Jay Gould has suddenly recovered his health, and abandoned his proposed trip to Europe. There is a universal sigh of regret Mr. Gould could be very well spared for a Short while. Nina Van Zandt and her proxy husband are again quarreling, because he will insist on writing love letters to another woman. Eneh conduct as this ought to help the poor woman back to sanity. A Western Union official expresses the opinion that the telegraph business must be a monopoly in order to please the people. This fact will no doubt add to the pleasure ■with which Mr. Gould sees the Western Union absorb the Baltimore and Ohio. The New York Republicans are buying thousands of Henry George's Standards and using them as campaign documents. They seem to think any effort to strengthen their own ranks would be wasted, and are devoting their energies to the building up of Henry George's Socialistic party, which they hope will draw most of its strength from the Democrats. They are playing a dangerous game. There is a movement on foot in Washing ton to secure certain reforms in the local government. It is noticeable, however, that nothing is said about restoring the bal lot to the citizens of the District It is probable that the people of the District, all things considered, are better off without the ballot They have more improvements, better police protection and less taxes than when they had the ballot Few men have experienced such extremes of fortune as has Duncan Karas. A few Jrears ago, in Pennsylvania, he was more than a millionaire, but the other day, in Colorado, he was found by an old friend carrying a bod up a ladder on anew build ing. He was bright and hearty, and told his friend he was much happier than in the days when he was burdened with wealth Mr. Karas is evidently a philosopher of a Very rare kind. Mr. GrinneU, who so ably prosecuted the Anarchist cases in Chicago, ha* resigned his place of State's Attorney in order to go upon the bench. He has fairly earned this re ward, but it is to be regretted that his resig nation could not be deferred until the cases are finally disposed of. It may be. however, that Mr. GrinneU is convinced that all further attempts of the counsel of the con demned men to have the jury’s verdict set aside must fail. Mrs. Paran Stevens, who entertained the Duke of Marlborough at Newport a few weeks ago, and who was greatly incensed because the newspapers criticised the pri vate life of her guest, is about to have some of her peculiarities exposed. She is suing Mr. Melcher, one of the trustees of her estate, and Mr. Melcher says he has his office half full of affidavits relative to her conduct, which will make the gossips wild with delight when the case comes to trial. A Mr. Bmolianinoff is rivaling Lieut. Zalinski in adapting dynamite to the use* of war. He has just made some experi ments at San Francisco, in which he fired a number of shells charged with dyna mite trom an ordinary powder gun, and they did not explode until the proper time. Tt would seem that the experience Russians have had in practicing on the Czar have put them ahead of the rest of the world in prac tical knowledge of high explosives. When a man habitually carries bombs around in his pocket, he is apt to devise some means to make the practice safe to himself. Justice Miller, of the Supreme Cdurt, said In a speech at the Grand Army banquet in Bt. Louis that when Cleveland was made President it was one of the “greatest elec tions of the patriotic American people,” and that the President is an honest and pure man, to whom no corruption belongs. Jus tice Miller is a Republican, but in speaking in this strain he showed he had no regard for the sensibilities of that other prominent Republican, J. B. Foraker, who thought it necessary to apologize to a dog for com paring Mr. Cleveland to him. Perhaps, however, Foraker has no sensibilities. Central Pacific railroad millionaire Blair said in his testimony before the investigat ing committee that in every Legislature he had found there were a number of members who always wanted money for their votes. He thought Jacob Bharp was unjustly con victed, as he was dealing with inon of that sort, and only “drove n sharp bargain.” Mr. Blair's subsequent affirmation, that he knew of no bribery practiced by his col leagues, was not worth much, after the ex pression of such an opinion. A man who looks upon bribery as a more business trans action may very well consider perjury, to nave himself from its consequences, not only justifiable but right. And how did Mr. Blair find out that legislators were for sale, if be did not buy! A Significant Resolution. A resolution adopted by the Republican .Stateconvention of Nebraska, on Thursday, that the farmers of the West are tired of paving tribute to the manufacturers of the