The Alligator Wouldn't Eat.
From the CHICAGO Mdil.


Had great fun the other evening" said a
young man. Called on young lady friend of
mine. and found she had just received a little
bit of an alligator from a friend in Florida. The
saurian-afraid it would die, and all that Well,
l knew that you couldn't kill the reptile, but
didn't say so; encouraged the young lady to
worry and feel bad
:" 1t wants eggs, said; that's what it wants
raw eggs; and you had better hurry up and
give it some
She put the beast in the basket took it
up and said:
% Why haven't you got some cotton in here
for it to sleep ony
'She looked scared, and said 'Cotsong
Ives, cotton l said. She was nightly
alarmed, and hustled around and found a roll
of cotton, which she loaded into the basket.
Then she got a saucer and couple of eggs and
broke 'em and put 'em under the alligator
nose
They must be beaten and made frothy,' l
told her
$50 she did that But it wouldn't eat any
more than before, of course l Topped the
little beast over in the egg and smeared it all
with the batter, and it got SO scared that it
jumped around in the cotton and got tangled
up. You know egg paste is a great stuff for
sticking.
Then told her to take the cotton out; that
the alligator wouldn't sleep till it had eaten.
Then had her fix up a dish of pulverized
sugar and cream, and bring some Eew radishes
and some peach preserves aud some olives and
little onions and cheese.
"All this time the poor girl was worrying
dreadfully, and two or three times when the
beast let the curtains down over its ewes she
thought it was dying. But she never suspected
that was making game of her till told her at
last that she couldn't kill the alligator with an
Ak, and that all that it would need to eat for
while would be a dish of water and a lot of
pebbles and dirt. Then she chased me out of
the house With her brothers. big horn handled

DodRinR an Issue.

Two conspicuous instances of the pref
udice in the north against the negro have
occurred within the last few days. On
Tuesday. in the Episcopal convention In
New York, an effort was made to bring up
the question of the status of the negro in
the Episcopal church. The negro, it is we'll
understood, is claiming fuller recognition.
The committee of the convention which
had this matter in charge made a majority
and minority report The majority re-
port was accompanied by a resolution
giving the negro equal brotherhood in the
church. The minority report stated that
the adoption of this resolution would in
volve the acceptance of a principle which,
the minority believed, it would bs impossi-
BILE to adopt, The convention refused by a
vote of 100 to 121 to take up the matter
and thus lodged it. Toe delegates who
wanted it taken up were from the south
and west. Those who opposed it were
mainly from the north,
A month or more ago negro of excellent
character. who has an unimpeached and
unimpeachable record as a soldier in the
union army, applied to the Nathaniel Lyon
Post. at Hartford, Conn, for admission to
the grand army. A strong opposition to
his admission at once developed. After a
months struggle it was found that he could
not gain admission. and his application was
Withdrawn
There is prejudice against the negro in
all parts of the country. 1t is hypocritical
for the republican organs to pretend that it
does not exist in the north. 1t is stronger
there than in the south. notwithstanding
the fact that the s,nior class at Harvard has
just elected a negro to the position of class
orator. If the republican press would de-
vote more of its attention to prejudice
against the negro in the north and less to
it in the south, there would be less friction
between the two sections.

Does Blaine Want Hayti.

Did the rumcrs which have bsen circu-
lating in Washington recently, { rat Minis
ter Douglass carried with him to Hayt
instructions to do what he could to bring
the government and people of that country
to regard with favor and American pro
tectorate, originate with Mr.. Blainel /
so, did he start them with the view Of find
ing out what the people of this country
thinks of such schemel 1t is very wei
known that Mr. Blaine sympathizsi with
| Gen. Hipoolyte in the struggle between
that general and Gen. Legitime, and it wa
the general impression that an understand
| ing existed to the effect that this country
was to nave coaling station in Hayti IL
the event of Hippolyte's success.
OF course this country took no part in the
struggle between hippolyte and Legitime,
but there is no doubt that the former and
his followers believed that their cause had
the moral support of this government, and
this knowledge undoubtedly contributed to
their success.
1t will hardly be denied that this country
| ought to have a coaling station in the West
Indies, ID the station ought to be good
port where feat could rendezvous. Our
interests in Central and South America
may soon become much larger than at pres
ent. The Panama canal has been aban-
doned, but work mas begun on
the Nicaragua canal, which, there
is reason to believe, will be
constructed. Thos, who have control
of that enterprise are showing by
their n dtk that they are in earnest II it
should1dbel built, our interests in Central

