George Vanderbilt has Just Imported
ten cases of books on forestry to be ad
ded to his library at Biltmore, N. C. It
is Mr. Vanderbilt’s purpose to make his
North Carolina castle a school of scien

cent library Is to be free.
Gov. Altgeld is not considerate of his
friends. The other day Herr Most, the
anarchist leader of New York, paid Alt
geld the compliment of saying he was a
great man, and the good friend of Most
and all the anarchists. And now Altgeld
has referred to Most as "a dirty fellow.'*
Most never said he wasn’t dirty; he likes
dirt, and he likes Altgeld.
A Chioago railroad which does a large
suburban passenger business has made
the uniform rate of five cents a ride for
all points on its lines within a radius of
twenty miles from the center erf the city.
This rate Is probably the lowest in the
country, and will no doubt either build
up the suburbs which the road reaches or
else prove a serious drain upon the com
pany’s treasury.
At a recent meettng of physicians In
Montreal, some interesting facts with re
gard to the use of Behring’s diphtheria
serum were discussed. Reports were made
by 600 physicians in all parts of the United
States and Canada. The number of cases
covered in the reports was 5,794, which
showed a death rate of 12.3 per cent. The
cases with a three-days’ limit showed a
death rate of only 7.3 per cent.
It is rather tough on Capt. Wiborg, late
of the filibustering steamer Horsa, that
he should be the sole exception among the
many persons carried before the courts
on the charge of having violated our
neutrality laws. The others go scot free;
he goes to Jail. At the same time, It
should be remembered that Capt. Wi
borg has been convicted of a serious vio
lation of the laws, and if others equally
guilty have escaped, it does not mitigate
his offense In the least.
The Hon. Patrick Walsh must enjoy
a great deal some of his associations in
Chicago. He is shouting himself hoarse
along with men who have knives up
their sleeves for Catholics, and who have
Jumped on poor old Uncle Dick Bland be
cause his good wife is a Catholic. There
is Allen W. Thurman, for instance, who
said something about “setting up a Cath
olic altar in the white house" in the event
of Mrs. Bland going there to live; Mr.
Walsh must find him very companionable.
Ex-President Harrison has %old that
famous Cape May house and lot for less
than half it cost him. It will be remem
bered that along about 1592 Postmaster
General Wanamaker and some other gen
tlemen, including a land boomer named
Hamilton who had some Cape May lots
for sale, conceived and carried out the
idea of presenting to the wife of the Pres
ident a lot and cottage at Cape May.
Afterwards, when a great deal of talk
had arisen with regard to the matter,
President Harrison pin his hand into his
pocket and paid JIO.IJOO for the place. He
never occupied the cottage more than a
few months, however.
The 9omd Money Conference.
it Is quite evident that there will not be
a bolt at Chicago—that Is. the sound
money delegates will not leave the con
vention in a body, but no one can forsee
what course the sound money democrats
will take after the convention adjourns.
The conference of the sound money dem
o tats w-| h o.jcurreJ nt Chicago on
Tuesday night was what might have been
expected after the action of the conven
tion in turning down Senator Hill.
There was no good reason why Senator
Hill should have been refused the tem-
I>urary chairmanship. It U only a position
of honors, carrying with it no power. To
have acquiesced In the action of the na
tional committee would not have injured
the cause of silver in the least. It would
have been a small concession to the sound
money faction and would have had a
harmonizing effect. The sliver faction,
however, preferred to risk the disruption
of the party rather than grant the least
concession.
They say they warned the sound morey
men that they would not permit Senator
Hill to be temporary chairman. Suppose
they did. Their warning does not make
their action any the less Inexcusable.
The committee appointed by the sound
money men at their conference Is to re
port on August 1 as to the feeling in be
half of a separate organization. By that
time it will be easy to understand what
the wish of the sound money democrats
in the matter Is. The populists will have
held tHeir national convention und the
campaign will have been begun.
It is greatly to be regretted that the
sllverltes are permitting their feelings to
get the better of th< ir Judgments.
It would be much better for them and for
the democratic party If they should use
their strength In fighting the republican
party Instead of trying to crush the
sound money faction of their own party.
