An Unfounded Dispatch.
It turns out that the Washington corre-
Sjionacnt of tho Missouri Republican, who
s< nt to his ] taper the statement that the
President had announced tlrnt ho would not
accept a renomination if it were offered to
him, did not have a very solid foundation
for his dispatch. The Senator to whom ho
referred as having had tho remarkable
conversation in question with the I’resi
dent is Mr. Vest, of Missouri.
Mr. Vest did have a talk with the Presi
dent, about appointments, and the question
of a renomination was spoken of during the
conversation. The Senator says, however,
that the President did not tell him that ho
would not accept a renoratnation, and that
he is not responsible for the publication in
the riewspa])CTh which puts the President in
the position of saying that he doesn’t want a
second term and will not be a candidate for
the Presidency again.
Mr. Vest lielieves, however, from what
he heard the President say that ho is not
anxious for n second terai, and tiiat he will
make no effort for a renomination. There is
good reason for thinking that this is the
President's true position. He is trying to
give the country a clean,safe, economical ad
ministration, and the people believe ho is
succeeding. He is not making appointments
with any other aim than that of having the
laws administered honestly and faithfully,
and he will be satisfied if lie is permitted to
return to private life at the end of liis pres
ent term.
It is not probable, however, that lie will
refuse a renomination. He will not lie re
nominated unless it is believed that his pros
pects of being elected are more promising
than those of any other Democrat, and he
would not be at liberty to refuse to be a
candidate under such circumstances.
It is noticeable that the little opposition
to him that has shown itself from time to
time is gradually disappearing. This is be
cause the dissatisfied politicians are begin
ning to find out that the people regard him
with favor.
Trained Men In Railroading.
The New York Sun, in an interesting ar
ticle entitled, “The Science and Art of
Railroading,” presents some important facts
to show the advantage of having railroads
managed by trained and practical men.
While men are trained for the professions,
and for about all the manufacturing indus
tries, very little attention is paid to training
them in railroading.
The .S'u u calls attention to men who man
age some of the leading railroads of the
country, and argues that those who have re
ceived practical instruction in their business
make by far the most successful and satis
factory officials. Their roads are always in
first-class order and are, therefore, always
in condition to respond promptly to any un
usual amount of business. Thera is
less danger of accidents upon such roads,
and a lietter return is generally obtained
from the money invested in them. <?f
course there are roads managed by men who
were trained ns lawyers, merchants, etc.,
which are successful, but the number is not
large.
The Sun refers to the change in the man
agement of the Georgia Central and says:
“The recent election of Gen. K. I’ortor
Alexander, a distinguished graduate of
West Point, and for many years a close
student of scientific railroading, as Presi
dent, of the Georgia Central, and his selection
of Mr. M. S. Belknap, a graduate of VEcole
PolytechniifU* of Paris, as General Manager,
may be considered as the most conspicuous
effort of the day to sedura in the South a
management comtnning the highest tech
nical education with the practical knowledge
gained by long experience. The result can
scarcely be doubtful, although it is certain
that many railroads are fiuaneinlly success
ful without such management, while not a
few have failed with it.”
(There is no doubt that tho percentage of
men trained for their railroad work is
greater now thmi ever liefore, and there is
good reason for thinking that it will in
crease. Experience shows that, as a rule,
men are valuable to great railroad corpora
tious in proportion to thopreparatory train
ing they have had in the line of their work.
Nova Scotia and Annexation.
The people of Nova Scotia appear to think
that there would be no trouble in uniting
their fortunes with this country, provided
they could sever their relations to the Do
minion and Great Britain. The resolution
introduced into the provincial assembly a
few days ago, providing for an inquiry into
the financial and political condition of the
province, with the view' of repealing the
Union and asking permission of this govern
ment to become one of the United States,
shows that they are becoming prepared fop
a political change of some sort/
Tiiey arc dissatisfied now, and have been
for a long time, with the government at
Ottawa. They do not think they are given
the consideration they ameutitled to. They
are quite heavily taxed and are an impor
tant part of the Union, and yet their influ
euce in the government amounts to very
little. Their interests are overlooked.
Neither Nova Scotia nor any other part
of the Dominion bus ever received from this
country any encouragement of the annexa
tion idea. Annexation has been discussed
it; Canada and in tins country, but there lias
bt- 1 developed in this country no marked
sentiment in favor of acquiring territory to
the north of us. The fact is, the United
States have ail the territory they
want nt present, n:id don’t care about
acquiring more. Nothing would be gained
by this country in acquiring Canada. Tim
people of Cauaila would, of course, guin
something by annexation. If Cimada were
to become n part of this country Canadian
manufactories and industries of all sort-,
would bo twice iv, prosjierouH us they arc
now The people would be much more con
tented. That they are dissatisfied is
shown by the fnct that many thousands of
tic in emigrate to this country every year.
There may be a time when Canada and
the llnit.-d Slates will come together.
Thcv differ very little now in tlieir Jaws
nod - usUmis, uud the difference is gradually
growing less marked If l Icy are ever
under one flag it will be largely due to the
effort* of tic poopla of 1.l .• Dominion. It

