It was a cola day in Ohio Wednesday. Hay be that is wby tpltflre Foraker got left. _ J'bo Dumber of Occidents occurring would indicate that just about ail the railroads in this country need bioeks. Patti’s penohant for pets is going to the dogs. Her latest fancy is a Mexican Chi huahua named Frinoe Hicci. To call such an exquisite prevaricator as Eli Perkins plain Mr." sounds flat. He ought to be entitled to •• Col.” at least. War rumors are never “at peace.” When Eurojve quiets down for a rest from rumor ing the war on stock tickers and bucket chops is renewed. They are going to have a ‘'gerrymander" to Ohio and a * ‘redistricting” in New York. The difference is in the party doing the work, you know. Chicago’s remarkable magnanimity in re gard to the democratic national convention is explained; Chicago is puzzled over the base bail situation. Garza, it is said, is losing heart. That is better than losing bead; but the chances are he will do both, as the Mexioan govern ment wishes to purchase his cranium for $30,000. If Mr. Blaine is really ill the Morning News extends its sympathy; but itstrongty •uspeots that he is only thimble-rigging be tween the hands of his friends and the hands f bis physicians. Abraham Lincoln issued a proclamation making wool free over a quarter of a cent ary ago, and now a western republican paper has the hardihood to suggest that Springer’s free wool idea is merely a bid for the negro vote. One of the most pathetic stories of tbe prevailing grip epidemic came from Easton, Pa. yesterday in the Morning News dis patches. John Brown and three of his grandchildren died there of the disease and were burled in the eame casket. Secretary Traoy says it will take four fears mare of hard and inielhgeut work to put the United States navy in good condi tion. Yet there are people who insist on going to war every time we have a rnisuu terstanding with a foreign power. There are af least two pretty decent re publicans in Ohio. In the republican cau cus Wednesday night, as told in our dis patches yesterday, they positively refused to vote for either Sherman or Foraker, and Oust their ballots for McKinley and Foster. Maj. Moses P. Handy is preparing to pro mote the Chicago fair by means of terrapin and champagne served to the whole con gressional membership—to ’•bamboozle” them with oooter and liquor, as the emi nent governor of South Carolina would ex press it. lte “Interstate Artificial Raia Com pany of Kansas” is the latest product ol that remarkably prolific state. Its prov ince is “to furnish moisture for the counties named.” The stock is on the market, but the name is so suggestive that there is no crush of buyers at the business office. Bulgaria evidently feels pretty sure of the backing of Germany and Roumanla when she flouts France by refusing to re mind the Chadouiue decree. This action was brought about by the recant change of the Bulgarian ministry, which is no win ac cord with triple alliance sentiments. Richmond and Danville's Credit. The credit of the Richmond and Danville railroad has l*en put upon a solid founda tion by the guarantee fund of $">,000,000, which has been raised by Gen. Thomas. The banks which are carrying the Boating debt of tho road are now entirely satis led that the debt will be provided for satisfac torily, and they have ceased, therefore, to be pressing in their demands for settlement. The fact that the men interested in the road are so confident of its ability to meet Its obligations that they subscribe an amount of money more than sufficient to pay all of Its unsecured indebtedness re lieves them of any anxiety respecting the loans they have made to the road and makes them willing and ready to extend ad ditional pecuniary assistance if it should be needed. The guarantee fund was raised by Gen. Thomas, who. although it has been asserted that he is a railroad wrecker, has plenty of credit with capitalists and financial institu tions. He Is a man not only of large means but of extraordinary ability. He enjoys the reputation of being much the ablest man in New York who Is identified with southern railroad properties. He talks very fairly about the Central railroad. There is nothing la his public utterances that indicates tuat ho has any intention of favoring a policy that wouid injure that road. In a recent conversation he said he thought the Central's stoex and securities ought to be worth more now than before the recent trouble in the Richmond Terminal board, because it was the Termi nal’s intention to manage the property so that its earning power would be greatly increased. It is expeoted that the Oloott committee will not make a report inside of two weeks and it may be a month before it is ready to submit a plan of adjustment, but there does not appear to be any doubt that it will submit a plan that will be entirely aooeptable to all Interested parties and that will relievo the Terminal and the companies it controls of any further financial embar rassment. It is understood that the Central's new board of directors are oonfldent that there will be no more trouble between the Cen tral and the Klohmcmd and Danville, and that the latter road, if permitted to do so, will carry out the terms of the lease by which it controls the OentraL Unless some Stronger reason for objecting to the con tinuance of the lease than exists at present should tie discovered the probabilities are that the present relations between the