The Senate will vote on the federal
elections repeal bill next Tuesday. The
result will bo the same as if it had been
voted on two weeks ago. All the speech
making on the subject that has been in
dulged in is merely a waste of time and
breath.
Senator Colquitt serves notice that he
is nOtout of the race for the senatorship.
In a : recent letter to a friend at Rome,
Ga., be says he has not yet declared him
self not a candidate, and until he and Ktj.so
his friends have a right to sup, o;e he
will be a candidate for re-election.
There is talk of Mr. Dole, President of
the Hawaiian provisional government,
resigning from his position. There is
also talk to the effect that Mrs. Dole,
who is a New England woman and, it is
believed, used to be a school ma'am, will
not let him do anything of the kind. Mrs.
Dole is said to be very ambitious, a wo
man of strong mind, and fully determined
that her “Sandy” shall be the first presi
dent of the Hawaiian republic.
Last June the New York Southern So
ciety decided to abolish all its club fea
tures and return to the plan upon whjeh
It was fir st organized by Algernon S. Sul
livan in 1886. The society’s lease of its
club house will, therefore, be surrendered
on Feb. 16. The social side of the club,
however, will not only be maintained but
maybe enlarged. The club will, from
time to time, give entertainments, and on
Fob. 22 of each year will bold an annual
banquet.
George Gould has publicly announced
that his sister Anna will marrjf William
Harriman, one of the best known young
club men in New York. Mr. Harriman
is the son of a minister and a member of
a prosperous business firm. Miss Anna
Gould’s share of her father’s estate is
something like *15,000.000. The prospec
tive bride has never been introduced into
society, nevertheless society circles are
said to be much interested in the forth
coming event.
A queer wager is being carried out at
the City Methodist church, of Freeport.,
111. A prominent member of the congre
gation jokingly offered to furnish all the
wood for the church that t two of the
>oung lady members would saw.
They have set to work with a will,
Snd promise to provide and fuel sup
ply for several years. The other ruem
ers of the congregation are taking con
siderable interest in the matter and
■vonderiug whether the man's generosity
sr the women's pluck amt muscle will
out first.
What la Expected of the Senate.
The country expects from the Senate
prompt action on the Wilson bill, and if
it is disappointed it will manifest its dis
pleasure e*en more emphatically than it
did when that body delayed action upon
the bilt repealing the purchasing clause of
the Sherman silver law. The business
and industries of the country are
languishing, not because of fear of
the Wilson bill, but because of
tiie uncertainty as to whether or not the
bill will become a law. Just as soon as it
is clearly determined what changes will
be made in the tariff there will be a re
vival of all kinds of business. The asser
tions made by republicans that the bill, if
passed, will be the death blow of a great
many of the industries have no founda
tion whatever.
Tlie democrats are as profoundly inter
ested in the prosperity of the country as
the republicans can possibly be. and they
have studied the tariff as carefully and as
thoroughly. They are contident that the
industries would be much more prosper
ous under the Wilson bill than they have
under the McKinley tariff, aud they are
also certain that the material condition
of the working men would be even better.
The speeches of Speaker Crisp and
Chairman Wilson, closing the tariff de
bate in the House for the democrats,
were in marked contrast to that of Mr.
Reed, who closed the debate for
the republicans. Mr. Crisp and
Mr. Wilson were confident and
logical. Mr. Reed was sarcastic and
evasive. They spoke for the masses of
the people, and he spoke for the few who
are the beneficiaries of the high protec
tive system.
When the McKinley tariff was adopted
by the House there was no such scenes ot
enthusiasm as those that marked the
passage of the Wilson bill. The reason
was that the McKinley tariff bill aroused
no enthusiasm. The public recognized it
as a means which enabled the rich to put
still heavier burdens upon them. They
knew that the Wilson bill lessened their
burdens. That was why the capital was
crowded to suffocation on the last day of
the tariff debate in the House.
The Senate may make some, changes in
the bill. There will be serious com
plaint if it does. What is demanded is
that there shall be no unnecessary delay
in passing the bill. Prompt action is de
manded, and that there must be. if the
Senate desires to avoid condemnation
from one end of the country to the other.
