Perplexing Questions.
Some of the fathers of the new party
after the adjournment of conference at Cin
cinnati crossed the river to Covington and
had a talk with Senator Carlisle. They
wanted to find out what he thought of their
purpose* and projects. Among other things
they asked him wbat he thought of that
provision of their platform which look*
toward government ownership of the tele
graph lines and railroad*. He asked them
how they expected to get poeseeiiOD of the
telegraph lines end the railroads. They ad
mitted that they had not thought of that
phase of the question. They had simply
concluded that government owner
ship of the line* of transportation
and communication would be
a good thing for the people. He asked if it
was their purpose to confiscate them. They
said no, because that would be simply
robbery. The only other way the govern
ment could get possession of them, be said,
was to buy them, and he asked the fathers
of the new party if they had any idea what
amount of money would have to be paid
for them. They were astonished when told
that the amount invested in the railroad,
telegraph, steamboat and telephone lines of
the country was about $10,000,000,000, and
that there was a bonded debt upon them of
over $4,000,000,000. Those two sums equal
about seven times the amount of the na
tional debt at the close of the war. It has
taken twenty-five years to pay one-half of
that debt
Senator Carlisle wanted to Know if the
fathers of the new party thought that the
people were ready to tax themselves to pay
the enormous sum of $14,000,000,000 for the
satisfaction of having the government own
the transportation and telegraph and tele
phone lines. They had never thought of the
matter in the way Senator Carlisle stated it,
and they saw the utter folly of at least one
portion of their platform.
Senator Carlisle pointed out, also, that if
the government owned the lines of trans
portation and communication they would
have to be operated at a loss, because the
object of government ownership would be
low rates, and as the government
oould not operate them as cheaply
a* they are operated by private enter
prise the people would have to tax
themselves to maintain them. This view
was another surprise for the fathers of the
new party, but when Senator Carlisle told
them that if their proposition were adopted
the number of the employes of the govern
ment would have to be increased to 1,250,000
or 1,500,000, and that a party with
such vast patronage oould not be driven
from power, the new party fathers had
nothing to say. They virtually admitted
that the government ownership of telegraph
lines and railroads was utterly impractic
able.
Senator Carlisle said that the concentra
tion of the money power in a few hands
was a bad sign, but, he asked, "How are
you going to remedy it? Shall the legislat
ure say that when a man has earned SI,OOO
or SIO,OOO he shall not earn any more?”
The senator’s visitors returned to Cincin
nati greatly perplexed. The platform they
had adopted did not appear to be, after all,
so fine a piece of political work. They
recognize that it simply recited their griev
ances and proposed impracticable remedies
for them. And the platform, when it has
been teited by the common sense of the
oountry, will fail to command approval or
support.
The truth is that the doctrines of the
Democratic party are the only re uedy yet
suggested for preventing the money power
from getting into too few hands. The
policy of protection which has so long pre
vailed in this country keeps the farmers
poor and enables the few to accumulate
great fortunes. Abandon that polioy and
adopt the economic policy of the Democratic
party, and fewer great fortunes will be
made and the farmers will enjoy a much
larger share of the fruits of their labor.
The Tallahassee Deadlock.
There are rumors that that there will be
surprises in the Florida senatorial oontest
this week. It is to be hoped that they are
true. The people of Florida are about tired
of the contest in its present shape. It is
monotonous and the country outside of Flor
ida has lost all interest in it.
Call has neither gained nor lost any
ground worth mentioning during the last
two or three weeks. He still has a majority
of the oaucus, and, if the two-thirds rule
were abolished, he would be elected at once.
He has a remarkable hold upon his ad
herents—remarkable enough to excite the
admiratiou of those who are opposing him.
It would seem as if those opposing him
would be willing to let him have the sena
torship In view of the fact that they cannot
draw any of his strength away from him.
Asa matter of fact the opposition to Call
is not based upon the record or upon adouDt
of his fitness. It is largely, if not wholly,
personal. It is true that objections to his
course in the Senate upon several important
questions are made, but it is apparent that
the objections are not very serious ones and
are advanced more as a basis for opposition
than anything else.
It is probable that Call did make mistakes
in the Senate. What senator has not? But
from none of his mistakes can the inference
be justly drawn that he was not at all times
faithful to the interests of the people of
Florida. And no one can deny that he was
always at his post of duty.
