Dividing land in severalty among the
Indians cannot even be done without giv
ing cause for charges of fraud. Now the
Chippewa Indians of the Lac du Flambeau
hand are asking for an investigation of
their case, declaring that tho list they pre
pared of members aud their selections was
suppressed by the Indian agent, and that
another list containing the names of non
residents and halt-breeds was forwarded iu
its place. This presents a very simple ques
tion of fact, and the interior departmeut
should determine it at once, and, if the
charge is sustained, punish all government
employes engaged in the fraud. What a
disreputable crowd of trioksters the gov
ernment does manage to get In the capacity
of Indian agents. No wonder the savages
scalp ouefliow and then.
By the overflow of the Hudson river near
Rondout, N. Y., millions of unburned
bricks were lost. It is estimated that 4,800,-
000 brick have been lost in the Kingston
district. Fires were put out in tbe kilns in
process of burning. Green kilns were
thrown down, and the brick underneath
tbe sheds were washed away. Cement sheds
suffered greatly. Coming close upon tbe
recent disastrous labor war, during which
all tbe yards were closed, this destructive
fioed is likely to send the cost of bricks
away up all along the line. Large numbers
of them are bought all along the Atlantic
coast from New York clear down to New
Orleans. Now that the winter supply has
been largely destroyed southern buyers will
have to depend upon local manufacturers
and tho well known Baltimore pressed
brick for supplies.
Recently n correspondent of the London
Graphic gave an interesting account of the
experiments in marine aeronautics made
last week at Wihelmshaven on board the
gunnery ship Mars. A captive balloon was
used, with two portable gas generators, and
a steam drum, on which tbe balloon cable
was wound. This drum was mouuted
amidship on the upper-deck of the Mars,
but the balloon was filled on shore aud
then allowed to float into position above the
Mars. Then the cable was unwound until
the balloon bad attained au altitude of
about a quarter of a mile. Meanwhile tbe
•wind was blowing with a force of between
three and four knots, and this caused tbe
balloon to drift nearly eighty yards
from the vertical. Communication be
tween the car and the deck was kept up
electrically by means of a core in the cable,
and tbe bight attained was found to give
the officer in the car a very extensive range
of observation. Afterward the balloon was
sent up as high as 650 yards and steered out
to sea. Prince Henry of Prussia and
Admirals Paschen and Von PnrvelsE
were present and supervised the experi
ments. This is rather a hazardous sort of
experimenting.
How Tariff Helps the Farmer.
What hypocritical and contradictory
rubbish the republican high tariff advocates
do talk, to be sure. To one man (or class)
they say one thing because they think it
will delude him into the belief that his in
terests are safe, and to another of o po
rt te interests they make claims diametric
ally different, and try to make him believe
that he, too, will be benefited by this flexible,
patent reversible tariff, warranted to bleed
everybody exotpt the owners of the ma
chine.
They are all things to all men.
When congress reduced the duty on bind
ing twine the republicans said they did it to
reduce the coet to consumers. Yet they
claim that the tariff doesn’t increase the
cost of anything.
When the duty on wheat and corn and
pork and other similar products was in
crease 1 they claimed that it was done in order
to increase the price of what the farmer
has to selL Still, they tell the workingman
who has to buy all these things that the
tariff does nqt increase the cost of the
necessaries /of life. Likewise they
tell the f workingman that they
placed p) heavy duty on manu
factured Articles to send up the price
so as to til jrd him higher wages. Yet they
have th ij bold effrontery to try to make the
farmei Relieve that hi* clothing and tools
and pHbvisions will not come any higher.
Iu fr A, the whole scheme of this impri ci
pled/attempt to bleed the whole country
to make big money for a few
fa Sored manufacturers and importing
* Avulators is based upon the assumption
/u't they can play the workingman against
/the farmer and badly dupe them both.
But the workingman as well as the farmer
is rapidly finding out that when a duty of $5
is put upon a $lO coat it makes the coat cost
sls. They are also discovering that the
h me manufacturer Is not religiously holding
down his prices. He puts on just as much as
he can, so as to undersell tho ini
ported article and monopolize the trade.
