He Finally Gives up and Hon. Newton B1an-
chard succeeds Him.

New Orleans, La, March 7.-(Special.) y
Governor Foster received today the resigna-
ton of Hon. T.. d. White, as United States
senator from Louisiana, to take effect Mon
day, March 18th. The governor at once
accepted the resignation and appointed Hon.
Newton c. Blanchard, representative from
the fourth district, senator
There has been a great deal of fencing
over the senatorship for the past few
weeks. since Mr.. Cleveland appointed Sena-
tor White an associate justice of the United
States supreme court. Mr.. White showed a
great unWilingnesS to resign his senator
ship until he could get assurance that mis-
successor would be a man who would sup
port the cause of Il sugar duty. Mr.. Blan-
chard seemed particularly Objectionable to
him personally, as the representative voted
for the Wilson bill in the house and diff
tered with him on the silver question. Mr..
Blanchard was also an ant-admnistration
man, whereas Mr.. White is a strong sup
porter of President Cleveland.
White Was Reluctant to Resign.

REFORMERS ARE BUSY.
They Are Selecting Delegates to the
Columbia Convention.

Columbia, S. c., March 7.-(Specfal)-The
reform campaign is now on and April 4th
has been practically decided upon as the
day for the big conference of representa-
tiyes from all the counties to be held in
this city. Every day additional counties are
falling into line. Already about ten coun-
ties have called meetings at which these
representatives are to be selected. 1t is
now apparent that this will bring on the
real campaign at once, and the candidates
may be relied upon to do the scufiling
around between now and April 4th The al
lance reformers are making the biggest
kind of fight to see that this conference
calls d convention to place before the
people a candidate of the reform party.

CHARGE AGAINST THE KoLBrTEs.
That They Agreed to Cast Their E1ec-
toraI Vote for Harrison.

Birmingham, Ala, March 9.-The biggest
sensation of the Alabama campaign has
just been sprung. Some time ago The AL
lance Herald, the official organ of the
kolbites, began warfare upon Ben Dele
mos, secretary of the state republican cam
paign committee
In reply Delemos published a card in
several democratic papers, threatening to
make public the vouchers which would show
that money was paid through him from the
national republican committee, two years
ago, to certain Kolbite and populist leaders,
whereby the Weaver electoral ticket, which
was supported by these parties, if elected,
was to vote for Harrison if Alabamas vote
was needed to insure Harrisons election.
The Alliance Herald bitterly denied this
charge. Now The Greenville Living Truth.
a straightout populist paper edited by j.
NJ. Whitehead, probate judge of Butler
county, who was on the Weaver electoral
ticket, but who has since given kOlb the
shake, the result of break between him
and the Kolbites, comes out with a lengthy
publication exposing the deals. Among
other things. it says:
"NoW, it happens that the editor of this
paper was one of the electors of the state
al large, and he desires nothing but the
truth. Ben Delemos has told the truth, and
The Alliance Herald is sngularly ignorant
If it does not know it. After the LakeView
convention the Kolbite electors were sum-
moned to birmingham by Colonel Z. G.
Bowman, chairman of the Kolb committee.
Most of them responded, and at Birming
ham, in Colonel Bowmans office, in the
presence of Captain koIb, the electors did
sign an agreement that had been written
out By Colonel Bowman, OF under his di-
rection, and presented to them by him, by
which they obligated themselves in writing
to vote for Harrison in the electoral col
lege if it should be apparent at the time
that Weaver could not be elected
THE editor of the paper signed it volun-
tarily as one of the electors"

An Alleged scheme.

Birmingham, Ala. March 7.-(Spec1al)-
The Peoples Advocate claims to have I'M
earthed great political scheme its prime
object being to defeat Senators Morgan ana
Pugh and fill their places with Secretary
Herbert and Congressman Oates, both
strong administration men. Money was to
be freely used and the administra ton was
to lend it's helping hand. The combination.
as The Advocate claimed to have 1t, was
to work as follows: Judge richardson, or
Huntsville, was to withdraw from the race
for governor and throw his strength to
Oates, who was to be nominated by falr
means or foul and counted in II necessary.
A majority of the legislature was to be
counted in, who could be controlled by the
administration. These should elect Herbert
in the place of Morgan. After serving one
term as governor Oates was to withdraw
and throw his influence to Richardson, who
in turn was to help Oates defeat Pugh,
Alabama'S junior senator
The Advocate claims that prominent
organized democrat explained the scheme.
Commenting on it The Advocate says:
The withdrawal of Judge Richardson and
the flop of The Huntsville Mercury to
Oates in the last few days, looks as If a
part of it were true at least. 1t now re-
mains for the voters of Alabama to say
whether or not these schemes will be al
lowed to relegate such men as Johnston.
Morgan, PuGh, benson and others to the
rear in Alabama politics for other sin
than that of standing by the pledges they
made the people"
The Advocates sensation Is given for
what it is worth.

