Who would ever have suspected so pro

Notwithstanding that the cost of the re

sum of the white man’s money as indemni
fication for the losses aud damages they are
supposed to have sustained in resisting ar

no idea of thrift. Why he’s “chuck full”

Railway Deals.
It is stated on the authority of Mr. Hunt
ington, president of the Southern Pacific
Railway Company, that negotiations are
going on for the consolidation of three great
railway systems, via., the Southern Pacific,
the Miasouri Pacific, and the Atchison. The
Missouri Pacific is Mr. Gould’s road.
The reasons given for the consolidation
are that the cutting of rates, which is now
practiced by the systems, benefits very few
and greatly leasens the earnings of the rail
roads, and, also, that the consolidated sys
tems could be run at a much less expense
than the separate systems are.
The chief difficulty in the way of consoli
dation is the determing of the share of the
consolidated stock which esoh system shall
have. The claim made for each system is,
of course, much greater than will be
allowed, provided consolidation is effected.
It is stated that Mr. Geuld claims 45 per
cent, of the stock.
Does not this prop wed consolidation of
the three foregoing railway systems afford a
key to the trip which Mr.Gould has just made
over the three railroad svstems which are
controlled by the Richmond Terminal Com
pany! May there not be negotiations going
on for the consolidation of Mr. Gould’s
southwestern properties with the Richmoud
Terminal properties?
If there were not something of this kind
under consideration Mr. Gould would
hurdly take the trouble to make a personal
study of the Richmond Terminal properties.
He has, it is true, a very considerable block
of the Richmond Terminal stock, but, as
that stock pays no dividend, and Is not
likely to this century, It is hardly probable
that be would take such a profound interest
in the threo railway systems in which it is
cot known that he has any direct interest.
It is not at all improbable that there are
surprises in store for tuose who are in
terested in the systems controlled by the
Richmond Terminal, but who are not in a
position to know what Is going on with re
gard to to those systems. Mr. Gould is not
making a study of those tjitami for the mere
purpoee of becoming better acquainted with
them.
Stop the Fuss and Start the Fair.
Wrangling will make rather a disgusting
spectacle of the participants, but will never
make the sort of a show that tho Columbian
exposition was originally intended to be,
and the sooner tho Chicago people realize
that Incontrovertible fact and shut off the
commissioners and property owners the (let
ter for the proposed fair. That is to say, if
they intend to have one. Continued un
seemly disputing now appears iu a fair way
to disgust every one who ever took an in
terest iu the enterprise. Every detail of the
project seems to be contested at every stage
of ita progress. At that rate the fair might
Douibly be ready for “a grand spring open
ing,” as Gen. Wanamaker would say, about
the year 1903 or later on.
Why can’t those turbulent elements be
expeditiously and unceremoniously “elimi
nated” so as to let the work go ahead,
now that it is begun. Outside ob
servers are rapidly growing tired
of all talk and no progress. Until they be
gin to see something material of all that
has been promised, they are apt to hold
their intended contributions in reserve.
Still, they would probably pour in their
money and exhibits with any sort of en
couragement. There is no lack of interest
throughout the,country. Should the fair
prove a failure it will be wholly due to the
droning sloth aud petty contentions of
those who are entrusted with its direction,
and, therefore, ought to do their utmost to
advance instead of aotually retarding it.
Various large sums for divers purposes
are said to be still required, and they are
likely to continue needful, but lacking, just
so long as the multitude of commissioners
•how no disposition to work harmoniously
together for the sole purpose of making the
fair such a success as the whole country
would like to see it.
Baron's Hirsch's Generosity.
Baron Maurioe de Hirsch is a generous
man, and he is especially generous to the
persecuted Jews of Russia. He is reported
to be worth $100,000,000, the greater part
of which he accumulated as a builder of
railroads.
A great many Russian Jews are coming
to this country. They find residence in
Russia intolerable. Muuy of them when
