J. WICHOIAOK, THJ QEESTTOS OP A BOYCOTT. We published Governor Gordon's letter on the proposed boycott yesterday. If the Northern people who control the National Government should per-gi as they have commenced, in using their power to oppress and smite the Southern people with wanton, vindictive, uncalled for and. wicked legislation, it would not be unreasonable that the masses of their victims should re taliate with a suspension of business relations with the North.
Many of our readers will remember how such a boycott worked in the first months of 1861, before hostilities and commercial non-intercourse between the sections had fairly set ia. The Southern people then for the first time realized that their rich section produeed nothing bnt raw material, and had not the means of supplying its population with any thine but the erude necessaries of life. At that time there was practically free trade with all foreign countries and until the blockade closed the ports, it was entirely possible to get all sorts of manufactured goods from Euiope, and it was not until foreign commerce was whollv cut ox that our people were eomnellad to betake themselves to homespun clothing and the rmde make shift manufactures that thenceforth until the close of the war did duty for personal wear and housabold nee. To-day. while our manufacturing is vastly mere extensive than it was in I860, it is by oomparisoa of the differ ence in manners of living in I860 and 1890, scarcely but then our ports are all open and all the shops and factories of the world are at our call, while our staple crop always commands the money of the richest nations in the world.
As a oonsequence, the situation is enormously to our advantage, com pared with what it was in 1861. The fact is. the Bo other people are the best customers and the most extensive buyers the Northern people ever did or ean have, and while it would not be easy, at once to cut off commercial relations with our Northern brothers, certainly the outflow of our money to them oould be materially reduced. We would find no difficulty in securing British capital to handle the cotton crop, and in this way a very large ohan nel of trade conld be cut off, while the exportation of the bulk of the cotton through our own ports would facilitate direct importations of such foreign manufactures as might be used to take the place of the Northern articles. A boycott in tue way ox summer travel would also divert an immense amount of money from the coffers of our Northern brethren.
To-day. a summer trip to Europe ean be made quite as cheaply as a jaunt northward and a corresponding stay at Northern water ing places. A large increase in direct foreign travel from and to Southern porta would bring into requisition numerous fast steamers fitted with pas- sen ger accommodations. In this con nection it is not superfluous to say that the voyage between Southern ports and Liverpool is free from the dangers of ice and collision so eommon in the foggy latitudes off Newfoundland and the Northern coasts, and it is in every way safer because the seas traversed are less subject to storms. In addition to all this, the highlands of Mexico.
with mountains perpetually snow crowned and their vernal valleys offer extraordinary attractions to tourists and travelers for health and pleasure. The Southern people have made enor mous strides since tne war in recover ing- their prosperity and they are yearly growing richer and more luxurious. Their commercial patronage is daily becoming more valuable, and if it were diverted to Southern and foreign destinations the merchants and manufac turers and hotel-keepers of the North-era Statee would suffer correspondingly. We are not counseling a boycott in the premises, bnt if the Southern peo ple should bo driven to it they could make it a most formidable weapon of defense. It may be premature to urge the necessity of such an act, but it is never too soon to oonsider what measures of self-protection may be available and to make them ready for any emergency.
The subject is one to be thought out and very seriously at that. DANtiUtOUS DIVISION. The internal eemfliete in the Demo cratie party in most ef the Souther States are attracting much attentioi from both the friends and enemies of the party. In several ef the States the agricultural classes are striving for the mastery and the fees of the party are regarding with intense interest the development of a struggle which they hope will end by breaking np the Southern Deinooraoy and with it the solid South. The Chicago Tribune, one of the most radical of the Bepubli-joan papers, in an extended article on the subject says The Alliance movement in tne Southern States is one ot tae moss noteworthy and elgnldeant political signs of the tunes.
