remains, to find that tbe body weighed oyer
500 pounds, and was as white and well pre

natural look. It is ascribed to the percola

after burial in a calcareous soil.
By the census of 1880 the whites in Ala

Montgomery Advertiser,"to ehuw that the
white people have b on for years in an un

Death of Secretary Wisdom.
Tbs sadden snl wholly unexpected death
of Mr. Wlndom, the Secretary of the Treas
ury, at New Y rk last night, wiii ibock
the country. Wbea he left Washhingtoo
yesterday be was apparently in good hea th.
In New York he was at a dinner of the
board of trade, and had just finished a
speech when he was attacked by the disease
which so quickly terminated hie life.
Mr. Wind ,m was a popular man and
possessed much more than ordinary ability.
His rank was hardly among the great men
of the ©jontry, bat he wee regarded as a
safe man. He did not venture upon the
financial sea without knowing where be was
going to land. His successful effort
in (Fating a B>£ per cent. gov
ernment bond when be was
Secretary of the Treasury in Garfield’s ad
ministration won for him considerable
reputation. It was not thought that a
bond bearing that rate of interest could be
Seated at par at that time.
Mr. Windom held a many offices In
deed, be was in office pretty much all his
life after be reached his ma
jority. He was affable and courteous,
and be left a clean record. He did not
favor the free coinage of sliver, and ii view
of the differences among the republicans on
the silver question the President may have
considerable difficulty in filling satisfac
torily the vacancy caused by his death.
He Brought It on Himaelf.
A smile, o ..Id.ike acd bland, must have
played arou .and the mouth of Hon. Joseph E.
Brown, the senior Georgia senator, when
the news reached him that the Hon. John
J. Ingalls, senator from Kansas, would not
be a gladiatorial wrangler in the senatorial
arena after March 4. Once upon a time,
not many years ago, Senators Brown and
I galls had a little war of words in the Sen
ate chamber, acd although the Kansaa
senator was caustic, bitiar and vindictive in
bis remarks, indicating, it may be surmised,
that be had received several home thrusts,
tbe Georgia senator was good enough to say
that the Kansas senator had * ‘brought it
upon himself.”
Thera is no doubt that the Kansas senator
brought his recent defeat upon himself. He
was never in thorough harmony with the
people of bis state. The great majority of
tbe Kaunas people are willing to admit that
the war is over. Thay are more concerned
about getting a living for themselves and
families than about Issue* that ought to
have been abandoned when the war ended.
Ingalls has shaped hia course In public lit* as
if bo thought the war was still going on. He
may have believed that he was pleasing
his constituents, and the noisy approval of
a few politicians may bare continued
him in that belief. Too late he found out,
however, that he never understood the peo
ple he was chosen to represent, and that he
never K ot * lodgment in their hearts. They
admlted bis brilliant rhetoric, but they felt
that be was not in sympathy with them.
They saw that be had never done anything
for them and they believed that he never
would.
HW depend ed upon his reputation as aa
orator and hie ability to say things which
attracted attention to keep him afioat in
political Ufa. He now,doubtless,
tbe mistake he mada And in the matter
of reilgjon he permitted his Aemee to get
himself talked about to separate him from
his people. Mare than once he gave utter
ance in public addresses to thoughts which
gave rise to a suspicion that he was, if not
an infidel, at least an agnostic. Tbe
plain farmers of Kansas, having
deaply rooted religions convictions, oould
net understand the speculations of their
brilliant senator relative to Christian be
lisfs, nor did thsy appreciate them. They
mado no demonstration of their disap
proval, but when their sympathy and sup
port wer# needed by him they made no
response. They felt that he was out of
touch with them. Their alliance move
ment, which grew oot of a feeling that
thdlr burdens were becoming greater than
they could boar, received no enoeurage
lusdt from him. The alllauco, therefore,
held aloof from him when he begged it to
lend him a helping hand. With his talents,
Senator lagalis had it in his power to keep
bis senatorial office for life He owes hia
loss of it to himself.
Stories About Mayor Grant.
Major Grant, of New York, was in Sa
vannah on Wedneodav, admiring the beauty
of her square# and her parks and viewing
tbe evidences of her prosperity as seen along
her mile* of wbarvoa He was in a happy
frame of nzind, and was enjuyiug hltnself
On the same day some of the Now York
papers contained rather curious stories as
to his whereabouts. The Tribune, tor in
stance, was in doubt whether he was in a
darkeued room at his residence or wa* on
his way to a southern city te have his eyes
treated by a noted Southorn specialist. The
same paper said that there was a rumor
which represented that southern members
of congress had planned the trip through
the south to conrinoe the mayor that
Gov. Hill’s alleged presidential “boom’-
in that part of the country bad no ex
istence.
It is somewhat remarkable that there
should have been any speculation at ail as
to his whereabouts, or as to his purpose in
making a trip as far south as Florida. On
last Friday he stated openly, at a meeting
of some of the city officials which he
attended, that he was going south for a
week or two, oml at the same time he told
some of his friends that his eyes were giv
ing him trouble.
Why, then, should a rumor that he was
confined iu a dark room in his house have
been published? The mayor is a frank and
truthful man, and there was no reason to
doubt that he had gone south.
But tbe rumor that he hod gone south to
find if there was any sentiment in the south
ern states for Gov. Hill for President was
an idiotic one. He need not have left New
Y ork to have satisfied himself on that point
There is not a well-informed New Yorker
who does not know that Mr. Cleveland is
the only man whom the southern people are
thinking of for the democratic nomination
for President in 1892.
But Mayor Grant is not hunting for a
southern eye doctor or a Hill boom. He is
seeking recreation, and wheu he was iu
Savannah he appeared to be finding it.

