Influonza seems to have taken a good
grip upon the royalties of Europe as well
as the eminent people of this oountry. Even
Furious Forakur has it. But the strain of

From the correspondence between
Speaker Crisp and Mr. Mills, whioh we
publish this morning, it looks as If Mr.
Mills would not be chairman of the ways
and means committee, and it seems to be
clear that Speaker Crisp is not seeking
advioe, in making up tho committees, from
those who think they ought to be consulted.
Toe speaker is showing a degree of inde
pendence that is rather surprising to some
of the party leaders.
Women are gradually getting their
"rights” and they oan take a day off and
think about the great advantages thus ac
quired. During the debate over a resolu
tion in tha labor convention iu Birmingham
tho other day a woman was given the lie
direct by a male delegate who apparently
did not approve of her way of stating her
position. When women fiually break into
politics and war and police duty they will
probably come in for many of these casual
little pleasantries. This speolmeu should
ouly encourage them to scuille for their
"righta."
Neglecting Their Opportunity.
The southern part of the alliaaoe never
had a belter opportunity to do the eottoa
producers a great anl lasting service than
the one that presents itself at this lima The
price of oottoo has declined unti; It does do*
afford the prodncers a profit. It Is ad
mitted by every fair-minded person that
the cause of the decline is overproduction.
The great markets of the world are choked
with cotton. The supply is greater than
the demand, U was greater than
the demand last year, and a large
amount was earned over to this year.
Notwithstanding the fact that more cotton
was produced last year than was needed,
there was no reduction of the
acreage this year. It is evident
that unless measures are taken to im
press the cotton producers with the folly of
producing so much cotton there will be no
reduction in the acreage next year. The
surplus stock will steadily increase, the
price will fall skill further and the cotton
producers will be overwhelmed with debts
and finally ruined.
lbs alliauoe should begin a vigorous
campaign of education. It has the organ
isation and the means to do this, it can
reach each cotton producer, and, if it
works earnestly and vigorously, can hardly
fail to convince him that prosperity depends
upon the production of less cotton and
more grain, fruits, vegetables and stock.
The allianoe has taken some steps to
create a sentiment in favor of reducing the
production of ootton, but what it bas done
has made very little or no impression. The
holding of conventions and passing resolu
tions are well enough, but something more
is needed. Let every allianoe lecturer be
instructed to present, as forcibly as he oan,
in all parts of his territory, the disastrous
consequences of producing an oversupply
of ootton. Let every suballlanoe hold
meetings and invite well-informed speakers
to addrees them on the necessity of reduc
ing the cotton aareage. Let the matter be
agitated just at a political question is. In
this way, perhaps, the cotton producers can
be induced to pursue a course that will
enable them to escape the ruin with wbiob
they are now threatened.
At present there is a widespread belief
among the ootton prodncers that specu
lators have brought about the present low
prloe of cotton. Some of their organs tell
them that suob is the case. They assert
that the speculators are forcing down the
prloe and buying the cotton with the view
of putting up the price when the crop is
all marketed, thus making vast fortunes.
Only recently the oharge was made that
speculators in New Orleans and New York
had oombtned to do this.
it must be apjiareut that there la not
much foundation for assertion and charges
of Uhls sort. Every ootton factor Is carry
ing a bigger load than he cares to and is
hoping for a better market. Every ootton
exporter is anxious for a rise in the price of
cotton because he oan do very little busi
ness when the market is dull and falling.
The feeling among all who have anything
to do with the handling of cotton is in favor
of a high prloe and a booming market, but
nothing can be done to improve the situa
tion In the faoe at Che heavy reoeipt*.
The speculators are not responsible for
the present low price at ootton. The ootton
producers are. the have overloaded the
market, and they wUI overload it next sea
son If vigorous steps ere not taken to con
vince them of the folly of doing so. This Is
the alliance opportunity to render the south
a service of incalculable value. Let it con
vince the cotton producers of the necessity
for reduoing the cotton aoroage.
Progress of Street Improvements.