Speaker Crisp’s Tariff Speech.
Speaker Crisp has reason to be gratified
with tho comments on his tariff speech.
It is being very generally commended. It
was one of the very best of the many
good speeches of the Wilson bill debate.
Although delivered at the close
of the discussion, when it was
thought there was no possibility of saving
anything new, it commanded close atten
tion from its beginning to its end, because
of its logic, clearness of statement, the
convincing character of the arguments it
contained and the sincerity and earnest
ness with which it was delivered.
It was an answer to Mr. Reed's speech,
which immediately preceded it, and a
very satisfactory answer, too it was.
Particularly effective was that portion
-of it that was in reply to Mr. Reed's ref
erence to China. Judge Crisp pointed
out that China was au example of cen
turies qf prohibitive protection, keeping
her home markets exclusively for her
own people., and he called attention to the
fact that Chinese workmen and laborers
had deteriorated so greatly that this
country denied them an abiding place
within its borders, and that China her
self was steadily going backward in ma
terial wealth.
Judge Crisp met every issue fairly and
squarely. He did not attempt to belittle
arguments nor avoid facts which seemed
to be fatal to his theory of the tariff. Ho
spoke as a statesman confident that he
was in the right, and he made an impres
sion that helped the cause he advocated
and increased his already well estab
lished reputation as a debator.
Rich Men 1 ! Millions.
It is a difficult matter to make a will in
which shrewd lawyers cannot find a flaw.
And it does seem as if the courts are in
clihed to sympathize with those who try
to break wills. It is quite seldom that a
will thut disposes of a large estate, and
diverts,a part of it from the heirs of the
testator, is hot broken. Samuel J. Tilden
wa'nted his millions applied to the estab
lishment of a groat library in New Y'ork,
but his nephews and nieces thought they
would like to have his money and they
got it. Notwithstanding tiie fact that his
“will was drawn by a man who has the
reputation of being the ablest lawyer in
New York, the courts held that the instru
ment was void.
A contest is going on now in New York
over the will of an old leather merchant,
named Daniel B. Fayerweather, who died
a couple of years ago, leaving an estate of
about $0,000,000. He left $2,100,000 to be
divided among twenty colleges, which he
named, and after providing for his widow
Ue ga\'p the remainder, about $4,000,000,
to three trustees, to be distributed, it is
claimed, among the twenty colleges. The
trustees interpret the will to mean that
they are authorized to give the residue to
institutions of their own selection.
The trustees and twenty colleges are
now fighting in the courts for the 8-4.000,-
00Q. and each party is aided and abetted
by a small army of lawyers, whose fees,
before the contest is settled, will be equal
to a large share of the residue.
Mr. Fayerweather would have been-a
wiser man if he had distributed his
wealth before he died. His last hours
were made unhappy by his wealth, be
cause the squabble over it began several
days before bis death.
A great fortune is a source of satisfac
tion to its possessor, but it is also a great
burden. When a inan knows that ho is
near the end of his earthly .ourney. and
has plans relative to the disposition of his
millions, he cannot do a wiser thing
than carry out his plans himself. If he
depends upon others to execute them after
death the champs are his money will
not find a lodgment where he intended it
s'nould. Mr. Fayerwoather worked anil
saved a lifetime to accumulate a great fort
une. and it looks now as if strangers
would get the credit for the most of that
part of it which will go to public institu
tions.
Mr. Horn blower, whom the Senate re
fused to confirm to the supreme bench,
was married recently to Mrs. Nelson,
widow of Lieut. Col. A. D. Nelson, cf the
army. Mrs. Nelson was tho sister of Mr.
Hornblower’a first wife, who has boeu
dead several years.
THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1894.
The President and HU Party.
