Comparing Hill With Cleveland.
Writing to the October North American
Review concerning what he ca ls political
“straws.” Kditor Henry Watterson com
pares the relative political positions of
Cievela .and and Hill and expresses the opinion
that “if Gov, Hiil could have seen bis way to
it, the Democratic party and these two em
inent party leaders would stand to-day upon
much higher and solider grounds. It may
not have been in human weakness, but
it would have boon in worldly wisdom had
the governor recognized the fact that his
election a* governor and Mr. Cleveland’s
defeat as President, on a common ticket,
made his own succession to the presidency
uncertain. If there was between them an
outstanding acoount, this balanced it
and Gov. Hill could have afforded
to make a sacrificial offer of
an olive branch. Mr. Cleveland could not
have refused. Indeed, it was eminently a
case where sacrifice was sagacity, and gen
erosity prudence. It would have set at rest,
and at once, all issues betweeu leaders who
were too strong to quarrel. It would have
made them one in an irresistible movement,
supported by the noblest popular enthu
siasm. It might not, indeed, have ended in
the election of Gov. Hill to the presidency,
though it would have taken that direction,
but it would have done more than this; it
would have made him a national leader and
an unchallenged power among men.
Without these attributes of popular lead
ership, the eminent Ken uckian regards
the presidency as the merest bauble, and
save that “whilst Gov. Hill i9 making
himself strong in the state of Hew York,
he is in reality doing bis great talents for
affairs injustice with the country at large.
In a word, these two party chiefs ought to
see that they are wasting a vast amount of
good fighting material. If each oouid
take to himself a little of the
other, both would be mended. As
it is, the very advantages they may
gain—the one in the country by the at
tractive side of his character aud personality
which he shows the masses; the other in the
state by his dextrous and astute handling
of local aud muscular forces—work only
evil to the cause that ought to be, and un
doubtedly is, dear to them both. In the
end they may find that they have lost all;
for the Democratic party at large is grow
ing very restive under New York turbu
lency, and it only wants a good pretext,
and someone to head it, to throw off the
dominion of the Empire state once and for
all.”
When the Louisville editor soys that the
coarse of either or both of these very dis
similar gentlemen will “ work only evil to
the cause" of democracy be certainly ex
aggerates the actual statu of the cause.
Whatever their intentions might be oven the
worst that they could do would only be in
jurious for a time and would then redound
to the advantage of the party. But that
statement scarcely applies to Mr. Cleveland
in any way. Nothing that he has done has
yet worked any evil to the party. On the
contrary the party has been greatly
strengthened and benefited by the courage
of conviction that he has manifested even
to his own temporary injury. Still the
chances are that both he and the Demo
cratic party will soon reap the results of
the heroic educational work that he so
fearlessly undertook five years ago.
With Gov. Hiil the ease is altogether dif
ferent. Pretty much all of his talents have
been exclusively devoted to acquiring skill
in the manipulation of local affairs withiu
his own state. Therefore he has not attained
to any position that deals with national
affairs and really entitles him to be con
sidered a factor in national politios beyond
being elected to a national legislative office
that he has not yet filled nor manifested any
particular faculties for filling. What capa
bilities he possesses for dealing with national
questions yet remain for the future to dis
olose.
So far as the alleged “dominion of the
Empire state” is concerned that has always
been largely imaginary. With properly
organized systematic work the Democratic
party could get along quite corofortably
without New York. No one state should be
allowed to dominate the party beyond the
limits of its legitimate rights.
While Gov. Hill would amount to very
little in point of real political strength out
side of New York Mr. Cleveland is almost
os popular in many other states as he is in
his son.
“Can we make it rain at will and by con
cussions and explosions!” it a question much
discussed, and the closer it is examined in
the light of theory, fact and experimtnt the
more uncertain it seems to become. In the
current number of the North American
Review Gen. Dyrenforth, who had charge
of the recent raiu-making experiments in
Texas, answers the question in the affirma
tive, and newspaper correspondents claim
ing to have been on the spot at the time
said the experiments with dynamite, raeka
rock, kites and balloons were glorious
successes and produced copious and
continued downfalls of rain. But
now comes the Chicago Farm I>rpie*
nisnt News with an extensive account of
the experiments,pronouncing them an utter
and ridiculous failure. This writer says he
was with Gen. Dyrenforth and the govern
ment scientists on the field when they bom
barded the heavens, and quotes some of
them in proof of his assertion that, while
the experiments, after a great deal of
blundering, made a great deal of noise, they
did not make a drop of rain to fall on the
arid plains of Texas. So far Jtonarcn Mel
bourne seems to have a mammoth monop
oly in the moisture making business.
There is still a great deal of alarm among
northwestern elevator men and grain
buyers regarding the wheat of Northern
Miunesita and North Dakota. Col. C. A.
Morton, the North Dakota expert buyer,
has written u personal letter from Fargo
to a friend in Minneapolis in which he says
that “the present outlook for a portion of
tnis crop, not less than 40 oer cent, of it, is
decidedly squally. Of alt the grain raised
in North Dakota, fully that percentage is
to-day in tbs shock, and no small portion
of it is sprouting. If this weather con
tinues the stuff will be rotten, worthless
and unfit even for hog feed.” All this is
chiefly due to the scarcity of competent
(arm labor to handle the grain.
All that plausible persu ssion can do Presi

