The effect of the shortage of the Cuban
sugar crop is reflected In the market re
ports, which show an advance of % of
a cent in refined sugar, with the tone of
the market "higher.” The normal yield
of sugar in Cuba is over 1,000.000 tons a
year. This season, owing to the war, the
output will not be more than 100,000 to
150,000 tons.

The report Is that New York newspaper
dom is to take some lessons In Journalism
from a southerner; the west Is not to have
all the honor of teaching the Gotham
newspaper Idea how to shoot. Mr. Adolph
Ochs, editor of the Chattanooga Times, is
eaid to have made arrangements with the
owners of the New York Times by which
he will have sole charge of that paper.
With Mr. Ochs at the head of the concern,
the Times will, of course, continue to be

The police authorities in Chicago and
other cities in which Holmes the murderer
says In his confession that he killed peo
ple, have little faith In what he says. They
are convinced that he has told falsehoods
all the way through the grewsome story,
and that many of his pretended victims are
alive and well. One of his victims, a man
whose murder Holmes describes In detail,
has been found in Chicago flagging trains
■t a railroad crossing. It Is told that
Holmes received $5,000 from a syndicate of
newspapers for the alleged confession. He
may now be able to sell another confes

papers out of that sum.

Our Atlanta dispatches state that the
state house officers are becoming alarm
ed lest the senatorial primary should
have the effect of bringing about the de
feat of the democratic state ticket. Well,
a little scare will have the effect of teach
ing them a little sound political sense.
They have stood Idly by while Mr. Crisp
and his coterie of friends were thinking
of nothing but the election of Mr. Crisp
to the Senate. They did not raise their
voice* to protest against the senatorial
primary, for which there is no authority
anywhere, and which cannot help lessen
ing rhe chances for the success of the
democratic ticket.
Any man with an ounce of political sense
can see that if the senatorial candidate of
the democrats is chosen in June there is
going to be a slump in the interest In the
election In October.
The populist party In this state Is not
dead by any means. It is not even asleep.
In fact, It appears to be guided by more
political acumen than Is being displayed
by some of the democratic leaders. The
result of the last state election ought to
be sufficient to satisfy any reasonably in
telligent democrat that the democratic
parry will need all of its votes in the Oc
tober contest. Especially will this be the
case if the republicans fuse with the pop
ulists.
When the state committee refused to
recommend that the senatorship question
be submitted to the June primary the
matter should have been dropped at once
and forever. But Mr. Crisp and his friends
refused to drop it. He and his advisers
thought he had a better chance for win
ning in the June primary than he would
have In the legislature, and, therefore,
regardless of the Interests and welfare
of the party they set about forcing the
senatorial issue Into the primary.
It is already evident that not nearly all
the counties are going to express them
selves on the senatorship question in
June. A majority of them may not do
so. Those that don’t will show more po
litical sagacity than those that do. They
will have an issue in October that will
bring out a full democratic vote and the
signs are Increasing that a full democratic
vote throughout the state will be needed.
A Filled Cheese Congress.
“The purpose of this bill,” said Mr. Gros
venor of Ohio In the House the other day,
"is to put cheese upon an honest basis.”
The bill under discussion was that known
as the "filled cheese bill,” which the House
passed with a promptness denoting that
it was glad to discover it has struck some
thing that was not too big for it. For
months and months the House—controlled
by the republican party, the party of “bus
iness sense”—has been urged by the coun
try at large to do something towards put
ting the national finances upon an “honest
basis,” a basis that will relieve tjie sit
uation and keep the money of the country
as good as it is now. But the House has
been unable to do the first solitary thing
in Ihqt direction. The problem Is too great
for it. But when it came to a matter of
cheese—filled cheese—that was just about
the House's size, and 'the question was
grappled in a masterful manner.
Filled cheese, according to the eminent
gentleman from Ohio, quoted above, Is a
fraud; a libel upon the cow, a perversion
of the hog, and a deceiver of mankind.
It is made of milk from which all butter
fat has been extracted, and for which
"neutral lard” Is substituted. “Neutral
lard” is Itself a kind of fraudulent affair.
