Like King John with his memorable bill
the United States warships sailed down to
Chile and now they are serenely sailing
back again. There was not much savage
fighting to be done.
No wonder tint Portugal is threatened
with another revolution. Some of the
newly elected legislators are trying to ring
in a high protective tariff on the people.
That’s only their impetuous way of in
timating that they won’t stand it. Toey
are not much to blame. Their provocation
is very great.
Calling Editor Hurlbert “a monster”
6hows that the fair Actress Gladys Eve
lyn’s counsel, who bears the delicious name
of Candy, is by eo means as sweet as his
lovely name implies. Still the declaration
may have been perfectly true from his
standpoint of injured innocence. Never
theless it was shockingly unlike the sweet
ness of Candy.
Sleeping-car porters are noted for rob
bing tbe passengers, but something larger
than an ordinary passenger is required to
satisfy tbe conductor. Lately one of these
lordly individuals was arrested in Boston
for robbing the United States of
SIOO,OOO or more by systematic smuggling.
Contraband goods were concealed in odd
places about tbe pajace car for passengers
in Montreal and the conductor divided with
the dishonest passengers the result of the en
terprise when the train reached Boston.
Profits were large and the thrifty conduc
tor couid well afford to live a very luxu
rious life.
Father Molllnger’a Miracles.
Father Mollinger, the priest at Pittsburg
who has the reputation of being a faith
curer, is reported to be seriously ill. He is
a strong man, mentally and physically, but
the strain upon bim during the week end
ing June ldth was greater than even his
robust health oould stand. His fame as a
curer of all kinds of aliments has steadily
grown, and on St. Anthony’s day, fully
2.5,000 t >eople visited the church of which he
is a priest. As many as 6,000 of them were
afflicted with real or imaginary ills, and
they expected to be benefited by the heal
ing influence which, it is believed, he de
rives from St. Anthony. Some very re
markable scenes were witnessed and some
wonderful cures wore reported.
Father llollinger does not boast of his
healing influence. If he believes that any
power for healing the sick is transmitted to
him by St. Anthony he does not say so. He
has considerable knowledge of medicine and
he is able to tell pi etty accurately the na
ture of the diseases from which persons are
suffering, and if he is not able to produce a
beneficial effect upon them by his will
power ho gives them prescriptions, which
are nearly always the same, and which are
filled by one druggist. He makes no
charges, but those who apply to him are
expected to make contributions, and the
price of the prescriptions are $2 and up
ward. It is probable, therefore, that quite
an income is derived from Father Moilin
ger’s supposed healing power.
Whether those of the afflicted who have
faith in the supposed healing influence of
the good priest receive any permanent bene
fit or not is a question concerning which
there is a groat difference of opinion. There
is r.o doubt that there are many who declare
that they have been cured by him after reg
ular physicians have failed to do them any
good, but the question is, had such persons
anything more than imaginary ailments?
And if they had, were they not such ail
ments as yield quickly to a hopeful frame
of mind? Regular physicians recognize the
fact that there are afflicted persons who re
ceive no benefit from medicines, but who
can be cured if they can be made to believe
that they will get well. Such persons are
troubled with nervous disorders of one kind
or another, and a healthy, hopeful mental
condition is all that is necessary to bring
about their recovery.
Father Mollinger is not an impostor. He
makes no pretensions. He simply recog
nizes the fact that upon oertain people who
are ill he exercises a health giving influence.
He does not pretend that this influence
supernatural. He makes no claim to a
power to work miracles, and it is probable
that if the truth were known about many
of the alleged miracles said to be performed
by him, it would be found that that there
was nothing wonderful about them.
The peoplo who resort to him for help are
ignorant, poor and superstitious. They are
the kind of people to have the faith that is
necessary to effect cures in certain kinds
of diseases. If they notice a slight improve
ment in their condition they magnify many
times what has been accomplished in their
cases. And ttLt is one of tho reasons why
it is so difficult to discover whether or not
Father Mollinger accomplishes anything
that is worth more than a mere passing
notice.
