It seems that to the District of Columbia should belong the honor of providing the military escort to the Presideut-elect on in augural occasions. The distriot is, in a sense, the host ot the event. An lowa genius has invented a revolving grand stand which, placed inside of the race track, revolves during the progress of a race and keeps the audience always facing the horses as they travel around the track. The betting ring is on the ground floor of the revolving grand stand, consequently the money ot the “bookies” is always iu circulation during the races. A German scientist propcses to disinfeot the Elbe and other riven by means of elec tricity. Hit idea is to pass an electric cur rent through the water, which, be asserts, will cause a ohemical change that will kill cholera and other germs. He says sewers may he (disinfected in a similar manner. And who can say that the wonderful electrical fluid may not yet supplant car bolic acid and chloride of lime? Maurice Bernhardt, son of Mme. Sarah, has challenged a Parisian editor to mortal combat because of cer:ain publications in his paper. Four times already has the young man defended bis mother on the ••field of honor,” each time escaping un scathed. The chances are that his usual lnok will attend him in this instance, his antagonist being a native Parisian. How ever, Maurice had better guard against “accidents.” The gripe that Cramp has on the Davy must be of an extraordinary character. After the announcement that the new war ship Brooklyn would tie built in San Francisco, Mr. Cramp visited the secretary ■nd bad a talk with him, with the result that Mr. Cramp will build the Brooklyn as well as the lowa at bis yards in Philadel phia. When these ships have been finished the Cramps will have done £'15,000,000 worth of work for the new navy. Two steamers of the Guion Line that have heretofore run to New York, the Alaska and the Arizona, have been iea-ej to a company doing business between Puget Bound, Wash., and the orient, and will run, in connection with the Northern Pacific railroad, from Seattle to China and Japan. The action of this government In the matter of immigration is sail to be the cause of the withdrawal of the ships from the Atlantic trade. But that trade will not suffer. There area plenty of other ships left to take care of the transatlantic travel and traffic. Tbe old adage that 1 ‘talk is cheap” does Dot bold good in every instance. A man went into the long distance telephone office in Chicago recently and deaired to talk to s6me one in New York. When all connec tions were made tbe clock outside began to tick o 9 seconds at the rate of S oenta per second- When tbe clook had ticked 2,200 tunes the occupant came out of tbe booth and deposited 100. Tbe next day tbe same man returned and talked to tbe time of bS>9& beats of the pendulum. and for this privilege paid <l7B. However, it after ward leaked out that tbe man saved 112,000 by the use of tbe telephone, so be probably dge not think 3 cents a second is such a big price for tbe privilege of talking to soother man more than a thousand miles away. Tweed fferz la Brooklyn. That the taxpayers In many of the large cities are robbed by those elected ami ap pointed to positions of honor and trust will hardly be denied. One < f the great diffi culties in this country, and doubtless in ether countries, is to keep dishonest men from getting into positions that afford them opportunities for stealing from the people. The laws against dishonesty in office arc not enforced as vigorously ns they should bo. The people stand a good deal before they hand together and demand the punish ment of officials who pillage them. The grand jury of Kings county. New York—the county in which Brooklyn Is situated -indicted soventy of the officials of that city a day or two ago for getting money cut of the city treasury on fraudu lent claims. It seems that the city appro priated quite a large sum of money for the Columbian relebratiou which took piece last October. The officials who had charge of the prepara tions rendered bills that are alleged to have teen fraudulent. For instance, in one hill they charged #11,400 for “stands.” It is said that the stands did not cost as much as i3,000. Other hills of a like outrageous character were rendered. The people of Brooklyn doubtless have bad reason for a long time to question the integrity of their municipal government or they would not have shown such indigna tion at the Columbian celebration swindle. They may not, however, have been able to get the evidence of wrong-doing that would justify them in taking steps toward pun ishing the suspected officials. But it seems that tbsy were able to get the evidence in the Columbian cele bration affair. They ought not to show the indicted officials any quarter. They should prosecute them vigorously, and if they suc ceed in convicting them they should insist upon having them punished to the full ex tent of the law. It is astonishing what easy consciences many officials, who are regarded as honest men, have when handling the public money. They will allow without question claims in volving ten* of thousands of