So that where ths duty is $5 on the coat
instanced above bo will add at least $4 to
his price and still undersell the foreign ar
ticle. But the farmers and workingmen
must all have coats, as well as other things
similarly taxed, and no great mathematical
skill is required to satisfy themselves that
such things now come much higher than
when the duties were down to a merely es
sential revenue basis.
Farmers should see without great diffi
culty that we raise a large surplus of the
products of the soil which we must sell
abroad, where no sort of tariff legislation
we might devise could affect the prices.
While the price of domestic clothing and
other necessities which the farmer must
here is the same as ths price of similar
goods made In Europe, with the ccst of
transportation and the American duty
added , tho price of American wheat
exported is the price fixed in the London
market, in competition with the w.ieat
erown by the so-called “pauper labor” of
India and Russia, with the c st of carrying
it from the farms of the far west deducted
after the sale. So we see that the farmer,
he pays the freight both ways, so to speak,
and the high tariff which does nothing to
pnhnnco the value of what he sells is work
ing day and night, as it were, to increase
the cost of what he buys.
Last year we imported $550,887 worth of
cattle subject to duty aud exported $90,000,-
000 worth of slaughtered meat and $16,(310,-
917 worth of beef cattle. This does not
show how the farmer is benefited by a pro
hibitive tariff.
Though we did not import one we ex
ported 45,138 live hogs. How does high
tariff help that! Against 178,857 pounds
imported we exported 15,504,978 pounds of
butter; we imported 8,307,036 pounds of
different varieties of oheere (not made here
and eaten only by epicures and immi
grants) and we exported 84,999,828
pounds of good, honest American dairy
cheese; we imported2,4o4 bushels of corn
and exported 69,582,929 bushels; we im
ported no corn meal and exp rted 312,181
bushels; we Imported 180,649 bushels of
wheat and 1,156 barrels of flour, and we
exporter! 116,414,129 bushels of wheat and
9,374,808 barrels of flour. Just how an in
crease of duties on his products and his sup
plies is expected to help the farmer is not
clearly apparent from these figures.
That conflict of crimination goes busily
on in London between Stanley and the
brother of tbe late Maj. Barttelot, who was
the pride of the British army and the
especial darling of the ladies before he
went with the explorers into the African
jungle to be slaughtered by savages. There
was a loud protest e gainst his going, and
a wail of anguish wben he died like the
valiant hero that he was. Osar’s lament
for Pompey might well have beau repeated
over him: “O that so mighty & warrior
should meet with so sad a fate.” Mr.
Stanley is coming iu for some pretty harsh
criticism for having permitted himself
to say as much as he has already said.
Maj. Barttelot’s brother has published a
letter condemning the course of Mr. Stanley
in making merely covert allusions to the
major’s conduct, while implying that it is in
his power to make definite and serious
Mr. Barttelot expresses his belief
that Stanley’s silence in tho matter is due
more to the flimsiuess of the charge he
darkly hints at than to the regard for the
major’s family which he pretends to feel.
It looks decidedly shabby for Mr. Stanley
to have left the poor fellow to die in the
jungle and then attempt to blacken his rep
utation, which had remained unsullied
through years of modern w arfare.
Congressman Charles Crisp addressed an
immense assemblage of democrats at Fa

with one of the most interesting addresses
made in Boston during many years on cur

his speech, Mr. Crisp was greeted with
three rousing cheers “for the next speaker

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1890.
Georgia Will nrtand by Go don.
Had the election fir United States Sen
ator taken piacs a fortnight since there is
little doabt bu: that Georgia would have
witness® 1 tbe humiliating spectac e of see
ing her distinguished son, John B. Gordon,
defeated by tbe machinations of a clique in
Atlanta who, by misrepresentations, had
poisoned the minds of such members
of tbe legislature as are controlled
by farmers’ alliances. No more
deplorable calamity oould have
befallen our great state than the success of
tbe wily and crafty professional politicians
who have assumed to control its destiub-s.
