WAsHINGToN-There is the highest au
thority for the statement that an effort is
being made to secure the reappointment
of Lord Sackville as Minister of this cOun-
try when the Harrison administration
comes INTO power. The argument in
favor of the movement is that the British
Minister was sacrificed to meet a politi-
cal exigency; that the magnitude of his
offence was greatly exagg Grated by rea'
son of the political conditions as they
existed at that time, and that the deliber-
ate judgment of the American people,
after the matter shall have been dispas-
sionately considered, will be favorable to
his recall. 1t is not known that Lord
Sackville is a party to this scheme, but
certain of his friends have interested
themselves in the matter.

The Figs of Smyrna.
London Times.

The Journal Of the chamber of Com
merce of Constantinople reports that the
Smyrna fig season opened on Aug. u and
ID, when the first consignment of dried
figs arrived at the station at Adm.
They were received with loud cheering
and the usual ceremonies, and were laden
on geyly decorated camels and followed
by throng of shouting people TO the
fruit market. This public excitement
viii be understood when it is stated that
a large number of poor families in
SMYRNA obtain their entire livelihood
during the fig season. In the two or
three months which it lasts they earn not
less than 100000 Turkish pounds. Among
the Symrna figs two kind are recognized
in the market--Balt9zzikia and Lopla.
The former can also be dried, but the
packing and dispatch offer difficulties,
and they are consumed in the COUNTY,
Only the Lopia is dried and exported.
There are three kinds of these growing
in different parts of the country. AS
soon as the figs ara ripe they are shaken
off the trees without ceremony, and fall
on dry grass which is placed around every
tree. Twenty-four hours later they are
done up in sacks and sent off TO their
destination

How Wealthy Russian Duke Manages to
Spend His Income.

How Wealthy Russian Duke Manages to
Spend His Income.
Brilliant nove:ists and dramatIsts would
undoubtedly find a subjecE worthy OF
study and description in the person of
the Duke of Mondelf, an opulent member
of the important Russian colony in Paris.
The Duke leads life which resembles to
q certain extent that OF one of those
Roman emperors or oriental potentates
described by picturesque historians. He
lives In splendid hotel in Avenue du
Bots de Boulogne with his mother,
Princess Woronzoff, who was sister to
Prince Nicolas Troubetzkoi and mem
Der of the'hoUsehold of the Gear before
her lawsuit with her nephew, Count Wor-
onzoff, one OF the Emperor Alexander's
court marsbais.
The Duke Of Mondelf is repUted to
have 9190OO year, most of which he
manages to spend in magnificent man
ner. He never goes to bed until day
light appears, and hesgenerally gets up
at o'clock In the afternoon. After a
meal, and extended at full length on the
sumptuous divan, he receives his friends
and visitors, his mother, the Princess, be-
ing present at the levee. On these occa-
sions the duke wears either superb
AASSSi1S SO"4i III al SoiOICo
lined with satin of the hue of the peach
and garnisbed with silver braidipg and
| ornamented with jewels. or an ample
jacket of heliotrope velvet, gold braided,
and clashed together with ducal coronets
studded with brilliants. While conversing
with his visitors the host, it is said, toys
with precious stones and diamonds of
rare value, but polished and uncut. In
the intervals of conversation a band of
Neapolitan singers MARBLE the melodious
airs of sunny Italy, and these are sue
| ceeded by Tzigne musicians who make the
ducai halls ring with their wild and dia-
bolical strains. After each musical per-
Torrance the leader of the band ap-
proaches the divan. kisses the hand of
| the most noble master of the house, and
| receives his orders for the next moroccan
of demoniac music. Later in the even
ing the Duke repairs to G. splendid cafe
on the boulev&rds, where he dimes with
his friends and listens once more so the
fddlers, to whom he distributes bounti-
| full largesse in the shape of fstfUls of
louis, while his guests quaff liberal bum
| pers of sparkling champaign in his
| honor. Such is an outline Of the ordin-
| airy life OF an aristocrat IN this capital,
which dispite its Spartan republicans
and the lamentations of those who still
| praise past days, is still evidently a rem
devious of the gay and the luxurious.

