TWO Shows on One STAGE.

From the NeU York Herdlds London Cable
The clubs are laughing over the story of the
Duchess of MontrOse and Mrs. Bancroft. The
duchess engaged ST. Georges hall one night
last week to rehearse a company of amateurs
for society entertainment at her home mkt
week. On her grace's arrival at the hall in the
afternoon she found the stage in the possession
OF Mrs. Bancroft, who was rehearsing a pro-
fessional company in a piece written by her
self.
This duchess haughtily said: This is my
stage and | want it.
Mrs. Bancroft as sweetly replied: mo,
duchess, the stage is mine and l want it,
Il say, woman, It's my stage" shouted the
duchess,
Then take it, smiled the actress.
The duchess then called up her amateurs and
began rehearsing at one side of the sta ye. The
actress called up her professionals and con-
tlnued rehearsing on the other both parties
shouting the other down. At last the duchess,
losing patience, began to use language more
forcibe than polite. The actress tried hard to
give the duchess as good as she brought, but
was no match for her norsey grace. So draw
ing her skirts well above her ankles, she looked
the duchess up and down, then turned to her
company and said: Ladies and gentlemen, let
us leave these common people," and SO de-
parted under volley from the duchess.

A Token of Esteeno

AS the train stopped at station about thirty
miles west of indianapolis, we noticed, says a
New York sun writer, an unusually large crowd
on the depot platform. and it was evident that
Speech-making had been INDUCED in, and that
somebody of note was taking his departure
We soon discovered that this person was GER
tain Col. Blank, who came into the car with a
package under his arm, and whose cheeks were
wet with farewell tears He called Good by -
score of times from the window and as the
tram finally rolled on he blew his nose. wiped
his eyes, and turned to us with:
Gentlemen, it touches the heart-Strings to
part with old friends and neighbors.
You are saying farewell then?''
Yes, am going up to indianapolis to re-
side. The field here is too limited, as have dis
covered after ten years residence"
We'll it is certainly pleasant to part from
friends the way you have"
Indeed it is Over two hundred of the best
people In town came down to see me off, and
the president of the bank male a beautiful
speech, wished ne every success, and all that.
and then handed me this as token Of respect
and esteem. -
"Ah made you a present. Ell? Evidently
something nice"
Bound to be-" replied the colonel, as he took
the package from the seat.
Perhaps YOU don't want to reveal the con-
tents here?n
30, have no objections Well undo it and
see what they have gwen me"
He carefully united the string and removed
the several papers which wrapped the precious
memento, and 10! there was exposed to our
gaZs a-sponge! Yes sir, a great big bath
sponge, which never cost less than ST! We
pressed forward to see it, and the colonel
turned red and white by turns, bit his lips and
bobbed about on his seat, and as We held our
breaths he burst out with:
Gentlemen, heart-strings be bowed! The
ornery, thieving, loating, lying crowd have
gone and heaped deadly insult upon me- and
the next go years of my life shall be devoted
to weding in human blood clear up to the top
vest button!'

A Contract for a Winters Board.

There are q number of the older residents Of
st. Paul who remember "Moustache," an origi-
nal river character. who was also a familiar
figure in all the river towns between ST. Paul
and st. Louis. No one, however, knew him by
any other name than Moustache. He was a
raftsman by profession and a fighter by instinct
Though weighing but 100 pounds, for number
of years, between 1868 and 1873, he was called
the best man on the upper Mississippi. His
last trip for the season left him stranded in
Muscatine, la, late one fail, says the st. Paul
Pioneer Press. 1t was posi- lie for him to work
his way up the pGeries on some steamboat, but
Moustache decided to play the gentleman for
one winter, at least, and accordingly sought out
German hotel proprietor aud stated his case:
Il want to board with you this winter,'' he
said, but cannot pay you by the week.

orally good wild de boys; III board wild you all

and pay you when the RATS come up from
well, dot ish all right var ash gan see,''
replied the German.
On this basis Moustache put in a number of
months with the German. enlivened a few times
by a fight between the raftsman and some local
bully Objectionable to the house. Thus Nous
tache made himself solid with the boarding
boss Spring sprung One day the German
and called Moustache up to the bar to helm

"Yaw; der RATS ism going by now effery

''Those RATS are going down stream. I'm
waiting, same as you are, fer the RATS to come
up the river. Sees"
There must have been a compromise on this
bill At any rate the German used to tell the
story quite gleefuly up to the day of his death
in 1888.

The "staz-at-Fomev Vote.