It seems, which is manufactured from leaf
lard. The extraction of the butter fats
from the milk and the substitution of
"neutral lard” permits of the manufacture
of a cheese that looks like the genuine
"full cream” article, at a considerably less
cost. While the bogus cheese looks all
right. It Is off in taste, and hard to di
gest. Congressman Dolliver of lowa says
It Is the kind of cheese that Is most fre
quently served in the boarding houses
where the boarder has to eat a piece of
cheese to digest his pie, and then has to
eat another piece of pie to digest his
cheese.
For the protection of the boarding house
victim, and the libeled cow, and the per
verted hog, the House has. therefore, put
filled cheese Into the category with oleo
margarine. It must be sold only under
Its real name. Filled cheese must no
longer go before a confiding public under
the label of “New York Full Cream.” The
manufacturer of the article is to be taxed
S4OO a year, the wholesale dealer, $250 a
year, and the retailer sl2 a year. It is said
the effect of the bill, if it should become
a law, would not be to stop the manufac
ture of bogus cheese. The manufacturers
would still be able to make a big profit,
supplying boarding houses and lunch
counters, and other places where the con
sumer never sees the brand of the cheese
he eats. But such a law would create
some more offices—inspectors, etc.—and
if there is anything that a republican
congressman is partial to It is the pat
ronage of public office.
Freehold, N. J., was the scene the other
day of an uncanny sensation. Friends
were "sitting up” with the supposed
corpse of Miss Heppenstali, who had died
of fever. During the night Mr. Burton
went tq the room where the “corpse” was
to moisten the eyelids to prevent discolo
ration. Having finished the task he tunn
ed to leave the room, but before going out
he turned and glanced in the direction of
the icebox. To his horror and fright he
saw the supposed corpse sitting bolt up
right and gazing at him with wide open
eyes. He fainted from sheer fright. The
attention of the other watchers was at
tracted by the commotion. A physician
was summoned, and it was found that
Miss Heppenstali was not dead, but had
been in a state of suspended animation.
There was believed to be no hope for her
recovery, however.

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, APRIL Hi. 1896.
Carlisle to Wage-Earners.
Lack of space alone prevents us from
i publishing the whole of Mr. Carlisle's ad
mirable address to wage-earners, delivered
in Chicago yesterday. We present In this
Issue extracts from It which are sufficient
to show, beyond the question of a doubt,
that free sliver coinage at the ratio of
16 to 1 would drive comfort from the
homes of workmen and make it more dif
ficult for them to get the necessaries of
life. It would do this in two ways. It
would bring business and Industrial en
terprises to a standstill, for a time at
least, because it would cause a money
panic of vast proportions, and It would
reduce the purchasing power of their
wages about one-half. There are dema
gogues who will say that wages would rise
in proportion to the depreciation of the
currency. What reason Is'there for think
ing wages would rise? Mr. Carlisle points
out that experience shows that if wages
increased at all the increase would be
slow—so slow, in fact, as to be hardly
perceptible. The average pay per day of
workmen is now larger than at any other
period in the country's history, and the
purchasing power of a dollar is far great
er than it was when the country was on
a paper basis. It is apparent, therefore,
that It is to the Interest of the wage-earn
ers that the present standard—the gold
standard—should be maintained. 1$ the
silver standard should be adopted as pro
posed by the silverites, not only would
the purchasing power of their earnings
be reduced one-half, but the
value of their savings—money
which they have deposited In sav
ings institutions for old age—would be
reduced to the same extent. Mr. Carlisle's
Chicago address should be carefully read
by every wage earner In the country.
Crisp'* Curious Demand,
In the speeches which Mr. Crisp de
livered in his discussions with Mr. Smith,
he insisted upon having tiho conditions
Which existed prior 'to 1873 restored. Well,
what were the conditions which existed
prior to that year? They were that our
mints were open to the free coinage
of silver, but the commercial value of
the silver dollar was greater than the
commercial value of the gold dollar. Con
sequently no silver dollars were coined.
Does Mr. Crisp want the conditions that
existed prior to 1873 restored? We do not
'think he does. He wants only one of the
conditions that existed prior to that year
restored—that is, the wants the mints open
ed to the free coinage of silver. But if
other conditions that existed at that time
existed now, if the commercial value of
a silver dollar was three cents greater
than the commercial value of the gold
dollar, as it was at that time, would
Mr. Crisp or anybody else demand that
the coinage of Silver should be made free?
