Miss Pollard, by her pertness and evi
dent desire to achieve “theatrical ef
fects,” has succeeded in making her case
more disgusting than ever. If there is
a “good moral lesson” in the case, as some
of our contemporaries affect to believe, it
is buried beneath so much filth that few
persons will ever dud it.
There were in the navy a Commodore
William B. Whiting and a Commander
William H. Whiting. It was the commo
dore whose death was announced in the
Morning News yesterday, not the com
mander who has lately been in the public
eye as tho American naval officer who
married tho Chiuese woman from Hono
lulu.
During the six years of its existence
the Georgia Chautauqua has grown to be
one of the most appreciated educational
institutions in the state. The annual
session, which began at Albany on Mon
day and will continue until April 8,
brought together a large attendance from
all sections of the state. During tho
week beginning April 1, a number of dis
tinguished men, among them Senator
Gordon, Gov. Northern Kiehard Malcolm
Johnson and ex-Gov. Taylor, of Tennes
see. will deliver addresses.
Recent reports from Bluofields, the
capital of the Mosquito reservation, make
it appear that the trouble at that place is
not yet over. The Nicaraguans continue
to hold the capital, to levy taxes on both
imports and exports, and to make things
hot for the natives. The British marines
are still ashore, performing police duty
In the city. Our Admiral Bcnham will
find, therefore, a situation somewhat in
teresting when he gets there. And he
may have occasion to fire a musket ball
into some other obstreperous ship's stern
post.
During last week the sales of cloths at
Fall River were much above the produc
tion. The stocks on hand wore consider
ably diminished, and the domand lor
goods was, according to a trade paper,
“eager.” Nearly every mill in the
city is stocked with orders, and a number
of them have just declared dividends.
Yet some of the manufacturers are agi
tating for reductions on account of the
new tariff bill. The employes can not un
derstand why iHcre should be reductions
■when goods aro in demand and orders
booked ahead.
A New York item says tho feature of
the Easter parado on Fifth avenue next
Sunday will be the Prince Albert coats of
the women. These coats are tho latcct
craze of fashion. They are described as
differing from men’s Prince Alberts in
having round instead of straight skirts.
As men aro comparatively slabsided, they
must necessarily wear straight and ugly
garments, while women, through the
favor of nature, may wear gracefully
draped covering; lienee it is possible that
even a Prince Albert coat may become
beautiful on the femalfc form divine.
A Washington institution of which
very little is ever hoard is the Congres
sional Temperance Society, now sixty
years old. Dingley, of Maine, is its pres
ident. The society celebrated the anni
versary of its birthday the other day. on
which occasion, Morse of Massachusetts,
Pickier of South Dakota and Johnson of
North Dakota, made speeches. There is
at least one body before which the stove
polish congressman from Massachusetts
can air bis eloquence without being sat
ui on. Temperance is a pretty safe topic,
and temperance societies aro notoriously
long suffering.
Dr. Stanton Coit told an audience of
l. iOO people in the Carnegie music hall, at
New York, on Sunday, that women are
inferior to men mentally and morally, and
that the government should make ar
rangements for women’s financial inde
pendence by having the employers of their
husbands withhold a part of their wages
to be turned over to the woman, or if the
husband is rich, by having a certain por
t.on of his estate set aside for the w ife.
Dr. Coit is evidently a theorist who has
never h“ard of Lucy Stone, Mary Lease.
Mrs. Foster or Mrs. Waite. Tho idea
that they were, or are. inferior to their
husbands in any particular is so prepoa
■uuus as to Le ridiculous.
•The Wilson Bill in the Senate.
The Wilson bill has at last reached the
Senate from the finance committee and
a day has been fixed for calling
it up for debate. In view of the
length of time it was retained by the
finance committee and the probability
that the debate upon it will be a long one.
the prospect is that it will not go to a
conference committee before the middle
of May.
Comparatively few changes were made
in the bill by the finance committee. The
most of the changes made by the sub
committee of that committee were per
mitted tc stand. It does not follow, how
ever. that the bill in its present shape
will command a majority of tho Senate.
It is understood that a great many
amendments will be offered, some of
which are pretty certain to have the sup
port of democratic senators.
For instance, it is believed that Senator
Hill will make a strong fight against the
income tax, and that he will be assisted
by two or three other democratic sen
ators. The republicans are, of course,
against the tax, though there may be a
few of them from the west who will vote
for it.
