John Hiler, a Chicago drummer, mar
ried a girl at Bloomington, 111., the other
day after an acquaintance of only half au
hour. The girl's family, to their sorrow,
have discovered that Hiler is a habitual
bridegroom and that the tiabit is growing
on him. He has been married no less
than seven times in half that many years.
The Rev. Dr. Paxton, the New York
clergyman who secretly married Col.
Breckinridge to Mrs. Wing, and who it is
alleged violated the law in suppressing
the fact, is the minister who caused so
much agitation recently in the West
Presbyterian church, and whoso queer
deportment at one time caused some of
his parishioners to fear that he was
mentally unbalanced. Dr. Paxton of
fended some of his leading church mem
bers with indirect strictures upon them
in his sermorns, and they resolved to got
him out of the pastorate. They recently
accomplished that result, and have Just
chosen as his successor the Rev. M. D.
Babcock, a young clergyman of Balti
more. at a salary of SIO,OOO a year.
Should the prominent men of Denver,
■who are discussing the advisability of
proceeding against tsov. Waite on the
question of his sanity, put their purpose
into execution, they would probably be
able to prove him mad as a March hare.
The sano portion of tho ]>opulation of
Colorado—that is to say, all of the popu
lation except those i>opulists who are
supporting Waite in his vagaries—some
time ago came to the conclusion that they
had a crazy man in tho gubernatorial
chair, and for months they have been
busy explaining to the outside world that
Waite does not represent Colorado and
asking the other sections of'the country
not to take him seriously. It may be
doubted, however, that a legal inquiry
as to Waite's lunacy will be instituted,
for the reason that it might still further
hurt the state's business, if, indeed, the
result of the inquiry did not affect the
laws passed by the extra session of the
legislature and signed by the governor.
Colorado's experiment with populistic
politics has been a sad and a costly one.
Nevertheless, it will prove of benefit to
tho other states. The example of Waite
is a warning to the country that cranks
and demagogues on socialistic political
pl&Uurms cannot be trusted to administer
public affairs.
Talk That Means Little.
The republicans seem to find some sort
of satisfaction in saying that “if an elec
tion were had now the democrats would
be swept from power by a tidal wave of
popular indignation such as the country
has not seen for twenty years “
It is not improbable that there is some
foundation for this statement, beeausethe
business depression that is inseparable
from any great chances in the tariff. pro
duces dissatisfaction with the party in
power. Even those who recognize the ne
cessity for a reduction in the tariff, and
voted for it. are apt to express dis
satisfaction with the party responsible for
the tariff changes as seen as their busi
ness interests are affected unfavorably.
But it doesn't follow that Decause there
is a great deal of dissatisfaction now
with the party in power, there will be
after the new tariff has been adopted.
If prosperity returns when the country
adjusts itseif to the new conditions the
dissatisfaction will disappear, aud the
popularity of the Democratic party will
be greater than ever, and that the new
tariff will be productive of greater pros
perity than the country ever before en
joyed there is good reason to believe.
The theory of the Demo
cratic party is that the McKinley
tariff is graduallv ruining the best inter
ests of the country' It is robbing the
masses and enriching a few monopolists
who are in a position to profit by it. The
Wilson tariff would lift a portion of
the burden from the masses and make it
impossible for monopolies and trusts to
accumulate vast fortunes at the expense
of the toiling millions. If this theory is
correct, and there are good reasons for
saying it is, it will not be long before the
dissatisfaction, of which so much is heard
now, will disappear, and the opinion will
be very generally expressed that the Dem
ocratic party is iu power to stay for a
long time.
It was hardly to be expected that the
tariff could be lowered without produc
ing a certain amount of stagnation in
business. Importers must know what
the tariff is before they can safely import
freely, and manufacturers cannot go od
producing until they are certain of the
conditions on which they can conduct
their business. It would be folly for
them to buy heavily of raw materials
before they know whether ornota month
or so hence they would be able to buy
raw materials at a much less price. They
are holding back until they are in a posi
tion to make a safe estimate of the cost
of their products for many months to
come.
