Downfall of the Dude King.

New York letter to Boston Herald.
Barry Wall has at last sunk to the leve
of common clay, ana is being sued by his
tailor. Not so lellg ago Mr.. Wall was re-
garded as the flower of New York blOOded
life. He was surrounded by a choice
cOterie of underdOne chappies, and he was
looked upon far and near as the liking of
the dudes" Mr.. Wall enjoyed the distinc-
ton so much that he blew in his fortune as
fast as he knew how, and it is to be adj
mitted that he knew how pretty well. 1t
only took him a couple of years 10 get rid
of something over $500. 600, and the youth
who can go at that rate. as regular thing,
you wouldn't call so very, very slow.
1t was the young mans pride that sports
men called him game" which they were
quite willing 10 do as long as his money
flowed into their pockets. Some of the
larks of young Wall and his immediate fol-
lowers were extremely amusing-tO them
selves. At the same time they were eX-
pensive. For instance, one night, after a
long evening at the Brunswick, eight or ten
of them started for jerome park so as to be
there early in the morning TO see one of
Wallis horses put through his exercise.
They went up in coupe and hanson
cab. The coupe had four people inside and
two sitting outside on the roof. The ham
som had three inside and one on the roof.
Part way up Fifth avenue all hands stopped
and waited for one of the crowd to go into
his house and get an overcOat. He was gone
some time, and the people aboard the
coupe, including the driver, went to sleep.
Then it occurred to Mr.. Wall and his
| friends in the hanson that il would be q
good scheme to play joke on the other
| fellows. So they climbed out, and by al
getting hold of one side of the coupe they
succeeded in tipping it over into the gutter.
| For wonder, the horse did not run away,
but the damage to the coupe amounted
| close upon $500, and all the:Occupants were
bruised to a greater or less extent. Wall
who had suggested this pleasant little joke
| footed the bill, and the young men did no
| go to Jerome park that morning.

4 SCHOOL FOR INDIANS.

The theory held by the Indian affairs
committee that the true solution of the In
dian question is to be found in. the estab-
lishment of schools for the children of the
red men has many good reasons underlying
it. So far as the experiment has been tried
it has met with fattering success. The
trouble is, however, that it does not go far
enough. Not enough children are edu-
Gated in civilized ways and returned
to their tribes to leaven the I'M
righteousness of the remaining savages. If
the scheme is to be adopted at all it should
be in its entirety. The education should be
made compulsory and to include every In
dian child above q certain age. In this
way the rising generation would soon be
weaned from the paint and feathers of
savagery to the plumes and finery of civil
cation. A youthful brave attired in a dude
collar and the usual accomplishments, and
possessing good working knowledge OF
English, might not come up to the ideal of
the noble red man, as established by GER
tain Mr.. COOPER, but he would be
worth more for purposes of practical citi-
zenship. Once initiated into the delights
Oh the warn uleeJluS anu uldue dcqualnUeu
with the subtle delights which are to be
found in the neighborhOod of the polls on
election day, he would no longer long for
the freedom of the prairie. Should he be
overcome by his innate hankering after
scalps, he would find safe vent for hi:
overweight feelings by gratifying his nat
ural inclination at party caucuses and con
ventions. There is little doubt that by thi;
educational plan one generation would see
the last of the nomadic, lazy. government
fed Indians, as we know them now. ThosC