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, JANUARY 30,1891.
A Set Back for Powderly.
Tha third party movement does not pros
per, notwithstanding Mr. Powderly’s efforts
in its behalf. Mr Powderly aopexrs to be
tbe only one who wants a thud party. At
the meeting of tbe leaders of tbe alliance
and labor organisations m Washington the
other day it was distinctly announced that
these organirations bad no intention of
establishing anew party. Tbe purpose was,
it was stated, to get such legislation as the
organizations wanted from tbe old parties
Mr. Powderly. however, is puffed up with
with tbe idea that be has sufficient influence
1 to start anew pirtv, and. according to tbe
reports, be l.as been acting upon tbia idea
aver since the adjournment of the Ocala
convention. He has bees working quietly,
however, because he is far from certain of
success.
Recently be issued a circular reques ting
all labor organizations to send delegates to
a conference to organize anew party in
conjunction with the farmers’ alliance.
One of these circulars wai sent to the
American Federation of Labor, tbe strong
est labor organization in tne country. Toe
executive council of that organization met
in New York city on Tuesday, and it was
derided to take no notice whatever of Mr.
Powderly’s circular.
Tbe refusal of this powerful organization
to approve Mr. Powderly’s scheme U a
great set-hack for him. Without its help he
can do nothing. Its president said that it
woald be a mistake for a labor organization
to take an active part in politics. He
thought it was about aa much as a labor
organization could do to attend to labor
matters.
Mr. Powderly hoped to draw the Federa
tion of Labor into hia nei# party scheme.
If he had succeeded he would have made
the Knights of Labor tbe leaders in it. with
tbe hope, doubtless, that be would be chosen
to manage tbe new party.
Asa matter of fact there is no opening
for anew party at this time. There is no
great principle upon which to base it
No party without a principle that
could take a firm hold upon
the hearts and consciences of the people
would have a ghost of a chance for success.
Neither Mr. Powderly nor any other leader
of tbe confederated labor and alliance
organizations has in mind such a principle.
And there is no great leader in any one of
the organizations. The labor and alliance
organizations are asking legislation which
they hope would benefit their members, and
that la all. Mr. Powderly is only wasting
bis time in so far as his ne w party work is
concerned.
What Can Thsy Do About It?
Senator Cameron, of Pennsylvania, is a
target for the wrath of those of the repub
lican representatives from his state who are
anxious that the foroe bill shall become a
law. As soon as it became known through
out tbe capital the other day that he had
voted with tbe democrats to lay aside the
closure rule and take up tbe apportionment
bill they began applying to him such epi
thets as “assistant democrat,” “lngrate”
“traitor.” He coolly informed them that
he had just been re-elected for six years,that
he had done what he thought was right,and
a-kod them what they purposed to do about
it. As they could do nothing they decided
that the wisest course to pursue was to let
him alone.
Senator Cameron may not be a great
orator or a great statesman, but it can be
said to his credit that he has tbe courage to
act in accordance with hia convictions. He
is a stanch republican, but he it not the
kind of a republican to act with his party
when ho believes his party ie wrong. On
several occasions in hia political career he
has broken away from bis party and voted
against it And his doing so has not in
jured his popularity with his constituents.
The leading republican paper of his state
tried to prevent him from being re-elected.
What it said, however, didn't hurt him in
the least He was renominated and re
elected almost without an effort.
Some of his political enemies have tried
to make capital outof hia friendly relations
with Senator Butler of South Carolina.
They have even gone so far as to say that
Senator Butler controls his vote upon ques
tions in which the south is interested.
No sensible and fair-minded
man ever gave a second thought
to such nonsense as that, however. He and
Senator Butler are great friouds, and have
been for years, but it is about certain that
neither attempts to influence the action of
the other in political matters.
Senator Cameron is against the force bill
because he knows that it is an unwise meas
ure—a measure that would do a great deal
of harm, and no good whatever, ne would
bo unworthy of the high position he holds
if he were to let such an old granny as
Hoar bulldoze him into acting against his
convictions.
The validity and constitutionality of the
McKinley bill are to be tested in the su
premo court. A case was argued in the
United States circuit court for New York
on Wednesday, in which the following
points against the bill were made, viz.: (1)
Tbe bill signed by the President was not
the bill that passed congress, one section
having been omitted. (2) Section 3, giving
the President power to continue or suspend
duties in certain contingencies in the inter
ests of reciprocity, u unconstitutional, be
cause congress cannot delegate such powers.
(3) The sugar bounty is an unconstitutional
diversion of the public money to private
benefit. The case goes to the supremo
court at once.
One of the ouriosities of crime in Michi
gan is an old man at Grand Rapids, who
can not even write his own uame, but who
yet managed to find some twelve or fifteen
widows to marry him under the impression
that he could get them pensions for the war
record of their former husbands. It Is pos
itively astouishiug how rapidly fools do
accumulate in this world. Widows in Mich
igan must be wildly anxious for another
matrimonial experience that they should
take a strange man who cannot even sign

