An Interesting Interview With
Prince Bismarck.

He Would Not Interfere with the Work
ingnen on May Day, Nor Would He
Display Anxiety-ROported Revolt of
the Forces of Emin Bsy-Stanley Leaves
Brussels for LOndon--Foreign,
LONDON. April 28.-The Herald pub
fishes an interesting account of an in
terview with Prince Bismarck. The
prince said that, IL in power, he would
not interfere with workmen on May
Day. Neither would he display anxiety,
which would only increase the aggres-
siveness of the agitators. Antagonisrn
between employers and employed was a
natural law and necessity of human
progress.
Progress would cease should men ever
become satisfied. Content was only
possible either with slavery, as in Africa,
or where munificent nature does not ask
man to work. He dwelt upon the need
of combating Socialism, the victory of
which, he said, would mean govern
ment by the least intelligent. He pre-
dicted that Socialism would give deal
of trouble yet. He said that man who
would yield to the present manifestation
was a coward-that it was sometimes
true benevolence to shed the blood of
riotous minority in defense of law
abiding majority.
He continued: "The first requisite in
a government is energy-not to be
time-server, nor to sacrifice the future
to temporary or present convenience.
The firmness, indeed the fierceness, of
the ruling power is guarantee of peace
at home and abroad. A government
which is yielding to the majority and re-
tanning its authority by concessions, thus
paving the way for further concessions,
is in sore strait"
He declared that May Day was not a
dangerous enemy. The naming of the
day for an assault need not be dreaded.
1t would be merely a sham fight like
that of the Salvation Army.

tack on Senator Vance, in fact the
Pros, esstpe Farmer seems to have a
special spite at the greatest Southern
man in the National Congress. To
the Ne7os' way of seeing this attack, it
means this and this alone: Col Polk
is ambitious beyond his strength; he
wants Nance's place; his only hope to
get it is to rouse the Farmers against
Vance, and blind man can see that
that is the meaning of this war.
Vance is true to every trust at Wash
lngton as true can be, and at
times it seems that he alone is left to
fight monopoly and those who would
put the South back to the awful DAYS
following the war. Now, the thing
for men who think, to do, IS this: De-
eide in your minds who will better rep
resent the States interest, Vance or a
Republican like Mott or Eaves; for
that is what it means. Polk has no
shadow of chance to get in, and if,
by breeding strife in the folds of the
Democratic party, there is Republi-
can Legislature elected Vance will go
down. The Nfzos knows that large
majority of candidates this year are far
mers, and the farmers, as rule, are
satisfied with what they have. Listen

New YORK, Sept. 9th, 1890.
\ design for General Grants monu
ment has at last been selected and every
thing seems to point to an early COM
mencement of the work of construction.
The committee in charge are evidently
filled with grand ideas, both as to the
nature OF work and the amount OF sub
scriptions. The estimated cost is $500,
OOo but this estimate is rather elastic
and may be reduced to $15O,OOO, or
raised to round million. The design
adopted is the work of John II. Dun
can, and was selected from among five
competitors but siXty-tive designs had
been previously submitted and all reject
ed. The proposed monument will en-
body the idea OF q memorial hall, in
front of which will be placed colossal
equestrian statue of the dead hero. The
Hall will be Grecian III style, cover &
space OF 100 feet square, and will rise to
a height OF 16O feet from the ground. 1t
will be capped by dome-like structure
with sculptured figures on top. There
will be an interior gallery 122 feet above
the base from which visitors can look
down into the hall, which will hold
900 people. The sarcophagus to con-
tain General Grants remains will be i'll a
crypt opposite the main entrance. The
monument as whole will somewhat
resemble the Pantheon at Rome and the
tomb of Napoleon.

more than 200 physicians in different
parts OF Europe. He has tasted publicly

and 40 in London. He intends to beat
the record now by fasting 10 days in
New York. While fasting he takes violent
exercise, like fencing, climbing and walk

The Obelisk in Central Park is again
demanding attention by reason of its
decay, and the commissioners have deci-
ded to apply another coat of paratfine.
The Obelisk was treated in Il similar
manner five years SGD, and as it is still
standing, the experts claim that the
coating was success. Others, however,
are convinced that paratfine will destroy
the; stone in a comparative short time.
1t IS well known that the obelisk in
London is decaying and it is equally well
known that our climate is much more
severe. Nevertheless, | think we can
compose ourselves; it lasted for 5000
years on the banks of the Nile and will
probably last u few years here.

TIMELY FASHION HINTS.

Colored pearls amount to craze.
The color of the newest note paper Is
olive green.
A new stuff for travel gowns is SNOW
flake suiting
Cloth walking dresses should have
bonnets to match.
Black dresses were never In higher
favor than at present.
The shoes and slippers for the coming
season are but variations on the styles
last winter.
The straight stand up collar which
barely misses meeting in front is called
ultra correct
Hammered gold rings with diamond
or ruby are the latest styles in mems
finger rings in London.
The suede walking glove is highly
dressy, but as four or five outings end its
usefulness its sale will be restricted to
capitalists
The natty French surtout with double
breasted fronts, deep side pockets, and
wide turn down collars and revers, has
reappeared.
A soft bow of mousseline chiffon below
the chin is most becoming. They are
sold at small prices to match any gowns,
and can be pinned on in moment.
With modern dresses the difficulty to
keep them from all the impurities of the
pavement is greater than ever, for they
are so narrow that it is almost i~aoossi-
BILE to hold them up at all.
Pretty afternoon dresses of cashmere
and camers hair are made very effective
by the use of velvet or heavily repped
ribbons, these being more favored for
such decoration than MORE or fancy rib
bons of any sort.
a desirable change may be made III
the plain school dresses SO popular with
young girls by having two waists, one Of
the most prominet color in the plaid,
with rolling collar and cuffs of black
velvet, and the other of black cashmere,

TIE question Of teachers' salaries is re-
eeivlng much discussion At the teacher
county institutes now being held in many
counties in the State. Il seems TO be the
general impression that teachers shsuld be
better paid for the services they render and
that there should be no distinction between
male and female In the matter Of pay.
Equal pay for equal work is 70 be the
watehWord. and 1t Is reasonable that 90
just matter should be early settled. We
presume the teachers and directors Who
meet here next month viii also find time
TO give this very important question some
consideration. The ADVOCATE has al.
