v EAI9KD VP AND LET DOWN IIV
BLACK EYED GIRL.
The following is a Birmingham, Ala.,
- v special to the Atlanta Constitution:
7. --r-r- Columbus H. Johnson, formerly a. law
yer in Atlanta, but now a Birmingham
sawmill man. is now bemoaning his fate.
a ' Ha fell in lore with a lovely black-
eyed country girt, near his mill, nntl they
r fixed It up t marry. They were to have
gone to Atlanta by the excursion last
Saturday night, and Johnson bought licr
t. an outfit In which she was to marry him
. V " on Sunday at the capital. They got to
' " the union depot here, hut the girl changed
- her mind before the train pulled out.
Johnson only sobered up tonight, and
- ; bow wants his friends to know that a
s man who once practiced law in Georgia,
'"iT has been raised up and lot down ,hy the
treachery of a black-eyed girL ...
J ''''',, It would be a satisfaction to have
somewhat fuller particulars of this mutter
in order to know to Just what extent
' ' Mr. Johnson deserves to lio sympathized
: ? wlth. For instance, if ho is a man of
sufficient capacity to conduct a success
ful sawmill business, he is cnt itled to no
sympathy at all, for a person who can
ran a saw mill without going broke, has
ability enough, if ho will keep solicr, to
hold hit own with a girl even a black
cyeed girl. But if he quit the law on the
strength of one of these mathematical
calculations showing how much money
- can be made out of a sawmill, then he is
T- A jay whom almost any sort of a girl
jflid have played for a trousseau.
There is another point on which the
narrative iscloudy. -."Johnson " we are
told, "only sobered up tonight." The
' "unmistakable inference from this state
. raent Is that at somo previous period he
had yielded to stl-nulauts "splritous,
vinous or malt liquors," to use
the language of the statutes.
Now at what period? If he was sober
when he proposed to the black-eyed girl
that they go on an excursion to get mar
ried, and sober when be proposed to her
, that they get married on Sunday, the,n'
P and In that cane (or, speaking moe eor.-
tiy, in 1 raei. the gin was per-
- feet lr justifiable in accepting his finery
and then souring on him; for a sober
. saw-mill man who would make both of
" these propositions to the stmo girl,
proves thereby that he .has no proper
conception of the dignity of matrimony;
but if he was drunk at tho time, these
preposterous 'suggestions should have
been, in all charity, charged Tip to his
inebriety and tho black-eyed girl should
Javq, as a self respecting black-eyed girl,
scorned them, or having acceuVd toUiem,
should have stood up to the contract.
.With the meagre facts at hand we bard
ie i know on which sido our sympathies

We, it is out of the question to consider
v I, giving a verdict against a girl of tlie sort
escribed; and yet there is something in
thebreer.y frankness of Mr.Johnson and a
certain felicltousncss in his admission
that he'a man who once practiced law
In Georgia," had been ''raised up, and. let
down" by a "black-eyed girl," that rath

that after he shapes up the girl will re

Gen. Barring er Makes Another valnable
Donatio t tlie Literary and Library A
oclatlon of Charlotte.
Dear Mrs. DxwKf, Librarian, etc. !
1 am most haonv to present you with
nnnther lot of old relics in the way of
antiquated newspapers, this time from
Mrs. Dr. J. P; Strong, of the Charlotte
Democrat, and some of which far anti-
date those donated by Mrs. Bolton. The
oldest and one now very rare is the "Rat
eiirh Keiri&ter" of March 19. 1804. I also
note the "Catawba Journal" as far back
as 1826: the "Mecklenburg - Jeff er-
sonlan" of 1841 : the Carolina Republican
of 1850, and the "Lincoln Courier" of
1851 ; besides many copies of the Faycttd
viile Observer ana (NC.Btandard in
different years. , " -All
this shows what can be done in the

