The kind of campaign literature which the democratic congressional committee is distributing relates almost wholly to the tariff. It is a very good kind, and if the voters will study it well there is no doubt that the next House will be democratic. A confederate veterans’ reunion will be held iu Atlanta during the Piedmont Ex position. The date of the reunion is Oct. 23. There will be a sham battle in the afternoou at the exposition grounds, and in the evening there will be a grand confederate jubilee at the new capitol, whore speeches will bo made by old soldiers. The leaf tobacco importers of New York are very much afraid that if the McKinley bill passes in its present shape there will be a panic in the tobacco trade. There is is an immense amount of tobacco stored in bonded warehouses, the duties on which amount to several million dollars. The McKinley bill greatly increases the duties on tobacco, and it increases the duties on that in the bonded warehouses. If the lm- porters felt certain that the bill would pass iu its present shape thoy would make ex i traordinary efforts to get the money to take the tobacco out of the warehouses, and iu the present condition of the money market they would have some difficulty in doing that. The law makers are great disturbers of business. Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore recently wrote a letter to Count YValdbott of Bel gium, in which he indulges in some observa tions with respect to the labor problem, and which was read before the social scieuoe congress in Brussels. In the letter he says that the bishops can have no higher duty than to labor like their Divine Master for the moral and social elavatiou of the masses. He says there should be no conflict between labor aud capital, and that the one is as necessary for the other as the hand is for the brain, and that in protecting the rights of the laboring classes it is not nec essary to trespass upon the claims of the capitalist. These observations of the car dinal are worthy of his kind heart, but they offer no solution of the difficulties which are constantly arising between or ganized capital and organized labor. Per haps the time may come whoa those organ ized forces will be able to get along together without a great deal of friction, though tbit time does not seem to be very close at hand. Tho New York Herald wants to know if Representative Kennedy, known as “Fight ing Bob Keunedy,” is a coward. The rea son it asks this question is that he has not had the speech in which he referred to Sen ator Quay as “branded felon” published in the Congressional Record. If the publica tion of that speech is to be regarded as a test of Mr. Kennedy’s courage the Herald’s question can be answered in the affirmative in all probability. The prospect is that the Epeech will never be printed in the Record. It is a matter of no tpnsequenco, however, whether it is printed in the Record or not. It has been read throughout the country. The newspapers published the most inter esting parts of it. That, however, (joes not obscure the fact that the republican leaders havo bulldozed Mr. Kennedy into keeping his speech out of the Record. That publi cation has ceased to be regarded as contain ing a full aud truthful account of tha pro ceedings of congress. Many this;* aro changed before they apnear in it, and much that it ouiht to contain is left out of it altogether! The Control of the Next House. There will be quite a large number of alliancemen in the next House, and perhaps a few independenta It has been suggested several times lately that it was probable that they would form a combination for the purpose of controlling the Hou : e. It is not believed, even by the republican leaders, that the recub.icxns will have a majority in the next House. All the indication* are that the majority will be democratic. It is impossible to state approximately now how many of toe morn berk will be alliancemen, or bow many of the aliiance mou will be democrats. The probabilities are that most of the alliancemen wiil be democrats. In the western statos, in which the alliance is 6tr nr, a few alliancemen who are republicans have t een nominated for congress, and the chances are that they will be elec tod. But it Is not probable that alliance repre sentatives wilt form a combination for the purpose of controlling the organization of the House. The republican alliancemen will act with the Republican party and the dem ocratic alliancemen will act with the Demo cratic party on party questions, {several of the alliancemen, who are candidates for congress on the democratic ticket in this state, have been asked whether they would act with the