After a great (leal of stormy talk the People’s party finally organized in Minne sota and resolved to take up a collection. Because the typical embodiment of the United States government is facetiously called “Uncle” Sam the farmers should not n s me that he is a pawnbroker. There is really no need for the Hon. Soeksy Simpson to protest that the Kansas alliance will not affiliate with the Demo cratic party. Up to the present writing no tangible evidence has appeared to show that toe said alliance has lieendivorced from the Republican party. D faicatious appear to be breaking out everywhere. One of the latest is a church treasurer who robbed the relief fund for th3 support of disabled ministers of $17,700. That’s about the muantst steal thus far heard of. But defaulters are not over par ticular whom they rob. If the government does not find any sort Of interference peso bio to protect the help less natives of the Caroline Islands against the brutality of tho Spaniards in response to the appeal of the chief sent to Washing ton for that purpose, it will really 1* a groat pity. Urdiuary civilization should entitle any nation to Bbield tho oppressed. When the Jews of Susolensk were ordered by the Russian government to adopt the orthodox Russian faith they quietly gath ered up their property and their religion and emigrated very suddenly. Possibly the autocratic order may hare been made merely in order that the local officials might get a cha .ee at the property of the depart ing Hebrews. For the first time since women began to bustle in business with men oue has been fouud guilty cf“financial irregularities.” She was a Kansas woman in charge of the West ern Union telegraph office at Leavenworth. Women are gradually “catching on” to business practises. This thrifty female had been running salaries for imaginary em ployes on her books so as to be gorgeous on her vacation. Vauity is woman's worst foe. Journalists in the Crescent city have not in a great while had such an old-fashioned duel with rapiers as recently occurred be tween the editors of La .Mascot and L Or leanais just across the Louisiana line. Only one participant was injured. But that was rather a serious thrust beneath the eye. As Editor Bouby escaped injury it is only natural to assume that Editor Carruthers was less skillful with the weapons. At all events rapiers are not quite so dangerous as derringers. “Get right with God” is the pious motto found over the door leading to an Arkansas thief's treasure den in a garret. Since the religious, but not particularly rhetorical, thief has been arrested he will have to get right with the government about a lot of pilfered plunder found concealed behind his sanctimonious sign. After that to will have time to arrange his relations else where. Possibly a good deal of his spare time may be consumed, however, before he manages to “get right.” Nothing dignified about the black Sultan of Zanzibar. When his horses run away he precipitately jumped from the carriage and literally fell all over himself in the Zanzibar streets. When fished out of the gutter he was a greatly bedraggled and bruised and panic-stricken ruler, apparently ready to run on the slightest provocation, and com pletely bewildered with uncertainty as to what hit him. Clearly the Sultan of Zan libar has not very full control of his nerves. That's the only thing about him that is clear. Deeper Water for Savannah. There is one thing upon which the people of this city are agreed, and that is that Sa vannah harbor must be deepened to twenty six feet at the earliest possible moment. To do this an appropriation must be obtained from this congress sufficient to c uuploto tho harbor improvement that lias ben begun. And it ought n*t to be very dllli cult to get such au appropriation with the assistance of tho precedent whicu the last congress made iu the case of Galveston harbor. Mr. Plant and the other gentlomen who made an inflection of the harbor ihursday were tlmroughlv convinced that an immense area of southern ud western country would 1)0 benefited to an incalculable extent by the deepening of Savannah harbor t > twenty six feet. The harb r is now the befit that any commeicial port o:i tho South Atlantic coast has from Norfolk to Key West. It a commodates vessels having a draft of twenty-one feet. But that it not sufficient to meet the demands of Savannah’s rapidly growing commerce, which last year on unto 1 ti* slsh,i 'IO,OOO. The fanners in a dozen or more great states would be helped indirectly by deeper cater in Savannah harbor, and if their at io ittiii is pr iperly drawn to the matter their influence will lie felt in behalf of an n.mropriation which would give Savannah the depth of water she heeds. Indeed, it has becomo an imperative necessity that there shall boa commercial port on the South Atlantic coast that will accommo date the largest class of steamships. Savan nah, as stated, already has the best of the Sjuth Atlantic hart) rs and also by far the largest commerce. And her commerce is steadily inc easing. She is certain to be the terminus of several more railroads in the very near future which, together with the great radrtad systems wnich now have their terminals within her limits, will swell her commerce to twice its present propor- tions. The first thing to tie done is to lmpreefi congress with the necessity for giving Sa vannah deeper water. Ttus can be easily done If the business men go about it in tho right sort of way, and are enrnost and persistent, they