When the thieves of Brooklyn reach such

Since Stanley has himself positively de
nied the story of prospectlvs gifts from him
to Gen. Booth’s reformation scheme, the
chances are that Maj. Pond was right after

Bookless Statesman Simpson is no slouch
of a politician if he is a trifle slow about
keeping even with the fashion in socks. His
evangelical work for Palmer in the Illinois
legislature is likely to prove productive of
good results. Congressman Jerry isn’t half

When it comes to passing a local appro

was done in the case of the $200,000 for the

that district is shown that Is a very rare
sight.
Fair Lillian Russell always draws a good
bouse when the admission fee is placed at
three figures. So it is not 6trauge that she
should have drawn an audience that packed
the room to its doors and did not leave
standing room anywhere when she came to
describe her tights before a New York
court.
Chicago papers are going into ecstacies
of delight over the belief that a local genor.,l
store is the largest retail bouse iu the ooun
try, and they are giving the Arm a generous
••spread” of free advertising because a New
York paper has admitted the claim.
Whether true or not the discussion ia a flue

Discussion of his recent financial losses
with his friends seems to have prompted
Col. Calvin 8. Brice to think of resigning
not only his honorary political offices, but
his seat in the Senate also. That’s the way
they talk about it now, but such a thing
would be so unprecedented as to appear
altogether improbable.
Clouds lo the Alliance Sky.
The sky of the alliance of this state Is nos
as bright as it was a few minths ago.
There are clouds m it, and they indicate the
| approach of a storm of soma sort. Th ose
who know what caused them are remark
ably reticent.
Io an interview in the Morning News
yesterday CoL Livingston, the president of
the alliance, said that ha proposed to dsfe-.d
the alliance against all attacks, but he did
not ray who it was who was threatening to
attack it He seemed to havo the impres
sion, however, that aa attack was to be ex
pected from some source. The governor,
when questioned about the matter, said that
he did not intend to attack the ailiaucs.
But Col. Livingston must have informa
tion that the alliance is to be attacked.
Else what tense would there be in hie asser
tion that it is his purpose to stand on the
defensive! Are those from whom attack is
apprehended under cover! If not, and CoL
Livingston knows them, why doesn't hs
name them ?
But everybody knows that there is trouble
among the alliance leaders. The Southern
Alliance Farmer, in its last issue, bristles
with points against the governor and tome
of bis alliance friends. It intimates that
the governor’s faction is against the sub
treasury bill, which is the chief plank in
the alliance platform, and that it is against
CoL Livingston and the alliance organ. It
is probable that it is not very far wrong.
Home of the ablest of the allianceinen are
against the sub-treasury bilL They know
very well that the bill has not the remotest
chance of receiving the approval of con
gress. They know that it has no mori t
whatever and they are unwilling to have
the poople believe that they approve it.
They wish to deal fairly and squarely with
the people, and, hence, they are forced to
take a position against it. No man who
hat a reputation for statesmanship has ever
spoken of it favorably.
And it may be that the alliance leaders
who met at the governor’s residence the
other day do not approve of CoL Livingston.
They certainly do not approve of the alli
ance organ. They said they did not, and
they have taken steps to established another
organ. It will be seen at the next state
alliance convention whether or not they
they approve of CoL Livingston. It
not be surprising if he should not be re
elected to the alliance presidency.
It may be that he doesn't seek re-election.
It might be well for him to do so, however,
just to test hi-s strength. ,4f he does not
offer for the plac9 it is pretty certain that
no one who represents his views will got it.
Tnealliance organ, while showing itself
hostile to the governor’s friends, asserts that
it is still battling for the right and for alli
ance principles, A week or so ago it said
that there were offleors in the alliance who
had been trying to use the order to advance
their personal end*. It seems strange that
it does not name the officers. If it is so
earnestly devoted to the alliance cause,
why doesn’t it make public the names of
those who are injuring that cause!
It looks as if the caucus of alliance load
ers at the governor’s mansion would bear
fruit, and very good fruit. Those leaders
have the .welfare of the alliance at heart.
They see that it could be made extremely
beneficial to the farmers, aud they regret
that it is going so deeply into politics. The
fight is on between the alliance factions,
