that about 2,000 peo; le in that city arc ill
with it. A like epidemic prevailed in East
ern New York in 1842, during the term of
office of President Tyler, and it was then
.called the “Tyler grip.” The pbysicia s
jwere unable to give it a name when it re- I
jappeared recently, until they found that i 1

?Tha Olive Bill Unpopular.
ft seems useless ter the legislature to
waste any more time on the Olive bilL
Sentiment throughout the state appears to
be strongly against it. The support it had
when it was first introduced i.-to the legis
lature was based almost wholly upon a
scare caused by a great railroad combina
tion that was made about that time. It is
understood now that the scare was causeless.
The i ailroad combination has not injured
the state, and has not oppressed the peop e.
It is not likelv to do so. In fact, it is now
quite apparent that it has no power to do
so. The railroad commission is fully able
to protect the people from the greed of rail
road corporations, however ma it of them
may enter into a combination for the pur
pose of securing harmonious action.
The idea runs through the Olive bill that
the constitution of the state forbids combi
nations of railroads. A careful reading of
ttiat instrument shows this idea to be erro
neous. What tbe constitution and -os is this:
It prohibits the general assembly fro u giv
ing one corporation authority to buy shares
in another, or to make any agreement with
another the effect of which will be to lessen
competition. The legislature has not given
any corporation authority of this sort, and
has not been asked to do so. The constitu
tion, therefore, has not been violated, and
the necessity for legislalion like that pro
posed in the Olive bill does not exist.
ine tendency among railroads is to com
bine. The reason is that one great com
bination can be operated at much less ex
pense, and to much greater advantage, than
a number of comparatively small corpora
tions. Of course the great combination has
great power, and would probably make dis
criminations that would be injurious to the
people if it were permitted to do so. The
railroad commission, however, which has
become an institution in nearly all tbe
states, is well able to take care of the
people's interests. The chairman of the
commission in this state expresses his entire
confidence in its ability to protect the
people of Georgia against any railroad
combination that may be formed.
Something, of course, can be said in fa
vor of the Olive bill, but it is worthy of
notice that what has been said in favor of
it appeals to passion and prejudice rather
than to reason. It is a bill that is apt to
capture the unthinking, but not one who is
a careful observer and thinker. It certainly
ought not to command the support of auv
one who is anxious for the development of
the state’s resources, because it is calculated
to keep capitali-ts front investing in rail
road enterprises in the state. It will be
time enough to favor such bills as the Olive
bill when it becomes apparent that the in
terests of the people demand them.
7 he Johnstown Funds.
Gov. Beaver of Pennsylvania is being
quite generally criticised by the press of
that state for his failure to give the names
of the banks from which ho is obtaining
the $1,(XX),000, which he is expendi g o
behalf uf tne state in repairing the damage
done by the flood in Conemaugh, Juniata
and Susquehanna valleys, and for his fail
ure to state tbe objects to which he is ap
plying the money. The legislature is ex
liected. of course, to repay this money to
the banks that arc furnishing it, and, as it
will come out of the pockets of the taxpay
ers, they very naturally want to know
somethi g about tho manner in which it is
being distributed.
The governor may be doing what is right.
In fact, it is not charged that there is any
thing that justifiex a suspicion that tho
money is not being honestly expended. His
refusal to name tho banks that aro furnish
ing the money and to state the objects to
which it is applied may breed suspicion
that there is crooked work of some kin 1
going on. These suspicions may become so
strong that d.fficulty may be experienced in
getting the legislature to repay the loan.
The wiser course for the governor to pursue
would be to keep the public informed re
specting the distribution of the loan. It is
the people’s money that is being spent and
they have a right to know all the facts con
nected with it.
The governor has made a semi-official
statement about the disbursement of the
charity fund, which, by the way, amounts
thus far to about $2,000,000. Those who
contributed this fund appear to be satisfied
with the way in which it is being dis
tributed. Some of the Johnstown people,
however, are not. 1 hey want the money
placed in the hands of their local commit
tee for distribution. The governor cau’i
satisfy everybody. The chances are, how
ever, that as near as he knows how ho will
do what is right.
Ths will of the late Maurice B. Flynn, of
New York, has been filed for probate. Ho
left all of his property, valued at about
$2,000,000, to his wife, and a curious featu o
of the will is that his only daughter was
unprovided for. He said: “1 am not un
mindful of the fact ‘hat I have a child
named Vera, but as she is in the care and
custody of my beloved wife, 1 have made
no disposition of my estate to her, in the
full belief that iny beloved wife will have
due regard for her future welfare and hap
i incss.” The Herald publishes a rumor
that the will will tie contested.
lhe recei-t declaration of President Aus
tin Corbin, of the Reading railroad, that
no member of a labor organization would
be employed on his road, has caused Geueral
Master Workman Powderly to write an ar
ticle in wbicu he says some sharp things
about President Corbin and the Reading
road. He arraigns the road for b iycotti g
labor organizations, and says that labor’s
hope is the ballot He urges workingmen
to forsake parties and to work for ballot re
form.
The Kuyer estate in Kingston, N. Y.,has
been “eaten up” by court costs and law
yers’ fees. It was valued at several thou
sand dollars, but when Mr. Kuyer died he
left a will which was not satisfactory to all
of his relatives. The consequence was that
when the lawyers got through with the
case there was $1 left to be divided among
tbe relatives. It is becoming more and more
difficult for a person to dispose of his prop
erty by will as ho wishes.
The office of United States deputy mar
shal for Oklahoma is not a very desirable
one for a man who hasn’t become tired of