It looks as if considerable progress In
street paving would be made during the
ooming year. The prospect iB that East
and West Broad streets will be paved with
graywacke and that the paring of Bull
street to ths park with asphalt will be com
pleted. In addition to this paving several
of the streets will be improved with shells.
Mr. Harmon, the chairman of the oam
mlttee on streets and lanes, bos received
permission to shell Jefferson street from
Charlton street, where the graywaoko
pavement ends, to Henry street. That will
be an improvement that will be very gen
erally appreciated. But the improvement
Of Jefferson street should be continued to
Twelfth street. Cannot Mr. Harmon get
tho consent of the council to continue the
improvement as far as Twelfth street? If
he makes the effort and succeeds he will in
crease bis reputation as a progressive publio
official.
The main reason for urging the shelling
of Jefferson street to Twelfth street is that
it the improvement stopped at Henry street
muoh of the benefit derived from it would
be lost. The section from Henry street to
Twelfth street will still be a thoroughfare
of heavy sand.
The Morniwo News has steadily urged
the paving of the streets. The people will
not grumble at expenditures for street im
provements. They know that paved streets
not only add to the attractivones of the city,
but they contribute to its growth and pros
perity. Money spent upon the streets is a
good investment.
When the paving that is now contem
plated is completed Savannah will have
quite a number of miles of paved and shelled
streets, and will have made an excellent
start toward becoming a paved city. Dur
ing the ooming year a great deal of atten
tion should be given to opeuing streets.
East Broad and Jefferson streets should be
opened throughout their entire length at an
early a day as possible. By opeaing these
and other streets the city will enoourage
building and in other ways increase the
city’s prosperity.
Dynamiters act as If they were determined
to blow up Boston or “bust.” But why
they should go so far as to dynamite a junk
dealer is rather bard to understand.
Now the poor man is so scared
by a newly acquired bomb that he
has looked the ominously ugly thing
in bis shop and even tho police
are afraid to open the door to look iuside
the shop. About the only ohaucs the junk
ist has Is the poalbility that some hapless
burglar may happen along and break in—
and then witnees the greatest breaking out
that he ever got mixed up in. Meanwhile
the junkist is as completely out of a job as if
ho had lost his stook by fire. Iu fact he
would probably like just such a chance.
But ho doesn’t care to get fired himself.
That’s the mournful part of it. Shrewdness
suggests that he should give some crafty
and eager burglar a 1 ‘straight tip”—and then
stand a few miles off aud see where his shoes
hit.
Just to imagine France going to war with
little Bulgaria is positively ridiculous. Why

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1891—SIXTEEN PAGES.
Justice Not Essentially Jealousy.
Because a North Carolina man shot a
presumptuous minister who bad kisaed his
wife some of the lepers state in their head
lines over the dispatch that the snooting
was the “result of jealousy." That is ao
assumption without a warrant Such a con
clusion does not essentially fallow in the
case cited by any means. Yet the immedi
ate presumption of jealousy is very common
in such cases.
But in this instance there was no appar
ent reason for jealousy. It was simply a
rather intemperately violent way of rreent
ing what the man manifestly regarded as
intolerable effrontery on the part of the
minister. It is a species of effrontery to
whioh some ministers are greatly addicted.
Yet there is no more apparent reason why a
minister should take such a presumptuous
liberty with another man’s wife than should
his family lawyer or doctor—or his milkman
for that matter. Nor does a very positive
objection to it essentially imply jeal
ousy any more than a desire on the part of
husband or father to protect his wife or
daughter from any other kind of indignity
would imply jealousy.
Men who are far above that somewhat
vulgar trait are the very ones who are least
likely to fancy Boeing womanhood under
their protection subjected to the prostitu.
tion of general public caressing with the
freedom of a town pump. That righteous
impulse which prompts any self-respecting
man to resent such impudent familiarities
toward his family is no more jealousy than
would be the natural inclination to slap the
faoe of another who should presume to put
on his garments or drink out of his glass.
