The republican organs are having a very bard time trying to make it appear that the public debt was not increased in July and August. When Mrs. Logan stepped upon Murat Halstead with both feet the other day the distinguished Cincinnati editor probably thought she was a C icago woman. It is now said that S.eve . rodie did not go over Niag ira Fa.ls in a rubber suit, or auy otner kind of suit, and the fact that Brodio is alive is pretty conclusive evidence that he didn’t. Assistant Postmaster General Clarkson has received an ovation from the republi cans of Das Moines. Air. Clarkson is tae man who cnops off the heads of democratic postmasters. The republicans like that sort of a man. Adored boy, named William Taylor, is under arrest iu Will ans iort, Pa., for hav ing stolen a locomotive. The “iron horse” was s.aadmg on a side-track, when the boy entered tue c b and opened *ho throttle. The engine staried, bu. a trainband who was near jumped aboard and stopped it. Augustus Allbrignt, of Piper City, 111., i s about to make a novel experiment—that of walking in the air. He claims to have an invention whicu, when attached to bis feet, will e able hi m to ascend or desce and, or go straight forward, as he ureters. It is thought that wuea he makes his experi ment he will descend. Ex-Senator Riddleborger has taken the Stump against Mthooe in Virginia, and he conies out squarely f.r the democratic ticket. He went so far as to declare for the democratic m nnnee for the legislature in the co juty ia which he spoke. Does this mean that Mr. Ruidl berger wa its to be come a member of the Democrat.o party? The native Georgian-, residing iu Chicago hel.i a meeting i.i t;.at city, the otner day, and issued an address to the people of Geor gia, setting forta Chicago's cliiuas to the world’s fir of IS 1 .12. It seems ni ire ap parent every day taat if New York gets the fair she wid nave to hustle at a very lively rate. Chicago is no mean compet itor. Sue is making a tremeud .us effort to capture tae p: ize. She seems to be doing mucu more iu t at direction than New York, but prooably the last nam and city will wake up after a while. The Boston Herald falls into the error of stating t.,at if the sentence against John L. Suliivau is executed, that worthy will be placed in the Mississippi penitentiary. It seems that even a Bosto iia id esu’t know everything. Mr. W. L. Doss, the keeper of toe Mississippi pe litentiary, said the other day: “Mr. J hn L. Suldvan was convicted of a misdemeanor and sentenced to the county jail for twelve mouths. A m sa meauor is not a penitentiary offense in tins state, hence Mr. Suliivau will not be placed in my cnarge, but will be sent to the Marion county jail.” Dr. H. H. Tucker, who died in Atlanta the other day-, was highly esteemed in Philadelphia. The Press savs: “Dr. Tucker was yveil known in Philadal *hia, his mother having ina riod for he second husband here, Dr. Hoff, an eminent pnystcia . of the early period aud a re.ative of Admiral Hoff, of the United States navy. The deceased’s grandfatner, Rev. Dr. Hilcoinb, was one of the fires pastors of the Fir t Biptist church at B oad and Arch street. On his father’s side he descended from the Tuckers of Virginia.” Everywhere Dr. Tucker was known he was regarded very nigiily. When the late Congress nan C jx returned to New York from his trip through the new states, h 0 was in excelled.. health. That was only a few weeks ag >. He said nat to au old man the trip would have been very faligui g, but to him it was doiig tful. Ho related wi.h keen enjoy nent how he had ridaen about Yellowstone Park on mule back and in a rough wagon, and how he- had climbed down in o the cauyous and out again, hauling Mr-. Cox afte him. He said it made hi u feel l.ke s schoolboy o i a vacation. The New York World says that Mr. Cox i..tended to be a candidate for PiMside.it in I#2. The Berner übstitute. The action of the House railroad commit tee in refusing to report fav rably either tbe Berner or the Ilorr s substitute f r ffco Olive bill, justifies the conclusion t at there will be no legislation by this legislature on the line of the Olive bill. There is no need f >r such legislation, and the legis.ature sees that there isn’t. The Olive bill and the substitutes for it were intended to prevent what was thought by some to be a great evil, but the more the alleged evil was considered, the more evident it became that it was imaginary rat. er than real. While it is not probable that there aro aiy members of the legisla ture who (inure to see the railroads of the state crippled, there is no doubt that the roads would nave been crippled had the Olive :41l or either of the substitutes for it bee hup a law. Indeed, the stale would have been seriously injured because railroad building would have been given a set-back from which it would not have recovered soon. The impression that there is in the legis lature a hostile feeling to railroads is prob ably erroneous. There is a feeling, how- teat the railroa is snould bo required odealfai.lv and jus.ly with the