A dinner somewhat out of the usual line iwas enjoyed by a iMfty of gtwutte- roeo at Newark, New JerBtgr, Ute other Bay, whom Dr. Richard Hopkins bad invited to Jolu him in a feast of horse Arab. A famous “chief” was employed to cook the dinner end he served the old nag in all the different ways his in genuity and Paris training could sug gest. He sent in horse steaks and horse chops, horse pot roasts, baked hone, horse rib roasts, home hash, homo soup, home liver and goodness knows how many frtcasees and flddle-da-dees and Frenohlflostt-In-n* hoaido The company numbered some twenty or thirty of the most prominent men in Newark, umi no one hesitated to paruake of the feast except the former owner of the animal, who declined only liecause he did not fancy the Idea of dining on one of his old-time friends. The uni vernal verdict of the assem bled epicures wns highly favorable. They voted house meat a great delicacy and will probably feel their mouths water hereafter whenever they visit a swell furnished stable. It Is related that lAchtBe Murat, son of Napoleon's famous marshal, once said that he had eaten ail the Ameri can birds he could lay hands on, in cluding the owl and the crow, and found them nil simply delicious, ex cept “ze Triorkuy Roozard"—he "could not eat him; he was too Strong.” ' M Dr. dlopkins and his friends wish to'brntk the eptcurain record of this continent, they see what Is before thorn, and “so Boozand” Is heartily at their service. any other one man, perhaps, he con trols the political opinions of the work ing class of Great -Britain. The secret of bis power, perhaps, lies in the fact that he is an optimist. He dues not spend his time in exciting the hatred against classes or institutions. What he does Is to Impress them, as far as he Is able to do, with certain ideas which he believes, if incorporated In the tows, will result in a met! orating the oondttiota of all classes of society. He Is engaged, not in the work of punish ing men or classes who have been most successful In- the tvntfd, but in trying to help those which have been less suc cessful. He is a bulkier up, as we un derstand him, not a tearer down. AVe have no doubt that M.r. Burns is mistaken to many of his ideas; that some of his plans are Impracticable; that some of them, if carried out, would result in positive barm, Instead of ben efit, to the class which he especially desires to serve But, aeverthel-eBS, his example is a valuable one for those who aspire to lead a reform. 11 is easy for men to follow an ablip man who Is at the same time cheerful, hopeful of the future, actuated only by a desire to serve all men, and free of the ran corous bitterness that would lend to the destruction of any class in the commu nity. Americans will smile at Mr. Burns' prediction .{hat they will be emigrating to England In order that they may en joy the benefits of a model govern ment But though they smile, fluey will Wave nothing but sympathy for the hopes of so brave an optimist TEX-CENT COTTON LEAGUE. DETECTIVE SCIENCE. A striking proposition bas been ad vanced hy a South Carolina planter through the columns of the Charleston Nemo anal Courier. Briefly sieeieu, he wants the Southern farmers to pledge themselves In writing to plant one-half as much ootiton as they did last spring, and should any farmer violate hts pledge, or fail to I'Jake the pledge, the refractory firmer, in cither case, is to Ibe boyooSted vigorously by the farmers at large. What vigorously boycotted means oniay be conjectured only. The tatim Is not speoittoally de fined. It is fair Hb assume that It means a great deal more than ought to bo meant by an edict which any class having a decant respect for individual rights has a right to promulgate. The Telegraph sympathizes with the desire of the fanners to advance the worth of goods anywhere on the face of the earth. Five silver dollars melted are worth only $2,80 because the metal in them will not pay more ihan $2.80 of debts or buy more than $2.80 worth of floods anywhere ot» the earth. Cur government ran make the rndtsal In five silver dollars worth $5, but It can do so only by mating silver instead of gold ithe measure of vtaiue. When gold Is exported from this country to Europe, W is exported not as dollars, but as bullion. It does not .matter if it Is tn the form of our coined money. U Is still, in that form, nothing but bul lion io the eHttlrnttrioni of the people to whom It Is paid in the seMlemenit of debts or in payment for goods. The government Itself does mot accept Its gold coins at their face value unless the scales thiw -tha t they Have Hie bullion In them required by law. If the meas ure of vwluu were the silver dollar, and all values ware measured by it, tho same rule would dbtuln. Five silver dollars .melted would bo (worth five dot- ton. Silver dollars exported would go out ait ithelr bullion value. But gold would oeuse to be money in this coun try, would cease to circulate, and would no longer be used in settling tirade bal ances, exoejlt In Ithe sumo .way that com and cotton and other products are used to settle sudh balances. As a money metal. It would cease to exist. It is true, as the Farmers’ Voice