President Eliot,of Harvard, whose speech

has explained his position. He says that
only disconnected sentences of his speech

In tb* Hands of Its Directors.
The Central railroad is now in the hands
of its Georgia directors, as receivers, with
tbs understanding that anew board of
directors shall be elected by the minority
stockholders as soon as a legal election can
be held, the coart having deprived the ma
jority stockholders of the power of voting
their shares. The question of the validity
of the lease, and important questions gro w
ing out of that question, have not been de
termined.
The actlou of the court in putting the
road into the bands of the Georgia mem
ber* of the board of dlreotors was undoubt
edly the result of the understanding be
tween all the parties represented in court,
ezcept the Riobmond Terminal people, who
do not appear to have made aoy protest.
That these directors will do the best they
can with tbs property there Is
no doubt. The most if not all, of them are
pecuniarily interested in the road, and all
of them are profoundly anxious that the
road shall be brought safely through its
present difficulties.
The reorganisation of the board should
take place at as early a day as possible.
Delay is dangerous, because until anew
board is chosen there will be uncertainty,
and uncertainty is hurtful to credit and
damaging to business.
And the minority stockholders should be
careful to keep weak men out of the board
The great property needs nothing so muob
now as a vig roue administration of Its
aiTeirs. That oan be bad only by putting
strong and capable men in charge of it. It
is evident that it is not now earning enough
to meet its expenses and maturing obliga
tions, and will not do so until the busy sea
son begins. In the meantime, there
fore, it is of the greatest impor
tance that its credit shall bo
maintained. That difficulty is not insur
mountable if men are placed at the front
who hive the confidence of those who are
expected to supply the money to meet the
road's necessities.
There ought to be no differences between
the minority stockholders to who should
be chosen to manage the property.
The situation Is too full of peril
to admit of them. There should
be but one purpose, and that is to get a
strong board of directors with a man at the
head of it who oan manage the road to the
best advantage and command financial
baoking upon the beat possible terms. The
Central will have a future If Its affairs for
the next year or two are directed vigorously,
intelligently and eoonomloally.
Later.— At 1:30 o’clook this morning a
dispatch was received that Mr. H. M. Corner
and Mr. Frederick Cromwell had been
elected members of the board of directors,
aud that Mr. Comer had teen chosen presi
dent of the board. Mr. Cromwell repre
sents the New York creditors. The selection
of Mr. Comer for the responsible
position of president will give profound
satisfaction. He is thoroughly identified
with Savannah and with Georgia, and he is
familiar with the Central railroad system,
having been one of its leading directors
under the Raoul administration. The new
arrangement means a vigorous and econom
ical management of the road. It also means
that the aredit of the road will be upon a
sounder basis than It has been for some time.
A Clear Field.
President Harrison has practically no op.
position for a renomination. Since Mr.
Blaine announced that his name would not
be before the Minneapolis convention it has
Been conceded by the republican press in
all parts of the country that the
President would be renominated, and that
he would have no opposition worth noticing.
There are several other candidates, the prin
cipal one being Senator CuUotn, but they
are attracting no attention outside of their
respective states. Each may receive a
complimentary vote from his state del
egation, but that will not mean
opposition to the President. In faot, it has
been admitted for a year or more that un
less Mr. BlaiDe should be a candidate the
President would get the nomination without
making an effort for it.
The only work the republicans will have
to do at Minneapolis is the framing of a
platform. That may give them some
trouble. In that declaration of principles
an effort will be made to satisfy as large a
number of voters as possible, and soma
trouble may be encountered In reaching a
conclusion as to what it would be better to
say and what not to Bay
But because the President will have no
opposition, it doesn't follow that he will be
a strong candidato. There Is oertainly no
great amount of enthusiasm for him. Hie
weakness is shown by the fact that if Mr.
Blaine should consent to be a candidate his
nomination could not be prevented
by the President’s friends. The President is
accepted because there is no other oandi -
date who has sulliceut prominence and in
fluence to command a national following.
There are plenty of able men in the Re
publican party. Sherman, McKinley, Reed,
Allison, CuUom and Lincoln, all have nat
ional reputations, but somehow or other
neither of them is regarded with favor in
oonneotion with the presidential nominat
ion.
Therefore, unless something should occur
between now and the meeting of the Min
neapolis convention to change the senti
ments of bis party with regard to him
President Harrison will be chosen to lead
his party in the presidential contest. And
be will he chosen not because of a profound
desire to have him as a leader but because
he is the most available of those mentioned
in connection with the nomination.