dollars that are, in a measure, obviously fraudulent, simply because the claims are to be paid out of the money of the public. The percentage of officials who do not think it wrong in practice to defraud the people is remarka bly large. TV better the indicted Brooklyn officials are convicted or not, the action taken against them will have a salutary effect. It will be a warning to them and to others of their kind that the people of that city do uot intend to be robbed without an effort to protect themselves. The ' Industrial Legion." During the last month or two, at various times, dispatches have appeared In the daily papers telling of the organization of branches of the “Industrial legion” in Kansas and other western and southwestern states The correspondents of the press agencies were able to ascertain that the legion had some thing to do with politics, and that the alli auoe had something to do with the legion. But their relation* one with the other could not be authoritatively ascertained. The legioD, an oath-bound organization, would say nothing and the alliaucemeu were as dumb as hay seeds. At last an authority in alliance circles. Dr. C. W. Maoune, editor of the National Economist, has spoken through his paper. Here ie wbat he says of the "Industrial Legion:” “It is a secret political military organization, and is against the law in some states and should be In all. It is organized for the purpose of controlling the People’s party and supplanting the farmer*’ alliance, and to give permaueat positions of promi nence to a set of scheming politicians who now realize that they cannot dominate the farmers’ alliance for their own selfish pur poses.” The movement, Maoune says elsewhere, was gotten up to destroy the alliance. By whom he does not state; it is not necessary. He believes the Kausas clique, who turned him down at the recent alliance election, are responsible for the whole business. This clique Macune charged, at the time of the annual meeting of the alliance, with being third party politicians in the guise of allianoemen, and that they were bent on using the alliance for their own personal ends, even if it destroyed the order. The quarrel between Macune and the Kansans Is no doubt the cause of the ex posure of this latest annex to tbe alliance in the west. That it is an organization of alliancemen has been proved. It inny not have been * 'authorized by the alliance,” it is true. Neither was tbe organization of the Poople’a party “authorized” by the alli ance; yet nobody can truthfully deny that the alliance is the parent of that party. Tbe moral of it all is, that the sensible farmer will steer clear of the “Industrial Legion” and both factions of these quarrel ers, Macuno's as well as the Kansans. Tbe action of the Pennsylvania railroad in discharging employes merely because they ore union men means much lo tbe labor organizations. Heretofore, in a largo majority of instances, fights between corporations uud labor organizations have been tegun by the union involved striking tbe first blow. Lockouts on the ground that tbe men were unionists have (men com paratively few. while strikes because of the refusal of employers to recognize the unions have boen quite frequent. The Pennsylvania rood is one of the largest and most powerful railway systems In tbe country, and if its management has de termined to declare and make war upon organized labor, the chances are that tbe struggle will be very costly to those of its employes who refuse to accept the com pany’s terms of employment. It is rumored in St. Louis that the holy see has named Rt. Rev. F. 8. Chatard bishop of Vincennes, Ind., as assistant of Archbishop Kenrick of St. Louis with the right of succession. Bishop Chatard has many friends in Savannah who would be gratified to bear of his promotion. The St. Louis liepublic, speaking of Bishop Chatard ia connection with the rumor of his appoint ment as assistant to Archbishop Kenrick, says: “Bishop Chatard has many friends among influential laymen in this archdio cese and quite a number of relatives. He is a scholarly man and was at one time reotor of the American College at Home, whence he was elevated to the eplsoopai dignity.” The discipline maintained by the Cath olic church for ages has been one of the most remarkable features of that remark able church’s government. But it seems that of late, judging from the number of quarrels between Catholic clergymen, and tbe gravity thereof, there has arisen a dis position among followers of the faith In certain quarters to assert and maintain personal views even at the expense of vio lating the law of preoudent, if not actually the law for church government. THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1893. A Military Feature for the Fair. The suggestion of Adjt. Gen. Douglass, of Maryland, that congress appropriate *1,000,000 to provide for an encampment of 100,000 federal and state troops at the Columbian fair does not seem to rotet with much favor from lien. Schofield. There is no doubt that such an encampment would he a very attractive feature of the fair, but #1,000,000 w ould not go very far toward paying tne