Another Republican Bcheme.
The Philadelphia Press, the levling re
j publican organ of Pennsylvania, having
recovered to •cm'? extent from the effects
i of tbe defeat which its party sustained at
the recent election*, com -s to the front in a
double leaded article in behalf of another
scheme for keeping its party in power.
The scheme is that congress shall fix tbe
limits of the congressional districts. It
seems to think that the present congress has
enough smart men iq its ranks to so grryw)
niander the states that the Republican party,
even with the odis against it, will be able
to elact not only a majority of the congress
men in 181)2, but also a majority of tne
presidential electors.
It insitsrs, with ail its vigor, that con
gress, as soon as it reassembles, shall pass
an apportionment bill, and, as if suggest*,
redistrict the states. It says that the new
census shows that the northern states
gaited a much greater percentage in popula
tion than the southern ones in the
last decade, and that, therefore,
the gain in congressmen and
electors will be almost wholly in the north.
It does not hint, of course, that there is a
suspicion in the public nued that tbe cen
sus returns were so manipulated by Mr.
Porter, the census superintendent, as to
make it appear that the gain in population
was far greater in the northe: n than in the
southern state*, with the view of benefit
ing tie Republican party. It is propabie
tbit democrats in congress wiii have a great
deal to say about Mr. Pcrter’s census
before an apportionment bill is passed. His
refusal to order a recount in New Y’ork city,
although it has beea quite satisfactorily
shown that there are about 290,000 more
people in that city than were returned by
the federa census enumerators, has raised
the question whether his census is at all re
liable.
The /Yes..' anxiety that an apportionment
bill shall Le at the earliest possible
moment, and it* suggestion that the present
congress shall designate the limit of the
congressional districts, thus depriviug the
states of a right they have al ways exercised,
are sufficient to justify the suspicion that the
census is a partisan one, and was purposely
made to show results advantageous to the
Republican party.
Tne suggestion that congress shall do the
districting will not meet with very
general favor from the people.
The encroachments of the national govern
ment upon the rights of the states have left
to the states out little of the power they
ones enjoyed, and they will not willingly
relinquish their right to define the congres
sional district lines within their respective
limit?. And it is far from certain that
congress has the constitutional rignt to
determine these lines, notwithstanding the
assertion of the Press that it has. The Re
publican party, however, never did have
any respect for the constitution, and unless
tbe democratic minority in congress can
prevent it, thie congress, in all probability,
will adopt the Press' suggestion.
A Strange Want of Appreciation.
There are some pieople in Charleston who
do not appreciate the efforts of Savannah
to give a portion of the people ot South
Carolina much needed railroad facilities.
The building of the South Bound, tho line
of which runs pretty nearly thr >ugh tbe
center of that state from the Savannah
river to the North Carolina line, has awak
ened Charleston from her slumber. Some
of the Charlestonians are disposed to be a
little cross at having tho quiet of their city
disturbed by the building of the South
Bound, and have said some unkind things
about that road and its construction com
pany. One of tbe things they have said is
that it is a speculative scheme, and another
is that it is doubtful if it will lie built.
Of course they are oxcusuble to a certain
extent for being vexed, hecause the South
Bound will not only help Savannah won
derfully, but will have rather a damaging
effect upon South Carolina system of rail
road*. They are mistaken, however, in
encouraging the idea that the road will not
be built. The fact is, tlie road is being con
structed with all possible speed. Tho con
tractors are pushing it forward as fast as
they can, and the only thing that is com
plained of is that they don’t push it along
faster. The roa drawbridge, which is to
span the Savannah river, is being built,
and although work upon it has teen delayed
a little, it will be completed in good time.
It can bo stated pretty positively that the
South Bound will be completed before the
end of next year, and when it is completed
it will be about the best railroad in the
Eouth, and its equipment will be unsur
passed by that of any other southern rail
road.
There is plenty of business for the several
sea port3 on the South Atlantic coast, tho
greatest of which is Savannah, and the
next, of course, is our sister city of Charles
ton.