have contained accounts of the killing of
three men who held the office,Siud who
were trying to perform their duty. The
office is now vacant, and probably tbe ap
plicants for the vacancy will be very few.

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, JULY 19, 1889.
Shannon's Jury BUI.
A bill that will attract considerable at
tention when it is introduced into the legis
lature is that which Senator Shannon, of
Twiggs county, is now preparing. The pur
pose of it is to abolish exemptions from
jury duty in cases of felo y. A crying evil
in this state is jury exemptions. In the
cities particularly nearly ail of tbe das* of
citizens best qualified for jury duty are ex
empted. The result is that it ip extremely
difficult to get a jury that is competent to
render a verdict in accordance with the law
and the facts in either civil or criminal
cases.
The fact that a man is rich or prominent,
or .ias import nt business affairs which de
mand the greater part of bis time, is no
reason why he should be permitted to shirk
jury duty. It is all nonsense to say that
business men cannot act as jurymen with
out making great sacrifice of their business
interests. When they want to leave their
homes for a week or month they find no
difficulty in arranging to do so.
It is u just to impose upoa a few citizens
the duty of acting as jurymen. These few
may also have business interests which suf
fer because of their temporary inability to
direct them, but they are either too con
scientious to 8 lirk the duty which, as citi
zens, they are required to perform, or they
are too poor to comply with tho financial
conditions upon which exemption can tie
secured.
Senator Shannon’s bill does not go far
enough. It ought to include important
civil cases as well as the graver criminal
ones. In the courts in the cities cases re
quiring for their decision a high order of
intelligence and good judgment aro all the
time being tried. There are so many ex
emptions that jurors having the right ki id
of qualifications aro difficult to get.
Cases, therefore, are not unfrequently de
termined by those who are governed by
prejudice, or who lack ability to roach the
truth from the facts and the law.
Senator Sh mnon’.s bill is only a step in
the right direction. There is certainly
great need for reform in the jury system
as it exists in many of the counties of this
state.
Parnell’a Withdrawal.
Public sentiment everywhere will uphold
Mr. Parnell aud his associate defendants in
withdrawing from further participation in
tho proceedings before tbe Parnell commis
sion. The ruling of the commission was so
unfair to the defendants that it was useless
for them to continue to defend themselves.
Asa matter of fact, however, in the estima
tion of well-informed ad unprejudiced
people everywaere they bad no occasion
to make any further defense. When
Pigott admitted that he was a forger,
aud that the alleged Parnell letters, upon
which tne London Times had based most
of its charges, were forgeries, Mr. Parnell
and his associates were vindicated. The in
quiry ought to have stopped there, ad it
would have stopped had the commission
been organized to discover the truth and do
justice to all parties.
The immediate cause of the withdrawal
of Mr. Parnell aud his associates was the
refusal of tho commission to permit an in
spection of the hooks of the “Irish Patriot
Union.” The injustice of this refusal is un
derstood when it is known that this union
is an organization of Irish landlords, and
that tho commission readily granted an
order for tho production of the books of
the Land League and ail private papers
which the prosecution called for. The de
fendants expected to show by the books of
tho union that the union originated the
charges against them aud that the charges
wore the result of a conspiracy.
Evidently the books of the union con
tained matters which the prosecution was
afraid to have made public. Pigott fur
