Mr. Blaine was at death's door, almost, •
while Gen. Butler was attending court and
tlenator Kenno was reported to be rapidly

marvelous.
Usually, when there is a fight between
monopolies, tbe public is benefited by the
lowering of the cost of the commodity
handled by them. But uobody will be
benefited by a fight between tbe cigarette

greater amount of injury they may do.
"Protection is not deed by any means,’’
■aid Mr. Cornelius N. Bliss to a New York
i>s writer recently. ‘‘l do not regard
•be yerdiot at the polls last November as
settling the question.” "I am as long end

pile driver had finished its work; “my head
is a little sore, but when 1 get out of this
mud I’ll grow leaves again.” But it never
got out of the mud.
Postmaster General. TVanamaker esti
mates that fully 100,000 complete sets of the
new Columbian stamps will be taken by
collectors. As the cost is sl6 per set, it
will be seen that, should the estimate prove
correct, the revenues of the postoffice would
be considerably increased this year from a
source altogether outside of its earnings.
The stamps cost the government only a
fraction of a cent each, consequently every
one taken by a collector represents just so
much clear profit to the department.
Two remarkable surgical operations have
been reported this .week. Ju Pittsburg a
fractured spine, operated on two years ago,
was pronounced restored and as good as

is now able to walk as well as be ever could.
In Philadelphia a woman, who bad been
operated on last October, was discharged
from an asylum as cured of lunacy. The

sn the brain. Twelve or fifteen years ago
either of these cases would probably have
lwen considered beyond medical skill. But
in these days of advanced medical science
enree that are almost miracles are fre
quently made.
Borne wicked democrats have spoiled a
good thing that some nice, good republicans
la I’enntyivama thought they had. Since
1856 a small army of cle ks, sergeants-at
arms, doorkeepers, messengers, etc., bare
drawn from $lO to SSO aacn for real or im
aginary—mostly imaginary—services to
the electoral college of the state. On Mon
day the same small army went through the
austomary mummery, iu.de out their bills
and were given checks. But they were not
paid. The <lur cretin auditor general said
the law did not eancllou any such lavish
expenditure of mooer. notwithstanding it
had been done for over thirty years, so bs
refused to countersign the (-necks. The dis
appointed Jack Horners with the valueless

