As 1888 draws nearer the number of pos sible Presidential candidates increases. The Rev. Dr. McGlynn culls himself a “jawsmith.” There is always hope of the man who sizes himself up correctly. The Northern people make a holiday of Decoration day. The Southern people can not afford to do less with Memorial day. The New York Sun doesn’t want Chaun cey Mitchell Depew elected President, be cause ho would then make no more witty after-dinner speeches. A Wall street financier says: “Railroads are not made to carry freight and passen gers; their chief purpose is to carry bonds.” The saying contains a great deal of truth. In describing a recent tornado a Western cowboy said: “It was a wind* that just sat up on its hind legs and howled.” The pos sibilities of the United States language are great, indeed. The Houston Post says: “Keep reaching out. It pays.” There is a man in the Sa vannah jail who kept reaching out —for other people’s property, and he is of the opinion that it doesn’t pay. It is said that there are thirty newspaper correspondents in Atlanta, and all except two are Anti-Prohibitionists. The two Pro hibitionists ought to devote their energies to reclaiming their erring brethren. The presence of the German and Austrian Princes in this country will doubtless have a bad effect upon the “It‘s English, you know” dudes of New York. It will divide their shallow' affections and addle their littlp brains. The London correspondent of the New York Tribune says that he buys Harper's Magazine for 10c. loss, the Century for 3c. less and St. Nicholas for 7c. less in England than the prices charged in this country. He thinks the fact strange. A Republican Congressman tolls a West ern paper that the business of the country has prospered under a Democratic adminis tration. His name was withheld, it is pre sumed, because he feared his truthful state ment might get him into trouble with his party. Mr. White law Reid, editor of the New York Tribune, thinks that if the Republi can National Convention should be held within a month Mr. Blaine would lie nomi nated on the first ballot. He is willing, however, that Sherman, Harrison, Gresliam, Allison or Sheridan should be nominated. It will make little difference whom the Re publicans nominate, as the next President is cei-tain to be a Democrat. In Brooklyn the other night one Louis Deblan furnished the music for an enter tainment at the residence of Giuseppi Meria. Deblan used an accordion. Alfonzo Definio, a guest, endured the music ns long as he could, and then, when his Italian nature could no longer bear the intense suffering caused by the dreadful sounds, he drew a razor and cut Deblan’s throat. This ought to be a warning to persons who play the ac cordion, and it suggests that Definio would be a useful man to turn loose among certain piano players. Mr. Blaine might ns well withdraw from the race. Senator Sherman is the hero of a sensation which the Maine statesman can never hope to rival. It seems that while the Senator was in Cuba a party of outlaws, composed of the most dangerous elements of Cuban banditti, arranged to capture him. Fortunately for the Senator’s safety, he left the locality intended as the scene of the outrage just five minutes Is-fore the outlaws arrived. Why the outlaws wished to capture the Senator is not quite clear, unless they wanted to make use of him in keeping the Cuban climate cool. Senator Hawley said, a short time ago, that he was not alarmed at the idea of a Labor candidate in the next Presidential contest, and that the laiior question would be settled to the satisfaction of the Labor element. General Master Workman Pow derly now says to the Senator: “The worthy Senator is warned not to forget that we are an ‘element’ end that the elements are a very unreliable and dim gen ms quantify." Conservative workingmen will hardly like the implication contained in the General Master Workman's words. The truth is, he talks too much for liis good, as the fight against him now going on in some of the district assemblies proves.

