Ten Thousand Dollar Checks.

Two spirited offers Of $4,000 contribu
tions for campaign purposes have been
recorded recently.
The first is by rich Democrat out
West, who offers to pay $40, 900, provided
three Justices of the Supreme Court of the
State he lives in, two Republicans and
one Democrat, will declare, after care
full and judicial examination of the
December message of President Cleveland,
that it can fairly be called free trade
document.
The second offer of $4,000 comes FROM
our amiable and accomplished District
Attorney, the Hon. John Randolph
Fellows. In his speech to the convention
at Buffalo on Wednesday evening, Col
Fellows promised to paw over $4,000 to
the Republican Campaign Committee out
of his own pocket, provided it could bs
shown that there was any representative
man in that part whose utterance in the
past would accord in the slightest degree
with this years Republican platform.
1t will be observed that both of these
offers of $4,000, liberal and spirited as
they undoubtedly are, partake of the ma
ture Of wagers. Even if the $4,000
checks should be signed and the money
paid, the cash would 90 in each case not

turer would enjoy no protection. Now,
twill scarcely be pretended, even by a
.protectionist, that the foreign producer
comes over here and pays this for the
consumer Of these goods. The consumer,
then, must pay whatever the increased
price is which these manufacturers enjoy.
Among the consumers are the negro
cotton growers of the South. To an
average family of FIVE negroes, if they
spend $40 year for clothes, shoes, blan
kets, utensils, tools and what moi, they
pay at least $l2 to protect the home
manufacturers. No foreigner pays this
for them, that's certain. But for the
tariff they would get what they now buy
for $2S, and this $l2, which is lifted out
oftheir pockets-and it is very much
more, brought down from manufacturers
to retailers-and transferred to the man-
facturers' pockets. Not only this; as
the cotton sold here takes the prices of
cotton sold abroad, which is the chief
market, and the foreign consumer of raw
cotton being shut out of our market, to q
great extent, cannot pay us as good
prices for cotton as he would otherwise
this cuts off at least u cents per pound
for cotton, which to the bale of 500
pounds is seven dollars and q half a bale,
or on the colored mans three bales,
twenty two and a half dollars. This is
the kind of protection the colored farmer
gets as we'll as his white neighbor: And
yet he is cajoled to vote for the Repub
licaus and high tariff that thus help
him to get poor and to stay 80. If we
wanted positive proof Why the colored
man should not be trusted with vote,
his vote against his own plain interests
here should settle it.

HE BESTED MORRlSSEY.
Jim Fisk's Office Boys One Round
That Led to His Success in Life,


New York Letter: c. N. White, chief
e. Western Railroad company for many
years, has resigned. He is succeeded
by Peter F. Donohue, who was Pay mas
ter Whites assistant. When Fisk and
Gould were in control of the Erie. Peter
Donohue was Fisk's office boy. He was
q slight-built boy, but his eye was
always on the right side of business.
One day Fisk gave orders to Peter. who
sat at the outside door of Prince Erie's
Office in the Grand opera house build
ing. that he would be engaged in some
particular matters, and must be out to
every applicant, no matter who it might
be. AT that time John Morrissey and
Fisk were great friends, and Morrssey
happened to want to see Fisk that day
on some important business. Peter
knew of the high regard Fisk had for
John Morrissey, and the latter was in
the habit, when he called at the Erie
building, of walking into Fisk's office
unannOunced and without ceremony.
On this day he was passing, when the
three and One-half foot Office boy rose
up and told the congressman that he
could not pass.
''How's that?" asked Morrissey.
''Mr. Fisk is busy, and can't see any
body" replied Peter Donohue.
He'll see me- said Morrissey.
mo, he won IT, insisted Peter.
The persistence of the boy rather
nettled the x-prize-fghting statesman.
and he said testify, taking step
toward the door:
''Do you know who l amp
Yes" said Peter coolly; "you're
John Morrssey.n
We'll" said Morrissey, II guess Mr..
Fisk will see me-"
With that he swept the diminutive
office boy aside and strobe toward the
door. His hand was on the knob but he
did not turn it. Peter Donohue sprang
on the broad back of the former ath-
lete and climbed up it like monkey.
He threw his arm around Nor
rissey's neck and gave it squeeze
that shut the big mans wind
off, and forced him to give all of his at
tention to freeing himself from the de-
termined office boys grasp. He finally
succeeded, but when the novel struggle
, was over the office boy stood again be-
tween the congressman and Fisk's door.
''Mr. Fisk gave me orders to let no.
body in there" exclaimed Peter, land
you can't go in. That's all there is
about it,"
to admiration Of the boys pluck and
faithfulness, and, laughing heartily
over his defeat, he went away. He told
Fisk next day about his encounter with
Peter, and how the latter had "downed
him." Nothing in all of Fisk's remark
able career every pleased him as much
as the ''mill,' as he called it. between
Morrissey and Donohue. The boy was
rapidly advanced by Fisk, and one of
the direct results of his affair with Nor
rissey is his present place at the head
of the most important branch of the
Erie railways financial department.