When there is rivalry then there is fre
quently jealousy. But there was no indi
cation of It in the case cited. It was simpiy
an iinpertinenoe resented and rather se
verely punished.
J ust why a minister should assume that
he is free to take liberties that are prohi
bited to general intercourse by the usages
of respentable society Is not clearly appar
ent. It manifests a degree of vain effront
ery that is really amazing and deserves to
be considerably modified.
Frequently suoh familiarities are imposed
upon timid women who submit merely
through dread of unpleasant consequencae
that might follow repelling them. Many
devout women are also thus imposed upon
through their piety. Such conduct deserves
punishment.
Of oourse there are hysterically emotional
women who actually encourage suoh un
seemly improprieties just the tame as there
are women who enoourage amorous over
tures from any living mortal in breeches.
But they don’t oouat in any legitimate cal
culation upon healthy human impulse or
sentiment. Along with the iuebriates and
brutal or pretornaturally acquisitive men
they merely go to make up the abnormal
monstrosities of human nature.
Creed of the Bighblnding Chinese.
In the latest number of a San Francisco
magazine called the Californian,, the Rov.
Dr. Masters, superintendent of the San
Francisco Methodist missions, publishes an
elaborate description of the Chinese high
binders. In It he gives the first translation
ever made of a manual recently found by
the police of the Paolfio metropolis in a
local highbindery.
Besides instructions for the initiation of
neophytes and the seoret signs and pass
words, this manual also gives the history of
the Kalao-Hui and the Triad Society as
well as setting forth the punishments to be
inflicted upon members who may disobey
instructions.
Though the Tartar invaders overran and
subjugated China several centuries ago the
Triad Society binds its members by a solemn
oath never to rest content until the bitterly
hated Mauchu dynasty shall be overthrown.
In this country the society Is called the
Chee-Kung-Tong, and it has subordinate
lodges or organizations in every large
American city.
Among the ceremonies of initiation the
most striking features described are those
which follow after the neophyte bows before
the grand master and subsoi.-bes to the
regulations. Then be reoeives a oup of
wine into whioh has dripped one drop of
blood from the finger of each candidate.
When all present drtak of this wins the ini
tiated members are supposed to be thus ad
mitted to full Mood relationship with every
member of the order. Thenceforth the novi
tiate renounces all allegiance to the emperor.
Thereafter the society has a claim upon him
even before his parents.
Ibis is the prinolpal reason why the
society is so bitterly hated in China. Filial
piety is there considered the first and most
sacred of duties.
Every member Is bound by a terrible oath
never to reveal any secrets of the society.
So elaborate is the symbolism that by means
of a variety of signs the highbinders may
hold free communication with one another
in the presence of strangers. It is their skill
in the use of these passwords that has dis
seminated the impression in some parts of
this country that the Chee-Kung-Tong is a
species of Freemasonry. This vague and
unfounded assumption has been of incalcul
able advantage to the Chocs by lending
them a prestige of respectability that Dr.
Masters deolarcs they do not deserve.
But they appear to be very like the ma
jority of vociferously fervid exiled patriots
in that they seem to grow really fierce and
dangerous only after they get several thou
sand miles away from the land that they
intend some time to work over and regulate
to suit their own fancy. When we come
down to actualities the majority of these
frenzied fettered freemen, if allowed to
have their own way, would remorselessly
kill off everybody who didn’t quite agree
with them.
Little surprise is expressed in Denver that
Mre. Barnaby should have died after drink
ing the whisky so mysteriously sent her.
Local experts say that it was vile stuff.
Apparently they think that Dr. Graves
ought to be hanged forgiving away suoh
abominable “pizen" whether he tam
pered with it or not. Bad whisky is not so
pleasantly received in the far west when
the natives once discover its actual quality.
But to be evidently inferior to the judges
of that locality it must be vile indeed.
When tho doctor is finally hanged he will
probably swing off without really knowing
whether lie is paying the penalty of a
destroyer of human life or a poor judge of
whisky.