As-soon as the schedules of the Wilson
bill are definitely determined, factories
will be run on full time to satisfy the
orders that will flow in upon them, ami
the long and annoying depression in busi
ness will be a tiling of the past.
The democratic party will not be
turned aside from its purpose to lower
the tariff by the prediction that it will be
swept from power because of its tariff
legislation. It was placed iu power to do
a certain thing, and it is going to do it
notwithstanding the efforts that are being
made to turn it from its purpose.
If the Wilson bill should not accomplish
what the Democratic party believes it
would, then there would be ground for
thinking that that party would be “swept
out of power by a tidal wave of popular
indignation,’ - and it would deserve to be
for making such a mistake, but it is not
going to be “swept out of power" before
it becomes apparent that it has made a
mistake.
The people understand that the Repub
lican party is responsible for the present
unhappy condition of affairs. Had the
tariff during the Harrison administration
been lowered instead of raised, and had
there been economy instead of extrava
gance in the administration of the gov
ernment, and had the Sherman silver
purchasing law- never be. n enacted, the
chances are there would have been no
money panic last summer, and there
would be so littlo depression in business
that it would be hardly noticeable. The
democrats are not going to be “swept out
of power” quite so easily as the republi
cans seem to think.
Stay at Home and Trade at Home.
Recently the Morning News stated
that one of tho reasons why the south has
so little money with which to build fac
tories and endow colleges is that her peo
ple for many years have been throwing
away a large part of their surplus earn
ings in speculations iu cotton futures.
Hundreds of millions of dollars of their
money have been added to the wealth of
New Yorkers by these speculations. The
thousands of small speculators in tho
south speculate against a few well in
formed big oues in New York, and they
almost invariably lose.
Another reason why the south is kept
poor is that a vast number of
those of her people who have means
spend a portion of every summer and fall
at northern summer resorts and in north
ern cities. Much of what they save dur
ing the months they are at home they
spend while they aro away. Their own
summer resorts areneclected. and lacking
patronage cannot be made as attractive as
they otherwise could be.
And while in the northern cities south
ern people make purchases of clothing
and various other articles, thus taking
huudreds of thousands of dollars away
f. om their home merchants. They excuse
themselves for making these purchases at
the north by saying they find a greater
variety from which to make their
selections. If they would adopt
the practice of trading at homo
their home merchants would be able to
carry larger stocks and a higher grade
and greater variety of goods. Thoy
would be astonished to see how quickly
the home merchants would accomodate
themselves to the new conditions.
The money that is spent at northern
summer resorts and iu shopping in New
York should bo spent at home. Let the
southern people stop speculating in cotton
futures and stay at home in the summer
and spend their money with their home
merchants, and in the course of a few
years there will be in tho south all the
money needed for developing mines, erect
ing factories and endowing institutions of
learning. Let the south keep her dollars,
within her reach and she will be rich and
prosperous.
Demands of the Tariff Association.
The Southeastern Tariff Association
makes some pretty stiff demands upon
the city authorities, ami it would cost
the city considerable mouey to comply
i with them. Tho item of greatest cost
THE .MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, .MARCH 18, iS94.
would be a sixteen inch main on Bay
street.
The committee appointed by the city
council to consider the demands has the
confidence of the public. There is no
reason to doubt that it will discharge its
duty conscientiously and impartially. If
it reaches the conclusion that the fire de
partment is in need of reorganization it
will say so, and it will be equally frank if
it comes to a different conclusion.
Its task is a difficult one, because it is
certain to meet with both encouragement
and opposition in whatever direction
it pursues its investigations. Its duty,
however, is to get at the facts. If we are
at fault let us know it, and if the tariff
asso iation is making demands that are
not ust and reasonable, as an excuse for
raising tlie rates to recover their losses,
let the fact be knowu. What is wanted
is the truth as near as it can be obtained.