will find no trouble in get ting assistance. The region of country partly or wholly dependent upon Savannah for the expor.ation of its products is ira menie, and the whole of it can be so aroused that it will exert a:i active influence in be half of the object desired. The business men of Savannah, however, must go to work systematically and with the deter mination that they will not fail. A plan of action has been mapped out, and If those who are willing to act as man agers and directors are properly supported it can be safely predicted that congress will grant all that Havannah asks. But there must be no lack of enthusiasm. Only united action and persistent effort wili win success. Hounding Russian Hebrews. Clearly the great czar of all the Russia* has for some unknown reaam a deep-rooted animosity toward the Jewish Inha Hants of his dominions. Ostensibly it is based upon the alleged participation of some Hebrews in the nihilistic plots that have from time to time been discovered. At all events he pas evidently made up his imperial mind to punish the whole race severely so far as its members are within the reach of his auto cratic power. According to a recent dispatch from War saw, over a hundred Jews have already been detained at the Russian frontier in obedienc > to the latest imperial edict, which forbids them to emigrate. Not only are they to be forbidden to enter commercial purnuits without especial permission, and in many cases despoiled of the accumula tions of years, but they are now to be pro hibited from escaping the czar’s vengeance by removing to foreign lands. Very likely this is the first manifestation of the czar’s anger at what he considered the unwarranted interference of the pi emi nent Jews of Europe when ho first ordered the confiscation of the property of all those who might be found guilty of uoiry. Of court© tho servile minions of the autocrat found no difficulty in satisfying themselves that ail were guilty because they shared in the spoils thus secured. But what aroused the czar’s anger more than anything else and what he most bit terly resonted was probably the interfer ence of the Rothschilds and other Jewish bankers to render the latest Russian loan a failure. That is what the poor Jews of Russia will have to suffer for. By way of making them “loyal subjects” he may now take the notion into his autocratic head to confiscate enough of their property to supply the deficiency caused by the interference of their wealthy brethren abroad. Such an idea would not bo at all unlike him. Asa modern government Russia can scarcely be said to come within the pale of civilization. That statement recently made at Atlanta to the effect that Lawyer Tom Watson had burned his library and intended to abandon the practice of law was probably nothing more than a canard. So foolishly absurd a performance a; that would not be at all likely to raise him in public esteem so as to put him in iiue for an alliance nomination to succeed Gov. Northern Such a sugges tion implies that tbe alliance is particularly partial to fcols. That imputation is a slander upon the alliance. Beside there has not been heretofore any evidence to establish a suspicion that that congressman is either a fool or a demagogue. Conduct such as he is accused of by that anonymous and irresponsible dispatch would prove him to bo both—lf it were true. Nearly all of the New York newspapers are now vigorously engaged in ripping Count Porter up the back, as it were, be cause of some of his wobbly census figures about the expense of maintaining cities. They claim that the big metropolis is con ducted on a nice and economical plan. Heuce they rise suddenly in their places all along Park Row as one shout aud call tbe count a liar. They also administer to him with force aud effect about every other epithet that the ancient and honorable sis terhood of the fish market has invented up to the hour of publication, and the light is stiii on. Fame doesn’t count for much in tbe “roornl deeatricts.” Since Chicago has surrounded itself with a deuse growth of rustic scenery the newspapers seem uuable to see through the suburbs. Although Sen ator Walthall is so well known in Missis sippi that he can afford to be indifferent to renomination the telegraph editor of the Chicago Tribune, ensconced in the shrub bery of that vast plrteau by the lake, spelis the senator’s name Waltham, In spite of the assertions of the congressional directory to the contrary. This will foi ce the senator to enter politics again and try to establish his name once more. THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, JULY U, 1801. At Heme to Stay. It is pretty well understood that Fred erick Douglass, the American minister to Hayti, is at home to stay. Even so radical a republican paper as the New York Re order says that he “can do bis country better service here than in Hayti. His appointment was a sentiment, and, like sentiment generally in public affairs, a in l* take.” Minister Dongle** has done a great deal of talking since ms arrival from Hayti, and in nothing he has said has he shown his fitness for the responsible position he holds. He is not a dipl niatist in any respect. His career in Hayti has bcon a total failure. He doesn’t apfear to have accomplished anything that is of any benefit to this country. He has succeeded in one thing and that is talking too much. Most diplo mats are inclined to hi reticent. Minister D juglass has reversed the rule. Even the state department finds it