1.-*iall join in a good old rebel yell foi
President Nellie Arthur.
The pnd* ten papers are circulating a
paragraph to the effect that Mr. Fred.
si.~. of Birmingham, has denied the as
sertion that in*u can lie made m Alabama
Pf |jl 76 per ton. The facts of the case
arc that Moss' denial was only in the
nature of a plea of the general issue, as a
pri*H r who says “not guilty,” yet does
not dispute any particular fact, lie
woakl hardly deny that he swore before
the M-nate Committee on Education and
1 that iron could be made for less than
sl2 pur ton. If the protectionists want to
imjsmch the testimony of their own wit
ness just because the tariff reformers are
hading it serviceable, they ought to lay
the foundation in the proper manner, and
bring in the contradicting evidence in due
p,m. What the country wants is the
truth of the matter.
The House Committees.
Speaker Carlisle, it appears. Is having
considerable trouble in making up his
committees. There are too many mem
bers who want the important places. Of
course Mine of them must be disappointed.
When the committees are announced no
doubt there will be a good deal of grum
bling, and there will be a few perhaps
who will insist that the best men have
not been put in the most responsible
places. Speaker Carlisle is having the
same kind of experience that every
Speaker has had. He would lie fortunate
indeed If he succeeded in arranging bis
committees without making enemies.
Some of those who worked the most zeal
ously for his election doubtless were in
fluenced by selfish motives. They ex
peeted to be rewarded in the event of his
success. They are not to be seriously
censured for looking out lor themselves.
Men do that every day in every walk of
life, but they have no ground of complaint
if they fail in getting what they want.
Mr. Carlisle was made Speaker because
bis party associates thought he was the
l>est man for the place. He must
prove that their judgment was not
at fault by serving the country and
his party to the best of bis ability. He
would fail in the discharge ot his duty if
he were to give places to members simply
because they were his personal friends.
There seems to tie a good deal of feeling
because of the understanding that Mr.
llandall is to have the Chairmanship of
the Appropriations Committee. The con
test for the Speakership is over, and it is
the Speaker’s duty to heal, to the extent
of his ability, any differences that the
Speakership contest might have caused.
It would be the height of folly to under
take to ignore Mr. Randall because he
was an unsuccessful candidate for Speak
er. No doubt Mr. Carlisle would like to
| gratify his colleague. Mr. Blackburn, by
putting him at the head of the Appropria
, tions Committee, but by doing so would
1 the liest interests of the party be served?
If Mr. Blackburn were the liest man for
| the place there would then be some reason
for ap{*ointing him, but it eannot be said
j that he is Mr. Randall’s superior in any
; respect. Doubtless a majority of the
| members would like to 6ee Mr. Blackburn
at the head of the Appropriations Com
mittee because he is an able and popular
mail, but the Speaker is not to be guided
by the standard of popularity. When a
member is offered a place it is his privi
lege to decline it, but if he declines it be
cause he is disappointed at not getting a
better plane, he not only indicates that he
has a lietter opinion of his own merits
than the Speaker has of them, but also
that the interests of his party are only of
a secondary consideration with him. Ihe
ill-feeling engendered by the committee
appointments, however, will quickly d.e
out when the actual work of the session
i begins, and all fair-minded members will
I then tie willing to admit that the Speaker
| acted for the best.
Inter-State Commerce Hills.
The New York Commercial Bulletin
does not think that any one*of the dozen
j hill* already introduced in Congress this
session, for the supervision of inter-State
railroads and for the regulation or their
j ti .uisi'ortation charges, has much chance
I of becoming a law. The number of bills
indicates a variety of views respecting
i the matter at issue, and creates a doubt
j ot the possibility ot readily harmonizing
those views. Even if one of the bills
should get through the House it would not
j me t with much encouragement in the
Senate. That body has always been cx
! tremcly conservative with respect to
| matters ot legislation which are
i a little outside of the lieaten
paths. There arc many rich men
! in the Senate and many who are intor-
I cstisl in railroad property. The outlook
1 in the Senate, therefore, for legislation
that is at all inimical to the interests of
the great railroad cortmrations is not
j promising. The Commercial Bulletin
i (cans to the opinion that the Federal
i courts, and not Congress, is the place for
■ the people to obtain a redress of their
grievances against railroads. YVhatever
j the guv rnunl does to the way of super
vising railroads and regulating their
freight charges must be done through a
bureau or a commission. It is possible,
oto'onrse. to get men thoroughly compe
tent and honest to manage a bureau or to
act na commissioners, but it is not ccr
! tain that such men will always be se
i looted.
Experience teaches that bad men are
j a* likely to lie selected as good men. Un-
less men in whom the country had eonti
! deuce were chosen to administer the law
I it would fail ot its purpose. The courts
are, or are supp<>sed to be, beyond the in
; ilu. nee of the railroads. Judges certainly
do not‘depend upon railroads for their
I places, and an- in a position to adminis
ter the law impartially as between the
people and powerful corporations. It
| may l*e that the jurisdiction of the courts
i is hardly extensive enough to cover the
J grievances which are the occasion of
i the inter-State commerce bills, but
'if it is not. such jurisdiction can
j tie conferred more quickly and readily
! than an inter-State commerce bill can l*e
passed. These are the views of one of the
leading commercial papers of the country.
It i* a paper that is recognized as an au
thority by commercial and business
classes, and what it says upon so im
portant a subject as the one under con
sideration is calculated to arrest atten
tion. It holds that State Commissions for
the supervision of railroads have not
Is-en a success. A Federal bureau would
be a similar institution with expanded
powers. The arguments of the Bulletin,
it must he admitted, have considerable
merit.
Judge Kr*liilie’s Hoticement.
A couple of days ago the Morning
New* published the report that Judge
Erskine had resigned, and yesterday the
report was confirmed in our dispatches.
He will retire from the bench as soon as
his resignation is accepted. Judge
Erskine is well known to the people of
Georgia. For eighteen years he has dis
charged the onerous duties ot Federal
Judge in this Suite, and it is,
perhaps, not too much to say that he
has discharged them faithfully, ably and
conscientiously. He was appointed in
1 *4Vi, and at that time, and for several
years afterwards, there was considerable
feeling in the South against Federal
courts. They were regarded as political
machines to be run in the interest of the
dominant party. The unpopular recon
struction acts required interpretation and
the decisions of the Federal Judges with
regard to them frequently subjected them
to bitter criticism. In an interview, pub
lished in the Atlanta Constitution,
Judge Erskine says that he kept
steadily in view the tact that
it was his duty to administer
the law as he found it, and that all the
while he felt that the time would come
when his conduct on the bench would
meet with the approval it deserved. He
takes considerable pride in the fact that
his rulings on the reconstruction acts
were uniformly sustained by the Supreme
Court. Whatever ill-feeling toward him
existed in the early part of his judicial
career long since passed away. His sin
cerity and integrity have been fully
recognized and he retires from his judicial
labors respected by the bar and people, and
\vith a record of which he has reason to
be satisfied, lie calls his life uneventful
and, perhaps, it is in comparison with
that of many men prominent in public
life. He came to this country from Ire
land when he was about eight years of
age. In IH3O he returned to his native
country and completed his education.
When he came back he settled in Florida
where he resided for about fifteen years.
In 1865 be located in Atlanta and
remained there nntil 1*364, when
he went North with the intention
of remaining there and practicing his
profession. Without any solicitation on
his part President Johnson appointed
him to the jiosition he now holds. He
held court first in Savannah. The time
was May. I*oo. He has an elegant home
in Atlanta, and his salary of $3,500, which
continues as a pension, is sufficient to
make him comfortable for the remainder
of his life.

