Followers of Sister Phueba Couzius grew
eo boisterously exu-rrant over the speech of
an attorney that they were put out of a Chi
cago court. This shows that the masculine
female is not so admirable a creature as to
be worthy of emulation. Woman is never
bo admirable as when she is satisfied to re
main unobtrusively a woman without coli
gpicious effort te make that fact generally
apparent.
Quite a brisk turn for the better is the re
port now due from Bar Harbor. Two or
three recent dispatches have made Mr
Blaine out distressingly debilitated and
emaciated to little more than a visible
shadow. In order to sustain the publio in
terest in “President Harrison's Secretary of
Btato” it is necessary to fairly and equally
alternate these reports to produce the de
sired effect.
Astronomer Flammarion says that he at
tributes the heavy rainfall in the United
States during the past few weeks to the
coldness of the atmosphere while tho ma
jority of us have been ascribing tho cool
ness of the atmosphere to the rainfall.
That’s the difference between ordinary
Americans and an accomplished French
astronomer. Being opposite we take oppo
site views. That's only natural.
Shocking San Fiancisco is no easy mat
ter. Nothing short of a very sturdy earth
quake will accomplish it. But a quake
came along the other night that startled
the natives no little. It acted as if it in
tended dumping the town into the bay.
Migration from San Francisco will proba