East, is significant. There are Republicans in other States who are beginning to regard the present high protective tariff just as the Republi ! cans of Nebraska do. Mr. Randall, next winter, will not find it so easy a matter as he has heretofore to indues enough Demo crats to follow him to prevent a reduction of the tariff taxes. He may influence a few Pennsylvania Democrats to stand by him, but it will uot be surprising if a very con siderable nuinlier of Northwestern Republi cans are found acting with the Democrats in favor of tariff reduction. The truth is that the effort to reduce the revenues by making whisky, tobacco and beer free while continuing the taxes on the necessaries of life does not appeal with any force to the common sense of the people. Republicans as well as Democrats of the West understand very well that the policy of the Protectiouists is not beneficial to their interests, and they are about tired of it. The Republican party will have to agree to a reduction in the tariff if it doesn't want to lose a very considerable portion of its strength. The Philadelphia Press a day or two ago sought to create the impression that Mr. Car lisle was responsible for the threatened pan ic in September. It charged that he refused to agree to any reduction in taxation tfcat was not the reduction that he favored. It is probably true that he declined to favor the removal of the whisky *ax, which no body but the protection barons wanted re moved, but ho certainly urged the reduction of the taxes on such things as the people are bound to have, and which they want cheapened. Would it not have been much more honest and decent in the Press to have said frankly that the Repub licans, assisted by Mr. Randall, brought the country to the verge of a panic by refusing to let a tariff reduction bill pass because they preferred to legislate in the interest of manufacturing monopolies rather than of the people! Lately an attempt has been made to cre ate the impression that there is a growing sentiment in Georgia in favor of protection. It would be difficult to find evidences of such growth in any part of the State. The Georgia farmers know as well as the Ne braska farmers that protection promises them nothing—that, in fact, it collects a tribute from them to enrich the manfac turers of Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and other Northern States. There has been some talk lately of trying to prevent Senator Colquitt’s re-election on the ground that he is a tariff reformer. The talk evidently emanated from feather headed enemies of his. Mr. Colquitt will re main in the Senate as long as he wants to, if opposition to him is based wholly on his tariff views, for on the tariff he is in har mony with nine-tenths of his party. At At lanta. on Wednesday, he said that "the farmers, who compose the great backbone of the country, should not be asked to pay tribute to the business ventures of others,” and that he would be glad to meet his oppo nents before the people on the tariff issue. It can be said with entire safety that no effort based upon his tariff views will be made to prevent Senator Colquitt's re-election to the Senate. A Social Commotion in St. Paul. According to a special from St. Paul, Mrs. Cleveland will not be received by the tip-top society ladies of that city when she arrives there next Monday. They would be glad to receive her if they could pick their com pany, but they object to being in the same “swim” with Mrs. Davis, the beautiful wife of United States Senator Davis. When it was known that the President and his wife would visit St. Paul 150 of the first citizens were appointed a reception committee, who, with their wives, were to do all the honors of the occasion. When it was learned that Senator Davis was one of the chief members of the committee, and that his wife would, of course, figure at the reception, the wives of the other commit teemen backed out of the affair and de clared that they woald have nothing to do with it But what is their objection to Mrs. Davis? Can anybody say a word against her, or is there a blemish on her reputation! No, she is proof against the tongue of gossip, and as pure as a snow flake. The objection to her is that, although the most beautiful woman in the Northwest, and although all Washington raved about her last winter, she was only a dressmaker when Senator Davis married her. He was Governor of the State at the time of the marriage, and match-making mothers never forgave her for snatching such a prize, as the handsome young Governor was, from the very grasp of their daughters. They are jealous of her beauty, and resent her sudden rise from an inferior social position. It seems that in Bt. Paul a man who rises to fame and riche* by his own exertions is honored, but that a