The statement is made that most of the

Far-away Nebraska is preparing to send a

t hat it -was at Huvannuh that tho .State bad
its beyinning, tho military organizations of
t.iia city should take steps to be represented.
It would not be very expensive t> send a

Tho Grand Army a Political Organ
ization.
No hotter evidence is needed that the
Grand Army of the Republic is becoming a
political organization, if indeed it is not
already one, than the attitude which it has
assumed toward tho President. Its hostility
to him is not based upon any good reason,
and if the truth were known it would prol.
ably appear that its aim in attacking him is
to injure the Democrat! ; party. It is
worthy of notice that the leading officers of
the organization are Republicans, and that
whatever it does receives the united support
of \ha Republican papers.
It finds fault with the Presid nt because
lie vetoed the dependent pension bill and
a number of private pension bills, and
it pretends that because of the se vetoes he
is not the friend of the ex-Union soldiers.
Members of tile organization threatened to
remain away from the grand encampment
at St. Louis, in October, if it w’ere under
stood that the President would lie present,
and other members indulged in talk that in
duced the President to cancel his acceptance
of the St. Louis invitation.
Asa matt,ter of fact the President’s pen
sion record is much better than that of any
of his predecessors. This fact, however,
doesn't appear to count for anything with
the Grand Army politicians. Gen. Grant,
during the eight years lie was in office, ap
proved 485 private pension acts, and Mr.
Hayes approved SUM during his term. Gar
field and Arthur together approved 736.
President Cleveland, whose term is only a
little more than half gone, has approved
Sflii. A glance nt these figures will show
that he has approved 77 more than Grant,
and Hayes together, and 127 more than
Garfield and Arthur.
YV hen it comes to appointments the records
show that, he has not, forgotten the ex-Union
soldiers. On the contrary he has appointed
more of them to office than any other Presi
dent, and he has signed several general pen
sion bills that have 1 men passed since he has
been in office. These include an increase of
pension to 7!1,98(1 widows, minors and de
pendent, relatives, an increase of [tension to
10,0.10 crippled ex-Union soldiers, and the
I tension to Mexican veterans.
That President Cleveland has approved
more pension legislation than any other Presi -
dent, and that a Democratic House has been
exceedingly liberal in legislation of that sort,
will not lessen the hostility of the Grand
Army to the President. It regards him as
the next nominee of the Democratic party,
and it is opposed to his election and to the
election of any other Democrat. It is con
trolled by Republican politicians and is being
used to advance the interests of the Repub
lican party.
A Republican Rascal.
The anxiety which the Republican news
papers show in their efforts to prove that
Oscar Harvey, the Treasury official who was
lately detected in robbing the Treasury, is
a full-fledged Democrat is amusing. The
late defaulting cashier of the Patent Office
was a Republican and they would like to
have it appear that all the rascals are not
Republicans. They cannot prove that Har
vey is a Democrat, however, although he
was appointed by the present administra
tion. His appointment was procured by
influential Republicans just as the appoint
ment of some Democrats were procured by
influential Democrats when t he Republicans
were in power.
If thereover was any doubt about Har
vey’s politics it was removed a day or two
ago by the discovery of a speech in his desk
which he delivered during the last National
campaign. The speech is Republican in its
tone throughout. In that speech he said
that all the Democrats wanted to get into
power for was to mb the government. That
statement, together with his thieving acts
after ho obtained an office, is all that is
necessary to stamp him as a Republican.
It is astonishing that Harvey, having such
a record as ho had, could get the en
dorsements of such men as Whitolaw Reid,
Wayne McVeigh and Gov. Hoyt, but he
did get them, and on the strength ot them
ho got tho office ho was after. An effort
has lieen made to show that Samuel J.
Randall endorsed him, but it has failed.
Mr. Randall says that he only endorsed the
men who endorsed Harvey, and that he
withdrew that endorsement when he found
out what sort of a man Harvey was. Clear
ly Harvey is a Republican rascal, and he
ought never to have been given a chance to
rob the government.
An Incident in Krupp’s Life.
It is said that tho leading newspapers
of Europe ore full of anecdotes
and historical reminiscences of the
late Frederick Krupp, the great
gunmaker of Essen. That ho was a
-remarkable man, ;nttl that he exerted a
"great influence in the affaire of tho world
there is no doubt.
His immense establishment at Essen will
be conducted by his eldest son, who, while
jierliaps not possessing his father's ability,
understands the business thoroughly, and is
capable of conducting it successfully. It is
said that in the centre of the grounds occu
pied by the Essen works there is a little
building containing a few old style forges,
and facilities for molding iron in a rather
rude way. This was the beginning of the
famous Kruppcstahlishinrnt, and it presents
about the same appearance now that
it did in 1813, when t In
famous Krupp was horn. On one occasion,
a few years ago, when the Kaiser was visit
ing the works, Krupp pointed out to him Re
place where, when a lioy of 10 years of age,
he stole a piece of bread from one of his
father's workmen to satisfy his hunger.
The fact that there ever was a time in
Frederick Krupp’s life when his hunger was
so intense that ho stole the means to satisfy
it shows how great the possibilities in a
man’s life are. His father must have been
very poor, and must have struggled long
and earnestly, denying himself mul family
even the necessaries of life, to start the fac
tory which eventually grow under the
direction of Frederick Krupp's mastering
genius into such colossal proportions.
Sam T. Brewer, a half-breed Cherokee, is
under three indictments for assault with in
tent to kill nt Fort Smith, I. T. Both his
legs are off above the ankles, his right arm
is off above the elbow, and his left arm is
off four inches below the elbow. Neverthe
less, he js an expert shot with the rifle. It
would seem that a man so badly maimed
would prefer the paths of peace, but Brewer
is said to lie one bf the greatest desperadoes
in tho Indian Territory.

