Senator Daniel of Virginia Is accredited
with tno statohn it that “if the democracy

it can elect any good candidate in 189.3.”
In the vernacular of Oracle Dana, "that

Bircball’s widow has gone to England. She

Nevertheless the authorities choked him off,

Biroliall himself—lie unit a-kickin’.
New E iglaud descendants of the pilgrim
fathers are to erect a statue to their ances

There are 115 women on the world’s fair

Judging D m the returns, it appears
that the most lawless and benighted
people in the mountain pastures
of Kentucky are republicans. No wonder
teat the intelligent people of the stato turn
out 80,000 democratic majority to suppress

Hearing of the continuous grind of news
paper work, Mr. Gladstone has presented

Field will have an ax to grind.
Buenos Ayres is said to be in trouble.
Several credit houses have closed. There
was such a tumult on the bourse that the
police were called upon to quell the dis
turbance. Another dispatch says that
President Pellegrini has issued a decree
suppre-sing the publication of the official
bourse quotation of the premium on gold
and obliging bill discounters to quote paper
exchange on Europe. Baring’s difficulties
seem likely to swamp somobody vet. Still
there is little, if auything, to be gained bv
suppressing the truth.
WUI They Heed the Warning?
Reed. Mo Kir lev. Lodge and the rest of
th republican leaders of tbe House who
have returned to Washington say that the
disastrous d-feat which thoir party suffered
in the November elections will not cause
them to change in the least the c nurse which
they marked out at tbs beginning at the
present congress. McKialey says that the
pe Die will approve his tariff when they get
a better understanding of It, and Rood and
Lolge insist that the Senate shall go right
ahead and pass tbe force bill. They propose
also to pass an apoortion-nent bill by which,
in all probability, they will endeavor to get
some advantages for their party.
They are not, h iwaver, in as happy a
frame of mind as they pretend to be. They
recognize that they have been severely con
demned by the people, and they are trying
to hide their real feelings by claiming that
the overwhelming defeat of their party does
not mean that there has been a permanent
change in the polit cal sentiment of the
country, and, he ice, hasn't much signifi
cance. They say t tat the dom ter its, hav
ing such a large majority in tbe next House,
will m .nage so badly that the people will be
disgusted, and will send a majority of re
publicans to the H >use in tbe Fifty-third
congress. They even go so far a3 to assert
that if the de nocrats obstruct legislation
this winter the President will call an extra
session iu the spring, and that the respon
sibility for such a session will rest upon the
democrats.
All this sort of talk means nothing. The
republicans during the remainder of this
congress will not be as aggressive a id over
bearing as they have bee l. Although they
will not admit it, they have bee i taught a
lesson, and although they may make a show
of passing the force bill, they will take good
care not to do so. Too President may urge
the passage of that bill, and tbe republican
leaders may insist that It shall be passed,
but they will see to it that it does not reaoh
a vote.
The republicans will,of course, attempt to
paean apportionment bill,based upon Supt.
Porter’s census, but it is far from certain
that they will succeed in doing so. Unless
they offer a very fair bill, the democrats
will oppose it, because it is notorious that
the census is incorrect. New York had
her population enumerated by the police,
and found nearly 300,000 more people than
Supt. Porter’s census give* her, and Balti
more, aLo, not satisfied with tbe
work of the federal enumer
