Immediately afler the announcement that Editor Jcseph Pulitzer had re ired from the management of the New York World his ancient foe, tne Sun, printed an editorial article headed “Relief on Park Row.” Heavy snow storms have viaited North Dakota auJ Minnesota.

Forty Chinamen were registered in the First ward Chicago, Wednesday, with a view to voting in the coming election.

After so many years of the saloon in politics a short whet of the ■wash-tub in that same will be at least a novelty, if not a renovator. Republican newspapers are printing a statement setting forth that the story of an assassin's attack upon Hon. C. R. Breckin ridge in Arkansas, is merely a can ard set udoat for political effect. If that is true, Mr. Breckinridge deserves to be defeated. Assassination should not bo made a play thing. But the republican statement sounds rather iucredible. No one is likely to be lieve Mr. Breckinridge so dishonest as that would imply, without better reason for it than the unsupported assertion of his parti san opponents.

The New York Tribune, the leading pro tection organ, is endeavoring to create the impression that a half dozen or more factories for the manufacture of tin plate are to be erected at once in the vicinity of Pittsburg. The McKinley bill, it says, by increasing the duty on ttu plate more than 125 per cent., will create a now industry in this country. Strangs as it may seem, the Tribune alone appears to have Information that tin plate factories are about to be erected. The correspondents of other news papers have endeavored to find someone who has decided to put money into a tin plate factory and have not succeeded. The Pittsourg Dispatch, s i iudspsndent paper which favors protection, says that the talk about establishing tin plate fac tories, at or near that city, has little or no foundation. It seems that John Jarret, who is the consul of this government at Birmingham, England, tried to convince English tin plate manufacturers taat they could manufacture tin plate at a great profit in this country now that such an enormous tariff tax had been placed upon tin plate. They asked Mr. Jarret a great many questions, the resut of w .ich was that they declined to put any money in a tin plate factory in this country. However, some of the tin plate manufacturers of Wales and England came to this country with the members of the Brit sb Steel and Iron In- stitute for the express purpose of investigat ing further tae question of tae advisability of establishing factories for the manufactur ing of tin plate. The Disjiatch says that they discussed the matter thoroughly and reached the conclu sion that it would ouiy be throwing money away to put it iuto tin plate factories. They said that before tin p,ate could be manufact ured at a profit in this country tae tariff would have to be still further increased— that instead of a tariff of 2 2-10 can’s a pound on tin plate, it would have to be at least 4 cents. If these statements of the Pittsburg Dis patch are correct, and there does not ap pear to be any ground for doubting them, the outrageous tax on tin plate, for which the McKinley bill provides, will not create a new industry. It will, however, check im portations of tin plate, thus benefiting the producers of shottt iron as that article will likely become a substitute for tin for roof ing purposes. And in order that the sheet iron pro ducers may get rich the whole people are to be taxed heavily—at least all the people who use tinware In aay of its forms, or who purchase canned fruits and vegetables put up m tin cans. No doubt the protection papers will continue to assert tnat the plate factories are going to be built, but the in dications now are that they will not have the satisfaction of saying they are built. The South Carolina Muddle. The blacks in South Carolina having in dorsed the Haskell ticket, there is a proba bility of pretty lively times in that state on election day, if it be true, as stated, that Tillman said the blacks would not be per mitted to vote. The blacks will vote if they want to, and there will be plenty of whites at the polls to see that they have a fair chauce to vote and that their votes are counted. It is to be regretted that the straigbtout democrats put a ticket in the field. Their action bos brought about a deplorable con dition of affairs. And there is not much, if any, chance for the election of their ticket. Those of the blacks who vote for state offices will vote the Haskell ticket because their sympathies are with the Haskeilites. but the blacks are not organized and not registered. Comparatively few wilt take the trouble to register, and, hence, the black vote for the Haskell ticket cannot be very large. The bringing of the blacks into the fight of the democratic factions, however, will have the effect of increasing the black vote