IIISHOP Tl KMiM't POLITICS.
The colored people seem to tie somewhat
■tlrrcd up over the fact that litshop Tur
ner of the A. M. E. Church Is urging the
election of Mr. Bryan In the Republican
congressional convention for this district
yesterday, he was bitterly denounced, it
I* probable, however, that It Is a matter
of Indifference to him how much Ihe col
ored politicians denounce him. He I* the
sort of a man to do pretty much aa he
pleases.
A Muton letter In the New York Sun
Intimate* that his purpose In coming out
for Mr. Itryan 1* to head off legislation
In this state that would take the. ballot
away from the negro. The letter states
that the Hardwick bill will be introduced
Into the I-CKlalattire again—the Legisla
ture that will meet the latter part of next
month—by Mr. Roland Kill* of Ulbb coun
ty. It Is also htnled In Ihe .Mtn-on letter
that Bishop Turner has an understanding
with the Democratic leader* of the North
that In the event of Mr. Brian's election
troops will be used to pul a stop lo lynch
ing*. %
It la safe to say that Bishop Turner Is
not figuring on preventing legislation In
this stale similar lo that In North Caro
lina and tlml he has no understanding
with Northern Democrats rtwpectlng
lynching*. It Is not In his power lo In
fluence legislation In Georgia, and It Is
not a matter of any consequence lo North
ern Democrats whelher he support* Mr.
Bryan or not. The South Is going lo vote
for Mr Bryan anyhow and Bishop Tur
ner cannot Influence any Northern voters.
He cannot make speeches In that set Hon
or any other. Hl* health I* such that
he la barely able to crawl around from
one church to another of hla diocese. Ail
there I* behind tit* support of Mr. Bryan.
In all prohabtttty, I* that he doesn't like
Mr. McKinley because Mr. McKinley
hasn't stopped lynching*. The Bishop
doesn't seem to realize that he himself
con do more to stop lynching* than any
President could do. He can teach his peo
ple not lo commit Ihe crime for which
lynching Is moat common. When negroes
cease to commit lh.it crime lynching* will
practically cease.
AID PON GALVESTON.
There Is no doubt that the response in
thin city to the call for aid for Ihe suf
ferer* from the great storm at Galveston
will las prompt and liberal. The Mayor
has appointed o committee of twenty
four gentlemen who will receive sub
scriptions from citizens, beginning so
day. The Benevolent Association have
already sent ll.uoo to Galveston. There
ought lo be no trouble |n quickly rztetng
ft.WO more, 25.000 from ttavannati would
boa very fair contribution.
The calamity from which the people of
Galveston ore suffering w-as the greatest
of the kind by which nny section of thl*
country has boon visited. Thousands or
them are mourning the loss of members
of their families or of dear friends, and
thousands are destitute. The whole coun
try la moving to relieve 4he|r imtiKdlatc
need* and assist them until they cun get
their homes In a condition to live In and
get themselves re-established In their re
spect Ivm businesses and occupations. B.
vunnah can be driiendcrl upon to do her
•hare of the good work.
At Weatherly, Pa., the other day a mis
er of the name of Lurrlch tiled of star
vation, with |2.osi> In hla pocket and jau.-
000 In bank. He had made It a rule never
ta break a bill for his own accommoda
tion and never to draw money from the
hank for his personal wants. Finding
himself without small change, he starved
rather than break a bill. No sincere re
gret I* ever fell for the taking off of
such a man. Hla heir*. It may be expect
ed. will shortly tie breaking the bills fast
enough.
If lynching I* ever justifiable. It seem*
that some of II might be practiced now
at Galveston with good effect. The hu
man ghouls who arc prowling among the
dead, cutting off fingers ami ears of
corpses la order lo secure ring* ami Jew