nished the union with the spurious Parnell
letters, and it was upou these letters that
the Times based most of its artic.es entitled
“Parnollism and Crime.” The commission
continues is investigation, but it has lost
the confidence of those whose respect and
confidence are most to be desired.
Miss C'a harine Gaffney is dead. Proba
bly t e public doesn’t know who Cathariue
Gaffney was, but she had an interes in g his
tory, nevertheless. She spent a good many
years in a poorb use in New York, although
she had a wealthy brother in Chicago, and
about a year eg . a relative died, leaving
her about §40,000. Then she discovered that
ner living relatives wore very fond of her.
They insisted that she should make her
home with them, but the old lady refused,
saying that a uat room in an old ladies’
home was good enough for her. For the
last year she had a room in such an institu
tion. A notice of her death was printed in
the New' York newspapers the other day,
and the relatives who refused to keep her
out of the poorhouse, but who, as soon as
she became wealthy, discovered th it they
could not do too much for her, are secretly
rejoicing over the prospect of having her
money divided among them.
The fact that Senator Chandler’s ear was
pulled bv Senator Blackburn doubt less had
something to do with Chandler's r -election,
and now the question is being asked, will
that lit le episode help Senator Blackburn
in his canvass for re-elec ion? It is proba
ble that it will. Kentuckians like a fighter.
The legislature which will elect Black jura’s
successor will be cuosen nax; month, and
will meet next December. There are two
ot er candidates—ex-G.iv. McCreary and
ex-Congress nan McKenzie—but Mr. Black
burn is thought to have the advantage. It
was Yumored some time ago that Mr. Car
lisle would be a candidate for senator, but
in a private letter, received in Louisville
the other day, he stated that he would not.
The New York Press thinks the President
has conspicuously rec >guiz ;d the colored
people by appointing Fi e 1 Douglass, John R.
Lynch and Robert Smalls to office. Frob
ably au investigation would show that
during the first four or five months of his ad
ministration Mr. Cleveland appointed m"re
colored people to office than President Har
rison has, and it is certain that none of his
colored appointees had an unsavorv record
such as that of Smalls. President Harrison
thus far has not shown that he is grateful
for the colored vote, without which he
would have been defeated. He has ap
pointed o ly a few leading colored poli.i
cians to office.
Uncle Jerry Rusk says that he feels sura
that President Harrison will be a candidate
for renomination, and that he would be a
popular and successful candidate. He
thinks the President is particularly popular
with the common people. Such a state
ment seems rather surprising, in view of
tho fact that the President has alwavs
boasted of his blue blood, and has told the
common people to keep their distance.
Perhaps, however, this is one of Uncle
Jerry’s little jokes.

Chandler's Contortions.
From the Baltimore Sun (Dem.)
Since William E. Chandler broke the long
silence which he maintained after his ear was
pu:l<*d by Senator Blackburn he has become
quite garrulous. It will be b**st for him to keep
silence. A man who permits his ear to be
pmled without the least attempt at resentment
does not in the least help himself by undertak
ing to indicate or cast aspersions upon the one
who inflicted the .ndigmty upon him. The
latest effusion of Mr. Chandler is simply piti
able. He wriggles through nearly a column of
matter in the endeavor to be satirical and
facetious bu he takers great care to abstain
from any pomf-blank denial that his ear was
twisted. Insolence and audacity very rarely,
indeed, go ha id in hand witn courage. Mr.
Chandler is Altogether deficient in the latter,
but is running over with the two former
qualities.