/
IN his recent speech in the Senate OF
! federal control Of elections, Senator Pasco,
u Florida, made some home thrusts at the
northern republican organs which are con-
/ tinually harping upon the idea that, be
( cause full votes are not cast in southern
elections, the colored vote Of the south is
| suppressed. Only the other day a repub
hcan newspaper Of Philadelphia contained
a. article giving the number of votes re-
ceived By some southern congressman,
among them several from Georgia, and
comparing the voting population with the
vote actually cas-, drew the conclusion that
! these congressman were elected by unfair
means Under the same rule, according to
the figures presented by Senator PaSco. q
number of northern republican congress
men was also elected by unfair means, b ut
the newspaper in question neglected to
touch upon that branch of the subject.
The first table which Senator Pasco pre-
sented is one showing the voting population
of the country according TO the census of
1880, the total vote for President that year,
aud the number of voters who refrained
from casting their ballots; and from this it
appears that in twenty republican states
there were ], 8S8, 243 ''silent voters,n and in
eighteen democratic states 1,4S4,800, an
excess in the republican states of 4O3, 443
In the last presidential election, accord
ing to figures compiled for almanacs pub
lished by northern newspapers, the excess of
silent voters" in the republican states was
l.O66, IA. In 1880 the average number
or silent voters" to each representa-
tive in congress in the New England states
was l4,54S; in the extreme western states,
1928, and in the southern states, not in
Guiding those on the extreme border, IA, 1862
The figures fer the election last Novem Der
were as follows: New England states. 49,
557; extreme western states "a ,277; south
ern states, 1852. AT the last presidential
election 3S4, 472 voters RENAME away from
the polls in Pennsylvania 222, 81 in
Georgia.
Senator Pasco also shove ~ republican
legislatures in northern ST have gerry
Wandered congressional districts so as to
deprive the democrats of representation.
In Massachusetts 1888 republicans elect
ten congressman. and 10i,3S5 democrats
elect two. In Kansas 1890 republican
voters have seven representatives, and
1888 democratic voters have none. In
Maine q, 434 republicans have four repre-
sentatives, and 81, SIG democrats have none.
In Ohio the average number of republican
voters to each republican representative is
26,003, and of democratic voters to each
democratic representative 1921. In Penn
sylvania the figures are as follows: Repub-
lican, Is, 052; democratic, 63,SO5.
These are stubborn facts of which the
demagogue republican press of the north
will fight shy.

An Interesting Campaign.

a political campaign IS now in pro
gress in the :ourth congressional dis
trict OF Pennsylvania that is attrsct-
ing considerable attention. That dis
! trlct is complsed Of six wards OF tee city
of Philadolpais, AMI was represented in
congress b. the late William d. Kelley.
Tee election 70 Gil the vacancy caused by
his death takes place next Tuesday. The
republican candidate is ar. john Z. Rev
burn, and the democratIc candidate is Mr.
William II. Ayers. Mr.. Ayers ran in oppo-
si:Ion t. Mr.. Kelley in the last congressional
election, and was defeated by majority Of
about 1900. Mr.. Kelley, however. had rep
resented the distric5 many years, and had
strong personal following. His popularity
undoubtedly helped to increase his majority
An interesting feature of Che contest be-
tween Mr.. Reyburn and Mr.. Ayers is the
fact that many influential republicans are
supporting Mr.. Ayers, who is the president
of the Tariff Reform Club of Philadelphia.
These republicans are manufacturers, mer-
chants and business men, and, in an open
letter to Mr.. Ayers, they say that in the
past they have affiliated with the Repub-
lican party, and at the last national election
voted for Gen. Harrison. They now de-
clare that they believe that it is to the in
terest Of Philadelphia to have free raw
materials, so that the manufacturers of that
city can secure their supplies to better adj
vantage. With free raw materials, they
say, workingmen will have more work and
the public will have cheaper goods
It has been evident for quite long time
that the Philadelphia manufacturers were
restless under the tariff policy of the Re
publican party. and also that their working
men, toa very great extent, sympathised with
them. Under that policy they find it diff
cult to keep their mills running on full
time, or to give their employees steady work.
They are shut out from foreign markets be-
cause they cannot compete with those Eu-
ropean manufacturers who have free raw
materials.
The republican newspapers of Philadel-
phia appear to be afraid that Mr.. Ayers
will be elected. They tell the workingmen
that they must stand together and uphold
the high protection policy of the Republi-
can party. They inferentiallv admit that
free raw materials would be good thing
for the manufacturers, but say that it
would be mistake to grant such conces-
sion to them because it might bring about
the overthrow of the whole protection sys-
tenn. They therefore appeal to the work
ingmen to vote for Reyburn and high pro-
lection.
The democrats may not elect their candi-
date, but it is pretty certain that they will
greatly reduce the republican majority.
Tariff reform is gaining ground in Phila-
delphia, which is one of the strongnolds of
the Republican Party.
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1890-02-15

