Senator Hill and tbs Nomination.
The question whether Senator Hill it im
proving his prospects for the nomination he
is seeking by his southern trip it being dis
cussed in all parts of the country. From
the fact that he is making mors speeches
than he intended when he left Washington,
and that he will visit, probably, several
i places that were not in hi* original pro
-1 gramme, it is fair to assume that be is en
; tireiy satisfied with the impression he is
making. There is no doubt that his recep
tion all along the route he has traveled has
been very friendly. He has bad large audi
ences and he has beard a great many ex
pressions of opinion undoubtedly which
have pleased him and increased his confi
dence in his sucoess.
But it is doubtful if his southern visit will
greatly help his cause. The crowds that
have greeted him wherever he has stopped
do not mean that he is a popular favorite or
that he is being honored for some act that
has made a deep impression upon the hearts
of the people. They mean that be is recog
nized as a prominent and successful publio
man, who is a candidate for the nomination
of bis party for President. Indeed, the south
ern people know comparatively little about
Senator Hill. He has played no part iu
national affairs and has had nothing to do
with questions which directly conoera
them. They have no reason, therefore, to
have any great regard for him. Whatever .
sentiment tnere is in his behalf among them
is due to the success he has achieved in state
politics and the belief that his shrewdness as
a political manager would make him a suc
cessful candidate tor the presidency.
But has this sentiment in bis behalf been
strengthened by his visit! It is doubtful.
The southern people have a very high regard
for the office of President, and they oannot
be favorably impressed by the very oon
spiouoas maimer in which Senator Hill is
seeking it. They may admire his shrewd
ness as a politician, but they will hardly ap
prove his methods for gaining his object.
The speeohes be has delivered have not
made much impression either in the south
or the north. They are good speeches, and
show the senator to be a man of marked
ability, but they do not arouse enthusiasm.
Some things upoo which the public would
like a positive expression of opinion are
skillfully avoided.
Senator Hill, when he returns to Wash
ington, will have the satisfaction of know
ing that he has made some strong personal
friends in the south, but alter he has heard
from the dlfferents parts of the couutry as
to the effect of bis southern visit upon his
canvass it is doubtful if he will regard the
visit as having improved his prospects for
the nomination.
The Central's Receivership Case.
It is not Improbable that those who think
the case involving the legality of the Geor
gia Pacific’s lease of the Central and the ap
pointment of a permanent receiver tor the
latter road will be decided very quickly
after it ie taken up next Thursday will be
disappointed. A fair oonolusion from the
statements iu the intervention and the an
swer to the original bill is that a great deal
of testimony will have to be taken before
the oourt will be prepared to act upon the
issues presented in the pleadings. It is a
question of faot whether the leasing of the
Central to the Georgia Pacific tends to de
stroy competition. In the answer to Mrs.
Clarke’s bill, it is denied that the Central
and the Richmond and Danville are
competing systems, and it is as
serted that the Hast Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia system is an independent one.
It may not tate a great while to satisfy
the court as to whether the tendenoy of the
lease is to destroy oompetitiou, but a good
deal of testimony may be necessary to
satisfy it as to whether the allegation that
the Richmond and Danville is permitting
the Central property run down is true. In
the Central’s answer it is asserted that the
physical condition of the property is as good
now as when the lease was made. Doubt
less a good many witnesses will be called
on eaoh side of this question and no one can
tell how long the taking of testimony will
continue. It would not be surprising if the
court should appoint a master to take testi
mony. Iu that case it would take a week or
two before the case would be ready for
argument. From present indications, there
fore. a decision may not be rendered before
the middle of April.
The Oloott Plan.
It will be same days probably before it is
known how Wall street regards tbe Oloott
plan for reorganizing the Kiohmoud Ter
minal propertios. There will be efforts un
doubtedly to defeat it. There will be boar
movements against the now securities. Tho
credit of the Tarminal companies will be
questioned probably. If. however, the un
derwriting syndicate is strong enough to
take the new seouritie9 until confidence in
them is established tho plan will be a suo
oess. Everything depeuds upon the under
writing syndicate.
The plan is of special Interest here be
cause tho Central securities would have been
included in it had not the Central become
entangled in the courts. Whether an effort
will be made to bring tbe Central into the
“Southern company” will depend, probably,
upon the outcome of the ponding suit for a
receivership. —...