take the ilrst step in tliut direction.

TIIE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, APRIL 26, 1887.
The Schnae'oele3 Episode.
It is not probable that arrest of M.
Sehnael>eles by the German police will be the
cause of war between Germany and France.
There will In’ a great ‘leal of diplomatic cor
respondence about the matter, but the end
of all of it will be that M. Schnacbeles will
be punished if lie was rightly arrested and
released if his arrest was without the war
rant of law.
When the little collector of customs at
Pagny-Sur Marne was first arrested there
was an itmm.-n.so amount of excitement in
France, and the French press began to talk
war at once. The French people were told
that the arrest had been ordered by Bis
marck for the purpose of bringing about a
conflict between the two nations, and the
money market responded at once to the in
fluence of tile war feeling.
The first reports did indeed look as if the
German police had been hasty, and had done
something for which France would have the
right to demand an a(>ology, but subse
quent reports put an entirely different face
upon the matter. The story from German
sources is that M. Schnacbeles had been in the
habit of crossing over the frontier, not in
the way of business, but as the agent of the
Patriotic Longue, whose avowed object is
the restoration of Alsace-Lorraine to France.
He had been susjxx'ted for some time by the
German authorities, and at last, when suffi
cient evidence of his treasonable designs
liad been obtained, his arrest had been or
dered.
This latter version of the affair had a
very quieting effect in Paris. It was seen
at once that the situation was not at all seri
ous, and that the arrest had not been or
dered without cause, or tor the purpose of
bringing about a war. Indeed, when the
French people came to think about it, they
saw at once that Bismarck would hardly
think of inaugurating a great war many such
childish way. For the present, therefore,
both France and Germany may dismiss
their fears of war. It is probable that their
diplomatists will luivc a war of words re
specting the fate of M. Schnacbeles, but
that sort of war will be amusing rather than
terrifying.
A Mistrial.
Tile Fogarty trial ended in a disagreement
of the jury. This result was not a surprise.
When an agreement was not reached within
a few hours after the jury retires! a mistrial
was expected. When the trial began few,
if any, thought there would be a disagree
ment, and when the ease was given to the
jury every fair-minded man must have ex
pected a verdict quickly.
There is no fault to be found with the So
licitor General. The case for the State was
ably and clearly presented, and there is no
fault to be found with file Judge. The scales
of justice were held evenly and the law was
stabs 1 plainly. Is there any fault to be
found with the jury? That is a question
which every citizen must answer for him
self. It is a question that concerns
the whole community and is well
worth thinking about. We don’t want to
comment on the ease, because the defendant
is soon to be tried again, and we wish him to
have a fair trial, but the thought cannot be
avoided that it is remarkable that a disa
greement among the jury was possible when
there was apparently but one opinion enter
tained by the public.
Those who think of this case seriously
will wonder whether there isn't something
wrong with the moral tone of the com
munity. And let them think of some other
things. One of them is this: Is it right for
influential citizens to shirk jury duty?
Another is this: Do all of those who claim
to be good citizens do all they can to make
crime odious?
The case of Julio R. Santos promises soon
to come to the front again to bother the
Htate Department. The case is one with
which the whole country is familiar since it
has been very generally published and com
mented upon. The Washington correspon
dent of the New York Times
reviews it, and gives some of its most
important jioints. Santos is a native of
Ecuador, but has been a citizen of this coun
try for a long time. His father died in
Ecuador a few years ago. and he went there
to settle up the estate. He was arrested on
some trumped-up charge and thrown into a
filthy dungeon. He asked the protection of
the United States. Secretary Bayard made
several demands for his release, but they
were laughed at by the President of Ecua
dor. Secretary Bayard then called on Secre
tary Whitney for aid, and several vessels of
the Pacific squadron were dispatched
to Ecuador with instructions to
release Santos. The President of
Ecuador turned his prisoner over to the
United States naval officers. Mr. Santos
came to this country mid had an interview
with Secretary Bayard. He intimated that
he would put in a claim for about SIOO,OOO
indemnity The case was placed in the
hands of local attorneys and Santos return
ed to Ecuador to gather testimony. Last
week his attorneys tiled a long argument
with Secretary Bayard, in which the claim
for indemnity was placed at (AM. The
Secretary’s approval of a request that tiie
matter lie submitted to arbitration will
probably lie obtained, for iie Is of the
opinion that Santos is entitled to some in
demnity, but not so much as he claims. The
attorneys say that they will not Lie satisfied
with Secretary Bayard's consent to arbitra
tion, but, to make tho action of the govern
ment more binding, will also endeavor to
secure the approval of the S mate.