Retux ued Americans frem Chile state
that the reports of Balmaceaa’s domineer
ing cruelty are not at ail overdrawn. In
a recent interview in Chicago Gen. Thomas
O. Osborne said that Balmaceda’s army is
made up of the worst classes of criminals
and cut-throats in Chile, and unless the
dictator manages to maintain his reputa
tion as a demon of tyranny his life would
not last over night. At the very first sign
of faltering his minions would assassinate
him. In that view of the case the man
may have been literally forced to some of
the acts of brutality with which he is
charged. But eveu that is his owu fault. If
he had been a capable aud honest president
he would not have allowed the army to be
made up of such a dosjerate and treacher
ous class of people. Above all things he
should have taken care that the soldiere of
the country were reputable aB well as pa
triotic.
Simply because people were dissatisfied
with the arrangement of anew church, for
which they had paid, and withdrew to
another place of worship of their own selec
tion, for the use of wnich they also paid,
does not seem to have been sufficient provo
cation to warrant that Montreal Catholic
priest in cursing the newly chosen chapel
and anathematizing the congregation, even
if such a course could be justified at all. If
the people preferred to worship in the place
they bad selected they certainly seem to
have had a right todo so unmolested. 'What
ever may te the laws of Canada on that
point, the conduct of that vindictive priest
would have amounted to disturbing public
worship in this country, ad would have
been punishable as disorderly conduct.
Aside from the legal aspects of the affair it
is not for a moment to be supposed that a
b neficent Providence, represented as the
very incarnation of love and kindness,
would interfere to curse people who are
congregated to vrorsh.p him in their own
inoffensive way merely because a priest
feels disposed to invoke such displeasure
in a moment of malignant anger. Such a
Ailing doesn’t sound reasonable to the or
dinary mortal.
The Negro Problem.
In an interesting and carefully considered
article in the Forum for July Gen. 1-rancis
A. Walker reaches the conclusion that the
numerical strength > t the negro in this
country will never b? sufficiently great to
cause uneasiness excep t perhaps in the Gulf
states. The predictions of writers who
have net :aken the trouble to inform them
selves respecting to the increase of the negro
race that in the very near future there
would be-VJ. 000.000 of bla< k. in tni. c.untry
he regards as the purest nonsense.
Gen. Walker compares the number of
blacks in tbe country, according to toe last
census,with the number shown by thecensus
of 1*80; he also gives tbe number in
the country at the taking of each census
since the enumeration of the population of
the country began, an 1 the conclusion at
which be arrives is that the blacks are not
increasing relatively as fu-.t as the whites.
1 i IMO the 1 lacks were '■* per cent, of the
entire population. I:j I'-'.U they were only
11.'.* per cent, of the population. In the
eighty years between the two periods the
whites increased sixteen fold and the blacks
only ten fold. To state the case a little
differently, the blacks in 179(1 w re oue-tifth
of the population, in I s 4o one-.-ixth, in
]S9J less than one-eighth.
It is true tbe blacks have a higher birth
rate, cut their death rate is also very much
higher. la coullrmation of this Gen.
Walker examines in detail the respective
birth and death rate3 in twenty-three
southern counties of equal population,
black and white, based on the tenth census,
and finds that ter 1,000 births of those
born and dying, the rate for whites was
100.1 against 140.8 blacks.
Tbe proportion of death rates between
blacks and whites in the largo citiee was
greater against the blacks. In New Or
leans the death rate for whites was 95.67,
Hacks 50. In St. Louis, whites 18.19,
blacks 33.78; Louisville, whites 20.04, blacks
54.76; Charleston, whites 23.78, blacks 45.
In concluding his article Gen. Walker
says: “It will be seen from the foregoing
data that the colored population of the
United States is at the present time main
taining its relatively slight rate of increase
only by means of a very high birth rate,
just a little in excess of a very high death
rate. This is a very critical situa'ion, since
anything which may occur to reduce the
birth rate will have no tendency whatever
to reduce the death rate. Indeed, in the
case of an untrained and ill-developed race
any cause, whether the diminution of mar
riages or persistence in criminal practices
which diminishes the birth rale,is more t han
likely to accelerate the death rate. Hence wo
may sav that, wherever the industrial
raison d'etre of the oolorod man, distin
guished as an economic agent trom the
white, 6hall diminish in any part of the
country, this is not unlikely to be followed
by a decline iu this element more rapid
