Barbados News.
(From the Barbados Globe, Jany. 29.)

We are glad to report that we nave had
good showers during the fortnight In soLae
places they have been heavy, and the old
canes have benefited greatly, The young
canes everywhere are vigorous, and with
showers during the next month the young
crop will be well established. The weather
has been exceptional Nights have been very
cold, but some days remarkably hot. Mon
day and Tuesday were SO. The atmosphere
was like September. Beautiful lunar rain.
bows have adorned the horizon, and lightning
ut night has been vivid. Last night and
to-day there has been rain. Sugar-making
has commenced in St. Michael. We have
not learned what the yield has been, but at
Bank Hall the canes improved in appearances
as the cutters went further from the outskirts
of the field. Some planters with whom we
have conversed are still s~anguine that good
returns will be obtained. We hope their ex-
pectations will be fully realised.
There has been no little discussion on the
quarantine question, owing to the fact that q
disabled seaman was brought hitler by the
Roy al Mail steamer sk last month, from st.
Thomas, with yellow fever along with the
passengers from all the intermediate islands.
Some go passengers were landed at Pelican
Island, for observation, and the dying man
placed in q lighter fitted up for his
reception, and anchored below Pelican

Anguilla.

BY latest private Intelligence from Anguilla
we learn that the miscreants who attempted
to blow up with dynamite the residence Of
Mr. Baynes, the Magistrate, have not been
discovered. 1t appears that the attempt was
prompted chiefly through resentment OF that
officers efforts to suppress the illicit sale Of
liquor. 1t is q notorious fact that there arc
no liquor shops in the island, but it cannot
be said that there are no drunkalds. MI.
Baynes, acting under instructions, limited
the distribution of food to the very sick and
aged, and the idea got abroad that he alone
was responsible for the denial of aid to them.
There Is therefore a strong feeling prevailing
amongst a fe0 of the people. Our informant
says "When the diabolical attempt was
made, almost all the respectable persons arm
ed themselves and focked to Mr.. Baynes'
residence and kept guard night and day until
the police under Inspector Thorn arrived from
st. Kits" A contingent of the Salvation
Army arrived there in the Cdri6bee, which
vessel took thither the foodstuffs imported by
the Government from America, but which
strange to say neither Mr.. Baynes nor any
one else had been advised about. These noisy
religionists made capital out of this fact it
seems, and succeeded in getting a great many
of the people to believe that the goods were
the gifts of philanthropists in New York, and
among other things in addressing the people
they were heard to say See the goodness OF
God, I'VE have brought you all this food"
This action may doubtless have tended to
irritate the people after believing this tale and
finding that there was not a wholesale dis
tribution. Thus as our correspondent writes
"whateyer good the Salvation Army has at
any time done they certainly created mischief
in this instance" These religious ~iocusts"

In and out of tho gulchcs, but always
up from Copper basin, my companion,

respondent OF the Arizona Republican,
rsached the cool spring which bubbles
Tom the rocks just before the divide Ia

tncnces TO descend 10 Prescott, which Ia
eight or nine miles away. The noun

trees which spring from tho ground
covered with immense granite bowl

Testing ourselves IT tho spring the
colonel pointed to trail leading up tho
tide of the opposite mountain, and said:
"A good many years sincc-I think it
was In 1865 and when felt much young
or than now-I came very near being
taken In by the Indians up on the trail
where II passes over tho divide. I'll tell
you how it was.
II had boon down 70 Prescott for n

Grand wash, which leads down into tho

II started out from Prescott and was
coming up the trail on tho other side
of that ridge over there, all the time
keeping my eyes open for Indians, for
In those days n person was always on
the lookout for Indians and always had
his gun ready for instant use.
''As canc up tho Hill noticed a
movement of tho boaghs in the top of u
tall pinon pine tree. Not being able
from my position TO discover the com
raotion IN tho pine trcc-top, I carefully
made my way up the hill until had a

ray Indian. for tho Apaches had made
things particularly hot for me on more
than one occasion. Without any regard
asto whether he would fall on n soft
spot or not took good aim and then
didn't shoot"
"No? What was the matter?" I
asked.
''I'll tell you why" continued the
colonel. clearing n slight noise I
looted down the trail on the other side
of the hill, and there, not moro
than one hundred yards away, were
coming seven or eight Indians In
single file, and oil were armed. They

hadn't lost any Indian that day, and
lay nat down Ia the brush while they
passed along the trail in full view OF my
hiding place and disappeared over tho
Hill.

