Stiver Legislation Improbable.
It is announced from Washington that
arrangements for an international bimet
talic currency conference have been com
pleted, and that the cor fere nos will be held
at ac early day. It Is understood that this
country, Eogjand, France and Germany
will take part in it. If this announcement
is true it is probable that there will bs no
further attempt at silver legislation during
tbe present session of congress.
At the conference of tbe democratic mem
bers of congress Thursday night on tbe
silver queetion no conclusion was reached.
It was stated, however, that a majority of
those present were in favor of passing a
bill authorizing tbe free coinage of silver.
But if this country and the leading com
mercial countries of Europe are to have a
conference relative to silver coinage it
would be Impoetlble probably to get a ma
jority of the members of tbe House to
agree to consider a free coinage silver bill
before the result of that conference was
known.
The silver question is a troublesome one
to both the Democratic and Republican
parties, and both would like to have it
taken out of politics. There is no proba
bility, of course, that the Republican party
would passa free silver coinage bill.al though
there are republican congressmen who
would vote for such a bill if there should he
an opportunity to do so, and the Democratic
party has nothing to gain and a great deal
to lose by putting itself in the position of
favoring such a bill.
Tbe debate at the canons of the demo
cratic congressmen Thursday night was an
interesting one, and indicated that demo
cratic opposition to any silver legislation at
this session of congress was very strong.
The member of the caucus who made tbe
speech that attracted the most attention
said that no democrat in the present con
gress bad been elected to pass a free silver
coinage bill. All of them, be said, had
been elected on the tariff reform Issue.
There was uo obligation, therefore, resting
on the Democratic party to pass a free sil
ver coinage bill.
Coupled with the announcement relative
to a conference is a statement that England
has begun to realize that her interests re
quire that there shall be some agreement of
the leading commercial countries that will
give silver greater stability in the markets
of the world. While she may not be will
ing to be a party to an agreement that
would be wholly satisfactory to this coun
try, there are reasons for thinking that she
would readily take a position much more
advanced than the one she now occupies.
It is not probable that a conference would
meet with any opposition from congress.
Even those who are tbe strongest advooates
of free eilver ooinage are likely to give it
their approval, because more is to be ex
pected from It in behalf of silver than from
oongress. And the democratic congressmen
who favor free silver ooinage ought to re
joice at the prospect that a conference
promises for the settlement of tbe silver
question, beoause that question, although It
is certain that no bill authorizing the free
ooinage of silver will become a law as long
as Gen. Harrison is President, is a very
bothersome one to the Democratic party.
One of the Delegatee.
The Morning News has several times
called attention to the faet that a good
many of those who are soeking prominence
in tho third party movement are not, there
is reason is to think, so profoundly in
terested in tbe country’s welfare as they are
in acquiring prominenoe with the vie# of
getting an office. It is doubtful if they
have auy fixed political principles or a clear
idea of the demand* which are tbe basis of
the third party movement.
One of the delegates to the St. Louis con
ference was the Rev. J. L. Gilmore. He is
a third party boomer of Tattnall county, in
this state. He directed attention to himself
in the confersnoo by insisting that a colored
delegate should be recognized in the distri
bution of offtoee in that body. He is quite
well known hers in Bavaunah, where, a few
yean ago, he was pastor of the Seaman's
Bethel. He was also quite prominent as an
advocate of temperance. His conduct was
not wholly satisfactory to the managers of
the bethel and he took his departure.
When next beard of he was an alliance
and third party man in Tattnall county.
Being a ready talkor be seems to have made
so favorable an Impression there that he
was sent to the St. Louis conference as a
delegate.
He is one of a class of men who are al
ways at tbe fore in movements which have
grievances for their basis. He is an English
man, and at one lime was a sailor. It does
not seem to be unjust to say that the third
party in Tattnall county Js pretty hard-up
for representative men if he is the beet of
them.
An Indiscreet Parson.
