcb, and you
collect no money. You should not borrow
long-winded classical sermons. Leave that
to the high-toned white ministers. Preach
something that you understand, and you
will have no difficulty in having good con
gregations who will pay liberally to the
church. But you think it all right so long
as you find somebody to sit up and say
‘amen,’ even if they do not understand what
you are saying, and you do not understand
it yourself. If you cannot manage your
churches, you should go at something else.
Get a young mule and go to plowing.”
There is a great deal of truth in the fore
going. It is safe to say that there are
many colored ministers—and white ones,
too, for that matter—who don’t understand
their own sermons. Indeod, it is doubtful
if it would be possible for anybody to un
derstand them. It is not to be wondered
at, therefore, that their churchos are life
less.
It is understood that Mr. Clarkson, who
was lately the terror of fourth-class post
masters, and who officially dec.apite.tod
more of them than any other man who ever
occupied the position of First Assistant
Postmaster Goneral, intends to pass the
coming winter iu Paris. One of that small
number of Washington correspondents,
who are forever puffing somebody for a
consideration doubtless of some sort, says of
the ex-Assistant Postmaster General’s wife;
“Mrs. Clarkson, with her striking type of
Alsatian beauty, combined with her easy
grace and sparkling conversational gifts,
will make as delightful au acquisition to the
gay circles of the American colony and in
the salons of the French republic as she
was to the fashionable drawing rooms of
the American capital.” No doubt, Mrs.
Clarkson is a very nice lady, but whoever
heard of her as being conspicuous in the
fashionable drawing rooms of Washing
ton?
Col. Elliott F. Shepard, the bloody shirt
warrior of the Mail and Express, is ex
tremely anxious to be mayor of the city of
New York. He thinks be can get the re
publican leaders to favor his nomination
for that office by feeding them at his aristo
cratic club once iu a while. He has invited
them to a big feed on Sept. 10. Of course
a nomination by the republicans would not
amount to much, but Col. Shepherd seems
to think it would. He has au idea that ho
is very popular, and, borides, if he should
succeed in getting the nomination of his
p6LTty.it is not at all improbable that ho would
resort to the methods of his party to secure
an election. It is well known what taose
methods are. Col. Shepard is a very rich
man, and could easily find agents who know
how to put money where it will it will do
the most good in political campaigns.
Mechanics and builders of this city have

“Wbat a woman can do” is fairly well ex
emplified by the career of Mrs Alice Houghton,
who was at the Palmer hous' yesterday, savs
the Chicago Tribune Mrs. Houghton is a tall,
handsome woman with the rapid, brusque man_
ner of one who knows the business methods of
the big booming west. She ought to know them,
too, for those same methods hive made for Mrs.
Houghton over $.150,000 in three years. She is
the real estate queen of Washington territory,
and she handle- property whose value would
take away the breath of the common real estate
speculator, even in Chicago.
“I believe a woman can do anything she
takes a fancy to,” said Mrs Houghton. “I
started out with a lucky speculation in real es
tate at Spoka e Falls by which 1 made 810.000.
I didn't put it away in a safety deposit vault. I
invested It and made more. Then I hired an
ofllc -and begun commission deals. I have done
a business since which has run up occasionally
to the amount of $200,000 a week. Real estate
is still booming in Spokane.”
Mrs. Houghton is on her way to New York
now to confer with the president of the North
ern Pacific, by which she is retained, on a mat
ter of right of way-. She does the biggest com
mission business in Spokane Falls and is wildly
eotnusiastic about her home. What she said
about Carter Harrison, who doesn’t like
Spokane Fails, would make Mr. Harrison feel
bad.
The Summer Man.
From the Boston Evening Transcript.
The summer girl a Ids yearly zest
To paragraphers’ lance,
But why not change the theme, and give
The summer man a chance?
That desolate, neglected wretch.
Whose wife and children roam
By mountain streams or curling surf,
While he stands guard at home.
Where empty rooms Italicize
The voiceless, silent place, /
And millers flit, unchallenged, by J
To disappear in space.
v
Imagination falsely paints fc
The freedom ot iiis way—
Amusements, dinners and the like, ■!
With voyages down the bay. ”
That liberty which thrills to feel V
Tue curb of home removed,
And rove at will without restraint
In paths not quite approved.
Whore latch-key's click strikes no remorse
However late the hour,
And solitude alone holds sway
Within my lady’s bower.
Reality such romance pricks.
Its bubble is a sham;
A solemn, lone, domestic tramp—
Heaven help the summer man!
J. B. Aldus.
Her Boy Catno Home.
She was a little old woman in black, with the
least bit of white ruebing about her neck, says
the Philadelphia Press, just such a creature as
it takes to bring one down to the real thought
of bums: ity, out of the hurly-burly of every
day existence to tee little sorrows and little
rays of sunshine that goto make up life as it is.
Everybody noticed her as she ca ne in the car.
Her sweet old face didn’t have many wrinkles
in it, and the other passengei s wondered if she
wasn’t the prettiest girl in her crowd when she
was young.
The little old lady had two letters in her hand,
and aft ?r she had given the conductor her
nickle, she opened one of them, at the same
time adjusting a pair of steel-rimmed specta
cles to her nose. As she read the letter a smile
gathered all over her face and then tiroko into a
laughing chuckle that everybody in the car
noticed. Another smile came, then a laugh and
more smiles, and the ietter was finished. The
little old woman was the happiest person on
the car, and she seemed to want to say some
thing to somebody. As she put away the first
letter and began opening tne ot her one, she
turned to a lady sitting by her and said:
“That letter is from Johnny, my boy, I mean.
He's been gone a long time now, and every
Saturday I get a letter from him. He never
forgets his old mother. John doesn’t, and some
day he will come back to aee me. You don’t
know the comfort of such a son. young lady.”
The second letter was taken from its envelope
and the little old woman began reading. In a
' moment she started and then jumped to her
feet, staring wildly at the sheet she held i:i her
baud.
“No, no!” she screamed. “No, it is not so—
it can’t be so.”
The little old woman reeled, and a big, burly
home going laborer caught her in his arms.
She was taken from the car, accompanied by a
number of the passengers, and lifted to a drug
store. When she was finally laid down one of
the passengers put his ear close to her heart,
and then rising shook his head.
The little old woman had died! In one of
her hands a letter was clasped, and in the other
she clutched a rumpled sheet. The bit of pa
per was taken by one of the passengers, who
read aloud to the others:—
“Dear Madam:—lt is with pain we disclose to
you sad news concerning your son. As he was
returning to the mining camp from the post
olfice last night, his horse threw him against a
rock, and ne never spoke again. He died this
morning,”