We are sure 'he would not.
Asa matter of fact, then, Mr. Orisp
does not want the conditions that existed
prior to 1873 restored, because that would
amount to saying that 'he does not want
any more silver dollars coined. He sim
ply wants the government to make 51 cents
worth of silver a legal tender dollar.
He wants to degrade the currency. If
silver was worth more 'than gold at the
ratio of 16 to 1, as it was in 1873, the
wouldn't be making speeches urging that
the conditions that existed prior to 1873
be restored. Even the silver mine owners
would be satisfied to let the mints be
closed to silver.
As an illustration of what the calamity
howling cheap money advocates in the
south are doing for this section of the
country, Mr. G. Wilfred Pearce sends the
following to the New Y”ork Sun: “I have
a letter from a distinguished clergyman
in Great Britain who recently organized
a body of 250 well-to-do farmers, having
$200,000 cash to buy and settle a tract of
land in Texas. Before he perfected ar
rangements the shrewd Canadian Pacific
(railroad) agents got among the colonists
and gave each person copies of calamity
howls, speeches made by southern popu
lists. The result is that the settlers have
decided to go to Canada. Every person
in the party would have been worth $lO,-
000 to Texas in ten years.” Mr. Pearce
says the Canadian Pacific railroad Is flood
ing England. Scotland and Ireland with
copies of the 16 to 1 free silver calamity
howls that are being emitted in the south,
for the purpose of showing that In the
southern part of the L T nited States, espe
cially in “Georgia, Alabama, South Caro
lina and Florida the people are nearly
naked, short of food and hirdly better
off than the fellaheen of India and Egypt.”
The purpose of the Canadian Pacific is to
divert, settlers from the southern states
to Canada.
The 'hills and the plains of the rugged
west were torn with a mighty rush of
wind. No trains moved on the road from
Denver to Trinidad, except such as were
burled through space by the terrific and
all moving blast; and these trains were
subsequently found festooned upon the
highest mountain peaks. From Cripple
Creek to Denver there were from time
ito time Showers of what people thought
to be mud, some of it red and some of
it black. But It was blood; the mingled
blood of the poor, wailing victims of
the heartless demon of the money pow
er, and the blood of Wall street, drawn
by the pitchfork of a doughty champion
of 16 'to 1. The Moses of South Carolina,
the stable boy of the Senate, was de
livering a speech in Kentucky, with his
face set 'toward Colorado. The magic of
his wondrous voice had transmogrified 'his
figures of speech into substantial enti
tles, and the cyclone from his lungs
had turned the deluge upon the. unsus
pecting west. He should have faced to
ward New York.
Who Is to run with McKinley? There
has not as yet been a great deal of serious
discussion In the public prints of this mat
ter. But there is no doubt that there will
be a plenty of patriots ready to sacrilh-e
iht-mseives upon the altar of the vice presl
dcncy for the good of their country. New
York alone 1* said to contain two or three
of such patriots. Including J. Bloat Kussett

Albany will be entered as a student at
Eton next year is causing some stir in
the college. Arthur Benson, the eldest

there is every probability that he will
be joined by Prince Alexander of Batten

CURRENT COMMENT.
May Be Holding Them in Reserve.
From the Columbus Enquirer-Sun (Dem.).
Perhaps Mr. Crisp Is saving his reasons
why this country should undertake single
handed, to make fifty cents worth of sil
ver equal a gold dollar until he meets Mr.
dußignon on the stump. It is to be hoped
that he will get down to business then and
at least try to give some reason for the
faith that is in him.
Applicable Everywhere.
From the Baltimore Herald (Dem.)
Business men of Baltimore owe it alike
to themselves and the best interests of
their city and state to speak out fearlessly
on the money question. It is likely to
overshadow every other issue in the com
ing campaign, and the more positive and
emphatic the opinions of business men the
less effect the sophistry and machinations
of the politicians will have on the minds
of the people.
Warning to the Democracy.
From the Philadelphia Times (Ind).
