Grand Scheme Of ex-Gov. Warmoth.

A Washington special oftle 9th
to the Times Democrat says:
A story is published here by Geo.
H. Butler, to the effect that ex-Gov.
Wamoth, Of Louisiana, and the
Lorillards hare formed a syndicate
to purchase Cuba for sl0O,O0o,ooO
to use as sugar and tobacco plan
tation, the Rothschilds to guaran'
tee the purchase money, which is to
be paid S2o,o0o,o00 down, and the
rest in installments Of S5,00o,00o a
year.
Ex-Gov. Warmoth, August Bel
mont, S. L. M. Barlow, Pierre Lor-
lizard, Leland Stanford, Jas. Cor.
don Bennett, John W. Mackay,
are named members of the syndi
cate. 1t is to conduct its affairs
like the old East India Company.
The United States will be asked
to modify the Chinese immigration
law so as to admit Chinese labor
ers to Cuba and to keep out other
immigrants with patrol gunboats.
1t will be asked to keep small gar
risons in the principal towns. The
company will maintain an armed
constabulary 1900 strong, made up
of ex- Confederates enlisted for five
years, at the end of which time the
land is to be so peaceful and pros
porous that they will be superauous.
In return for its moral and material
support, at the end Of ten years
Cuba is to be turned over to the
United States, which is to pay the
remaining thirty millions, the syn
dictate retaining enough of the best
sugar and tobacco lands to re-im-
burse them without profit.
John Russell Young has been Of
fered $4,000 year to act as gen
eral factor for the syndicate.
George c. Gorham is to take his
place if he cannot serve, and Pinch
back, Of Louisiana, to act as Gov
ernor Of the negro population.
Warmoth is said to have planned
and worked up the scheme. He is
said to have secured the approval of
the President and Secretary Chan
dler, but to find Frelinhuysen less
willing to see that it would reflect
glory on the administration. War
moth is said to have this scheme
in view in going abroad. He is
coming back in October, when
work is to begin.

he has done, but in just expectation
of what he will accomplish as the
true servant of a free people, fit for
their lofty trust, always Of momen-
tous consequence"
We give the above as speci-
men of but one Of the ringing de-
clarations of the chairman of the
Democratic National Committee
appointed to communicate to Gov.
Cleveland his nomination to the
Presidency by the Chicago Con
vention. From it may be fairly
judged the style of the entire verbal
announcement, together with the
written address which accompanied
it. There is no effort at display,
the simplest but most turgid words
are adopted to convey what was
meant. In response Gov. Cleve-
land was equally brief, emphatic
and pungent. That response has
the ring Of the true metal. For the
whole proceedings, too long for our
columns, as held at Albany, N. Y,
on the 29th ult., we refer our read
ers to full report thereof contain
ed in the Tines Democrat of last
Wednesday,; it will amply repay
perusal. 1t furnishes the keynote
to the campaign on which we have
fairly entered.
Both the address and response Of
the nominee might be taken as the
party platform, for in them is pied
ged all Of honesty, integrity and re-
form that the highest capacity can
accomplish by the most exacting.
We now only await the formal let
ter of acceptance, and hesitate not
to predict it will prove model in
everything that should be express
cd in such a document. We think
great wrong Is to be righted by
decisive Democratic victory at the
approaching election, and we will
see if the imperious arm of the
spokesman be again raised as in
1876, to cheat a nation of the just
fruits of victory.
"A BLAINE paper endeavors to
disparage Cleveland's capacity for
the position of President by saying
he has been "a middling good Gov
ernor, just as he was a fairly good
Mayor, and a Sheriff who saw that
criminals were hung without the
rope breaking" Thereupon the
Times- Democrat suggests that it is a
very high recommendation indeed
for President to sre that criminals
both high and low, are executed
without any breaking of the rope,
| either literal or fgurative. Yes,
the chances are that if Cleveland
had been President the rope would
not have broken in the case Of

resistingly the feeble old man led the
broad-shouldered giant TO the front door

Governor had been the friend of the
father, and remembering how often good
advice had dropped his lips, the son,
now grown to mans estate, bowed to his
iron will. The following day General
Buford returned to Lexington, and with
tears in his eyes apo.ogized TO General

Thor-rt He Was President.

A stor, u Abraham Lincoln and John
Hay is tod by the Graphic: Oliver p.
Norton, then War Governor of Indiana,
arrived one day early in 1854 at the Cap
ital. He was personally unknown to the
staff of the White House, and having
driven there direct, as he had to see Mr..
Lincoln at once, his unshaven, dusty ap-
pearance, with Western look and linen
duster on, won him no special attention.
Mr.. Lincoln was at the War Department
and the persistent Governor, who did
not give his name, was somewhat oirily,
brusquely treated by the junior private
secretary, John Hay. Morton left, went
TO the hotel, washed, shaved, etc, and
within an hour returned to the White
House. His name was sent in and he
followed Immediately. After business
was through Mr.. Lincoln said, "Oliver,
why did l not see you before?" the
Governor having mentioned the hour of
his arrival. This led to little explain.
alton and then Morton asked, "Who was
that airy young man out tbere?" indicat-
ing the secretary's room. At Mr.. Lin
coins request "the young man" was de-
sTibed, and the President said, quaint
ly, "Well Governor, wouldn't lay that
up against him. That's John Hay, one
of my private secretaries. He really is a
nice young man, but sometimes when l
am out he thinks he's President, and as
it amuses him and doesn't really hurt

