Evening Herald would thank some
gentleman to tell what it is.
The Hon. J. Sterling Morton is
proving a Jonah for the goldbogs,
and they are anxious to throw him
overboard. He has so fatigued the
esteemed New Orleans States that
that paper is moved to say: "There
are Jackasses on the silver side of
the money question, but Morton is
the peer of any of them, and if the
cause of honest money is to be ad¬
vanced in the West, the beet thing
to do is to send him to the rear of

gulf him in silence and obscurity.
He carries with him at all times a
loaded and deadly mouth.”
THE ALL OOTTON FOLLY.
The New Orleans Picayune says
that the present* price of ootton,
the lowest with one exception iD fif¬
ty years, suggests some important
considerations. The most impor¬
tant of these is the necessity that
the Southern farmers should raise
their own supplies.
The immense ootton crop of 1894
drove the lowest point it has ever
touched and it seemed that this bit¬
ter experience taught the farmers a
valuable lesson. The next year they
reduced their ootton acreage largely
and raised greater food crops. Tm
result was that cot ton brought near
ly twice as much in 1895 as it
brought in 1894. Not only this but
the farmers had less to buy than
ever before. Thus they found a
double profit from the wise policy
they adopted in the spring of 1895.
The Picayune says:
‘One would have imagined that
the Southern farmers, profiting by
experience, would have continued
the policy of producing all supplies
at home and making cotton as much
a surplus crop of possible ; but. with
a lack of prudence which is aston¬
ishing, they promptly drifted back
to the old plan of putting as much
ground as possible in cotton, with
the result that the extra labor and
ex panse will be utterly lost, and the
large yield will net smaller returns
t fran those of the past two years.
“The Picayune does not believe
that the proper policy for the South
to pursue is to systematically limit
the ootton production. Such a pol¬
icy would he manifestly to the ad¬
vantage of our competitors, who
would be able to thrive and extend
their cotton cultivation under the
•frirpTiiAfriwg effects of the high prices
our course would produce. Bat a
policy of growing all supplies at
luma, diversifying crops, and mak¬
ing cotton as much as possible a
surplus crop, is a very different
thing from a mere restriction of
The idea is to make it
> to grow cheap cotton at a
profit, thereby forcing nil oompati-
t.>rs oat of the imrket and reteteing
tor the South the control of the col
too market.
• Did the farmers make them-
•elves selfraetaining by the produc¬
tion at home of all anppliea, they
would be lout affected by the fluctua¬
tion* in the cotton market, and
would be better able to hold their
ootton when apinnera aeomed dis¬
posed to force down prices by bold¬
ing off aa they are doing at preaent.
As long aa the farmers are compell¬
ed by their necessities to force their
cotton on the market, just so long
will the control of prices remain
with the consumer, and not with
them. When, however, they are in
a position to market their product
deliberately, and to hurry forward
or withhold shipments at their
pleasure, they will be able to oom-
mend satisfactory prices, A little
holding back of ootton at the pres¬
ent juncture would have a very
wholesome effect on prioes, and it is
pretty safe to say that all who can
will hold, as past experience has
proven that when the reaction