ators, had her population enumerated
by her police. Her police found many
thousands more people than Supt. Porter’s
enumerators. Indeed, in all parts of the
country there is complaint about the incor
rectness of the census. Senator Jones, of
Arkansas, deolares that he believes that
300,000 people were missed in his state, and
Senator Vance, of North Carolina, says
that his state has been cheated oat of at
least 150,000 of her population.
It is somewhat remarkable that in demo
cratic strongholds Supt. Porter’s census
shows the population to be much less
than it Is believed to be. Commenting on
this condition of affairs. Senator Vance
says that it looks as if there was a conspir
acy to reduce the democratic representation
in congress and iu the elect trial college.
In the face of so much evidence that the
census Is incorrect it would be manifestly
unjust for this congress to pas3 au appor
tionment bill, and the democrats will pro
test against auv such bill, notwithstanding
the threat<f republicans about au extra
session of congress iu the spring. If the
democrats do what they ought to, and what
the country will sustain them in doing,
they will demand that another enumera
tion shall be made. IVbat is wanted is a
a correct enumeration, and the whole eoun
try will sustain a demand for it.
Notwithstanding the assertion of the re
publican leaders that they will not heed tbe
warning they received Nov. 4, it is quite
certain that they will not carry things with
such a hig i hand as they have been doing.
They are not so foolish as to treat tbe warn
ing with contemptuous indifference.
When a man voluntarily attempts to
starve himself just to show people that ho
can go hungry, he really deserves to suffer
all the consequences. One thing is certain:
Though he may a little cheap notoriety
he assuredly cannot got fat that way.
Sued, the Italian amateur cadaver in JNew
York, is rapidly makingroom in the world
for another man. From be has re
duced his weight to 121 X pounds within
twenty days. But he gets the notoriety he
craves. Regarded as a freak, he gets all
sorts of cranky propositions through the
mail. One came from two simple sisters
who offered to play the piano for him. Only
think of a man starving to slow music. He
says he intends to visit a music hall at the
expiration of forty-six days und allow the
public to see him eat. If he doesn’t ride all
the way some stray dog along the route is
likely to devour him for a bone.
Col. B. Bill is to take a whack at the
giddy old bucks on the Sioux reservation,
at the head of the Nebraska state troops, of
which he is commandant, wo are told. CoL
Bill can plug an ludiau at long range with
the next man, and the red cusses know that
soma So they are not likoly to monkey
with the colonel much if he turns out with
blood in both eyes. Since these ludians are
just spoiling for a tight and have no fash
ionable clothes to wear iu the hauats of
civilization, why not let Col. Bill take them
to Africa, where the climate is comfortable,
a id let them fight it out with the black citi
zens who are fond of a round-up?
Now that unfortunate Ray Hamilton’s
adventurous "wife” is again at large we
may expect to hear soon that some othe.-
equally susceptible and foolish gudgeon has
been hooked and landed. That any person
claiming an iota of selt-respect could sign
a petition for the pardon of such a creature
is almost incredible. Yet it was done.
Thus she gained freedom. Such a w man
is capable of incalculable harm and should
have been kept confined as long as possible
for the good of the public. Now she will
immediately proceed to grasp for Hamil
ton’s estate, but it is unlikely that she caa
get any of it.
Tuesday morning the two Brazilian war
ships, Aquidabau and Guaaabara, cast