If It (the democratic national conven
tion) shall present a candidate and a plat
form sanctioning the cheap money craze,
the democracy will not only be defeated by
the largest majority ever given against
any party in a contested election, but it
will have no future. It must now choose
the policy of a sound financial svstem that
will command the confidence of the civiliz
ed world, or It must die unlamented.
Anti-Lynching Laws.
Charleston News and Courier (Dem).
Ohio has followed the example of South
Carolina by enacting an anti-lynching
law, which makes a county liable for dam
ages to the estate of the victim and the
taxpayers of the county in which the
lynching occurs pay these damages. The
law meets with general apiaroval and is
to be given a fair showing should the nec
essity arise. The principle upon which the
law is based is local government, that each
community or locality must be held re
sponsible for the preservation of law and
order.
FKzhngh tee’s Appoln Iment.
From the Columbia (8. C.) State (Dem.).
We further think that his appolnment
implies the desire of the President at one
stroke to defer recognition of Cuban bel
ligerency and to stffure competent Judg
ment upon the military situation In the
island. If he shall wait, as he probably
will, for a report from Oen. Lee on ihls
subject, it will be t least a month lie
fore he acts—and we judge that hi* pur
pose 1* to defer a decision until rhe rainy
season sets in. Assuming that hr still
seek* information as to the chances of
the Cubans in their contest, hr has chosen
the right man, we think. Fits Lee, as a
cavalryman. Is not apt to be prejudiced
against the merits of a cavalry campaign
like that of the Insurgents. We do not
know how he stand* on the Cuban ques
tion, but we are satisfied that he will pass
fair judgment on the military situation.
ITEMS OF INTEREST.
—Sixteen presidents of the United States
were clean shaven, says the New York
Pres*. Lincoln was the first occupant of
the white house to wear a beard, and
Grant was the first to wear a mustache.
It was. up to the time of Lincoln, consid
ered gross and unclean to wear either
beard or mustache. Lincoln had no mus
tache. Allison, one of the republican can
didates. has none. Grant. Hayes. Gar
field and Harrison wore full beards and
mustaches. Arthur wore Dundrearys,
with a small mustache part of the time.
Cleveland has a moderate mustache, and
is the only one of the presidents to wear a
mustache without a beard. Whitney has a
small mustache, stiff as Rill himself can be
when he meets a man with an income of
less than and he keeps it cropped
and chewed. It Is a bristling mustache,
and is indicative of Bill's character. Bill
Morrison has a full beard of soft, wavy
hair when he allows it to grow unmolested
for three or four weeks. Campbell of Ohio
has only a mustache. Carlisle could not
raise a beard or mustache to save his life.
His cheek is too hard. He would be a hor
rible looking object with either. He went
off fishing once to let both grow, and when,
after a few weeks, he looked in a glass he
nearly fainted. The sight of him caused a
snake to shed Its skin. Pattison. the boy
governor of Pennsylvania candidate,
wears a mustache. Bayard is clean shav
en. Stevenson. Hill, Matthews. Olney and
Lamont all wear mustaches. Hill has
small patches of black hair in front of his
ears. Quay is the only republican candi
date to wear a mustache.
—A genuine oriental harem is now be
ing exhibited throughout Europe. The
manager of the Berlin Panopticum has
persuaded a pasha living in the holy city
of Kayroman to exhibit his harem to the
unfaithful. This is the first time a Mo
hammedan has ever dared to disregard
the very strict laws of his creed in such
a way. The story of how it all came about
is quite curious. The jwsha, the proprie
tor of the harem, became bankrupt, and
worried much about his inability to keep
up In due style his very numerous fam
ily. The manager, who happened to be In
Egypt to engage attractions for the side
shows of the coming exposition in Berlin,
heard of the pasha's difficulties, and pre
vailed upon him to accept a magnificent
sum for a six months' contract to exhibit
himself and family in Europe. The pasha,
who had to choose between a certain for
tune among the unbelievers or absolute
ruin staring him in the face at home,
was persuaded to accept the manager's
offer, and thus his household is now to
be seen for 50 pfennigs (12 cents )a head
at Berlin. Sure enough, the pasha showed
excellent taste in the selection of his
wives, all of whom are very good look
ing and are considered great beauties from
an oriental standpoint. There are a num
ber of very handsome children from 6 to
16 years of age. and some twenty female
slaves attend to all the duties of the house
hold In full view of the onlookers. The
most Interesting part of this show is not
the persons themselves, but the life they
lead In the harem, about which much has
been written, but very little Is known.