Fortunately the representatives of the dem
ocratic tarmors ot Georgia have had their
eyes opened to the truth, and In spite of the
efforts of the McCuoes and Livingstons
their alliance organizations are rallying to
the support of tho man who was a soldier
among soldiers when it was right to be a
soldier, and a statesman and a patri-1, in the
broadest sense of tlio3a words, in
times that brought into conspicuous
view the qualities arid virtues of
tbe men who deserve those honored
titles. Livingston may be “tired of
generals” and tbeir records in times
of peace, as well as in times of war,
but the patriotic people of Georgia have not
forgotten those who defended their comes
in thi gloomy and trying times that
are past. VVhei the names of Lee
and Jackson have been erased from history,
then will that of Gordon be forgotten.
Whether on the battle field or in the forum,
he ever served Georgians well, and fitly
Illustrated their manhood.
Members of the legislature will in time
understand that the people of Georgia de
mand that Gordon shall be their next rep
reseuta ive in the United States Senate, and
they will recognize that fact with a unan
imity which will overwhelm his onomies
when the contest comes.
Take Time by the Forelock.
What is known as the “Extension,”
namely, that part of the city lying south of
Anderson street, will bo subject to city tax
ation in three years from January next.
Until recently but little had been done to
warrant tho expectation that the city would
derive any appreciable income from it at
the expiration of the period mentioned.
But the present city council has given the
matter of opening streets in tbe “Exten
sion” some very necessary attention, and
there is now quite a fair prospect that be
fore the term of office of the present coun
cil shall have expired tbe right to all thor
oughfares In that locality will be securely
vested In the city.
There is, however, another important
work which should be done before the city
can justly levy tribute upon the owners of
property situated south ot Anderson street.
Water mains should be introduced, if not in
all, at least in the principal streets.
Recently an arrangement was made with
tbe owners of the Prendergast estate by
which water mains were put in the streets
opened through that property. Under this
arrangement tho expense incurred is Lome
by the owners, who are to be reimbursed
for tbeir outlay as soou as their
property becomes taxable under the
law. A similar plan is not feas
ible west of Bull street, where the un
improved land covers an area fully twenty
times as great as the Prendergast property,
and its ownership divid'd among
hundreds of people. If the water mains
are put in it appears that the city will have
to do the work. In this view of the situa
tion, would it not lie best to introduce them
at once and encourage the rapid improve
ment of the “Extension,” so that when the
time arrives to tax it there will
be a largely enhanced valuation
in improved as well as sal
able real estate to contribute to the city
treasury! A costly mistake was made when
previous city council neglected to secure
the rights of way for streets. There will be
an opportunity for making up that loss
when the property becomes taxable, if the
city will immediately proceed to make it a
desirable residence section by supplying it
with water.
Democratic Gubernational Candidate
Pattison is gunning for Pennsylvania edit
ors. Not long ago the Harrisburg Morning
Call, a strongly partisan republican paper,
published an article headed, "Robert E. Pat
tison, Stand Up and See What the Blaze of
tbe Calcium Reveals.” “The South Peuu

also appeared in the Philadelphia Inquirer
and the North American. linm diatel y
the ex-governor swore out warrants for tho
arrest of the editors who published the
story, charging them with libel. They were
promptly arraigned and gave bail for trial.
He and State Senator J. G. Gordon and
William S. Stenger, ex-Secretary of State,
swore that every allegation published in
the article complain'd of is false. That
looks like the true course for au honest man.
Before he is through with these over-zealous
gentleman he should manage to convince
them that enterprise of that character isn’t
profitable.
At the headquarters of the republican
congressional campaign committee at Wash
ington, it is announced that the democrats
throughout the country are now beginning
to use money lavishly in ail tbe doubtful
districts. Wnere they got all that cash is
not disclosed. As they are not In the "pro
tection” clique they cannot draw upon the
manufacturing monopolists, trusts and
speculative importers who were startei
and are now sustained by the plunder of
the public under the new high tariff law.
They do not contribute to democratic cam
paign funds. Nor are the clerks aud em
ployes of the departments in Washington
being bled for the benefit of the democrats.
