DONNELLY'S FAILURE.

The enthusiasm at Omaha IS still ris-
ing over tine big nugget that is to fall
into its prospective pocket in the shape
of the great convention of the Peoples
party. The prospects Of hot blood, ex-
cited and long-drawn out debates, with
possible splits, but add to the satisfac
ton with which the gathering is antici-
pated- The 1900 delegates are expected
to be present with ten times as many
outsiders and partisans. In glowing
moments the figures often reach 100000.
The greater the dlssensions and divis-
ions the longer the crowd will remain.
The material gains to the community
from such gathering to continue a
week or more m ust be very great
and then the hilarity and yivacity
that will attend it. The Repub-
lican gathering at the other twin will
be thrown into the shade. Whatever
the financial views of the convention,
the million or more dollars to be dropped
at Omaha in connection with it will all
have the golden hue. Why did not IG-
NATIUs think of the metropolis Of the
state that so honors and loves him? Had
he secured this prize for st. Paul, the
wild Juror for his candidacy might have
forced the honor upon him. Now there
is almost Indifference whether he is put
at the front or dropped into the I'M
savory ditch with the debris of subli-
mated hopes.

been given of a probable return this
summer of DR.. J. A. LEONARD from

American politics, considered from
Harrisonian standpoint, may notdemand
his immediate presence In the state. 1t

fitting Of Republican retaInerS. They
come at the call of Chief HARRISON.
They come on the assumption that he
is about to make the second greatest eff
fort of his life. Their fealty is pre-
Sumed to be yet mistaken, and. indeed,
there is no apparent reason to believe
otherwise. They are useful and i'm

Gated Harrisonian machine. Minneap

gnished presence next June.

WHITE AND BLACK.
The Color Line Dividing Texas
Republicans.

Republicans.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, March TO-
James p. Newcombe, president of the
state Republican league, today returned
from Austin. where he attended the
state Republican convention. He is
leader OF what is known as the ''lilly
white" Republican element of the
state, and will not abide by
the action of the Austin con-
vention, which was controlled by
colored men, in selecting dele
gates to the national convention. He
issued a call this evening for a mass
convention Of white Republicans to be
held at Dallas April II, for the purpose
of selecting all opposing delegation to
the Minneapolis convention. In his call
Mr.. NeWcombe states that at the Dallas
convention it is intended that state
ticket be named and the Republican
party in Texas organized OH strict color
line. The delegation which they will
send to the national convention will go
instructed to oppose Harrison to the very
last.
In speaking of This interesting fight,
he said last evening: 1.-The white Re-
publicans of the state outside the fed
eral officials are determined to no
longer submit to negro domination in
the conventions of the party. The fact
that the Republican party in the state
has remained at a standstill for years is
attributed to this domination, and it is
believed by the Republicans who are
making this move that new spirit will
be infused into the councils of the party
which must be made respectable before
we can expect the respectable element
of white Republicans throughout the
state to affiliate with it and take an in
terest 10 its success"

paper even asserts that with free wool
the farmers might as we'll cut the
Threats OF all their sheep. 1t is not so
intended. but it is possible that there
may be profit yet in cutting the throats
of the sheep. 1t may pay to raise them
for mutton alone. The American Wool
Reporter suggests this as the eXplana-
ton of the failing away last year of the
production of wool in this country to
the amount of 100000 pounds,
as reported by the experts Of
the National WOODEN Manufacturers
association. 1t will be remembered
that Secretary RUSK'S figures reported
an increase of sheepin the year of about
1,5O0,0o0 But be the mutton valuation
what it may, there is no reason why
free wool should discourage the produce
ton of sheep. In the opening of the
tariff debate in the house this week, Mr..
MCMILLIN presents the wool questio n
very clearly. lie asserts that the price
of native woods Is less than before the
passage of the MCKINLEY measure. AS
the restrictions are placed upon the in-
ferior foreign grades that are not pro-
duced here, and are essential to work in
with the home article, the manufacture
Is checked and the home market is
dull. There is less demand for native
wool and the price falls. The field is
largely taken with shoddies and Inferior
StuffS. These substitutes, the gentle
man understands, take the places of
29,000,000 feeceS, OR twothirdS OF the
number produced in the United States.
If the explanation of the tariff reformer
in the house is not satisfactory, this
paragraph from one of the messages OF
President GRANT should be conclusive
with Republicans:
"The introduction free of duty of such
woods as we DO not produce would stimulate
the manufacture of goods requiring the use
of those we do not produce, and therefore
would be a benefit to home production"
Gen. GRANT may not have contem-
plated entire removal of duties from
woods, but Mr. MCMIId.IN AYERS that
on woods of similar quality the prices
have been almost identical in Boston
and London since the duties were i'm
posed, showing that the wool grower in
this country has not derived any ma
terial advantage from the tariff. The
report of the minority against the free
wool bill in congress asserts that wool
has had protection in this country for
seventy-fve years. AS result the
sheep industry has fallen behind, and
only half the wool needed for home use
is grown in the country. The Repub-
lican leaders in the Dakotas then pre-
sumo upon the ignorance of the farmers
when they attempt to drive them into
the protection fold with their woolly
devices,

GOOD TO TRY.

