editor of the Argus says: “Weare living in

louses and churches, but still our future
oks gloomy, for there are no girls here to
make us wives. There is one girl living in our
district who had eighty offers of marriage
within two months, flow there are four
more girls in the district. That will leave
about seventy-five men, mostly young and
middle-aged, who don’t know where to get
wives. (Mu’ wealth ranges from S2OO to

divided. All denominations are found here,
and in general we ore of a good, moral cliar
icter. Will some girls kindly correspond
with us? We shall be glad to answer every
letter faithfully.”
McGlynn’s Case Sottied.
Tho letter of the Pope to Archbishop Cor
rigan, which we published in our disjmtches
Sunday, indicates very clearly that the
head of the Catholic church does not pro
pose to show further leniency to Dr. Me-
Glynn. He must choose at once between
his Socialistic teachings and his allegiance
to tho Catholic church. He cannot longer
advocate the Henry George theory that
ownership in laud is robbery, and retain his
priestly office.
Dr. McGlynn has all along contended
that, the Poi>e had not investigated Henry
George's land theories, and that when he did
he would find in them nothing inconsistent
with the teachings of the Catholic church.
The letter, however, leaves no doubt that
he has examined them and that he con
demns them.
In this connection it is worthy of notice
that the effort to induce the Pope to con
demn the Knights of Labor failed. No good
reason appeared, when their case was dis
cussed at Rome, why the church should in
terfere with an organization of workingmen
which had only legitimate purposes in view.
The Knights of Labor organization, how
ever, is a very different thing from the land
confiscation scheme which Henry
George and Dr. McGlynn are
advocating. The purpose of the
former is the improvement of the condition
of workingmen, though various causes may
prevent that purpose from being accomplish
ed. The effect of the latter, if it were car
ried out, would bo to overthrow society and
substitute chaos for order. Of course tho
church cannot permit its teachers to advo
cate a scheme so hostile to its best interests
and the interests of society.
The approval of the course of Archbishop
Corrigan,which is very pronounced in the let
ter of the Pope, is the strongest kind of con
demnation of Dr. McGlynn and those who
have sided with him in his disobedience. Dr.
McGlynn knows now that he has been
shown all the consideration that is likely to
be extended to him. He has been dealt with
kindly and has been given every chance to
repair his error. If he still persists in his
course he will be excommunicated. He may
continue to teach Socialism, but he will not
do so as a priest of the Catholic church.
Coroners’ Juries.
The death of Green Riekerson in the Bibb
county jail recalls a case which must be of
interest to all those who watch the proceed
ings of coroners’ juries in this Stated
One Sunday morning upon the Central
railroad track, near Mercer University, in
the city of Macon, a negro man was found
dead. Several trains had passed over him,
and his body was fearfully mangled. By his
clothes, however, lie was identified as a well
known hack man. Most of the Coroner's jury
were of the opinion that the hackman had
had been killed by a train, and such would
have been the verdict if a police officer and
a newspaper reporter had not made objec
tions. These two made a careful examina
tion up and down the track near the spot
where the body was found, and discovered
a pool of blood which indicated that the
unfortunate hackman had been killed and
afterwards placed upon the railroad
track. Upon the suggestion of the
officer and the reporter the jury spent sev
eral days investigating the case, and the
result was a verdict charging Green Riek
erson with having murdered the baekman.
Rickersou was arrested, tried and convicted,
and but for his death would undoubtedly
have suffered the penalty of his crime.
One of the results of the painstaking work
of the jury was that the Central railroad
was saved a suit' for heavy damages. ,
Another was that succeeding coroner’s
juries in Bibb county have made it a rule
to discharge their duties leisurely and with
the object of getting at the truth.
The inefficiency of coroners’ juries in
Georgia has passed into a proverb. The sit
tings are usually short, the examinations
hurried and superficial, ending in the ex
jienditure of the State's money without
compensating results. In most cases the
verdict amounts to nothing more than this:
“We, the jury, find that the dead man now
lying before us is dead.”
