Squelch the Scheme.

Congress has been annoyed for years by
lot of people, at the head of whom is Capt.
Cowden, who want a chance to dig an out
let for the flood waters Of the Mississippi
river through Lake Borgne. Congress
after congress has given these people
hearing and refused to appropriate money
for carrying out their scheme, but they con-
tinue to bob up smilingly, and, with a per-
tenacity worthy Of better cause. they hang
about the congressional Hobbies. catching
congressman whenever they can, and pre-
senting to them the merits of their outlet
scheme. OF course there must be a great
deal of money in the scheme. or else those
who are promoting it would have aban-
doned it long ago.
This congress has given the promoters of
the scheme hearing, and the committee in
charge OF the matter. having heard what
they had to say. called the engineers Of the
Mississippi river commission to give their
opinion of it. OF course they condemned
it. They have always condemned it. All
frst-cIass engineers who have ever given it
thought have condemned it. Gen. Com
stock, in his testimony on Monday. showed
that it would not relieve any part of the
river of flood water except that below the
outlet, and as the proposed outlet is below
New Orleans it would be practically useless,
as most of the country below that city is of
very little account.
Gen. Comstock pointed out that if the
proposed outlet were constructed the river
would shoal in front of New Orleans, thus
destroying the harbor; Lake Borgne would
fill up, thus destroying the outlet, and the
levees in front of New Orleans would have
to be raised to protect that city.
The country must be tired of Capt Cow
den and his outlet scheme by this time, and
If congress wants to do the public a real
service it will so effectually squelch the
scheme that it will never he heard of again

Marked for a Victim.

It is announced that it is the purpose of
the republican majority to unseat Repre-
sentative Breckenridge. of Arkansas The
subcommittee sent 10 his district in Arkan-
sas to investigate the charges made against
him did not find evidence sufficient to sus-
tain them. 1t did not find any grounds for
thinking that Mr. Breckenridge knew who
assassinated John NJ. Clayton, who was the
republican candidate for congress against
Mr.. Breckenridge. and it got no testimony
that tended to show who the assassins were.
Hundreds of blacks were called as witnesses,
and the great majority Of them said that
they voted for Mr.. Clayton. On SUCH
testimony as this the republican majority
will, it is believed, turn Mr.. Breckenridge
out of the House. They want a victim for
campaign purposes, and they have selected
him. They want to make the northern
people believe that the colored vote is sup
pressed. and also to influence the coIored
voters in the south to vote the republican
ticket.
There was one thing worthy of notice
that kept cropping out during the investi-
cation, and that was that the colored re-
to prevent colored voters from voting the
democratic ticket. These leaders are gen.
orally preachers, and politicians who have
gained prominence on account of their su-
perior intelligence. Several of the
colored witnesses declared that
there were many colored men in
their respective counties who would have
voted the democratic ticket if they had
dared. Some of them did vote that ticket,
and afterward denied doing so, for the
reason that they would have been ostracised
by their race had the fact that they were
democrats been known. One colored wit
ness said that he voted for Breckenridge,
and when the fact became known he barely
escaped whipping, and another testified
that the father of girl whom he was visit
ing threatened TO kill her because she
associated with a democratic negro.
Under the circumstances it may very
well be asked whether any considerable
number of those who testified before the
committee told the truth when they said
that they voted for Mr.. Clayton. If the
colored voters are so much under the infiu-
ence of the colored leaders, may they not
have been bulldozed into testifying as they
did? AS all of them were paid for being
witnesses most of them doubtless were anx-
ious to testify, but it is question whether
many who did not vote at all were not in
fuenced by their fears to swear that they
voted for Mr. Clayton.
OF course the investigating committee,
being republican in character, was not
anxious to have it appear that the colored
witnesses were swearing falsely. The Re
publican party having determined to make
a victim of Mr.. Breckenridge, the committee
sought for testimony that would sustain its
party. 1t was not so DESTROYS of getting at
the truth as it was to get testimony, how
ever Enthusiastically it might be, that Mr..
Clayton, and not Mr.. Breckenridge, was
alactad ri - ~

Kansas Philosophy.

