An Enterprislng BarrIster.

Lord Chelmsford relates that friend
of his at the bar was once engaged in a
nautical case, in which it appeared that
a vessel had been exposed to a very Sc
we're gale of wind and had been thrown
upon her beam ends. The barrister, ig-
norant of nautical matters, asked a sea-
man who was in the witness box how it
was they did not lower the topmast,
upon which the witness said with a
sneer "If you knew as much Of the sea
as do, you would know that this is not
a very easy matter. " This incident led
the counsel to turn his attention to the
subject, and he invented All apparatus
for lowering topmasts, for which he OBJ
tanned q patent and realized thereby up
ward of 500, 900 by this invention. -

ABSOLUTELY PURE
s.REsOURCEs WHICH DEFY CoMPETI.
TION.

The Kansas City Daily Times,
commenting upon some facts
given in recent issues of the
Southern States magazine aud
the Manufacturers Record, says:
The Southern farmer, who, at
the close of the war, found his
open lands mostly grown up in
young forest and his labor
system utterly demoralized and
upset, while he was literally
compelled to turn his sword into
ploughshare, and to use his
horse, which had borne him
through hundred battles, for
the spring ploughing, these
brave hearts and sturdy tillers of
the soil have come through the
slough of despond, and are now,
for the first time in this genera
ton, beginning to enjoy the
fruits of their labor, and to eat
the bread Of independence, the
sweetness of it unsroiled by the
dark shadow Of the Damocles
sword of mortgage hanging over
the farm. Including wheat, corn
and oats, the estimated total
grain crop for the Southern
States amounted in 1895 10 no.
900, 900 bushels. Altogether the
Southern States, which do not,
as some persons suppose, lie un-
der the broiling sun of the trop-
les, but which comprise the most
truly temperate zone Of the
United States. are not only pros>
pering nightly through the de
velopment Of their mining and
manufacturing resources, which
defy competition in many res
poets with the most favored sec~
tions of the globe. but are taking
the proud position which the
matchless fertility of the soil
justifes, and are fast becoming a
promised land, overfowing with
milk and honey. with happy
people of pure Anglo Saxon
blood to enjoy the fairness there
of. Where agriculture prospers
there is happy people. for all
other interests depends upon the
tiller of the soil.
TIE future of this favored land
is bright beyond the power of
words to describe. Here is to be
the scene of vast activities which
will create wealt b little dreamed
of now.
It only needs little more hus-
tie, a little more untiring energy,
to hasten this day of prosperity.
Are you doing your full share?
may well be asked of every
Southern man.

W ashington News.

Washington, March 13.-The
President is known to be giving
much attention to the situation i'll
nothing definite has yet been the
outcome of his consideration.
Rumors that an investigating g
commission or an army officer
had been or will be sent to Cuba,
do not find coroboration among
we'll informed officials. Several
army officers have applied for
leave Of absence with permis-
sion to go to Cuba, but in each Of
these cases the permission asked
for was refused. While it is not
believed at the War Department
that any of the officers who
made such application desire to
take part III the present hosti1i~
ties, it was deemed best to keep
them away from Havana. There
were several reasons for this. It
was thought that the Spanish
Government was suspiciousof the
presence Of the us. army officers
in the disturbed section, and it
was feared that the feeling
against this country might lead
to incidents in which these army
officers might be involved that
would be decidedly embarrassing to
the governments at Washington
and Madrid 1t is obviously i'm.
possible that any American army
officer could have visited Cuba
under present conditions without
his presence being promptly re-
ported. In this connection it is
learned that permission to go to
Bern uda and other British for
tilted posts near the United States
coast has been refused to United
States army officers since Mr..
lCleveland's Venezuelan message
was sent to congress. American
officers might be held in distrust
OF persons seeking information
about the British fortifcations,
and the War Department did not
propose to take any chances.

A NOVEL INCIDENT.