Coroners, in common with other officers
of the law, have an important duty to dis
charge. Whenever it is necessary to sum
mon a jury they ought to see that the in
vestigation in hand is a thorough one.
Otherwise the ends of justice may be de
feated. It would be better to spend a month
upon a single investigation than to let a
crime go unpunished.
A cable dispatch to the New York World
tells an interesting story of tho Emporor
William’s escape from death by the prank
of a cat. The Emperor generally regales
himself in front of his bedroom fire with a
supper of fried fish before retiring at night.
With his usual keenness for economizing
time tho old man cats his supper seated on
a patent steaming apparatus ordered by his
physicians. A small boiler is placed
over tho fire, and from this an India
rubber tube conveys steam into a small
cell under the patient’s chair. While
the Emperor was eating his sup
]>or and enjoying the moist heat of the
steam, a puff of smoke and soot came down
the chimney and mode him start so violent
ly that the tube was disconnected ajid tho
boiling water poured all over tho room.
The Emperor’s luck did not desert him,
however, and he escaped without a scald,
to find that a cat attracted by the smell of
the fried fish, had attempted to descend the
chimney and hail got stuck in tha flue, thus
causing the puff of smoke and soot. Hero
after the Emperor's guards will doubtlees
keep a strict watch upon all stray cats.
The Travelers’ Protective Association,
which was in session at Cleveland, 0., last
week, indulged in a heated discussion of the
interstate commerce law. One delegate told
tho correspondent of a New York paper
that the traveling men had resolved to make
themselves felt in politics during the next
Congressional campaign, with a view to
electing representatives favorable to the re
peal of the law. The delegate in question
said of tho law: ‘‘lt is outrageous robbery
in these days of railroad conijietition. In
fact, it destroys all competition ns far ns we
are concerned.” The Travelers’ Protective
Association has a membership of moro than
10,<KK), and a singlo traveling man coil
easily out-talk half a dozen candidates for
Congress.
The other day Mayor Knrcheval, of Nash- ,
ville, received a letter from Philadelphia
notifying him that a plot was on foot to de
stroy all monuments to tho Confederate
dead throughout the Southern States. The
letter stub*! that agents had already started
for Nashville, New Orleans, Charleston,
Columbia and Memphis. It is hardly prob
able tliat such a plot is really on foot, but if
it is the agent* sent South to carry it out
would do well to muko their wills without
delay, ,*
THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, M^ra"lßß7.
Sherman’s Effort in Ohio.
Evidences are multiplying in Ohio that
Senator John Sherman proposes to make
the great effort of his lifo to secure the Presi
dential nomination of his party next year.
It is stated that his managers have been
trying to purchase the support of an influ
ential Cincinnati newspaper, and have
failed. They regard an organ in Cincinnati
as a necessity, but there doesn’t apptar to
be much prospect of their getting one.
The fact npiiears to be that Blaine's friends
are stronger than ever before in Ohio. It is
even hinted that Gov. Foraker stands a
chance of having more of tho delegates to
the national convention than Sherman.
The Governor is the leader of the
young Republicans, and is very popular
with them. He has an idea that the Presi
dential lightning may strike him.
Of course if Shoi-man cannot get the solid
delegation from his own State he will stand
no chance of lining nominated. Indeed, he
would have to decline to permit his name to
go before the convention. He is. a very
shrewd politician, however, and may sur
prise his enomies so far as his own State is
concerned.
Sherman hopes, if he can carry his own
State, that the Southern delegations will
flock to him. It is not improbable that ho
has some hope of getting the colored dele
gates. His trip through the South a couple
of months ago had for its object the stirring
up of the npgro voters. They don’t know
much about him, but if their preachers favor
him hocan depend on them to work and vote
for him, ,
If Mr. Sherman isn’t nominated in 1888
it is not probable ho ever will lie. He is
now quite an old man, and his popularity is
declining. He has been a Presidential can
didate a long while, and the rank and file of
the party are getting tired of him in that
capacity. If he fails next year ho will Ini
eliminated from the Presidential possibili
ties.

The Surplus Problem.
