That great inland lake that recently

Friends of Senator Walthall indicate that
he doesn’t wish to represent Mississippi in
the United Slates Senate again unless he is
coaxed a good deal and the office is literally
thrust upon him. Doubtless there are
plenty of patriots in Mississippi who are
much more willing, if not positively anxious,
to serve their state. Such an office will not
go begging.
Recently a Connecticut domestic entered
complaint against her former mistress
charging the spinster with setting a pack ot
dogs upon her because the girl had left tbe
spinster's employ and then compelled her to

quently refused to pay. That’s almost as
bad as the philanthropic puritans used to
say that the planters in this part of the
country treated their slaves. But this poor
lacerated young servant did not belong to
die woman, and had committed no offense
ixcept to ask for what was due her. What
lenders her treatment still more brutal is
hat It lays her liable to hydrophobia.
Judge Crlep'B Plea for Democracy
Tbe speech which Congressman Crisp
made at the Tammany celebration in New
York, July 4, was an excellent one, and is
being commented upon very favorably. In
speaking of the democracy he said:
“The Democratic party is the party of
the people. If we are united and earnest
and tirdess in our efforts at the next elec
tion we will triumph all along the line, and
for the first time in thirty yearn will be in a
condition to make laws for the people. We
oan elect a President, a Senate and a House
'of Representatives. Then our responsibil
ity will begin; then we can do much for the
i relief of the people; then weean,amply ear
ing for the interests of labor, greatly dimin
ish taxation, reluce piblic expenditure, re
store our evromerce, foster our ag
riculture, encourage our manufactures
and thus bring to the masses of the
American people prosperity to which they
have long I*oen stra 'g-ors, an i tha. peaoe and
contentment which prosperity alone can
bring
! This IS a charming picture of what would
follow democratic success in 1892, and it is
! a true picture. Place the government in
: the control of the Democratic party and
| the material condition of the people would
I at once liegin to improve, because that
party would legislate for the masses rather
than for the wealthy class and the monopo
lists an J trusts.
But, strange u 9 it may Bee n, just as the
Democratic party has a fair prospect of
getting control of the government certain
men who claim to be democrats are trying
to weaken that party in order to build up
the People’s party. They pretend that they
do not favor the People’s party, but they
miss no opportunity to speak in eom
plimentry terms of its principles.
If tbe truth wore known it would doubt
le s appear that they don't care very much
for the principles of either the Democratic
or the People's party. Their purpose is to
advance tbair own political fortunes, and,
as they are in the rear ranks in the Demo
cratic party and see no immediate prospect
of getting into the front rank, they are
secretly making their way to the People’s
party and are trying to carry a large con
tingent of the Democratic party with them.
The more they can influence to join the
People’s party the greater, they think,
their importance in that party will be.
But it is probable that they will hesitate
to cast their fortunes with the People’s
party unless they can Induce a very large
number of democrats to do the same thing,
because they would bo no better off in a
party that had no chance for success than
they are in the Democratic party.
Democrats should study carefully the
course which these alleged democrats and
would-be leaders in the People’s party are
pursuing. They would Dot belong in arriv.
iug at the conclusion that suoh mn
are not safe leaders to follow. If
they are wise they will stick to
the Democratic party —a party which
keeps its promises, and which, it it gets into
power in 1892, will so shape legislation and
administer the government that, as Judge
Crisp says, there will be prosperity and
contentment throughout the land.
Direct Trade With Europe.
A few months ago a good many men in
this state, among whom were prominent al
lianoomen, were deeply interested in estab
lishing direct trade with Europe from some
one of the South Atlantic ports. Savannah
and Brunswick were the ports which re
ceived the most attention, and a good deal
of enthusiasm was shown with regard to
the matter at a conference called at Atlanta
to consider the subject. Since that con
vention nothing has been done to advance
the direct trade project.
But would not the present be a favorable
time to revive it? The last congress appro
priated quite a large sum to be used in aid
ing tho establishment of steamship linos be
tween ports of this country and foreign