THK .MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, JULY 10. 1887.
Electric Motors.
The new street railway conqiany which
has applied to the City Council for the use
of certain streets lias lieen investigating the
different electric railway motors with tho
view of adopting one of them if found to
be satisfactory. Electricity is being used to
propel street cars in other cities, and there
does not appear to be any good reason why
it should not lie introduced here. It is cer
tainly preferable to horse power for many
reasons. One is that it is much less ex
tensive, and another is that street car pass
engers are relieved of the sight of suffering
horses and mules, struggling with burdens
which, on hot days, are sometimes almost too
great for thorn.
The development of tlie means for using
electricity as a motive power has been very
great—so great, indeed, that only a few,
comparatively, of those interested in street
railroads have kept themselves thoroughly
informed on the subject. IV hile perhaps it
cannot tie said that tho electric railway in
ventions which are at present before tho
public are perfect, they are being so im
proved that they are giving great satisfac
tion.
There are eleven electric railways- in suc
cessful operation in Europe, anil in this
country they are to lie found in the follow
ing cities: Montgomery, Ala.; Baltimore,
Mil.; Los Angeles, CaL; Port Huron, Mich.;
Windsor, Ont.; Detroit, Mieh. (two); Ap
pleton, Wis.: Scranton, Pa.; Denver, Col.,
uud Philadelphia, Pa. Other roads are un
der contract at Pittsburg, Pa.; Lima, O.;
San Diego, Cal.; Ansonia, Conn.; St.
Joseph, Mo.; Mansfield, O.; Ithaca, N. Y.;
Harrisburg, Pa.; Woonsocket, R. 1., and
Richmond, Va.
The favorite motor in use is that in which
the electricity is carried along a wire strung
above the track and connected by another
wire witli the car. Another is that by
which the electricity is conducted along a
third rail in the centre of the road bed. A
third is that in which an underground con
duit is used. In addition to these is the
storage system, with which experiments
have been going on in Philadelphia for a
numlier of years, and which recently un
derwent a very successful test. The elec
tricity is stored in a battery under tho ear
seats. The test showed that the storage
battery contained enough electricity to run
an ordinary car, in some places over heavy
grades, for four hours at a sjieed of from
twelve to fifteen miles per hour.
It is claimed for all the electric motors that
cars can Ik; run at about one-half the cost of
horse-power. The plants are, of course, ex
pensive. In fact, it seems as thougli the
owners of electric motor patents have the
same idea about street railroads that is en
tertained by the uninitiated public, namely,
that they are mints of money, and they
want the mints. In a few years, however,
competition and new inventions will greatly
reduce the cost of electric motor plants.
The horse will then disappear as the pro
lielling power of the street cars.
Not long ago a number of candidates for
positions as teachers in the public schools
were examined. They passed creditably
enough until some questions were asked
about the history of Georgia. When asked
who founded the State only one answered
correctly. A young woman, who seemed to
be brighter than any of the other candi
dates, said that a lawyer told her that the
State was discovered and settled by a man
named Yazoo, who was afterward burned
at the stake for fraud. This exiunination
was not conducted in Savannah, but it was
conducted within easy reach of Savannah.
The history of Georgia ought to be a lead
ing subject taught in the public schools of
the State.