expenses of it. Adjt. Gen. Douglass does not say in his suggestion whether it is contemplated that state troops shall pay their own expenses. If it is his idea that they shall it would be a pretty difficult matter to get together a suf ficient number of state troops to make the whole number in the encampment 100,000. Gen. Schofield, commenting on the sug gestion, says that it would be difficult to find territory near the fair for so large a body of men, and that the expense of preparing the encampment grounds, providing trans portation, maintenance of troops, eta, would far exceed the amount of money that could, in all probability, be raised for such a purpose He also says that the instruction the troops would get would not be very valu able, because the exercisee would have to be confined to elementary maneuvers on the parade ground and marches in review And even the elementary maneuvers could not be made effective, because in the limited time the camp would ba in existence it would not be possible to give commanding and staff offioers the necessary instruction. Adjt. Gen. Douglass’ suggestion will do well enough to talk about, but there does not seem to be much probability of its be ing acted upon favorably. There would not be any difficulty in getting the necessary number of troops if all expenses were borne by the federal government. Each state coaid be depended upon for its quota, but unle6* Uncle Sam footed the bills U would be about impossible to get 100,000 troope into camp at the fair. The Panama Disclosures. It is expected that at the meeting of the Chamber of Deputies in Paris to-day, there will be fresh disclosures in the Panama scandal and attacks upon the government more virulent than any that have yet been made. The government, however, seems to be strong enough to take care ot itself. The anarchists and socialists are not as loud-mouthed as they were a week ago. That is due to the faot partly that the man who announced be had taken charge of the public movement that would sweep parlia ment into the gutter to-day is now locked in a prison celt. He will stay there until there is no danger of bis doing any harm. No other man baa offer.-d himself as a leader of ’ ’the great publio movement” and it is probable that there will be no notice able demonstration by the anarchists and socialists to-day, whatever may be the developments in the Chamber of Deputies. No doubt there has been a vast deal of corruption among Frenoh officials, but the moral condition of the publio men of the republic is not as bad as some of the oppon ents of tbe government would like to have the world believe. M. Audneux, who pre teuds to know a great deal about the Panama scandal, says that for "the last twelve years there boa not been one single important undertaking with whiob the publio authorities have had anything to do in which either the contractors or bankers have not had to bribe.” That is a serious statement. If the Frenoh people believed it they would have very little confidence in the future ot the republic. They do not, however, believe it. Recently the Morning News clipped from a Philadelphia paper and commented on the following alleged expression by Mr. Hamilton HisstoD, tbe rich saw manufact urer, and owner of extensive real estate interests in Florida: “I trust the demo crats will give the country free trade, wild cat ourrenoy and anything else that can be ooncocted to menace trade and manufact urers. Oiva the democrats opportunity to legislate against the interests of the country by all means. You’ll sea a republican tri umph of astounding magnitude in 1593.” Mr. 1 Heston has written a letter to the Morning News, in which he says be never inado such a statement to any newspaper. And further, be says: “I do not believe that tbe democrats intend to do anything which will injure -the business interests of tbis country. We had four years of Mr. Cleveland’s administration, and during which time the country was prosperous. I believe it to be tbe duty of every American citizen to do nil in his power to strengthen the hands of the President, no matter whether he be democrat or republican, and I for cue propose to do everything in my power to make the administration of Presi dent Cleveland a successful one." Mr. Huston’s statement of purpose is, indeed, gratifying. If other rich republican manu facturers would do ns he says be will, the second administration of Mr. Cleveland would stand out in history as marking one of the most prosperous eras the country ever had. Dr. McGlynn’s denial that he called the pope "an old woman” and “an old bag of bones” will get him into another peck of trouble; this time with the newspapers that bave repeatedly asserted that be made use of these expressions and otters no less disrespectful to the head of the Catholic church. The denial may raise a question of veracity between the priest and the re porters who “took” his speeches. The case of Dr. McGlynn is a very mysterious one, anyway, and eaoh changing phase makes it more mysterious. According to tbo New York Sun, Dr. McGlynn not only derided tbe pope in his speeches, hut threatened some of the church