Cleveland’s Letter to Brafrg.
The letter of Mr. Cleveland to Gen.
Bragg, published in the Mousing News
yesterday, is an admirable one. It
shows that whue he Is willing to accept the
nomination for President he is not seeking
It, and will not seek it. He believes that
the office of President is such an exalted
one, an l its responsibilities so great, that
the people should be entirely free in making
a choice of their party candidates through
their regular party organizations.
It has been stated quite frequently within
the last few weeks that Mr. Cleveland
would write a letter announcing that he
would not be a candidate for the nomina
tion before the national convention. From
what he writes to Gen. Bragg it U evident
that he has no intention of making such an
announcement. If the Democratic party
wants him for Its presidential candidate he
is willing to serve it in that position, but
he places himself on record as being op
posed to seeking the nomination, He has a
reoord with which the whole country is
familiar. Upon all the great public ques
tions he has spoken clearly and
emphatically. There Is no doubt as to
where he Btandt with regard to any national
issue, and the people would know what to
expect of him should they make him Presi
dent again.
It Is true the democracy of New York has
not chosen a delegation in bis interest, but
there is no doubt thai if he shmjld be nom
inated the Democratic party of that state
would give him just as strong a support as
it would Senator Hill. Mr. Gilroy, a Tam
many leader and a strong Hill man,
in an interview published in the
Mobnino News yesterday, said that
it Mr. Cleveland should be nominated
Tammanv would stand squarely by him,
aDd do all it could to secure his eleotlon. He
said, also, that New York would cast her
electoral vote for the nominee of the Demo
cratic party, whoever he might be.
That Tammauy prefers Senator Hill, and
will do all it can to have him nominated,
there is no donbt, but if it sees, when the
national convention assemble, there isn’t
m uch prospect of his nomination, it will
not insist that he shall be the nominee. Mr.
Cleveland has many friends among its
members and very strong ones. It could,
therefore, without any apparent reluctance,
avor his nomination, and would do so,
doubtless, under the oirouin stances indi
cated.
It will soon be known what the drift of
the sentiment In the party is, because a
good many state conventions will be held In
the near future. And from the tendency
that is cropping out to instruct delegations
It is probable that it will be possible to say
who the nominee will be quite awhile before
the meeting of the convention.
The Alabama Factions.
The war between the two factions of the
Democratic party of Alabama shows no di
minution of bitterness. It would not be of
much consequence outside of the state If
it were certain that the defeated faction
would acquiesce in the decision reached at
the primaries. The indications now are,
however, that if the Kolbites are beaten
they will run Kolb as an independent can
didate for governor.
Gov. Jones has made a good chief execu
tive and is entitled to a renomination. The
admirers of Kolb, however, do not think be
was fairly beaten in the last oampalgn for
the gubernatorial nomination, and they are
so bitter against Gov. Jones that If be car
ries off the nomination again they may be
come merged in the third party.
Primaries have been held in quite a num
ber of the counties, and thus fur Gov. Jones
has nearly a third more delegates than Mr.
Kolb. It looks, therefore, as if he would
have a majority of the nominating conven
tion.
There Is some comfort in the thought,
howevpr, that the state election occurs In
August. If the party should be divided at
that time it might get together before the
national election in November. It would
be regrettable if the differences of the
factions growing out of state issues should
prevent them from uniting in support of
the national democratic ticket.
What Was the Purpose of it?
Tho story sent over the country Sunday
night from Atlanta, that it was said in
that oity on "undoubted authority” that
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad had ac
quired a controlling interest In tho Rich
mond Terminal Company, does not appear
to have had any foundation whatever. The
story was published in the Constitution
Sunday morning as a special from New
York, but nobody iu New York appear!
to know that the Baltimore and Ohio ever
thought of buying the control of the
Richmond Terminal, or of wanting to con
trol it The president of the Baltimore
and Ohio says that his company has never
even thought of purchasing the stock of
the Richmond Terminal.
It is not strange that such a story should
be printed in Atlanta as coming from New
York, but it is strange that "undoubted
authority” for the story should be found in
Atlanta. The place to And such “undoubted
authority” would be Baltimore or New
York, but a diligent search failed to find it
there.
There must have been some purpose in
publishing so unreasonable a story? What
was it! As far es now known the Btory was
pure fiction. It had uo basis whatever.
But it hardly seems probable that any one
would make up such a story without having
some object to accomplish. Who is the
author of the story ? Let him state where
he got it. Let the public know wbat sort
of “undoubted authority” justified sending
it over the country from Atlanta.
Justice Divver, of New York city, held
oourt for a few uiiuutes Tuosday morning