ports. According to our dispatches yester
day, the government has determined to
consider only lines from Pacific ports, from
Atlantic ports as far soulh as Norfolk, and
three gulf porta, namely: Tampa, New
Orleans and Galveston. The question of
including Havanuah and Charleston was
considered, but neither, it seems, gave suoh
a guarantee as Is required.
But if the alliance is as much in earnest
in this matter as it was some months ago,
oould it not assist in giving such a
guarantee for Savannah as would cause her
to be included in the list ? Tho guarantee,
as we understand It, Is that a steamship
line to a foreign port must be established
within a certain time.
Savannah now has freights all the year
around for Europe. When the cotton sea
son is over there are photphate and naval
stores for shipment. Indeed, it looks as if
there would be phosphate for shipment all
the year round, and plenty of it.
That Savannah has a chance of being in
cluded in the list of ports that might be
benefited by the postal subsidy there is no
doubt. As stated in our dispatch, the only
thing that caused her to bo left out was her
failure to give such a guarantee as the gov
ernment requires. Would it not be wise
fer those who have been foremost in pro
moting the direct trade project to give this
postal subsidy matter immediate and care
ful consideration?
Authentic advices from Chicago tell of a
restless young man who has lately
been living amou£ the Indians, and
In the night ehortly after his
return thoughtlessly gave two or
three successive warwhoops in his sleep that
scared a busy burglar almost into con
vulsions. Not only did he drop everything
that he could drop, but came very near
dropping himself until he betnought him to
“put a move on.” Then he shot through a
window and hit the street running. Al
though he fell over everything accessible he
did not slow up nor remember that be had a
pistol until he got to a corner several blocks
away. Then he pulled the gun and glanced
at it but didn’t seem to have time to shoot
it as a gun ought to be shot. It seemed to
remind him of the horrors he had just
escaped, and he plunged it into his pocket
and vanished through an alley. When that
burglar gets his nerves steady once more he
will be provoked at that man and feel as if
there should be some law to prevent people
from scaring the very ap; etite out of a
hard-working burglar.
London has been investigating the
influenza. Although the inquiry is
said to have proved very in
teresting to tbe “royal commission,”
nothing worth speaking of was heard about
the origin of the disorder that has been
so very prevalent for the past two years ex
cept that it was found to be most prevalent
amoDg employes of the general postoffles.
That is probably because of their connec
tion with tbe postal savings banks which
brings them into almost contact with
drafts.
TITE MORNING NEWS : TUESDAY, JULY 7, 1891.
The Coming of Peffer and Simpson.
Our dispatches yesterday contained the
information that Senator Peffer, Repre
resentative Jerry Simpson and Mrs. Lease,
j of Kansas, would soon vi6it Georgia for the
I purpose of inducing alliancemen to abandon
; the Democratic party and join the People’s
! party. They will be given a respectful
bearing. They have nothing to say, and
can say nothing, tha: will influence any con
siderable number of alliancemen to leave
the Democratic party. Senator Peffer was
a repuPlican until he thought it would be to
his interest to break away from that party.
He has perhaps written as many bitter
things about the south and the southern
people as any other man in the north in
proportion to his capacity to do so, and if
the People’s party should amount to nothing
he would get back into the Republican party
as quickly as he decently could. He made
a speech at Cooper Institute, New \ ork, a
week or so ago which was coldly received.
It was a very commonplace speech. It was
chieflv noticeable for the evidences it con
tained of tbe senator’s ignorance of the
questions he undertook to discuss.
Representative Simpson is a much abler
man than Senator Peffer, but be creates
the impression that he is a political adven
turer and a demagogue. He is one of that
sort of men who come to the surface when
there is a feeling of discontent among the
people, and who aim to advance their own
fortunes by making themselves the leaders
of the discontented elements.
Mrs. Lease claims the credit of having
prevented Senator Ingalls’ re-election. If
her claim is well founded she is a curiosity.
She is a woman who uses violent lan
guage —a woman with whom other
women have very little sympathy. She says
nothing that is new or worth remembering,
but she attracts an audience because she
uses startling expressions and is therefore
rather amusing.