and the rosult of it is looked for with great
interest.
Idaho's Latest Innovation.
Many of the new and some of the old
northwestern state* have become altogether
demoralized siuoe the late general election,
and throwing all parliamentary practice to
the four winds of heaven they are literally
running wild on the subjects of legislative
organization and the olection of state of ■
fleers and United States senators. Such a
thing as deoorum appears to be wholly lost
sight of, and it is simply a rough-and-tum
ble catob-as-catoh can soullle for spoils and
partisan advantages.
In these oxtraordiuary proceedings Idaho
is quite equal to any of them in point of
irregularity, and does not lie far behind
Oklahoma territory in manual debate.
Nearly every day there is a boisterous
wrangle over the approval of the journal
of tho previous day, aud when the character
of the proceedings is taken into account it
is not at all strango that after the cAiming
influence of sleep aud reflection they oannot
bring themselves to approve their own cvn
duct of the day before. Yet they start
right in to repeat pretty muoh the same
performances again.
Notwithstanding that the state had three
senators, before who are supposed to bo reg
ularly elected, the lawmakers whom the
people have entrusted with thfc interests
ami welfare of the state for the ensuing
year, again very ooolly started out to olect a
fourth senator, and did it, juit as If the
state required a dozen of them at the very
least.
Now where must all of this reckless bur
lesque of legislation end? Inevitably it must
bring about a conflict in the courts ns well
as a contest in the United States Senate,
when these superfluous senators apply for
admission. Then we shall witness the dis
graceful scenes of the Fifty-first congress
all over again.
One of the Idaho senators is supposed to
be a democrat, and a peculiar feature of the
whole curious situation is that the republi
can senators-elect, so-called, confidently
expect the grave republican senators in
Washington to recognize them and vote the
democrat out as au evidence of party fealty.
Truly, statesmanship iu Idaho is yet in tho
crudest sort of a state.
Zeal and fidelity on the part of a lawyer
toward his client are very proper and com
mendable within curtain limits. But when
it comes to oemmitting a felony by stealing
the evidenoe for the prosecution in order to
save the accused from tbe consequences of
a charge of murder, as aa attorney iu St.
Louis did recently, that is carrying profes
sional activity just a trifle too far. Justice
is all that an attorney’s duty to his client
requires him to secure. But iu many in
stances it is just what tho culprit doesn’t
want.
Physicians who hare carefully looked
into the matter apparently think that Dr.
Koch came very near giving the world an
invaluable specific, but did uot quite grasp
the desired secret, because he did not pursue
the subject far enough. Still his research 's
and disclosures of the results may yet lead
to an important discovery through the de
velopment of what he has made kuown.
Connecticut is likely to become involved
ia no end of oomplieations proceeding from
the present legislative snarl. Should the
deadlock continue until the tims for ad
journment none of the minor state and lo
cal office* can be filled. Courts will be left
without judges and serious consequences
may eniua. This Is carrying partisanship
entirely too far.
THF. MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1891.
fspod Advice to Farmers.
The address of Agricultural Commissioner
Nesbitt before the State Agriculture. .Soci
ety contained a good many suggestions
which are well worth the careful cunsidera
; tionof farmer*. The suggestion relative to
' small farms is an excellent one. There is
no doubt that a great many Georgia farmers
: cultivate altogether too much land. They
I do too much work for the returns they get.
They could farm a much smaller amount of
' land and get ahead in the world much
faster. They would have to adopt the intense
system of farming, however—that is, they
would have to make the land rich ar.d cul
tivate it thoroughly. The successful small
farmers act upon the theory that if you
feed the land it will feed you.
And too many farmers give more atten
tion to cotton than they ought to. Because
cotton is what is called a money crop they
give up almost all of their land to it. They
believe that it pays them to raise cotton and
buy corn and meat. But if they should try
diversified farming—that is, raise their own
supplies—they would never go back te the
all cotton system.
They don’t succeed well in trying to raise
their own supplies because they don’t give
the care to the raising of stock and grain
and vegetables they ought. They don’t
enrich their land and make it produce all
that it is capable of producing. Mr. Nes
bitt calls attention to the farms and farmers
