The Times-Rkcokdkk has arranged to
have a stenographic report taken of K$v.
Dr. Carswell’s sermon to be delivered at
Cordefe this morning on the subject of
the end of the world.
The sermon will appear in the next
issue
A great deal of interest is being taken
in this question, because of the learning
and intelligence of the men who are so
boldly advocating their therories; and
big crowds are going to hear not only
Dr. Carswell, but others who are on the
same line.
( Whatever may bo said about the
Rkv.’Du. K. IIkhek Newton sends au strength or plausibility of the arguments

open letter to Bishop Potter, courting a , advanced by Prof. Totten, Dr. Carswell
trial on the charges brought against him ! and others, it will still be very hard to

PoisTt oai.'- political crisis lias ter- j is now no answer to Prof. Totten's lig-
minatcd by the formation of a cabinet
with General de Lousa at. the head, and
it is to he hoped that stability iu poli
tics may tend to restore confidence in
business circles that lias been so badly
broken of lato. Portugal is in a had
ures except to say, "wait and see," anil
as April 14th, ISttP, is the outside limit
of time allowed for the tinal catastrophe,
the most of us can afford to wait devel
opments.
An Americus hanker, when asked
way, and some radical improvement in j whether Ids policy would be to curtail
business or politics is imperative
Mb. Wattebson suggests to President
Harrison that ylten ltaum resigns the
office of commissioner of pensions that
he give the office to some educated, ca
pable colored man. The double sar
casm of the suggestion probably is that
Raum has no idea of resigning, and if he
did resign Harrison wouldn't think of
appointing a colored man to the place.
The Supremo council of the Itoyal
Arcanum meets in Atlantic City, New
Jersey, the first Wednesday in June,
and will be composed of ollicers and| MB '
representatives from twenty states and
Canada. The growth of the order lias
been very remarkable the past year,
being about 15,000, which Indicates the
popularity of its system. The increase
in Gourgia has been over 500.
Inllines in anticipation of the end next
year, nr a little later, replied that it
would no doubt bo just as well to have a
safe full of money as none at all at that
time, and he proposed to go ahead and
make money just as if nothing would
ever happen.
It Is not likely, therefore, that the elo
quence of tlio Second Adventists will
materially interfere witli the regular
course of human affairs, even if a fow
people go off at a tangent and never re
turn to the mundane circle.
It is bad for a government when it is
distrusted by it own subjects. During
the past two months, in which the Ital
ian government has been alarmed for
tho safety of its subjects in this coun
try, many thousand, of It. subjects have
taken all tl>, risks by coming here.
Our consul at Naples und. word that
at this time Italians are leaving that
port for the United States as fast aa
steamships can he found to carry them.
Preralor Iiudlni had better refrain from
writing any more dispatches about tho
American question until he has sent in
terviewers here to get the experiences
and untiments of hi. countrymen in
onr "Italian colonies.”
/ The Louisiana Supremo court lias de
cided what la known na the If ope bond
case against tbo state. Hope ft Co., of
Amterdam, purchased forty yoars ago
over $4,000,000 of itonds Issued by the
"CUlzent'bauk of New Orleans which were
guaranteed by tho state. The bank re
tired all its iuuo oxropt the bonds held
by Hope A Co., and finally ceased to
paylutercst on these, arranging with
the state to tako its real estate and aa-
uume the obligations thereon. Hope
A Co. then demanded payment from the
state, which waa refuud. Suit waa en
tered for a mandamus to compel the
Funding board to fund the bonds. In
the lower court the decision was in fa
vor of tbs state. Thts decision was re
versed Friday, two of the five judges
disunting, and the mandamus was or
dered to iuue. The effect will be the
addition of uveral millions principal
and interest to the funded debt of the
state. On the other hand the state
comes loto possession of valuablo real
estate upon which the bonds were
predicated.
LIVINGSTON AND TUB THIRD
PARTY.
However great may have been the
censure lavished upon Mr. L. F. Living
ston in the past, and however mucli lie
may have deserved it, lie is certainly en
