Mr. Cleveland's Opinion of Mr. Murphy.
The New York Times says it has author
ity for the statement that Mr. Cleveland it
opposed to Mr. Edward Murphy, Jr., for
senator from New Yor*. Mr. Murphy is
chairman of the state democratic commit
tee, and is supposed to have a great deal of
political influence in bis state. Mr. Cleve
land, however, thinks be is not qualified to
represent New York In the United States
Senate, and it i* probable lie is right. Mr.
Morphy Is a cai<able political manager, but
be has given very little attention to such
questions as come before the Sonata Ho
wouldn't have much tufiuanoe in that body,
therefore, if hs should be chosen a member
of it.
It is probable tbat Mr. Cleveland would
not have expressed an opinion in respect to
Mr. Murphy's fitness for the position if he
had not been urgently requested to do so by
some of those who were chiefly instrumental
in bringing about his nomination and elec
tion. Asa citizen of New York, however,
he has a right to speak his mind plainly in
respeot to tbe fitness of those who seek office
to serve the people.
There are some public positions for whioh
Mr. Murphy is admirably qualified and to
which his entire party would gladly see him
elected, but New York ought to be repre
sented in the Senate by men who are capa
ble of taking a commanding position in that
body. Her publio interests are very great
and should be intrusted to men who under
stand them thoroughly and are capable of
dealing with them in a statesmanlike man
ner.
It has never been claimed for Mr. Mur
phy that be is a statesman, or that ho has a
comprehensive knowledge of national ques
tions.
It looks very much, however, as if Mr,
Murphy would be elected senator. He and
his friend, Senator Hill, have great influ
ence with the demooratio members of the
legislature, and Senator Hill is quoted as
saying there isn't a doubt of Mr. Murphy’s
election.
There was report a few days ago that Mr.
Cleveland and Senator Hill had adjusted
their difference* and were on a friendly foot
ing. The opposition of Mr. Cleveland to Mr.
Murphy, however, would seem to indicate
tbat it has no foundation. Senator Hill in
sists that Mr. Murphy shall be elected and
it is likely that he will have his way in tbe
matter, notwithstanding Mr. Cleveland’s
opposition.
There is a suspicion tbat Henator Hill
wants it to appear that he is still tbe big
man in the Democratic party of New York
and tbat bis influence is much greater than
that of Mr. Cleveland. If that is what is
in Senator Hill's mind he will lessen his
own influence in the long run, beoause the
people are pretty certain sooner, or later,
to abandon a man who cares more to ac
complish bis own purposes than to advance
their welfare
The New York legislature may pay no
attention to Mr. Cleveland's opposition to
Mr. Murphy. If it shouldn't the people of
that state may have good cause to regret
it* action. One thing is certain, and that is
that Mr Cleveland is right in opposing Mr.
Murphy for senator if he thinks he is not
tbe right men to represent N'ew York in tbe
Senate.

A Significant Event.
The laying of tbs corner-stone of tbe
Protestant Episcopal Cathedral of St. John
in New York on Tuesday was an event of
much more than ordinary signification,
Tbe idea iu building this cathedral i* not to
glorify one particular religious denomina
tion. It is rather an effort to realize some
thing that is adapted to tbe whole scope of
American life. And because of this broader
view thoughtful people in every pert of
tho country are taking an interest in the
structure.
The idea of this grand structure—it will
be the grandest church building in this
country—was broached for the first time
in 1870 by tbe late Dishop Potter. Although
tbe idea took a firm hold on the minds of
many people In New York at that time,
little was done toward collecting a fund for
tbe building until 1886, when the present
Bishop Potter issued au address, in whioh
he said;
“It will be the people's church, in which
■no reserved right can be bought, held or
hired on any pretext whatever. It will be
the fitting shrine of memorials of our hon
ored dead. It will supply the especial noed
of this material age, a commanding witness
to faith in tha unseen."
Tho cathedral will, it j* estimated, cost
$10,000,000 and will require fifteen years to
build it. It is more than probable, how
over , tbat the estimate will be greatly ex
ceeded.
Some idea of its size is furnished by tbe
following figures. When completed its
total length will be 520 feet, its total width
296 feet, the bight of its central towers 447-
feet and the bight of it* dome in the inte
rior 253 feet. The choir alone will have a
soaring capacity of 2,000.