they arrive here are in a destitute condition.
In order that they may not suffer want or
become a burden to aoy community m
which they may seek homes Baron Hirsch
has provided a fund of $2,500,000 for their
boneflt. The fund is in the keeping of a
committee of which Banker Seligman, of
New York, is treasurer.
Destitute Russian Jews receive assistance
on application to this committee. Farms
aud stock and tools are purchased for them,
and technological sohools ore being estab
lished for the benefit of their children, and
also experimental farms, where farming is
taught.
The committee is also erecting factories in
which only the Immigrant Jews from Rus
sia will be employed. The Jews who come
to this country from Russia are therefore
being well oared for. They are taught to
become farmers, manufacturers and me
chanics.
They have a very generous benefactor.
What he is doing for them in this country
he intended to do in Russia, but found it
impracticable to carry out his generous in
tentions there. If the inoomo from the $2,-
500,000 is not found sufficient for the work
which the committee bat in hand the prin
cipal can be drawn upon. In fact, the com -
mittee is authorized to expend the money in
the way it thinks best.
Baron Hirsch is a friend of the Prince of
Wales. His generosity has made him the
friend of many other leading men of
Europe. He believes in doing good with
his weaith during his .lifetime—not in leav
ing it for thriftless heirs to squander or
lawyers to fight for.
Few people seem inclined to believe that
the Prince of Woles will really be brought
into court as a witness m that London
gambling scrape. To see the heir to the
British crown make his initial entrance into
the courts of his royal mother’; realm in
uch a capacity would certainly be an ex
traordinary spectacle, to say the least.
South Carolina senators seem to have
hard luck with tbeir riding animals. First
Senator Hampton was thrown from a mule
and seriously crippled, and now Senator
Butler has been painfully hurt by a fall
from his spirited horse. Safety seems to
require that the gentlemen shall hereafter
ride only in street cars.
After all of the raging torrent of dis
cursory conversation that we have beard
about tbe Indian disturbances it Is not very
edifying to hear western papers saying that
“Secretary Noble talks." That’s what he’s
been doing all along.
THE MORNING NEWS; TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 10,1891.
Extra Session Gossip.
There is very little probability that there
will be an extra session of congress. There
is considerable gossip to the effect that there
will be, but it does not proceed from any
authoritative source. The President does
not want it, and neither do the members of
congress.
A day or two ago it was alleged that Sec
retary Blaine was negotiating reciprocal
commercial agreements with Central and
South American countries which would
make an extra session a necessity. It
seems, however, that he is not doing any
thing of the kind. The only treaties he is
negotiating are those which the reciprocity
clause of the tariff bill authorizes the
President to make.
If any of the Important appropriation bills
should fail to pass it would become neces
sary to call another session. But no one of
them is going to fail. They will be passed
even though they should be full of errors.
Last week it was said that the silver sen
ators proposed to tack the free coinage
silver bill on to the pension or some other
appropriation bill, and that the force bill
senators intended to do the same thing with
the force bill. It is safe to say that nothing
of the kind will be done. The force bill is
considered to be dead beyond resurrrection,
and the free silver coinage bill is in a mori
bund condition.
Aud it would not be advantageous to the
democrats to have an extra session. Senti
ment relative to the speak- : ship of the next
House has not materialized, and it might
take many times longer to elect a
speaker immediately after March 4 than it
would after th 6 first Monday in Decembor.
And the republicans have nothing to gain
by an extra session. Nothing that would
be done by congress in extra session would
be for the benefit of them.
It may be assumed, therefore, that the
new congress will not moet before the first
Monday in December next; and that will be
soon enough for it to meet.
Italy’s New Cabinet.
The new ministry In Italy does no
meet with the approval of the Italian news
papers. They express the opiuion that it is
