Brother Jones, Heroic Remedy.

1t was Ben Butler who gave the fam
u recipe for the prevention of rail-
way accidents, Hang a director every
time there's a smaSh-up," n the Rev.
Sam Jones, the evangelist sun generis,
seems to have imbibed the heroic spirit
of this startling piece of advice.
AT the Monday meeting OF the gen
eral Conference Of the Methodist Epis-
copal church south the form and
method of trial for local preachers &C
c11sed Of immortality was under discus
sion, when Mr.. Jones advanced to the
platform and said: "Mr. President, as
a local preacher j have 6 substitute to
offer in this matter. i move to hang
all The local preachers unde suspicion"
Quite naturally, such a proposition by
so effulgent a light OF the pulpit pre-
cipitated a marked sensation, but amy
further exposition Of this unique view
was prevented by the Bishop Chandler,
who pounded vigorously with his gavel
and called out: Brother Jones Is out
of order"
This open endorsement OF the Ben
Butler doctrine by Mr.. Jones is GER
tainly peculiar, but it is not to be
doubted that it, would be as truly eff
cacious in the Ease of a derelict min
lister as it would he in that OF delm-

The German Machfavelli.

The contrast between the Great Brit
ish statesman who has just died at Ha-
warden and the great German states
esman who is nearing his end at Fried
erichruhe was emphasized in the inter
view with Prince Bismark published
Yesterday. The hatred of the man OF
blood and IRON for the Anglo-Saxon
principle of indiyidualism in govern
ment of which Mr.. Gladstone was 50
great an exemplar blazes out in the
bitterness of his comments upon Amer
leans and American policy. His sneer
at our mixed blood is not worth NOTICE,
but his veXation that we should pre-
sumo to interfere with the affairs OF
a. E1ropean nation shows how marrow
is his sympathy for THE oppressed and
how selfishly limited are his views.
The illustrious EngliShman never fall
ed to lift his voice in behalf of human
ity and liberty. AS The London enron
icle observes: ITO Italy, ito Greece,
Bulgaria, Montenegro and Belgium his
name is allowed He was an indefat-
igable in the pholding. of Great Brit
ian as Bismark was in creating Ger
many, but how differently they regard
ed the rights of the people and of other
nations. Beyond h frontier Line OF
his own country Prince Bismarck never
looked; his statefraft was only that
colossal selfi shness which is but part
ly redeemed by making all his country
men the sharers.-St. Louis Globe-Dem

The Restormel's Cargo COnfiscated.

Key West, June 2.-In the United
States district court today Judge
Locke rendered a decision condemning
the cargo of coal of the British steamer
Restormel, seized on Monday as She
was trying to run the blockade. Judge
Locke's decision releases the Restormel
The court held that the question for it
to decide was whether, al the the time
of the charter and shipment, the owners
of the vessel knew or should he held
to have known that she was carrying
~contraband Of war to aid the belliger-
ents. 1t being shown that the Restor-
mel sailed previous to the declaration
OF war, tine presumption off innocence
was raised there being no evidence that
the owners were wilfully n knowing
ly guilty of aiding the belligerent fleet
to coal, the steamer is ordered to be
released. AS to the GAL cargo, the YES
sells remarkable movements from San
JUAN to Curacoa and then, on the
Spanish consuls' order to Santiago de
Cuba, convince the court that the car
go was intended for the Spanish fleet
and is ~contraband of war. The cargo
is ordered appraised and turned over
to the navy department., which will de-
post it's appraised value with the New
York sub treasury, to the credit of this
country.
The judges report in the cases
brought by Cadet Jones against deputy
marshals and others will find the
charges unsupported by amy evidence.

