Cherokees still insist that the bustling

Many failures ars reported resultant upon

From the dispatches it appears that Kan

Searchers after President Marsh of the

As he has all along been merely a pliant in

probably now decided to look out for him
self.
Republican newspapers are taking a great

Portugal is now getting down to a strug

As Others See Them.
Some of the alliance leaders in the south
say that they are doing, and intend to oon
| tinue to do, all they can to prevent the
j alliance from supporting the People’s party.
; At the same time they are pursuing a
| course that is calculated to influence the
alliance to leave the Democratic party and
join the People’s party. They may be sin
cere in what they say, but they have a
queer way of showing their sincerity. To
an observer it seems as if nothing would
gratify them more than to be able to carry
the alliance into the camp of tho People’s
party, and that they are restrained from
attempting to do so by the fear that they
would fail in the attempt.
It would be interesting to know what
they are doing to make the alliance satis
fied with the Democratic party. Are they
pointing out what the Democratic party
has done for the south, and what would be
the consequences to the south if that party
should be destrojed? Are they showing
that the Democratic party is the party of
the people and that it aims to do what is
best for all classes? They are doing nothing
of the kind. But they are asserting that
there is no longer any danger of black rule
in the south and that if the Democratic
party doesn’t accede to the demands of the
Ocala platform—that is, it it doesn’t indorse
the sub-treasury plan—it will be about im
possible to prevent the alliance from be
coming an ally of the People’s party.
Does not all this look as if some of the al
lianoe leaders had a very strong desire to
lead the alliance to the support of the Peo
ple’s party? When Col. Polk was in At
lanta the other day did he have a word to
say in behalf of the Democratic party ? and
did he not say a great deal in praise of the
People's party? Can it be said that the pur
pose of this talk was to prevent allianeemen
from severing their connection with the
Democratic party.
It looks very much as if those alliance
leaders who are pretending to love the
Democratic party so well, but who are con
stantly commending the People’s party, are
ambitious. They do not see any prospect of
becoming the chosen leaders of the Demo
cratic party, but they think they
would be In the front rank of
the leaders of the People’s party,
provided they could carry the alliance
to that party. They are posing as demo
crats while approving the People’s party,and
this, probably, they will continue to do un
til it is definitely determined whether or
not the alliance can be induced to join its
fortunes to those of the People’s party. If
it cannot they will stay with the Demo
cratic party, and if it can they will be fouDd
in the People’s party claiming whatever
honors it has to confer on the ground that
they brought to it its greatest element of
strength.
It can be pretty safely stated for their
benefit, however, that the alliance cannot be
carried to the People's party. A part of it
may be, because in every organization there
are men who are ready to become partici
pants in anything that is new or novel, and
who hope to better their condition by a
change, but the allianeemen who do little
talking and a great deal of thinking are not
going to leave tlie Democratic party, and
they do not approve the sub-treasury
plan. They know that that plan is imprac
ticable, and that if it should be adopted it
would bring distress to the farmers, instead
of prosperity. They know also that without
that plan there would be nothing in the
platform of the People’s party that would
arrest atteution.
These alliance lenders, therefore, who are
pretending to do their utmost to keep the
the alliance from going to the People’s
party should change their tactics if they
want to be regarded as sincere. They are
now in danger of appearing to be trying to
lead the alliance into that party.
Hustling the guests of a banquet off in
police vans is anew way of bringing an en
tertainment to a close with a “practical
joke” peculiar to the Chicago and Philadel
phia roystering clubs. That’s the way the
Whitechapel Club of Chicago wound up a
spree with the Clover Club of Philadelphia
as their guests. Rudeness of the most pro
nounoed character seems to be the test of
merit and joviality in these organizations.
Transgression of all the established usages
of polite society are so essential to fellow
ship in those organizations, and their noto
riety is so exclusively based upon that sort of
conduct that it is not altogether pleasant
to know that their membership is made up
largely of journalists.
To Bay the least, the New Jersey judge
who Is prosecuting a Long Branch editor
for contempt of court exhibited exceedingly
bad taste in trying the case himself when
the alleged contempt consisted only in pub
lishing charges impeaching the personal in
tegrity of the judge. If the charges were not
true, then it was libel. There lay the offended
judge’s legitimate remedy. Prosecuting the
editor for contempt in a court over which
he presides is tantamount to an acknowledg
ment that the charges are true. It’s rather
a queer procedure.
Zanzibar dispatches report the adventur
ous Mrs. French-Sbeldon so ill that she
flDds necessary an immediate return to
England and possibly the abandonment of
her contemplated explorations in Africa.
Although Mrs. Sheldon is an American and
has plenty of Amerioau perseverance, she
probably finds that exploring Africa is
altogether different from climbing rugged
hills and scaling woodland crags at home.
It is very lucky for her that she found this
out in due time.
Northwestern railway development is
reaching out for the great grain fields.
Some of that sort of development down this
way would open up a great deal of land to
closer cultivation in both grain and cotton.
There is a great deal of comparatively un
tilled Georgia land that might be profitably
put under.cultivation in grain if it was at
all accessible to market.
Only a few days ago a flying passenger
train on a Louisiana rail way was so badly
wrecked by collision with a banana train
that au ambulanoe corps had to be called,
and several funerals will result from it.
So wo have another solemn warning that
the banana is dangerous whether you strike
it moving or passively lying upside down
on the sidewalk.
Whether we have a fair representation
abroad depends rather largely upon the
representatives chosen. But the treasury
department seems to be trying to get
together men who can secure European ex
hibits of the highest class for the Colum