Democratic party in congress, and all have answered in tbe affirmative. They are democrats, and they have no other purpose than to go into the democratic caucus. They will, of course, do what they can to secure :u h legislation as the alliance wants, but if the purposes of the alliance should conflict with democratic principles, it is probable that they would be found acting with the Democratic party. The same thing can be said, probably, with respect to republican alliancemen. The sug gestion, therefore, that alliancemen will combine to control the organization of the next House is not worth more than a pass ing notice, If the republican leaders hope toembarrass tha next House if it should be democratic, by bringing about a combina tion between alliancemen and independents, it is highly probable that they will be dis apj ointed. Quay Did Not Holp Him. Speaker Reed secure! a re-election with out any help from Senator Qua)’, the chair man of the tyjtional republican Committee. It is understood that Quay and Reed are not as good friends as they once wore. Reed, inwall probability, would not have been speaker had it not been for the assist ance he received from Quay. McKinley, who was also a candidate for speaker, was more ] opular than Reed, and was pretty solidly supported by the western republi cans. Reed succeeded in getting Quay to assist him, and that shrewd political man ager soon so changed the situation that Reed’s chances greatly improved. With Quay’s help Reed got the coveted prize. But Reed no sooner found himself in a place of power than he forgot the servico which Quay had rendered him. Ho aimed to make himself tbe dictator of the policy of the Republican party upon all important matters. He never consulted Quay about anything and the two men gradually drifted apart. But tbe worst blow which Reed struok Quay wasiu permitting Kennedy to attack him in a speech on the floor of the House. It is true Reed was not in Washington when the speech was delivered, but it is said that Kennedy had shown it to him and told him that he intended to deliver it. Reed went away without notifying Mr. Burrows, who filled the speaker’s chair in his absence, not to permit Kennedy to deliver the speech. It is not to be wondered at, therefore, that Reed and Quay aro no longer the warm personal friends they once were. In fact, it seoms as if the republican leaders were about all on unfriendly terms. Even the President doos not appear to have a very pronounced following. He is very anxious for a renomination, and is watching the congressional elections, it is said, with the greatest Interest, with the hope of finding out from them whether or not there is any dissatisfaction with his administration. From praaent indications the Republican party wißßbe divided into quite a number of faction*! before 1892. The greater the want of harmony in that party is the bet ter the chance of tha Democratic party for success will be. The Investigation of tho charges against Pension Commissioner Raum is not with out its aensational features. The well kuown pension claim agent George £. Lemon, was before the investigating com mittee on Monday as a witness for Commis sioner Raum. He is the man who indorsed Raum’s notes, and to whom, it is alleged, Raum granted valuable favors in tbe way of advancing his pension claims. When Lemon had finished bis testimony he took oc casion to indulge in a little self-glorifioation, referring to his honorable record as a union soldier, bis high standing as an attorney before the departments and to his clean record. It seems cruel that anything should be said, or any questions asked, that would tend to disturb bis satisfaction. Prosecut >r Cooper, however, was remorseless, and ho asked him if he had ever boon disbarred from the surgeon-general’s office. A look of agony came into Lemon’s face that, but a moment before, had been wreathed in smiles. He was compelled to answer the question in the affirmative, and also to ad mit that he bad been disbarred for forgery. When the witness left the committee room he looked very much like a squeezed lemon. It would have boon better for Commissioner Raum if he had not been called as a witness. Dr. Feltou now has on opponent in the Seventh congressional district. Col. R. W. Everett, who was nominated yester day at Calhoun by the regular Democratic convention, will probably be elected, but If he takes the stump to advocate the sub treasury plan he will have a pretty hard road to travel, and will reach the end of tho canvass in a battered condition. The revolt against Powderly has begun. The window glass workers and bottle blow ers, who have hitherto boen among his stanchest