During Mr. Cleveland’s first term as
President there was a lack of harmony
between him and the democrats in con
grhss. If the democratic leaders had
been consulted ho would not have been
nominated for either a second or third
term. His nomination came from the
democratic masses. Mr. Cleveland under
stands this very well, aud he has always 1
depended upon the people rather than the
politicians for supjiort. ,
Since the beginuing of his present term
tho differences between him and his party
in congress have become so marked as to
attract very general notice and excite
comment. Avery small proportion of
the democratic members cf the House
and a still smaller proportion of the
democratic senators are in sympathy with
the administration. Just why this is so
is due to a number of things. The presi
dent has not tried to make friends. He
has not sought advice from congressmen
and lias not received it graciously when
it has been offered him. By his indiffer
ence to the wishes of both senators and
representatfves he has estranged many
who would have been glad to give him a
cordial support.
The consequence is that he finds it diffi
cult to get assistance from congress when
his administration needs it. While it is
probable that his course in the Hawaiian
affair will be sustained because he acted
from a high sense of justice in all that he
did, still there will be no enthusiasm in
defending him from the attacks of the re
publicans.
Congress ought not to have forced the
secretary to resort to the act of 1875 for
authority to issue bonds to protect the
credit of the government. It ought to
have authorized a bond issue, and it is
probable that it would have done so if
there were a kindlier feeling for the ad
ministration. There are other things
which show that there is a lack of har
mony between the administration and the
democratic majority, but the two to which
attention is called are sufficient for the
purpose.
One of the reasons why there it not
more sympathy between the President
and the democratic leaders in congress is
the fact that so many republicans who
are not protected by the civil service law
still remain in office. It is alleged that a
great many who are offensive partisans
are holding important places in all the
departments. In fact, if reports are to be
credited, in the treasury department alone
has there been a systematic attempt to
put democrats in charge of desirable
positions. In all the other departments,
it is claimed, republicans, who boast of
their allegiance to the Republican party,
are permitted to hold on to places that
ought "to have been given to democrats
long ago.
Another thing of which democratic rep
resentatives and senators complain is that
they receive no more consideration w'ben
they call at the white house than the av
erage office-seeker. . The President makes
no special efforjt to give them anaudience,
and it often happens that a senator does
not get to see him after waiting an hour
or so for that purpose.
The President is undoubtedly satisfied,
that he is dojgg what is right, and that
public sentiment will sustain him, but is
be not depriving himself of the strength
that is necessary to carry out the policies
his administration may consider neces
sary for the welfare of the country? He
cannot niaae his administration asuccess
ful one unless he has the support of his
party in congress, and the way
to get its Support is not by ignoring its
wishes. He, succeeded in getting the
Sherman silver law repealed because the
common sense of the country demanded
its repeal, but neither the sentiment of
his party nor of the country favors keep
ing republicans in offices that should be
given to democrats. The country be
lieves in. civil service reform, but that
reform does not require the keeping of
republicans in office who are not within
the jurisdiction of the civil service law.
Democrats all over the country would
like'to see harmony jpetween the Presi
dent and tho democrats in congress.
They will stand by the*President as long
as he is right, but they would like him
to be in accord with tho democratic sena
tors and representatives.
Make the Improvement.
The city council is talking about
improving Gwinnett from Whitaker
street to the new water works. The
improvement should bo made at
once. The pavement should be of shell
or of chert. A roadway thirty feet in
width would be plenty wide enough. That
would leave plenty of room for a side
walk and a wide grass plat on either
side. And quick growing trees should be
planted in the grass plats.
There is also talk of a little park at the
water works. The park will be estab
lished in time. What is wanted at once
is a fine driveway and good sidewalks to
the water works.
If Gw nnett should be improved, as
suggested, it would become a popular
promenade. Hundreds of people would
stroll out to the water works on pleasant
day*.
Cannot the council find sufficient money
to do this work? The people never grum
ble at taxes for street improvements.
They grumble because so little street
paving is done.
What about chert? Is the council not
satisfied that it is superior to shells for
street paving? It is much cheaper. If
the council has not investigated the chert
question, it ought to do so, because it is
important. Let us see What can be done
towards improving Gwinnett street to the
water works this spring. Have an esti
mate made of the cost of the work, and
perhaps the necessary money cam. be
found.

CURHENT COMMENT.
The Tariff in the 3enate.
From the Baltimore Sun (Dem.).
