The warning comes none too soon. The
door has barely closed behind the last clerk
when the old gentleman, in the twinkling of
an eye, overthrows all previous theories con-
corning him. He hops about like a jack-in-
the-box Off comes his coat in jiffy. Vest,
collar, necktie and suspenders follow it faster
than the words can be written. He rolls his
sleeves up above his elbows, and, Selling one
end of high standing desk, turns it end for
end. Every other movable desk in the bank
he treats in the same fashion. Then he turns
ali the chairs bottom up and makes a minute
examination of every leg and spindle. He
does all :lis in brisk and most business like
manner, as though the continual sol7ency Of
the bank depended on it.
Leaving all the chairs bottom up he almost
runs into the presidents room, turns up the
" gas again and moves the heavy table the dis
lance of its width to one side. Dropping on
his knees, he examines every inch of the
carpet where the table had stood and then
moves the table back again. When this task
has been accomplished he runs to the front
door and tries the lock. Then he gets long

The Test of Experiment.

Let those, if any such there be, who
question the efficacy of "Glenn's Sulphur
Soap" as means of preventing and oblit-
Grating complexional blemishes, give this
harmless cosmetic fair and honest trial.
There is no test like experiment to convince
the Judgment, and to that test Glenn fear
lessly appeals. Remember that "Glenn's
Sulphur Soap" differs entirely from the
dangerous cosmetics, and contains no dele
FERROUS substance. Beware of counter
feits. Sold by druggists. Coupled with
this appointment of the toilet, "HilPs In
Simultaneous Hair Dye" finds its place in
the dressing rooms of fashion. Time is in
exorable, and damages must be repaired A;
but with these two articles he may long be
held at bay

A Severe Case of Palpitation.
From the Washington Post

Opie p. Read the editor of the ArkdnsG1r
TT ,Ueler and author of the popular southern
novel Len GanSett,' is a big, tall, unkempt
good-Datured man, whose very clumsness is
graceful. 1t is that loose jointed, natural easy
grace which you See in an overgrown Newfound-
land pup, and which, DESPITE the disgrace into
which the word pup" has wrongfully fallen is
Dleasanter than that stiff manner of the self
conscious pupil Of Desarte. And Opie, though
he produces an enormous number of short
stories. can BE- as lazy as the next man when he
sets out to be.
one mOruIug his wife told him there was no
meat for breakfast and asked him to go to the
butchers, five or six blocks away. Opie started
taking a short cut through Lincoln park. AS
he was passing one of the fountains he saw sew
eral fine large German carp summing themselves
Just under the waters surface. In a moment

the breast of his coat, and was just started for

Factories in the South.

Birmingham, Ala, is certain to be great
manufacturing city. She already has large
manufacturing interests. Within her
limits are iron and steel mills, all of which
are in furnishing condition. A number
of other plants for the manufacture of steel
and iron are projected.
To her other industries cotton mills are
now to be added In our dispatches yester-
day the statement was made that a Biz
mingham company with a capital of
5000, 900 had been organized to erect a cotton
mill there to manufacture the finer AIDES
of cotton goods and also that tine nacnin-
cry of two Philadelphia cotton mills would
be moved there at once. These cotton
factories doubtle S will be followed by
Others and IN a few years BIrmingh ham will
be known for her cotton, as well as her
iron, factories.
1t has not been many years since the
northern manufacturers laughed at the
suggestion that the south would in the ne II
future rival the north in manufacturing
They do not laugh at it now. On the con-
trary, they con ider it with serious faces
1t has even been limited that Mr.. Carnegie,
the Pittsburg millionaire iron and steel
manufacturer, intended to erect iron and
steel works in Birmingham. He denies
however, that be has any such intention
He proposes to stick TO Pittsburg. Bot
whether he goes to BIrming ham or not,
that city is bound to be great manufactur-
ing center.
The increase in the output Of pig iron in
the south within the last year has be n
wonderful Only few days ago the north
ern manufacturers of pig iron were com
pelled to make large reduction in the
price Of that article because of the southern
competition. There is no doubt that iron
and steel, as good as are produced at Pits
burg, can be manufactured in several places
in the south, and it il not only being manu-
featured, but is being sold readily.
There is no doubt that cotton, iron and
steel goods can be manufactured more
cheaply in the south than the north, and it
is probable that most of tho cotton and
iron mills of the country will be situated
eventually in the south. When once it is
fairly understood that the south is the
better place for industries of this kind
there will be a rush of capital and imml-
grants to this section that will far exceed
present expectations.

Republican craftsmanship.

The republicans in congress are opposed
to comforting statehood upol New Mexico
Taey pretend that politics has nothing tC
do with their opposition, but they will
hardly succeed in getting the country tc
believe them. The extreme partisanshiT
which the Republican party has always
shown in dealing with public questions is
in itself very good evidence that broad
policy will not be adopted now, and that
the only reason why that party wants tc
keep out New Mexico is that it would in all
probability be democratic.
Senators Vest and Springer have been
searching the Congressional Record lately
for territorial legislation, and they have
made some discoveries that place the
Republican party in a rather awkward DO.
sition, and that may have an important
bea ing on the question of admitting New
Mexico. They found that fourteen years
ago bill was before congress tc
admit that territory, and that
nearly all of the republicans of the House
voted for it. At that time Stephen B.
Elkins was the delegate from the territory,
and the belief then among the republicans
was that, if made a state, New Mexico
would be reliably republican. The bill was
defeated by a majority of only three
Senator Farwell, of Illizois, and Senator
Stewart, of Nevada, we're then members OF
the House, and they not only voted for the
bill, but made speeches in favor of il. II
Senators Farwell and Stewart were in
favor Of the admission of New
Mexico fourteen years ago, when the
terrltory's claims to admission were not a.
great as they are now, why should they not
be in favor of it now? And if the repub.
lican members of the House voted in 1876
to admit New Mexico, why should the re.
publican members of the House vote against
admission fourteen years later, when the
territory has a much larger population
The answer is very plain. New Mexico
was republican in lS75-it is democratic in
1888. The republicans have been put in q
hole by Senators Vest and Springer, but
that doesn't trouble them. They will &c
right on legislating for the Republican
party.

