Veragua, s Acceptance.

When the Duke of Veragua w&s men
toned some time ago in connection with
the Spanish Enthusiastically at Washing
ton, the objection was raised that he
knew nothing of diplomacy. But that
was mistake. He is diplomat. Not
long ago cable was sent him
asking, "If American gratitude for the
services of Christopher Columbus should
take the shape of fund, would it be ac-
cepted?" What was meant was, if the
American people should chip in and help
him out of his financial difficulties, would
he take the money, or get in huff at the
action of the impudent foreigners? Mr..
Columbus reply was; 81 accept as an
honor the sympathies of the American
people"
Now, what diplomat could have put it
more neatly than that} He has not invi-
ted Americans to give him lift. "
He accepts their sympathy" He
was not asked anything about sympathy,
but whether or not he would take cash
in consideration of his great-eleven- times
removed grandpa's services. Inasmuch
as it would not be graceful to say yes
hat-footed, he cleverly accepts "sympa-
thy knowing that sympathy in this
instance has, or will have, cash value
1t is quite likely that the duke calcu-
lated, also-and the calculation was prob
ably well based-that by thus throwing
himself upon the sympathy of his Ameri-
can friends the fund would grow the larg-
er When Chicago millionaires come to set
tie for services rendered they count the
cost" They do it in the case of the stock
yard superintendent, and would do it in
the case of Christopher Columbus. But
when an opportunity presents itself fol
them to patronize a nobleman it is likely
that they will be more liberal.
The dukes clever acceptance makes il
incumbent upon the Chicago gentlemen
who proposed the fund to do the hand
some thing" by him 1t proves, also, thai
he is diplomat enough to avoid pointed
question in a clever way. At the same
! time it shuts him of from ever being tho
| Spanish ambassador at Washington.

Teutonio Sense of Humor.

Her Dreadful PLIGHT.

A rare and ridiculous case Of seashore mod
esty was brought to light a few days ago by
Life Guard Repp, an intelligent young fellow
with keen sense Of humor, says an Atlantic
City special
He was leisurely rowing his surf boat along
the line OF bathCrS when he cspied a young
lady swimming towards him with all her
might, In an instant he had his boat close to
her, and at once proceeded to get her aboard.
Then he set about administering the pre-
scribed treatment for half drowned persons.
But she Indignantly refused TO let him touch
her, and began crying as If in great distress.
Repp was in Quandary, and started to row
ashore as the best way of settling the diff1cul-
ty. Imagine his amaZement when the young
lady poured forth the most earnest pleadings
that he should not pull towards the beach.
Then she tearfully told him all about It..
She was in bathing with her beau, and one OF
her stockings became lOoSened, and finally
disappeared leaving a shapely limb unprO-
tected. She finally determined to swim sea-
ward, preferring the possibility of drowning
TO the certainty of having to thus run the
gauntlet of the beach loungers. Then she ear
nestly implOred the guard to help her in heI
plight, and had thoroughly Interested him
when her beau bobbed up alongside the boat
and took in the situation at glance. He
lost no time in procuring another stocking

last Sunday the ministers of Chicago
united iu Coudcmuiup some OF tho sug-
re-tive exhibitions that are go Doe seen in
the famous Midway plaisancc Of the Co
lumbar fair. The particular thing they
condemned is the dances Of the Nautch
girls, These dances they denounced as
vulgar, Indecent and degrading. A great
many people they said would not permit
their children to visit the fair for fear
they would get into Midway Plaisanee
and see the licentious exhibitions that are
permitted there
just how bad the exhibitions are can
not be understood very well from what
tho Chicago ministers say of them, be
cause the ministers said they had not
seen them. Their attacks upon them
We're based upon what they had heard
about them.
There is no reason to doubt however,
that the exhibitions ought to be prohibit
ed. The fact that they are characteris-
tic of certain countries is no. reason why
they should be tolerated at the fair, or in
this country. If they are Objectionable
they should be suppressed.
It's stated quite number of the fair
directors condemn them and have taken
the necessary steps to have them stopped.
The difficulty in the way of supprcssiug
them at once is the contract which the
managers of them have with the fair di-
rectors. These contracts are very strong
ly drawn and to break them summarily
would open the way for damage suits.
Henry Watterson, in a recent letter,
says he heard so much about the lasciv-
ious exhibitions in Midway Plaisancc
that he made it a point to see them He
characterized them as weak and vapid,
rather than obscene and vulgar He
thinks that beyond the types of people
the shows in Midway Plaisance are frauds
and fakes
Nothing should be permitted in the
fair that is calculated to cast opprobrium
on it. A very large proportion of the
visitors consider some of the exhibitions
in Midway Plaisance to be very objection
able That is very satisfactory reason
why those particular exhibitions should
be suppressed.

II some 0f th, republican papers arr to

dispatches of these papers say that Judge

statement is made that De win appoint
MIR Springer chairman OF the ways and
means committee, Mr. Bland chairman Of
the coinage committee and Mr. Holman
chairman of the appropriations commit
tee This information is said TO be based
upon letter TO prominent southern
senator
It is pretty safe to say that Judge
Crisp has not made known to anyone,
what he intends TO do in respect to the
chairmanships of the committees. It
may be true that he purposes TO put
Mr. Springer, Mr.. Bland and Mr. Hol-
man back in their old places, but if he
does he would hardly let the fact be
known. He mas been exceedingly pru-
dent recently in discussing matters re
lating to the organization of the House
and questions that will come before that
body for its action. 1t would be rather
remarkable, therefore, if he had confided
TO anyone his policy relative to the com
mittees because experience teaches him
that a secret of that sort would hardly
be kept
1T has been stated that there is an un
dersJanding between the President and
Judge Crisp relative to the formation Of
the committees that will have charge of
the tariff, coinage, currency and appro-
priations, but no one is authorized to say
whether there is or not. Neither the
President nor Judge Crisp has said there
is. The question of the organization of
the committees may never have been dis
cussed by them If it ever was, it is
quite certain that the President did not
insist that the committees should be
made up in accordance with his views,
Because Judge Crisp would not have sub
mitted to dictation of that sort. 1t is all
nonsense therefore to say that Judge
Crisp win defy the President" and make
up the committees to suit himself
Among the democratic leaders the hope
has been expressed that the committees
that will have charge of the tariff and
financial questions will be in sympathy
with the administration on those ques-
tions. Whether or not Judge Crisp will
take into consideration the views of the
administration in forming his committees
is question that cannot be answered
with any degree of certainty. The re
publicans evidently hope he will not The
less harmony there is among the demo
Gratis the better they will be satisfied.
Judge Crisp, however, is level-headed
statesman and is not likely to do any
thing that will tend to lessen the efficien-
cy of his party for the work it has to do

From the Wilmington n. O messenger

In the farming figures furnished by Mr., L.
O. Quinn in Yesterdays Messenger, the profit
was small 6n thirty acres in cotton-Sll45
The question remains can a southern farmer
afford to make cotton when thirty acres only
make a clear profit of Sl14.50: a man can
make more in corn even. or in WatermelonS.
Tobacco and trucking beat it out of sight.
The margin is dreadfully small when 1t takes
man and horse a year to make Sll4-5O A
Granville farmer some years ago would have
turned up his nose if YOU talked OF less than
500 clear profit on each acre of tobacco. and
many made 800 or 500 and the best 500 or
more. We do not believe southern farmers
can keep out of debt If cotton ranges at not
morethan or ~ cents. The outlook now is
for a big crop and lower prices.