The tariff bill should be discussed and dealt
with as a measure of tariff revision, unon its
own merits. The in-ome tax bill as a meas
ure designed to meet an antlciuated falling
iff In the revenues derived from customs in
the event that the tariff is redt cad. should be
allowed to stpnd or fall upon its merits. Wo
think that the democrats in the House made
a mistake in linking the two measures as one
That mistake is n the power of the Senate to
rectify and amend.
Louisiana Ui braids Kentucky.
From ' he New Orleans States (Dem.).
Whenever a l)cal industry has been touched
by the Wilson bill a calamity wail has fol
lowed immediately The most absurd howl
that has yet been heard was that of the Ken
tucky members of the House who declared
that the increase of the revenue ta . on
whisky from SO cents to $1 per gallon would
destroy the whisky interests of their state.
In view of the fact, however, that the con
sumers of the tin 'turenf trouble pav the tax,
it is difficult to understand in what wav the
distillers will suffer, Tue Kentucky delega
tion should explain.
Stand by the President.
From the Ba'timore News (Dem.)
It is the President s intention to execute
the commission entrusted to him and to his
party. If he must encounter the ill will and
opposition of self styled lea era. whose per
sonal interests are damaged by the honest
periormance of party promises, he cannot, on
that account, be false to his trust, lie is
doing the will of the people, at the command
of the people. He cannot listen to recalcitrant
democrats norite governed by their .selfish
and unpatriotic motives. They are in the
wrong. Therp is discord, wo admit, and
harmony should be restored. The President
Is in harmony with the people, tils enemies
are not. Del them harmonize themselves
with the people. Then there will be no
longer discord between them and the Presi
dent.
Hill for Governor of Naw York.
From the Springfield (Mass.) Re publican (Ind.)
The rumor that Senator Hill intends to run
lor governor of New York again next fall
hasn t much to rest upon but this much is to
beooserved, that Hill would be in a better
position to pose as a presidential candidate in
9as goveruor of New York elected under
the pte Utar political conditions of than us
a sjnator continually fighting President
C.eveland In national affairs. In the Senate
Hbl will be at a disadvantage as a presi
dential candidate because while there he is
all the time piling up a record" on various
troublesome public questions. On the other
hand, could he I e elected governor of New
\ork in the teeth of anti snap.ier opposition?
It would be risking his whole political future
to make such an uopeal to the voters of New
I ork; but It might be that only a desperate
course offers ihe slightest hope of realizing
the ambition which Hill has been audacious
enough to proclaim.
Stories of President Porter.
“A hearty and natural greeting, a ready
smile, and a certain indefinable air of com
radeship”—thus Dr. Munger characterises
the relationship of President Porter, of Yale
College to his pupils, says the St. Louis Re
public -it made him the pacst popular in
structor of his day and one of the most use
ful.” Dr Munger ad Is. And another of his
biographers bears a similar testimony as fol
lows: >
1 Good scholar or noor earnest or frivolous,
everyone found kind and listen nz and cordial
response. A friend one met at his door a stu
dent going out from an interview whi h his
own fault had oic isioned: aud the professor
said with a twinkle "in his eye:
“ I like to meet a bad fellow now and
then”
He never sermonized, never seemed to be
trying to do you good. 1 Bis manner was like
an elder t rot her s. I remember In my junior
vear tailing in with him while walking in
•Tutor's Lane.’ He Invited me to join him,
and for two hours we walked and talked—
about books, the scenery, whatever topic
came uppermost—almost as freely as I would
have talked with one of m.v college chums.
“I recall nothing that was said, but I know
that a quiet uplift was given by that conver
sation. It is a rare gift in a man to be able to
talk with a boy and a college Junior IS two
thirds a boy—and that gift he had in perfec
tion.
How he was regarded by the students In
general is shown by an amusing reminis
cence.
1 The last torch of old-time formality which
survived in college usage was that at the con
clusion of prayers and ot Sunday service the
president walked down the center aisle whilp
the seniors on both sides bowed low to him
if the president happened to be absent the
professors went in the order of seniority, and
tba first oi them received the salute.