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 1892.
Railroad Consolidation.
The attorney general of Pennsylvania
has filed a bill to break up the great combi
nation that was mads by the Reading com
pany with the Lehigh Valley and New Jer
sey Central railroads a few weeks ago. The
combination baa been sanctioned by the leg
islature of New Jersey, and that may help
it in its fight in the Pennsylvania courts.
There is not much doubt that the oombina
tion will find some way out of the legal
; difficulties which threaten it. It has hun
dreds of millions ,of dollars at stake, and
the breaking of the combination would be
a serious matter for the Reading oompany.
The other companies are well able to take
care of themselves. They are in excellent
financial condition.
The policy of railroads is toward consoli
dation. It is the only policy that promisee
a profit from railroad property. About
all rsliruads are oapitalixed for an
amount much above their actual cost.
Competition and hostile legislation make it
extremely difficult for them to meet their
financial obligations and make snoh im
provements as are absolutely neoessary.
By consolidation they are able to make a
very great reduction in operating expenses
and at the same time get rid of competition
that is often ruinous. The oost of getting
business is frequently muoh more than the
profit arising from handling it.
The railroads do not now fix their rwr
rates. If they had the privilege of doing
so they would be less active perhaps in
making combinations. Railroad commis
sions say what the rate* shall be, and It is
not a matter of much consequeuoe to the
people, therefore whether competition is
prevented by consolidation or not.
The belief that the Reading combination
would be followed by a rise in the price of
coal has caused some uneasiness throughout
tbe territory tributary to the consolidated
roads, but it is probable that there need be
no fear of anything of that kind. The
railroad commissioners will prevent an in
crease in the rates for transporting coal.
Railroad consolidation is certain to go on
until all tbe railroads In the country are in
cluded in a few great systems aud the inter
ests of the people will not suffer ns long as
honest men oan be obtained for railroad
commissioners.
Crain’s Amendments.
The amendments to the Federal consti
tution introduced by Representative Crain,
of Texas, changing tbe dates for the
meeting of congress and the inaugura
tion of the President, are being com
mented on very favorably. They pro
vide that the terms of congressmen shall
begin Dec. 81, a little less than two months
after tbe eleotion, and that the President
shall be inaugurated April 30. Anew con
gress, therefore, would meet Jan. 1.
These amendments possess several ad
vantages over existing laws. Congress
men would be fresh from the people and
more in touch with their wishes.
The spectacle would not be presented of a
ooneress entirely out of harmony with tbe
will of a majority of the people, legislating
as if there had been no ohange in publio
sentiment since it was elected. The billion
dollar congress, for Instance, continued to
make laws for the country for a whole ses
sion after it bad been repudiated.
There is another advantage iu the pro
posed ohange. A large part of the time of
a congressman would not be taken up dur
ing tbe first session of a congress, as it is at
present, in carrying on a campaign for a
re-election. The first session Is the impor
tant session, and a congressman’s whole time
ought to be given to his legislative duties.
If his term, however, begun on Deo. 31, he
would not bother about his campaign for
re-election until toward the end of the sec
ond session.
Representative Crain was not the first to
suggest a oharge of the inauguration of the
President. The suggestion is supported by
very good reasons. The first President was
inaugurated on April 30, and on that date
the weather is much more apt to be pleas
ant than on March 4. Tens
of thousands of people from
all parts of the couutry are present at
the inauguration ceremonies. If the
weather is inclement, ns it generally is,
hundreds of thorn contract colds which de
velop into serious diseases.
It takes a long time to amend the federal
constitution because of the delays, for vari
ous reasons, of state legislatures in passing
upon an amendment. It is probable, how
ever, that if congresi should pass Rep
resentative Crain’s amendments the neces
sary two-thirds of the state legislatures
would ratify them.
Newspaper paragraphers may breath
freely again and proceed to "salivate” Sul

Judge Henry M. Shepherd, of Chicago,
who was formerly the law partner of Mel

likely than any other man to receive tho
democratic nomination for President.

