AN APPEAL TO THE SOUTH.
Showing What Might Result If the
Blacks Should Get Control.

ANSAS DAAONAO 00b NOAbAOA%
Senator Smith, of New Jersey, demo
crat, in his speech against the income tax
a day or two ago, inquired of the south
ern senators how they liked a picture
which he drew He said:
Suppose the colorodt voters of Missis-
slppl or Alabama or any other state were
IN majority in that state. Suppose they
should elect a governor and a majority of
both houses Of the legislature. Suppose
they should then say:
The whites are rich, We are poor. They
are more fortunate than we. They were born
INTO freedom, we into slavery. They are
blessed with the spirit OF energy, thrift and
+ iF1igaift5. are iad0ieTTt TFcttiaf by
nature. BY virtue of their superior gifts they
have secured possession of property and have
accumulated wealth. II is true that we were
idle while they were at work, but the fact re-
mains that they can afford TO hear the burden
OF government and we cannot. therefore,
we VIII tax the whites. We cannot tax them
because they are white so we will tax their
incomes. And we will fix the limit of exernp-
ton al such figure that ten of them will be
compelled to pay to one of us. 1t is lust and
right that wealth, which receives greater
benefit from government than povertv
should bear the burden But. right or wrong
1t shall. We are In the majority. We have
the power The industrious and prosperous
must pay the taxes Of the indolent and unsuc-
ceSSfuL
How, let me ask my friends from the
south, would you regard such a law as
that, Would you consider that might
makes right in that case as in this?
Would you uphold as just thevery method
which you now pronounce ideal? Would
you support the law? Would you de-
nounce your neighbor for evading it?
Would ycu scrupulously avoid evasion
yourselfl Would you cheerfully throw
open your account books and disclose the
condition of YOUR private affairs2 Would
you, [ say, receive the collector of such a
tax with obedience in your hearts
DO you understand now why we of the
east oppose this law And is it a proper
return for the help which we have given
to you in Kidding yourselves of oppression
to turn around at the first opportunity
and intlict upon US law so odious that
we cannot hope to make it seem endura-

the next national campaign resolves into
a contest between the republicans and
populists, who will be responsible for the

MS DEATH WARRANT READ.

The tumOr was treated and soon passed
away, but the pains returned, and the I'M
fortunate man noticed that he was be-
coming rigid. He thought he had a
peculiar form Of rheumatism and went to
a physician for a thorough examination,
When this was concluded the following
remarkable conversation took place;
We'll, doctor, it's only rheumatism
after all, isn't it?'
Shall tell you the plain truth ;" asked
the medical man.
Why, yes, of course"
"WeH MIR. Fletcher, your case is hone
less. Your disease will end in death
soon, and there is no known medicine on
earth that can cure it"
The sick man said nothing, but his face
was as white asdeath and beads of cold
perspiration stood out on his brow. The
doctor nerved himself and continued:
I'D best let you know the worst at
once. You won't suffer much at first.
These violent pains will soon subside. but
every day YOU will find Yourself
getting SITTER. First, the glands
throughout your body will be-
come hard. When you bend your limbs
too much it will seem like YOU are tear
ing your muscles After a while vour
muscles will become hardened, and your
limbs will feel much heavier than for
merlv. AT last you will have to keep
your bed.

remember. His recitation was his poem.
How they carried the news from Client
to AK" The cylinder recorued faith
fully the pauses of the poet-it all Was
so uncanny, if lifelike-"Oh, can't re-
member, l can't remember Then he'd
continue for a space then ''hum' and
"hdW, " then he broke down and laughed
merrily, and finally the cylinder recorded
cheers and handclapping. A crowd of
artlsts were surrounding the poet, and
the applause was led by Sir Frederick
Leighton.
Mr.. Edison, however, was still thinking
OF Gladstone. He he suddenly ex-
claimed, pointing TO the record of Glad
stones voice, he is the most marvellous
organism that has been produced by
nineteen centuries. The evolutiOus of
another 500 years, however. may make
such man common and the Wizard
looked at Col. Gouraud, but that gallant
warrior was not equal TO a reply. How
ever, the colonel turned on Gen. Boulan-
ger, the voice of the deceased French
celebrity being preceded by a few bars of
the march written in his honor. i al
ways like to hear that" said the general,
IN French, and then he followed with
some exquisite, if verbose, compliments,
and signed himself verbally, OF course)

