"With Jerry Simpson, State Chairman Briedenthal and Judge Martin, the leading populist candidates out of r e race for seu ator from Kansa-, as is believed to be the case, the chaaces appear good for the elec tion of an old-line democrat or republican, with the odds iu favor of a democrat. Senators Kyle andFoffer, populists, have, •Kscording to the WashiDgton Post , agreed to act with the democrats in the reorgani zation of the Senate, in consideration of which they will bo allowed to name the sergeant at-arms of the Senate. Their ohoioe it said to be a democratic ex-soldier. t lentils Man Eorter says ne has no idea of reeiguingand no fear of being removed be fore the census is completed aud published.

In our dispatches yesterday it was stated that Mr. Cleveland would appoint a Geor gian to a position in his cabinet provided I tbe leaders of tbo Democratic party of 1 Georgia would get together and agree upon someone of the:r number for the position. I So many similar statements get into the 1 public prints that it is difficult to separate | those which are true from those which are false. It is not at all improbable, however, that the statement in respect to Georgia is j true. Georgia is the Empire state of the south, and she gave Mr. Cleveland a very large majority. The great majority of her demo cratic voters favored his nomination, and she would l ave tent a solid Cleveland dele gation to the nati nal democratic conven tion if their will bad not been defeated by the tactics of some of the demoot atio lead ers who favored tbe nomination of Senator HiiL As it was a majority of her delega tion to Chicago were Cleveland men. But if the leaders were to get together, who would they 1 ikely recommend? Sev eral gentlemen who would be agreeable to Mr. Cleveland have been mentioned Among them are Representatives Blount and Turner. They are both men of high character and unquestioned ability, and either would reflect credit upon Mr. Cleve land’s administration. In some respects Mr. Turner is, perhaps, tbe abler, but Mr. Blount has had the greater experience in public affairs. Mr. Blount declined a renomination to congress. In doing so it was his purpose, in all probability, to retire from publio life and devote himself to his private affairs. But if he were offered a cabinet position— that of Dost master General, for instance - it is pretty afe to say he would accept it. An bonor of that kind is not often declined even by thoso who have filled positions equally as great. If Mr. Turner should go into the cabinet an election would have to be held in tbe Eleventh congressional district to fill the vacancy bis promotion would make. Tbe appointment of Mr. Blount would not make an election in Mr. Blount’s distnot necessary. In view of the fact that one of there gen tlemen is about as acceptable to Mr. Cleve land as the o:ber it is extremely probable that if the leaders of the Georgia democracy were to make any recommendation they would recommend Mr. Blount. If, as understood, tbe south is to have three places in tbe cabinet the ohances are that the three will be Mr. Carlisle, of Ken tucky, who has been offered the secretary ship of the treasury, Mr. Blount, of this state, aud Mr. Culberson, of Texas. It is true that ex-Seuator Eustls, of Lou isiana, is spoken of, and there is a chance that he will be one of the three Instead of Mr. Culberson. Mr. Cleveland, however, would not make a mlstako in selecting aoy of those named. Edward Murphy’* Pledge Among the reports in political olroles In New York, according to our dispatches, is one to tho effect that Edward Murphy, Jr., who is to be elected United States senator from New York, commissioned Mr. Croker to carry bis pledge to Mr. Cleveland that be would in no way embarrass his administra tion, but would do all in his power to make it successful and harmonious. There may be some truth in this story. It is to be hoped there is, but Mr. Murphy must have a very forgiving nature to send suoh a pledge to Mr. Cleveland so soon after Mr. Cleveland said that be did not think Mr. Murpby had the qualifications necessary to rupresout satisfactorily the great state of Now York in the Senate. There is an impression in Washington that both Mr. Hill and Mr. Murphy intend to antagonize Mr. Cleveland to tbo extent of their ability If be does not let them dis tribute tbo federal patronage in New York. Oue democratio senator, a warm supporter of Mr. Cleveland, is quoted as saying: “We are sure to have stirring times in the Senate after the new administration comes in. lam aorry to say that a bitter war is to be made on Mr. Cleveland by the repub lican senators, and