two roads will remain undisturbed. Blaine's Quick Recovery. Our Washington dispatches this morning state that Mr. Ulalne has about recovered from the illness by which be was suddenly attacked lu the state department Wednes day, aud that he will be at his desk in a day or two. His illness does not appear to have been caused by anything more serious than ludlgeetloß. If there is nothing more than dyspepsia the matter with him, he Is likely to live quite a number of years yet. When It became known that he had been taken ill suddenly in the state department, and that he was unoonsoious for awhile, thoee friends of the President who hod been saying that Kr. Blaine’s health would not permit him to adept the presidential nom ination of his partf, and that he would soon announce that he would not be a candidate for tbe nomination, were quite Jubilant They wore not gratified, of oourse, that Mr. Blaine had beoome suddenly 111. They do not bear biin any Ill will and do not desire that his health shall fail. Tho source of satisfaction was the indication that Mr. Blaine is just as sick a man os they have been saying he Is, and that, consequently, he will not be in the President’s way when tho time for making the presidential nomination comes. But it may turn out that they wire in too great haste in assuming that his sudden iliuoss was an indication of feeble health. It may bo that to avoid suoh an attack hs has only to be careful about what he eats. He may have several more such attacks before the meeting of tha coavention and still consider himself strong enough to sonept tho nomination and hear tho burdens of a presidential campaign. Those who are anxious to have an an nouncement from him tbst he will not ac cept the nomination under any circum stances arc in danger of making a great mistake if tbey thiuk his stomach troubles will so alarm him that ho will deoline to be a candidate. Tbe doubt as to what his in tention ia, with reepeot to the nomination, is as great as It has teen at any time dur ing the last year. The conclusion reached by the demooratio executive committee of Bouth Carolina means "uot peace, nut a sword.” It is pos sible that the faction of the party known as llaskellites may go into the primaries and endeavor to beat Ben Tillman there, but that is not a certainty. That faction of the party is absolutely and thoroughly dis gusted with Tdliuau, and will leave nothing undone to defeat him. If tbey And they have sufficient streugtb to accomplish that defeat at tbe primaries they will do it then and there; but if that strength is tasking it will be the same story of 1890 over again —two osndidates and a red-hot campaign on tbe slump lasting all summer. Gov. Flower’s reaonimendatiou that tha Now York law forbidding the publication of details of execution by electricity be changed is eminently sensible. If his sug gestion is accepted, and It very probably will be, the question whether or not electro cution is less painful ana mors speedy than hanging will be settled after ths first legal ized killing to whioh reporters are admitted. Public interest in the adoption of the new form of capital puuishment is legitimate, and it is only proper that tho public should have a true and full story of the workings, which can be obtained iu no other way so well as through the medium of newspaper men and their journals. The Game well police telegraph system is an excellent one. With its use the efficiency of the force on ordinary occasions is in creased m marked degree, while on extraor dinary occasions, such as a riot or great fire, there is no calculating the benefit that may be derived from it in the saving of time and in other obvious ways. Tho system is in satisfact >ry uss non in a number of southern cities. The only question with re spect to its adoption in this city was whether, in view of other heavy expenses, it was advisable to incur the expense of it at this time. Bolpssy Kiralfy was the proprietor of a splendid but uubllled spoctejular scene in Now York the other uight. Fireworks were the chief feature, and some 835,0J0 worth of gaudy tiniel scenery furnished the com bustibles. It was an impromptu affair, but the dvad-beod audlonce was immense. In surance light. THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 1892. Russia's Vinery. The civilized world is moved by Russia's misery. Whatever the faults of the gov ernment under which Russians live may be the sympathy of the brotherhood of mankind goes out to them in this time of their distress and suffering. This sympathy in tho United Ktates has taken a practical turn. Provisions have been donated in large quantities to be sent to tbe stricken districts, to be distributed among the needy. An organized system of collecting contribu ; tiocs for the peasants has been instituted, and now it is estimated that quite a ship i load of grain and flour await* transporta tion to the czar’s needy "children.” Even the President of the United States has taken official action in the matter, having requested congress, in a special message, to provide a ship, at this government’s ex pense, to take the grain to some Russian port, where it may be delivered to the Russian authorities for distribution. At this stage of matters Mr. George Ken nan, the eminent writer on Siberia in par ticular and Russia generally, submits to be interviewed by a newspaper correspondent, and makes the statement that if Russian government officials