there is an occasional skirmish between

The Sew York life Insurance compa
nies. which have for three years been fight
ing the celebrated Dwight of Binghamton
cases, will now have to pay the full
amounts of their policies, besides interest,
costs, lawyers’ fees and other expenses.the
courts having finally decided against
them. The total amount of insurance on
Col Dwight's life was about $250,000,
and it is now evident that the course of
the company that paid down its $50,000
cash, on receipt of the proof of death, was
wise, as it not only added to its reputa
tion for the prompt payment of policies
without quibbling, but avoided the sui.-
sequent expense and annoyance and the
unpleasant notoriety gained by the con
testing com pan if.
A careful observer says that the growth
of population In Xew York city is id two
directions—towards the extremely rich
and the poor. The millionaire's palace
and the tenement “double-decker” are
monopolizing the whole of Manhattan
Island. Evidence ol this tendency is
found in the statistics of church member
ship. From IMo to IwfJ the population of
New York increased 225 per cent. In the
lame period the membership in the Epis
copal churches, comprising the wealthy
class, increased 215 per cent., while the
attendance in the ltoman Catholic
churches, representing the other extreme
of the population, increased 900 per cent.
At the same time the relative growth ot
the Methodist, Baptist and Presbyterian
congregations, which represent the mid
dle classes more distinctively, shows a
large decrease.
The papers are somewhat cautiously
printing brief extracts from an alleged
article by Matthew Arnold which is said
to have appeared in a recent number of
the SiMUmth Century. If the article was
written by him, he acknowledges that his
former estimate was imperfect, and says
that until he visited the United States he
had never seen a people with institutions
thoroughly suited to them. He ridicules
Sir Lepei Griffin’s account, considers
American society homogeneous, and
praises the good sense of a nation which
has not invented distinctions in classes.
He disbelieves the alleged dangers from
great wealth, and scouts the idea of a
possible revolution. He considers that the
people of the United States have solved
successfully both the political and social
problem. He doesn’t say when he will
•come over after another boat loa<_ ol dol
lars.
The Silver Problem.
This Congress does not seem disposed
to do anything to ward off tbe threatened
silver trouble. It is doubtful if It has
time. An attempt to repeal or modify
the compulsory silver coinage act would
be productive of a lengthy debate, and
there is not time for such a debate. The
appproprlation bills are in a very back
ward state, ar.d it will require good man
agement to get them passed by the day of
adjournment.
Even if there were time to consider tbe
silver question it is scarcely probable
that it would be considered, because
neither party wants to take hold ot it.
The Republicans want to leave it for Mr.
Cleveland’s administration to deal with,
and the Democrats prefer to know what
Mr. Cleveland’s administration will have
to say about it before attempting to legis
late with regard to it.
In financial circles, however, there are
grave apprehensions that trouble from
excessive coinage of silver will come be
fore the next Congress can provide against
it. Indeed, there are those who believe
that much of the present depression in
business is due to the uncertainty with
respect to the currency.
It the country is forced to a silver stan
dard it is apparent that all values will be
disturbed. For what an investor pays a
dollar in gold at present he may be able
to get only a dollar in 6il\er a year hence,
and a dollar in silver would be worth only
85 cents. Those, therefore, who have
money to invest are waiting until there
shall be greater certainty with respect to
the currency. Of course capitalists
can afford to wait, but those who depend
upon capitalists must suffer. The opinion
is entertained by inanv financiers that if
tae coinage of silver were stopped and
confidence in the stability of the gold
standard restored fresh life would be in
fused into industrial enterprises all over
the country. The strong boxes in bank
vaults would be opened and money would
be freely Invested.
Times are hard because so many people
are unemployed, and so many people are
unemployed because those who control
capital are afraid to make investments
and engage in enterprises. Mr. Edward
Atkinson, of Boston, the well known
writer on economic subjects, says that
the difference between good and bad
times in a nation which is at peace, con
sists mainly in the question whether 1
per cent, of the total population, or 3
per cent, of the working force is idl?. "If
our population" he says "is .">8,000,000,
two cents a day profit on each person’s'
consumption would !>e $423,000,000, in a
year—a sum ot profit which would set
every wheel of industry into most rapid
motion. Two cents a day loss would
bankrupt thousands of merchants, and
stop more mills and works than are even
n<>w idle.”
