Col. Livingston, it seems, hasn't his eyes
on tho speaker's chair of the next congress.
The imaginative correspondents seem de‘
termined to have the colonel’s eyes about
everywhere except where they ought to be.
The President has gone to Crosson, Pa.,
to remain until Oct. 1. He can be spared
from Washington very well. Even his own
party does not seem to think his presence
there continuously is demanded, or would
be of any benefit to the country.
The eyes of the whole state are now di
rected toward the Seventh congressional
district. It is evident that a lively political
battle is going to be fought there. Hostili
ties will begin probably just as soon as the
commander of the regulars is chosen.
Is there going to be a deadlock in the con
vention of this senatorial district which
meets at Guyton to-inorrowf It is to be
hoped not. Bryan ought to be ready with
her mau hen the convention assembles,
so tho nomination could be made without
delay.
The crop report which Commissioner
Henderson of this state has just sent out is
not a very encouraging one so far as cotton
is concerned. But it is, perhaps, well to
remember that at this season of the year the
cotton crop reports generally have a rather
gloomy tone.
Since Representative Kennedy’s attack
upon Senator Quay and other senators, sen
atorial dignity has had a rather wilted ap
pearance. Indeed ever since the republi
cans have had control of the Senate respect
for senatorial dignity appears to have been
on the decline.
Mr. Croker, the Tammany chief, is on his
way home from Europe, but it is not proba
ble that anything more will be heard at
present about the scandal of which Brother
in-law McCann was the author. Tammany
has important work on hand just now. It is
the election of a mayor.
The scandals of this administration have
been rather numerous. Fuck, in its last
issue, presents a num or of them so loreihlv
that the whole country can hardly fail to
be impressed by tbe number and importance
of them. Asa breeder of scandals it is so
far ahead of the Cleveland administration
that there uno comparison between them.
The Breckinridge Case.
The republicans of the present House
have dene many things which are indefensi
ble from any standpoint, but of all their
partisan, illegal aid outrageous acts, no one
is more inexcusable than the unseat ing of
Clifton R. Bi eckiuridge, of Arkansas. 1 hey
had made up their minds to unseat him,
however, I efore any evidence was taken in
his case. The result would not have differ
ent, therefore, even if he had been able to
show beyond the shadow of a doubt that
be was just as much entitled to a seqt in the
House as any one of the r publican leaders.
His seat was not contested. There was no
ono to contest it. John M. Clayton was
tho republican candidate against Mr. Breck
inridge, and be was assassinated shortly
after the election while engaged inhuntiug
up testimony upon wmch to support a con
test of which ho had given notic.
The republicans held Mr. Breckinridge
responsible for Mr. Clayton’s death. They
did not dare to assert that he was responsi
ble for it, because they had no evidence
upon which to base an assertion of that
kind, but they did what they could to fasten
that crime upon him by turning him out of
the House.
Tbev did not care how great an injnry
they did him if they could by any act of
thoir’s make a point for tbeir party. They
purpose in the congressional campaigns*
this fall to declare that men are
murdered in tho south for tbeir political
opinions, and that in the southern states
there is not a free ballot and a fair count.
They wanted to point Mr. Breckinridge's
district as evidence of the truth of this
declaration, and they could not do that as
long as he was permitted to remain in the
House. They therefore unseated him, and
they did it without evidence sufficient to
justify them in doing so.
Mr. Breckinridge declared on the floor of
the House that Mr. Clayton and he were
friends, and thero is no reason to doubt that
they were. Mr. Breckinridge regretted Mr.
Clayton’s death as much as it was possible
for any one to regret it, and had it been iu
his power he would have prevented Mr.
Clayton’s assassination. Tbe republicans,
however, protended to believe that had Mr.
Clayton lived be would have been able to
show that ho was elected, and they tried in
every way, but unsuccessfully, to show that
Mr. Breckinridge had reason to think that
Mr. Clayton was elected. They openly said
that Mr. Breckinridge ought to have resign
ed os soon as Mr. Clayton was assassinated,
though they were never able to give any
satisfactory reason for that opinion.