for the republican congressional candidates, and in one or two of the districts a repub lican may be elected. It is not good politics to jeopardize the election of a couple of democratic candidates for congress for the mere satisfaction of opposing the Tillman ites. The strength of the Haskellites is, of course, in the towns. The Tillmanites, who are mainly farmers, have adopted a method for lessening the opposition to Tillman. They boycott merchants who are kuow.i to be in sympathy with the Haskell ticket. But it is not probable that the boycotting will bo carried to any groat extent. It will create bad feeling, howover, and array the town people against the couutry people. It is a good tiling the oleotion is so near at haud. If it was two months off there would be danger of violent conflicts between the war ring factions. When Mrs. Catherine Booth, known as the “Mother of the Salvation Army,” was buried in London the other day she was hauled to the grave on a cannon carriage, W i.ethor that was intended to imply that she was one of tho cannons of the salvation soldiers faith, or simply a big gun, was not made clear. Bu if there is any penalty attached to burlesque worsuip she will be fired later on. Yet when it is known that she was pursued to her la3t resiting place by fifteen Salvation Army bands no oae with a spark of human compassion in h is soul can wish her any further torture. Two nines of ridiculously fat men are to play a match game of base tall at Ashland, Wis., to-day. One club aggregates 8,854 pounds, or an average weight of 317 pounds each. About tho only way they could pound a ball would be to sit on it They could avoirdupois pound it out of shape. But if one should drop the ball all of them together couldn't stoop low enough to pick it up. There is not a squat ia the whole crowd. All the flies they are liable to knock are those that congregate on their own bald heads as thoy sit in tho sun and bat their eyes like a bullfrog in a shower. Last Sunday morning a remarkable scene was witnessed in a Catholic churoh at Syracuse, N. Y. Because the collection was too small to suit him, it Is alleged, the priest left the altar before the mass was finished, leaving the congregation in dignant y amazed. Such a thing is unpre cedented. It is to be immediately reported to the bishop of the diocese. Having re placed a favorite priest this Father Ryan is said to have grown very unpopular. To an outsider, howover, the pulpit seoms of all ulaces least appropriate for an exhibition of unruly temper. Foreordination is to be eliminated from the Confession cf Faith by the Presbyterians lately as embled at Pittsburg. That means that hereafter when a t.ain is wrecked, for instance, the orthodox will not need to be lieve that the obstruction was arranged by Almighty (Jod in erdor that the victims may be mangled as per pre-arranged pro gramme. THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1890. Fortunate Alabama. The three hundred members of the British Iron and Steel Institute who visited Bir mingham on Thoredsy confirmed the 1 opinion that is entertained by iron and ! steel manufacturers of this country that | iron and steel oan be made at that and ! ocher places in the south cheaper than anywhere else in the world. They were greatly surprised at the wonder ful development in iron manufacturing which has taken place at Birmingham, and deeply interests i in what they saw there. They had beard, cf course, of Alabama's almost unlimited resources of iron and coal, but they wore compelled to admit that their expectations were greatly exceeded. It is safe to predict that at no very dis tant day more iron and steel will be manu factured io Alabama than in any other part of the United States, or in any Euro pean country. The making of iron and steel has only just begun tuere. And the more clearly the facta become understood that iron and steel of excellent quality can be produced there at a less cost than else where an immense amount of money will r<e invested there, and the manufacture of iron and steel will reach extraordinary proportions. It would not be at all surprising if some of the members of the institute should make large investments of money in Birmingham and other Alabama towns. They are shrewd men and are not afraid to act upon their judgments. They see that the south U making astonishing progress and that it is hardly possible for them to m ke a mistake in investing money in any of the southern states. The visit of the members of the British Iron and Steel Institute to Birmingham will stimulate tne iron and steel industry at that place greatly, because their very flat tering opinions of it having been widely published attention will be more strongly directed to it than ever before. Birming ham’s growth, although it has been phe nomenal. will be much greater in the next