of Dooly county. Are there any more
prosperous farmers in the world than those
of that county! And they are small
farmers. They are out 6f debt and have
bank accounts. They pay cash for what
they buy, and, hence, do not havo to pay
two prices. They loan money. They have
no occasion to borrow it and pay exorbitant
rates of interest.
Cotton, of course, brings money. There
is always a market for it. But what does
it profit a farmer to raise a crop that brings
him cash if the cost of raising it equa's
what it brings! And many farmers con
cern thetnßelves more about planting a large
number of acres in cotton than about the
yield per acre. Is it not better to bring one
acre of land to a high state of fertility and
cultivation, so that it will produce a bale or
a bale and a half of cotton, than to farm
two acres of poor land that will produce
only about half a bate to the acre!
The big plantations should be cut into
small farms, and each farm should be
maije highly productive by the best known
methods. In proportion as the number of
small and oorefully cultivated farms in
creases the prosperity of the farmers will in
crease.
Though the Southern Alliance Farmer
is in a hot wrangle over the re
spective merits and party fealty of
men who wear slouch hats in con
trast; with those who wear the sinful
silk tile, the editor claims to have “an ideal
driving mare” to sell, and he stops right in
the middle of this engaging debate of the
living issues of the oountry to announce his
willingness to trade his horse for au un
named amount of that dangerous ‘‘money
power” that he habitually warns the world
against. Clearly the editor is not wholly
engrossed in economic theories.
Should the pending suits prove that the
Bell telephone patent really did expire Dec.
9 last the cost of telephone franchises would
undoubtedly be so largely reduced that the
“phone” would probably come into almost
universal use. Free competition in making
the instruments would so lower the cost
that everybody could then afford to have one
and rival companies would so sharply com
pete for public favor as to render the ser
vice much more satisfactory than it fre
quently is now. Monopolies are too indif
ferent to public desires and requirements.
Late cable dispatches picture the status
of the wrangle in Ireland as going from bad
to worse. Bloodshed is even predicted as a
result of Parnell's conduct toward his
friends, all of whom he Is accused of betray -
inginturn. Jealousy and rancorous ani
mosities now seem likely to destroy the
offocts of all that so many years and dollars
have been spent to accomplish. Patriot
ism seems to have been wholly lost sight
of in the struggle for power.
Since nearly all of tho states have
shown a strong inclination to disown the
Republican party and vote down its theories,
that ever hopeful organization is now ap
parently engrossed in the delightfully en
couraging occupation of trying to colonize
and capture tbe Choctaw nation. State
craft has long since been “all Choctaw” to
that party, and it migh' as ell permanent
ly locate in some such reu ot - region.
Demagogy can bo carried to the most ab
surd lengths by crafty politicians. Now,
if auy one can tell the good people of this
great country why the widows aud orphans
aud other female relatives of deceased
soldiers should vote, to the exclusion of other
women, as is proposed by an enterprising
politician in New York, he will diffuse in
telligence that will be highly appreciated.
Protests against the hard treatment of
tho Jews in Russia from philanthropic
Britons appear to have only served to
more deeply incense the czar against them
and aggravate the hardships of their al
ready wretohed condition Outside inter
ference is uot tolerated in Russia, and the
emperor can upon occasion be as autocratio
as a railroad conductor or a New York
policeman.
Reciprocity is likely to prove productive
of a very lively campaign in Canada. Par
tisan feeling is running so high that experi
enced observers are predicting the hottest
contest since the Dominion government was
first formed. Even tho various religious
elements are becoming stirred to the high
est pitch of fervor. It will probably be a
great show.
Should that little 13-year-old Detroit girl
who undertakes to read people’6 minds with
so much of apparent success be able to tell
tbe country what Dictator Quay’s views
are upon politics in general and presidential
candidates in particular, then the world can
but be convinced thnt she is a genuine prod
igy of the mast penetrating character.
Paying 10 per cent, a month is no more
profitable in Paris than it ever was. An
other banker of buoyant spirit* has sud
denly found this out, and left for other
parts owing millions to depositors. Yet peo
ple will probably bite at the next similar
financial windfall that is offered. Crafti
ness usually over-reaches itself.