Mistook the Reading.
From Texas Siftings.
Oilliflower isn't much of a scholar, and the
other nis'tit when he was reading to his old
fashioned wife out of a newspaper, he came
across an item about some woman having
charge of twenty-five kindergartens. The J;v,t
n being a litt!<* blurred he read it, “twenty-five
kind er garters.”
• exclaimed the oil lady, as she
snatched cfT her spectacles in astonishment,
“twenty-five kind er garters! No wonder there's
so many busted people and repytasbeus nowa
days. Why. when I was a gal we used to knit
'em, or use a string, ana if we wanted some
thing right handsome we'd get the selvidge oiT
the cloth when th boys got a pair of
made out o’store cloth. Now everybody must
have 'lastics. Twenty-five kind o' garters! An ,
of course, other things to match: This is what
Sarah Togy and N'ary Gansett Peer's doin'
for us.”
Then sho replaced her specs and went on with
her knitting.
A Very Foolish Act.
Fiffm the Washington Post.
A clean, shrew l-lonking gentleman stepped
into a street car ou Pennsylvania avenue yes
terday afternoon and to on a seat inside. The
conductor, who was ina conversational mood,
turned to a gentleman who stood upon the
platform and said:
4, \ ou saw that man who just got on?”
“Yes. “
‘ Well, I saw him do the foolest thing one day
last wiuter that any man ever did."
“What was it?”
“He got on my car and gave me a dime out
on the platf jrm. I handed him a nickel, aud in
trying to put it into his pocket he dropped it
and it roiled off into the slush. Ho made a
dive for it, and ii jumping oiT the car fell down
and dauoed himself all over. I stopped th
car, but ho said to go on; that he was going to
find his nickel. So he pawed around in the soft
snow till he found it, hopped aboard the next
car, paid the nickel t > that conductor, aud
reached home on-* car later and a good deal
madder and mussier than he would if he hau
stayed on my car and let his nickel go.”
Thinks git Helped Sullivan Win.
From the New York Sun.
Boston. July 15.—Prof. Tom Drohan, who
was one of the Sullivau party at the big fig t
last week, reached Boston to-day. and to-night
he is so hoarse he cannot speak above a whis
per. Everybody wants to know about tin;
fight, and he has talked until he is tired. He
presented th© Parnell Club flag to Sullivan and
had a hand in buying off the sheriff. He said it
took teu Sid bills to ease the sheriff's conscience.
He related one littie incident that has not had
much publicity.
‘ Sullivan.'’ said he, “Is a very religious fel
low. H© may not attend to his chu ch duties
regularly, but he is a god Catholic at heart.
Before I left home my old grand nother gave
me a small vial of holy water to throw on Sulli
van ash stepped to the scratch, I spoke t >
John about it, and he said:
“ ‘Sure; throw it on me as I step up. but don't
let the other fellows know about it. They might
1 hink that I am superstitious. It can't do mo
any harm, Tom; 09 the contrary, I teel that it
will do me good.’
“Well, just as he was stepping up to the
scratch I to -k t e cork out and let the content*
spill on Sullivan's back. Dan Mnrpliy and Mul
d >on got crazy in a moment. They wanted to
know what I was at, lioihg fearful that I was
doing something or other to injure John. I got
close to Murphy, and said:
“ ‘lt's all right, Dan; it's only holy water.’
“He whispered the information to Muldoon
and said: ‘We can’t lose now, Billy.’ ”
This Year’s Elections.
From the Albany Argus.
The current year is notably an "off year” in
general politics. Only eleven states elect stata
officers this year. Kentucky will hold aeon
eral election for state treasurer on Aug. 5. Elec
tions in ten other.states will take place on Nov.
5. On that day:
lowa will elect governor and lieutenant gov
ernor.
Marvland will elect comptroller and attorney
general.
Mr. .saehusettß will elect governor and state
officers.
Mississippi will elect governor and state offi
cers.
Nebraska will elect a supreme court judge
and two regents.
New Jersey will elect governor and state offi
cers.
New York will elect state officers except gov
ernor and lieutenant governor.
Ohio will elect governor and state officers.
Ee i.isyivauia win elect state treasurer.
Virginia will e.ect governur and state officers.
Political interest this year accordingly is cen
tered in the elections of the newly admitted
states. North Dakota. South Dak ta, Washing
ton and Montana, which are now framing their
constitutions and will elect full state govern
ments aiul legislatures vr.iieh will choose eignt
new United States senators. Each new state
will also elect a representative in congress, ex
cept South Dakota, wh.ch will elect two.
The terms of no United States senators ex
pire next year, so the election of members of
the legislature this year is of interest as bear
ing on n tional p dines only in cases where
members of the legislature chosen this year
hold office for two years. The Senate elected in
New York state will vote for a United States
senator in 1891 to succeed the Hon. William 31.