could at least be made self-suppOrting anC

schedule had created great alarm among the
workers in these materials throughout the
country. If the iron and steel which was
imported during the past year had been
made in this country there would not have
been so many idle hands around the mills,
ana reduction in the rate of duty would
only Increase the number of idle hands, For
this reason, the Amalgamated association,
which represented between 10000 and
$4,000 men, desired to enter its protest
against the proposed legislation. William
Martin OF Pittsburg read protest prepared
by committee of the association, in which
the association says it is unalterably opposed
to any revision of the tariff except in the
direction of higher duties. The labor or
CARNATIONS of this country had not as yet
taken part in politics, but if the tendency of
congress was towards a revision of the tariff
in the direction OF reduction, these organiZa-
tons would be forced to take political ac-
ton. w. f. Stewart, who had had thirty
years experience as an iron worker, gave it
as his opinion that a general
REDUCTION OF WAGES
invariably followed general reduction of
tariff duties. Mr.. Stewart referring to a
remark made by Mr.. Breckenridge of Ar
kansas relative to the condition of China
under the policy Of shutting itself out from
foreign lnteTc0urSe) Sald tnat Wnen the
American wOrkmen came down to the Chi
neSe policy and carried everything on their
heads the wages would come down to the
same rate as Chinese wages. The American
workmen had genius. The Chinaman had
not. Mr. Breckenridge Of Kentucky in
quired in regard to the general condition Of
labor in this country; whether 1T was in
good relations with the employers. Mr..
Stewart replied that the relations were
satisfactory. and that was the cause of the
organization of so many labor associations.
The workingmen recognized that the laws
OF the United States were not made in the
interest Of labor, but of capital. They were
going to give congress a chance to help
them. If this was not done movement
would be set on foot which would enable
them to help themselves through the ballot
box. Mr.. Breckenridge inquired whether
there were not other causes of complaint
among wOrkingmen growing out of the re-
ductiOn of the tariff. Mr.. Stewart replied
that the reduction of the tariff was the sole
originator of the whole movement OF labor
associations.

OFFICIAL STRIKERS,

Striking seems to be a mania just at
present. Even the government employees
have become infected with it. The latest
move in this direction is an organization of
the postal clerks on all the fast mail lines,
who have appointed committee with in
structiOns to notify the postmaster general
that unless he gives them a personal guar
antee that they are to retain their positions
permanently they will quit work in a
body. This is done in expectation that
the apprehended Generalization result
ing to the mail service from such
course. will frighten the post
master general into yielding to their de-
mands and securing them in their soft
places. If these poor duluded postal clerks
only knew how many thousand bright, &C
tive young men were standing hat in hand,
ready to board the trains at the first signal
of the bell, and engage in the work of as
sorting the mails. they wouldn't have been
so bold in their demands. The next thing
will be that the postmasters will inaugurate
a boycott against the government and re-
fuse to buy its postage stamps unless they
are assured of being continued in Office.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.
Arguments m Favor of Their Estab-
lishment.

WASHINGTON, March 12.-The house
committee on postofiices and pOstroads gave
a hearing this morning to number of peo-
pie who appeared to advocate the passage
of the measures which have been introduced
providing for the establishment of postal
savings banks. The committee was called
to order at IL O'clock. There was not a
quorum present at that time, but it was de-
cided to 20 on with the hearing. Assistant
Secretary Fairchild, speaking in behalf of
the State Charities association of New
York. addressed the committee briefly. He
made forcible argument in favor of the
measure. The government, he said, had
the machinery which. with but very little
additional expense, could take the savings
of the poor and give absolute security.
President Gilman of Johns Hopkins univer-
slty spoke as the representative of the Char
itv Organizations society of Baltimore.
Representative McComas Of Maryland. the
author of the house postal savings bill,
briefly but earnestly defended and
explained his measure. Mr.. Willis S.
Payne of New York opposed the establish
ment of postal savings banks on the ground
that it would injure private savings banks.

Undress 1.-THE Opera.