Whether young Mrs. James G. Blaine is
simply hysterical or really suffers all of the
peculiar and systematic annoyances at the
hands of her husband that she is oonstantly
complaining of is pretty hard to definitely
decide. But she certainly manages to keep
herself before the public gaze with a perti
nacity that her rather yily and unwilling
father-in-law never greatly surpassed.
Notoriety seems to be absolutely essential to
same natures,

The President’s warm recommendation of the

who left him lying outside the breastworks. If
congress should act upon the advice of the

Republican Consolation Rubbish.
From the Omaha Bee (Rep.),
Speaker Crisp represents the conservative ele

is not to be doubted that this will appear when
be makes up the committee on ways and means
btill another meaning of the result that tha sil
ver question will not be ignored or allowed to
take a seoondary position. Mr. Crisp did not
rerer to the subject in bis cauoue speech, but
his positloa is not In doubt He Is In favor of
the free and unlimited coinage of silver, and It Is
unquestionable that his victory is dus in part to
this fact. He may lie enpretsd to constitute
the coinage committee with reference to bring
ing in a measure for the free coinage of silver
and such a bill in the House will pass. The
election of Mr Crisp teems, then, likely to ma
terially strengthen tho eisment opposed to Mr.
Cleveland, to assure efforts for a reform of the
tariff on conservative lines, and to promise that
the Democratic party, by the avtion of its rep
resentatives in congress, will be committed to
the free coinage of silver and forced to deolare
for that policy in iu next national platform.

had no feeling iu the matter, but he—l don’t Be
how a man can so far forget himself as he did."
"What did he do!"
"Why, he made some statements In the argu
ment that I couldn’t agree to, and 1 told him
that far be it from me to descend to personal
ities or to say anything that way ungentleinanly
—understand, I explained to him that I had no
desire to give offense, but that his last state
ment was a dash blanked lie and that no gentle
man would say such a thing. ’’ -
"And be hit you!”
"No. not then; but he didn’t take It right. He
showed that he had no breeding at all. He said
that he knew how to treat a gentleman when he
met one, and under no circumstances would in
tentionally give one offense; that he didn’t In
tend it to be taken as a personal matter at all,
but that I was an inspired idiot aud au infernal
liar."
“And then you hit him!"
"No, not then. But of course I couldn't
stand that. It was an insult and nothing else,
and I told him plainly that he was a scoundrelly
blackguard and all that sort of thing."
“And then he did hit you!”
"Yes, then he did. Funny, isn’t It, that a
man oen’t act like a gentleman in a q uiet argu
ment and take geutiemanly remarks in a gen
tlemanly way!"
Hushed Out of tho Drummer’s Room.
The commercial room of English hotels la
devoted to that speoies of business man whom
we designate as “drummer” and who In Amer
ica fares with the other guests, says Youth's
Companion.
John Poole, an English humorist of bygone
days, onoe strolled into a hotel at Brighton and
ordered dinner. As he was discussing his
savory chop another man entered, took his
stand by the fire and began whistling. Finally
he spoke:
“fin* Jay, sir," said he.
•’Very fine,” answered Poole.
"Business prettv brisk!"
"1 believe so."
‘Do anything with Jones on the parade!"
Now it so happened that Jon *s was the gro
cer from whom Poole occasionally bought a
quarter of a pound of tea. aud so he answered
"A little."
"Good man, sir."
"Glad to hear K. sir,"
“No w ‘ ttl Thompson In King street!"
"Shaky, sir."
“Sorry to hear it, sir. Recommend acoure
of salt baths."
The stranger looked earnestly at Poole, ad
vancad to tho table aod said, arms akimbo:
“Sir, I begin to think you are a gentleman.”
’I hope so, sir," answered Poole; "and I hoDe
you are the same."
"Nothing of the kind!" exclaimed the
stranger “And if you area gentleman what
business have you here!"
He rang the bell, and when the waiter en
tered exclaimed Indignantly;
"Here's a gentleman. Turn him out!”