are to disburse the bouotv of the western world, that bounty were better withheld—the people for whom it is intended will get no benefit from it. To strengthen his assertion Mr. Kennan relates numerous instances of official greed and tyranny, going to show that the peasant* are not allowed to possess anything or dis pose of any posses;ion except by official suf ferance after being subjected to extortion to tho last degree. Police official* in the provinces look upon the poor aa their legiti mate prey, and do not hesitate at anything to better their own condition at the expense of the peasants. It is Mr. Kennan's implied opinion that if wheat issent by this country to Russia for the starving, it will not reach the peasants, but will be appropriated by the conscienceless officials. Mr. Kennan has lost all confidence in the Russian government. He went to that country as the government’s friend, pre pared to believe that things were not as bad as they had t>een painted. But what ho saw convinced him that the half had not been told; and he lays all the blame for present conditions in the land of the black bear at the government’s door. 1b no othsr country under the sun, he asserts, could the failure of a single year’s orop reduce the people to starvation. And this has been brought about by tbe pernicious autocracy which crushes ambition out of its subjects’ souls. While all that Mr. Kennan says may be true, it is also true that there are thousands of Russian peasants starving, and it be hooves a people blessed with plenty and with tbe liberality to give to endeavor to ameli orate their condition. The attempt could not fall to be productive of beneficial results, whether or uot a shipment of American grain went Into wrong hands. Buell a ship ment, under the auspices of the government at Washington, could not fall to come to the attention of the esar—who is said to be ig norant of the true state of affairs—and com ing to his ears he might take steps to make nu investigation, which, In all probability, would result iu incalculable benefit to bis oountry and people. It is to be regretted that ootigress failed to adopt the resolution authorizing the gov ernment to send assistance to Russia’s famine-stricken people, Sherman's Victory. It looks very much as if John Shermßn would remain in the United States Senate during life. His present term does not ex pire until a year from next March and he has just been chosen for another term of six years. If he lives Le will be 7fi years of ago when tho term for which he has beou choseu expires. But oven thea he will not boas old as Senator Morrill of Vermont is now. The Vermont senator will be 83 next April. Ex-Gov. Foraker, who was Mr. Sher man’s oppouent, for the sanatonhin, made enough noise to lead the public to think that he would get the placs that Mr. Sherman has filled so long, but the balloting in the caucus showed that ho was quite a long way from victory. Mr. Shermau is a bit ter partisan aud the south has no parliculnr admiration for him, but he is preferable in every respect to ex-Gov. Forakar. Of his ability there ia no question The late Sena tor Been regarded him os the strongest debater on tho republican side of the Senate. He has served his party faithfully and, viewed from a republican standpoint, he has rendered his state excellent service. It was thought ex-Uov. Forakar had killed himself politically by getting mixed up in the celebrated ballot-box Bcandal in a way that seemed to be discreditable. Ha is one of those men, howover, who can not be kept down. He has a strong hold upon the youog republicans of his stato and in all probability he will be a candidate for tbe first de.irablo office that becomae vacant. It is a source of satisfaction that be did uot get into the Senate. . A crank, who signed himeelf “A. B. .'{B,” wrote Jay Would a note Saturday inviting the "little wizard” to send him a few thou sand dollars or be blown to atoms by a hat full of dynamite thrown under his carriage. Mr. Gould has b ea receiving such letters for tea or a dozen years, but inasmuch as cranks aregrowing more and more danger out the matter was referred to the authori ties, ond "A B. 38” will probably get a call instead of a fortune. Death rodo the tornado that tore its path through Georgia and into South Carolina Wednesday. The Morning News told the story yesterday; and it was a story of terror and destruction throughout its whole length that could be road ouly with a feel ing of awe inspired by the wind’s womi drous power, aud pity for the unfortunates who happened to bo In Its path. Russell Sage was charged ?15 by tho druggist into whose store he was carried after Noreross’ attempt on his life, for drugs and bandages supplied. To an ordi nary citizen the charge would have been about $1 50. It is not stated whether or not tbe druggist had a bomb up bis sleeve when he demanded and n ceived payment. The pen may be mightier than tho sword, but the lead pencil is quite as deadly as the blade, under certain oircumstanoes. John Flannery of Ashland, Pa., fell on a pencil, which pierced his lung and lodged in the liver. It was at once removed, but particles of the lead were left in tbe wound, which will prove fatal to him. Tbe National Liberal Club of Loudon is in the midst of a controversy as to whether Artist Forbes’ picture of Mr. Gladstone, b:ing painted for tho club, shall or thall not have a fore-finger on the left baud.

