NOTHING SURPRISING,

something the French Have Been Doing

NEW YORK, June 3.-A Herald
special from Halifax, says: The Bri t.
ash North American squadron, under
command of Vice-Admiral Watson. con-
sisting of the ships Bellerophon,
Canada, Comus, Partridge and Buzzard
arrived here to-day (Monday) from
Bermuda. The officers OF the ships say
they are in no way surprised at the action
of the French war ship at Bay st.
George 1t is a thing that has been
going on for the past thirty years or
more, and they have a perfect right to
compel the Newfoundland fishermen to
remove their nets or traps on that part
OF the coast. The Admiral, however,
has ordered two of the ships to
hold themselves to proceed to New
foundland should the occasion re-
quire it. The French corvette
Bison, now here, will proceed thence to
the French shore of Newfoundland di-
rect. The gunboat Thrush, III command
of His Royal Highness, Prince George
of Wales, which is now on its way from
England to this port, may not be here
until July, the naval authori sies say, as
she will likely call at the azores and
Bermudas on the way out.
a special TO the Times from Halifax,
says that Sir John Ross, commander Of
the troops in British North America,
denies the report that 4 battery of royal
artillery and an infantry regiment had
been ordered to proceed to Newfound
land from England.

CHICAGO, June 3.-Maud Gordon and
Minnie Dayton became involved in a
quarrel early this morning at Polk and
Clark streets. The Gordon woman, who
is the possessor of a trepanned skull,
was no match for the Dayton woman,
who knocked her down and kicked her
so badly about the head that the silver
plate in her skull was pushed into the
brain. She was taken to the County
Hospital, where her injuries were pro-
nounced fatal. Minnie Dayton was
arrested and locked up at the Harrison
Street station. About 1:3O O'Clock this
morning she attempted to commit sui
eide by hanging to the bars of her cell.

CLARKSON'S WRATH.
The Iowa Spokesman Talks Too Much fos
His Own Good.

His Own Good.
Mr.. J. 5. Clarkson, the First Assistant
Postmaster General, is wonderful
man. He has been cutting off the heads
of Democratic postmasters until he is
tired of the work, and now he is deliv
ering political lectures at the North by
way of variety. He is not only wonder
full, but great. A few years ago, while
he was editor of the Iowa State Regis
ter, he printed in his editorial columns
statement to the effect that when the
great "star-shower'' occurred in 1858
the falling stars could be heard rafting
on the leaves of the trees.
This sort of thing is characteristic of
ClarkSon. He has now quit telling
about the stars in order to tell some
wonderful stories about the South. The
star-story was merely an innocent lie,
but the lies about the South are told in
order to help the Republican party.
These political lies are patent enough
to every body except the deluded people
who sit and listen to him, and good
many of those must recognize the most
OF CIarkson's statements to be lies if
they read the newspapers. His COM
plant is that Republicans are not al
lowed to hold office in the South, and
yet there is hardly county in any part
of the South where Republicans are not
holding office.
AS for the negroes, it is natural that
their appointment as postmasters in
communities where there are plenty of
white Republicans should cause irrita-
ton; but do the Southern people pre-
vent the negro from holding office at the
North? Has the Southern bulldozer ter
rorized the President and Mr.. GARRISON
to appoint negroes to office in the
North? If not, why have no negroes
been appointed to office in the North?
These are very interesting questions.
The President and Mr.. GARRISON have
not hesitated to appoint negro postmas-
tiers in the South, where they knew that
such appointments are likely to cause
irri tation; but why have they hesitated
to appoint negro postmasterS at the
North? Are the Northern negroes unfit
to hold office? Would the white people
protest against such appointments?
There are a great many negroes in Iowa
Mr.. Clarkson's State-and many of
them are said to be we'll educated; but
how many negro officials are there in
Iowa? In the whole State has Mr.. Clark
son appointed one negro postmaster?
1t would seem from this that the gay
bulldozer has entrusted his bulldozing
operations to the present Administra-
tiOn.-Atlanta Constitution.

A RACE FOR A WIFE.

A Runaway Marriage that was Completed
Just In the Nick of Time-An Accom-

No Blessing.
CINCINNATI, June 3.-Harry Goodwin
and Cora Skinner, of Lawrence burg,
Ind, ran away yesterday to get mar
ried. Thy found Squire Sterling was
at Elizabethtown, o., just 200 yards
over the State line. AS they reached
tho squire the girls father could be seen
in the distance pursuing on horseback.
Sterling, grasp.Eg the situation, told
the lovers to grasp hands and run for
Indiana as the license was not good in
Ohio. The three scrambled over fences.
Crossing the line the squire stumbled
and fell, but had just sufficient breath
to pronounce the words as the angry
father galloped up, too late. A large
crowd witnessed the race and cheered
the bridal couple. The father left
without bestowing his blessing.