our national friendliness in recognizing the

cordially welcomed to the “Land of the

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1890.
Ingalle and the Alliance.
The Kansas alliance is hostile to John
James Ingalls, senator from that state.
The majority of the legislature of Kansas
are aliiancemen. They were elected with
tbe understanding that they would permit
Senator Ingalls to retire to private life. It
seems that tbe alliance looks upon him as a
monopolist and an agnostic.
But Senator Ingalls is a very smart man,
and he doesn’t want to be retired. He has
an idea that he is peculiarly fitted for
shining in the Senate, and it must be ad
mitted that he shines there with a good
dial of brilliancy.
A dispatch was published tbe other day
which c interne I the statement that Mr.
Polk, president of the National Farmers’
Alliance, was working for Mr. Ingalls', re
election, aud that the Kansas alliance felt
that President Polk was meddling with
matters w.dch did not come within the
ra ige of his legitimate duties.
Is it not a little remarkable that these
alliance bosses should be sticking their
fingers in every pie* In this state Dr. Ma
cuue, it is alleged, traveled all the way
from Washington to assist CoL Livingston
and other state alliance bosses to elect Mr.
Calhoun senator. Very properly t.ho alliance
men of the legidat re sat down uponMacune,
Livingston, and others, and th9y are not in
quite as high favor with the alliance of the
state es they were before they undertook
to boss the aliiancemen of the legislature.
The first thing the alliance bo ses aim to
do is to gat offices for tiiemselvos, and the
next is to say who shall have the offices
they cannot get, or do not want. Alliance
men will begin to think after awhile that
the mam object of these leaders is to ad
vance their own fortunes.
It may be that President Polk will be able
to break the alliance ranks in Kansas and
open the way for John James Ingalls’
return to the Senate. If he
does it is within the bounds of probability
that President Polk will bo invited to retire
to the shades of obscurity. The rank and
file of the alliance are slow to act, but if
they feel they are being imposed upon by
those in whom they trust, forbearance will
cease to be oae of the virtues woich com
mand their respeot.
English physicians who have visited Dr.
Koch at Bsrlin write to a Birmingham
papar to say that “3omo cases of phthisis
and of lupus vulgaris have unquestionably
improved under the treatment, but with
respset to tho latter we have seen nothing
that might not be due to the relatively
favorable hygienic conditions under which
they were placed. Other cases up to the
present have derived no marked benefit, but
it must be remembered that the first case of
phthisis was injected as recently as Sept. 15
last, and the great majority of cases much
later. It is not improper to caution the
public that the proceeding is not without
risk, and though the danger i3 not unavoid
able, it U certain that an iudisorimma e ap
plication of the method would be followed
by many deplorahie aud fatal accidents.”
This is the reason assigned by Dr. K >ch for
not immediately making public his discov
ery. It seems to be quite sufficient.
With all the glaring inaccuracies of
the oeusus that have been exposed
still uncorrected, it does not seem pos
sible that even a republican congress
can have the audacity to attempt a
reapportionment of congressional repre
sentation. Should such an outrage bo at
tempted it would drive damocrat io local
legislators to gerrymandering iu self-de
fense. If for no other reason than to
obviate this the republicans should refrain
from such action until the census is cor
rected.
Hon. William T. Crawford, democratic
congressman-elect from the Ninth district
of N .rth Carolina, has entered the law
class at the North Carolina University, and
hopes to complete the course before entering
congress. He is said to be a young gantle
maa of dec.ded ability and oue of the best
stamp speakers in the state. Mr. Crawford
was elected to congress by a large majority
in a republican district over Mr. Ewart, the
present member. That’s the sort of a man
that really deserves to get on iu tLe
world. Aud he generally does.
Black Candidate Langston is making an
other contest in the Second congressional
district of Virginia, just for what money
he can filch from the national treasury by
it. Ho probably knows, as well as anybody
else, that he has no earthly chance of get
ting the seat. Nevertheless, he expects to
get a handsome sum as expenses of the
contest So long as this practice is allowed
contests will be instituted upon the flimsiest
pretexts. Something shou,d be done to
stop that sort of robbery.
German newspapers are loudly protesting
against the exorbitant fees that physicians
are demanding for treatment by the K.ich
method. There should be some legal method
of stopping such overcharges. Because a
man chances to be dying by inches, physi
cians should not be allowed to take advantage
of that circumstance to extort irom him all
that he has. That is tantamount to high
way robbery. It u virtually the road
agent’s demand of "your money or your
life,” put in another way.
Lymph from Berlin has been applied by a
physiclau at Kansas City with good results.
About half a drachm was injected into the
shoulder-blade of a patient far advanced iu
consumption. Almost immediate improve
ment was visible. Withiu a few minutes
the patient was greatly relieved. How
much of this was duo really to imagination,
and what part is attributable to actually
beneficial effects, cau only be surmised. But,
as the treatment is to be continued, we shall
see how it culminates.
Queen Emma is to be regent in Holland
until the y mug Princess Wilhelm jj, who
is now but 10 years old, comes of age. She
is affianced to the Crown Prince of Bel
gium. When they are married the two
kingdoms will tnus be united, very much
to the disgust of Germany, France, aud
England. But Germany looks upon the
prospect least kindly of any.
Pennsylvania republicans are standing by
the Senator Don. All over the stato they
are declaring for Cameron. Whether he
has dumped in another bar’l or they are
giving him the worth of his money, already
c attributed, can only be conjectured. But
he is accredited with chipping in SIOO,OOO
for the last campaign, aud he has not got
anything for it yet.
One of the Smiths is a forger. Knowing
that he belonged to a large family, however,
ue went in for a big pile. He got $300,000
in New York. But the queerest part of it
is that a man with all that cash was con
vioted in forty-five minutes. What’s the
use of having lots of money aud relatives
anyhow*