The presbytery of Morris and Orange,
N. J., Friday found the Rev. Arthur Cush
ing Dill guilty of using language inconsist
ent with the character of n minister of the
gospel. The New York papers for several
months have contained a good deal about
the Rev. Mr. Dill. Re is a young bachelor,
and, from all accounts, a pretty gay one.
He doesn’t appear to be vicicus or bad or dis
posed to do anybody any harm. He is simply
a bright young fellow who doesn’t seem
to have a great abundance of religion or to
be overstocked with common sense. His great
mistake was made probably when he de
cided to become a minister of the gospel. A
good many men make a mistake of that
kind. They are not fitted for the sacred
calling iif a religious teacher, and they have
no just appreciation of its duties and re
sponsibilities. They do not seem to realize
that they are to oonduct themselves so as to
be an example to their fellow mon, and
that by the impression they make upon
those with whom they come in contact
they can do almost as much good as they
oan by their teachings from the pulpit.
The Rev. Mr. Dill talked a great deal too
much about his experiences in worldly
qjfairs, and he appears to have regarded
making love to the pretty girls of his con
gregation as pleasant pastime. He aroused
the jealousy and inourrod the enmity of
some of .the young men of the town and
tbev made trouble for him.
What the vardiot in the Rev. Mr. Dill’s
oase will be Is not yet known, but it will
probably put au end to his career as a min
ister. It ought to. The pulpit is not the
place for a trifler. The work of saving
souls and teaching people to leal pure lives
is a serious one, and only those who are
deeply religious and profoundly in earnest
should engage in it.
The Nicaragua canal scheme is gradually
becoming interesting and getting tbe finan

THE MORNING NEWS; SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1892--TWELYE PAGES.
A Relic of the Old Regime.
The death of Josephus Woodruff, which
occurred in Philadelphia on Feb. 22, re
moves one of the most widely known actors
in ths reconstruction tragedy in South
Carolina. Woodruff was clerk of the state
Senate and manager of the Republican
Printing Company during “ihe days of
good stealing,'’ and managed, by sundry
schemes conceived and executed without
regard to conscience, to “feather bis nest”
in a very comfortable manner.
Among the publications of the state is a
book popularly known as the "Fraud
Book,” which oontalns the report of tbe
legislative committee appointed under the
Hampton administration in 1877 to investi
gate the rasoality perpetrated by the car
pet-bag gang, who infested tbe state from
the close of the war to <676. In this book
there are some very spicy revelations
affecting moo who are now regarded
as exemplary business men, and
there is no part of tbs reoord more highly
spiced than the testimony of Josephus
Woodruff. He bought votes, engineered all
kinds of bills tbrough the legislature for a
consideration, helped in the negotiation of
state bonds, dispensed public patronage and
got a drawback on payments, controlled tbe
state printing and advertising, and was
generally a big man in the councils of the
powers. When the frauds on the state were
investigated and a number of lawsuits
against the guilty officials instituted, Wood
ruff managed by some means to slip through
the fingers of the law, and went north.
He was a newspaper man, a bright fellow
and a rascal; but be had a contempt for the
rascals who were not bright. He kept a
diary during the time be was dealing out
official favors in return for cash, and some
of the entries therein are real character
studies. Flashes of wit and humor
are sandwiohed between the en
tries denoting the payment of certain
•mounts of money to certain senators or
representatives as a bribe for their votes on
designated measures then pending, or to se
oure their favor for bond issues or other
schemes. Frequently he would add a note
In parentheses to such entries, commenting
on tbe rapacity,of tho payee, and wondering
when he would ever be satisfied. The hu
mor of this is apparent when it is remem
bered that the diarykeeper’s appetite for
boodle was insatiable.
For Franklin J. Moses, onoe governor of
the state, and lately a notable prisoner in
tbe Massachusetts penitentiary, Woodruff
entertained a feeling of mingled pltv and
oontempt. He knew Mosee to be a weak
ling, a pliant tool in the hands of hit shrewd
cohorts, and in his diary frequently alluded
to him in that strain.