It has been organised: by farmers ana repre- sent the revolt of the yceeaanry against oIms ana rinsr rale. Ite significance Ilea in tais. tnt in the states where the movement is pressed oaol vigorously the Republican are eat of power ana hare had no hand in legislation for years; henoe if there is a call fer reform is grows out of Ieniocratie oorruptiom aad abuses. There is no raoe issue in the Its Slatternis eontaln no indictments of Bepub-cane. It is an uprising ef the Democratic rank-and-file against Democratic leaders and rings, and represents dissatisfaction with the existing Stale Administrations.
What it will be able to accomplish time alene ean tell, but it oertainlr la making political campaign lu the South virulent as well as picturesque. In South Carolina the Alliance has split the Democratic party fairly in twain, although the nominating convention is two month away yet. Ia North Carolina the Alliance has gained almost complete control in every Congressional district. In Oeorgia it has had influence enough to force several straight-out Demooralio candidates for Congress out of the race and probably will dlotate the nomination for Governor, not, however, without making a serious division in the ranks. The opposition to the Alliance indeed Is not aa well organised a in South CaroUua.
and tha tralgut-out are in something like a panic, as their own candidate are bidding frantically lor Alliance nominations. In Arkansas the movement differs from those in the other Southern States, the Republican having ratified the nominations of the Wheel or Union Labor Party and Joined with it en a platform desseuainu- a free vote and a fair count. The combination Is a strong one. but whether it is strong enough te redeem Arkansas from Bourbon rale is a problem. The leaven of discontent is working also in Texas.
What may be the outoome ot this movement, it la difficult to ay. At present it ean be affirmed only that it Is formidable aad that it is a new aad slgnlflsant factor In the politics of that section which threatens to upset the dominant element ot the Bourbon. Nothing is said about Louisiana, bnt our State is not without its serious disorganizing influences. All this is not pleasing situation, in view of the ag gressive and proscriptave legislation against the South the are now forcing through Congress. If there was ever a time -when the Democracy of the Southern States should be thoroughly united, that time is the present.
Of course we exonerate the farmers combinations from a desire or thought of any oourse that ia intended to hurt the but they should see to it that no forces nor influences hostile to their section and it great interests THE DAILY PICAYUNE NEW ORLEANS, WEDNESDAY, JULY 23, 1890. should be allowed to fasten upon their movement, and thereby accomplish its malignant and damaging designs in spite of their wishes. GREAT BRITAIN AXD BEE3IUDA, The cession of the little island of Heligoland by Great Britain to Ger- many for the valuable consideration of an undisputed umisn protectorate over the highly important African island of Zanzibar, has induced a Boston journal topnblish a very remarkable article demanding that England now give up to the United States the island of Bermuda. The Boston journal in question states that as Bermuda is barely two days' rapid steaming from New York and is far removed from all British possessions it can be of little value to the British Empire, particularly as its commercial importance is not great and what trade it has is altogether with this country hence, in view of the donation of Heligoland to Germany as a markrf friendship to that Bermuda should be given to the United Statee as a pledge ef the sincerity of the many pre testations of brotherly feeling felt by England for this country. Our Boston oentemporary complains that instead ef giving us the small island, as we have a right to expeot, Great Britain has strongly fortified it with powerful forts and batteries, and maintains at all times a garrison of British troops there.
An immenee dry dock and repair station have also been established for naval vessels. The Bos ton journal term? this holding a pistol to tne neaa or tne united, tares, as such an impregnable fortress and base of supplies stands as a direct menace in case ef war to our entire eastern sea board. and ear leading porta. Our Boston contemporary fails to per ceive that there is a very large differ ence between the case of Bermuda and that of Heligoland. In the first place, Heligoland was ceded in return lor a valuable consideration, while we have nothing but our friendship to ofier in return for Bermuda.
Again the lltle island in the German Sea was of no value whatever to Great Britain even aa a strategical position. Bermuda, on the eontrary, is a vaiuame pos session in itself, and is, moreover, very useful as a stronghold and supply station. In fact, the island has been elaborately fortified and completes the system of protection to British com merce wnich is maintained with. so much care in every quarter of the globe. In the event of hostility on any part of the American continent Bermuda would afford Great Britain a convenient base from which to conduct naval operations while being amply secured from all possibility of success ful attack.