This faith cure business has had a strong
hold upon the human mind for many centu
turies, and doubtless it will continue to
attract more or less attention, but, as a gen
eral rule, those who have figured as faith
curers have not had a permanent popularity.
They have not been able to retain the confi
dence in their healing power which ,thoy
have inspired. And the reason is that they
really do nothing outside of ordinary exoe
rieuce. They accomplish nothing that
others cannot do, and most of their alleged
wonderful cures turn out to be no cures at
all. And so, doubtless, will it prove to be
in Father Mollinger’s case. In fact, his
popularity is already on the wane, and in a
few years more St. Anthony’s day will not
be an unusual one in his experience. The
thousands of disease-stricken people who
now annually make a pilgrimage to his
church will no longer believe he has tho
power to make them well.
Bad Policy.
In an interview in Buffalo the other day
Senator Carlisle said that in his opinion it
would be “exoeediugly bad policy to permit
the silver question to become a paramount
one in 1892.” He said that it was a question
upon which there are honest diffeqances of
opinion in the Democratic party, while
there ore other questions of equal or greater
importance upon which the democrats are
thoroughly united. In his judgment it
would be wiser to concentrate the whole
democratic strengtli instead of dividing it.
The wisdom of these views of Senator
Carlisle cannot be overestimated. Of his
sincerity or his democracy no one can have
a doubt. He is not a millionaire, a gold bug,
or an apologist for monopolists. He is one
of the people, and all his sympathies are
with the masse?. He wants to see the Dem
ocratic party in control of the government,
because he believes that the country will be
more prosperous under democratic rule.
And tne Democratic party has an excel
lent chance for success in 1892. There is
nothing to fear from the People’s party, for
if the election should be thrown into the
House a democrat would be chosen Presi
dent.
Ail that is needed for democratic success
in 1892 is wise action on the part of the
party. There must be a firm stand for
democratic principles. Let there be no con
cessions that are inconsistent witn those
principles and victory is certain.
Computations of the prospective amount
that the government will be called upon to
pay out in sugar bounties as calculated by
the financial editors of various prominent
newspapers in different parts of the country
disclose quite a discrepancy in the amount
and diversity of opinion as to the crop
aggregate. While two or three estimate
the total amount of the required bounty
money at *8,000,000, the New York World
puts it at *12,000,000 and the Philadelphia
Record reckons it at $15,000,000, and inti
mates that that may prove rather under than
over the mark. At all events it will amount
to enough to make the planters feel pretty
comfortable and cause the instigators and
supporters.of wildcat tariff legislation to
feel strongly inclined to kick themselves
across the continent.
Sluggers Sullivan and Slavin are slated
for another of those brutal fistio mills that
are generated and fostered by eastern en
lightenment and cultivation. Some rowdy
lsh organization called an "atbletio club”
in Omaha has promised to put up $25,000
for the great animals to struggle for like a
pair of bulldogs or wild beasts fighting over
a bone. That is what the intelligent people
of a civilized oommunity call “scientific
sport.” Then what is a bear fight! f .
THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JUNE 21,1891-TWELVE PAGES.
Elklne Wants Damages.
The seals in Bering sea are giving the
government an immense amount of trouble.
Secretary Blaine made himself sick in try
ing to ward off serious tronble with Eng
land about them, and the agreement he
made by which neither this country nor
Canada shall take any seals this season, ex
cept 7,500 for food for the na
tives of the Alaskan islands, has
opened the door for trouble with
the North American Commercial
Company, of which Mr. Steve Elkins, the
great friend of Mr. Blaine, is the chief
member. The North American Commer
cial Company has a contract with the gov
ernment by which it is authorized
to take 60,000 seals each year. The
agreement with England prevent# it
from getting any seals of consequence this
season, and, therefore, it wants the govern
ment to make good the profits it would
have made had it been permitted to carry
out its contract.
It is worthy of notice that the company
did not make a very vigorous protest
against the agreement with England. It
didn't desire to take seals provided the gov
ernment would pay it as much as it would
make if permitted to take them. And it
looks as if it i.ad a pretty good claim against
the government. It kept very quiet while
the negotiations with England were In pro
gress, because it felt pretty certain that it
would lose nothing whether the negotia
tions were successful or not.