“In my day the senior place fell to Prof.
an eminent and estimable man. but stiff
and inaccessible, while Prof. Porter walked
Th seniors a ways remained rigidly
erect while ProF passed by— and 1 believe
ue goo- a sent minded man was never aware
of It—but when Prof. Porter followed they
owed deferentially low. I can see now the
genial smile which this highly Irregular pro
ceeding always brought to his face.”
The Power of Imagination.
The colonel was as drunk as a lord and
equally as dignified last night, and the com
bination was irresistibly funny, says the
Washington Post. His apparel was faultless
from his high hat to his patent leather shoes,
and the immaculate condition of his lmen
showed that his jag -was of recent acquire
ment. he steadied himself before the Met
ropolitan mahogany and blinked tenderly at
Billy Burdlne. There was affection emphatic
in his smile and it curled up the corners of
his mouth In such a tight knot that utterance
was difficult. He made two or three efforts to
speak, and then a shiver ran through his
frame. ”Ur-r r-r” he ejaculated, “Horr skosh,
Blldy.”
•‘Hot Scotch, did you say, tJolonel?” in
quired the barkeeper.
“Crect.” was the sententious reply.
Hurdine looked him over and picked up a
lump of sugar with the tongs.
• vve have just received a remarkably mild
and soothing brand of Scotch whisky,” he re
marked, as he placed the sugar in a glass and
turned on the faucet of the boiler* "I’m
sure there is nothing else like it In town."
He stirred the water and sugar together,
made a feint with a bottle, deftly twisted a
piece of iemon peel and dropped it Into the
decoction and placed the glass before the
colonel. The latter raised it to his lips, and
every one could see that he was bro ing him
self to keep his hand steady. He sipped the
liquid with the dainty delicacy of a connois
seur.
■Thash good." he said, with emphasis.
”s mtffv jeelishus. Make er nozzer.”
Burdine made him another and then an
other. ihe colonel straightened himself up
and smiled broadly again.
“Thash stuff knocker cole out. Guesh'll go

He went out and got into a wnilting cab, and
he won't know until be reads this that the
three hot s ot?hes he drank at the Metropli

nothing eiso but hot water, sugar, and. as they
say in the Bowery, “a squoze o' liutmin peel."
In Mother’s Place.
From the Quiver.
‘‘ln mother’s olace”—so father said.
His kind hand resting en my head,
While all the burdens of the day,
The care and trouble, toil away!
New purpose .‘emncd to grow in me
To struggle for the victory.
And by the fireside’s happy light
1 breathed a silent prayer to-night! .
I never guessed in times gone hy
How much there was to fret and try
The sweetest temper ail day long!
Was it to day when things went wrong,
I che ked the hasty augrv word.
Hearing the tones my childhood heard.
Seeing in memory the while
The vision of a vanished smile!
The children, crowding at my side,
Need me and will not be dented!
The home her presence made so bright,
Needs me. and I must be its light!
The boys and girls too soon will go
From sheltering arms of tove, I know—
May the sweet influence of home
Be theirs wherever they may roam!
Y'es! It is little I can do;
Y'et faith in God wiil bear me through
And give me wisdom to fulfill *
My duty, since it is his will
That these, who need a mother’s care,
Should find in me—bereft of her.
And loot-lag for her loving (ace—
A guide and friead In mother s place!
Didn’t Think Much of the Tarik.
Quite a number of members of congress
t ring their little children with, them to the
House of Representatives and have them oc
cupy seats near by, while they take part in
the Droceedings. says the Washington Post.
Representative Bryan is very fond of having
his children with him. The other day he
brought his 5-year-old girl to the Horse and
while the discussion was going on she amused
herself alternately by writing some sen
tences all her own and In listening to the de
bate.
When they were returning home she in
quired of her father what.it was all about.
He told her they had been talking about tho
tariff; that is. he said, the way in which
taxes were to be levied, and explaining the
ideas of protectionists and of free traders.
•Will it make dolls aud candy cheaper?"
she Inquired.
s-he was told that the price of the little
amo nt of those articles she consumed would
not be very materially affected, whereupon
she said she didn t think much of the tariff
anyway.
An Old Story With New Trimmings.
The Boston Budget resurrects an old story
told of a certain Yorkshire bishop. One fine
afternoon, as he was returning from his
monthly visit to the parochial school in one
of the villages, he saw by the roadside a
small boy.