five years than it was in the last five. She is a very largo town now, but she bids fair to become a great city. The visit of the British iron and steel men is as big an advertisement as she has ever had, and it will do her an immense amount of good. The Typical American. There is no diminution in the popularity of Mr. Cleveland. If the national demo cratic convention were to be held to-m irrow he would bo nominated for President by an overwhelming majority. Unlike most other ex-presidents he has not sunk into obscurity. Ho has not been, and there is no probability that he will be, forgotten. While making no effort to keep himself before the public, he continues to occupy a conspicuous place in the public mind. It is not unusual to hear republicans say that if he is nominated in 1632 they will vote for him. Indeed, republicans a* well as democrats recognize the fact that ho is a very able man—ona in whom the pe jple can put their trust. He would have been elected in 1888 if it had not been for the immense sums of money which the repub licans used in corrupting voters in the doubtful states. Mr. Chauncey M. Depaw cannot be charged with partiality for Mr. Cleveland. Ho is a republican, and is frequently mentioned as a possible republican presidential candidate. At the dinner in honor of Gen. Roger A. Pryor at the Astor house, New York, the other day, in the course of a reply to a toast, he raid: “If lam to name the typical American, the man who loves and be ieves In his coun try beyond everything else, the man who, determining once in what direction his duty leads, cannot be swerved from tbe path, the man who is doggedly persistent in what he believes to be right, the man who thinks not of self, but of his country and its needs, I would name Grover Cleve land. Coming iuto the;bighest position iu the land without previous experience, he won the affection of his party and com manded the respect and admiration of his opponents. I find myself in one of the proudest positions of my life in being per mitted to present to you Grover Cleveland as tho typical American." That woB a complimsnt of which Mr. Cleveland has reason to be proud. And It is one all the more to bo appreciated because it contains so much truth. Mr. Cleveland is the typical American, and the people recognize that he is. He reached the presi dency by merit alone, and because he pos sesses merit it is highly probable that he will reaoh it again. When a strange burglsr entered the house of Mrs. Georgs Homan, at Tiffin, 0., very early Tuesday morning, ha didn’t know she was tho widow ef a sheriff. That ignorance brought him disappointment. He hail just loaded up about all the plunder he could comfortably carry when ho met Mrs. Homan by mere accident. Did aha crawl under a door metaud scream for the police! Not much. With fire iu her eye and ’arf a brick in each hand she went for that bur glar, yauked him into a back room, made him replace all he had stolen and then “stood him up” and went through his pockets. Though he was a big six footer and she was over (W years old, he was so amazad that he was afraid to be alone in the house with such a woman. As soon as he could get away he bolted. He had not e7ea the nerve to ask for his car fare. He was probably glad to get away with his clothes. As the police do not know his name nor auy of his relatives they ore not likely to catch him. Nor is he likely to prosecute the woman for goiug through his pockets. Successors to Justice Miller on the su preme bench are volunteering very rapidly although the dead justice’s robe still bas the wrinkles made in It by his last sitting. Partner Miller, who would like mightily to disguise himself in the robe and reputation of the dead jurist, is put clear out of the raoe by Senator Edmunds’ threat to defeat his confirmation by the Senate if he sh euld be nominated. Politics render the appoint ment of Judge Gresham (tho ablest man in view) unlikely, because be would be accred ited to Indiana, which has already over drawn her account. Then all the probabil ities fall in favor of Secretary Noble of the interior department. Beside being a very good lawyer, the secretary is iu high favor with tho President. So he seems to have the call oa the appointment. Still, no one is likely to be nominated before congress meets in December next. At tho annual meeting of the Interna tional Furniture Workers'Union of America ia Indianapolis it was resolved that the “object of the union is the abolition of the entire wage system.” In order to effec. that they pro ably intend to take possessio of the factories as fast as they can impress upon the owners the necessity of such a course, and then hire other men to do the work for wages. But they will find thai they have to hustle to get the neceisary wages than. PERSONAL. Mrs. Langtry is resting in Paris. Ex Got.