people, aud that alt the power of the state shou.il be ued to compel t iem to do so. It is not always an easy matter to determine which is the best way to remedy the grieva .ees which the peopie have against the railroads, and hence, legislation is sometimes propo ed which is neither timely nor wise. It isqu te safe to say that if the Olive bill, or any bill like it, had become a law, it would not have been a popular law, and ademaid for its repeal yvould soon have been made. Iu the meantime, how ever, in immense amount of injury to great interests woul 1 have bee i done. Ever since the railroad commission has been in existe .ee the people have been rely ing upon it to provide remedies for their grievances against the railroads, and they have had no cause to c miplain of it. Way not continue to rely upon it until it is shown that it canuot do what is req ired of it ? It la%vs are enacted to check every scheme which the railroads have for the adva cement of their imerests, it will not be long before the railroads will be so tied up ns not to he able to exercise any free dom whatever. W hen railroads adopt any policy, or take any steps, which threaten to injure the people, they ought to bo checked, but there ought to be the greatest care exercised iu cueckiug them, because the danger of mak i g a serious mistake is very great. They are the chief agents in the development of states, and therefore should be encourage 1 as long as they ai e disposed to do what ia right. Un ess they do something which calls for legislative action it is probable t .at there will be no more bills hostile to them introduced during this legislatura The Opening Wedge. Tho House has finally agreed to hear what tho claimants for compensation for betterments on the state road have to say in behalf of their <#um. The resolution which the House has adopted authorizes a committee to talk wito tue c.aimants, but does not give it authority to bind the leg islature in any respect. It in quite safe to say that this committee is an opening wedge that will produce some results for the claimants. Whether the results will be satisfactory to them or not is an* ther matter. Beforo the passage of this r solution the attitude of the House in dica ed that it believed that if it recognized the existence of a claim for compensation for betterments by the appointment fa commit;ee to report upon the am *unt * f the claim, or to m k i auy o her report with regard to it, a step would have bee i taken that would lead ultimately to tho payment of something for betterments. It will p obably turn out that this interpretation of the attitude of the House is about right. The appointment of a committee to confer with the betterment claimants will result, m 'St probably, in recog lizing their cla in. It will at least result in a long discussion. The whole bet terment question will be gone over again. It begins to look as if the discussion of the state road matter had only just fairlv begun. It has already occupied the g eater part of the time of toe House during the present session, and the Senate hasn’t given it much attention yet. It would bo inter esting to know exactly how much it has cost the state up to tho present tune. If a vote of the p-oile of the state could be token on the question, whet ier it would not be advisable to sell the road, it is prob able tha at least two-thirds of them wou and vote to soil it. Avery prominent railroad man, who knows all about tie state road, said a day or two ago ttiat he ha 1 no doubt that $12,000,000 could be obtained for it. Would nut a sale of it for that sum lie far preferab e to leasing it? With $13,00J,0 0 tbe state debt could be paid off and there would still re nain a large amount, which could be invested for the benefit of the school fund. Those members of the legis lature who favor soiling the road should miss no opportunity of urging their vie * s upon their brother members. About everyb *dy has heard Harrigau’s taking little song, “The Little Widow Dunn,” but not many who have beard it know that the original “Widow Dunn” lived in New York. She was not named Dunn, however, but Rooney—Annie Rooney. The other day she die i. “The charming little widow b> keeps a candy store”—the store being at 543 West Twenty-eighth street—was kindlv disposed, an 1 was quite a favorite with children. For twenty years she lived in a rear room of the store, and her peculiar stvle of dressing was familiar to many New Yorkers. Some days ago she was obliged, on Recount of failing health, to turn over her business to au assistant, aud to take her bed. She was born iu Ireland, and was 79 years old. It seems to be ce-tain that the young lady wtio committed suicide by plunging into Niagara rapids las week, was Mss Annie Meade, of Birmingham. Ala. Miss Meade was engaged to be married to Mr. A. H. Rogers, of Birmingham, who is now at the falls, searching for her body. He was told by spectators of the suicidal act that as the young lady was hurled down the st earn, sh • gesticulated wildly and laughed. She had probably lost her mi and.