bian exposition. Stil 1 it’s no easy task.
It is to be hoped that the rival pair of kings
who are just now engaged in an argument
about who it the rightful sovereign of Sa-
Imoa will not wind up the debate with a
rattling fistic boat in the Oklahoma style.
THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, JUNE 23, 1891.
I Fortunes for Importers and Lawyers.
| The decision rendered in the oelebratea hat
trimming case last week in Philadelphia
by a United States court will pnt fortunes
in the pockets of the few lawyers and im
porters interested in it. The amount in
volved is between $20,000,000 and $25,000,-
000, and there is not much doubt that the
United States supreme court will affirm the
decision. Within a comparatively short
time,probably,the government will be called
upon to pay out of its already exhausted
treasury the whole of this vast sum.
And whatever the law may be there is no
justice in this transfer of the money of the
people to a lot of importers and lawyers, for
the reason that the importers have lost no
part of the money which they claim. Under
the tariff act of 188.3 certain kinds of silk
goods used in trimming hats were imported.
The government clashed them as “manu-
factures of 6ilk” and collected the duty for
that class of goods, which was 50 per chnt.
of their appraised value. The importers
protested against the classification, insisting
that they were “trimmings for hats* and
should pay a duty of only 20 per cent. A
suit was brought to test the question
whether the importers or the customs au
thorities were right. The court has decided
that the importers are right, and that the
excess of duty must be paid back.
But the importers lost nothing while they
were paying the 50 per cent. duty. They
charged a good profit for their “hat trim
mings goods,” besides adding to the goods
the JTuil amount of the duty that was paid.
The people who bought the goods paid the
unauthorized duty, but they will not get
back their money. It would be impossible
to find out to whom it is due. The import
ers, therefore, will distribute the vast sum
among themselves and their lawyers.
Maj. McKinley, the author of the present
tariff bill, seldom misses an opportunity to
tell the people that they do not pay the
tariff tax—that it is paid by those who ex
port goods. He must know when he is
making this statement that he is not telling
the truth and the whole truth. And that
be is not telling the truth is pretty clearly
shown by this Philadelphia “hat trimmings”
case. The people are out of pocket on “hat
trimmings” between $20,000,000 and
$25,000,000, and none of those who bought
“hat trimmings’’ under the tariff act of
1883 will ever be able to get their money
back. The importers, however, will have
two profits, the one coming from the gov
ernment being much the larger.
Ought not the government to hold on to
the vast sum which has been awarded the
claimants and do what it can toward find
ing out who are really entitled to the
money? It is quite evident that the import
ers have no right to any part of it.
This case illustrates some of the beauties
of the high tariff system—a system that
enables a few men to pile up enormous fort
unes and keeps the masses steadily working
for just enough to buy bread.
Still Fighting Phillips Brooks.
The bishops of the Protestant Episoopal
church are now voting on the question
whether or not Dr. Brooks, recently elected
bishop of Massachusetts, shall be admitted
to their order. The high churohmen and
the high church press are doing their utmost
to defeat him. The presiding bishop is Bishop
Williams of Connecticut, and he declines
to make publio the votes as they are re
ceived. The public, therefore, is iu ig
norance as to how the vote is going. From
the tone of the high church press it would
seem as if the high churchmen are hopeful
of his defeat.
His defeat would be very generally re
gretted outside of the Protestant Episcopal
ohurch and also by a majority of the clergy
men aDd laymen of that church. That he
is the ablest and most influential Protestant
Episcopal clergyman in this country there
is no doubt. But because he differs with
some of his brethren on the question of
apostolic succession, those who oppose his
views on that question would like to drive
him out of the Protestant Episcopal ohurch.
His defeat would do the church incalcula
ble damage, because it would turn away
from it the sympathy of thousands of peo
ple who are looking to it to lead a move
ment toward a closer union of Protestant
churches. If the views of high churchmen
provail the Protestant Episcopal church
will be drawn from, rather than toward,
other denominations.
Dr. Brooks cares little for rites and ritu
als and is not such a stickler for oreeds as
to regard them as matters of the first con
sideration. His chief aim is to bring people
into the church, and In this he has been
eminently successful. And if he should be
confirmed as bishop he would not
devote the greater part of his time
to battling against the tendencies of
the high church faction. He would move
along the path in which he haß alwiys
moved, striving to strengthen the church
by opening its doors wide enough to admit
all who earnestly seek to live true Christian
lives.
The standing committees have voted to
confirm Dr. Brooks, and the bishops will
make a great mistake if they place them
selves in opposition to the committees.
Now that the Bering sea question it sup
posed to be settled with England, the Steve
Elkins combination wants the government
to settle a little bill of $615,000 claimed as
damages for not allowing that enterprising
concern to slaughter seals to the full extent
that a contraot made with the United States
is said to call for. Furthermore the gentle
men promise to file an additional olaim
aggregating $3,000,000 for advantages that
they olaim to have been entitled to but
didn’t get. If there is anything else that
Mr. Elkins wants he will probably ask for
it without trepidation.
Now that the Bering sea dispute has been
virtually settled, but one more important
feature of the business remains to be ad
justed. That is the appointment of a thor
oughly reliable and impartial referee con
stantly to contemplate the scene, and in oase
any violation of the law is to be allowed to
say who shall have first grab. Possibly the
Hon. Hteve Elkins might be persuaded to
accept this eminent job.
Obstacles do not appear to greatly dis
courage Dr. Koch of lymph renown.
Although his medical brethren have pretty
generally consigned the lymph to irretrieva
ble failure, the inventor and introducer con
tinues to struggle with it in the expectation
of ultimate success. If persistence entitles
one to reword he should eventually make it
a sure cure.
Some bright genius proposes starting “a