If the opponents of silver are riebt in
the position they take, the immediate re
peal of the compulsory silver coinage act
would be followed by two things: First,
the fear of the advent of a silver standard
would disappear; and, second, there
would be at once a revival of business.
The Savannah River Appropriation.
Mr. R. I*, ltogart, who wrote to the
Congressmen from this State on behalf of
the City Council, urging that the appro
priation for the Savannah river and her
bor be increased to at least $200,000, has
received a reply from Representative
Nicholls. Mr. Nieholls says that he
agrees with Mr. ltogart that the appro
priation ought to l>c Increased to the sum
named, and ‘Sat he shall exert himself to
the utmost to secure a much larger ap
propriation than the river and harbor bill
at present provides for. If he does not
succeed in the Hou-e he w ill co-operate
with Senators Colquitt f.nd Brown in try
ing to have the appropriation increased
in the Senate.
The only hope for getting an increase is
in the Senate. The committee which has
charge of the bill in the House does not
intend, ev identic, to permit tbe bill to lie
amended in the House. Mr. W illis. the
Chairman, will allow only six hours for
debate, and the greater part of that time
will be taken up, doubtless, in discussing
the Galveston harlior. Mississippi river,
and Hennepin canal appropriations. The
discussion of these three appropriations
will arouse so much feeling that it will be
extremely difficult to get the House to
consider the claims of the Savannah river,
or, in fact, any other improvement for a
larger appropriation than that provided
in the bill.
If tbe appropriation is increased in the
Senate, however, the House doubtless
will agree to the increase. Mr. Nicholls
says that the Committee on Rivers and
Haritors, in framing their bill, sat with
closed doors, and refused to hear tbe Rep
resentatives in behalf of the improve
ments of their respective sections. It
seems, therefore, that the needs of the
Savannah river, were not presented to the
committee except in the shajie of the esti
mates of the Chief of Engineers. It is to
be hoped that our Senators wiil be ac
corded a hearing by the Senate Com
mittee on Commerce, and that
the Savannah river will lie dealt with
much more fairly than the Committee on
Rivers and Harbors has seen tit to deal
with it. The River and Harbor Commit
tee appears to have been so much atu
sorbeu with Capt. Eads’ schemes anil in
providing ways for Capt, Eads to increase
his fortune that it neglected to give proper
consideration to many public works of
very great importance.
The Low Trices of Oranges.
Florida orange growers have complained
a great deal this year about the poor re
turns they have received for their fruit.
The shippers, doubtless, are responsible
to a great extent for the low prices ob
tained, because they have not generally
exercised good judgment in distributing
their shipments—overstocking the mar
ket in some places, and leaving it bare in
others. The growers also are not wholly
without fault. They have not always ex
ercised proper care in picking and packing
the fruit. A Brooklyn dealer, however,
says that the consignees at the North are
mainly responsible for the disastrous
prices that have been received during
the last few weeks. In a communication
to the New York Commercial Bulletin
he says: ‘‘Much of the fruit that has
been sold during the last few weeks has
been frozen, and no other cause. I believe,
has worked so much detriment to the
trade as this one. There has been no
damaging frost this season in the Florida
groves, therefore the responsibility for
this condition is easily placed. Con
signees should see to this feature of the
business. It is not proper handling nor
justice to the consignor to let the fruit
lay upon the ship’s dock or in freight
depots, with the temperature below the
freezing point, awaiting carting, and then
to draw it distances uncovered in open
trucks through the streets. Here is where
many of the shipments are seriously
damaged.” It cannot be expected that
oranges damaged by frost will command
good prices.
The Commercial Bulletin of New York
calls attention to the fact that Southern
pig iron has almost driven Scotch pig
iron out of the market. Says the Bulle
tin: "Formerly the reports universally
bad the word’ "Scotch” where “South
ern” now appears. Besides serving the
purpose, as far as quality is concerned,
the Southern iron has a decided advan
tage in the matter of cost, being some $2
or $3 per ton cheaper. The production at
the South, it may be added, has increased
no less than five-fold during the last six
years. At present the capacity of fur
naces in blast there is about 20 per cent,
of the total capacity of active furnaces
in the whole country. Six years ago it
was less than 10 per cent. The periods
compared are those in w hich the general
Iron industry experienced somewhat sim
ilar depression and the marked change
for tbe better in the volume of produc
tion, attended as it is by a fair measure
of success in competing with Pennsyl
vania product and ousting Scotch iron,
the change at the South Is of no mean
importance.
