THE GREAT "PIE BRIT.n
From an interview with Rudyard Kipling,l

From an interview with Rudyard Kipling,l
"Our moist, gray English weather is the
thing, after all, to keep the blood in the
veins and the gastric juices in work. Now
the Yankee does not seem to be able to
sleep O. nights, or laugh out loud, or as
simulate his food in peace"
81 thought that last was mainly due to
the kind of food he tried to assimlate."
"No doubt that has a good deal to do with
it. speak with knowledge, for l live on
the borders of the Great Pie Belt"
"The Great Pie Belt?n echoed our ap-
palled interviewer. "Yes," replied Mr..
Kipling; "the Pie Belt, which extends
through the New England states and
across northern New York. Pie is a habit
all over the eastern states. In the belt il
is debauch. Have you considered the
physiological condition of people which
eats pie for breakfast, pie for dinner, and
pie for supper, and takes ice water and
sweetstuff between whiles? Dyspepsia is
endemic; you can't expect anything else" "

There is a settlement near Mobile, Ala,
called "Little Africa" which has a strange
history. Its people are pure blooded Da-
homeyans, who settled there after the war,
and have never married or given in mar
riage outside themselves. They are said
to be exceedingly fine specimens of the
African race. They are the representa-
tives of the last cargo of negroes brought
into the United States from Africa. They
were brought here in 1859 as the result of
bet made in 1857 by the captain of a riv-
er steamboat in Alabama with four north
ern men, passengers of his, that he could
bring over cargo of slaves in two years
in spite of the strictness of the law against
such traffic. The federal officers learned
of the arrival of the vessel, and the cap
tain was compelled to get under cover.
The planters who had promised to pur-
chase the slaves were afraid to do so, and
they were, in consequence, never sepa-
rated.

Harness, Robe and Blankets
Stolen. Reward for Their
Return,

SToLEN from my carriage house the night of
harness. silver trimmed single straps, heavy
back pad with a nice sweat pad, long lines color
dark gray and fancy blue and bound with black
one large size woolen horse blanket, striped red
blue ana gray. 1t had two small tears. one of
which had been closed with a patch. One
rubber blanket. The rubber blanket was found
the next morning, Tuesday, about one-half mile
south of my premises on the Cutler road leading
10 Newfane. The team conveying the stolen
goods was evidently going south, the apprehen

be suitably rewarded. c. p. STICKNEY.

Caring:for the wounded.

A crowd collected quickly and the
wounded women were carried into the
Brooks house, occupied by Henry T. Akley
and A. A. Barker Here they received
medical attendance, and were made as
comfortable as possible. Miss Martha
Blood was the only one who was not at
first unconscious, and her cries for her dead
niece were heartrending Miss Wardwell
soon recovered consciousness, as did Miss
McNeilly later. Miss Burt showed some
signs of consciousness, but her condition
was too dangerous to permit of removal,
In about an hour Miss Martha Blood, Miss
Wardwell and Miss McNeilly were taken
to Lindenhurst, the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
George E. Crowell, where they now are.
The body of Miss Mariana Blood was
laid out on cushions, and as soon as posi-

Republican Senators Fighting the Tariff
Bill.

The Republican senators held caucus
on the tariff question Monday night at the
residence of Senator Sherman in Washing
ton. Although no vote was taken on the
question of party policy on the tariff bill
there was a strong feeling when the cau-
Gus adjourned, after a four hours session,
that the bill could be defeated. Almost
every senator present-and there was full
representation-ha something to say. the
majority indorsng the policy that has been
pursued by Senators Allison of Iowa, AL
drich of Rhode Island, Hale of Maine and
Chandler of New Hampshire Reasonable
debate will be insisted upon, it being the
impression that a debate of six weeks or
two months will kill the bill. Special at
tention will be called to the trusts which
the Republicans believe have been cared
for, and an effort will be made to show that
the bill will create a large surplus, thus
making the duty on sugar and the income
tax unnecessary.
The Democratic senators were alarmed
by this action of the Republicans and they
in turn held caucus Tuesday, but without
arriving at any conclusion.

FRIDAY, MAY Is, 1894.

