States Senate, to succeed Senator Evarts. If his crip upon the Republican party of New York continues as strong as it is now, he will get there. Then who is going to boss the Senate. Quay or Platt 1 Gen. Alger is going to visit Arkansas asst month, and big preparations are being made by grand army republicans to receivo him. The general has some land iu Arkan sas, and he says he is going there to look at it. He will probably build a few fences. A New York man named Edward Eaufer, who is said to be worth $50,000, shot at his ■wife the other day, and when arraigned in court he said the woman belonged to him, end he had the right to do witn her as he as isbed. Tbe court can be depended upon to disabuse his mind of that notion. Republican newspapers which declare that Speaker Reed's recent outrageous rulings •we re sensible and right should have their attention called to one thing, viz.: That they’ never did insist or even hint that Mr. Carlisle, as speaker, should make such rulin.gs. If he had done so they would have exhausted the vocabulary In denouuclng lam. _ Mr. Blaine should come to the rescue of the Republican party. In the closing days of the Forty-third congress he declared that a ruling by a republican speaker such as Mr. Reed made the other day would place the party “ou tbe very brink of a volcano.” Unfortunately for that party, however, Mr. lieed has not much respect for Mr. Blaine’s opinions, and he would hardly listen to advice from that source. Mrs. Amelia B. Edwards, who came to this country from England on a lecturing tour, has expressed to a woman’s sulTrage convention in Boston her surprise that the women of America are not allowed to vote in as many elections as those of England. Perhaps if Mrs. Edwards remains here long enough, she Will discover that one reason for this is that a big majority of our wo men don’t want to vote. Three years ago some boys in Elizabeth, N. J., were using a bundle of rags as a foot ball. The rags became separated, and SI,OOO in greenbacks was exposed to view. The money was turned over to a detective, but he failed to discover the owner of it, and the other day one of the boys brought suit against him for it. The judge decided that the other four boys .must join with him in the suit before the issue could ( be settled. Six months ago antimony could be bought in New York for 9jj cents a pound. To day it is hard to get at 31 cents. The chief cause of this lemarkable advance is that the Russian. French, German and English governments are using it very lurgelv in the manufacture of smokeless powder, tho demand thus being made much greater than the supply, fetereotvpo metal contains 20 per cent, of antimony, and consequently there has been an advance iu the price of that metal. It seems useless to call tho attention of President Harrison to the fact that United States Judge Swavne and United ISiates Marshal Maxell have been shown to be guilty of acts that should cause their im mediate removal from office. If these men were democrats, and if Grover Cleveland were President, they would have been re moved without a moment’s hesitation. It was not the policy of the Cleveland admin istration to overlook wrong doing by office holders. Carlisle** Statement. The statement p *re>l by Mr. Carlisle, and signed by all the democratic members of the House, giving the reason* of the democratic n in rity for the course which it pursued in the parliamentary struggle last week, places cloiriy before tne public the character of th > usurpation of which Speaker Keed is guilty. Speaker Kee.l may make a counter statement, but it is cer tain that nothing he can say will justify his unprecedented and unconstitutional rulings. Mr. <’arlisle says that every presiding < Sicer in the Senate a;.d every speaker of the House, except tb> present one, has held that when less than a quorum voted on a call of the yeas and nays, no matter how many might be actually present, it was his duty to take notice of tne fa"t. and declare that the pending bill or motion halnot passed. Speaker lloed attempted the other day to create the impression that he had, in effect, (loae no more than Mr. Carlisle had done many times when speaker. He stated that Mr. Car lisle had frequently declared that bills and motions had passed, when it was clearly apparent that there was not a quorum voting. Speaker K"ed knew, of course, that this statement of his was uiis l adiug; but ho was willing to play the part of a demagogue if, by that means, he could relieve himself in the minds cf the unthinking of tho odium which he had brought upon himself. It is true that bills and motions have befell declared frequently to iiave passed although it wus known that a quorum did not vote upon them, hut no bills or motions have ever been declared to have passed when the yeas and nays were taken unless a quorum voted. Speaker He si ignored the fact in his ruling t::at the yea nud nay vote failed to show a quorum. Tho rule that he disregarded, an l that lias been respected in both houses of congress for half a century and more, was made for the protection of the minority. It is a safe rule, and enables the minority to obstruct partisan and nasty legislation. It forces the major ity, when the majority projioses to do par tisan work, to do it by means of