The "Raloigh Register", of 1804, has
some personal interest for people in
Charlotte. It had first been foundod by
Joseph Gales, who had been editor of
the "Sheffield Times" and had been forced
to flee Great Britain on account of his
liberal sentiment and supposed connec
tion with the Irish rebellion of 1 798 0.
lie determined to make his way to Amer
ica, but so suddenly was he warned of
his danger that he barely had time to
reach the continent, where he left his
family until he himself could come to the
United States and arrange for them to
follow. His means were veiy limited,
and he placed the wife and children at
the little town of Altona, opposite the
great city of Hamburg. While there a
daughter was born, and in token of the
extreme kindness shown the helpless ex
ile and his family, the daughter was
called Altona in memory of the Refuge
Home. ,
When Mr. Gales earae to North Caro
lina he found a warm friend and admirer
in Mr. William Smith, of Charlotte, a
well to-do citizen of our then struggling
little village. In time civilities passed
between the families, and. Mrs. Smith
named a daughter after Altona Gules.
Tills daughter f Mrs. Smith afterwards
became Mrs. Altona Boyd, tho wife of
Dr. J. I). Boyd, long so prominent in
Charlotte life. And from this singular
incident of the history -of "old Jo Gales,",
the name of Altona has spread all over
this Slate and section." Ilis little paper

wards, with his son, Jo. Gales, Jr., ana
son-in-law W. W. Seatoh, founded the
Washiniiion National Intelligencer. But
the old exile himself always preferred the

I think the Charlotte' Library and Mu
seum most fortunate in securing such a
relic, and should voto Mrs. Strong
"hearty thanks."

8UHK TALK ABOUT 8II.VKK.
Not No Much of It In WaHhlngton as There
Was-Clomire Not Probable.
WaehliiK 'ii CorifKpowlont Kichmond--Dispatch.
There isn't so much talk about, silver
as there was. However, that is due to
the fact that tho bill has gone to tho coin
age committee, and nothing more will be
done until the measure is reported to the
House. The committee on rules can be
depended on to report a spocial rule fix
ing a day for consideration, but there is
no evidence that the Speaker and Messrs.
Calchihga and MoMUliR will bring in a
closure resolution unless a majority of
the Democratic members make the writ
ten request, and that is not likely to be
the case. Tho more ardent silver advo
cates are urging this plan, but it is hard
ly probable that ft majority will favorauy
sudijicpartijrc. ; ;
. . ANT1-S1LVEUITK KXl'Kl TATIONH. '
The anti-silver Democrats claim con
fidently that they will muster votes
enough to beat tho bill squarely on its
morlts whent comes up, but this is de
nied by prominent gentlemen on the
other side. A few of tho silver advo
cates admit, though, that tho tiling will
be very closd, and they nro not sanguine
of success, especially as so many mem
bers heretofore voting for free coinage
are now secretly aiding the "antis" to
either beat the bill or postpone consider
ation of the question unlil'ui xt win

Tho Virginia and North Carolina
Democratic members, if a square voto is
reached, will, in all probability, voto sol
idly for free coinage, liecausc the senti
ment in both States is strong, and the
platforms on which they were nominat
ed doclarod uncquivocably for freo coin

question If they desired, nud especially

NORFOLK DISTRICT CONTEST.
Somo of the Virginia Republicans now
in tho city state that there will be a live
ly contest in the Norfolk district for the
nomination for Congress among the Re
publican aspirants. K-Congressman
Bowden wants the nomination again,
and thinks be is fairly entitled to it.
He will probably start in with tho Nor
folk and Princess Anno delegations.
Ex-Congressman Harry Libbcy is not
averse to taking tho nomination, and
Elizabeth county is claimed for him.
Colonel Clay, of Newport News, is also
spoken of as a candidate, and so is Dick
Wise, of Williamsburg.
. TUB-DEMOCRACY IN COMMAND.
The Democrats had everything their
own way in tho House today, and put
some tariff bills through with a rush un
der a suspension of th; "rules. They have
a quorum here now, and strenuous ef
forts will be made to hold the members