It is to be hoped that the adjustment,
whatever it may be, will be basel upon
so thorough an investigation of ail the
charges us to the inefficiency of the fire
department and the lack of other means
for the successful fighting of fires, that if
another tig fire should occur the tariff
association would have no excuse for
raising the rates. Let the investigation
be so thorough that there will be no diffi
culty in sustaining whatever conclusion
-
Lynchings North and South.
The time has about come when the rad
ical republican press of the north must
cease to upbraid the south for negro lynch
ings. The north is making a record for
lynching negroes that compares very fa
vorably with that of the south, notwith
standing the fact that nearly all the ne
groes of the country are in the south.
The particularly cold blooded lynching
of a colored boy at Stroudsburg, Pa., on
Thursday prove s conclusively that north
erners are as ready as southerners to re
sort to lynch law. The scene of the
lynching was in one of the strongholds of
the Republican party, in that locality
are to be found men who pretend to be
horror-stricken whenever they hear of
tile lynching of a negro in the south, and
yet no mercy was shown a negro mur
derer there who had escaped from prison
and been re-capturod.
Let ns see now what the republican
papers will say about the Rtraudsburg
lynching. Will they excuse it or will
they remain silent in respect to it? Per
haps they will wait until another negro
is lynched in the soutn before saying any
thing more in condemnation of negro
lynchings. It does seem as if they have
not so much objection to lynching negroes
as to the lynching of them in *the south.
It is ail right from their point of view to
lynch them in the north. The lynching
of them only becomes brutal, barbarious
aud criminal when it is done in the south.
With the lynching record the north is
makiug the time is close at hand when
the republican press of the north will not
have the gait to condemn the south for
lynchings without admitting that the
north is an equally great offender. The
sense of justice of all fair-minded people
would revolt against condemning one sec
tion for a practice that prevails to an
equally groat extent in the other section.
In the last year quite a number of ne
groes have been lynched at the north. In
tact, the number is so large that if the
north had as great a black population as
the south that section would average a
lynching a day.
It is to be hoped that the republican
papers will not expose themselves to the
chargepf liypocracy by a sweeping con
demnation of the southern people when
the next lynching occurs in the south. If
they were disposed to be just they would
admit that if the north had the same pro
portion of black population as the south,
lyn hings would be as common in the
north as in thesouth.
The republican papers are already as
serting that it is a very rare thing for a
lynching to occur in Pennsylvania. May
be it is, but lynchings have occurred re
cently in other northern states, and Penn
sylvania is dropping into lino with them.
We have no defense to make of lynch
ing, but we do condemn the hypocricy
of the republican papers which condemn
lynching in the south while ignoring the
f ict that it is a great and growing ovil in
the north.
A Building, Not a Fence, Wanted.
The call of the treasury department for
bids for a fence around the government
lot on Bull street suggests the inquiry
whether tho government has decided not
to begin the erection of the postoffice build
ing this 5-ear. What the people of this
city want is not a fence around the lot,
but a building on it.
A month or so ago it was announced by
the chief architect of the treasury de
partment that bids for the construction
of the different parts of the building
would be called for soon, and it was un
derstood that the work of erecting the
building would be begun this spring.
This call for bids for a fence would seem
to indicate a change in the plans of the
government.
Savannah has waited a long time for
her new postoffice building. An appro
priation for it was made years ago, and it
has been a good while since tho site was
purchased,. The people of Savannah
have been very patient under the promi
ses that have been repeatedly made re
specting the beginning of work on the
building, but it can hardly bo expected
they will continue to be patient under re
peated disappointment.
That favoritism is shown in respect to
public buildings there is no room for
doubt. In some localities tho buildings
authorized aro erected without much
delay, while in others tho pcoplo aro put
off from year to year at the pleasure of
the officials who have charge of the mat
ter. It is time for Savannah to protest,
and to protest vigorously, against further
delay. She has waited long enough for her
building. At this particular timo tho!
work the building would provide would
be a blessing. It would give employment
to needy mechanics and laborers, nnd
would encourage the erection of other
buildings. If something is not done soon,
indicating a purpose to begin tho erection
of tho new post office soon, steps should
bo taken by citizens to bring to tho at
tention of tho Secretary of tho Treasury
their wishes in tho matter, and also tho
fact that there is discrimination against
Savannah.