New Jersey. After a raoe there tbe other

suspicion, wasexamiued. Around his waist
was found an ingenious rubber band a foot

these pockets a regular battery was
secreted. Running down along tbe boy’s

They passed under his riding boot, and,

metal. By driving his right spur into tbe

"electrified” tbe poor boast into extraordi

exposure of this piece of orualty, together
with the previously exposed lawless

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, MARCH 29, 1892.
Trouble for Gee. Greely.
Gen. A. W. Greely stands e pretty good
chance of being oalled to account for
a violation of the general orders of
the war deportment. The part of
the orders that, it is claimed, he
has violated provide that nooffioer, without
being called upon by proper authority, shall
solicit or reoommend any action by
members of oongrees for or against legisla
tion pertaining to military affairs.
It seems that Gen. Greely does not went
the new military bureau of information
placed under the jurisdiction of the adjutant
general's office, and he wrote a letter to the
Secretary of War with respect to the matter,
and also to member* of the committee on
appropriations. He suggested to the Secre
tary of War that if the chief signal officer
could not be placed at the head of the
bureau the secretary himself should retain
oontrol of It until Gen. Greely could get
his friends In congress to take an interest in
the matter. To the members of the oom
mittee on appropriations he suggested that
no appropriation for maintenance of the
new bureau be made until the question of
the right of the chief signal offloer to con
trol it was definitely settled.
Such unusual conduct on Gen. Greely’s
part was very naturally resented by the
adjutant general, who promptly brought
the breach of discipline of which Gen.
Greely is guilty to the attention of the war
department. And in the letter in which he
did so he indulged lu some rather caustic
comments on Gen. Greely’s oonduot.
It is hardly probable that the offense with
which Gen. Greely Is charged Is serious
enough to justify the oonveniDg of a court
of inquiry, but iC Is extremely probable that
Gen. Greely will be severely rebuked, since
it Is claimed that his offense amounts to a
threat of insubordination.
It Is charitable to presume that Gen.
Greely did not intend to violate any rule,
regulation or order. The chanoes are that
he Is not as well informed about the general
orders of the war department as he ought
to be. Nevertheless, ignorance Is not an ex
cuse that will have much weight with his
superior offloers. It Is bis duty to be ac
quainted with the orders of the war depart
ment.
Working Secretly.
The Mornino News has a number of
times recently oalled tbe attention of demo
crats to the neoesslty for organizing. It is
well understood that the promoters of the
People's party are at work in almost every
oounty. They are workiug secretly, and,
therefore, it is impossible to form a correct
opinion os to their progress in making con
verts. It is believed, however, that they
are meeting with considerable success.
It it certainly time that democrats were
showing more activity. The People’s party
has very little, if any, foothold in the
towns. It Is in the country it expects to
find support, and it is there that it is now
putting forth extraordinary exertions. Un
less the democrats got to work and counter
act the third party influence they will have
a great deal of hard work later on to win a
democratic triumph.
It must not be overlooked that the Peo
ple's party invites the co-operation of the
blaok voters, and there it no doubt that if
it undertakes to make a campaign In this
state it will strive to organize the blacks and
get the benefit of their votee. If it should
succeed in getting the support of tbe blacks,
it might make a strong showing at the polls.
Tbe thing for ths democrats throughout
the state to do is to organize and prepare
for a contest. Tbe Morning News has
never wavered in its support cf democratic
principles and the Democratic party, and
its advice at this junoture should be heeded.
While some of its'contemporaries were dal
lying with the alliance and holplng to lay
the foundation for the People’s party by
applauding the Ocala demands, the Morn
ing News was earnestly battllug for Ae
doctrines of the democracy.
The Coal Roads in a Tangle.
It look 9 very much as If the bill passed
by the New Jersey legislature to legalize the
combination between the Reading, New
Jersey Central and Lehigh Valley railroads
would not be a valid act even If it
should receive the signature of the
governor. It is charged that It
cost the parties interested in the
bill as much as (500,000 to get it through
the legislature, and this charge is causing,
throughout the state, a great deal of com
ment unfavorable to those who voted for
the bill. But the oharge of bribery is not
what is troubling those interested In the
bill. It is the doubt whether the governor
has authority to sign tbe bill, the legislature
having adjourned.
In 1880 an act was passed which permits
the governor to sign a bill at any time
within thirty days after the final adjourn
ment of the legislature. The constitution
of the state,' however, provides that a bill
to become a law must be signed before the
legislature adjourns. It has been the
custom for years for the governor to sign
bills at any time within thirty
days after adjournment, and they
have beon recognized as laws of the state,
but it is now asserted by good lawyers that
bills signed under such circumstances are
not valid. An act of the legislature cannot
change the constitution of the state.
If this is the right view of the matter the
$500,000 spent to legalize the deal of the
coal roads, if, in fuct, any money was spent
for that purpose, was thrown away. The
men who got tho money will not return
it even though it become* evident that the
service they rendered was of no value. And
no one will sympathize with the managers
of the coal roads combination because,
whether the object they have in view is
good or bad, they adopted methods to ac
complish their object that are deserving of
the severest condemnation.
The Chinese exclusion act of the United
Staten is being made a dead letter by tbe
courts of Canada, and United States Con
sul General Knapp, at Montreal, says he
sees no way out of the difficulty. Under
tbe treaty between Great Britain and tbe
United States this country is compelled to
admit within its borders, with the right of
residence, any British subjeot, irrespective
of race, creed or color. The shrewd China
man has found this out. Ha goes to a
Canadian court, taka* out naturalize.ion
papers as a British sub ject, pays tbe fee
and starts at once for “tbe states.” Al the
frontier he is stopped, but he proves imme
diately that he is a British subjeot aud
"walks in” just aa though no effort bad
been made to keep him out. Tbe Canadian
oourt* are making a good thing of It Id feet.