\ New York man has established a res
taurant and lodging house for tramps, in
which meals are furnished at 5 cents each
and beds at 10 cents per night. As tbe
lodgers are required to take a bath and
put on a clean night shirt before retiring,
his house will probably not be popular.
Our Mall Service.
A few days ago we called attention to
the plan adopted by the sub-committee of
the House Appropriations Committee for
compensating the railroads for carrying
the mails. If Congress accepts this plan
the basis of compensation will be tbe
space occupied by the mails and the sp ed
at which they are carried, and not their
weight, as at present.
The idea of those who proposed this
plan is to do away with the special fast
mail service and to encourage the rail
roads to carry the mails in all parts of the
country much more rapidly than at pres
ent. The plan seems to be a good one,
but it may not prove to be satisfactory in
practice. There is one thing, lor instance,
that appears to have been overlooked by
the committee. It is that no authority is
given the Post Office Department tor fix
ing tbe time at which the mails shall
leave the principal points. Without such
authority, or some law regulating the
matter, the mail trains would be run to
suit the business interests of the rail
roads.
The New York mail for this city leaves
New York early in the morning and
reaches here early the following morning.
If the fast mail system were abolished
and the new system adopted, even it as
fast time were made as at present, the
mails might not reach here from New
York in time to be distributed until the
second morning after leaving that city.
In fact, the railway authorities who are
competent to si>eak about this matter say
that the Northern mails would, in all
probability, be twelve hours later in
reaching this city than at present. That
means, of course, that the Northern mails
would lie distributed a day later than at
present. The mails would leave New
York probably as early in the morning as
they do now. but they might remain at
Washington several hours.
Of course the business men of this city
and of the towns further South would
suffer serious inconvenience if the North
ern mails were received twenty-four
hours later than now.
Our representatives have been commu
nicated with about the matter and Mr.
Blount has replied. He says that no
provision is made for fast mail
service because it is not authorized by
law, and would be stricken out by the
House if it were put in the bill. It was
not put in tbe bill by the Appropriations
Committee last year. The Senate insert* and
it and the House concurred in the Senate’s
action. Mr. Blount expresses the opinion
that the Senate will insert it again this
year and that the House will agree to it.
This is a matter that our business men
cannot allow to go by default. Postmas
ter General Gresham last year was mainly
instrumental in having an appropriation
made for fast mail for the Atlantic coast
cities. Postmaster General Hatton may
use his influence this year in behalf of a
fast mail for this section if he is made to
understand how necessary to our inter
ests a fast mail is. Our Congressmen
ought to be urged to do all that is possible
to be done to prevent a discontinuance of
our fast mail service.
The Republicans in Providence, R. L,
appear to have been hard pressed in tbe
recent municipal election. Under the
constitution of that State no one is en
titled to vote unless he is assessed and
pays taxes on property of the value of
$134. Just prior to the election a Repub
lican official placed a large number of
names of persons who w ere not property
owners on the personal tax list, and paid
the assessments of each one of them. The
Rhode Island Republicans are a shrewd
and unscrupulous set, and under their
manipulation they w ill probably be able
to carry the State for many years to come.

The prettiest of literary anecdotes has been

brother.” “And that of the clever little tailor
who married the princess'?” “Yes. certainly.”
“Well," said the child, producing the book,
“it ig said here that every one who doesn’t
believe it must pay him a tbaler. Now. I
don't believe that the princess ever married a
'•ador. I haven’t so much as a thaler, but
here is a gro chen: and please say I hope to
pay the rest by degrees." Just then Jacob

Still others have their own sweet way,
And when they would remark
l'non the painting they survey—
’Tie "what a lovely plark!”
Perhaps some charming girl will sigh,
Scanning your bric-a-brac,
“I’d give the world if only I
Possessed that darling ‘plack.’ ”
And then again some lusty lout
Will make your poor ears ache
By asking inVtentortan shout
“is thet tlier thing a ‘plake? ”
And so it seems quite hard to choose
Which of these varying stiles to use;
All can’t lie right, to you must take
Which you like best—"plawk.” “(dark,"
“plack” or “plake.” —The Judae ,

LOGAN’S FA llt FOE.