You are likely to encounter him. says the New York Su U. any evening in Broadway. The major is nothing if not superlative. The word “very" must he use l In describing him. He is very bald, very dignified, very decided la hie manne verr fOQd or terrapin, rerj moch ad dieted to whist, very particular wirh his dress, ▼wr devoted to his youn* wif* and very near sighted. But ail that doaen t prevent tb© major from beinr a capital o*d fellow, one of the most popular men of his club, where he may be seen early any even inf, for after dinner the major w Ves ° up to his youn* wife, goi:i£ to the thea e , opera, recaption, or what not Some times. but rarely, the major stays out late: not more than three ti;n. s a j*ear, however. Strange to say. when he has drums a little too m .ch JL ,n * th® major becomes as jealous a< a TurK. He imagines that his youn? wife is in lov; with every male friend who visits the house anJ trembles when he sets out for home lest he Lal an empty bed and a note saying that she has gone wit j a younger man. A few nizhts ago tie major returned from the club, to tell the hones: truth, in a state of unseemly intoxication-that is for h.m. He stumbled upstairs, bumped against the door, struck against tbe sharp edge of the table, and rebounded only to fetca up against a heavy dressing case. Then he steadied himself and reached for the gas. The tri bi was covered by a h *avy shade, so os to make the turning up of the gas It*ss likely to awaken the young wife. Hence as he turned the Ham© on. the room was only dimly lignted. Tie major s fl st motion was to glance at the bed to if the young wife was in her accustomed place, and he was transfixed by tne of a pair of black trousers on the bed. Tne major has his own dressing room, and he never w ould leave an article of his clothing iu his wife's bedroom. His first impulse was to shriek out the name of his wicked young wife, and then hunt for h.s revolver. Her name is Elizabeth, but he a! ways cails her Bess or Bessie, but this time Bessie wouldn't do. With a terrible flonrish of the arrn he straightened himself up and yelled: "Elizabeth “Why, major, is that you ? Is it very late ?*' she tranquilly replied. “Elizabeth, those trousers. I say “ “Oh. come to bed, you old ninny. That's only my divided skirt!” “Ha. ha!" roared the major, sinking limp and breathless into a chair. “I knew it; I knew it all the while. I was only fooling Bes sie.” Woman of the Present. The woman of the present is a sweet, alluring thing. And qnite as sentimental as the songs to-day we sing. She 13 fond of beau and dancing, and enjoys a merry time, And her followers declare that she's a creature most divine. The woman of the present is a paragon of style. But the fellow who can win her love deserves her sweetest smile. She's a girl whose fads and fancies often take us by surprise, Thouguat heart she may be honest and conser vative and wise. The woman of the present has a thousand charmiug ways, And despite of fashion's hobbies is a subject meet for praise; Despite tho imperfections that are common to us here. If she does er duty nobly, she'll bi noted in her sphere. The woman of the present loves to ming e in a crowd. But the choicest specimens you meet are neither vain nor loud. You'll flni her at the tennis court, and often book in hand, And when you walk or drive with her, you’re in enchanted land The woman of the present is inclined to flirt, it's said— We'll let that question go and ask if she oan make good bread; And farther ask if slo can mak) good cake and apple pie That would one's appetite appease and cause them not to die. The woman of the present, as wa leave her to her fats, We hope some day she'll win the love of a con genial mate; And what we cannot understand or fully com prehend. We trust she'll overlook and still consider us her friend. Moses Qags Shirley. Qoffatown, y. H. She Didn’t Understand Kissing. It has often been stated as a curious fact that Japanese women don’t know how to kiss, and on this point a retired navy officer tells a Chi cago Post reporter of an experience he had some thirty years ago with a charming Japa nese girl wltn whom he had become quite smit ten. He says: “It was a night that would have spurred the nost timid love to actida: and in side an hour’s quarter I had my olive-complex - ioned fairy waist-encircled and’her h -ad resting lightly on my shoulder. Then, Boswell, I kissed her. Wiio wouldn’t? You’re right, sir. No one but a bl;n t man whose time on this plai-et was long v rrtin. She seemed a bit surprised. But she made no objection and so I kissed her again, anti then again. But sh? didn’t return my chaste salute. She j jst nestled a little closer to me, that’s all. At last I got tired of mak ing all the demonstration. Iwa ited her to do her share. But as she seemed unlikely to do It unasked, why, I suggested tne propriety of her helping me out. She asked me wbat