Kelly, son of the late Eugene Kelly, was disinherited by his father. It is to be presumed that the rea son was a family matter. Being such, Mr. Kelly, senior, had the right to settle It, in so far as the distribution of his money was concerned, in a manner to suit himself. However, the disinherited son may astonish his relatives and friends by pulling out for himself and making of life as great a success as his father did. Other disinherited sons have done that. Capt. Dreyfus will probably “wipe out” the stain upon his name by committing su icide. If he does not he is a queerly consti tuted Frenchman. There is nobody whom be could fight hnd by whipping him re gain his prestige. The punishment he has already suffered—having his sword brok en and his insignia of rank torn from his uniform on the parade ground—is quite as terrible as death itself to high spirited military men. The fact that the captain’s trial was in secret leads many persons to wuspect that he was unfairly dealt w ith lor political reasons. Dr. Parkhursf is writing a book. It is presumed that it will be printed on as bestos and bound in sheet iron: for ad vanced reports say il will be “specially hot stuff." The manuscript is now on the printing machines. It is alleged by a wickedly humorous New York paper that streams of . Ice water are kept playing ■upon the machines to keep them from be ing melted by the ardor of the doctor's denunciations The volume, It is said, will show that many of the prominent wit nesses before the Lexow committee com mitted perjury, and that there were at tempts made to manipulate the committee, some of which came very near succeed ing. Congressman Russell of this state Is quoted by the Baltimore Sun’s Washing ton correspondent as follows: "I am op posed to a registration law. 1 am opposed to the Australian ballot system. I am heartily in favor of fair elections, hut I bel'.evs much of the agitation for a reformation of our methods comes from men who have failed-to obtain what they wanted from the Democratic party. There was one man I know of in my state who talked louder than any one else about corrupt practices of the democrats, who was generally accused of having worn his middle linger, which was shorter than the others, down to its present size stuff ing ballot boxes." The congressman is mistaken if he thinks the demand for election reform it not general. It is pos eibly true that disgruntled office-seekers are in the ranks of those crying for re form in this matter. It would be ex ceptional if the leeches did not attach themselves to the movement. Neverthe less, the blood suckers are pretty well known, and will be watt bed by the voters who have the good of the state and party at heart. The ballot reform sentiment la strong and growing, and at the next session of the legislature of this state the Australian system will probably be k adopted. The Currency Question and Politics. One of the reasons urged for the ap pointment of a non-partisan commission to prepare a banking and currency bill for the approval of the next congress is that in no other way can the currency question be taken out of politics. It is apparent now that it will be difficult for congress to pass a banking and currency bill without making concessions that woud not be apporvt and by those who want a safe dnd sound financial system. The silverttHH demand that silver shall he given greater recognition, the national hank people have views they want adopted, and those who favor state banks of issue thr* a ten to defeat any measure that doe* not provide the kind of cur rent y they want. It might be a difti ult matter to name a commission that would consider only the public good. Still. |t is possible to secure such a commission, and congress may be forced finally to adopt the commission scheme, though there does not now seem to be any prospect of Us doing so. The democrats in congress are awaken ing to the fact that if they fall to enact any hanking and currency legisla tion their political opponents will charge in the approaching presidential cam paign that the Democratic party la< ked the ability and courage to give the coun try relief from its financial troubles. A charge like that would have a dam aging effect upon the party. If congress should pass a banking and currency bill that failed to give relief the Democratic party would be in a worse position than if no bill at all were passed. As far as the approaching presidential campaign is concerned, therefore, w hat is needed to fully restore confidence in the Democratic party is legislation that would give the country a safe and satisfactory banking and currency system. The republicans are watching every move of the democrats carefully and they confidently expect that they will fail to pass a banking and currency bill. If they should fail the republicans would proceed to reform the banking and currency sys tem on lines which they believe would give their party a quarter of a century’s lease of power. There may be those among them who would Join the democrats in passing a banking and currency bill provided such concessions as they v ant were mvcii them, because they are apprehensive that the present condition of our financial af fairs threatens a serious financial disaster but the most of them are not at present thinking so much of th* welfare of the country as they are of the success of their party. Their qini is to put their party Into power and keep it there, and they are willing to take a good many risks to