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

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.

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

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

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

which pierced his lung and lodged in the

of the lead were left in tbe wound, which
will prove fatal to him.

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

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

bowl of scented water
The situation in which he found himself was

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.

She fished his s taxless left out of the bowl

“Fists!” she exclaimed; “where did you get

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

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

Tho third manicurist that lie encountered
said exactly the same things as the other two
He threw away the gioves—they hurt his

his own finger nails.
“It may have been a coincidence,” he re

“That,” exclaimed the fourth, as she dropped
.the big knuckie l left into the customary howl,

“ Exactly,” he sighed, reaching for his hot.
“ Such delicacy of mold is extremely unusual,

He went wearily away, and now his nails are

Suddenly stje drew her lithe form erect, her

“Whv did 1 not think of it three davs ago?”

She appeared no moro lor three Roars. Then
she hastened out into the busy streets and was

Deep gloom had settled upon the Everaleigh

A Shrewd Doctor.
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.

“Can’t do it. Bill."
"Tear ars’t no better man than Bam. von

“Sam's a good enough man in some respects
Bill, but he's a bad skot with a rifle." ’
"What's that got to do with it?"
"A good deal. His bad Bbootin’ is tbe cause
of me bein' broke up. You know he shot at.
that deputy marshal last yea- from the bush v ”
"Yes."
“Well, he missed him. The marshal cum

Wuxi am Hamilton Gibson, who is a trained
observer of plants and animals, satisfied him
wslf Komt time ago that a rooster makes the
flapping noise that accompanies hi* crowing by
striking his wings together over bin hack, savs
tee Chicago Post. The popular notion is that
the bird produce® the noise by striking his wings
against his hard, fat thirhs. Mr. Gibson dis
cussed the subject with a farmer once, and the
latter laughed at the artist’s idea and said:
“I've been brought up among chicxeas, and I
guess I Know how a rooster flaps his wings.”
”\ery good.’ said Mr. Gibbon, “but just watch
your own fowl for a woek, and tell me what you
tbluk then.” The sc rnful farmer promised,
and returned at the end of the week with the
humb e confession that Mr. Gibson was right.

IN the Plotzen lake, near Berlin, Germany,
which is of cnosideraole depth (iu some places
as much a-s eijhtv feati. an interesting experi
ment ha* been made in the raistag of sunken
vessels b) means of balloons charged with
carbonic acid gas. The method, which is de
scribed below, is the Invention of Herr Bidner
of Vienna The Herman Scientific Experi
menting society gives tilts description of the
learned professons contrivance: A glass ve*-
sol filled with sulphuric acid Is placed in a bag
which is filled with Builrioh'g salt*, the whole
a(ter.variie placed In the balloon proper. 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.
