Purpose of the Republicans.
It is c'early the purpose of the republicans
to make the silver question an issue in the
presidential canqktigo. In the House, Mon
day, they voted with those of the democrats
who favor passing a free coinage bill at this
session of congress for the resolution mak
ing the Bland bill a special order for a
sp -i.'led period. Some of them said they
v .tel as they did in order to gat the silver
question out of the way, but Mr. Heed, the
leader of the republicans, said it was their
ii poss to make the silver question a lead
ing o a in the approaching presidential con
t ■ -and to put the democrats In the posi
ii >:. of favoring the free ooir.age of silver.
He knows, and so does every other repub
lican congressman, that it the Bland bill
should reach the President he would veto it,
thui making it clear that the Republican
party is against the free coinage of silver.
The republicans know that it will not hurt
their party muoh in the west to oppose free
silver coinage, and that it will do it an im
mense amount of good in the doubtful
states of tbs east. In the campaign io Ohio
last fall, Uaj. McKinley, the republican
oandidate for governor, was out
spoken in condemnation of the
free coinage of silver, and the
platform upon which be made bis can
vass contained a provision against it. He
carried the state by mors than 20,000 ma
jority, although the democrats had oarried
the state at the previous gubernatorial
election. This was pretty satisfactory evi
dence that the demand for free silver coin
age la the west is not nearly so great as tbe
silver men would have the oountry believe.
But if the democrats have nothing to gain
in the west, where is the wisdom of tbe
policy of committing their party to the free
coinage of silver! They would be in no
danger of losing any of the southern states
by failing to pass tbe Bland bill at this ses
sion, but if they should paws that bill they
would be pretty certain to lose New York
and Connecticut. In their platform,
adopted Feb. 22, the New York democrats
took a position against tbe free coinage of
silver. They know very well that
tbe Democrat!o party cannot oarry that
state If it is put in tbe position of favoring
tbe free coinage of silver. Tbe course dem
ocratic congressmen are following, there
fore, with respect to silver can hardly be
regarded as wise.
The suggestion was thrown out in tbe
debate on the silver resolution In tbe House
Monday that the purpose of the demo
crats In favoring silver legislation at this
session is to save a few congressional dis
tricts iD the south and west. In other
words, the success of the Democratic party
in tbe presidential contest b to be made
doubtful in order that the chances of a
number of demooratlo congressmen for re
eleotion may be increased. It doea not aeem
possible that this explanation of tbe oougse
of the majority of the House relative to
silver is the true one, bat it U the only one
that has been offered.
Tbe republicans undoubtedly believe that
the passage of tbe Bland bill by the House
would give them all tbe doubtful eastern
states, and would not cause them to lose
any one of the western states that they car
ried at tbe last national election. There
fore they are doing all they can to have the
House pass the bill. They know there la no
probability of the bill beoomlng a law. If
the Senate should pass it, and there It very
little probability that it would, the Presi
dent would not permit it to become a law.
A Very Free Talker.
Mr. Foster, the Secretary of tbe Treasury
roust have a very poor opinion of the in
telligence of the English reporter, or else he
is expressing his seutlmeuts in London
much more freely than he does In Washing
ton. In an interview on tnesubjeot of im
migration to this country, published in a
liondon paper, he is reported to have said,
among other things that America assimi
lates all who come to her shores, even "the
clam-mouthed Irishman, with his wife and
children, ail in the rough.” He further
said that America changes tbe Irishman "in
every physical appearance to rank with our
best citizens, lead our municipalities, and,
in a single generation, become one witb the
best American type.”
Perhaps at the next eleotion Becretary
Foster will wish he himself had been
more of a clam. His Irish fellow
citizens, particularly those who are
supporters of the Republican party,
will resent the contemptuous way in
wbioh he Bpoke of the Irish immigrants.
Tbe diplomatic Blaine would never have
been guilty of making such a mistake.
Asa matter of fact, the Irish are among
the best immigrants that come to this coun
try. It is true they are too much inclined
to stay in the cities, but they are pushing
and energetic aud manage to get ahead in
the world. They are much more desirable
than immigrants of some other nationali
ties.
Probably tho secretory was not so
anxious in bis interview to be correct in his
statements as be was to attract attention.
If that was his object be was successful, be
cause tho entire Irisb-American population
of this country will hear that he called
Irish immigrants "clam-mouthed,’’ aud
when thp opportunity comes they will make
him ondsfstand that they have good mem
ories, ,V' ;
A man'tiaroed Newberry, who is at pres
ent carrying out a contract with Chicago
by representing her in congress, has intro
duced a MB asking an appropriation of 150,-
000 to reform the method of spelling. W ben
the system of spelling has been reformed
some of the words will look like this: “The
old eistems. A sin ov the dan (A sign of the
dawn). Publik opinyun. Farwel old spolin
book. G&li the trubadar tuobt hiz gitar.
Farin langwejez (foreign languages).” But
as bad as this is, the monetary system would
look a good deal worse were it to be "re
formed” according to some of the formulas
recently advocated before the people.
Memphis would like to have Mr. Depew
make a speech and open the big bridge that
spans the Mississippi river at that city.
This, along with Mr. Depow's reputation,
suggests that it would be a good idea to con.
stitute him a national functionary, to lay
corner-stones and things for all America as
the Prince of Wales does for England.
Edwards Pierrepont, who was minister to
England under President Grant, and who

