THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C., FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1889 , SOUTHERNERS NEW YORK. | DO) ’T GROWL AT THE PRESIDENT THE AMERICAN SOLDIER. Opening of Their New Club House—/| His Home Newspaper Protesting Against | The Enlisted Man is More of a Menial Speech by General Gordon. The formal opening of the sumptuously ap- pointed home of the New York Southern soci- ety, at No. 18 West Twenty-fifth street, took place last night im the form of s grand banquet and reception, All the southern people of prominence called here by the centennial cele- bration were present im addition to a long list of New York officials and prominent men. At the banquet, at which the president, John C. Calhoun, presided, the toast list was entirely formal, and was arranged to include an address from the governor of each southern state present in the order in which the states were admitted into the Union. Following mn opening address by President Cal- houn, the order of speeches arranged for was as follows: Vice-President Levi P. Morton, Chauncey M. Depew, Henry W.Grady, Gov. Benj. L Biggs, of Delaware; Gov. E. Jackson, of Maryland; Gov. John B. Gordon, of Georgia; Gov. John P. Richardson, of South rotina; Gov. Fitzhugh Lee, of Virginia; Gov. Fowle, of North Carolina; Gov. Simon B. Buck- uer, of Kentucky, and Col, Hancock, of Texas, ‘The representative southern people present other than mentioned in the list of speakers included: Senator John W. Daniel and M. C. Butler, of the South Carolina house of representatives; the Virginia commissioners, Col. Walter H. Taylor, Judge W. W. Crump, Judge Walter Staples, Major Holmes Conra ex-Congressman Randolph Tucker, Senator Wade Hampton, of South Carolina; Gen. Chas. Anderson, Col. Sam'l B. Witt and Col. Chas. O’B. Cowardin, of Gov.

Coudert, Ju Bookstaver, George Rutledge Gibson, Wm. L. Trenholm, Wm. P. St. John, Ballard Smith and Col. Nor- vin P. Randolph: GEORGIA AND THE UNION. Gor. Gordon in his speech said: “Georgia's position in this sisterhood of states is both in- teresting and unique. She was the youngest of the thirteen original colonies which formed the Union. She is, therefore, the honored iink in the family circle between the old and the new commonwealth of the republic. Although for a brief period that link was severed, yet her love for her sisters and for the birthright of freedom which all inherited has survived the separation. I utter a great truth,and one which the future will yet make plain to the apprehension of posterity, that through all the dust and smoke of that bitter sec- tional conflict, through all the tearsand the blood that was shed. through all the pas- sious that were evoked and all the woes that were endured, the eye that is clear and the mind that is just,cau plainly discern an un- i love of the liberty which our fathers achieved, and an unabated devotion to onstitutional republic which they jointly wblished, If I may be hon @ figure drawn from the Statae of Liberty, whose up- lifted flame lights your incomparable harbor, I Id say that upon this centennial occasion we d Luild a political lighthouse, grounded en the rock of the Constitution, cemented in fellowship and mutual confidence, to ight over land and sea, that we may avoid the reefs npon which the happiness of peoples and the stability of nations are stranded, wrecked and lost. A political lighthouse whose quenchless flame shall not only serve to guide the American people to all political trath and basis for real unity, but shall also gu aggling les of the world in ti ir onward march to fi — Civil War Continues Because a Few Men Make Money Out of It. Cope Haytien Correspondence New York Herald. Having recently visited Port-au-Prince, St. . Gonaives, Mole St. Nicolas, and Cape jen, I am satisfied that Haytian affairs ave changed little, if at all, since last Decem- ber. The armies of Légitime and Hyppolite confront each other at five or six poiuts, are | about equally divided, and are content to en- gage in an occasional skirmish. The north bas , the Jacmel and the Carondelet, both of them stationed at Cape Haytien, but not considered sufficiently strong to attack the } navy of Légitime. Last week the Jacmel, un- | der Capt. Compton, made a dash into the | enemy's country, captured a schooner loaded | with armsand ammunition and took some pris- | euers. Owing to the sudden appearance of | Legitime’s gunboats, however, the prize was sunk by the captors. The southern navy is engaged in blockading St. Marc, having headquarters at Grand Saline, ebout 23¢ miles from the entrance to St. Mare harbor. It consists of the Toussant l'Ouver- ture, Dessalines, Belize, and three small gun- boats. These ships have bombarded Cape Haytien, Gonaives, and St. Marc—the last two — of times, with the result of illing one woman and wounding six or seven people. No damage was done to property. BLOODSUCKERS PROLONG THE WAR. In none of these places does there seem to be a desire to have hostilities end. The men in power on both sides draw large salaries as long as the war continues, and as their method of fighting brings no hardships to themselves they prefer to keep up the seeming fight rather than run the risk of losing salary, occupation, and possibly life by defeat in batile. The governments have no difficulty in bot- | rowing