accomplish that object. The next few days ought to clear the legislative atmos phere at Washington greatly. It may clear it to such an extent that it will be possible to see whether there will he any banking and currency legislation by this congress, and if so whether it will he of a character to put the nation’s finances upon a safe and sound basis. Our Black Population. A question that has been debated a great deal Is, whether or not tjie blacks in proportion to their numbers are In creasing faster than the whites. Mr. Henry Garnett, an expert of the census, has virtually set this question at rest by the publication of some statistics bearing upon the subject taken from the census returns. There is no doubt that the blacks are in creasing rapidly, but not nearly so rap idly as the whites. From 1790 to 1890 the white population increased from about 3.0U0.000 to 55,000,000. In the same time the blacks increased from 750,000 to 7,500,000. These figures show that the number of the whites was eighteen times as great at the end of the TOO years beginning with 1790 and the number of blacks was only ten times as great. To put the statement in another shape, the blacks in 1790 consti tuted twenty per cent, of the population and in 1890 they constituted only twelve per cent of it. And the greater increase of the white population has not been wholly due to im migration, because, between 179*) and 184 u, when there was very little immigration and when tlie health of the blacks was much better cared for than they them selves care.for it now. the increase in the white population was relatively consider ably greater than that of the blacks. The census fig lifer show that the blacks are gradually moving from the border states of the South to the South Atlantic and gulf states.—particularly Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas, though in all southern states, except Arkansas, the rela tivo Increase of the whites is greater than that by th* blacks. This condition of af fairs would indicate quite clearly that there is no reason to apprehend a race con flict in any one of the southern states at any future time. It is well known of course that the tendency of the blacks as well as the whites is toward the cities and towns, in IMSO only 4.2 per cent of the blacks lived in cities having 8,000 inhabitants or more. In IS7O 8.5 per cent, of them were*.residents of cities and towns and 1890 twelve per cent, of them. It is well understood that the number of criminals, in proportion to population, is far greater among the blacks than among the whiles, but the number of paupers is no greater. The reason the number paupers is no greater is that in the south, particularly in the towns and cities the poorer class of blacks have means of living not possessed by pov erty stricken whites. The census figures show’ that while the blacks have not made the improvement mentally, morally or materially they were Expected to make since emancipation they are slowly bettering their condition. At a rich man’s funeral in New York the other day S9OO worth of violets were laid upon and about the bier. That may be regarded as extravagance; nevertheless good comes from the exceptional outlay for violets. The sum paid for the little flowers was an addition to the circula tion in the people’s hands, and the chances are that a large proportion of it went in to poor people’s pocket. THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY. JANUARY 8. 1895. Secretary Lament's Pet Project. It is said that Secre’ary Lament was mainly Instrumental in bringing the Presi dent and Senator Hill together at the President’s dinner table. Before the fail elections he made an effort to induce them to adjust th**ir differences. In his opinion the overwhelming defeat which the Democratic party suffered in New York last November was partly due to the lack of harmony between the Cleve land and Hill factions. If these two lead ers become r*H:onciled the two factions of the democracy in New York can easily be induced to shake hand? an 1 prepare for a vigorous < ampaign in I*9*>. It is said tha* Secretary Lamont thinks that if the fighting forces of the Dem ocratic party in New York can be har monized, ft can be made to appear that the democrats will have a fair chance of carrying that in the next presi dent al election. With a showing of that sort the next democratic nominee for President may he a New York man. That is what Secretary lAmont is working for— to open the way for making a New York man the nominee of the Democratic party for President in 189 H. The reason first suggested for the rec onciliation between the President and the senator, namely, that the President wants the senator to be the leader of the admin istration forces in the Senate Is not gen erally accepted. He could not not, for several reasons, fill that position suc cessfully. He may when the opportunity presents itself say a good word for the President, as he did some time ago, and which really opened the way for the ad vances which the President made to the senator, but it would be a mistake for him to attempt to be the mouthpiece of the administration in the Senate. The reconciliation doubtless means that plans are being proposed for the cam paign of 189*1. Complete harmony between the democratic factions in New York is necessary to the carrying out of those plans. Secretary Lamont does not appear to be a great factor in the administration, but it will not be denied that he is a very shrewd politician. He