retraito"
The cylinder was completed by few
words from the duchess dues, the
wealthy and high-born French woman
who is supposed to have found the money
for the Boulanger boom.
GREAT SCIENTIFIC PEERS.
Lord Armstrong, maker of great guns,
spoke next. Before speaking at the time
the record was taken his lordship ex-
amined every part of the phonograph and
yVpDt n his lFpaac. m lOnlr af .faY
tain portions. 1t was suggested that he
would fatigue himself and the man of
mighty sounding metal was equal
to the moment He at once spoke
into the photograph;
This is an instrument of science before
which any man may well kneel, Edison
smiled as it rolled out to him.
Then came Lord Kelvin (Sir William
ThompsonD, president of the royal society,
whom Edison regards as the head and
front Of scientific attainment of this cen
fury. In his Scotch dialect, his articula
ton bristling full OF the Scotch burr,
were the words, ''Of all the marvels l
have seer GEf5I heard the thing that
astonishes HE the most is the hardihOod
Edison showed in attempting to DO it."
LORD RaXleigh, seer etary of the royal
society. and another of the great scien-
tific lights, continued on the cylinder:
1t Edison had known as much about the
known laws of the science he would have
known that he couldn't do it''--which is
scientific epigram with a vengeance. 1t
may be added, however, that Lord Ray
leigh IS the first living authority on the
theory of sound, and the greatest ever
living, excepting, perhaps, Helmholtz.
The voices of a number of minor lights
in the worlds of everything concluded
the seance, and before farewells were
given it was agreed by Mr. Edison and
Col. GOUraud that their libraries of
voices should be amalgamated and left as
a hereditary trust to the eldest repre-
sentative of the Edison-Gouraud fami-
lies. Fauvel Gouraud, young intending
lawyer, about to graduate at Yale, was
told that he could draw up the necessary
papers.

There is a living man in this city who

GENERAL HOWARD RETIRES,

He Was the Commander of the Division of the East-Reached the Age Limit-sim-
 pie Farewell Ceremonies at Governors
 Island.
 New York. Nov. S.-An event of i'm portance to the officers and soldiers at Governors Island occurred at that military station to-day.
 At noon Major General O. o. Howard, who has for several years commanded the department of the east, with head quarters at Governors Island, retired from active service.
 He has reached the age limit of sixty-four, and the army regulations say that he must give way to younger men.
 The officers on duty at the island congregated in the big mess hall at noon, and there Major General Howard in a neat little speech, resigned his command and left the station tempo rarily in charge of his chief aide, Major W. w. Witherspoon.
 It was the intention to have all of the soldiers at muster give the general a send-off. but the rain prevented that. However, when General Howard left the big mess hall crowd of soldiers who were congregated about the can teen gave him three hearty cheers. The officers present at the general s farewell were Aides w. W. Wither- spoon, Charles T. Treat, c. H. Mac donald. <y'
 Colonel Samuel Brecht, Quartermas- ter General Sawtelle, Major c. B. Bar nett, inspector general; Colonel Volk- ner, Colonel Carey, Colonel Smith, Col onel Pennington, Colonel Barry and General Barrige comprised General Towards staff. Among the other officers present were: Lieutenant A. c. Bush, Major Hoff, and the Rev. MT. Goodwin of Trinity church, chaplain of the island. General Miles, who is now on duty in the west, will replace General How ard at Governors Island, while General Ruger will succeed him in the rank of major general. .
 General Howard will devote several months to travel, and will then settle down on three-quarters pay and con- tinue. his literary pursuits. He will also do some featuring throughout the country.
 Major General Howard was instruc' tor in mathematics at West Point wher the war broke out, and he resigned his position to take an active part in the fighting.
 He lost his right arm after two years of service, but, he practiced until ht could use proficiently either sword ol pen with his left hand. He has beer active in mission work on the east side during the last four years. ..

 A want of politeness Is disadvan- tage at St. Petersburg.

Two young officers of the guard recently entered, had lunch together, and after paying their bill both went out. They had, however, on ly proceeded short distance when one of them missed his pocketbook, and thinking that he might have left it in the store where he and his friend had lunched, returned and asked politely if any one had seen it. The proprietor himself Ia milltonaire) came on the scene. and giving expression to some objectionable remarks. said that 1t might well be doubted whether the young officer possessed such an article as pocketbook. The officer con- plained, to the police. and ultimately the matter reached the prefect, who, re- garding it an insult to the Imperial uni- form, caused the restaurant to be at once locked up, the doors scaled and prohibits the proprietor from ioriger ca tering to the public taste. x
