A St. Louis druggist is making a strong
bid for tho suicide trade. He has a big
show window fitted out with the means
of self destruction, which presumably are
to be found on sale Inside. The display
Includes some twenty different kinds of
poisons, a box of cigarettes, a couple of
bottles of whisky and a deck of cards.
The Macon Telegraph has an idea that
Mr. Crisp will be renominated for the
House, and will make both the House
race and the Senate race at one and the
same time. There is nothing to prevent
him from doing so if he likes; at the same
time, he said that he will not be a candi
date for a renomination.
The Madrid Imparcial is unwittingly
but decidedly humorous in what it has to
say about the fitting out of Spanish pri
vateers to prey upon American shipping
in the event of hostilities between Spain
and the United States. "Neither in. the
Mediterranean, whose entrance we com
mand. nor on the Atlantic, will a single
American ship be safe.” says the Impar
cial. So great a newspaper as the Impar
cial is should know that the American
shipping in the Mediterranean is practi
cally nil. America has very few ships in
the foreign carrying trade, and none at
all worth making a blow over except the
four splendid ocean preyhounds cf the
American steamship line. If the Span
iards were to bag all of the American
craft In the Mediterranean they would
probably find themselves in possession of a
few pleasure yachts and nothing else. If
the Spanish privateers wish to catch Amer
ican vessels they will have to come over to
this coast and lay for the schooners and
steamers that hug the shore up and down.
The native Charlestonla„ - s love for his
city is proverbial. Everybody has heard
of the Charleston man who absolutely
refused to be convinced that that “town”
was not the only city. He was to the
manner born. But he was not more ar
dent in his admiration for Charleston than
is a bright young man who is now on the
staff of our esteemed contemporary, the
News and Courier. This bright young man
was sent the other day to write some
thing about the steamer Commodore, the
alleged Cuba filibuster, which Is now at
a Charleston wharf filled with arms and
explosives. The young man wrote that
he found the steamer lying "like a big
alligator asleep in the warm rays of the
Sabbath sun,” with decks so hot that they
were like a “stove full of fire,” which
suggested that at any minute the explo
sives might go off with a sudden sizzle,
and “send him on his way to heaven.”
“Fortunately,” says tho reporter, "no such
catastrophe occurred.” The Charleston
man regards going anywhere away from
home as a catastrophe. Why? Maybe the
reporter gives some inkling of the reason
In another part of his story of the Com
modore, thus: “The mate snored in his
bunk behind the wheel house. Downstairs
the cook drowsed over the galley stove
trying to keep awake and get dinner
ready, while a row of small Afro-Ameri
cans snored on the wharf.” That is
Charlestonian.
Congress and Belligerent Bights.
The Senate and the House having passed
i resolutions favoring the granting of be!-
! ligerent rights to the Cuban Insurgents
| and the taking of steps looking to
j wards the independence of the insurgents,
the President has the assurance of the
support of congress if he should consider
{ it advisable to extend a helping hand to
them. What course will the President
! pursue?
We do not think he will do anything
I immediately that would tend to imperil i
the friendly' relations between the Uni
■ ted States and Sapin, unless he were satis
fied that what he proposed to do would
be of great benefit to the insurgents. As !
far as we can see, the granting of beliig- i
erent rights to the Cubans at this time
would be of no practical benefit to them.
Whatever moral benefit that is to be ob
tained from the resolutions that congress
has passed the Cubans will get without j
any action on the part of the President, j
and the moral benefit is considerable, |
since It amounts to an assurance that j
the insurgents can depend upon material
help from the I’nlted States when they
possess ability to maintain an independ
ent government.
At present they have no civil govern
ment of any kind. They are not able
to hold any town In which to set up a
government. They have no established
tribunals of any sort, in any part of the
Island, and there are no reasons for think
ing they will have any in the near fu
ture. While such a stale of affairs exists
the granting of belligerent right would
l>o of no benefit to the Insurgents, and
would l>e practically without precedent In
International law. It would he an act
at which Spain would have excuse for
taking offense.
What would the Insurgents gain from
a recognition of their belligerency? We
do not see that they would gain anything
in particular, as far as helping their
cause is concerned. If they had the
means they might purchase and commis
sion cruisers and make war on Spain’s
commerce. Asa matter of fact, how
ever, they’ have no warships and no means
of getting any.
On the other hand, the granting of bel
ligerent rights to the insurgents would
give Spain the right to blockade all the
Cuban ports against all American ves
sels, and to search all American merchant
vessels that attempted to enter those
ports. That would interfere greatly with
our commerce with Cuba, w hich amounts
to about $23,000,000 a year. There is an
other thing that the President must take
Into account. A vast amount of proper
ty in Cuba is owned by Americans. The
granting of belligerent rights to the in
surgents would relieve Spain of all re
sponsibility for the preservation of this
properly’. At present Spain Is accountable
for whatever property of Americans that
may be destroyed.