Woodruff’s death will not “cast a gloom”
over South Carolina. He was a oelebrity
to a oertaiu extent, but not the kind that
Carolinians mourn.
Gould’s Good Example.
There is an old proverb whloh eays,
“Never look a gift horse in tbe mouth.”
The Rev. Mr. Parkhurst, of New York, who
created a sensation some two weeks ago by
denounoing tbe city government of New
York, has disregarded this proverb. Ho
objects to tho Presbyterian churoh receiv
ing Mr. Jay Gould's SIO,OOO gift because be
is not satisfied as to the manner in which
Mr. Gould became possessed of the money.
To speak plainly it is not Mr. Parkhurst’s
affair where Mr. Gould got the money so
long as bo is not charged with stealing it.
Mr. Gould obtained it, beyond a doubt, by
means regarded by the law and by society
as legitimate. A sentimentalist goes too
far when he imputes wrong doing to a man
simply because that man has the reputation
of being a shrewd trader and speculator.
Suppose Mr. Parkhurst should institute
an inquiry concerning evory dollar that
goes into the treasury of his church? Such
investigation would probably disclose that
his chief revenue is derived from people who
■peculate In some shape, and it is not im
probable that a number of dollars drawn
from the liquor trade, and other! dollars
from sources quite as objectionable to the
reverend gentleman, would be found.
Mr. Gould’s SIO,OOO will do as much for
church extension as any SIO,OOO ever coined,
and should be just as welcome in a church
fund as the dollars of George W. Childs or
anybody else.
John D. Rockefeller on Thursday gave
$1,000,000 to the Chicage University—a
splendid example of well-directed philan
thropy. And Mr. Gould's example in be
stowing a princely sum upon the church is
just as valuable in the effect it will have in
influencing other subscriptions to the same
fund, not to mention the lntrinsio value of
the gift.
Instead of questioning the propriety of
aocepting Mr. Gould’s benefaction, Mr.
Parkhurst and his church should hasten to
express gratification at the good example
set by Mr. Gould for the guidance of other
millionaires.

America's Blggen Hotel.
Here's a steamship tale from the Boston
Globe:
Coming across last time there was on board a
middle aged Scotchman, for many years a resi
dent in the stales, but who had been e year
visiting bie relatives in Scotland. He was ex
asprratingly well Informed, too. regarding
everything American, as I bad ample evidence,
but tbe year be bad been away was “all my
own."
So after a couple of mild yarns. I started in
one night after dinner, not addressing him, of
course, but a frieDd, with whom I exchanged a
ponderous wink
"Smltners." quoth I, "have you heard of the
San Jacinto?”
•’No.” said be. “What's it l’ke?"
“Why, it’s that new big hotel out in Califor
nia." said I. "Dining room 400 feet long
kitchen ditto—lmmense distances waiters all
on noiseless roller skates- palatial affair,” I
rattled on.
I threw a glance at the Scotchman. He fairly
bristled with an odd look of disbelief. He
hadn't heard of it. of course, but didn't have
nerve eaough to break in, being uncertain
where the fact stopp-nl and fancy began.

say. A doft swish of the net. a little flounder
ing. and tbe salvi r disappears kitefienward.
"You walk in, set down, nibble • hot roll and
sip your coffee slowly, meanwhile glancing over
tbe oa tiers.
• Ten minutes elapse and a waiter copies
swiftly skimming up the long vista. He stops
at your table. You lift the cover. There lie;
your pickerel, done to a turn.”
By this time a man on my right had caught
on He heaved a sigh, and said:
"Yes, that's so. Dreadful expensive, though.
But wasn't the revolving veranda a beauty?”
Thus encouraged, I sailed in again.
"But the most wonderful thing of all are the
musical soup plates. Fact! Mad-- in Europe
somewhere—perfectly unique and original
nothing like them anywhere."
The Scotchman couldn't suppress the snort of
incredulity he r.ow gave.