Dan Morris of Poplar Bluff, now deceased,
was known throughout the country as a splendid
sportsman, hunter and fisherman, says the St.
Louis Republic. Ha was the proprietor of a
hotel and became so popular that he was elected
to the legislature from Butler county in 1881.
He took great delight in relating how he onco
saved General John A. Hockaday from a watery
grave. The general was a candidate for the
democratic nomination as governor in 1880
against Crittenden and Marmaduke. and in the
course of his campaign he reached Poplar Bluff
and stopped with Dan Morris. After bis poli
tical business had been attended to he confided
to Dan that he would like to catch
a few hundred pounds of bass out of
Black river while waiting for the train.
Hiring a small boat Dau and the general
went out on the river, the boat being paddled
by Dan in his usually reckless manner. Theex-
Attorney General becoming uneasy over the
situation, explained to Dan that he couldn't
swim a lick and begged that he be more careful.
He even went so far as to h.nt rather broadly
that Dan didn't know how to manage the boat.
This nettled Dan. who, upon reaching a shal
low place, deliberately upset the skiff. Gen.
Hockaday yelled for help as soon as he struck
the water, and Dan, standing on the bottom,
waist deep, grasped the candidate for governor
ip his arms and swore a great oath that he
would save him or perish in the attempt. The
general clung to bis preserver with desperation,
and in order to keep up the deception Dan was
compelled to squat down and occasionally push
his victim's head under the water as he walked
toward the shore. Reaching the bank Gen.
Hockaday shook the water from his clothes and
said:
“Col. Morris, you have saved my life. Ask
what you will, and I’ll try to get it for you.”
"Thank you, General," said Dan with a great
show of modesty, “I have only done my duty,
and that without hope of reward. But if you
insist upon it. I would like to be either Adjutant
General of Missouri or Coal Oil Inspector of
Bt. Louis. I fancy that either would be in my
line ”
"Say no more, Dan. When lam Governor of
Missouri come and see me.”
But the General didn't get the nomination.
Dan Morris went to the I-egisiature, though,
and afterwards passed to his eternal reward.
Gen. Hockaday is now Judge of the Second
Judicial Circuit, composed of Boone, Callaway,
Howard and Randolph counties. But he still
holds Dan Morris in grateful remembrance.
A Drunken Man’s Mistake.
Miss May Yates is a young lady about 20
years old, and is employed as a saleswoman in
an uptown dry goods bouse, says the Omaha
World-Herald. She and her brother board at
the Occidental hotel. Miss Yates, as a rule,
occupies her room alone. She was the only oc
cupant when she went to sleep -Monday night
Yesterday morning, however, she was very
much amaz-d and was badly frightened when
she awoke and found that she was not the only
person who was in her bed. The other person
had her head covered. At first Miss Yatas
could not believe her senses, but after her
fright had passed she very carefully turned
back the cover.
“It's a man." she screamed, and then she
fainted. Her brother, who occupies the next
room, neard his sister scream, and ho was
quickly on the scene.
The man was sleeping very soundly in a
drunken stupor, and it was with difficulty that
he was awakened. When he did wake up he
was very much surprised at the surroundiugß.
The brother yanked him out of bed and turned
him over to Officer Bloom, who sent him to the
police station.
A few minutes later the brother and sister
went to the station to appear against the man.
He was brought out from behind the bars and
the brother had an interview with him The
man said he arrived from Chicago Monday, and
immediately after his arrival he registered at
the Occidental. A 'ter supper he went out and
met an old friend, who took him around town
and showed him the sights. About midnight he
turned up at the hotel in a very bad state of in
toxication. He said he remembered going to
the desk and getting his key. then be re
membered trying to unlock his do >r. Finally
he succeeded, and after pulling off his clothes
he jumped into bed. He did not know how he
got into Miss Yates’ bed, and did not know he
was there until he woke up and was handed to
an officer.
Investigation showed that the keys to his
room and that of Miss Yates were exactly the
same, and that he had got into Miss Yates'
room and bed by mistake. As no particular
harm was done Miss Yates refused to prosecute
him aud accepted his apology.