than would occur ia the case of another ele
ment of the population which had been
running along on a lower birth rate, but
with also a lower death rate.”
Hut it is evident that the blacks are going
to continue to increase greatly in numbers
in the Gulf states for yoars to come. The
increase will not bo wholly natural. It will
be due largely to Immigration.
EtTocis of. -.ducutton.
About this season every year tbe man
who has devoted hi3 life wholly to grasping
for pecuniar)- gain begins to tell the curious
and inquiring newspaper interviewer what
he knows about "the practical education
of young men for the affairs of life.” Gen
erally he has no education to speak of him
self. Or if ho is a college graduate such a
course was merely a matter of form with
him in which ho simply followed the pre
vailing fashion of t:ie youth of his day be
cause his parents could afford it, and then
promptly proceeded to forget all that was
taught him as soon us he left college. In
the engrossing pursuit of tho indispensable
dollar be did not find that very hard to do.
Htiil he insists upon offering instruction
to the youth of the land and wants them
reared just as ignorant and rough and self
ish aud acquisitive as ho is in order that
they may some day have as much property
us he has acquired. Regarding himself as
In every way admirable he wishes to be re
garded as an exemplar for admiration and
emulation. Education, ho protests, renders
a man effeminate and unfit for the practical
affairs of life.
It is time that this egotistical gentleman
was abolished. Indisputably his theories
are fallacious. Frequently he is a man of
many sterling attributes and entitled to
much credit for having made his own
way against great odds of disadvantages.
But beoause he managed to struggle
through life without an education or be
cause he seemed to have no aptitude for in
tellectual acquirements he should not
underrate their advantages to those
who are mentally capable of utilizing
them, ar.d try to have intellectual attain
ments considered superfluous.
Of course a fair modicum of common
sense is esiential to tho successful pursuit of
any vocation in life. But the statement
that the native capabilities cannot be
greatly developed and fortified by a careful
system of judicious education is palpably
without foundation.
Purposeless education may be and usually
is devoid of good results. Sometimes it
actually proves injurious by diverting the
miud from tho life-pursuit for which the
faculties are best adapted. But no reason
ing person can deny that a youtn is better
qualified for any designated calling bv add
ing to his natural equipment the advantage
of a thorough mental training directed
especially to the object in view.
Bounties on sugar threaten to run high
above the approximate estimates of the
press. In Louisiana alone the bonds filed
by about 65 ) applicants call for s!l,trdd,6U),
to say nothing of Texas, Arkansas and other
states. One boud alone calls for $250,000.
At this rate Mr. McKinley is making us all
pay pretty dearly for sugar whether we
ever get any of it or not. But that is re
publican blundering with legislation.
Small planters who cannot afford to manu
facture their own sugar are not benefited
at all. Republican legislation—especially
where the tariff Is concerned—is based upon
the assumption that the general public
should chip in freely and help the rich to
get richer. Next year we shall take a vote
upon this proposition and see bo w the people
like it.
Manufactures are increasing in the city
in a way that is gratifying to look up.n.
Bring on tho manufactories. They are just
wh at we need. Many small ones are prob
ably bet er than a few large ones. Diversi
fied industries consume supplies of ail kinds
and develop their production, while very
large ones might exhaust the immediate
supply of one sort of material. BtiJ, we
can’t have too many.
THE MORNING NEWS : MONDAY, -TULY fi, 1891.
I Causes of th 9 Farmers' Complaint.
Should the agricultural element decide to
altogether withdraw from both of the
established political parties there is no
question but that those parties would suffer
a surprising loss of strength, and there
would be a general feeling of alarm among
tbe politicians. There is in need to depre
ciate the volume and influence of that vote.
It is simply enormous. Which of the two
parties would be the greater eufferer is
difficult to determine. In some parts of
the country one, and in other parts the
other, party would be tbe more weakened.
In the south the strength of the Democratic
party would be greatly reduced. For, while
there ore many negro alliancemeu, the
negro does not take ki udly to the farmers'
alliance. Possibly some lingering memories
of that mythical •‘forty-acres-and-a-mule"
disappointment may cause him to view
with suspicion the promised ideal pecuniary
arrangements that are located in tho
indefinite future. So he would be likely to
continue voting the straight republican
ticket, which would, by a division of the
