REPUBLICAN MATTERS.
Quincy Has Set On Foot A Quiet
Boom For Allison.
Special to The HERALD.

OpeClal 10 iHE III ERALD.
San Antonio, Tex, Jan. 23.-The
Austin correspondence of the Ex-
press today says:
"When the Express reached here
containing an account of the secret
meeting in this city yesterday by
colored republican leaders, it Great
ed considerable comment among sew
eral white republican leaders, who
had not heard of the meeting and
the action to support Allison for
president. Some seem to think the
Ellison movement is really in the
inteEa-pF2e,tf Harrison and if the state
Is carried for the former. after he
Il given Is ballot or two in the nat
ional convention, the vote viii 60
to Harrison. Ii S evident the white
republicans of Texas will oppose
Harrison because he recognized
Quincy as leader of the party in Tex
as, but they have just cause to fight
Allison, and this Quincy knows. Be
fore Quincy went to Washington a
short time since it was pretty gen
orally understood that he favored
Harrison, but on his return he an
nounced publicly that he aas for
Allison, and thereby hangs taie.t
The fact that no white republican
was permitted to participate in the
proceedings of yesterdays secret
conclaye, is pretty good indication
that Quincy is marshalling the color
ed portion of hi. party in Texas to
meet the McKinley-Reed boom
started by the white portion. Since
he proclaimed for Allison, number
of white republican leaders who
were in the habit of talking McKin-
leyism or Reedism are laying low
and Keeping their eye on the colored
man. They are also alarmed at the
intention of Yesterdays conclave to
work the Allison move on he quiet"

Special to The HERALD.
London, Jan. 22.-The Chronicle,
with reference to the Venezuelan
question congratulates the Times on
the candor which has led it into the
rational path that the two countries
are now pursuing. The Chronicle
then proceeds: "Only don't let Us
deceive ourselves. 1t is very pleas
ant to read such speeches as Senator
Wolcott's, but America is absolutely
solid for arbitration over Venezuela,
and arbitration we cannot and will
not refuse"
The Graphic, commenting upon
the welcome change in the official
attitude OF America, thinks that:
Owe cannot Join the ccmmjsaion, s.
but it is not too late for America to
urge Venezuela to accept our offer
OF arbitration. If it went agains' us,
we might then agree to arbitration
of the Schomburg line"

The Occident knows no such terrors
as that which now stares India in the
face. We in Kansas live in an agricul-
tural district subject to occasional
drouths, believing ourselves sometimes
to be the victims of a especial sister de-
sign on the part of fate, but we can not
even summon in Imagination a proper
picture of the horrors of an Indian fam
iue.
In the dread condition Of India, we
can see how miserable human beings
can be. We can also see the high itel-
leetual and social superiority we possess
the very possession of which shields us
from such horrors
Famine Kansas has never known.
Our corn is never total failure; our
wheat is only occasionally short, and is
most always in superabundanee. No
blizzard ever wiped out all our meat.
Kansas in area is only a drop in the
bucket compared to the stricken dis
tricts Of India The Indian famine now
threatened is a CHASTITY thing. Some no.
ton OF what this vast tragedy upon
which the curtain is rising viii mean to
the race can be gathered from former
Indian famines. Between 1860 and 1878
there were seven famines, in which at
least 12,O00,O00 persons perished. In
1S76-7S 3,5OO,OO0 were starved to death
or destroyed by diseases consequent
upon deprivation in the presidency Of
Madras. In the province of Rajputana
alone in 1S6s-69 100000 lives were
lost. The great famine of 1S76-7S anni-
hilated 100000 wretched natives In
Mysore, one-fourth of the population.
Sir Lepel Griffin, commenting on the
foreshadowed calamity, says: Famine
is the reply of nature to early marriage
and an increase Of twenty millions OF
population in ten years. The food sup
ply overtakes the population; drought
occurs, and there is no sufficient sur
plus of grain in the country. Until In
dia abandons her inhuman superstition
that every female child must be married
at about II years Of age and accepts
those prudential reasons against early
maria sc which govern the conduct Of
all reasonable people, nature will, from
time to time, reply to their folly by fam
inc, cholera and epidemic disease"

representative members. And we may
be sure that such representative mem,
bers would not allow 1t to escape discus
| sion and action.
Another suggestion is that Russia be
given free hand to do as she may
please with Turkey, in consideration
that there shall be no interference with
England's hold on Egypt. But here
comes strange apparent change of pur
pose on the part of Russia. From the
time of Peter the Great she has been
supposed to have q fixed design TO ae-
quire Turkey and to establish the capi-
tai Of the czars at Constantinople. Now
however, she seems coy and Indifferent.
What is the explanation of this change:
It is said that her vast undertaking in
the far east and her contact with
China and the decadent states Of the
Orient now occupy all her attention and
are likely to give play to all her ener-
gies. Meanwhile she observes that Tur-
key is fastening to her fall; and she
knows that when the hour shall arrive
her opportunity will come also. There
is no need of acceleratiOn, no necessity
of complications by entering into prior
engagements with any one of the Euro
pean states. Her population is increas-
ing, her strength growing and develop
ing with marvellous momentum; she can
wait. Time and all the forces Of nature
are working in her favor. She is a
colossus, and all the signs in the polit-
ical horoscope indicate that she will ulti-
mately bestride the eastern world
Lord Beaconsfield may have achieved
q personal triumph in the negotiation of
the Berlin treaty; but it was an ill day
for England when that compact was
signed. Indeed, none Of Lord Beacons-
fields personal triumphs and echieve-
ments wrought any good to the country
he served. He was an actor, had great
felicity of expression, and was an ora
tor of great power. He possessed, too,
many endearing qualities, and won the
warm attachment of many friends; but,
after all, one cannot resist the conclu-
sion that in the field Of craftsmanship
he was a charlatan.

MORTON'S LAST REPORT.

Secretary Morton has issued his an
nual agricultural report. The report
concludes with q comprehensive review
of the condition of American farmers.
Seventy-two per cent Of the farms in
the United States occupied by their
owners, the secretary says, are absolute
ly free from mortgages or other incum-
brances. The secretary refutes the idea
prevailing that the farms of the west
and south are more heavily burdened
with mortgages than those Of the east
and northeast. States along the North
Atlantic, he says, are quite heavily in
numbered with farm mortgages, and
New Jersey carries debt Of this kind
greater in proportion TO its farm valua-
tons than any state in the Union.
The frequent claim that the farmers
are almost universally in debt, despOnd-
ent and suffering, he declares 10 be
without any foundation, a belittlement
of agriculture and an indigniry to every
intelligent and practical farmer. LEG
islation.- he said. "can neither plow nor
plant The intelligent, practical and
successful farmer needs no aid from the
government. The ignorant, impractical
and indolent farmer deserves none 1t
Is not the business Of the government TO
legislare in behalf OF any class Of citi-
zens because they are engaged In any
specific calling. no matter how essential
the calling may be to the needs and
comforts OF civilization Lawmakers
cannot erase natural laws nor restrict
or efface the operation Of economic
laws
Referring to the stress Of competition
which the American farmer Is coznpell-
ed to endure. Mr.. Morton calls attention
to the nearly 100000 of farms Of -
acres each given away by the govern
ment under the homestead act OF 1856
during the past thirty years, and TO the
amount donated under the fimber-cul-
ture act. equivalent 10 over 5SpoD