feci of rope swung over tho nearest limb
or lamp post.
THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY." SEPTEMBER 13. 1000.
1 t tltlOi M11.1.A Kill TTIYG DOWN.
Fol owing tkt pul> o( some o( the
j English <ottor mill*, several ot the Au
' gusla cotton mill# have derMed lo shut
down until there Is a (all In the price of
I cotton or a rise In the price ol cotton
! goods. It seem, that at th prewnt price
' of i utton goods there i no profit lor the
, mill*.
There he* been a little rise In Ihe price
o( cotton goods recently, and It I* prob
,ilit; there will be n still further rise.
There will undoubtedly If many of the
mills close down. The reason there wa*
such a fall in the pr! e of cotton goods a
short lime ago. after the great rise, was
ovcrjirodurthm. During the time that the
high prlei c prevailed all of the mills were
run al their fullest capacity. The cons*-
qusii-e was that the market wa* over
sto k and
There Is no probability apparently
t at there will be a full In the
price of cotton—at least such a
fall as will materially affect the
price# ot rollon good*. Indeed, the Indica
tion# are for a higher price for cotton. Be
fore the great Texas storm the estimates
w. re all In the .lire. Hon of a crop us smalt
as that of last year, and It t* probable that
the Texas crop has been damaged to the
extent of n hundred thousand bales or
more. In fact, some of the reports place
the- damage at a much larger number of
bale*.
The crop last year having been a short
one. and the outlook being that the crop
this year will also hr short, there la no
reason whey there should be a decline In
price of cotton.
The shutting down of a large number of
mills for a time will produce a scarcity of
rollon Roods, and bring about a rise
In the price* of them. The mills that
have closed down will then be In si posi
tion to resume oprtallons
The price of cotton is higher that* It has
been for ten year*, and the cotton mar
ket Is strong. If the Chinese trouble were
to l>e settled wllhln the next month It Is
pretty certain that rotton would aelvance
to.islder.iMy beyond Its present price.
THE AYTHHACtTB HTIIIKE
The strike that wws ordered yesterday
by the United Mine Workers of America
In the anthracite cool region of Pennsyl
vania will render Idle from 100.not* to
men. If It continues long (here will he a
great deol of suffering among (hear min
ers an<! their families. It Is a strike that
will have an Important bearing on the
presidential election, though to what ex
tent It will Influence the result of the
election It Is tmposelhle to say. It Is
claimed that the great Homestead sirlke
was responsible for the defeat of Gen.
Harrison for n second term.
President Mitchell of the United Mine-
Workers said n day or two ago that pol
itic* had nothing to do with the Issues
raised between the miners and the opera
tors-i-that the Issues were of long stand
ing. nnd that the miners were Exasperated
because the operators refused to arbitrate
them or to make any <-on res* toe*
If what has appeared In the
papers shout the matter ls true, the min
er* have grievances which should he ad
justed at once*. The operators' side of the
story has not been generally published,
but It Is probable It will be now. ns both
sides will seek the sympsthy of the public.
It Is to la- hoped lhat there will be an ad
justment of the trouble quickly, so that
there will be no suffering among the fam
ilies of the miners on account of It.

Of course, neither of Ihe gentlemen who
have been nominated by Ihe Republicans
In this Oongreaslonal District expects to be
elected. If there were only one Repub
lican candidate hf would stand no chance
of representing the district at Washing
ton. The district Is Democratic by a large
majority. Besides, Col. Lester I* a very
popular man. ami hn* rendered the district
excellent service. He will be re-elected
Indeed there mulijie no douWl about the
matter even If he should make no effort
In his own behalf.
Mr. Lcnken and Mr. Johnson would get
something more out of the nomination
probably th in simply the honor of It, If
Mr. McKinley should he fortunate enough
to he re-elected. One of them might get
the collsctorshlp and the other the post'
office. However, there Is n pretty strong
probability that Mr. BryHn will dispense
the patronage for the next administration.
Therefore, the two Republican candidates
have nothing to look forward to except
defeat and the fact that they were honor
ed by Ihelr party.
It would be Interesting lo know If Ihe
Idler which the Chicago Ttmes-Herald
prints from Rh-hard Harding Davis anent
that gentleman's quarrel with the Karl of
Rosslyn Is an authentic document. In the
letter In question this sentence oeeurs:
"Thl* reduce* the matter lo a question
of veracity lietween he and I." Is It
possible that Mr. Richard Harding Davis
could have committed an glaring a sole
cism? Even If Mr. Davis Is angry with
one of Ihe Queen's subjects, that doe* not
warrant him tn doing violence to the
Queen's English. We are rather Inclined
lo ihe opinion that liberties were taken
with Mr. Davis' letter In the Ttmes-Her
■v Id office, so n to make It conform to
English *lt Is spoken In Chloago. Per
haps the whole trouble Is due to Mr.
Davis' habitual use of "I."
A sad ami gruesome Incident of the
Galveston horror Is the manner of dis
posing of the dead, made necessary by
circumstances. The weather Is still warm
at Galveston, and lifeless flesh quickly
decay*. In order, therefore, lo avoid the
breaking out of pestilence which might
wipe out other hundreds of the population,
It Is Imperative that the bodies of victim*
of the storm, animal and human, shall be
gathered quickly and as quickly disposed
of. There I* no time for Identification*
nnd burials; Ihe bodies must be taken out
and consigned to the sea. It la hard tor
those bereft of loved ones to contemplate
this manner of disposing of the dead, hut
duty to the living will not permit of any
slower prores*.