And these three apostles of tbe new party
are coming to Georgia to make converts. A
great disappointment is in store for them.
They cannot even bring the message that
the People’s party has control of Kansas.
Within the last month many of the sub
alliances of that state have passed resolu
tions announcing that they would have
nothing to do with that party The truth
is that most of the alliaucemen of Kansas
are republicans at heart, and in the
presidential eleotion they will vote the re
publican ticket. Alliancemen of Georgia
would make a great mistake if they should
place any dependence upon what Messrs.
Peffer and Simpson and Mrs. Lease may
say, and they know it. It may bo safely
assumed, there- fore, that the mission of
the three Kansas propagandists will be a
total failure.
A Question of Respectability.
In his speech at the Tammany celebration
in New York on July 4 Senator Colquitt
touched upon a matter to which republi
cans in the north are constantly referring—
namely, that in the north the people of
wealth and culture are, as a rule, republi
cans. The senator said: "I am glad to have
the opportunity of looking into the faces of
these democrats. I need no confirmation of
what I thought was true, that they were as
good-looking, as well behaved as the most
genteel republican. My republican friends
in this section of the country sometimes
rally me on the company lam with. They
say, in a patronizing way, but kind spirit,
that the democrats of this seotion are not
like the democrats of the south; that up
here the respectability is with the republi
cans, whilo down south, among you gentle
men, the respectability is with the demo
crats. It has oausod me to investigate and
to make as far as I could oritical observa
tion, and really in looking Over the person
nel of this largo gathering I confess you
look about as respectable as the most of the
republicans I meet. Be that as it may, in
our political estimate we judge men not by
their silk bats, patent-leather boots and
dudish dress, but by the soundness and
patriotism of their political views.’’
It is true that in the north there is a
larger percentage of what are called the
higher classes in the Republican party
thau in the Democratic party,
and the main reason is that the
manufacturers are republicans be
cause they favor the tariff policy of the Re
publican party, and the merchants who
handle the goods of the manufacturers sym
pathize with them. Another reason is that
the Republican party is the friend of
monopolies and trusts. Ilowever, all of the
respectability in the north is dot to bo
found in the Republican party. The Demo
cratic party has a very fair share of it, and
its share is steadily growing larger.
And it oan be said of the northern demo
crats that their political opinions are not
controlled, as those of the republicans are
to a great extent, by personal interests.
They are democrats because they believe
that democratic doctrines are better for
the whole people than those of the Repub
lican party. They have a higher regard
for the republic than for the almighty
dollar.
Chicago proposes to abolish Wall street
by establishing a stock exchange of her
owu. Such a movement would create a
panic among the speculators of New
York and cause a wild ttampede to the
west. Yet there is no apparent reason why
Chicago should not have a stock exchange.
It is a much more central location, and has
far more of the property in which shares
are sold in immediate contiguity. In fact,
the wonder is that the great western metrop
olis did not have such an exchange long ago
Another of those enormous Leary rafts is
now slowly making its way from St. John
to New York. It is said to contain 23,000
feet lineal measure, or about .3,500,000 board
measure, and is the largest lumber raft
ever constructed. It is towed by two ocean
tugs. That’s pretty cheap transportation
for lumber. Unless some of it breaks away
eu route that quantity of lumber should
make a slight quaver in the New York
lumber murket.
Norfolk is to have a brand new steamship
company, organized by Washington capi
tal, for the purpose of plying between Nor
folk and New York. Should it put on a
good fleet of steamers it may make the Bay
Line and the Old Dominion hustle for
freight. But its capital of $250,000 maxi
mum appears altogether too small for the
company to prov. a very strong competitor
to the old-established lines.
Cherokee Indians are not any more hos
tile than any other people who merely de
mand their rights. Apparently all they
ask is that the cattle herders who are graz
ing cattle on the “Cherokee strip” shall pay
rent for the use of it That’s reasonable
enough. No owner of land would be willing
to have it used by other people without
payment. Asa rule the Indian* only ask
for justice.

