The polyglot population of Chicago repre sents nearly every nation. The News, of that city, published welcoming adilnwses to President Cleveland in seventeen languages, ell written by citizens of Chicago. A French Admiral has submitted plans for a bridge across tbe Dover straits. He will hardly gain the consent of the English for its construction, even if such a thing be feasible They were afraid to allow a tun nel to be dug. Men praise Tammany now who never did so before. It has come out for the nomina tion of Delaney Nicoll, who did so much to convict the boodlers, for District Attorney. When you come to think of it, Tammany has put many good men in office. Three Boston sportsmen have found out that in Maine at least the game laws are en forced. They were fined #2,000 for killing two deer in close time. There will be regret in Georgia, some time, that her game laws are allowed to remain almost a dead letter. Sir Samuel Baker recommends that the Irish police be provided with rawhide shields, to protect them from the stones thrown by the infuriated peasantry. Should this be done, they will resemble somewhat in ap pearance, as well as conduct, the savages of Central Africa. Editor Henry Watterson declined to be a Candidate for the United States Senate, and he has no doubt derided wisely. Kentueky has many men who would represent her creditably in the Senate, but Mr. IVatter- Bon’s place in journalism it would be almost impossible to filL One of the most striking incidents of the demonstration in Chicago in honor of Pres ident Cleveland was the enthusiasm with which the people greeted the battalion of policemen which marched in the parade. It must have discouraged the few sympa thizers of the condemn ed Anarchists. Private Dalzell, one of the founders of the Grand Army of the Republic and a Republican, denounces the "stale old lie” that the society is non-partisan. He says it was organized to vote for Grant, and is now practically all that there is of the Republi can party. The politicians are not so frank be Private Dalzell. Kentucky hospitality is a great thing. Henry Watterson introduced Congressman Kelley, in Louisville, to make a protection apeech. There are few representatives of the protective theory, however, of whom Mr. Watterson could have honestly spoken In such flattering terms as he did of the old Pennsylvania champion of protection. Mr. Wharton Barker says he will depend on his government to enforce his claims against China, should the Mitkiewicz con cessions be withdrawn. If all the stories of fraud and misrepresentation told of Mitkiewicz be true, Mr. Barker ought to be liable for damages to the Chinese for the acts of his agent. He will hardly persuade the United States to do any enforcing in his behalf. It is constantly being said that the foreign Steamship lines do not pay. It is to be ob served, however, that they are constantly building larger and more costly vessels. The Hamburg line has just determined upon the construction of two of the finest steam ships ever built to add to its already large fleet. So much money would hardly be ex pended if previous ventures of the same sort had not brought in good returns. A Northern |>aper congratulates the Southern States that the “scandalous prac tices prevalent in some Northern States in the choice of United States Senators have not been introduced in the South.” This is very nearly true, but we may not havo to wait long for the introduction, if the deter mination of a certain element to defeat the will of the people in this State is adhered to. It can succeed only by the use of such means as those referred to. Bishop Moore, of St. Augustine, Fla., Seems to be Dr. McGlynn’s principal cham pion. lie has just appealed to Koine to re opoit the case and annul the excommunica tion. He is probably wasting his labor. McGlynn was excommunicated because of his refusal to come to Home, not for any thing he had done before that time, and his Intemperate language siuce then has doubt less sottled the question *of his relation to tbs Kunlun Catholic church tinally. Scheming Against Mr. Cleveland. The Republican leaders know that they have no chance of electing their candidate for President next year if Mr. Cleveland is renominated. Their aim, therefore, is to defeat his renomination. They doubtless think that if they carry New York this fall the chances for Mr. Cleveland's renomina tion will be greatly lessened. They are. therefore, making extraordinary efforts to carry that State at the approaching elec tion. They selected Cot. Fred Grant to lead their ticket, not because they thought him to lie especially fitted for the office for which he is a candidate, but liecause they believd that, aided by the great popularity which his father enjoyed, he would get an extraordinarily large vote. But they do not, it seems, intend to de pend wholly upon the Grant name for vic tory. It is hinted that an understanding has been arrived at between the Republican leaders and Henry George by which the latter is (o do all he can to further the in terests of the Republican party. The New York Legislature at its last session passed a law providing for the ap pointment of an additional election inspec tor for each election district in New York city to look after the interests of any party that cast over 50,000 votes at the last municipal election. Henry George received considerably more than that number when he was a candidate for Mayor last spring, and some time ago he demanded that the additional inspectors should be chosen from the political party of which be is now the chief. His demand was ac ceded to and the inspectors were