oeived a market -py of the college paper con
taining an arricis by the younger Crain express
ing surprise that any man of common sense
could oppose ship subsidies. Mr. Crain thinks
the "yankee professors" in the college have
been filling his boy's head with "nonsense.”
Lord Lytton and the B rches.
The Philadelphia Ledger tells a story of Lord
Lytton which, though old. hasn't been told lor
some time, and so, perhaps will bear repetition:
"He was seated one day at dinner next to a
lady whose name was Birch, and who, tradition
says, was beautlfui if not over intelligent.
Said she to hie excellency: 'Are you ac
quainted with any of the Birches?’ Replied his
exce iency; ‘O, yes, I knew some of them most
intimately while at Eton; indeed, more In
timately than I cared to.’ ’Sir,' replied the
lady, 'you forget that the Birohee are relatives
of mine.’ 'And yet they cut me.’ said the
vioeroy; 'but,' and he smiled his wonted smile.
’I have never felt more inclined to kiss the rod
than Ido now.’ Mrs. Birch, sad to say, did not
see the point, and. so the goesips have it. told
her husband that his exce.lency had insulted
her”
It Failed to Work, Somehow.
"I oan tell yon something amusing about a
case of ambition o'ervaultlng itself," said
Mme. 8., who has just returned from a tour
abroad, to a Detroit Free. Press reporter. "We
were traveling in Germany and wanted the
compartment to ourselves. At a station where
we stopped there was a party with a crying
baby ready to Come aboard, and I told our
youngest little girl, who is a great mimic, that
if she would roll herself up In a rug and cry they
would probably pass on and leave us alone."
"Ana did it work?"
"You shall see. Sadie rolled herself up. head
and all. and when they looked in she screamed
at the top of her voice, exactly like a peevish
infant. The mother and father thrust their
heads in, while their infant roared also It was
a scene fit for bedlam. And to complete it the
father, who was an Englishman, said:
“ "Ere you b’are, Mary. There's another
howler in there, and they won’t mind avitig
us,' and in they got. the whole family of them,
and our cat was out of the bag."
The “ Nobility ” In New York.
I was walking down Fifth avenue yesterday
with an intelligent foreigner who has not been
here long, says a writer In the New York
Recorder.
I won't say whether It was Roulx de la Ville
or Count Sierstorpff or Willie Wilde. Any one
of them will do to point my story.
"You have, then, a nobility of your own here,
have you not?"
"How so?"
“I judge from the carriages ond harness I see
erab azoned with crests, ooronets and coats-of
arms Look there," and he pointed to a great
high-swung d’Orsay that rolled by, blinkers,
quarter blankets aod door pannels all oovered
with some rampant animal sticking his bead
through a crown.
“Yes, I said, “that is a nobleman's carriage,
without a doubt. He was a pork packer in Chi
cago before he came east. Since then he has
stolen two or three railroads and nojv his wife
and daughter give the cold shoulder to Me
Al lister."
“Ahl You are valr droll, you Americans!"
Dense Ignorance In Blaine’s 6tate.
Tbe wife of a western senator who spends
her summers in New England has a story that
she uses effectively when people try her soul by
sneers at the verdancy of the great west, says
the Washington star. Two summers before
was spent partly at Sorrento, and her husband
who is a terror to all Ashes or a retiring frame
O’ mind, frequently joined the usual buckboard
party for a trip into the woods. One day when
several ladies had gone with the party they
were left on shore to amuse themselves while
the gentlemen went on the lake. A gaunt, tail