its own votes. Since this congress assembled it has been apparent that Speaker Reed had no inten tion of permitting rules for the government of the House to be adopted until he had so increased the republican majority by seating republican contestants that he cvuld be at all times certain of a quorum. He is chair man of the committee on rules, and he has never called the committee together. No other evidence is needed that he intended that the House should be without rules until his object was gained. Mr. Carlisle calls attention to the ovident purpose of the republican majority to seat the republican c mtestants whether the contestants are entitled to seats or not. So great an outrage as that juitilies the con clusion that the Republican party is pre pared to go to any length to keep itself iu power. The Supreme Court Centennial. The celebratiou iu New York yesterday of the 100th anniversary of the first meeting of the United States supreme court was a notable one. Many of the most distin guished lawyers of the country were present. The addresses were of a high order of merit, and contained much his torical matter of value. The work which the supreme court has done in its century of existence is a great one. It has always been distinguished for its ability and purity, and has always had the confidence of the people. The decisions it has rendered on constitutional questions have had a far-reaching effect, and have uone more than anything else to strengthen tbe republic. With an able, pure, patriotic, and non-partisan supreme court, the liber ties of the people are reasonably safe. Mrs. Murray, of New York, was tired of widowhood, and yet no marriageable young man came to her rescue. The old bachelors and the widowers fought say of her, but she put an end to her widowhood, nevertheless. She agreed to give Winfield Scott Shaw $14,000 if he would marry her, and Winfield Scott fell into her arms and told her that he was her's and her’s only. The marriage took place, and soon Mrs. Winfield Scott Shaw wanted her money back. She brought suit for it, and the case is now being tried. If it should be decided that tbe money must bo returned to her, it will be useless iu future for wealthy but un pleasant widows to bid for marriageable young men. Governors of different states have told the New York World what they thought of Speaker Reed’s recent conduct. Gov. Gor don says; “I think it evidences a purpose to unseat democrats nt any hazard u .til tho republicans have a safe working majority, after which arbitrary and lawless pro cedure will give place, doubtless, to a more orderly course under tho rules in enforcing partisan measures. Such action is ex tremely mischievous. It lessens public con fidence iu law-makers, diminishes the feel ing of security and encourages lawlessness. ’’ The governor is right. As Congressman Lester remarked, the republicans are run ning things with a high band. A few days ago the body of Michael Finn, of Oneida county. New York, was disin terred and a post mortem examination was hold. Finn died five years ago. The reason of this extraordinary proceeding was that Mrs. Finn could in no other way prove her claim to a pension. It appears that Finn was shot iu the neck during tho war. The ball was not removed during his life, and it was thought to have been the indirect cause of his death. Tbe examina tion furnished evidence which was deemed sufficient to secure a pension for the widow. Senator Ingalls has received hundreds of letters about his recent speech on the race problem. Some of them praise the speech Very highly, and speak cf the senator as a statesman, and others are uncomplimentary and even denunciatory. One received from Georgia was of this character, and Senator Ingalls has caused its publication iu the re publican press. It refers to the senator as a fool. Ingalls isn’t a fool, by any means, but it is certainly a fact that his aims are not those of a statesman. i Stimuel Lewis, of a New York village, who died a few days ago, was a peculiar man. He hated all physicians and women, and for the last thirty-four years none had been allowed to enter his house. He lived to be nearly 90 years old, but if he didn’t call in a physician, he no doubt took medi cine which would have been prescribed by one. Georgia and Tennessee are hard to beat in many respects. Georgia has the youngest boy preacher in the country aud Tennessee boasts of a girl baby three months old who can talk. TIIE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 1800. The Cause of Racs Troubles Senator Colquitt addrtwsed a meeting of the American Temperance Union at the Union Tabr.au e church. New York, on Sunday, and, in the course of his remarks, speaking of race troubles iu the tjuth, said; “They tell us of tne bitterness and ani ino-ity that the whites have for the blacks. I have a remedy to propose. Shut the dramshops in ail sections of the s.utb, at every cross road and in every town and hamlet where whites and negroes inter mingle iu the same community. ami I will pledge you that where you hear of ten cases of bloodshed now you will not hear < t one. It is a liquor couflio:, not a race issue.” There is a good deal of truth iu what Senator Colquitt says. Although the race question is altogether different from the liquor