On nearing the hoy the bishop found him
very busily engaged at modelling The cev
ereued gentleman asked the boy what he was
doing. “Buildin' a church, was the answer.
“Ah.” said the bishop, the interior, i see.
Well, these are the pews. J suDpose and this
is the pulpit, but what do these pieces of stick
represent?”
Oh." said the boy.‘‘they are the congre
gation.” Weil, j-ott have the pews and the
pulpit and the congregation, but where is the
parson - Have you forgotten him:-”
"Lord, no " was the unexpected and some
what disgusted.rt'ply. “i loft him till last;
you see. master, it takes such a bloomin' lot
o mud to make a parson.”

ITEMS OF INTEREST.
A resolution in favor of birching bad boys
instead of sending them to prison has been
sent to the British home secretary, sign and by
anumlerof magistral* s. The proposition is
to birch boys under IS for all offenses, at the
discretion of the magistrate. The judicious
use of the birch it is believed would not only
have a more ra’.utary effect, but would save
the toys from acquiring the prison taint,
losing their dread of the prison, and sinking
deeper into crime.
Elaborate preparations are being made to
raise from the lagoon mud at Venice the long
lost Piazetta column, which has recently been
discovered, after having ia.n there for eight
centuries. It was in 1080 that the Emperor
Alexis Commcnus of Constantinople, pie
sented three Egyptian monoliths to the city
of Venice. Twoof them were landed safely.
The third, in the course of disembarkation,
toppled into the lagoon, all trace of it having
been lost until a short time ago.
A curious trial has been going on at Cra
cow, in which more than a hundred peasants,
men and women, were charged with lese
maieste. armed opposition to the authorities,
noting and the circulation of false reports.
On the outbreak of cholera in 1883 the district
authorities of Wielicza. in Galicia acting on
the instructions of the stadtholder. ordered
certain preventive measures to be taken by
the municipalities. These measures caused
great discontent. On the outbreak of the ep
idemic in Cracow and Podgorze the district
officers a’pointed a commission to see that
the sanitary precautions referred to were en
forced. In the meantime the peasantry de
elded to offer armed opposition to the commis
sion. the movement being instigated in sev
eral instances by the heads of lo al munici
pal bodies. Reports were spread by agi
tators that the sanitary commission was
about to destroy the food of the peasantry
to break their household vessels and burn
their old clothing. At one of the meetings
of the peasantry the secretary of one of the
municipal councils suggested that the women
should arm themselves and prevent the en
trance of the gendarmes. Some of the mu
niqipal officials threatened peasants who
wished to withdraw from the movement with
fines and other punishments. The commls
ston on beginning their inspection louod
themselves confronted by a moo of women,
armed with hay forks and other implements,
who compelled them to retreat, in the back
ground was a crowd of armed peasants In
one place the gendarmes were almost over
powered by the mutinous country people, be
ing saved by the appearance of a troop of
dragroons.