for’ Tnat’s what she did. Boswell! Asked mo what for! I inquired if she didn’t like it. She didn’t know. Then I inquired if she disliked it. She didn't know. She had never had anyone do it before, and had never tried to kiss anvone her self. I told her to try it once for luck’. But she said she couldn't. Boswell, you could have knocked me down with a feather. Howeve I recovered mvself and tried to teach her. She was a willing pupil, but beyond getting her to pucker her Ups Icouldn’t make her go The kiss was beyond her. She would blow through her lips or draw in a good-sire i breath But kiss she could not. Well, 80-well, lam not one to give up without a struggle. And I wa3 not then. So I taught and taught and taught, but it was no use. Sh* just couldn’t, that’s all. And at. last recognizing that fate was against me I gave it up, and until I left the island I was a changed man. I had in me the furnaces of a dozen Romeos, but a magi, though twice so we 1 equipped, cannot ir.ako love to an unresponsive piece of flesh. No more could I Since then. B. .swell, I have listened to ea ,-h song Rung in praise ef beautiful Japan with a smile of pity for the ignorance of the singer. Hustling Makes Him Thin. Dr. 9ehweninger, the famous physician of Bismarck, says the New York World , his gone on an extended tour of Europa with the object of increasing his weight. He has grown as thin as a rail, and his nervous system is thor oughly prostrated. He bslieves that if ho can increase his weight it will put him in condition again. This is the irony of fate Tne doctor is the latter-day nocromanc T of the fat. He has reduce-d the visible bulk of nearly all the great men in Europe, and, as his practice is almost entirely confined to persons of exalted station he is obliged to travel from one p.ace to an other. His professional engagements at the colleges ot Berlin moke it necessary for him to get back to that city every night, and hence the wear and tear on his system. If his tat and illus trious patients were made to hustle around after the fashion of the doctor they would grow thin fast enough. It may be added in connec tion with this subject that anew school of anti fat treatment has come up in London The creed i five hours in bed at night and no more than four hours in a chair altogether during the day According to their theory people grow fat. because they drink water or beer before bedtime and then lounge around in bed for ten or eleven hours. The new system is said to work very well on the accumulation of fat but it, is apt to try the temper and mental balance or the enthusiast who practices it Tho aver age man who read* of these elaborate schemes for tha reduction of flesh is usually impra-sed with the notion that fat people all over the world are engaged in a wild and fruitless effort to find some way out of the necessity for taking excise. Anything but work seems to be the Suspected His Own Greatness. Bismarck always had a kind of presentiment of the important part h* would play, and of the eminent services he would one day render to his country, and he was not backward in glvm~ expression to it. The authentic anecdote here given is sufficient proof of tnis. At the time when Bismarck wa* Prussian ambassador at Pans, the Hessian charge and affairs in France was Graf hnsenberg. It was this nobleman's hebby to collect the autographs of famous statesmen. On one of tne pages of his album Guizot had written the following ''AU throush my lo g career I have learned ng f ” r,f T * mU ° h aad ° fteD ' butt 0 f0f S et no.h M. Thiers had written underneath: . ' A little shortness of memory cannot detract from the sincerity of forgiveness ” Blsmarsk was asked to inscribe something on the same page, and so he wrote at the bottom • f As , myself, existence has taught mi to forget many things, and to get myself forgiven for a great manv more " Without appearing at first sight to be so, this was a much more pretentious sentiment than statwmem * ° f the two Frjßct BAKING POWDEH. % This is 1890. A Wise Choice. New York, July 23, IS9O. All other reports on Baking Powders signed by me or pur porting to be signed by me are based on investigations made several years ago. In view of the present controversy as to the purity and whole someness of baking powders, I have been requested to make a chemical examination of the leading brands found in the market My analysis of Cleveland’s Superior Baking Powder verifies the statement on the label, that the only ingredients used are cream of tartar, bicarbonate of soda (both of the highest purity) and a little flour to preserve the strength. My analysis also shows that “Cleveland’s Superior” is free from ammonia, alum, or other substitutes. Owing to the purity, strength, effective ness, and constancy of composition of Cleveland’s Superior Baking-Powder, I have adopted the same for use in my home. Hf.nry A. Mott, Ph. D., LL. D. Late U.