A Man Who Will Be Missart. The death of Hon. S. 8. Cox is generally aid profoundly regretted. He was widely known, aud honored wherever known. *He was a sturdy dem icrat, a id ye: it is prob able that among his pers >ual friends there w-re as many republicans as democrats. He was kind a dgeierius, ad was ai wavs ready to say a pleas, .t word or do a kind deed. He bail a ready wit, but he did not use it to wound. He was ca.eful of the f ehngs of others. Hiscireer in tue House of representatives was a long one, aud a creditable one. He left his mark upon the legislation of the country. Upon the fl >or of the House he did excellent service, and in tne committee room his work was invaluable. He was not a great ma i, but he was a very able and useful one. He rendered the country much better service than some of the public men who made greater repu tatio is. He was an h mest and an honor able man. He left a clean record. Tnose wuo s *eak in honor of bis me nory have no occasion to avoid any part of his career. Had he been more soriou, in his speeches in congress and on tho stump.it s pr ibable that he would have roached higher political honors. is hu uor *us way of treating se rious matters created the impression ii the Winds of many that h was not ast Desman. He was a states nan, h >wever, a id one of a high rank. The m -asures which he advo cated, or which originated with him, and his speeches upo i public questions, ,how that he bad a very high order of intellect and a sound judgment. He was not always on thep ipular side of the issues beforo the country, but he was generally on tae right side. He was a busy man. Besides attending to his public duties he wrote quite a num ber of very readable books and contribute 1 a great many articles to the newspapers and inogazi..es. It was a vary uuu u i thing for him to waste time in gossiping with his fellow me übers of congress, or to go about the country on pleasure trips. lie spent a great part of the last su timer in the four territories that are s on to be come states. He ma le speeches there aid delivered lectures. Everywhere lie was warmly welcomed. He was gratified that he was popular in the far west. It is probable that he would now be nlive had he not slept In anew and uuoccupie 1 house, which he had just had built in Wash ton, a couple of weeks ago. He got malaria there which brought on an attack of a dis ease to which he was subject—peritonitis. He will be greatly missed. Wall itreet’s Napoleon. Ives, who not long ago was called In Wall street “the Na >ole in of ft ianoe, is now being tried in New York for .obtaining monoy by fraudulent means. The prospect is that he will spend a good many of the re maining years of his life in theponite diary. Ives’ career was a remarkable one. Id > is yet a very young man—not more th in 28 or 3U years of age. When ho was making the old financiers of Wall street tremble he was little more than a beardless boy. His career was a short one. He begin with nothing aud in less than two yens managed to fail for $20,000,OX). Ho *as proud of the fact tha he failed for such au immense sum. He con-idered that he had achieved wo dors, and ne had. He st rted as a clerk on a very small salary, and beforo ether clerks who stated at tne sune time with him, and under similar cir cum-t mces, had mus erod up sufficient c urage to a k for an increase in their s&la ria , he was one of Wall s reefs mag la es. The story of his rise aid fall has been often publi bed. It shows w lat an unscru pulous fellow with plenty of nerve cua do in Wad street. Iu comparison wi h' Ives’ operatlo s. those of Ferdinand W ird are rather insignificant. There is not much and übt, however, that his career will end as Ward’s did —behind the bars of a pr.sou. A Detroit cirl, na ned Emma Thiede, married Charles Halz, of Chic .go, three years ago. She was then 15 years old. Halz returned to Chicago, and the mar riage was kept secret until a fe v days ago, a dit would probably ave been unknown to the public a year or two longer if a Detroit young man had not taken a fancy to Emma. He was assiduous in his atten tions, and Etmna’s mother wanted her to marry him. To relieve herself of the mat ter. Emma telegraphed her husba id to come at once, and when he arrived, his wife, her mother, aid the yo mg mai were in the parlor. Halz calmly convey and the information that the girl was his wife, not, however, before he had astonished Mrs. Thie le aud the young man bv imprinting a rebounding kiss -upon his wife’s blushing cheek. Then, to m ike out his case, he pro du 'e l the marr age certificate. During the confusion which follow id, the young man made hi wav u lobservod in o the street-. Halz conc u led that he had better take his wife t Chicago. Recently the New York Press addressed a