Mr. Cleveland is doing his duty to the party

administration of affairs he is greatly

he would be neglecting his duty.
His Intellectual Vigor Unimpaired.

Mr. Jefferson Davis loses none of his force as
a writer with the lapse of time that has made
him an old man. when he writes to the ladies
of Charleston of his personal acquaintance with
Calhoun. Clay anti Webster, it is easier to
realize how long he has been concerned with
the public affairs of the country, and how- re
markable it is that he retains his intellectual
vigor unimpaired.

OLD NICK WON.
Chickens Break Up a Meeting of the
Salvation Army.
From the New York Star.
There is a detachment of the Salvation Army
encamped at Mount Kisco. They go about in
files in and out of town making war on the
devi! and charging on the wicked. On Thurs
day night a squad of these warriors swooped
down or Pleasantvilie, and occupied the hall
there as a base of operations. There were five
of them, rang and tile—three men ami two
women, and their conduct, it is said, was not of
the best. During the racket which they kicked
up, some mischievous young, man lowered two
chickens down through a trap door from the
loft. The chickens were tied with strings about
their legs. .They were intercepted by a wicked
and irreverent young man who cut ‘the string
and set them loose. Each chicken had a griev
ance and he proceeded to adjust if at once.
When the chickens l>egau to settle their differ
ences Captain and Brother Wolf was praying.
He was an his knees and the wicked fowls were
close in his wake. The Captain was very \< ud
and eloquent. lie prayed that the wicked men
and women of the world may be turned from
their sin and follow the path of the Lord. The
chickens had by this time climbed on his neck
and were clawing his hair and making “the fur
fly" in the most exciting manner. There was a
general uproar. The audience cheered, groaned,
whistled, stamped and carried on such a noisy
campaign that the Salvationists were forced to
quit the hall. When in the open air the boys
hooted and gibed th**n, threw mud at them and
whooped things un quite lively. The battle,
they say. was fought by the devil. The Salva
tion Army beat a hasty retreat.
“FIGARO’S” DESCENDANTS.
A Barber of Seville Who Never Heard
of His Operatic Predecessor.
George R. Sims in the Referee.
In Seville, before seeing the sights, I went to
a barber's shop to have my hair curled and to
be shaved, and to be generally put straight after
fifteen horn's in the train. I asked my “Figaro”
if he was the barber of Seville. Tie shook his
head denrecatingly and said: **Xo. but he was
one of them.” I explained to him that I wanted
to know if he was the immortal Barber of Se
ville —that it was a mild joke. lie said that
there wen* so many barbers in Seville. He had
never heard of Count Alina viva, but he knew a
Hosina. She was working in the great tobacco
factory of Seville and was very pretty.
1 lost my patience. I cried: “Great heavens,
man. you are a barber of Seville, and you never
heard of the Bar!er of Seville, who is in an
opera known all over the world!” The man
thought for a little while, and then exclaimed:
“Ah. I know what you mean now. They show
a shop to tourists where a barber once lived
who aid something. But I didn’t know it was
true about him. The guides here make so many
stories for the tourists!"
I left the barber of Seville sad and downcast.
I had expected that all the time he was shaving
me he would he singing the best known airs of
