The Bell Telephone Company has carried the great Chinese syndicate into court. Be fore it gets out China may have beer, “de veloped' 1 by somebody else. Mr. John Wanamaker, Philadelphia’s greatest merchant, is back from the Hom burg conferences. He is not a politician, but may be he wanted to know how his contributions to the campaign fund would be spent. Gov. Gordon went to Philadelphia to enjoy himself, but he mixed business with pleas ure. The Philadelphia Press contains an interview with him, in which he tells of Georgia’s greatness and the inducements she offers to emigrants of the right sort. The Treasurer of Manitoba says the Red river railroad will be in operation by the time snow flies. As the proposed road is seventy miles long, the money to build has not been raised yet ami the snow flies very early in Manitoba, he must propose to do some lightning railroad work The New York Republicans now reluc tantly admit that Gov. Hill will not boa rival of President Cleveland before the next Democratic National Convention, but that be will again run for Governor of Now York next year. That arrangement onght to make New York safely Demi*,.- t* . A Kentucky mil Daman has been fined SIOO and sentence •*. to three months in jail for deserting his colors during the recent campaign in Rowan county. The Ken tucky mihtiama- is not entirely a play sol dier. He has to go to the mountains occa sionally to help the courts administer jus tice. The Philadelphia Press, which is a P-epub iican paper of the stalwart variety, had kuch a high opinion of President Cleveland’s tpeechcs at the late centenary celebration that it printed them in both Sunday's mid Monday’s issues; the New York Sun, which claims to be Democratic, makes them the tubject of carping editorial criticism. The professional base ball players have formed a brotherhood, but the League di rectors refuse to recognize its existence. If promises are kept, there will be a hard fight between employers and employed when tho time for signing contracts comos. W*it was a sport a few years ago has be come a thoroughly established business. Mr. Talmage was greeted on his return to bis church .Sunday from his summer trip by ‘‘Boulanger's March.” It is not a religious tune, but probably did not shock the sense of propriety of the audience, who go to be entertained and do not greatly care what means are used. The house resembles a theatre in more ways than in appearance. The Sixteenth Connecticut Regiment, in a resolution thanking the Second Alabama regiment for the return of colors captured during the war, say that they “prize the valor and devotion of their Southern breth ren.” This is very generously and grace fully said, but do not the Connecticut vet erans stand in danger of a denunciation for disloyalty from shrickers of the Foraker type? The devotion they praise was shown to the Confederacy. Gen. Sheridan says the improvement in weajKms is so rapid that he is convinced that within a hundred years the waging of wars will have ceased, and all disputes be tween nations be settled by arbitration. That such a conviction should lie expressed by a soldier makes it more striking. If it shall prove to have been well founded, it will be a curious reduction for people of that age that one of the greatest curses of man kind was abolished by the means adopted to tnake it more effective. Tho visitors from the tiouth to the Consti tution's Centennial seem to have impressed Philadelphians with the idea that they were a fine lot of men. The Press Bays: “None of the guests at the celebration deserved or received more cor dial welcome or heartier praise than those from the South. Their manliness, their un failing dignity and good fellowship under all circunistau vs were the subject of com mon remark and are among the pleasantest memories of the groat demonstration." Candidates for office in Western New York find themselves in a peculiarly un pleasant dilemma. A German organization Said to represent 20,000 votes demands a pledge that they will support a proposed law to allow the sale of beer on Hundny, while tho Citizens’ Reform Association threatens to slaughter any candidate who gives such a pledge. It wot *1 seem that at a time when so many citizens are demanding that the sale of liquor lie prohibited on all days it Is inopportun* to start an agitation to lessen the restrictions put on the traffic. It wiii be a long t une tofor* Americans accept the German idea of Htnihuy The Crowded Jail. Is it not a mistake to have both Superior and the City Court closed at the same time; When the Superior Court is closed the City Court ought certainly to be in session for at least a day or two each week. It is said that every cell at the jail now contaias at least two prisoners. Some of them contain three. If the court does not open until No vember. ti e Sheriff