PRIVATE JOHN ALIENS LATEST.
He Thinks the Democrats had Better
Hustle Around for More Followers Be
fore Selecting Leaders.
Washin gton Post.l

Private John Allen. of Mississippi.
made a speech in the Democratic caucus
the other day that, from all reports, was
rich, rare, and racy. 1t was delivered
just prior to the balloting for the honor
of being named as leader of the minority
in the present House. No stenOgraphers
were present in the caucus, and the uni
que beauty of this oratorical gem, as
it has been described by one of the ap-
preciative members present has been lost
to the world. If Private Allen will par
don the lack of literary adornment, The
Post will reproduce his unequaled effort
as 1T comes to it second hand:
You may get up here and talk about
your leaders," said Mr.. Allen, land you
may vote for this man and that man for
your leader, but I want to call your at
tention to the fact that leaders are not
elected, but born AS l look around upon
this noble assemblage, | see a great
many faces before me, of men who would
unquestionably make great leaders. And,
perhaps, it may be impairment for me
to suggest it, but 1 think we ought not
to be in too big hurry to choose a
leader until we hustle around and get
together a few more of us for the leader
to lead.
SITS all very we'll to be trying to get
a mortgage on the Speakership, which
can be foreclosed in the next Congress,
but suppose it happens that there is
nothing to foreclose on then, what good
will it do the man who holds the mort
gage? There were great many great
leaders i'm various parts of the country
during the last campaign, but as I look
around me, there are many of them whom
l do not see here now, and while we are
counting on the victories which we are
to win two years from now, it may be
possible that there may be some of us
who will not be here then"

BUYING GOLD @ BRICKS.
GErom the Fayetteville Observerl

(From the Fayetteville Observer
There is a pretty well authenticated
! rumor in Jonesboro that one of its
| wealthy citizens has had the gold brick
trick played upon him successfully. The
rumOr is as follows:
About March LIST a stranger appeared
in JonesbOro n. c., and as soon as posi-
| BILE sought an interview of Sion H. Buch-
| anan, the banker and one of the leading
men politically of the place. He stated
that he was a miner from Arizona and
owned a valuable gold mine in that State;
that his former partner was Il man
named Andrew Buchanan, who had died,
but that said Buchanan had so often
spoken of his uncle Sion Buchanan that
he had made it his business TO find him.
That he had heard that there was man
in JonesborO who signed himself s. III.
Buchanan and he was induced TO be-
lieve that he was the veritable Sion.
His familiarity with the Buchanans.
and his oily tongue soon made an i'm
preston on Sion. and the stranger in con-
iidence produced small bricks Of gold to
prove that the story of his wealth and
wonderful mine was true. The tale he
told seemed reasonable enough; the gold
was tested and proved to be pure, and
so after much inducing Mr. Buchanan
was prevailed upon to accompany this
miner to Norfolk to consult with his part
ner in regard to forming a business con-
nectiOn. There again gold bricks were
shown and subjected to tests. They were
all right, and Mr. Buchanan was made
one of the partners of the concern, but for
pretty good consideration; but to steady
his nerves two large gold bricks were
given him to prove that all was fair.
These bricks weighed 20 and so pounds
and We're estimated to be worth $4,000.
So s. H., returned happy; he was rich
for a very small consideration, some say
for the very small sum of $500.
He told the tale in confidence and wish
ed his friend to rejoice with him in his
great streak of good fortune, but his
friend was not as sanguine and advised
wonderful hokus-pokus, tourned to brass,
and Mr.. s. III. found out that he had been
feeced
The above is in the mouths of all the
Jonesboro people, but Mr.. B., is as dumb
as an oyster and declares it all fake
but he had the bricks and it is true that
he went to Norfolk with this typical
Western man, and the story has strong
foundation.
We write this that others may be ON
their guard against these swindlers who
have often played the gave even on other
bankers.

FRIDAY,

Bishop Turner, of Georgia, will be
sorry for his devilsh advice if some of
his ignorant followers should take 1T.
There is no punishment too severe for
lynchers, and North Carolina has 4
stringent Iaw-thanks to Cyrus Il. Wat
son. the Democratic nominee for Gov
ernor. "Get guns, negroes" is as in
famous advice as was contained in the
hellish address issued by the North
Carolina Republicans in 1868. 1t is ali
the more surprising because Bishop
Turner has been regarded as safe man.
Why don't he advise his race to get guns
to help his race in Cuba; or, if not to get
guns. at least TO show some mark OF
sympathy: The blacks. with one ex-
ception, seem TO have been unmoved dur
ing all the cry of distress from the ne
groes in Cuba.