they are to have the assistance of two or three democrats. If llr. Cleveland refuses to accept the lecom mendations of Senator* Hill and Murphy relative to New York appointments these two senators will join tbe republicans ia opposing all of Mr. Cleveland's appoint ments, aud In other ways do what they can to make his administration a failure.” It is to be hoped that the senator who made the foregoing statement is mistaken, and that Mr. Cleveland will have the sup port of both of the New York seuators. They would risk a good deal in opposing Mr. Cleveland, because he is certain to have the support of tbe people, not only of New Y ork, but of every other state. A contest between Mr. Cleveland and Messrs. Hill and Murphy would not eeriousiv embarrass Mr. Cleveland, but it would result in smashing tbo political machine in New York, in which Messrs, Hill and Murphy place so much reliance. The wiser course for them to pursue would be to give Mr. Cleveland a hearty support, evea if ha should not per mit them to dictate the New York appoint, ments. The populists of Kansas have at last got one ot tbeir dearest wishes, the entire con trol of tho state. During tbe campaign their candidates originated and defended numerous schemes for financial relief and promised to reduce them to laws if they were given the reins of government. And the now governor favored in hi* inaugural address a stats loan agency, through w blelt anybody and everybody could borrow money, the debt to he guaranteed by tha state. Now let’s see how these populists are going to fulfill their promisee. It's a sub-treasury to a squash that they will make a bluff at tbe reforms and then go right on governing the state in pretty much the same style that has obtained ever since Kansas became a state. Heaven defend us! Ex-Senator Blair, wno will be a member of the next House, is talking abo .t introducing his educational bill iu that body. He says he knows that nine-tenths of the people are opposed to the “best aud brightest things in the world,” among which things he classes his notorious bill, but for all that be thinks it is bis duty to keep on urging it upon them. The 00m mander of the Vesuvius should have secured that bill to use as a wad for tbe first ohargs of gun cotton he fires off. Tbe rush for Senator Carlisle's seat is be coming rather unseemly. Kentucky states men should bear iu mind that Mr. Carlisle is yet ueither a cabiuet mimitor nor a dead man, s i bis seat is not vacant. When it is announced that bo has been offered and has accepted the treasury portfolio it will be time for candidates for bis seat to declare themselves. However, in these days politics seldom wait* uu propriety. THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 11, 1893. Senator Teller's Tall Talk. If Senator Teller is to be believed there is not goiDg to be any silver legislation for a good wbiie. But what he says must be taken with many grains of allowance. He represents a constituency whose chief interest is silver, nd bo would be glad it silver should become the standard of value in tbe place of gold. It is gratifying to know that not many senators bold opinions similar to his relative to silver. In the Senate on Monday Senator Mc- Pherson’s resolution authorizing the Secre tary of tbe Treasury to suspend the pur chase of silver came up for consideration. The senator, in the course of bis speech, read tbe plank of tbe national democratic platform that declares that the Sherman act, authorizing the purchase of silver, must be repealed. A few of tbe democratic sen ators do not seem inclined to vote in ac cordance with the declared polioy of their party. If they do not they will be made to feel probably that they have made a mistake. * It is no doubt tbe disposition which some democratic senators and representatives show to disregard the wish of their party in this matter of silver that led Senator Teller, at the conclusion of the speech of Senator McPherson, to declare that those who de sired the repeal of the silver purchase act might butt tbeir beads against the wall as much as they chose, but that they had not got the vote of the Senate or House to re peal the law: that it was morally certain that it could not be repealed before March 4, and that it was not likely to be repealed after that date. Tbe law has got to be repealed aud that, too, at no very distant day, notwithstand ing the emp’.atic declaration of Senator Teller. There isn't a congressman who doesn’t know that it threatens financial d.saater, and that it benefits nobody except the silver mine owners. Tbe fact that there are half a dozen or more bills providing