An exhibition run of the •‘carette,’’ a di
minutive street car without a track, which
bar been in use in Chicago for several weeks,
was given in Philadelphia the other after
noon. This httle “carette” is light and easy
in motion, and no jolting or discomfort was
felt in riding in it along the part cobble
stone paving of the street. It cannot run
on tho ordinary street car track, the dis
tance between the wheels being greater
than the oar track width. It avoids delays
and blockades, aad stops at the curb to re
ceive or discharge passengers. It seats
twenty persohs, is drawn by two horses and
has a conductor and a driver. Tt is said to
be very popular in Chicago among the
ladies and children, and would probably
prove rather convenient for the streets of
Savannah.
Late advices from London state that Mr.
Stanley will legally prosecute Capt. AV niter
and others who have brought
charges against him in connection with the
controversy egarding the rear guard of
the Emin relief expedition. Mr. Stanley
has retained Mr. George Lewis and Sir
Charles Russell to conduct his case. If this
threatened action ever gets into court it
will probably bring out the truth of the
whole story. But threat! of prosecution
have so often been used to allay public sus
picion that this cannot be serious y regard
ed until some definite action shall be taken.
And Mr. Stanley owes it to hnnseif to be
gin and push the prosecution without
further delay.
Germany i3 about to reduce her import
duties ou grain, but in a way that will hurt
j rather than benefit the United States,
which country, with Russia, is to lie shut
out from the benefits of the reduction. This
proposed discriminating tariff is intended to
promote trade with Austro-Hungary. Still
Germany doesn’t seem to be a country that
could well afford to shut herself out from
general commercial intercourse with the
world, as this discrimination is likely to do
a. for her.
THE MORNING NEWS : THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 13. 1890.
A Word of Warning.
In his letter, expressing regret that be
could not be pres at at the c lebra’iou in
, Savannah of the democratic victory. Hoa.
Toimai F. Biyardra.d; “Let u* hope the
democratic majority of the next House of
Representatives will cot for git the condi
tions upon which popular conddence can be
1 retained, nor underrate tneir great re
| sporisibilities.”
There is a warning in toe above which
Lthe democrat c maj rity in the next con
gress should heel. If the Democratic party
uses its power with the so.e oojeit of bet
\ terinj the condition of the people and pro
m ting the prosperity of the country it will,
in Dr.ri, in all probability, be intrusted with
the administration of the government. Its
coarse ia the Fifty-second congress will be
closely watched ar.d al! it* mistakes noted.
Parties are but the agents ot tne people,
and when they neglect the people's interests,
or ignore them, the people withdraw their
confidence from them and put them in the
minority to be disc:plined.
The Republican party began to think it
was the master of the people. It burdened
them with enormous tares and the taxes
went into the pockets of the few who fur
nished the party with its corruption fund.
It attempted to enact partisan legislation in
order to intrench itseli in power by tbe help
of the ignorant millions of blacks whom it
proposed to drive to tbe polls to voto the
republican ticket, and this sort of legis
lation public sentiment would not
sustain because it was unjast, and because
it would have injired the business interests
of the country. It wasted hundreds of
millions of dollars of the people's money in
pensions not so much bocauso it wanted to
do justice to the veterans of the civil war
as to hold the soldiers' vote. Tne people
virtually said that the public treasury
should not be raided for party purposes.
The Democratic party is the party of the
people. It ought to know what the people
need. It does know, and if it uses its vic
tory in a wise and conservative way in
meeting the people's needs it will be given
not only tbe control of the government, but
also a long lease of power.
Mr. Samuel Plimsoll, an English member
of parliament who ha3 done much for poor
Jack the sailor, is attempting now by legis
lative enactment to bring about the prohi
bition of the importation into the United
Kingdom of live cattle from any port or
place west of tbe twelftth parallel of west
longitude from Greenwich, if intended to be
sold for food. The recent loss of the cattle
ship Erin, with all on board, has attracted
attention to the overcrowding of such ves
sel-; and to the terriblo suffering* of the ani
mals, as well as to the dangers to human
life; and the crusade in which Mr. Plimsoll
is engaged seems to be eminently humane.