' Nkw York, July S.-J-There is another
"Bowery" now. It is at Coney Island
and is called "West Brighton." It con
tains beer, painted women and the fakir.
The two sides of the street are lined
with concert halls. At the entrance to
each I a Bcreen there is no -front door,
A strong-lunged tough stands before the
BCrcen and yells continually -"Free show,,
gents t Step right in. Don't cost you
nothinto see the show 1" If you go in,
you will see a stage at the far end of the
place with song anddance "artists" of
both sexes thereon, tbe softer sex lightly
clad in bright-hued stockings and ab
breviated Mother JJubbards. At the
tables' tn the hall, if ,the day is hot. will
be. crowds of men and women of the
tough kind mostly, with here and there
an innocent faced countryman a flashily
dressed young buck, a stranger from
another city seeing the sights of New
York, perhaps a few college boys. They
are all drinking beer or something strong
er ; for though it costs you nothing to
get in, it costs you something to stay.in
and now-anituen it costs you all you
have to get out. He who, late at night,
for rns'tance, wanders alone in one of
those places and takes enough to drink
to' maWh
to strangers unusually awakes in a strange
place at the peepo' day or later and finds
himself "on his uppers," his cash having
been gently abstracted from him by the
lovely syren with the honest eyes whom
he trusted. Besides the coneert halls,
there are in the Bowery other things, such
as merry-go-rounds, photograph galler
ies, games of chance, etc. But it is not
only because of its Bowery that Coney
Island is interesting this year; it is also
because of John G. McKane. For this
is a political year.
nK WAS ALLOWKD TO NAME HIS MAN?
And who is John G. M' Katie? He is
the-boss of Gravesend, in which town
ship is Coney Island. Gravesend always
votes according to the pleasure of Mr.
M'Kane. In 18H4 it gave Cleveland
about 400 votes more than it gave Blaine.
Soon after thai M'Kane quarreled with
the leaders of the'Kings county Democ
racy and so in 1888 Gravesend gave to
Harrison nearly 500 votes more than it
gave Cleveland. The President of the
United States thereupon rewarded the
"Boss" of Coney Island by allowing. him
to name his man for United States Mar
shal. In 1800 the Boss was still Benja
min's friend, and caused the Democratic
candidate for sheriff to be beaten by
nearly 800 votes, although that candidate
was a man held in LiiirG esteem by Ills
fellow citizens. Then the wily leaders of
the Kings county Democracy began to
repent them of their uuarruL with. .John
G. and forthwith made overtures of
peace. The election of 1801 was at hand.
John G. softened. He told the leaders
that, he had already promised to give the
vote of his town to the Republican State
ticket, but that the Democratic county
ticket should have his support. Sure
enough, the Republican Stateticket beat
the Democratic, so far as Gravesend was
concerned, by about 2,000 votes, and the
Democratic, count v ticket heat the Itentil)-
lican by about the same number. This
year Boss M'Kane announces that be
will support Cleveland, which menus that
Coney Island will give him about 8,000
more votes than it will ewe Harrison,
for John G.'s voters have increased
mightily in numbers in the last four
years.
IT BHINOS IN MANY SHEKELS.
If you want to know how Mr, McKane
can do sucn womiertui tmnRS, you will
have to ask the men who run the concert
balls and merry-go-rounds and games of
chance every day and Sunday too (es
pecially Sunday too) on tho Coney
Island Bowery. 1 he privilege of run
ning these tluugs is wortn a good many
shekels. Now, if you knew John G.
McKane, you understand, and wanted to
sell a little beer, say, or the Coney
Island Bowery on week days and Sun
days, it might be arranged, if you really
knew John O. McKane well, don t you

In numbers and enthusiasm this con

it is like them in nothing else. And the
subjects t'mt arouse enthusiasm are diff
erent. For instance, tho more mention
of the word "piohlbition" provokes the
wildest cheers, and tho proposition that
the World's Fair at Chicago should be
closed on Sundays arouses stormy an
plauso. None of the delegates, moreover,
are full of other things than enthusiasm,
barring soda water and lemonade. These
beverages, and ice cream and sandwiches,
arc found in abundance in tho banquet
room adjoining the great amphitheatre.