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1891.
Prelates Still Condemn Parnell.
In the latest number of the Dublin Cath
olic appears a long article accredited to
Archbishop Walsh, in which the chief pre
late of the Catholic church in Ireland is
alleged to have literally followed Leader
Parnell into the grave with an attack of
the must acrimonious violence of ecclesias
tical denunciatian.
According to the cabled report the article
says among other things that "Mr. Parnell’s
death is one of those events which remind
the world of God. So far as known Mr.
Parnell died unrepentant of the offense
against his God and bis country. He died
plotting fresh discord, while the obampion
or tr.e tool of faction, steeped in troitorism
to the very lips. By the grave now open,
charity can ecarcely find a place. Such
tears us are shed must be for tbe memory of
what he had once been.”
Continuing the article declares that “the
name of Parnell and tbe story of Ireland’s
destinies are forever linked,* The reoord of
his services must always live. The pity is
that it must bs read through the tangled
veil woven in bis later days of pride, sinful
ness and falsity. Parneliism is doad. It is
impossible to say how far Parnell’s name
may still be used as a rallying cry for
treachery. The weeds which grow on the
grave of a dead cause are noxious and rank.
But there is no cause to fear that those
which spring from the tomb of Par
neltism will be able to thwart the
freedom of Ireland. Her feet are
strong enough to tread down the
unholy growth. To Catholics the close
of Mr. Parnell’s career is one of terrible
significance. Death has come in the home
of sin, his last glimpse of the world unhal
lowed by the consolations of religion, his
last memory linked forever with hers whose
presence seems to forbid the thought of re
pontauce. He bus passed into eternity
without a sign of sorrow for the insult
offered to morality, for his offense against
the law resting at the base of society, for
his revolt against his native land and
against tbe anointed prelates aud ministers
of God's church.”
Ignoring the said "prelates and minis
ters” was probably in the opinion of those
gentlemen “the bead and front of hisoffeud
iug.” Apparently they oouid not forgive
his refusal to meekly recognize tbe power
and especially the authority of the church.
But they seem to have manifested toward
him a degree of unrelenting animosity that
he could scarcely have surpassed in tbe most
maliguant mood of his most profoundly
impious condition.
Kesentment is a very humane frailty and
exceedingly difficult to repress under some
circumstances. Nevertheless when we leave
wholly out of account all other worthy and
germane considerations it still appears only
tbe part of ordinary politenees and in con
s mauce with tbe accepted theories of fair
play that the prelates ot Ireland should have
fully given vent to their feelings and opin
ions while the subject of their somewhat
acerb antipathy yet remained alive.
Muddle of the Pacific Missionaries.
Statesmen rarely hurry. Diplomatic
methods are very slow. But they have
rarely been more tedious than in the mat
ter of the complaints of the American mis
sionaries that they have been ill-treated by
tbe Spanish government authorities at tbe
town of Ponape in the Caroline Islands.
Complaints from there were first made to
the state department from Boston more
than a year ago according to tbe Washing
ton correspondent of a Ch.oago paper.
Earnest requests have been prsfered to the
government that a demand shall be made
that Spain shall cease to permit the out
rages said to have been perpetrated upon
American missionaries. Inquiries which
have frequently beeu made at the state de
partment during the past year for informa
tion have invariably been met by the reply
that the communication with the islands
is exclusively maintained by a mission boat,
thut makes tbe tour of certain islands in tbe
Pacific, touching at each one of them once
in a year.
When last touched upon in the diplomatic
correspondence that has been published, the
trouble seemed to bo one botweo i toe Cath
olic authorities opposed to Protesiant mis
sions, aud the missionaries supported by
natives, who were more friendly to the
Protestant missionaries than to those of the
Catholic church.
When he was Secretary of State Mr.
Bayard had the matter under considera
tion. But owing to inadequate communi
cation he found it difficult to make prog
res i. As the report is not denied that the
President has sent a domaud to Spain for
immediate attention to the matter, A is as
sumed that the missionaries have been
heard from and ‘ hat the annoyances to
which they had been subjected were still
continued. Among the Washington offi
cials it is believed that the President has
made a formal demand upon Spain in this
matter.
This doesn’t seem to be coming anywhere
near following the scriptural injunction
which tells us that the “brethren should
dwell together iu unity of spirit and the
bonds of peace.”
Apparently the Christian missionaries
have now as they have always had more
reason to apprehend persecution from their
civilised brethren than from the savages
whom they go out to enlighten and to teach
their own doctrines of amity and benevo
lence one to another. But they do not seem
to go so far as to formulate any very defi
nite views upon the very interesting subject
of tolerance and liberality of thought.
Therefore It will be seen that Chnstiau
civilization in its very highest state of de
velopment has some defects from which the
most utterly thoughtless barbarian is free.
After the manner of the politicians these
aggressively unfriendly elements of our
p.ous brethren should “get together”—not
with belligerent intent, but amicably.
Contradicting the statements concerning
the growing hardupness of the national
treasury seems to keep Secretary Foster
very busy. Yet he has to admit that in the
course of the (1 jurishing prosperity that he
claims to be guiding and controlling he
found it necessary to withdraw from the
national banks $35,000,000. That is a
pretty suug sum. But it is quite safe to
say that he now has very little of it left to
bold down the floor of the treasury vaults.
If a democratic administration doein't soon
take the reins of government Uncle Bam
will have to get out and hypothecate some
of bis prospect* for mosey enough to pay
pensions.
Borne of the republican papers are print
ing a picture whim represent* the Uepub

