DAILY ENQUIRER-SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, Si SPAT MORNING, NOVEMBER 16, 1890.
THE POLISH EDITOR POPULAR.
Disadvantage! of Not Being Able to Bead
Everything in One’s Own Paper.
A newspaper nun who had worked for
some time on New York papers, and then
h«d drifted from sight into the vague “out
west,” walked in among his old associates
one night looking happy and prosperous.
“Hello, old maul Walked back to the
old shop, eh?” was the greeting he got.
“Not by any means,” he replied. ‘Tvs
come to New York to get a couple of hard
working and ambitious reporters to help
me on my paper, and I’ll set them on their
feet at the time.”
“Come off!” “Your paper!” “Well,
that’s good,” came in chorus from his old
comrades.
“Perhaps you never heard of N ?” he
answered, mentioning a mining town In
the west. “I never did myself till I went
there, so I’ll not dwell on your ignorance.
But that’s where I mold public opinion
now,” and he handed around his business
cards, where the familiar name of their old
friend looked a little strange with the
envied appendage “Manager and Editor
of The N Herald.”
“Congratulations, old man!” “Struck
It rich, eh?” “Good luck to you!” “How
long are you going to stay in the city?”
were fired at him all at once. He smiled
bis thunks for the first mentioned excla
mations, and replied to the last with em
phasis:
“Just as long as ever I can.”
“Oh! Ha, hal It’s not all roses, then?”
“Well, it’s a fine thing being your own
boss, but great Scott, it’s good' to live in
New York, and no one knows that so well
as the man who once did and now doesn’t.
“Besides, I shall not return till I get a
telegram I expect today or to-morrow.
And thereby hangs a rather good story.”
“Out with it!” “Let’s hear it.”
“Well, my paper is backed and owned by
a wealthy mining syndicate, which em
ploys thousands of Poles in its mines. I
run the paper for whatever profit there is
in it, so long as I don’t run it against the
interests of the syndicate. I thought the
paper would be more widely read among
the Polish working people if I got out an
edition in the Polish tongue once a week,
and the idea was approved by my backers,
who were pleased with my enterprise and
push. How to get a Polish editor was the
difficulty. However, I procured one from
Chicago. He entered into the scheme heart
and sou), and wrote prolifically. By the
time I had gotten oat three Polish editions
the demand for them among the Poles be
came spirited, and I was congratulating
myself when a note came from one of my
backers saying that I would better look
sharply after what my Polish editor was
saying in his editorials.
“I went out and secured an interpreter,
and fonnd to my dismay that this editor
of mine was urging the men to strike, di
lating on their wrongs at the hands of the
mine owners, and even advocating setting
the mines on (ire if their demands were not
complied with.
“I exploded, but my Pole wouldn’t
‘crawl.’ He maintained that the people
wanted that sort of thing, and pointed to
the rapidly increasing sales of the paper. I
found him so entirely blind to reasons of
expediency and policy that 1 told him that
he ought to resign. He promptly refused
to io so, and expressed his firm purpose of
completing his six months’ contract in my
employ or raising a riot among his coun
trymen and burning the office down. He
looked fit to do it, too, and I temporized.
"After consulting with my backers I re
solved to come east for a week or two. I
put the foreman of the mechanical part of
the shop in charge of the whole business.
He is a big, fighting Irishman, who hates
‘foreigners,’ and he has orders to discharge
the Polish editor while I mn away. When
I get a telegram that my Pole has cleared
out I am going back. Not before.”—New
York Tribune.
“The Bock of Chiekamsofs.”
Gen. George H. Thomas is about as well
known by his soubriquet of “The Rock of
Chickamauga” as “Stonewall” Jackson is
by the one that clingy to him. No doubt
most people understand that “The Rock
of Chickamauga” as applied to Gen.
Thomas refers to his moral qualities, his
immovable firmness -as a soldier, etc. But
it seems some have given it a literal inter
pretation. Some time ago Miss Ransom,
the artist, painted an elaborate-picture of
Gen. Thomas, intending to sell it to the
government. She represented Gen. Thomas
at the battle of Chickamauga. When ,the
painting was finished the lady invited sev
eral officers who served under the general
to visit her studio and give their judgment.
The astonishment of the visitors was great
when they found that the lady perched the
general upon a big bowlder.
In a gentle way they tried to explain to
Miss Ransom that she had misunderstood
the reference to “The Rock of Chicka
mauga.” They told her that Gen. Thomas
did not stand upon a rock. But the lady
insisted that,she was right. She said she
had been to the battlefield of'Chickamauga
and had seen the identical rock which the
general had stood upon, and which she had
painted in the picture.—Indianapolis Jour
nal
A City Messenger’s Liberality.