been experienced this season, it is

THE CLliCK WINDER.
A NEW YORK MAN WHO MAKES HI3
LIVING AT THIS CALLING.
Whims ot Some of iiis Patrons Whoso
Timeplooes M« Leak* Aftor—Mystery of
the Clook That Would Sot Go on Friday.
Twenty Clocks In One llonse.
Clock winding seems n simple enough
task to be performed liy owner* for
their respective timepieces, bnt there are
many people who find it sufficiently
burdensome to make them delegate it to
some one else. Hence has arisen the
profession of clook winder, which as
yet claims probably fewer members
than any other calling in the city. Por
some years jewelers have attended to
the repairing of clocks which they sold
and have even looked after the winding
where this was especially desired, but
they never tried to obtain this kind of
business, and it was done merely as an
accommodation to their customers. Now
there is at least one man in New York—
there may be more, though not many
—whose only occupation is the wind¬
ing, regulating and occasional cleaning
of clocks for numerous families. He
makes daily rounds so afe to cover his
entire route, but he never visits the
same house oftener than once a week.
On that day his coming is expected, and
be has free access to all the rooms,
whether they are occupied at the time
or not. Through the various halls and
.pertinents be from the top 1 of A At the -
goes, clocks
boose to the bottom, winding the
and giving s touch here and there to a
regulator where he finds it necessary.
Of course he does not pay any attention
to the little nickel alarm docks, which
run for only one day. His care, being
given weekly, is spent upon the eight
day clocks of more expensive design and
workmanship.
The clock winder whom The Tribune
reporter saw had several stories to tell
about the pursuit of his occupation.
“Some people are very particular about
the striking of their clocks,” he said.
“They will ask me if I can’t arrange to
have all the timepieces in the house
strike together. Now, as a general
thing, tbat is an impossibility, and I’ll
tell you why. Some clocks are arranged
to strike just half a minute before the
hour, some for a quarter of a minute
before, some for a few seconds after the
hour and so oh. You see if I fixed them
so that they would strike together they
would not be exactly together in point
of actual time, which is more important.
In one house on my list the family owns
20 clocks. Of these I suppose 6 or 6—
perhaps more—strike in unison, and
the others all within a minute. My or¬
ders in this house arc to have all the
clocks except one at precisely the cor¬
rect time. This odd one is the timepiece
in the bedroom of the mistress of the
house, and she wishes it kept three
minutes fast. I think that is the only
instance among my customers of any¬
body who wants a clock perpetually
fast, and I am very certain there is no
one who asks me to keep one slow.
“When I undertake the care of the
clocks in a house, nobody else is allow¬
ed to touch them, and the servants in
particular have orders never to move or
interfere with them in any way. Some¬
times this is done accidentally, and it
is hard to find ont how the clock has
been injured. A few months ago I lost
.
one of my best houses because there was
one clock which I could not seem to
put in proper order. I would take it
away, clean it thoroughly and look to
every smallest part of the mechanism.
Apparently it made no difference The
clock positively refused to run right
Finally I gave it up, and that family
had a mighty poor opinion of my abil¬
ities as a clock repairer.
“Some weeks after that I came across
a clock in another house which acted in
exactly the same way. I was puzzled
for awhile. Finally I noticed that it al¬
ways stopped on Friday* That was
queerer than ever, until by chance I hit
upon the solution of the mystery. The
servant, while dusting the room on that
day, was in the habit of passing her
cloth along the mantle under the clock.
This would have made no difference
with many timepieces, but this one had
an open bottom, through which the tip
of the pendulum projected. The dusting
cloth just touched this enough to stop
it. The girl did not know what she had
done, and thus the family were mysti¬
fied anew each week by finding that the
clock would not go on Friday.
“I clean all my clocks regularly once
in two years, aud in that way keep them
in proper running order. Most people
think that it is just as well to let a
clock run until it stops, fairly clogged
up with dirt, but that isn't so. By that
time it may be so bad that it will be
impossible ever to make it run as accu¬
rately as it did before.
“I am usually paid by the month to
take entire charge of all the clocks in a
house, it being, understood that I make
weekly visits. Sometimes, though, I
am employed by the year. In the case
of the house I was telling you of, where
they have 30 clocks, they pay me $100
annually for the work. It takes a good
deal of my time in the course of 12
months, and I don’t fill my pockets as
fast as some folks seem to think I
aught,” concluded the clock winder
with a smile.—New York Tribune.