Asa matter of fact, the election in which
Mr. Breckinridge and Mr. Clayton were
candidates was a fair one. and Mr. Breckin
ridge was elected by a few hundred major
ity. The ballot-box of one district—that
of Plummerville was stolen. Nobody
knows how many ballots it contained, nor
whether tbe majority of them were for Mr.
Breckinridge or Mr. Clayton. Of course,
the republicans asserted that a majority of
the ballots in tho stolen box were for Mr.
Clayton, though they had no evidance that
such was the case. On the as-umptlon that
they were, they unseated Mr. Breckinridge.
Was there ever a greater outrage on the
ballot i
The time may come when this Breckin
ridge-Clayton case will be used as a prece
dent against the republicans. If one party
turns members out of the House on a mere
assumption of wrong-doing, tbe other party
will not hesitate to do the samo thing when
there is a political advantage to be gained.
As for Mr. Breckinridge, he will be re
elected. The people of his district will send
him back tp the House by au increased ma
jority.
Gordon Popular Wltb Alliancemen.
While it is understood that some of the
alliance leaders are opposed to Gov. Gordon
for the Seuate, it is worthy of notice that
alliaucemen iu different parts of tbe state
are passing resolutions favoring him. Thore
is no doubt that he is popular with alliance
men, and it is doubtful if the alliance load
ers oould induce all alliauoe members of the
legislature to vote against him, if they
should attempt to do so. But it is far from
certain that they will undertake to array
the alliance against him, not only because
of the doubt about such an undertaking
being successful, but also, because they
have no strong reasons fordoing so.
Gov. Gordon is in harmony with the alli
ance in about everything except tbe sub
treasury bill, and tbe alliauoe as divided on
that. In Texas and Missouri thero is very
strong opposition to it among alliancemen,
and even in this state many of the alliance
men who have given it carotul consideration
are satisfied that it is Impracticable. They
know also that, with tho alliances of only
two or three states favoring it, there isu’t
a ghost of a chance that it will over become
a law. Why, therefore, should the alliance
object to Gov. Gordon for refusing to favor
something that is not only impracticable,
but which tbe alliance itself, iu some of the
states, admits to be impracticable. Under
the circumstances it is not Btrauge that
alliancemen quite generally favor Gov.
Gordon for the Senate.
Lord Saekville is into more trouble—this
time with the English authorities. As lord
of tbe manor of Stratford-on-A vo:i be wants
to compel the town council to return him
ront for allowing the clock and tower given
by George W. Childs, of Philadelphia, to
stand on tho market square. The council
refuses to pay rent, claiming that Sack
ville's manorial rights do not extend over
the middle of the square. Saekville charges
that the clock's occupation of tho square is
an encroachment, and his agents are in
structed to levy the rent. At a county
meeting hold last week several speakers de
nounced “old Sack’s” conduct, and said that
the square had not been used as a public
market in 600 years. The lord of the manor
will have to be called in again.
Representative Kennedy, whose attack on
Senator Quay is the talk by the whole coun
try, is said to be such a brave man that he
is called “Fighting Joe Kennedy.” It is
said, however, that his courage has forsaken
him since bis attack on Senator Quay, and
he permitted himself to be bulldozed into
withholding the speech containing the at
tack from tne Congressional Record.
Acting Speaker Burrows has much more
respect for precedents than Speaker Read
has. He has so much respect for them that
he permitted R preseutative Kennedy to
commit such a breach of congressional
courtesy that hisfellow republican members
of congress are wondering if his big voice
is not all there is to him that is deserving of
respect.
No man in this country possesses the
ability to remain quiet under extraordinary
provocation that Senator Quay does. He
has ability of one kind at least—the ability
to keep hi* mouth shut. In that respect he
differs greatly from Representative Cannon,
whose mouth promises to be the ruin of
him. And it it not a clean mouth, either.
THE MORNING NEfl S: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1890-TWELVE PAGES.
The Killing of Gen Barrundia.
The impression in Washington is that tbe
state department is not wholly satisfied
with the course which it is understood
United States minister to Gautetnala, Mr.
Lansing B. Mizner, pursued in tbe matter
wuich led to tbe killing of Geo. Martin
Barrundia on the American North Pacific
mail steamship Acapulco, in tbe Gautemalan
harbor of San Joee, and it is not improb
able that be will be recalled. He may have
acted in accordance with what he believed
to be the law, but it is asserted that he is
largely influauce i in all he does by Gen.