Thomas Nast, the famous oartooaiat, who
illustrated Harper’s publications during tbe
war, and for a number of years after, is
said to be ooutemplatlng the establishment
of a paper at Chicago devoted to oartoons in

formerly a bitter republican.
Corbett says he fears he will get no credit
for beating a decrepit old man. Sullivan
says Corbett is so weak he "couldn’t punch
a bole in a pound of butter." It really
seems that a “society for the prevention,

harmless people.

CURRENT OOMMJNT.
Not a Grave Offense.
From the Baltimore American (Bern.).
That bill bofore congress prohibiting dealing
in futures will not interfere with speculating
on the next presidency.
A Biased Opinion.

It is perfectly natural for Mr. Morrison to

A Premature Report.
From the Rochester Post Express (Dem.).
The rumor now in circulation in the south
that the New York delemMion to the republican

The Value of Italians.
From the Baltimore American (Rep.).
When New Orleans wifi have to pay for allow
log those Italians to be slain in its prison the
courts will have to decids, but to claim $30,000
for each one seems to bo putting a .pretty high
estimate on their value, either to their families
or to tbe rest of the world.
The Quay-Clarkson Plan.
From the New Haven (Conn.) Register (Dem.).
From the Hartford Omrant we learn that
Mr. Harrison’s path toward a renotnlnatlon
does not lie through rose gardens. The plau of
operations against him is to have as many
favorite sous in the field as possible and thus
diminish his streugth at tbe outset, and then to
oonoentrato the opposition upon some dark
horse. In this well laid plan is Connecticut for
Hawley or l’iatt!

Knew It Was Something Like That.
He was from Pewaukoe or St, Louis, or some
thing like that, and the elaborate menu at the
Palmer house rather staggered him, says the
Chicago Post. But he came from fighting stock
and went right through from soup to coffee.
One dish in particular pleased his fancy and
palate. He hesitated a moment at first before
ordering deviled crabs because he was a class
leader at home and he wasn't quite mire whether
a thing with a name so suggestive of wickedness
might not be one of the wiles used by Satan to
lure men from the narrow path. But the old
man risked ihe temptation and he liked the
dish.
Toward the end of the meal he wanted more
of the same, so he hooked his finger at the
waiter, to whom he said: "Say, mister, I want
some more of them things.”
“Yes, sail,” said the grinning Afro-American.
“What things, sah?”
“1 forget just now whfc-they air called on
thet programme of vounn; O, yes, by gosh:
they're a kind o’ fish we useter ketch In the
spring buck o* the old log school house when I
wuz a boy, and they’ve some cuss word in front
o’ the name."
"Jest a mlnit, sah. I'll get you a menu,”
suggested the puzzled waiter.
"x ou don't need ter mean me et tall," said
the old man. ”1 know what I want. Just
bring me some more o’ them and and craw
fish."
In No Man’s Land.
The Academy.
Two shapes were walking on tbe strand
One starilt night la no man’s land;
Two shapes that during mortal life
Gave hate for hate, in deadly strife.
They met. Swift forth their faichionß flew;
Eaoh pinned the other through and through.
Yet neither fell. Again they strove
For mastery, and madly drove
To right and left their falchions bright.