W tUfaun Mr. Clews and His Bonds. Mr. Henry Clews, the Wall street finan cier, bobs up every once in a while in con nection with his bogus Georgia bonds. The other day he had his name put up for mem bership in the New York Cotton Exchavge, but learning that there was opposition to him ho withdrew it. It was reported that he was afraid that he would be blackballed. The two members who opposed his admission were Mr. Fred. Wolfe and Mr. John In man. Mr. Wolfe, it will lie remembered, took the whole seiies of new Georgia bonds, and when he tried to have them listed on the New York Stock Exchange he was de feated by Mr. Henry Clews. Mr. Clews based his opposition on the ground that Georgia owed him about $5,000,000 on bonds which she refused" to pay. He did not say, however, that his bonds were Ixtgus, and that Georgia refused to pay them on that account. Mr. Inman’s opposition to Mr. Clews w-as based on an alleged financial transaction which Mr. Clews’ firm had with the State of Alabama. Mr. Inman’s state ment of this transaction is not creditable to Mr. Clews. On tho other hand, Mr. Clews’ statement with respect to it places him in tho position of having acted most honorably, and having lost a good many hundred thousand dollars by the failure of Alabama to comply with her contract. It seems strange, if Mr. Clew s’ story is true, that he did not permit his name to stand for membership in the Cotton Exchange and make an explanation of his Alabama business. Perhaps ho was afraid to have Mr. Inman ask him questions, Mr. Clews loses no opportunity to attack the credit of Georgia by pointing to his unpaid and unrecognized bonds. He knew, however, when he bought the bonds what their character was, be cause he had been warned through tho press. He took them for what they were worth, and he is out of humor now becauso he finds they are worth nothing. The Governor Acts. A few days ago the Morning News called attention to the suspicious delay at tending the arrest of .certain citizens of Macon who were indicted for complicity in the lynching of ex-Policeman James Moore on Aug. 12 last. These citizens were in dieted at the October term of Bibb Superior Court, but no arrests were made until the Governor offered rewards, although there is reason to believe they might have been made if the officers of the law had exercised even ordinary vigilance. In calling attention to the matter the Morn ing News was actuated by its sense of duty toward both the Governor and the State, and also by the hope that the Governor would take steps to break up what appeared to be a combination between court officials and detectives to bleed the State Treasury. It is a gratifying evidence of Gov. Gordon’s faithful performance of his duties that he has taken prompt action in this mat ter. He has written to the Hon. T. J. Sim mons, Judge of Bibb Superior Court, calling attention to the fact that, although the in dictments had been standing four months, no arrests were made until rewards were offered, and then three of the indicted persons were arrested within a few hours after notice of the offering of the rewards reached Macon. Gov. Gordon calls on Judge Simmons to investigate the matter, and to take whatever action may be necessary. Judge Simmons has the reputation of lieing impartial and fearless in the discharge of his duties, and there is no reason to doubt that his action will be as prompt as that of the Governor. Those who are familiar with the work ings of the courts in Goorgia are of the opinion that some of the officials connected with them are unworthy of public confi dence. As tho Morning News stated when it called attention to the delayed ar rests ut Macon, similar constantly occurring elsewhere in the State. Scarcely a week passes that a reward is not offered for the arrest of some criminal whom, it is alleged, the authorities cannot find, and yet the arrest almost invariably follows imme diately after the reward is offered. The Governor is not to be blamed for offering re wards, because it is his duty to do so. 'A close and vigorous examination into the matter, however, is in order, and when it is made it will be shown that the State has been long and systematically defrauded. It is not out of place to add a few words commendatory of Gov. Gordon. His prompt action in tho ease under discussion is in keeping with all his acts since his inaugura tion. It is plain that he is trying to dis charge his duties faithfully and without any purpose of making political capital. The Commission at Atlanta. The Interstate Commerce Commission will be in Atlanta to-morrow, and its ses sions there promise to be very interesting ones. Efforts will be made, doubtless, to have tho suspension of the long and short haul clause of the Intel-state commerce law made permanent, and also to have the clause enforced at once. One thing appears to be pretty certain, and that‘is that the in terior towns will work together against the seaports. The Columbus Board of Trade has appointed a committee to bilk to tho commission, and there are other towns, doubtless, which will he represented before the commission by committees. . Savannah is deeply interested in this meet ing at Atlanta. A decision based upon the data collected there may influence a very largo amount of direction of as much as 200,000 bules of cot ton. Would it not lie well, therefore, for Savannah’s trade bodies to see that tho city's interests are properly cared for before tho commission I Can Savannah afford to ignore this import ant meeting while other cities of tho State are fighting for their interests! It may be thut. there will lie nothing proposed which, if adopted, would hurt this city, but it is impossible to know beforehand what tho commission will lie asked to do. It would lie well, therefore, for Savannah to be repro seated at Atlanta by some of her business men. Johns Hopkins wanted the university which Imars his name erected on his large estate of Clifton, just outside of the limits of Baltimore. The trustees failed to carry out his wishes, however, and the univerJty was erected ill the city. Miss Mary Garrett, the iaily daughter of John \V.

THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, APRIL 25, 1887. Home Truths Overlooked. The Boston Advertiser works itself into a passion because the students of the State University who were recently engaged in an attempt to fight a duel have been allowed to resume their studies. The Ad vertiser reviews tile case in the usual preju diced maimer in which it deals with all matters that,affect tho South, and finishes with the suggestion that the university is not a safe place for young men who are op posed to dueling. There i.-; little profit in recriminations, but it will do no harm to call the Advertiser's attention to the fact that disturbances are much more frequent in Northern than in Southern colleges. It is not on record that college students in the South have terror ized a whole town l>y bloody and disgrace ful fights among themselves, but it is rela tive to Northern college students. Southern students have not yet hazfcd one of their number until he died, but such a case oc curred not many years ago in a Northern college. The Morning News does not uphold dueling. On the contrary, it believes it is a custom more honored in the breach than in the observance. In view of the disturb ances in Northern colleges, however, there is no consistency in the Advertiser's severe criticism of the State University. Discipline in Southern colleges is remark ably good. It is seldom that cases occur which require the condemnation of the col lege authorities. The incident at the State University was tho fn-st of the kind that lias occurred in Georgia in many years, and it is not probable that another like it will occur in the near future. The young men concerned did not carry out their pur pose to fight, but wisely allowed friends to settle the difficulty. The faculty of the university punished the young men for their breach of discipline, and theii allowed them to resume their studies under conditions honorable to them and the uni versity. Tho Advertiser's passion is apparently more the result of malice than anything else. There is no objection to its criticising the course of the authorities of the univer sity in restoring the young men to their places, provided it does so in the right spirit. The Presidential Outlook. It appears to be admitted that Judge Pay son is the ablest Republican from Illinois in public life. He has long been a member of the House of Representatives, and he makes his influence felt in'that body. Speaking of the approaching Presidential contest the other day he said: “I have no more doubt that Mr. Cleveland will be renominated if he lives than I have that I am now talking w ith you. As to w hat the final result will be, that depends upon circumstances. The country is in a very prosperous condition now. If this continues throughout Mr. Cleveland’s term it will be greatly in his favor.' I believe this country is naturally Republican, and it is but logical to think we will be restored to power, but circumstances may combine against us. “If the surplus is let out of the Treasury and the prosperity of the country continues, if business is active and there is a healthy condition of affairs generally throughout the country, Mr. Cleveland’s chances of re election will be greatly increased. Some thing depends upon whom the Republicans nominate. I think Mr. Blaine is weaker than his party. Ido not have any of that feeling about him that some Republicans have. If he were nominated I could sup port him heartily. Yet I recognize that he would lose many Republican votes, and his chances of success, therefore, would not he as good as those of some other man. I can not say whom wo are likely to nominate.” This is a very frank and fair opinion from a Republican standpoint. It almost amounts to an admission that fir. Cleve land will bo re-elected. It is an opinion, however, that will not give pleasure to the Blaine Republicans, but isn’t it a fact that Blaine is losing ground! The prospects for his renomination do not appear to boas bright as they were. Gen. Adam Iladeau had a story in a Now York paper, not long ago, to the effect that Gen. Robert E. Lee and his family, upon the former’s return to his home after the sur render of the Confederate army at Appo mattox, were fed for a time by the Federal commissary. Gov. Fitzhugh Lee denies the truth of tho story. He says: “When Gen. Lee returned from Appomattox Court House he found his family living in Rich mond in tin- house in which lie had left them. While not living in affluence, they were not lacking in the necessaries of life. Shortly after his return the people of Richmond anil elsewhere vied with each other in sending to Gen. Let- everything requisite for tho com fort of himself and family, presuming that having been in tho field he was not able to provide for them as comfortably as he would like. ’ We regret to see that the New York World does not think well of the New York Sun's candidate for President. This is what it says of him: What a delicious piece of tomfoolery it is to talk of William Tell Coleman, of Cali fornia, in connection with the Presidency! Mr. Coleman is about as much known ns Gassier Smith or Julius (Vsiir Brown. He is a successful merchant and has grown rich attending to his business in his own way. Of course, he pays the freight. We thought it was Jones, of Binghamton, who pays tho freight, but if it is Mr. W. Tell Coleman that settles it. It would s>e interesting to know what Brown tho World refers to. Mr. Janus Russell Lowell has sailed for England, where he will sju-nd the summer. He sailed on the Pavonia from Boston. Just before his departure a reporter tried to interview him, but the victim of reportorial perfidy rein vsl to talk much. What he did say was: “I don’t wish to see you at all. 1 don’t like reporter*. It's nobody's biuim .; where 1 am going. Why, it's getting so nowadays that u man has no privacy at all. I shan’t say a word. I believe if a limit should die a reporter would try to interview him and find out whore he was going.” Mr. Lowell has evidently determined to boycott tho reporters.