We can, therefore, have no claim on Bermuda, and Great Britain will certainly entertain no idea of giving it up to us or any othsr power. The fact that this powerful British fortress stands menacingly near our shores should, however, teach us the necessity of improving our own defenses and preparing a powerful navy. While we are virtuallyhelpless Great Britain has a stronghold at Bermuda, another at Halifax, north of us, and still others en the Paeifie Coast of British America. All theee things point to a wise system of preparation for possible contingencies, which we would do well to imitate instead of ridiculing. as our Boston contemporary seems to think it profitable to do.
A EEco*kD OF RECKLESS EXTRAYA 0ANC2. There now seems to be no doubt that the reckless appropriations made by the present session ef Congress have threatened the country, with a deficit in ite finances at the end of the present fisoalyear. Sven the Republicans admit that the expenditures are likely to exceed the reoeipts during the current year, and the leaders are becoming alarmed at the outlook. All sorts of calculations have been made to show the relative bearings of the authorized expenditures to the receipts, and all point to a deficit ranging from fl.000,000 to 150,000,000. Thus there is no room for doubt that the immense surplus which tor the past five or six years threatened the country with an embarrassment of riches haa entirely disappeared, and that instead we are now threatened with a defioit.
While the voters of the country were willing to so reduce the revenues as to check the accumulation of a surplus, it was never contemplated that the ex penses ef the Government should be se increased as to absorb all the resources of the country, aud more, thereby changing the enviable position we have held among the nations of the world, by possessing a larger revenue than we needed to assume a level with those countries which are compelled to add a yearly deficit to their national Had this enormous expenditure of money been authorized to meet some urgent national necessity there would be no reason to complain, but it is principally made up of appropriations for pensions which have degenerated into nothing more than a system of purchasing the votes for the Republican party1 of the so-called soldier element. When it is remembered that many hundred thousand names are carried on the pension rolls it will be understood to what extent this shame-lees purchasing ef votes has been carried. The extent to which this scandalous use ox public money has gone has aroused the country, and nowthat it has been demonstrated that the Re publicans have not hesitated to go to the length of creating a deficit in the treasury, in their anxiety to solidify themselves in power, it is believed that the whole country will he awakened to the stupendous infamy and injustice involved in this pension business. That the Republicans themselves have become alarmed at the probable consequence of their misuse of the pub-lio nnds is shown by the expressed opinions of such rabid Republican jonr'- nals as the New York Tribune, which recently announced it to be its belief that it was time to call a halt. The Republican leaders in Congress are nn-easy at the prospect, and are casting about for a remedy whereby the effect of the deficit may be smoothed over, or the difficulty altoeether averted.
(Some of these leaders have oronosed that the river and harbor bill be aban doned, which would cut down the ap prehended defioit by at least It is even nronosed. in eaae the Senate persist in passing the measure, to coerce the President into vetoing it. Among other remedial measures. Speaker Reed has put a stop to all fur- mer appropriations for public buildings. We believe that the people will strongly rebuke this reckless waste ef publio money by returning an overwhelming Democratic majority to Con gress at us eouung xall elections.
THE POSSESSION OP A CUTS STREETS Some days ago we referred editorially to the trouble experienced by the citizens of New York with certain corporations possessing franchisee through the streets of that city, among others the8team Heating Company. It has been that the pipes of that company continually caused explosions, and that as a oonsequence the company was eternally tearing up the streets. So great a nuisance did this system of continual repairs become, because of the interminable tearing up of the streets and consequent destruction of the pavement, that the people rebelled. The New York city authorities forbade the further tampering with the streets, but the corporation has simply ignored the authorities and has continued to tear up the streets regardless of pro-testa A very lively war has thas been precipitated over the possession of the metropolis, which may result in determining whether she people of a eity have really any rights that corporations are compelled te reepeet. As there is a very marked tendency on tie part of corporations ia this city to treat the public thoroughfares after the fashion ef she New York Steam Heating Company, as if they were private property, our people might watch the progress of the legal battle in-New York with profit.