tion from the prosecuting witness in order

of Pennsylvania, for the delivery of

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, MARCH 16, 1892.
Work on tba New Navy.
The fact that the naval appropriation bill
reported to the House oo Mo nday carries
only #23.738,523, about *1514,881 lees than
the naval appropriation bill reported at the
second session of the last congress, does not
indicate an intention to stop work on the
new navy. On the contrary, the building
of the navy ie to be continued. The naval
committee, however, does not believe in ap
propriating more money for new ships than
can be used, and it seems that it is impossi
ble to get the armor plates for the armored
ships already ordered before 18&L The na
val committee says, in its report, that it is
in favor of voting all the money necessary
to complete the ships that are now being
constructed, and it considers it advisable
to build eight or nine battleships in addition
to those now in the hands of the builders.
There are three of these partly completed
ships, but there bos been no delay in their
construction for want of money. There is
a large amount of the appropriation made
by the last congress that is unexpended.
The naval committee Is of the opinion
that another cruiser like the New York—a
commerce destroyer it is called—should be
built as soon as possible. Vessels of this
kind would be of immense value in the
event of trouble with a nation having a
large merchant marine.
There is very little opposition to the ap
propriation of money for the new navy,
though the opinion prevails to a very con
siderable extent that so many improvements
in the construction of war vessels are being
made that it would not be wise to push for
ward the construction of the new navy as
if there was an urgent necessity for it.
Some of the costliest of the armored
ships of European nations are
said to be failures and virtually worthless.
However, this country cannot afford to be
without a navy sufficient for any emer
gency than is likely to arise. A strong
navy is a great help In the settlement of In
ternational questions.
The Irony of Protection.
The Pennsylvania iron mills will furnish
an interesting object lesson illustrating
how “protection” protects the working
man. Several mills have shut down this
week, and others have oartailed their work
ing forces until in tho city of Pittsburg
alone about 1,000 men have been thrown
out of work. Home of the mills olaim to
have been forced Into the action taken on
account of lack of orders, but the majority
of them—notably, tho works of Carnogio,
Phipps & Cos., at Homestead —discharged
the men merely as a matter of retrench
ment They have plenty of orders ahead,
and the lack of work had nothing to do
with the wholesale discharges. The Idea
probably, was to make the men retained in
the works “double up” and turn out enough
work to make up for the loss of the labor
of the men thrown out.
Carnegie's contributions to tho repub
lican campaign corruption funds keep
him in good standing with the
people who have government and other
contracts to “give out," and his mills are
always busy. He is making steel castings
for the United States war and navy de
partments and Airing orders for the manu
factures of iron and steel that are the most
highly protected by the McKinley tariff.
But bis workmen reap none of the benefit.
They voted to keep in power the men who
howl about “ American wagesfor American
workmen," and now that the voting is done,
the workmen fall victims to monopolistic
greed—their names are dropped from the
pay rolls In the interest of “retrenchment,”
otherwise the monopolists' pockets. A re.
duction of the wages of the remaining work
men In the Carnegio mills or an increase of
their working hours would surp rise nobody,
not even the slaves of protection themselves.
I)r. C. H. Park hurst, pastor of the Madi
son Avenue Presbyterian churob. New
York city, who about a month ago startled
his fiock and fellow townsmen by a scath
ing denunciation of Tammany Hall from
his pulpit, has been "at it again.” His
formar attack on the city government, and
the subsequent events in connection there
with, have been detailed in tho Morning
News. Last Sunday he “repeated tho dose”
with the addition of a dash of vitriol to the
potion. He had been “slumming” since his
former sermon, and declared he had evi
dence to prove that Tammany was a great
organization of crime, and that a “Tam
many maintained hell” existed in the city.
To sav that vice was not munioipally pro
tected, he declared ‘ ‘rot.”
Mr. Gould denies indignantly that be con
cluded not to go to Mexico because he feared
he would be captured by Garza and held
for a ransom. And, indoed, reason backs
up Mr. Gould’s assertion. The Mexican
government has offered $1500,000 for the capt
ure of Garza; if Mr. Gould oould persuade
the bandit to kidnap him and take him to his
lair, tho ex-land surveyor would have little
trouble iu making a map of the surround
ings and trails leading thereto. Then, hav
ing purchased his liberty for $50,000 to
SIOO,OOO, Mr. Gould could return tu civili
zation, summons a nosse of bis railroad
employes (without extra pay), capture
Garza and come out anywhere from $200,-
000 to $250,000 ahead of the game.