Mr. James Darcy, city hall messenger,
has been for about forty-one years in the
city’s employ. Some time since he insisted
on presenting Alderman Roiland With a
gold headed cane. A few days ago he
handed two checks to Mayor Grenier, each
for |50. The mayor found that one was
payable to himself and the other to Mrs.
Grenier. The mayor returned them, but
to this Mr. Darcy made strenuous objec
tions. Finally he prevailed upon the
mayor to accept the one payable to Mme.
Grenier as one of the patronesses of the
Notre Dame hospital, tbe mayor having
ascertained that Mr. Darcy’s family would
not suffer through the bequest. Mr. Darcy
has also placed money in the hands of the
city clerk and assistant city clerk for other
benevolent purposes. He is at present very
ill.—Montreal Witness.
Some New Postage Stamps.
Philatelists will be interested in hearing
that both the new companies in South
Africa are in the field with specially de
signed postage and revenue stamps. The
British East Africa company has started
with an issue ranging from the half anna
to five rupees, and bearing in each design
a crowned sun, with the motto “Light
and Liberty” surrounded by a horseshoe
label, inscribed with the title of tbe com
pany. An issue is also in preparation for
the South Africa company, which is fol
lowing the precedent established some
years ago by the British North Borneo
company, some of whose earlier issues
(long since drawn from circulation) al
ready rank among the rarities in the stamp
collecting world.—Eugene Field in Chi
cago News.
A Good Buie.
Tom—We always ought to look pleasant.
Jack—That's so. We can’t tell who may

The silver production of the country in
1889 was about 50,000,000 fine ounces, as
against 45,780,000 in 1888, 41,260,000 in 1887,
and 39,440,000 in 18S0. In 1890, owing to
the advance in price, the output is likely to
reach 55,000,000 ounces.
After a long cessation of such events
there has been attempted a great bank rob
bery at the Cape of Good Hope bank, Kim
berley. There were t hirteen feet of masonry
to be cut through and twenty feet of earth
to get into the strong room. As the cracks
men were nearly finished the bank sus
pended payment, and through hurrying up
the job, in order to prevent any withdrawal
of the funds, they were discovered.
A Bog’s Noble Act.
A big Newfoundland was going peacea
bly along when a cross grained cur began
snapping at him and snarling savagely.
This started one or two other dogs, who
joined in the attack. The big dog took no
notice until compelled to do so in self de
fense. Then he turned and sent the crowd
of persecutors flying in all directions, all
except the ringleader, who fell sprawling
in the middle of the street and was begin
ning to get the drubbing he deserved when
things took a very unexpected turn.
A cable car came dashing down the hill,
with clanging bell, right upon the dogs.
Nobody is expected to warn dogs of dan
ger, and so the car was almost upon them
when a policeman cried, “Get out!”
The big dog saw the danger and sprang
aside, but his late assailant moos on his
back and too much iu dread of his punish
ment to see anything else. There he lay,
and in a second more wouid be crushed.
The Newfoundland saw the situation,
and after he had partly turned away,
sprang back in front of the car, seized the
cur in his teeth and snatched him, still
whining and begging for mercy, out of the
very jaws of death. He laid him in the
gutter, and then, as though further retali
ation had entirely escaped his mind, he
gave a good natured wag or two of his tail
and started on up the street, unconscious
that for less heroic deeds than his men
wear medals of honor. He was only a dog,
but he taught a lesson to all who stood by.

The “Therapeutic” Smoking Pipe.
An improved form of smoking pipe has
been introduced in England to the notice
of the medical profession, primarily to
provide a means of combating the smoker’s
habit, and do away with the injurious ele
ments in it, to which its baneful effects are
due, by abstracting the noxious constitu
ents of tobacco smoke, whilst leaving the
aromatic principles unaffected. It is hoped
by this means to make it available for
daily use by delicate cr invalid smokers, to
whom total prohibition would often be little
short of punishment. Secondly, it is sug
gested that tbe pipe may be made useful
as a means of utilizing the habit of ‘Smok
ing as an adjunct to treatment by inhala
tion of volatile medicaments, so that the
vapor of the remedy employed may be
directed to the affected surfaces. Another
possible use of tbe pipe is that of an in
sufflator, for which its construction spe
cially fits it.—New York Commercial Ad
vertiser.
A Sagacious Bobin.