There were five or six of “us boys” in a coach
on an Erie train one day last summer, wrote a
New York San contributor, when a young man
wearing a big diamond pin came in. As he
seemed to tas special pains to show off we
presently began to talk about diamonds ’and
how people were deceived in them, and he at
once cocked up both ears and became inter
ested. The agent of a Buffalo wall-paper house
had a magnifying glass with him. and we se
lected him as an tip-rt to test what jewelry
we oould pass up. He passed all the stones as
fair to medium, and then the stranger came for
ward and said:
“I'd like your opinion on this stone. I got it
at what I consider a bargain ”
“Do you call this a diamond?" asked our “ex
pert,” after a long look through the glass.
“Certainly. ”
"Where did you get it?”
“Of an advance agent who was Hard up.”
"And you paid ?”

“What: Isn’t that a diamond?”
“Yes, such a diamond as my house sells by the
pint.”
The stranger was knocked a’l to pieces by the
infc rotation, and after considerable swearing
he went off and sat down by himself. At Sala
manca he saw someone on the platform
he knew, aha hurried out to speak
with him. When Be returned the pin was
gone, and one of the erawd asked if he had

"Not any lost!” he replied. When I

Too Indulgent by Far.
“Yes,” said Mr. Easyman M Rev. Dr. Pru
dent. the new minister, who was paying his
parishioner a friendly visit, “you are unques
tionably right. Ido not believe in being over
stern wita children. Now mine treat me as
they would an elder brother or playmate. No
scampering upstairs when they hear my latch
key turn in the door. Not much! Make your
home cheerful—that’s my motto."
A frowsy haired youth of some six summers
appeared on the scene at this juncture. After
eyeing the clergyman critically for a moment
he broke out with:
“Bay, pa, what’s a jay?”
An ominous fi own settled upon the brow of
the Indulgent parent as he replied: “A jay, my
son, is a rather showy bird, having a low, erec
tile crest of feathers and "
’’But, pa, they can y, can’t they?”
"Certainly, my boy. They are noted, too, for
their propensity to chatter and, for instance, to
ask foolish questions." The frown deepened as
the boy went on:
“But how can they fly, pa, without any
wings?”
"My son. I think I heard your ma calling you
a few moments ago—’’
“Yes, pa. I’m going, only as I heard you tell
ma last nirbt that our new minister was a
regular jay, I just wanted to come in here and
see whether he canid fly. Say, mister (to the
astonished clergyman), you alh’t got any feath
ers, have you?"
There was a sudden rush on the part of the
indulgent parent, says the New York Herd and,
followed by the sudden disappearance of the
youthtul inquisitor- Then came a series of dis
cordant howls from the hall beyond.
"Sly dear sir,” observe! the parent upon
entering the room, “while I admit that lam a
kind and Indulgent parent—why!”
At this point the frost door was heard to slam
violently. The minister had disappeared, and
now Mr. Easyman is talking about renting
a pew In another church.

