frozen off the best lines and run out of
business. Many roads now run sleepers
of their own which are in every respect

freedom to citizens of any politics and ol
any color?” Has it ever occurred to the
Boston Courier that it doesn’t know what
it is talking about? There is more free
dom to citizens of any politics and of any
color in Georgia than there is in Massa
chusetts. Let the Courier puU the beam
out of its own eye.
Tne vivisection question has been re
vived in London, and is being
with considerable show of feeling. The
immediate occasion of the present discus
sion was a very extraordinary account
by a surgeon of the successful cutting out
of a tumor from the brain, which was ren
dered possible by previous experiments
on some dogs. A physician follows this
the statement that owing to tbe re
tfrKtions of recent legislation, he has had
fiSfnduet his experiments in Belgium.
Bishop of Oxford, arguing strongly on
the other side, says that man alone should
be experimented on in the interests of
and the St. Jame* Gazette re
pluwPPMi its usual sardonic brightness
that if, tbe anti-uvisectionists have their
way, this principle will certainly be car
ried out, as scientific doctors will prac
tice on their patients the experiments at
present exercised on the lower animals.
Dr. Richardson, the great teetotal advo
cate, contributes to the debate an ac
count of what he calls a lethal chamber
which he has attached to the dog’s home,
where animals pass by rapid poisoning
(0 a peaceful death.
Mr.. Phelps and the lntcr-St ate Com
nierce Bill.
The speech of Representative Phelps in
opposition to the inter-State commerce
bill is. perhaps, the heaviest blow that
pleasure has yet received. In the early
part of last week there did not seem to lie
much reason to doubt that the bill would
pass the House by a very fair majority.
It is still probable that it will pass, but it
has lost many friends since Mr. Phelps
speech against it. Even if it gets through
tbe House its success is by no means as
sured. It will hardly meet the approval
of the Senate in its present shape, and the
changes that maybe made in it by that
body may finally cause Its defeat.
Of course Federal legislation of this
kind is experimental. It may accompus
the purpose aimed at, but there are
reasons for thinking that it will not. It
is in response to a very geueral demam
for correction of practices which are ex
tremelr burdensome and even injurious
to business interests.
The point which Mr. Phelps made with
such force was that the railroads would
not comply with the law, if enacted, lie
cause their business was of such a na
ture that they could not.
For example, he said that in some in
stances pooling was absolutely nece6-
sarv to prevent the railroads from be
coming bankrupt. Competition between
them was so great that in order to get
business they were forced to cut rates to
such an extent that their revenues failed
to meet their expenditures. Again, they
were compelled to make discriminations
in order to secure new business or to
hold the business they already had.
There are hundreds of things which in
fluence rates of transportation, and it
would be impossible to make regulations
to meet all of them.
There is, no doubt, much truth in what
31r. Phelps said, and his remarks have
already called out a great deal of com
ment. To insure the prosperity of the
railroads, and at the same time to take
the management of their att’airs from them
and it in the hands of inexperienced
men £io could not make themselves
; thoroujuly acquainted with all the
1 reasons which influence railroad rates in
any reasonable length of time, is some
thing very difficult to accomplish, if in
fact, it is possible. It is being tried in a
small way in some of the States, but it
must lie admitted that it hasn’t proven
very satisfactory.
It does seem, however, as if something
might be done to prevent such discrim
inating rates as tend to destroy the busi
ness ot one individual or company anil
build up that of another. There are few
who do not remember the means by which
the standard Oil Company became the
immense monopoly that it is. How many
small interests of the same kind were
ruined to build up that great one w"l
perhaps never be known.
Assuming that Federal control of inter
state railroads will not prove to be
wholly practicable, the fact that the
very highest order of talent is en
gaged in railroad management, while
the running of railroads is being
rapidly reduced to almost scientific ex
actness, is ground for beUet ng that the
time is not very distant when t'tfi demand
for Federal control of inter-State roads
will be much less than at present. Pro
gress in railroad management, perhaps,
will do what the advocates ot inter-State
commerce legislation are trying to ac
complish. _____
Why the Soldiers Desert.
Adjt. Gen. Drum, in his annual re
ports for several years, has had much to
say about desertions from the army. The
Adjutant General’s last annual report
shows that there has been no decrease in
the number of desertions. During the
last three years 18,182 enlisted men were
discharged, Ob.”, died and 10,991 deserted.
The discharges, deaths and desertions ex
ceeded the maximum strength of the ar
my nearly 5,000.
Of course there must be causes for so
many desertions which average 3,664 a
year. The Adjutant General has been
trying to find out what these causes are
with the view of applying some reme
dy. This year the reports of divis
ion and department commanders deal at
length with the desertion evil, and va
rious causes are given for it.
Some of the causes assigned were as
follows: Too much mauual labor, defi