understands the political situation in New York thor oughly and great confidence is felt in his politcal management by the party leaders. In the meantime, neither the President nor Senator Hill will give out a word about the dinner for publication. Ap parently each of them thinks that it would be better from every point of view’, to keep the exact truth in respect to it from the public. There is, therefore, doubt as to what the President said to the senator in his note inviting him to dinner and as to what the senator said in reply. It is expected that the effect of the reconcilia tion will soon become apparent In New York politics. The President and Hawaii. Those republican senators who have been trying to make it appear that the President encouraged the royalists of Haw'nil to overthrow’ the republican gov ernment that has been established there received a pretty severe set back by the publication of the answer the President gave the three commissioners of the de posed queen who visited Washington last August to see if something could not be done to restore the monarchy. The President did not see the commis sioners. What he had to say to them he put in wilting. He told them frankly that he did not believe that this country’s representative at Honolulu had been whol ly impartial in the part he took in the revolution, and that he planned to set this country right in the matter. He said his plan had failed, however, and that the established government had maintained itself. It had therefore been recognized by tills government, and he saw no rea son for changing the policy which the ad ministration had adopted in respect to Hawaii. This was a straightforward statement. Its publication w ill have the effect of set ting the President right before the coun try in respect to the Hawaiian affair. At all times he has been frank and out spoken in respect to Hawaii, and his com munication to the deposed queen’s com mtudoners shows that he accepts the Ha waiian situation as it exists at present. Th re is therefore no reasonable ground upon which the republican senators can attack him for the course he pursued in respect to Hawaii. Hats off to this hero! He is Harry Brault. and he resides at Peterboro, Ont., where he is a lumberman working for a lumber company in the Madawaska re gion. Some days ago John Jamieson, his friend and fellow workman, sustained an accident—broke his leg—and the shock drove him crazy. He told Brault he was going home. The men were forty miles from anywhere in the wilds of a forest. The cold was intense, and snow and ice covered everything. The sick man started. One hundred yards from the camp he gave out and fell exhausted. Brault rushed to his aid. Picking up the crippled and crazy man Brault took him upon his back and started out to carry him forty miles to the railroad. The woods were full of dangets. Wild animals roamed everywhere, and once Brault’s crazy burden attempted to shoot him. Yet the heroin Canadian plodded on. and fct the end of the fourth day reached the railroad. Anybody who is disinclined to believe the story may assure them selves of its truth by turning to the map. and finding Madawaska is there, and by .referring to the newspaper files and learning that it was extremely cold in Ontario ten days ago. Senator Fair was popularly supposed to be worth a minimum of $!0,000,0u0 at the time of his death the other day. A publi cation of the Inside affairs of the senator s death by a San Francisco paper shows that he is worth only $12,000,000 or $15,000,- 000. It is understood the senator lost heav ily in wheat deals during the past several years. The estate is so encumbered with debts due for wheat that the heirs will not receive a cent from it for several years. The Georgia corn train to Nebraska will be laden also with wholesome food for reflection on the part of the north. A bill has’ been introduced in the legis lature of Pennsylvania to make the pur chase by proxy of poll tax receipts a mis demeanor, punishable with fine and im prisonment. There are other states than Pennsylvania that ought to have a law of the kind. The payment of poll taxes as am ans of petty bribery’ is probably in dulged in wherever a tax receipt is nec essary to the voter s exercising the func- , tion of elector. PERSONAL.

CURRENT COMMENT. Short of Political Capital. From the Philadelphia Record (Pcm >.

The Logical Candidate. Louisville Courier-Journal <Pem.).

The Florida governor’s haste in revok ing his first order was such that he could n it await the opinion of the attorney gen eral, which had been asked for. and his present temper is such that he will not see newspaper representatives or talk to any one about the matter. Mr. Flagler will now visit his Florida reserve and enjov himself w ithout apprehension of the min ions of the law. and the newspapers will congratulate themselves on having won a signal victory in causing the Florida governor to change his mind. Believe in White Witch. Old world superstitions are by no means extinct in England, and in the west coun try they are very powerful. A country doctor gives some curious experiences of his practice in Cornwall, which, he de clares. he shared with a dirty oi l woman known as the “white* witch.” He tells the story of a giri who was seized wftn fits. She consulted tne wltrh. who said she* had been bewitched by somebody, and told her to go away and find out who it was. In a week the girl went ba*k and said she* dreamed every night of a stout eldeny woman, with