POOR OLD MORTON.
The yice-President Is Very Dignified But
Doesn't Know the Rules.

| Doesn't Know the Rules.
| Vice-President Morton is very fine
old gentleman and gifted in many re-
spects. He is diplomat of rare quail
tiles and l never saw another who could
wear wig with better grace. But
| there is one thing he can not do. He
| can not learn the rules of the Senate.
He presides with dignity, in fact lends
as much dignity to the position as any
! man who has ever occupied the chair,
but he has to be prompted at nearly
| every stage of the proceedings. Ed
| munds is chief prompter, ingalls, as
sistant prompter and Fry sometimes
acts as sub-assistant. Edmunds occu-
pies the front seat almost under the
eyebrows of the presiding officer, and
constantly keeps on the watch to see
that Mr.. Morton makes no blunders.
When some motion e made or pre-
liminary question asked, the Vice
President, in a hesitating sort of way,
begins to state the case as nearly as he
can get at it, all the time watching the
face of the distinguished Senator from
Vermont for signs of approval or cor,
rection. If the Vermont sage mods his
head the Vice-President, with firmer
question. look of disapproval will at
once bring the Vice-President to- a
standstill, and then Mr.. Edmunds with
the least suspicion of twinkle under
his eyebrows, will rise and state, as if
in argument or suggestion to the chair,
what will be the proper state ment
of the case. The Vlce-Presi-
dent Immediately reproduces this
language with graphophonic accuracy
Sometimes Mr.. Morton gets the impress
sion that he knows enough about the.
rules to take care of this business for
himself. Then he almost invariably
falls into error. When he puts himself
to this position, Mr.. Edmunds and Mr..
ingalls, appear in quiet sort of way to
en- Joy the situation. Sometimes the one
and sometimes the other will get up,
and in parliamentary language, and
manner of extreme suavity, give the
presiding officer lecture on parliament
airy usage. Some of these discourses
are extremely amusing from their as.
sumption of dignity and seriousness
while dealing with the most trivial
ponit of parliamentary order, which to
the VicePresident is as perplexing as
the old Is puzzle. 1t is understood to
be a very sore point with Mr.. Morton
that he has constantly to be coached by
these two gentlemen; but he can not
nelp himself for every time he makes
a declaration of independence he gets
into trouble, and has to stand the deli.

THE SURPLUS BUSTERS.
A Deficit in Place of One Hundred Mill
ions in the Treasury.

A Deficit in Place of One Hundred MILL
ions in the Treasury.
When Grover Cleveland sent his IA
nous tariff-re form message. to Congress
he drew attention to the fact that the
country was confronted with "a condi-
tion-not a theory" That condition
was an overwhelming and growing sur
plus in the National treasury, due to
over-taxation. Mr.. Cleveland proposed
to reduce this surplus by relieving the
people from the burden of unnecessary
taxation, and the Democrats in control
of the popular branch of Congress re-
sponded to his demand by bill which
supplied in small part the remedy
which he proposed. This measure
the Mills bill-was defeated in the
Senate under the control of the Repub
licans.
1t is only little more than year
since Grover Cleveland went out of
office. And now it is reported from
Washington that the ensuing year will
probably show q deficit of 500, 900, 900
instead of a surplus OF 500, 900, 900.
How has this remarkable change been
brought about2 Not by reduction of
taxation, because the taxes have not
been reduced. Not by any increased
necessities of the Government, for there
has been no war nor great National
calamity demanding extraordinary ex-
penditurcs. There has been no vast
scheme of National improvements to
drain the treasury of its resources.
What is the explanation?
The process of converting a huge sur
plus into anappalling deficit within two
years has been clearly outlined by the
legislation which has been passed and
which is further projected by the pres
ent Congress. The estimates are made
on the basis of the extravagant appro-
priations which are outlined and the
projected changes in the revenue sys-
tenn. With the exception of occasional
objections to some meritorious bill for
public building, there has been uni
form disposition to swell the appropria-
tions in every possible direction. The
plan has been seriously con mplated to
absorb all possible surplus revenues by
voting dependent pensions, service PEN
sions, back pensions and pensions under
various designations. If the pension
raids do not suffice to get rid of the rev.
enues. then it is hoped the Mckinley
bill will Go the businessmen by re-
uuclnP IaNaUlOH. Dul ny INCREASING IL lo
such an extent as to prohibit certain
importations and transferring the taxes
heretofore paid to the Government into
the pockets of private individuals and
corporations paid in the form OF boun-
ties.
Which IS the better plan for getting
rid of the surplus-the Cleveland plan
of reducing unnecessary taxes or the
pending plan for increasing appropria-
tions and also increasing taxation on
imports to prohibitory figure? That
will be the question for the people to
decide.-kansas City Star.