"I’m just going down to pay my taxes and it
grieves me to the heart." said Jeremiah S.
Coughlin to me yesterday, says a Minneapolis
Tribune man. It struck me that when a man
is president of a bank the money to pay taxes
ought to be like the water that spills when a
bucket is over full—not missed at all—and he is
president of the Irißh-American Bank of Minne
apolis. Now, when 1 say “Jerry” Coughlin
everybody knows the man I mean—the big
hearted, genial conductor who has grown old
in the service of the Chicago, Milwaukee and
Bt. Paul.
■‘Why don’t you give up your run, Jerry?” I
asked.
"Give up running my train: I would be dead
in a month. I care more about that train than
anything else in the world Asa passenger
conduotor I have been on that road for twenty
eight years. I was on the old Hastings and Da
kota and Prairie du Chien divisions for five
years; that's the way I came to be here, and for
twenty-three years I’ve been on the river divis
ion. I’ve always saved money. When I only
earned $35 a month I saved $lO, and it gets to
be a big pile some day. When I see these old
gray-haired men sawing wood for a little money
it hurts my feelings. If they had only laid away
$5 a month right along when young they would
be comfortable now.”
Jerry Coughlin is a rich man to-day. His in
come from his wholesale stationery businessout
in Spokane f alls last year was $14,400, and, as
be says, he laid it all away. But there isn't an
other man in the world conductor of a passen
ger train at night and president of a bank in
the daytime.
At Last He Was In It.
From the Detroit Free Press.
They built a fine ohurch at his very door—
He wasn't in it.
They brought him a scheme for relieving the
poor—
He wasn’t in it.
Let them work for themselves, as he had done;
They wouldn’t ask help of any one
If they hadn't wasted each golden minute—
He wasn’t in It.
So he passed the poor with haughty tread—
He wasn’t in it;
And he scorned the good with averted head—
He wasn’t in it.
When men in the halls of virtue met
He saw their goodness without regret;
Too high the mark for him to win it—
He wasn’t in it.
# A carriage crept down the street one day—
He was in it.
The funeral trappings made a display;
He was in it.
St. Peter received him with a book and bell;
“My friend, you have purchased a ticket to
wel!,
Your elevator goes down in a minute.”
He was in it.
Honors Thrust Upon Him,
Congressman McKeighan enjoys a good story,
says the Omaha World-Herald, even though it
is at his own expense, and he tells this one with
a relish:
Mr. Keigban has been a candidate for con
gress before. Early in the campaign of 1880, at
an interior town, the “hero of tfie sod house’’
mdt an old colored woman who knew him years
ago. The old woman greeted the judge oordially
almost affectionately, and exclaimed:
"Well, honey, I’se right glad to see yuze;
’deed I is. And you’se still holdin’ office and
having Mg honor frust 'pon you’se?’’
"Honors thrust upon me: Holding office'”
repeated Judge McKeighan. "Why, aunty,
what office am I holding now?”
"Canjldate foh congress, sah: canjldate for
congress,” replied the old woman; and Mc-
Keighan went out and laughed one of his sides
loose.