And who is there who is likely to render
Florida better service in the Senate than he
has or will? Bloxbam is out of the contest,
and no one of the others who have been
mentioned compares favorably with Call.
If there is any man who would be more
acceptable to the people of the state and
who has the ability to render the state bet
ter service why not bring him forward at
once? That no such man has been presented
to the caucus is pretty good evidence that
he cannot be found.
Is there any doubt that Call is the choice
of the majority of the people of the state?
There ought not to be. The demonstrations
in the different counties called forth by the
senatorial coutest have about all been in his
favor. What better evidence oould there be
that the masses of the people favor him?
There will be need of democrats of ex
perience in legislation at Washington next
w inter. The policy of the democratic party
for the national campaign will bo shaped.
Would it not be a mistake for Florida,
therefore, under the circumstances, to send
anew and inexperienced man to the Senate j
Let Call's friends toake au extraordinary
effort in hi* behalf this week, and end the
coutest in bis favor.

TTIE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, MAY 24, 1891—TWELVE PAGES.
Let the Blacks Help Themselves.
At the annual meeting of the trustee* of
the Slater fand in New York, a few days
ago. Dr. Attious G. Haygood. of this state,
made an addreet which is receiving much
favorable comment It was in effect that
the colored people should be so helped in
educational and other matters that the de
sire to help themselves would be strength
ened. The Slater fund, as is well-known, it
used to assist colored youths In getting an
education, and Dr. Haygood has been con
nected with the management of it for nine
year*. His experience has taught him that
the more the blacks are helped the less they
will try to help themselves. They will be
come more and more dependent, and henoe
will fail to develop self-reliance, which is so
essential to the success of individuals or
races. And the blacks are not different
from the whites in this respect. It is a
well-known fact that assisted beggars never
reform. As long as they have their barest
necessities supplied they make no exertion
in their own behalf. And that is why indis
criminate alms-giving does harm rather
than good.
Rev. T. M. Armisteadof Petersburg, Va.,
br light out forcibly the doctrine that the
blacks should be taught to help themselves
in a speech he delivered at the colored Bap
tist convention of Virginia recently. A
delega e from the north had urged that
$5,000 be raised “to help their colored
brethren of the South.” The Rev. Armistead
said: “I am opposed to any more such
help from the north. I would say to the
home mission board of New York, Put your
money somewhere else and let us helD our
selves. If we are ever to stand alone, now
is the time to do so. But as long as our
northern brethren rock the cradle for us
we will be children, and forty years hence
we shall be as dependent on northern help
as now."
If more of the colored preachers would
adopt this tone in addressing their congre
gations the advancement of the colored
race would be muoh more rapid. If the
blacks were compelled to contribute mere
freely of their means for the support of the
publio schools they would have a much
higher appreciation of the schools aud
would make greater efforts to profit by
them. As long as they are treated as de
pendents they will remain dependents; they
will make no progress, but they will acquire
qualities which will make their relations
with the whites more strained.
It is doubtful if any of the funds con
tributed by northerners for the education of
southern blacks has been of any real benefit
to the black race. Had the blacks been left
unaided to struggle with the difficulties
which they encounter they would be much
better fitted for citizenship than they are.
Rector Newton Demands a Trial.
Rev. Heber Newton, rector of All Souls’
ohurcb, New York, is anxious to meet his
accusers. If he is a heinous heretic he
wants to know it, and he wants all the
world to know it. In a letter to BistaOß
Potter, however, he expresses himself in a
way that leaves no doubt that he is fully
confident of his ability to refute satisfacto
rily all the charges which have been brought
against him by the eminent Christian gen
tlemen of his denomination who have so
suddenly developed a desire for hunting
heretics.
I)r. Newton appears to be profoundly
surprised that his critics, having failed to
attack him three years ago, when the
doctrines he is preaching were published by
him in a book, which was very generally
circulated, should now charge him with
heresy and demand that he be tried. He
can only explain this inconsistent conduct
on the ground that the church is in a panic,
and that men are striking out blindly with
out seeing clearly the object at which they
are striking.
One of the reasons why I)r. Heber New
ton demands a trial is that there may be
worse evils for a constitutional church than
a heresy trial. It is, he says, "the free re
sort to extra-legal means in order to work
up the religious rancor under which a pres
byter is impeached, tried and condemned,
without a hearing before judge or jury.