It is claimed that meat—not frozen, but re
frigerated—will not suff-r in quality by a
transatlantic voyage, and if this be so tbe
movement in question should be encour
agod. It would be a measure of economy
in freight charges, beside giving work to a
gre it many people on this side.
Citizens of Richmond have inaugurated
a movement for the purpose of erecting in
Virginia a suitable monument to Com
mander Matthew F. Maury, of the United
States navy, who has bean called “The
Pathflnder of the Sea.” Not ohly the nau
tical, but also the commercial world owe a
debt of gratitude to Maury for his contri
butions to maritime science. He was the
first to mark out specific routes to be fol
lowed in crossing the Atlantic. He also in
stituted the system of deep sea-sounding,
and was the first to suggest, the establish
ment of telegraphic communication be
tween the continents by ocean cable. For
eign governments and institutions of learn
ing. vied with each other in doing honor to
this great thinker and discoverer; and it
would be a worthy tribute to his memory
to perpetuate it in brouze or marble. And it
is a tribute in which the whole country
should tat,e part. For his work has bene
fited alike the whole world.
Great Britain’s b>ardof trade has issued
stringent regulations to secure the safety of
the public from the dangers attending the
use of electric currents of high tension. In
general consumers are to have a low pres
sure supply only, but it is stated that “ou
joint application of the consumer and the
underteker the board of trade may permit
of a high pressure supply for special pur
poses.” In England the word undertaker
does not have the special meaning to which
it is restricted in this country. This seems
to be only a proper regard for public
safety which might well be emulated iu
this country.
Judge Lumpkin, elected associate justice
of the supreme court the other day to suc
ceed Justice Blanford, is, only 42 years of
age. Ha is a graduate of the state univer
sity, being a member of the class of 1868.
He was solicitor general for five years and
senator for one term. He was judge of the
Northern circuit, with two years to serve,
when chosen associate justice. That he is
an exceptionally able man is admitted bv
all who have had an opportunity to
of his ability.
Recently M. Dymasinski, a novelist, was
engaged by the Warsaw Courier to accom
pany, in disguise, a party of Polish immi
grants to Brazil and write up their experi
ences in a series of novels. This sounds like
American newspaper enterprise, with the
difference that an American newspaper
would be more apt to instruct its corres
pondent to stick to the facts and let the
fic ion go. That is the chief difference be
tween European and American ne .vspaper
methods.
Lord Hartiugton seems to have practi
cally adopted the principle of home rule.
He has no objection to it for Scotland, be
lieving that Su itchmen would use it wisely
and well. But he distrusts the advisability
of granting it to Ireland for fear that the
power would bo abused. Yet he has reached
a point where argument may win him over
to the Irish as well as the Scotch cause,
fi’hat the Irish should do now is to demon
strate their capacity to wisely govern them
selves.
Trusts and combination! will have to be
ca eful. At the suit of the people the Chi
c go gas tru t, a mammoth corporation,
was fin id $lO and costs the other day. But
that small fine carried with it sweeping
order forever disbarring the trust from
holding stock, even a minority, of any
other gas company or electric light com
pany. Yet it is by no means clear that the
court had ary such legal authority under
the national constitution.
Monday last the Lord Mayor of London
was duly installed, with the customary pomp

He smiled and then asked: “What sort of a
woman do you refer to?"
*‘Weil, take for example the woman who
mounts the stump to make a political speech.* 1
The smile vanished, and in its stead came

A'Qe‘s friends will recognize.

M **l have observed. r continued Mr. Blaine,
"that on *reat occasions it is almost always
women who have driven us the strongest proofs
of virtue and devocion. The reason for this is
that, with men. either go and or bad qualities are
the result of calculation, while in woman they
are the result of impulses, and impulses usually
spring from the best that is iu us. 1 '
A Soldier’s Idea of Fun.
have heard different versions of what
constitute 1 fun, but we hear! anew one the
other day from an old soldier, says the West
Chester *Pa ) R>co and.
At Gettysburg, about the time of Pickett's
charge, tn- relator was stationed down toward
the e.lije of the wheat field and ne was s-nt out
in charge of a squad to reliive the picket in a
copse of woods.