Barillas, the president of Gautemala.
The facts in br.ef are that Gen. Barrundia,
knowing that President Barillas was at war
with San Salvador, and b lieviog that he
was having a great deal of trouble, con
cluded to go to Gautemala with the view of
sarring up strife against him, he and Baril
las being enemies. He took passage on
the Pacific mail steamer Acapulco,
with the intention of not lauding
when he reached the Gautemalan
port if he should not think it safe to do
so. He thought that he would not bo mo
lested as long as be remained on board a
vessel flying the American flag. On the
arrival of the steamer at Saa Jose, Presi
dent Bari illa',knowing that Gen. Barrundia
was on board, demanded his surrender. The
captain of the steamer advised with Minis
ter Mizner, and was advised by that official
that the Guatemalan government had a
right to take Gen. Barrundia from the
steamer, and to kill him if he resisted. With
such advice the captain of the steamer
made no effort to protect Gen. Barrundia,
who resisted the attempt of the Guatemalan
authorities to arrest him, and was shot to
death.
Those who are well Informed in interna
tional law say that Minister Mizner had no
authority to give the advice to the steam
ship captain that, it is alleged, he did, and
that he had no right to meddle in the matter
at all, except by direct instructions from
the state department. Senatjr Call has a
resdution pending in the Senate with re
spect to the matter, and all the facts
bearing upon it, from official sources,
will be made known scon, probably. If Min
ister Mizner permitted himself to be influ
enced by his friendship for President Barrll
las into doing something he ought not to
have done, be can not be recalled too soon,
and if tbe Gautemalan government bad no
right to arrest Geu. Barrundia the President
suouid take steps at once toward holding
the Gautemalan government responsible
for its failure to respect the American flag.
Train Wreckers.
No punishment would be too great for
those who were instrumental in wrecking a
train of eight sleeping cars on the New
York Central railroad on Friduy. The train
wreckers placed an obstruction on the track
for the purpose, it is believed, of wreck ing a
freight train, not knowing anything about
this train of sleepers, it being tbe second
section of the regular train. There came
near being a terrible accident and a great
loss of life. As it was, quite a number of
peoj le were injured, but fortunately none
of them seriously.
Nobody knows who the train wreckers
are, but if it be possible to find them they
will be found. A number of attempts have
been made tp wreck trains on the New York
Central since the strike on that road was
inaugurated, several of which came very
near causing a great loss of life. It cannot
be said that any of tbe strikers are the
guilty parties, because there is no evidence
to justify such a charge against
them, and it would be unjust to
hold them responsible for so
great a crime simply because they are at
war with tho corporation on whose road
tho wrecking was done. It will be ad
mitted, however, that it is strange that the
efforts to wreck trains have been made only
since it became evident that the strike
would fail.
But even if the wreckers are strikers it
would be unfair to assume that all the
strikers approve of train-wrecking. A man
who would attempt to wreck a train is
no better . than a murderer, because
he knows that the chances are
that someone will be killed in the wreck.
If those who wrecked tbe train on the New
York Central are caught they should be
dealt with as severely as the law will
permit. To grant mercy to such criminals
would be to encourage train wrecking. It
is bad onough for those who have grievances,
or who think they have grievances, to
attack with murderous intent those who are
responsible for the wrongs of which they
cotnplaiD, but when they attempt recklessly
to consign innocent people, men, women
and children, to a horrible death they cease
to be human beings—they are simply devils
in human shapo, and should be dealt with
as such.
United States senators may be ball play
ers as well as anything else. It is said that
a great many of them have some time or
other belonged to amateur teams. If any
of them except Senator Arthur P. Gorman
of Maryland ever belonged to a professional
team they decline to make it known. Sen
ator Gorman, though, is not ashamed to ad
mit that in the closing days of the sixties he
guarded left field for the old Nationals and
played first base. In fact, he says, he was
general utility man and played in almost
every position from pitcher to right field.
There’s DOthing small about playing ball.
It may be the stepping stones to greatness
as well as plowing with a mule, or pegging
shoes.