lions at Gnee,s aud we should have more
need than evef before for good harbor in
the West Indies in which we would have
the privileges which we have in our own
harborS -
There has been talk from time to time of
purchasing Cuba, but Spain has never
shown willingness to part with that
island. .Rsthis coun ry could get control
of both Cuba and Hayti, their possession
might assist in settling matters that
now give this country a good deal of
trouble. One relates to race troubles, and
the other d yellow fever. This country is
in constant danger of being infected with
yellow fever from Havana. With Cuba
under our authority, system of sanitation
would, doubtless, be introduced into Havana
that would greatly lessen the danger from
yellow fever, and perhaps remove it alto
gether.
Hayti and Cuba would offer splendid
asylums for those of the blacks of this
country who are dissatisfied. The climate
would suit them, ana, in Hayti, at least,
they would have chauce to assist in show
ing what the blacks can do in the way of
self-government Under the protection of
this country, they would be free from any
interference from the governments of
Europe, and they would have in this coun-
trya splendid market for all their products.
MIR. Blaine may have scheme on hand
with respect to Hayti, and also Cuba
If he has, the fact will be known in the very
near future. He is sensational in his
methods, and nothing that he might suggest
with respect to foreign affairs would caus
great deal of surprise.

The Murderers Must be Punished.

Inc MuroererS MUST De funlbueo.
Now that Jury has bsen Obtained in the
Cronin case, speculation as to what the state
will be able to prove against the accused
parties is very active. There is no doubt
that the evidence upon which the state s
attorney relies is very strong. In fact, II
reports are to be credited. he has said
number Of times that he has evidence sufh =
Gent to hang every one Of the defendants.
The ;hsory is, of course, that there was
conspiracy to murder Dr.. Cronin, a1d th 1t
those who committed the crims we're only
instruments in the hands of parties who had
decided upon Cronin's death. 1t is currently
reported that the states attorney has the
correspondents of some of those who were
leaders in the conspiracy, and that it sup
ports the states theory fully.
Throughout the country the deepest in
terest is felt in the trial; and this interest
has been stimulated by the sens atiensl de-
velopments which occurred during the
seven weeks the court was engaged in OBJ
tanning jury. Tle fact that important
from the states attorneys Office, and also
that efforts were made to bride those who,
it was thought, might get on the jury, tend
to confirm the suspicion that at least some
of those who have been indicted are guilty.
Doubtless the progress Of the rial will be
very slow. The attorneys for the defense
will fight the case at every point, and fire.
quent discussions of the a1missibility of
certain kinds of evidence may bs expected.
If the states attorney is as well prepared,
however, as he has led the public to believe,
the chances are in favor of a verdict of
guilty, provided none of the jurors have
been tempered with. The public wants the
Cronin murderers punished, and will not be
satisfied unless they are.

Gen. Daniel Butterfield is in Paris, and
is greatly interested in an old manuscript
he has found in the library of France. The
manuscript is one by Saint Breuden, q
notable abbot in the sixth century, and
seems to relate to the discovery of America.
Gen. Butterfield told Prof. Dewey, of New
York, that he had discovered it by acct
dent, and had become so interested in it
that he would remain until he completed it.
HE had pored over it so long," sid Prof
Dewey, that he could read it faster than
could. There is some discussion now over
the story that party of abbots discovered
America long before Christopher Columbus
did, and it would seem strange at this time,
when we are all talking about the four
hundredth anniversary celebration, if Gen.
Butterfield were to discover evidence which
bore out the facts" If you make a dis
covery like that, general, keep it secret
until after 1892. Don't interfere with the
worlds fair.

the Washington colored preachers advice
to southern colored people to secure homes
and to defend them with Winchester rifles
was not intended to be mischievous, but
that it will do harm nevertheless. The la W
