A
GRESHAM S BIG AXIt
Decapitates a State Department
Fossil?For Over a
Quarter ot a Century He
Had Held OfficeThe
St. Louis Republic.
Secretary Grc3ham took a swing
at the official ax-to day ami us a result
tl\e head of tho venerable fossil
of th(jrn7oi)Sular Bureau now lies in
the basket, as it were. This veteran 1
is named F. 0. St. Glair. For 28
years he had been in the State Department
and for the past 12 years
Chief of the Consular Bureau St*
Clair had been so long in the department
that he became of the belief
that he was the supreme master
of all the consulates.
He succeeded to a great extent in
appointing many of his friends to |
fat oonsultates, and he made it a
practice to change Consuls around
so th*t hi? favorites iuvariably drop- 1
ped ii^fb fat places. 11c also made
it a practice when complaints re
garding Consuls were sent to him
if any of them affected his friends,
to put them in his pocket. But if
the complaints were in regard those '
ho was not interested in particularly !
he always promptly fild them in
the.archives of the State Depart- 1
ment.
St. Clair had been so long in the !
bureau that nobody thought he
could he got out. Secretary Ore
sham, however, who is now a vigor- !
ous Democrat, if not very long in '
the party, did not hesitate to call for i
St. Clair's resignation and notify
tenipoarily by the subordinate chief.
REASONS FOR His D1MISKAI..
There are several reasons why
tbe dismissal of St. Clair is entirely
proper. lie aidded a young man
named Curry from New York a week
or 10 ten days ago to humbug the
department. Curry was Consul :
General to Yarktnouth, Nova Scotia,
during the former Cleveland administration
and for a couple of years
under Harrison. While at Yarkmouth
Curry because a good deal of
a cror.y of St. Clair's. A couple of i
days after Mr. Cleveland's inauguration
as President and while he was
hold ng a general reception Curry
appeared in the line, and, taking the
President's hand, greeted him formally,
stating that be was his former
commercial agent at Yarmouth
and was a candidate for the same
place.
Mr. Cleveland knew Curry slightly
and told him to go and see Mr.
Quincy at the State Department.
Curry immediately went there, had
a confab with St. Clair, was introduced
by St. Clair to Mr. Quincy and
informed Mr. Quincy that the President
had sent him to him to jay that
he should he given his old place at
Yarmouth immediately. Mr. Quincy,
never, doubting tbe truth of
Curry's statement in fact confirmed
in the belief bv the presence of the
t 1
Chief of the Bureau of Consular 1
Service as his ohaperone, immediately
issued a commission for Curry's
appointment
Later on, when the commission
was sent to tho President for his
signature, he made some inquiries
regarding it and then the whole
story came out. The appointment
of Cuf^/ was revoked.
A BIG TASK.
Judge Gresham and Assistant
Secretary Quincy will have a deal of
work to do before they can put the
Consular service on the high plane
desired by President Cleveland. The
* Republican administration took
pains after the election last November
to fortify many of the politicians
of the party in places where they
were not likely to be disturbed for
some months at least after tho entrance
of the new administration
The outgoing administration did not
content itsef, moreover, with filling
actual vacancies, but arranged a
series of transfers is make certain