CARNCGIE DECLINES TO TALK.
A Strong Feeling In Aberdeen Agalnat Ac
cepting Ilia Recent Gift.
London. Julv 7. A correspondent haj
been tracing Mr. Andrew Carnegie since
yesterday with the object of getting his
views about tue struggle at Homestead.
Mr. Carnegie was found at length, this
afternoon, at Breamar in Aberdeenshire.
He appeared to be in excellent health.
but was evidently laborinsr under irreat
agitation," so much so that Mrs. Carnegie,
wno was present, was endeavoring; to
soothe him, and to- draw-tls thoughts
away from the tragic affair at Home
stead. .'
Mn Carnegie positively declined mak
ing any statement whatever. Hethas,
within the last day or two, sent and re
ceived numerous disbatchea bv cable, and
there IS -no doubt that Mr. Carnegie is
kept iuuy informed or events on the Mo
nongahela. 1 he news of the struggle at Homestead
has aroused deep feeling in England and
Scotland, and has considerably abated
the esteem among the working classes
for Mr. Carnegie. He has never been
liked bv the nnner classes, not because of
his plebeian origin, but because, although
an American citizen, he -persistently in
terferes in lintisn affairs, and oilers ad:
vice to the British people about their own
business. The upper classes are not sor
ry.lJiat.4fe,Carnegle's Utopian descrip
tions of the kind orDemocracf hff wOuld
like to establish have received a practical
illustration from America.
There is strong feeling in Aberdeen
against the acceptance of Mr. Carnegie's
recent gift. The Aberdeen people, high
and low, are very proud of their city and
its history, and they do not like the idea
of the city council catering to Carnegie,
whom many of them regard as a west of
Scotland parvenu, unworthy of recogni
tion in Aberdeen. This feeling is very
strong, and, coupled with the prejudice
aroused among workingmcn, may result
in a formal protest against the honors to
Carnegie.
Blgnlltcant Political Straws.
Philadelphia Times.
Two important State conventions held
on Wednesday present significant straws
as to the drift of politics in the West and
in the Bouthr
The Democratic State convention of
Kansas indorsed the People's electoral
ticket by the overwhelming vote of 390 to
38, and then accepted ami indorsed the
whole People s State ticket uy a very
large majority. This action makes Kan
sas, with her largest Republican majority
given by any State in 1888, more than
doubtful for the Republicans. It fore
shadows the next to certain election of
the Weaver electors, and the probable
defeat of the entire Republican State
ticket.
On the same day the Republicans of
Arkansas held their State convention and
under the leadership of Ex-Senator Clay
ton, they refused to fuse with the f eo
ple's party either on presidential electors
or State candidates. A straight Republi
can ticket was nominated, which appar
ently assures the election of the Demo
cratic ticket. Had the Republicans fused
with the People's party in Arkansas as
the Democrats fused in Kansas, the De
mocratic State ticket could have been de
feated and the electors probably taken
from Cleveland.
As these are the first State conventions
held in the West and South since the
presidential nominations have been made,
it is likely that their example will be gen
erally followed in their respective sec
tions. Tbe Western States will generally
present a fusion between the Democrats
and PeopIeV party on electors, while
there is little probability of the Republi
cans of the South generally fusing with
the new organizatlotirTho ghost of tbe
force bill is yet abroad in the South, aud
that doubtless explains the failure to fuse
the opposition to Cleveland in the inter
est of Harrison.
They Mont Go.
Richmond Dispatch.
Yes, "tho Pinkortons must go." They
constitute an organization unknown to
tho laws of the country. The organi
zation exists, or existed, in fact, in vio
lation of the constitution. Tho military
militia proper were superseded by these
Pinkcrtons. They performed the work
not of detectives, but of soldiers. They
assumed the character of ordinary police
force, but this character did not belong
to them, for they worein reality aoldjers.
They were used to supersede the local
police the peaceful police aud were
known to be belligerent policemen. In
a word, there is no place for the Pinker
tons in this country. Tho best defini
tion of dirt is that it is matter out of
place The Pinkertons are, like that
sort of matter, out of place.