Nor sound nor cry profaned the night.
Through corselet, casque and visor, too,
As through the air their swift blades flew;
Until, amazed, they stood aghast.
And on tbe sands their weapons cast.
Then laughed they both at mortal strife.
The passing dream of earthly life.
And clasping each the other's hand
They walk the shades of no man's land.
The Ex-Speaker’s Mistake.
The Washington correspondent of the New
York World says: The triumph of the speaker
in the spirited colloquy of last Friday afternoon
between Mr. Crisp and Mr. Reed over the ques
tion of a quorum has delighted tho democrats.
The speaker’s ready replies Illustrate Judge
Crisp’s most prominent Characteristics. He is
clear of head, quick of apprehension, and at all
times even-tempered. A leading democratic
member said:
“It was comparatively a slight circumstance,
and yet It has had a very happy effect on our
side of the chamber. Few ot us expected the
speaker to floor Reed so easily and so thor
oughly. Reed, lam sure, was completely sur
prised, for he has believed himself superior iu
a short, running controversy to everybody In
the House.
"One of the good effects will be to teach
Reed a little prudence, and save us a good deal
of delay. When in full swing, Heed likes to
punctuate th* debates with sharp interruptions
and witty observations, I think lie was prom
ising blinself some fun with us this session. I
am sure he will recast his programme, now.”
Of Gentle Blood.
He was a gentler specimen of his class than
one usually meets, .says the Detroit Free Press,
and when he made his appeal for something to
eat at the kitchen door of a Case avenue house
was asked to come in by the (ire. As the lady
of the house bustled about she watched him and
finally said:
“ You don’t look as if you had always been a
tramp.”
“1 haven't, ma’am." he replied, without of
fense at being called a tramp. “I came from a
very good family.”
Sne let him eat ou without interruption, but
after he had finished she said:
•You say you came from a good family. May
I ask the name?”
"It was Blankleigh, ma’am," ho responded.
“Why,” she said in surprise, "that is the name
of the family next door to us."
“Y’es’m,” he replied, "I noticed it on the door
plate. That's the family I came from. They
gave me the bounce just before I called here,”
and he got away speedily,
Colorado Eloquence.
Old Gov. Routt of Colorado has a way with
him that goes right to the heart of the Colorado
miner, says the New York Tribune. Just before
the sale of public lands in Creede the other day,
he got up and. amid wild applause, made the
following speech: '‘Boys, I'm no tenderfoot—
I'm one of you. I've been through the mill, and
know all about your desires. You have come
here in good faith to make this your home. You
have squatted on public land, and you ought to
bave it. Tbe statutee require us to sell to the
highest and best bidders. You are the best bid
ders, and, by the eternal, the mule's your’n.
Howl down tbe speculators, but don’t shoot. I
left my gun at home. Take yours back to your
cabins. Now, go on with the bidding. But don't
shoot.”
According to a recent reckoning a human be
ing of either sex who is a moderaie eater and
who lives to be 70 years old consumes during
“tbe days of tbe years of his life" a quantity of
food which would fill twenty ordinary railway
luggage vans.