All the money exhausted by that sort of
quasi blackmail is going to the republican
corruption fund, and tbe republican man
agers are using it where it will do that
party the most good, regardless of moral
ethics. This cry of "the democrats are
spending money” is merely a noise made to
divert attention from the hand the republi
cans have iu the public crib.

LETTER FROM HON. J. C. C. BLACK
TO AN ALLIANOBMAN.
Where the Danger Lies in tho Farmers’
Movement Why He Believaa tho
Sub-Treasury Bill to be Unconstitu
tional—Remedies Inside the Demo
cratic Party.
Augusta, Ga_, Oct. 81, 1890.
To Col. J. P. Austin, Cornell, Ga.
Yours of the 17tb last, has been received.
You ask for publication my views “on the
organization of the Farmers’ Alliance of
Georgia, and os a lawyer, of tbe constitu
tionality of tbs sub-treasury bill.”
All admit that the agricultural interests
of tbe country have suffered, and all sym
pathize with the desire to remove or lighten
the burdens that have so long oppressed
them. This desire ha* prompted them to
organize into what is known as the Far
mere’ Alliance, apd you ask for publication
my views on that organization.
The large and respectable class who com
pose it, deserves, and I believe eujoy9, the
respect of all other classes, I see no objec
tion to an organization of farmers to
promote tbeir interes s, just as mer
chants organize in their exchanges and
chambers of commerce, and lawyers iu their
bar associations. On the contrary, much
good, I believe, has bean and much more
can be accomplished by the farmers’ alli
ance. In its efforts to bring togetner the
tillers of the soil; to interchange views and
experiences, and to suggest r.ml adopt new
and better methods of cultivation; to en
courage the economy that does not despise
the fragments either in materials or tune;
to inculcate the importance of using every
thing that is produced in field or garden, or
barnyard, and of buying nothing that can
be produced at home; to form clubs to buy
in bulk on the best terms; to fight such
oppressive combinations as the jute trust;
to kindle and impart the spirit that comes
from organized brotherhood in everything
—in its efforts to accomplish these results
the al iance has done good.
I have no doubt that good has been ac
complished that could not have been at
tained without organization. By their or
ganized effort the farmers have not only
helped themselves, but promoted the wel
tare of all other classes, and for this should
be most cordially commended. While there
is much in the farmers’ alliance which I
heartily approve, 1 would be uncandid aud
unworthy of the confidence implied in your
request for my views, if I did not say
frankly that in mv opinion there are dan
gers in your organization against which
they should carefully guard. 1 believe our
Georgia farmers are" good men and good
citizens. Ido not suspect them of designs
against the public good or the integrity of
the Democratic party, upon the mainte
nance of which everything with us depends.
And yet there are tendencies which, if not
checked, may lead to disaster.
As I understand, yours was not intended
as a political organization, and now dis
claims, and no donbt boaeetlv, that you are
or intend to be, but what are the facts !
You have an organization—national, state
and county, and even in the sub-divisions
of the county. You have your leaders,
your organs, your assemblies; you make
and promulgate platforms, you nominate
and elect officers, you instruct them what
they must and what they roust not do, you
apply particular standards and tests, you
insist that candidates for the legislative and
executive departments of tbe State govern
ment, and both houses of congress, must
submit to be measured by your “yard
stick.” What else is necessary to constitute
a party ? Much of what you do is in secret,
apart from ma >y of your fellow citizens
and neighbors and friends in other pursuits,
and even from farmers who do nut belong
to your erder.
In the National Economist ol Oct. 18,
which is the official organ of the Nati nal
Alliance, there is an editorial review of the
financial legislation of the government for
some years, and concluding as follows;
"There are many other bills that might
be added to this list that would disci seas
little care for the interests of the people as
these already mentioned.”
Eoth parties are alike responsible for these
iniquitous laws as a gene: al rule. Doubt
less, if the real facts were known, they
would show a collusion between the leaders
of both parties.