money enabling them to pay large | sularies and high prices for war material. This | money is advanced by the bankers and mer- chants at a high rate of interest—tfrom 20 to 75 | pet cent. They receive bonds in return, and | these bonds are good, no matter which side wins, and are taken in payment of import and | export duties. The trade is chiefly carried on | by foreigners, who buy logwood, coffee, cotton, *-. with the depreciated currency of the country, one dollar in gold being worth $1.30 to $1.40 in paper, while they import stores, porvisions, arms and ammunition, which they sell at fancy prices. All this does not bear so heavily upon the people in the seaport towns, who ere given employment and get whatever they need, as upon the Poor, and ignorant classes in the country. When fighting sto) business is at a standstill, the country is in acbt and there is general suffering. LEGITIME RECOGNIZED ABROAD. The French aud English governments have recognized Gen. Légitime, and their ships no longer visit the northern ports. German yes- sels also have orders either from their govern- ments or owners not to touch at these ports, The government of San Domingo recognizes Legitime, and no longer allows arms and am- manition to be landed for transshipment to this northern government, thus leaving all the trade with American ships. The United States by not recognizing either government as a bone fide one and refusing to acknowl- edge « paper blockade enables her ships to supply whatever is needed. In a commerciai sense this is a great advantage. Knowing, however, that to use this advantage prolongs the war. begets a spirit of usury and fosters the Worst vices and passions of these people. 207. Then and Now. When Washington was President, As cold as any icicle, He never on a railroad went, And never rode a bicycie. He read by no electric lamp, Nor heard about the Yellowstone; He nev. ‘ked & postage stam, And never saw a telephone.

Pretty much | been Persistent Office-Seekers. From the Indianapolis Journal. Called by the people to an office of great re- sponsibility, to the duties of which he was comparatively strange, and confronted imme- diately by new and complicated questions of domestic and foreign policy, which required investigation before he could act upon them, his (the President's) time and attention have been almost entirely absorbed and monopo- lized by office-seekers and those recommending people for office. Not only have they made it almost impossible for the President to investi- gate important questions of public policy and acquaint himself with the current affairs of the government, but they have even begrudged him the time for « little deliberation in making his selections from the army of applicants for office, so as to avoid making bad appointments. Even for this he has been criticised by the office-seekers and essional dispensers of patronage. It is Pye and disgrace. The wonder is not that the President should at last have protested in a mild and dignified way against the persistence of the oftice-hunters and the unjust criticisms of the administration, but that he should have shown so much moderation and self-control under the treatment and criti- cisms to which he has been subjected. Under our system of government and politics an incoming administration wi!l always have to make many changes among office-holders, but in the interest of good government and pro- gressive civil service reform it is absolutely necessary that the President and his heads of departments should be allowed time for deliber- ate and intelligent action. No person can doubt, and we presume no person does doubt, that the President is an ardent republican, anxious to promote the interests of the party in every proper and legitimate way. But he would in- eur the censure of all good citizens and the condemnation of history if he should convert the Presidency into on executioner’s office, and make himself the chief headsman of a party instead of the chief executive of a nation. The best record for him, and the best reeommenda- tion for the republican party, is to have it said ah the end of four years that the government is in better condition than it was when he as- sumed office, public affairs in better shape, the civil service more efficient, the laws better en- forced, the great business interests of the coun- try further advanced and better protected, and our foreign and domestic affairs in better shape. ‘These are the tests by which an administration should be judged, and they are the ends at which President Harrison will aim. He will not shrink from the judgment of bis country- men by these standards, and he is right in di precating premature criticisms from the office- seekers and farmers of official patronage, aie aan eae THE AMERICA’S CUP. The Rumored Declination Probably Due to a Blunder of Some Kind. From the New York Evening Post. New York yachtsmen are unable to under- stand the reason of the alleged declination of the terms offered by the America’s cup com- mittee by Lord Dunraven. They cannot un- derstand what his objections to their conditions can we. They are awaiting something official before talking authoritatively upon the sub- jeet, and such news cannot be got at present, A prominent yachtsman, in talking with a re- porter of the Evening Post, said that