Climbed the Throne of Revenue"
When the civil war broke out money
grew plenty and moved rapidly. blood
was hot, sociSay disorgan lied, and opened
to the flower of a nations manhood the
doors of recklessness and self-ind ulgence.
W hat wonder then, she asked, that appe-
tlte often conquered the conQueror, until
at the very feasts where victories were
celebrated there stood with muffled face
another problem. Before the war was
finished, she said, the government seized
upon the commodity of the saloon and
drunkard; figured its percentage on the
gains from the vices of the people, and in
1868 the liquor traffic climbed the throne
of revenue.

Ever since that day this cruel, vicious,

she held that the government, the par

and were responsible for this condition of
affairs. The saloon was allowed to per-
petuate itself; the government to get the
revenue; the party to get the government;
the politician to secure the SPOTS of Office,
and the voter to shout on the winning
side. In conclusion, she paused at the
threshold of the great discussion concern

said of the National Temperance union
that, cursed at the bar of the legalized sa-

political parties; misrepresented by the
all-powerful press; denied its ultimate
prayer in the halls of legislation; sneered
at in the palaces of fashion, where the wine

sentative pulpits, and unwelcome often
even in the Christian church, it has been
left to this organization of ballotless

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF
Honduras and British Guiana
are Protesting Against
Interference
They Claim the Right to Gov
ern and Manage Their
Own Affairs
The Old Cry of Taxation With
out Representation Once
More Revived

LONDON, March 9l-It appears that
Newfoundland is not the only British
American colony that is asserting a claim
to manage its own affairs. The foreign
Office has received from British Honduras
adyces that would be alarming II
the colonial population were more formi-
dahlc.
The people there are tired Of being
governed from Great Britain, aud de-
mand with virtual unanmity that taxes
shall not be imposed on them without
their consent. The unofficial members
of the governors council have resigned in
a body, aud no colonist Of standing can
be found to take any Of the vacant
seats. The colonistS have sent petition
to the home government, demanding an
elective assembly with control of taxaf ion,
and the English cabinet has refused to
grant the petition.
British Guiana also is protesting against
the absolute government by the crown
agency aud wants something % say as to
her own business.
Sir Julius NOgcl writes proposing that
the imperial government pay bOuntips To-
the Newfoundland fishermen similar To
the bOuntics which the frc-ch fishermen
receive. The Times thinks this proposal
will be wrrthy Of discussion only hen
every other peaceful effort has failed.
New York, March - A special cable
gram to the Herald from Puerto Cabrlla

tween the NcncZuclans aud the English

PITTSBURG, March lG-Jacob Smith OF
Homestead, has just discovered that a
stone he has had in his possession for
twenty years is valuable uncut diamond.
During a trip to Brill while in the gov
crnment service Mr.. Smith found a
curious stone, which be brought to this
country and has kept since. Some time
ago he was attracted by the peculiar
change which nature was working in the
stone, turning IL into thousands of bril
liant points. Upon trial he found IL very
hard and no file could make the slightest
impression on IL. He submitted the stone
to Professor ID. Lewis. Of Duncannon. Pa,
who pronounced the stone cluster OF
diamonds worth at least 81 10000. The
diamonds are very small, hut their i'm
mense number makes their value exceed
ingly great. Mr.. Smith has placed the
stone in safe deposit vault pending
further investigation.

New YORK, March 2i-The Herald this
morning says: The sugar trust, in antici-
patton of heavy losses on the large
amount of sugar which will be held by
the concern April l, are getting in some
fine work to protect themselves.
AS outlined by a welnfOrmed sugar
man the move seems TO be nothing short
OF plan to make the government pay
oyer TO the trust more than enough to
cover the loss in selling these goods at
the April decline. The law provides for
a drawback of two and half cents per
pound on export sugars and this draw
back Is precisely what the trust is now
believed to be after. Popular opinion f.
that the sugar will be sent abroad in
order to secure the drawba and then be
brought back and sold at April prices.

An Answer to Secretary OF
State Blaine Regarding the
Malta Killing
The Uprising Was Not Direct
ed Against Race But
Against Individuals
Most of the Persons Killed
Were American
Citizens

| WASHINGTON, March 24-Sccretary of
State Blaine has received letter from
Governor Nichols, of Louisiana, dated
March 81, for which the following is u re-
| ply:
SIR: At a late hour on the 18th inst.
received dispatch from you, having
reference to the forcible breaking on the
l4th Of this month into the Jail Of this
city and the killing of eleven persons con
fined there under indictments found in
the criminal district court of the parish
of New Orleans. You stated to me that
it had been represented to the president
by the minister Of Italy, accredited by
the government of the United States,
that among the killed on that occasion
were three or four subjects of the king Of
Italy.
The telegram disclosed the apprehen-
sion on the part Of the minister of Italy,
evidently shared by the president, that
the disturbance was continuous and
swelling disturbance, which might in
vOlye all the Italian subjects in New Or
leans. The president expressed the hope
that | would endeavOr to maintain the
obligations Of the United States toward
the Italian subjects who might be con-
caTned in the pcrilOuS excitement and
that further violence and bloOdshed
would be prevented. The president fur
ther expresses the hope that all offend
ers might be promptly brought to JUS
tce
On the 10Th inst. | telegraphed you that
there was no excitement in the city at the
time and that ! saw no reason to antici-
pate further trouble. | also stated that
the uprising was directed against partic-
ular individuals and that the race or ma
tiOnality of the parties did not enter as a
factor into the disturbance.
A week has passed since the date of my
dispatch. and the opinion then enter
tained as to the termination Of the
trouble has proven to have been well
founded. The men killed, as / have
stated, were confined in prison under in
dictments found In the criminal district
court of the parish of New Orleans The
sheriff has made his return Of facts to
that court, the judge thereof has charged
the grand jury, which is now in session,
in regard to the matter and the subject is
assumed to be under investigation by that
body.
am satisfied that most Of the persons
killed were American citizens. but 10 is
probable that two or three were Italian
subjects.
! have the honor to be, very respect