extreme, and Mr. Hoyt urges farmers and

A Story of A. T. Stawart.
“I was Interested." said a Nassau street
lawyer, to the New York Times, "in the story
that was printed last Sunday about Stewart’s,
the story that told how a Harlem woman got
a carpet for nothing because tbs bookkeeper In
sisted tht the had paid for It. I oan tell a story
of the other sort about Stewart. The Harlem
woman got a present; I gave one."
“I was a young lawyer at the time, about a*
poor ma vMtera borne missionary. I bad to
I< L&° Stewart’* to take bis signature to an
amaaTit. He signed and I swore him; then he
wished to know how much there was to pay. In
view of what took place afterward, lam iusti
fled, I think, in saving that what Mr. Stewart
expected me to say when he asked ‘How much?’
was ‘O, that's all right.' ”
! J didn't say that; I said *75 cents.’ **
I; ** hat?” shouted Mr. Stewart
m ‘J event y Q*© cents,’ I answered again.
. I won’t pay it,’ said he. ’You've no right
to a*k so much. The price is a Btailling. and
that's all I'll give you ’
•*‘But, Mr Stewart,’ I replied, ’a shilling is
the price when you come to nay offloe. I’ve
come to your store and I've a right to charge
for my car fare and a reasonable amount for
my time. Seventy five cents is really a very

*’l got angry then. I gave him one look, with
which I intended to convey the idea that I held
him in contempt. Then I said: Mr. Stewart,
you are a poor man and I’m a rich one. Twenty
five cents is nothing to me and 75 cents is a
fortune to you. I’ll make you a present of that

The Negro’s Humor.
‘‘Among the old-time negroes in the region
that we have been considering was much of a
humor very interesting,” says Col. Richard M.
Johnston on “Middle Georgia Rural Life,” in
The Century for March. ‘Their speech, by con
stant contact with the white man's, which it
sought to imitate, had a curtness and vivacity
never heard on large seaboard and river planta
tions. In the lightness of the negro’s heart,
with an imagination that never sought to be
curbed, his words and his deportment often had
a fun as racy as any lover of that article rea
sonably could wish to see. Even bis complain
ings, oftener than otherwise, were put forth
with a resentment so peculiar as to provoke as
well laughter as sympathy. Witness the follow
ing anecdote of the return to his old master, not
very long ago, of one of his former slaves after
having served another person for a year:
‘“Why, Jim, how happens it that you quit
.Perkins*’ asked the gentleman.
“ ‘Well, now. Marse.lack, I gwine up £en tell
you jes how ’tis. I wuck fer dah man all las’
year, en I wuck hard, en I make him a good
crop. Well, now, de troof is, 1 did git f’om him
a few, but min’ yon, jes only a few, merlasses
en tobarker, en one hat, eu a pa’r o’ shoes, eu
one little thing en 'nother. Well, den. Chris’mus
come, en he say: “Jim, 1 gwine make out our
’count.” En den he tuck he piece o’ paper, en
be pen, en he ink vial, en he ’gina-settin’ down,
en when he thoo wid dat job he ’gin a-addin'
up, en a put’n’ down, en a-kyar'n; en he kyar’d.
en he kep’ on a kyar'n*, ontwel, bless your soul
en body. 31 arse .lackey, when he got thoo he
done kyar's off all what was a coinin’ to mo!
En so I makes up my min’, I does, to lef dar, en
pewoo.se myself bade to you, whar I knows dey.
not gwine be no sich kyar’n as dem.’ Then be
joined heartily in the laugh raised by what had
just occurred to him as being a good practical
joke.”
The Law Remained Intact
He was a stronger in town. It was Sunday
night, and he was tired, after a trip on the
"ghost train" from New York. He wanted a
drink, but he knew not how or where to get it,
says the|Boston IJerald.
He was in a puritanical city, quartered with
some religious and temperance relatives, and
he longed for the morrow or a glass of whisky
His longing was of short duration. Within a
stone’s throw of Rcollay square he met a metro
politan frieDd who had heen in Boston be
fore.
Together they went to the nearest hotel res
taurant.
“I don't want to eat, but to drink,” said the
thirsty man, as he held back.
“Never fear; your want shall be supplied.”
Tbe waiter came, and the man who knew
Boston looked at him with a knowing smile,
and said: "Bring me one hard-boiled egg and
a bottle of Bass' ale ■"
"Add a good bumper of whisky to that order
for me," said the other.
“I can comply with the order for an egg and
a bottle of beer, but” -turning to the late ar
rival—"l cannot serve you."
"And why?"
“Because you should have ordered something
to eat Furthermore, you should have ordered
it before ordering the drink. T.iat’s the law."
"True.” said the man acquainted with Boston;
“the waiter has no alternative. If he should
serve you now he would be discharged ”
The new comer had to sit while his friend
drank Bass and put the boiled egg In his pocket,
to be thrown away when he departed.
As soon as the thirsty traveler got out of the
dining room he bolted for another hotel near
by. He ordered a cracker, and then added,
"and a glass of whisky.” Uis thirst was satis
fied. The law remained intact.
Not a Proposal.
The young man's face was flushed, and bis
manner was strangely agitated, says tho Pftor
macrufirol Bra. As he addressed the fair girl
before whom he stood a faint tremor was no
ticeable in his voice.
"Miss Blanche,” he said, “I hesitated about
coming to you, but my feelings have over
powered me at last. Will it be too'much for
me to ask "
“Pray go on," said the maiden, with heart
wildly beating, as bis voice faltered. Yes, they
were coming, tho words that she and her dear
inamina had so long waited for "Pray go on,"
she said again, as he still stood, looking at her
with burning eyes.
“I came to ask. Miss Blanche ”
"Yes,” she smiled encouragingly.
"if if would be too muoh trouble for you to
write off that recipe whlab you said you had
for warding off the grip, fm sure lam going
to have it, and those confounded doctors always
charge two prices for a prescription.”
Said In Fun.