Meeting tae sergeant he was to relieve
he as iced him what hs orders were. He was
informed, end among other things the pickets
wero not to fire.
“Why," said the relieving sergeant, "they are
firing right now. Why don't yon stop them*'* 1
"Oh. well, they are just having a little fun in
there. The confederates have got possession of
a stretch of stone wall and our boys swear they
are going to take It away from them.”
Our informant wont in and coon he and his
men were as deep in the "fun” as their prede
cessors, notwithstanding their orders not to
fire. They kept it up, dodging behind trees and
working around the woods until they got a
re. ran in on the stooe wall and captured
it. They had their fun and accomplished tneir
object.
He Nearly Missed It.
hen a young newspaper man was married a
short time ago, says the Sew York Tribune , his
arrangements at theofflee were such that it was
impossible for him .lust then to go away on the
usual bridal tour, "Nerer mind, dear,” said he
to his wife, "we will have our tour later, and it
won't be so bad after all, for we will have all
the more money then to enjoy it with." The
young bride was somewhat disappointed, natur
fdly. but was happy enough when she had set
tied down to home life with her husband in cosy
apartments up town.
At last the youug man got a vacation and
made arrangements for the tour without having
taken which no bride ever oould be supremely
nappy. The trunks were bemg naked when
the husband handed the wallet to his wife, say
ing. “You had better take care of that, dear
All our money is in it and it will Be safer with
you than with me,” Thu wife was wonderfully
pleased at the great financial trust reposed in
her, and she determined that no robber should
pick her pocket of the treasure. Her husband
had gone out to arrange for a carriage, acd th
bride, hoping to do something t.oat would be
regarded especially prudent, placed the wallet
in the bottom of the trunk containing a lot of
dresses and other things. Tnis happened to be
a trunk that was to go as excess baggage, and
was calledf jr in advance of the re- 1 of the lug
gage. The trunk was sunt nwav. aud later the
regular baggage wagon came around for the
rest of the luggage.
The young couple drove to the station where
the young man said: "Let me have the wallet
ana I’ll go buy the tickets.” T e bride turned
pale, turned red. and at last began to cry. “I
put it in the extra trunk,” she sobbed, "to no
one could steal it from me.”
"Thedeuce!" exclalmei her husband, who
was in a serious dilemma. He soothed his bride
however, saying It would come out all right.
Hurrying to the baggage room be found that
the trunk had gone ny express an hour hefnr
checked through to Niagara Falls, as had
been arranged for. The intention had
been to save expense by sand
ing the extra baggage through to Niagara Falls,
as it was not needed at once, the couple desir
ing to siiend a day or two at other points not so
far away. The young man had only some
small change left Leaving his wife at the
station he rnshed down town to the office and
explained affairs to the cashier, wno gav e him
the money needed to carry out his plaiiß. The
tour began with a later train, and the wallet
was recovered al! right. The cashier thought
the story too good to keep, and when the young
man caine back it was always his turn "to treat”
for a week
Met a “Bunco Steerer.”
A well-known artist tells a story of “fere
warned, forearmed.” AVhen he was a student
in Boston, says the New York Tribune, he and
several others boarded with a woman whose
husband was a detective. The detective told
them from time to time stories about interest
ing experiences which be had had and explained
the methods of carrying on “bunco games.”
There are few nnv “bunco dodges.” Nearlv
all of them are variations of one or two stock
schemes.
“Among other things which the detectives
told us.” said Mr. L in giving the story to
his friends one evening, “is an epigram in
which Robert G. Ingersoll aiso believes. It is
that the man who begins a statement with a
yawn is a liar. I tell you this now, although
tne yawn comes in later. I had often heard mv
friend, the detective, tell of the ‘diamond
game.’
“I was reading in a car once on my way from
Boston to New York long after I had lost sight
of the detective when someone behind me
c apped me vigorously on the bacx, saying:
‘Hello, Charley, old man.’
“ ‘Mv name isn't Charley.' I said sweetly.
“ ‘Oh, I beg your pardon,' said the man who
had slapped me so generously. 'I thought you
were a friend whom I often meet on the road,
lama commercial traveler- drummer*, we cali
ourselves.’ Then he went on to another seat
Presently he came back
“ ‘ls this seat engaged?' he asked.