Grant as Attorney General beforo he ac
cepted the mission to England.

against Perry cannot be more tbau assault
with a deadly weapon with intent to kill.
THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9, 1892.
What Tybee Needs.
Tybee needs another hotel—and a large
one. It ought to be constructed on a plan
altogether different from that of Hotel
Tybee. The purpose of it ought to be to
accommodate excursion parties as well as
permanent guests. It ought to have
accommodations for small parties that go
to the island for a day or for a few hours in
the afternoon or evening. The Ocean
house undertook to meet the wants of par
ties of this kind, but it had not the neces
sary accommodations. It was built at a
time when the demands upon Tybee were
not nearly so great as they are now, and
when the island's patrons were satisfied with
fewer comforts.
The Ooean bouse is gone and also the
buildings that were near it Either on the
Ocean bouse site, or somewhere near It,
there ought to be built a large hotel of the
kind indicated. Such a hotel would pay
handsomely, particularly if the island were
well advertised and the railroads took
enough interest in it to make excursions a
feature of their summer business.
The building up of Tybee would bo bene
ficial to Savannah because it would bring
many summer visitor*. Last summer hun
dreds of people from the interior who vis
ited Tybee spent a day and often two days
in this city.
The movement for another hotel at Ty
boe ought to be started at once,
so that the hotel would be
finished by the opening of tbe season.
A large, rather than a fine, hotel is needed.
The aim should be to construct a house that
would be attractive because of its comforts
and modern accommodations rather than
for a handsome exterior and interior, and
it is certain if there were two good hotels
each would pay better than one.
Product of a Bad System.
The Hebrew beggar Mesraohki, who shot
Rabbi Henry P. Mendes, in New York, Sat
urday night, appears to be the product of a
bad system of almsgiving. He it described
as an Insolent fellow who has been living at
tbe expense of the rabbis and their congre
gations for six or seven years. At first it
was supposed that ha was crazy, but those
who are well acquainted with him say that
he is entirely sane. He is simply lazy and
vicious. He has been supported so long
that he has begun to think that the Israel
ites of New York are bound to provide for
his wants. And the rabbis and wealthy
Hebrews have submitted to his demands
upon their purses simply beoause be is an
Israelite. They did not want him to suffer
while they had plenty and oould afford to
assist him.
Dr. Meades, whom he shot, had given
him money a great many times, and had
finally become tired of helping a man who
would not try to help himself. He told him
on the night of the shooting that he had
done all he oould for him, but afterward
relented and gave him money sufficient to
meat bis immediate wants. He insisted
upon having SIOO, and because his demand
was not complied with tbe ungrateful
wretoh tried to kill the man who had been
his benefactor for so many years.
In every oommuntty there are many poor
people who are deserving of assistance, and
it often happons that those who are the most
deserving are the ones who receive the
least, because they are not persistent and
aggressive. The giving of alms, however,
without inquiring Into the merits of the ap
plications for assistance, produces a class of
insolent beggars who are very muoh like
this beggar Mesrachki. They will
not work as long as they can
avoid doing so, and when their
requests for assistance are denied they want
to injure those who, having helped them,
refuse to help them any more. They ore
more to be feared than cranks, because they
are revengeful and will miss no opportunity
to do an injury to the man who has been
their best friend if he does not comply with
their demands.
Senator Hill told a reporter for the New
York Herald Sunday that he “had not
made up bis mind whether he would make
a southern trip at all,” and appeared very
indifferent about the whole matter. After
making engagements with a state legisla
ture and several southern cities, Savannah
among them, this kind of talk from Senator
Hill sounds very queer, and is not exactly
tho thing to make his friends in this section
any more enthusiastic In booming his can
didacy. The Herald reporter wrote up the
interview In a manner that leaves the im
pression that Senator Hill is piqued because
he has beard that CoL 4 ‘Dan” Lamont was
well received in the sonth, and that Smith
M. Weed, one bf his bitter opponents, is
doing some "good work’’ against him during
an extended southern tour-that he Is now
making.
The London Times has discovered anothor