How Mosea Picked Up a Bear Trap.
I had just eaten dinner with a Mississippi

The crib was half a mile from the house. As

later caught sight of a colored man sitting on
the ground at the door. His right leg was fast
in the bear trap.
"Good evening,” saluted the major as we
came up.
“Good evenin’, Maj. Busb.”
"Fine weather for cotton."
"Mighty fine, majah. Has yo’ dun got freu

“Not quite. How’s crops on the other side

‘Only tolable. Majah—only tolable. Bin

“On the right.”
“Ob. yes. I’d dun forgot all about it. I step
ped iu it down ia de woods, an’ was bringing it
up to de house.”
•’That is very kind. We will take it off.”
It touk both of us to spring the jaws, and
the man’s leg seemed to have been cut to tho
bone. He scrambled up, however, picked up a
stick for a cane, and sail:
•’Much obleeged, majah. When Rhall I cum?”
About Monday next, Moses.”

We replied to his salutation, and he hobbled
off into the woods, trying hard to whistle aud

“Not next Monday. He was in that trap

He Married Liberally.
A remarkable series of “marriages for money”
recently took place in a New England state.
The other day a well dressed, finely appearing
couple, with marriage license duly made out
says the New York P.ett, pres sited themselves
belore a minister in atypical Connecticut coun
try town. They wore strainers, but they
answered all questions so satisfactorily, and
they seemed so well matched in even- way that
the good man felt a glow of satisfaction in
making them one. At the close of the cere
mony, while the minister’s worthy wife was
congratulating the blushing bride, the bride
groom handed the minister a brand new twenty
dollar bill, with the remark that he desired to
pay a fee of $5.
The clergyman, feeling thankful that the do
nation was only last woei and that he was for
tunately in funds, guilelessly took the bill, re
turning to the newly married man sls from his
own pocket. Then bride and groom entered
their trim buggy and drove rapidly away. Ap
parently they were much in love Indeed and
very desirous of getting tightly fastened, for
they went Straightway to the next town, calle 1
ou the minister of the place, and were wed
again. The bridegroom again left a S2O bill and
again received sls in change. This performance
was kept up till live different clergymen had been
visited aud five different wedding ceremonies
ha I been performed. Then the strange and
much married con pie vanished mysteriously.
They haven’t been seen since. There are five
Connecticut ministers who would like to see
them exceedingly. Each of these reverend gen
tlemen has a now counterfeit s.’o bill, for wnich
he paid Just sls in good, hard cash. It is safe
to say ttiat in the future they will all look with
suspicion on engaging strangers who want to
pay $5 we iding fees out of new S2J bills.
Silence In Valhalla.
A*. IF., in the Academy.
"Which things are an allegory."— Gal iv., it.
The feasting has ceased in Valhalia,
The joy is all fid:
The gods have grown feeble and pallid,
And hope lieth dead.
He can never return to bless us.
Great Baldur the bright;
The whole world groaneth in darkness,
Day becometh as night.
We knew that the doom it was certain.
The Norns never lie;
That the th ead of his life should be broken.
And Baldur must die.
For Loki was subtle as a! ways,
And stronger than might
Is his craft; It slumbereth never.
In darkness or light.
The sun hath grown cold In the heavens.
The arrow is sped:
A gray pall it hath fallen upon U3
Now Baldur is dead.
It availeth us little that Loki
Lies bound and is pain,
For naugnt can bring back the departed—
Our grief is in yain.
But tbe Norns they have told us all things;
The time diaweth nigh
When the doom that was spoken it falleth;
Tuere ariseth a cry.
From the earth—the gods do not hearken,
All silent their breath.
As calmly they gaze from Valhalla,
Awaiting tbeir death.
They Gradually Parted
“Yes, love, I will be brave, but it is so hard."
“I know, dearest, but it must be; fate de
crees it." In an emphatic splutter: “I ha ate
fa-ate."
"There, there! but my girlie doesn’t hate her
boy?"
“O, no, uo, no, no, no, no! How can you ever
say it?”
i Prolonged silence; two shadows bleDd as one)
alleges Judge.
"Well, the sad words must be said; goo—"
“O. no, don’t say them; they are too cruel.”
“What shall I say, sweet?"
“Say— say—O, I can’t bear it!"
"There: let us both be brave. Time may
separate us, but, dear, eternity will unite us
forever.”
“O, how good and grand you are!"
With an endeavor at a lighter mood: "There
you've sajd the first half, now I’ll say the other
-by."
‘ That's a good—by—girlie."
* ‘Oh, you cute old darliug!"
(Si’euce and shadows as bafore.)
“By, love ”
"By, pet."
“By."
"B-by.”
(Both together); “B—y.”
And is this their last sad parting? Ah, what
reient ess fate could separate two such loving,
young, brave hearts?
No. sympathetic reader, it is not their last; it
is their first and only, so far. since their engage
ment six hours previous at 9p. m. And “relent