OURRBNT COMMENT. Blaine’s Hemuriable Maornetism. From the Chicago Times ( Dem .). Warner Miller, he ot wood pulp and paper mill fame, may he lyinzdead outside the breast works, but i, is quite uotlceaole that when Blaine negotiates a reciprocity treaty it usually includes a stipulation in favor of American paper. When Harrison makes an enemy James G. Blaine is not slow to cultivate tho friendship of the affronted one. Wanamaker’3 Pension Schems. Front the New Orleans Times-Democrat (Dem.). If Wanamaker were to olear his skirts of that ugly suspicion whion fell upon him and *tiil lies against him ia connection with the peculiar transactions which Le usd with the fugitive ex president of the broken Keystone bank of Penn sylvania, it is just, possible that tbe employes of the postofflee department would show a little more confluence in h s projected scheme then at present they seem prepared to evince. Chile’s Position In the Quarrel. From the Pittsburg Dispatch (Rep.). Chile’s position is better than ours, in ’view of the well-known fact that tbo judicial inquiry into ths New Orleans riot was little better than a farce. Tbe Chilean authorities are proceeding with some show of sincerity toward the result of punishing some one—exactly the opposite to what has been reaohed in New Orleans. Those faots put the cry for war, apparently in ths laterest of contractors and promotion-hungry naval officers, ia its proper light. An Eminent Froo Trade Advocate. From the Louisville Courier-Journal. Free trade certainly oannot be treason or worse when we have Mr. Blaine as a historian d.-claring that free trade was beneficial from ISSO t> lv.o. and further insisting that ill this year of our Lord 18'JiJ we shall have free trade in hides with all tho world, and free trade in a groat many other articles with nations that are willing to take our goods in exchange If cheap shovel are a boon, cueap clothing cannot be a plague, if free trade with one nation is desira ble, free trade with another cannot be an un mitigated misfortune. Soma Choice Unintentional Sarcasm . FVooi the Pxttaburg Dispatch (Rep.). The dogs ot war booming the Jingo brand of journalism for the psat few wesks have now taking up thi task of writing down Secretary Blame, because he has ths temerity to use rational moans for reaching an understanding witu Chile. The capacity of this class for the employment of reason is suffloieutiy ranked by their prompt jump to the oonoiurion that, be cause r-eerstary Blaine prefers an honorable peace to an unreasonable war, he is untrue to public duty, and beqause he has consulted a gentleman of high standing with large South American Interest*, there is a job in it. The Trick cf the Trade. It waa Lis first visit to a manicuring establish ment. and he approached the young lady assist ant w irn an embarrassed mien, says the New York Commercial s4iirerfi*>. After making a ktuttering attempt to explain what he wai.tel he gave up in despair and helplessly bell out both Lands toward her. She waved him into the chair upon the opposite side of the little operat ing table and thrust his stub nailed digits into a bowl of scented water The situation in which he found himself was so idiotic that be ami ed. The young lady assistant smiled in return and he 'eg a a to fee* more at his ease. “Weil?*’ she quene i, picking up something that looked unpleasantly like a lancet. •;O f just fix ’em uo.” answered he of the stub nails, and if you can mike those fists of mine look any way decent, why go ahead, and darn the expense.” She fished his s taxless left out of the bowl and gased upon it critically. “Fists!” she exclaimed; “where did you get such an idea* That is the most aristocratic hand that I have ever manicured. ’ The owner of the article in question had always lived in the belief that it looked more like a ham than anything else, and Lis heart expanded beneath the benign rays of this un expected flutery. “Such delicacy