They may be confident of the success
of the cause of free sliver coinage now,
but they will likely have reason before the
campaign is over to desire the assistance
of the sound money democrats. Instead
therefore of endeavoring to antagonize
them they should make every reasonable
concession In the Interest of harmony.
Hlaek lu rn's Ailvlee.
Yesterday, In the Chicago convention.
Senator Blackburn closed a speech by ad
vising the delegates to be temperate and
conservative, but manly and brave. “Do
not," he said, "fail to Rather the fruits
of the splendid victory you have already
gained, and let every man, whether he
desires a single standard or a double
standard, say, about all things, ‘1 am a
democrat.’ "
We have no doubt that Senator Black
burn was sincere In making such a point
ed reference to the slogan, "lam a dem
ocrat,” to which Senator Hill gave promi
nence, and doubtless he me*nt also to
pay Senator Hill a delicate compliment.
It appeared to so understood, because
when he sat down there were calls for
Hill.
But It was no later than Tuesday last
that Bcnator BUI was turned down by
the Chicago convention—Hill, the man
■wTio brought into prominence the senti
ment, ’I am a democrat.’’ Why then
should a single standard or double stan
dard democrat go about proclaiming "1
am a democrat” when the national demo
cratic convention puts the stamp of its
disapproval upon a man who makes an
announcement of that ki^id?
When Senator Blackburn was making
his speech yesterday he must have
thought he was addressing a gathering of
democrats of the old fashioned genuine
kind, and not a convention bossed by Alt
gelds and Tillmans. If he had allowed
his mind to dwell for a moment on the
proceedings of the day before and recalled
the fate of the man who made famous the
slogan, "I am a democrat,” he would
hardly have given the advice he did to
his fellow democrats.
A McKinley boomer saj-s the republican
presidential nominee never socks to amuse
his audience when he Is making a stump
speech; that he never tells a story, never
indulges in poetry or flights of oratory,
and never abuses the opposing party.
What a very dull fellow on the stump MaJ.
McKinley must be! If he attempts to
make stump speeches this campaign, and
thinks he can stuff people on tariff, dry
tariff, all the time, he is pretty apt to
find himself talking to empty benches be
fore he has gone very far. Tills is one
campaign in which he will have to follow
the recent example of the Hon. Charles
F. Crisp of this state; that is, develop the
faculty of cracking jokes and telling fun
ny stories.
Gen. Antonio Ezeta, the warlike Salva
dorean who some time ago failed signally
to capture a Georgia wife, is down in Pan
ama watching with an eagle eye for an op
portunity to pounce upon Salvador and
make 'himself the president of the country.
His brother Carlos, who was once presi
dent of the country and was some time
since extremely anxious to upset the exist
ing government and get back Into the ex
ecutive chair, has got tired of the revo
lutionary business, and has concluded to
become a resident of the United States,
with a home in New York. He is under
stood to have made several barrels of mon
ey during his incumbency of the presi
dency of little Salvador.
The mutations of polities bring about
strange results. For instance, many of the
leaders at Chicago who a day or two ago
were dead-set against -David B. -Hill for
temporary chairman, were four years ago
doing their level best to elect him to the
presidency of the United States. Hill stands
now precisely where he stood then. He
was then a good enough democrat to gov
ern the nation; now he is not a good
enough democrat, according to his late
supporters, to govern a convention for half
an hour.
THE MOKXIXG NEWS: THURSDAY, JULY 9. IS9<5.
Dangerous Talk.
The tone of and the sentiment
expressed la some of the speeches
delivered In the Chicago convention
yesterday are calculated to put
wrong Impressions in the mir.ds of
unthinking people, and to do a great
deal of harm. If one read these speeches
without knowing the national democratic
convention was in session he would be
inclined to the opinion that they were de
livered at a gathering composed of such
men as H< rr Most and his red flag fol
lowers rather than of the representatives
of the great democratic party assembled
for the purpose of nominating a President
and Vice President of the United States.
The talk of British gold influencing the
people of this country has only been heard
heretofore from republicans, when attack
ing the democrats for urging a reform of
the tariff laws. Now It comes from dem
ocrats who charge fellow democrats with
being influenced by British gold.