woman, who by her beauty and accomplishments steps from poverty and drudgery into a position that entitles her to entrance into the highest social circles is received coldly and regarded with disfavor. Mrs. Davis, however, asks no favors. Although not a favorite in her own city, where the fact that she was a seamstress cannot be overlooked, she is welcomed in the best houses in other cities. George Crist, who is in New York city with no other apparent object than to boom Senator Allison for President, thought when he was defeated for Bergeant-at-Arms of the Benate that the world hail used him badly, but he now thinks that his defeat was about the most lucky thing that could have happened to him. Immediately after his defeat Benator Aliison procured for him a position in the Interior Department, where he had a roving commission to ex amine government laud affairs. While in the Southwest he heard of a gold mine in Honora, of which he obtained possession in company with a number of friends, and re cently sold his interest for upward of SIIOO,OOO. Three young New York toughs have just shown that though they were guilty of highway robbery they would not commit the meaner crime of allowing innocent men to be punished for it. One of them was caught utthe time the robbery was commit ted, and confessed his guilt. Two other young men were arrested on suspicion, iden tified by the victem, and convicted. Then, rather than see innocent men suffer, the man who had confessed guve the names of his companions to the officers, and when ap prehended they at once acknowledged the truth of his story. In this case the courts made a narrow escape from committing a grout wrong THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, OCTOBER s, 1887. Th 9 Sad Voyage of tiio A’.esia. A reporter of the New York Timm ob tained from the Rev. Dr. Maynard some of the facts of tho voyage of the Alesia, the steamer which brought the cholera-infected immigrants from Naples to New York a couple of weeks ago. There were about 000 immigrants on board when the steamer started from Naples, forty of whom were from the plague-stricken city of Palermo. The steam ship company should not have accepted the Palermo immigrants as passengers, and the Neapolitan authorities should not have per mitted them to board the vessel. During the first few days the immigrants were in the best of spirits. They sang and danced all day long, and their merry making lasted well into the night. They appeared to be without a care, and they in dulged in the most pleasurable anticipations with regard to the land for which they were bound. On the twelfth day a young Neapolitan died. It was stated that the cause of his death was heart disease, and there was no reason at the time to question the state ment, but for some unaccountable cause a feeling of dread, as if some terrible calamity were impending, crept into every heart. The glad songs were hushed, the merriment ceased and a stillness, like that which is witnessed in the presence of death, pervaded the steamer. The young Neapolitan's funeral was an impressive one. With drawn faces, and eyes that told of the indescribable fear by which they were haunted the immigrants watched the ceremony of consigning the body to the sea. The disease spread rapidly. The immi grants made no fight against it. They seemed to regard themselves as doomed, and to think that it was useless to struggle against what appeared to be their fate. "They collapsed,” says Dr. Maynard, “as a tent does when the pole ls removed, and were so listless and lifeless that they seemed to invite death bv their dread of it.” How many died on the voyage no one seems to know. There were no funerals after the first one. Every day had its list of victims, who were dropped into the sea without ceremony and without unnecessary delay. More Neapolitans died in propor tion to their number than of those from Palermo, although the latter brought the disease into the ship. It seems as if some action should be token to punish the steamship company for per mitting immigrants, known to have been exposed to cholera, to take passage on one of its vessels. Its greed has already cost many fives, anil may result in planting the dread disease in this country. Florida Railroad Rates. It is reported that the Railroad Commission of Florida has decided upon a very consider able reduction in passenger and freight rates. Assuming that this reixirt is correct, it is reasonable to supposs that the commission has given the business of the railroads of the State a very thorough study, and has reached the conclusion that the reduction decided upon will not injure the roads. Of course, the railroads in a State like Florida, where much of the country is sparsely set tled, and where business, both in freight and