difficult to get him to keep his mouth shut. It may b) that he didn’t hunt up a newspaper reporter as soon as he a-rived in New York, but he was evidently anxious to see one, and when the reporters approached him he didn't need a second invitation to talk. One of the things he was expected to do in Havti was to get a coaling station on the island f>r our government. He didn’t suc ceed. and, according to his story,tho reason he didn’t was that he was instructed by the state department to make the request for the station subordinate to a demand of a New York steamship company for a large subsidy—the subsidy demand being based upon alleged benefits which Hayti had re ceived from this country and also from the steamship company. [’resident ilippolyte declined to pay any subsidy, for reasons which appeared to bo very satisfactory to him, and he also de clined t grant this government an inde pendent c ruling station. The refusal to grant the coaling station appears to have bad some connection with the steamship o mpany’s demand for a subsidy. Minister Douglass, there'ore, accomplished nothing, but when he reached this country he made a statement that does not appear to be very creditable to this government. It is not to be wondered at that republican papers are saying that be can render better service here than in ilayti. And it is not easy to see that he can render any service here. The Btory that Minister Douglass locked himstif in his room and was nearly fright ened to death when Hippolyte was having some of those who were plotting against his government shot to death iu the streets of Hajti s capital may be somewhat exagger ated, but tbare is enough in it probably to show that Minister Douglass does not com mand enough respect in Hayti to enable him to be of use there to this country. His diplomatic career may be considered as ended. And the government is not proud of its Haytian minister. Imitation cowboys are a very poor sub stitute for the genuine article, as a badly damaged New York specimen of the former and one dead broncho and a dying obild bear eloquent witness in Brooklyn. When a wild Texas strer broke loose the New York imitation cowboy took time to fumble and get out bis lasso, which a Texas cow boy never doeL Instead he has it always ready. Then the curbstone plainsman hurled the lariat like a bundle of washing and missed the whole steer, which n Texas cowboy would never do. Why, the great awkward gawk didn’t even know enough about riding a broncho to keep away from the horns of the vicious animat Sympathy for the novice will be greatly tempered by contempt for a man who will endanger life by blundering with something he doesn’t understand. Although the German emperor mani fested no outward indications of nervous ness when that Eton youth fired point blank toward him from a guu that was sup posed to be unloaded, and which all the officers hastened to assure the emperor con tained only a blank cartridge left in by oversight, the kaiser afterward insisted that he heard the whiz of the bullet past his ear. That may have been merely au imaginary sound produced by surprise or alarm, how ever. Yet it does appear somewhat singu lar that the gun should have contained a cartridge at all after tho previous day’s evolutions, which must have drawn the students' attention to it, oven though they did not call for its use. Patriotism raged as thick and hot at Byracuse on the Fourth as at any other settlement in New York. During the thiokest and hottest of the proceedings oue patriot closed in upon a seditious-looking firecracker that was feebly sizzitig defiance under tho curbstone, when it suddenly pulled itself together and exploded with a degree of enthusiasm that shattered the hat and blew off tha ear of the advancing foe and caused him to retreat in a largo panic of disorder. These feeble-iooking bomhs are not always safe to monkey with when they appear to ba decrepit. All of the recent financial depression is attributed by “Uncle” Rufus Hatch to the 40,000 Amerloans who go abroad to spend their gold and thus leave in Europe some where near $60,000,000 annually That gives the tourists credit for the most prodigal extravagance in averag ing $1,500 each in the sixty days’ time that they average there, or $25 a day each, and gives no credit what ever for the money brought and left here by visiting foreigners. That's one way of accounting for the outflow of gold, but it clearly is not an acourate way. Respectable citizens who die suddenly in the big towns nowadays frequently leave entirely too many widows. Monopolizing the feminine population in that way isn’t right. Besides it makes trouble about dividiug up the estate. It is generally very bard to convince these better quarters and eighths that the other fractional portions of tbe decedent’s domestic arrangements ought to get any of the surviving pluuder. It is hard euough to settle with a surviving better half with out reducing the post mortem calculations to long division. Tribulation has broken ou: ln a fresh place among Minnesota alliaucemen. Apparently they have the most unprincipled lot of com mercial people ou this continent to deal with in that state. Now it is their regularly appointed alliance trader who has been swindling them in binding twine that was merely a base imitation of what it was represented to be. By that sharp little device their trusted representative pocketed $15,000 or more. It will result in such a storm of indignation os may shatter the or ganization.