Announce our engagement, you say?
You’ve brought the ring with you? Respond by

True love always frets at delay.
The ring! Will I wear it? Yes! Easy to grant
A request so congenially planned;
I’ll still be the blushing and coy debutante
By wearing it on my right hand.

The season’s gay round of affairs,
Because Cupid’s arrow—stop pinching, go

The proposed deposition of the insane king
Otto of Bavaria, in favor of his uncle and heir
the Regent Luitpold, meets with general ap
prove! in Germany. Otto is nearly a maniac.
His favorite amusement is to stand at a win
dow of his castle prison, under watch of an at
tendant. and shoot at peasants, not pheasants,
with a gun which he supposes to be loa :ed with
ball but which, of course, is not. Peasants are
kept under regular pay to be snot at. They
come within gunshot, the king fires, and at the
sound they fall, pretending to be killed. This
murderous madman is addressed as “Yoar
Majesty," and his attendants and visitors kow
tow to him in the most submissive manner.
Luitpold, Bis uncle, has proved himself a states
man of capacity.
Thx death of King Kalakaua in a foreign
land, 3,500 miles from his kingdom, recalls the
death of his predecessor, Kamehameha IL, in
London, nearly sixty-six years ago. K&me
hameha IL succeeded his father, Kamehameha
L, the great, in 1819, when the old native religion
was beginning to give way before the whites.
American missionaries arrived in 1820, and soon
thereafter the king abolished the tabu and idola
try. On Nov. 2T, 1823, tne kiag, who had long
desired to travel, sailed for London on a British
man-of-war, accompanied by his queen, Kame
hamaiu, and a suite. They were received by
George IV. and attracted much attention in
London. Early in July, 1824. they were attacked
by a malignant form of measles, and on July 14
the king died; the queen died shortly afterward.
The man-of-war Blonde was detailed to carry
the remains of the king and queen to their king
dom, and on May 6, 1825, it arrived at Honolulu,
where the dead sovereigns were buried with
Christian ceremonies.
King Kalakaua, the deceased monarch of the
Sandwich islands, was an ardent admirer of
base ball. One bright summer's day In Chi
cago, when Adrian Constantine Anson and his
nimble minions were closing their last test to
humble the pride and defeat the proud Bos
tonians, a red-faced gentleman from the un
tamed west was doing the umpiring, and, to
everybody’s disgust, he was favoring the men
irom Boston. Kalakaua was there. He knew
Anson intimately, and he wanted to see the
grand old man triumph. In tbe Chicago’s half of
the ninth inning, with men on second and third,
Anson came to the bat. Thi score stool two
to one in favor of Boston. With majestic
dignity the king offered to bet Sid that Anson
would make a base hit and win the game One
of the gentlemen in tbe box accepted the
wager. Kalakaua produced a crisp banknote
and the bet was made. Tnen to everybody’s
amazement, and his kinglet’s disgust, tbe um
pire called Anson out on three strikes. The
bleacßers hissed, the stands groaned at the
decision, but his majesty the king simply
turned to his friends, and in a voice hoarse
with paasion, exclaimed: “Gentlemen, the um
pire is one dreadful fool.”
One of the sensations in sleighing in Central
Park, New York, on Sunday, says the Sun, was
directed by a lad of not more than K years,
who drove a team of perfectly broken and un
usually agile little donkeys attached to a sleigh
which was au exact counterpart of the Russian
style of vehicles, which are flippantly referred
to as “cigar boxes on runners." He had an En
glish groom, scarcely bigger than himself, who
sat on the rear seat with an air of intense
though juvenile dignity. The donkeys wore
phones wnich were even longer than - heir ears,
and harness studded brilliantly with polished
brass nails. Taey made a tremendous
appearance of spee 1 by throwing their
heads high, jumping up and down in
the air and snaking about in their
harness at a great rate. The boy sat erect with
his hands well down and used his whip artisti
cally. The whole outfit attracted a good deal
of attention, aud the lad evidently thought