The sugar schedule is not wholly satis
factory to the Louisiana senators, and
they will try to have the duty increased.
The chances are, however, that they will
not succeed. They have got about all
they are likely to get. They will vote
for the bill if they can get no better
terms for sugar. Provision has been
made for abrogating the reciprocal agree
ments with those countries from which
we get sugar.
The abrogation of those agreements is
going to be stoutly resisted. A number
of important manufacturing interests arc
concerned in them. However, it appears
to be pretty definitely decided that a duty
is to be placed on sugar. Such a duty
would afford the sugar planters of Louis
iana no protection and would yield no
revenue unless the reciprocal agreements
which admit sugar free of duty were
abrogated.
What the country wants now is speedy
action upon the bill. As soon as it is defi
nitely known what the tariff is to be there
will be a very noticeable increase in busi
ness. Mills that are now idlo will be
started, and importations will increase.
If the bill becomes a law in June the
country will be enjoying a greater degree
of prosperity by the beginning of fall
than it has had at any time during the
last two years.
The Power Behind Waite.
Anew prophetess of passion and pop
ulism and blood has sprung into notoriety
in a day. She is the wife of Gov. Waite,
of Colorado, and on hor first appearance
before the public in the capacity of an
unofficial adviser to the governor she
demonstrated that she can give Mrs.
Incase and Emma Goldman pointers in
denouncing established law and demand
ing the death of people who think differ
ently from what she does.
On last Friday a conference between
representatives of the contending factions
at Denver, whoso differences wo have
already explained, was held at the cham
ber of commerce. Gov. Waite, of course,
was present. And so was his
wife, though the fact of
hor presence at and partici
pation in the conference was not gener
ally known for two days. An agreement
looking to a peaceable settlement of the
trouble was presented to the governor for
his signature, the plan being to submit
the question to the courts, each party
binding itself to abide tho court's deci
sion. When the governor had signed the
paper Mrs. Waite’s pent-up rage broke
its hounds. “You are a fool!” she
howled, at the pitch of her voice, breaking
rudely into the discussion. "Tho courts
are as corrupt as sin. Tho judges will
side with the corporations, and you will
ba betrayed again. Don’t trust them
any more. It is your duty to drive those
armed murderers from the city hall.
Don't sign the agreement.”
Continuing, she wont on to give her
own views of how the situation should be
met, and they were, according to report,
so bloodthirsty that the men in tho con
ference, including her husband, were
shocked into speochlessncss. She declared
that if she had authority she would or
der out every militiaman in tho state
and lead them against the city
hall, no matter what the consequences
might be. With clenched hands and
livid facß she cried that the fight should
go on until "the last national guardsman
in the state lay dead or writhing in death
upon the pavement.”
Since it has come to light that Mrs.
Waite is tho power behind the throne
that hor husband occupies, and since it
has been learned what manner of woman
sho is, it is not so difficult to understand
some of Waito's famous utterances. The
public have long been trying to harmonize
his blood-and-tliunder speeches with his
milk-and-water personality. Ho has been
referred to by those who know him as a
harmless old man almost totally
lacking in individuality. Even Mrs.
Lease could find nothing stronger
to say of him than that ho
was a “nice old man.” The pictures
of him that have appeared in the various
periodicals are those of a slow-witted,
heavy-jawed old person who might be lod
by the nose. And it is now believed at
Denver that his w ife has been leading
him by the nose all along; that his
bloody-bridies expression, and others that
have become equally famous, were but a
little more than parrot-like repetitions of
speeches taught him by her. "Never in
the whole controversy has any ono but
his wife encouraged Gov. Waite to use
force,” says a dispatch.
One result of this extraordinary
woman’s zoai for socialism will bo to hu rt
the woman's rights fight. Men cannot
afford to trust women of tho kind that
have ol late years thrust themselves into
political affairs.
The anarchists aro the enemies of law,
order, corporations, capital and govern
ment. Nevertheless they patronize cor
porations and endeavor to turn into
money their very failures to overthrow
law and government, it is asserted that
the anarchists of Europe are good patrons
of life insurance companies, and that the
Eondon-'rcds” have collected £B,OOO insur
ance on the life of Vaillant. who was guilo
tiued for throwing a bomb in tho Cham
ber of Deputies at Haris. It is probable
that tho “reds” do not inform tho insur
ance companies of their polit' .sand aims,
or tho companies would liurd’y care to
take risks ou them.
THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21, iß<)4.
Senator Colquitt's Condition.
The announcement that Senator Col
quitt has had a second attack of the se
vere disease t hat came near ending his
* life months ago, will be received with
profound sorrow throughout the state.
Tne first attack of ai>oplexy—the disease
from which ho is suffering -left him
almost a pnysical w rock. He so far ral
lied from it, however, that he was able to
attend to his senatorial duties, and he
hoped to become comparatively strong
again in the course of a \ car or two. Only
recently ho announced that he was
a candidate for re-election, and his friends
encouraged jhim to believe he would be
successful. Ho undoubtedly has a
strong hold upon the hearts of the people
of Georgia.
The attack from which he is now suf
fering raises the question whether he
will ever again be able to discharge the
duties of his office. He is 7-1 years of age,
and liis recuperative powers are greatly
impaired. If lie should survive the at
tack the chances are that he would be an
invalid for the remainder of his life.
His death at this time would change
the senatorial situation somewhat. The
governor would appoint someone to fill
his place until the meeting of the legisla
ture. Tiiat body would then elect some
oho for the unexpire 1 term and also for
the succeeding term. The appointee
would have an advantage not possessed
by any other candidate. The governor
would be the subject of a pressure such
as he has not experienced since he has oc
cupied his present office.
And if it be true that the governor is
an aspirant for senatorial honors his posi
tion would be a rather embarrassing one.
because if he did his duty conscientiously
he would appoint the best man from liis
point of view, and the legislature might
be guided by his judgment in electing a
senator. It is sincerely to bo hoped,
however, that Senator Colquitt’s illness
will prove to be of a temporary char
acter.
Do Whisky Men Want a Higher Tax P
Congressmen find it difficult to tpakc
any important change in the tariff bill
which does not call forth the charge that
it will help somebody make a mint of
money. When the House cut off the
sugar bounty and left sugar on the free
list it was said that it was known before
hand to a favored few what the action of
the House would be, and that they sold
sugar certificates and made a largo
amount of money. The Senate sub-com
mittee of tho finance committee put sugar
on the dutiable list and sugar certificates
advanced. It was immediately charged
that senators and representatives had
inside information of what would be
done, and that they reaped a rich harvest
by buying certificates when the price of
them was low. The charge that senators
were speculating in certificates was the
occasion of a pretty big scandal.
Now, it is alleged, tho whisky trust is
trying to have the tax on whisky raised
to $1..10 per gallon. The trust is not ask
ing for any change in the law, but it is
alleged, it is indirectly working to have
it increased to that price, with the privi
lege of removing all whisky now in bond
within the next two months, on the pay
ment of the present tax on whisky. It is
alleged that if the whisky tax should he
fixed at $1.50 a gallon the trust would
make not less than $6,000,000.
Congress should not be held responsible
for the opportunities for speculation that
are presented by tariff, or any other, leg
islation, There can be no legislation
without miakiug such opportunities. The
only .thing that can be expected of
congress is that it will pursue a straight
forward course, and do the best it can for
the public good. It would have more to
do than it could attend to if it should un
dertake to prevent speculating on informa
tion as to what it has done or will do in re
spect to any matter that has connection
with tho price of stocks.
The whisky trust does not say whether
or not it would like to have the whisky
tax increased. The House raised the tax
from 00 cents to $1 per gallon, and it has
not been changed by the Senate linance
committee. It is hardly probable, there
fore, that it will be changed by tho Sen
ate.
Representative Enloo keeps hammer
ing at the coast survey with a clogged
persistence worthy of Richard P. Bland
or “Billy" MacGarrahan. Mr. Enloe has
been “knocked out” several times already,
but comes up smiling for the next round.
The Dockery committee, which he wishes
to investigate liis proposition to consoli
date the coast and geodetic survey with
the hydrographic office under the navy
department, will coon go out of existence,
which may have adverse effect upon the
Enloe bill referred to in our dispatches
yesterday. Tho office of the Dockery
committee is to examine into tho work
ings of the departments, to consider im
proved methods of business to be adopted
in them, to cut away red tape where
found practicable, and to recommend the
abolition or consolidation of department
offices wherever possible. The commit
tee has about concluded its labors and
will report in a few days. Mr. Fnloo's
proposition should properly go bufore
that committee. Mr. Enloe is on the
right track. The coast survey spends a
great deal of money without accomplish
ing much.