supporters, have decided to leave the Knights of Labor if he is re-elected to the position of general master workman. Mr. Powdorlv’s course in connection with the strike on the New York Central railroad doesn’t meet with their approval. It is diffi cult to see how it could. The tariff bill will now have to take its chances in a conference committee. It is quite certain that the House will not agree to all the Senate amendment l . But what ever a conference committee does the bill will not be such a one as the country needs. The direct trade convention at Atlanta yeste; day passed some resolutions. The next thing in order will be to get the money to carry out the convention’s ideas THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1890. The Sugar Trust Satisfied. Tbe sugar trust, composed of sugar refiners, is well satisfied with the sugar schedule of tbe tariff bill, and it ought to he. If tbe schedule, as amended by the Senate, is allowed to stand, and the t ill be comes a law, the sugar refiners will bo in a position to make o .ormous profits. The sugar schedule, as agreed to by the House, provided that sugar below No. 16, Dutch standard, should be admitted free of duty, and that sugar of that standard and above it should pay a duty of four-tenths of 1 per cent, per pound. Hugar of No. 16 and above is the refined sugar. The sugar schedule as amended by the Senate provides that sugar below No. 13 shall be admitted free of duty; that between No. 13, and No. 13, it shall pay a duty of three-tenths of 1 per cent. jx>r pound, and that sugar of No. 16, and above it, shall pay a duty of sixth-tenths of 1 per cent, per pound. It is easy to see how the sugar trust is benefited by the Senate amendments. Sugar below No. 13 is the raw material from which the refined sugar is ma le. That between No. 13 and No.. 10 is of different grades of light brown, and is quite ex tensively usod by those who cannot afford to buy the refined sugar. If it should be permitted to come in free it would hurt the sale of refined sugar. The sugar trust wanted it taxed so heavily that it would not be sold in such quantities as to interfere with the market for refined sugar, and the Sonnto granted what it wanted. It is not easy to understand why the Senate increased the duty on refined sugar. The rate fixod by the House was quite high enough to afford the refiners ample pro tection. Indeed, with free raw sujar they ought to be able to hold the homo market without any protection. They wanted a ebanoe to make enormous profits, however, and so the Senate raised the duty two-tenths of 1 per cent, over that fired by the House, There will be a lively fight between the House and Senate over the sugar schedule, and perhaps over the reciprocity clause of the tariff bill. Speaker Reed, having boen elected by an increased majority, will, in all probability, assume a dictatorial tone, and undertake to force the Senate to accept the ideas of the House, which are his ideas, on the tariff bill. So far as the sugar schedule is concerned, it is probable that public sentiment will support him. If the sugar planters of this country are not to have the protection which has been accorded to them so long thoro is no reason why the sugar refiners’ interests should be so care fully guarded as to enable them to increase their already largo profits. Not a Fair Statement. The Southern Alliance Farmer savs: “The democratic s',ate convention, which put out a full ticket headed by Col. Northen for governor, failed to Indorse Qov. Gordon for the United. States Senate, but the inde pendents are indorsing him for this impor tant office without an exception.” This is hardly a fair statement of the situation. While it may not be absolutely incorrect, it is misleading, and it is hardly probable that the Southern Alliance Farmer wants to mislead its readers. There is no reason to doubt that the state convention would have indorsed Gov. Gordon for senator if he had asked for such indorsement, because there was no hostility to him, even among alliancemen, at that time. It is true that democrats who are not alliancemen are indorsing Gov. Gordon, but is it not also true that alliancemen are in dorsing him! Is it not safe to say that he has been indorsed by more alliancemen within tho last two or three weeks than by those who have no connection with the alliance? It is hardly fair, under tho cir oumstauoes, to endeavor to create the im pression that oaly those whom the Soula ern Alliance tarmer calls “independents’’ are indorsing Gov. Gordon. Euffratre in Mississippi. The discussion of the suffrage problem in the Mississippi constitutional convention promises to be quite a lengthy