Conservative New York.


New York Is more conservative in her
attitude towards the South than any Of the
other Northern cities She recognized years
ago that the war was over. ana that the
country was reunited The press of that
city, as a rule, is liberal in its political tone.
There are two or three Republican papers
of the bloody shirt order, but their sectional
shrieks are generally kept for national cam
paigns, and do not enter into State and local
contests. This was shown last fall, when
Col. John r. Fellows. an ex-Confederate
officer, was elected for District Attorney OF
that city. While he was mercilessly asSailed
by his opponents for n good many things,
the part he took in the war was ignored by
the Republican Iapers, probably because 1t
was not regarded by the people as an argu-
ment against him The President himself
warmly endorsed him in an open letter.
One reason of this conservatism is that
there are a great many Southerners i'll that
city, and many Of them are potent factors
in business, politics and society. The peo-
pie of the two sections have come together
in the daily walks Of life to such an extent
that the animosities of the past are about
forgot en-. These Southerners in many in
stances went there after the war With no
capital except willing hands and sharp wits,
and they have accumulated fortunes and
risen TO positions of influence.
Among the Southerners of note are Vic
tor Newcomb, of Kentucky; the CARROTS,
of Maryland; the Inmans, of Georgia. Gen.
r. NJ. Logan, of South Carolina, and DIR.
Norvin Green, of Kentucky. These belong
t. the realm of finance. The medical pro
fession contains such members as Drs. Met
calf, Gailiard, Wiley, Arnold, Jones and
Sims The bar is represented by Roger A.
Pryor, John r. Fellows, John c. Calhoun,
Burton Ii. Harrison and A. H. H. Dawson.
Judge A. j. Requier, of South Carolina, and
Algeron f. Sullivan, of Virginia, were con-
spicuous legal lights before their deaths.
Rev. Charles F. Deems represents the South
in the pulpit.
The women, no doubt, have done much to
bring about fraternal feeling. Among the
New Workers who married Southern women
are John Jacob Aston, William X. Wander
bilt, Henry Clews, James Brown Potter,
John Stevens, and others. President Ar
thurs wife was a Miss Herndon, of Virginia
Commodore Vanderbilt married an Ala
bama lady, and Commodore Garrison a
Missouri lady. A number of Southern men
in New York married in that city.
The most effectual way to blot out the
bitterness of the past is for the people of the
two sections to come into daily contact with
each other. When they do this, they see
that neither are half so bad as they are
painted. Such has been the ex perience in
New York, and in the Southern cities where
numbers of Northerners swell the popula-
ton. Northerners are given a warm wei
come in the South, and Southerners are
made to feel at home in the North Sec
tional feeling at this time is hardly worth
mentioning Only a few politicians and
editors try to fan its dying embers into a
fame

Unlocking Executive Session Secrets.


Senator Frye, in relating the other day how
newspaper correspondents sometimes got the
secrets from executive sessions Of the Senate,
said: "One of the smartest tricks ever heard
of by which an executive session secret was
pulled out of a senator was perpetrated by Maj.
Clark, the well-known correspondent. had

come over from the House, when the nomlna-

Knfts 80 quietly;
Rosy little Jenny there
The table spreads for tea.
Ger the orchard crimson clouds
Tint the apple boughS;

Tea can wait; tbs growing late:
Jenny, call the cows
Jenny's shapely sunbrowned hant
Shades her sunny eyes;

Rich with sunsets dyes.

Granny knits her brows
And her stocking as she says:
Time to call the COWS!
Tea can wait; it's growing late;
Jenny, call the cows!'
Jenny sees, mid twilight's glow,
Some one down the lane;
Then she's IN such haste to go
That granny signs again.
'Bless the girl her bonnet's here
She startles all the house;
Don't need any urging now
To go and call the COWS,
Tea must wait, although it's late,
While she calls the cows"

For there beneath the boughs
Lips meet Jenny's blushing cheeks
While calling home the COWS!
Then granny she SMILES quietly;

Kansas City, Mo-, has her full share OF
sensations The latest is that young lady
Miss Mary Morris, daughter of a clergy
man, married George Holmes, young mil
lionaire, who for some time had been mas
querading as a horse jockey. When the
marriage became known the parents on
both sides freely forgave the young people
and Mr.. Holmes, ST., gave them hand
some house, fully equipped, together with a
considerable sum of money, as a bridal
present. Although this bit.o romance ter.
inmates very happily, it would not be well
for other young ladies TO cast their destinies
with horse jockeys, all of whom are not