selected and sworn in. It is a question, however, whether the George party—or the United Labor party as it is called—has any right whatever to inspectors. It had no exist ence at the time Mr. George was a candi date for Mayor. He was nominated by the Progressive Labor party which has since withdrawn from his support. It is noticeable that Mr. George intrusted the selection of these additional inspectors to a Republican, and there does not appear to Is- any doubt that the great majority, if not all, of them are Republicans. It is also significant tliat the Republican newspapers insist that Mr. George's party is entitled to the additional inspectors, and that the cam paign literature of that party is being cir culated by the Republicans. All these things point to an understanding between Mr. George and the Republican leaders. New York got* Republican al>out as often as it goes Democratic, and while the out look now is that it will go Democratic this fall, there is, of course, a possibility tliat it will not. If the Republicans should carry it the enemies of Mr. Cleveland in his own party will at once insist that he cannot carry New York next year, and, therefore, should not lie renominated That is just what the Republican leaders want. If thev can get Mr. Cleveland out of the way they will enter upon the national campaign with a feeling that they have a pretty fail- chance for success. Foraker Wasn’t Snubbed. The positive declaration of the President that Mrs. Cleveland had no intention of snubbing Gov. Foraker and his wife at the Philadelphia Centennial rolls the Ohio statesman of some of his campaign material. At the lunch given by Mrs. Hendricks, at Indianapolis, to the President and his wife, Mrs. Hendricks remarked to Mrs. Cleveland that the only unkind things said of her since her entrance into the White Hotlse were in connection with the charge that she had treated Gov. Foraker and his wife dis courteously at Philadelphia. Tbe President, who overheard Mrs. Hendricks’ remark, said that the failure of Mrs. Cleveland to shake hands with Gov. and Mrs. Foraker was not intentional. It was simply one of those things which cannot always be avoided at crowded receptions. It is strange that Uov. Foraber should have permitted a false impression of the Philadelphia affair to get abroad, and, that too, with his approval, apparently. His conduct on his way to Ohio, after the cele bration was over, and even after he reached his home, was such as to leave the impres sion that he had been deliberately slighted. Unless he was perfectly satislied that such was the case, he shodld have at once denied the truth of the story. His own self re spect should have influenced him to sup pose that no discourtesy to him was in tended unless there was not room for two opinions about the matter. Can it lie possible that he had no idea that he had been slighted until he saw in a Re publican paper the story that he had been, and that then he concluded not to deny it, but lot it stand and use it against the Presi dent in his political speeches? It certainly looks a little that way, and yet it seems hard to believe that the Governor of a great State like Ohio would be guilty of anything of that kind. In view of the denial of the President it is due from Gov. Foraker to say, at least, that he was mistaken, and that he regrets having done Mrs. Cleveland an injustice. The Colored Female at Minneapolis. A colored woman* named Hollingsworth is a delegate from some Southern State to the Knights of Labor convention at Minne apolis. She appears to be one of that kind of women who raise up their voices in pub lic assemblies. There is nothing to be said against her on that account, however, a-s many good women nowadays talk as elo quently and sensibly as men, in conventions and from the lecture platform. There is some reason for objecting to some of her sentiments, however. In the course of her remarks she said that she rep resented the colored [xsople of the South, and that in her opinion there was a bond of unity between the people of Ireland and her people. Site wanted the Irish leader, Mr. Davitt, to visit the South and see the condition of the colored people, which she described as being “worse than in the slavery days.” It is safe to say that the colored people do not agree With their delogato respecting their condition. Asa rule, they appear to be very well satisfied with their surround ings. They are about as contented as any people on the fueo of the earth, and they don’t appear to have many cares or troubles. They have about all the necessaries of life and they don't labor as hard and as contin uously as many of the white people do. As for their material and moral condition, it is steadily improving. It is tho fault of the colored jieoplo themselves that it doesn’t improve faster. They have about tho same chance for getting ahead in tho world that those of the white people have who are no more abundantly provided with this world’s goods than they are. The schools are open to them, and there is no discrimination against them in any of the avenues in which a living is to be earned. They can become farmers and landownere if they want to, with the assurance that they will get just as much for their cotton. THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, OCTOBER 0, 1887. corn and sucar as white fanners, or they can become mechanics, with the certainty tliat they will be paid according to tbe quality of their work. No, the colored people have no reason to complain, and those who are thrifty and in dustrious do not complain. Their homes and their lives are just what they make them. Their future