It is alleged in specials from Atlanta that
Gov. Gordon has offended some of the al
liance leaders by appointing about 100 dele
gates from different parts of the state to the
Sept. 10 convention at Atlanta, to consider
the advisability of establishing direct trade
between ports of the south, and Liverpool
and other European ports. It is pretty safe
to say that nobody is very much offsnded
on account of thegoveraor’s action. If the
direct trade idea is a feasible one it can
easily be shown to be so, and in that case
there will be no opposition to it. On tbe
contrary, there will be every disposition to
favor it,
Ex-Slugger John L. Sullivan, now actor
on the American stage, is playing “Honest
Hearts and Willing Hands” in Connecticut,
with great success. John L. says acting is
simply a pic lie alongside of fighting. He
does not propose to notice Kilrain’s chal
lenge to fight, because his manner of life
in future is to be several grades above that
of a pugilist. It will be bard work for him
to continue long on any higher grade than
that which he has always occupied.
Mr. Flanagan of Texas would be in favor
of a bill to appoint a supervisor of elections
in each state for life. Undoubtedly he
would. The author of an immortal bit, of
proverbial philosophy in the realm of prac
tical politics knows what he it here for.

country is Jacob Seligman, who is hardly 'more
than four feet high. He came from Germany
when a boy, and went to Michigan twenty
years ago without a dollar. His fortune is now

E. C. Bailey, one of the victims of the Quincy

and built the property up immensely before
selling out to Pulsifer, Andrews and Haskell.
Previous to this newspaper venture he was a
clerk in the Boston po>tofflce for four or five
years. After giving up tue Herald he dabbled
in politicsand journalism in New Hampshire.
Butin 1877 he was back in Boston as managing
editor of the Globe. The Star and the Budget
were subsequent ventures of his at tbe Hub.

CURRENT COMMENT.

Another Reform Needed.
From the Philadelphia Times (Dem.).
Cigarette smoking by boys is now illegal in

The City of Savannah.
Prom the Augusta Chronrle.
,The Trade Edition of the Savannah Morning
News was a very full and creditable showing of
the business of Savannah in the last year and
the last ten years The conviction has been
steadily growing that Savannah, always one of
the most solid, has become really one of the
greatest cities in the south. That conviction
has tiern strengthened by the “map of business
life" issued by the Morning News.
Th© Growth of Savannah.
From the Charleston fierce and Courier.
The lieu’s and Courier has already published
a telegraphic summary of toe “Annual Review
of the Savannah Morning News." selling forth
the phenomenal growth of the business of the
chief port of Georgia during the past year. The
edition of the News containing the review was
published yesterday, and is a mammoth affair
of twenty four pages. Savannah is undoubt

Now and then.
The Corpse Arose.
A friend of John Brogan, who recently fell
dead near Twenty-first and Larimer streets,
had a thrilling experience in Coroner Walley’s
office, which may tarn his hair gray, says the
Denver A ’ews. liergan was to he ouried and had
been laid out preparatory to being dressed in
his burial robes, tie was covered with a white
sheet. Early it the evening ‘ Bob” Roberts,
one of toe coronet's assistants, who had been
working hard all day, lay down on a long bench
near the corpse, and, drawing a sheet over him
to prevent tne flies from bothering him. went
to sleep.
Tne dead and sleeping men were in the above
positions when one of bergan’s friends came in
to pay the last abates to ms friend. The fellow
wa.a little the worse of several good-sized
glasses of whisky, and on entei in x the
morgue asked to soe the remains of his mend.
The men employed there were busy at
the time, and one of them, pointing over to
where two forms were lying, said: “There he
is.” The visitor went over to tue bench where
Roberts was sleeping, and, giving him a hearty
slap on the stomach, sain:
‘ Poor Jack ! It was only day before yester
hay l was after aaking him to have a drink wid
me."
The blow awoke Roberta and he hastily sat
upright. The man's hair stood on end as he
was faced by his supposed dead friend, aud
with a howl of terror wmch stopped the clock,
he rushed through the building and down
Fourteenth street at a gait which would beat
the best professional sprinter in the country.
He gave a yell every few jumps and the last
seen of him lie was neany to the Platte river
and was still going. Friends were trying to
find him, and it is presumed he will be heard
from after he recovers from his fright. Roberts
indignantly demanded to know why he was
thus rudely disturbed, but every one was so
convulsed with laughter that thoy could not
auswer him.
