Eeypr's SCATTERED OBEL1sKs.-Thirty

EGYPT's SCATTERED OBELIsKs. Thirty
obelisks transported from Egypt from
time to time are now standing in various
parts of Europe. Ofthese there are in
Rome eleven, of which four are higher
than the New York obelisk The high
est of these, and the highest in Europe,
being 106 feet without the base stands
before the church of It. John Lateran.
The obelisk in the piazza of st. Peters is
80 feet inches high. Both ofthese were
mounted on high pedestals. The pedes
tai of the st. John Lateran obelisk is A
feet high, making the entire height of
obelisk and pedestal 80 feet. The ped
estal of the St. Peters obelisk is a trifle
less 80 feet high, making the whole height
of the monument 132 feet inches. If
Commander Gorringe has brought with
him the entire pedestal on which the
New York obelisk stood at Alexandria
about the same proportions will be OBJ
served as those of the st. John Lateran
obelisk, the pedestal Of the former being
27 feet inch, and its obelisk 6S feet l
inches, making the whole height of our
obelisk SO feet

MINNEs0TA'S WHEAT We'll

MINNEsoTA's WHEAT YIELD.-SE-
PAUL, August A careful estimate has
been made of the yield Of wheat in this
state now being harvested, and the low-
est figures show an average of seventeen
bushels per acre, total yield for the
state in round numbers of $4,000, 600
bushels. In the northern and north
western counties the yield will be sons
thing enormous, thirty-fve bushels to the
acre being frequently the case. The
quality of the wheat will be good

Miss Nelson, who sailed away
from our shores last Wednesday in the alb
yssinia, proposes to pass a few days in
London, and then to proceed to her vile
near the Lake of Como, where she will
pass the rest of the summer She went
away in good health, but with the sad
ness inseparable from long farewell to,
many friends, and to bright scenes of art
istic achievement and personal triumph
If her plans for the future are fulfilled;
we shall soon hear of her in domestic re-
tirement on the banks Of the Thames
They are wise, no doubt, who leave the
scene when "the sport is at the best;''
but in Miss Nelson's withdrawal, the
stage will suffer an irreparable loss. Her
shining renown, however, will long re-
main thus-a guiding example and q,
beautiful memory.

THE Albany Lar Journal which stands
its class in this country, discusses the
motion to diSbar Messrs. Steinman and
Hensel, on correct knowledge and
statement of the facts; and its conclu-
sions are noteworthy from the high aa-
thority of their source. In its sugges-
tion, however, that editors may be liable
to punishment for contempt, by reason of
publication made out of court it has
doubtless overlooked, or is not aware of
the Pennsylvania statute of 1886, which
says that No publication ont Of court
respecting the conduct of the Judges,
officers of the court, jurors, witnesses,
any cause depending in such court, shall
be construed into a contempt of the said
court so as to render the author, prin-
ter, publisher, or either of them, liable to
attachment and summary punishment of
them" This is one of the very kind of
I" limitations of statutes defining con-
tempt to which the Journal refers
further on; and it is so very plain
that even Judge Patterson intimated on
the argument of the case that he had be-
come acquainted with it and recognized
it's binding force. If the Journal is salts
fed, as it seems to be, about the rule to
disbar, as matter of law or policy, the
rule to answer for contempt is settled by
the statute-as even Mr.. Weller might
| observe.

The "Iie" COurtoous.

Examiner.
The editor of Mr.. Warfels paper, the
Neu Era, simply lies when he says that Mr..
Eshleman departed from his original in
structions," as to calling the committee
together. There never was any " original
instructions" from any one, or any intention
on his part, Or any Of his friends who have
the means of knowing what his inten-
tions were. The purpose always was in
due time to call the committee together
to pass on all the questions brought be-
fore it. Especially was it the purpose to
do SO, so as not to give any excuse in the
future to change the generally accepted
time for making county nominations. The
fact that Mr.. Geist thinks it important to
select another set of delegates to the Chi
cago convention from this county never
gave the friends of the delegates selected
by the state convention the least con-
Germ. 1t may help amuse some of
the boys" but just who is to
derive the most benefit out of this tempest
in a teapot, whether Mr.. J. w. johnson,
who wants ''second term,' to multiply
indictments at IS a piece, or Mr.. Thomas
j. Davis, we will not undertake to
say now. But one of them will, very prob
ably, find out by the time it is over that he
has been "suck-ed-in and likewise de.
ceiv-ed," as we'll as with some others who
are mounting that "boom," to bring them
fame and fortune. But of this, there viii
be plenty of time and opportunity to pla y
a "full hand " before the game is through
But we have digressed. We only meant
to tell Mr.. Wariel to stop his editors
lying.