A Pretty Woman Working Against the
Great Defeated at the Illinois Capital.
Haines’Lieutenant iii his fight for the
Speakership, says a Springfield (111.) let
ter, has been his daughter, a young
woman of strong, rather than handsome
features, but with a magnificent figure
and graceful presence. Miss Ilaines oc
cupied a seat in the gallery while the
vote on he Speakership was being taken,
and her erect attitude and anxious ex
pression indicated her tense, wrought-up
condition. When the clerk, in proceed
ing with the call, approached the name of
Sittijr, her face became deadly pale and
her hands worked nervously’. Sittig’s
name being called aud 'no answer given,
the lady sank back exhausted. Tbe cli
max was dramatic. Whfn on the second
ballot all the Democrats had been whip
ped into line and the time came when
Sittig was to cast his vote, if ever
he should, Miss Haines rose to
her feet and looked over at him
much as if her life depended on a word
from him. Fuller, to forestall Sittig and
to rob him of his satisfaction, arose and
in a neat speech gave Hainhs the neces.
sary vote. This relieved Miss Ilaines.
who sat down again, leaned back and
gazed about her triumphantly. Sittig
then arose and voted for Haines. As he
did so tbe lady’s face became radiant and
her whole demeanor changed. Two hours
afterward, in the parlor of the Iceland,
Miss Haines and Mr. Sittig met. “Oh,
Mr. Sittig,” she said, “when you failed to
vote for father my heart was in my hands.
1 looked at him and saw him grow white
about the mouth, as he always does when
he is angry, and then when you arose I
was ready to cry for joy.” Just then
Senator Logan passed the couple. “Well,
Sittig,” said the Black Eagle, “1 see
you’ve elected your Speaker,”
“Oh, yes,” said Sittig, smiling.
“Anil you’ll elect your Senator, will
youf” inquired Logan,'politely.
“Oh, ves,” said Sittig, once more.
“Well, we’ll see about that,” jerked out
the angry Logan, as he passed the pair.
A FREEMASONRY EXPOSE.
Revelations Andrienx, Frefoct of
the I’arls Police.
M. Andrieux, Prefect of Police, says a
Paris cable special to the New York i/er
aW.has outdone all previous revelations in
Friday’s installment of his souvenirs in
his new paper, La Ligue. Like many
others who have held high posts under
the Republic, he was once an active mem
tier of a Freemason lodge. On being ap
pointed Prelect of Polioe he thought it
right to leave the Grand Orient of France.
He savs he could not serve two masters.
He thus describes his initiation into the
awful mysteries of the order,
k I asked leave to enter the Lodgo of Si
lence— so call- and, no doubt, because lawyers
were chiefly its members. The President
was M. le Rover, now President of the Senate.
Unknown brethren seized hold of me, put a
bandage across mv eyes and hurried me into
a subterranean place". Here my bandage was
unbound, and by the light of a pale flame I
saw bare walls, on which were placed here
and there death’s beads and human bones. I
was asked to write my will, and did so as fol
lows: “I leave my debts to my family and the
rest to the poor.” I was onlv 23 vears old—
that was my excuse.
I was then taken into the inner temple,
red. green and yellow flames marking my
oath as if they were fires of hell. A chalice
was Riven me to drain therefrom “the drink of
bitterness” a® it was called. It was no other
' than that aperient liquor which under the
name of vermouth vies with absinthe. Hold
ing in mv hand a compass, one of the points
of which was directed toward my breast, I
had to proiiltec not to divulge the secrets oi
Freemasonry under penalty of having my
head cut off, my tongue cut out and my body
thrown into the ocean, to be eternally tossed
about by the flow and wash of the eea.
M. Andrieux adds that he would not
have made these revelations had he not
come to the conclusion that Freemasons
liked to have a good laugh. After this
remarkable revelation the continuation of
11, Andrieux’B souvenirs is brought ab
ruptly aad mysteriously to a close.
GOV. PERRY’S CABINET.