No plan for disposing of the Treasury sur
plus that appears to be generally satisfac
tory has yet been suggested. A day or two
ago the Secretary of the Treasury gave no
tice that he would pay all the outstanding 3
per cents, on July 1. The amount of these
is about $20,000,000. When they are paid
no more bonds will mature for several years.
If any are paid they will have to be pur
chased in the open market, and a pretty high
premium will have to be given for them.
There is not much probability, however,
that the government will purchase bonds.
But what is to be done with the surplus
which is already large, and which will ac- •
cumulate much more rapidly than ever be
fore after July 1? There is a great deal
more money now in the Treasury than there
ought to be. To continue to draw the
money into the Treasury, and to store it
there, will certainly produce financial
trouble. There is not more in circulation
now than is needed.
There have been several plans suggested
for disposing of the surplus, but none of
them seems to meet with general approval.
Some of it might be spent on coast defenses,
but the amount which could lie used that
way would not greatly lessen the surplus.i
The only thing that can be done that
will meet the difficulty is to reduce the tariff,
and if that is done any time within a year
there will have to be an extra session of
Congress. The President appeal’s to be
averse to calling an extra session, but some
of the leaders of the party favor it. The
President may see the necessity for it be
fore the summer is over.
Look After the Drainage,
There have been a good many eases of ty
phoid fever in this city within the last few
months, and some of them have been of a
very malignant type. A physician who is
in a position to speak with authority said yes
terday that in almost every case the cause
of the disease could be traced to bad drain
age. :
There is without doubt a great deal of de
fective plumbing in the city. It is impossi
ble to have healthy homes if sewer gas is
permitted to escape into them. It is not
always possible to detect the presence of this
gas, and the occupants of a house into which
the gas escapes, may suffer for a long time
from it without being seriously ill. Sooner
or later, however, some of them will be
taken down with diphtheria, typhoid fever
or some other disease which is produced by
bad drainage, and then the cause which lias
been undermining their health begins to be
suspected.
It would pay the head of every family to
have his premises thoroughly inspected at
least once a year by a competent sanitary
engineer. The saving in doctor’s bills, let
alone the benefit to health, would many
times more than pay tho cost of such in
spection. Asa general thing, however, we
a/e inclined to think our premises are all
right until we are led to believe otherwise by
the appearance of diseases which are caused
by poisons from closets and sewers.
Responsibility of Quarantine Officers.
The quarantine officers along the Atlantic
coast have a great responsibility resting
upon them. Tho cholera has not disap
peared from South America. On the con
trary, the reports show that it is steadily
making its way northward. Only the
utmost vigilance can keep it out of our
ports. There have been reports of its ap
pearance on the Isthmus of Panama and in
Cuba, but these reports have not been
verified.
The cholera was introduced into Buenos
Ayres through tho negligence of the quaran
tine officer of that port, and thousands
of lives were destroyed by it in that
city and its vicinity. Doubtless it will
claim thousands of other victims in South
America liefore it leaves that country. If
tile scourge gets a foothold in this country it
will bo through lax quarantine regulations
or the carelessness of quarantine officers.
The health authorities of tho whole country
have had fair warning of the threatening
danger.
Henry Chapman, Jr., of Philadelphia, is
the owner of a silver dollar made in 177(1.
It is of the first issue of coin by tho United
States, and is said to lx> tho only one of the
kind now in existanco. On the side bearing
tho value and date appear the inscription,
“Continental Currency,” the representation
of a sun-dial, and the motto, “Mind Your
Business.” On tho other is a chain com
posed of thirteen links, each link containing
tho name of one of the original States, the
whole forming a circle underneath which is
the inscription, “We Are One.” Chapman
values the dollar at SI,OOO. No wonder there
is a demand for a return to “tho dollar of
our daddies.”

CURRENT COMMENT.
The Eoya Don’t Believe It.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer (Bern.)
MV are told that Mr. Blaine is going to Europe
this year for the purpose of carrviug this coun
try for the Presidency next. This may be the
way to run a campaign. Put the boys don't be
lieve it, They want the candidate nearer home
in cases of emergency.