There Is no doubt that the sympathy
of the American people Is with the In
surgents, but because It Is, It doesn’t fol
low that the United States should take a
step that would injure their own Inter
ests without benefitting the insurgents.
If the insurgents should achieve such
success as to warrant a belief that they
could maintain an Independent govern
ment, the United States would then no
doubt give them material aid, and they
could afford to do so then.
The Salvation Army Trouble.
Commander Ballington Booth and his
wife, who had charge of the American
branch of the Salvation Army, and who
were summarily' dismissed recently by
Gen. Booth of London, are being urged to
start an Independent organization in this
country. They feel very sore at their dis
missal, and it is not unlikely that they
will do what their American admirers
ask them to do.
It does not appear, however, that they
have any right to complain. When Com
mander Booth and his wife came to this
country they knew what the regulations
of the Salvation Army were. They also
knew that Gen. Booth was a despot and
that, he would remove them from their
positions whenever he saw fit to do so.
They had been so prosperous, however,
and had made so many friends, that they
had begun to think they were of too
much importance to be compelled to step
dow’n anu out without a word of explana
tion.
If they should decide to set up a rival
organization the question of the owner
ship of the Salvation Army real estate
in this country might become an import
ant one. This property amounts to about
SS<X>,OOO, and was contributed by people
who expected that it would be used ex
clusively for the benefit of the American
branch of tho Salvation Army. It is said
to stand in the name of the dismissed
Commander Booth.
The Salvation Army has been quite suc
cessful in accumulating property. Its pos
sessions are now estimated to be worth
about $4,000,000. All of this vast sum is
under tho control of Gen. Booth, the
head of the army. He does with It pretty
much as he pleases. It may be that so
much money makes him the despot he is
represented to be. As long as the Salva
tion Army was poor it prospered, and
there was harmony among its leaders.
When it got rich then came trouble. It
is a pity it, didn't continue poor.
Whether spiritualism is a fake or a
fact, it has many followers in this coun
try. A two-days' convention of spirit
ualists was held in New York last week.
There were present representatives of hft
societies in all parts of the United States*
who discussed spiritualism in as much
sincerity as ever any question was dis
cussed, and held a number of seances at
which "tests” were given. Herrmann,
who was here the other day, has dupli
cated about all of the so-called manifes
tations of the spiritualists and shown that
they can be performed by natural means
through a resort to simple trickery. Still,
as to the truth or fallacy of spiritual
ism, that must be decided each for him
self. Arguments seldom accomplish con
victions on the subject.
Bimetallism, as most of the free silver
ites understand and preach it, is all sil
ver.
THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, MARCH S. 1896.
He Deserved Ills Fate.
The withdrawal of Dr. Hunter as the
j candidate of the republicans of Kentucky
I for United State* senator, will not be re
gretted. It was discovered that he was
j not worthy of the confidence that had been
reposed la him. He received the caucus
nomination of his party because he had
done more than any other man
j to give Ida party the victory In
Kentucky, and because it was understood
that he was a sound money man. Asa
; party -organizer and leader ie displayed
uncommon ability. The republican cam
paign in Kentucky was conducted on a
sound money platform, and no one had any
doubt that Dr. Hunter favored sound
money. The republican members of the
legislature who gave him so consistent
a support for many weeks never for a
moment supposed that he was
anything but a sound money
man. When, therefore, it began
to ho whispered abroad that he
had pledged himself to vote with the free
silver coinage men In the event of his
election his friends indignantly dented
the statement. Dr. Hunter, however, said
nothing, lie was discreetly silent and
worked for his election with renewed
vigor. The report that he was not sound
on the money question excited suspicion,
and suspicion led to an investigation. It
was discovered that he had pledged him
self to vote, In the event of his elec
tion, for free sliver coinage. From that
moment his chance of being elected sen
ator was gone.
Such men as Dr. Hunter are danger
ous in politics. They cannot he trusted.
They destroy confidence In other public
men. Dr. Hunter knew he was being sup
ported as a sound money man. and yet
he hid pledged himself to the free sil
verßes. He has made a record that will
forever bar him from any office of honor
and profit in Kentucky. Nothing he can
do will restore him to the esteem and
confidence of his party. The deception he
practiced, if the dispatches state the sit
uation correctly, was deliberate.