authorities, if they did not leave him alone, with the exposure of certain secrets that would result in making ‘ ’this country too hot to hold them." The priest’s restoration, with this and other alleged expressions neither denied nor re tracted. is something that cannot be under stood by tbs masses who have been attempt ing to follow the controversy. It is estimated by members of the New York Southerfl Society that there are in New York about 185,000 southerners, must of whom aro making a fair living. Mors than 111,000 of them voted In the late elec tion, en increase of 6,000 over tbe vote of previous years. Commenting on tbe south ern mau at tbe north, the New York Tri bune, says: “To tbe southerner starting out in life it is a serious question whether he sball,taks Horace Greeley's advice and go west or follow his own inclination and go north. Texas is literally overrun with Georgians. Tennesseeans, Alabamians and Mtssissipplans, but there are enough left to niaks a respectable colony in the metropo lis."

No one would go near them or do anything for them, and they seemed likely to die in the street. Mr. Plumb heard of their pitiable condition, bunted them up, secured quarters for them and nursed them himself. Both lived, but Mr. Plumb caught the disease, and had a hard time to pull through. He bore the pockmarks on his face to the day of his death. BRIGHT BITS.

On Dec. 1, 1892, there were 920,885 names on the national pension rolls—nearly one in every sixty of population of tbe United States. What wonder that some people say "Jerusalem!” Ia Ho Prepared for the Sacrifice? From Hie Cincinnati Tribune (Ind.).

From the St. Louis Republic (Dem.). It was very kind of Tom Platt to send Mr Cleveland a permit to deadhead anything he plea: eil over the llnqs of the United States Ex press Company, and it was not unkind of Mr Cleveland to fend it back—as he aid, probably on the ground that democrats did not elect Presidents to be deadheads in Mr. Platt’s enter prises. 9he Quaker's Withering: Scorn. From the New York Press (Rep.). Philadelphia scornfully declares that she Wouldn’t trade Independence had for the whole town ot Chicago. Her reluctance to part with the historic structure is considerably strength ened by the feeling that if Chicago got hold of it a picture of the venerable building would Boon appear as the trade-mark of some new brand of lard.

New York. Poor, sick and crippled children appeal strongly to her sympathies. The word "chess" is said to baa corruption of the Arabic word “sheikh,” meaning chief or king, says the Churchman. The game came westward by way of Persia, where the word sheikh became shah. It was the game of the king. The terra “check" is merely to give notice that the king is attacked, and ‘ check mate” means “the king is dead”; the verb mata being from the same root as the Spanish mata dor, the slayer of the bull. The word check, whether verb or noun, may be traced through several curious ramifications back to the Per sian and Arehic. Even the word exchequer is curiously tangled up in this verbal network. It seems rather incredible to speak of the candle power of search lights as in the millions and hundreds of millions, but according to the Electrical World this is warranted by facts. The lamp itself does not give a very high candle power when measured in any one direction, but when a magnifying lens is used, which collects all the light, as it were, and throws it in one di rection, the intensity of the light is Increased. For instance, in the search light which is being experimented with upou the world's fair grounds, the candle power of the arc light alone is only 110,000 caudles, the carbons being 14 inches long and 1 3-16 inches In diameter. When tins is surrounded by a reflector 4 feet in di ameter the candle power is multiplied lo the somew hat startling figure of 460,000 candles. They are trying what they call a good will farm in Maine, with a considerable degree of success. Bad boys are sent to it instead of to reform school*. On the farm they are se: a ratsd as far as possible into groups in a number of cottages that have been erected. The idea is that In this way the boys may be subject to the beneficial influences of home life. The house hold work in t ach of these families is divided up among the boys, who also work upon the farm or id shops Ihe same thing is to be tried in Massachusetts also. A farm has been bought in Danvers, on which it is proposed to care for 500 homeless and destitute children. Its distinctive feature, the cottage system, might well be triea on a larger scale in other states in place of ihe great institutions in which so many boys aud girls uro huddled together. The following j rospectus of a gifted barber of Nuremberg, who flourished in the year 1640, is published by a German newspaper: "Isaac Makeri, baruer, maker of perruques, surgeon, dyer, school- master, blacksmith aud accouch eur, s! aves for a kreutzer, outs hair for two kreutzers, including pomade for pretty girls, cieaus stoves, instructs noble young persons, without difficulty, in tue principle* of grammar, and teaebss them flue manners as well as the alphabet.