The site, which cost ?555,000, has been
paid for and there is *1,000,000 In the
building fund. No doubt is felt tbat tbe
nece sary money for building purposes will
be forthcoming as fast as it is noeded.
The cathedral will be much more than an
ornament of New Ycrk. It will be a great
center of Christian life and ac ivlty. It
will be visited by people from every part of
the country and those wbo visit it will
carry back to tbeir distant homes impres
sloue that will be incentives to more active
Christian work. It will be an inspiration
aud a power in tbe religious life of the coun
try.
Tbe Washington Post seems to be greatly
cut up by the denial which Mr. Hoke Smith
makes relative to the paragraph which ap
peared In Mr. Smith’s paper, tbe Atlanta
Journal, to the effect Georgia office seekers
must have Mr. Smith’s indorsement to gain
Mr. Cleveland's ear. The Post commenting
on tbe denial says: “Thus is another fond
delusion dispelled and the hope tbat clustered
around it scattered to the various winds. It
is not true that Mr. Cleveland ha* refused
to c mrlder Georgia recommendations un
less approved by Hon. Hoke Smith. Once
more we are toeeed rudderless upon tbe
wintry sea of conjecture, and the guiding
star which we fondly told ourselves resided
iu the person of Hou. Hoke Smith goes
down behind a cloud of flat denial. It is
too bad.”
It would not be surprising if Jay Gould's
sous and daughter were to dispense with
open hands that charity which their father
withheld. Miss Helen Gould the otbor day
secretly provided, at her own expense, a
Christmas feast for tbe inmates of one of
the great charitable institutions iu New
York. She objected to being kuown in the
matter, probably fearing that bar action
would ha contrasted with her father's lack
of action on similar occasions, but tbe in
formation “leaked out” that it was she who
had giveu tbe dinnor.
THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1892.
Mr. Cleveland’s Cabinet.
The Washington correspondents and not
a few editors are naming the men they
think will be or ought to be members of
Mr. Cleveland's cabinet. They are not
puffed cp with the idea tbat their services
are appreciated. They simply think they
know a great deal more about Mr. Cleve
land’s intentions relative to bis cabinet than
the great majority of those who are in com
munication with him, and they are anxions
to give tbe public the benefit of what they
think they know.
It is pretty well understood that Mr.
Clevsland has offsred tbe position of Secre
tary of State to Mr. W bltney and that tbe
offer has besn declined. It is also stated
with a considerable degree of authority
tbat he has requested Senator Carlisle to
accept the secretaryship of the treasury,
and that the request is being c nsidsred.
There is no reliable information tbat he has
offered any other man a cabinet position.
If he has done so the fact has been kept
secret
A good many cabinet siates have been
made, however, some of which contain
names of men tbat Mr. Cleveland is not
at all likely to honor w.th the offer of a
oabinet nomination. If hs should invite
them into his cabinet they would accept
with alacrity, and it is probable they would
quickly give him cause to repent having
placed them in such conspicuous and re
sponsible positions. They are men wbo
place a much higher estimate upon their
ability and importance than tbe publio
dors. However, there is no reason
to think Mr. Cleveland will make
the mistake by surrounding himself with
advisers who would not give strength and
dignity to his administration. The fact
that be has extended invitations to Mr.
Whitney and Senator Carlisle is satis
factory evidence tbat he will not be led
Into selecting comparatively weak men for
his cabinet. There are plenty of firat-claes
men from which to ohoose. The main diffi
culty In making a choice is to give each
section of the country a representation that
will be satisfactory.
The Local Campaign.
The county and municipal campaigns are
under full neadway. The thing that has
cropped out thus far is that there are a
great many more candidates than there are
offices. It is rather astonishing that there
are so many reputable and public-spirited
citizens wbo are anxious to serve the public.
There isn’t one of them who wouldn’t feel
hurt if It- were suggested that he has a pur
pose in view other than the welfare of the
dear people. Even the candidates for
offices that pay nothing are confident, so
far as they have been heard from, that they
feel the throbbings of patriotic motives and
high purposes.
