Mr.. HOLMAN, our own Mr.. Holman, came
near having personal encounter with fellow
member on the floor of the House one day this
week, and he may yet meet him with pistols and
coffee outside. Mr.. Holman, in criticizing a GER
tain paragraph in the Indian appropriation bill,
gave offense to the fiery Southerner, Congressman
Ellis, Of Louisiana. Several sharp speeches
passed between them, in one of which the gentle
man from Indiana reflected upon the truthful
ness of the gentleman from Louisiana. This fred
the Southern heart, and Mr.. Ellis angrily re-
torted that he would permit no man to impugn
his truthfulness, but would hold him responsible.
To this ominous speech MIR. Holman replied that
he had heard such language before, and that it
was the language of timidity. Mr.. Ellis
thereupon leaned over his desk and re-
marked with suppressed excitement but
with great emphasis, that he desired the gen
tleman from Indiana to understand that he was
responsible there as we'll as elsewhere for his ut
terances. Other whispered and Kissing speeches
passed between the two that the eager-eared re-
porters could not catch, but it is suspected that
they were of belligerent nature, and that the
end is not yet Mr.. Holman is not a warike
man, nor, in spite of the Suns portrait, is he
bold, bad man, but there is no room for doubt
that if he is called to the field of honor he will
do credit to his State. 1t may be that he is
little rusty as to the provisions of the code and
needs some brushing up in that direction, but
Indiana will pit her own obiector against the
representative from the Louisiana boys 1t is
suggested that Mr.. Holman might we'll indulge
in little preliminary pistol practice; but this is
unnecessary, since, as is well known, the mod
ern duelist does not shoot to hit. Further in
formation in regard to the affair is looked for

CUBAN EMANCIPATION.

Colonel John w. Foster, in talk upon the
Spanish treaty, alludes to the success of the
graduated emancipation system introduced by
the Spanish system into Cuba and Porto Rico,
The work of Cuban emancipation began in
Cuba in 1870. The work was advanced
under Castelar, In the time Of the republic,
and in 1880 the Canovas government passed a
bill for the complete abolition of slavery.
Under that law large number of those still
held in servitude were fully emancipated and
the remainder were made apprentices, were
granted certain political rights, and were
placed under the special protection of the gov
ernment. Their former masters became en-
ployers and were required to pay them month
ly wages, fixed by the government; they were
required to feed, clothe and care for them in
sickness, and to educate the children and
teach them trade. A failure to pay the stip-
ulated wages or any neglect of the other con:
ditions of the law, gave the apprentices the
right to their immediate freedom. Colonel
Foster says this law has been enforced with a
fair degree of impartiality and success, and it
is supported in Spain by men of both parties
Besides the emancipation at the age fixed
by the law, there occur annually
drawings, when a certain number whose
apprenticeship may not have expired are re-
leased from further service. The Law also
provides for the purchase of the remaining
term Of the apprentice at small sum and in
this way the number has been very rapidly
decreased. The latest statistics published
show that there are not more than $4,000 ap-
prentices remaining, and that Of these only
10000 are employed on the sugar plantations
The law fixes the year 1888 as the period
when the apprenticeship must cease altogether,
but at the present rate of decrease it is esti-
mated that it will come to an end In 1886
Colonel Foster says that emancipation has
been brought about without any serious dis
turbances of the labor problem, the enamel
pated slaves proving themselves good and
faithful workmen in their new relation. It
has induced quite change in the methods of
sugar culture, the work being done chiefly by
small farmers and renters, who grow the cane
and sell it to the nearest estate Colonel
Foster Gays that too much credit cannot be
given to the public men of Spain, as well as
to the planters of the island, for this silent,
peaceful and successful work of emancipa-
ton carried out without any remuneration
to the masters, without any disturbance of
public order, and with little arrangement to
the industries Of the country 1t is in many
respects almost without parallel in tho world s
history.

The New York Sun prints good word for
Levi P. Morton, who has been unjustly
charged with having been the representative
of improper and corrupt influences in the re-
cent senatorial canvass. The Sun very prop
eriy and truthfully says that Mr. Mortons
public services have been spotless, and his
abilities and Judgment have won for him a
well deserved prominence in the Republican
ouncils He has also served as minister to
rance during period Of great interest in the

history of that country. In the recent presi-
Dental contest he was on the side of his
party, giving a loyal support to Mr.. Blaine,
and the Sun says there is no reason to believe,
or evidence to show, that Mr.. Morton would
have countenanced anything but the fairest
and most honorable efforts to secure position
to which he had perfect right to aspire, and
which he would have worthily filed had he
been elected to it.

some time since by the discovery that he issued
medical diplomas to any applicant who should
furnish the necessary $25 in return for the
same. The college named in the diplomas
having fallen into disrepute by the painful
publicity, the Doctor established another in
his Office and opened correspondence with the

Col. OLIVER FL. PAYNE, son Of the Ohio
Senator-elect, has resigned the treasurership of
the Standard Oil Company. Some time since
it was stated that Colonel Payne would resign
that Office and be called to place in Mr.
Cleveland's cabinet The taking of the first
step in the programme has set all the quid
nuncs agog, and the country will be deluged
with another overflow of cabinet speculations.

In the hurry and worry of moving the fem
inine mind is generally considerably wrought
up. What with looking after the furniture,
that it doesn't get scratched; the mirror, that it
does not get broken, and the thousand and one
articles of household economy, that they do not
get lost, she is in state bordering ON insanity.
But, as general thing, no desirable live stock
is left behind. The horse is transferred to his
new quarters, the dog is introduced to the new
premises, and the family cat is prevailed upon to
loaf around another hearthstone. 1t remained for

her, only to be '1ost" again that same day-this
time for good.

Mr.. PATE, one of the numerous Louisville citi
zens lately reported to have fed from homo to
avoid angry creditors, is back again, armed with
virtuous indignation and certificate of charac
ter from his wife, Mr.. Pate says he was ill, that
he went to the Hot Springs solely on account of
his health, and that he had no intention of de-
frauding any one. AS corroborative evidence
that he is ali right, he publishes the following
card from Mrs. Pate:
This is to certify that my husband, w. s.
Pate, went to Hot Springs for his health with
my full consent, and l have received two letters
from him while there, and all this talk about
him running away is an outrage

1t is not known whether this unique document
will be accepted by suspicios Louisvillians as a
complete vindication of m;sused fellow citizen,
but it certainly should be, 1t isn't every man,
as they very well know, who could get his wife's
consent to go to Hot Springs. much less certifi-
cate to that effect, and full weight should be
given to this fact. 1t is generally conceded that
woman is, as a general thing, better aequaint-
ted with her husbands weaknesses than any one
else, and it naturally follows that when she
comes forward to testify to his goodness he must
be very, very good. Public confidence in Mr..
Pate can hardly fail to be Immediately restored.