A rancher of Hillboro, Ore., on the eve of
his marriage, fell from the roof of a barn and
brokean ankle, Tbe guests bad been Invited
and the minister engaged for his wedding, so
the doctor put the foot and ankle In a plaster
cast, and Casper was married on schedule

In many countries of the world, mpst
especially la England. France and Germany,
not only tbe peasants, but the middle classes
and the nobles believe that bees are curiously
and mvstenously connected with the weal or
woe of the human family in general. It is a
common saying in all the English shires that
be--s do not "do well” when the red-coats are
engaged in wars abroad.
Unlike the Romans of a later age the Egyp
tians did not confine tbe privilege of shaving
to free citizens, but obliged their slaves to
shave both face and head. The data Is not
exactly as authentic as one would like to have,
but it is believed that the custom of shaving
the beard was introduced at Rome in the year
300 B. C. According to Pliny; Scipio Africanus
was the first Roman who shaved daily.
In Southern Europe the cantharldes Insects
are gathered by shaking them at night upon
sheets from trees on which they have gone to
roost in flocks. Then they are exposed in
sieves to the vapor of boiling vinegar, after
which they are dried in the sun. and are rea iy
for sale in the drug shops. The flesh of all
"blister beetles” contain a peouliar chemical
compound called “canthariain" which burns
the skin.
In Paraguay it Is chiefly the women who
chow, and travelers have often described their
emotions when, on entering a house, a lady
dressed in satin and adorned with precious
stones, comes toward them, and. holding out
her mouth to be kissed, as is the usual custom
or welcome, pulls the beloved tobacco quid
from her cheek pouch. Some of the South
American tribes actually eat the tobacco cut
into small pieces.
Gallapageous tortoises are vegetable feeders,
browsing chiefly upon a succulent cactus. It Is
said that they are entirely deaf, so that even
the report of a gun does not startle or alarm
them. At intervals they make pilgrimages to
the hilltops, where water U to be found, travel
ing by night only. Thus, in the course of cen
turies, they have worn regular roads from the
shore up the mountain sides, by following
which the Spaniards first discovered tbe water
ing places.
The Victoria Colonist says there arrived in
town five young men who are all sons of north
ern Indian chiefs. Threo of them are skilled
jewelers, and all have with them large stocks of
native trinkets, costly and otherwise. They
have brought down In addition to their ordinary
goods, anew style of Indian ring, which recently
seemed to be the cause of a great deal of curi
osity and admiration among their friends on the
reservation The innovation consists of a
plaited circle of silver and bear skin.
A Detroit man has a novel walking cane
that represents the work of odd hours every
day for six weeks. It Is made of old postage
stamps of various denominations and six
natioualltins —United States,Canadian, English,
French, German aDd Italian. It took 5,014
stamps to make the cane. The face value of
the stamps was SIOO. The surface of the cane,
when th stamps were all on, was died smouth
and finished until It glazed. A heavy gold knob
completes one of the handsomest and most
unique canes ever seen in Detroit.
In the sacred city of Ourga, the headquarters
Of Mongolian Buddhism, ore numerous
“prayer wheels." inscribed with prayers and
dedications to Buddha, and the more they are
turned the more religious they uinko you.
.Many of the more devout persons turn smaller
wheels held in the left hand, while manipula
ting tho large one with the right hand. The
curioue bits of rags noticed flying above the
palisades of the inclosures of this town are
"prayer flags.” No Mongolian house is with
out them—the more the better-for each one
is supposed to convey a prayer to BtMdha.
A cubap portable disinfectant Is permangan
ate of potash. A bottle full of these crystals,
bought at the store of any chemist, will last for
years. It can be used when wanted by putting
a pinch of the potash over night In a jug of
water; lu the morning it will present a reddish
appearance, and can be used for drains, eto. A
small quantity of this liquid kept in a basin and
renewed daily keeps a room £resh and destroys
disease germs. The only drawback is that, if
too strong, the liquid will stain linen; at the
same time it has the great advantage of being
easily carried about, while it can be prepared in
the smallest quantity at a moment’s notice.
Poor old Crocky Baldwin, the antiquated
cockatoo at the Zoological gardens, whose age
is variously estimated, but who Is known to be
well on to 100 years old, is pining away, says
the Philhdelpuia Record. Orocky’s days are
numbered, and the mournful old bird seems to
realize It. Since his precarious condition was
published some time ago letters have been re
ceived at the zoo from all parte of the country
expressing solicitude for the condition of the
aged bird. In many of these epistles offers of
various sums have been made for Crocky’s re
mains after death has done its work. These
offers range from $5 all the way ud to SSO, the
latter offer having been received from a Boston
taxidermist.
Although the peach tree is usually consid
ered short lived, them s-ems to be no real rea
son, outside of circumstances and conditions,
why they should not live as long as other trees.
There are some Instances of very aged peach
trees, and possibly one of the oldest is in Mif
flin county, Pennsylvania, on tho farm of Jacob
Hoover, in Fermaoaugn township. When he
bought his farm, which is now forty years ago,
tbe tree was then in full bearing, so that its ex
act age is not known, but it Is safe to say that
it is about fifty years, and by all accounts it is
yet in perfect health, and bearing bountiful
crops yearly. We should be glad to know if
there are any other older trees than this known
in the country.
The Standard oil trust controls the petroleum
ell refineries in all the principal cities of the
United States. It produces 65 per cent, of the
country’s total output of refined oil It also
controls the wells of Pennsylvania, Ohio and
West Virginia, and has pipe lines for transmit
ting its oil to tide water. When the trust was
organized ten years ago there were only thirty
persons in it. Now there are about 2,000 stock
holders. For the past eight years the trust has
paid 12 per cent per annum dividends. Twice
it has Issued stock dividends. The original capi
tal was $70,000,000, now it is $95,000,000. The
export trade of the Standard companies
amounts to $50,000,000 a year. This is' two
thirds of the total business of the companies.
The first Standard company was the Ohio cor
