An UnRratefnl Woman.

Chicago paper is responsible for this re-
markable story Of a burglars gallantry and a
woman's ingratitude: Ethics of the Burglars
brotherhood were shown in an impromptu con-
ference between Charles Schneider and Mrs
+. Handrey at 1908 Wrightwood avenue Mon
day. He had given up the task of trying to
find the pockets in a number of dresses and was
inspecting case of jewels when Mrs. Handrey
entered. She cast her eyes over the articles
Schneider had laid aside and said;
gs'You have found all the jewelry and should
like to make one request of you"
To be sure. madame" replied the burglar,
with bow. What is your wish"
Please leave a few bits of jewery, for every
article there, but one, was given to me by my
mother who is dead. "
'Allow me" and the burglar, with flourish,
handed all the jewels to her. 81 will respect
madam's wish in the matter Ihad mother
myself. You may retain your souvenirs.
Good-by, madame"
Mrs. Handrey was not to be outdone in gal
lautry. Hastily selecting a small scarf pin
she said: Please accept this for your kind
ness"
II can't do it," said Schneider whereupon he
made low bow ana an exit Emerging into
the alley he walked away, as IL expecting no
further annoyance. But Mrs Handrey soon
recovered and gave the alarm. man named
Bethke caught and held Schneider until officers
took him In custody.

DR.. Whitley's open letter. published in
the MORNING NEWS yesterday, puts quite a
serious aspect upon the Northern Post
affair. DR.. Whitley says: II tell you, as
long as there is any southern blood there
will be men to resent the infamous lie of
c. c. Post when he said short time ago
that the women of this country had to live
a life OF shame in order to get bread" DR..
Whitley owes it to the public to give further
particulars as to the time and place of this
remarkable speech made by Mr.. Post. And
then MIR. Post owes it to the people to prove
beyond a shadow of doubt that he did not
say it, or get out of this state. If he made
any such infamous charge as that, Georgia
is mighty poor place for him to attempt
to stay.

A Cleveland Anecdote.

"But South Carolina speaks of him as the
Wall street candidate?" said New York
Herald reporter to E. Ellery Anderson, the
democratic leader.

ground for that is that he happens to have an
office in a building which looks out into Wall

his pen and balanced it between his thumb and

Better Times Ahead.

! Notwithstanding the general impression
that there is great depression in business In
the south, the commercial agencies report
that business throughout the south is in a
/ surprisingly satisfactory condition. The
last eighteen months have been very trying
ones to the people Of nearly the whole coun-
! try, especially to the people Of the cotton
states who have suffered not only from the
stringency in the money market growing
| out of the financial disaster which overlook
the Barring Bros. in $780, but also from the
extremely low price Of cotton, their great
product. From the latter source alone their
losses have amounted to more than $780,
600 900.
But in spite Of their misfortuues they
have not lost their courage. They are just
as determined TO make the present season
successful one as If the results of last sea-
sons work had been all they could reason
ably have hoped for. Indeed there are rea-
sons for saying that the low price of cotton
last season and the season before has taught
them lesson that will be of the greatest
benefit to them. 1t has taught them how
necessary it is for them to diversity their
crops 3D. that they will be in a measure in-
dependent. In future when their cotton
crops fail, or the price Of cotton falls so low
that their cotton crops are not profitable,
they will still be able to live without sub
Jecting themselves to serious privations.
A gentleman who is a large planter, and
who has made a fortune in planting and
business said to the MORNING NEWS day
or two ago, in speaking of the outlook for
Al, Al. .
injuring the farmers, the low price of cot
ton had indirectly done them a great deal
OF good. He admitted, OF course, that
many or them will have a hard time to
make their expenses and a living this year,
but as they have learned to live economi-
cally and not to trust everything to cot
ton. they will be better off next
fall than ever before. They will get much
better price for their cotton than they re-
ceived for it this year, and, having given
some attention to food crops, they will be
in a position to regard the future much
more hopefully. They will owe less money,
and their stocks of home produced food
supplies will be much greater. They will
have more hogs and fewer dogs, and al
though they will have less cotton they will
get more money for it than they got for
their cotton this year, because the price for
cotton will be much better.
The gentleman who threw out these views
said that in his section of the country the de-
termination of the people to fight their way to
prosperity by patient self-denial and by
utilizing the experience they had gained
during the last year or so reminded him of
the days of 1868 and 1864.
There is no doubt that the lessons that
have been learned during the hard times
will be helpful to the people of the south.
They are not discouraged by any means.
On the contrary they look toward the future
with confidence, believing they are better
equipped for improving their material con-
dition that at any previous time

nfistaken Mr.. Blaokb,,rn.