When such lawlessness prevails, may it not
be well to lead it on into the legal action in
which alone can the church be saved from
the reproach of an ecclesiastical lynching;
otherwise what is to be expected, save that
we shall suffer from that most cruel of all
despotisms, the tyranny of publio opinion,
under which the clergy will be terrorized,
honest thought bo banned, sincere utter
ance be silenced, and an era of mental cow
ardice aud moral hypocrisy open upon us in
our church, which has hitherto rejoiced in
the liberty of law? Where will be found
the self-respecting young men to enter a
church the sign of whose thinking is to be a
yoke, the symbol of whose teaching is to be
a muzz’e?"
Dr. Heber Newton prefers a trial to “an
ecclesiastical lynohiug.” He sees quite
clearly that those of his brother clergymen
who have called the bishop's attention to
the doctrines he is preaching will make it
uncomfortable for him if he doesn’t have
the question whether or not he is in har
mony with the church settled by the proper
tribunal. And there is no doubt that he is
right in this. Already there are ominous
mutterings, and it will not be well for the
bishop to disregard them.
But is it not rather singular that doctrinos
which passed unchallenged three years ago
should now be attacked and denounced?
Truly, it looks as if the church were in a
pauic, as Ur. Heber Newton says, and as if
the heretic hunters, after a long period of
repose, had started with renewed energy in
search of victims.
Michigan goes in for entertaining the
grand army iu the most elaborately expen
sive manner. To that end the legislature
has appropriated $30,000 as the state’s con
tribution toward furnishing the veterans a
good time. As the law-makers passed the
appropriating resolution by a two-thirds
majority the governor’s promised veto of
the plan is only likely to delay its final
adoption. Still the amount seems rather
large for such a purpose, as such a cele
bration is not a state affair it does appear
that the money would he more appropri
ately made up by private contributions.
Therefore the oppositiou to this gift that
has been developed is not unreasonable.
Notwithstanding the opposition of some
of the more illiberal members of ths Epis
copal ministry In New York Dr. Brooks se

to bis own personal popularity. Although

dence. They couldn't play cards. They didn’t
feel like slugging. So they forgot to light the
gas, sat around the grate Are and talked.
A young man who had just returned from a
trip around the world told, among other things,
of a clever thief who gained entrance to the
treasure chamber of an Indian rajah.
“The thief,” said the traveler, "then turned
his attention to an immense chest, full to the
brim with silver coins. He filled a sack until he
could just stagger under it, and even then he
had to make five trips before tbe chest was
empty. Tnere was just $1,000,000. and "
“The weight of 5i,000,000 in silver coin.”
broke in a voice from tbe dusk, “is 58,939.9
pounds avoirdupois. ”
A young railroad engineer recounted the
marvels of the new railroad up Pike's Peak.
“This wonderful piece of engineering,” he
said, “is the highest railroad in the United
States. It is ”
“The highest railroad in this country,” said
the voice, “is the Denver and South Park, a
branch ot the Union Pacific, at Apine Tunnel,
11,596 feet above the sea level.”
The conversation turned to the celebration of
birthday anniversaries.
“ What a pretty custom it is,’’ said a pretty
girl. “And it is so old, too. 1 was reading the
other day that it dates back to the times of the
early Saxons. I thiok-—”
“Inthe fortieth chapter of Genesis, twentieth
verse,” said the voices "you will find the follow
ing: ‘And it came to pass the third day, which
was Pharaoh’s birthday, that he made a feast
to all his servants.’ ”
A young man who is making a name for him
seif in the electrical world discoursed on his
favorite theme.
“I have been experimenting on the incan
descent lamp,” he said, “and have silfcceeded
in making one that burned 8,000 nours.
and——”
“The longest time on record,” broke in the
voice, “is 10,608 hours and minutes.”
Tnen they talked of noveis
"T don’t think it’s fair," said the hostess, a
pronounced blonde, “that all the authors should
make their heroines brunettes nowadays. It
isn’t ’’
“Last year,” interrupted the voice, out of 562
heroines 372 were blondes.”
Then they talked of going home -and went.
Nearing tbe End.
"Can I do anything for you to-day?" asked a
Graad street clothing dealer of a young New
York World man who stopped at his door.
“Nothing in particular. See this suit? I
bought it here six weeks ago.”
“Are you sure?”