A Brief Account of the Men Who are to
Assist Florida’s Governor to Guide
the Destinies of that State —State Sen
ators who Have Won Distinction.
Tallahassee. Feb. 3.—For several
administrations ene or more members
of the Cabinet have been taken from
the Senate. Gov. Drew appointed Sen
ator Gwynn Treasurer, Gov. Bloxham
made Senator Crawford Secretary of State,
and Gov. Perry has made Senator Cooper
Attorney General, and Senator Crill
Treasurer, ■senators Crill and Cooper
were laith elected last November, aud sat
together in the Senate, and it is a little re
markable the Governor should have
selected two occupying seats together.
During three administrations, now, the
Secretary of State has come from Middle
Florida and the Treasurer from the East.
West Florida has onlv one member in the
Cabinet, but the Governor and the Chief
Justice and the Chairman the Judi
ciary Committee, both of the Senate and
House, are from the West.
PERSONNEL OF THE CABINET.
The Cabinet is made tip as follows: W.
D. Barnes, Comptroller; K. S. Crill,
Treasurei; Jno. L. Crawford, Secretary
of State: A. J. Russell, Superintendent of
Schools; C. L. Mitchell, Commissioner of
Lands; C. M. Cooper,"Attorney General;
David Land, Adjutant General. Those
last appointed are C. M. Cooper, of st.
Augustine to be Attorney General.
Although only 29 years of age, Mr.
Cooper has shown his ability and fitness
for that high trust. He is oneof the most
brilliant young men in the State,
and his talents and capacity have
been tested on several occasions.
Dr. Jjio. L. Crawford is from Wakulla
county. He has served several terms in
the Legislature and was Secretary of
State during Gov. Bloxham's term of of
fice. He has made a careful and compe
tent official and his re-appointment is a
graceful recognition ot" the faithful man
ner in which he has served his State.
In the Cabinet there are three doctors
of medicine. Messrs. Crill, Craw lord and
Mitchell; two lawyers, Messrs. Barnes
and Cooper, and two civil engineers,
Messrs. Russell and Lang. The Governor,
Lieutenant Governor and Speaker of the
House are all experienced attorneys.
Mr. Stripling’s bill lor the appointment
of a superintendent of the State c.onvicts
is an important measure, but it is not
likely to become a law this session.
A joint committee has been appointed
to visit the Florida University, at Talla
hassee, and report as to the best mode of
relieving that institution of its present
embarrassment.
DR. CRILL’S LIFE.
Dr. E. S. Crill, who has been appointed
to preside over the State fin nces. is pe
culiarly qualified for that responsible
l'dace. He is a native ot Central New
York, and graduated with distinction,
aud received the degree of M. D. in Cin
cinnati in IS*JS. He removed to Putnam
countv. Fla., twelve years ago, and by
his ability and unflinching integrity so#n
built up a large and lucrative practice.
He has always been a Democrat, but be
has the confidence and esteem of persons
of all political shades to a remarkable
eoctent. In 1880 he was elected to the
Siate Senate lrom Putnam county, and
served his constituents so ably and faith
fully that he was re-elected in 1884, al
though the Republicans carried the
•ountv for Blaine, and in spite of the
fact that his opponent was the strongest
man in the Republican party, being no
other than C. A. Cowgill, who was so
largely instrumental in counting the
electoral vote of this State for Hayes in
1876. He was one of the strongest men
in the Senate and members of both parties
looked to him for advice when important
measures were at stake. He was Chair
man ot the Committee on Finance, Taxa
tion and Education and was an influen
tial member of several other committees.
He distinguished himself by close atten
tion to business, and has a thorough
knowledge of legislative work in all its
departments. He possesses superior ex
ecutive ability, and the mathematical or
der with which he dispatches business
will make him invaluable in the State
Treasurer’s office.
THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
A resolution has passed the House
asking the constitutional convention,
which is soon to meet, to so frame the law
relsting to convicts as to authorize the
appointmeut of a superintendent to man
age the State prisoners and see that they
are properly cared for and not inhumanly
treated.
The Governor has signed tbe bill allow
ing husband and wife to testify in divorce
cases,also the bill confirm ing tbe organiza
tion of the Jacksonville and Atlantic
Railroad Company.
The Cabinet appointments give gen
eral satisfaction and the opinion
prevails that they will make an
efficient and faithful set of officers.