Probapi.y no bank president in New York receives more social calls in business hours than does Hon. Thoruas 1.. James, president of the Lincoln National Bank.

The professor of natural sciences at ann Arbor was discussing the process of fertilizing plants by means of insects carrying the pollen from one plant to another, says the Detroit Free Press, and to amuse them told how tbe ol 1 maids were the ultimate cause of it all The bum ble been carry the pollen; the field mice eat the bumble bees: therefore, the more field mice the fewur bumble bees aud the less pollen and variation of plants. But cats devour the field mic* and old maids protect cats. Therefore, more old maids the more cats, the fewer field mice tne more b©cg. Hence, old maids are the cause of variety in piftiits. Thereupon, a sophomore with a single eye glass, an English umbrella, a box coat, with his “trousers” rolled up at the bottom, arose and asked: “Isa-a y, professah. what is the cause ah of old maids, don’t you know 1 '” “Perhaps Miss Jones can tell you,” suggested the professor. “Dudes!” said Miss Jones sharply and with out a moment’s hue tation. There was sileuce in the room for the space of thirty seconds, after which the lectnre was resumed. Th© Ease Ball Girl. From the Kansas City Star. She’s a verv swagger maiden, of a figure rather tall. And she doesn't talk like other girls, but only of base ball. She 8 pert, and sometimes pretty, when she speaks about the game, Aud she thinks to be a pitcher is th© highest meed of fame. She’ll clap her tan gloved hands in glee to cheer a splendid hit. And sometimes when her 6ide has won site'll flirt a little bit; But if you *poak the love that does your foolish heart enthrall. She ll tell you you must join a nine and 6tudy to play ball. She talks of “flies” and “liners” in a manner that is nat; She can tell you iu a minute who it is that’s at the hat; She dotes on Keefe and Connor and raves about their “curves,” And you’d realiv think she had been constructed without nerves. For she doesn't mind it if a foul comes spinning to her side; She catches ir and sends it back, and looks quite satisfied. She's up on all the doubje plays and marks on her cuff; But she cannot, keen a score card, though she makes a splendid bluff Beware the base ball maiden and her fetching little ways; She's deadlier than the summer girl that now in ambus i lays. She comes in vr th the springtime, and there's mischief in her eye; And though she doesn't look it, she's most in tensely fly. John T. Abbott.

A small family, consisting of man, wife and baby, is living in a big dry goods box in an open field just off Mountain street, near the di vision line between Worcester and Holden, Mass. The woman is 21 years of age and her babe 7 weeks. She says about a year and a half ago she married Joseph Pitts, a farm laborer, at Greemlale. The Laby was born in a boarding house, and she and Hits had been living, together with the infant, in the dry goods box for two weks. Pitts hires the land, and the woman says he intends to put up a hotter shelter. She has a brick firep ace out side th • box, w’here she does cooking. Joseph Pitts, the husband, ia a cripple, ad walks with two canes. The marshal says there is no call for police interference. Tbe woman is satisfied with her lot, and the baby seems benithy. Y’or can take any man for Christ if you know how to get at him, writes Dr. Ta'mage in the L dies'Home Journal Truman Osborne, one of the evangelists who wont through this coun try many years ago, had a wonderful art in the rigl t direction. He came to my father s house one day. and while we were ail 6t-a f ed in tne room ho said: “Mr. Talrrmge, are all your chil dren Christians?’' Father sail: all but De Witt.” Then Truman Osborne looked down into the fireplace and began to tell a story of a storm that came on the mountains, and all the sheep in the f< Id; but there was one lamb outside that perished in the storm. Had he lo >kou me in the eye I should have been angered when he told that story: but he looked into the fireplace, ami it was so pathetically aud beauti fully done that I never found any peace until I was sure I was inside the fold, where the other sheep were. A well-known entomologist shot a male king bird a few days ago and on picking it up wai surprised to fled a strange looking beetle crawl out of its month. This gave th© gentleman an i Va, and on skinning the bird preparatory to mounting he took particular pains not to injure tbe gizzard. On opening tnis he found ex actly what he thought he would—a mate for the lieetle “The fact that I found oue bee tie h*retoforu supposed to be a stranger to this locality led me to think that perhaps toe bird had caught both the male and tne female and I was right. This ourious incident shows how little is known even of the fauna of our own