“ ‘Oh, no,’ I answered pleasantly.
“ T hope you will excuse me for my rude
ness,’ he said. T felt very much like a fool
when 1 saw what I had done.'
“He chatted entertainingly for a while, and
seemed a very decent fellow. Taen he yawned
and I looked at him.
“ -My uncle died the other day.’ said he
’“Did he?’
“ ‘He didn't treat his nephew very gener
ously.’
“ 'H-m-m.’
“ He was pretty well off, was my uncle, and
he left none of his money to me.’
“He yawned.
•Nothing except a ring. I don't care for
rings myself, but he always wore the dia mond
—prized it highly. It is said to be worth $290 or
S3O . I never wore a ring in my life.’
“ ‘Have you got the ring with you?’ I asked
“ ‘Oh, yes, I have it in ray pocket.’
“ ‘How much is it worth?'
“ ‘lt isn’t worth much to me, because I have
no use for it.’
“ ‘Wha - w ould you take for it?”
“‘Oh. anything—s3o, say.’
“‘1 couldn’t afford to give that much for a
ring.’
“‘Well, say $25.'
“ 'That's a little more than I could afford.’
"The drummer turned the stone in his hand
and looked at it. In the seat behind us was a
man wuo, i knew, was watching us and listen
ing. He had leaned forward until his head was
over the back of our seat. He was so near that
I could feel his breath. 1 understood that he
was waiting to s e if I should allow myself to
be'buncoed.' I threw my head back against
the cushion and tilted my bat over my eyes
The drummer was still meditating over the ring
“‘See here. Jimmy.' I said, "I got six months
for the same game, see?’
"The man behind me burst into a roar of
laughter.
Jove' said he, ‘I thought you were
booked The 'drummer' was scurrying down
the aisle, making for another car.

In Manitoba and the western part of British
.America, where I spent some time this summers
I came in contact with a very peculiar race of
Indians, They belong to no particular tribe,
and, in fact, to no particular race, having In
dian, Scotch anti French blood in their veins,
ihcy are the descendants of tbe old Scotch
agents of the Hudson Bay Company and their
Indian wives, with a dash of French blood from
the Canadian woodsmen. Their hair is fre
quently of a li .ht brown, and wavy. They
speak bad French, and all have the broad Scotcn
b*ii*r. Trier hold themselves aloof from the
full-blooded Indians and the French half-bloods.
They are the best carriers to be found, tor no
other Indians can compare with them as run
ners. Sixty miles a daj* is no uncommon jour
ney for them. By constant inter marriage they
have preserved and Btr*ea&thened their pecu
liar i ties, and consider themselves a separate
tribe. They number about 5,090.
There are a vast number of fine dresses from
all parts of the world in the national museum,
and the most extraordinary article of this kind
is the S 1.000,000 feather cape. This comes from
the Sandwich Islands, and is made up of red
and yellow feathers so fastened together that
they overlap each other and form a smooth
surface T.iese feathers shine like the finest of
floss si.k, and the red feathers are far prettier
thna the yellow ones. It is the yellow feathers
howeveMhat are expensive. They are about
an inch long, and are worth in the country
m. w h‘ they are found 50 cents apiece.
They were in times past taken for raxes bv me
Hawaiian kings Tkey are taken from a little
bird known as the Uno, which are very diffi

yellow feathers under his wing, and the birds
are caught ia traps and the feathers are pulled
out and they are then fre and There is a
in the museum from the Prince of the Sand
wich Islands, who states that it took mo e
than 100 years to make this cape, and the au
thorities of the museum say that it is worth
more than the finest diamond in the English

In plastic art we find that the debt it owes
to woman is less for work than inspiration;
from ts beginning her influence has been the
mainspring of iis development. The story is
very beautiful: in the middle of
the seventh century before Christ a pot
ter lived in Lyconia and there fol
lowed his art. He had a beautiful daughter
n med Kora. Although were obliged
to go veiled in the market place her crace and
bearing won the ardent admiration of a
strange youth. He sought to be
employed by the pott-r as an assist
ant and succeeded, still further gaining his
wish by securing a place in the j’ounir girl'*
heart. The life of the father, daughter and
lover was an ideal of Grecian simplicity and
beauty. AVhen the time came for the lovers’
temporary separation they were sad. The last
evening, as they sat together. Kora noticed the
shadow of her friend’s profile on the wall, and
taking a piece of charcoal traced the noble out
line. The next day her father, seeing the sketch
and recognizing the likeness, filled it in with
clay, so modeling it as to represent the young
man's features. Thus we have made the first
portrait medallion.