that he was moving at a lightning speed, but
ths donkeys knew better. They got over tbe
ground about as fast as a quick walking horse,
out they made noise enough to suggest a dote
finish at the Suburban. Everybody gave the
showy little team the right of way. and occa
sionally good-natured drivers would make some
sort of comment to the boy. He did not notice
them, however, but continued on his wav with
au amount of dignity that was onlv equaled by
the austerity of the groom. Aside from this ho
hal about as much as he could attend to with
his fiery little team. Half the time the donkeys
showed a disposition to waik exclusively on
their hind legs.
W. T. Stead's summary or the two (treat sen
sations of the last month of the year just ended
Is worth printing and worth reading. Here it
is: There is a weird and terrible story in the
Christmas number of Atlanta which readshor
ribly like a parable of recest history—especially
of the history of the last mouth. It is a tale of
the northern lands, told by Clemence Hour
man, which makes the flesh creep and the
blood run oold. To the Norse farmstead in win
ter time came the strange maiden whom men
named White Fell. Tali she was and very fair,
graceful as Diana, and radiant with the beauty
of strength; but in her eye there shone at times
an awful light, and those whom she lured to
kiss her by the hearthstone she subsequently
devoured in the field. For White Feil was
a Were-Wolf. The wild and fearful
legend which tells that this fair creature could
be transformed from the asnect as of a god,
upright, free-handed, with brows, and speech’,
and laughter, into a palpably bestial brute,
pawed, toothed, and shagged, aDd eared like
the wolves of the fell, destined to bury its great
black jowl in the bloody flank of the man whose
lips had pressed the cheek of the transformed
shape of this dreadful thing affords ihe ground
werk of the story In AtaUmta. In the tale
after devouring two victims, the third is saved’
by an act of heroic self sacrifice. The twin
brother of the doomed braves the deadly jeal
ousy of his brother in order to pursue and slay
the Were-Wolf woman. “You kissed Roi—and
Rol is dead! You kissed Trella—and he is dead ’
You have k ssed Sweyn, my brother, but he shall
not die!” And then began the wild pursuit over
the snowy wilds, the cruel blows which shattered
his hands, the ax that smote his neck till the
lifeblood gushed out; but after that came vic
tory, for the Were-Wolf lay dead .and Christian,
as he breathed his last by White Fell’s corps-,
rejoiced with exceeding joy because he had
saved his brother. That weird legend of the
northern lands is not more tragic or more piti
ful than the story of the part played by women
of late years in the great tragedy of contempor
ary history. The Strange Woman has played
the Were-Wolf with a vengence among the fore
mast men of our time. In my character sketch
of Gen. Boulanger I lightly ran through the list
of some of her victims. They have kissed
her. and haye died—or they have met a worse
fate than death in the living grave of
universal contempt. PleasaDt it is in
the gloaming when the rays from the
fitful firelight gleam on the golden
tresses of the fair white thing that laughs
and smiles and invites a long embrace; but it is
not given to every one to see the awful glee that
lights the Were Wolf’s eyes, or to discern how
soon from that soft clinging embrace will come
a ghastly, deadly danger. Skobeleff perished
that way, and Gambetta; Sir Charles Dilka went
down alive into the pit; and last month it was
the turn of Mr. Parnell. In the story Christian
saved Sweyn from White Fell by dying for his
sake. But not even the passionate efforts of a
whole nation can save our Sweyn from the
grasp of Mre. o’Bbea. The Were-Wolf woman
of Irish politics cannot be shaken off. Stolen
waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is
pleasant, but seldom have we had a more con
spicuous illustration of the troth of the old say
ing: “Whoso committeth adultery with a
woman lacketh understanding; he that doeth
it destroyeth his own soul: a wound and dis
honor shall he get; his reproach shall not be
wiped away."