“Dead, sure, but I’m not going to kick. See,
how it has shrunk? Some men would rip and
tear, and blast your eyes, but that’s not me.
You didn't guarantee tnis suit to stand a change
of climate, and I wore it up to Troy, and stayed
there four days.”
“I see the dye has run.”
“Exactly. Crocked my hands all up a black
and blue color, as if I had beeu mashing straw
berries. but you didn’t warn me not to walk six
miles in a rain storm.”
"No.”
“See how the buttons havo come off? It isn’t
your fault, though. You didn't guarantee that
they were sewed on with a waxed thread.”
"Of course not.”
“See how the coat ripped up the baok? I got
a harness-maker up in Harlem to put in a few
Btitches, but I’m not kicking about that. You
didn’t tell me not to try to board a freight train
and get slung seventeen feet high.”
“No.”
“Paid you $9 for the suit. It was a regular
$lB suit, but to boom the spring trade you cut
the priae in two Such action showed enter
prise and liberality on your part, and 1 hope
your spring trade boomed like a bar’l of hor
nets."
"Yes, I had a good trade,” replied the puzzled
dealer. "Gan Ido anything for you?”
"Just a trifle. I want one of your photo
graphs If you have one handy. I want to keep
it with me as tbe face of an honest, conscien
tious man ”
“But 1 have none.”
"Then I will endeavor to Imprint your phiz on
the walls of memory instead. She is imprinted.
Let us shake hands and say farewell. You
are an upright man and lam no kicker. Good
by.”
He went away bowing and smiling and wav
ing his hand, and the dealer looked after him
and whispered:
“Let’s see. I wonder if to-day is the date
predicted by that Indiana fellow for the world
to corns to an end?” M. Quad.
Ho Was a New Yorker.
A New Yorker who was in lowa this spring,
says tb* New York World, was introduced to a
native oae day, who inquired:
“Are you from New York city?"
“Yes."
“Live right there?”
“Yes, tor the last thirty years.”
“Then you know all about the city, of course.
I waDt to make a few inquiries. You’ve been
down to the Statue of Liberty and I"——
“Excuuse me, but I haven't been down there;
I’ve simply seen the figure from afar.”
“Well, you know, wh-n you go down to the
Battery you come to a place they call the’
"Beg i>ardon, but its fifteen years since I was
at the battery.”
“You don’t say! Well, a feller here he saw
Cleopatra's needle in Central park, and he said
it was over 200 feet high. Is it?”
“My dear man, I never saw it. I know it’s
there, but I never set eyes on it. ”
“Good lands! But you can tell me about
Coney Island? How far is Brighton Beach
from’’—-
“It is a dozen years since I was down there.”
“But you ean tell me howto reach Blackwell’s
Island, can’t you?”
“I think you take a boat or something, but I
was never there.”
"You’ve been across the bridge!’’
“Once or twice, but it was a good while ago.
I suppose it’s there yet. or the papers would
have said something about it.”
“My friend,” said tbe other, as he stepped
back and looked the New Yorker over, “do you
know anything about your town?”
“No. air. 1 oan get down town and back
again by the Sixth avenue L road, find Wall
street and two or three others near by, and I
might possibly find tbe postoffice and the city
ball in a clear day. Good morning, sir!”

One must travel from the north end of Jasper
county to the south end to realize the great dif
ference in Texas temperature. Crops may
safely be planted in the southern end of the
county a month earlier than in the northern
part. Oranges may be raised in the south end
of the county with more safety than figs In the
north end. Serious damage was caused to the
fruit crop at Jasper by the late cold spring, yet
twenty miles below town it seems not to have
affected vegetation in any manner.
A native of Westphalia namod Gwascher,
now residing at Brandon, Minn,, has written to
the authorities of his native town to collect
funds to enable him to make the tour of the
world on horseback. He assures them that he
will never quit the saddle except for the pur
pose of sleeping and embarking at San Fran
cisco for Shanghai and at Havre for New York.
Thus he is certain great honor will be reflected
upon his binhplace. Up to the present writing
the Citizens of Westphalia have not exhibited
any enthusiasm fog the scheme, and the paper
can find no better headlines for it than “Toe
American Humbug,” “The Fraud on Horse
back," etc.
Some women can keep their husbands at home.