Some figures recently published show the
enormous extent to which the frozen meat
trade in England has been developed during
the last thirteen years. It appears that in
1893 no fewer than 2,511.511 carcasses of frozen
sheep and lam ,sand 171.640 quarters and
pieces of beef arrived in London from New
Zealand and Australia alone, without count
ing 1.373,723 sheen from the River Plate and
16.425 more from the Falkland Islands. The
sheep are mainly brought direct from the
farmers in New Zealand or Australia by rep
resentatives of the English companies, the
amount paid being 2d. per pound tor animals
not over seventy pounds In weight. The farm
ers also receive the skins, kidneys, and fat. A
few are sent on cons g iment. but the other
system is thought to work more satisfactorily
as under it the farmers know at once what
they are to get, and are saved tedious delays
and possible disappointments. - here are al

New Zealand, ot which 12 ar; In the North
Island and 9tn the South, and these works

or an aggregate of 4.000,(0) a year. The cost
of a complete set of works, capable of dealing
with 1.009 sheep a day, is estimated at from
£17.0U) to 4.20.000. Eighty-eight vessels
altogether have now been fitted with refrigor
ating apparatus, and these have a maximum
carrying capacity of 6.TU0.000 carcasses. The
cost for slaughtering, freezing, and putting
the sheep on board is frqm three eighths of a
penny to a halt penny per pound aud tne

Edgar Wakeman, whote life among and
close study of the Romany entitles him to be
ranked as highest authority Upon gipsies,
furnishes from time to time many interesting
facts in regard to their progress in this coun
try. He states that in Chicago there is a
clergyman who was born a gipsy. A member
of the Pennsylvania legislature has the same
origin. In Canada there are nfty eminent
professional people who are of the Bohemian
iace. A prominent civil engineer on a south
ern railway is a gypsy. Mr. Wakeman says
that in New Y ork city are half a hundred gip
sies, several of whom are worth upward of
itluu.uuo apiece. A Boston lawyer is in good
practice is a gipsy. A San Francis, o cafe is
owned and conducted by a gipsy, who is very
rich, in Indianapolis is a physician in large
practice, who passes as an Englishman. He
was born in a Yetholm gipsy camp. One
of the wealthiest residents of Washing
ton is a gipsy. Certain business men
in Richmond and Baltimore have the same
origin, tienry Stanley, of St, jraul, owns
property worth over 840,000. The Cooper
family, of Eas Somerville, Boston, are worth
8250.009. Uriah Wharton owns tcbtt.uOt) of rea.
estate in New York. In Canada the amount
of property held by Gipsies is very targe.
Half a million dollars' worth of property in
and aroi m Dayton. 0., is owned by Gipsies.
In Milwaukee, Elias Brewer owns $50,000
worth of property, “in short," says Mr.
Wakeman. “I make It as a staiement of fact
that I could fill columns with names and ad
dresses and property estimates nearly a
thousand Gipsies in this country whose com
bined wealth would exceed $4U.U00.W,0. ’
Thus it Is that the Gipsies have Lecome an
interesting race to tho student of sociology.
Their advancement and prosperity are not
suppositious. The Gipsies are becoming in
reality an mportant part of the community.
As Air. Wakeman hints, some dav the ousy
politician will be scurrying about to catch
the Gipsy vote.
The following sketch of the man Vaillant s
career, taken from tho official indictment, is
an interesting illustration of the stuff of
which anarchists are made: “Beginning work
at the age of 15 as a confectioner s appren
ttce. later on ho was shoemaker, thermom
eter-maker, day laboter. and lastly, a jour
neyman in a morocco leather factory. In his
numerous peregrinations, he has several
times been prosecuted. On May 21 1876, he
was lined i y the Dijon magistrate for travel
ing in a train witho t a ticket: on Mav 23
1878. at Charleville. h i had six da-s impris
onment for theft; on *.e.'. 14 of the same year
at Marseilles, he had three davs’ imprison
ment for begging; on April 24.1879, at Algiers,
he had three months’ imprisonment, an 1
on April 26. 1881, at Marseilles, a
month for theft. Ever seeking his fortune
in 1890 he went to the Argentine Republic!
where he had obtained a concession. He
wrote to a friend saying that in ten years he
hoped to be well off. In that correspondence
he revealed to his friend that his exodus had
another object—to get rid of his wife by the
help of some chance lover. Disappointed in
his other schemes, he returned to France in
March, 1893. He presented himself to his
wife's family, and almost immediately
formed relations with one of her epusins, the
woman Marchal. The outraged husband left
the house and Vaiilant took his place. At
length. I eing without resources and having
sold the scanty furniture of the Mar hal
home, he had to think of work. In company
with his mistress and his daughter he took
lodgings at Choisv-le Hoi, where MM. Petit
pout. touched by his poverty and entreaties
ended by taking him into their morocco lac
tory. He ;ecompensed his masters by ex
citing difficulties with their men. In constant
relations for several years with the so-called
•Anarch s' Companions he was secretary at
Choisv-le-. oi to the Philosophic Library for
the study anil Diffusion of the Natural Sci
ences.' the aim of which was anarchist propa
ganda. At Choisy ie-Roi the accused con
ceived the criminal project of committing
the outrage (in the French Chamber) of Deo.