democrats, be placed in the majority.
In tbe New England and middle and
western states such a movement would
draw its strength almost entirely from the
republican ranks, because the manufact
uring centers are generally largely demo
cratic except in Pennsylvania and Rhode
Island, where a system of espionage and
covert coercion is practiced.
There is no question but that the farmers
have some reasons for discontent. Under a
epublican administration every industrial
interest has suffered. Rut the farmers’
causes for complaint are not what
are represented to them by the
demagogues who generally set them
selres up as leaders. Nor are the
farmers pursuing the best course to secure
a speedy remedy. Instead of starting out
upon anew crusade headed by men who
have proven themselves failures iu the
established political parties, where they
were relegated to obscurity, and arraying
themselves against their old associates,
they should stick to the established party
organization that has come nearest to
giving them the relief they need,
and redouble their exertions to de
feat tho party that has brought
upon them tbe distress of which
they complain. As an important element
of party strength the farmers could easily
secure careful consideration of any com
plaint or proposition they might choose
to make within the party. If they oaDnot
command sufficient strength to carry their
point there how can they expect to win in
an unorganized fight egainst the party?
True they may carry a few local districts
in which they have virtually no opposition.
Hut in tho general result they must fall far
short of benefiting themselves at all while
they draw from the party just enough
strength to render it powerless to aid them.
Democratic farmers can best secure tbe
desired relief by advocating their ideas
within the Democratic party and then
abiding by the result and going to the polls
with their party. Republican farmers who
feel the burden of oppressive legislation by
tbe party they have so long affiliated with
would pursue the most rational course by
voting with the democrats to turn out of
power the party of extravagauoe and ex
orbitant taxation.
Opinion in Memphis seems to sustain
Mrs. Pillow, who brought about all the
mifortuues of Col. H. Clay King. Aside
from his weakuess for her and the crimo
of which he stands convicted, he appears to
have been an honorable man. But the
evidence so far brought forth tends to indi
cate that she is something of an adventuress,
who has depended for success upon the hon
orable name of her dead husband and the
sense of honor of those whom she plied with
bar baleful influence. Although CoL King
may have committed outright murder,
every indication tends to show that he was
goaded to it. While gallantry to defense
less womankind is one of the most laudable
of manly trait*, it were well to definitely
draw the line at thoso thrifty females who
are disposed to take advantage of such a
generous sentiment to prey upon those who
are weak enough to allow it under a falsa
sense of magnanimity. Such demonstra
tions as that woman is accredited with
making when sho heard the verdict against
the man she had plundered were rather
those of a vindictive than of a
sorrowful and injured woman. Notwith
standing the awful crime that Col. King
committed, he is still apparently more
worthy of sympathy than tbe woman whose
crxfty wiles brought him to bis pitiable
position.
Juries frequently do the most ridiculous
things imaginable. Under what process of
reasoning that New York jury managed to
errive at the conclusion that the Algerian
recently on trial for a capital offense was
guilty of an entirely different degree of
crime is pretty hard to understand. Either
he was guilty or innocent of the crime
charged agaiust him, and it does not seem
to have come within the province of the
jury to surmise that he had committed an
order of crime with which he was not
charged. All of that wonderful array of
electrically astonishing evidence that Boast
ful Byrues was to have produced at the
proper moment wholly failed to materialize
as uaual. Still the chief “copper” of
New \ork insists that the gibbering savage
is the skillful and adroit fiend who
slaughtered so many women in Loudon in
so dextrous a manner.
Hayti is said to be still in a ferment that
threatens a bloody sequel. Hippolyte’s
soldiers have the capital under a petty
“reign of terror.” Much of the blame for
this continued state of affairs is charged to
our own black minister, Fred Douglass,
who hag neglected to report the true state
of affairs, or in any way to interfere, as
he might have done, to stop the pending
atrocities, simply because he is a devout
admirer of the blacx tyraut who is accred
| itei with governing the island in the
capacity of president. Now that the dusky
diplomat is back, be should be kept back,
and let someone go there who is not in
sympathy with riot and needless bloodshed.
Scotland is now beginning a vigorous