n-ighborhood Here I have been studying bee tles for twenty years past and have handled iu that time more than 2,000 species, yet in this strange manner, and at a time when I Dast ex pected it. anew species falls directly into my hands. This also shows the variety of food eaten by the king bird one of whose favorite morsels is the common honey be©. These it de vours to such an extent that it has become a nuisance to bee keepers, who know it as the ’bee bird’ or ‘eagle tighter." A New York man met Gov. Campbell of Ohio under rather interesting circumstances th> other day: “I was ridin * on a train,” he says, “and got into conversation with a gentle man sitting next to me. I am a stanch re publican, and in the course of our talk the sub ject of politics came up His expressions led m©to be iove him a republican, and I launched out into an extravagant eulogy of Mai. McKinley. I said no more than i really felt when l declared that if any man ever deserved to be elected governor it was McKinley, and I further stat-d that 1 hoped above all things to see him the vic'or in th© coning contest. I expected to hear my companion applaud nay sentiment, but instead he merely gave a quiet smile and a slight nod, saying McKinley was a personal friend of his. 1 paid no further atten tion to tne matter, supposing him to be one of the lukewarm people one often meets. But when he finally introduced himself as Gov. Campbell there was a dull thud in my head as I suddenly realized the significance of the quiet socle at my praise of McKinley I knew I made myself ri iiculous in trying to explain matters, but he let me express myself so coolly it made my head swim." Although a native of San Francisco, Miss Ijouise H. King has lived nearly all her life in New York city. She her artistic studies at 16 years of agp. first the National Academy of Design and after at the Art 3;u ents’ League, where she became adsociatud with dr. Turner and Kenyon Cox. At a reception given by th© m: league Benjamin Constant selected her life work for special and complimentary mention, Faying he could scarcely l-elieve it bad been do.ie by a young girl. Her style recalls that of Puvis do Chavaunes. being suitable for frescos and mural decorations and is distinguished for if s vtry subdued coloring. Miss King does all her work directly fn.*m l.fe, never trom sketches, and while she has been markedly successful in por trait painting, having had several exhibited at the academy, she confines her attention chiefly t v th© art of decoration. There is very little of Miss King's works to be seen in New Vork now, moat of it being away at different expositions orin th * houses of patrons, for she is among those wt’o find reaay purchasers for her stud: ies. She is only 24 years of age. still 60 very young that with such brilliant promise her art career can scarcely be said to have begun. Certainly she has given great encouragement to American girls who are devoted to art yet fancy that the field is so well occupied by for eigners taat Americans do not value the work of the "home brush.” A few WF.E&S ago the queen regent of Spain wrote to his holiness, th© pope, asking him to grant a bishopric to a poor and humble priest, the son of a Tyrolese shepherd. The interest shown by the young sovereign in this lowly member of me cuurch has its source in an inci dent, touching if somewhat ludicrous, which took pla*e when Marie Christine was a little g.rlof o years, says “the Marquise de Fontenoy” iu the New York Recorder, Sae was one day roaming about the mountains with her gov erness when a violent storm cam© on, and they took shelter in a shepherd’s hut which was near at baud. A little curly-hca led boy, only a few months older than the tiny archduchess, was amusing himself with some pebbles in a corner of the miserable dwelling when thev entered. Resenting this sudden in trusion, th* boy marched up to tb© princely child and gave her a smart blow on the back. Poor Marie Christine, offended and hurt beyond description by this extraordinary action, hurst into a violent fit of weeping and wa* pacified with th© utmost dlffi cully. A few years iater, when her royal and imperial highnets made her first communion, she expressed the desire of paying for th© dresses worn bv some poor communicants, among whom happened to be the son of the 1 Tyr-.lese shepherd, the boy who had ouoe so grossly insulted her. She remembered him at I once, and hearing that he wished to become a I priest undertook to defray all the expenses of his educat ion. Ever since that <iay the Queen has been the providence of the poor priest, v> hose name is Angeroff, and she wrote to tim before demanding from the pope the bishopric above mentioned, saying: “I want you to be come a bishop because you know bo well how to cressmnrrt" ithat is the laying on of hands, or confirming!.