John f. Russell of Massachusetts,, who
has Just returned from Washington, is in
state of mind. There is no possibility of
the enactment of any tariff by this Con-
gress," he tells a friend. "The Demo-
cratic majority act like fools. The party
is doomed to overwhelming defeat this fall,
and in '9G; but in eight years the country
will return to free trade" We can wait

IS TT A SOLUTION?

At great length The Statesman the pas
two days has been giving the opinions G
two able Eastern financiers upon tn
proper plan, not simply to bridge over on
present financial condition, but to max
its recurrence almost impossible. 1t mus
have been noticed that in neither speec
reproduced was there any effort along tn
old and hackneyed line of contest be
tween gold and silver. The history OF tn
relations of these two metals was alluded
to, but not as an argument for either n
against the other, but as pointing tn
moral that upon neither or both combined
could full dependence be placed to satisf!
the growing though at present disabled
conditions of our times. The basic argu
ment of "The Baltimore Plan" is no
merely for plenty of money, and that goot
money, but for an adjustably elastic cur
rency. For the need of our nation IS GER
tainly not for an abundance of unstable
or deprecated money, but for an abund
ance of currency of unfluctuating value
and of perfect adjustability to the vary
ing needs of business and commerce. Will
this Baltimore plan meet all the require
ments of the case that fronts us? If not,
wherein is it lacking, and how can it be
properly amended? Underlying its sue
cessful operation there may still be the
battle to be fought out over the realistic
value if gold and slver-but would not
the puttingof such law into effect so far
kill the fiat money making power of the
government as to draw the fangs of the
gold and silver anacondas? For then
gold and silver would both stand on the
equitable basis Of actual intrinsic value,
and they, together with all other property,
would be the foundation of the super
structure-a currency issued on actual
values, and made more absolutely unim-
pcachable by careful and proper national
safeguards of legislation. The silver
mines of the United States and the world,
together with all the gold mines might
with impunity be thrown open and work
cd day and night. Their output would be
intrinsic value upon which national cir
which would not dictate the value of that
circulation or make one part of it more
valuable than another.
We do not at this time undertake to say
that this Baltimore plan is everything its
friends claim for it, that it has thrown
around it all the restrictions necessary,
or that it will work with the perfect
elasticity predicted. But this we
Ito believe, if put into effect
it would 60 very far towards crush
ing out the fight between gold and silver
in the United States, and thus relieve our
nation of a struggle in whose death throes
we can see nothing but dire results to all
the people. If those with better than
Populistic financial ken can see no danger
in it, then even if for no other reason than
for the suppression of the silver-gold con
test should not the plan be tried?

lantly to its Democratic reform flag and
to Cleveland and thus advises Demo,
Gratis:
1T is noteworthy that very few of the
'protectionist' organs venture to construe
the recent Republican victory as meaning
that the people do not favor tariff reform.
The more the elections are studied the
more apparent it becomes that the over
whelming blow was directed by voters,
not against Mr.. Cleveland not against
his aggressive tariff reform policy, but
against the elements of his party which
deserted the cause he upholds.
That cause has incomparably more vi.
tality than any political party. In 1892
the Republicans opposed it and wer,
swept out of power. Now the Democrats
have found out that they could not tritlc

tariff taxation from the neclls of the PEG.

of tariff reform on its bayonets, as well

What Democrats and Republicans
want is sound money-what the Popu.
lists are after is plenty of money. The
Baltimore plan of currency issuance. on
its face, gives plenty of money and yet
makes it perfectly sound, and it would
seem all political parties under it should

"TuE BALTIMORE PLAN"


With the force bill in the interest OF
enlightened government killed forever IN
our Union and a long quietus put upon
the tariff question by the late election
no other topic will so engross the puDilc
attention as the financial problem that
faces us and must be solved. 1t is SAID
President Cleveland is most deeply con-
cerned over this subject and will treat II
deliberately in his forthcoming message
10 congress. In the mean time a step
was taken at the convention of the Amer
lean Bankers association last October IN
Baltimore that may lead very far toward
the solution of this vital problem. Inc
question then discussed is now widely
known as "The Baltimore plan for the
creation of safe and elastic currency"
On that subject two especially fine ad-
dresses were delivered, one by Chas. Z.
Homer, president of the Second National
Bank of Baltimore and the other by
Hon. A. b. Hepburn, ex-comptroller OF
the currency and now president OF the
Third National bank of New YORK.
We herewith give in full the speeches
of Messrs. Homer and Hepburn and
your careful attention is invited to them.