will have some difficulty in meeting the demand for jail room. Tliv' crowded condition of the jail in creases tlie chances for sickness there. Try as hard as he may, the jailor cannot keep the jail, crowded as it is, in as good sanitary condition as if it contained only such a num ber of inmates as could bo provided with ample accommodations. But there are two other strong reasons why both tho Superior and City Courts should not be closed for a at the same time. One is that prisoners are en titled to a speedy trial. Some of those who are not able to furnish bail may lie inno cent, and it is a great hardship to be forced to remain in a crowded jail for several montlis in hot weather. In fact, it is a hard ship for those who are guilty of the charges resting against them. The guilty ones would much rather bo serving their sen tences than waiting for their trials. The other reason is that the county is put to a very heavy expense in feeding prison ers. It would be interesting to know ex actly what additional expense will be im posed upon tho county by the closing of the courts for two or three months. Tho sum doubtless will bo quite large. Of course the judges are entitled to a va cation, but their vacations might be so ar ranged that one judge would be in the city when the other is away. Even the Ordinary, if we are not misinformed, is out of the city at tho present time, and if the necessity for a writ of habeas corpus should arise there wou’d be no one in the county who could grant it. A judge would have to bo hunted up outside of the county. A New Kind of Insurance. There are several different kinds of in surance but there seems to be room for others. There are few who are not familiar with fire and life insurance. The übiquitous ami voluble solicitors of the latter kind have carried a knowledge of it to tho remotest corners of civilization. Accident insurance is not so well known but it is growing in popularity. man somehow c r other feels better satisfied with an accident policy than without one. •> Probably the thought that if ho should be killed somebody would lie benefited by his death is a rather gratifying one. The guarantee companies are gradu ally growing in favor. They are particu larly appreciated by those who, having ac cumulated a little property, are expected to be always ready to become the bondsmen of those who handle other people’s money. When a man seeks a bondsman now-a days he is politely referred to a guarantee com pany which will insure his honesty to a cer tain amount for a consideration. Another sort of insurance is now before the public for favor. A company proposes to insure employers against suits for dam ages by their employees who have been in jured while in their employment. It would hardly seem as if a company of this kind would do very much business. However, it is impossible nowadays to say what fields will yield financial harvests until they are cultivated. There is one other kind of insurance that is needed. It is that which will insure railroads against losses from suits instituted by persons injured, or claiming to lie injured, on their lines. The railroads would be glad, doubt less, to pay so muoh a year to get rid of the annoyance and expense of these suits. They would like n .thiug better than to have all the accident suits defended by a Grout Rail road Guarantee Company. Possibly such a company would have to pay less in damages in the course of a year thau tho railroads do, as it would fight harder to save its cash, and would not have so much preju dice to contend with. Gome of the heav iest verdicts against railroads are based upon the idea that the roads are rich and able to pay, rather than upon the justice of the claims. The Internationa! Yacht Contest. The interest in the approaching contest between the Volunteer and the Thistle is every day growing more intense. The yachts are discussed from every point of view, and their respective merits pointed out aud commented upon. Judging from the New York pajjers little else than tho race is talked about in sjiorting circles. In fact, the race is the leading topic of con versation in business and society circles. The contest between the Mayflower and the Volunteer for the honor of defending the America’s cup has changed public sentiment considerably with respect to the chances of the Volunteer for success. Before that con test the lietting was about even, but now it is in favor of the Volunteer. The fact that tho Mayflower was beaten with ease, although she is a much lietter boat than she was n year ago when she defeated the (lenesta, has not been without its effect in increasing confidence in the Volunteer. Indeed it is believed by some that flower can beat the Thistle. In her race with the Volunteer tho Thistle was present, and did about tlie best sailing she could un der the circumstances, but she failed to show herself a faster boat than the May flower. But it must not be overlooked that tho Thistle was not in raving trim, that her bottom was foul, and that she towed a small boat. All of these tilings doubtle.