says, that the market for silver is tleprreued by the closing of the Uoited States mints against it. We have no doubt that If these mints were open thut sil ver would be worth more 1c the Mar kets. But as long as It is not a money metal in 'the sense of being used as the standard of value by Ithe princqul com- meroial nwtwins of 'the .world, it oainnot regain .the relative position which ocoupled when it Was free to enter the mints of all muttons and was used as money and as a standard ol value. The United Sttntea can &> something to raise its price, but cannot pm it in the position to which -all nations once united 'to raise it. In adher words, the United States, however powerful po litically and cammardaiHy, are not so powerful as is nil the world. To say that a man en.noOt pay a dol lar’s worth of debt with 412 1-2 grains of silver In the form of bullion because It ‘bus mot the .govemnumt stamp on it and I* therefore not legal tender, is to miss the real point at Issue In this con troversy. He can pay a dollar of debt with a gold dollar, not bemuse of the were tortured and burned to death. The troops plunderedi and burned the churches. Among those who fetl vic tims to the savagery of the soldiers were forty priests, iwho were brutally massacred.” ■Near W.ilkeabnrre, Pa., on December 19. a boy told the police a hair-raising story of the treattmeot he hud under gone it the hands of certain detectives who wanted htm to elve information comcerning the blowing up of a house in that locality. When he protested that he knew nothing of the matter, the datafltJvee strung him up to the nearest tree. A/tec some momenta, they cut him down and gave him an other chance. Ho stubbornly reas serted his Ignorance, whereupon they gave him a second tnsto of the rope, but still without effect. It is high time for Peunsylmania to quit that sort of business and become olvlllzed if she is still to enjoy the privilege of jumping on our Georpla moonshiners and “whiteoaps.” It Is a. notorious fact that some gentlemen from up her way who marched through Georgia with Sherman tried this identical experi ment on the tote lamented Chief Jus tice Warner. 'He was bung about three .times to make him tell where he had hidden his gold. He probably hail no bidden gen'd; certainly lie failed to show bis persecutors where it was if he had any. A mistake was made in the man. The lamented chief justice was constructed of tough Umber. Before yielding a point, hed stand as much hanging as the next one. jMre of cotton It Wleve.lt Is for the aU <m 4t> but Who* of. ^fard Interest of this section itihht cotton I The way of ithe transgressor seems to grow harder year after year. Science keeps poking her finger into the crimi nal eye. Hypnotism has far some time threatened to become a detective agent; but It happens that the worfd feels al most as doubtful of hypnotism as of the criminals hypnotism proposes to exposa Independent of hypnotism and mes merism and ail conjuring, of -whatever character, the science of medical Jarls- \prudfoso Is undoubtedly growing. The statement has been made that to shoot or Utah a man on the pUhHo streets Is safer than to kill him by poison, he- ■ cause the chances that the crime will ,bo detected and punished are, through , ; iluo iuHtTunussaury of soiaoioe, greater 1 In the latter rate than in tho former. Rut perhaps the most striking In stance in which soleooe has been om- > ployed aa an adjunct to the detective [force was that recorded In our dis patches yesterday. It Is a merited that on the retina of tho victim of a mysterious murder it was found by microscopic examination that the image of the muclever trad been OlsUndOy photographed, la the particular oase hla features were not illsceralbfcv hut hi* figure, clothing— oven the creases to his trouser* were plainly visible. If the fine contrasts of light and abadow were so faithfully portrayed as to show tho wrinkles la the clothing of the murderer. It la fair to presume that had the eye of his vic tim happened to rest on his face ait the moment of death, the* woifld have been Just as accurately pn.wcnt.-d. If the truth about the matter haa hern told. It wtta s mere chance that L- pt the eye of the dead from discov ering to the authorities the Identity or tli guilty person. It is reasonable to suppose that iu nine cases qht of ten where murder Is committed la a light sutticleotly good to servo tho purposes • of inis kind of photography, the crim dual's features would appear; for it Is puimroi under the circumrimoces to nook an assailant directly la the face. If the report is confirmed, crime will receive an ualooked for check. Would be murderers, if an accurate picture of -their crime and of tbomedvew in the •not of ooomf.ftiag the crime la ito be furnished the wocbl, w*A think twice before they take tine enormously .increased ririr. As ta the case of bjpcoaam, science will first, however, be obliged to con vince the world that there Is no “hoo doo bust ums" relied on in Ms accusa tiona. prices abound g> up. It believes that nothing, a t the present time, is so essen tial to the interest of this Beotion, and It also believes that the only practica ble way to insure it, is