Other women cannot do so. The former gen
erally are pleased with their faculties in that
direction. Instances have been recorded in
which wives complained that their husbands
were around the house too much. Women visit
each other and no reasonable complaint is made
Many men after their day's toil is over visit
their friends. No true wife would seek to deny
her husband rational license in that direction.
Some wives see but little of their husbands.
The latter seem possessed to pass all their hours
of rest in drinking places Wives in this class
are to be pitied and so are ttieir husbands.
After all, tnere are a great many wives who
need no recipes for catching their husbands
again and a great many husbands who do not
need to be caught again. These pe> p e live up
to the vow of cleaving to each other "for better,
for worse." For them and for their examples
let us be thankful.
A New York diamond dealer relates the fol
lowing story: "A few days ago an unsophisti
cated couple, hailing from one of the flourish
ing viliag sof Long Island, made their way
Into my office, aud after fishing out a small
paper from the depths of an exaggerated hand
bag, ask' and me to examine a stone it contained.
It was a diamond about half a carat in weight.
The possessors, on being assured that it was
genuine, nudged each other, grinned and
looked as if they had suddenly acquired posses
sion of a bouth Africa mine. Inquiry- on my
part soon eli ited the fact that the wife had dis
covered the treasure in the crop of a chicken
purchased at the regular market price from a
local butcher. A few days later the couple
called again, this time to sell the diamond.
They intormed me that wild excitement pre
vailed In their village, especially in tue neigh
borhood of the butcher's shop, which has been
besieged ever since the discovery of the dia
mond by a crowd of eager women, seeking to
invest their ready money in all sorts and con
ditions of poultry.’*
The degree of delicacy which has been at
tained in the application of the radio-micro
meter for the measurement of radiant heat,
viz.: from a candle, a Are, the sun, tno moon!
the stars, or anything else which radiates heat
through space, is marvelous. An appreciable
effect is produced on toe radio-micrometer by a
candle placed two miles away, at which dis
tance its light is almost comparable to that of
a barely visible nebula. The latest measure
ments by Prof. Boys show that the heat of the
lunar rays can be aefinitely determined as 150,-
000 gr a ter than those of a candle twenty feet
away. The difference of radiation between a
moon nineteen days old, which goes through
the skv with Its dayk edge foremost, and the
nine day moon, in which the bright edge go. s
forward, and the diminished heat at the term'
nator, as compared with the luminous part of
the disc, shows in a wonderful way the discrimi
nating power of the instrument. Prof. Boys’
experiments fully comflrm the inference drawn
from earlier observations that the heat of the
moon does not accumulate by penetrating be
neath her surface; it lasts only from moment
to moment as supplied by the sun.
Arnold Briskworth is exhibiting with much
pride a specimen of the Flour de Lime, the ex
istence of which has often been doubted, but
which was sent Mr. Brinkworth a few months
ago by a friend residing in Obydos, Brazil, says
the New York Journal It was obtained for
him by an Indian who found it growing in a
swamp in the depths of the Amazonian forests
and is the only specimen which has ever reached
this country alive. Those who have been fa
vored by a glimpse of the curiosity say it is a
delicate, tenacious vine, covered with small
glossy leaves of a bright and very tender green
climbing to a higlit of four or five feet, bearing
here and there a milk-white blossom of a disk
like shape. When the moon is at its
first quarter a distinct shadow or
stain of a deep yellow, which
seems rather in ihan out of the flower and cor
responding to the, shape of the moon, makes its
appearance on this disk, and grows as t ie planet
does, until, when at its full size, the yellow stain
covers the entire flower. As tne moon begins
to wane again this retreats in the same ratio
and finally disappears ail together, to return
once more as the new moon is seen to come
back. When the planet sets, the flower closes
and does not unfold until the moon rises on the
following night. It pursues this course month
after month, whether placed in the open air or
kept in a hothouse, though under the latter cir
cumstances the yellow tint is much paler and
more undecided, while the white surface takes
on a dingy, unhealthy tinge. The plant sub
sists a most entirely on air, its roots being
barely covered with a little moist gravel.
This public is frequently warned by the med •

practice of dampening the gum on envelopes

cases of virulent and serious diseases which
have been traced to such an origin, the practice
is still almost universal. Am-ng attempts
which have been made to provide a means of
escaping the necessity of licking t ie envelope is
an automatic lock envelope, which has iust lj,-rn