Its claim can hardly be regarded as a
modest one. It asks for $550,000. If it is
allowed that sum it will have no cause to
complain. It will be a great deal better off
than if the agreement had not been made,
because the seals will be much more
numerous next season than they are this,
and the company, probably, will then be
permitted to take more than 60,000 seals in
a season.
The agreement by which the sealeries are
cloeed this season promises therefore to be a
very good thing for the North American
company. If it gets its claim for damages,
and there is not much reason to doubt that
it will, its treasury will be just as full as if
it took all the seals its contract
calls for. And if it had
taken 60,000 seals this season
there would not have been, from all ac
counts, many seals to take next season, and
therefore its contract with the government
would not have been a profitable one. By
giving the seals a chance to multiply the
value of its oontract is increased. It is cer
tainly increased a great deal if the claim
for damages is admitted. Mr. F.lkina is a
very shrewd business man. And Mr. Blaine
probably knew that the North American
company would claim damages if the
taking of the usual number of
seals this season was prohibited. But he
said nothing about that phase of the matter.
He thought probably that it was wiser to
get rid of one troublesome question before
considering another, and, besides, he may
not have been averse to letting his friend
Elkins have a chance to get a nice little
sum in the shape of damages from the gov
ernment.
A Mad Ruler.
The opinion prevails in Port-au-Prince
that Hippolyte, the president of Hayti, is
insane. He certainly acts as if he were.
No sane man, unless he were a monster of
wickedness, would be guilty of such crimes
as he has committed recently. His brutal
soldiers, by his orders, have shot to death
some of the leading men of the republio,
and the hopeless victims were not even
given a trial. Some were murdered in the
streets, and four were dragged from the
Mexican consulate, where they had sought
an asylum.
And when the diplomatic corps called
upon Hippolyte to pretest against the viola
tion of the Mexican consulate as an asylum
of refuge they were outrageously iasulted.
For a short time they thought they were to
be shot It is said that the oolored Ameri
can minister, Frederick Douglass, trembled
with fright. It would not be surprising if
he should ask for a leave of absence. He
has had all the experience in the Black Re
public that he wants.
The British and German consuls talked so
sharply to Hippolyte that he in turn became
alarmed, and begged the consuls to say
nothing to their respective governments
about his treatment of them. And be
promised solemnly that in future he would
respect the residences of tne members of the
diplomatic corps.
Hayti is in a worse condition to-day than
it has been for years. Neither life nor
property is sale there. And the prospect
for the future is not bright. The truth is,
the Black Republio is a failure. Hippolyte
is a king rather than a president, and a
very despotio one. And for years there has
been no stable government on the island.
One revolution has succeeded another with
remarkable rapidity, and each one has been
marked by barbarities that have shocked
the civilized world.
Tbe blacks of Hayti are not fit tor self
government. They are ignorant, supersti
tious and brutal. They have no idea of what
good government is. They are obedient to
force only. Their beautiful and fertile
island is relapsing into a wilderness. Even
the roads are being obliterated. And if
any part of this country should pass to the
absolute control of the blacks a similar con
dition of affairs would exist in that locality.
In a recent interview Gov. Campbell
very spiritedly declared that he will not
only be renominated but re-elected gover
nor of Ohio. That is expressing a,'great
deal of confidence. But the governor
should know his own chances about as well
as anybody. Still the most modest of men
frequently place so much reliance upoa in
sincere promises as to overestimate their
own strength. Cleaning out that Cincin
nati clique of conspirators should entitle
Gov. Campbell to re-election if nothing else
does. *
An Italian laborer who built a roaring
fire in an almost empty stationary engine
and then climbed up on top of it and sat
down to warm, got a very sudden start up
in tbe world in New York the other day.
Since he got baok he has lost faith in
engines, and spends most of bis time in a
convenient hospital. Next time he wants
to "warm up” he will probably build bis
fire on top of something that will not be
likely to let go so impulsively, and then
he will not “warm up” quite so high.