It is difficult, to keep Dr. McGlynn out of
tho public prints. Regarding the state
ment that he intended to suo Archbishop
Corrigan for damages on tho ground that
excommunication is boycotting, he says:
“It. is absolutely falso, and was consciously
fabricated out of whole cloth. To say that
I had given up my intention of seeking re
instatement is not correct. I never had an
intention of seeking re instatement. 1 know
tho ‘machine' too well to waste 1113- energies
in trying to get decent treatment or Justice
from it. It is false that Mr. George or John
MecMockin ndvise! me to suo.” The doctor
ought now to take a rest.
Mr. Alfred Sully is coming South the
latter part of this month. It is understood
that he will not try to “scoop” a rail road
ami that he will not consider a “deal,"other
than such as may be necessary in an occa
sional game of whist. Mr. Sully is credited
with a fortune far along in the millions, hut
in New York, the other day, he came to
grief for lack of a nickel. He wanted to
take a street car from Wall street to his res
dence, but when he put his hand into his
pocket to pay his fare he discovered that he
was penniless. He could have drawn u
check for the fore, but preferred to walk.
Gov. Rusk, of Wisconsin, is said to bo one
of tho strongest men in tho world. He can
suspend a 1, 000-pound weight from his
shoulder and wall; around with it as easily
us most men can with twenty pounds. In
addition to being a sort of Samson he is
somewhat conceited. After suppressing the
riots at Milwaukee last year, somebody said
to him; “Your prominence may result in
making you a candidate for President, one
of these days.” Ho replied, ns cool ns a
cucumber: “By the eternal, I behove I
could Ik’ President if these rioters would
only keep it up.”
It is said that when ex-Senntor S. W,
Dorsey Inis finished answering his day's mail
ho will look over the stack of addressed
letters that, lie has piled up at his .elbow, and
selecting one ufter another from the lot
tear up at least half of them. Someone
asked him one day what he was doiug, and
he replied: “I am simply exercising my
judgment about not sending letters that
had 1 letter not be sent. I frequently tear up
half tho letters that I have written,” Many
a public man would have saved himself
much trouble if he had done ns the ex-Sen
ator does.
Ohio is the political storm centre just now.
It looks as if old party lines are to be blown

Tho Warning Comes Too Lato.
From the Galveston News (Dent.)
The Philadelphia Time* calls tho attention of
Senator Sherman's managers to the fact that
Gen. Beaver’s managers seat him away last year
to keep him from hurting his gubernatorial con
test by talking, and that ho was elected. Tho
trouble as to Sherman is that the warning
comes too late. He should have been sent away
before lie made that Springfield speech.
Shrewd Business Mon.
From the New York Herald (hid.).
Stephen AV. Dorsey is making arrangements
to get back into the United States Senate. He
thinks that Blaine lias a lighting chance to be
elected, and away down deep in his patriotic
soul Dorsey feels that with Blaine in the White
House another star route speculation would pre
sent very promising financial possibilities.