a very red face, who threat en* i her. It so haptenel that close bv there lived an elderly widow, charitable, popular and highly p -?pe*:r. ?. ti? stout and, unfortunately, red in the face. She va* evidently the v. it h. and h**r rood character made her al! the more danger ous. Besides, if she had nor bewitched the girl, why did she appear to her in a dream? There war no resisting these arguments. They would have been ample 150 years ago to set the poor old lady swimming in the river, which, of coure. would have been much the best way of breaking the spell As that, unhappily, was impossible, the best way was to go by night to the old lady’s house, take a -stone from the garden wall, and put it into the kitchen hr** at he girl s home. When it was char red away the tits would cease; and, in d-f*d, they would cea*<- earlier still if the case could be helped by hanging round the girl s neck the linger of a man who had hanged himself—but such things were hird to t ome by. Fortune favored the girl. A man hanged himself that dav w **k in a hamlet near at hand. The sui cide’s finger was secured, used as the witch had directed, and the tits ceased almost immediately. This case occurred in the year 18*7. However, the white witch was not al ways so successful. The cottagers had unbounded belief in the absurd and some times mischieovus old woman, and would even go to her in cases where delicate suggery was required. Rut the ways of the inhabitants have now grown familiar to the doctor, and he more than half be lieves their traditions, and does not reject the very wildest of th**m. Aid even in th<* juggleries of the white wit -h his ear sometimes catches the ting o 2 truth. Mr. Eastman Met a Bear. Rears like to try people’s nerves, says the Presque Island Beacon. Many people have noticed this disagreeable habit of theirs. Last Thursday night after dark as Carroll Eastman was walking up the hill fmiliarlv termed “the mountain.’’ on the main road between Fort Fairfield and Presque Isle, h* saw something dark in the road just ahead of him. It was a bear. Bruin was standing up, his arms folded across his breast seemingly taking a nocturnal sur vey or nature in general, and the. road tq I-ort k airfield village in particular. Car roll spent considerably less than half an hour reflecting upon the situation before he got outside of a yell that would have brought a flush of joy to that smoke-and greaso area of a Comanche Indian which Is sometimes called a face. Carroll started down th. rood for home at a gait that would have made Flying Jib kick himself for envy. Apparently the bear was pierced to the spinal cord by the whoop. He col lapsed quicker than a Kansas land boom, falling to the ground all in a heap. Gather ing himself up in a minute he locked around and started for camp. The next day Carroll and others went to look for his bears hip. They found numerous tracks, hut no bear. The above is the story as the neighbors teil it. Carroll himself claims that when he first saw’ the bear he simply spoke a wj>ru of gentle remonstrance to the effect that Bruin ought to see it was hardly courteous to be taking up so much of the highway at night, and thus Impeding the progress of foot people ami others.

A peculiar substitute for window glas, known as “tectorium,” is stated to have been for some time employed In Austria, Italy, Germany. Switzerland and Russia, as a covering for hothouses, marquees* verandas, windows of factories, roofs of stores, etc. It is a special, insoluble, bi chromated gelatin, translucent as opal glass and incorporated in Nr ire gauze, it possesses, we are told, the translucent? of opal glass, is tough and flexible, bends without breaking, does not dissolve in water, and is not injured by frost. It is a bad conductor of heat, and becomes stronger, it is stated, the longer it is ex posed to the air. Some noteworthy speeds have been made in this country by the Ilerreshoff and other steam launches. The fastest beat in England at the present tftne is the Hibernia, which makes a rate of 39 miles an hour with the stream and -S 1 ; miles against it. Th#* boat is 48 feet 3 inches long. 7 feet 3 Inches broad and 1 foot V 2 inches in draught. Her engines are two cylinders, both high pressure, 7 1 * inches in diameter, stroke •> inches, revolutions from 750 to 1,050 per minute. Th** propeller is three' bladed At ordinarv speed the boat makes but little wash. With a slight touch of the regulator, she leaps forward and as the speed increases sinks slightly to the stem, while rising by the head, until at a critical high speed the bow rises tdean out of the water, and resting on her keel, the boat shoots along between a double wall that hides about two-thirds of her hull completely. A precious stone on which the decree of fashion has. at the present moment. a fancy value is the peridot, or “even ing emerald,” a* it has been called. It is certainly a lovely stone, with its ex quisite shades of transparent green, the best suggestion of whose hue is the effect produced by looking at the light through a deli, ate leaf. Jewel* fs say that the peridot is a species of olivine, of the same class as the beryl, aqua-marine and topaz —and that it is. In fact, the ancient “to pazion,” otherwise known as chrysolite. It is found in Egypt, Ceylon, Peru and Brazil—good crystals being extremely rare. Of its various shades of green— olive, leaf, pistachio or leek—the clear leaf-green is the most admired as a rule. At a recent fashionable wedding, one of