of mold,” she continued, **is extremely unusual ” He blush-*! with con scious pride. “And,” she concluded, “if I were a palmist I should say that the lines of this hand indicate a strongly marked character.” Then see got to worx upon the nails, and during the ensuing twenty minutes the young man, by some mysterious mental process, veered around to the conviction that th re wai a great deal of hitherto unsuspected beauty in b*** grappling hooks of his. He had never gone in very extensively for gloves before, but when he left that manicuring female, he immediately purchased half a dozen pairs trial were intent! naliy a size too small. Of sunk are the vagaries of vanity. During the following week he visited a second manicure shop, and the young lady assistant made exactly three remarks. Tney were: “That is the mos* aristocratic hand that I have ever manicured;” “BucL delicacy of mold is extremely unusual,” and “If I were a palmist I should say that the lines of this hand indicate a strongly marked character.” He loft her with a de>ep, dark doubt In hla soul. Tho third manicurist that lie encountered said exactly the same things as the other two He threw away the gioves—they hurt his handf? anyway—an 1 for two weeks took care of his own finger nails. “It may have been a coincidence,” he re flected, fl’vtlly; “I’ll try another.” “That,” exclaimed the fourth, as she dropped .the big knuckie l left into the customary howl, ‘ m the most aristocratic hand that I have ever manicured. * “ Exactly,” he sighed, reaching for his hot. “ Such delicacy of mold is extremely unusual, and if you were a palmist you would say that the lines of this hand indicate a marked char acter ” He went wearily away, and now his nails are left to their own devices. If anybody suggests a manicure to him, he smile* sadly and reflectively ohauts the Stereo typed litany of the deceptive lady assistant. A Modern Heroine.

A celebrated German physiolan, says the Chi cago .Yen*, was once called upoa to treat an aristocratic ladv, the sole cause of whose com plaint was high living and lack of exercise. But it would never do to tell her so, so his medical advice ran thus: “Arise at 5 o'clock, take a walk in tbe park for one hour, then drink a cup of tea: then walk another hour and takoa cup of chocolato. Take breakfast at 8.” Her condition imoroved visibly, until one fine morning the carriage of the baroness was seen to approach tbe puysioian's residence at light ning speed. The patient dashed up to the doctor’s office and on his appearing ea the scone she gasped out: “O, doctor, I took the chocolate first!" “ Then drive home as fast you can," ejacu lated the astute disciple or .'Esculapiris, rapidly writing a prsserption, "and take this emetic. The tea must be underneath." Tire grateful patient compiled. She is still improving. Couldn’t Vots fir a “Bad Shot."

The popular notion is that the bird produce® the noise by striking his wings against his hard, fat thirhs.

The balloon, the glass vessel snd the bag of salts are then sunken and attached to whatever the ex perimenters wish raised to the surface. By turning a screw the glass vessei containing the acid is broken, ths substances mix ond tho carbonic acid gas thu generated fills tk balloon, whiod. of coitree, oxsrts aa elevating force upon whatever the balloon Is at tached to. In the Plotzen lake a small boat weighing some 1.4(f) pounds, wae first sunk. A direr went down with the apparatus, attached It to the boat and set it in operation. Hardly was t-hia done before the bast appeared at the surface, held firmly by the balloon. In making a second experiment five heavy sandbags were thrown overboard in water 50 feet deep The diver again went down, attached the saadhags to each other, and than to the raising appara tus, whereupon ths whole was successfully brought up. Wreckers are highly elated with the success of this new mode or raising sunken vessels and other objects.