for its repeal pending is satisfactory evidence that it is a menace to the prosperity of the country. Senator Teller's talk is only bluster. He will sse tbe law repealed be fore bo is much older. Rather Early to Talk of ’96. Although Mr. Cleveland has not yet been Inaugurated, there is considerable talk of Senator Carlisle at the democratic candi date for President in 1890. Editor Wattar -600, of the Courier-Journal , says; “If Mr. Carlisle administers the treasury as the country has reason to expect he will, no power on earth could keep him out of tbe presidency if he wants it. I be lieve he can harmonize the many divergent economic views of his party at can no other man, and will give a groater measure of satisfaction to the delicate and sensitive business elements aud interests of tho na tion.’! If Mr. Carlisle should accept tbo treasury portfolio It would be time enough to dis cuss his avallab.lity as a presidential candi date two years hence. It cau be safely said, however, that if he should make a success ful Secretary of tbe Treasury he would stand an excellent chance for tbe presidential nomination of bis party in 189 fl. There is no democratio leader wno enjoys groater popularity in his party, and the whole country has confidence iu his fairness and integrity. AVheu he was speaker of the House he ruled that body, not so muoh by the aggres lve use of tbe power which his office gave him as by winning obedien e by the absolute imparti ality of his ruliugi. Hit fairness dis armed opposition. If be should accept the treasury portfolio there would be a very general feeling that he would endeavor to do what was best for the interests of the whole country. He might make mistakes, but be would not adopt a policy that favored one class or one section of the country at the expense of another. Being guided by the highest and purest motives the prolia billties are that be would be a very popular secretary, aud would ocoupy a strong position if he should be a candidate to suc ceed Mr. Cleveland. Some pains have been taken iu certain quarters to make Mrs. Jefferson Davis be lieve that any fund that might be raised for her, by etate legislatures or otherwise, would be regarded as alms. One Missis sippi paper bad the hardihood to say so in as many words. As might be expected from a sensitive and proud woman, she re fuses to accept oharity. Asa matter of fact, the south owes it to itself to tee that Mrs. Davis and her charming daughter are provided for, aud such provision would in no sense be a charity, but the payment of a debt of honor. It is not probable that Mr. Cleveland's opposition to Edward Murphy’s candidacy for the New York seuatorship was based on fear that Murphy would "embarrass the administration,” or he would not have said so plainly that it was Murphy’s lack of brain force that he objected to. Mr. Cleveland merely desired to seo New \ ork represented as one of the greatest states in the country should be—by an original thinker and intel ligent worker for the poopie, not the machine. The persons who consent to act as judges at the Savauuah Volunteer Guards’ baby show had better make me of the time between now aud the renderiatr of their decision in prepari ig for a a extended absence from the city. Two score or more of young mothers who have been told, offi cially, that their darliugs are not as pretty as somebody else e, are capable of mating a city the size of this too hot to hold tbe people who said so. Mr. Tom Watson need not waste his val uable time in introducing bills to create new offices. If every one be could suggest should be instituted by congress be would not be given one of them. Mr. Watson would probably do well to devote the remainder of hit term preparing and marketing maga zine articles. He announced eome time ago, just after be had sold an article _for (00, that he was charmed by literature. Tho Slaven Dredging Companv of New York made a ueat sum of money out of the I’anama Canal Company. The mana gers of the drodge company say they re ceived (20,000,000, but it was for actual work done at a certain price, so that there are no “revelations” to be made that will hurt them. It would be considered quite a feat for an ordinary man to keep one eye on Albany and tbe other on Austin, but that u what tbe politicians did yesterday. The oonteste for senatorial nominations in New York ami Texas were the cause of it. It is to be hoped that tbe McUarraban bill will be disposed of by congress this week. Tbe public would like to know what tbe Keiiate thinks of the bill that Senator Ben iamin Harrison favored aud I’reeideut Ben jamin Harrison vetoed. PERSONAL.