The State Bar.
From the Boston Advertiser (Rep.)
High-minded lawyers all over the country
will be glad that the Georgia association is seek
ing to make it more difficult to enter the pro
fession and to maintain a good standing in it,
that thus it may be counted a distinct achieve
ment to tie reckoned worthy of membership iu
the State bar.
The Answer He Would Make.
From the New York World ( Dem.)
“What answer could President Cleveland
make,' inquires the Tribune, "if Great Britain
should urge payment of the Virginia bonds and
Virginia should refuse to pav? " President Cleve
land would probably tell'Great Britain that
Uncle Sain is not a collector for J. Bull. But if
Mp. Blaine were President he might say. as he
does in his history, that the United States gov
ernment itself should pay the debt of Virginia.
Fortunate O’Brien.
From the Boston Herald ( Ind.)
str. O'Brien, like President Cleveland, is fortu
nate in his enemies. They have helped to make
his Canadian mission a notable success. Ns the
only effect he could hope for was amoral oue,
the opposition of sticks and stones to his plain
,story was the best thing for him and his cause.
If Lansdowne has any other answer to make, he
had hotter make it without loss of time. He is
on trial before the public opinion of America,
including Canada.

IN A COMATOSE CONDITION.
Strange Case of a Boy Suffering From
a Nervous Shock.
A dispatch from Detroit, Mich., to the New
York Times says: David Oppenheini, 15 years
old, is lying at the home of his parents in this
city in a condition which puzzles some of the
best medical talent. He has been employed for
some time as a night messenger,and is spoken of
by his employers as a faithful and intelligent
lad. The hoy's duties usually kept him up until
after daylight. An elder brother who occupies
the same room with David remembers that
about 1 o’clock Sunday morning the latter re
turned home and crept shivering into Vied. His
brother asked what was wrong, but received no
answer and soon afterward fell asleep. When
the family awoke in the morning David was
found with his head covered under the bed
clothes, apparently wide awake but uncon
scious of anything goiDg an around him. When
s]H>ken tone did not answer, but lay staring
wildly about. He remained In this peculiar
condition until the afternoon, when a large
dog tielonging to one of the neighbors
came into tne house. As soon as the boy saw
the animal he uttered a loud shriek anil once
more covered his head with the clothes. When
his mother rushed to his side David exclaimed:
“The dog, the dog, for God's sake put it out ”
After the dog had been ejected the boy became
more quiet, and when pressed by his mother to
tell what was wrong, ho told in n broken voice
that at about 11 o'clock the night before he liad
been sent to take a message to a house on one of
the principal residence streets. When he reached
the house a large black dog jumped from the
gateway and suapped at him. In nis fright the
boy ran, never stopping until he reached his
home. After telling this much David relapsed
into his comatose condition and has remained so
ever since. He spends the entire time in a sort
of doze, only waking sufficiently at long inter
vals to take a little food, and is unable to answer
any question in a rational manner. A number
of leading physicians in the city have been called
in, and all agree that the boy has received a
severe nervous shock, evidently resulting from
fright, and that, the case is one of the most re
markable instances of nervous shock ever com
ing under their notice.
GOV. POINDEXTER’S LIMIT.
An Interesting Game of Poker Which
Bested Three Gamblers.
Fi-om the IndianapoHs Journal.
A game long talked about on the river was
that played by Gov. George Poindexter, of Mis
sissippi. At one time he was fund commissioner,
or something of that kind, for Mississippi. ■ He
had business in New York to negotiate money
on bonds, ostensibly for internal Improvements
in Mississippi. He was returning from that
city, and had a large sum of money with him.
He left Louisville on a small stern wheel boat,
and three gamblers took passage on the same
boat. They knew Poindexter's fondness for
cards, that he would play high, and they made
up a plot to clean him out, In those days they
played poker with twenty cards—the ace, king,
queen, jack and ten of each suit. Tlie boat
was several day l in getting from Louisville to
Cairo, and Poindexter and the three sharks
were busy at play. Then they usually played
without limit, and the result was the gamblers,
having played their fish long enough, were about
to take him in. They had all their money on
the table. Two of the gamblers dropped out,
and the other, making a heavy bet, piled up his
last dollar. The Governor said he didn't nave
money enough there to call him, but he thought
he might be aide to borrow.