there was little in the letter sent to Lord Dunra- ven by the committee which he could find fault with. He had asked for five races instead of three; that had been granted. He had men- tioned dates upon which he wished to sail, and the committee had suggested other dates; but there were only three days’ difference. In re- gard to Lord Dunraven’s suggestion as to out- side races, acceptance was readily given. ‘The kind of races was agreed to. and no fault could be found with that clause. The suggested distance of 40 miles was left open, the commit- tee saying that they preferred 30 miles, but if he wanted to sail 40 miles there would be no objection. The time limit had been set at seven hours, as in previous races for the cup, and the committee said, in regard to Lord Dunraven's request for a six-hour limit. that it was proba- bly a clerical error in the challenge. Rules in regard to accidents, etc., would be made assng- gested, and the details would be as satisfactory as in former races. The oniy point upon which there was any disagreement was that of time allowance. Lord Dunraven had suggested a mean between the rules of the British yacht | clubs and the New York Yacht club, but had said that he would accept the latter. To this | the committee had answered that the former | ces had been sailed under the rules of the York club, and this one would be also. he gentleman said that he could hardly be- | lieve it possible that a man cf Dunraven’s rep- | utation as @ sportsman could find anything to objecttoin the letter of the Am committee accepting the challen rumors which had crossed the the Volunteer was named as matched against the Valkyrie, had reached | Dunraven’s ears, and in a letter to London | Field he had said that he was prepared to meet | her. The gentleman concluded that it was his opinion, as well as of many of his friends, thet there was a blunder somewhere, which could be easily righted. a oe SIR RICHARD ANNOYED. Parnell Not Shaken on His Severe Cross-Examination. After Tae Sran’s report closed yesterday the cross-examination of Mr. Parnell continued through « mass of detail with the object of showing that he must have known of the plots to commit murder. Nothing, however, was elicited from the witness to show that he was in any way connected with the fenians or that he had any knowledge of murderous conspir- acies. Attorney-General Webster cited menacing speeches nrade by W. Redmond. Mr. Parnell listened to the attorney-general, and remarked that old heads could not be put on young shoulders. Again pressed by counsel as to whether he had ever denounced outrages, Mr. Parnell reud extracts from speeches delivered by him in 1889, such as “Let us remain within the law and constitution;” “I hope the people will not be tempted to imitate the violence and illegal attitude of the government;” “The league is perfectly peaceable and constita- tional, and there is nothing behind it.” Mr. Parnell further said that in 1880 he denounced the shooting of agents as unneces- sary and prejudicial where there was a suitable league organization, but admitted that such denunciation was insufficient to stop snch out- rages. He denied that he was responsible for the violence of the articles which appeared in United Ireland, and said that Mr. O'Brien had supreme control of that paper. , Mr. Parnell’s friends express’ themselves as highly satisfied with the result of his cross- examination thus far, and compliment him warmly on his tilt with Attorney-General Web- ster. The opponents of the Irish cause com- ment on the forgetfulness which the witness displayed with regard to matters that were sup- 'd to be well known to every one, But Mr. nell simply refused to state positively what he did not know positively. Mr. Parnell, even on the most vital points connected with the Irish question, preserved the same cold, calm demeanor which has character- ized his conduct throughout, often making hu- morous points at the expense and very greatly to the annoyance of Sir Richard. Indeed, the latter visibly lost his temper, and betrayed him- self to the ridicule of the entire assemblage in the court-room by his ignorance of Irish affaire, Lord and Lady Coleridge, Lord Anson and sey- eral other distinguished persons were present, so that Webster's discomfiture and Mr. Parnell’s quiet triumph at all points were particularly exasperating to the learned member of the Sal- isbury administration, who was trying to en- tangle and crush the great leader. The cross- examination is Ce epee to last one day longer, Archbishop W: will follow Mr. Parnell on the witness stand. He will make an excellent witness for the defense, and put the tories to the blush, if they have any shame, by his dis- closures of political deals. The papers continue to comment upon the futility of the attorney- general's examination of Mr. Parnell, and all appear to agree thet he is injuring even the remnant of a cause that the Times might have, Her Body Turning to Stone. ‘Miss Wilhelmina Stahl, the young woman pro- nounced dead by the physicians who attended her, but believed by her mother to be still alive, still remain unburied. Dr. Moore made ® careful examination of the body and reports that its condition is grad the direction of decomposition, definitely ‘ts have made for the burial, though the family are at last