is in their own hands, ami they ought to discourage such talk as that of their woman delegate at Minne apolis. Competition Checked. There does not seem to be any immediate prospect of successful competition with the Western Union Telegraph Company. When the Baltimore and Ohio telegraph system was established it was expected to grow un til it became :tlmost as great as the Western Union system. It had a big railroad sys tem to assist it, and a company that was re garded as one of the richest in the country. It has, however, become the property of tbe Western Union, and its books show that instead of being a paying concern it. lost money almost from the start, and that its losses amounted to almost as much as i 100,00) a year. The Western Union has grown into a monster corporation. Its capital stock is now about #51,000.000, its debt about #7,- 000,000, and it will have to issue aliout $5,- 000,000 ifl ! of stock to pay for the Balti more and Ohio system. It is pretty safe to say that when it gets its affairs all straightened out it will have to pay dividends upon about £100,000,000. That be ing the case the prospect of lower telegraph rates is not very encouraging. The Western Union has gone on absorbing one line after another until only a few in significant lines now remain outside of its control. They do not do sufficient business, however, to materially -rfere with it. Doubtless other lines will lie es tablished, but they can have very little hope of competing successfully with the immense corporation that virtually does the telegraph business of the eutire coun try. To get business it would have to cut rates, and it would take a big bank account to stand a reduction in the rates for a longer time than the Western Union. It may be that rates will be raised slightly now that the Baltimore and Ohio opposition lias been removed. It is certain that the Western Union has not been making Jits stockholders happy with dividends lately. If it paid dividends only upon the actual cost of its property, or the amount for which the property could now be replaced, its stock would be about the most valuable in the country. The rates .could be lowered, and still the dividends would rival those of the best jiaying stock in the country. Encouraging Immigration. The people of Florida are working in the right way. They appreciate the fact that what is most needful to their prosperity is the diffusion of information as to the advan tages of the State as a place of resi dence. A concerted movement to thoroughly advertise the State and induce immigration is now on foot, and there is no doubt the public-spirited people of Florida will aid it in every way possible. An important meet ing of the Executive Committee of the Florida Immigration Association was held in Jacksonville a day or two ago, the mem bers of which are leading citizens, repre senting every' part of the State. Agents will be appointe 1 to organize blanch associ ations in the different counties, and every effort will be put forth to make the move - ment a popular one. The expense noed not be very great, and if any considerable pro iwrtion of those who will be lienefited con tribute to the fund the tax will lie very light. The aid which has been proffered by the railroads, of which mention has already bjen made by the Morning News, will prove a very valuable supplement to the work done by the State Association. Per haps through no other agency can effective advertising be done so cheaply as through the Northern railroads, and as half the money spent to induce travel to Florida will be contributed by them, they will be cer tain to see that it is judiciously expended. There is no reason why Florida should not profit by the methods which have made the Western States rich. Their lands are now held at high prices, they are thickly populated, and they are studded with large cities and prosperous towns. One of the principal factors in their rapid growth has been the skill and persistency with which they have advertised their resources. Ttie same methods will produce a like effect in’Florida, for her attractions, if dissimilar, are yet equally as great as those of tbe West. One effect of the hot tight made by the Independents on the regular Democrats in Maryland has been to drive together in de fense of the party men who had loug been enemies. The Independents and their Republican allies are not going to have a walk-over by any means. In Baltimore Gen. Latrobe, who has ulready served two or more terms in that office, has been nomi nated by the regular Democrats for Mayor, and expresses himself as certain of election. He ought to be, if the Independents fail to meet his challenge to point out any depart ment of the State or municipal government which lias not been honestly administered. Investigation is making it plain that a determined effort was made by the railroads to bribe numerous members of the New Hampshire legislature. Not one seems to to have resented the offer of money for his vote, and several confessed that they hat consented to be bought, but afterward re lented. The average price seems to have been about SI,OOO, which is somewhat more than colored legislators sold for during the car pet-bag regime in tho South. This is fur ther evidence that the New England Yan kee holds hituself higher than tho negro, in spite of his protestation to the contrary. Henry George is expending part of his energy in nttacking the system prevalent in New York of assessing candidates for valuable offices thousands of dollars. As long as ho is on this line he must have the sympathy of all except tho politicians. As long as candidates can be