Here is a clear, bold accusation against
the Democratic party, that it is as guilty of
the bad legislation complained of as the Re
publican party. In the same paper there
are other expressions which suggest the
danger I would warn against, such as “The
Reform Dress,” “Old Parties,” “Being Held
in Pariy Lines,” “The Independent Move
ment,” etc. In the Atlanta Constitution of
Oct. 14, two interviews are reported with
the Hon. L. L. Polk, president of the
national alliance, in one of which he says:
“The order is flourishing and in good con
dition. In my state they are trying very
hard to remain in the Democratic pirty,
but it looks as if they will not be permitted
to do so.” Here is a statement from the
highest official in the order, that in North
Carolina the prospeet is that the Demo
cratic party and the alliance will separate.
It is true that he pute the responsibility on
the party, but that doei not change the
fact tnat there may be division.
In the other interview Mr. Polk says,
speaking of his visit to Kansas: “There are
now three parties there—the Republican,
the Democratic and the People’s ticket or
Independent party, the latter the result of
the alliance movement. This is the first
electiou in which She People's ticket ever
figured, but they are confident of sweeping
the state." It is true he says: “Our mission has
nothing to do with local or state politics;”
“We are going to preach the Alliance gospel
and nothing more:" but in the same breath ne
announces a third party, outside and inde
pendent of the Democratic party, and the
result of the Ailiauce movement; and with
the delegates appointed bv the Georgia
Hlate Ailiauce he goes to bear fraternal
greetings to the Kansas Alliance.
Does not the character of your organiza
tion and its metbxis tend to excite antag
onisms in the party that may lead to
divisions and disruptions! Undoubtedly
you have the same right to organize as any
other class, but what right has any class
apart by itself in secret, with its own dis
tinctive and exclusive ritu Is and rules and
obligations, to organize for party or politi
cal purposes) It is in vain to say that you
have not organized for party or political
purposes, wheu vou demand that candidates
for offi e shall answer to your satisfac in
questions pr pounded by you, and st md
upon a platform not made by the party,
but by your organization. It is no answer
to say that in the nomination for offices you
have met in county, aud district, and state
conve tions, called by the proper authoritv,
and held under party rules. The rings and
cliques, of whose control you complain and
doubtless with justice in many instances
did this. They met at the proper times an,
places, and under party rules, but youd
complaint is, and ju tly, that they metr
only to carry out what had been agreed
upon among themselves, and in private
caucus. What would you think of any
other class that would organize to promote
its own especial interest, but claim that
it should furnish a standard by which every
candidate should be measured—a standard
that the party had never set up) If you
meet secretly to cousider the interests of
your members as farmers, I do not know
that any one could object, though I see no
reasou whv agricultural interests should bo
considered in private. But when you meet
to determine who shall make and execute
and interpret our laws, do you think it
right to exclude all other classes of your
fellow-citizens, and even some of the best of
your own? Can the Democratic party live
with classes in it, however large and re
spectable, that proscribe other members of
the party, and demand that thty shall sub
scribe to measures that the party has never
adopted, and which a large number of the
wiiett and best men in the party cannot ap
prove without stultifying themselves! How
could any organization, political or relig
ious. exist with a claw, although the greater
numerically, and otherwise most respecta
ble, that was not content with what was
written ia its platform or creed, but in
sisted on something more as a condition
precedent to an equal enjoyment in oil the
privileges of membership!
The farmers undoubtedly have a just
cause uf complaint against much of tbe
legislation tnat has been enacted by the
general government. But I submit that
the Democratic party has not been un
friendly to them. It has it* its platform,
by its press, and through its representatives
in both houses of congress, protested in their
name against this legislation.
tV hat interests ever had a bolder or abler
champion than they had in Mr. Cleveland!
Who is the representative in congress from
Georgia that has deser ed or neglected their
interests! Their only hope for any relief
from legislation is through the Democratic
party. They have a clear right to elect
whom they please from the party to repre
sent them, but tbeir political action should
be as democrats and not alhancemen within
tbe party lines, and by party methods.
In my opinion if the farmers' alliance con
tinues a political party it will either go to
pieces itself, aud thus fail iu accomplishing
the good it may do as an agricultural o dy,
or it will disrupt tbe Democratic party,
which would be a greater disaster.