The postoffice authorities at
Washington, says a despatch
from that city last week, stops
ped and confscated lot of mail
matter addressed to Senators
and Representatives because the
envelopes bore in conspicuous
type the legend, &C. P. Hunt
1ngton would not steal a red hot
stove"
1t is not easy to see why the
postoffice refused to deliver mat
ter with that inscription, which,
on the face of it, is compliment
ary rather than otherwise. That
the great railroad king should
not be tempted to possess him
self unlawfully of such uncom-
Portable booty is quite conceiv-
able.
If the sender Of the missives
had said that Mr.. Huntington
would steal red-hot stove, that
would have been libellous.
There are men on the Pacific
Slope who would steal anything
from a railroad to rat trap; and
the luxnriant growth of Apaism
in San Francisco indicates a con-
dition in which even au incan-
descent stove would not be safe
in the company of living mem
Der of the order To a dead one
it would be wholly superfuous
possession.

PRIVATEERS IN WAR.
Baifour Does Not Believe Spain
Would Resorr to Them-Rights
of a Neutral Flag.
London, NJ arch II

T. G.. Bowles, Conservative
member for Kings Lynn, asked
the government, in the House o.
Commons to day, it notice hac
been taken Of the statements ir
the Spanish press That IN the
event Of war between Spain ans
the United States Spanish pri>
vateers would prey upon Ameri
can commerce, and whether, i'll
view Of the CON plications and
injuries British trade would suf
fer from such an event or in the
case of war between Great Brit
ain and a country which had not
acceded OF the declaration OF
Paris, the government would
consider the whole effects of the
declaration of Paris and the ad-
visibility of Great Britain with
drawing therefrom.
The First Lord of the Treas
ury, A J. Balfour, in reply said
that the government does not
question Spain's right in the
matter; but, in view of the fact
that no privateers have been US
ed in any war since 1856, even by
the powers not acceding to the
declaration of Paris. and that the
doctrine that neutral flag Gov
ers enemies goods, except con
traband OF war, has been gener-
ally accepted during recent
years, 1t may be doubted if Spain
would actually resort to such
measures.
BALFOUR IS RETICENT.
Regarding the latter part OF
Mr.. Bowle's question, Mr.. Bal
four said that while fully admit
ting that the eventuality men>
toned might have an important
bearing upon the interests Of
neutral countries, he did not
think anything would be gained
by an expression of opinion upon
the part Of the government on a
hypothetical case.
This answer, however, did not
satisfy Mr. Bowles, and he press
ed Mr.. Balfour for mole ex
plicit reply, whereupon the First
Lord of the Treasury said that
an expression Of opinion at the
present moment might be mex
pedient. He had consulted with
the admiralty and his colleagues
on the subject and believed be
was correct in saying there had
been a general acceptance by all
the powers. though not as a for
NAL treaty, that a neutral flag
covers enemies goods, except
contraband Of war.
the Under Secretary for the
War Office, Mr.. St John Brod-
erick, answering an inquiry, said
the War Office had no news of
any English militia officers havs
ing volunteered their services to
Spain in case of war with the
United States. He added that
any officers taking such a step
would be liable to the penalties
of the foreign enlistment act.

Washington Democrats Meet.

Washington, March 12.-The
District Democracy held it's con
vention to>day to select deles
gates to the National Convens
ton at Chicago. A ''combine"
slate was fixed up. embracing
delegates from the several sec
tions of the city, and despite
many vigorous efforts to break
it, went through with the ex-
ception of Edwin Forrest. who
was beaten by George Killeen
by three votes.
The platform indorsed the ad-
ministration of Grover CIeve-
land, particularly the bold stand
taken on the Venezuelan ques-
tiou, the enunciatioL of the Mon
roe doctrine being declared a
correct Interpretation of true
Americanism, expressed sympa
thy for those engaged in the bat>
tie for freedom in the Island OF
Cuba and cordially endorse the
expression Of that sympathy
contained in the joint resolutions
of the Senate and House.
The plank contained in the
National Democratic platform OF
1856, and directed against the
Know Nothing party of that
day, was put in the resolutions.
This declared that a political
crusade in the nineteenth cen
tury against Catholic and for
eign born citizens is contrary to
the genius of our institutions
and cannot be too severely con-
demned. The Endorsement OF
the administration was received
with mingled cheers and Kisses
and evoked a hot anti Cleveland
speechH from Ex-Congressman
Turner, who has been practicing
law here since his retirement
from active participation in
Tammany Hall affairs,