“Great chance for nice discrimination.” I
went on. "You see, they play different tunes,
and one day they made a blunder and the
Chicago mac's plate played Wagner and a Bos
ton man got ‘Annie Rooney,’ and there was an
awful row."
But now I had an experienced ally in the
usually veracious oaptaiu, who came into tbe
conversation with: "Yes, that's a fact about
those Antwerp plates. They were brought over
in this very vessel, and I remember them well,
because of the terrible time they had getting
through the custom house."
"Yos," I said, "that’s a wonderful place, the
San Jacinto—something that every one ought to
sse—nothing ever like it before.”
■'Well," said the Scotchman solemnly, “I’m
glad you like the pines so well. I built It,"
The crowd collapsed.
s
He Wrs no Muff.
Tbe other day a well-dressed man sat In a
Boulevard car going uptown, says tho New
York Herald. The day was oold, the car was
full and the usual discomforts of surface tran
sit were turned on. The man mentioned was
toe observed of all observers. He carried a
common black muff on bis knee, bis hands
thrust In either end and had a far away look in
his eyes. The todies exchanged amused glances.
Tbe gentlemen regarded the muff with various
degrees of wonder and contempt.
•‘Newest style," suggested one gentleman to
another.
“Yes; It’s going to be n cold day to-morrow.
When you sea the pigs carrying straws
"That beats me!" came in a stage whisper
from across the way.
“Wonder if he wears corsets?” said another.
“What is It, anyhow?
“Sorry I forgot my muff."
“I’ll steal my w:fe's sealskin saoque to
night "
■‘Poor fellow! Somebody ought to see him
home safely."
Amid those remarks the man with the muff
sat quietly looking out of the window. Ho must
have overheard some of them—he must have
known that he was the obj* ct of universal cu
riosity and ridicule, but gave no sign. It ap
peared, however, that he was only collecting
himself for some final effort, for when he arose
to leave the car at Seventy-second street he
suddenly oonfronted bis fellow passengers.
"This is my wife's muff,’' he said bluntly.
“She left it on the bargain counter. I had to go
back and get it. I'm taking it home. If you
see anything funny in that I’m darned if I do.”
Feeling the Public Pulse.
Senator Brice is engaged just now in feeling
the public pulse. He hag found out enougii
within the past ten days to convince him that
there is no diplomacy in permitting the people
to believe he is favorable to David B. Hill’s
oandklacy. His interview on this subject
printed in the World caused a decided sensa
tion and brought the senator several hundred
additional letters in his big hatch of mail.
Th senator, by the way, never fails to answer
a letter. The story Is told of him that sonic
•into ago an angry constituent, displeased with
Brice's action in a certain matter, sent him a
postal card, on which was the single line, in a
large, round hand:
“I think you are an unmitigated jackass.”
The senator’s secretary was about to throw it
into the waste basket when his employer *tajed
his hand and dictated his customary form of
acknowledgment:
“My Dear Sir—Your favor of the 10th instant
at hand. Its contents have been carefully noted
and will receive early attention. Very truly
yours, etc.”
¥he Lovely Miss Lelter.
The lovely Miss Lelter, says the New York
Recorder, who has been a feature of the dog
show for two days, is a vory tall, willowy sort
of girl, with eyes that catch yours aud a manner
that catches every one.
When tlie Leiters first appeared in Washing
ton society they were greatly boomed by tbe
apiwaranee of tfieir daughter, though she wasn't
half so beautiful then as now.
They were somewhat sot back though by the
weird utterances of Mrs. Loiter, who was a per
fect specimen of the .Mrs. Malaprop as any
woman who ever turned up at tho capital
On one occasion, in speaking to Count Sala of
the French legation, she said: ‘‘You’re an
etagere of legation, ain’t you?” presumably
moaning attacne. And half a dozen other little
slip-ups of the same character.
Yet there's not the least doubt that M tss Leiter
will make a good match, for a half dozen if the
finest dudes in Washington and Now York are
at her feet, to sav nottiing of a half score or so
of foreigners laid low.