The Medium Know Him.
John McGinnis, a wife murderer, was hang
ed in the county prison. Philadelphia, about
ten years ago, writes a Mail and i xpress re
porter. It was c ;stomarv then and proba ly
is now in Pennsly vania to swear in the news
paper representatives as members of the
coroner s Jury, for you m ist know that r.n in
quest is belli on the body of the law s victim,
and a verdict is solemnly rendered that the
said So and so came to his death bv strangu
lation.
i was a witness of the hanging of McGinnis.
It differed in no wise from the half dozen I had
•seen 1 efore and lhe half dozen I saw after
ward. Tho murdered professed repentance,
slept well the ni„'ht before his death, ate a
hearty breakfast in the morning ami walked
stoically to his fate. 1, as one of the twelve
jurymen, signed the certificate which testified
that the judgment of the court had been duly
executed. My account of the hanging was
written in the afternoon and in the
evening I received instructions to
visit a well-known spiritualistic med
ium and determine whether >1.6
was an interesting enough charlatan to war
rant an elaborate newspaper e xposure I had
seen the woman until that night, and
think it extremely proba le that she had
never seen me. The circle’ had been
formed when I reached the house, and the
medium was scaled in a chair, with her hands
on the table. Her eyes were partly closed.
The room was dimlv lighted, but no sooner
was 1 inside the door thaa the woman began
tearing at her throat ami gasping in a most
distressing manner. Her features became
distorted and she appea ed to be suffering in
tense agony. Suddenly she arose and grasped
me i y the hands, and cried
“You were one of the twelve—one of the
twelve —one of tee twelve
With that she fell to gasping again and
acted like a person who was choking. One of
the “circle ’ said she was possessed by the
spirit ot a man who had i cen hanged, f re
late just what happened without comment. X
may say I haven't the slightest faith in any
of the many phases of so called spiritualism.
An Ovation That Touched Lee's Heart
“Gen. Kobert E. Lee* once told me of an
ovation he received that touched him more
than any demonsiratii n ever made in his
honor.” said the venera le Judge* White, ot
Virginia to a Washington Host man at the
national. '•Followin-7 olosoly on me surren
der of the southern army, the commander in
chief of the confederacy went to pass a season
at the home of his particular friend. E. K.
Cocke, who last November ran as the popu
list candidate for governor against Col. O P or
ralJ. After a few weeks of the most hospit
able and elegant entertainment, uen. Gee
was called to the pr sidency of the Washing
ton and uee University. Bidding his kind
friends adieu he started for Lexington on
horseback and alone. He had gone some
miles and was pa.-sing through a rather
dreary stretch of wooded country, when he
esped a plain old countryman mounted on a
sorry nag coming toward him. As they
passed each other both bowed, as is tho
lashion when strangers meet 1n out
of the way places, but the old farmer in the
home spun suit stared hard at the soldierly
hgure as though not qu;t*3 certain of recogni
tion. lie went his way a little further, then
turning his hor>e around, cantered uack and
soon uiime up with the general again.
“i beg pardon, sir. but is uot this Gen.
Kobert nee?”
“Yes, lam Gen. Lee. Did I ever meet you
before, my frieud ?”
■then the old confederate grasped the
chief tains hand and with the tears stream
ing down his face said: *Gen Lee, do vou
mind it i cheer you? The general assured
him that he didn’t mind and there on that
lonesome pine oordered highway, with no
one else in sight., the old veteran with swing
ing hat lifted up his voice in three ringing
rounds of hurrahs for the man that the .'south
idolized. Then totii went, their way without
another word being spoken.”
The Dukes Saved Him.
There is a stouy of a railway traveler who
had tho misfortune to find himself alone in a
compartment with a lunatic, th ’ train not
being timed to stop for a couple of hours, and
no means existing for communication with
the guard. '1 ho lunatic appeared to ;e a sen
siule man enough when tho train started, but
soon betrayed his mental aberration bv com
plaining that the carriage was “too heavy."
and attempting to lighten it by casting all of
the loose packages out of the window.