Mrs. Burwell, of Westfield, Conn., found
a helpless robin a year ago last summer,
which had fallen from its nest while learn
ing to fly. She placed it in a cage and
raised it. This summer she released it,
thinking the bird would be happier at lib
erty. The robin returned to Mrs. Bur-
well’s yard last week and flew upon her
finger. When spoken to he was willingly
taken into the house, and there he gave
unmistakable expressions of delight at be
ing in his old home. After the excitement
had passed away the empty cage was
brought to the room, and straight into it
flew the robin. He hopped up to his perch
and there settled down iu evident content
ment. He hadn’t forgotten where to look
for his food nor for what his bath was in
tended. It is believed that the bird didn’t
know what else to do when the cold
weather came.—New Haven Register.
PANIC IN THE STOCK MARKET.
WILD EXCITEMENT IN NEW YORK AND
LONDON.
New York, November 15. — Private
cables received before the opening of the
Stock Exchange announcing troubles of
Baring Bros., and stating that the Bank oi
England, Rothschilds and other bankers
had taken up the accounts of Baring Bros.,
amounting to £15,000,000, created
a profound sensation. Conferences of
bankers were at once had, and it was de
cided to have the brokers in every stock
that could be handled to bid advanced
price at the opening, so as to avert a sud
den shock. As a result prices for nearly
all active stocks opened $ to 2 per cent
above last night’s close, the extreme gain
being made by Northern Pacific preferred.
Then the liquidation of weak accounts set
in full force, prices gave way rapidly in all
directions. Wild excitement prevails,
stocks being thrown over in the most
reckless manner, and losses in the first
hour’s trading exceeding anything seen
since the present decline began. Dealings
were simply enormous, and the rapidity
with which quotations melted away was
something unprecedented, there being no
halt in the downward movement. At 11
a. m. a panic prevailed, prices gave way
in every direction and brokers were
dismayed at the prospect. Lacka
wanna, a favorite investment
stock, led in the downward
rush with a decline of 9 per cent. Atchi
son went down to 24, Rock Island to 63i
and sugar to 50. The lowest prices on
record for those stocks. Canada Southern
and other regular dividend payers were
thrown over as well as speculative stocks.
After 11:15 there was a rally, caused by
the following cable from London:
London, Nov. {15.—Special Guar
antee fund to Baring Bro. & Co.,
stated to amount to £10,000,000.
The various financial banking and
discount houses gauranteeing accounts,
state that the crisis is over, and the fail
ure of the firm has been averted. Kidder,
Peabody & Sons, who are agents here of
Baring Bros. & Co., London, say they have
private advices from Loudon that what
ever trouble there may have been, these
have been completely arranged. The
trouble was doubtless caused entirely by a
depression in Argentine securities. Our
house is in no wise affected.
At 11:30 a better feeling prevailed and
the market was stronger.
New York, November 15.—Noon.—
Money has been easy, with no loans, but
offered at 5 to 6 per cent. The market,
after 11 o’clock, was influenced for the better
by dispatches from London, which placed a
somewhat better face upon the troubles
there, and prices in this market went but
little farther in the downward direction.
The recovery which followed was very ir
regular, but amounted to as much as four
in Lackawanna, while many stocks were
again brought up to near the opening fig
ures. The close was still very active, but
with less excitement, and unsettled at ma
terial losses for the day.
London, November 15.—The market
was comparatively quiet, the feeling being
that crisis was over, and American securi
ties were a fractiou higher where any
change occurred from yesterday.
London, November 15.—Kidder, Pea
body & Co. said today that there
need be no anxiety on the part of the
creditors of the London firm, as their as
sets increases liabilities, are as much
probably as 40,000,000 pounds. They are
virturlly carrying the Argentine Republic
loans and taking back the holding of those
dissatisfied customers to whom they had
sold any parts thereof.
A PANIC AVERTED.
BY THE PROMPT AND JUDICIOUS ACTION
OF T.TE BANK OF ENGLAND.
London, November 15.—The Times,
referring to the financial situation, says:
The city has passed through a crisis verg
ing upon a panic. Such a time has not
been known since the suspension of Over-
end Guerney & Co. We rejoice that we
are able to announce that the worst is
over. The Bank of England has added to
its historic services to the State and com
mercial community by its prompt action
in overturning what would have been a
lamentable catastrophe. The administra
tion of the bank not only provided
vast reinforcements to its stock of gold to
meet the exceptional demands in the event
of a panic, but also stepped out of the or
dinary routine of business to prevent the
downfall of one of the greatest and most
respected English houses, which had for
some days been in peril, and which, if it
had fallen, would probably been,brought
down in wide-spread ruin a large number
of smaller but important firms.