licar much that pains and distresses <
me. In conversing with my neigh- (
bors, 1 often hear mothers make i
lemarks like this: "My girls will t
never be teachers, and I shall not *
try to send them to school only for i
them to become good readers and
writers." Fathers say, "I shall make ?
farmers of my boys; they can get <
along as 1 have;, they don't need 1
much schooling." Invariably, such (
language is made by people very 1
limited or no education; and I al- i
ways want to cry out (indeed, 1 have {
till I have offended some.) You I
have no right to send your children (
out in the world crippled as you I
have been." If our girls marry far* ]
mers and spend their lives on farms '
is that any reason why they should t
be ignorant, uneducated wives and 1
mothers? Although they may do i
their own house-\> ork (which is no 1
disgrace, especially if they do it well) i
shall their minds be so untutored t
that they cannot enjoy reading a :
good book, or mingle on terms equal- j
k .
, __
ity with well-informed, intelligent r
men and women? Strongly do 1 i
plead with the parents among the t
hills and valleys, to educate the c
children?body, mind, and heart; do \
not allow the God-given talents to t
lie dormant, hid in a napkin, for >ou ?
parents, will bo largely the ones He t
will call to account for the unim i t
proved abilities. I
I speak whereof I know, when 1 say 1
that an educated woman makesa beti
l >i .1 ..
lur >> i iu uiiu uiutiiv i ^ unit a 11 1 t ^
one,than one with untrained mental
powers. In the country, where there
ure so few opportunities for recrea- |
tion (and at times the busy house- (
wife cannot avail horsolf even of i t
these), very many hours, otherwise i
dismal and gloomy, maybe pleas t
fintly and delightfully passed in 'I
meditating on the lessons of pist ^
school days; in reflections ccneer 1
ning the beautiful and instructive c
things in nature, or the workings of
the human mind, intelligently and t,
sensibly, because of early instruction I
in botany, physical geography, men r
tal philosophy, etc. t
And the boys?why should not c
farmers stand intellectually equal j
with clerk, the merchant, the doctor, c
cr the school toucher,; I mean, in r
general information and knowledge; t
for while each one must have special
training for special lines of busi o
ness, yet each one, every one, may i
acquire a fund of useful, general r
knowledge. Fathers, do not think t
all your boys need to he taught, is f
liow to get a living from the soil, to t
drive a sharp bargain, and make 1;
money. Send them to school, stim- 1,
ulate in them a desire for clear per ?
ception, and understanding the na .1
turoof things; help them to make t
the most of ?itheir natural abilities.
Do not keep them out of school to t
work while in their boyhood, merely t
to make a little more money; better
to have your bodies plainly clothed
und your houses meagerly furnished,
than to have the mind neglected ind
uncaretl for.
I like that remark of the mother,
who, when a friend spoke about the
plainness of her litto girl's attire,
Said she hud no time for rubles or
tucks, Iter boy was getting oltl
enough so lie was inquiring about .1
chemistry and philosophy, and she I
was looking over her school hooks f
30 as to be able to answer his queries;
and when he arrived at manhood t
she did not want him to be ashamed c
af his mother, so she had no time to 'J
make or wash and iron furbelows* t
Ciive us more such mothers, and we s
will have a better educated, more r
influential rural population, from a
which comes the "bone and sinew of 'J
the land." t
i
How Farming Pays. t
Wilmington Star. *
You ask, "Does Farming pay?'1 a
We answer, emphatically, yes. a
There is no legitimate business 1
where one gets as good results for as v
little risk. It is true the farmer has f
very little ready money, but the pru- c
lent farmer needs very little. The C
lawyer, doctor and tradesman get
ready money for what they do, but
they arc compelled to spend it for
what the prudent farmer has in t
store; their little surplus is deposi- H
ted in bank to be invested in real es- 1
t,ate or stocks, when ihey have saved j
mough to invest. Thus there may 8
tie periods in their history when they i
lave some money in bank, while the [
iverago farmer may never have one i
lollar to his credit, simply because q
le does each year what they do once ^
n a lifetime, i. e. inveft his money c
u real estate. i
It is the object of every in tell i - \
;ent business man to provide for his \
)ld age a home where he can be free s
from want and the annoyances of c
ictive business life. This the pru- f
lent farmer does by devoting his g
turpi lis {time) to improving his farm c
ind home, lie digs new ditches, j
dears new land, sets out fruit trees d
md vines, and does many things to (|
ncrease the value and profits of bis j
farm and make his home nirse at- t
raetive to himself and family, there- 'J
5y lessening the desire to seek plea a
mre abroad and spend the little rea- y
ly money that the> may have. He d
)an be lord of all ho surveys, with h
very comfort that life can afford, H
vithout having one dollar in ready n
uoney, which is more than can he y
;ni/l r\ f n V* ?r rAnnh/tn