I Railroad I'ob-Mab.
The story of a man who. In ordrr to keep
a charter olive, worked for seven years
on the constru< lion of a railroad ami nev
er completed the grauing of a mile of (he
line, was told the other day, say* the
New York Times, by a ratlroed man af
the franchise and property of the road
tn question, a l.ttle line In West Vir
ginia, bad been absorbed by one of the
large railroad systems which run through
that atate.
‘The man's name was Brannon,” he

the route of the road lay by a hillside, and
a# fast as he would grade a stretch and

She was a New York Irish girl In court

after the preliminaries had been aettled.
”He room aluhng by the are* where I

"What did he say?”
"He said ‘Good ave'nln'.' ”
"There was nothing very bad in that,

Gin ••Hickeys" With Robber Tires.
'The lime In that gtn rlokey has been
used t least four time* before," said
John lat Hay. an English actor, accord
ing to Ihe New York letter of the Chicago
Tlmes-Herald. "and 1 won't drink it."
It was In a hotel bar near Thirty-fifth
street and Broadway to-night. As the ac
tor angrily banged ‘town In. gloss on the
bar half a doxen other adore gra*|wd him
warmly by the hand. They, too. had been
drinking gtn rickeys made out of second
hand limes, but they had not the moral
courage to protest. Here was a real hero
to fight for their cause.
Le Hay fished out tho "Itmr" from hi*
glass. It wa* mode of India rubber. "I'll
put this In my pocket as evidence,” ne
remarked, but the bartender protested.
"How cun we serve gin rickeys If you
take away our only lime?" he demanded.
The India rubber lime Is not used as a
rule until very tote tn the evening, when
people grow bibulous, and .to not notice
very closely what they're drinking. The
bartender puts half a teaspoonful of real
lime Juice In the India rubber lime etch
tine It ta used.
Is- Hay Is now the champion of the
rtalto. Once started, hi* crusade against
sccon.l-hnii.l limes grew. All it had need
ed was a pioneer an-1 a martyr. In every
ettfe through the tenderloin to-night men
could Is- heard violently refusing to drink
"hand-me-down" rickeys. It Is said that
•*<T* will be token to stop the traffic in
fraudulent concoctions.
Too tinny Principles.
There wa* once a Woman whose Hus
band's Business Kept Him In Ihe City
during the Summer, say* Harper's Bazar.
Among those Habits of his which she Pro
posed to Reform was that of Going Away
on Little Trip* on Hunday*.
"R I* not a Suitable Occupation for The
Sabbath." she said, "and Against my
I’rinclplea."
So the Man staid at Home nnd Rend the
Sunday I*npera. Of this, however, she Dis
approved
"It Is Debasing Intellectually,” she gald,
"and, beside-. It Is Against my Princi
ples.”
So the Man gave up the Sunday Papers
and Sat and Smoked all day. But this she
Did not Permit very long.
"It Is an I'nwholsome Habit and on Ex
pensive One.” she said, "besides. It ts
Against my Principles."
On the Next Sunday the Man purchased
a Tick”! to. Manhattan Bench, and left his
Home with u Cigar and a Sunday Paper
In his bond.
"Sunday Is a Hard Enough Day with
out so Many Principles," he said
So she Lori tbe Chance of Reforming
him.
This teaches us that Man wa* not Made
for the Sabbath.
Where Wit Is Wild.
The Rocky Mountain Jrt< r delights you
with violent, boisterous, unpredictable
whlmsleall Ka, say* the Boston Transcript.
He I* mannerleasly frolicsome. There sat
next me at table a married man who so
reverently adored his wife that In our
presence he uniformly addressed her a*
“Old Sweet Apple*." I-noklng up from hi*
plate one morning at breakfast, he solllo
qu zed In thl* fashion: "Polka." said he.
“I don't know where I'd lie If II wasn't
for my wife." The lady beamed affection
ate appreciation "Nope " continued the
proud husband. "I don't know where I'd
be If tt wasn't for my wife—she's a great
drawback!"
In Jail.
A funny story la told of the governor
of a certain prison, say* tbe New York
Press. On being appointed to the posi
tion he was taken by .the prison chaplain
Into the rhapel, where tha prisoners were
assembled In a body. Tlte chaplain pre
sented him to tha company with the re
mark that he would eay a few words
The governor was a bashful roan, and
unaccustomed to epeeohtnnklng. He stam
mered. stuttered, blushed, and faltered:
"Ladles—er—no—gentle—that Is, men and
fellow prisoners—er—l can’t make a
speech. In fact, ail—e—*u I can say be
ar—er—that I'm ve. y glad indeed to see
so many of you here!"