weak, and will be short-lived. Doubtless
they voice the sentiment of the people with
reipect to it.
The fail of Signor Crisni caused surprise.
It was thought that he was all powerful. A
parliament had recontly b eu elected which
was thought to be completely under his con
trol, and he was popular with tho masses.
He adopted a financial policy, however,
which lost him the majority of par:la
ment, and he was compelled to step
aside for anew man. The king
would have been glad to have retained his
services, if he could have done so without
too great a sacrifice of his popularity. By
many it is thought strange that he did not
make greater exertions in his behalf. There
were reasons, doubtless, which prevented
him from doing so.
If Signor Crispi had been more politic
and less aggressive he might perhaps have
retainod his position. He was so confident of
bis strength, however, that he made no
effort to conciliate his parliamentary
enemies.
And Queen Margaret was against him.
She dislikes him intensely, and insisted that
the king Bhould make no effort to save him.
That was one of the reasons, perhaps, why
the king made such a weak effort to retain
him. But before the king would make
Signor Rudini premier he insisted upon a
promise from him that he would not depart
widely from iLe foreign policy which Signor
Crispi had pursued.
Signor Crispi expocts to be in his old
position again inside of a year. He does
not believe that Rudini will prove himself
equal to the responsible duties of the office
to which he has been appointed. In ex
pressing this opinion Signor Crispi reveals
a phase of his character. He thinks ho is
the only man in Italy who is capable of
directing the government. He may find
himself mistaken, however. There are
some very able men among Italy’s publio
men, and they will not permit the impres
sion to get abroad, If they oan help it, that
Signor Crispi is the only great man in
Italy.
Some people have grotesquely queer ideas
of legitimate enterprise and religion. Last
November an elvelope containing promis
sory notes worth $9,500 was mailed by the
Fourth City Bank of Boston to W. M. An
derson, cashier of the Delta National Bank,
at Greenwood, Miss. By the postal clerk’s
carelessness the letter was delivered to Mrs.
Catherine Anderson of Greenwood, Mass.
She soon began negotiations to surrender
the property on the payment of a thousand
dollars reward. Although the correspond
ence was conducted in a manner to conceal
her identity, the government detectives
have entrapped her, and she was recently
arraigned in the United States court in
Boston and held for tne grand jury. Her
brother was also arrested. Mrs. Anderson,
who does not realize the gravity of tho
situation, says: "1 am a poor woman, and
the good Lord put in my hands a way to
get the reward.” Still there is in Holy
Writ no apparent reason for the belief that
the inscrutablo Creator is in anywise en
gaged in aiding people to rob one another.
Signing just any and everything that is
presented is a very common practice, al
though a very unsafe one. This was pro
bably never more strongly exemplified than
In West Virginia, whore James A. Carroll a
prominent though illiterate farmer of Pres
ton county, iscently astonished the judge of
the county oourt by presenting a petition
that he be hanged and that the court set the
date. And the paper was signed by 250 of
his acquaintances. It turned out that Car
roll was a road surveyor and desired to re
sign. He asked Dr. J anise A. Cox to draw
up a paper to that effect Cox is a wag,
and, knowing that Carroll could not read, he
drew up a petition asking that he be benged,
and awaited curiously to see how many
people would sigu it without knowing what
they were doing. About 150 signed the
paper without roadiug it, aud those who
“caught on” allowed it to go its rounds.
This clearly shows how muoh interest peo
ple take in their neighbors and their neigh -
bor’s affairs.
Because an unusually excitable Memphis
editor recently expressed the opinion that
the negro is not a capable voter the
Chicago Tribune says that be “hates the
negro.” But the New Jersey politicians
who confined Newark negro police to oatch
ing dogs uutil they revolted against such
treatment are probably considered the
especial guardians and friends of the
negro.
Birmingham appears to be in rather a
demoralized condition. Robbery, street
rows and other kindred disorders are heard
of with rather undne frequency. What
Birmingham needs is a police force that
will keep awake;