Our city authorities might also piok np a few points on the subject of their rights and duties in the premises from the methods now being followed by the eity authorities of New York, the more particularly as there has been a strong tendeaoy among them of late te pattern their acts after what is done in other com munities. A Dead Hero. I. ait Wednesday there died across the river at Algiers, Lisntenant John M. Rhode of the revenue marine service.
So modest was tbe gallant offloer that few were even aware of his presence here. and. he passed away surrounded by only a few devoted friends. Although his praises were not sounded at the time of his death, his name will live among the heroes who have honored American manhood. Rhodes was the officer who displayed suoh daring bravery at the wreck of tbe steamship City of Columbus en the Devil's Bridge, a low, dangerous reef, at tbs western extremity of Martha's Tine-yard.
The vessel was from Boston for Savannah and ran on 'the reef on January is, 1SS4. Of nearly 100 passengers, only twenty-three were saved. Lieutenant Khodes was one of tbs oOoers of the revenue cutter Dexter, and as there was a high sea running the vessel could not get alongside the wreck. But Lieuten ant Rhodes went to the wreek In one ef the small boats, and lashing a line around him self, plunged into the sea and swam to the wreek to reseue two half-frozen passengers who were in tbe rigging. He had almost reached the stranded vessel wbsa he was terribly bruised by some of the wreckage, and his oompanlon drew him baek te the boat.
Recovering hi strength, and ignoring the pleading ef others that he should not again endanger his own life, he plunged in the sea and rescued the two people from the rigging. After that he had a long siege of sickness, and his death waa no doubt caused by this exposure. The Elections Force Bill.

Naturally the question Is being debated in all its phases aad the people are deeply interested. Mr. Edward Rose water, who is one of the leading advocates of hUh license in that state, appears te have missed the mark aimed at in a recent argument ia aver of tbe sale of intoxicating drinks.
He presented statistics showing that of 888 convlots in the Nebraska penitentiary 113 were total abstainers and 135 of the ethers were moderate drinkers. This, he said, tended to refute the argument that drunkenness was the chief cause ef crime Does it A convict does not have to be a drunkard or even a drinking man in order te be in the penitentiary on account of drunkenness. He may have robbed a drunken person most persons are drunk when they are robbed or he may have committed a murderous assault which grew ent ot a saloon brawL In tbe same way many bartenders do not drink, yet drinking is the cause of their being bartenders. Boacwater'a figures are Just about aa conclusive aa the figures ef those persons who seek to prove by saU tistlcs that the pabllo schools are the chief cause ot crime. In neither case Is It possible to convince the American people that the Inference drawn from the figure ia Justifiable.
A Washington dispatch says It turns eut that Sheppard White, the young forger who haa eut such a swell in Washington society this winter, la really a negro. White, since his arrest, and his friends, have denied this A letter from Boston to Bev. Jas. W. Clarke, an Episcopal minister here, states positively be ia a negro.
Mr. Clarke has known this for a long time, but has never taken the trouble to Inform any member of Washington society of the fact. White has been one of the lions of Washington society the past winter, and ia said to have been engaged to three different young ladles, whose fathers oooupyvery high official positions. The fact that he was received in the homes of the members of the cabinet, senators and representatives la ample testimony of tais tact. A number of photographs aad love letters from both married and single women who rank high in society here have been found in his room.
These have created a genuine sensation, and in order to keep these matters secret many offers, through attorneys, have been made to ball the young rascal. The names of who will go on his bond will not be divulged. The taooo bond which Is required will probably be put np In eash, and White will be made to leave the country. The men with whose daughters White haa been associating' feel outraged at the 'action of Bev. Mr.