Several republican members of congress
were disposed to be facetious when. in his
last message, Mr.. Cleveland failed to refer
10 civil service reform. 1t was intimated
soon afterward, however, that the presi-
dent would send in a special message on
that subject, and the probability is that he
will in few days. The report of the civil
service commits ion is about to be placed
before him. and in transmitting it to con-
gress it is said he will accompany it with a
message. Mr.. Cleveland has done more for
civil service reform than any Of his prede-
cessors, and those reformers who voted

senator Cullom az d the Reporter
FrOW The NelU York Sun.

HfO"t ttt -'ttt ANh sun
Senator Cullom met a newspaper man here
to-day who recalled to his mind curious Incl
dent of the national convention of 1880 in
which both took part. Cullom was then gov
ernor Of Illinois and the newspaper man was a
keeper of one of the inner doors at the conven-
ton. When they met the newspaper man re-
marked:
Senator, you may not remember it, but you
How is that?" asked the senator.
"Do you remember the young man that got
you into the convention one day in 1882"
why, Of course do; you are not the young
man, are your If you are, do owe you a debt,
sure enough"
The conversation brought out the incident.
Governor Culom forgot mis- ticket one day and
when he told the outer doorkeeper that he was
governor Of the state, the man would not be-
lieve him. Governor Culon affected the hay
seed in his dress an manners in those DAYS lie
insisted on being LEI in, and finally the guard
consented TO take him as far as the inner door
There he presented him 70 the young door
keeper, saying;
Here's fellow who says he's Shelby Cul-
lom; don't take any stock In him. but II YOU RS
mind TO let him in you can do it,
The governor took the matter good naturedly
and assured the doorkeeper that he really was
Shelby Culom.
There's a lot Of fellows that come here with
just such stories as that every day" said the
doorkeepar. IF you're Governor Culom Won
ought 10 have n ticket"
After some arguing, however, the doorkeeper
said: I'm I II you what III do. You come in
side and III tell you mighty quick whether
you're a fraud or not"
The governor said all right. and followed the
young man 70 the platform. When they were
where they could get good look at the people
sitting there, the doorkeeper said. Now do you
see anybody you know
Before the governor had time TO pick out any
one, Bob lngersoll saw him and called out:
Hey, Shelby, come over here"
. 1t IS all right, governor, said the doorkeeper.
and I'm sorry / made you any trouble. bnt
your admit that did the square thing"
Yes, Young man, you did, and owe Won a
debt SAID the governor, and the incident ended
until to-day.

The Outrage Debate.

Is not the country getting tired Of the
everlasting discussion OF alleged southern
( 'outragesf The Senate keeps a stock of
( these alleged ''outrages" on hand, and every
once in awhile it gives them an airing. The
republican senators never seem to be 50
well satisfied with themselves, nor SO conf
dent that they are serving their party faith
fully, as when they bring one of those pre-
tended 'outrages" before the Senate, and
make it the subject of their oratorical
efforts.
An outrage alleged to have been COM
mitted in Texas is now occupying the
attention of the Senate. If all the senators
who want to say something about it are
given a chance it will occupy a greater
part of the remainder of the session.
Senator Evarts has had his say about it,
and so has Senator Coke. The former
spoke for the republicans, and the latter
for his state. The Senate is not much
wiser than before they made their speeches,
and as for the people, it is doubtful if they
have paid attention to the remarks of
either senator. AS the debate proceeds
they may take little more notice
of it, but the chances are they will
not. They are not interested in il. They
can't make out that there is great deal
in the alleged outrage Three witnesses
declared that free ballot and a fair count
were denied in a certain county in Texas,
and that the democrats used violence to in
timidate republican voters. Other wit
nesses testified that these three witnesses
NV ~ haIjof =
publican senators can get witnesses who
have some reputation for integrity and
veracity in their respective neighborhoods,
would it not be advisable for them to aban-
don the Outrage" business for awhile!
If they insist upon discussing political
outrages, why do they not give little at
tention to those in the north? What
greater outrage on the ballot could
there be than that alleged to have
been perpetrated in l diana last Novem-
berl There does not seem to be any
conflict Of testimony respecting the charge
that citizens of that state were divided into
'blocks of five" and corrupted in sight of
tie polls. Why not investigate the numer-
GUS cases of alleged intimidation of EN-
ployes by employers reported to have
occurred in various parts of the north
last November Surely there is as much
necessity for correcting alleged northern
outrages as there is for correcting alleged
southern ones.
The New York sun asks Senator Evarts
why be doesn't demand an investigation of
a certain political outrage in his own state
an outrage which enables the republicans
to control the legislature, although the state
is democratic. The republicans are guilty
of this outrage The legislature which
they control, refuses, although required to
do so by the constitution, TO order an
enumeration of the inhabitants of the state
With just apportionment the democrats
would control the legislature. The Sun
says: 1.-The republican senator's who are so
perturbed about insuring republican form
Of government to the south, might pluck
ont of their own eyes beams enough to
make a pontoon bridge over Salt river"