Having cleared the. compari ment, he an
nounced to his alarmed companion that he
must follow his baggage. A struggle with a
man endowed with maniacal strength would
have teen a hopeless affair, so the proposed
victim temporized He asked to t.e allowed
to eay a prayer, to which the lunatic readily
agreed.
“I wish to pray for others besides myself.”
said the traveler. "I cannot omit the royal
family.”
Permission gained, the traveler prayed
aloud for every royal personage he could
think of. however remotely connected with
the British dynasty; but time was waning,
and even the Almanaeb de Gotha” has an
end.
■You really must go out now." said the
madman, as the breathless speaker paused
wi(h a last despairing effort to recall another
namo: you have prayed for every one of
them."
But we have forgotten the House of
Peers." cried the victim, with fresh hope:
"you cannot insist on leaving them out al
together. At l ast, let me pray for tho
Dukes."
"Only for the dukes, then,” said the mad
man. reluctantly.
But this delay saved the traveler, for before
this final beat roll was exhausted the train
had reached a station, and he could call for
assistance.

ITEMS OF INTEREST.
The old Puritans of New England had
?oiLe curious customs savs the St Louis
Mot>e Democrat not the least singular of
which was the practice, in vogue up to 1820. in
some places, of giving out checks to church
mem ers .o lethem to take tho com
mcnion. At the close of a service, the last
l efore the communion; the decons would go
thro ph the church and give a small ass
check to such entitled to goto the
yomm .nion tuoieon the following Sabbath.
The practice no doubt has its origin in large
communities, w here a suspicion existed that
unworthy persons might participate in this
I art of the service, but it was of no earthly
use iu sm ,11 churches where everybody knew
everybody else and a stranger was a novelty.
But still it was kept up. for no better re ison
proeat-ly than that it had always been the
custom.
If a li-inch log is to be converted into
to irda five-eighths of an inch thick, twenty
boards can be sawed from the log if the saw
cuts but one sixteenth of an in h between
each plank, says the Sawmill Gazette.
Lighteen boards can be made if one eighth of
an inch is sawed away. and if three sixteenths
are lost only seventeen boards will be ob
tained. That is, the loss m the first case is 9
percent , in the second IT per cent., and in
the third 21 per cent, of the timer. If the
log is 12 feet long the weste in sawdust will
range nom one and or e half cuetc feet to
nearly four cui ic feet, and a single saw frame,
which cuts up fifty logs a day and works 250
days ;n a year, would convert from 20.0JJ to
nearly SJ.OUQ cubic feet of timber into savv
oust every year. This large amount, at 2>
cents a cubic foot, which is a fair a erage for
pine, will represent in mo.iey Thin
saw- lades, with carefully sharpened teeth,
are therefore great factors in saving material,
and every year the need of such saving is be
coming more urgent.
People passing the Realty Block within
the past few days, says the Anaconda
Standard have teen attracted by a novel
sight in the window of one of the vacant store
rooms. In a shallow wooden box, less than
three feet square, their downy t odies in con
stant motion and their shrill pipings sound
ing even through the giass. are seventy-two
chickens, apparently as happy as if they wero
in a barnyard under the care of a bustling
hen. The box is a “broo.ler” and is the only
mother that the seventy two fluffy youngsters
have ever known, and in it they have lived
for tho week that thuy have been alive.