Rabbi Mendes, who was shot by a beggar
in New York tho other day, is noted for
his work for charity, and had only a short
time before tho attack preached a sermon
on practical help for the poor. It will
gratify his numerous friends is this city t-o
know that the rabbi is not dangerously
hurt.
Ac old darky in Virginia is firmly con
vinced that President Harrison has been

carriage and his party will be tbe corpse.

He Thought Her an Exception.
"So, Miss Yardstique, you will not marry
me?"
The beautiful young ribbon clerk shook her
head defiantly.
"No. sir, I will not," and her pretty foot came
down Imperiously.
Mr. Bullionaire's face was a study, says the
Detroit Free Press. There was in it rage, dis
appointment, despair, and with them a touch
of admiration for tnis young woman.
"And you refuse me absolutely? You cast
aside my millions, my almost regal home, my
horses, carriages, and the diamonds, ant gold,
and jewels I would lavish upon you—you. a poor
clerk at $8 a week?”
"1 do, most emphatically, Mr. BulUonaire, be
cause I do not love you and I do love another."
"Bah, Miss Yardstique. He is only a floor
walker at sl,oooa year,"
"I know that we love each other, and I must
refuse your offer. ’’
‘ Absolutelyand Irrevocably?”
"Exactly, Mr. BulUonaire.’’
The rich mans hopes fell, and there was a
choking sensation In his throat, but with an
effort he recovered himself.
"May I ask you odo mor • question, Miss Yard
stique?’’ he asked in a changed voio -.
"Certainly, sir, if it is not upon the previous
subject."
"It Is not."
“Then ask it.”
"Will you accept an offer from me of SI,OOO a
woek and all expenses fortwenty weeks to go on
exhibition in the leading social and commercial
centers of the United states?"
Then He Dropped the Subject.
"Ten thousand dollars for a dog!" he ex
claimed as he looked up from his newspaper,
says the Chicago Tribunt. “Do you believe any
one ever paid any such price. Maria?"
"I’m sure I don’t know, James," she returned,
without stopping her needlework even for a
moment. "Does the paper say that much was
paid?"
“Yes, there's an article on valuable dogs, and
it speaks of one that was sold for SIO,OOO I don’t
believe it.”
"It may be true, James.” she said, quietly.
“Some or these blooded animals bring faucy
prices, and there's no particular reason why the
paper should lie about it. ”
"I know that. Maria, but just think of it—just
try to grasp the magnitude of that sum la your
week, feminine mind. You don't seem to realize
it. Ten thousand dollars for a dog: Why,
Marla! that’s more than I am worth!"
"I know It James, but some are worth more
than others.”
She went camly on with her sewing, while he
fumed and sputtered for a moment and then
dropped the subject, especially the weak ferni-
Inine part of it.
Devotion of a Wife.
A melancholy looking woman, with a painful
expression about tne corners of her mouth, ap
plied to a New York lawyer for a divorce, says
Texas Sifting s. "What are your grounds for a
divorce?” “My husband gets drunk all the
time. It Is dreadful fora sooer, hard-working
woman like myself to have a drunken hus
band.” “I suppose you have witnesses who
know he drinks to excess?" "Witnesses? Weil,
I should say go. 1 can prove his drunkenness
by myself." "Of course you nave frequently
seen him In an intoxicated condition?” “Why,
I have to go to the saloon ail day long, bringing
him one growler full of beer after another.
Some days I bring a dozen gallons ” “Good
heavens! Does he drink that much beer? No
wonder you want a divoroe.” The woman,
looking around to see that nobody was listen
ing, raid in a confldential whisper: "He don't
get all of lb You see, 1 drink about two-thirds
of the beer before I give it to him. and then I
fill it up with water If it wasn't for that I
couldn't live with him another day."
The Red, Red West.
Eugene Held in the Chicago News.
I’ve traveled in heaps of countries and studied
all kinds of art
Till there isn’t a critic or connoisseur who's
properly deemed so smart,
And I'm free to tay that tne grand results of
my explorations show
That somehow paint gets redder the farther
west I go!
I’ve sipped the voluptuous sherbet that the Ori
entals serve.
And I’ve felt the glow of red Bordeaux tingling
each separate nerve;
I’ve sampled your classic Masslo under an arbor
AnX reeked with song a whole night long
over a brown poteen.
The stalwart brew of the land o’ cakes, the
schnapps of the frugal Dutch,
Tbe u.uob.pratoed wins of the distant Rhine,
and the beer praised overmuch.
The ale of dear old London and the port of
southern climes—
All. ad flu., have I taken in a hundred thousand
times.
Yet, as I afore-mentioned, these other charms
are naught
Compared with the par amount gorgeousness
withjwhioh the west is fraught;
For art and nature are just the same In the land
where the porker grows.
And the paint keeps getting redder the farther
out west one goes.
Our savants have never discovered the reason
why this is so,
And 90 per cent, of the laymen care less than
the savants know—
It answers every purpose that this is manifest:
The paint keeps getting redder the farther you
go out west!
Give me no home ’neath the pale pink dome of
European skies—
No cot for me by tbe salmon sea that far to the
southward lies;
But away out west I would build my nest on
top ot a carmine hill.