ones At present tbe disposition of tbe convention seems to be to adopt the report of tho com mittee to which that problem was referred, as offering the best solution that has yet been suggested. It provides for an educa tional or a property qualification, the edu cational qualification consisting in a citi zen’s ability to understand the constitution of the state. Col. Fewcll, a member of tbe convention, is a strong advocate of tho woman’s suf frage plan. The women, of course, would have to havo tbe same qualifications as the men. Kate Field seems to think that she is the originator of this plan, and she advisos that it be adopted in all the southern states. She thinks it would effectually prevent the blacks from ever getting control of either state, county or municipal governments. It is a matter of little consequence, how ever, whether the plan originated with Col. Fewcll or Kate Field. It will not be adopted in Mississippi or any other southern state. Womau suffrage may be popular in Kansas, Wyoming and elsewhere in the wild and untamed west, but it would not meet with approval la the south. In the south women don’t c;ira to take an active part iu politics. They leave political affairs to the men. In Mississippi a solution of the suffrage problem will be found. And it will boa solution that will keep the state out of the control of the blacks—a solution that will be approved by the common sense of the country. a The Rev. Dr. Hawthorne of Atlanta said, in a sermon recently, that “Atlanta is doing more to shape the policy of this southern land than New Orleans.” He said the secret of Atlanta’s power “lies not in her numbers, but in the manhood and womanhood that live within her Rates." New Orleans doesn’t accept his remarks in a kindly spirit, and with very good reason. Tbe men and women of Atlanta are no better in any respect than those of New Orleans. The Times-Democrat thinks that Dr. Hawthorne is a sort of "chartered libertine in speech.” Perhaps the doctor admires his own rhetoric so much that he does not always keep as close to the fact* as be ought to. Will Mr. John W. Foster be selected to succeed Gov. Palmer as minister to Spain? His name is prominently mentioned in that connection. He is an accomplished diplo matist, and if he is sent to Spain it will be understood that his chief work will be to get Spain to enter into reciprocal trade relations with this country. The most of the sugar im ported into this country comes from Cuba, aud, under tho Blaine reciprocal idea, if it comas in free Cubs must open her porta to American articles of export. Spain doesn’t seem to bo so ready for reciprocity as this country ls. PERSONAL. Senator Rioolebeeger's widow is now editor of a Virginia paper.

EiH Perkins On Umbrellas. The other morning, says the New York Even ing World, while the rain was pouring down and everybody's umbrella was trickling water over everybody else, two old friends met at the postofßce “Raining, isn’t it?” inquired Mr. Johnson. “What say?” asked Thompson, who is hard of hearing. “I say it’s raining.” "I don't quite catch what, you say,” said John son, putting his han l to his ear. “I say,” roared Thompson, with full force, “it's raining —rainy day ! 1” Johnson’s face colored with suppressed rage as he passed on. Then, turning suddenly, he looked after his friend and shouted: “T..o.upson, step into this doorway a mo ment.” As the two men stood there gesticulating wildly I heard this dialogue, only interrupted by ram drops and gleams or lightning: “Mr. Thompson,” said Johnson earnestly, “you have kuowu me for many years?” “Yes." “I’m pretty generally rated a shrewd busi ness man, ain’t I?" “Yes, you are rated high.” “Well, you see the rain running off this um brella, don't you?” "Of course." “Your own feet are wet?" “Yes." “Now, I don't carry this umbrrlla to keep the sun off, do I?” “Why, no.” “I carry it to keep off the rain, don't I?” “Of course." “Well, then, it rains. You know it rains. Everybody knows it rains. People are not idiots. Now, what infernal designs have you got in pushing aside my umbrella and saying, ‘Raining isn’t it?