dissipated old woman would be far more
accurate and a true picture would show ber
to be in pretty bed shape.

Some of Parnell’s Shortcomings.
From the New Po-fc Times (Ind.).
Whether his shortcoming was due to incapac
ity or to the faet that the Irish leader found
agitation more profitable than settlement. It is
equally true that bis leadership produced noth
ing for Ireland but a continuance of agitation.
This fact makes It doubtful whether the re
grets that were expressed at the time of his ex
pulsion from the leadership, whe t the Irish
prospects looked particularly bright, were well
lounded. or whether he would have succeeded
la doing for Ireland what he never showed any
capacity to do.
Pacified by Prospects of Plenty.
From the Kansas City Star (Dem.).
All reports agree as to the falling off in the
attendance at tne alliance meetings In Kansas
this year as compared with last fall. The
farmers are not lakmg anything like the lm
terest in the political gatherings of the now
parly that they did a year ago. Whether this
is due to the tact that they are too busy at
work to give any attentlou to politics or to an
abatement of interest and zeal in the cause is a
question. The politicians of the old parties
claim that the alliance has spent its strength,
and that its power Is visibly declining The ac
curacy of this osiumptiou remains to bu tested.

Chased the Cash Ball.
Some amusement was created in a dry goods
store in this city the other day when a farmer
came in to make a purchase, says the Bing
hamton Herald.
He bought some calico, and when the clerk
placed tiie $5 bill the farmer gave him in the
cash hall and sent it spinning toward the cash
ier 6 desk a funny sight was witnessed.
Our rural friend evidently thought that was
the last he would ever see of his bill uaiess be
moved lively, which he did, keeping his eyes
fixed on the ball. He collided with an old lady,
fell over one of the seats, regained his feet and
kept right on until he arrived at the cashier's
desk.
“By gosh! I want my money,” he gasped.
*Tve read too much about bunco steerers to lose
my money, and I*ll have my change if I clean
out the whole sheebanr.”
He was finally pacif.el, and departed amid
the bread smiles of tne cicrks an 1 customers in
the store. As ho went out he muttere:!:

lived across the road, aad who thought he was
sick, came over and touched him on the
shoulders: “Go 'way,'* growled tho tramp, “I
haiu't botherin’ you none, be I?”
‘•Why, no,” said the tender-hearted man,
“but I thought that you might be sick.”
•‘Well, I haint sick, and 1 don't ask any odds
of you,see?”
‘‘But, ray good man.” persisted he of the ten
der heart, * there must bo something the matter,
or you would not sit here in that disconsolate
manner. I have been watching you for an
hour. If I can do anything for you I will gladly
do What is the trouble?”
‘•Well, dere's plenty ’nuff de matter, see? I
haint a man what wears his heart on his sleeve,
but if you wanter know what's troublin’ me I
jist s leave tell yer. 1 haint done a day’s work
in three years until yesterday. Den I was out
in the country here a piece an’ de farmers was
dead learv au’ I was out of shoes and needed a
shirr, an' wen one of dem jays offered me a
day's work for a dol.ar 'n a half to pull beans
fer him I tuk *im up. I went ter work an'
worked very hard all day, an’ wen night
kem aroun’ an' 1 was nearly dead. I went up
to de house an’ asked me boss fer me doller
*n* a half. He says, ‘Wait till I go down to
de lot an' see how much yer done. Jle went