“No."

Raised the Church Debt.
“Talking of raising church debts," the man
who had been everywhere said to the Buffalo
Exvress. “I cleared up a debt for a church in
Deadwood once in spite of myself."
“Yes."
"It happened this way: I had been playing
poker the night before in great luck. Came out
a cool $10,01)0 winner. Then a kind of remorse
came over me and I made up my mind it would
be a good time to reform. I resolved to quit
poker and be respectable, and I thought a good
way to begin would be by going to church. So
I fixed myself up and walked into the biggest
church in the place. My intentions were really
good, but I hadn't slept any that night.
“The sermon was rather prosy, and I went to
sleep. After the sermon me parson ex plained
that tbe church was a little in debt, and he
thought th s would be a good time to pay off.
I woke up just in time to hear him say: ‘We
must raise $5,000.’
“Well, you see, I was half asleep, thought I
was still playing poker, au’ bearin' that put me
on my nerve. The deacon with the plate was
right beside me in the aisle. I pulled out rny
roll and yelled out: “I’ll see that $5,000 and go
$5,000 better.’ With that I put my whole SIO,OOO
on tho plate.
“They were used to such talk out there. They
thought I was a gambler who had got religion,
and before I was well enough awake to know
where I was the whole congregation was sing
ing, and the minister was praying for me. I
wasn’t going to back water then, so I let the
money go. Got a complimentary notice in the
Deadwood papers, posed as a philanthropist
and all that. Good joke oo me. wasn't it ?’’
“First-rate, andgdid you really quit gamb
ling ?"
‘ r Ye sir; quit for good and all,” ho said. And
then he added: “By the way, have you got any
tips on to-day 's races ?’’
Be At. the Speculator.
This incident is related in the “History of
Macomb County,” Michigan: Jacob Crawford
had located in Ray township. Shortly after
ward a land speculator appeared at his house
and made no secret of his plan to secure the
very land to which Mr. Cranford thought he
had a prior olaim.
“ 'First come, first served,’ you know, is the
rule of the land office,” said the man.
The stranger spent the night at dr. Craw
ford's cabin. After he had retired, the pioneer
said to his wife: “I’ve got to go to the land
office at Detroit and gotubead o' that feller. ”
“You can’t do it," said his wife. “He’s got a
smart pony, an all vou’ve got is your oxen.”
“But I’ll start to-night, and I'll beat him—on
foot, too.”
He set out at once, and mads good progress
until he sprained his ankle But he cut two
saplings with his sheath knife, and, usingthem
as crutches, proceeded.
When within ix miles of Detroit he heard a
horseman coming. He concealed himself in
the bushes until the horse and rider, who proved
to be the laDd speculator, passed. To his satis
faction he noticed the man ride up to a tavern
and dismount.
Crawford passed around the house unnoticed,
and puehed rapidly on to Detroit. He reached
the land office, made his claim, paid over his
money, received his certificate and was leaving
when the speculator entered.
"You here?" he demanded, in surprise.
“Yes, I'm here,” the sejtler returned, dryly.
“It’s ‘first come first served,’ yon know.”
A Very Bright Boy.
It was an evening Bchool in Providence, R. 1.,
says the Boston Herald. There was a class of
restless, dirty newsboys and bootblacks on the
front sent, trying to see how little they could
study, and how muoh they could annoy the
teacher. Finally the teacher called up the class
anil put them through the catechism on United
States history
“Who discovered America?"
Nobody seemed to know, and the teacher, a
long-suffering student from the university, lost
his patience. Shutting his book with a bang he
dismissed the class with these sarcastic re
marks:
“Well, when one of you boys get to the point
where he needs to have someone vote for him
as governor or president, ho will be ashamed to
think he doesn't know who discovered
America!”
One of the wickedest-looking of the boys
raised hi* grimy paw.
“Well, Tom, what is it?”
"I know who discovered America."
“Why didn't you tell, then?" asked the
teacher, sharply.
“Cos I didn't want to tell all I know,” said
Tom, while the class went off in a roar The
teacher called up the advanced class in spelling,
and there was a smile on ins face the rest of
the evening.
Make Signs.
“It teems to be a clear case against the pris
oner. If the court understands the evidence,
this gentleman asked the defendant a civil
question, and he, without replying, knocked
him down and proceeded to trample on him
and kick him in the most brutal manner. Has
counsel for the defense anything to say to the
contrary?”
"Permit me to explain, your honor. 1 admit
that until the facts are fully understood the
presumption is certainly against my client. But
1 wish to call your honor’s attention to the fact
that the prisoner, while hearing distinctly and
understanding all that te said to him, cannot
speak a word.” says the Detroit Are* Press.
"Admitting that, what has it to do with the
assault?”
•Everything, your honor The accuser came
to the defendant and asked him, ‘What do you
think we ought to do to the Italian Mafta in
this country?’ My client, unable to speik, yet
anxious to oblige the accuser with his opinion
on so serious a question, proceeded to demon
strate to him in a manner at once convincing
and effectual what he thotfght ought to be done
in the premises. It has been a great surprise
to us, your honor, that exceptions should have
been taken to an answer that was as convincing
as it w as striking.”

He’s letters for good lovers, he’s letters filled

And buried deep beneath the heap a little letter

Does it bring a waiting maiden love from a

No; better than that. It brings her a fat, large

The difficulty of distinguishing certain
forms of comatose sleep from actual death has
suggested all sorts of ingenious tests, such as
holding a bright looking glass In front ef the
nostrils, or forcing a spray of water against the

skin of the upper arm with a strong solution of
ammonia. If a sparx of life lingers it will be