The late Irma Marie, the Paris opera singer,
was once a womau of marvelous beauty, with
flashing black eyes and a supsrh figure, but be

Senora Gonzales, wife of the ex-president
of M‘xico, is now traveling in the United

Jerry Simpson remarked, when he was intro
duced to Senator Ingalls: “Senator, I do not
know whether I owe my greatness to my head
or my feet.” “Ah,” quickly replied the sen
ator . "that may be. but hereafter you will have
to depend upon your head.”
Kate Field tell* of a Washington woman
who defines courage as the absence of petti
coats. In her lexicon it is clothes, not sex,
which makes women cowardly. She does not

woman courage to face a bloodthirsty mouse.
Chief Ekqineer Sewell of the White Star

times the distance between the earth and the
moon.

ITS MS OF INTEREST.
yixcßASirnßrnr, lately was thrown into a
fever of excitement by the announcement
that smallpox had broken out For awuiie the
itreeta were filled with excited people, who
were eagerly ducussiag the correctness of the
report. Physicians hurried to each other's
offices, trying to learn what doctor was treat
ing the cue. The c&uae of the scare was due
to a little daughter of C. R. Bellvilie. who wu
playing he doll nad smallpox, and had placed
a placard in the window with ‘•emallpox” in
scribed upon it
A retired inoinexr. Breaking of snow
storma, told a story about clearing railroad
tracks. The road on which he was running at
the time begins or ends, as you choose, in Jer
aey City. At one point on the line there is a
deep cut. which always gives trouble when a
heavy snowfall occurs. Just beyond the cut is
a high iron bridge, which spans a very deep
gorge. “We were driving an old-fashioned
snow plow with six of our biggest engines,' 1
sail the engineer. “It was regular battering
ram work. We would draw back and smash
Into that drift lisea war cruiser, un.il it seemed
as if our string of engines must snap
in two. But we just batterel away
for dear life, gradually opening the
cut. We had smashed our way almost
through the big drift when we hacked up for
another drive. We oams at the drift like a
streax of lightning. It seemed as if we threw a
million tons of ice and snow as high as the sky.
IVe did more than that. We cut throng 11lie
whole drift as if it were made of rotten cloth,
and came out of it on the jump. Away we
went for that bridge, the six heavy engines
roaring ljjte a tornado. I was driving the first
one. and when 1 thought of the tremeudous
weight that would hit that iron span like a
great cannon-ball my heart stood still. There
was no stopping them, so 1 threw open the
throttle ana let her go. We seemed to jump
from one side of that gorge to the other with
out touching the bridge, and six engineers and
six firemen drew long breaths when we found
ourselves safely on the other side, tearing along
the track.”
Horrors of soldier life in the foreign
legions of France are described by a German
officer who once served In the midst of them.
He arrived at Oran, capital of the province of
Oran, where the foreign legioDS, 20,000 strong,
are stationed, after a stormy voyage of three
days, and as at once set to breaking stone.
His comrades at the work were counts, doctors,
barons, lawyers, and all sorts of uneducated
men of every European nationality, for the
foreign legions are a refuge to which any sound
man between 15 and 46 years is welcomed, what
ever his blood, record, or character. All the
soldiers work like day laborers with picks and
shovels, and any of them who tries to rest for a
moment during working hours is spurred on by
a kick or a blow from a non-commissioned
officer in command. This kind of abuse is so
frequen t and so recklessly applied that shortly
before the German officer's arrival a
young Austrian had knocked out his
own teeth in order that he might be
discharged and thus escape it. The small
est offenses are punished by arrest and confine
ment. Thirty or thirty-five men are thrust into
a room not large enough for ten, and therefore
so crowded that at night each has to sleep sit
ting, with his knees under hischin. During the
day the prisoners are exercised in running,
jumping and the most difficult military move
ments for six hours without cessation. Few
men nre able to endure the fatigue. Dozens
faint from exhaustion in the the third or fourth
hour and are carried from the parade ground.
The terror of all legionaires is confinement in
the sylos, a hole In the ground, with a narrow
entrance and a broad bottom. The depth of
the hole is twelve feet, and the prisoner is let
down on a string. The heat in the sylos, un
shaded from the African sun, is so terrible that
but a few days of imprisonment suffice to
transform a healthy man into a white-faced,
emaciated and nerveless invalid.
Completely Cured the Governor.
"Speaking of accidental cures," said an old
physician to a Chicago Pott reporter, “reminds
me of an incident in the official career of ex-
Gov. Paddleford of Rhode Island. The gov
ernor was a very corpulent man, and shortly
after his instalment an abscess formed in bis
stomach. It was most painful, and, to ease the
pain, his physician instructed him to travel.
The governor, accompanied by his wife, set
forth, and pretty much over the entire country
they went. One night, in a sleeping car, the
pain attacked the governor with extraordinary
force, and, as u ual at such times, his good wife
got up to prepare a mustard plaster. Bo accus
tomed was the governor to such applications
that, like drinks for an old toner, thev nad to be
made extra strong to be effective." With the
assistance of the porter, however, she
fixed up a large, fat plaster, which,
she calculated, would come pretty nigh
drawing the very abscess itself out of her liege
lord, tnen, bolding it carefully before her,
trotted back to the berth, and, parting the cur
tains, she placed the poultice on the proper
place. As she gave it ks last pat, she looked
up for a smile of thanks from her husband,
when to her horror she discovered that she had
stopped at the wrong berth, and operated upon
a strange individual, who was a drummer for a
liquor house. That she had not before die
covered her mistake, or that he had not
awakened, was due to his being a person of
about the same size as the goverupr, and con
siderably under the influence of liquor. Shud
dering with fright the good lady found her
husband's berth and stammered forth
wnat she had done. The governor,
although in great pain, and notwith
standing that the plaster contained bis eutire
stock of mustard, laughed loudly and vowed
that if he died he would not stir till the man
with the gubernatorial plaster on his common
clay stomach should awake. The time was not
long. A piei ding yell that brought the conductor
andpor.erto the drummer’s berth announced
its arrival. As they tore aside the curtains
the drummer, putting his hand to his stomach,
felt the soft plaster, 'My God!’ he screamed,
as visions of premature decomposition danced
before his eyes, ‘l’m spoiling!" In an agony
of mine he tore the the plaster, which he sup
posed to be a layer of decaying flesh, from him,
and with a scream of despair flung it away. It
struok the porter in the face, and that individ
ual, fancying that his brains bad been knocked
out, fled.
"What's the matter with you?’ the conductor
inquired of the drnmmer.
“ 'Matter?' echoed that personage with misery
in his face. ‘Matter? Great heavens, oau you
ask* Look there,' he said, pointing to his stom
ach. ‘I am rotting away; and to think it was
my own whisky that did it!’
“The conductor looked at the spot indicated,
but saw nothing unnatural He so told the
drummer, who cautiously placed his hand on
his stomach. HU lightning change of counte
nance told the relief he felt. 'I must have had
a nightmare,’ he said. The conductor, consid
i bly mys*ifi'd, withdrew and obtained an ex
p u ation fn he governor, who, having over
board the ier, was just recovering from a
paroxysm o. aughter which had broken the
abseeßs. Its breaking was what had been
sought, and in a few hours the governor was
entirely cured.”