During the exile to this country Talleyrand

They are prepared from the choicest and

Used to tho Other Service.
A wedding ceremony occurred some years
ago. says the Washington Post, of a then United
States senator, who, a widower twice orer, had
for the third time succumbed to Cupid's wiles.
At his first and second marriage the c-remony
had been performed by an Episcopal clergyman,
and hence the senator was quite familiar with
the Episcopal marriage form.
But the beautiful woman who had captured
his affections the third time was a devout Pres
byterian, and naturally wished the connubial
knot to be tied by a minister of her own church,
and according to its simple service. To this the
statesman-lover made no objection. The char
acter of the service was of small account to
him, so long as it served to unite him to tho
object of Lis adoration, and the thought that he
might blunder in the course of it never dis
turbed for a moment the serenity of his mind.
But standing beside his bride to be, stage
fright, as it might be called, seized him. Id nis
excitement ho began to marry himself, as it
were, by the Episcopal service, repeating
glibly: *‘l , take thee—to be my wedded
wife,” and he would probably have gone on to
the end if the astonished Presbyterian minister,
who immediately appreciated the situation, had
not interposed, and, interrupting the bride
groom, performed the ceremony with the brev
ity of the Presbyterian form.
At the point where the perturbed groom
seemed bent on doing the business for himself,
a distinguished brother senator present drew
near to a lady, aoother guest, a close friend of
his own and of the bridal pair, and whispered
in a pitying tone:
“Poor . He’s used to being married by
the other service !’*
Expensive Drosses Whiob Cost Noth
ing.
They were lunching at the Richelieu, says the
Chicago Post, and talked louder than they in
tended. One was exquisitely begowned and the
other was congratulating her on her appear
ance.
“But it must have been very expensive, that
gown.’* she said.
“Didn't cost me a cent,” said the other with a
smile.
‘Why, what do you mean?” queried the
other.
“Why. I took it on approval. Don't you un
derstand?”
“I do not.”
••Why, I went to Field’s and picked it out,
and they seut it homo for approval.”
“It satisfies you?”
“Perfectly.”
•‘Then it will cost you something.”
“Not a cent. It came yesterday. lam going
to make some calls to-morrow. 1 shall wear it
and to morrow send it hack.”
The other didn't reply. And the beautifully
begownod one c -ntinued—
“it is a perfect dream of a scheme. When
ever one wants to be a little swell, one can do
as I have done and without cost. To be sure
one musn't go too often, and once in a w tile < n j
must buy a gown. But doing a.s I, yes, anu as
many others do, for the price of one gown, oue
can have the use of several. Only one must be
careful not to commit tho error a friend of
mine did.”
“What was that?”
“Why she took a gown and kept it several
days. Of course, go wns sent on approval are
not expected to be worn. But the clerk who re
ceived it and found in a pocket the lady's card
case and pinnod inside the waift a letter re
ceived from a gentleman friend, must have had
his suspicion aroused that tho gown at least had
been worn. 1 don't know what word was seat
back with the case and letter, but I do know
that she doesn't give Field the benefit of her
custom any more.”
Whereat both laughed heartily and, calling
the waiter, ordered two pieces of pie.
"Roc* of A?es. %
Maud Moore,
“Hock of Ages, cleft for me,”
Thoughtlessly the Maiden sung;
Fell the words unconsciously
From her girlish, gleeful tongue;
Sang as little children sing;
Hang as sing the birds in June ;
Fell the words like light leaves down
On tne current of the tune—
“ Rock of Ages cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee."
“Let me hide myself in Thee."
Felt her soul no need to hide—
Hweet the song as song could be.
And she had no thought beside;
All the words unheedingly
Fell from lips unteucued by care,
Dreaming not that they might be
On some other lips a prayer—
“ Rock of Ages, cleft for rae,
Let me hide mysslf in Thee."
“Rock of Apes, cleft for me,"
'Twas a woman sung them now,
Pleadingly and pray* rfully.
Every word her heart did know—
Rose thii song as storm tossed bird
Boats with weary wings the air,
Every note wrh sorrow stirred.
Every syllable a prayer--
“Rook of Ages, cleft for me.
Let me hide myself in Thee."
“Rock of Ages, cleft for me."
Lips grown age i gang the hymn,
Trustingly and tenderly,
Voice grown weak and eyes grown dim—
“ Let me hide myself in Thee."
Trembling though the voice and low,
Ran the sweet strain peacefully,
Like a river in its flow;
Sung a* only they can sing
ho life’s thorny path have preat;
Sung as only they can sing
Who behold the promised rest—
“ Rock of Ages, cleft for m?,
Let me hide mvself In Thee."
“Rock of Ages, cleft for me"—.
Sung above a coffin lid—-
Underneath, all restfully,
All life's joys and Borrews hid;
Nevermore, O storm-tossed soul!
Nevermore from wind or tide,
Nevermore froui billows' roll
Wilt thou need thyself to hide.
Could the sightless, sunken eyes.
Closed beneath the soft gray hair;
Could the mute and stiffened lips
Move again in pleading prayer.
Still, aye still, the words would be—
“ Let me hide myself in Thee.''