The Truth-FOr Once.

The editor of the Examiner is never so
apt to tell the ''honeSt Gods truth at
least us it is given him to see the truth
as when he gets his mad on. He has it
on now, and SO he forgets himself far
enough to tell the truth about j. w.
JOhnsOn'S desire for a second term rs
district attorney and why heshould not
have it. There is a vast amount of virus
in that little line ''to multiply indict-
ments at So apiece" and the Commodore
must have been pretty mad to let it slip
out of his mind and into his paper. For
though he hates Johnson like snake it
is not often that he dareS to say so.
1t is the "honest Gods truth - that
Johnson us district attorney multiplied
indictments at S. apiece" Time and
again the INTELLIGENCER charged him
with it pointed it out to the court and
demanded that a stop be put to it. But
the court never interposed any effective
check, to him and the Republican papers
did not even rebuke him. The Examiner,
knowing the facts then as we'll as it
hlioNS tilCill llON CNCu pllONCu llllil lto
columns to make the shallow defense
that our assaults upon him were because
OF some prejudice against him, when the
truth is that there is nobody in town we
are so careful to deal even justice to as
J. w. Johnson-and there is scarcely
anybody that seems to complain more
when he gets justice.
Now that Johnson is candidate for
district attorney against the Examiner S
interests, it does not fear to so back
on its past record and assail him with his
official derelictions. 1t would have been
more creditable to it had it done it when
more timely. But as we have often had
occasion to remark the two factions of
the Republican party here, in their
family fights yearly, denounce and prove
each other to he ''bummerS and return
tinkers, poor house jobbers and prison
ringsters, forgers of naturalization
papers, Jail birds, bogus tax receipt
swindlers and plunderers of the city,
Then they nominate some of this cata-
logue for county officers and all join in
clarifying them as heroes of Republican
campaigns and martyrs Of Democratic
persecution.

Manners at the Theatre.

The frequent recurrence OF a serious
cause of complaint with the major por-
ton of audiences in attendance upon
theatrical performances at Fulton opera
house has become SO uncomfortable as to
call for public notice, in the hope that it
may be promptly removed. 1t is the
habit which many people have-and
one that is not confined exclusively to the
masculine portion of the average audience
of rising in their seats few moments
before the fall of the curtain, drawing on
overcoats, adjusting capes and cloaks,
and making preparations for de-
parture, and in some cases
leaving the hall :; not only to the
manifest embarrassment of the people on
the stage, but to the discomfort of per-
sons better bred, who happen to be sitting
behind those alluded to, and who are pre-
vented from seeing or hearing what is
transpiring during the closing scene by
the interposition of burly form that
rises directly before their vision and delib-
erately begins to make preparations to
go home. The lack of good taste and
common politeness in such conduct is SO
manifest to people who make any profess
sion of breeding at all, that the simple
mention of it ought to he sufficient
to induce them to abandon this just
cause of complaint, which, together with
the disagreeable click of the opera glass
case that is heard in every quarter of the
house during the last few moments of the
final scene, must he quite as distasteful
to the actors as it certainly is to the
majority of the audience. As for such
who cannot be reached by an appeal to
their sense of common politeness and
what is known as good manners, they
occupy the same plane as that delectable
gentry who stand at the inside door of
the theatre and blow vile tobacco smoke

TUESDAY EVENING. MARCH 2, 1890.
The Presidential Pot.Pourrf.

Our amiable Republican friends, who
exhibit SO much real distress of mind and
grief OF heart, lest the Democrats may
nave trouble in finding a candidate for
president who will be acceptable to their
quarter million majority of the American
voters, will do well to take notice that
the difficulties that beset the Democratic
situation are not nearly so serious and
lnsurmountable as those in the path of
the Republicans. For whereas the De-
mocracy are tending more and more to
unity, the Republicans are very much in
the fix pictured by the negro preacher
who pointed out to his hearers two roads,
one leading to hell, the other to damna-
tion, and the independent Republicans,
like the affrighted darkeys, are disposed
to take to de woods"
If not Grant then Blaine is the dilem-
ma offered to the Republicans. And it
is melancholy choice. For with all
Grants faults, as the New York Times
points out, Mr.. Blaine-by the way he
sent a substitute toward Grants army,
but who represented his principal in jail
AS statesman, has chiefly 6 distin-