-s hindered her somewhat, but to what extent it is, of course, impossible to say. When tho race is sailed she will bo in the liest possible condition and will lie stripped of everything calcula ted to impede her progress. She may have a surprise in store for the public, but the general impression is that it is pretty clearly known wliat she can do. The This tle’s strong point is running free before the wind, and tho Volunteer’s tieating to the windward. Doubtless both will have a chance to do their liest work. The Baltimore American prints the talk of an unnamed Pennsylvania politician on the Cnrlisle-Thoebo contest. This politician, whoever ho may lit*, says it is the deliberate purpose of Mr. Randall and his followers to keep Mr. Carlisle out of Congress this win ter by seating Thoebe, with tho aid of the Republicans. This Pennsylvanian probably only voiced hat hopes. Mr. Randall is a Is.ld man, but he will not ventureou such a desperate stroke as that outlined. Mr. Car lisle is tho foremost man lit Congress of the party to which Sir. Randall claims to be h>ng, and no one can doubt that he whs re elected to the scot in Hie House which he | hoi iso long o ruphsi. Should he Ist ousbsl by Mr. ltaudnll’s nrntrlvanro. the latb-r would ie obliged to seek |iolitioal prefer i rwent hereafter os a Republican; he could tto ] longer {.use ms a Democrat THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1887. Two Nuisances. • In another column will be found a com munication from a well known citizen who calls attention to two things which have a bad effect upon the health of the city. They are the loud-smelling and disease-breeding vaults to which the Morning News has called attention more than once, and the pumps upon which a very considerable number of people depend for water. There are two objections to the vaults. One is that on account of the odors which emanate from them there Is no pleasure in living in the neighborhoods in which they tire located, and the other is that they cause sickness. The reasons for their removal being so strong it would seem as if an en ergetic effort would be made to get rid of them at once. They are nuisances, and tlwre Is always a legal way to abate a nuis ance. It is much more important that these vaults should be removed than that some of the other things, to which the city au thorities give their attention, should be done. It will hardly be denied that the water obtained from the pumps in different parts of the city is impure. That being tho case it ought not to lie used. It is certain to be used, however, as long as the pumps remain. Let them be rejnoved at the earliest possible moment, and the wells closed. It may be said that all who use pump water do so with the full understanding of its character, and that those who are harmed by it have only themselves to blame. This is not the right view to take of the matter. The city pumps are public institutions, and if the authori ties know them to be dangerous to the public health they ought to have them removed at the public expense, and without unneees ary delay. # It might be advisable to sink a few ar tesian wells in the public squares and princi pal streets, not only to accommodate those of the poor people who are not able to take water from the city, but also to supply the city with water if any accident should happen to the water works which would cut off tho water supply from that source. If tho city authorities will give to these sug gestions the attention they deserve, they will strengthen their popularity with a Very considerable portion of their constituents. ■Wasting Great Fortunes. Some of the bonanza kings will have to handle their money with greater care, or they will stand a pretty good chance of ending their days in the poor house. Of the four who made such enormous fortunes out of the Comstock mines O’Brien is dead, and Flood is reported to be a very sick man. Maekay and Fair are yet strong and healthy. It is doubtful if any one of them is as rich by several million dollars as he Ifas a few years ago. It hasn’t been very long since Maekay and Flood crowded Fair out of the Bank of Nevada. They thought it was a good thing and they wanted it ail themselves. There was a young Scotchman in their employ ment in whom they had the greatest confi dence. His name was Brander, and if there was any one thing about which he claimed to know everything it was banking. Flood and Maekay put him in charge of tho Bank of Nevada, with its many millions of capital Flood remained in San Francisco as President of the institution, and Maekay went to Lon don to look after