A Labor Question. “ Hammond, pay Miss Manly $3 additional Saturday night, and until further notice.” "Yes. sir.” Mr Johnson seated bimseir st bis desk and began opening the morning mall. He was man ager of tbe big firm of Bayard Brothers. -Mr. Hammond was his cashier, Mbs Manly his stenographer. I -t-soc Johnson had been a poor boy, and had worked Limseif up t y degrees, says Harper's Weekly. He appreciated, therefore, the rights of labor and tne rewards of industry, and he en deavored to treat hia subordinates fairly. He tried also not to favor Miss Manly merely be cause he loved her. He would hare allowed her the same advance under other circum stances. aud just as quickly. But Miss Manly, a bright young iady of 20, who had never seen any very bard times, was inclined to be a socialist and an agitator of a decided type. She was in sympathy with strikes and labor unions, and favored redistri butions of wealth and various other measures of a more or less heretical nature. 3lr. John- Eon, who had been all over the ground, was diametrically opposed to these opinions. They had argued the matter at length and somewhat warmly at various times Just now tbe Homestead affair was at its higbt. Miss Alanly was full o* it; and later in tbe day, when there was a lull in their work, the quest.ou suddenly developed itself in the little office, and straightway there was a battle royal. Despite their love for each other, these two young people were very firm in their beliefs and vigorous in their expression of them. At the end of half an hour Mr. (Johnson retired from the field to avoid a downright quarrel. Pretty .Miss Manly was flushed and triumphant. During the rest of the week there was just the slightest trace of coolness b-tween them. Saturday night came, and with it Miss Man ly’s increase of salary. Mr. Hammond had left the office earl.er than usual, aud the young lady was alone with her superior. She ap proached bis desk, her ch- eks very red. "Mr. Johnson.” she said, curtly, “I did not ci n-i ler that our argument had any personal application,” and she laid before him three sil ver dollars. lie hesitated a moment; then he pushed them back a little and turned toward her. "i beueve I do not understand you," he re plied, also reddening. "1 bad spoken to Mr. Hammond before our discussion, if that is what you mean. You surely do not think—that X thought that—that—you were speaking for yourself—did you, Carrie?” he added gently and pleadingly “You know I could not think that. ” But Miss Carrie was fiery and impetuous and ready to believe anything for the moment. Her recent victory had not yielded the satis faction she had expected. .She loved Leslie very dearly, and she was all the more inclined to blame him and punish him for their recent estrangement. “I do not know what to think.” she said, sharply, "but 1 believe you wanted to humiliate me and heap coals of fire on my bead because X defeated your arguments," aud she again seized the money and tossed it down before him with such force that oue of the coins rolled from the green cloth into the waste basket, Mr Johnson turned quickly from red to white, and without a moment's hesitation took up the htber two and tossed them after their fellow. Miss Manly’s eyes fainy blazed. “So,” she cried, stamping her little foot, “you cannot humble me. so you insult me. You take the advantage of your position to victimize me. X am glad X have found you out in time, Leslie Johnson; and I will say good night to you, sir, and I trust you will have no difficulty iu filling my place—both of my places— Johnson." Hhe flirted out of the little office and was gone. Mr. Johnson sat for some moments pale an I half dazed Then he leaoed his head forward, and sat thinking for a long time, with his face m his hands. By-and-by, while be could yet see to write, be took a pen and wrote a few lines cn one of the firm's letter-heads, folded and addressed it. and taking it into the presi dent s private office, laid it conspicuously upon his desk. It was his resignation. On Monday morning the office boy found three silver dollars in tue waste basket. He Was In Need of a Dollar. With groaning brakes and a last rattle-ty bang tbe long train came to a halt (n the dark ness of Colorado Junction, says the New York Fun. The door of tbe smoking car opened slowly and a Weary Willy of a tramp slid in. “Gentlemen. I heg y ur pardon,” he said, pulling from his head & hat of which little was left but the brim. The men at tbo poker table looked up. Tbe tramp's coat was a disappointed frock of the shabby genteel cut. Tue short skirts had fringe on them, and tbe cloth was of the color known as “guess again.” His beard was tho only tiling that be wore which didn’t bear tbo misfit stamp. “Gentlemen," he said again.

