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."

An iNCrbttfT in thdeare r of the late Senator

he vrai practicing law at Kmporia, Kan . and
before he had obtained any prominence in the
field of politics, a couple of immigrants were
put off at the station.’” They had the smatl-pox,
and had been dumped off the train by the rail
road people without any ceremony. 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.

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. He puts on heels in a masterly man
ner. repairs boots and shoes, teaches the haut
boy and the flute, lets blood, lends on wages,
give* lessons in the cotillon and other dances,
sells cosmetics of all kinds, paper, wax, salt
herrings, brushes, mouse traps, various pre
serves, strengthening herbs, potatoes, sausages
and vegetables. 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.