passengers, is comparatively small, can not exist upon the rates that afford hand some net incomes to roads which run through the thickly settled sections of country. The thing to be avoided is the making of railroad business so unprofitable that rail road building will practically cease. For the post half dozen years the building of railroads has been very active in Florida, and the roads have done more than any thing else to build up the State and make it what it is. It would be in the nature of a calamity, therefore, if any action were taken by the Railroad Commission that would tend to check railroad building. The commissioners, however, have the reputa tion of being level-headed men, and they will doubtless look out for the welfare of the State. The Tampa Scare. , It is asserted now that there are a few cases of yellow fever at Tampa, but the disease appears to be of a very mild type. Indeed it was doubtful for a day or two whether the disease was dengue or yellow fever. There is a good deal of dengue there and some malaria! fever, and it may be that the fever which appears to have given the Tampa people a great scare is not genuine yellow fever. The season is so advance! that there is very little chance for yellow fever to make much headway at Tampa or anywhere else in Florida now. Frost may be reasonably expected in three or four weeks, and already the weather is quite cool. However, the Florida people are justified in taking pre cautions. Jacksonville apparently doei not propose to take any chances. The refuge s arriving there from Tampa did not reieivoa very hospitable reception. They were hunted up and put on the northern-bound trains. Doubtless this was a hardship for some of them, because they probably lacked tho means for making a long journey. As the fever, if it really exists at Tampa, has not made its apjiearanee outside of two or three houses, it is not probable that any of the refugees are in a condition to spread the disease. They are pretty certain to be re garded with suspicion, howevor, at any place that has ever suffered from the fever, at which they may stop. A quarryman residing near Lookout Point, a high peak in the Black Hills country, recently found a flat stone leaning against a large oak tree. . The tree had grown around the edge Git i the ■Stone, show ing that the position 6f.*sliel£pße had been the same for many years. On one side of the stone were the names of 4vqu men and this inscription: “Came to these hills in 1888, seven of us. All dead but me, Ezra Kind. Killed by Ind,' bjiyond tbo high hill. Got our gold. June, IJCiA” On the ot her side of the stone was 1 tikis: “Got*ail the gold we could carry. Our pouvs all got by the lndiuns. I have lost my gun and nothing to eat, and Indians hunting ” The last of the inscription is illegible. Citizen George Francis Train announced In his last New York speech that he was going to Chicago to save the Anarchists, and expected to be shot. He stands in little danger of being shot or hung, but if he keeps on at his present rats, it may bo neeessarv to put him in a lunatic asylu m to relieve the people of an intolerable bore. Memphis people have mot the extrava gant demands of a monopoly in what will no doubt prove an effectual way. An in crease of til for telephone service was de manded by the company, and 800 subscribers ordered the instruments taken out of their houses. CURRENT COMMENT. When They Will Get Mercy. Prom tlte Philadelphia Times (Dent.) The Chigcago Anarchists wanted justice and, now that they are going to get it, they want mercy. Tney may get that, too, but not till after they are dead Sheridan May be the Man. From the Philadelphia Record ( Dem ). Probably both the Democratic and the Repub lican candidate for President in 1888 enjoyed the hospitality of Philadelphia on the late cen tennial occasion. It is quite likely that Gen. Sheridan may be the Republican choice. Evidence of a Reform. From the Chicago Tribune (.Rep.) Mr. Randall is going to deliver a speech and start the machinery' on the first day of the At lanta ex]s Kitten, which ojiens next week. He has been blocking the machinery of the tariff re form fora very long while, and It is a hopeful sign of progress that he is willing at last to set something moving. The President’s Tour. From the Missouri Republican (Dem.) It will lie said often in tie future by the ene mies of Democracy, who have lie gun to say it already, that the western trip is part of the i H-mocratic campaign, but when the President in his every worn and action makes it so clear that his Democracy is patriotism and his pa triotism Democracy, partisan rancor will be rendered powerless to injure bim by ascribing to him other motives than such as arise from a sincere desire to promote the welfare of the whole country, of the entire people.