Poole had unwittingly settled himself In the
commercial room of the hotel.
Had No Soft Spots About Him.
Three large crates stood in front of a Dear
born street establishment, in Chicago, yester
day afternoon, and in them, respectively, were
a buck deer and two does with two fawns each
Everybody that passed stopped to look, and
many put their hands inside to stroke the
smooth coats.
About 4 o'clock a crowd was standing there
admiring them, when a little girl with an apple
in her hand approached one of the does. The
animal stuck its nose through a crack implor
ingly, aud the child generously held out the
fruit until even the core had disappeared At
this juncture a small bootblaok, munching a
big, yellow carrot, came up. The doe felt as if
she wanted some oarrot, too, and she said so
Just as plainly as a doe could say It.
But the boy was imperturbable. He had prob
ably never seen a deer in his life, but he had
seen so much of other things that the crack of
doom wouldn't have startled him.
Still, the hungry animal, with pleading brown
eyes, watched him. It was too much for tho
little girl.
"O, Doy,"ehe called, “give her a piece, won’t
you!"
lbe bootblaok stopped munching, while he
regarded her with an all-over si are that was in
describable. He spoke at last.
“Divy up wki de goat! ’he queried; “I guess
he an't got no pull on mo. Car’ots is away up
and I an't no park commissioner,” and ho drifted
away up the street along with the man who had
wished for a gun.
Morrissey’s Proudest Moment.
"Few people know,” said John K. Rickey of
Missouri to the San Francisco Call at the Pal
ace. "that John Morrissey was a man in whom
the finer feelings were verv largely developed.
He felt keenly the reproaches which were heaped
upon him beoauee of bis having been a
gambler and a prize fighter, and he told me
that when he was elected to congress from
New York city he made np bis mind to show
to the world that he oould rise above
his antecedents. When he took bis
scat in the ohamber of the House
ef Representatives he felt that
he was looked upon coldly
by his asseeiates or the floor, but instead of at
tempting to resent it he maintained a discreet
silence and paid not the slightest heed to what
was foleg on about him. On the second day of
the session, be Informed me, a tali, stately old
gentleman walked up to hts desk, and, extond
iug his hand, asked: ‘ls this Mr. Morrissey!’
" ‘lt is,’ was the response.
“ Then 1 must congratulate you, sir, upon
your eleotiou, and lAm proud to welcome you
here.'
" ’That old man,’ said Morrissey, in a broken
voice, ‘was the famous Thad Stevens, and that
meeting was the proudest moment of my life.’ ’’
“Sorter" Deceptiye Sign.
Just where he came from didn’t appear, but
bis raiment might be taken as a token that he
was from the backwoods of a county pretty
well back, says the Detroit ree Press, and as
he went into a family grocery on Jefferson
avenue ho attracted sufficient attention for the
boss to come forward to see what he wanted.
"Got any corn whisky!" he asked.
“We don't keep it,” replied the proprietor
“Ner rye!"
"No."
“Ner applejack!"
“No. - ’
"Ner old peach!"
"No."
"Ner moonshine!"
“No ”
“Nothin’ in that line at all!"
"No.”
•‘Well, by gravy,” he said angrily, as he
started out. "what the dickens have you got
that sign up thar, ‘Families supplied with all
the necessaries of life,’ for! Duru me of we
can’t do better’n tbat at the cross roads
grocery."
Winter Romance.
From the Somerville Journal.
i.
Tho click of tho steel as tho skaters speed
O’er the glistening ice ia tho sharp, cold air.
The changing groups In the merry throng.
The gladness and brightness everywhere
Would thrill the blood of the coldest churl.
And make his life for the time seem dear
This winter’s day, when the ice reflects
A sky surpassingly blue and clear.
ii.
But happiest far of them all am I,
Aside from the crowd, at'my lady’s feet,
Fitting her skates with a tender care
That makes It long ere my task's complete.
Each dainty foot in its turn is shod
In a lingering way with its bright steel shoe.
While I kneel as a worshiper, bending low—
And I'm mighty sorry when I get through.