Waiting.
John Burroughs.
Serene I fold my hands and wait,
Nor c ire for wind, nor tide, nor sea;
I rave no more ’gatust. time or fate.
For lo! my own shall come to me.
I stay my haste, I make delays,
For what avails tais eager Deace ?
I stand amid the eternal ways,
And what is mine shall snow my face.
Asleep, awake, by night or day,
The friends I seek are soeking me;
No wind can drive my bark astray,
Nor change the tide of destiny.
What matter if I stand alone ?
I wait with joy the coming years;
My heart shall reap where it has sown,
Aud garner up its fruit of tears.
The waters know their own, and draw
The brook that springs in yonder bights;
So flows the goad with equal law
Unto the soul of pure delights.
Y’on floweret nodding In the wind
Is ready plighted to the bee;
Aud, maiden, why that look unkind ?>
For lo ! thy lover seekoth thee.
The stars come nightly to the sky,
The tidal wave unto the sea;
Nor time, nor space, nor deep, nor high,
Can keep my own away from me.

Lemon.
The lemon which yields the
finest flavor is grown in Sic
ily, an island in the Mediter
ranean. It is from the flavor
ing principle extracted from
the rind of this fruit that Dr.
Price prepares his Delicious
Flavoring Extract of Lemon.
While other lemon extracts
in the market have the taste
and odor of turpentine. Dr.
Price’s Extract has its in
tense lemony taste and smell
and this is due to the fine
quality of fruit from which
it is made.
ITi£MS OF INTEREST.
Gold and precious stones as medical remedies
were once largely used by the rich. A Queen of
Franee, consultin r her physician in 1420, secured
the following prescription: “.Mneeightteths
of an ounce of omeralds, five-eightieths of an
ounce of Alexandria rubies, and Are-eightieths
of announce of jacinths mixed with a ducat of
(fold.” The gold and precious stones were re
duced to the form of powder and prepared with
honey.
An animal growing between the high and low
water marks on the Japanese coast is a mud
worm called Sabella. it occupies a hard limy
tube of its own making, and gets its food, when
the high tide comes up over Its hiding place, by
thrusting out a head bushy with tentacles, and
sucking in currents of water loaded with minute
particles of nutriment. Out of this wriggling
creature the shore people make a soup, which
is true vermicelli, not a paste imitation of “little
worms!" and is said to taste as badly as it
amelia
After a fair translation of ita old French
body, “aver," into English, only “horse" Is
found, and the word becomes "horsage." The
change tends to confusion, but none the less,
‘'horsage" and “average" are identical, since in
the old time French an "aver 1 ' was horse. It
tvas also a horse in the Scotch dictionaries, and
in one of Burns' poems, "A Dream," he alludes
to a horse as a "noble aiver.V In olden times in
Europe a tenant was bound to do certain work
for the lord of the manor—largely in carting
grain and turf—horaework, and in the yearly
settlement of accounts the just proportion of
the large and small work performed was esti
mated according to the work done by “avers"
(horses); hence our common word ‘ 'average. ”
In a German engineering journal a writer
contrasts the behavior of different animals to
ward steam machinery thus: The ox, tht
proverbially stupid animal, stands composedly
on the track of a railway without having any
idea of the danger that threatens him: dogs
run among the wheels of a department railway
train without suffering any injury, and birtfs
seem to take a particular delight in the steam
engine. I.arks often build their nesta and rear
their young under the switches of a rail way over
which heavy trains are constantly rolling, and
swallows make their home in engine houses. A
pair of swallows have reared their young for a
year in a mill where a noisy 300-horse power
engine is working night and day, and another
pair have built a nest in the paddle box of a
steamer.
There is a great deal of character in the mus
tache. As the form of the upper lip and the
regions about it has largely to do with the feel
ings, pride,-self-reliance, manliness, vanity and
other qualities that give self-control, the mus
tache is connected with the expression of those
qualities or the reverse. When the mustache is
ragged, and, as it were. Ayiug hither and
thither, ttiere is a lack of proper self-control.