DRINK THE CAUSE OF THE AFFAIR
Second Mate McGavin and an Able
Seamen Fall from the Gang
plank and are Lost

! About 45 last night, James b. Nc
Gavin, the second mate of the British
bark Hollywood, and Peter Hageman,
an able seamen on the same vessel,
were drowned by falling off the gang
plank while going aboard their vessel
at the bonded warehouse. 1t appears
that several of the men We're drinking
during the evening, and about II o'clock
became noisy and quarrelsome. Off
Ger Seafeldt and Chief Loughery
watched them for some time, allowing
them some latitude on account of the
fact that they had just come ashore
after long voyage, but were finally
obliged to take the steward and one of
the seamen into custody. Returning
from the city prison, the officers saw
the remainder of the party vending
their way toward the vessel, and after
seeing them as far as the gate leading
to the dock of the warehouse returned
up town. A few minutes afterward the
report reached the officers that two of
the men had been lost.
McGavin had been sleeping on table
in downtown saloon, and his friends
endeavored to carry him to the vessel
Being unable to do so on account of
their condition, they were assisted by
couple of citizens, who took the in
ebriated man as far as the wharf and
laid him down. Two Of the other mem
bers of the party picked up McGavin
and proceeded to cross the gang-plank |
A moment later and McGavin and
Hegeman had dropped overheard.
The alarm was given quickly, and
Capt, McCaulay, who had remained up
for the purpose of ascertaining how his |
men were conducting themselves ashore, !
had one of the boats ready to lower in
minutes time. He also had number
of lines thrown to the men in the water,
but without avail.
One of the crew went over the side
with a line and endeavored to render
assistance, but was unable to accom-
plish anything; while others were forci-
bly, restrained from jumping overheard
to help their unfortunate fellow-seamen.
McGavin was a native of Scotland and
Hageman hailed from Holland. Both
were single. Capt. McCaulay, who is
very popular with the crew, was deep
ly moved by the affair.

Days at Least.
TESTIMONY UNFIT TO PUBLISH
Associated Press.

%A'SCNioNNN lNocs
Washington, March 2S.-The surprise
of the Notwithstanding case today
was the unexpected appearance of Miss
Pollard's old lover, Rankin Roselle, a
Kentucky schoolmaster. His deposition
had been read in the case, but to make
his testimony doubly sure he appeared
in person, and no sooner had he taken
the stand than Madeline Pollard glided
in, for the first time this week, from
the office of her attorney across the
street, where she was to be sent for
when her presence was desired. Prob
ably she will be in court tomorrow to
face her silver-haired accuser, for the
attorneys declare there will be positive
ly no longer postponements in the tes-
timony for the principal, and Col,
Breckenridge will take the stand in the
course of the day. Most of the testi-.
mony today was in the form of deposit
tions, and was of a character which can
only be published in expurgation. The
case for the defense is drawing to
close with the appearance of Col. Breck-
enridge, whose testimony is expected to
occupy at least three days Then there
will be evidence in rebuttal for an in
definite period, as Miss Pollord will take
the stand again, and witnesses have
heen summoned from Kentucky.

The Rumored designations From the
Central Pacific Directorate
San Francisco, March 2S,-Charles f.
Crocker, first vice-president of the
Southern Pacific was seen today re-
garding the resignation of c. p. Hunt
ington, H. e. Huntington and himself
from the directorate of the Central Pa
cific. There is no great significance to
be attached to the matter" said he.
"There is no sensation in it, and no sur
prising developments may be expected
So far as l know, none of the stock
holders are dissatisfied. If there are
any dissatisfied ones, they may be heard
from at the annual meeting, which
takes place April 16." Mr.. Crocker de-
clined to enter into any further expla-
nation of the matter, intimating, how
ever that the change is only a tenn
porary one.

that If the government does not accept
the present bill before congress post
poning the time of payment of the Cen
tral Pacific debt or extend the time of
payment of the bonds to reasonable
period, the probability is that the first
mortgage bondholders will take the
road. If, on the other hand, he said,
reasonable time Is given to meet the
obligations and the proposed new issue
Of bonds is made, the government will
receive every dollar due inside Of so
