If HE'D PAY THE FREIGHT
RITTENHOUSE WOULD DELIVER NEW
YORR'S ALLIANCE VOTES.

A Nice Little Scheme Which Is Repudi-
ated and Denounced Mt the Alliance
Headquarters in This City-Ritten-
house Said TO be Discharged En-
ploye-JOnes Didn't Bite.
Lieutenant-Governor Jones of New
York, he who pays the freight, would
dearly love to be David Bennett HilPs
successor, and is working hard to that
end. Mr.. Jones is somwhat of a farmer,
and if hesucceedsin beating the Hon. Ros-
well Pettibone Flower out of the Guber-
material nomination he will bank on a
large Alliance vote. Everybody knows
this. Even the fellow whose strands of
hair cannot be seen for hayseed is
''onto" that fact. But Jones, all the
same, cannot easily be taken in by the
POLITICAL HUNGRY JoEs.
On the tenth of last month Brother
Jones received letter from ID. II. Ritten-
house. The letter was written upon the
official letter head of the president of the
Farmers Alliance and was dated at Wash
ington, March 3, and signed ID. II. Ritten-
house, lecturer, Independent Order Amer
lean Citizens" The letter concludes with
the following significant paragraphs
I'VE propose to enter your State and
organize it. If you desire our and you
will assist us IN financial way. Our
literature will be spreau all over your
State. If you desire our aid, write me at
once. If you do not desire our support,
perhaps some others will. A failure to
hear from you will be considered nimical
to us, and we will act accordingly"
A CRITIC reporter called at the Alliance
headquarters this moning to ask about
the letter. President Polk was not in
the city, but one of his lieutenants, Mr.
n. A. Dunning, associate editor of the
National Economist, was on hand and an
swered for his chief. Said he:
THAT is
AN UNAUTHORIZED LETTER.
Colonel Polk never saw it until the other
day when we got the original copy from
lieutenant-Governor Jones. The man
Rittenhouse was, il is true, at one time
private secretary to President Polk, but
he was kicked out on the first of the year.
Rittenhouse is traitor and has nothing
TO do with the Farmers Alliance
How did he secure President POlk's
official letter-heads@' the reporter asked.
HE carried them away when he was in
the (Olonel's employ was the answer
RttenhOllse is a man about fifty years
old, and is said to be pretty sharp fellow.
IL will be remembered that he was
charged by several delegates to the Ocala
Convention with having tried to establish
CONFIDENTIAL RELATIONS WITH SECRETARY
BLAINE.
For this he was dismissed by Colonel
Polk though there is no evidence that
Mr. Blaine ever even so much as talked
with the man. Indeed, it is said that
he refused absolutely to see him. This is
no doubt true, because there is not now
and never has been any evidence that the
Plumed Knight has ever attempted to Art
with the Alliance people.
If Governor Jones refused Rittenhouse's
bait surely man of James G.. Blaine's
calibre would not be caught by it.

THE TREATY

are equally open 10 MN lOl Jne reuress Oh
his injuries.
THE TREATY
in the first, second, third and notably in
the twenty-third article, clearly limits the
right guaranteed TO the citizens of the
contracting powers in the territory of each
to equal treatment and to. free access to
the courts of justice. Foreign residents
are not made favored class. II is not
believed that Italy would desire a more
stringent construction of her duty under
the treaty. Where the injury inflicte
uron foreign resident is not the act of
the Government, or of its officers, but of
an individual or of a mob, it is believed
that no claim for indemnity can Justly be
made unless it shall be made TO appear
that the public authorities charged with
the peace of the community have con-
nived at the unlawful act, or, having
timely notice of the threatened danger,
have been guilty of such gross negligence
in taking the necessary precautions as TO
amount TO connivance.
If, therefore, IL should appear that
AMONG THOSE KILLED
by the mob at New Orleans there were
some Italian subjects who were resident
or domiciled III that city, agreeably to our
treaty with Italy, and not in violation
of our immigration laws, and who were
abiding in the peace of the United States,
and obeying the laws thereof, and of the
State of Louisiana, and that the public
officers charged with the duty of protect
ing life and property in the city conniyed
at the work of the mob, or upon proper
notice or information of the threatened
danger, failed to take any steps for the
preservation of the public peace and af
terward to bring the guilty to trial, the
President would, under the circum-
stances, feel that case was established
that could be submitted to the considera-
ton of Congress, with view to the relief
of the families of the Italian subjects
who had lost their lives by lawless vio-
lenCe.
Accept, sir, the renewed assurances of
my high consideration,

CURIOUS OLD SHOES.

From. the Chicago Tribune.

The Elaborate Creations OF Medieval
Shoemakers.
From the CHICAGO Tribune.
Ever since the time of Goody- Two-Shoes-
and that was long time ago, II we may
believe the philologists have spent
a great deal Of thought and care upon their
footwear. Now elaborate. now severe,
now low-heeled, now stilt-like, now pattens,
now clogs, shoes have experienced all the
vagaries of fashion, no lees than prouder
and more ambitious articles of dress. They
have their literature, two, their superstit-
ions, their sentiments, and like most things
In this mundane sphere-their collectors
Just when the classic sandal spread out
and turned over into the crude barbarian
prototype of the modern shoe no one seems
to know. Perhaps when sandaled feet left
Italy and the sunny shores of the Mediter-
ranean to wander over rugged roads in
strange countries; perhaps when Roman
handles felt 1t incumbent upon themselves
to create q sensation in their frivolous
world. At all events the transition occurred.
and, whoever had the honor of inauguratfng
the new fashion, women were not slow in
taking it up.
The earliest shoes were simple affairs of
rough leather, which would have been the
delight of the modern utilitarian and the
despair of the sesthete. The middle ages,
however, more especially the reign of good
King Edward Ill. marked a.sglorious era
in the annals OF the gentle craft" and
even the dainty shoes In which the modern
girl revels are put to blush by comparison
With the sumptuous creations-some In
richly embossed leather. some cut out 10
fretwork-of the shoemakers of that far
away period.
The most eccentric Of all the scurious
shoes of the early centuries were the chop
pini, which England borrowed from Venice,
where they were invented, IL Is said, by
jealous husbands to make women stayers
at borne. Whether 10 importing them