Protection Against Cholera.
The fane that there was scarcely any op
position to the bill which passed the Senate
on Tuesday granting additional quarantine
po-vera and imposing additional duties
upon the Secretary of the Treasury and
marine hospital service is a strong indica
tion that this congree has no intention of
enaoting a national quarantine law, or a
law suspending immigration for one year or
any other parted. The bill having been
passed by the Senate so quickly and with so
little debate the presumption is that thore it
an understanding that the House will
pass it.
The bill confers considerable additional
powers upon the Secretary of the Treasury
and the marine hospital service, and, be
sides, it gives the President authority to
prohibit in whole or iu part, and for such a
period as he may deem advisable, the in
troduction of persons and property from
Gauntries la which contagious or infectious
diseases exist. To carry into effect the pro
visions of the bill $1,000,000 is appropriated.
Tbe country is satisfied probably with
that feature of the bill which gives tbe
President power to suspend immigration.
There is no doubt that he would promptly
close our ports to immigrants from any
country iu which cholera or other infoctious
or contagious disease should appear, but it
is doubtful if the other features of tbe bill
ore as satisfactory as a national quarantine
law would be.
If the bill should become a law it would
be difficult, if not impossible, to preveat
corifliote of authority between state and
federal officials if the occosi n for the exer
cise of the powers of the marine hospital
service should arise. The officials of the
states and of the United States are exceed
ingly tenacious in insisting upon their re
spective rights, and it is not always an easy
matter for these officials to determine ex
actly what their rights are.
In New York harbor la.*t summer, when
the cholera was present, there wae a notice
able lack of harmony between the quaran
tine officer of tbe state and the representa
tive of the marine hospital service. They
carried their differences into the newspapers,
and their dispute was far from edifying to
those who were wholly interested in having
tbe most effective means adopted for keep
ing cholera out of the country. It can be
safely assumed that the state and federal
health authorities cannot work together in
harmony. There is pretty sure to be a con
flict between them whenever the state
officials show a disposition to resist tbe
encroachments of tbe federal officials.
Under tbe bill passed by the Senate the
federal officials are granted enlarged powers,
and when the opportunity presents itself
thsy are likely to he more aggressive lhan
ever. It is not to be understood that they
have been or will tie offensively aggressive.
They will endeavor to carry out their pro
gramme tecs use of their belief that they
are right, and a conflict will result because
the itate officials will be equally sincere and
determined. While the officials ars trying
to settle tbeir differences tbe interests of the
country wiil suffer.
Eventually the oountry must hare a na
tional quarantine system—a system tbat
will be effective and have the same regula
tions at every port and the same rules for
all the interior states. Now each of the
forty-four states has a system of quarau
tine of its own, and it is different from that
of every other state. If cholora should ap
pear in the country noxt summer there
would be forty-four state boards of health
besides a number of municipal boards,
directing what should be done to keep tho
disease out of their respective states and
cities. Bedlam turned loose could nut cause
more confusion than there would be. Busi
ness would be brought to a standstill with
a jolt that would be absolutely startling.
There would boa eort of panic throughout
the country without, perhaps, a sufficient
reason.
, Only a national quarantine could prevent
such a deplorable condition of affairs, but
it looks as if an epidemic of cholera would
to necessary to convince cougross of the
need fur such a quarantine.
Death of Senator Kotina.
The announcement of the death of Senator
John E. Kenna, of West Virginia, conveyed
in our dispatches this morning, will he re
received throughout tbe country with many
expressions of regret. He was a mere boy
when bo enterod the confederate army. In
fact, he was only 17 years old when the war
ended. He was admitted to the tar when
he was 22 years old and before he was 80 he
was elected to congress and was a ses atop
at 85. It isn't often that a man reaches the
United States Senate at so early an age.
He was, however, well qualified for the
position. When a member of tbe House his
ability as a debater and parliamentarian
was recognized. He was one of the late
Samuel J. Randall’s lieutenants, in the let
ter’s parliamentary tattles, and was highly
thought of by that distinguished statesman.
Owiug to ill-health Senator Kenna was
not able to give close attention to his sens
torial duties during the lest few years cf
his life. Had he been spared a number of
years longer atid possessed good health he
would have made a name for him
self that would have lived in history. He
was an uncompromising democrat and as
true a friend as one could wish to have.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company had
denied the report that it had begun a war
on labor organizations, and explained the
recant discharges in one of its freight offi
ces, before Representative Miller, of Wis
consin, introduoed his resolution for an
investigation. The road said its agent,
who made the discharges referred to. had
acted on his own responsibility, without
orders, and that his action would be inves
tigated and proper steps in the premises
taken. That the members of labor unions
employed by the Pennsylvania company
have taken no action in the matter would
foeni to show that there was not much
foundation for the original story, for labor
unions are very sensitive. When there
is good ground for complaint it is safe to
say they will always be beard from.
Miller's resolutions, therefore, maybe set
down as an appeal to the prejudice of the
laboring classes not familiar with the olr
cu instances.
Whatever placo history may assign to
Cen. Ben F. Butler it will not be denied
that m many respects he was a very ie
tuarkabie man. Of his intellectual ability
there oan be no question. His death, will
he the .. oasiun for let-ailing some things in
bis career that refieot no credit upon bis
tnttnery, and some others that show be was
capa le of generous deeds.
Tbe Texas senatorial light appeared by