his cable interests, and to see how his wife,and daughter, who married an Italian Prince, were getting along. Brander, who was permitted to do as he pleased, concluded that it would be a good idea to assist somebody to corner tlie wheat of the world. He sunk between $,000,000 and $7,000,000 of the bank's money and was then satisfied that wheat was not so easily cornered. Flood and Maekay, when they heard of the matter, were astoundod. Flood went to bed and Maekay hurried to Saa Francisco from Loudon. They saw ruin staring them in the face. They noeded millions of ready money to save tho bank. Tho greater part of Maekay's fortune is locked up in 'an unprofitable cable, and Flood’s in real estate. They couldn’t get the money they needed without making im mense sacrifices. Maekay went to Fair and toid him the situation, and ho furnished what money was needed to save the bank, and he is now President of it. Another wheat corner is perhaps all that is needed to make at least two of the bonan za kings poor men. Fair may keep his for tune, but if Maekay and Flood don’t get rid of the idea that they are good business men they will be known as e::-bonanza kings in the course of a few years. Chili is manifesting a disposition to at tack Peru again, this time on account of the provisions of the agreement recently made by the latter with her English bond holders. Chili claims that the carrying out of the agreement would involve a violation of the Monroe doctrine, and prove danger ous to other Bouth American republics, from the power it would give tlie English in Peru. The real reason for Chili’s atti tude, probably, is that, having rendered her enemy perfectly helpless, she is determined to keep her in that condition, so that a war of revenge will be impossible. The hatred between the two peoples is said to rival that between French aud Germans. Tho Rev. Mr. Pentecost, who is one of Henry George’s most anient supporters, said Sunday, at the anti-poverty meeting in New York, that behind each of tho United Labor party ballots in tho next election would be a prayer, aud that on the success of that party depended the “redemption of Christianity." Christianity is in a very bad plight if it depends on a political party to > redeem it from any errors into which it may have fallou. There has long existed in this country u prejudice against tho preacher in politics, aud many of Mr. Pentecost’s re cent utterances have shown it to bo well founded. The mousy market in New York is said to bo getting in a dangerous condition, money being scarcer every day, aud there is a disposition to urge the Treasury to buy largely of bonds. If bonds are offered at low enough figures, no dpubt Seerotary Fairchild will buy all that are offered, but ho will not sacrifice the Treasury to meet the needs of Wall str*>tt stock speculators. If Gov. Lee, of Virginia, desires to go to the Senate when Rlddleberger's term ex pires it is probable that his desire will be gratified He is not only very popular, but he has shown quite an ability to pull the political wires. He would make a good (Senator and serve his (State as well in tho (Senate as he is serving it in the gubernato rial chair.

King Ming |vs uo wages CURRENT COMMENT. An Improvement on Miss Rose Eliza beth. From the Missouri Republican (Dem.) Mrs. Cleveland's refusal to “assume any pub lic role independently of her husband," takes her a long way from the camps of those who believe woman inusi 1* '‘emancipated.” There is in many respects a marked aud gratifying difference between Mrs. Grover Cleveland, Democratic matron, and Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleveland, Republican spinster. Democracy's Patience and Justice. Prom the Philadelphia Record (Dem.) In these Chicago cases Justice was duly delib erate. Autocracy condemns without a hearing every attempt to resist its mandates; anarchy, imbued with an iconoclastic spirit, seeks to pul! down without furnishing the materials where with to rebuild, democracy, patient, long-suffer ing and tentative, waits and watches, tests and experiments, weighs and balances, and never decides until it feels that the evil unearthed may be the seed of some unwholesome revolution. An Appeal for Mercy. Prom the New York Herald (bid.) If the Southerners do not check the frequency of their patriotic remarks about the Union and the flag they will drive tlie Republican leaders frantic. Have you no bowels of compassion, gentlemen? Don't you know that if you deprive the Jacobin leaders of the privilege of waving the bloody shir, and rattling the three famous palsies they will have to play “Hamlet" next year with Hamlet left out? Republican politics will be knocked into a cocked hat if you go on in this appallingly patriotic strain. BRIGHT BITS. “What is more lovely than a peaceful grand m .therU’ asks an exchange.

