THE LATEST Intelligence from Richmond
on the subject of the settlement OF the State
debt Is 60 the effect that the favorable prop
osition Of the last parties who have UNDER
taken to accomplish that object. like ell that
have preceded 1t, hos been rejected, and
that the debt. apparently at least, Is as far
from settlement ss ever. This is much to
be regretted For the material benefit Of
the State, and of every man In 1t, and for
che reputation Of every man born within the
limits of her borders, 1t Is hoped that the
legislature to be elected this fall will not al
low the paltry difference Of sixty thousand
dollars In the States interest account, TO be
an obstacle to the restoration OF her credit,
and to the removal OF the stains Of repudia-
ton that now tarnish her once bright es-

THE Farmers Home Journal of Louisville,
for a year past the official organ OF the
Farmers' Alliance Of the State OF Kentucky,
has abandoned that organization because
the leaders thereof would give 10 political
character. The Journal Is right. Farmers,
like all other citizens OF the country, should
have political opinions, and should express
them whenever they feel like doing 90; but
1t Ia as unwIse for them TO organize them
selves into close political party as 10 would
be for the merchants. the meohanios or eny
other large class of the country's population.
Legitimate politics has nothing to do With
the separate and distipot interests of differ
ent classes of people, but affects ell alike,
and good government and favored classes
are incompatible. The great Gin OF the re-
publican party lies in the fact that 1t does
sustain favored classes; but two wrongs
never have and never will make right.

& DELEGATION of Washington negroes
called upon President Harrison yesterday
and protested against the appointment OF
ex-Congressman clements OF Georgia to
place n the Interstate commerce commit
sion, on the ground that he had left the
Riggs House In that city when ne
found q negro guest sitting ct the came
table with him. The facts that they
did call for the object stated, and
that they didn't have sense enough to know
1t was Mr.. Grimes, and not Mr.. Glenn
ents who left the hotel for the assigned rea-
son, are not surprising, but, 10 view OF the
fact that Mr.. Harrison Ia on record as gay
Ing he would not like to practice Law
with negroes or to have negro postmaster
az his own home, 1t Ia little strange, at

Ia authoritatlvely stated he was 30 impressed

A Specimen of True Heroisrn.

H. E. Fletcher, the gentlemanly agent
of the G. & n. W. road, made practical
demonstration of the fact that he was a
man of nerve and quickness of action
Tuesday by very thrilling experience
The Kenosha division train is due here at
1855, but is usually late, as was the case
Tuesday, and they had arrived just before
No 5 came in from the south. The con-
ductor of the K. d. knew that it would be
unwise to back up, but brakeman gave
the signal and one car was across the
track when No. hove in sight. A vain
attempt was made to signal the K. D. en-
gineer to go ahead. He failed to see it,
A terrible collision seemed inevitable and
every one made run for safety. Mr.
Fletcher started to run, but glancing back
saw woman with asmall boy and baby
in a baby buggy standing helplessly near
the track. He ran back and grabbed the
baby aid told the woman to run for her
life, pushing her along as he went The
train came closer and closer and finally at
the last moment che K. D. engineer caught
the signal to go ahead and did so. He
had just cleared the track when No 5
dashed by just gracing the K. D. train.
1t was probably the closest call that has
ever taken place here.

Dutton Has a Word to Say.

Secretary A. P. Dutton. of the Wiscon--
sin Industrial Association of Racine,
whom the financial committee of that as
Sociation, have been after for retaining
money and mileage tickets of the associa-
ton, sends the TELEGRAPH-C COURIER the
following:
Il have returned all the tickets which I
have had in my possession to the reSpec-
tive railroad offices except one, which was
taken from my office, and is now in the
possession of the association.
AS to the books and papers which |
have kept as secretary, | am perfectly
willing that they should be thoroughly
examined by the committee, or any other
committee duly appointed to audit my
accounts but [ do not think that they
ought to be taken from my possession so
long as | am secretary of the association,
and must therefore respectfully decline
to surrender them until my term of office
expires by resignation or otherwise. And
as further reason concerning the books
and papers | wish to say that several alb
stracts papers and vouchers have already
been furnished to the association in order
to make an examination of my accounts,
and that none of these vouche rs have been
returned to me, and as they are my own
property, must respectfully request that
they be delivered to me, as they are nee
essary for my own protection.
AS 10 the money which I have retained
as part of my salary, | have only fol-
lowed the same course as that pursued by
preceding secretaries Of the association.
My salary is $500, 5000 Of which was due
when the late fair closed, end the balance
of which will be due next January at the
annual meeting of the association. / have
retained $3.50 IS all of which, with the
balance necessary to make $400, has been
earned by me. although one-half of it is
not yet quite due. Technically, there
fore, / suppose the association is entitled
to the possession Of the money until next
January, and | will therefore pay to the

THE ALLEN CHIMNEY.
II is Now Completed-A View from the
Top.

1t is said that Jordan is hard road to
travel, but it is a veritable picnic COM
pared to climb to the top of the Allen
chimney This is written advisedly for a
representative of the TELEGRAPH CoU-
RIER was among the number who climbed
that brick pile 230 feet above mother
earth on yesterday. Oh, but when one
reaches the top, and gets his neck through
the last trap door, and the view Of this
land Of milk and honey to the north, west,
and south, and the blue waters of Lake
Michigan on the east well, it is simply
not surpassed this side of the Washington
Monument The writer has climbed
Bunker Hill monument, gazed from the
top of the Chicago Auditorium and en-
joyed the magnificent view from the top
of the Washington monument, but aside
from the latter, this view from the Allen
Chimney is not surpassed. To the north
may be seen the smoke arising from Mil
waukee thirty-five miles distant. To The
west the splendid farms of Wisconsin lap
each other until lost in the distance Of
Walworth county. To the south, the
panorama is limited to Fort Sheridan
and the grandeur and beauty of it all is
we'll worth the laborious climb to the top.
This chimney has just been completed,
- four months after the commence
ment of the work. and is now, not ex-
cepting the Pabst chimney at Milwau-
kee, the highest structure in Wisconsin,
an even $50 feet. To build this chimney
more than 375, 600 brick have been used,
and forty cords Of stone enter into the con-
struction of the base upon which the
brick work rests. The brick are all hard
burned-hard enough for paving brick
and while capable of supporting 5000
pounds to the square inch, the pressure
upon the bottom layer Of brick is
calculated at III pounds to
the square inch. The stone
base is sunk eight feet in the ground and
is twenty-five feet square. The chimney
proper is nineteen feet in diamater at the
base and nine feet at the top, the walls
at the base being six feerin thickness. 1t
is structure Of which the Aliens may
well feel proud, and while it is absolutely
necessary to their business, it will also
stand for years as monument to one of
the largest manufacturing plants in the
state. Any mention of this structure
would be incomplete without stating that
No entire work was planned and success
fully completed under the direction Of
Charlie Blood, Kenosha boy, with a
head for mechanics far above the average
artisans. His work has been well done