“ Decensus Averni Facile Bet.”
A few days ago a Washington Post reporter
overheard two sons of sunny Italy comparing
business notes. One ot them was a dispenser
of fruits and candies, and the other sells bronze
stauettes—ln plaster of Paris—of different char
acters from Biblical history. They met on the
avenue, and the following dialogue ensuad:
"How blzzy wid ye?" says the statuette
seller to tbe fruit dealer.
"Oh, blzzy no good; I sell no apple, no or
ange, no benan, no nothing."
"You say bizzy no good," said the other. You

statuettes in my basket on my head. I step on

And the man who had looked on his statuettes
from a business standpoint only went on his
way lamenting tbe accident.

FLAVORING EXTRACTS.
Grown
Rapidly.
Dr. Price’s Delicious Flavor
ing Extracts, Vanilla, Lemon,
Orange, Nectarine, etc., have
grown rapidly in popular
favor, as it is known that
they are produced by extrac
tion from the fruit, not made
up with chemical poisons.
They are natural flavors,
obtained by anew process,
which gives the most deli
cate and grateful taste. Dr.
Price’s Flavorings can be
conscientiously commended
as being just as represented,
perfection in every possible
respect. One trial will prove
that their excellence is un
equalled.

The practice of medicine in Turkey was
formerly subjected to conditions of responsi
bility. wh'ch, if exacted in the western hemis
phere, might considerably decrease the nuin"
her of medical practitioners. When the ignor
ance of a physician caused the death of a pa
tient,he was condemned to bear at the’neck two
boards in the shape of a collar with bells around.
Thus attired be was marched through toe
principal streets, the bells proclaiming his
ignorance and warning the people against him.
Asa person's death Is generally dus to ignor