—Clifton Bingham, (he author of "la

ond "the Dear Homeland.” snya: 'The

—Ask th< average wheelman lo estimate
the total number of parts In his wheel
and the chances are that hi’ will fall far
short of the number, says the New York
Times. The various hearings coiu.tln
more than a hundred ball*, and (he chain
alone consists of about ISO pieces. There
are sixty-eight 'pokes nnd as many spoke

Is .'rings, Etch pedal consists of a doxrn
or more parts, nnd the head, handles, sad

Is reniemlwred that each one of the parts

—I knew a (nan who trained his dog
never to bark, say* a writer In Chambers'
Journal Three years were necessary for
perfect success In the making of • nut
barking 'log. and my friend flattered him
self that he had a novelty. But lam In
clined to think that he would not have
wasted those three years had he known
that there are at least three varlttes that
never bark—the Australian dog. the Egyp
tian shepherd dog and the "llOn-headed"
dog of Thibet In some Jai>anese cities
a non -! Mir king dog would be deemed valu
able. for liter* they have • quaint law
w hich makes the owner of a night barker
liable to arrest, and the penalty of a year’s
work for the benefit of neighbors who mey
have Ixo*o disturbed. The fact that the
barking of a dog on the earth can be
heard l>> a balloonist nt a high! of about
four miles does not appeal to the average
man So much a* the fact that that same
burking can often be heard four streets
away.
—The late Lord Russell of Ktllowen had
a weakness for lecturing people on (heir
shortcoming*. When In October, if®*, the
london Irish Rugby Football Club was
mulched lo play Hammersmith Club on
(he London County Athletic around.
Herne Hill, Lord Russell was invited, and
consented to kick off the ball. On arriv
ing punctually at the hour appointed he
found (hat some of the members of the
London Irish team were not on the
ground. He waited patiently for some ten
or fifteen minute* until nil the pi -era
were assembled, nnd then called up Mr.
Dyas. the captain of the London frish.
and delivered the following homily: ”Capt.
Dyas nnd memlsr of the London Irish
Football Club: 1 desire to point out lo you
that one of your cardinal rules tn life
should tie punctuality. Unless you study
that rule, whether In business or tn play,
you will never be successful men, and I
hope that you will take to h*%rt the lesson
lam now reading you." The Lord Chief
Justice, with the utimuri gravity, then
proceeded to kick off the ball.
—The oldest paper In China, and prob
ably In the world, Is the Pekin Gazette.
It publishes official notice* and give*
some news, hut without comment It
date* at lenst 709 years hack. A study
of Its columns reveal* better than any
thing else the official corruption of China,
for the punishment of corrupt mandarins,
as related In the news column*, is ridic
ulously Inadequate. All other Chinese
newspaper* are published In treaty port*.
The reason I* obvious. Under the pro
tection of the- foreigner* the publishers
nnd editors are secure from prosecution.
Many of these papers have foreign con
tributors and some have foreigner* a*
"dummy” editors to prevent Interference
The Hhen-Pao, Shanghai. Is the most Im
portant. It combats corruption and abuse
of ull sort, and la very Influential More
than once It ha* caused unjust decrees
to be declared null ami void. gg)d It has