convinced the girl is dead beyond a doubt. the relatives now that excited in the case deposit the body s Than a Son of Mars. From the United Service. If asked in what does the physical training of the American soldier consist, the writer should be compelled to answer that, other than a modi- cum of drill, there is none. To laymen this declaration may be astounding, but it is not the less true. The dangerous and difficult duty which falls to our troops upon the western plains is not, properly speaking, physical train- ing, which should precede and fit them for that service. In recreative exercises we are, too, sadly deficient. With the exception of an oc- casional game of base-ball, in which possibly 3 per cent of the command participate, how rarely do we see our enlisted men engage in any out-door sports or pastimes! As for educational exercises, none are pre- scribed. Swimming, which is both recreative and educational and should be compulsory, is seldom practiced, even when the opportunity offers. 6 ne’ joined recruit is put through the “setting w) nd squad drill for a week or two, by which time he gets his Springfield rifle, and owing to the scarcity of men often goes on guard before he has learned to salute oes. ‘This scarcity is principally due to the small companies and scattered condition of our little army and in part to the large number of men employed on extra and daily duty. e latter practice is the bane of the service. The soldier's former occupation is entered upon his descriptive list at the time of enlistment, and, if a carpenter, blacksmith, tinner, brick mason, plumber, painter or teamster, the post quartermaster has him detailed on extra or jaily duty in that capacity before he has learned to depress his toes. If a farmer or baker he becomes the victim of the post treas- urer and peas his enlistment in the post gar- den or bakery. A clerk, and his own captain (oe oles him to make out the company papers, unless, indeed, the post adjutant forestalls him and puts the man at work upon the post re- turns. This officer, if adjutant of his regiment, is on the alert for recruits with musical tastes (whom he assigns to the regimental band) and printers, The post surgeon lays in wait for two or more quiet men of neat appearance and negative qualities for hospital attendants, and those who are not detailed as company cooks and kitchen assistants become the grey of the post police officer, and pass their days in digging ditches and raking dead leaves. Our soldier is every- thing but a soldier. Verily, instead of the de- vice of crossed cannon, sabers, or rifles, by which the several arms of the service are dis- tinguished, he should bear a shovel salient athwart a rake rampant, fession or occupation, s ‘ About Boiling Clothes * and Disease-Breeding Germs article in American Analyst, says: “The dirt and ail soap must be entirely re- # moved from the interstices of the clothes, and all mi- crobes must be destroyed. The only and easiest way to do this is by heating the water in which the clothes are contained to the boiling e™ point. Dr. H. M. Lassing, in an The boiling water, by constant self-agitation, is forced through the inter- stices of the fabrics, and thus cleanses them from dirt and disease-breeding microbes as they can be cleansed in no other way, and without in any manner zxjuring the fabric.” James Pyle’s Pearline will wash in hot or cold, hard or soft water, and by any of the so-called “new labor-saving methods ;” but for the easiest and best way of washing, refer to the directions for washing by boil- ing given on back of each package of Pearline. 42 Beware of Imitations.

The board of review of the National Trotting association in Chicago yesterday found M. D. Downing, of Boston, owner of Champion John L., guilty of trotting Champion out of his class, and ordered him to refund all money won where he trotted in aclass over 2:26. The complaint seems to have been substantiated that Champion is the famous Prince of 2:26 fame, Similar finding was made against H. C. Cressler, of Tipton, lowa, for trotting Bashaw in the 2:38 class, when he had been rated at 2:37, —— ——— Carnegie Helping the Strikers. The strikers at the Allegheny bessemer steel works at Duquesne are elated by the receipt, through their finance committee, of $1,000 from Andrew Carnegie and €500 from Capt. Jones, superintendent of the Edgar Thomson steel rail mil, The latter promises to furnish more money if itis needed. The Allegheny besse- mer steel works is running in opposition to arnegie, and is making an effort to secure labor at about half what Carnegie is paying. With Carnegie to back them the strikers feel | confident of victory. A majority of the carpenters and joiners in Pittsburg, who struck Weduesday, returned to work yesterday, their demands being granted. The stonemasons are still out. — ‘2 They Would Not Enter the Prison Van. While Dr, Tanner, Mr. O'Connor, and Mr. Condon, members of parliament, whose sen- tences under the crimes act were confirmed yesterday, were being removed to Clonmel jail, they refused to enter the prison van.

He thera agreed to go to Binghamton with the girl and marry her. The party, accompanied by the officers, left for Binghamton on the midnight train, and Smith ae Miss Rhodes were mar- ried by a Binghamton’minister at 2 o'clock in the morning.