On Jan. 15 last two laborers were at work on
a railroad running into Indianapolis from Alton.
One was telling a story, anti, while bending
over, he was accidentally struck on the head
with a hammer by his companion and his skull
was fractured. He was rendered unconscious
and remained in a comatose condition until last
Friday night, when Dr. G. D. Sturtevant of
Indianapolis trepanned the skull, and immedi
ately upon removing the pieces of skull from
against the brain the man continued the story
which was started five months before and had
lain latent in his brain during all this time.
I walk along the stream, says a Mexican let
ter in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, and amuse
myself by taking note of the bathers. They see
nothing wrong in their actions, and I note that
there is nothing really immodest, bold or inde
cent about them. They think nothing wrong
in families and friends bathing together, and,
after ail, I have again forced upon me the feel
ing that modesty and immodesty are matters of
custom and fashion, and am reminded of a lit tie
maiden in Egypt who, upon seeing me ap
proach, covered her face with her skirt that she
might modestly hide it from the eyes of a man.
The Japanese are in many ways more modest
than we are. They are in most things more
polite and refined. Still, until lately, the sexes
bathed there together, in the very capital itself,
and virtue was not injured nor did prudery raise
her voice until the western world taught her to
do so. It is simply a matter of opinion, and
the old French saw* fits the case well, “Ilonisoit
qui mal y pense.”
There is no limit to the fancies which public
men cultivate, but one of t he prettiest is that of
ex Senator Palmer of Michigan. It is not a
horse or a dog or a game rooster, but a little
boy, a genuine Castilian, whom tlie ex-senator
ran across while traveling in Spain, says the
Washington correspondent of the Chicago
Herald, The child's father was an officer with
more children and less money than he felt the
need of. Senator Palmer's circumstances were
quite the opposite, and the logical result of the
‘iituation ensued. The little fellow was not old
enough to speak his own language plainly, and
tho short time he has been in this country has
not been sufficient to do away with the
charming Spanish accent in his efforts
to speak tho English language. He
takes some of the commonest words
and pronounces them with a erracs that is
peculiarly Castilian. Not onlv does he add the
charms of babyhood to the quamtness of a for
eigner, but he is a thoroughbred A horseman
would grow most enthusiastic over an animal
that showed the “points" that this little pro
tege of good fortune shows. His hair is wavy
and beautiful; h:s eyes are big, dark and ex
pressive. as only a Castilian's can be; his feat
ures are most delicately molded, and as to form
he is an Apollo in miniature. In fact, so neau
tifully perfect is his figure that tiis pareuts by
adoption had a cast taken of his <vhole body in
(Tuvr to have his graceful snapo preserved in
marble. Already he is the despot of the house

house in Michigan No quiet could possibly

present, even at late dinners He occupies the
seat of honor by his proud foster father, who
lends devoted attention to every Spanish lisp.
Passengers going up the San Juan river to

chops and dreaming of a dainty meal of deli

A calf had strayed unnoticed from the herd
toward the water. An ugly black nose ap
peared above the water, followed by a wicked
twinkling eye and a long scaly body. A cau
tious crawl up tie low bank, aud the ugly
saurian ran w th astonishing rapidity for its
prey. A shout and an iil directed shot alarmed
t h** calf. There was a big bawl, answered by tho
wh >le herd, the calf running frantically from
the herd toward the water fiend. Then both
side? paused, the alligator sinking closer toward
the ground, the cows standing with tne rears
erect, their big brown eyes filled with astonish
ment and tear. Another instant the cows and
calves moved slowly off to one side, ever keen

alone remained. The young guardian of the
herd slowly advanced to the attack, his magnifi

tail twitching nervously and his head tossing

of both, a lightning-like turn of the head, and
the other horn of the bull impaled his enemy.
A great shudder ran over the body or the alli
gator, and the blood gushed forth as he roared
in his rage and pain. For an instant both
beasts rested as they were, theu the saurian,
with a last, desperate effort, whirled himself on
the Impaling horn, striking the bull on the side
with terrific force, the crash of the blow echo

Oue final effort to move bis head, one
