TO BISMARCK AND THE LIBERALS
A cable special to the Baltimore 4 ntericdp OF to-
day from Berlin says that the action OF the Amer
lean House OF Representatives on the Lasker reso-

as to the liberals. The latter are elated at the re-
c0gntlon or their memorial by the House. and de-
clare lnat the resolution reciprocating the seHti-
mentS or the liberals voices the feeling OF the Amer
lean people towards the party OF which Lasker was
the head. Bismarck is gratiied that the affair
ended as it did, and hopes that the pork question
will be settled in an equally amicable way Minis
ter Sargent Is expected at the state dinner in honor
OF the eIghtyeighth birthday OF the emperor on
saturday. 1t has been learned from high aut hOrIt
that Instructions have been given TO the govern
ment organs to cease their attacks on Minister

from wOrklngmen, thanking him for his action fn

Southern Wen and the Education bill,

VIEWS OF SENATOR WILLIAMS OF KENTUCKY.
81 can't understand to save my life why our
folks oppose this bill" said Senator Williams, re-
ferring<O the Blair educational BILL and the course
OF the southern Senators in regard to 1t. .Why''
he continued, 81 look upon 1t the best bill for the
south that has been proposed In Congress for IA
quarter of a century. The negro is free; he is a
citizen, entitled 10 all the legal rights and prlvil-
eyes OF white man, and he must be educated.
With education he Will make a better citizen, and
l believe a better labOrer Now the south
Is not able To educate the five million negroes
within her borders. They were set free without
any doing OF ours. Indeed IL was against will.
There's no use denying that. Now. then it's right
that the north should help educate those negroes.
It's the negroes that make the proportion OF Hitter
acy In our country so large. think it's generous
and graceful on the part OF senators Blair and Hoar
and other republicans to offer us this help thank
them for it. tell you that there are not five hun
dred persons In Kentucky who do not favor this
BILL and believe the sentiment is equally as strong
i'll all the southern states. AS l have said, can't
understand why southern men stand up here and
refuse this benefit"

There were received at the stock wards

There were received at the stock yards
on Thursday of last week from Mem
phis, over the Kansas City, Springfield
& Memphis railroad, 13l Arkansas cat
tle-the first shipment from Memphis
to this city. This fact alone is worthy
of mention, but in addition it may be
stated that the total weight of the 13l
cattle was 45,050 pounds, or an average
of 343 pounds. The price obtained
S3.37i per 100 pounds-was a very fair
one indeed, when the quality of the cat
tie is considered. These cattle ranged
in age from one to five years, and con-
sisted of bulls, cows, heifers and steers.
They were a motley lot, and attracted
attention.
Tom Word, who came up from Texas
last week, says there was some trading
in range cattle before he left. j. j.