Colonel Gripsack is a non. producer
and an able borrower. He is always as
strictly business in securing his loans
or raising the money as he is in failing
to meet his obligations. His system,
however, met with failure one day
this week.
Mr.. Psycash is wealthy citizen and
very liberal when securities are good
He occasionally exhilarates his system
and when in that condition is apparent
ly exceedingly generous.
Colonel Gripsack met him in "Shoo-
marks" and, thinking the road straight
to successful working" confiden-
tally approached him.
"Mr. Paycash," he urbanely began,

a check in few days for five hundred
dollars from home, but am at present a
little strapped. l don't want to borrow
any money from you, but if You'll in

Certainly, certainly. No." respond
ed the exhilarated but astute Paycash;
"and, my dear fellow, l wouldn't inoon
venience you for the world. But, Just
as matter of form, have better sug-
gestion. You step around to Riggs &
Co. and get their Endorsement on your
note and instead of hundred I'll glad
ly loan you thousand for six months"
Colonel Gripsack looked meditatively
into space, figured confusedly for Il
while and silently folding himself up
skipped away.

can be renewed at pleasure at no cost,
and be removed in spring for additional

of newspapers may be made to save half

its lack to the poverty-stricken. We call
the special attention of benevolent go

Eccentric Lord COlerAine.

Lord Coleraine was very eccentric in
his manner and compliments. The
Duchess of York had water party, but
when she arrived late the waterman
said, "Yeur royal highness must wait for
the tide" Upon which Lord ColeraiHe,
bowing profoundly, said, "If ] had been
the tide, should have waited for your
Royal Highness," which sent everybody
into fits of laughter Once when staying
at an inn in Ireland he went to his bed
room and found his bed occupied; man
started up, saying, "How dare you come
into my room? My name is Johnson |

Competition In Chills.

Speaking Of chills," said the gentle
man from Arkansaw, borrowing a match
from the train boy, 81 had one at home
once that was away up in G. Stopped a
train, that chill did"
They crowded around to hear the par
ticulars.
"You see, they turned me out of the
town and run me off the turnpike, so I
took to the railroad, and shook it up
so the through express had to wait until
got over it."
"Right smart of chill, that assented
a gentleman from Louisiana. Had 'em
myself but / only delayed train lit
while"
The gentleman from Arkansaw eyed
him, but declined to ask any questions
''Tell us" shouted the chorus.
"Weli," said the gentleman from Louis
lana, with glance at the gentleman
from Arkansaw, "they ran up to where
was shaking, and found they couldn't
get pass"
"What did they dor"
"All hands turned out and tunnelled
right through it, replied the louisiana
man, "and in the spring the icicles hung
down from the roof of that chill SO thick
and so strong that they had to blast
them out before they could transact any
bus"
But the Arkansaw man was climbing
over the tender toward the cab, and
even the chorus lost interest in the rest
of the details.

AveRging Himself.

There was quite an experience on a

got as mad as a wet hen in about an
eighth of a second.

you come from northern Indiana that
you've got feet that want to take up a
whole horse-cai?"
The offending man, not noticing the
savageness Of the query, replied:
81 beg pardon, sir; my stepping upon
your toes was wholly accidental. hope
you are not hurt"
Hurt ~ growled the red-headed man,
who seemed to rather want to fight; "do
you think it would hurt you TO have
your toes ground by number fourteen?
You ought to go out in ten-acre lot by
yourself and practice handling those
feet"
The crowd laughed at tins remark.
Still the reviled man did not get angry.
lie said "Very likely you are right.
I've thought of doing that. You must
pardon my awkwardncss, but i assure
YOU it was unintehtional."
81 don't know whether | II pardon you
or break your head on the pavement"
said the red-headed man. al suppose,
though, seeing you have begged 30 hard,
III have to let you Off"
The two sat down side by side, and
gradually dropped into conversation,
though the red-headed man was still
grouty. Finally he asked the mild.man-
nered man who he was. Quietly and
modestly the latter replied, 81 am called
Tug Wilson p
The look Of honor that came over the
face of the red-headed man, rs he realiz-
ed how recklessly he had behaved, and
how near he had probably come to get
ting frightful beating, was sight to
see. His eyes hung out and his jaw
dropped, he was 80 scared. He at first
appeared disposed to apologize, but
couldn't quite see his way clear to do it.
He bitched about nervonsly for minute
and then made bolt out of the car.
The passengers shouted.
Then the mild-mannered man said,
Ladies and gentlemen, we are not Tug
Wilson, but we thought that was the
best way TO revenge ourselves on that
blackguard."