The Emperor of Austria has for years past
found consolation for his troubles in the sym
pathetic companionship of a former well known
Viennese actress, Catharine gchratt, whose
counsels are said to have been of the utmost
advantage to him in many important affairs of
state. The emperor is accustomed to drive out
to the palace at Schoenbrunn ami there, leaving
his equipage, he is met by Mine. Srhratt and
takes long promenades with her in the forest.
Asa result of this friendship the actress is
known in Vienna as the vice empress. Her
extraordinary intelligence and clear judgment
are valued in the highest degree by the emperor.
Hon. Stephen A. Douglas addressed the re
cent Clover Club banqueters in Chicago as fol
lows: “This ceremony to-night makes me think
of a story, a real circumstance, that happened
in North Carolina some years ago. A negro
man and woman went to a justice of the peace
to get married. Two or three woeks after this
tiie man came back and said: ‘Marse justice,
you must tin marry us.’ ‘I can’t unmarry yon,'
was the reply. ‘You must.' ‘I oan't ' ‘But
you must.’ *1 can't. You have got to go before
a court and get a divorce.' ‘Boss, you got me
into all this trouble and you must g*t me out of
it.' ‘I can't do it. You took that woman for
better or worse.' ‘I know that, but then she is
a sight worse than I took her for.’ ’’
The friends of Mrs. Burton Harrison are fond
of saying that success has not spoiled her. No
one who has read her books needs telling that
she Is witty, and it is easy to suspect tnat she is
vivacious and companionable. Bbe enjoys the
amenities of social life, is a mistress of the art
of entertaining as of the rarer art of making
real friends. Mrs. Harrison was Miss Constance
Cary, and is a Virginian of the Virginians. Her
mother was a Fairfax, her father closely related
t o Thomas Jefferson. She grew up at Vanciuae,
the Fairfax place, was thoroughly educated,
visited Europe with her mother immediately
after the war, was married on her return and
has since lived in the midst of the metropolitan
society she has so cleverly satirised in ‘ The
Anglomaniacs." Mrs. Harr son has written
mufch of southern life. “Woman’s Han Uwork
in Modern Homes" and "The Old-Fashioned
Fairy Book" are among her earlier successful
volumes. Then she has the skill to conquer the
difficulties of play-writing. Everybody remain -

which she-adapted from the French of Scribe.
All of her plays have had a decided popularity.

Whether with a view to give precision to “the
young mans fancy” at this pairing season, or
merely to keep the gentler sex Informed regard
ing the demand in the matrimonial mar.e:
The Young '-lan has been inciting its readers to
define “the ideal wife." The replies appear to
agree that this perfect person must Strive to
exist solely for her husband's pleasure, profit
and convenience. One tersely, if a trifle un
grammatically, says : “There should be a
healthy compact between the piano and the
wringing machine, so that the dignify of labor
is not superseded by the dignity of art, but
each contribute to the domestic felicity.”
Another, who may have been dipping into
Schopeohauer’s abominable chapter on
“Women,” put his views into the epi
grammatic form: "One whose life says, ‘my
husband and 1' and not ‘I and my husband.''*
Cardinal Wolsey's Ego et mens Rea) would have
been more appropriate st:H. Chilling further
samples from the epistolary anthology we find
that in the view of various correspondents the
ideal w ife “has skill enough to cook a good din
ner without being wasteful, taste enough to
dress well without being extravagant, tact
enough to know when and bow to speak;” and
that moreever she must be “one whose love
prompts her to do what she can to make a
home on earth a stepping stone to a home in
heaven.’ One matrimonial monopolist even
goes so far as to say that she must “prefer the
company of her husband to that of any other
man, aud let people see it " We had always
thought that “letting people see it," in such
cases, was considered rather bid manners.
It is not generally known that the Princa of
Wales' breach of hospitality in playing baccarat
in defiance of the express wishes of his host at
Tranby Crolt was by no means hi* first offense
against the laws of hospitality and also of good
taste. He acted in very much the same fashion
some years ago at Goodwood, the country seat
of the Duke of Richmond. Ever since his mar
nage the Prince of Wales has been in the habit
of visiting the duke during the annual Good
wood races, with the princess and a large party
of royal guests. - n.o Duke of Richmond,
who is now an old maa, is very in
dependent of mind and possesses great
force of character. His horror for gambling
is well known, and when, a few years ago,
the prince's taste for baqcarat became the
talk of London, the duke, on the occasion of
the heir apparent * next visit, told him of hi*
aversion to games of hazard and exacted a
pledge from him that under no oircumstances
should baccarat be played during his stay. The
duke mekes an invariable rule of retiring every
night punctually at 10 o clock, no matter who is
present, and confiding in the promise of the
prince, although it had been somewhat reluct
antly given, the old peer went quietly to bed at
his usual time. On the third day of the races,
however, the duke, who had, as
usual, bidden his royal guests good night
at 10 o'clock, had occasion to come down stairs
again about an hour later. His horror and in
dignation may he better understood than de
scribed at finding the whole royal party seated
around a table in the library and playing bac
carat for very high stakes, with the Prince of
Wales acting as banker! So great was the
duke’s wrath that be openly protested to tbe
prince against the way in which his confidence
had been betrayed, the latter presenting but a
sorry spectacle during this algarade. for he
could find no good excuse for his extraordinary
behavior. The card party was broken up in
freat confusion, and it was never resumed
uring that or any of the subsequent visits at
Goodwood. ,