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, JANUARY 12. 1893,
la Livingston a Candidate*
A Washington special to tbe Baltimore
American has this interesting bit of polit
ical gossip: “Tbe alliance party of tbe
south is about to press its claims upon Mr.
I Cleveland for recognition in tho cabinet.
The self-announced candidate of this ele
ment u Representative Livingston, of Geor
gia. who claims to have founded the alli
ance party in tbe south, and who has in
curred tbe bitter opposition In tbe south of
tbe regular democratic organization. Mr.
Livingston wishes to be Secretary of Agri
culture, e place in the cabinet wblcb be
thinks would afford the best outlet for tbe
demands of the discontented white element
of the South Atlantic and Gulf states. The
regular southern democracy will deny Mr.
Livingston Us support.”
Mr. Livingston was elected to congress by
democrats upon a democratlo ticket. He
was an alllancemen, but took an active part
in an effort to keep the alliance out of the
I’eople’s party during tbe last election. He
bad two opponents for congress, one being
Mr. Taliaferro, who was nominated by tbe
People's (ailiancei party; but Taliaferro
withdrew from the race, and tbe antl-demo
cratio vote in the alliance was cast for Rev.
Mr. HmalL Livingston may have received
a considerable portion of the alliance vote,
but not as the ‘'alliance party’s" candidate.
These facte would seem to make it im
probable that Mr. Livingston is a ‘'Self-an
nounced” candidate for cabinet honors
on the strength of the assertion
tbat bis selection would tend to
bring about a better feeling between tbe
populists and the democrats. For it would
not. Livingston is about as cordially dis
liked by the populists of this stato as any
man in it. If, besides this, it were true
that be had “inourred the bitter opposition
of the regular domocratio organization," he
would be in a ‘ 'had way,” politically speak
ing, and it is difficult to see how his eleva
tion to the cabinet would bring about a
friendship between populists and democrats.
Furthermore the ‘ ‘alliance party,” which
is synonymous with the People’s party of
tbe south, has no ‘ ’claims” upon Mr. Cleve
land or bis administration to “press.” It
would bo sheer nonsense for anybody to say
it baa That party did everything in its
power to compass Cleveland's defeat and
arouse bad feeling between tbe residents ot
tbe cities and tbe country. To the Demo
cratic party alone is dus tbe credit fur
Cleveland’s election, and only democrats
should be given offices.
The Andrew Banking BUI.
The Andrew banking bill wblcb has been
favorably reported by the banking oom
mittee of the House. repeals that portiou of
the Sherman law which requires tbe treas
ury department to purchase a certain
amount of ellver per month. It, however,
leaves in foroe the section which guarantees
the intsgity of the notes issued under the
lew. It also authorizes tbe Secretary of
tbe Treasury to coin the bullion now in the
treasury, to far as necessary to provide for
the redemption of the notes, end to coin the
remainder “for the use of the treasury as
speedily as the demands upon the treasurer
may render possiblo the payment out of the
treasury of such standard dollars.” Tbe
national banks are authorized to increase
their circulation to the per value ot their
bond deposits, and the hauk tax is flxtd at
one-hai( of 1 per cent, per year.
Tho foregoing features are, of course,
only the leading ones. The bill was re
ported by so largo a majority of the com
mittee on banking—B voting for it and 3
against it—that it is thought if the speaker
opens the way for getting it before tho
House at uo early day it will past that body
during this cor.grots. There is a growing
feeling in congress that something must be
done speedily toward stopping the purchase
of silver by the government. In commercial
and financial circles tho belief is that the
country has about as much silver now as it
can carry safely. The silvontos will, of
oourse, do all they can to defeat any effort
to repeal the Sherman silver law unless
they have assurances of other
legislation equally favorable to their inter
ests. It is doubtful, however, if they are
strong enough to prevent the repeal of the
law, even if the repealing bill should not
be accompanied by concessions to the silver
sentiment satisfactory to them.
The Democratic party meant what it
said when it declared in its national plat
form that the Sherman act must be repealed,
and democratic congressmen will hardly
dare to take a petition in opposition to that
declaration.
The world’s fair catalogue will be almost
as big ae Porter's census publication. In
fact, it will he one of the biggest thr-ge
about the fair. It will consist of twelve
volumes, aggregating 3,500 pages. one part
for each exhibit department and each part
retailing at 10 cents per copy. Several mil
lion volumes will he printed. The publisher
who has scoured the privilege paid SIOO,OOO
lu cash for it, besides which the fair will
get a percentage on all sales. Another
great publication in connection with the fair
will be a directory, of which 500,000 copies
will be printed. And all of this printing
and binding will not be begun until after
April 1, although the fair opens in May.
More than 1,000 men wiil bo put to work on
the books in April, and it is estimated that
In a Tery short while they will be turning
out the completed volumes at about the
rate of 100,000 a day. What wonderful re

Senator Pettigrew, of South Dakota, has
his young son with him In Washington, end
the hoy’s adventures ore of such nature that
tbe dignified senator is almost always "on
pins.” A few daye ago the toy bad a nar
row escape from drowning, but the incident
did not dampen his spirits a hit. He read in
tbe newspapers about tbe placard on (be
white house door warning people that there
was scarlet fever within: then he went and
bad a look at the sign, ft pleased bis fancy,
and when be was told that it was to keep
visitors away he was delighted. He knew
bis pa needed something that would do that
very tbiug, so he made a copy of the fever
sign and bung it on the door of the Petti
grew residence. And there it hung for an
entire day before anybody belonging to tbe
house discovered it. Tbe effect on unde
sirable visitors was charming, but the after
claps that fell to young Pettigrew’s part
were not.
Senator Washburn did some profitless
speculating in futures a day or two ago. A
reporter asked him if bs thought the
national Republican party would have to be
reorganized and anew leading policy out-
Ilned. He replied: "The Republican party
la all right. We will come up smiling la
18'J6 and will sweep the country.”