Bemoaning.
A retail grocer was bemoan
ing his failure to get along
prosperously in business, and
seemed to think it was not
his fault. The gentleman to
whom he was talking was an
ex-grocer who had retired
with a snug fortune made
out of the business. The ex
grocer, in order to illustrate
one of the reasons why a bet
ter trade was lacking, called
for a bottle of Dr. Price’s
Flavoring Extract of Vanilla,
“I do not keep it.” said the
grocer, “but I have an extract
just as good which I can sell
at a less prica” Here was a
convincing proof that there
were very good reasons why
trade was poor. The ex-gro
cer says, “1 was successful
because I kept the best and
finest goods and sold them
at a fair profit. Poor goods,
no matter at what price sold,
will help to make your trade
dwindle. The acquisition or
lossxtf trade goes on silently
and steadily in proportion as
the grocer sells goods that
' please those who patronize
him. I always sold Dr.
Price’s Flavoring Extracts,
as my customers did not
want cheapness at the ex
pense of quality.”

Nathakiel Morton, secretary of Plymouth
colony. Is authority for the statement that
Staudisli was burieu In Duxbnry, which accords
with Standish’s will, in which he asked to be
buried near ills daughter and daughter in-law
"if he died in Duxburrow.” Traditions of half
a dozen families of the town, handed down
from sire to son, looate the grave in the old
churchyard, between Hall’s and Bayley’s cor
ners, and this graveyard, in one corner of
which Blood the first church iu Duxbury, is the
only one mentioned In tbo early records. These
traditions were to the effect, furthermore,
that two triangular stones marked
(he spot where 8 tan dish was buried.
In 1889 stones answering their descrip
tion were brought to light, and in||Aprll,
1891, duly authorized persons opened the sup
posed graves of the Blandish family and exam
ined the remains found therein. Two of the
skeletons were thoee of young women, says tho
Boston Otobr, two were boys and one was that
of a man, corresponding with the generally ac
cepted physique of Standisb, indicating very
unusual strength and evidently that of a person
well along in years From all the facts known
the speaker, who was one of those present at
the exhumation,deduced the inference that theae
were iu toe graves of Blandish, his two daugh
ters— 1. e„ his daughter and daughter-in-law—
and two sons, named Charles and John, who
died young. The remains, said Mr. Hingtnn,
were carefully placed in new caskets and re
burled in the old graveyard.
Bums beautiful reproduction* of leave*,
ferns, etc., have been recently made by a
simple printing process which involve* the use
of neither camera nor plates, says the Chicago
/Vers. A printing frame of suitable sire Is pro
vided with a piece of plain glass in place of the
negative ordinarily required. The frame having
b-en placed faoa down, and the back taken
put and glass placed in position, the green
leaves, ferns (which may be of any variety If
not too opaque), aro arranged tastefully on the
glass, care being take* that they do not over
lap each other. A sheet qf silvered or ferro
prusaiats paper is now laid carefully over the
leaves, and, the back having been replaced, the
frame la carried into the sunlight and printed
In the case of ferro-prusslatu paper from ten to
twenty minutes; in the case of silvered
paper from one-half to two-thirds that tune
The results when the prints have been
wahed or toned and lived are surprising the
delicate tracings of the fibres of the leaf to
gether with its general form, being faithfully
reproduced. As the printing frame cannot
wadi be opened during printing without danger
of the leaves slippling about, the duration of
the printing must be determined by timing.
There is hardly a choice between the ‘•blue'"
and silvered paper for this kind of work, both
giving good results. A shset of glass clamped
down on a board oa which has bee* placed five
or teu sheets of paper as a cushion will answer
very well in place of a printing frame. Those
who prepare their own ferro nrussiate paper
should keep the solution? of red prusslate of
potash and ammonia combine hi small quantity
sufficient to coat the paper requivsd for the day
from time to time The rewits are much bet
ter than when the solutions are mixed and kept
for any length of time and the prints much
quicker.