would make her ;io years old at the present
time. The ancieat lady lives with relatives
over on the Carmel, and has retained her mental
strength and physical rigor In a remarkable de

Gkorgz B. Smith, a mechanical engineer,
living with his wife and children at 125 Wythe
avenue, Brooklyn, was committed by Justice
Gretting recently for examination as to his
sanity. He was arrested aarly in the morning
while attempting to strangle his wife. Mrs.
Smith thinks that too close study of the Bible
was the cause of her husband's mental de
rangement. For the past twelve months be
had devoted all his spare time to reading the
scriptures, and he had bedevel be waa In per
sonal comrnunloation with the Almighty. He
imagined toot he had been commanded to ex
terminate his family, and was in the act of
carrying out what he believed to be the divine
injunction when he was arrested. It took two
pol cemen to put the handcuffs on him. He
had to be carried before the justice. He Is 30
years old. He has been acting strangely for
some time.
“Bunn Han, the sparrows' .friend," la one of
the most interesting inmates in tbe quarter for
blind men at Blockley Almshouse, Philadel
phia. Ha has been a resident of the ward many
years, and has made it his practice to feed tbe
little birds in one corner of tbe yard three times
a day, rain or shine. The birds hare got to
know him. and just before feeding time will
congregate in numbers outside on a tree, close
by the door through which he comes. They
have learned to know him, and, on his appear
ance, bail him with a storm of their chatter and
song. They fly to meet him, and will light
upon his shoulders and head. He carries a
stick, yet the little feathered friends sever fear
him, and keep close to their friend, ‘‘Blind Hal.”
When ho is ill the birds seem to know it, and
keep up such a noise that they have to be
frightened away by some of the officials.
“Blind Hal'’ is never so happy as when feeding
his little feathered friends.
Thk late Edward Howland of New York,
whose death in Mexico has just been announced,
belonged to one of the wealthy old families of
New York, and was a son of “old Ben |How
land,” the great cotton broker of Wall street.
All the family, both boys and girls, were highly
educated, and Edward, who has just died, and
two of his brothers were graduates of Harvard.
Edward went into business here witu his
father, but he did not like commercial life, ami,
being a wealthy young man, gave himself up to
soholamhl p, and took an interest in sundry
benevolent projects. At one time he established
here a literary and oritioal periodical called tbe
Philobiblim, and he also furnished money to
sustain another weekly paoer. He spent sev
eral years traveling In Europe, and lived for a
good while in London, where he kept house In
St. John’s wood, but afterward returned to
New York. In course of time he became im
poverished through an unfortunate business
investment. The last years of hts life were
passed in Mexico, at La Logia, in the provinoe
of Sinaloa, where he died at the age of 58, leav
ing no family.
Good Luck for Mr. Grimes.
Mr. Grimes of Georgia Ib one of the bachelor
members of the House of Representatives
whose age is not given In the Congressional
Directory. He is popular, eloquent, supersti
tious, and unlucky. He was defeated last fall
by a man unheard of uuMl vhs farmers' alliance
took him m>. In the Fiftieth congress .Hr.
Grimes had a bill passed appropriating £IOO,OOO
for a public building in Columbus. Ga. The bill
reached the white houae the day Mr. Cleveland
vetoed the Allentown, Po. bill as a punishment
of Congressman Snowden for his vote against
the Mills tariff bilk To be consistent. Mr. Cleve
land vetoed the Columbus bill. Mr. Grimes
succeeded in having the bill passed through
both Houses again this session, and it wentto
the white house a week ago. On Friday after
noon Mr. Grimes received a note from Private
Secretary Halford that the President would
consider the Columbus bill ou Saturday
morning, and that perhaps it would be
advisable for him to call at the man
sion early. Since the bill reached the
white house Mr. Grimes has been exceedingly
nervous about its fate. On Saturday morning
his first aet was to seek a clairvoyant. He
simply asked that Ms future might be unfolded.
The clairvoyant said that he would soon coma
into possession of a large and handsome brick
building, which would yield him a neat income.
A smile enlightened his handsome features, for
in the large brick building he imagined he saw
the Columbus postoffice. Then the clairvoyant
branched offinto t_.i about a pretty brunette
of the creole type he would soon meet, and
with whom he would become fascinated. The
admiration would be mutual, and within a
year they would be married. There was a
moment's silence. Then, with a look of ex
pectation and an attempt at a smile, Mr.
Grimes asked his first direct question:
"Enough of this. Will the President sign my
public building bill*"
Hie clairvoyant looked him in tbe eyes just for
a moment: then, oovering her face with her
handa, remained silent for awhile. Finally
she jumped to her feet, and exclaimed Ora
matioally:
“I see three large letteres."
"tv hat are they?" asked the Georgian in tones
of exqitemeat arid expectancy.
"Yas—y-e-s," whispered the clairvoyant.
Mr. Grimes threw a $5 bill au the table,
rushed ot*, jamped into a cab, and drove rap
idly to the white house. He was ushered into
Mr. Harrison's private offiae, and found him
with the Columbus bill under consideration.
Mr. Qrimns, feeling hopeful and e thusiastio,
argued earnestly and eloquently that the Mil
might he rimed er else allowed to becuzue a
law without the President’s approval.
"I don't see haw I can do'either," replied tbe
President, “Congress has been too extravagant
in bestowing public buildings."
Then he went on to speak of the unpleasant
duty of vetoing bfils of this character, ar.d
courteously bade (lie Georgian adieu. Mr.
Grimes lost faith in clairvoyants. But be had
no reason to lose faith. The President finally
made up his mind to sign the bill, and did sign
it. And Mr. Grimes' faith in the science of
fortune-telling is as great as ever it was.
Three Generations of Flirtees.
From Temple Bar.
Your Grandmamma, of golden locks.
I flirted with throngh sun ami shade;
I flirted with your mother, and or,
In many a in flight masquerade;
And now you're sitting by my side
With gauzy tresses waving wide,
A winsome maid.
The flying summers have not woo’d
A dimple from that bright young brow;
But when I met your Mother first
She smiled ah you are smillhg now.
Like yours the form, the face ae fair,
I vow’d to keep her lock of hair—
And kept the vow.
One hand I bold—a captive small
In mute revolt—was mine misplaced?
Perhaps (observe, I say “perhaps",!
rt girdled someone's fairy waist—
Such complications, ’tis averr'd.
Might chance * * * nay, don't be vexed
I err’d
In point of taste I
I only meant to "Illustrate,'’
Or, as it were, rehearse the scene
Whicn fancy, ling’ring on the past.
Recalls with yoa, my dainty queen
Ah, yes: time changes, as you’d say—
Blanch'd beards should not be quite so gay,
But hearts are charm'd from growing gray