ciency and lack in variety of food, un
healthfulness of station, indebtedness to
the government tor outfit issued upon en
listment, intemperance and dissipation.
Congress has been urged frequently to
enact laws that would teDd to remedy
the desertion evil, but neglects or refuses
to consider the subject. In the absence
of legislation, the War Department might
do something that would remove some of
the causq? of trouble.
Wnere the sold'ers do not have food
suflieient in quantity, quality and vari
ety, it may be tnat the officers immedi
ately in command of them do not look
alter their wants as carefully as they
ought.
This view of the case is strengthened
by the fact that very many of the
officers are constantly absent from their
commands. The Adjutant General said
in his report fofr last year that “The ab
sence ot captains for long periods leads to
much discontent on the part of the men.
There are at present (October, 1883,) 102
captains of the line absent from their ap
propriate commands —about 24 per cent,
of the whole number of line officers of that
grade.” Col. John Gibbon, commanding
the department of the Platte, in his recent
report to the War Department, stated that
there were 63 companies serving in the
department and that 53 officers were ab
sent.
When the officers are absent it is proba
ble that the wants of the men are not at
tended to as closely as when they are
present. There is a regulation of the
army which requires that captains shall
not be detailed from their commands ex
cept for very urgent reasons.
It is wrong to impose a great amount
of manual labor upon the soldiers, or re
quire them to perform services that de
grade them in their own estimation or
that of the communities in which they
may happen to be located. The aim
should be to elevate the common soldier,
and not to degrade him.
The House recently passed a bill that
will tend to encourage enlisted men. Toe
bill limits appointments to the army to
graduates from the Military Academy.
At present there are plenty of graduates
to fill the appointments, hut the time may
net be distant when it will present oppor
tunities for promotion to the common
soldier.
Quarreling Itepuhlicans.
Avery pretty quarrel Is brewing among
the Republican leaders. President Ar
thur’s friends are trying to have him
elected Senator lrom New York, to suc
ceed Senator Lapham, and 3lr. Blaine’s
friends, it is alleged, are doing all they
can to defeat the President's ambition.
It is the old fight between the half-breeds
and the stalwarts revived. The Blaine
faction say that the President and his
Cabinet did not exert themselves to se
cure the election of 3lr. Blaine, and that,
therefore, Mr. Blaine’s friends ought not
to help elect the President Senator. Mr.
Jones, the Chairman of the Republican
National Committee, made some pretty
bold statements about the indifference
displayed by the President and his Cabi
net during the late campaign. Secretary
Chandler retorted and hit Chairman Jones
some hard blows. He intimated that if
there was a desire for a faction fight in
the party it could be had without much
trouble. He told Mr. Jones that aa he led
the party to defeat in the Presidential
contest it would be more becoming in him
to keep quiet. Of course there is more or
less crimination and recrimination.
Blaine’s managers are now told that if
they had spent in New
a\\;iy
feeling is beginning to show
the less prominent leaders. The Demo
crats can afford to watch this faction
fight with satisfaction, because it promises
to assume such proportions as to insure
them the State in the next Gubernatorial
contest. In the meantime the President’s
prospects for the Senatorship seem to be
growing less promising.
A Happy Christmas Promised.
Notwithstanding the cry of “hard
times” and the scarcity of money, tbe
dealers in holiday goods appear to te
doing a thriving business. Whether the
times are hard or not. money can always
be found for Christmas presents.
Children look forward to Christmas for
manv weeks anil it would not do to dis
appoint them, and even grown people
would not miss the pleasures and pres
ents of the holiday season. Presents are
not prized for their money value, but be
cause they indicate love, friendship or
respect on the part of the giver, and the
charm about them is that they afford the
giver as much pleasure as the receiver.
Every vear greater attention is paid to
the holiday goods, and there is every year
something new and novel. In New
York and other great cities the
show windows are won
derfully attractive this year. They are
so lull of novelties and rich anil beauti
ful articles that they are the subjects of
very general newspaper comment. Even
in this city where the possibilities of trade
in this line of goods are necessarily cir
cumscribed, there are attractions that are
well worth seeing. The merchants have
selected their stocks with such taste and
judgment that people are lured into pur
chasing presents for those to whom they
want to give pleasure whether they feel
able to do so or not.
There is, perhaps, no place in the coun
try where there is more real enjoyment at
Christmas time than there is in this city.
The children are plentifully supplied with
presents suitable to their age, and especi
ally are the boys made happy with fire
crackers and tin horns. The exchance of
tokens of friendship anil affection in fami
lies is very general. Here, as elsewhere,
Christmas this year promises to be as
thoroughly enjoyed as any preceding
Christmas.
CURRENT COMMENT.
Some Republican Tricks^
Detroit Free Preen (Dem.).^
Hnwgate’s escape was deliberately per