The imprudent and reckless far- t
uer who plants all cotton with an j|
iye to having ready money to spend jt
:rom home, and continues to plant it n
;ach year regardless of t be profits or t
oases, is like the merchant who in- t
rests his whole capital in a class of t
foods that he is compelled to sell
jelow cost, and goes back the next
leason and buys the same goods with v
ike results, and continues to do this, a
Ele must fail; he deserves to fail, c
I'he farmer who spends a good part f
>f his time from homo, at the neglect
of his stock and many lesser but
mportant details of the farm, he is f
like the n erchant that does the same r
hat in his business; be fails, and de- I
ierves very little sympathy. The t
Southern farmer has advantages en- t
joyed by few; he can raise everything i

loss of man, and his failure to do

teep out of politics, they would be
nore prosperous and happy. Try it,

iglit took place to-day, at Antlers {
3hoctuw nation, between ttie Chocaw
militia ami the Jackson faction,
n which twenty men are reported
;illed and twenty-one wounded.
Phe light is reported as still in pro
;res8 tit 0 o'clock. Antlers is one
lundred and twenty live miles south
f here. i
The trouble is the outgrowth of
he election last August for chief,
n September, before the council
net, four Jones men were assasinaed
by Jackson men. When the
ouncil met the militia were there to
>reserve order. Jones was declared
hief. Twenty-two men were arestod
charged with murder in Scpember
and are now in custody.
Dick Locke, a prominent merchant
if Antlers, was charged with incit
ng these murders, but was not arested.
The militia was sent out
o arrest him and others, when their
riends rallied to their support and
he result was the battle to day. A
ate dispatch says that the nrlitia
.avo been arrested by the I'nitedj
bates authorities, and Governor!
ones lias been telegraphed for to go
o Paris at once.
Later telegrams just received say
hat the militia attacked Locke's par
y at his private residence, which (
vas riddled with bullets. 10 very
rindow was shot out. Three of f
.ocko's men were badly wounded,
'ifteen of the militia were woundei (
,nd five are reported deed Nineeen
of the militia were arrested by
Jnited States officers and taken to
.Wis, Texas. Loeke has no objoe
ions to being tried, but fearid to J
,llow himself to bo arrested by !
one's militia and hence resisied.
le stands high and has many |
rionds. '
Three hundred men took part in t
ho battle, each side having about I
me hundred and fifty supporters. I
Phe latest advices say ten men were ;
tilled and fifteen wounded. One 1
ido represents the Choctaw govern- i
nenfc, formed the national militia I
ind the others are followers of V.I
d. Locke, who resists arrest, fearing
ha the will be killed instead of tic 1
ng given trial by law. The United <
States ofiicers arrested nineteen of ,
bo militia at 7 P. M. and took them <
o Paris. All is quiet at present. I
All tho Choctaw elections last
ummer there were charges of fraud, |
md four men were astasinated. (
I'liis lod to a factional war which
vns surpassed by the United States ,

This morning Messrs Strait and

deavored to discuss postal affairs in
their districts they were mortify and
surprised after conversing with Mr.
Maxwell, to niml "their pictures
turned to the wail and Third Party
marked across their name." In oth?r
words they were black-listed as
not being Democrats and, therefore,
not entitled to name the fourth-class
post masters in their respective districts.
Mr. McLuurin is also in the