All BRAVE MEN

All BRAVE MEN.
We know now how the yankee
fights.
On sea neither his vessels, with nick
Ell steel armor nor his many cannon
Of 20 centimetre calibre, are Of any
use to him.
Montojo, the heroic Montojo, in COM
mand of a few vessels, some mere
pontoons, gave the valiant Americans
the finest drubbing registered in ma
val chronicles.
Back to Hong Kong will go the illus
trious hogs with dropping shouts, en-
~deavoring to fill up the holes which
our insignificant cannon made in the
invulnerable armor Of their ships.
And on land?
All! On land it is the ~strangest and
most surprising things hat u read
ers can imagine.
Two armorclads, three cruisers, six
launches armed with mitrailleuses and
five lighters full of dirty and
greasy yankees; all this was directed
toward Spanish soil and proceeded
noisily to Mariel.
But at Mariel were the Corona rifle
men, a gallant battalion that received
the hogs at fair range.
And, oh! Cowardice never before
seen; those armorclads, those cruisers,
those launches and those militiamen
turned tail to the land and placed all
their hopes in flight, thus saving their
skins!
towards,
When the women Of Kentucky or of
New York hear of this they will pre-
sent you with their best petticoats.
And those yankee ome will be no
worse looking for SO great a shame,
for even in time of peace they are
worse than a china woman.
It's all right
A beating in the Philippines, a beat
ing in Cuba, a beating everywhere.
And when are you coming here, you
big thieves?
to keep their mouths open so long.
Come, arrive, robbers of Portuguese
dies
We are waiting to cut off your
shouts.
Europe and America are laughing
with open jaws at these mule-slaying
warriors, who flee from the guns Of
burn with jets Of steam unfortunate
and defenceless passengers.
What a shame!
If these gentlemen come here we
shall have first-class harvests in COM
ing years, as our fields will be splen-
didly MANFRED with the grease of hogs
and the bones Of mules. Come, cow

1t is said that the American guns
are of very great range.
But what! There is compensation
for everything in this world.
And in exchange, the sailors who
have to handle these guns are persons
Of very little range.
So one thing makes up for the other.
Taking this in account, it is easy to
explain why, in the bombardment Of
Matanzas, now celebrated in the an
nails of modern history, nc projectile
fell even by mistake within the cir
cult of the city nor within the forth
ications of the coast.
In so ignorant a manner
The aforesaid fleet fired

One bad mule is slew.

Southern

A northern woman, writing to The
Springfield (Mass.) Republican, from
Savannah, Ga, says:
The young girl of the south is al
most universally pretty, and often
beautiful. She has the clear skin, the
rounded cheek, and s%pringing step of
health. Her eyes express a girlish
pleasure in life and a soft conscious
ness of her own charms. Her mother.
very likely, belongs to a number Of
clubs, and is knocking at the door of
the legislature in behalf of the higher
education of women, but she herself
is often content to finish school as
soon as possible, to marry young, and
then in turn to write club papers, wit
ty or thoughtful, according as life has
developed or changed her point OF
view.
The intellectual woman is nowhere
more of a force than in the south. The
recent prospectus put forth by the
Atlanta Woman's Club shows an un-
usual breadth of view, and it is pre-
cisely what a careful student of the
life of the better class of women would
expect of them. The war stimulated
a spirit of large helpfulness that is
finding expression in practical ways all
over the south today, and that also
shows itself in the subtle and less OBJ
vious relations of a people kindly af-
fectioned one to another" To any
one not on the alert to detect a strain
of insincerity, h gracious way that
southern women ave of saying
charming things to each other is ir-
resistible. They ave a perfect genius
for ignoring unpleasantness, and new
er leave you with an irritated sense
of being misunderstood or of having
been rubbed the wrong way"
When one sees what these ~delicately
bred and gentle-mannered women
were capable of when the crisis came
the average girl can be. taken on trust,
until time and the hour shall prove
her capacity. The ways and means
by which they have been compelled to
earn a living would make an interest
ing chapter in modern sociology. One
woman whom I know makes a good
income by shopping for her friends at
a distance; another supports herself
and several children by making biscuit
for the Woman's Exchange. The bis
cult are perfect of their kind, and
there is a constant demand for them.
Another dresses dolls-hundreds of
them every year-and finds an absorb
ing interest in her work. The wife Of
the present governor OF Georgia de-
veloped extraordinary executive abil-
ity in managing the campaign Tor her
husband, and it is claimed that he
owed his election to her. She is a very
retiring, almost shy, woman, and the
strain of the unusual work., together
with the care of her young family,
completely wrecked her health for a
time, but h proved, as so many
southern women ave done, her ability
to do the thing that she had set her

William II. Hunt, general manager of
the Akron (O.) Hydraulic Brick Com
pany, has just returned from Mexico.
''Manufacturing enterprises" says Mr..
Hunt, "have quadrupled in this republic
within the past five years. All sorts of
enterprises are springing up and they
are all paying dividends. Not railway
is in the hands Of receiver, but all have
paid firotits for the year just closed. Not
business failure of importance has
been announced for the past twelve
months. Cotton mills are Overworked,
and more than half the raw product is
still imported from the United States.