JOHNSTON'S POSITION.
He Declares that Every Pledge Should be
Redeemed,

Birmingham, Ala, March 4.-(Special)-
The friends of Colonel Oates and Mr. Rich
are making political capital out of the
charge that Joseph f. Johnston, BirmiEg
hams candidate for the democratic nominal
ton for governor is assaulting the federal
administration. The fact that Captain
Johnston is not in accord with the views
of Mr.. Cleveland on some of the important
issues has furnished what foundation the
charges have had in fact.
Captain johnston in a speech at Roanoke,
Ala, last Friday stated his position in this
matter follows
THE charge that I attacking the adj
ninstration is without excuse or justitca-'
tion
1T is we'll known that Mr.. Cleveland's
position on the money question was d great
disappointment to me. L had hoped that
he would carry out the platform dts inter-
preted by our speakers and papers before
the election, and recommend legislation
that would give US the coinage of silver on
equal terms with gold and the repeal OF the
10 per cent tax.
and before any legislation was had eX-
pressed my views on this question, as l

any democrat should make war on the
president any other faithful official OF
the party We should do everything in our
power to sustain every department of our
government in every effort to carry out
the pledges we made the people. The party
in Alabama should commend every step al
ready taken to carry out the pledges of the
platform and urge congress and the presi-
dent to go on with the good work until
every pledge shall have been honestly and

PRACTICAL PHILANTHROPY.

Youth at Hanover.
A novelty in practical philanthropy
is described by w. G. Fox, formerly
consul to brunswick, Germany, who
has just returned to Washington.
During my visit To Hanover" said
Mr.. Foxin the course of a recent CONVEX

Simon is the American vice consul at
Hanover, whcrc he Il also a prominent
banker. Those who have knowledge
OF the situation in Russia and Germany
to-day fully understand that one OF the
chief causes OF the anti-Semitic move
mcnts in those countries is that the
jews are solely dcalers and traders,
This is because children naturally ac-
quire taste for and follow the occu-
patton of their parents and other rela-
lives.
Mr. Simon told me >" continued Mr..
Fox, "that in his visits 10 the United
States in 1852 and 1890 he remarked
the distressing conditions OF the jew
ish immigrants, arising mainly from
the fact that they We're unable To per
form such worl, as they could obtain
from labor, Knowing no mechanical
trade, they were OF necessity driven to
peddling. Mr.. simon some time ago,

Progressive Development In the Art OF
~ JcmakinR.
Tho boot and shoe exhibit at the
worlds fair leads one to view with
alarm the prospective fate of the
human pedals, says the Minneapolis
Tribune. The wild variety OF in
genious shapes exhibited in shoes dis
closes the fact that the human foot in
modern times has ceased to have a
shape Of its own. IL ia putty,.in the
hands of the ingenious artist. In
short the foot, as TO shape and size. is
purely a shoemaker's product. II,
therefore, we want to know what the
foot Of the future is TO be we must
study the trend of the cobbler's art
In spite of the fearful variety of
shapes and Dimensions exhibited in the
worlds fair shoe exhibit, there are
certain tendencies of the shocmaking
art that are. clearly marked and show
progressive development. Between the
shocpacls and plowshoc on the one
land and the patent leather ball
room slipper on the other there Is a
broad variation in tho shape and di-
mensions which the human foot must
attumc, and yet there are one or two
principlcs which apply more on less in
common to all of the widely differenl
tiatcd styles.
I The one principle which stands out
most prominently in all the schools of
the shocf.al<ing art is this; That there
Is bat one recognized toe on the human
! foot The other excrescences are not
to be counteuanccd or tolerated. The
] definition approved by all shoe mo-
distcs is that the human foot is n varia-
| bic aggregation consisting of four
I part heel, the instep, the ball
! and the great toe. The latest aud gem
( orally adopted canon relative to the
proper shape Of the front part. of the
I shoe IA that IL should consist OF a
straight limo drawn from the outer
! edge OF the ball of the foot TO the tip
I of the great toe. II IL true there are
many styles of shoes that do not con.
form RICHLY TO the canon, but the variA
atiOuH are permitted simply on aesthetic
grounds To secure variety, and not at
an that not more than one Toe Is recog-
niscd
There is said To be only one shoe in
the worlds fair exhibit which distinct
ly recognizes and countcnances five
toes on the human foot. aud that is the
wooden shoe from Belgium. That shoe.
which allots five compartments OF
space TO the toe family, is the excep-
ton which proves the rule-namely.