The lowest body op water on the globe is
the Caspian sea. Its level has been gradually
lowering for centuries, and now It is eightv-flve
feet below the level of its neighbor, the Black
sea.
“The chatelaine which Mrs. Kendal wore in
the first act of “The Squire” recently was of
pathetic interest. On it are five merry sound
log little silver bells, each one engraved with
the name of one of her children.
A grain of pure musk will scent a room for
twenty years, and at the end of that time will
not show that it has diminished in the least. A
grain of carmine or half a grain of aniline will
tinge a hogshead of water so that a strong
microscope will detect coloring matter in every
drop.
It is a mistakf. to suppose the weather is
colder tho farther north one goes. The north
ern pole of greatest cold is only about 300 miles
northeast of Yakutsk, Siberia, where the mean
annual temperature is a little lower than in the
highest latitudes reached by Nares and Greely,
1,000 miles farther north.
A most useful electrical street sign has come
lutouse. A light brass framework is fitted
with opaque glass bearing the signs desired, the
name of a firm, a railway station, a theater, as
the case may be. These tablets are visible by
day as well as by night, and as the obstruction
to light is inappreciable, they are becoming as
popular as they are effective.
A novel case was tried at Keyser, W. Ya„
last week. D. J. Moran deprived his daughter
Maggie of her jewelry and fine clothing, owing
to an alleged report that she was about to elope
with a drummer. The daughter being 21 years
of age sued her parents for $l6O. The verdict
was given in favor of the plaintiff for $l6O, or
the return of the jewelry and clothing.