Mr. Conkling Is Makinar Money.
From the Chicago Herald.
Boecoe Coakling s present money-earning ca
pacity as a lawyer was indicated by a remark
which he himself let drop while her... He was
an indorser on $BO,OOO of the pap**r of that un
i fortunate lawyer, Johnson, of Utica, whom
j everybody supposed very rich until, after his
death two years ago. he w as found to be terribly
embarrassed. Mr. Conkling said that every
}>emiy of that $BO,OOO had U*en paid by himself
si/ice. In the course of the conversation of
which this was a part, Mr. Conkling said that
hi investing money either for himself or others,
especially if the investment were to be real es
tate. he would rather take the judgment of an
intelligent Catholic priest than of anybody else,
jle had seen in his experience that the heads of
the large Catholic parishes almost invariably
made Judicious and profitable investment of
clerical money. His theory was that their ming
ling so much with so many people made them
exceptionally good men of affairs and excellent
worldly advisers.
Did George Gould Skin Uncle Cyrus?
From the New York Truth.
I am told and the authority is very close to
the principals in the transaction, that it was
neither Mr. Jay Gould nor Mr. Cyrus W. Field
who engineered the little transaction that cost
the latter $3,000,000. It was young Mr. George
Gould who thought it all out and fixed it all up,
while his father was away yachting for the
l>enefit of his health. He did not dare. However,
to take the. responsibility on his own shoulders
of striking the blow’, and he therefore w aited
for his father s return. The father came liack,
the sledge hammer fell, and Mr. Field was scat
tered. A further bit of intimate history in con
nection with this affair is that, young Mr. Gould
has 1/een determined for a long time, if be ever
got it in his ]>ower. to strike a hard blow* at
Field, and the cause of it was a decided slight
once put upon young Mrs. George Gould, for
merly Edith Kingdom by the old financier, who
little thought of the reprisals he would one day
be compelled to suffer.
Buffalo Bill’s Big Hand.
From the Boston Record.
The day l>efore jubilee day, Monday, at 11
o'clock in the morning, almost the entire royal
party arrived at the “Wild West" and asked for
a special |>erformancr. The jwirty consisted of
the Prince of Wales, Princess of Wales. Prince
Albert Victor of Wales, Prince George of Wales,
Princesses Victoria, Juise and Maud of Wales,
King of Saxony, King of Denmark, the King of
Greece, the King of the Belgians, the Crown
Prince and Princess of Germany, Prince George
of Greece, Duke of Sparta of Greece, Heredi
tary ITinee and Princess Saxe Meiningen, Prin
cess Victoria of Prussia, Prince Louis of Baden.
Princesses Sophy and Margaret of Prussia, and
a large luvrty of ladies and gentlemen in atten
dance belonging to the different suites of
royalty. They were all highly delighted with
the performance, asked any number of ques
tions, and at the conclusion the Prince of Wales
entered the arena, and w alking up to Col. Cody,
who was on horseback, shook hands with him
and re marked:
“I think you are the first man whoever played
to four kings.”
To which Buffalo Bill, with a twinkle in his
eye, responded quickly:
“Sir. I have frequently played to four kings,
but I never held a hand of four kings and tlie
Prince of Wales; that's the ‘boss baud'—a royal
flush.”
Inman’s Big* Purchase.
From the New York Times.
The New Yorker who has the largest financial
interest in the new* South ami its pushing indus
trial enterprises is undoubtedly John H. Inman,
who is one of the controlling 'magnates in the
cotton market here, as well as in the South.
Yesterday Mr. Inman made a further large in
vestment that adds materially to his South
ern investments. He organized a syndicate,
himself taking far the greater interest, and
bought in one block 11,000 shares of the stock of
the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company. The
stock was the holding of William Duncan, of
Nashville, and of Mr. Duncan's friends. It
has been in tlie market here for some
time, and the Stock Exchange trailer's acting
on the idea that it was held on slight mar
gins have raided the market frequent
ly, hoping to be able to dislodge it and moke
spoils wort h scooping up. The price of the stock
has thus been brought ((own from above 50 to a
point below 30, andlots of Northern and South
ern interests baye lieen made weary meantime.
Mr. Inman and his syndicate pay in' full for the
entire 11,000 shares and take it out of the market.
They insist that the company is regularly earn
ing H per cent, dividends and recent quotations
have been shamefully out of all relation to
its stock's intrinsic value. What price Mr. In
man pays for the Duncan holding is withheld,
but it is promised by Mr. Inman's friends that
the bears are going to be deprived of one of their
footballs henceforth. On what was probably
inside information of Mr. Inman's big purchase
the quotation on the Stock Exchange rose about
three points yesterday.
A Southern Girl.
From. Society Verse by American Writers.
Her dimpled cheeks are pale
She's a lily of the vale,
Not a rose.
In a muslin or a lawn
She is fairer than the dawn
To her beaus.
Her hoots are slim and neat—
She is warm about her feet,
It is said.
Slip amputates her r's,
but her eyes are like the stars
Overhead.
On a balcony at night
With a fleecy cloud of white
Round her hau
lier (trace, ah! who could paint?
She would fascinate a saint,
I declare.
'Tis a matter of regret,
She's a bit of a coquette
Whom I sing.
Or. her cruel path she Roes
With a half a dozen beau .
To her string.
But jet all t hat pass by.
As her maiden moments fly,
Dew empearled;
When she marries, on my life.
She will make the dearest wife
111 the. world.
He Pulled Off His Boot.
From the Detroit Free Press.
We were traveling from San Antonio to El
Paso—an old and wealthy friend and myself.
To save ourselves, in a measure, the usual tedi
ousness of the journey we ongagwl in a social
game of cards, and to heighten the interest had
staked some small sums of money. In drawing
some small change from his poekut, my friend
dropped a roll of greenbacks into the aisle.
A neatly dressed young man on an opposite
seat picked it up and handed it to its owner with
the remark:
"Rather a nice little wad to have out if the
train robbers should happen around!"
lie had been u very social companion during
th<- earlier (art of the trip, and we had taken a
liking to him. His only drawback seemed to be
a want of knowledge concerning life i:t Western
Texas.
"Yes," returned the old man: "hut I hardly
expect any more train robberies In Texas.
Why, it's been eight mom Its since we've had one.
Well, if they do get this little pile I’m snte any
how. I've got twenty times that much more,
anil they wouldn't know where I hail it. I'm
just a little too cute for ’em They never think
of making a man pull tiff his hoots."
Tlie young man smiled. During the remain
der of tlie afternoon he stoqd on the gallery of
the coach, "taking a good look at the country;
it was so different from Missouri where he came
from"
Suddenly about dark the train stopped. Some
one exclaimed: ‘‘Don't shoot!”
Our young acquaintance stepped from the
gallery into the car.
“What's the matter? Wbat's the matter?’’
queried my elder companion.
“Oh. not much, not much," wqg the slow re
ply; “only I guess, old fellow" (here he leveled
a revolver at him), "I guess it’s about time for
you to pull off your boots."
The car tilled with armed men. The usual
programme was successfully carried out.
When the train was permitted to travel on I
flung myself into the seat left vacant by the In
nocent young Missourian t?l, put my hands in
my empty pockets and meditated until we
reached our destination. My old friend lighted
a cigar, propped his boots (those treasureless
boots) on a seat in front of him. and said he’d
he hanged if he'd say a word till he reached
El Rose. He thought he had said enough for
one dav.