The Old Way Is the Beet.
What is to be 6aid of certain modern methods
of winning a girl's heart now being pursued by
the affluent youth of this New York 9 asks the
Boston Herald. A fellow who plays polo at
Newport managed to get up to town on the
same day that his very young angel, who rides
cleverly to hounds, came up shopping, and by
s l l rowel diplomacy he succeeded in getting her
all alone at luncheon. It was a jolly meal, se
date and dignified to the onlooker, but thrilling
and immeasurably sweet to the participants. It
was shockiog, but the fact is toat the repast
began with cocktails, ended with orandies, and
was Ailed out by a very cold bottle of “fizz"—as
ail the swagger girls call caampagne. By the
time the dessert was reached, the youth had the
girl’s consent to be his wife.
“If vou say yes,” said the youth, “I will have
served for you a certain disu for dessert that I
know you will like above anythiug you ever
bad before. If you say no, theu you shan't have
the disn."
“Isay yes!—yes-yes" responded the girl,
and her foot touched that of her companion
under the table, while they both sighed.
The promised dish was brought. It looked
very delicate and sugary, something on the
order of a meringue, all puffy aud wuite.
“You will serve it your oif, dear," said the
voung man, “and please cut it in a very careful
way. The int rior it is extremely precious, add
must be handled with irreat care."
The girl deftly slipped a knife into the sugar.
“Why, what’s that?' she cried, as the wnole
arrangement collapsed, and something like, a
statin box lay revealed.
“That is your part of the dish," replied the
young man. "Open it and see if it i6 made to
your taste."
The girl, rosy with anticipation, opened the
box, and a beautiful solitaire diamond ring
flashed its white light into her sparkling eyes.
And sne loved her lover very dearly all that
afternoon.
A Child’s Tribute.
It was one of the hottest of the hot days of
July that have just passed, says the Pittsburg
Dispatch. Not a breath of air was stirring, even
in the tops of the trees. The sturdy little l£n
gllsh sparrows had ceased their sharp, shrill,
chirping, and were panting in the shade. If
you look straight down the street you could see
a quivering of heat in the air, like that which
is often vlsiole over a hot stove. Everybody
walked slowly. Fow of the drivers of
the vans, wagons and cabs urged their
horses into a trot. The only animals that
suffered were the poor stoeet car horses. They
went trotting and galloping by with their heavy
loads, which, on account of the heat, were
heavier than usual. Many of the poor brutes
stopped during the day, staggered under the
whip, and dropped by the roadside. The cir
oumstance had finally become so usual that it
attracted but little attention and less pity. But
of all the horses that died that cruel afternoon
one at least received a tribute as affecting as if
paid by an angel. The animal had dropped in
the street, aud had been rudely draggo.lto one
side, where it lay, rolling its dust-filled eyes
grasping and lolling its tongue A small crowd
gathered around, shutting out what little air
there was. “Hold on. Cally,” shouted a
gamin, “here's fun I Let’s see de cop shoot
’im.”
“Git a pillar,” facetiously suggested a red
nosed man with a blotched face.
"His head don't lay easy,” said another to a
veterinary surgeon, who took one glaoce and
walked away. “Give hime a hypodermic, He
ain't dyin’ easy.”
Just then a ragged little girl passed proudly
carrying a cheap bouquet, and smelling of it
frequently. When she saw the dying horse she
stopped a moment, and then by a sudden im
pulse, went and laid the flowers on his head
btrange to say no one jeered. The red-faced
man waited away shame facedly. So. one by
one. did the others, aud the poor animal was
left to die in peace. As the little girl ran off a
benevolent old gentleman picked ber up and
kissed her, saying:
“God bless you, little dear.” There was a
tear in his eye. “Christ was right about the
children, aud so was Worksworth when he
said: “Heaven lies among us in our infancy.”
‘•And This is Boston.”
The little towns of New York, Chicago and St.