Honest Old Tom.
Two years ago there died an old man who. as
a learned and just judge, says Youth's Compan
ioned long commanded the respect of the com
munity. Forty years before he had gone to the
city where he lived a penniless young lawyer,
and had slowly earned for himself an honorable
position.
He had never married, and never could be
tempted to enter society, but lived always in
the same quiet apartments, surrounded by his
books and a few friends, who greatly respected
and loved him. Every Sunday, no matter how
stormy, found him in his obscure seat in church,
devout and earnest; but he never cou and be per
suaded to hold aoy office, even the humblest in
the church.
He was so just a judge, so rigid in bis integ
rity, that his townsmen affectionately dubbed
him "Honest old Tom.”
He died after a lingering illness, with a few
faithful friends about him. When they begaD
to prepare him for tne grave, they found upon
his chest the letter T branded with a hot iron—
the most degrading punishment inflicted in the
southern states.
The just judge, the faithful Christian, had
once been convicted as a thief.
The astonishment at the discovery was great.
His nearest friends bowed over his coffin in sor
row at the revelation, forgetting that the shut
lips could never deny the charge, nor speak a
word in his defence.
But there were voices to speak for him.
Men and women were eager to tell what they
knew of hi* private life. It was found that
each year he bad given to benevolent objects
the largest part of his income.
Nurses from the hospitals spoke of him now
as a visitor who had often come to bring lux
uries to the poor patients, and to comfort them
with kind words.
Officers of jails and penitentiaries spoke
tenderly of him. To many a poor, battered
prisoner he had gone as a brother, and held out
a hand in an endeavor to lift him up to a clean,
nonest life again.
Out of the obscure quarters of the city there
came, on the day of bis burial, women whom
ne had rescued from a life of shame, and
orphan children whom he had befriended.
When he was carried to the grave, these were
his mourners. They crowded silently about his
coffin, tears on their pale faces The man
whom Christ sent to help them was gone His
brotherly sympathy they had felt; they did Dot
know its secret spring, tor realize that another
could sympathize with them as he sympathized.
Good Christian men who had never been
tempted and overcome as he had been, talked
to them as from a bight. He stood beside
them; he seemed to speak out of the depths of
his heart.
He had been In the slough. He knew the
Hand that could lead them out of it. He held
it in his own, eTery step of the way.
The old minister, looking at these men and
women standing about the grave, said with
almost a voice of triumph, “Blessed are the
dead who die in the Lord." For he saw a mean
ing of great courage and hope in this poor
tidef’s life. It was that the man who repents
of his sin and forsakes it, may be fitted for
higher work in Christ's service than he who has
never battled with sin and been helped to vio
tory.
The multitude whom St. John saw standing
nearest to the throne in heaven were not those
whose garments had never been stained, but
they who had washed their robes and made
them white by faith and through obedience "to
him who loved them aud gave himself for
them." __
She Wanted News.
"If there’s any important news," said the
Chicago Tribune newspaper man's wife,
"wake me up when you come home, and tell me
about it.’’
And the next morning as he was walking
home he hastily reviewed the news of the night
to put himself in shape.
'AVake up," he said, when he got there.
"There's a war with Italy on.”
"About what?” she asked, as she yawned and
stretched her arms.
"Why, you know, in that New Orleans
affair”
“O, that old thing,” she Interrupted. "What
else?”
"Well, at one of the Harrison meetings to
night"—
"O. yes, of course. Politics. Always poli
tics."
"Lyman Gage has refused"
• 'Who cares.' Give me some news."
“Well, then, the princess”
"A European scandal. There’s one every
day.”
The newspaper man sighed, thought a mo
ment. and t hen said;
“I don’t think of anything more except a little
local paragraph about Mrs. Brown having left
her husband. ’
"Mrs. Brown! No? You non’t mean it!” and
she sat up in bed. “Why, she only lives a few
blocks from here. I see her go by nearly every
day. What do you suppose is the matter! Will
either of them apply for a divorce?”