Foolish Foreign Policy.
Philadelphia Time* (Ind ).
There is a good deal of jealous talk among
Congressmen just now about the “treaty
making power.” The importance of fulfld
iHg the obligations of treaties would lie a
much more profitable subject for their con
sideration. It would be very easy to estab
lish such a character in our international re
lations that nobody would make a treaty
with us, except some petty State that could
not help itself, add we should not get a great
deal of pro tit out of that.
The Covert Enemies of Democracy.
Louisville Courier-Journal ( Dem.).
The men who, in open defiance of part , dis
cipline, joined the Republicans to defeat the
Morrison bill, are actively at work striving
again to prevent any real reform in the tariff.
At Chicago they sought to force on tbe party
the Ohio platform, and were beaten. Next
they sought to strike out the words “ex
clusively for the purposes of government
economicallv administered.” and were again
defeated, fe'ti" they refuse acquiescence, and
are laboring to (Jivjite the party on every
question of detail.
The Intelligent Sentiment.
Chicago Time a (/nt/.i.
The intelligent sentiment of this country
will not sustain an effort to regulate the mere
social relations of tile races. If Congress or
anv other power can enact that the whites
anil blacks must travel in company on the
same car,, it can with just as much propriety
provide that the two classes shall drink their
coffee .rom the same cup or eat their oysters
with the same fork. The negroes and their
white friends will do well not to attempt to
force whites into repellant relations with the
negroes, ior the effect will only he to put oil
the dav of amicable relations, and, possibly,
to rentier its coming an impossibility.

The room in the Tower of London, in which

there is only one window- an opening 10 by 20

The New Orleans Time*-Democrat prims

celebrated Sam Ward, of New York, so note l
as a literateur, bon vivaut and connoisseur,
and whose recent death was so deeply re
gretted iu the highest social circles of the Old

tell you the year, hut it was long ago. When
I made the" first it was commented on ex
tensively in the newspapers and shown to an
old dealer in spices, who said, without smell
ing of it, that it was a very good nutmeg. Of
course, you eau detect them by their ligh -
ness of weight and puncturing them, but not
always by the lack of odor, for I sometimes
frate a little real nutmeg upon them and
eep them wrapped up in it until the aroma is
confirmed. The whiteness is chalk. The
real nutmeg is not streaked with white in its
□ alive state. Being a very oily kernel, the
exporters rub it with whitening or some
other white powder. In making the imita
tion I first turn them out roughly in a lathe
Then I have to score and rub them by hand,
holding them between my thumb and finger.
Tnis is a very trying task. I had an order
for making some for the Southern military
visitors, and the time was so short that I had
to work nights. My hands became socranqieU
that I could hardly use them for some days.”

An Exploded Boom.
A long, lank, lean and chronic Anti-Potash
Boom met the new, fat and saucy Atlanta
Big Bold Boom, on a hot, sultry day.
“Who are you?” asked the B. B. IS. Boom.
“I am the old Anti-Potaeh Boom,” was the
sad reply, as the perspiration rolled down,
and it leaned heavily on the B. B. B. Boom
lor support.
“Don’t lean on me,” said the B. B. B. Boom.
“I may look strong, but I am qnite young
only U months old, am growing rapidly, and
am mighty weak in the knees. lam doing
the work which you have failed to do, although
you are 50 years old. You are old, and tough,
and rich, and don’t require a support. But
what causes you to look so thin of late?”
“Well. I hardly know,” replied the Anti-
Potash Boom. “My physician tells me that
mv abilities have been over-rated, and that
while trying to whip out all opposition by
boast and brag, that I have proven my in
ability. Old age is also creeping on me—having
fought near 50 years before any one knew I
was living—and now I am unable to perform
feats that others are doing. I am collapsed:
my friends have turned against me and call
me names, and oh, Lordy, how sick I become
at the very sight of B. B. B. Hold my bead
while I die.”