No intelligent man believes that ar.y
American is controlled by British gold or
British anything In reaching his political
convictions, and no intelligent man, ex
cept in a,reckless political harangue,
would assert that he Is. When, there
fore, governor’s of states and United
States senators make such an assertion
they strike as much of a blow at republi
can Institutions as do the anarchists by
their wild and reckless threats against
tho existing order of things. What they
say will bo believed by those who are
ever on the look out for an excuse to
create disorder and trouble.
Many of tho democrats who sent these
men to Chicago to represent them may
believe In free silver coinage at the 16 to
1 ratio, but they don’t believe their fellow
democrats who differ with them on the
silver question are corrupted by foreign
gold.or foreign influences of any sort.
The purpose of some of the most promi
nent leaders In the Chicago convention
seems to be to arouse the passions of the
worst elements of the country. The tree
they aro planting may not bring forth
fruit this year, but there are those who
will see and suffer from the strife which
tho Altgelds and Tillmans are inviting.
An Ingruteful World.
One of the most widely known of the
woman reformers in this country Is Miss
Phoebe Cousins. It makes no difference
that she did have a row with the mana
gers of the world’* fair at Chicago which
resulted In her Involuntary retirement
from a secretaryship for that Institution.
She is nevertheless a reformer, somewhat
on the line of Miss Anna Dickinson. And
like that lady, she finds towards the end
that the results she has achieved appear
very small in comparison with the efforts
expended.
In Miss Cousins’ case, especially. It ap
pears that not only are the results mea
ger, but after the reformer has devoted
the best years of her life to the work of
reform, she finds herself with strength
falling and purse well nigh empty. This
is gathered from a letter written by her
from Los Angeles, Cal., to a friend in St.
Louis. Continuing, the letter expresses
the conviction, arrived at through her
own experience, that the world Is an un
grateful Jade, and is not worth wasting
one's time on.
Says Miss Cousins: “Don't waste your
energies In trying to reform the world; it
doesn't want to be reformed. Make for
yourself the only safe harbor tn time of
trouble—the sweet security of a peaceful
home—and let the world take care of It
self; for it will never take care of you in
your time of adversity." Once there was
a time when Miss Cousins would have de
nounced as treasonable any such utter
ance by an advanced woman. Time and
bitter experience seem to have made a
pessimist of her, however, and she is
now ready to dissuade other reformers
from going forth to save the world.
It is needless to say that Miss Cousins’
Inferable opinion that the world Is going
to the dogs, because it has not accepted
the innovations she preached, 1s not cor
rect. The world is better to-day than it
was when Miss Cousins began her cru
sade. Whether she did a great deal to
make it better is an open question. But
it is advancing all the time, slowly but
surely. It may be ungrateful in not tak
ing care of its reformers in their time of
adversity. That Is a matter of individ
ual opinion.
The bad feeling between Eugene Debs
and Chief Arthur of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers has not been soft
ened into brotherly love and confidence.
A labor union at Cleveland the other day
denounced Mark Hanna, McKinley's man
ager, as an enemy and oppressor of labor.
Chief Arthur had a word to say in Mr.
Hanna’s defense. WJiereupon Mr. Debs
calls upon labor to put “the head of this
annex of railroad corporations" In the
pillory along with Hanna, “where he be
longs.”
Mr. George Fred Williams of Massachu
setts, who said the other day that “the
time has come for a great uprising," and
that he intended “to be In It, too,” is re
ferred to by some of his late constitu
ents as an opportunist. That term, be
ing interpreted, means a fellow who is
always on the lookout for the main
chance. It would probably not be far
amiss to say that the majority of the po
litical bosses in the Chicago convention
belong to the George Fred Williams class.
McKinley is a candidate pledged to tho
support of legislation in behalf of private
interests, to increase private fortunes at
the expense of the people by means of a
high protective tariff. There are few demo
crats who will vote for McKinley.

CURRENT COMMENT.
Makes Col. gingerly Slek.
From the Philadelphia Record (Dem.).
The news from Chicago makes the
Record sick of politics and politicians.
