Democratic Prospects.
Gov. Butler talks as if he had at last
concluded that he was no longer a Presi
dential possibility. His defeat in Novem
ber appears to have had a dampening
effect on his White House aspirations. He
says that he is not in the councils of either
party, but nevertheless has his views re
specting the political outlook. There can be
only two issues, in his opinion, in the
next national contest. One is the. sec
tional issue, which the Republicans are
making. The other is the tariff reform
issue, which the Democrats are making.
With respect to the prospects of the
Democratic party he says: “They
are good. Are there.not 26 Demo
cratic Governors in 26 Democratic
State-? Are there not a hundred
and ninetv odd Democratic Congressmen
to 120 Republicans? That is almost a
two-thirds majority in the States and in
the House, and who shall doubt the suc
cess of a party, with this tremendous
power behind it. at the opening of a tight?
1 see that Republicans think that Con
gress is liable to fritter away its strength
with the people at this session. That
seems to be the Republican lorlorn hope.
Well, it hasn’t done anything yet to frit
ter away Its strength, and we have no
right to jiresume that it will do any
thing.”
Butler may not have very good eyes,
but there are few politicians who see the
strong and weak points of a political con
test as quickly and clearly as he does.
His statement of the prospects of the
Democratic party for success in ’B4 is
not only encouraging, but is, perhaps,
more satisfactory' than any other that has
lieen made. The Democratic party cer
tainly lias the inside track in the coming
contest, and there is no apparent reason
whv it should not keep it. If the Demo
cratic majority in the House acts as
wisely throughout the session as it did in
the election of a Speaker, it will have a
record that will help to win a national
victory next year.
Tire South Carolina Railroad Law.
The question of the hour in South Caro
lina is, shall the Railroad Commission
act stand as it is, or shall it be modified?
One year ago this act was passed. It
was modeled after the Georgia Railroad
Commission act. It places great powers
in the hands of the Commissioners. There
is no complaint that these Commissioners
have not proven themselves to be honest
and capable. Nevertheless, the railroad
corporations of the State are dissatisfied,
and are determined to have the powers of
the Commissioners curtailed to the ex
tent ot permitting the railroads to fix their
own travel and traffic rates.
The bill modifying the original
act has passed the House and
is now before the Senate. What that body
will do appears to be as yet a matter of
conjecture. It is admitted that the rail
roads of the State last year made little or
no money. The friends of the roads claim
that the cause was the rules and regula
tions enforced by the Railroad Commis
sion. Be that as it may, the railroads are
now making strenuous exertions to strike
out of the law the feature which is most
oppressive and obnoxious to then). Y 47..,
that which takes awtvy Trom them the
power 19-regulate their own charges.
MaiW of those who were the most earnest
advocates of tlic law a year ago are now
working in the interest of the railroads.
The argument used in favor of limiting
the powers ol the Railroad Commis
sion is that capital w r ill not
into the State to build railroads as
long as there is authority lodged
in a commission to fix the rates and make
railroad property unremunerative. The
way to bring about cheap rates, it is said,
is to encourage competing lines. The
present law, however, not only destroys
all prospects of competing lines or any
new lines, but promises to ruin those
already in existence. That there is force
in these arguments it must be conceded,
but is it a fact that the bad business ot
the past year was due to the acts of the
Railroad Commissioners ? Those who want
the present law say that it has not yet
been given a fair trial, and that a year is
too short a time to test it. The light busi
ness of last year, they say, was due to
short crops and a consequent fall
ing off in freights. It the South Caro
lina roads succeed in their effort
to get such a modification of the law as
will give them the right to fix their own
transportation rates, it is not improbable
that an efi’ort will be made by the roads
in this State to throw off the yoke ot the
Commission. While there is no complaint
respecting the individual members ot the
Commission, the roads are not partial
to the institution, and are restive under
its restrictions. The progress of the
struggle of the South Carolina roads will
be watched with interest.
A Haiti on the Treasury.
Mr. Holman, of Indiana, is known in
Congress as the “great objector.” He ob
jects in and out of season to measures for
getting money out of the Treasury. It is
probable that he has checked a good many
small raids on the Treasury and saved
the government thousands of dollars, lie
has an opportunity now to still farther
distingush himself in the way he has
marked out for himself and in which he
has made his reputation. The Republican
employes of the last House are asking
that one month’s "extra pay be given them.
Several influential Democrats are work
ing with the Republicans to put
through a resolution* making an appro
priation for this extra compensation. The
amount that will be required is about
125,000. Unless Holman objects the reso
lution will be adopted. A committee of
those interested called on the “great
objector” and begged him for once to keep
quiet. He replied that he saw no reason
why $25,000 of the peoples money should
be turned over to them. It may reasona
bly be expected, therefore, that he will
object when the resolution comes up for
consideration. And why shouldn’t he ob
ject? What claim have these employes
for extra compensation? At no time were
they worked hard, and the majority of
them half the time had little or nothing to
do. It is probable that many of them dur
ing the past summer were enjoying them
selves at summer resorts, or were engaged
in political work for their party. They
have been paid all that Congress agreed
to pay them, and Mr. Holman will be do
ing only what is right if he sets himself
against this gift scheme.
During the past few months the United
States mints have been under contract
with the Mexican Government turning
cut immense quantities of one, two, three
and five cent coins. These are being paid
out in Mexico in such amounts as to seri
ously embarrass the business of the
country. In Matamoras alone $15,000
were paid out one day last week in one,
two and three cent pieces. The soldiers
and government officials are obliged to
take them, but the merchants and citi
zens generally are refusing to receive
them. This state of affairs is causing
great dissatisfaction, and serious trouble
will be the result it some other currency
is not substituted at once. The Mexicans
are poor financiers, and the people think
the United States authorities have been
making a nice speculation out ef the
business of coinage and largely blame this
country.
The thousands of destructive fires that
occur every year in the cities and villages
of the country are calling attention to the
faulty construction of buildings all over
the land. In the best class of houses only
the walls and roofs are rendered partially
fire-proof, while the interior is almost in
variably of the most combustible mate
rial. This subject is becoming a serious
one, and it is time for builders to give it
the most earnest consideration. Floors,
ceilings, doors and windows must be made
of some fire-proof material, and the early
adoption of improved methods of building
houses is not only expected, but abso
lutely required. Hereafter houses must
be erected with a view to safety and per
manency.
The Cooper Union has printed a very
funny story of a discontented lobster,
who got into very serious trouble because
he desired to be red like some other fishes.
His wishes were gratified; but somehow
or other the incident forcibly calls to mind