PERSONAL. Algernon Charles Swinburne, the British poet, is in failing health and is leading a retired life. Mr. W. N. Beauclerk, Second Secretary to the British Legation at Rome, has been trans ferred to Washington and will shortly arrive then*. Countess Telfener, sister of Mrs. Mackay, lias secured, it is rumored, a separation from the Count, her husband. When she married, her bonanza brother-in-law gave her a hand some dowry. Edward Burgess is said to be enjoying great practical benefits, as well as international fame, in consequence of the achievements of the Puri tan, Mayflower and Volunteer. His hands are full of orders for lioat building. Miss Emm\ Lazarus, the poet, who Inis been very ill in Paris for several months past, has just returned to her home in New York city much improved in health, hut she is not yet strong enough to continue her literary labors. The Comtesse de Paris, wife of the Bourbon pretender to the French throne, is more mascu line than h*r husband in many of her tastes. She is passionately fond of shouting and every sort or hunting, whereas he likes sedentary oc cupations. Robert Garrett is leading rather an isolated life m Paris. He is to l>e seen a good deal on the boulevards wanderingabout apparently in an aimless fashion. He rarely wears the same suit i wice, and he has exhibited some startling spec imens of the tailors’ aid.. Princess William, who is likely at no very distant day to be Empress of German}*, is a fair blonde, not beautiful, but decidedly attractive. She. has a bright, smiling face, charming man ners and plenty of tact. She dresses in good taste, and her figure is well rounded, but slen der. Louis T. Rrbihho has been awarded the con tract for th* $20,000 monument of President Harrison to Ik* erected in Cincinnati. The famous sculptor, Ezekiel, was Rehisso's most prominent rival for the contract. Rebisso was i)orn in Genoa, Italy, in 1887. He went to Gin clnnati in 1887. Sir Charles Young, the dramatist, was a man of deeply religious views long before he took the extreme step of joining the Church of Rome, six months l*fore his death. He was for many years secretary of the famous high church organization known as the English Church Union. Marx Twain Is very particular about the edu cation of his children. He has a school room in his house, which is filled with pretty chintz-cov ered furniture and floods of sunshine, and there his three little daughters study every day from It until 1. These children are remarkably good linguists, and have been taught to speak French, German anil Italian. Mrs. Dahtx;rkn. the widow of the Admiral, will take up her residence in Washington dur ing the winter. For several years past Mrs. Danlgreu has lived at her country seat, near South Mountain, which is said to represent a uiediipval castle. She owns nearly 8,000 acres of land in Maryland, and is in receipt of a large income. The people in her neighborhood always s)>cak of her as the “ludy of the cas tle." . r is reported that the Prince of Wales has d:s Sereda new American beauty this year at lloinburg, whom he propones introducing to London society during the earning season. This timp Lie young lady is not only endowed with great physical attractions ami heavy money Ivigs, bui, moreover, with a contralto voice, which his royal highness asserts is eqiuel to the voice of Trehelli when in he** orirae. Luckily this time there is no mother or father, but uuiy nine brothers and a younger sLtor. Reg-artl lor the Proprieties. From the Bottom Conner. A coqntrv maiden who was newly engaged ran in familiarly to see a neighbor one morning, and after she was gone the hostess mentioned the fact to a third acquaintance. "I haven't seen Alice before since she was en gaged,” she said. "She was looking wonder fully bright and happy. 1 am glad she ia in such good spirits.” "Did you congratulate her?” a*bed the other. “What did you say?” “Congratulate her?' 1 echoed the first speaker. “Why, no, how could I when I had on my old calico and tny hair wasn't even combed? I’ve got to go and see her for that.' Which shows that the social proprieties are not lost sight of even in the rural districts. Noblesse Oblige. Front the Century. What is diviner than the peace of foes! He conquers not who docs not conquer hate. Or thinks the shining wheels of heaven wait On his forgiving. Dimmer the laurel shows On brows that darken; and war-won repose Is but a truce when heroes atxlicate To Huns unfolding those of elder date Whose every corse a fiercer warrior rose. Oye that saved the land! Ah yes. and ye That bless its savitig! Neither need forget The price our destiny did of both demand— Toil, want, wounds, prison, and the lonely sea Of tears at home. Oh, look on these. And yet— Before the human fail you— quick! your