The weather is fair and bracing and many
visitors arrive daily, some of whom will
remain during the whole season.
A LEADING SENATOR.
Hon. S. R. Mallory, Senator from the
Pensacola district, is now the leading
man in the Senate. He is the son of S. R.
Mallory, who was United States Senator
froqi Florida and Contederate Secretary
of the Navy. He was educated at George
town College, Washington. D.C., and nas
long been the leader of the young Democ
racy. During the last few political cam
paigns he has taken an active part in tbe
canvass of the State, and his able and elo
quent arguments have contributed largely
to the success of tbe Democracy, Al
though his is a Republican county he has
for the second time been elected to repre
sent the people in the Senate. He is
Chairman of the Committees on Judiciary
and Comineroe and Navigation, and he
dispatches business with marvelous ex
actness and rapidity. The day of his
promotion is not very distant.;
SPEAKER DAVIS.
Capt. F.. W. Davis, Speaker of the Flor
ida House of Representatives, is a native
of Lee, county, Ga. His father, Jesse M.
Davis, was a‘distinguished Baptist min
ister. Capt. Davis is essentially a self
made man. His educational advantages
were quite limited, he having attended
onlv the country schools of his native
State. Before he attained his majority he
was admitted to the bar and soon alter
wards married the daughter of Dr. Leon
idas B. Mercer, a distinguished physician
and scientist. In 1879 Capt. Davis re
moved to Gainesville, Fla., but soon after
wards settled in Green Cove Springs,
where he now resides. He has made
an enviable reputation as an
attorney and orator. He made an
eloquent speech at the Pensacola
convention in seconding the nomination
of the present Governor. During the late
•impaign he did noble work in the cause
of the people and was elected to the Leg
islature by an unprecedented majority.
Having received the caucus nomination
for Speaker he was overwhelmingly elect
ed, receiving many Republican votes. He
commands the confidence and esteem of
all pai ties and is one of the most dignified
and Impartial speakers that ever graced
the position. He honors the chair once
occupied by McClellan, McWhorter and
Daugherty. The probabilities are that he
will be sent to the Constitutional conven
tion, and no better officer than he could
be found to preside over the deliberations
of the august body.
An Even Thing.
Wall Street Xews.
He was the attendant of a railroad
lunch counter at a station in Indiana.
The other day as a stranger called for a
cup of coffee the attendant glared at him
for a moment, and theu began to spit on
his hands.
“What’s up?”
“Going to have revenge on you.”
“What for?”
“We were in Wall street together ten
years ago. You advised me to buy rail
road stock, and then unloaded on me and
brought me down to S4O per month.”
“Well, don’t get mad about that. It
wasn’t a year before a chap unloaded coal
oil on me. and I’m braking on this train
here for $1 a day.”

KIDNEY TROUBLE.
For over six years I have been a terrible suf

for the relief of which I have spent over $250
without benefit; the most noted so-called
remedies proving failures. The use of one
single bottle of B. B. B. has been marvelous,
giving more relief than all other treatment
combined. It is a quick cure, while others, if
they cure at all, are in the distant future.

AN ALMOST ENTIRELY NEW STOCK!
MR. STERNBERG DESIRES TO ACQUAINT HIS PATRONS AND THE PUBLIC AT
LARGE that he has just returned from New York with an exquisite selection of DIA
MONDS, WATCHES and JEWELRY of all kinds, far superior *x> anv ever seen in thi#city
under one roof. Owing to the extreme dullness of the trade in New York and all over this
country, he has found the "Wholesale trade and Manufacturers of Jewelry extremely anxious
to realize at any price. In most cases, strange as it may appear, they were willing to dis
pose of their wares at almost the actual cost of the Gold, and, in consequence, I feel gratified
in saying that I have not only the NEWEST STYLES, but the CHIEAPEST GOODS JN SA
VANNAH. and, as I am willing to part with them at a small advakce on cost, I consider it a
rare opportunity for the purchase of goods in my line—an opaeTWnity that will not occur
again very soon. I feel that my reputation is lhat I need not again
assure the public that my goods are as reliable as it xtiav were purchased of a high-priced
establishment at TWICE THE ACTUAL VALUE,. *