down an' when he kem back lie says ter me
‘You blamed fool! them ain't my beans what
you hev been pullin', but the man's on the nex
farm. Yer didn't go ter do lot what I told yer
to. I hain t a goin' to pay yer fer pullin’ an
other man's beans,' An'he give me de dirty
laugh. I went over to the udder man, but be
says that he didn't hire me au' won’t pay me.
That's what's the matter uv me. De idea of
werkin’ nearly broke my heart, but when I do
work an’ den gits nothing for it but de dirty
laugh, the old heart's busted entirely au' I'm
goin’ an' commit suicide.”
But the tender-hearted man gave him a
quarter and ho thought better of it.
He Won on a Hunch.
A frequenter of the Garfield races, says the
Chicago Tribune , relates the following, which
he declares is true, and says the man in the
story lives in a business way on Clark street.
He went out to the races with a party of gentle
men, all of whom were strangers. By the
time they arrived it was the opinion of all
that Royai was the horse to bet
on that day. Tho odds were largely in his
favor. By the time the betting began
the man from Clark street changed his mind.
For that he got the laugh from the others.
After the race was won ho met one of the party
with whom he had gone out and said in a d.sa -
pointed tone: “Weil, I guess 1a n a chinny. It
serves me right, I reckon, for nut staying witn
you fellows. Here I went and put my money
up on that rank outsider, Zed, and lost, of
course.”
‘ You say you bet on Zed?” asked the man
who had been addressed.
“That's what I did, and I’m a loser, of
course.”
“No. you are not, if you bat on Zed,” replied
the informant.
“Well i say I lost. I saw Zed come in last.
I was on the stand when I saw him come it. It
serves me right, and when I get away from
here this settles me ”
“How much did you bet?”
‘‘l put up S2O. If I tad won I would be win
ner $100.”
“Look at your ticket . ”
The Clark street man did so, but he said he
knew w hat he was talking about—t' at Zed
came in last. man to whom he had been
talking took the ticket and insisted that Zed
was the winner. He finally convinced the
Clark street man that he was ahead. The
latter made one long leap for the bookies, got
his money, came back to the coterie that had
boeu giving him the laugh, daunted his money,
anti said he was oft for town, and that he was
willing to quit at that . “How did you come to
put up your money on that horse?” asked one
of the men. wnose face had commenced to drag
the ground.
'•Weil, I went down to buy a ticket on Royal
Flush, just as you fellows di I. I was jostled to
one side by a nigger whom I noticed was
hunchbacked. I had heard of the luck of hunch
backs, although I never took any stock in the
superstition. As the darky jostled me I noticed
that he had a ticket on Zed. I said to myself:
‘That's a hunch for me,’ so I put my dust on
Zed. and. gentlemen, here I am, and I don’t
ha\e to walk back to town, either. And when
the town sees me you can bet it will keep me. 1
don’t come here to lose the money I won on the
hunchback darky's hunch.”
Bridget and thj Agent.
From the Arkansato Traveller.
Oi was sittin’ won noight on* tho sbtepa av me
shanty.
Toiered out wid me work, an’ the childer an'
all;
When close by mo soide, the ould woman (me
auntie)
gfcpako up in a voice shtrsng wid many a
brawl,
“Faix. here comes a spalpeen of an ag*nt, me
honey.
An' its pampas plumes wid him he carries,
bee ad!
Oi’d shwear be me sowl that Oi’d sphent all me
money.”
Och 1 said Oi, just the sight av the man makes
me mad.
For ye ell the summer 'fcwas agents and