“I don’t know,” he said. “There Is much
doubt about it. ’’
She looked at him scornfully for a moment
and then said:
“And you pretend to get out a newspaper.
Bah!”

How a New Yorker Got His Start.
A young member of the Manhattan Club who
earns something more than a comfortable
living as a lawyer in this city, says tbe New
York Times, happens to have an otd friend of
bis father for a client. This old friend in ques
tion is a rich retired merchant, full of sim
plicity aDd recollections. H- lives in a hand
some country place up the Hudeon. The other
night he was obliged to remain in town, and
the young lawyer took him up to the Manhat
tan Club for dinner.
“We have a very nico olub house here, Mr
M., said the proud Manhattanite, a? he con
ducted his venerable friend to a cozy table in
a corner.
"Yes, yes,” said the old man, “but this
property once served a more useful pumose."
“Indeed! You mean before Mr. Stewart
bought it?"
“Yes. a long time before then. Why, my
boy, here is where I got my start in life. Forty
five years ago 1 leased a patch of farm land
pretty near tnis spot, and raised citrons on it
for tne market. ”

Therels a very good story told concerning a
certain social leader in Boston. At an evening
musicale last winter she appeared in a tres de
collete gown with her hands thrust into a muff
of white fur. Sweeping up to her hostess, she
apologized for bringing her muff into
the drawing-room. “But,” said she, "I
have such a severe cold I really did not dare
to come without it." and the bystanders, look
ing at her bare neck and shoulders, smiled in
voluntarily.
There is an old story about the merchant of
Milwaukee, who, during the civil war, being an
excellent hand at sketching, drew most ad
mirably on the wall of his store a negro's bead,
and underneath it wrote, in a manner worth v
of the Delphic oracle, "Dis union foreber."
Whether the sentence meant loyalty to the
union or not was the puzzling question which
the gentleman himself never answered, always
replying to inquiries, "Hi ad it for yourselves,
gentlemen.” Thus it came to be a saying in
the town that "no one knows how dat darkey
stood on de war question." Another similar
story of more recent origin is about a question
which iB puzzling the young ladies who attend
a western female college. It seems that one of
them discovered that some person had written
on the outer wall of the college: "Young women
should set good examples, for young men will
follow them," The question now perplexing
the heads of several of the young ladies of the
college is whether the writer meant what was
written in a moral or in an ironical sense.
Even grief furnishes by contrast a certain
grade of comedy. The late Senator Hearst.
worth many millions of dollars wouldn’t have
cared much if his estate panned out a hundred
thousand more or less, and it may be doubted
if his heirs would care the turn of a hand and
consider a plum like that worth plucking.
W ithout considering that, however, it will be
interesting to our contemporaries as matter of
news to know that some months prior to his
decease one of those seductive agents known as
life insurance men approached the then live and
active senator with a proposition to insure his
life for SIOO,OOO. The agent was a discharged
employe of the Equitable, Brother Hyde s great
company. Yielding to his blandishments, the
late Brother Hearst signed an application for
SIOO,OOO and paid the premium. The agent of
th Equitable in San Francisco approved the ap
filication subject to the indorsement of Brother
lyde in New York. Brother Hyde, being a
solden5 olden pillar in the sanctuary of the Rev. Dr.
ohn Hall, naturally behoved in original sin, so
he put his agents to work to ascertain the
physical condition of tho applicant.
A young medical student from the south at
tending lectures in New York tells in a New
Orleans paper how he cured a patieut who was
suffering with with a curious ailment. The
patient was an old negro, who for many weeks
had been gradually wasting away from no ap
parent cause. When questioned by his family
as to the nature of his trouble, the old fellow
W ould sadly shake his head and !>eg tnemnot to
press the question. The young student no
ticed the old man’s emaciated coudition one
day, and, becoming interested in the matter,
made it his business to find
out what the ailment was. It was
a difficult job to extort any In
formation from the aged patient, but finally he
broke dow-n and confessed that he had been be
witched and had a lizard in his arm. The
student gravely assured the negro that taking
reptiles from bewitched people was tits speciaF
ty, and that he hail stocked several menageries
in that way. He finally succeeded in gaining
the patient's confidence, and dismissed him
with a supply of bread pills ar.d instructions to
call the following week. When the negro put
in his appearance the next time the student had
a dead lizard in readiness and convinced his
patient that it was tne identical one that form
erly abided in his arm. He straightway began
to improve, and is now vigorous and hearty.