The policy of shortening the courses of nav

of a Florida ship canal. But when we find
Secretary \V. K. Chandler thinking well of it,
too. we would like to know what peculiar de

Chandler in Florida up to the present time is
not one that he. his party or his couDtry has
reason to he proud of.

A VREii quantity of human hair has been
recently exported to France and England
from Russia, and the suspicion of the police
authorities of the province of Pskov having
been aroused, a priest named Seraphin was a
month ago arrested on a charge of fraud.
It was tlion discovered that this man last year
founded a religious sect, every member of
which, on joining it. had to sacrifice his or her
hair as a symbol of oliedience to the superior,
seraphin has a brother, a fashionable hair
dresser in St. Petersburg, and to this man the
priest consigned the locks of the faithful.
•Seraphin is now in jail; the new sect of the

There are queer stories circulating with
regard to *ir John Pope Hennessey’s first
levee in Mauritius. No official notice inti

and gaudv neckties, and some of them were
even provided with alpaca umbrellas. The
Orientals all came with covered feet, grossest
of lu-ults ill the East; hut this may have boon
unintentional. One dusky gentleman in a
turban had on a pair of English-cut duck in
expressibles, and patent leather shoes; an
other carried a big straw hat into the pres
ence; and a third was fearfully and wonder
fully arrayed in a night-gown of chintz of the
window-curtain pattern. The sumptuary
notions of that island need reformation.

The Bangor Commercial says it is thought
the lumbering operations all over Maine will
be considerably smaller than those of last
winter, and it is certain that the provincial
cut will be much smaller than for some years
past. The reasons for this are numerous. In
the first place mav lie mentioned the fact that
prices of nearly all kinds of lumber have been
low for several years, and while lately there
has been a considerable increase iu the cost of
getting lumber out, the increase in the price
of the product has been small. Then many
operators have been unsuccessful in business
lately on account of unfavorable conditions
for hauling and driving, and are not able,
financially, to conduct business this winter.
But more than those mentioned above, there
is another reason, one lately developed,which
must be considered as tending to reduce the
amonut of Maine’s lumber cut this season,
particularly that of the Penobscot. YVe refer
to the havoc wrought by the recent terrible
cyclone, which, it is safe to say, did more
harm than all the storms of a quarter of a
century past combined.
How to divide five eggs between three peo
ple is a problem which might fairly puzzle a
philosopher, but the practical genius of Prince
Bismarck has solved that, as it has many oth
er difficulties which have proved to much for
profound thinkers. The only wonder is that,
as lie made the great discovery as many as
thirteen years ago, it should only now’ have
been given to the world in the pages of the
Deutsche Kerne. It appears that it was on the
evening of Gravelotte, after a day when the
Prince, like everybody else, had had nothing
to eat and was hungry—hungrier, we may
presume, than anybody. He had, however,
the good fortune to secure five eggsfor twenty
francs, and the generosity to share them with
two of his companions. But. foreseeing the
mathematical difficulty which would arise if
he were to attempt an equal division, he took
the precaution to eat two of the live himself
first, and then dashed off to his comrades, and
with a great show of magnanimity made a
fair distribution of the remaining three, keep
ing to himself all knowledge of the two that
he had so conveniently got rid of.