Qi een Victoria's dairy is of stone, erected,
as the inscription on the frieze tells us. in the
twenty-first year of Victoria's reign. It is at
tached to the dwelling house of the dairy
woman, or rather the dwelling house is at
tached to it. The day was oppressively warm,
and the transition from the outer air into its
cool, dimprec.ncts was most grateful The
room is S7 feet long by 23 wide. It is lined
throughout -floor, wall*, and high roof -with
tiles iu cool tones; bass reliefs on some'of these
tiles represent the seasons aud kindred subjects
Medalion busts of the royal family are inserted
in the walls. The dairy was built before tho
marriage of the Prince of Wales, and of those
who have married Into the royal family the only
medalion is that of the late Emperor Frederick
On small brackets at one eud
stand marb.e busts of Victoria and
Albert. By way of added decoration, bits of
precious old cjina are ranged on snelves in
sba low r-cesses. Under the tables the floor is
suuk a few inches, and this cavity is filled with
water, while a pretty fountain in the center of
the room is constantly playing. The rec-pta
c.es for milk are of white china rimmed with
gilt, and tne cr-am. to the eye. was delectable,
the blitter, of w hicb numerous pats lay upon
tbe cool marble, was truly golden, though not
more so than I have seen in New Engla and Kitch
ens. The dairy woman, who was Scotch said
it was the buttercups which the cows ate that
gave to it its golden hue, “Do you think so*’’ I
said. “Certainly," was the reply. “Butter is
always yellow after buttercups come. And’’—
triumphantly—'that’s why they are called
buttercups, hecause they make the butter yel

To the traveler and tourist no spot in East
ern United States is of more interest than Sul
livan county. New York, whose confines contain
more picturesque beauty than any area of like
dimensions east of the Rocity mountains Its
shaded vale, and abrupt, wooded hills loftv
ridges of the latter often taking on all the
characteristics of true mountain, are the origi
nals of many of the fine paintings that gra-e
the spacious parlors of the New York, Philadel
phia and Boston K millionaires. Picturesque
scenery is. however, not the only claim Sullivan
county has on the attention of people who reg
ularly make sight-seeing trips. Within its
limits nature has left evidence of some of her
most astonishing freaks Joseph McLaury owns a
farm in Sullivan county, the title to which also
gives him possession of the famous New York
"rocking stone," the greatest curiosity in New
England. At first sight it probably would not
attract more than passin g notice, but it is when
a second and closer observation is made that the
wonderful and delicate hand of nature is seen
both in its composition and the remarkable po
sition which it occupies. The total weight of
the immense boulder has been variously esti
mated at from forty to sixty tons, and its bulk
at from 500 to TOO cubic feet. It is almost per
fectly round, much resembling a huge orange
and so nicely balanced on a table of stone as to
be easily set in motion by a single man provid
ing the operator exerts his strength on the
north or south sides. On either of the other
sides the combined strength of forty elephants
would not be sufficient to cause t e least oscil
lation. Although it can be rocked Pack and
forth with perfect eaee, all tin men that could
£et around It would not be equal to the task of
it from the pivot upon which it has
rested since the days of the stone age man, the
cave bear and the glacial epoch. The Me-
Laury farm, upon whiou it is situated, is iu
au elevated vadey some 1,500 feet abov * the sea
level. The body of the o6Jiliatinsr mass is
composed of a species of soft sandstone, which
has become loose and badly decomposed by ex
posure, ali except the portions underneath,
which are still intact an I solid.