the opera. And he didn't even know who Figa
ro was.
Capt. Richardson Owned the Bogus
Ingots.
From the New York Tribune.
The owner of the gold Ingots deposited at the
Assay Office a few days ago and found * ex
amination to be bogus visited the Assay Office
yesterday morning. It was Cant. Ben Richard
son. of Harlem, a famous California pioneer,
who lives in an old house in One-hundred-and
sixteenth street, near Third avenue, and in late
years has been distinguished principally as the
owner of a coach which once belonged to Wash
ington. It has been his habit for many years to
take part in great parades, seated in the anti
quated vehicle. His wealth, as well as the
possession of the Washington coach, have made
nim an interesting feature on many occasions.
The old man is frequently seen in Wall street,
ami it is said that he is not averse, once in a
while, to taking a “flyer” in the stock market.
He is estimated to be worth several millions
and, if common report may be believed, has a
keen appreciation of the value of every dollar
of his fortune.
Mr. Richardson did not think it worth his
while, however, to take away the precious gold
bars which la* hail brought a few days before to
the Assay Office. lie was convinced by Refiner
Martin that they were com i>ara lively worthless,
and after one rond look at them he left the
building without making known his wishes in
regard to what may be placed among the many
curiosities in his home. Mr. Richardson said in
reply to persistent inquiries that he had bought
the bricks for Si.ooo from two men who pre
tended to be miners. The bricks were the pro
duct of a Western mine, the name and place of
which the men were anxious to keep secret
until the value of tbe ore had l)een established.
Little samples were bored out of the bricks, ac
cording to the usual rules of the game, and of
course they were found on assay to be pure
gold. After this careful examination the old
“Forty-niner" became the owner of the bricks.
It is belie veil that Capt. Richardson spent much
time yesterday in a fruitless hunt for the two
Western miners, whose mine is still unknown
and nameless.
The bogus bricks were shown freely at the
Assay Office. They are coated with the cheap
bronzing preparation frequently applied to iron
work.
Life’s Too Short.
Stranger, when you're in the clutches
Of some ancient bore—
Some old “button-holer, 11 such as
Oft you've met before;
And you wish had luck would take him
And his “pesky” sort.
You can very quickly shake him— t
Tell him life's too short.
Nothing else will “snuff" him quicker—
Nip his long discourse-
Nothing else will do it slicker,
Asa last resource.
There's a triteness in the saying
'Tis a fit retort—
When an ass is at yon braying,
Tell him life's too short.
There's the omnipresent fakir
With his latest “fake,"
Who. for playing honest Quaker,
Ever trtKes the cake.
But you do not want to buy it,
Not hing of the sort.
Stretch yourself and yawn—just try it—
Tell him life's too short.
So the life insurance agent
And his wily clique.
Followed by a motley pageant
Noted for their cheek
And the man with scheme financial
And his shrewd cohort,
Giving detail circumstantial,
Tell him life's too short.
Take this lift!** pointer, stranger,
‘Tis a friendly *‘Up.”
An 1 you 11 eVr escape the danger
Of tiie “gas-bag's grip
When liis fine work in he's getting,
Take a tack to port.
Sweetly smile, and, while regretting,
Tell him life’s too short.
—Emile I'ukuart (“Mentor.")