Senator Blackburn, of Kentucky, is re-
markably fluent speaker. He never hest
tates for a word, and ne can talk from sun
rise to sunset without becoming tired, ap-
parently, and without travelling over the
same ground. But those who have heard
one of his speeches are not anxious to hear
another. There is nothing in what he says
that faItens itself in the memory, and his
reputation for accuracy isn't first-class. His
prominence as a democratic leader, how
ever, gives what he says a certain amount
of weight In a number of newspapers that
are not friendly to Mr.. Cleveland the state
ment has been made recently that Mr.. Cleve-
lands vote was smaller in nearly
every state in 1888 than in 1884. Little at
tention was paid to this statement until
Senator Blackburn said a day or two ago
that with the single exception of New
Jersey, Mr.. Cleveland's vote dwindled in
every state which gave him a majority in
1854"
The figures show that Senator Black
burn had simply repeated what he had seen
in some newspaper that was unfriendly to
Mr.. Cleveland. For instance, Alabama
gave Mr. Cleveland 23,369 more votes in
1888 than in 1884; Kentucky 30 $3.50 more in
1883 than in 1884; Connecticut Z, 721 more in
1888 than in 1884; New York u. 81 more in
1888 than in 1884; New Jersey %, no more
in 1888 than in 1884; Indiana
1888 more in 1888 than in 1884;
Virginia 8, $50 more IN 1888 than in 1884;
West Virginia II, 800 more in 1888 than in
1884; North Carolina 4, $50 more in 1888
IN Nd In,
1888 than in 1884. In fact, in all the states
except five Mr. Cleveland's vote was greater
in 1888 than in 1884. These five were
Maine, Vermont, Delaware, Nevada and
South Carolina, and the whole vote in each
Of these states was less in 1883 than in 1884.
1t can hardly be said that Mr.. Cleveland's
vote dwindled between 1884 and 1888, in
view Of the fact that his total vote in 1888
was Gel $50 more than 1t was in 1884, and
95, 534 greater than the total vote cast for
Gen. Harrison.
Public men frequently complain that news
papers are reckless in making statements. but
if they were half as reckless as their critics
the public would have very little confidence
in them. Senator Blackburn did not in
tend, Of course, to mislead the public with
regard TO Mr.. Clevelands vote in 1888. He
saw a statement with respect to that vote
which suited his purpose, and. without
taking the trouble to verify it, he sent it
over the country as his own. 1t would be
only just and fair for him to publicly an
nounce that he was mistaken, and that Mr..
Clevelands vote, instead of dwindling be-
tween 1884 and 1888, greatly increased.
- l. -
tradiction that Mr.. Cleveland's popularity
is much greater now than it was in 1888.
The demand that comes from all parts OF
the country for his nomination shows it is.
Indeed, the demand is so strong that unless
some extraordinary mistake is made be-
tween now and the meeting of the national
convention there will be little or no opposi-
ton to his nomination.

There are several urchins that hang
around the telegraph offices In Macon who
give promise of becoming bright and enter
prising criminals. A few days ego they
tapped a telegraph wire over which a base
ball report was being sent, led the current
by piece of office wire into an alley where
they had a ticker and enjoyed the report of
the game by innings as 1t came in. while the
audience in the hall, who had paid their adj
mission fees Of 25 cents each to hear the
operator call balls, strikes and outs that
were being made on a distant field, tore
their hair, metaphorically, and swore,
actually, because there was "a bug on the
wire" somewhere. From stealing a base
ball report for fun TO stealing a stock quo
tation or the result Of horse race for
profit is not a very long step, and it would
not be surprising If some of these bright
boy operators should attempt something of
the kind some day, as soon as they have re-
duced overlapping to q sure thing.