the most beautiful and costly of the presents was a set of ornaments com posed of peridots set in amethysists; the blending of the soft mauve and green was exquisitely artistic. Of all th** precious stones the peridot is the most difficult to polish. The Anal touch is given c n a copper wheel, moistened with sulphuric acid—a process which requires the great est care, for, if dipped into the acid, the stone has the peculiarity of becoming sol uble. Sometimes it is cut in ros** form, or en cabochon. like a carbuncle, but is bet ter and more valuable when worked in small steps, as the brilliance is thereby increased. According to the “Evangellsch-Luther ische Klrchen-Zeitung.” Berlin, a horrible caricature of the conversion of heathens to the Christian faith is being enacted in Camernoon. The old services of the fetish are prohibited under German rule, but the Duallas have no intention to renounce heathenism and have now organized them selves into a body having all the appear ance of a religious community. The au thorities have been asked to investigate the matter. Our contemporary says: “To find a substitute for the worship of idols, the Duallas have organized the Almela ’Church.’ Almela is the god of whisky, and well known through all the coast dis tricts. To keep up the semblance of a re ligious community, the Almelas demand that intending members of their congre gation pass an ‘examination’ to prove their fitness. The convert is then im mersed aft€>r the manner of the Baptists. When he arises from th water he is given a glass of liquor, and exorted to remem ber that liquor shall henceforth be his god. The ‘convert is thus bound to drink plenty; of alcohol. Meetings are held on Sundays, and the leader takes a book from which he pretends to read, but in reality discourses on th** harmlessness and pleasures of vice. Many people of Bongo have sought admittance into* this body. They were told that Almela wor ship came from Europe, being one of the many religious sects of the Christians.” The great Edison incandescent lamp works are no longer turning out lamps with bamboo filaments. This simple fact covers a whole period without parallel for indefatigable research and ceaseless Invention. When the art of making incan descent lamps began fifteen years ago all kinds of carbonizable substances were dilllgently experimented with—wood, pa per. silk, hair, putty—and Edison has stated that he has made no fewer than 3/100 separate tests of such materials be fore he settled finally on bamboo as the best for reduction to carbon and for sub sequent durability. But there arc many different varieties of bamboo, and Edison ransacked the earth in the quest for the kinds having the toughest, straightest fibers. His emissaries visited all the trop ical quarters of the globe, penetrating to regions up the Amazon, in India and Japan, never before reached by an Amer ican. The result of their adventurous dis coveries w’a.s the selection of a species of Japanese bamboo which has been used until very recently. Now newer processes have come to the front, and bamkpo gives way to paper us the basis of the delicate black filament that glows golden when the current passes through it. We are said to be on the eve of cheaper lamps, due not alone to improved manufacture, but to foreign compettion. The expected ar rival of 75,000 German lamps in New York was noted the other day. although in England lamp dealers, after using them, have begun to advertise- their lamps as “not of German make.” The dead sea, or more properly the Salt sea, is also called in scripture the sea of the Arabah; in the Apocrypha, the So domitish sea; in the Talmudical books. Sea of Salt and Sea of Sodom. The name Dead sea seems to have been first used in Greek, and th** Arabic name is Ruhr Lut. or the Sea of Lot. It has a length varying from forty to forty-six miles, and is only about three miles across at its broadest part. From the analysis cf the United States expedition, savs tip* Broklyn Eagle, it appears that each gal lon of the water, weighing twelve and one-quart *r pounds, contains nearly ' hree and one-third pounds (3.319) of matter in solution, an immense quantity in view of the fact that sea water, weighing ten ami one-quafter pounds per gallon contains less than one-half pound. Of this three and one-half pounds nearly one pound is common salt (chloride of sodium), about two pounds chloride of magnesium, and less than one-half pound chloride of cal cium (muriate of lime.). There does not appear to be anything about it inimical to life, and the story of a recent tourist confirms this. He says; “As fin* the Dead sea. it will, in contradiction of the name, forever preserve n green and living memory in my mind. No fish can survive In it. we all know, but for a place for a swim, or, above all. for a float, commend me to it beyond all the Winnepesaukees in the world. How it bears you up in arms! How it annihilates the tiresome ponderosity and dignity of the lows of gravitation! How- it introduces you into the inner consciousness of dainty Ariel and thistledom and all other airy, fairv creatures! The more you weigh the less you weigh; there is the real hydrostatic paradox. An elephant in the Dead sea would feal himself a gazelle. Then what a mirror its steely surface was that morn ing, and how beautiful its reflections of the mountains of Palestine on the one hand and of Moab on the other!” Awarded Highest Honors—WoridU Fair; DR POWiH MOST PERFECT MADE, Grape Cream of Tartar Powder.