circular to the members of co igress, ask ing them whether they were in favor of retaining the present congressional appor tionment, uude the nex ce isus, o- of in creasing the population of the congressional districts, thereby preventing an increase of the number of congressmen. Uuder the present apportionme it thee is one repre sentative to every 151.000 population. Seventy-five congressmen answe ed the circular, and of them forty-five favored increasing the population of districts, fifteen favored an increase in the number of congressmen, seven thought the pre e t number too large, and eight said they ad n*t studied the subject. Ex-Speaker Carlisle wrote: “I am not in favor of re taining t ie present apportionment ad in cre sing the nu nVier of congress nen, but of making a netv apportionment and in creasi g the population of each congress ional district.” The Earl of Durham was arrested in Fargo, Dak., the other diy. That is, the man wh > said he was t e Earl of Durham wa arrested. Ho had peon cutting quoe a dash iu Fargo. He went there some time ago with forged letters of int oductiou from Cornelius Vanderbilt, bu . some of his little ecctmtricitieii, such as the f rging of drafts, brought about his arres , whou it was dis covered that he was a former clerk in a London dry goods store. ProbibL if he hadn’t been arras ed he would have be stowed a bogus title upon so ae fair Dako tan. The Third Massachusetts district was for merly represented oy Joan AI rrisey, pugi list, and the Fourth by Gen. Patrick Col lins. John L. SuU.van lives in the Third district, but that is a j-eputilicau district, and John L. is afraid he couldn't carry it, so he will move into tho Fourth, where a dem cratic tiorainotion is equivalent to election.

He never appears anywhere without several persons with him. It is a relief to know this We had supnosed heretofore that mil ion aires V ere ge ..-rally shunned, that few were wi ling to be seen going around with them, owing to the opprobrium that attaches to wealth. We have imagined Gould a solitary man, and that men dodged around the corner when they saw him coining, not for any objection they might have to him pn-sona ly, out because thev wished to show their disapproval of great riches n\ e don't know by experience how a person of great riches feels, but we have sympathized with Mr. Gould in his supposed isolation, we have felt like writing to assure him that we cherished no antipathy to him on account of his money, and tiiat we would speak to him when we met him just as quick as though he hadu’t a cent. If he chanced to me t us on Wall street lie needn't hesitat to stop and talk withus.no matter who was Stan ling around. We wouldn't hurry on or pretend not to know him. A man with millions of moo y is just as good as anybody else, provided he behaves himself. That's our doctrine. But since we are assured that folks do go around witn Gould without appearing to be Ashamed of it we feel easier, and shall not press our comp iny on him. But anytime t.iai you f**el yourself shunned, Jay. j si send for us. We are even ready to go into company with you, If you will furnish the capital.

"Do you suppose I’ll stand that?" she ex c’aimed, elevating her voice until the echoes peeled slivers off the rafters. "Do you think you c m pass that trunk over to me wduout paying damages?” "No. um." “You've got hold of the wrong woman if you think you can! I want damages—damages, sir! Do you hear?" “I do, mum." “I put my damages at sls. That is for the trunk alone. The damaee to my feelings I put at SIOO. I ought to say S'ioO, but I'll let it go at SIOO. Who shall I see?"

"Yes, mum.” “And if he tries to dodge me I’ll sue for sl,oyo and have my husbani come oil here and lick the whole caravan!

A curious case of rabis has just been noticed in a middle-aged man in Paris who was under medical treatment about six months ago. He is a baker, and he was supposed to have bee cured, but o, late h ■ had ' b come id-humo/ed and sullen. He was given to biting the baskets n whicn the bread uas conve ed to th custom ers, and on several occasions he displayed an in clination to iry conclusions with his master’s dog. The other day the poor fellow attracted a crowd about him ia the streets by his strange behavior. He ur. ied along the pavement wit h queer gesticulations, barking like a memuer of tue canine species, i Tightening some of the peo ple whom h met. and exciti ig t,e ridicme of others. The police, suspecting that something was radically wrong, took Him off to the station and he had scarcely arrived there when he wus seized with a sort of fit. tie implored the by standers to leave hi n to bimse.f, as he feareu that he might hurt t lem, and it was arranged promptly that he should be removed to the nea est uospital.