large degree of enthusiasm for the art of heal

Four adventurous persons, three men and one
woman, will leave Seattle about the middle of
March for New York with no other means of
conveyance than a wheelbarrow. They are J.
F. Cheatham, John Howard, E. W. Canton and
Miss Ix>u Howard. The men will take turn
about pushing the wheelbarrow, and only when
the woman gives out rrom exhaustion will she
be allowed to ride. Only in case of sickness will
stops of a longer duration than twelve hours be
made until Chicago is reached, where it is in
tended to remain for three days and then push
on for New York. It Is the intention of the
quartet to cover the distance between Seattle
and New York in five months.
A han had been badly lacerated In the leg by
broken glass, says the Youth'e Companion.
The wounds healed under treatment, but a
somewhat uncomfortable feeling remained, and
in walking the man was unable to bring his
foot squarely to the ground. About three
years later an increase in this uncomfortable
feeling, together with a stiffness and pnin in
the knee joint, led him to enter a hospital,
where a deep incision In the neighborhood of
the old scar revealed a fragment of window
glass 1 inch wide and 2 inches long. A sharp
corner projected into the cavity of the thi.-h
joint. Three smaller fragments were found
imbedded deeper in the tissu-s. In each case
ihe fragment was surrounded by a mass of
tough tissue, which acted like the protective
sac around the imbedded ball. A lady,
while eating a piece of pie, fell into a terrible
fit of coughing. A physician could
And no cause for the trouble, and thought that
whatever foreign substance had produced It had
beon swallowed; but the patient insisted that
there was still some obstruction which not only
choked her. but impaired her power of speech.
For six weeks she remained nearly speechless
and under constant treatment. After that time
she slightly improved in health and voice, but
without permanent relief. At length, nearly
two years after the accident Dr Ransom of
New York was consulted, aul romoved a piece
of glass from the larynx, hanging between the
vocal cords. it was triangular in shape, and
measured on its three edges seveu eighths of
an inch, 1 inch, IJ4 inches respectively. The
woman's voice at once improved and the irrita
tion mainly disappeared, though a slight swell
ing remained.
Where lichen-covered tree-stems are com
mon, says Blackwood't Magazine, we find lichen
colored caterpillars, moths, and other insects.
A pratty moth (Cleora glabraria), not uncom
mon in the New Forest, is white, dusted wit i
black, and its larva, which feeds upon lichen, is
of the same color. Some years ago, while col
lecting insects in that locality. I found In the
same tufts of lichen a small black and white
spider just as closely resembling the lichens. It
is supposed that these various color resem
blances have been brought about by tbe need of
concealment. A caterpillar frequenting lichen,
or a bird living among leaves, would be greatly
advantaged by a color resemblance to their sev
eral surroundings; hence variations In the re
quired direction have escap and destruction, and
there has been through long axes a gradual per
fecting of the resemblances. This to the most
generally received explanation: it accounts also
for the coloration of animals Hie ths spider, to
which I have referred, which do not
so much need protection from their
enemies as a disguise with the hslp of
which they can steal upOrr their prey. We
must, however, guard against taking gener
alities for granted without a careful examina
tion of the several cases. Many years ago
Messrs. Kirby and Spence called attention to
the resemblance between lichen-feeding insects
and their food: “Many of the mottled moths,
which take their station of diurnal repose on
the north side of the trunks of trees are with
difficulty distinguished from the gray and
green lichons that cover them. Of this kind
are M sell a aprilina aud Acronycta psl. The
caterpillar of Hryophila algae, when it feeds on
the yellow Lichen juuiperinus. is always yel
low; but when up n the grayXlchen saratilis,
its hue becomes gray. This cnHCge is probably
produced by the color of its.tood." The last
sentenoe contains a most noteworthy sugges
tion. which may help us in explaining many
similar cases of coloration in a much simpler
way than by natural selection or natural
elimination. It is well known that the pigments
which are often the cause of the oolors in
animals, and always, except in the case of white,
of plants, are extremely resistant to chem
ical action. Some of these will pass
unscathed through the strongest acids and the
most powerful alkalis. It U quite conceivable
then, that they will be equally unaffected bv
the chemical action of an animal’s digestive
juioes. There is, however, no need at all for
theory upon this point; It has been shown to be
the case in several Instances. Dr. Kisig found
in the Mediterranean a species of warm living
in the interior of a sponge The sponge was a
brilliant yellow, the color being due to particles
of a peculiar pigment deposited in its tissue!!
The worm wasa'so yellow, and it might be sup
rosed that th s harmony had been brought about
by the necessity tor concealment. An inquisi
tive ftob poking his nose into the interior of the
sponge, in search of the various small creatures
which constantly tako up their lodgings in such
a spoi, would pass over the "protectively col
ored” word, and select one that was obvious on
account of its different colors. It was found,
however, that tho of the warm was merely due
to particles of the coloring substance of the
host, which had passed out of the Intestine of
tbe worm into its skin.

We do not know*,why.
Scott’s Emulsion of cod-liver
oil is so useful in those simple
but varied conditions which
you know as “ having a
cough.” We cannot explain
it: we only know the fact
from experience.
It may be due to the com
bination of tonic effects of
cod-liver oil and the hypo
phosphites ; it may be partly
due to the glycerine. There
are many effects in medical
practice the causes of which
appear to be plain, but how
those causes produce those
effects we do not know at all.