WHAT SHE WANTED.
The Huckster Waa Called tp Four Flights
to Hear Something.
A huckster was going along an east
side street early one morning making
the welkin ring with his singsong of
“Po-ta-t-o-o-o-es, toma-t-o-o-es! Nice -----
sweet cooking appoolsl” As he drove
•lowly V l_ along .. I _____ 1.., he lifted his nvon eyes to in fKn the
windows on either side of the street.
Suddenly there appeared a woman’s
head at a window in one of the top fiats.
The huckster palled in his horse and
raised his ear to listen to the commands
he expected would be coming, but the
woman had not the lung power to make
her voice carry so far, and the huckster
called out, “How’s that?”
Again the woman called, and her
voice came down faintly. The huckster
didn’t know whether she wauted pota¬
toes, cantaloupes, tomatoes or coru. So
he marked the fourth flat from the cor¬
ner and motioned that he would drive
around to the alley. The won.au was
there waiting for him and called ont
once more, but he couldn’t understand
her. of
Gathering a handful of samples
various vegetables from bis stock, he
mounted four flights of back stairs and
arrived at the top panting. The woman
stood there awaiting his coming.
“Conldn’t bear what you said, lady,’’
raid the huckster. “So I brought up
some of each kind qn you can pick what
want I’ll go down an get ’em. ”
yon an
“Want?” said the woman, who was
in a towering rage. “Want? I don’t
want none of your old vegetables. What
I want is for you to stop hoilerin in
front of this house, or I’ll have you ar¬
rested. You’re enough to wake the
dead. My husband works all night, and
he’s just got into a little doze, and
goodness knows it’s bard enough to
sleep daytimes without a fiend like you
standing in front of the house yelling
like a Comanche. Now you get ont of
here and don’t you holler no more or
I’ll get the police after you!”
The huckster stood with set eyes and
drooping jaw, the perspiration dropping
off his chin, while this harangue was
going on. When she had finished, he
came out of his trance and said:
“Is that what you tailed me all the
way up here for? Send fer yer p’lice,
lady! I’m goin to yell to beat the
band. ” And he went down the stairs
and out of the alley and up the street
in front of the house with four extra
links let out of his throat, and if any
person slept on that street it was under
the influence of opiates. —Kansas City

A Study of Berlin.
Berlin Drum is I- almost as discouraging ~— in
other landmarks of its notable Gor-
us in its public statues. It is al-
as as bed bad as as New flew York, xora, where wnere few zew
now stand that were in existence
Franklin and Washington were
London is rich in buildings as-
with great men, Mid an Am erf-
can hardly walk from Westminster
St Paul’s Without recalling a dozen
ot men whose lives are dear to
Berlin has, however, been almost
anew since 1870. I can remember
streets that were different when
was a boy. There are, to be sure, a
instances of memorial plates being
to houses where notable Ger¬
have lived, bat even in these cases
houses themselves are an uninterest¬
portion of an uninteresting street
Prussian kings adored uniformity
in street architecture, as well as in the
of soldiers, and that may be
reason why today the most beautiful
of Berlin furnish less interest to
stranger than the grimiest alleys of
with their charming diversity
dirty froata
The bouses here are all equally high,
equally broad, equally gaudy on the
and equally devoid of individu¬
within. The Anglo-Saxon owns
house and makes it comfortable for
himself and his family. The Prussian
lives in an apartment house, along with
perhaps a dozen more families, all of
them subject to the petty tyranny of a
porter whose duties are dangerously
near to those of a police agent. Thus
the individual taste of a Berlin artist,
writer, actor or other notable resident
finds no expression through his architec¬
tural surroundings. A Helmholtz, a
Mommsen, a Meuzei or a Virchow is
in Berlin as little identified with his
house as a soldier with his barracks.
This form of living has its conveniences,
particularly to a bachelor, but is not
conducive to interest in those who seek
the literary landmarks of great capitals.

“Cruelty In the Kongo Free State” ia
the title of a paper made np from the
journals of the late E. J. Glave in The
Century. Mr. Glave says: Toyo, the
boy I engaged of Sims, is more differ¬
ent kinds of an ass than any one I have
met for several moons. The other day,
after cooking something in the frying
pan, he placed the sooty side on the
drum of my banjo. I do not understand
his language very well, but from ges¬
ture and disgusted look it ought to have
been clear to him that I objected to that
sort of untidiness. When I threw off
the frying pan, he took it up carefully,
wiped the sooty part with a cloth I had
given him to clean plates with, and
then put it back on the banjo. He ha*
made tea in. , my coffeepot without re¬
moving the coffee grounds. He walks
into my room without taking off his
hat or removing his pipe. He is ngly,
slow aud has no more intelligence than a
rock. I found him wearing a hat which
1 had given him to carry, and wiping
his sweaty face on my towel. What
service he could have rendered Sims
mimunn 1 do not know.