It is said there are only two words in the
English language which contain all the vowels
in their order. They are “abstemious" and
"facetious.” The following have them in
irregular order: Authoritative, disadvantageous,
encouraging, efficacious, instantaneous, im
portuna7e, mendacious, nefarious, precarious,
pertinacious, sacrilegious, precarious, tena
cious, unintentional, unequivocal and vexatious.
In the first volume of the “Wars of Freder
ick the Great,” just published in Germany,
there is the following will, written by Frederick
during the first Silesian war in 1741: “I am only
king so long as 1 am tree. If they kill me I
wish my body to be burnt in Roman fashion and
my ashes to be inclosed in an urn at Rheins
berg. In this case Knobelsdors (his architect)
shall construct a monument for me like that of
Horace at Tusculum.”
A couple living about five miles east of St.
Joseph, Mo., took their infantto town the other
day to be shaved. It was born with a growth of
hair on its face which grew so rapidly that at
the age of 3 months it was eighteen inches in
length. This so distressed the mother that it
was decided to have the objectionable coat of
hirsute removed, which was skilfully done by a
tonsorial artist at St. Joseph. The baby stood
the ordeal surprisingly well.
A sinole bi-ast at the government rock
quarry at Apple Creek, 111., In addition to turn
ing up several barge loads of stone, killed 300
pounds of catfish confined in a water box locat
ed 100 yards from the explosion, besides
dotting the bosom of the river with dead fish
killed instantly by the tremendous concussion
of the explosion. Another singular fact is that
not a fish of any description has since been
caught in the neighborhood, which heretofore
has abounded with the finny tribe.
The most munificent restorer of Windsor
Castle was George IV., whose architect was to
him what William of Wykeham had been to
Edward IIL; yet George the Magnificent rarely
lived in the castle itself, his favorite residence
and the place where he died being an uninter
esting but most costly example of rusticity,
called The Cottage. It is since the accession of
her majesty that Windsor has resumed even
more than its pristine state and magnificence,
and within little more than a generation.
A Navajo pupil at Teller Institute in Colorado
was found to have one of hie feet endowed with
a surplus toe, and the superintendent ordered a
pair of shoes for him from a local shop at a
cost of $3. Secretary Noble disnuted the bill.
Then the superintendent wrote to the secre
tary-: “Indian boy here with six toes. Can’t
possibly wear government shoe. What shall I
do?” The secretary answered: “Off with bis
toe." Next the superintendent answered:
“Which toe?" and the secretary answered:
‘ ‘Sixth toe, of course.” If the secretary thought
that that ended it he was wrong. Again the
superintendent addressed him, saying: “Toe
off. What shall Ido with it?” To which the
secretary made final answer: “Ship it to
Topeka for interment in government grave
yard."
Additional particulars of the catastrophe
which occurred on Sunday last near the mining
city of Catorce, in the state of San Luis Potosi,
Mexico, are to the effect that a cloudburst
on Conception Mountain and a great stream
poured down the mountain side, sweeping
everything in its course. The habitations oc
cupied by the miners were swept away, and the
tunnel of Gaudaloupe mine filled with water,
drowning ssveral miners who were working in
side. A number of peopl“ llvlDg in cliff dwell
ings were buried alive. At Le Crucea and El
Potrero, on one side of the mountain, and Los
Catorce on tue other, fifteen dead bodies have
been recovered The mining company's losses
are heavy. Large quantities of high-grade
metal were carried away by the flood at the
Conception property. Hundreds of pack ani
mals were drowned and roads were destroyed.
It is generally believed In America that
Benedict Arnold died miserably in disgrace,and
that his descendants never held their heads up
before their fellowmen. Now let us get at the
facts. Recent oyclopedias and writers, and
notably a writer in the Philadelphia Press,
throw anew light upon the Arnolds. After
Benedict Arnold’s death in England his widow
never rested until she paid the last cent of his
debts, contracted in unfortunate speculations.
That was the only cloud on his name in Europe.
Otherwise he stood well and enjoyed the favor
of brave and distinguished men. The young
Arnolds went to the front. For fifty years they
fought like heroes for the British flag. At
Suriam, James Robert Arnold led the assault,
captured the fort, was presented with a SSOO
sword, made aid-de-camp to King William,
and died a lieutenant-general in 1864.
His nephew. William, an English captain,
was killed by the Russians in a desperate fight in
the Crimea. Of Benedict Arnold’s other sons,
Edward died a paymaster in the English army
in India, where he was noted for his good and
charitable deeds. Georgedled lieutenant-colonel
of the Second Bengal cavalry. William, the
fatbor of the captain killed in the Crimea,
was a country gentleman in Buckinghamshire.
One of bis Rons was the Kev. Edward Arnold,
who married Lady Charlotte Cholmondely.
Altogether, there have been few families braver,
more successful and more popular. Fortune
has favored them from the time of Arnold's
treason, and while millions of Americans have
believed them to be suffering disgrace and pov
erty, they have been exceptionally favored. AII
of which goes to show that muoh of the stuff
called history and tradition }s worthless. His
tory is very often mere fiction.