Speaking of the late Justice Miller, a writer in the Philadelphia Press says: “Like Justice Bradley, he was fond of mathematics, and be kepi up tils mathematical studies during his latter years. He started life as a drug cleric and spent three years in making up Descrip tions. He then went to a medical school in Kentucky and practiced medicine, after he had gotten his diploma, for eight years When he began to study law he took up the study of Latin and acquired a thorough knowledge of the language However, he always decried th • study of dead languages, and he said not long ago that he did uot think there was any neces sity for a mm to waste four years of his life in the study of dead languages. Said he: T think that the dead languages are unnecessary aud impracticable for the average raau They may do for rich people's sons, who will have an independent iucomc and who are training them selves for a purely literary life. As to boys who have to wake their wav in the world. I think they are useless, aud that the scientific studies are far more important.’ ” On the elevated road in New York the other day a gentleman who spent last summer in New Orleans said tome: "I saw recently in your notes mention of Mrs John A. Moms bringing out the two daughters of Gen. Hood of co crude-ate fame in New York society. I heard all about the Hood family in New Or leans. The general and his wife died there in 18i9 wituin three days of each other. They left a family of eleven children. I here were tevo pairs of twins and one set of triplets. The friends of Gen Hood were in dismay at wbat to do for such a family. Tbe old con federates were mostly poor men, and they could not see their way clear to provi e for such a large brood, when John A. Morris stepped in and assumed the entire responsibil ity of their education, mainteuance and pro vision for life. These two daughters have been educated in Germany, and are soft spoken, beautiful southern girls. One of the Hood sons is at West Point. The others are all cared for in various ways. It is one of the noblest undertakings I ever knew a rich man to make.” A friend of the Eyraud family tells us that Paris may shortly hear the daughter of the alleged murderer of M. Gouff u singing, under an assumed name, of course, either iu operetta or at one of the many cafes-chantanr-s with which Paris abounda, says Oalignuni's Messen ger. Mine. Kyraud hermit Is an excellent musician. Her daughter has no know ledge of the technique of music, bir, her ear is as keen as that- of Theresa, who kn :w nothing whatever of reading music, but who cojaj retain whole pages of melody after o.* hearing. Mile Eyraud is an uncommonly pretty brunette, w ith an excellent figure. Her occu pation of late has been to try on costumes at a fashionable Paris dressmaier's iu the Avenue l'Opera. She speaks with a mild provincial accent, and has just the winsome qualities which are required iu a singer of chnnsonuettes. Eyraud’s dauguter, although looked upon as a spoiled child, Is thoroughly- virtuous, and will doubtless have the cordial sympathy of those who know her came as they listen to her first attempts to wiu a reputation upon the lyric stage. In an article entitled “Under the Trees,” in last week’s Evangelist, the Rev. Dr. Henry M. Field writes in his usual delightful way about the trees on his couutry place in Stoc. bridge, Mass., which be planted twenty-dve years ago. "Now,” he says, "our positions are revered;asi have watched over them, they have come to watch over me; after such long care and pa . tience, I am sure they will not forsake me now. In this summer of illness they have been next to the dear household within in the way of companionship. Strong men who are full of lusty life, pushing forward on the world’s highway, know not how sweet a thing it is to have Such companions and comforters. We have come into a perfect understanding and silent communion. Those trees know me; they know when I am in a silent mood, and they keep very still, hardly a leaf stirring; and when th-y begin to move it is very gently, a-; if it were only to fan away the care that sits upon the troubled brow. Am I weary and downcast, one glance upward gives anew turn to my thoughts, as tne waving tree tops catch the burden from the spirit, and toss it into vacancy, where it is seen and felt no more.” Said a gentleman the other day to the New York Sun man: “I h-ard Mr. Morris the lottery man tell a great hog story in the Boston Club at New Orleans, while I was there. He owns a magnificent property on the Mississippi river above the city, which he las spent thousands'of dollars in cultivating as a flower garden, tie was bothered for two or three years after be began its improvement to keep the pigs out They would get in and root up the finest srork of his gardeners, in th# south it is tbs same t s horse stealing to shoot a neighbor's hog, no matter what devilment the beast may commit The bloodiest of fueds have been started in the south over the killing of a hog. So when Mr. Morris found that an old sow had some peculiar faculties for getting into his domain and committing serious depre dations he set half a dozen negro s to watch her and see how she got in. There was a stream running thn.ugh the place. At its entrance into the ground the barbed wire fence that sur rounded them was stretched over the water at its surface. One day the foreman on the place discovered the hog coming down this stream from the outside. When she reached the wire fence she dived under the water, came up on tbe other side, swam ashore and b-gan her rooting with gmnte of satistaction Mr. Morris himself saw her turne 1 out of the grounds and saw ber go through the same operation to re gain entrance before he barred the waterwav againßther.” •' While philanthropical people in England are agitating tho propriety of relieving the dis tressful condition of womankind In India, says the Ch cago News, the alien class in Cuinaare urging a reform in the education and treat ment of Chinese girls.