From the flew York Sun.
'Twas In June when first I met her. and I never
shall forget her
Unassuming, artless manner nor her unaf
fected ways;
While 1 liked her all the better that her tongue
she did not fetter
With the stilted phraseology that bores us
nowadays.
She was sweet as ever rose was, and I certainly
suppose was
Just about the dearest summer girl that ever
man desired;
So my heart ere August's close was captivated;
to propose was
I upon the very point to the girl I so ad
mired.
She informed me as we parted, both of us quite
heavy-hearted.
That in Boston she should pass the coming
winter with a friend.
Then a glance at me she darted, I caught on,
the engine started.
And already I foresaw what would doubtless
be the end.
For I knew the ways of Boston her sweet smile
would drop a frost on.
Congealing all her summer warmth to au
tumn-atic chill;
Browning tires she’d there be tossed on, Cupid’s
darts would then be lost on
Such a tender-hearted maideD, after such
Athenian drill.
When we met again I found her a most vfiffilent
expounder
(X all supermundane theories and ochlocratic
rule.
While she strove to draw around her men of In
tellect profounder
Than the students of the occult of the tran
substantiate school
She professed to be a censor of the works of
Herbert Spencer;
Her thoughts seemed all nubigenous, and not
of social life:
And I must have been much denser than I am,
to give offense or
Even think of asking would she be my wife.

Wherever the middleman makes his ap
pearance. the purchaser has to bsar the
burden. He is like the taxes which the

sumer. When you buy from a place which
deals with the middleman, you pay so much
for the article you purchase and so much for
the support of the middleman. He is, like
all luxuries, expensive, and we have no use
for his services. One of the reasons why we
can sell you clothing so cheaply is that we
have virtually thrown him out of doors.