Louis delightedly tell anecdotes concerning
Boston which they believe to be funny, but
which to us Bostonians possesses no element of
humor, says the Boston Advertiser. It is well
once in a while to tell a story ourselves, in order
that the crop of anecdotes concerning our city
and our people may not die out, and that they
may wear the appearance at least of authenti
city. It is said, and my nformant is trust
worthy, that not long ago a pict
ure-dealer from New York came )o
Boston, bringing with him a stock
of his wares. He hired an empty store on Tre
mont sireet and made a creditable display of
paintings The gem of his collection was a fine
large painting by an artist of repute. It was
expensively tiamed, and eg a drawing-card the
dealer placed it in the window. During the next
few days he had many visitors but few pur
chasers. But be resolved not to be discouraged.
At length, after he had bean here for a week or
more, a fine equipage drove to the door and an
elegantly attired lady alighted and entered the
shop.
“What is the price of the picture in the win
dow ?” she asked. I have seen it several times
in passing and admired it greatly
“That picture, madams, is three-fifty,” re
sponded the dealer suavely.
"Well, vou may send it to my bouse to-day. I
suppose that tne price includes the frame, re
sponded the lady, handing the dealer a card
upon which was inscribed a name well known in
black Bay circle/
The (lea er was staggered slightly at the
promptness with which his customer closed the
bargain, and said hesitatingly:
S3TIV' U ua J * rotand ' ““lame, that the price ia
“Indeed, I did not," was the reply. “You said
"three fifty.' and I supposed you meant $3 50.
O, I couldn’t think of paying so much as that
for a picture," and the lady left and her carriage
rolled away.
“And this is Boston:” murmured the dealer to
himself, and immediately cloaed and locked hia
door. The next day there was a shop to let
where once tie New York picture deafer had
displayed his wares.

"We may reasonably expect," says the Chi

this: Mr. Blank is an able and fluent debater,
and is famous for a wicked right. In public *t
gument he stands with his feet rather wide
apart, and holds a high guard. He seldom at
tempts to knock out an opponent with a punch,
preferring to chop him with a punishing left
until he has his victim groggy, when he rushes
in and finishes him with a right. He stands
punishment well, and is in all other respects
worthy of the suffrages of the people.’ ”
A housij of five stories leaning againt a rising

A certain Capt. Wolman, whoss picture gal
lery was destroyed by Are, was indicted for
incendiarism before the criminal court of St.
Petersburg. Proofs were produced that he had
fired his bouse in order to get the insurance
money. The jury found him guilty and he was
sentenced to imprisonment at hard labor for
the term of four years. An appeal was made
to the Senate, who annuled the verdict on the
ground that Wolman stood under the military
authorities and could not be tried in a civil
court. He was) tried again before the military
court and acquitted. The insurance company
will consequently have to pay the whole
amount.
The moral reformer of China is the “Pro
vincial Treasurer of Soochow.” He has issued
a proclamation commanding managers of
theaters in Shanghai to desist from the repre
sentation of immoral plays. Restaurants and
other places of public interest must discontinue
employing female performers. “Immoral
plays.” the provincial treasurer says, ‘excite
the female mind and sometimes lead women to
imitate the wicked e.ctions portraved on the
stage.” Because tneatera “have been estab
lished so long that it would be impossible to
wean the public mind from them so far os to
permit of abolishing them,” all that can be
done is to purge them from their 'sensational
degrading and licentious” dramas.
M. Gerard, a French inventor, has produced
a gun wnich shoots, not by the aid of villainous
saltpetre, but by condensed carbonic acid gas.
You pull a trigger.and one drop of the condensed
gas ent rs the chamber of the gun. It is in
stantly reconverted into gas and the pressure
drives out the bullet with a velocity continually
accelerated until it leaves the muzzle. Mr.
Gerard c.aims that you can fire, without stop
ping to reload. 300 bullets, one after the other,
witti the carbonic acid condensed in a small cyl
inder twelve inches long. There is no flash, no
report, no smoke, no recoil and no heat. Invis
ible death can be rained out upon the enemy at
l,ai)o yards' range without any si ;n being af
forded him of the position from whence the bul
lets come. The gas necessary to propel the 300
bullets costs I penny. It is perfectly safe
against accidental explosion and is proof
against fire and water. If the experiments
justify the claims of the inventor gunpowder
will join the bowstring and the catapult.