“Li Hung Chang has the grip"—Daily Papers.
In the blossoming land of the broad Hwang-Ho,
Where the soft, celestial pig-tails hang,
The royal household is struck with woe—
The influenza's got Hung Chang.
Hung Chaag, viceroy of the sun and moon
And various astral real estate.
Is wheezing like a cracked bassoon—
Like a merely earthly potentate.
For many days must Li Hung lie low.
While pagoda doctors give things to him
And pray to the joss at his bungalow
Or put him into baths and stew him.
The viceroyal temper is in a glow.
No mortal may go near Hung Chang,
And the bulk of the natives are lying low
Lest the bulk of the natives are forced to
hang.

You're in for it now! each night and noon
You shall sneeze and sneeze till you’re red in

While other floods your eyelids drip,
O, what better the lot of a son of the sun
If the son of a gun has got the grip?
A Little Girl’s Story.
Sarah Simonds sought some Sunday school
scholars, says at. Nicholas. "Scholars seldom
sit still,” said she. so she selected six straight
forward, sober, steady, serious, save Stella
Stark’s small sister Susan. Susan seemed stub
born. sullen. Stella started scolding. Seeing
she seemed sorry, she soonstopped-said sweet,
soothing sentences.
Soon she seemed satisfied, serene So Stella
spun some startling stories. She said she saw
seven ships sailing southward Sunday.
Suddenly she sa- some ships slowly sinking.
She screamed several seconds. Strangely she
saw six sailors swim swiftly shoreward, seeking
succor. Sad scene! Six sols survivosr! She
simply said: "Sabbath breaking!”
Susan sighed