The Intelligence that It Is possible once
more to catch an occasional salmon in
the Delaware river is of more Immediate
Interest than the result of the catch
with the presldi ntlal bait thrown among
the snapping silverites who are contest
ing for the nomination.
A Promising Raid.
From the Hartford Times (Dem ).
There is probably at least $100,000,000
worth (at present prices) of sliver bullion
In this country. It is now worth less than
70 cents an ounce. If Bland or Teller
could be elected president and the treas
ury were to suspend gold payments, the
bullion would possibly rise to one dollar
an ounce temporarily. This would mean
an Immediate profit of *30,000,000 to the
silver syndicate. No wonder W. A. Clark,
the Montana mine owner, who Is reported
to be worth $20,000,000, Is going to Chicago
In his special car to help the good work
along. It Is the most cheerful and prom
ising raid on the accumulated wealth
of the country that has been conceived
or undertaken since our government was
founded.
“Toadying to Teller.”
From the Augusta (Ga.) Herald (Dem.).
The course pursued by several promi
nent Georgians in endorsing the candi
dacy of Teller for the presidency has
occasioned great amazement throughout
the state, notwithstanding the fact that
the rapid succession of strange alliances
has prepared the public mind for almost
anything. The effort to find a sober and
.conservative man among the free sliver
advocates has been about the most hope
less task since Lot vainly sifted Sodom
to find ten godly men. The extremities
to which they are willing to go in pur
suit of their end Is truiy appalling, and
new emphasis Is lent to the fact hv the
recent endorsement, on the part of Mr.
Walsh and others, of a man who until
two weeks ago was a full-blooded re
publican. It is an ominous sign of the
times.
After Death the Judgment.
Charleston News and Courier (Dem.).
But the convention will not last long,
and what then? After death comes the
judgment. Northern anti eastern states
which have been faithful to the south
anti the democratic party tn all times of
distress and tribulation will not be with
the south in its wild career towards
financial ruin. Hundreds of thousands of
democrats all over the country who have
never voted lor any but the democratic
candidates will not vote this year for
democratic candidates who stand on a
free silver platform. The gold standard
people could have controlled the conven
tion at Chicago had they not permitted
the party primaries to go against them by
default—we may be sure that after the
demonstrations in Chicago this week they
will not permit the election in November
to go against them by default. The is
sue has been forced upon them and they
will have to meet it.
NVhat I* the Coat?
From the Chicago Chronicle (Dem.).
The silver mine owners of America are
the richest men In the world.
The free and unlimited coinage of sliver
at the ratio of 16 to 1 would enable three
men to make dollars out of 58 cents worth
of silver.
Free coinage would double or quadruple
their wealth.
Free coinage would ruin every second
man not a silver mine owner, and would
cut down by one-half the earnings and the
savings af every man or woman who has
a fixed income.
In these days of syndicates and boodle
Is it at all wonderful that “democrats”
turn populists and that Chicago Is filled
with shrlekers and shouters of stiver, all
of them living like nabobs at first-class
hotels?
How much has It cost the bonanza sil
ver mining trust to corrupt a portion of
the democratic party?
How much more is it to cost the bonanza
silver mining trust to persuade a demo
cratic convention to nominate a republi
can for president?

of England is the only bird, except hawks
and falcons, whkm has been trained to as

yard long, very strong and heavy, rather
quaint than beautiful, whether flying,

are now fishing from tne rocks in which
their petrified ancestors are embedded.

—A feathered tough met Its death cu
riously the other day at Kingstelgnton,
South Devon, England, according to Gex
ald Waller, says the London Field The
English cuckoo lays its egg? in the nests
of other birds nearly after the fashion of
tbe American cowbird, so that the birds
Imposed upon bring up the cuckoo's
young along with its own. One cuckoo
discovered the nestof a pair of pied wag
tails, or “dishwashers,” In a clay pit near
Kingstelgnton. and. as it seemed In every
way a favorable place to deposit one of
her eggs, she started to enter the nest
for that purpose. The nest was peculiar
ly situated between the Scotch fir pole,
which had the bark still on. and the wall.