A-ringin' me bell when so busy Ci wor.
An’ Oi'd raced up me shtairs till me legs wor as

A top that has sbpinned itself out on the

An', begorra, Oi'd sworn when me clanin' was

That divil a varmint should enter me gate.
With his this an' his that an* his one thiug an'

An' his blarney mixed in at bis rollickin’

So, as this won eh topped near me I said: “Av

It's no pampas plumes Oi’ll be wantin’ the

Poloite like, ye know; an' he said: “That's too

To establish mo trade Oi shall give these

Arrah, now, said Oi, if it’s givin' ye are. thin
Oi'll take jist a boonch for me front parlor

But he wiggled his hand loike a fool or a

Bayin': “.So, ye don't want them, Oi’ll keen

An' it's now day by day Oi am watchin’ an'

For jist sich a man to come up to me door;
An' it's ivory agent so kindly I'm tratin'
Lest the angel should pass unaware, as it wor;
But it's only the man wid the samples of wasn

The wife of John Stew’art, a merchant of
Schell City, Mo., died twenty years ago leaving
an infant daughter, who was soon after kid
naped by the parents of Mrs. Stewart, carried
to Virginia, 111 , and reared under the name of
Jda Bruce. Three weeks ago the child, become
a woman, married a man named Funk. In
look in r over some old letters she discovered her
parentage, and is now- on her w ay to Schell City
to see her father for the first time since her
babyhood.
A cask of rare interest to the Ohio medical
fraternity has developed at the Young town
city hospital. Samuel T Kraft, aged 25 years,
was operated upon for abscess of the urethra
Upon opening the canal the surgeons f* und
imbedded in tho walls a shawl pin over three
iuches long. Kraft says he had suffered from
the presence of the pin for over a year. By
reason of excessive inflammation his case is
one of the greatest interest in history, as the
pin must have worked its way to its dangerous
location.
A New Yorker who is a member of the
American Society of Psychical Research tells
a curious story that would interest his so
ciety, While in Mexico recently he dreamed
that in dressing his pistol dropped from his
pocket, fell butt downward to the floor, turned
so that it leaned against his ankle and exploded,
shattering his leg. The dream was so v.vid
that he awoke wiih a start and recalled the
whole scene. He was soon asleep again, how
ever, ami by morning he had nearly forgotten
his visiou. When he came to dress he found
himself standing as in his dream, and as he
drew on his trousers his heavy revolver fell
from the hip pocket, struck butt downward
upon the tiled floor, struck a sunken tile aud.
turning, leane 1 against his ankle with the muz
zle pointing directly at his leg. He watched
with a sort of fascination for the explosion,
but it did not come, and ho lives uuwounded to
tell the tale.
A characteristic story of Stephen Girard
was that he iuduced a Philadelphia boy to work
for him till he was 21 years old by promising to
give him a good start in life afterward. When
the time came the young man applied for the
promised reward. The eccentric old merchant
looked at him for a moment and then sail,
gruffly. “Go and learn a trade.” Considerably
cast uown, for he had expected a very different
start, the young man turned away; but after
some reflection, knowing something of th*-
other's peculiarities, ha decided to do as he had
been hidden and learned tne cooper's trade.
When he ha l mastered it, a year or so later, ho
presented himself aga n, and the old man gav*
him an order for two barrels. He made an
delivered them and Mr. Girard examine 1 and
f raised them. “Now,” i e said, “you nave a
capital that you cannot lose; for you cau nl
ways fall l ack on your trade if 3 011 meet wit>
adversity,” and then he advanced his protege a
considerable oapital with which to start iu
business.
A company of prosa.c, matter-of-fact En
gl sh capitalists, acting possibly on the strength
of the axiom that truth is stranger than fiction,