As to the more restricted project

to the objection that the islands do
not yet belong to ns, so that no national
obligation arises to lay a cable
to them, while a purely commercial
enterprise for laying if is hampered
by the doubt whether there would
be business enough to repay it.
With aimcxation, all such obstacles
to a Hawaiian cable might disappear

current (iovornnient uses of the

S. Schley, I S. .N., who won much
faiuo during the Chilean riots, in
which poor Kiggin lost his life, and
who is now in charge of the Third
Light House Pistrict, the headquarters
of w hich is at Tompkiusvillc,
StaLcn Island, will start for Chicago
this morning to superintend one of
the largest electrical experiments
that has ever been undertaken in
any country.
Capt. Schley said ton Recorder reporterjyesterduy:
"If the now experiment
is successful, it will be one
of the grea'est achievements of the
modern age, and will revolutionize
: the navigation of our harbors."
It is the intention of the government
olliciuls to light the river front
at Chicago by the means of electric
buoys lor a distance of oyer seven
consecutive miles, the current to bo
furnished from one station. The
present system of lighting buoys in
our channels is inefficient and very
, expensive, and can only be utilized
on short circuits. In Godney's channel
three wires arc insulated and
fixed in one ruble, which runs to a
junction box at one end of the channel,
while one wire branches off to
each light, which lights the three
buoys on the north side of tho channel.
A separate cable runs to the
south side to light tho buoys 011 that
side.
By the new system with which
Cnpt. {Schley hopes to light the Chicago
water front, a power station
will he erected at 0110 end of the
line and one cable, laid tho entire
distance they propose to light. The
wire will ho of very small calibre at
tho dynamo and taper up to about
an inch at the return end. It will
be made in this manner to save any
1 loss of the current by friction.
It. is proposed to send 1,500 volts
: over the entire lino from one station,
anil a sufficient current will ho
1 taken off by the means of a converter
to supply each individual light.
Fourteen miles ?>f cable have been
shipped to Chicago to complete tho '
return eircliit.
! Capt. Schley said the cost of tho
experiment would ho about $25,000,
r and that is what the intention to j
r make it 0110 of tho World's Fair ex j
, hihits. I le also stated that the sev-j
on-milo range could not he lighted
1,1/ >iii .il.l . it/illi/mt ! tin irtwr. I
t -SJ .... 1 J * * ?-?V hw,
ernmeut going to an expense. If
the harbor of Chicago is lighted, and
tin; experiment proves success, Capt.
I Schley proposes to ask the 'govern'
meat to allow him to lay a ship;
> ohannol with electric lights and bolls
from the outer side of (iednoys
Channel, np near Hobbies' Hcef.
5 f ho buoys in this channel would
bo so arranged that a red light
i would show on one side and a green
light oji tho other, and on each huoy
there will bo electric bells of dif,
ferent tones, so that the pilot can
tell just the location of his vessel.
The electric hells will be arranged so
t as to have a gong on one side and a ,
jingle bell on the opposite side of
the channel, and at the bad points,
> like tho South Spil, where vessels
s have to change their course, a jingle
i that will ring continually will bo
t placed.
i Capt. Schley says that by this imv
provomcnt in the ship channels tho
l dangers of navigation would bo very
r materially dimimshod, and it would
#
guide pilots coining ill from sen, and
make it comparatively safe for them
to come over the har and anchor in a
safe port in foggy weather.

It is a curious fact that tlie "doctrine
of probabilities," or the scientific
basis unon which all insuranno
rests, had its origin in u game of
cards. That is to say, the foundation
upon whioh this great economy
depends, and upon which it owes its
claim to the confidence and patronage
of the community, originated
from investigations regarding games
of chances.
As related by the North American J
Review, it happened in this way:
About the year 1050 the Chevalier!
de Mere, a Flemish nobleman, who
was both a respectable mathematical)
and an ardent gamester, attempted
to solve the problem of dividing
equitably the stakes when a game of
ckuncc was interuptod. The problem
was too dillicult for him and he
sought the aid of tho famous Abbe
Blaise Rascal, a Jesuit priest, author
of "(light Throughs" and one of the
most accomplished mathematicians
of any age. Pascal solved the problem,
and in doing so enunciated the
"doctrine of probabilities, or laws
governing so called chances.
I pon this depend not only the
laws governing insurance of all kinds
but also the laws governing the mottions
of planets in space ami, in fact,
all astronomical science. This doctrine
or theory Pascal illustrated by
throwing dice. When a single die
is thrown the chance of turning up
an ace is precisely one out of six, or
one out of the total number of sides
111' !n*#W l'nt ll i ! nnrn 11 111??1 w? r ?vf
throws arc made it will Iks found i
that each face will bo turned up a
number of times.
From this I'escal laid dowi* the
proposition tlfat results which have
happened in any grout number of
observed eases will again happen
under similar circumstances, provi
ding the number he suflioient for the
proper working of the law of aver
age. Thus the duration of the life
of a single individual is one of the
greatest uncertainties, but the duration,
or rale of mortality, of a large
number of individuals may be pro
dieted with groat accuracy by com
purison with the observed results
among a sullicient large number of
persons of simdar ages, occupations,
and climatic influences.