N. B.—Teaches also chog raphy (V) aud foreign prcduois every Wednes day and Saturday." A correspondent says that the good citizens of Kempen, in Hulland, where Thomas a’Kem pia was born, do some droll things. At one time a fire broke out. and much damage was done because the engines were out of repair. The council met, and after much argument it was voted that on the eve preceding every fire the town officers should carefully exannue the engines, pumps, etc. One of the greatest profits of the town was tne toll exacted at the gates. The council wished to luere v e the income, and instead of increasing the toll it voted to doub'e the number of gates. This same council also ordered the sun dial to be taken from the court house common and placed under Cover, where it would be protected from the weather. But of ail the queer things that are told of Kompen and its people nothing is so absurd as this: Grass grew on the top of a very high tower, and the omy way tii t-e droll Dutchmen could think of to get it oil was to hoist a cow up aud let her eat It. “Tbe pencils they are making now are better than they used to be,” said R. G. Johnson to a Washington Post writer, as he sharpened a Faber at Willard's. “Millions of dollars are in vested in the industry and the American prod uct is the finest in the world. The durability of the writing is remarkable. I remember that w hen in Vicksburg once a steam ooat explosion occurred about 100 miles up the river. The vessel was called the .Morning Star and was shattered, and several people were drowned. In a day or two afterward some ofter drift eaine down, cotton bales, cabin chairs, doors, blinds, etc. Among the debris were a good many papers from the clerk’s of fice. Strange as it may seem, the action of the water had almost obliterated the writing in ink, and that traced by lead pencil was as plain as when put on the paper. I recollect particu larly toe body of a Jewish merchant named Solomon. Gehr which was not recovered until some days after. In his coat pocket was a bun dle of notes from his wife written in lead pencil and not a word missing.” As has been hinted by the Philadelphia Press, several long articles, if not whole volumes, could be written under the general title of "Curiosities About Teeth.” At Yakadama, Japan, there is a costly temple built for the sole purpose of affording a shelter for one of the grinders of an ancient god of a certain Hindoo sect. Tbis palace is known by the high sound ing title of "the palace of the sacred tooth." and is a costly and elegant structure in every sense of the word. According to the mythology of India the goa who formerly owned the tooth pulled it cut to hurl it at a gigantic cobra when tbe irreverent serpent had been so indiscreet as to make an attack upon his god ship. In the latter part of the last century Eu ropeans captured Y akadama and partially de stroyed the tooth palace The tooth itself, which had been au object of heathen adoration for centuries, was ground to a powder and thrown in the river. But the particles came to gether, so the Hindoo priests say, and again formed themselves luto a perfect tooth, which was found after (he siege quietly reposing in the bed of the stream. The temple has been rebuilt, aud the tooth, more revered tnan ever since the attempted destruction, is again en shrined as an object of adoration. It is kept in a gold box, wrapped in films from the sacred white spider's web. the first gold box being in eight atbers of the same precious metal. SHOE!*.