Lord Stowell was eminent as a judge, but
“near" as a man. In order to save the legacy
duty he, during his lifetime, made over to his
son William the £20,000 intended for him. But
the son, who died first, made a will, leaving the
amount to his father, who was thus obliged to
pay the duty. His lordship bequeathed it to Lady
Sidmouth, and after his death the legacy was
contested.
There are many instances extant of great
lawyers blundering in the making of their own
wills, and there is one case where a lawyer pur
posely left his will obscure. Scrgt. Maynard, an
eminent black-letter lawyer, had perplexed him
self over some very fine points of law'. He
therefore left a will worded in such terms as
would cause litigation to arise on the poiuts he
wished the courts to settle.

his mind, is reported insane from overwork and
overstudy. He is said to have mastered Greek,
Latin, French and German, after acquiring the
common English branches.

An English magazine gives a catalogue of
valuable articles left in public vehicles by care
less travelers, among which were a hag of jew

SBSO. In one year a packet of bonds worth
$3,000 was lost, another valued at .£1,500, and
also £250 in gold. Valuable dressing-cases con
taining jewelry have been found, and on one
occasion a pocketbook containing £75 in bank

“Le Cabinet Noir” is the term used for the
espionage exercised by the governments of con
tinental Europe over all correspondence passing
through the post office. The poliee take advan
tage of the system, and through it a watch is
kept over those it employs in all ranks of soci
ety. It is often of interest to a nation to know
the instructions of such and such a foreign min
ister, or the contents of his dispatches, and
although ciphers are usually resorted to, the
experts of the Cabinet Noir have become so
skillful that these are read with almost the same
facility as ordinary bandwriting.
Miss Alice Decker, of Milford, N. Y., has r*.
tained a local reputation by the manner vk
which she rides a tierce young mustang pony.
She frequently rides the little horse at a
breakneck pace thnnigh the streets, without sad
dle or bridle, and nothing but her riding whip to
guide or restrain the horse. She may be seen
almost any day by the passengers on the trains
toward and from Cooperstown, wheeling and
racing alongside the railroad tracks, going
somewhat faster at times than the train. She
is vain of her skill, and t>efore the eyes of jms
sengers she vaults fences and ditches without
ceremony.
An invention, that of an Austrian, for auto
matically lowering coffins into graves without
the aid of ropes, has been tested by the au
thorities of Paris. A coffin was placed on a
kind of rectangular platform and surrounded
with funeral drapery, which concealed the
grave. When a spring was pressed the plat
form, with its lugubrious burden, descended
slowly into the earth. The price of the appara
tus is iiHO, and the inventor states that it is used
in Vienna and Milan, the rate payable being Of.
for each burial, The Prefecture of the Seine
has asked for some modifications in the ma
chinery before taking it into use.
A system of heating railway cars by the wast e
heat from the gas lamps used for light is said
to have been devised by a Glasgow man. A
writer in CaueU'n Magazine says it is done by
means of water, a boiler being placed over the
gas lamps, having two pipes descending from it
and connecting with two annular tubes under
the carriage scuts. The hot water circulates
through these pipes and returns again to the
boiler after having heated the carriage. It Is
found that the ordinary size of gas flame is
quite sufficient to heat a compartment, though
the consumption of gas is less than one cubic
foot per hour. Congelation of the water when
the carriage is not in use, is prevented by mix
ing a little glycerine with it. The system has
been tried successfully during the past winter
on the trains of the Glasgow and Southwestern
railway in Scotland, the same authority says,
and the temperature of the carriage kept ur
from 52° to 00” Fahrenheit, even In very cold
weather.