A SURE CURE FOR CHILLS. In This Case the Remedy is Rather Worse Than the Disease. From the St. Ism is Republican. “I am no more afraid of malaria than I am of vou," and as the speaker was at least ten inches taller than the reporter, and proportionately broader, his fear of that dread malady was probably not excessive. “I've nad malaria and I've been cured.” “Yes, but a man can have malaria more than once?” “Not if he is cured the way I was. About ten years ago I was living in Indiana, in Vigo coun ty, near Terre Haute. In those days a man was regarded os a stranger until he had drank about a gallon of whisky and quinine, ami shaken down his bedstead three or four times with the ag le. I had a rather reticent nature, and I suppose it took the climate longer to get acquainted with ine than it did the ordinary run of men, for I had to drink about a barrel of w bisky and take whole pounds of quinine before I could get strong enough to even shake my self, let alone a bed. Old citizens told me that I had tire worst case of “fever’n ague," as they called it, the county had ever seen.” “How were you cured?” “I was .just coming to that. I was living with the Dennis family, from the North of Ireland. Mrs. Dennis used to tell me she could cure my chills if I would take her medicine She never would tell me what her medicine was, but al ways said if I would let her Ire the doctor, she would cure me. Finally one dav I agreed. She waited till evening Tueo she brought to my bed a towel liind that around your head so you can't see,’ said she. ‘What's that for? said I. 'Who's the doctor, you or me,’ said she. So I bound the rag about my head. 'Now,’ said said she, ‘take this glass of water in your right hand, open your mouth, take your dose and a drink ot water the second it is in your mouth Be sure and swallow what I give you.’ I prom ised. but there was something so ominous about her pains that It was with no little apprehension that I opened my mouth, held my breath, and braced up to take my punishment.” "l)id it taste bad?* "It did not have any taste at all. It felt like a little ball of dust, such as you find in the cor ner of the carpet 1 washed it down several seconds quicker than instantly, you may be sure. Just as it was going down I felt a sharp pain in my throat, as ir it had been scratched. " ‘ls it down?' asked Mrs. Dennis. “ ‘Yes.' I sain, “ ‘Ail down?’ ” ‘Yes; now tell me what I've taken.' ‘l'll tell yon to-morrow, and then you will have no more shakes.' “I slept soundly that night, but when I woke up in the morning my throat was swollen and pained me. About 11 o’clock Mrs. Dennis came to my room. She had a. little pasteboard box in her hand. 'There,' said she,'look in there and see what it is.’ I looked, and I felt the blood leave my heart. I turn si cold and fainted. When I recovered Mrs. Dennis was standing by iny side Did I take one of those?’ I asked, 'ton took the mate of that one.’ "That was many years ago, and I never had a chill after that day. My throat got well in time, and so did I. I was effectually cured, but i would not take another dose of that medicine to save my life.” "What was it you swallowed?” asked the re porter. ‘ It was a big, hairy black spider, and it was alive!’ ’ * A VALUABLE ENEMY. Old Hall Had an Interest in Defending a Man He Had Whipped. From the American Magazine. Not many years ago a Kentucky horse driver found himself in a small town in Lumpkin county, Georgia. Having disposed of his stock he celebrated the fact by going on a spree and bantering nearly every mau who would have anything to do with him for a fight. He aspired to “run the town,” and, being'a huge, muscular fellow, seemed likely to succeed. No one wanted to accommodate him, though several intimated that if nothing but a fight would do “Old Hall'’ would be in town that af ternoon, and, ?ts he was never known to refuse a banter, would doubtless respond to the driver's pugilistic desires. Said one man' “Old Hall! He'll fight any thing, from a circular saw to a blind preacher.” Another remarked; “Why, Old Hall: He’d raythur fight than wear his clothes.” Our driver avowed that if Old Hall didn't show up lie would have him run down with dogs rather than lose the chance of whipping him. In the afternoon, sure enough. Old Hull appeared, and was poi itetk out to the swaggering Ken tuckian as he. stood at the bar of the principal saloon, "taken’ a patch of Georgy red-eye,” as he phrased it Old Hall was small, lean and vicious looking. The large driver gazed down on him for a mo ment, and remarked: ”Ef that's yore bully 1 11 jest unbully him fer ye in about ten seconds.” Then, walking up, he slapped Old Hall on the shoulder, saying; ”Es yore name Hall?” Old Hall —the impersonation of terrier-like pugnacity—glared up at him and replied: "Yes, my name’s Hall.” "Well, you've got ter fight.