No meat is allowed to be sold in Paris to
the retailers without first having the seal of
a government inspector placed upon it. says
the New York Mail and i’ xpress. All slaugh
tering is done under the official eye. The
main abattoir is in the city, surrounded by
masses of buildings, but is so admirably kept
that no bad odor is perceptible from either
the live stock market sheds or adjacent
slaughter pens. Inquiries brought out the
fa t that fully 20.000 horses mules and don
keys are annually slaughtered for the Paris
market This curious statement seemed so
incredible that further and more particular
investigations were made, and two of the re
tail m tracts where ihis kind of meat is ex
clusively sold were visited. Tho visitor was
received courteously at both piacos and in
formation freely given on all points exi ept as
to the cost (to them) of the meat. All three
kinds were o:i the hooks and each labeled
with a brass or copper label in large letters
to show’ what it was. To aid any American
sojourner in Paris who mav wish to try a
mule steak for hreakfast. and in
acknowledgement for the courtesy shown
us. a littie free advertisement w T ould seem
not to ; e out of place. M. fremerel, 121 fine
dc la Roquette, said that he had been selling
horse meat from this same stand for twenty
seven years. In response to a remark as to
the line fat appearance of the meat displayed,
showing ‘ two lingers' wid hof fat on the rib,
the old gentleman said tha* he frequently had
it “three fingbr s thi kuess.” or in other
words with more than tv:o inches of fat. The
other market, Emile Prevost. 91 Rue de la
Roiuettehadafullvariety.hor.se, mule and
donkey meats and sausages from each or all
three combined. At each place customers
were purchasing and paying their money,
coming and going without seeming to think
thetr purchases were o? a kind to attract un
usual attention. The inquiries brought out
the facts as to the very high prices of meat
in Paris. A choice leofsteak costs 50 cents
per pound: an ordinary cut 30 cents. A choi e
cut of horse, donkey or mule steak costs 2 )
cents per pound, while the ordinary cuts run
to 10 cents, so that after all it is cheapness,
not taste, that impels or compels people to
buy these varieties of animal food.
When we think reverently and admiringly
of the father of our country, says Harper's
Bazar, and of all the dangers he dared and
tne evils he encountered, we are not apt to
remember one of the hardest trials of his life;
and that must have teen the accommodation
of his mouth to a set of teeth manufactured
3 u K) miles away from that mouth and carved,
it is said, from a whole block of ivory. When
he had contrived to accommodate himself to
the momentous affair it must have been a
singular revelation that his smile made, and
Lady Washington may ha\e found something
trying in the face opposite her of the grea est
and grandest of men. What a marvel m com
-1 arison is the dentistry of to day, that knows
how to preserve the teeth indefinitely, and so
to preserve the shane of the face and the
original beauty of ihe lips, and upon nete3-
sitv can absolutely remove the boue.

Improved upon universally, Yet in spite of
the beautiful delicacy and regularity of the
modern artificial tooth in general, a much
better effect is obtained when the teeth are
not so perfect, and each so exac'ly like its
typical prototype. A little gold filling here, a
very slight shortening tnere, a t n gap, a
hint of overlapping.au atom or two of un
evenness at the end. all help more in the vrai
semb'ance than matched and precise perfect
ness does. This, however, is more useful than

i uliarities seem to express some idiosymracy
of the person possessing them: they are like

or the imagination. And piovided they he

ciently wholesome looking otherwise, thev
do not at all interfere with the charm of
“sugared lips parted with sugar breath.” It
is with difficulty, indeed, that any healthy
teeth, unless they are set in ugly and pro ect
ing gums, can do aught but add to the luster
and life of the coun’enance. A man whose
beard largely hides his teeth can even meet
this difficulty, and is never at the disadvant
age, so far as teeth are spoken of. that a
woman is when these teeth are not all they

THE LIQUOR DISEASE.
Enough has already been said and written
by eminent physicians regarding this habit
to convince all beyond a reason of doubt that
it is a disease, fully as much to be dreaded as
consumption, or any chronic or hereditary
ailment. Why hesitate then to be treated ?
You certainly would be treated for ally dis
ease if you thought it would, sooner or later,
take away your life ; and, although you mav
seem to be humbling yourself to take a treat
ment for a habit you think you are master of,
you certainly are not master of a disease -
and this habit very soon becomes a disease.
The 1 agey treatment can beta ei by busi
ness and professional men without interfer
ing with their duties. The course is mild,
but most effective, and is taken without in
jury to the constitution or mental faculties.
Graduates have increased mental and phys
ical strength.