\\ ami i mi ion, March 29.? It is
generally understood here to-day
that.Mr. X. G. Gonstales' nomination
Io !>c Consul General at Itio de
Janeiro will he shortly sent to tho
Senate.
Senator Irby has just been interviewed
with roference to this ap'
pointment, and, as usual, spoko
frankly and to the point. "I am
very much surprised/' said he, "at
this nomination. I neither protested
against it, mr was I consulted
with reference to it. As the representative
of the organized Democracy
of South Carolina, 1 would he
derelict in my duty if 1 did not oppose
his nomination, because the office
does not fit him, and it is an insult
to the I )emooracy of my State.
I would suffer my throat cut before
I would vote for him for an office of
that sort, for his appeal to the negro
and his opposition to the regular
nominees of the Democratic party in
IBM). His criticisms'of mo would
not necessarily influence my vote, hutas
chairman of the party, 1 cannot
and will not stand such nominations,
I did not object to the confirma
tiou of (Ion. Hampton, because both
factions, for certain reasons, were
not opposed to giving him an office.
Hut I want it understood that f am
not going to swallow any of Mr.
Cleveland's rotten eggs. I will oppose
this confirmation, even tf I loso
all the patronage in ?South Carolina,
even to the small privilege of naming
my own postmaster."
Not mu m or .v mistake.
The South Carolina Ooala Representatives,
Messrs. Latimer, Strait,
McLuuriu and Talbert, called on
rohimnsi'-r ?ionerai dissoii to-uay
with reference to thc.r being blacklisted.
Mr. Hissell informed tho tie 1 elation
that lie had ascertained, since
their former call on Monday, that it
was through tho mistake of one of
the elorks, who was making a list of
the Farmers' Alliance and Third
party members of Congress and placed
their names upon it, that thoy
were blacklisted.
"This," said Mr. Bissell, "is not
an ofllcial non recognition of your
claims." lie further stated that
neither lie nor Mr. Maxwell were
aware of their being blacklisted when
they called upon him on Monday in
regard to the matter, and it was for
| this reason that he was unable to explain
why it was they were put on
^ the blacklist.
JMnin Talk to runners.
The Chattanooga Times gives expression
to the following wise words
of caution:
"There is danger of a relapse of
our Southern planting community,
from tho sensible policy of farm
product diversification, that made a
hopeful start in 1892. In a word
the outlook now is for a cotton crop
in 1G9I3, covering the area (or a greater)
of the planting of 1891. This
means an abandonment to a great
degree, of food and feed growing; a
product of from 0,000,0(H) to 11,000,
000 bales of the staple; G-cent prices
to the grower, the holding of largo
masses of cotton hy the farmers next
fall and winter, raised at a loss; with
neither food for tho animals nor the
families in hand, and no means of
buying them.
The world dosn't need 0,000,000
American cotton. The spinners
won't take it except at prices ruinous
to growers. If the planters are
bent on working another year for the
enrichment of the spinners and tho
impoverishment of themselves, we
suppose they will, but tho press of
the South should, nevertheless, tell
the truth and thus clear their own
skirts of the responsibility for such
disaster as followed the over-pro
duotion of two years ago."