yankte woman appeared shortly. She was
bright. Just as all yankees are in their native
condition, but her ignorance was dense enough
to put a native of Madagascar to shame. She
had even worked In one of those factories down
there on the coast, but that had not improved
her education. This was part of the dialogue
between tbe summer boarders and the back
woods lady:
"Dm a democrat.”
“Very sorry. We are republicans,and some
of us come from Washington."
That didn't seem to make the least impres
sion.
"Well, what do you think of your democratic
President?"
"I dunno much about him. He knows about
It. Who is he?"
And that woman actually did not know that
Cleveland was President.
“Do you know Mr. Hale?" No. she didn’t,
Didshe know Mr. Frye? Still the same blank
expression. ' Didn't you ever hear of them?
They are the senators from your own state?"
No, she didn’t. She did not know much about
politics, but he did.
The ladies were getting very much interested
in tbe specimen. At last they chorused, "Of
course you nave heard of Mr. Blaine?” Not a
bit of it. And her face was even blank r than
before, while the Washington woman collapsed
Into silence at the apparition of the woman
from Maine who did not know Blaine. Then the
woman turned Inquisitor. "Where did you
come from?" The sentor’s wife said, "From
Nebraska." Maine didn’t know where that was
It was on "the way to California." The Maine
face brightened a bit. She had heard of that
"Have you ever heard of Utah?” "No." "Sait
Lake City?" "No.” “Why that is where the
Mormons live. You know they have a number
of Wives to one husnand.” "Yes, I've hern tell
o' them folks, but I never b’lieved It." “Well,
they do have half a dozen wives. It's true."
It was a look of superb surprise on the Maine
face, and sho retired for meditation. But uo
one wants to mention to this Nebraska senator’s
wife tho ignorance of the wildaml woolly West.
Plttypat and Ttppytoe.
Eugene Field in Chicaqo News.
All day long they come and go—
Plttypat ana Tippy toe;
Footprints up and down the hall.
Playthings scattered on the floor.
Fingermarks along the wall.
Tell-tale streaks upon the door—
By these presents you shall know
Pittypat and Tippytoe.
How they riot at their play!
And, a dozen times a day,
In they troop, demanding bread—
Only buttered bread will do.
And that butter must bespread
Inches thick with sugar, too!
Never yet have l said: “No,
Pittypat and Tippytoe?”
Sometimes there are griefs to soothe—
Sometimes ruffled brows to smooth;
For—l much regret to say—
Tippytoe and Pittypat
Sometimes interrupt their play
With an internecine epat;
Fie! O. fie! to quarrel so,
Pittypat and Tippytoe!
O, the thousand worrying things
Every day recurrent brings!
Hands to scrub and hair to brush.
Search for playthings gone amiss;
Many a murmuring to hush.
Many a little bump to kias;
Life's indeed a fleeting show,
Pittypat and Tippytoe!
And, when day is at an end.
There are little duds to mend;
Little frocks are strangely torn,
Little shoes great holes reveal;
Little hose but one day worn.
Rudely yawn at toe or heell
Who but you oould work such woe,
Pittypat and Tippytoe!
But when come* this thought to me:
“Some there are that ohildlesa be,"
Stealing to their little beds.
With a love I cannot speak.
Tenderly 1 stroke their beads.
Fondly kiss each velvet cheek,
God help tbo-*e who do not kuow
A Pittypat or Tippytoe!
On the floor, along tbe hall.
Rudely traced upon the wall,
'There are proofs In every kind
Of the havoc they have wrought.
And upon iny heart you'd find
Just such trade marks, if you sought.
O. how glad t am 'tie so,
Pittypat and Tippytoe!