"Oh, well,” was the reply, “I don’t, like a young girl, pout about t l ilies, but if I want a man I make him believe that ho is the test and smartest individual I ever met. That always settles it, for a man loses ills head as soon as a woman begins flattering him.— Philadelphia Herald. “Why, Jones, what are you doing in the city ?” inquired Robinson. “I thought you were going to sail for Euroiie on yesterday’s steamer.” ‘’l thought so, too; but a woman arrested me for breach of promise, just as the steamer was about to start.” “Breach of promise!

An Irish provincial paper inserted the follow ing notice: “Whereas, Patrick O’Connor lately left his lodgings, this is to give notice that if he does not return immediately and pay for the same, he will lie advertised.” A countryman of the author of the above, not to be outdone in the same line, announced in an Irish journal that, among other portraits, lie had a represen tation of "death as large as life.” But one of the latest -if Irish bulls is the following from an editorial in one of tho leading papers of the Nationalist party the other day; "So long as Ireland was silent under her wrongs.

At the meeting of the National Academy of Sciences C'apt. C. E. Dutton, who is in charge of the division of volcanic geology in the geological survey, gave an. interesting abstract of the re sults of the investigation of the fcharleston earthquake. Capt. Dutton said: ‘‘lris the best observed earthquake on record, as reports have been received from over 1,600 localities and from over C,500 reporters. The outer limits at which the shock were felt were Boston. St. Johnshury, Vt.; Burlington, Vt.; the Northern Adirou dacks, Toronto, Green Bay, AVis; Prai rie du Chien. Des Moines, Springfield, Mo.; New Orleans, Sagua Ist Grande in Cuba, and Bermuda. The greatest distances reached were about 1,000 miles, and the area shaken from 2,500,000 to 3.000,000 square miles. Every where within 250 miles of ('narieston the shocks were severe enough to shake down chimneys and crack walls, destroy plastering, overturn light objects, and generally create a profound feeling of alarm, especially among the negroes ami more ignorant classes. AVithin 100 miles few buildings escaped injury. "The central portion of the shock, comprising an area of about eighteen miles wide and thirty miles long, lias been studied with spec ial care. There were three foci, or centres, from each of which a distinct shock originated. The most powerful one is situated about sixteen and a half miles northwest of Charleston, and the other two at intervals of six miles along aline extending southward from the first." Capt. Dutton has devised anew method of computing the depth of the focus, which gives a depth of twaive miles, with a, probable error not greatly exceeding one mile. The depth of the Charleston focus proves it to have been one of the deepest among the earthquakes of the last 150 years, estimates much greater than twelve miles being regarded as probably erroneous. The most surprising result reached is the great speed with which the impulses traveled, the ve locity exceeding three miles per second. Former estimates, based upon insufficient and inaccu rate time reports, have given results varying from one third to one-eighth of that velocity. In this earthquake the time records, though not quite so accurate as could be wished, are very much superior to those obtained in any preced ing ones. \\ itli regard to the question whether the Charleston earthquake throws any new light upon the causes of such events the Captain's views are non-committal. AN ASTONISHED BRITON. An Englishman Seeking Light on Sulll van’e Visit to the President. From B ashington Letter to the Jr 111 isville Courier-Journal. At the Ebbitt house the other evening I fell into conversation with William Fairfax, a well educated and extensively traveled Englishman. When I told him that I was a newspaper cor respondent he said: ‘‘AVell, you can tell me something, I am sure, that I am a little curious to know. Some of the papers, you know, re lated a story not long since, that the President of your country actually received and treated with the greatest respect that bloody prize fighter Sullivan. Now, is that so?" I told him that the President merely shook hands with Sullivan at one of his regular recep tions, as it was the custom at these receptions to shake hands with all callers. The English man said: “Well, now you know I did not think he would give his hand to such a low-bred wretch. It does not look right that he should, you know. A gentleman never shakes hands with a tough. Now in England, you know, a fellow like Sullivan would not be admitted among people of respectability, much less in the presence of the royal family. This is a curi ous