to cut down cot ton produnttan. But are the means which It la pro posed to employ in accomplishing this very desirable -Ibange Justifiable? We think not. The boycott la a modern In vention, little fitted to modem civiliza tion. It would have accorded very well with the usages of feudal ages, when might was right, but not with the spirit of these times, when right is supposed to be respected, independently of might If a man owns ten acres of kind, be la eulUHad to phot ft eCl—every sore of It—In com or itoe, or tobacco, or wheat, oats, barley, or Bermuda grass, as he sees fit Then why non tn eothmV Plainly, hts ocigtilnrs have no legiti mate business to diState to him In the matter. He is only Standing up tor hla own when he rays; "I will aitXefld to my bust mss; you attend to yours.” Fhrmnna of the South have done great things in the lust quarter of a century, During the early '70s, cordon at 20 cents a pound was considered low. Yet the sltuatlo.. was met, and Sin 1894 only half flut price la demanded to yirid a profit. In order to meet the demands of tbe situation imvvnty years ago or a little arioru, the cost of production had to be reduced, and It was reduced without seriously affecting the price of labor. Whether a further reduction U practicable is a mant-er of great doubt. If such were possible, that would fur nish the surest and most expeditious channel of relief. The reduction aocompHMtcd when cotton was 20 ocota a pound did not re sult from organized effort; mat tier did the wholesome proportionate Increase of hog land hominy within the past few yean, which Has so much improved the condition of our farmers that they are now considered to have been less In jured by tho hard times than any class lu America. These wetoomo results were the outcome of individual action la both cases. It Is sCunviy to be de nied that uniform action on rim part of the planters, springing from a general appreciation of the situation and s uni versal determination to remedy It, would products tbe best passible results. Tbe only question Is, is uniform action S thing to be raumatUy hoped for? The Telegraph fcat* not, and under the Broth Orrolln* bulldozing method, it feels sure that nCtUng useftfi out be aocompltshed. Those by -whom this method la initomeil oonfere that It la open to tbe charge of toorortam. Hut la resouflh to settle tt* chances of prov ing a valuable suggeriBon. JOHN BURNS’ OPTIMISM. , John Bures, the famous English fat.or leader and member of parliament, ratio is now on a r.alt to this country, will tbe other day to an American au vlience:, “Mark tay wurds, within the next twenty-five year* Americans will 3>e emigrating to England, because in tthat country, by that time, we will Aiave the model goveraanaria of the world, and It wtB be the only happy end contented people on the earth.” Mr. Burns la a great power In Eng. Ii*h politics. To a greater extent than (but In that coin are 25 840 grains of gold. If 'there are not toh.t many gra ins of goOd, tested by the assies, then he oanmoit pay a ddttar of debt with it. Hie small ntkxwunoe made by the law for wear Is merely to serve public con- vcnlence, tend does not nffoit this prin ciple. The Intent of .the law Is that every gold dollar which is legal tender ahull be of full weight, arid when it pro vides 'thut a coin a very small fraction abort of 'the lead weight Sha.lt still l>e a legal tender anil at tbe same time provides that the treasury shall accept coins (hojtt of weight to that extent, it doe* not, as we ray, ignore the princi ple .that the worth of tbetapln Is in Its contertttt and not in the stump on Its face. ', , "If tho flovenmnot were paying five dollars for ithe melted mnto (of silver), is there anybody stupid enough to sup pose that the sUvenamdli could buy It for less?" asks the Voice, and the Con- Btit'Uuou says of the paragraph in which this question occurs that it “wuuAd be difficult tn pick more sound solid, borne annuo into so small i space.” If the flivermnent were pay tag five dollars in gold for the n mount o( racial in the five melted stiver dot- ktrs, of course mo allrersmlth could buy it Dor less. Btlt tf the government paid the five doltara In aUvur, he could buy (be mass for $2.89 in gold—just the same ns he ran now—except for the slight increase in the market price of silver that might result from the ln- aressed use of stiver as money In the United State*. The people who ask such qutwtlons seem to think that the wvjrd “dolhr” imaius u certuio fixed value under any and all drouinstaoces. As a matter of fact, it mean* very dlf- fereot things under dlftereot ciroum- stances. Under our prraerit system, In which sliver <1>Uim are ipnintioiMy ex- obnngeaMe for gold dollars, all dotars hare the same value, nul thut is the raVue of the gold dollar. Bue this would not onrinno If gold and silver dollars ceased to be cxciungaable, in effect, at the ttrrasury. Then a coined piece of metal with 412 1-2 grains of silver tn tt would he railed s dollar, and a oin with 25 8-10 grains of gold In It woifld also lie called a doUar, but they would be tho same tn name only. One would he worth more than the othiw, riiRtmerdally as wvS as tntrln- stcally.