The greatest gun ever manufactured in
this country is to be tested to-day at the
ordnance testing grounds at Indian Head.
It is a breech loading rifle with a calibre
of thirteen inches diameter, and will
throw a projectile weighing half a ton a
distance of fifteen miles. The lives of
people in adjoining counties, however,
will not he endangered by firing a regu
lar charge from the gun to-day. The ma
nipulators will put in about half a charge
—enough to make a good strong mar
aud point the monster’s muzzle at a con
venient sand bank. The test is to take
place in the presence of a number of sen
ators, representatives, cabinet officers
and officers of the army, and if the direc
tors of the event can make the big gun
roar loud enough and plow up sand enough
to impress the congressmen with a proper
sense of America’s achievements in gun
building and the necessity of building
more guns, they will consider tne test to
have been eminently successful.
It is announced that Ferdinand Ward
will bo married to-morrow. Yesterday
the news of Henry S. Ives’ death ap
peared in the papers. Tho fortunes of
these two “Napoleons of finance” seem to
have run in channels sometimes close to
gether.

A dispatch from the west states that Col.
John s. Meby is on his way to Washington,
and *hat he has announced that he will be a
c; ndidute for the presidency at the next elec
tion.” The colonel is early in the Held, but
not early enough. Mr. McKinley and Mr.
Heed are both ahead of him and the prob
abilities are that one of the two will get tho
nomination. There *s no telling, however,
wh it a republican convention will do at the
last monii ut. One nominated Mr. Benj. Har

the eligible* had to vote for him. The colonel
does right, perhaps, to take his chances under
the circumstances. c

Prompted By His Horse.
James Byrne is a Swede who has bumped
around In all parts of the world for twenty
five years, and he landed at St. Louis the
other day direct from bombarded Rio. The
story of his life, however, occurred during
the Franco Prussian war. He was righting
on the German side as a cavalryman, says
the Republic < hie day during a hot conflict
the cavalry came t * top ot a hill, and on
the c rest of another hill, across a deep ra
vine, the brunch had planted a battery.
Suddenly Byrne s horse reared and jumped
and started down the hill toward the ravine
on a dead run. Byrne tried t check the
frightened animal, but founu that it had
taken the bit in its mouth and was wholly
unmanagear le. Down the hill, across the
ravine and up the hill on the opposite side
the horse sped on like a streak cf lightii g.
The Fren< li battery began belching out shot
and shell, and Byrne then realized that
a runaway horse was carrying him right into
the mouth of hades. As the cannon : oomed
the screaming shells whizzed by the head of
poor Byrne, but some unseen hand of fate,
pievented them from harming either himself
or his hor.- e. As the horse dashed up the hill
to the very month of a cannon Byrne con
cluded to make the best of a dangerous pre
dicament. and drew his saber for self de
fense. He was surprised to see tie French
men leave their battery and flee like panic
stricken sheen But Byrne understood the
situation when he looked backward and saw’
his (omrades dashing up the hill on their
horses. By tne dismounted and held one of
the enemy's guns as the prize he had cap
tured. iVhen the other cavalrymen came up
he found outih.it they did not know his horse
had run away, but thought it was personal
bravery on his part, and that he had urged
his horse to make this mad race into the
aws ol death Did Byrne tell .Them that
'
hardly. Bvrne accepted congratulations and
said nothing. He was promoted to a cap
taincy , and ad because of his runaway horse, if
be had not made that ride the troops of cav
alry would never have attempted it.
A Hopeless Case*
The man had groaned so often and coughed
so hard, says the Detroit Free Press, that
every one in the car was interested, and one
sympathetic passenger inquired:
Got the grip?”
"No; bronchitis.”
"Bren whit h ?”
"Krone hitis.”
"Oh ”
There was a spell of silence. The sufTerer
was from Boston—that w’us evident, because
he emphasized the i " in bronchitis in a way
that left no donut. No one among the passen
gers dared to ta kle tho complaint, until a
series of deeper groans and coughs aroused
them to a sense of their duty.