‘ ” “But But ” “Now, that’s all. You just let it rain. She knows her business. You just attend to your own affairs and let the weather alone. If you don't know enough to know when it’s raining, don't ask me. Good day, sir!" And then Mr. Johnson shook the rain off bis umbrella, stepped into his bank and commenced cutting off his coupons. Ha Got That Olaret Punch. Wall street men. as everybody knows, are the best dressed men in New York, says the New York Herald. But it is curious to observe what a change the neglige shirt has made in the at tire of natty stock exchange brokers. Two ytars ago there wasn’t a man of fashion in town who would of thought of showing him self upon the street, no matter how hot the weather, unless in the full regalia of high, stiff, exasperating collar, a starche t linen shirt and that most uncomfortable and unnecessary of all summer garments, a waistcoat. Then it would have meant social ostracism to be seen in a flannel shirt worn without a “vest," and wish one's trousers held up by a belt But now wt is quite the correct thing, and on a particu larly sweltering day it hasn’t been very uncom mon to see a dudish broker rush out of an office in the heat of tbe dav and dive into a cafe for a "cooler" or a sandwich, actually without a coat on. Imagine the horror of an old time swell at such a spectacle! But this shirt sleeve business is carrying the thing too far, and conservative Wall street men frown upon It as a little too free aud easv. At Delmonico's Broad street cafe, down by the stock exchange, Charley De.monico recently laid down the rule that his waiters ana bar tenders must not serve a coatless customer. There was au occasional kick, but the waiters were always Arm, though very poiite, iu obey ing instructions, and as no fellow likes to be barred out of Dei's the new derarture didn't go. One day, however, Charley Delmonico's anti shirt sleeves order was successfully and very cleverly defied, and the boys haven’t quit laugh ing about It yet. it was a scorching day. when Gen. Humidity was getting in his deadliest work. A Nassau street bookseller, who sometimes takes a flyer in stooks, was in the office of his broker watch ing the blackooard with the anxiety of a man woo has a big interest iu the market. Broker and customer, with big pulrn leaf fans, stretched out on a pair of big wicker easy chairs, were simultaneously smitten with a desire for something cooling, and, at the customer s sug gestion. tuey picked up their bats and sailed into Delmonico’s, next door. The broker, as it happened, had on a linen office coat, but the perspiring customer, who had removed his cloth coat in the broker's office, hadn't troublel to put it on when he came out. "Gi’ me a brandy smash," said tho broker to the artist behind the bar. ’Til take a claret punch.” said the customer when the fragrant smash had been placed be fore bis companion. The barkeeper looked uncomfortable. “I am very sorry, sir,"hefaltered, “but we can’t serve a gentleman without a coat on. It’s against orders, sir.” “What!” exclaimed the customer indig nantly. But indignation wouldn't help the matter, aud the man behind tue bar explained apologetically that he couldn’t make any ex ception, much as he would like to. “Hold on a minute,” suddenly exclaimed the broker, like a man who has an idea. He quickly took off his own coat and handed it to the coatless one with: “Here, put that on.” Tne customer "tumbled” at once, and so did the barkeeper. “And now," said the customer, as be stood before the bar with his friend’s coat on, “mix me that claret punch quick.” The barkeeper was on the broad grin and so was the crowd, who enjoyed the trick Im mensely. Tbe claret punch was ready in a Jiffy. Mean time the coatless broker kept his grip on the brandy smash. “All reaiy? Let’or go! Here’s to Charley Delmonico's order!" exclaimed he without the coat. Two elbows waut up, two heads were thrown bock, there was a pleasant gurgling sound and all was over. And nobody enjoyed the joke more than Charley Delmonico did.

Of taste, a medical journal says that it is not equally distributed over the whole surface of the tongue. There are three distinct regions of tracts, each of which has to perform its own special office or tunction. Tbe tip of the tongue is concerned mainly with pungent and acid tastes; the middle portion is sensitive to sweets or bitters, while the back or lower portion con fines itself entirely to the flavors of the rich fatty substances. This subdivision of faculties in the tongue makes each piece of food undergo three separate examinations, which must be successively passed before it is admitted into full participation in the human economy. Sqt'tßE Tyrrell of Cincinnati comes to the front at this late day to declare that all history is false concerning the great naval battle in Mo bile in 1864. He says: “It is said that Farragut mounted the mast and lashed himself fast He did nothing of the kind. I was within twenty feet of him as we entered the channel. I stood on the spar deck amidships on the Metacomet and he was mounted upon the cross of the mast of the Hartford There was a rope dangling from this place, and he gave it a hitch about his waist and held the end in his hand.