question, there is no doubt that if it were not for whisky and other intoxicants coi diets letwoen the whites and blacks would seldom occur. Asa general thing a drunken white or black man does some thing to bring about these conflicts. It not nnfrequently hapi ns that black men re sist arrest, and they are sustained in doirg ro by their black neighbors and friends. In such instances it is nearly always the rase that the blacks are more or less under the influence of intoxicating liquor. * Sometimes white men assault black men for fancied affronts, hut they seldom do so unless they are drunk. If the cause of tho fatal afflux's, participated in by both w hilts and blacks, which occur in the south during a single year, could be accurately ascertained it would undoubtedly appear that the great majority of them wore di rectly duo to iutoxicating beveragos. The abolishing of tho dram-shops would not, Of course, settle the race problem, but it would x - cry nearly put an eu ito those crimes of violence which are noxv attributed to race prejudice. In those counties in this state which have prohibited the selling of intoxicating liquors within their limits con tiicis between white and black men are of very rare occurrence. The races got along together very well. Neither tho whites nor the blacks are aggressive, and botli are more prosperous than they arc in counties m who h whisky is easily obtained. Senator Colquitt, instead of delivering tompernnee speeches in the north, might render his own state excellent service by advocating prohibition iu each of its coun ties. Ily so doing he would assist in strengthening a reform that has already done a vast amount of good, and xvhich is certain to do a great deal more. Were Stewart’s R mains Recovered? It is intimated that one result of tho set tlement of the Stewart will case xvill be the ro-opeiiing of negotiations for tho re turn of A. T. Stewart’s remains, xvhich were stolen some years age. The story has been circulated that one dark night a few months after tho robbery, the Stewart heirs, or oue of them, or a representative of them, met a person in an all >y-in New York, received from him a bag containing Mr. Stewart’s bones, and paid him $115,000. The bones, it has been stated, were subsequently placed in the crypt in the Garden City cathedral. Most people have accepted this story, and it seems that Judge Hilton desired the public to accept it. It is now, however, pronounced to be without foundation by the New York correspondent of the Phila delphia Press, xvho says that the remains of Mr. Stewart are concealed in a trunk or box within an hour's ride of Chicago. His story is that whan the remains were stolen, they were taken to Gloucester, N. J They were traced there by detectives, but before they could be recovered one of the robbers, forgetful of that honor which is sud to exist among thievo, stole them from tho other ghouls, and took them to another place in New Jersey. They were finally buried iu Paterson, N. J., and negotiations looking to their return for a ransom of $2-5,000 were opened xvith Judge Hilton, but the thieves refused to submit them for identification, and tho negotiations were droppoil for awhile. It is stated that the remains were then taken to a place near Chicago where, according to the correspond ent, they now a e; and that Mrs. Johnson, who was housekeeper of the Stewart hotels, xvas sent to Chicago to make terms for their delix’ery, but the thieves suspected that Judge Hilton was more intent upon pun ishing tho grave-robbers than upon securing tne remains, and they xvore frightened off. laspector Byrnes refused to h ive anything more to do xvith the matter, because Judge Hilton had acted independently; and in the meantime the statute of limitations pre vailed to protect the thieves. This is a very plausible story, but it will hardly find very many believers. If Mr. Stewart’s remains had not been recovered, it seems that Judge Hilton would have con tinued his efforts to recover them. He may have been imposed upon, and the ashe3 which are deposited in the splendid mauso leum at Garden City cathedral may be those of someone else. At any rate, the revival of the subject will set people to talking. Tho Chicago Xrws recently put this ques tion to Chief Justice Fuller and the asso ciate justices: “Is it the proper thing for judges to receive and use railroad passes?” J ustice Lamar said that he never accepted presents of any kind, and that, in his opin ion, no man holding a judicial position should do so. Then a merry expression came into his eyes, and he told this joke on himsolf: “Down in the locality I call my borne livos old John Billiard. Some years ago John presented me with a very fine Alderney co v. I said: ‘John, I never re cieve presents.’ Well,’ he replied, ‘Lamar, just give me your note, and, as you will never pay it anyway, yon will bo nothing out and a cow ahead.’” It is not to bo in ferred, however, that the justice gives his note for railroad passes. The Philadelphia Press reports that the next census will show a big increase m tho colored population of that city. It says: “The colored people are emigrating from the south, hut they are not going to Liberia as Senators Butler and Morgan do-ire. They are drifting to the north, and many of them nre settling iu this city.” It thinks that iu the last ten years the city’s colored population lias increased from 81,690 to about 50,000. If any considerable part of tho increase was due to emigration from the south, and if this emigration continues, there is a very good prospect that after awhile the republican press of Philadelphia will contain some sensible articles ou the race problem. A Galveston dispatch states that a syndi cate of northern capitalists has bought 3,000 lots in that city, all in a body, and that the lots will tie improved, and sold to actual residents on easy terms. The syndi cate asserts that in this wav it will increase Galveston’s population by 25,000 in two years; and if it doesn’t make a big a pile of money, it will be greatly disappointed. CURRENT COMMENT. Buftiness that Should ho Stopped. From the ' >c YorJ: Herald ( In i.). Mr. Rf tl pretends that if th<? republicans wei>- required to maim&in a quorum, that would pit a stop to all business in the House. Hut he knows, a* everybody kiows, that the funeral businMM of the lioii.se would go on without delay under all circa instance. It is only the i. erely partisan business, that which is ofle*<t use to the country, which would be stopped until the republicans had a quorum—m it ought to be. A Tribute to Rlddleber^or. From th< XorfoOc Virginian t/Vw.) The .1 ;th of e\ Senator Riddleberger has brought forth many tender expressions of re gret and sympathy from the press of Virginia, and of the co ntry, irrespective of party aiYiua tions. He had his faults, but they were those which affected himself more than they ever did others. He was strictly honest, and this was conspicuously demonstrated during ihe period of his senatorial service, when, had he been so could have enriched himself. He lef the Senate, however, poorer than when he entered its portals. Republican Tactics in West Virginia. From the New York Star ( Dem .). The republican contest f r the control of 'A est \ irginia has ended as it begam-in corrup tion. Mr. GorT's friends iin|K)rted hundreds of negroes into the state j >t before the election, and their ballots were aii e.i-t illegally for the republican candidate. Hut in spite of success ful colonization and repeating, he did not re ceive u majority of the votes cast. Then an at /erupt was made to steal the state, but it was Imstra ed by the vigilance of the democrats, and the bribery in tue legislature, which has just been exposed, w as resorted to. BRIGHT HiTo.

JudaT© Cooley and the Ticket Scalper. From the Minneapolis Tribune. A railroad ticket agent yesterday, in com menting upon the indiscriminate cutting by brokers, told this: ‘ Judge Cooley lias a way of rounding tin the scalpers that puts a stop to their operations in short order. He does not "ait for the raiLoatis to bring in evidence against them, but just goes on a still hunt by himself, and generally goes home with his hag full. Tno last time lie was in Chicag > he dropped in sort of incidentally upon one of the most obnoxious of the brotherhoodund brought him into camp in a manner which gave the other scalpers cold feta tor a month. “What can 1 get a ticket to New York for?" said he, leaning confidentially over the counter and tipping a wink to the man behind. ‘‘Seventeen,*' replied the broker briskly. “Can’t you do any better than that?" re sponded Judge Cooley persuasively. Well, the broker thought that he could, and finally ar ranged to give the judge four tickets way uown below tn** legal rate. * Well, bring tnem around to my room at the Grand Pacific to-night," said the judge, *‘l haven't the full amount with me." So at the appointed hour the broker appeared at the rooms of the judge. The judgo received him kindly. ’’Hold up your right hand,*' said he casually. The broker did so with some amuse ment. “Now," continued the judge, “do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth aud noth.ng but the truth?" “I'll he if Ido anything of the kind,*’ said the broker, as his expression changed io blank amazement, and his hand dropped like a shot* “O. 1 guess you will," returned Judge Cooley with a careless drawl; "here’s my friend, the United States inarsnal, sitting by my side, and von w.ll be given over to his custody if you don't. So, now, sit down in that chair and tell Judge Cooley, of the interstate commission, all about those tickets you offered to sell him below the legal rate this afternoon. I want to know exactly how much each road got for them and your commission."

A Missouri faujier with a turn for statistics has furnished a communication to his county paper on the subject of official salaries, in which he states that au official who receives S t,OOO per ye jr salary absorbs the price of 20.(560 bushels of corn at 15 cents per bushel, or 6,663 bushels of wheat at 00 cents per bushel, or 33,333 bushels of oats at 12 cents, or the price of 50 good farm horses.

This is surrounded by another layer of strong cotton twine, braided in heavy strands, which is about a quarter of an inch thick. The rope Is very sort and pliable, and even after being tied in a small knot will return to its original shape. It can be used in life lines, on life rafts, and as a heaving line to tie heavy hawsers to. At a life saving station such a rope would be very valua ble.