Congressman SPRINGER is happily be-
lieved to have passed the danger line;
partially, at least, by virtue of strong
will put forth to battle the adversary of
life. Gen. GRANT is credited with hay
ing prolonged his existence in the face
of a remorSeleSs disease because he
would live to complete his book. Among
the legends of an Eastern state is the
case of a woman in the mortuary stages
of consumption, as supposed. AS her
husband had long and hard trip
through the snowdrifts for the minis
ter, he concluded to take in the under.
taker at the same time, and ne brought
him along with the parsou. When the
indignant woman learned this, she rose
up in her bed and declared: ''There1l
be no funeral in this house." 1t was
deferred forty years. Perhaps there is
suggestion of Christian science or
some of the modern notions in the al
legged control of the mind over bodily
conditions. but it is good experiment
to try when supplemented by more ma
terial agencies.

One of the leading points in the es-

Dakota is offering premiums for, no

the sections not SO reliable for wheat,
and the fleecy animal promises to be-
come one of the important factors In the

THE IOWA MOyEMENT.

Mr.. BLAINE is so palpably out of the
list of the poSsibleS at the Minneapolis
convention that it seems absurd to elect
delegates in his name. Yet the CLARK
son scheme i'll Iowa is being worked
right along. The Des Moines organ
abates none of its vigor in pressing it.
Under its inspiration instructions for
HARRISON have been voted down in
several counties, and BLAINE men
elected to the state convention. So far
it claims that the delegates are about
equally divided between HARRISON and
BLAINE, and its confidence in being
able to take the state from the presi-
dent is lessened. 1t explains in its
most recent issue that it is not
question of loyalty to BLAINE or
HARRISON, or regard for their
individual desires, but of continued
Republican control in Iowa and the ma
ton" To oppose the effort to shut out
HARRISON it stigmatizes as trucking
Subserviency or still more despicable
cowardice." it's virtually conceded that
HARRISON cannot carry Iowa Or the ma
ton. If this reflects the mind of the
CLARKSoN at the head of the national
committee, it may be taken as evidence
that the anti-HARRISoN element in the
party still has hope of uniting OH some

MY LADY.

Now lovingly the stars look down, f.
While in their tender light ~
The meadows, cool and peaceful, sleep
Through all the silent night. ~
A south wind romps upon the fields,
And dances down the hills,
And follows fairy bubble boats -
Along the murmuring riils.
So swift and light its passage is,
SO airily it treads;
It scarcely stirs the tender grass
Or bends the clover heads.
And all the flowers OF all the fields
And all the forests hold
Pour out their profiigate perfume
Upon this lover bold.
Had the south wind power to WOO
And right to roam at will
Along my ladys loneiiest walks
Or DER her window sill,
I'd hasten to a lonely place,
Where fields of Violets bloom,
And from their gen'rous. tender hearts
Take all their sweet perfume,
Swift, then, I'd speed the summer night
To where my lady sleeps
In snowy raiment, light and loose,
From which her bosom peeps
And passes, with each breath. from view
Behind screen of lace:
Nor any flower should tempt nae from
The roses in her face.

THE REHRI SEA CRISIS

A cabinet conference was held yes
terday with rather indefinite results
upon the Behring sea question. Secre-
tary BLAINE was not present. The
prevailing sentiment, however, ap-
peared to favor firm stand against the
contemptuouS attitude at present as
sumed by England in summarily
cutting short all further advances
toward an amicable arbitration of the
matter. The popular position favored
by public opinion in Washington ap-
pears to be right in line with that OF
President CLEyELAND'S minister,
PHELPS, who, in concise note upon
the question as then presented, held
that Great Britain would not proceed
to eXtremities in case in which she
was so clearly in the wrong. Such a
sentiment will meet hearty indorse-
ment from every patriotic citi-
zen of the United States. Now
is not the time to question
the sagacity or wisdom of previous ne
gotlatlon in the matter on our part An
attempt to show how much better the
affair could have been handled from
the department of state avails nothing.

serious, and demands firm stand for
our rights, and that stand once taken
will doubtless receive all necessary aid