It may have been that he pledged him
self to the free silverites in order to get
the one vote necessary to elect him, and
intended, if elected, to act with the sound
money men of his party. We do not mean
to say that such was his Intention, but,
if it was, it explains his conduct. But
such an explanation would not be honor
able to him. It would have been as bad
from a moral standpoint to deceive the
free silverites as it was to deceive his
party.
Senator Blackburn has been condemned,
and that, too, harshly, because he refused
to abide by the sound money plank in the
platform of his party, but he has been
frank and outspoken at all times. His
conduct is In striking contrast to that
of Dr. Hunter. He has Invited and re
ceived the disapproval of his party, but
he has not forfeited the respect of his
party associates. He has not pretended
to be what he was not.
Dr. Hunter will pass out of sight, and
his disappearance from the political
arena will not cause anybody to grieve
If he had been wholly frank he would
have retainer! the respect of his party
even though he failed to secure the sona
torship.
llencfltN of Hocnfgen'M Rays.
Gradually it is becoming apparent that
the discovery made by Prof. Roentgen is
of very great benefit in surgery. Sur
geons are using the cathode rays very suc
cessfully in discovering the presence of
foreign substances and malignant dis
eases in the body. We have already pub
lished the facts in a number of cases in
which foreign substances, such as bullets,
points of knife blades, needles, etc., in
different parts of the body .were dis
covered.
A few days ago the cathode rays were
used to determine whether or not a wo
man was suffering from a malignant dis
ease. The experiment was made In the
Mercy hospital at Chicago, and it was suc
cessful. A woman w-ho complained of
great pain in that portion of one of her
limbs that is between the knee and the
hip, applied for relief. The surgeons
thought the pain might be caused by sar
coma, a malignant growth akin to can
cer, but were not sure. The woman was
laid upon the table in the laboratory. The
Chicago paper that reported the case says:
“The Crookes tube was placed above and
tho sensitive plate beneath that part of
the thigh where the woman felt pain. A
long exposure was given, in order to in
sure a satisfactory' result. A heavy black
cloth covered tho diseased member and
protected the plate from ordinary rays of
light. The negative obtained was remark
ably clear and distinct. The ray had
passed through the thigh bone. It made its
way even into the meddulary cavity—that
is, the hollow of the thigh bone contain
ing the marrow. It showed that a portion
of the bone about midway between the
knee and the hip joint, about two inches
long and an inch wide, was entirely gone,
and that its place was filled up by a
spongy growth.”
The following day an operation was per
formed, and the condition of the limb was
found to be exactly as it appeared in the
photograph. Sarcoma had attacked the
thigh bone. From this case it is apparent
that the Roentgen ray furnishes anew
means for diagnosing, not only sarcoma,
but other diseases of the bones.
An alleged hot spring has been discov
ered in the heart of New York city. It
used to be a favorite saying of Ben Till
man's, on the stump in South Carolina,
that h— and Wall street were less than
half a mile apart. Mr. Tillman may now
point to the hot spring as an incident going
to illustrate the correctness of his asser
tion. _

CURRENT COMMENT.
Scare Off the “Yellow Dogs.”
From the Chicago Times-Herald (Ind.).
The democratic party- could perform a
great service to the public by pulling it
self together, presenting a solid front, and
thus forcing the republican party to ob
serve a little more regard for decency in
making its nominations for the November
elections.
The War In Cuba.
From the Baltimore Herald (Dem.).
The Cuban war admits of no compro
mise. It means Spanish supremacy per
petuated, or it means autonomy for the
last misgoverned province of that coun
try in the new world. And, sentimental
considerations aside, the United States
cannot afford to Jeopardize $25,000,000 in
vested capital in the hands of bankrupt
adventurers, whose code of law has been
confiscation, plunder and ruin evqj- since
l’izarro landed on American shores.
Whitney Set Straight.
From the Philadelphia Times (Ind.).
Mr. Whitney has been setting himself
right with regard to the alleged “Whit
ney movement” in the south, which, he
says, has not his ‘'approval or concur
rence." As he has already said, he is not,
and will not be. a candidate for President.
And he is not in favor of the free coinage
of silver, “independent of the co-operation
and action of other nations,” and he does
not wish to be so understood. He believes
that theory to be "fundamentally wrong
and vicious” and "likely to lead to most
evil consequences."
At* to Belligerent Right*.
From the Philadelphia Record (Dem.).
Should belligerent rights be granted by
the United States to the Cuban Insur
gents. in accordance with the Senate reso
lutions, the difficulty would be to com
municate the fact to the provisional gov
ernment in Cuba, if it have any existence.