“Very well,” said the gambler, “I'll give you
just ten minutes to raise the money.’’
Poindexter went to his stateroom, where he
had an old carpet sack with a trusty servant
guarding it, - and returned to the gaming table,
followed by the darky with the carpet sack on
his shoulder.
“Now,” thundered Poindexter, as he threw
open the sack, which was stuffed full of bank
notes, “I will see you and go you $300,000 better!
And I’ll give you an hour instead of ten minutes
to raise it!”
The faces of those gamblers would have been
a picture for a painter. They got off the boat
at the first landing place wiser and much sadder
men. There was about SIO,OOO on the table,
Named for Their Grandparents.
From Harper's Magazine for June.
The attention of parents with children to
name is respectfully called to the melancholy
paragraph which follows. Mr. J——, being on
one occasion belated in the mountains of
Georgia, stopped at a little cabin and asked a
night's shelter of the owner, who was sitting at
the front door in all the luxury of shirt sleeves
and a rush-bottomed chair tilted well back
against the wall. It was hospitably accorded.
A supper consisting of bacon and corn-bread
was set before him; and the conversation turn
ing upon the fine pasture lauds of that section,
Mr. J modestly insinuated that he would
have supposed it possible to keep a cow for ttie
benefit of the two children whom he saw playing
about the room.
"They don't need it; they are all right as long
as that thar lasts,” said the father, pointing
with a jerk of his thumb to a barrel of whisky
sitting in one comer. Properly horrified. Mr.
J expostulated, but in vain. “It keeps ’em
screwed up like a fiddle all the time.” explained
the fond parent. This incident led to some
further talk about the little ones, and Mr. J
affably asked their names.
"This here one” (here the mother dragged for
ward a sharne-faced youngster in ‘butter-nut’),
hopin’ you’ll excuse his looks, was named for
my paw-Joseph Edward Malcolm Norton Gun
ter.”
It was rattled off as one mouthful in a sing
song voice, and Mr. J , to whom comment
was difficult, said, “and the little girl*”
“Mary Josefine Rhody Catherine Benjamine
Frank line Palestine Gunter. She was named
for my maw,” was the reply. ,

I will no longer sue my Sue,
My suit is spurned and oft denied,
The same slim prude is lovely Prue,
And Mollie is unmodified.
Delia no more with me will deal
Although she holds my heart in snare,
I cannot make Ophelia fuel
The darts that she has planted there.
Mabel I’m able to be free
From you, no more 1 am your slave,
And Grace, unless you smile on me,
I shall go graceless to the grave.
My Flora's heart will not o'erflow
To my half-crazed appeals to all;
Aid Minnie's most emphatic “No,"
It strikes me like a minnie ball.
And although Dora I adore,
Yet she for me will never care;
Though Cora pierced my bosom's core
She will not heed my suppliant prayer.
And Maud is modest when I'm near,
My presence she cannot abide,
And in regard to Clara, dear.
My mind is still unclarified.
And Winnie I can never win,
And Carrie's heart w on't carry n-e;
And Mary, though with constant din
I plead, will never marry me.
A Lost Opportunity.
From the American Magazine.
Mr. George Washington Cole, of Chicago,
didn't come homo one evening at the usual
time, nor the next day, nnd Mrs. Cole, becoming
alarmed, begun a search for him. Mlie was not
successful, and after several days, as a lust re
sort, visited the morgue The keeper listened
to her.descrlptlon, and then said he thought he
had a subject that answered to it. The wife de
sired to look at the body, and she was shown
into the dead-house.
After viewing tho subject pointed out to her
very intently for several minutes, Mrs. Cole
burst into tears and declared that the I tody was
that of her late husband. But in order to as
sure henelf that she had made no mistake, she
requested tho keeper of the morgue to turn the
body over, and see if there was a large scar on
the back of the neck. As he proceeded to do
so, a sot of false teeth fell out of the mouth of
tho corpse upon the marble slab.