How Romulus White Was Deceived.
From the New York Sun.
“Human natur’ is powerfully deceptive, ain't
she?" queried 'he old man, after we had been
silent for some time.
"Sometimes.”
“kouoei -.lie is! I'm a-living in the village
of R—, forty miles down the road. I've got a
gal name t Moliie. She's about as dandy a
country gal as you'll find in the state. East
winter a stranger struck the town a id atones
fell in love with Moliie. 1 didn't like his looks
and I said to the gal:
“ ‘Moliie. beware of that chap, I kin read
him like a boos, and I tell you he hain't honest
nor honorable. I'll bet a wheat stack to a pump
kin that he's a sharper.’
“The gal differed with me, and about a month
ago tney were married"
"And how did the husband turn out?’’
' Mighty honorable sort of a man. I was
clean mistaken in him. They had been married
three days when along came a woman from
Dunkirk and claimed him and showed a certifi
cate. 1 expected he would deny her. but he
didn’t. Owned right up like a little man. She
was still there when a second oue came on from
Oswego Looked bilious for my new son-in
law, and I iooked to see him flunk, but ho didn't.
Jist acknowledged the corn and said he was
willing to do the fair thing."
"And how did it end?”
“They had him arrested for bigamy. They
wanted us to go agin him, too, but when I men
tioned it to him he said:
" Father, don't do it. Here's my watch and
$?0, and they are yours if you don’ t.' ”
“And you didn’t?”
"No. He was a tryin’ to do the squar’ thing,
and when a man tries to do the squar' thing bv
Komulus White, I can't go back on him. I gin
tee gal the money, and I kept the watch, and I
guess we couldn't have done better.”
Keep the tiums Healthy,
If you want a sweet mouth and b eath. If
the gums become spongy they lose their
power to hold the teeth. The use of SOXO

There are some queer instances of transliter
ation of names in the province of Quebec, A
suburb of the old city of Quebec was originally
named Shep'ierdville, after an English resident
of the name of Shepherd. Ttie French trans

soon corrupted into Beggarville. Hope Cape
was turned by the French into Cap ; d’Espoir,

Despair. Point of Cliffs first became Pointe

Salvatore Cantoni. the New York banker
who has just been knighted by the King of
Italy, is a self made man whose career has a
touch of romance in it. He was once, it is said
a humble courier in his home in Italy. Years
ago. before the Pacific railroads, when lien
Halliday, the originator of the transcontinental
pony express, was one of t’ue richest men iu the
country, Mr. Hafiiday's wife and family were
traveling in Europe. Young Cantoni was em
ployed as a courier by Mrs. Halliday, and
proved himself so intelligent and useiu’i, and
such an accom lished li iguist and gentleman
that Mrs. Halliday 'took a fancy to him and
offered to allow him to accompanv her to this
country an 1 give him an opportunity of better
ing lus fortun s. The young Italian was after
ward taken into the employ of Mr. Halliday ii
San Francisco as his private secretary. When
Italian immigration to this country became so
large, with the assistance of his patron Mr
Cantoni was established in New York in the
banking business. He has been remarkably
successful, and is said to have already acquired
a fortune of about $300,000.
Allahabad (India) papers tell of a search for
treasure believed to be buried in the Alford
park, in that town. It seems that some years
before the mutiny the then prime minister of
the King of Delhi resigned his appointment and
took his family and w rldly possessions to Alla
habad, wuore he built a large house and an
underground chamber to keep his jewels and
treasure. This latter is said to have included a
lake of gold mohurs, of the kind now valued at
28 rupees each. Sk rtly liefore the mutiny he
died, aud. during the disturbance, his lainily
tie 1, covermg up the chamber as best they
could. When order was restored a line of bar
racks was constructed n the site of the village
in which the ex-premi r's house was built, and
the existence of the underground cham
ber was f> rgotien bv all except some
relatives . who, on trying to reach it on
one occasion, were so stuu : by hornets that the
interforeuoe was ta ;en as a sign that it was
Hod s will that the treasure should be reserved
for a figure general ion. In courseof time the
barracks were also demolisned, and the present
park .aid out. U cently the existencAof Um
treasure was brought to the attention of Cant