Here are some wise sayings which have been
collected by the Atchison Globe:
When your ship finally comes in it may be a
wreck.
A fool can never sit in a corner; he is ALWAYS
in the middle of the room.
1t is not what others think of you that makes
you; it is what you think of others.
When you find a man who is fond of STAYING
at home his wife finds fault about it.
People are never satisfied, women want to
wear pants, and men do wear dress suits.
People who are fond of dancing ought to
learn to play the fiddle, and save that expense.
When man has sore throat and it hurts
him to swallow, he wants to swallow all the
time
A man never feels so bad that he will not feel
worse if no one asks him what he is feeling
badly about.
When a man reaches 10 he begins to look
around for the names of men who distinguished
themselves after that age.
If he is not careful. q busy man will do so
many things wrong during day that it would
have been better had he not worked at all
When a rooster clucks and a rooster runs nm
instead of a pullet, the second rooster is very
apt to think that the worm is mighty small for
the amount of noise made.
When a man is sick the women around the
house claim that they cured him with washes
of salt and vinegar and gargles of onions and
honey. and that the doctor had nothing to do
with it.

Not outstanding the accident to the City
of Paris, the great Atlantic liners continue
racing across the Atlantic. A race be-
tween the Aurania, of the White Star line,
and the City of Rome, of the Anchor line,
has just been concluded. They left New
York within an hour of each other, and
kept in sight of each other all the way
across the ocean. At the mouth of the
Mersey river the City of Rome was just
about fifteen minutes ahead of the Aurania.

A Picturesque Democrat.

1t Is probable that Mr. Richard Vaux
will fill the vacancy in the House of Repre-
sentatives caused by the death of Mr.. Ran
dali. He has received the democratic nomi-
nation, and the district has a democratic
majority of about 5000. Mr.. Robert
Adams, minister to Brazil, but at present
at home on leave of absence, Is the re-
publican candidate. Mr.. Adams is not a
very popular man, and does not live in the
district As minister to Brazil he has not
shown himself to be man of much ability.
1t is pretty safe to say, therefore. that Mr..
Vaux will win an easy victory.
Mr.. Vaux is called a picturesque demo-
crat because he is very aristocratic looking
old gentleman, and is always neatly and
fashionably dressed. His ability is adj
mitted, and his amiability makes him many
friends. He is about "a years of age and
has been mayor of Philadelphia. Away
back in 1886 he was secretary of legation at
London, and at that time had the honor of
dancing with Queen Victoria. His family
has long been prominent in Philadelphia.
his father having been distinguished jurist
there.
MIR. Vaux is a very well-known pen
tologist, and he has been a most volumi-
nous writer on that subject. He is the
author of about forty-five volumes of Gre
ports of the Penitentiary," besides great
number of other publications on penal
matters. Mr.. Vaux may not become great
congressman, but he will be no discredit to
his party.

Texas is proud, and justly SO, of the fact
that she spends for educational purposes
more than any other southern state,
and, with few exceptions, more
than any one of the northern states.
Last year she spent about SO. 000, 900 in sup
port Of the common school system, and
about $780, for higher education. Every
dollar she spends for education will be
worth eventually hundred to her. Her
people are proud of her schools and they can
never say enough for them.

What's the matter with Senator Hoar? Has

make joke, and the Senate was so astonished
that it forgot to laugh. 1t was about-well,
something about the unhappy Chinaman on

humor.

Chiplev on the sturnn.

Mr.. w. d. Chipley of Pensacola opened
his campaign against Senator Call at Fort
Myers, Fla, yesterday. His speech is not
an eloquent one, but it is chock full Of
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES charges, if they
consist Of facts. Mr.. Chipley seems to have
no doubt that he can sustain them. He
asserts his ability to do so.
The speech is pretty lengthy one, but
not at all a dull one. 1t is a speech that
was listened to probably with a good deal
of interest. The subject of it is Senator
Calls record. According to Mr. Chipley
this record is not a brilliant one--not one of
which either Mr.. Call or his constituents
have any reason. TO be particularly proud.
The MORNING News, for lack of space
gives only brief extracts from the speech.
but they are sufficient to show its gen eral
character. 1t Is rather harsh in some parts.
but that is accounted for, perhaps, by the
fact that Mr.. Chipley and Mr.. Call are not
bosom friends.
Of course Mrs Call will have something
to say in answer to Mr.. Chipley. He NAV
not think it necessary to leave his seat in
the Senate to defend himself, but when con-
gress adjourns it may be stated with
degree of certainty that he will
be heard from. He will present
his record as he and his friends see it. not
as it appears to those who are not in SYM
pathy with him. There are two sides to
about every question, and two views of
every public mans record can be taken-a
right and wrong view. Has Mr.. Chipley
presented the right view of Mr.. Calls
recorda Let us wait and see the view that
Senator Call presents. 1t will be time
enough then to render judgment.