"Stop!” exclaimed Mrs. Cole, wiping away her
tears; George never wore false teeth."
"You blamed fool!" growled the keeper of the
morgue, addressing the corpse, as he roughly
threw it buck in place and picked up the falsi!
teeth; "if you had only kept your mouth shut
you might have had a decent burial.”
A Sensible Princess.
From St. Niehola* for June.
For n person of only seven years’ experience,
the good sense shown by the child princess
Charlotte was really remarkable. Her music
teacher, who was silly enough to think that a
princess without Mattery was like a duck without
water, once highly commended her execution
when slto herself knew that it was faulty and
deserved no praise at nil. Tbn room was fUled
with other j>er(plo who h;ld similar opinions
about princesses nnd dicks; and all, when
she apiiealed to them, declared that her roval
highness hod played in a manner to ravish
the ears of angels. She knew better, but said
no more at the moment. When noisier teacher
came next morning for a lesson, however, lie
found his pay and a discharge ready for him;
also u piece or advice from her little highness,
that "he should never indulge error in a pupil
where he was employed to perfect the unskill
ful." Thus Charlotte showed her power of
reasoning and her mastery of the English lan
guage, rebuked a flatterer, and procured for
herself a very pleasant little vacation—the find
ing of another suitable teacher being a work of
*"UO and deco British deliberation.

In Mexican hotels the “chambermaid,” who
is usually a man, does the work about this way:
He takes possession of the key, unlocks the
door and disappears. After awhile he comes
back, turns down the bedclothes ami goes off.
The next time he comes in he partially com
pletes the bed making, hut leaves in a great
hurry, as if he had suddenly remembered some
thing. After the sixth visit the Mexican retires
with his dust brush, and it is pretty safe to
wager he wiU only come back once more, and
that to bring a clean towel. After he has done
this for an hour or two, he is so worn out that
he spends the rest of the day in taking a siesta.
A new ground for suit against a railway com
pany has just been established in France. A
painter named Board while traveling on the
Paris-Lyons road was attacked by a robber and
seriously wounded. He sued and got damages,
the company being held responsible because
the construction of the cars did not afford suffi
cient protection. The judges decided that there
was a genuine contract between the passenger
and the company, the ticket constituting the
written instrument, and that the railroad peo
ple were bound by it, not only to bring the man
to his destination, but also to afford him protec
tion during his journey; and they refused to
entertain the question that the company were
obliged to conform to the rules of the adminis
tration in regard to the model of the cars.
England is doubtless the centre of civilization
—at least according to English ideas—and Eng
lishmen are wont to speak with much scorn of
the bull-fighting of Spain and the cock-fighting
of the United States. Yet England tolerates
dog fights. Ten days ago one of these disgust
ing matches was fought at Cardiff, the contest
ants being a pair of rival bull terriers, which
had been victorious in many a battle. After
twenty njinutes one of the dogs was in a dying
condition, but his frantic backers insisted upon
having him driven into a final bout, 'l’be poor,
mutilated beast had no fight left in him, and re
fused to face the other dog. The angry owner
whipped out his jack-knife, cut the animal's
throat from ear to ear and flung the carcass into
a ditch. No arrests were made, and the shock
ing scene was described in the local and London
press.

A Cuban iiotf.i, is a curiosity to strangers. The
dining-rooms here face the street, and they are
as open as though no wall separated them from
it. The office counter and the writing table or
writing room are at tho end of the dining room,
and eating, writing ami business go on inside of
the same walls. This room, however, is a large
square one. and there is no confusion. The din
ing tables are of all sizes, so that one can dine
alone or a party of a dozen or more can eat
their d’hote together. As to decoration the
l>rlgbt“st of colors are used In the interior (taint
ing of the hotel, and in some rooms frescos pre
vail, Red and sky-blue are seen everywhere
and the floors of the chambers and hulls
are pared in marble and red tile. I
write this letter in my bedroom. There
is no plaster on la. ceilings of these hotels, and