is starting au expedition to Africa to search for
Kin? Solomon's mines. They have bo u stirred
to this, as they readily admit, by certain ascer
tain** 1 facts in connection with R*der Hag
gard s romance. Although there have been
previous searches for the mines of Opbir from
which the servants of Hiram and King Solomon
brought much gold and precious stones, the
company fervently hopes, and firmly believes,
that the result of the expedition will be to prove
the axiom even in regard to Mr. Haggard's par
ticularly lurid brand of Action. William G.
Wyncoop, a raiuing expert of Colorado and
editor of Mininq Industry, has beeu engaged to
h ad the expedition to prospect for the mines.
He startod from Denver last week on his way
to London to complete arrangements, and ho
expects to be away three months or more
There is absolutely nothing but traditions and
legends to help in locating the mines of Ophir,
but following these shady guides the party will
strike in and from a point well down on the
eastern coast of the Dark Continent. A good
deal of money has been sunk in mining opera
tions in Africa, and this particular company is
not relying altogether on H iggard's tale, but
on the showing of previous ventures.
A gentleman who was down in the Indian
Territory a few weeks ago tells the following
rtory: “I became acquainted with a deputy
United States marshal, one Tom Jones, who
for quickness and nerve surpasses any man I
ever met. Ho has killed several men, but
always in fair and open fight or in the line of
duty. He is recognized as a game man in a
region where personal bravery is common
enough. Not long ago Jones set out to capture
a follow wanted for a violation or the
liqudrlaw. He hired a pair of hors sand
a 11 an to drive them. Night set in and
they were iu a wild part of the country,
with which the officer was unacquainted.
While they were driving along a rough
piece of road the horses took fright and
commenced running at full speed. It was
pitch dark. Tl 6 driver lost all control of the
brutes, and they plunged along at a headlong
gallop, not knowing but the uext moment they
would be dashed down a precipice. Suddenly
two shots rang out on the air, and almost
simultaneously both horses droppe 1 dead in
their tracks. It was a tiring few men would
have thought of, but with men or Jones’ type
the min 1 acts quickly in time of peril, and
actiori follows close on t.loug t. He saw the
only wav to stop tha& team and save his life,
re hans, was to use his Winchester. lie re
luted th* incident t me, an '.seemed to think it
was a vary common;) acd affair.”
An elegantly dressed woman lately entered a
Paris jeweler’s shop and asked to see some val
uable gold pins. While she was examining
them a man began playing a barrel organ be
fore the door, says the Paris Figaro.
The music seemed to annoy the laiv,
and stepping to the door she threw' a
pi ce of money to the man and told him
to go away, which he did at once. On return
ing to the counter she said that none of the pins
s nted her, but that, as some com pension for
the trouble she had given, she would buy a
brooch. She accordingly chose one. paid 10
franca for it, and was leaving the shop when
the jeweler missed a diamond pin of
great value from among those she
had been examining. Ho accord
ingly stopped his customer, who
seemed highly indignant, and insisted on
the jeweler’s wife searching her, which was
done, but no piu wan found. The jeweler sent
his sister to waten the woman, who eras soon
seen to enter another jeweler’s shop, and
was pretending to make a purchase when
the organ-grinder made his appearance.
As soon as he began playing she again
threw him some money and ordered him to
move on, but the person who was watching her
perceived that, with the m mey, she had given
man a piece of jewelry. This wan at once made
known to the police, who arrested both, and
found on tne man several articles of stolen
jewelry.