The total number of travelers passing the
Russian borders In botb directions during eight
years was 14,178,600 Russians and *9.522,531
foreigners. Out of 100 Russians leaving their
country only 85 return, whereas of 100 foreign
ers arriving 87.7 leave the country again. On
each Russian leaving the country there are two
foreigners arriving.
In the old days, before the French revolution,
a favorite pastime at the court of the grand
monarch was the attempting to guess the Iden
tity of a person by the eyes alone. Face and
form were totally concealed by mask and
domino, and the eyes were left to tell what tale
thev could. The result was the merest guess
work.
A curious incident connected with the
Servian army Is tho manner in wblnb most of
'the regiments carry the big drum. It Is not. as
In most other countries, slung In front of tbe

been so trained that It keeps Its place even
through the longest and most tedious of
marches.
England’s principal source of supply for the
tomato out of season lies in the Channel Is
lands, Guernsey, Jersey, etc. Tbe climate there
suits the plant, where It can be grown in the
open air. In the year 1690 these islands sup
plied the London market with over 1.000 tone
valued at $250,000. The Azores and Canary
Islands also sent their quota, and to did France
and Spain.
Among the people of the globe the Japanese,

In preparation for the next seige of Paris tbe
French war department has taken steps toward
the construction of an Immense establishment
in the city for the preservation of meats by

The highest clouds, cirrus and oirro stratus,
rise, on an average, to a bight of nearly 80,000
feet. The middle clouds keep at from ahout
10,000 to 23,000 feet above the surface of t\e
earth; the lowor clouds seldom lower than 3,000
or higher than 7.000 feet. The cumulous clouds
float with their lower surface at a hightof from
4,000 to 5,000 feet, while their summits frequent ly
extend upward to a bight of 10,000. The tops
of the Alps are often cotnpt -tely hidden by
cloud3 of the third class, while those of tbe
other classes are frequently seen shooting up
the ravines like sheets ot smoke. Prof. Moller
took observarions on one cloud, the vertical
dimensions of which was over 3,700 feet.
Some particulars of a remarkable case of re
vival from apparent death are report and from
St. Petersburg, says GaltgnanTs Messen
ger. A lady who had been suffering from
a violent nervous attack sank Into a state
or syncope, and after a time ceased, it seemed,
to breathe. The doctor who was attending her
certified that death had resulted from paralysis
of the heart. For some reason, which is not
explained, another medical man. Dr. Loukhma
now, saw trie body, and, having been informed
that the lady had suffered from attacks of hys
teria and catalepsy, thought it worth while to
make a thorough examination. After trying
various other means, he applied the micro
phone to the region of the heart, and was en
abled by this instrument to hear a faint beating,
which proved thal life was not extinct Every
thing was done to resusoitate the patient, who
shortly afterward recovered consciousness.
In Holland, where a good deal of alcoholic
liquor Is taken—ln consequence, perhaps, of the
temptation of there being always water at hand
to mix with it—men can no longer be trusted to
work the switches of the railways, and women
now fill their places, says the London Neuu.
This is a slap iu the faoe Indeed to the male
sex, and a great triumph to the advocates of
female labor. But wo have yet too see hnw the
thing works. The men say|that there will he
looking glasses in the switch boxes, and that
the women will never leave them till they have
smoothed their last hair and settled the bow of
their last ribbon, aud that in the meantime
there will be collisions; that when left to them
selves they never have been in time for the
tram as passengers, and will not be more punc
tual as pomtswomen; and. finally, that if they
hear their lover's whistle anywhere In tne
neighborhood they will pay very little attention
to that of the locomotive. If these objections
are not valid, conclude the men, "we are not
Dutchmen.”
"The ordinary expression, ‘fixed star,’ so per
sistently used by nearly everybody," said L. M.
Gregory, a scientist of Albany, N. Y , at the
Lindell. according to the St. Louis Globe-Dem
ocrat, “is a misnomer that ought by this time
to be discarded. When the place of a star has
been accurately determined by measurement
made with the meridian circle, and when after
a lapse of a number of years tbe place of the
same star is again determined by observation,
it frequently happens that tbe two placies dis
agree. The explanation is tua r the star has
moved in tue interval; and it is Infinitely im
probable that any fixed stars exists.
The usual method of determining tue
measurements of stars is by the telescope
and the meridian circle. But there are some
movements which cannot be thus measured.
These are the cases when the star happens to be
darting directly toward the observer or di
rectly from him. In such cases the telescop
ing method is simply inapplicable, because the
ebserver would not notice any change in the
star's position. It Is just here that the spectro
scope cornea in to fill the vacant place in the
armory of tho astronomer. Formerly thisvalua
b e instrument was used only to ascertain the
chemical constitution of the stars. ”
Probably one of the queerest deyices ever
put on a bank note, check or letter-head was
that formerly used by a hanking firm at Devil's
Lake. Dak. It was a sheaf of wheat standing
upright, entwined with a ribbon, the baud bear
ing the inscription: “No. 1 hard wheat. In
hoc signo vinces.” Above tbe sheaf and resting
on its edge was a good representation of one of
Uncle Sara's stiver dollars The face of the
dollar bore an eagle, a map of Devil s Lake, a
plat of the city of Devil's Lake, showing a