The only town which the Cuban insur
gents have had possession of they burned
down when they were compelled to evacu
ate it. When the belligerency of the con
federates in our civil war was recognized
by European nations, they had a thor
oughly- organized civil government in full
performance of its functions. In Cuba
the insurgents have nothing resembling
civil government—neither courts, legisla
ture. executive, nor civil authority of any
kind. For this reason neither the republic
of France nor any other liberal govern
ment in Europe would think for a moment
of recognizing the belligerency of fhe Cu
ban insurgents. There is nothing that ex
empts this country from the same ob
servance of the principles of International
law.
ITEMS OF INTEREST.
—One of the many natural menders of

—A retail hardware dealer In England
says that 90 per cent, of the files he sells
come not from Sheffield, but from Ameri

Ironmonger. The American manufactur
ers, it seems, keep large stocks in Lon
don and fill orders with great promptness.
The American price lists give exact in
formation regarding sizes and grades and
promise delivery in three days from Lon
don. A Sheffield price list requires pro
longed study to comprehend it. and when
an order is sent to Sheffield, it may not
be filled for four weeks, or even eight
weeks. This tardiness in filling orders,
the writer says, has been a matter of
weekly experience for the past twenty
years.
It is in Egypt that the lentil crop
is of the most value, for in the land of
the Pharaohs the lentil forms one-sixth of
the food of the people, besides being ex
tensively exported to other countries. It
is well suited to the soil and climate,
as it requires little irrigation save what
the Nile provides. The Egyptian lentils
are reputed the best and most nutritious
in the world. From Cairo to Assouan
the farmers of the Nile valley regularly
rotate the crop with wheat or maize,
gathering it in about the end of April.
Every peasant grows enough for his own
consumption, making it into porridge,
which he finds both wholesome and sus
taining, and the cheapest food he can ob
tain. In Cairo, Alexandria, Ismailia. Suez,
Port Said an * the other towns the con
sumption in soup is very large. Most of
the export goes to there to be
converted into invalid or “patent” food
under some fanciful name at a fanciful
price.
—An American, who has visited and de

wear orange flowers, if they don’t. Bride
roses, white and scentless, are popular
for bridal flowers, but lilies of the valley
unobtrusive and delicate, slipping out of
their little green sheaths, with a few
orchids grouped with them, to give the
whole form and character, are in ex
quisite taste.”
—Ed Owens, a well-known engineer, run
ning on the Lexington division passenger
train. Is exhibiting among his friends an
egg that has photographed upon its shell,
with true outline and perfect distinct
ness, a locomotive headlight, says the Ash
land (Ky.) News. The other morning,
while going out the road beyond Aden
Springs, the engine pulling at the usual
speed, Owens ran down a flock of chickens
that were scratching upon the track. One
of these, a hen, was struck by the pilot,
knocked ahead upon the track and later
run over. As any railroad engineer will
tell you, such an occurrence is an un
usual one, for a hen, of all things, can
most successfully get away from a loco
motive. When Owens left the cab at Olive
Hill while they were taking water he
walked forward and discovered between
the strong wooden gratings of the pilot
the egg In question. It had fallen into an
aperture just large enough to hold it with
out allowing it to roll either way, conse
quently had not broken. On the remain
der of the run into Lexington, Owens and
the fireman discussed at length the pe
culiar making of the egg, and it is a
matter of doubt whether the egg was
the product of the hen's last effort, or
whether it was placed there by some prac
tical joker. At any rate, Owens is holding
the specimen as a curiosity that he values
at Us weight in gold.
—Trilbyism will have the good effect
of benfitting our feet, says an exchange.
A London man has invented what he calls
a toe-post. It is a thin, vertical steel
plate, covered with leather, which rises
from the sole and separates the great toe
from the one next to it. This, claims
the inventor, will prevent the twisting
around of the great toe, which so dis
figures the foot. A little over a century
ago all England raved over the foot of
the Duchess of York, just as the world
to-ciay raves over the wonderful feet of
a mythical Trilby. The dushess was a
daughter of Frederick William II of Prus
sia, and married the Duke of York son
of George 111, in 1791. They did not hit
it off and soon separated, the lady retir
ing to Oatlands park, Weybridge, where
she amused herself with her pet dogs
and died in 182a seven years before her
husband. Her shoe was a marvel in min
iature. It was made of purple Spanish
leather with a pink rose and tambour
front, variegated with white, green and
pink. The heel was also pink, its hight
being 2% inches. The tread of the heel
was nearly an inch in the widest part
and was shaped somewhat like a horse
shoe; the widest part of the sole did not
exceed 1* inches, and the girth of the
largest part of the foot was 6“i inches
The length of the shoe from the seam
behind to the extremity of the toe was
8% inches, so thy? length of the ladvs
actual foot was probably IV. inches
shorter.