Many rears ago John Cornwall owned a piece
of land just on the outskirts of Lebanon, Pa.
It was a ridge of land about one mile long and
three-quarters of a mile vtide. On the property
was a fine bed of iron ore. A number of capi
talists wanted to buy the “Cornwall ore banks,”
as the ridge was called, and old Mr. Cornwall
was willing to sell to them at a certain price.
After a good deal of dickering a price was
agreed upon. The terms of the sate contained
the very serious provision that Cornwall was to
receive as a royalty enough iron ore, delivered
free, to run one furnace 365 days in the year,
the royalty to be paid “as long as grass grows
and water runs.” The Cornwall Ore Banks
Company, which was the concern that bought
the ridge, thought it could easily and
inexpensively perform that part of the
agreement, and so it could have done had the
capacity of the furnace been held at its original
output. But the shrewd Mr. Cornwall steadily
increased the capacity of the furnace and thus
increased his orders on the company for free
ore. Several suits have been brought by the
company to break the free ore part of the con
tract, but the courts have uniformly held that
the original contract called for free ore for the
furnace, the capacity of the furnace not being
specified, hence sufficient ore would have to be
supplied to keep one furnace going. Old John
Cornwall has been dead many years, but his
children and children's children have and are
now enjoying the large income that accrues
from the free-ore clause of that contract made
by their astute ancestor many years ago. The
value of the inheritance may be gauged when it
is considered that the ore yields 50 per cent ot
iron, besides enough silver and lead to pay the
cost of smelting.
On Oct. 16, 1850, three Methodist ministers
landed in San Francisco. They were the Kev.
Alfred Bannister, the Rev. Dr. M. C. Briggs and
tbe Rev. 8. D. Simonds. Of these pioneer clergy
men, Dr. Briggs and Mr. Simonds are still liv
ing. Recently a reception was given in honor
of the latter in San Francisco, and he was given
a testimonial in tbe shape of a well-filled purse.
At this reception Mr. Truebody, the oldest
Methodist on the Pacific coast, recited the story
of his devotional exercises in the years 1840-'SO,
during which he was preaoher, deacon, elder
and congregation all in one. Asnis Merrill
said: “When I bought the Alta California in
1855, I looked about for a man of ability to edit
the paper and selected S.D. Simonds. He made the
paper a strong free-soil journal, and put in his
spare time fighting the liquor interests. The ed
itor's office was then a dangerous one, but Mr.
Simonds was known to be a fearless man and
most dangerous if wrongly assailed, and 'tlio
Alta,' although threatened, was never actuahy
visited by braves.” “My first district, the
Shasta," said Mr. Simonds, in telltng’of nis early
experience, "was 300 miles wide and 300 miles
long, and to ride 5,662 miles in each yearly
round on muloback and camp along among tbe
wild animals of those land forests. The early
days were more dangerous on account of men
then other animals In 1855, while an editor, I
published a letter of Victor Hugo’s denouncing
slavery. Soon afterward I was visiting a small
town near San Francisco, and while passing
a little groggery was invited to
enter it by two very nice-looking men who
came from it. I went in and found a third man
paring his nails with a long bowie knife. The
mau with the knife immediately began hinting
that he would like to cut my heart out. I
turned to leave the place, but found that the
door was locked. After thinking a good deal in
a minute. I decided to die. I began hurling
scriptural texts at my captors unt 1 I had re
cited all the passages I could recall bearing on
slavery and sin in general. When I got through
the bowie kni. e man said: ‘Let the pious cuss go.’
I started, but was called book, and each of the
men insisted on paying • year’s subscription to
my paper in advance. In addition, they de
clared themselves friendly, and for many
months afterwards I received from them copies
of every secret circular Issued by either of the
political parties then at war.”