Cincinnati, o., May 1s.-The dele
gates are beginning to arrive in large
numbers from all portions Of the coun-
try. The Kansas party on special of
ten trains arrived this morning and
that state now has the greatest number
Of representatives here, with Ohio sec
ond. No one is yet willing to hazard a
guess as to the outcome
of the convention. Those from
the north and west generally favor the
formation Of a third party while the
south and the southeast advise against
hasty action in that line. The knights
Of labor side with the south in this mat

sembly is the unanimous choice OF the
delegates on the ground for temporary
chairman and either Congressman
Simpson or Senator PETER will be the
permanent officer.
There will be considerable difficulty
in deciding who are entitled to seats as
delegates and much friction over the
question OF credentials is expected.
Two delegations are here from Wiscon-
sin. One headed by Ignatius Donnally;
the other opposed to his ambitions to
be candidate for the presidency.

The Gillian Matter.

Every well balanced American. or
other level headed man, will beIverysor-
ry if the Charleston oyertakes the Chill
ian vessel, the Itata. The conduct of
Chilli in her forced war on Peru was
such as to ALLEVIATE from her all sympa-
thy by civilized people. Her present
internal difficulties, the war between
those in power and those out OF power,
is only what might be expected from
men or state that could do as Chilli
did in the matter with Peru. And the
more vessels that can be loaded with
war material for mutual determination
the better for the people of Chill who
don't care which whips. The United
States, however, is bound by the thing
called the law OF nations to respect the
statu quo that is, recognize the rascal
behind the forms OF law as the honest
man. So if the Charleston overtakes
the Itata, she will have TO be taken in.
AT which the whole American people
will rejoice, that we have indicated
our neutrality, and sorry that we had
to do it. And that is about the size of
it.-K. G. Journal.

Drained Her Husband.

LEXINGTON, KY, May 1s.-About 5
CLOCK this afternoon Lizzie George, the
wife of Morrison George, inflicted what
is likely to be fatal wound on her hus-
band. George is a worthless fellow,
who has been treating his wife very
badly. A week ago he left her. and
went on a drunk. This morning she
received note from him saying he in
tended coming by the house and taking
everything out of it. This frightened
her, and going before magistrate she
swore out peace warrant against her
husband. Before it could be served he
came by the house and broke in the
door. He threw a Ratchet at her lust
as he entered, but she lodged it. She
then picked it up and hurled it at him
with such force as to bury the blade in
the top of his skull. He fell like log.
After he had bled profusely some wo-
men bound up his wound. He will prob.
ably die before morning. Policeman
Hall, who arrived shortly after the
fight, refused to arrest the woman. She
says she is sorry she did not kill him
outright.

the board OF state house commissioners
and the Hutchinson reformatory board
and has supervision over all state build
ings at the various institutions of the
state, taking that work out of the hands
of the state board of charities.
The appOintees are all known to the
people Of Kansas. Captain John H.
Smith is the secretary of the republic
can state central committee: was for
many years deputy United States mar
shall, and during Governor Martins ad-
ministration was warden of the Kansas

has resided at Lawrence for more than
a quarter of a century and is closely
identified with the states early history.
He is the democratic member of the
board and is appointed for the short

terms are for four years.
A great pressure had been made upon
Governor Humphrey for the position by
numerous applicants.

Too Much sentimentalItv.

Hutchinson News: Just so long as
Missouri juries fail to convict state off,
cials who become embezzlers just so
long will that state be cursed with dis
honesty in high places. The failure of
the jury to convict ex-Treasurer No
rlage OF justice, brought about through
a mawkish sentiment worked up by a
sniveling woman. The state estab-
lished the fact that holland had used
over thirty thousand dollars of the
states money. The defense did not
deny the theft, but urged in extenua-
ton that the money was taken as loan
with intent to return it. The wife of
the accused man was in the court room
ready to take the leading role in high
ly dramatic scene of hysterical char
acter, and the result was a mistrial-a
grand farce.
To admit that holland violated no law
when he borrowed" money entrusted
to his keeping is to concede the right
of every employee of state, corporation
or individual to borrow in the same way
the funds that come into their hands.
II holland had been a clerk or book
keeper, working for $50 per month, in
stead of prominent politician, and had
borrowed of his employers money
One-tenth part of WI at he took from the
state OF Missouri, he would have been
in the penitentiOry long before this. Po-
| litical influence, the means with which
to employ an eloquent lawyer and a
wife who understands her business,
were circumstances that conspired to
save Mr.. holland, for there is little
probability that his case will ever be
brought to trial again.
There are doubtless but few persons
in Missouri who do not condemn rascal
ity in office on general principles, yet it
has been shown that the courts refuse
to administer the very best antidote for
such crookedneSs. A long term in the
penitentiary was deserved by holland,
and would not only have done him good
but would have had salutary and pos
sibly a saving effect on other men in
positions Of trust who contemplate the
same methods of getting rich,