country you have here, as far as your cus toms and manners are concerned, but notwith standing you all seem to be getting along very nicely.” "So we are.” IS IT A PREHISTORIC COFFIN? A Strange Find Which Puzzles the Peo ple of Kansas City. From the ATete York Herald. A discovery of an extraordinary character was made in the immediate vicinity of Kansas City yesterday morning by workmen engaged n digging a cistern for the residence in course of erection for Air. L. E. James. The men had excavated about two feet in depth when the tools used struck against some hard substance, and upon removbig the earth it was found to be of iron. It was then carefully dug around until discovered to be of about the dimensions of a coffin. The startling find was then completely exhumed and found to be a cast iron receptacle of weight sufficient to tax the strength of four men to lift, fashioned roughly to fit a corpse, the ends being only wide enough to accommo date the head and feet, while near the middle it is as wide as an ordinary coffin at the broad est part. On the upper face it pretty much fol lows the shape of the human body which it is supposed to contain, except that over the face and chest the surface is quite flat, being evident ly the seat of the plates which act the part of lids to the novel receptacle. Screws or fins hold the plates in position, but the heads are so rusted that there is no way of opening it with out bursting it in some violent manner. The outline is that of the receptacles in which some of the ancient kings have been found encased in some Oriental lands. The Boston Idea of Hades. From the Boston Record. One of the best and brightest girls of the Back Bay teaches a Sunday school class in a certain famous Orthodox church. List Sunday she grew very earnest picturing to the eager in fants who surrounded her the joys of heaven to be won by those who live and trust in a way to deserve them. “You must love the Lord,” she said, ‘‘and be just as good as you know how to be. You must never get into tempers, you must never tell naughty stories, you must always mind your mammas, and be good in every way you know how, and then you will be sure to go to heaven when you die. AVon't that lie nice?" "Yes, ma'am," lisped all the babies before her. "But if you are bad," and she looked relent ingly Into the innocent faces before her. “you won't go to heaven. If you are had," and she took a firm grip on the doctrine she tog called onto teach. “If you are bad, my dear chil dren, you will go to hell, aud that—that—"she groped fora word aud ended eloquently, “and that would be perfectly ridiculous.'’ Life Saved by a Dog-’s Intelligence.

Twenty years ago no photograph was more often seen than that of President Lincoln sit ting with a big book on his knee, and his little son Tad leaning against him and looking at it with him. The book was then thought to be a Bible, but it wasn’t. It was Photographer Brady's picture album, which the President was examining with his'son while some ladies stood by. The artist begged the President to remain quiet, and the picture was taken. Wall street is inquiring what has become of all the trade dollars. Up to the present time the sub-treasury has received but about $2,700.- 000 for redemption and the applications nave nearly ceased. The few that are offered come chiefly from the country.

In many places the peat is eut by hand machines, but these, although cheap and easy to work, have the drawback that the peat cannot be worked below eight feet, whereas the peat cutting machines worked by steam power penetrate twenty feet, and reach the lower, denser layers of peat, which, ovv ing to their superior quality, command a higher price in the market. M. Ligner, an Austrian meteorologist, claims to have ascertained after careful investigation that the moon has an influence on a magnetized needle varying with its phases and its declina tion. The phenomenon is said to be more prominently noticcuble when the moon is near the earth, aud to be very marked when she is passing from the full to her first or second quar ter. The disturbances are found to be at their maximum when the moon is in the plane of the equator, and greater during the southern than it is during the northern declination. “Down in Missouri the other day,” said a drummer, “I came across one of the queerest eases I ever heard of, It was a commercial traveler who can neither read nor write.

The water supply of tho various European capitals affords some interesting facts, not the least notable of which is that Rome heads the list with her 201,000.000 litres of pure water—a litre being a little more than 134 pints - every twenty-four hours, and. as her population is 345,036. every inhabitant can thus dispose of nearly COO litres per day.