ning the bloody shirt and admission to
fOLII fellowship in the Republican party.
Great Fortunes.
Is there danger to society in great for
tunes? is a question that is attracting
some attention in New Y'ork. Of course
nobody can answer such a question to the
satisfaction of everybody else. Those
who have succeeded, or are suc
ceeding, in making great fortunes,
will probably answer the question
in the negative, while many of those who
neither have nor expect to have a fortune
will answer it in the affirmative. The
number of great fortunes in this country
excites the wonder of Europe. The
growth of some of them has been
remarkably rapid. A half century ago
one hundred thousand dollars was thought
to be a handsome fortune. There are
many persons now who have an annual
income of that amount. If the great for
tunes increase aa rapidly in the next half
century as they have in the last half, it
will he no distinction to be known as a
millionaire. But as these great for
tunes increase, will not the number
of the very poor people increase? It
is believed that it will, and herein lies the
danger ot great fortunes. Their tendency
is to make a pauper class, and to make
the poor class dissatisfied with their con
dition. Dissatisfaction will lead to grave
evils, some of which we are just
beginning to get a glimpse of. If
the rich men would use their wealth
for the benefit of their fellow-men, great
fortunes might he great blessings. The
aim of rich men, however, appears to be
to continue to accumulate, not only for
the pleasure of the power which wealth
gives, but also for the prominence which
it confers. It would not be difficult to
limit the accumulations of corporations
by law, but it would be difficult to frame
a satisfactory law limiting the wealth of
individuals. The question relative to the
danger of great fortunes is certain to
grow in importance and interest.
The tramps of Virginia are wiser in
their day and generation than the honest
people of that State. At Hicksfoid last
week one of these vagabond excursionists
rushed into the village and reported that
he had discovered the body of a mail some
miles out. After giving him a good break
fast, he took a seat m a buggy with the
Coroner, and escorted by the town ph\ si
cian and twelve jurors, went triumph
antly on his way for several miles. They
finally reached a body of timber and be
gan the search for the corpse. Finding
nothing, and seeing they had been so bad
ly hoaxed, they determined to hold an in
quest over the tramp, but he had been so
zealous in his search for the body that he
could not he overtaken. The feelings and
remarks of that .crowd can be better
imagined than described.