N. Y. Letter TO Boston Saturday Gazette.
A favorite costume at the opera and balls
is waist without neck or sleeves, ana in
some Instances not even shoulder-straps. If
you can imagine woman with no other
waist than her corsets you can get good
idea of this new cut. Some ladies, whose
modesty will not allow them 10 go the whole
length of this fashion, wear feathers instead
of shOulder-straps. heard of on, ! 1dy, the
other day, whose mOdesty forbade her
wearing one of these waists. but who hated
to be thought questionable. and who. as a
compromise with her conscience, wore flesh
colOred chamOis skin tina. fitted her so
tightly the very elect could not tell which
was the skin of the channels and which was
the skin of the lady. 1t is unfortunate that
these ladies of fashion should have any
modest computations, for IL sometimes
makes them feel little uncomfortable i'm
their evening undress; but it seldom inter
feres with their adopting the costume of
the day. The man who said that he was
inclined to leave the opera house because
he felt that he was playing the role of
Peeping Tom and looking at the ladies' i'm
their bath-tubs, just about described the
effect produced by some of these costumes.
The worst of Ii Is that the more that is
written and the more that is said on the
subject only drives these ladies to further
lengths

A Southern Genius.

Atlanta COnSt tuition.
While visiting the beautiful little town Of
Buena Vista, some time ago. tumbled on
some "reminiscences of the brilliant genius
who wrote, ''All Quiet Along the Potomac
Tonight" Poor Thad Oliver! Bright,
fascinating, brilliant and dissipated. He
could make the finest speech of any man at
the bar. He was better half drunk than
his breathern were in their coolest moments
His puns, his epigrams and jokes, to say
nothing of his sweet little poems, were
quoted by large circle of enthusiastic
friends. But he lived out his days before
he had time to fulfill the promise of his
youth.
l can well imagine how that sensitive soul
was moved to formulate that great poem,
as he stood picket at some lonely post be-
side the dark Potomac River. while
The stars up above with their glittering eyes
Keep guard, for the army is sleeping.
He had no accurate notion of the value of
his work, and the Scrawl was passed from
one to another of his comrades, and around
the campfire they read and commented
upon it. They were true critics. One of
his comrades told me that he had been
moved to tears by the lines:
thread
As he tramps from the rock to the fountain,
And he thinks of the two on the trundle bed,
In the cot far away on the mountain.
And when the battle was over, when
poor Thad had been roughly saluted by the
grim messenger, and lay in an unknown
grave on the battle Scared slope among tho
Virginia hills, then the literati read and
wondered. First one and then another OF
the sweet singers of the earth were credited
with this masterpiece of poetry. And there
lay the author, unheeding the wrangling and
the conflicting criticisms of those who wise
ly sat themselves in the seat of judgment.
Hark! Was it the night wind that rushed
through the trees?
VAST the moonbeams so wondrously fash
ing?
1t looked like o musket. "Ha! Mary, good
byI''
| And the lifeblood was ebbing and splashing.
! All quiet along the Potomac tonight;
| No sound save the rush of the river;
While soft fails the dew on the face OF the deaa'
| The pickets or duty forever!

ALONE AND FRIENDLEss.

There is something almost pitiful about
the position in which ex-President ARTHUR
now finds himself. Living in the chief
city of the country, among hundreds Of
people by whom he was formerly Familiarity
greeted. he is now almost as much alone as
though he were living in a wilderness.
Alieniated by his GOODNESS while i'm the
White house, the former political friends,
by whom he was once regarded as the
soul of good-fellowship, now pass him
coldly by. Estranged by his course
during the subsequent political cam
paign, his newer and more influential
friends regard him as little less
than a traitor, and will have nothing soci-
ally to do with him. Defeated in his am
bition to be reelected to the presidency,
and then to the senate, his public career is
closed. With but a modest competence,
nothing Is left him but 10 live in dignified
seclusion in his Wireless home, the only
bright spot in which is his charming daugh-
ter, just budding into womanhood. The
lot of ex-presidents, hampered as they are
something of the former dignity which
surrounded them, and more often
than not, with cherished friendships
destroyed by unfortunate political compli-
cations, is far from an enviable one. The
law of compensations is memorable in It's
working. 1t applies TO ex-presidents as eff
fectually as TO the humblest citizen. In
the case of Mr.. ARTHUR it would seem that
the cross which he is now bearing is hardly
worth the crown worn for so brief a sea
son. Eminence so dearly won is hardly
worth the price.