Several of the pasha's wives have extra
ordinary accomplishments in the way of
singing, playing musical instruments and
dancing. They are very clever handwork
ers, and while away much of their time
with embroidery and other similar occu
patrons. There are, all told, torty-seven
persons in this household.
—An interesting disquisition Of the his
tory and practice of auction sales was
given last night by Mr. James F. Field to
the members of t'he Auctioneers' Insti
tute. at their rooms in Chancery lane,
says the London Telegraph. He pointed
out that the profession was one of the
oldest in tihe world, for a description of
wife auctions was given by Herodotus.
The system appeared to have been the
very reverse of the way in which mod
erns dispose of valuable chattels. The
fairest were first put up and knocked
down to the highest bidder; then the next
in order of comeliness, and so on to the
damsels who were equi-distant between
beauty and plainness, while those Uesti
ture of attractions were given away gra
ttis. The word “auction” was acclima
tized in England about the beginning of
the eighteenth century, and since thait
time many forms of conducting sales had
been used; sometimes by sandglass, some
times by burning an inch of the candle,
'the highest bidder before the flame ex
pired being the purchaser, and now by
the hammer. The methods of bidding
have been and are still equally singu
lar. One gentleman, well known to many
an auction ball, seldom enters completely
a saleroom, but, leaning round the doer
jamb, signifies his desire to acquire a
bargain by a wink, which is certainly
unmistakable. Others open their mouths
silently and give signs of apoplexy most
alarming to behold, others smile, frown
or tremble, and. Indeed, the methods of
some are perplexing; others simply cry
"Yes." A nod is, however, the common
method. The most singular auctioneer of
whom Mr. Field ever heard was a silent
female, who handed a glass of brandy to
every bidder, and he who got the last
glass was the buyer. Probably this bears
somewhat on the custom for so many
years in vogue of Indulging purchasers
and hangers-on at auctions with pota
tions. He was glad to notice thait this
system is dying out.
—Cassell's Saturday Journal, in a re
cent issue, records the gastronomic tastes
of the reigning sovereigns of Europe.
Queen Victoria, it appears, is devoted to
oatmeal soup. She likes pickled cucum
bers, and roast beef is always served. She
drinks white sherry out of a silver cup.
According to a custom instituted by George
11, the name of the cook who prepared
a dish is announced when it is placed
upqp the table. The King and Queen or
Italy, when the royal guests are exclu
sively Italian, revel in spaghetti, garlic,
onions, and oil. Frltto is another favor
ite dish. It is made of artichokes, chick
ens' livers, calves’ brains and cock's
combs. The Grand Duchess of Bader;
makes her own coffee, while her husband
grows his own wine and is his own head
cellarman. Both delight in lentil soup,
seasoned with vinegar, and Frankfort sau
sages. The pope is very simple in his
tastes. His breakfast consists of a roil
and cafe au lait. For dinner, which is
eaten at 1 o'clock, he has soup, meats,
pastry and fried potatoes or other vege
tables. At this repast he drinks a single
glass of old Burgundy. At 6 o’clock he
takes a glass of elaret and bouillon, and
at 10:30 a supper composed of cold-meat
and another cup of bouillon. King Os
car of Sweden likes the national dish of
raw salmon preserved In earth and a soup
composed of boiled barley and whipped
cream. In case lie Is deposed he is well
trained to conduct a boarding house, as
ail the remainders of roasts are made In
to hash. The Emperor of Austria likes
spaetzle, a kind of macaroni, and apple
wine; while the food of the empress con
sists of cold meats, fruits, the Juice of
raw beefsteak, and tea. She is very care
ful of her diet, as she is solicitious to
preserve her figure. The present Em
peror of Russia is a man of moderate hab
its in eating. To provide for his simple
wants he has a French chef, who ranks
as colonel in the army. This function
ary is profusely decorated, and has under
his command at court banquets about
1,200 subordinates. On ordinary occasions
four head intendants, twenty-four sub
lntendants, thirty-four lackeys, sixty bur
fet moujiks, two chefs, and four under
chefs are in service.