TOBACCO RAISING IN THE EAST.
The Noxious Weed is Now Grown in British
North BOrneo.

NOItu DOTutU
London Times
In the last report from the British con-
sular agent at Sandakan, the capital of
British North Borneo, reference is made
80 the planting of tobacco in this new
territory. The cultivation of "urapn to-
bacco has proved exceedingly lucrative in
Sumatra. where some of the leading COM
panles pay dividends of over 100 per
cent, and in one case 125 per cent. was
paid In 1886. This tobacco combines
quality with elasticity and extreme thin
ness, so that the leaf covers as large a
number of cigars. The value attached
to 1t may be judged from the fact that
while the price of ordinary smoking to-
bacco is about Sd per pound, wholesale
and in bond, ''urap" fetches from 2s Sd.
to IS Cd. On the other hand, the caltiva
tlon is attended by unusual risk and very
heavy expenses, and it wss long thoupht
that the peculiar con Injunction of soil and
climate necessary for its production was
confined to Sumatra, but experiments
have shown that IL can also be grown in
British North Borneo. Samples from,
there were highly recommended at the
colonial and Indian exhibition, and suit
able land for the purpose is being eager-
ly taken up, chiefly by Dutch planters.
Most of the capital employed and of the
Europeans engaged are Dutch, because
hitherto the production of 'urap" to-
bacco has been almost entirely a Dutch
industry carried on in Dutch colonies.
One Of the principal reasons for the
Dutch purchasing tobacco lands outside
thsir own colonies is the very heavy tax
alton to which they are subjected by their
own governments. In Java the planter
has TO pay coolie poll taxes, a license tax,
high railway charges. export and many
other dues, and in addition has to pay
yearly a tax on his land, which would buy
it outright in q 999year lease in North
Borneo, whsre there are practically no
taxes or imports whatever except those
on opium, spirits, and the like. Hence
the Dutch are not only prospecting the
country for tobacco, but also for sugar,
coffee and other cultivation.

SHALL THE SOUTH REMAIN soLID2

A Solid South against a Solid North!
This is one solemn fact. While the Dem
ocrats carry New Jersey and Connecticut,
the Republicans win West Virginia.
New Jersey and Connecticut are only the
political overflow of the metropolis, and
we may as well accept it as the Solid
South against the Solid North. And in
this we note the one circumstance most
to be regretted, something that our
Southern friends should think over
seriously. That Solid South delusion,
that holding in an extricable political
embrace the dead and damned Coufeder-
acy-truly, truly, it is miserable bust
mess, and now we see what becomes of it.
If our Southern friends-those who have
sense enough to remember that some
things have happened since 1S65-would
only set themselves to the abandonment
national gain. 1t is really such politics
rs We hear about in Bedlam and other
stricken resorts and should be abandoned
now and forever. The time will come
when we can study the battle field in its
larger aspects. There are mnsy lessons
10 be learned-lsssons in the way OF
patience, forbesrance, good will, recogni
zion of historical teachings, acceptance of
the higher duties of patriotism. For the
present, however, the immediate results
absorb public attention. The Republi-
cans have won a decisive victory-a vic
tory along the whole line. We enter up
on new period in our political history
lone of experiments, problems, anxieties.
II the victers are wise We may hope for
another era of good feeling
like what threw its soft, sunny glow over
the early years of the century. Let Us
hope for it-pray for lido what We can
TO secure it. Should passion come with
triumph and folly rule, than we shall be
in the presence of dangers graver than
any which yet have menaced the Republic.
The election was the voice of the people,
spoken with emphasis. But in this en-
phasis there are ominous undertones,
Which craftsmanship, in the presence of
communism, labor agitations and social
psriis everywhere, would do veil to con-
d OF.