One bottle of Pastor Koenig's Nerve Tonic
cured me entirely, after physicians had tried
it unsuccessfully for 8 months to relieve me
of nervous debility. W. HUENNEFELD.
PEOPLE CAN HARDLY BELIEVE IT.
Jerseyville, 111., May 30th, 1888.
I take pleasure to let you know that vty boy is
still all ngta he has not had any of the spasms
since about March 20th. The people can hardly
believe it from the fact that ho had as many as 16
a day or more. I believe he wss a very nervous
ohilil all his life but did not show any signs of
spasms until las* December, after which they
came in regular succession, and I had 3 doctors
attending who could do nothing lor him, nor
even tell us what was the matter. I had despair
ed of his ever getting well, until I got Koenig’s
Nervo Tonic. After taking not quite a bottleful
he got quite well and has not had the least sign
of spasms sinoe. Respectfully yours,
MRS. E. LEYTON.
I testify to the facts as stated above to be
strictly true. JAS. HARTY, Pastor.

Wherever the middleman makes his ap
pearance. the purchaser has to hear the
burden. He is like the taxes which the
tariff imposes—the cost falls on the con
sumer. When you buy from a plaoe which
deals with the middleman, you pay satnuch
for the article you purchase and so much for
the support of the middleman. He is, like
all luxuries, expensive, and we have no use
for his services. One of the reasons why we
can sell you clothing so cheaply Is that we
have virtually thrown him out of doors.