done much lo lessen the application of
torture Iti Chinese court*. It* , ollectians
for famine sufferers, etc., are always eue
ceetful. More than once the viceroy*
h*v tried to suppress it. The Viceroy of
of Oheh-Klwng, whom Ihe paper onre at
tacked. complained to the Tsung-11-Ya
men; hut the foreign office confessed It
self unable to euppr. ** the paper. "More
over." said Prince Kung. "It Is very In
teresting. We read It ourselves here In
Pekin." Even the Empress is reported to
taste of this forbidden fruit. Advertising
Is carried on to a great extent In the Chi
nese papers, for the Chinese have not been
stow In discovering the vaiue of thl*
method of Improving business. The for
eign news I* meagre The "answers to
correspondents” are Important and very
Interesting, and the local news Is exten
sive. Home of the Chinese pap'r* are
Very de.lded Jingoes, and Ihe present
troubles are doubtless In part due to their
efforts.
—The Celestial Empire of Shanghai con
tains an Interesting article on the his
torical relation* of Pekin to the Chinese
llbiplre, which, the writer say*, have
ever been of the most sinister descrip
tion From the commencement of Its iw
lltlcal career tt has been an obstacle |„
the path of Chins to eminence. From
time lo time It was the capital of nnc
or other of Ihe Intruding dyngstlcs. whose
ephemeral rule market the Weakness of
the empire, but It rose to political as
cendency only when Khuhlal Khan made
It the chief Of the Mongolian Empire
aie.iit UNO. Under his two Immediate sue.
cesror* It became the capital of the pow
erful Yttens, but, being removed from the
heart of ihe empire and the Influence of
the nation at large. It soon became s ho--
te-d cf Intrigue and corruption. When
the founder of the Ming dynasty over
threw the Mongols, he fixed his eapl'al
•I Nanktn In ortor lo h# na
lion from Ihe evils caused by the Isola'ed
situation of Pekin. On hi* death, hi.
young son was overthrown by his uncle,
snd the capital was again transferred lo
Fokin, where It has ever since remained.
" 11 tMx began the decadence of the
Mln* who called In the Manchu* to aid
them against Chinese rebels, with Ihe ul
tima* result that the Manchu* seized
the thrbue ami founded the present or
Tslng dynasty, which retained Pekin a*
the capital because of It* proximity to
their native home in Manchuria, But
the cause* of the decay of the Yuen*
and Mings were again at work Pekin
was too remote to comprehend the needs
of the nation at large, and became a
focus of corruption and Intrigue. Forty
year* ago the dynasty was saved only by
the Intervention of foreign power*, an 1
since then the mlsgovernment of the na
tion has Increased. "The old struggles
for power that led the Ming* on to their
destruction were removed, and a wicked
woman, who by an untoward fate had
attained lo the office of Regent, having
commenced her role by getting rid of one
boy Emperor, attempted to continue it by
superseding his successor. Unfortunately
for the perpetrator, such crimes are In
fectious, nnd Ihe woman who had com
mitted every orlmc In the Decalogue now
find* herself called to account by the evil
Influences she had called out of chaos."
The writer regard* the Tslng dynasty a*
practically at t*i end; the country must
go on under some kind of European pro
tect lot t or, in the abeence o( such suo
port, go to pieces.
