THE TROUBLE IN HAITI.
W, II. Bennett. in Harper's Weekly,

W, II. Bennett in Harpers Weekly
The undying enmity of the blacks for
their cOlored or mulatto brethren has
been the root of all the Haitian troubles.
1t is hatred that will outlast Haitian
independence, and compel the inevitable
French or American or joint protectorate
of the country to be administered with a
hand of iron. The constantly recurring
revolutions, the periodical contiagrations
of incendiary origin, ard epidemics have
reduced the city of Port au Prince al
most to ruins. Situated at the head of a
great bay, and possessing every natural
advantage resulting from good loca-
ton, the accumulated filth of century
blocks its streets, and the excess,
carried off by the rains, has obliterated
the channels of the bay and made
fetid its waters. Most of the houses in
the city are mean-looking wooden
structures The cathedral resembles a
barn, and the only edifice of any archi-
tectural pretentions. with the exception
of the palace, is the church of St.
Joseph. The senate, house of represen-
tatives, ministerial residences, and thea
ter were all swept away in the revolu-
ton of 1868. The presidents palace,
which stood on an eminence overlooking
the bay, was destroyed at the same time,
but has been rebuilt. The grounds sur
rounding the presidential abode are I'M
cared for and overgrown with rank trop-
ical vegetation.
Since the overthrow of President Gef-
frard in 1867 travel in the interior has
not been safe, voudouism and cannibal-
ism have increased, and the country,
one of the most fertile and richest in
minerals in this hemisphere, has been
rapidly going to ruin.

The Kentucky Legislature elected last
week will stand: In the senate: Demo
Gratis, 81; Republicans, 10; Peoples party,

of the great things they were going to

failure, at which none but themselves

Some writers, not learned in the law,
says the Cincinnati Enquirer, fancy that
the new Kentucky constitution forbids
lotteries. So did the old one; but the

in trying to find out what the new con-
stitution means.

A BETTER WAY OUT.

To the Editor OF the EAGLE.
have just been reading the Alliance
Ohio platform and / have come to the
inevitable conclusion that ali the good
there is in it they got from the Republi-
can party, and all the bad there is they
got up themselves The main principle
of the Peoples paIty-that of the people
ruling is as old as the Republican par
ty itself They show an absurdity in
one of their resolutions by wishing to al
ter the state constitution $50 that neither
party can subsequently change it with
out the consent of the people. If l IN
derstand it, it is already that
way. They show an inconsistency
in another place by advocating
no special privileges, and at the same
time want the government to loan them
money at low rate of interest, when
the government owes more than 1t has
got the money to pay with. The great
trouble | see is the government has been
extravagant, like the people, and needs
to retrench as well as the people, and to
make ends meet it has got TO take the
articles that we can produce that are on
the free list and put a tariff on them, and
cut oil the unnecessary expenses Of the
government.
And the people have got to do the
same with their extravaganza, and make
their products cheaper by growing more
of them to the acre. You can make two
blades of grass grow where one is now,
and two ears Of corn and wheat where
one is now, and two head of stock in
place of one. l know it can be done,
and that is better than asking the govern
ment to help you out, when in fact you
need to help the government. You can
pillow up ten acres of native grass land
and sow it to alfalfa and get two crops
where you now get one. You can go in
your corn field and select your seed corn
from stalks that have on two or three
ears and in this way double your yield
of corn, and by getting your seed wheat
and oats of your neighbor who has forty
to eighty bushels to the acre you can
double your yield in that way.
By more systematic farming you can
grow grain and stock cheaper, and in
that way make money, SO we can help
the country out. II. E. BIDWELL.

WHO SETS THE FASHIONS.
Tho Prince Of Wales Credited with Supee-
vislnK tho Toilets OF HIS Spouse.

Tho Prince Of Wales Credited with supee-
vising tho Toilets OF His Spouse
Although it would DO considered as
rank treason in England to question In
the slightest degree the reputation for
good taste, chic and elegance in dress
enjoyed by the Princess of Wales, yet,
says an exchange, the fact romans that
it Is altogether and entirely undcscrved
The merit of telling tho fashion for tho
fair sex In Great Britain belongs not, as
is generally supposed, to her, but to her
husband, the prince. The lattcr's tastc,
formed as it has been by his intercourse
with tho Confess do Pourtalcs, tho
Marquise dc Galliffet. tho Marquise do
Castellane and others Of the most fa-
nous grande mondeines ut Paris, Is
above rcproach. It is he, who amid his
other multifarious occupations, finds
time to personally supervise every de-
tail of the princess toilets, and no In
novation of dress or coiffure Is over In
augurated by her royal highncss which
has not previously been submitted to
the approval and received the sanction
of the prince. The only occasion when
she was permitted to follow her own
ideas with regard to dress was while
her husband was In India, and tho re-
suit was simply appalling, for by birth
and education she Is thoroughly Ger
man and her personal tasto with regard
to dress Is likewise German. Until she
married she was entirely ignorant of all
the delicate elegance of tho toilette
intime" of Psrisiennc. For a time
she had her own way with regnrd to
the dress of her three daughters, and In
consequence, although they are nice
and pretty girls, they appeared tho
most dowdy and lnelegant young ladies
in the whole of the United kingdom II
has only been since the prince was In
duced to interfere In their behalf that
they have been dressed with any de-
gree of chic. The most recent instance,
however, Of the princess somewhat
commonplace, and what would be de-
scribed in London as bloomsbury tastes,
Is her newly developed crazc for PHO
tographing on china The court jour
nails graveay announced that she had
completed an entire tea service adorned
with the portraits of her family. Ono
can imagine, therefore, tho feelings of
the prince when gazing on his wife's
breakfast table dccked with this pho
tograph-stained porcelain, when he
sees deep golden stream of tea run
ming down the check of his rcvered
mothers face on the teapot while help
ing himself to milk from a milk Jug
adorned with the features of his eldest
son, and subsequently rinsing his cup
in a slop-basin decorated with q group
of his family taken in front Of the
'ibrary window at Sandringham.