In his opening address at the meeting Of
the State Board of Agriculture, President
Northen, among other subjects, touched
upon the race issue. He said that he
believed that the remedy for race dis
turbances would be found in the sup
preston Of all lawlessness by the courts, and
the exercise of great forbearance toward
the negro because of his ignorance and lack
of moral courage that make him easily sub.
ject to the plots of designing men. He be-
lieved that emigration was not the solution
that it could not be made compulsory. and
there was no indication that 1t would be
voluntary. He thought that the relations
and rights of the negro would be adjusted
by the people of the south, if left to them
selves, upon the plane of morality, human
iUy and right. Few men are better quail
fed to speak on the race issue than Mr..
Northen, and due weight should be attached
to his words

blorida Tobacco.

The Philadelphia Inquirer conveys the
gratifying intelligence that capitalists of
that city have just organized a company to
raise tobacco in Florida. One hundred
acres of land near Kissimmee have been
bought, and the company has an option on
300 acres more, which it will buy if the
enterprise proves successful, as no doubt it
will, for the soil is of that rich, loamy char
acter that is SO well adapted to tobacco.
The treasurer of 1.-THE company states that
the chief object will be to furnish a supe-
rior domestic filler for cigars, although q
small quantity of tobacco for wrappers will
be grown.
The Inquirer thinks that southern
Florida is destined to be the center of the
tobacco growing Industry in the United
States. This is a sweeping assertion, but it
is one which has the Endorsement of experts
in tobacco culture. These experts do
not mean to say that Florida will take the
lead in the production of the finest grades
for smoking tobacco, nor the lowest for
cigars, but that in the cultivation of a supe-
rior leaf for filters that state in the next dec
ade will attain an Importance second only
to Cuba.
In lecture, several years ago, DR.. j. f.
Richmond said; 81 was convinced six years
ago that the tobacco industry would rise to
immense Importance in Florida Key West
is now little more than government
station and a cigar mandatory, and
wealthy companies are forming in different
parts of the state to cultivate the weed. II
The company mentioned by the Inquirer is
only one of many that have been formed
for the purpose named in the last few
years, and although the tobacco industry in
Florida has grown rapidly since DIR. Rich
mond called attention to it, it may be said
to be in its swaddling clothes, compared
with what it will be- People go into It, not
as an experiment, but because they know
they can make money; aud additional cigar
factories will spring up as the industry
grows. The prospects of Florida in this
direction are very encouraging.

The Selecting of Postmasterg.

In view of the fact that a great many of
the postmasters appointed by the President
and the Postmaster General are not accept
able to those who are most deeply interested
in the postoffices, why would it not be ad-
visable to let the people indicate their choice
by BALLOT OF course the government
would still continue to appoint the post
masters and would have just as complete
control over them as at present The only
difference between the present method and
the one proposed is that if the proposed
method wers adopted the choice of the
people would be appointed instead of the
choice of a congressman or political boss.
Within the last few weeks two postmast-
ers have been selected in New England by
the popular method One was chosen in
Brattleboro Vt. He is a democrat, and has
filled the office for several years. He has
given such general satisfaction that the
people want him retained. The other was
chosen in Massachusetts town, and is a
republican. 1t is understood that the ad-
ministration will respect the wishes of the
people in each case.
OF course, if the popular method were
oApDbCu q iSpuDAlCdu dullllulSbIdllpu WOQIQ
have to appoint some democratic postmas-
ters, and a democratic administra ion
would have to appoint some republican
| postmasters. 1t is pi obable, however, that
neither party would gain any advantage by
| the new method.
OF course, political bosses and congress
men would not agree to let the people choose
| their postmasters, but are not the people Of
far more consequence than the bosses and
| congressman 1t might be said that post
masters designated by the people would not
be as attentive to their duties as they are al
present, because they would not feel that they
held their places at the will of the govern
ment That would not be a good argu-
ment. If they were appointed by the
| government on recommendation of a
majority of their fellow citizens they would
have a double reason for proving their fit
ness for their places. They would seek to
show that the public confidence in their
fitness was not misplaced, and they would
| attend to their du les in order to hold their
| places, because the government would be
under no obliga.io to retain them il they
| were incompetent.