Tea mtles out of Colorado Junction, and in a desert, the train was brought to a sudden halt. There was a sculfle under the smoking car and the tramp was dragged out. "Guess a 10-mile walk to-night ’ll make you lees careless about stealing rides on the trucks," said tho conductor as he swung on the train and signaled "Go ahead.” We looked out of the smoking oar wi- dowg and pitied the tramp Just as the train began to move his voice arose, saying: "Gentlemen, pardon, but can any one toll me where I cau ilud a real good hotel around her ?"

It is related that some years ago Surgeon Brayton ot the army was captured by the Tonto Apaches and held for some time a prisoner in a secluded camp among tne Tooto mountains of estern Arizona. By his skill iu treating the sickness among them he won tbeir regard and gratitude, and they took him into a deep ravine among the Hills wnere there was a small run ning stream and allowed him to work tue auri ferous gra el which he found there for gold It was so rich that he soon filled his pockets with large nuggets. He knew that several bul lets taken from the bodies of soldiers wounded In encounters with tnese Indians and pre serve in the Smithsonian institutlnn at Wash ington, were made of gold, and concluded tnat they had showed him the mine where they pro cured the metal Soon afterward he mads his e cape aud succeeded in reaching Fort Yuma He has led several expeditions since in search of this fabulous mine, but strange to say he lias never been able to find it. old miners now think it is somewhere in the neighborhood of the newly discovered San Juan diggings and say that when discovered it will undoubtedly prove the richest mine that was ever known BAKIVO POWDER.

The Loius Club of New York will give a din ner to Mayor Gilroy on Saturday evening Jan. 14. A cousin of the late Baron Reinach. the inter mediary in the Banaraa canal corruption, said of him that outside the family circle he did not know the difference between right and wrong and that his greed for money was in satiable. Not long ago tbs inhabitant* of the town of Salti, in bnrdinia. petitioned the Austrian gov ernment for a separate municipal existence. It beinz part of Buddeso. which is forty miles away, a comuiis-ioner was sent to make Inqui ries. and this remarkable report was made : "Tne people of Saiti have no town council, no police, no clergyman, no physician. The town possesses uo post office, no church or chrpel, no school, no registrar’s office. On the maps of the kingdom, altnougn It contains 1.200 inhabitants, it is not marked. Yet tbe state receives taxes from the people, but sends no tax collector to receive them. The tax payers journey sixty kilometres once in every eight weeks to pay taxes. Once a year, in May, all the children born during the year are tak-n to Buddeso. and there baptised. Tbe dead are buried iu the most primitive manner, and with out any trace of religious rites. Marriages are conducted on the same system, without any formality or ceremony, and are declared later, sometimes long after they have been blessed with issue. Vaccination and medicines are only known from hearsay. The cnildren grow up without schooling or instruction of any kind.” D. J onesco has compiled statistics concern ing trees which are struck by lightning, and ar rives at the to lowing interesting conclusions, which are given in the last issue of the Electrical World. It has been supposed for a long time that certain kinds of trees are par ticularly subject to destruction by lightning, while others are quite free from danger. Among the first is the oak and among the lat ter the laurel. An investigation of this state ment led that writer to tbe following con clusion: "At a very high potential of electrical discharges all kinds of trees may bj subject to destruction troin lightning. Trees containing oils are less subject to be struck, those con taining very much oil being protected the most. Lightning appears to prefer those trees which contain oil to a slight degree only in summer. The quantity of water contained in the trees has no effect on their liability to be ing struck. Dead limbs of trees, of those con taining starch as well as of those containibg oil. are particularly subject to being ftruck. Cam bium, bark, and leaves do not alter tbe con ductivity of trees. Tbe nature of the soil has no connection with the frequency of destruc tion of tbe trees by iightning." Granite for columns, balusters, round