made to pay large sums to reward the small politicians for their support there will be little chanco to reduce the compensation paid certain officials to something like the worth of theif services. The present system is a fertile source of corruption, especially in New York municipal polities. The Governor of Nebraska declines to give any reason for his refusal to honor a requisition for a Tennessee white man who murdered a negro in a most brutal manner. Every day makes plainei the necessity fora requisition law of the kind recently agreed upon by the conference in New York. There should be no refuge for a murderer in the United States. CURRENT COMMENT. Powderiy’s Philosophy From the Philadelphia Pren* ißep.) General Master Workman Powderlys remark, “I>*t me eloct the assessor, and I care oot who elects the President." is the uteraace of a phi losopher At all events, nobody would take it for the utterance of a politician. George Wants City Property. From the Xe\r York Graphic ( Dem.) The Mc< ilynu.s and the tbsorges are not willing to take tip unoccupied Western lands, but say they want land in New York. They prefer the more valuable article, with all its advantages of cultivation and nearness to market. Well, that ls quite natural; bqt it is melancholy to think they should be a* unscrupulous as to want to get it for nothing, as the footiiad gets his money. Th3 Opposition to Colquitt. From the Philadelphia Record (Dem.) The hostility manifested toward Senator Col quitt, of Georgia, and Seoator Morgan, of Ala bama, by little knots of protectionists parading as Democrats in their respective States may be accepted as a safe sign tnat they will lie re elected. Every Representative in Congress from Georgia ami Alabama occupies precisely the same ground on the tariff as do Senators Colquitt and Morgan, and this fact indicates the sentiments of the overwhelming majority of the Democratic masses of those two States.

Then, too. every popular picture of the woman worth $38.00:>.000 has been of a thin, angular, vinegary female wim.se clothes dragged on tlx* ground. She is. in fact, a big, plump woman, who must turn the scale at W pounds, and her togs are first-class. The Howland block is hers, and her private office is on the second floor, in the rooms of her Chicago agents. She has been here some weeks, and her sou, an amiable, un assuming sort of young fellow, is here perma nently, over at 44 Ann street. A broker who had a loan to make met Hetty Green on the street at 9 o’clock one morning this week and presented the opportunity to her. “That was offered to me at 7 o'clock this morn ing,” she said sharply, “and I refused it.” The broker had had an idea that women with more money tliau they knew how to invest laid abed until about 10. Mrs. Green doesn't spend any of her money at the hotel. She takes lodging with her agent down on the south side, comes down town on an early car, and during the day walking is good enough for her. The boy doesn't weigh much more than half as much as his mother, but has some of the maternal in stincts. To go to the expense of printing a business card would be an übomination. Bo he has a little rubber stomp, and when a card is at all necessary he £ears off a little piece of paper from a novspaper in one instance that the writer knows of—and stamps thereon: ‘*E. H. H. Green, Real Estate, 42 Ann street.” Hetty Green owns the Howland block. Rhe loaned Honor© $250,000 on it when he was flying high, and when he couldn’t pay the interest Hetty took the property. A broker says he'd like to have it to sell now at $750,009. She had a $250,000 mortgage on the Major block at the same time, and was very much disgruntled be cause the owner was enabled to get around and redeem. She has big blocks of improved prop erty all over the city. Her big investment here, however, is in loans. They are believed to ag gregate about $3,000,000. A Persuasive Kentucky Girl. Fromthr Louisville. Courier-Journal. Society has something to talk about. It is the origmal manner in which a young lady over ruled a decision of her father's. The daughter of a well-known professional gentleman wished to make a visit to some friends in New Orleans. The father withheld his consent. The yonng lady was very indignant. Her father enter tained some gentlemeu friends at his home and gave a handsome supper. In the midst of the meal they heard a tremendous noise in the room above them. It sounded as if someone were overturning all tlio furniture. The host rose hastily aim went up to see what was the matier. His daughter was lying squarely on her back in the middle of the floor. i>ounding It with her heels aud small pietvs of furniture she held in her hands. He asked her what, was the matter, and she replied that she wished to go to New Orleans. Ho told her to stop her uoise. that she could not go. Ho went back down to his guests, and in ten minutes the noise was re sumed worse than ever. Ho went up to his daughter's room and again found her beating the floor. “You can go to New Orleans,” he exclaimed, angrily, “and you can start to night.” Thus the young lady carried her point. Fair and Mackay. From the Reno Gazette. John Mackay is reported to have told some friends in Virginia City that he did not seek Fair for assistance, but the offer came voluntarily from Fair. Mackay tolls it in this way: “i met him coming along the stn?et, and he says: Mobil, I think you are distressed, and if you are, I've got five million you can have if you like, and let by-gones go.* * accepted the offer, and Jim would have to kick me all ovim* the bank before I could be made to think he wasn't a pretty good fallow.