feels of getting home in time to change his dress

One 7 rial Was Enough.^
"When the Kansas Pacific was first opened,”
said B. W. Vedder, a locomotive engineer, to the
Globe-Item crat, the Indians were very hostile,
and there was constant fear that they would
wreck the trains. That they did not is due to
t heir ignorance of the iron horse and of the best
methods of destroying it.
“One of my firemen had an experience with
the Cheyennes that he will never forget. He
was on the road near Fort Wallace, when he
saw that the Indians had cut the telegraph
wire, and knew that he must look out for
squalls. They were never satisfied with simply
cutting the wire, bat chopped it into inch pieces
with their tomahawks to effectually stop the
mysterious messages.
"As the train came near a large patch of sun
flowers which grew on both sides of the track
over 100 Indians rose up, stretched a strong
rope across the track, braced themselves, and
pr -pared to receive the shock of the locomotive.
As was afterward learned, they had taken raw
hide strijie, braided them together, and, witli a
force of fifty at each end of the rope, thought
that they would be able to stop the train. The
instant the locomotive struck the rope the air
was full of Indians. They were thrown in all
directions. Some were .jerked clean across the
the train, and more than a dozen were killed or
seriously injured. This was the last attempt
made lor years to stop the trains."

Fok many years Paul Du Chail u’s stories of

dwarfs like taose he described were disc ivered

An isolited mountain called Jebel Naiba.
about 25.000 feet high, situated near Bona,
Algeria, it found to be rapidly decreasing in
night, a considerable ca - ity having already
formed around its entire Lase. The whole mass
or tne gigantic peak is • vidently sinking into
the earth s ciust. Evidence adduced almost
within the very limits of Bona show that a
similar phenomenon had taken place theie
pro! ably centuries before. Lake Fezarra, a
body of water of some thousands of acres in
extent, lying between the mountains and tbe
city, did not exist in the time of tho Roman
empire, and recent investigations seem to have
settled the fact that it now covers what was
once a large fortified Roman city. Wucn
strong southwest winds blow tor days in suc
csssi n, towers and walls may be seen far out

Growing abundantly on the plains of Texas
is a curious plant known among the stockmen
as the “loco” plant or “crazy” weed, and
sometimes, it is-a.d. the “Devil s cattle.” It is
a small plant, with glaucus foliage, minute
blood red flowers, aud a single, oval shaped
seed vessel. It p issrsses a strong, but not disa
gree&ble, odor, and, it is claimed, has a strange
eliect on cattle, producing a latitude and
weakness wnich lasts for several day*, and
causes often al>o partial or even total blind
ness. Strangely enough, it is said that cattle at
first reject the plant, but finally contract an
apparent fondness for it, a habit of whicn it is
almost impossible to hr ak them. It is some
times used by the cowboys themselves in place
of tobacco, alt hough, it is said, m cases of .veak