posts and urns is now worked chiefly in lathes, which, for tho heaviest work, are made large enough to handle b ocks 25 feet long and 6 feet in diame ter, says the it aver I u Magazine. Instead of being turned to the desired size by sharp-cut ting instruments, as in ordinary machines for turning wood and metal, granite is turned or ground away by the wedge like action of rather thick steel disks, rotated by the pressure of the stone as it slowly turns In the lathe. Tbe disks, which are six or eight inches in diameter, are set at quite an angle to the stone and move with an automatic carriage along the lathe bed. I.arge lathes have four disks, two on each side, and a column may bo reduced some two inches in diameter the whole length of the stone by one lateral move - ment of the carriage along the bed The first lathe for turning granite cut only cylindrical or con cal columns, but an improved form Is so made that templets or patterns tnay be inserted to guide the carriages, and columns having any desired swell may be as readily turned For fine grinding and polishing the granite is trans ferred to another lathe, where tne only ma chinery used is to produce a simple turning or revolution of the stone against iron blocks car rying the necessary grinding or polishing ma terlal. Some time ago there was a movement inaug urated in Paris to establish drug stores where drugs could be had at a small advance over the cost price. This did not suit the established druggists, and their opposition has several times gone as far as rioting in eome of the new establishments. This state of affairs has brought out some very interesting statements as to the profits made by the old time drug gists. With them, it appears, fixed prices are unknown, and tbe trofits may vary between 50 per cent, aud several thousands per cent., accord! it to the kind of goods sold, or the presumed social position of the purchaser Antipyrinecosts at wholesale 120 francs ter kilorrarame, while the retail price varies from 300 francs up to 4,000 francs; bicar bonate of soda costs 40 centimes, and is sold for 2 frauci, 3 francs and more; bromide of potassium is 5 francs to the dealer, and 18 francs at least to the public, sulphuric ether is also 16 franc* to the public, although it costs only 3 francs 25 centimes; sulphate of quinine Is B 0 francs or thereab uta, but by tbe time the public get it it is 750 francs. Prescriptions yield, of course, even more profit No charge less than 1H franc is made, even if the bottle contains m khing but distilled water. Of course such extortion is unknown on this aids of the Atlantic, ssys the New Orleans Picayune, though it Is a very costly thing to bo sick, even here. Some time ago the suggestion wag made in one of the London newspapers that a society should be formed to suppress the growing evil and scandal of street profanity, says a London cablegram. It was generally admitted that Fngllsh towns were disgracefully pre eminent in the matter of cursing and swearing in publio places, and that Knglisb street loafers possessed probably the foulest mouths in all Christendom The proposal came to nothing for various rea sons, one of which was that it would be as un popu ar and dangerous to interfere with the English workman s privilege to curse whenever h • felt that way inclined as to meddle with his right to get drunk. This week it has been tardily discovered that the statute book act ually contains an act. passed in the reign of George 11.. “for the suppression of profanity " and tbe iaw was put In force on last Wednesday st Wisbeach. The act is delightfully c mpre hensi e, tbe only defect being the absence of a schedule ot oaths and an appraisement of their comparative wickedness. Penalties are im posed according to the social poeition of of fenders Tbe scale It 1 stillliug per oath when uttered by a laliorer. 2 shillings when the sinner Is above a laborer and under the degree of a gentleman and 5 shillings when spoken by any one above the degreo of gent.eman, Tue punishment is applicable whether the offense be committed in tbe public streets or in a man’s own house, which seems somewhat restrictive of tbe liberty of the subject and opens up possibilities of domestic complica tions. The Wisbeac i esse, however, was per fectly simple. The prisoner uttered four wicked words in s pu die street, and. being a mere laliorer, he was ordered to pay a shilling for escli oath and thtrt en shillings costa SPORTING GOODS.