DIDN'T CONVINCE GOVERNOR.
\ Good Story That the Private Secretary
Kept From the Raleigh Papers

"Tattler' gives the following good sto-
ry that the Raleigh papers failed to get
Mt the time. 1t is such good scoop
that we reproduce it:
They are telling a good one just now
on a would-be office-holder from the west
ern part of the State who went down to
Raleigh TO press in person his claims to
the bit of pie he sought. 1t happened that
he was rather of a bibulous tendency,
and report of it had reached the ears
of Daniel the Gar. The would-be office
holder went to show the Governor that
what he heard was a base falsehood.
Arriving at Raleigh he fell i'll with pol
ly party of kindred spirits and some kim
dred spirits went galloping down his
throat He was feeling too good for
anything, but he remembered his mission
and called on the Governor. Securing an
audience. he moved with an osclllatlng
motion toward the executive with adj
vance information something like this:
"QIic) 'scue me, Gov (hic) nor, unner-
stan (hic) you been told I'm drink Chic)
ing man. s all lie, sir, s all lie-never
Chic) took drop n my life (hic)-" But
he became too full for utterance-and
he came away without his job Least
wise that's the story comes to Ashe-
ville.'

INGALLS, DEBASES HIS TALENTS.

! The spectacle of am eX-United States
Senator reporting a prize fight for a New
York paper is not edifying. If Mr.. IN
CALLS is so hard up that he cannot make
a living from his profession without writ
ing sensational stuff let him write 1t.
There is no sin in it. But his presence
| rs the special correspondent of the New
York Journal, side by side with John
l.. Sullivan as the special correspondent
Of the New York World, does not COM
port with his reputation. 1t is notorious
that Sullivan was not chosen to write, for
if is doubtful whether he could write
a grammatical sentence. He was not en-
ployed to write, but to give modern
Journalism a new sensation. Brains
have surely given place to Drawn when
John l.. Sullivan lis on the staff of u
great paper OF course he will write
nothing If he did, his Tommyrot would
have to be severely edited.
For Mr.. ingalls, to become the associate
of this slugger, leave his home and his
intellectual pursuits to actively engage in
lauding the merits of a pair of jackals,
is such a perversion of his talents as to
shock and disgust thoughtful men and
women. He evidently feels the anomaly
of his position, for he makes defense
of his undertaking the work that is as
ingenious as it is plausible. Here is his
argument in defense of his position as the
purveyor of meretricious news:
Il suppose if had gone into the hos
pital for political incurables after my
defeat, and hung around Washington
haunting the White House and the de-
partments, importuning friends for in
dorsements and begging for some place
at home or abroad, where / could have
been supported from the public treasury,
my course would have been considered
as dignifed and in strict accordance with
usage and precedent.
Like everybody else in these hard
times, / have suffered heavy losses in
shrinkage of values and diminished in
come and am compelled to earn my liv-
ing by daily toll.
II am grateful for the opportunity of
getting my bread by reputable employ
nrent upon the lyceum platform, and in
journalism, which affords reasonable
compensation with no sacrifice of personal
independence. Employment in the pub
lie service is open to me, but | prefer
freedom, even when accompanied by the
fatigue of long journeys and the hard
ships and privation of travel, to the bond
age and servitude of any position from
the people
Benjamin Harrison writes for the
Ladies' Home Journal, and l can con-
ceive of no imporpriety of my writing
for the New York Journal or any other
periodical upon any subject of human
interest that does not require the sale
of my opinion or the sacrifice of my in
diyidual Judgment"

The Southern Republicans are engaged
In the usual iy-blowing process of prov
ing each other grand rascals. 1t is delay
ing Southern appointments. The Star
says:
THE Southern Republicans. it is said
are very widely divided. The President
has felt himself called upon, it is claim
ed, TO utter some pretty strong language
about the Southern appointments and to
insist that the factions reconcile their diff
feences before bothering him with any
more applications
He will be bothered till his term ex-
pires. The chief characteristic of the
average Southern Republican politician
is his capacity as blue-bottle fly and
as mud-slinger. Mckinley will learn
this to his sorrow, as did Grant, Hayes.
Garfield, Arthur and Harrison.

Yesterday while the Tariff Bill was be-
ing considered in committee, McLaur1n,
of South Carolina, proposed an amend
ment of 21a cents a pound ON importations
of cotton The Republicans voted solid
ly against it. Wheeler, of Alabama,
proposed an amendment to take
off the duty on cotton ties and cotton
bagging leaving them on the free list as
formerly. The Republicans voted solid
~ against it. They are unanimously
willing to make the Southern cotton
planter pay more for bagging and ties,
but are unwilling to protect" his cotton.
Mr.. McLaurin explained that last year
there were imported into this country
100000 pounds of cotton from fifteen
different countries.

The only defense the Republicans made
for spending 1851 to send the Governor S
staff to Washington, ID. c., to have a
junketing trip to, the inauguration is
that the Democrats spent more than that
at the Worlds Fair. 1t will be remem-
bered that the State appropriated a large
sum to make an exhibit at the Worlds
Fair, and that the Governors staff at
tended on North Carolina Day. But a
great row was raised by Republicans
and Populists about that, and reform
was promised. Attention is called to the
present expenditure merely to show that
the criticism Of Democratic action was
not sincere.

President Mckinley prepared what he
thought was plain sailing for himself
when he insisted that in making applica-
ton for appointment the State delega-
tons shall first agree among themselves
upon candidates before presenting their
claims to him. He didn't seem to antici-
pate that the factions and jealousies
among members from the same State
would make it impossible for his condi-
ton to be complied with. In some States
the members are personal enemies and
will not pull together. On the whole, it
looks like the Democrats will stay in if
the President insists upon agreement
between Congressman before making APP
pointments.