In some parts of the southwest, regardless of
tte great growth of towns and the building of
school houses, it is still almost impossible to
get a direct answer to a question, says the
Pittsqurg Dispatch. One evening about
dusk a man rode up to a fence sur
rounding a loc near the roadside, and thus ad
dressed a woman who was attempting to per
suade a few drops of milk from a rnuly cow.
‘"Madam, I am los".'"
“Wall, that's whut the preacher says is the
matter with the most of us, an’ I reckon the
best thing to do is to get 'ligon an’ then do the
best we kin under the sarcumstances,"’ she re
cked, giving the cow an awful jerk.
“I mean that I have misted the road to DaD
ney’s ferry.
“Wall, I shouldn’t wonder, fur it is a mighty
matter fur some folks to toiler these roids
here, they air so crooked. You air travelin’, I
reckon.’’
“Yes. I wanted to go to Dabney's ferry.”
“Got kin folks livin’ down tnar. I reckon."
‘ ‘No; I bave no relatives living in this part of
the country. Will this road lead me to the
ferry?”
“Wall, you’ll hatter ax pap about that. He
tromps roun’ all over the neighborhood while
I’m doin’ the work, an’ he oughter know whir
all the roads go to."
"Where is he?”
“Who. pap?”
“Yes.”
“Wall, the Lawd only knows. But I reckon
ther yaller dog kin tase you whor he is.”
"Where is the yellow dog?"
“I don’t know that auther. You’ll hatter ax
one of the chillun.”
“Where are the children?”
“The Lawd in heaven only knows, stranger,
for I don’t. Jest wait awhile an’ mebby one of
’em will holler, for it is about time fur one or
’em to git snake bit.”
"I haven’t time to wait.”
"Wall, then. I reckon you’ll have to jog along
the oest wayyou kin.”
“I wish you would gire me some informa
tion ”
“Yas. I reckon so, fur I have hearn tell that
information is a mighty fine thing when a pus
son is pushed right hard fur it.”
“Where does that road over there lead to?”
* Right to Dabney's ferry.”
“Why, that’s the road I want. Why didn’t
you tell me?”
“Wall, you didn’t’ax me about that road.
You kep on talkin’ about sutbin’ else. Wall,
good-day. Ef you travel round here much’
you'll l'arn to ax fur what you want without
heatin’ about the bush ”

Prof. Austin, who is making an analysis of
the Passaic river, N. J., water, a few days ago
made an interesting experiment. He placed
several corks and some deleterious matter in
the river at the point where Passaic City sowers
empty. In three hours and fifteen minutes the
matter floated down the river to the Newark
pumping Station. Inasmuch as it requires six
hours for the tide to run out, the experiment
indicates that Passaic’s sewerages floats miles

Frank Werrkn, who lives in Shamokawa.
Ore., had a little child almost killed by a rooster
the other day. The rooster is of the Leghorn
variety aud very vicious, and never hesitates to
attack any one that comes within its reach
The child, which is about \% years old. was out
in the yard, when the rooster attacked her
knocking her down and inflicting with his spurs
two deep gashes over the left temple and
making an ugly wound over the right yeball
Had the rooster struck her a little lower it
would probably have ruined the eyesight of the
left eye. The child will recover.
At a farm in the district of Forest Hall one
of a brood of chickens was lamed. Unable to
follow the hen in search of food, it was soon
half starved. The chick was recently missed,
and next day was found lying with three kit
tens, the mother of which gave the fledgeling
every attention. Every dav the cat has carried
the bird in its mouth into the farm yard, where
it has obtained food, and as regularly conveyed
it in the same manner back to lie with the kit
tens. Through the care of puss the injured
limb is growing stronger and the chicken is
thriving. The conduct of the cat has been a
matter of great interest to the inhabitants of
tne farm, who have carefully watched puss in
all her proceedings.