When it is straight and orderly the reverse is
the case, other things of course taken into ac
count. If there is a tendency to curl at the
outer ends of the mustache there is a tendency
to ambition, vanity and display. When the
curl turns upward there is geniality combined
with love of approba-ion, when the inclination
is downward there is a more sedate turn of
mind, not accompanied with gloom. It i
worthy of remark that good-natured men will
in playing with the mustache Invariably give it
an upward inclination, whereas cross-grained or
morose men will pull it obliquely dqwuward.
The will suit of Parnell Vs. Wood and others,
which w ill be tried early next month, says the
Liverpool Courier, will be vorv cestly litigation
if one can judge from the feds marked on the
briefs which have just been delivered. The at
torney general and Sir Charles Russell will each
receive >OO guineas, and 202 guineas for resiling
the massive pile of papers In the case. The
solicitor general ha3 marked on bis brief 600
guineas, and 200 guineas for reading, while fees
of the same costly character will be given to
Sir Henry Janies. Q C.; Mr. Inderwick, Q. C.;
Mr. Bayford, Q. O.; Lewis. Coward, Tindal At
kinson, and Mr. Barnard, ail of whom are to
appear in the action. Sir Charles Russell
represents Mrs Parnell, the plaintiff, who, un
der the last will of her aunt, Mrs. Maria Wood,
is left sole legatee, the amount in dispute being
about £200,000. The case will be tried by Sir
Charles Butt and a special jury, and is expected
to occupy at least a fortnight. The defense
relied upon is undue influence. One of the in
terveners is Capt. O'Shea and another is Mrs.
Steele, the plaintiff's sister,
The great Chinese river, which, rising in the
mountains of Thibet, drains nearly 715,000 square
miles of country ar.d flows for 8,200 miles before
reaching the sea, has a special Interest attached
to it at present from the tact that its banks are
the scenes of many riots and massacres of Eu
ropeans within the last few months. The higher
reaches of the river, above Chungking, nave,
been seldom seen by Europeans, and what in
formation we have about them is mainly de
rived from tne Jesuit priests and missionaries,
who have for many years been spreading far
ther and farther Into the iuterior. The lower
reaches, however, are thoroughly well known,
and for 000 miles up, as far as Hankow, every
mile of the river is almost as familiar to Euro
peans out there as the Tham -8 is to us at home,
says the London tilatte. Owing to the wonder
ful abundance of water in the river, sea going
steamers are, during certain months in the
year, able to get right up to Hankow; aud when
the river is low communication is kept up by a
splendid line of steamers, very similar in size
and build to those plying on the river. The
navigation of the lower Yangtse is without
doubt the most wonderiul piece of pilotage in
the world, as it is COO miles long, and passes
through innumerable shoals, which are continu
ally shifting. The pilots have to be very many
years on the river before they can be properly
qualified to take large ocean steamers through
suc.i an intricate water way, especially as the
cargroes of thrsa vessels are invariably of im
mense value aud in the season quick dispatch
and absence of delay is every thing. The
junks, while passing up and down the
river, have topay“likiu" dues to the differ
ent viceroys whose provinces they pass through;
aud in case any attempt is made to evade the
extortion they soon find themselves chased by
the little armed gunboats, which are always
lying in wait at the "liltin'' stations. From
Hinkiang to Hankow the country becomes very
flat, and in the season of flood
it is nothing short of marvelous to
see the enormous extent of country under flood.
Although over 500 miles, from the sea. the
water reaches in some places to the horizon on
both sides, and junks sail over what a month
before was a green cultivated tract of country.
Navigation at these times is extremely diffi
cult, but so experienced are the pilots that a
mishap is almost nnknown, in spite of the fact
that a few isolated clumps of trees or mounds
are the only leading marks for them to steer
by.