Did you ever see a spider change his skin?
It is an Interesting sight, one that will well re
pay any one for the time lost in waiting for the
novel event to take place. When preparing
for the chauge the spider stops eating for
several days aud makes hie preliminary arranga
ments by fastening himself by a short thread
of web to one of the main lines of his snare;
this to hold him firmly while he proceeds to un
dress. First the skin cracks all around the
thorax, being held only by the fore part. Next
the abdomen is uncovered, and then comes the
struggle to free the legs. He works aud kicks
vigorously, seeming to have a very hard time
of it. Fifteen minutes of continued perseve
rance. however, brings him out of big old dress,
the struggle causing him to appear limp and
lifeless for some time after It is finished.
Gradually he comes back to life, brighter and
more beautiful than before the trying ordeal
was begun.
The British admiralty, it is stated, has given
orders for two of the new gunboats now build
ing to be fitted with captive balloons. The prac
tical advantages of the balloon were demonstra
ted du.ing the recent maneuvers of tbe French
fleet in the Mediterranean. The Formidable, one
of tbe most powerful of French battle -hips is
furnished with one of these balloons. When the
vessel is steaming it is towed Letu and, being at
tached with block and tackle to the deck. It
can therefore be drawn down and manned, and,
on the connection with th 9 deck being severed’
it ascends, but is sti 1 he and captive by
a rope made of silk f -r lightness, fixed on one
of the military tops. This con ectioa with the
military top is always maintained The balloon
on toe Formidable has 11,000 cubic feet of hy
drogen gas and ascends 150 feet or so. The
French officers report that objects t wenty-five
miles distant cau be seen from th ■ balloon,
whereas from ti e deck the horizon line is not
more than eight miles distant, bays the Wash
ington S ar: “One other feature brought out
by the t ials was that au observer in tbe balloon
was üble to follow the movements of the sub
marine boat Gymnote without losing sight of
it for a single instant, although it was a very
considerable distance heiow the water level.”
A medical man, whose practice is around the
lower end of the park, in New York, in what is
known as the apartment house district, re
marked that he believed the general tendency
to stoutness, which is Bhown by w unen who
have lived iu flats, was due to their lack of ex
ercise. “I have many patients now," the old
doet r said,“who were with me when thev
were little more than girls, and 1 have noticed
that nearly all of those who have lived continu
ally in flats during the past five or six years
have grown unusually st ut, and are constantly
complaining of the discomforts of increased
weight. There is no doubt that the
life of the average woman in a flat
is an indolent one. She has no
space to move about in: tbe elevator carries her
up and down sta rs, and the whole tondency of
flat life is toward inertia. Again, the apart
ments are usually so small that they do not
afford any real opportumrie3 for work even to
women who are naturally industrious. In a
house a certain amount of activity is necessary
at all times, and there is an endless amount of
climbing up and down stairs, looking after
rooms on various floors, and so on, which keeps
a wopian young, supple and vigorous. This is
particularly the case if the house is anew one
and its tenant is just settling down. Everybody
knows that it takes thirty years for a woman to
get settled in a house of her own."
The Romans deemed It an ill omen to meet
certain animals while on the way to have the
marriage ceremony pronounced. A
hare, dog, cat, lizard or serpent
were extremely unlucky animals io
meet upon such occasions. A wolf, toad, ox or
horse were lucky. In Greene the groom is
sprinkled with water on leaving home to meet
bis future bride. The bride must visit the oven
in company with her father and mother, if she
would have a happy married life. In France,
during the middle ages, a ring woven
from straw, or one made of horse-shoe
nails, was placed on the bride's-finger at the
conclusion of the marriage rite. The coup e
also stood in a ring five or six feet in di
ameter made of mistletoe straw. In China a
girl who is partaking of the last nreal she is to
eat in her father’s house previous to her mar
ria :e, sits at the table with her father and
brothers only, but she must not eat over one
half of tle bowl of rics set before
her, otherwise her departure will
be followed by continued scarcity m
the domicile sho is leaving, in Scotland it was
formerly particularly ominous to meet a funeral
while on the nay to be joined in wedlock. The
bride or groom was a r;ain to die soon, as the
sex of the person being taken to tbe graveyard
was male or femaie. The Swedish bride seeks
to catch a glimpse of the groom before he
sees her, hoping thereby to gain the future
ma tery. She also places her foot before his
while the ceremony is being performed and sits
down first. While tbe words are being said she
stands near the groom, so that In the future no
one will come b tween them. In Brittany if
the wife hopes to rule she roust take care that
the ring, when placed unon her finger, shall slip
at once to its place without stopping at the
large second joint In Russia the bride must
not eat of the wedding cake unless she wishes to
lose her husband’s love. If a dog belonging to
the family of the bride shoul i howl on the dav
of the wedding, or the day previous to the
event, lie must be shot by the father of the bride
and no one else. and. besi es taat, with a bul