ITEMS OF INTEREST.
A singular action was recently brought by a
lady against the proprietor of the Whitehall
Court fiats upon tbe Thames embankment. It
was stated that tbe lady was induced to take a
flat by the promise of tbe proprietors that a
restaurant would be established on tbe premises,
and that, as this had not been done, she bad
been living principally on tinned meat and sar
dines. On the suggestion of tho judge an
arrangement was come to, his lordship express
ing a hope that there would be no more living
on sardines and tinned meat.
Bacteria are simply microscopic plants, the
smallest form of vegetable life. In some id
stances they are so 6mall that it would be neces
sary to place 15,000 of them, end to end in order
to make a row an inch in length. They are of
widely different forms, some round, some oval,
some flat or rod-shaped, while still another
class are the exact counterparts of small cork
screws. Iu all cases they are so minute that
one needs a powerful microscope in order to
study them, and in no case can they be per
ceived simply with the naked eye. When count
less millions are grouped together they may
probably b? seen, but iu this case they uiav be
said to resemble an approaching army, of which
we are totally unable to distinguish a single
Boldier.
Churton Collins has recently published In
England a book entitled “Illustrations of Ten
nyson,” in which he shows the indebtedness of
the poet to his predecessors. He names a great
many postages in his different poems which are
taken bodily from Virgil and Lucretius and
Theocritus, not to mention words and phrases
which are taken in great numbers from the
older English poets. The findings show that
Tennyson has been a great student of tho best
literature and has known how to appropriate a
good thing whenever he found it. Mr. Collins
shows no mean ability as a scholar in being
able to follow the laureate in his pilferings aud
appropriations. Probably Lord Tennyson
would allow himself to be called a literary thief
in the sense iu which Emerson would say that
that term might be justly applied to his own
quotations. He has stolen wherever he could,
but, like the honey bee, he has made it over
into something sweeter and better than the first
owner ever dreamed of. It is in this sense that
Lord Tennyson shows himself to be a superb
artist, taking whatever Is best in expression in
all literatures and using it with the freedom
and impunity which are a lowed to a man of
genius.
A MARisit experiment of great importance to
Milwaukee was announced In the Milwaukee
IFisconsin a few days ago. The Toledo, Ann
Arbor and Northern Michigan railroad is about
t o build a large ferry steamer to test the feesa
bility of .carrying trains of cars across Lake
Michigan from Kewaunee to Frankfort The new
steamer will cost $250,000, and will be large
enough to carry forty freight cars, and she is to
be fast enough to make the runs across the lake
between the points named in about five hours.
The distance iR sixty miles. The ferrying of
cars in this manner will result inn great saving,
as it costs from $6 to sl2 a car to make the
transfer of freight from the oars to the steam
ers, and besides, the loss through breakage inci
dent to such transfers will be prevented. It is
thought the experiment will prove successful,
as freight trains have been thus trans
ferred for years between (tape Charles City and
Newport News, a distance of forty miles, across
the mouth of Chesapeake bay, where the water
is sometimes very turbulent. If the pro
posed ferry system should be successful
it will without doubt eventually be put in opera
tion between this city and Ludington, Urand
Haven and St. Joseph. The d.stance across
the lake is considerable greater at this point
than between Kewaunee and Frankfort, but if
tile proposed ferryboat can be made to success
fully breast the waves with its pecu liar freight
the problem of speed will be readily solved by
t lie engine-builder and the marine architect.
With car ferries a success. Lane Michigan will
cease to be an obstacle to the development of the
railway facilities of the ports on each side of
the lake, dud Chicago will no longer have a
leading advantage on account of her geograph
ical location. Tne railway lines running across
Michigan aud Wisconsin will be able to carry
freight more speedily as well as more cheaply
than they do at present, and consequently their
business will increase rapidly and heavily.
To make a voyago acroas tho ocean to Europe
in a balloon is an enterprise projected by Prof.
Samuel A. King, the aeronaut, and several finan
cial backers, to take place from Philadelphia
some time during next summer. The project Is
not yet definitely assured, although Prof.
King has been promised the funds necessary for
a complete preparation for tbe traDS- Atlantic
journey. Tho expense that would be attached
to Rtich an enterprise is estimated to be about
$20,000 or $25,000. Prof. King was seen late
Tuesday night about tho proposed oceanic bal
loon trip at his home by a Philadelphia Dress
reporter. He declined to give for publication
just what arrangements had been made, deem
ing that it would aot be proper, inasmuch as
the enterprise had not been positively assured
"The talk ie that tbe etart," said he. •'should
take place some time in August from this
city. That is the best time. lam very anxious
that it shall really occur,l for I have
been considering such a project for several
years, 1 think I have at last mapped out the
plans by which such a journey can be accom
plished. It is necessary that I should try to
make the trip soon, for iPa period not far dis
tant I might And that I have not vigor to risk
such a task.” Should Prof. King accomplish
tho voyage across the ocean in a balloon it
would be the first feat of the kind in history.
There haye been several attempts made to cross
the Atlantic through the air, but they resulted
in signal failures. Prof. Wise tried it about
forty years ago, but he was not able to get a
start Subsequently Prof. I,owe also made an
attempt, the starting point being at Point
Breeze, but the balloon was not projierlv made.
Prof. Donaldson did not havo much better suj
cees in his effort mauy years ago. It is Prof.
King's opinion that the balloon necessary to
make a trans-Atlantic voyage should be a hydro
gen one. and its capacilv should be from 400,000
to 500,000 cubic feet. He believes that a trip
through a higii altitude, say 3miles high, as
has been suggested bv some aerouauts, is not
advisable. His idea is that the balloon should
carry a drag rope 1.000 or 2,000 feet long, with
the end trailing in the water In this way the
balloon could strike a current of air and travel
with it across the ocean. There would be two
cars attached to the balloon. The upper one
would carry the passengers and the food. The
lower one would be used as a cuisine, and
could be descended into by means of a rope
ladder. The idea is to have the cuisine re
moved from the upper csr about the space of
twenty feet, so that there would be no danger
from the coil oil stove. Prof King has made
over 300 balloon ascensions In his career.