hand! Robert Underwood Johnson. A Trick of Speech. From the Host on Courier. Tricks of speech grown into mannerisms often betray people into blunders absurd enough. One instance of this pomes from a town in Maine, where dwelt a man who qualified his re ply to every question with the word ‘‘handy” twisted into some sort of a conditional clause. It was even asserted that lie projwised to the lady who became his wife by declaring he would like to marry her “if she could make it handy.” but this very likely is a fabrication of invidious gossips. (’ailing recently at a house, of which the late master was lying unburied in the parlor, the visitor was asked if he would like to see the re mains of his oh! friend. “Well, yes,” he answered, “that is, Id like to see them if .vou’vq got ’em ’round handy. If you haven’t, it’s no matter.” Puncturing? a “Masher's” Vanity. Frfrii the San Francises Chronicle. He wtts an elegant thing. Perhaps his clothes were not paid for. and he had not had any din ner, but he looked wealthy and was stylish to a degree. An ineffable consciousness of irresisti ble fascinating power overspread him from the top of his silk hat to the toe of his polished boot. The collar was high up, and his mous tache away out in greased points. Oh. he was elegant. And he stood at the corner of the street, ogling the girls as they passed. Thir giggles he took for admiration, and when they couldn't resist taking another look at the gorgeous thing he felt that they had simply fallen before his beauty and attractiveness. He stood against a store window on the very cor ner, and just beside him was a tamal stand. The owner of th fi tamal parlor had moved away for a moment, ami two young ladies whom he had been ogling for some time came past him for a third time. He grinned. Taere was a little crowd stopped at the corner by a passing ear, and when the young man grinned one of the young ladies walked up to him, blandly, politely and graciously aud s lid in a voice that could *>e heard by the crowd: “How much do you charge for your tamales?” The crowd turned round and looked, and the gorgeous thing disappeared very hastily. The Wickedest Place in Town. From the Chictigo Journal. A rather old-fashioned but very sincere and devout Christian minister, whos - life has been devoted to ministering to the spiritual wants of smaller and perhaps better corn mum ties than Chicago, recently made Rev. C. M. .Morton, the evangelist, a visit. He saw a great many things in the city, particularly on the Sabbath, that shocked his sense of propriety arid morality, but he was assured that all great cities con tained large ntiml>ers of godless people, anu that Chicago was no worse than a dozen other places east or west of us. He was too well lirei to question the word of his host, but be came thoroughly convinced that since the de struction of Sodom the world had never seen such a wi' ked citj'. His right *o is indignation finally reached the point of explosion when he read an item in the paper in regard to the Wo man’s Exchange. “Is it true- tba‘ there is a Woman's Exchange in Chicago?” he asked ot Mr. Morton. That gentleman saw from the ex citement of his guest that he misapprehended the use of that worthy institution,hut he did not undecceive him. “I believe there is,” he r*- plied. ‘‘Can it have come to this in a Christian city!” exclaimed the indignant clergyman. ”A public place, opofily advertised, where men change their wives! I tell you that all the imps of hell are loose in your city, sir!” The Bushy-Ha’red Man. From the I/neiston Journa’. A bushy-haired man, driving the burses of the street sprinkler, bad buck 'd up to the standpipe in Lewiston and was lighting hi* pipe, “Whoa, blank ye,” shouted he to the horses, as they started up, so that the powerful stream from the standpipe struck up on the side of the big tank of the street sprinkler and spattered w idely. The horses stopped deliberately, and the bushy-haired man gave three or four desis-rate pulls on his pipe to sa>e his smoke before he gathered in his rains and gave a yank. Haste eternally begi ts waste, and pride goeth before a fall. The man, in much anger, yanked desperately on his horses and his horses backed. The last seen of the mati was in a nimbus of curling smoke. luch by inch the stream from the stnndpi|>e with til" full force of the water pressure, approached the edge of the tank. Twenty persons saw it and held their breaths. The horses reared their heads and shook with anger. The huge tank sliptied past the rushing stream, and in less than two shakes of a lamb's tail the bushy-haired man was it) the track of the water spout, and the way his hat flattened out, his pipe sizzldt) in wet ashes, the way lie shouted and drove and banged ou the bucks of his horses was a caution.
