an occasional reaction, prices advanced

chief causes of the check to the downward
course of the discount market has been the
withdrawal of gold for America and the

THE GREEK FRONTIER.
Reply of the Greek Premier 70 the
French Charge d'Ahaires-An Ap-
peal 10 Arms EneVftable--Fralce
AbsOlved from Further Action.

ROME, January 8.-The Diretto publishes
dispatch from Athens which gives the
Greek Premier Coumondouros' last reply
to the French Charge d'Affaires. He attri-
butes the present situation of the Greek
question to the action of the powers at Ber-
lin, which generated the hopes Of Greece,
who is now the only executor of the decis-
ions of the powers. Trusting to the
promises of the nations, Greece has abstain
ed from hostillties, but now, acting upon
wise counsel and taught by the experience
OF Dulcigno, she must prepare for hostili-
ties. She cannot recede. Retrogression
would cause confusion. He states that if
arbitration were based on the conference at
Berlin it could only effect repetition of an
act which has already been accepted. If,
on the contrary, the Berlin decisions should
be modified, Greece would see her rights
diminished and would be entitled to refuse
the result. Nothing can be hoped for from
the Porte. 1t is painful but inevitable that
1t viii be necessary to appeal to arms.
PARIS, January Sin diplomatic circles
it is believed the mobilization of the Greek
reserves, if confirmed, win be regarded as
entirely absolviug France from further ac-
tion In behalf of Greece.
ATHENS, January 9.-The report that a
decree had been issued calling out the re-
serves is unfcunGed.
PARIS, January 9.-The French jour
nails say it is believed the warlike
declaration of Premier Coumondouros
to the French Minister, as reported
IN dlspatch from Athens published in the
DiTetto of Rome yesterday, belongs to the
past stage of negotiations. and does not
conform with the present conciliatory atti-
tuGe of Greece.

THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.

early outbreak of obstruction In the House Of
Commons, and predict that the government
will adopt strong measures against 1t If it
be continued.
Eighteen Irish members of the House of
Commons spoke on O'Kelly's obstruction
motion last night, consuming over two hours.
The question was raised whether O'Keliy
was in order in speaking on the motion for
adjournment. The Speaker said O'Kelly
was In order, but that the practice was
highly inconvenient, and If persisted in he
believed the House would be obliged to put
an end to the abuse OF the practice.
In the House Of Commons last night the
Attorney General, in introducing the cor
rupt practices at elections bill, explained
that its chief object would be to put an end
to the lavish expense accompanying most
elections; that a check would be placed on
expenses by a certain sum being fixed
for the entire election, according to
a schedule varying according to
the size of the constituency. Various pun

Governor crimes and Twenty Cents,
Burlington H0tCkey'


The Legislature had just convened al
the capital of Iowa. Governor Grimes
had arrived the night before and taken
rooms at a certain hotel A young as
pirant for Office from a distant portion
of the State also drove up and alighted
from his carriage at the steps of the
same hotel. The hostler threw off his
trunk, and the landlord conducted him
to his room, leaving the trunk in
the barroom. Wishing his trunk,
the young man demanded to have ii
brought up. and seeing man passing
through the lower hall, whom he took TO
be the porter, he gave his commands in
an imperious and lofty tone. The order
wss obeyed the man charging a quarter
of dollar for his services. A marked
quarter, that was good for only 20 cents,
was slipped slyly into his hand, and was
put into hls pocket by the man with a
smile.
''And Eow, sirrahl" cried the new ar.
rival, "you know Governor Grimes?"
20 yes, sir.
'FWell, take my card to him, and tell
him wish an interview with him at his

his hand, he said

The Two Solid Sauths.
PhRqdelphia Record.

There are two solid Souths. For the
most part we hear of only one. The
black solid South is as real, and within
its sphere as formidable, as The white
solid South. II is the last named which
appears in the political arena of the ma
tion. but the other, where it exists, is q
grave and constant danger to the States.
We OF the North do not Adequately ap-
preciate It's import and its bearings upon
the Southern situation. Here, the negro
is in so extremely small minority as to
be a social factor of but slight sig
nificance. There, the case is very diff
ferent The colored element in the
population of the South is numerically
great, in some sections largely prepon-
derating over the white citizenship. 1t
is, moreover, substantially a unit in
partisan affiliatiOn and action. Only
here and there has the color line been
broken. The fact of this almost com
plete political solidity of the blacks
would have long since been taken advan-
tage of by eager aspirants for promo
ton, and strong coalitions would have
been formed with them in nearly every
Southern State, were it net for the clear
conviction that such a course, while cor.
tributing to the personal aggran-
diZement of an AMBITIOUS
leadership, would be IN the
highest decree mischievous in Its results
upon local administration and ruinOus
to the best interests of the community.
The pride of race may have much to do
with this all but universal feeling among
the Southern whites. Whether the in
nate sympathies and repugnances OF
race are right or wrong, it is not worth
while to argue. As a matter OF fact
they exist among men, and culture and
enlightenment tend rather TO strengthen
than to undermine them. 1t is an ap-
proved maxim of craftsmanship that
men and things must be taken as they
are, rather than as they ought to be or
as they might be.

MURDER IN KENTUCKY.
A Quarrel About a Board Bill Re-
snits In the killing of One of the
Parties.

LOUISVILLE, January 8.-A special to the
Courier Journal from Henderson, KY, says :
ga murder occurred in the ice fleet in the
mouth Of Green river early this morning.
Among the fishing boats lying in there were
TWO moored together. O1e was occupied
by John Davis, alias Wright, married
man, aged thirty-fve years, the other by H.
L. Balmer, an old man, sixty years of age,
and a fisherman. The two had been
coming down the river together in
partnership, but had quarrel
last night about board bill. Balmer states
this morning that he was on Davis boat,
and Davis during the quarrel seized stick
OF wood aud advanced on Balmer, who re-
treated to his boat, and taking down his
rifle, after warning Davis back, shot him
through the right side. His wife, the only
other witness, says Balmer assassinated him
as he was saving wood.

FATAL SHOOTING AT BULL
