given out that Bisbee replenished his ex-
chequer with the understanding hat Pope
would support the entire Republican
ticket.
That he considers his cause iesperaael
is sufficiently indicated when Blaine sbasl-i
dons the semblance Of digni6ed confidence
with which he watched the campaign
from his standpoint in Maine, and takes
the field in person to retrieve his shattered
fortunes. This is false move, like every
one that he has made since the campaign
opened. He has s. lost his head " 10 the
sea of troubles that environs him., and
struggles on from blunder to blunAer to.

nerves him, for he feels in his heart that

The Origin Of Dixie.

. On Saturday night in 1859, when
Dan Emmett was member of Bry-
ants Minstrers, New York, Dan Bry-
ant came to him and said: sDan, can't
you get us up walk around p want
something new and lively for Monday
night" Dan went to work, and by
Sunday afternoon he had the words
commencing, 81 wish was in Dixie"
This expression was not Southern, but
appeared among the circus people of
the North. In early fall, when nipping
frosts would overtake the tented wan
derers, the boys would think of the
warmth of the South. and the common
expression would be, s.Well, wish |
was in Dixie" This gave the catch
line, and the rest of the song was origi-
nal. On Monday morning it was
rehearsed and highly commended, and
at night crowded house caught up the
refrain, and half of them went home
singing Dixie. The song became the
rage, and w. w. Newcomb's Buckley
Minstrels and others gave Dan five dol
lars each for the privilege of using it. Mr..
Werlean wrote to Emmett to secure the
copyright; but, without waiting for a
reply. published it with words by Mr..
Peters. Pond, of New York, secured it
from Emmett for 5000; but Werlean
sold thousands of copies without CIV
ing him nickel. Not only was En-
met robbed of the profits of his song,
but the authorship of it was disputed.
Will S. Hayes claimed it as his own.
Pond brought the matter before a
music publishers convention, and set
tied the authorship; but Dan reaped no
benefit from this tardy justice --oak-

Plain Speech Wanted.

ssOver certification" and ssrehypoth-
ecation" are pretty long words. One
means lying and the other means steal
ing. When we are told that the recent
troubles in business in New York are
attributable to these long-sounding
causes, we are really told that lying
and stealing are at the bottom of the
difficulty. The whole disturbance is
sharp lesson in the value of honesty.
All business transactions rest on the
assumption of honesty between man
and man. If it were not that ordinarily
people tell each other the truth, there
could be nothing made by lying. The
stock in trade of the liar is truthfulness
of other people. Business came to q
standstill in New York the other day
for the simple reason that the supply of
confidence gave out. People ceased to
believe each. other and the machinery
of trade and commerce broke down at
once.
We cannot get along unless the
decided majority of us tell the truth
and deal fairly. The trouble has been
that so many people have thought it
would not make any difference if they
went over on to the other side just long
enough to make something, as others
were doing. The whole spirit of bust
ness, since the industrial revival that
set in about 1879, has been one of
gamble and scramble. The lesson of
1873 counted for nothing whatever.
The stock-watering, which was sup
posed to be the cause of that trouble,
was entered upon again as quickly as
opportunity occurred. Among the
solid investment properties of Wall
Street to-day-which the traders say
are shelter than government" are
stocks that since 1878 has been watered
as much as 100 per cent, so that the
man who in 1873 had 100 shares has to-
day 200 shares. He only holds the
same fraction of the property as before,
but he writes himself down twice as
rich as he was, and demands that
Operating expenses" be so reduced
that his income shall conform to his
double riches, for his stock is only
about par.
But the stock watering is only one
evidence of the loss of sobriety. Look
at the ''blind poor' that Willard oper-
atcus al tuc gTccu W YET into Tue SccIct
and fictitious contracts that Ward pre-
tended TO control, and at defalcations
which run up into the millions. Think
of a man of large property, on &c.,
600 salary, with an inheritance Of many
millions staring him in the face, going
down to Wall street and gambling away
other peoples money for the sake OF
making some for himself where he al
ready had too much!
What we want is to have common
honesty common. The leadership OF
business and the guidance of ''enter-
prise" has been entrusted to rascals,
and, sad to relate, their following has
been very large. 1t is time for the
moral tide to turn. Spell rehypothe-
cate with five letters; get a little more
''toney" set into our prisons; and cease
to admire as the great successes of the
day those men who began by stealing
and have built their fortunes on theft
as foundation. We want new mod
els, new morals, plain speech, and the
same law for man who steals a rail-
road or bank as for the man who
steals pair of shoes or loaf of bread.

Bombay's King Cotton.

Bombay is at once the most English,
American and Oriental of all the Indian
cities. The most English, as l am re-
minded every quarter of an hour by
full chime of bells, and constantly by
the architecture; the most American by
reason of the resistless, busting tide of
human life that flows up and down the
main thoroughfares; the most typical of
the Orient by reason of the lofty pro-
jecting buildings in the native portions
of the city, and also of the gorgeous
turbans, TUNES and silk trousers which
dazzle the eye on all the important
streets.
l need not say that Bombay is the
most promising city of the Orient, and
fairly ahead of Calcutta in metropolitan
features already. Not even Chicago
took more rapid strides ahead than did
this city at the time of our civil war.
Though the sudden decline in cotton
the great staple in Bombay-brough
on a panic in 1865 which ruined nearly
every merchant here, / find that the
city has fully recovered from that
shock, and is now on the high road to
opulence. Many things have contrib
uted to this. The rapid development
of India by railroads, converging into
Bombay on the west and Calcutta on
the east, has made this not only the
postal center of the country, but also
the commercial entrepot. The OPEN
ing Of the Suez canal has its influence
in the same way.
The principal exports to-day are cot
ton, jute, spices, ivory, gums, grain,
seeds and tobacco. But, of course, the
great staple is cotton. Cotton is king
here, and his sway is as absolute as at
New Orleans or Charleston. Cotton has
built the great warehouses here, and
collected the hundreds of cargo
steamers that are anchored out in the
harbor or moored alongside of wharves
in Princes dock. Large barges, with
a rude sail attached, move about in the
bay, and little masses of the material
float on the waters surface. Ofcourse,
this cotton is not equal to that produced
in America, just as the Indian wheat,
which is now coming into the European
market, is inferior to American wheat;
for certain purposes it is amply good
enough, and there is an immense trade
in it.-Cor. N. 0. Times Democrat.