THE SELFISH STAR CHAMBER.

The war of the roses with its succession
of bloodless battles still continues in the
senate. One of the best points that has
been made was scored yesterday by Senator
KENNA i'm his hard, commOn-sense way of
presenting case when he accused the SEN
ate of being possessed of the hoggish dispo-
ton to monopolize the star chamber busi-
ness. The senators do not want the presi-
dents private papers for public use, for as
Mr.. KENNA says, if tine president was to
deliver them TO the senate the first thing
that body would do would be shut the pub
lie out and inside barred doors proceed to
examine the papers.

There seems to be little danger to
the vitality of the seed from the blue
stone. A field that has been very
smutty during the previous season will be
apt TO show some on the grain of the next
one despite Questioning, but persistence in
the practice will be more sure TO put an end
to the fungus germs, save so far as they
may be furnished by kind neighbors above
the wind" The fact that such large
quantity of spring wheat. particularly of
the soft varieties, is placed in the rejected
grade and selling at from 10 to % cents per
bushel lower on account of the damage by
smut, and that this can be remedied by such
simple process. ought to induce our farm
ers TO give the blue-StOne treatment trial.
Merchants and others, who are prepared to
furnish farmers with the blue vitriol in
quantities at reduced prices. should make
that fact known by advertising in the
GLOBE. where it will be read by the farm
ers of the Northwest"

TO WHEAT GROWERS.

AS the time for wheat sowing is at hand,
our Northwestern farmers naturally turn
their attention to the subject. The first
thing to arrest their attention is the matter
of selecting seed wheat. Experiments
made in England and also tried by farmers
in Iowa and Illinois, demonstrate that it
pays to separate carefully the small and
imperfect grains and SOW the largest and
most perfect berries. This insures larger
yield and better quality. Tests have been
made where fields, side by side, were
planted three years in succession and both
fields treated precisely the same, except in
the Seed and the result has been that the
field sowed with seed carefully selected in
the way we have Indicated, invariably
yielded from three to eight bushels more
wheat than the other. 1t will therefore
pay the farmer to take the time and trouble
to Gull his seed wheat.
Smut is getting to be the most serious
matter with the wheat growers of the
Northwest. The loss resulting from smutty
wheat to farmers in this section amounts to
millions of dollars annually A very sim
pie remedy is used In California to stamp
out the smut and it has been found to be
successful. 1t requires very little trouble
and but small expense and in the thousands
of cases where it has been tried has never
failed. The remedy for killing the smut is
simply to wet thoroughly each grain of seed
wheat in strong solution of blue vitriol, or
as some call it. blue stone. Hon. HORACE
DAVIS, a member of congress from the
San Francisco district and the largest
miller on the Pacific slope, says it is an in
fallible remedy for smut and suggests the
following method of preparation: Dissolve
one or two pounds Of blue vitriol to one
gallon of water. There is no danger of
getting it too strong. One gallon of the
solution will wet four bushels of seed. Put
the seed wheat into coarse bags about
fifty or sixty pounds to the bag:
tie them at the top so the wheat
will lie loosely in them; immerse them in
this pickle and let them remain for five OIL
ten minutes, turning the bags over few
times to be sure that the wheat has become
thoroughly wet. Then lift them out and
let the pickle drain back into the vessel that
contains the solution. 1t does not require
that the wheat shall be spread out to dry,
as it will absorb the moisture very quickly
Prof. billiard of the California Uni
versity of Agriculture writes: LAS regards
the Questioning of seed wheat. the solu
ton used is as strong as it can be made a
ordinary temperature, Such solution
contains about three pounds of vitriol to flvt
quarts OF water. The time of immersion
varies somewhat; the most definite pre-
scription given is that half sack should re
main In the saturated solution at least tire
minutes, and that it should be turned abou
several times during the interval to max
sure of wetting thoroughly. There is n,

drill. 1t will not werk perfectly wit