In reply to your inquiry for my opinion
as to the constitutionality of the sub
treasury bill, I have to say that I am a dis
ciple of that school that as to the powers of
the general government, insists upon a
strict rather than a loose construction of
the constitution. The older I grow aad tbe
more I think on the question, the more
firmly am 1 convinced that the
opinions entertained by our south
ern statesmen and expounders were
correct and should never be surrendered,
however much we might gain ia material
prosperity. One of the most discouraging
signs of the times to oie is the fact that
views are entertained and proclaimed by
southern men and democrats that in other
times would not have been tolerated. In
many things we have made progress, in
many things we are wiser than those who
went before us, ar.d will appear foolish to
those who come after us, but in politics, as
in religion, there are certain fundamental
and essential principles, which have not
been and cannot be improved upon. One of
them is that this is a government of limited
powers—limited by a written constitution.
Our only safety is within tnat limit. If it
can be transgressed for one purpose or in
the interest of one class or section, it can for
any and all, and thus the party in power
would be without restraint. That congress
can do whatever it thinks bast is in my
opinion the rankest political heresy. But I
wander from the specific question you put
tome. You ask for my opinion of a par
ticular bill, and not a dissertation on gov
ernment In my opinion the sub-treasury
bill is unconstitutional. That it is no more
so than other bills congress has passed
may be true, but this is nothing in its favor.
Very truly yours, J. C. C. Black.

One of the governors of an English grammar
school complained to the head master that on
tbe previous evening he had seen one of the top
form boys flirting with a young lady. The head
master accordingly spoke to the occupants of
the said form in severe term* on the impro
priety of such conduct, and wound up his har
angue by saying that out of the consideration
for tbe parents he would not name the culprit,
but invited him to come into his private room
at the close of the lesson. That the governor's
acuteness of observation wos considerably be
low the mark was evident to the head master
when six crestfallen tup-form boys presented
themselves at the private interview'.

A Woman’s Sigh for Freedom.
From the London Hawk.
Oh, to be alone 1
To escape from the work, the play.
The talking every lay;
To escape from all I have done,
And all that remains to do,
To escape—yes, even from you,
My only lov -and be
Alone and free.
Could I only stand
Between gray moor and gray sky.
Where the winds and the plovers cry.
And no man is at hand;
And feel tbe free wind blow
On my rain-wet face, and know
I a:u free—not yours, butmy own—
Free, and alone!
For the sort firelight
And the home of your heart, my dear,
They hurt, being always here.
I want to stand upright,
And to cool m.v eyes in the air.
And to see how my back can bear
Burdens—to try, to know.
To learn, to grow 1
I am only you!
I am yours, part of you, your wife 1
And I have no other life.
I cannot turns, cannot do;
I cannot brea he, cannot see;
There is “us.”but there is not “me;”
Aad worse, at your Idas I grow
Con touted so.
His Name Was Taken Down.
A gentleman was complaining bitterly of the
lack of enterprise shown by the local papers in
printing the news. ‘The reporters never seem
to get onto anything nowadays,” he growled
“I don't suppose that any of them heard a word
about the sluggin ; that a prominent capitalist
gave a leading banker at the Windsor hotel last
Sunday.”
A newspaper man in the employ of the Ne
braaiea Sate Journal in hearing gave assurance
that he was In full possession of the facts.
‘Then why didn't you print tne story?” de
manded the stern critic.
‘ Do you believe that such things should be
printed?”
“Why, of course!” with a scornful snort. “Of
course: That is what the papers are for I
wouldn't suppress anything if I was running a
paper.”
The newspaper man took out his notebook
and made an entry of the name of the critic.
"What’s that for?” demanded the gentleman.
“To pull on you the next tims you get into
trouble like you did last March and come
around and want the papers to hush it up.
See?”
A dark brown silence fell on the group. In a
moment the critio lifted his voice.
“As soon as you erase me name,” said he. “I
will move an adjournment to the cigar stand."