There wc.s plenty of space for the pied
wagtails, luit it was a tight squeeze for
the cuckoo. She got into the nest, though,
but there she found herself in trouble. She
couldn’t back out, because her feathers
pointed the wrong way, and she couldn't
go forward. She was still alive when one
of the workmen found her, but died af
ter being extricated.
—A statistician who has devoted many
weary hours to the subject has figured
out that New Yorkers consume 80,000,000
dozen eggs a year, 29b,800 pounds of but
ter a day, 297,000 gallons of milk, 5,6u0 gal
lons of cream, and 1.2 b) gallons of con
densed milk dally, Including cheese, for
which $10,0110,000 a year is paid, the aggre
gate value of the dairy products consumed
In New York city being $44,450,0u0. He
fixes the valuation of meats of various
kinds sold to New Yorkers each year at
amotit $58,000,000. This does not Include
poultry, from 2U0.009 to 400,000 head of which
are sold weekly. On a conservative esti
mate, he places the quantity of fish con
sumed yearly- at 43.0b0.000 pounds, not
Including oysters, clams, crabs, and other
shellfish. The quantities of provender al
ways on hand the perishable goods being
kept In col l storage warehouses) leads
the food statistician to conclude that, were
the metropolis cut off from all the points
whence her food supplies are drawn, her
people could live In plenty for four months,
and even manage to get along for half
a year without slaughtering the street car
hors'-s or making a rat stew.
—Wilhelm Tappert, at present probably
Germany’s ablest musical critic, relates
that he has counted 224 pianos in the Ber
lin Industrial exposition, of which num
ber there were but 29 grands and 195 up
rights. He sadly comments upon the en
tire absence of squares. Looking back up
on the beginnings of German music at its
best, he claims that the serious thinker
could not dream of a Mozart, Bach or
Beethoven sitting either at a grand or at
t'he modern upright. All pictures giving
authentic portraits of the great musical
talents reproduce them seated before the
now obsolete clavichord or square piano.
Tappert thinks that the grand takes up too
much of a common piece of furniture to
allow of inspiration in one musically in
clined. For the sake of composers and all
such people in whom sentiment predomi
nates t'he manufacture of square pianos
should again be taken up. Another matter
that he mentions is the variety- of patent
ed Inventions for the purpose of recording
pieces of music improvised upon the piano.
While the names differ, the system re
mains almost always the same. There is a
musical composing machine, a pianograph
a melograph.a music recording machine.a
music writing apparatus and even a music
al note typewriter. The one which is exhib
ited by a teacher of the name of Schmeil,
of Madgeburg, Is probably the most relia
ble of all. One of Berlin’s most prominent
musicians played a chromatic scale stand
ing in front of t'he piano with the exact
ness peculiar to him; the apparatus
promptly registered this scale, and Schmeil
now exhibits the sheet of paper upon wmch
it is recorded, proudly showing its perfec
tion.

3.500 children, belonging mostly- to the
poorest foreign Jews, and has a staff of
100 teachers. It is well known that this
is Lord Rothschild's pet institution, and
that were it not for his munificent sup
port the school would be unable to meet
Us vast expenditure. It is owing to his
generosity that free breakfasts are given
every morning to all children who wish
to take them, no questions being asked.
Again, he presents every boy with a suit
of clothes and a pair of boots and every
girl with a dress and a pair of boots in
the month of April, near the Jewish
Passover. An Idea of the poverty of the
children may be gleaned from the fact
that not more than 2 per cent, of them
decline to avail themselves of this char
ity. A second pair of boots is offered in
the month of October to every child whose
boots are not likely to last during the
approaching winter. It is scarcely neces
sary to state that few do not get them A
very popular feature in the school is the
savings hank department, instituted by
' the kindly- president. In order to encour
age habits of thrift he allows an interest
of 10 per cent, per annum on all savings,
the said savings not to exceed £5 is a year
The teachers are also permitted to avaii
themselves of the benefits of this bank
the maximum savings allowed them being
115 per annum. It remains to be men
tioned that in pursuing this noble work
Lord Rothschild is following in the foot
steps of other members of his family
who have supported this school in ‘a
princely- fashion since its foundation, fif
ty-five years ago.