There appears to be pretty fair prospect
that Congress will make a handsome appro-
priation for the Colored Worlds Fair which
it is proposed to hold in Atlanta. The bill
as introduced by Senator Blair makes an
appropriation of s4OO, 900, and the majority
of the committee which has it in charge APP
pears favorably disposed toward that
amount, although Few of the members
think the sum is too large. A motion was
put and carried in the committee on Friday
that an appropriation of money the sun
being left blank should be made i'll aid OF

ing of Senators Bowen. Palmer and George
was then appointed to draft bill for report

Getting at the Facts.

L
The Dakota blizzard, which occurred Jan
| 70 is still the subject of widespread discus
sion The number of deaths from freezing
has not been accurately ascertained, and
the Dakota papers are protesting in a very
lively manner against alleged exaggerated
reports about it. They assert that num-
her of Eastern and Western papers have
persistently magnified the extent and sever
ity of the disaster, with view to injuring
the Territory. 1t Is true, they say. that
the storm was phenomenal in severity and
suddenness, and that its results were very
distressing, but if the precautions known to
Dakotans had been taken not one of the
deaths reported need have occurred The
storm came in the middle of the day, when
almost everybody was out of doors, on
farms or the prairies, or at school, and
clothed for pleasant weather yet the num-
Der of deaths was only little over 100
On the other hand some of the Western
papers say the people of Dakota are trying
to conceal the real facts that the business
men, press and officials have formed an
alliance for singing the old tune of the Ter
ritory's prosperity, prospects and lovely
climate in order to allure immigrants to its
precincts and to keep up the boom that set
in some years ago, but that even yet the
bodies of persons who persisted are being
found.
1t may be, probably is, true that the re-
ports have been exaggerated Such dis
asters are very apt to be magnifed at the
outset, and it is a very hard matter to get
at the real facts. Enough is known how
ever, to warrant the statement that Dakota
is poor place for immigrants. Putting the
number of deaths at 100, the lowest esti-
mate, and the result is sufficiently appalling
to keep people from going there. Attention
has heretofore been called to the inducements
offered emigrants by the South, but it is
not out of place to allude to them again.
Why should people go to Dakota the home
of death-dealing billiards., when in Georgia
and Florida they can find n delightful
climate and every facility for making a
livingl The South would be glad to have
good class of emigrantS She can promise
them pleasant homes and the advantages of
a rich and varied soil. The press should
make known these facts.

It Would Benefit the People.

1t is reported that the big travelling circus
will retire from the road. Their retirement
would probably bring tears to the eyes
of the small boy, and il would, no doubt,
cause older persons, who go to the circus
only to take the children, to heave a sigh of
regret, but the people generally would be
the gamers.
Under the interstate commerce law, dis
elimination in favor of one class of patrons
against another is prohibited. The rail
roads formerly contracted to transport cir
Gus trains for an entire season at greatly
reduced rates. and a considerable number
of men could be crowded into car without
extra charge. Now, however, the trains
are charged for at full rates, and the regu-
lar fare is collected from every passenger
The circus managers have agreed that they
cannot afford to pay these rates, and as the
old caravan system is too slow for profit,
they must either retire from the business or
90 to some country where there is no inter
state commerce law.
There are said to be forty-three circus
companies in the country, and the with
drawal of their patronage from the rail
roads would entail considerable loss upon
those corporations This will be readily
understood when it is stated that one of the
biggest shows incurs a daily expense Of
So, 900 for transportation.
But the railroad companies loss would be
the peoples gain. The circus takes from
the public very large sum of money an
nually, and this sum comes principally
from those who cannot very well afford to
part with it. Men who would invest their
money to better advantage in an article of
home consumption feel bound to attend the
circus, and to buy tickets for the entire
family, and before they leave the tent
find themselves out more then they can
spare.
The small towns are the principal losers
by the circus When the animals come to
town, the farms are left to take care of
themselves. Whites and negroes alike from
every nook and corner of the county swarm
into town, and for weeks afterward there is
very little money afoat. The loss to trade
is very appreciable.