In these free-for-all races there ought to
be no difficulty In picking out men who are
eminently qualified to manage the affairs
of the county and city and to discharge
the duties of the minor offices. There is
plenty of good material to choosy from, and
if tbe right kind of men are not elected the
people will have only themselves to blame.
Voters should keep steadily in mind the fact
that it is their duty as citizens to do all they
can for the welfare of the city and county.
Most of the candidates arc well-known citi
zens, and nearly every voter ought to be
able to pick out those who can be depended
upon to devote themselves conscientiously
to tbe service of the publio and who have
the necessary qualifications.
The mistake that too many voters make
is tbat they permit their likes and dislikes
to influence them in voting. Personal feel
ings should not enter into the matter at all.
Tbe public good should be the sole consid
eration of every one casting a vole.
A difference of opinion as to who the best
men are is, of course, to be expected, but if
voters, aftercareful inquiry concerning the
candidates, follow their judgments the ma
jority are pretty certain to cast their ballots
for the candidates who are likely to render
the public the best service.
Henry Cabot Lodge, who believes that
in the distribution of ability New England
men received more than those of any other
section, because there are more pictures of
New England men in Appleton’s encyclo
pedia than of men of any other section,
may be right. According to the Washing
ton Post a ring of New England writers has
been able to develop such a “pull” on the
state department that nobody outside of ibe
ring is allowfd to see valuable historical
documents owned by the Unitod Slates and
filed awav in the library of the department.
And Lodge himself is alleged to be the ring
leader. Exclusive access to these documents
on the part of these writers, be it under
stood, is a matter of dollars and cents.
They comp.le books and magu’ino articles
! from the data obtained from the pa; em,
which books and articles they put upon the
; market for sale at the best terms obtain
able. Under the order of things that now
obtains in tbe department the New Ei giand
clique and ono New York house have the
sole benefit of moro than £IOO,OOO worth of
historical papers paid tor out "of tbe public
treasury. Lodge may call that the fruit of
ability, but conscientious people will see in
the refusal of det artraent clerks to allow
outsiders access to the papers a species of
bribery and corruption.
The Woman’s Christian Temperance
Union of South Dakota has found a more
promising field for its labors than holding
fairs for the benefit of the inebriate denizens
of the Congo Free State. It will, from now
until tbe adjournment of the legislature,
make a spirited fight against tbe Dakota
divorce law, which requires but ninety
days' residence in tbe state to procure a
divorce. One effect of this law has been a
colony of divorce-seeking people from other
states In every city in South Dakota, and
tbe preaenoe of three colonies is a source of
annoyance and chagrin to the Chris
tian citizens of the state, who think the
marriage ties should bo held more sacred
thau the existing laws hold them. The
Woman’s Christian Temperance Union pro
poses to have passed a more stringent law
on the subjeot and thus destroy ths divoroe
industry that has grown up in various cities.
The fragment of Lizzie Borden’s burned
dress that was found in a fireplace at tbe
Ilorden residence not long ago, does not ap
pear to be worth much as evidence in the
great Fall River murder trial. Lizzie
burned the dress because she had spilled red
I>alot on it, to she says, and the family serv
ant confirms her story. Still, some of the
experts in the cate, after they have con
cluded their analyses, may decide that the
“red paint” is blood, in which cate tbe
young woman would be placed in a very
dangerous positioo.

Jay Gould onci made a trip to Mexico to in
spect the International and Great Northern rail
way. It was in toe autumn of 1878, says the
Sa i Francisco Chronicle , and, as usual, the
millionaire was in a hurry. Meeting the gen
tleman who ha*d the tale of the road in hand,
he sad:
“I’m a busy man, and I want to be back in
New York n©xt week. Rush me through.'*

engineering:

did some hard tuinking. He knew tbat the
roadbed was in a tumble condition, and that to
run over tweo y miles was tawing desperate
c-.ancee. Lauer had lots of nerve, but he felt
the responsibility impoiied on him by the of
ficials in placing Gould in bis handa He con
cluded finally tu use his own judgment, take no
chance*, aud stick closely to tue schedule
time
Between Marshall and Galveston the schedule
called for 285 miles to be made between dark
and daylight. Jay Gould did not retir • early,
and on that night seemed particularly wide
awake. He sat reading a newspaper by a dim
light, and every once in a while glanced out the
window’ impatiently It was evident that the
great man was becoming angry. Finally the
storm burst Turning to one of the officials ac
companying him, he remarked testily:
Tf this were a funeral train it couldn't
possibly travel in a more decorous manner.