Robbing Peter for Paul's Benefit.
Philadelphia Recurd (Ind.).
There are men who believe that the war
and the high tariff contributed to make the
country rich. These are they who cannot be
made to sec that a dollar taken out of a farm
er's pocket and put into the hand of the owner
of a salt mine lias added nothing to
the general stock of wealth; that a house
burned down or powder exploded is absolute
destruction and loss; and that no mau was
ever made better off by paying a part of his
income to some other man.

Rouge Dragon Pursuivants. But if they car
riel out this desire, iu would only be fair that,
instead of stealing from the old heraldic re

their own, even if they had to substitute hods
for shields, shoddy for ermine, and asses for
lions on their family eoats-of-arms.

their property to Chinamen even at $550 a
month more than others will pay.
Hollow steel shafting, which has come very
generally into use in Europe, even for such
heavy work as steamship propeller shafts, is
found to very much lessen the weight in pro
portion to the decreased strength. It appears,
for example, that a 10-inch shaft, with a hole
4 inches in diameter, has its weight reduced
16 per cent., with a loss of only 2.56 per cent,
of strength.

which is more than can l>c said of certain
other schemes for developing power.
The New York Central Railroad has estab

rates on all fares between New York ard
Poughkeepsie. It sells624trips (one each way

therefore, is a little over three mills a mile.
Tickets to Yonkers, fifteen miles, are sold at
the rate of about six mills a mile.
A net mike of “china stone” has been dis

owner refuses to sell. Preparations will be
madOLto get out enough of the stone for ex
periments, and if it proves to boas good as it
appears, it will be mined for the market in
New Jersey. There seems to he an inex
haustible amount of it.
The Calcutta Englishman, referring to the
Exhibition building in that city, says: “At
the west end of the restaurant is a refrigera

such corpus vile; it is intended for visitors,
who, when they become heated and tired from
sight-seeing, can rest and recruit themselves
bodily and physically in a temperature of 55
degrees. The walls are being hung with ap
propriate subjects, such as the ‘Snowy Range,’
•Spitzbergen, in the Winter,’ and the ‘Home
of the Laplander.’ The service of the table
will be in frosted glass, and visitors will greet
each other in the glacial tones of convention

Don Miguel White, whom the Los Angeles
Herald calls the first English-speaking settler
in Calfiornia, was born in Chiselhurst, Eng
land, in 1801. He landed in the Golden State
m 1817. His first venture in a schooner,
in which he traded with the Sandwich Islands
until the California revolution of 1830 diverted
his enterprise to the coast trade. Tiring of
the sea, he resumed his trade of carpentering
in Alta, Carforuia, and later he settled on a
ranch in San Diego county. Thence he moved,
in 1880, to Los Angeles, where he and his wife
are surrounded by their grandchildren and
great-grancliildren.
Oxe of the defunct industries of Detriot is
the manufacture of dog oil, which, it is only
fair to say, never reached colossal propor
tions. It was made by a man named Blake
ly under arrangement with the guardians
of’the dog pound, and was purchased chiefly
by veterinary surgeons, wno used it in the
compounding of a liniment. But $3 a gal
lon was all they would pay for it, and at
that price the business did not prosper. It
might be supposed that the dogs of Detroit
would breathe freer, now that this enter
prise has collapsed, but in reality it makes
little difference to them, for they were al
ways drowned before their surrender to Mr.
Bla'kely.

hunting at night". He failed, and the matter
came to the ears of a nephew of a man who

THOUSANDS OF LETTERS
In our possession repeat this story: I have
been a terrible sufferer for years with Blood
and Skin Humors; have been obliged to shun
public places by reason of my disfiguring hu

spent hundreds of dollars and got no real re

which have cured me, and left my skin and
blood as pnre as a child’s.