titled now to the plaudits of the people
for his hold and nggressii e stand against
a third party, which position lie held bo
strongly at the convention in Cincinnati.
Mr. Livingston comes in for double
honors in this connection, for, not being
a delegate to the convention, but as
president of the farmers’ allianco of
Georgia being entitled to some courte
sies at tho hands of his brother alliance-
mon, he grasped the situation and urged
strongly tile postponement of such
action.
Mr, Livingston is fair enough in his
views to sco tho evil that such a move
ment would result In. Democracy is
the bod rock, the very foundation of the
Alliance. Its very motto, “equal privi
leges to all, special favors to none,” la as
old ns tho democratic party itself. It
was one of Thomaa Jefferson's maxims,
and Mr. Livingston in Ilia (pooches and
addressos has unhesitatingly preached
this doctrine, showing that the alliance
has for its basis and very ground
upon which it rests, that tho old demo
cratic doctrine enunciated by tho father
of tho party.
Mr. Livingston was right in urging
the postponement of suoh an effort, and
it Is to be hoped that he will lend hla
efforts In future against the accomplish
ment of suoh a scheme, for the alliance
and she democrats,locked In inseparable
union as they are,will find a party split
disastrous to both. It would result in
tntoruocino strife,and a grand politloai
revolution would follow that would rock
every state government in this Motion.-—
Albany News.
The Chilian insurgent war vessel Es
meralda if lying helpless in the harbor
of Acapulco. Site ran into port to coal,
but the Moxicau authorities refused the
supplies on the ground that to fnrniab
thorn would constitute a violation of the
neutrality laws. Then the Esmeralda
offered to purchase from the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company, whiob keeps
a coaling station there. The preslden t
of the company telegraphed the depart
ment from New York, asking for in
structions in the matter. He waa im
mediately notified that he should not un
der any circumstances sell them a bush
el of coal, and thou to make matters
doubly sure Consul McCaskey, at Aca
pulco, was instructed to see that the
orders of the department were strictly
obeyed. Without coal the Esmeralda
cannot move out of the harbor. She
will be compelled to remain there until
MMisiance can be sent to her from Chili.
It is an extraordinary situation. There
has been some expectation that she
' might resort to force to supply her
bunkers, for there it plenty of coal Id
and around the town, bat this is hardly
probable. Her safer plant, end the one
she will probably follow, la to commu
nicate liersituation to the authorities at
Iquique and await, their teUoo. No
word has yet been motived from the
Itata. The Charleston is expected to
. mfWRApma any hour, butlt is uncer
tain wUethcrsho will stop thero. Sho
lias coal enough to run her to Paytl,
port in northern Peru.
GKKKN BAY RUM.
Is this long suffering republic to stand
a perpetual infliction of an “Old Man of
the Sea" in the person of the pension
commissioner? It looks liko he can't be
shaken oil, in spite of bis unsavory
record. Then, as if he feared the coun
try couldn't get enough of him in the
first degree, he has been training up a
young sprig from tho same old bough
who has so far transcended tho limits of
decency that the long dormant senso of
sliamo of the republican party is arous
ed, and thero is a disposition to shake
off the deadly incubus of both the
Itaums, father and hopeful son, but
when the president wants to call for
Itaum’s resignation, he appears to be
afraid to do so openly, as this is not the
soason to make political enemies of even
such men as Raum. True to the record
of office-holders, he will neither die nor
resign unless the president can finally
summon enough courage to demand his
scalp.
If Raum doos'nt resign he will be in
vestigated by congress. The country is
not satisfied with the management of the
pension office and the president knows
it isn't. It is probable, therefore, that
the rumor that the president ia looking
for Ranm’s successor is oorrect. And it
can bo pretty safely stated that he will
find him before long.
Surprise Is expressed that Green B.
Raum, Jr. Is not prosecuted for his al
leged frauds on the civil service com
mission, and It ia said that his "pull”
alone prevents It