Steam up and let us go along.’*
The gentleman spoken to was aware that the
night ride haa been specially arranged in order
tnat the condition of the roadbed could be con
cealed from GouM, but thus forced he had noth
ing to do but to order an increase of speed.
The order was given, but the train moved along
at the same speed.
At the next stopping place l auer was sum
moned and given to understand that be was not
capable of driving a car horse, much less run
ning an engine.
“Get along! Push her: L*t's see what the
machine can do.“ urged Gould.
Lauer demurred aud the railroad magnate
concluded that he was afraid. “He’s a cow
ard, ’ he finally said; “put another man in
charge."
Lauer overheard the remark and flushed up.
‘AH right,** he said, “we'll open her ud."
In a few moments the little special was speed
ing through the night at the rate of forty five
miles an hour It w’as a ride to be remem
b red. The cars rocked from side to side, creak
*?* io every joint, and now and tuen lifting as
if about to leave tbe track. Everybody clung
to some support; those who knew Min condition
of the road bed expected to be hurled into
©termty every minute.
Lauer sat at the throttle, watching the rails
as they gleamed Uice silver threads. He was as
pale as those In the train behind, but, a* he re -
marked in telling the story the other day: “I'd
have gone up with pleasure before I would have
given that little cuss the chance to say I was a
squealer.*’
Once of looked hack at the swaying train and
said: “He won t stand it long."
The engineer was right. At a particularly bad
place the bell cord was jerked and the train
brought to a standstill. Jay Gould was picked
from under a seat, where ho had been thrown,
ami angrily faced the engineer, wbo had come
back to the car.
‘What in the name of all that is good and
holy do yon mean?" he demanded. “Do you
want to kill us all?”
“You said you wanted me to pull her open.”
replied Lauer, quietly.
Gould glared at the man fer a moment and
his manner changed.
“My man.’ he said, “you can go back there
and us© your own judgment the rest of the trip
I know how to manipulate a railroad, but I
guft'S you know more than I do about running
an engine.” Then ho was assisted to his berth.
The Stage In 1992.
Front the hew York Clipper.
'Twas ia At dream I saw a play
In nineteen ninety two;
The p ot had faded quits away—
The situations new;
A villain and a lovely girl,
AH innocent and true;
The peopie sat to witness that
In nineteen ninety-two.
Shakespeare, not even as a name.
Was known to critics shrewd;
The actor who asuired tq fame
I hought melodrama crude.
Variety and minstrel shows
Were memories to a few.
Provincial towns ne'er heard of clowns
In nineteen ninety-two.
Barnstorming was a thing unknown.
There were no railroad ties;
Each actor had a car—his own—
In a balloon of size
Tho ghost would never fail to walk,
As modern ghosts oft do;
Anew and sound joke had been found
In nineteen ninety-two.
The dead list had dwindled down
Until it numbered one;
Four matinees a day in town
The actors thought rare fun
The buzz-saw and the tank had flown
With other fads a few;
And “kids" went on—tor Gerry’d gone—
In nineteen ninety-two.
Alas' one thing had never changed
In every front row chair.
With order that was not estranged.
The bald-head man shone there'
The ballet hadn’t lost its grip;
The same girls now we view
Stood at the wings, the giddy things,
In nineteen ninety-two.
A Story That Adlal Tells.
Vice President-elect Stevenson tells a story
about his friend Joe Blackburn that is said to
have nettled the senator because it came too
near to the facts for mutual enjoyment In
early mauho and. it is raid, the senator was not
conspicuously retiring or reticent to such de
gree that it required more loan one yoke of
oxen to draw from him an opinion upon any
public question at auy time whatsoever. Mr.
Stevenson said that once, when a celebrated
de-iperado wa-i to be publicly executed in Ken
tucky. J. e Blackburn, then a rising politician
chanced *o to- among the spectators. Before
the sheriff adjusted the noose to the neck of
tbe condemned man he tendered him the cus
tomary privilege of making any dying observa
tions he might desire to, for the benefit of his
hearers.
"I don't think I've got any remark* that "
the man began to say, when he was cut short by
a loud, cheerful voice shouting;
“Bay, BiU, if you liain't got anything special
to talA about J wish you would give me about
fifteen minutes of your time just to let me say
to these good peoi le that lam a candidate for
their suffrage*, and to. show some reasons
why "
“Hold on!" said tbs desperado *'Sheriff
who is that man?"
"That's Blackburn.’!
“What Blackburn? Joe Blackburn'*'*
“Yes.”
"I thought so Give him time. Give him all
of it. But go ahead and hang me first, aud
make Blackburn talk afterward."
Intelligent Rats.
The Comhill Maoazine pays the following
tribute to the smartness of rats:
“If wild fowl that are visiting waters get fed
in order to encourage them to remain, the rat*
will come to see bow they eat it, and contrive
among themselves to appropriate the food. No
job is too bard for a rat. and 1 can say from
personal experience that a past master or
mist ers in ratcraft it ig hard tocircumvent
“The common house rat, the brown one i* a
first-rate swimmer and a good diver He will
watch the ducks and listen to all their call*
and if the bird* hare located themselves on
some small island he sw.ms out to it steal* the
eggs or kills and eat* the young bird*. If the
liest is near tho water, by the aide of som*
stream or outlet, the rats will cross with the
young ducks, after they have killed them to
the other side. A dozen young ducks half
eaten, have been found under one large stone
close to the water’s edge. They will watch
close by for the departure of man or dog—tbev
know well when these have gone -and then
they do their work quickly. Stoats and wea
eels are really benefactors to man. for they will
kill rats and mice iu creat numbers. Pheasants
and partridges suffer in like manner as tbe
ducks, but to a less extent."

FLAVORING EXTRACTS.
Why
Are they Wanted?
Because they never spoil nice
desserts.
Because the cakes, puddings,
creams, etc., are made to
please the most refined taste.
Because they are extracted by
anew method, from the true
fruit, so that each has its own
natural and distinctive char
acter. That is why Dr.
Price’s Delicious Flavoring
Extracts, Lemon, Orange,
Vanilla, etc., are wanted. To
the connoisseur the difference
between them and the com
mon Flavoring Extracts is so
great that it cannot be ex
pressed inwords. A trial
will prove their superior
excellence.
ITEMS OF INTBBBST.
Dr. Sarqent of Harrard University has
measured nearly 10,000 women with a view of
their perfect physical development, and it Is
said that he las not yet found “a perfect femi
nine figure." The nearest approach that has
been made to this result ia a Pennsylvania
youu(? woman, and even she, though taking a
prize for her physical development, was con
fessedly lacking in some points of her physique.
A Mlle. Polaire sang the composition of a
well-known sportsman in Paris recently and
her listeners applauded vociferously. Then a
bouquet was presented to her. Not a nice,
handy little thing which could easily be grasped
by a lady’s dainty hand, but a nosegay in the
shape of a life-sized horse, whioh, either by
mean* of a figure inside, or because it was pro
pelled from behind, advanced on to the stage
by itself.
Since the establishment of the federal gov
ernment, New York has had 42 cabinet appoint
ments, Massachusetts 37, Pennsylvania 36 and
Virginia and West Virginia together 43. Cali
fornia, now one of the largest and most im
portant states, has never bad a place in tbe
cabinet. The only cabinet office ever held by a
man from either of the Pacific states was that
of Attorney General, held by George Williams
under Grant. New York has had five st-cre
taries of state, six of the treasury, five of war.
four of tho navy, three Postmasters General and
three Attorneys General, but it ha* never had a
secretary of the interior department.
There is something inexpressibly repelling in
the supet cilium triste of a camel as he look*
scornfully at you. with his nose in the air, says
a writer in the London Spectator, But I over
came my repugnance and mounted one, after
receiving careful instructi ms how to retain my
seat while the brute was getting up. It was
wed enough while he waited, but when he b>-
gan to trot at a brisk pace I devoutly wished
myself astride on a humbler animal. But how
was Ito stop him? There was no bridle, only a
rope attached to the left side of the brute's
mouth. At that rope I tugged, with the effect
merely of making my camel trot to the left. I
had been told that if I wished to make him go
to the right I must hit him on the
left side of the head with a very short
stick, with which I had been pro
vided for the purpose But that was more
easily seid than cone. How was I, from my
giddy p T'-h. to reach the creature's head across
that long stretch of neck? I tried it and nearly
Ist my. balance for my pains—no joke at a
hight of some ten feet above the pebbly saud.