The New York lawyer who received
$200,000 as a fee in settling up the affairs
of the assigned firm of Decker, Howell
A Co., still standi at the head. The
Philadelphia Record has been looking
up the big fees paid to members of the
bar In that elty, but can find none larger
than $100,000, which was paid to Wayne
MacVeagh for his services in defending
the Pullman l’alaco Car company in the
big anit against it of the Central Trans
portation company.
John G. Thompson is said to have
pockoted $50,000 moro than once in Im-
portact cases in which be has figured,
but these large compensations arc very
rare in the Quaker City.
Senator Bon Hill, of Georgia, got a foe
of $100,000 in the Metcalf cotton case in
Augusta, Ga., just after the war.
General Henry It. Jackson, of Savan
nah,Is said to have got a fee in a railroad
caso some years ago, which while not
paid in actual cash at tho timo was in
property which turned out very shortly
tberesfter to be worth $400,000, so that
ho really got what was the equivalent of
that much money. So that General
Jackson is ahead even of tbo New York
lawyer by $140,(TO which by itself is
larger than any other fee on record.

Carrie Turner, the actress, was abducted

more deeply than ever Involve the mud

tton seems to bo quite equal to complete
ly straightening out the tangle.
MB. BLAINE'S HEALTH.
Vague and painful reports of Mr.
Blaine's physical condition fill the air.
It may be difficult to reach a definite
conclusion on the subject, but it is evi
dent that the cares of.office have at least
impaired a naturally vigorous constitu
tion.
Very few gentlemen in public life have
done as much hard work as Mr. Blaine.
He has been somewhat spendthrift of
his vital energy, so eager in the accom
plishment of Ids many difficult tasks
that ho did not reckon the consequences
to Ids nervous system.
No man in tills country ever excited
such admiration on the one hand, or
such determined opposition on the
other. For years he has been in the
vortex of political events, lias met ap
palling odds with courage and succumb
ed to fate with all tho grace the occasion
demanded.
Such a life of strange vicissitude and
constant struggle tells on a man as age
advances. He cannot keep up the strain
with impunity; cannot stay in the thick
of tho fight without bearing away some
deep wounds.
Wo have opposed Mr. Blaine's meas
ures, have been both free and fearless in
comments on his policy. As a
sturdy contestant for what ho believes
to lie right, however, wc are always
glad to give him credit. lie is a foe
worthy of any Irian's steel, and if it he
true that lie is either partially or wholly
disabled we desire to he among the first
to express our sorrow.
It is to be hoped, however, that cur-
Yent reports are an exaggeration and
that we shall have the pleasure of meet
ing him on the field of political battle
for many years to come.—New York
Herald.

THE OUTFLOW OF GOLD.
Europe has got more than $40,000,000
of our gold within the last few months,
and still the outflow continuts at the
rate of several millions a week. Onr fi
nanciers say that the outflow will oease
shortly. It is to be hoped that it will.
It Is having a paralysing effect in this
country.
It lx true that no financial disturb
ances have been produced, and it ia
probable that we eonld stand the loss of
a good many millions more without
showing any symptoms of alarm, but
the fact cannot be concealed that there
ia a lack of buoyant feeling in the money
centers and business circles of the coun
try in consequence of this steady out
flow, the most of which is going to
Russia, where it will be permanently
withdrawn from circulation.
Kxo land is becoming alarmed at the
exodus of destitute Hebrews from Rus
sia, as large numbers of them are seek
ing refuge in Great Britain. This move
ment has assumed such proportions that
it Is termed the “Hebrew invasion of
England.” It is estimated that about
five hundred appeals are made each
week to the different newspapers by in
dividuals urging that the authorities
should introduce legislation to exclude
destitute aliens similar to the immigra
tion law recently adopted by the United
States.