One of the officers, however, eaw mv plight,
stopped, uttered some gurgling sound ."and then
the camel, exposing its teeth and protest.ng
vigorously, knelt down, aud I dismounted, vow
ing that never again would I choose that mode
of locomotion. My deliverer, who exchanged
his donkey for my camel, laughed heartily at
my discomfiture. But. I had my revenge speed
ily, for in the exuberance of his gayety he al
lowed the camel 10 rise unexpectedly and was
pitche i head over I eels on the ground. He was
not hurt and ho joined in the laugh against him
self as heartily as he had laughed at me,
Every oyster has a mouth, a heart, a liver, a
stomach, besides many curiously devised little
intestines, necessary organs such as would to
handy to a living, moving, intelligent creature,
says the St. Louis Renubitc. The mouth is at
the end of the shell, near the hinge, and adjoin
ing the toothed portion of the oyster's pearly
covering. This tiny little apology of a mouth
is oval in shape, and altnough hardly visible to
one unused to making such anatomical exami
nations, can be easily discovered by gently
pushing a bodEin or a pieoe of blunt, smooth
wire along the surface of the locality mentioned.
When the mouth is at last located you can
thrust your instrument through between tbe
delicate llpsand a considerable distance toward
the stomach without causing the oyster tbe
least pain whatever. From this mouth there is
of course a miniature canal leading to tbe
stomach. Food Casses through this canal to
the stomach, and from the latter organ into
the intestines, just as readily as though the
bivalve were as large as an elephant or a
rhinoceros. Remove .the shell (this operation
is rather tough on the oyster, but can be done
in a comparatively painless manner bv an ex
pert), and you will see the crescent, which lies
just over the so-called heart. This ha f moon
space is the oyster’s pericardium. Within is
the true heart, the puleations of which can be
readily seen without the aid of a glass. The
heart is very human-like, made of two part*
one of which receives the blood from the gills
through a network of real blood vi sseis.the other
portion contracts and drives tbe blood out
through the body. Tbe other organs of an
oyster’s anatomy are all in the proper places and
performing tbeir severalfunctions. If you don't
believe this story, examine one for your-elf.
Few except those who have been through the
experience are aware what exertion and strain
and exhaustion a hotly-contested foot ball
match involves. It is ail a great deal more
than appear* on tbe surface, and the self-con
trol required in ibe midst of great exeuemsnt
adds to tbe nervous tension besides tbe pbys.cal
fatigue. This of itself is enough to try an aver
age man, but when to it is added the struggb-e
the falls; the grappiings, the blows (for accord
ing to tue Philadelphia Amea, there are blows
once iu a while), it requires stamiua and real
endurance as well as strength to stand it. Be
cause the men on the opposite sides in the field
are not seen squaring off and striking at each
other in regular Sullivan-Corbett style, it does
not follow tbat there are not scientific waye in
wuich in the tusaeis the team can be materially
weakened or *ome particularly aggr-sslve mem
ber of it disabled. Let any man iu fair condition
be suddenly thrown to the ground and then
have one or two heavy men. or it may be seven
or eight fall and throw their weight
on?3 him. Possibly his hand may
be under one of their feet, or (in the fail one of
tbeir forearms may have ohuked him across
the neck How much wind and energy will an
average man have after one such experience at
that? And yet it is a common foot ball expe
rience. Many a man Is hurt more in a foot ball
fight than he cares to admit, and ohe makes
light of it and plays on for lbs sake of the col
lege team and from selT-pride. Bu games ap
pear to be growing rougher, and there are a
great many “accidents' *nd injuries, and, tak
ing all the 'earns in and around Fhiiadelphla, it
would be astonishing if the extent of the in
juries received in foot ball were known There
is one doctur iu Philadelphia who has on his list
thirty cases of iDjury at foot ball and they aie
nearly all cases requiring surgical treatment.