The Umbria's Broken Shaft.
"The romanc *of the Umbria has been well
written, and it vas very enterta ninsr both to
5-eameu and landsmen—to landsmen for its
thrilling adventure, and to seamen for its ab
surdity," sai I Robert Lausmith. a retired sea
faring man to a Washington P>>st wr ier. "It
has brought etiekels to tne newspapers and
fame to the seamen. Asa friend I want to post
the fW in a matter that will give further en
tertainment to its realers, and now is a pro
pitious time to doit, t e Post find some
capable seaman to tell the facts in regard to
ships and the sea. It is twenty five years since
I left the sea. but I would not detract from the
admiration duo to the bravery of the seamen
when t he penis of his occupation confront him.
“Tne cold in the Umbria ca.%e would be
that tur shaft became broken during a storm at
**a; that there are 120 men employed in her en
gineer department; that sLe is a modern steam
snip that cost millions of money. She is sup
plied with iron, forges and tools for repairing
auy break or damage to her machinery, and It
ought to be a simple matter for her trained me
chanics to mend her shaft or repairany damage
to her machiuery os it is for any sailor to splice
the mainbrace.
"A stanch vessel on tbe open sea 50) miles
from land in the worst of gai* s is iu no immi
nent danger. The dnnger to a ship is the shore.
The dauger is less when lying-to with a disabled
shaft, and the comfort of tho passengers is
greater than when running. Fifty years aco a
sailor sailing a 300-ton bark in a gale at sea, if
he was far enough awav from land, would sim
ply take in his sails and spars, lash his helm,
batten hie hatches, go oelow and sleep until toe
storm was over."
Re Kes a Taking Way.
Have you ever met one of those "genlals" who
are so careless as to always take the change
that belongs to you asks the New York Herald.
There are several of them in Now York. You
can find one any day along Broadway. An
Englishman who came over recently ran afoul
of one last very much to bio sorrow. It
so happens that tins Englishman is of very
good lamily. Though his people are quite
wealthy and he has a ways been used to the
luxuries of life and tbe niceties f refined so
ciety. lie struck a streak of hard luck. He had
got down to his last bill, which was as2 scrip.
At mis stage f the affair he met tne "genial,"
who Is supposed to be fairly prosperous, and
whom the Englishman had met before in
London.
Kugardl*sß of his limited finances the English
man, through force of habit, promptly invited
the ‘ genial ’ into the Fifth Avenue lictel to
have a drink. The “genial" accepted conde
scendingly.
They drank. The Englishman threw down
the S?2-bill, the change was brought, the
"genial.’ in the most abieut -minded way im
aginable, gAthered it up and put it in his Docket.
Tii n they walked.
Of course the Englishman thought it a mis
take aud was too well bred to mention it. As
he i a t not another cent to his name he had to
walk home- and he was ;iving in Sixty bixth
street.
Tne next day some money arrived and he
told the story in a downtown cafe.
"Mistake!" exclaimted one of the party.
"Nonsense! Ikn-wa dozen men he has done
that to. It is the biggest source of income he
ha* got."
There are queer ways of getting a living in
New \ork.
He Changed His Politics.
They are telling a good one upon the political
Hialtoin connection with the talk about CoL
William P. Morrison gettingAcabiuet portfolio.
Col. Morrison, as everybody out west knows,
was a strong Douglas man in 1860. He stumped
tho state for Douglas and advised the girls of
Illinois to use every effort in their power to
mako their sweethearts vote for him. Among
his listeners was a young lady who was engaged
to be married. Her intended was a violent par
tisan of Lincoln. They were married the day
after t’ol. Morrison had made his speech to the
girls of the stato, and went to Chicago on their
honeymoon. After retiring to their room the
young husband had oocasion to go downstairs
for something. He returned about 1! o'clock
to find the door locked. He rapped loudly.
“Who's there?” asked a voice from within
which he recognized as that. f bis wife.
“It’s me. your husband, dear,” replied the
groom.
“What’s your politics?”
"I’m a Lincoln man. and don't yoa forget it."
“Well,” she said determinedly,' -ho Lincoln
man can come in here."
Tha groom swore softly to Hruself, but he
was too strong a partisan to take water. He
weut downstairs aud smoked auout an hour
and then returning a. an knocked loudly on the
door.
“ Aho's there'-” aske i the wife.
“I’m your husband. Henry ———; open the
door and be quick about it.”
“I tell you," came back defiantly, “no Lincoln
man can get into this room to-night, and that’s
all there is to it.”
Henry retired in disgust, and spent the niht
in the barroom. He returned at 10 o'clock the
next morning and knocked \ery softly on the
door.
“Who's there?” was asked.
In low and subdued tones the reply was given
‘ Henry, your husband, and about as good a
Douglas man as there is iu tho Mate of Illinois "
He was admitted.

A Chicago drugsrist said to a newspaper man
the ether day that if he could only get a chance
at the soda water privileges at the world's fair
he would consider that fits fortune was made
for life. He eaid that there was money In soda
water any way that would amaze the uniniti
ated; that it was not an unoommon thi-:g for a
SIO.OiX) soda water plant *o pay for itself in five
months. The fair privileges, he said, had been
secured by a local syndicate, which, he thinks,
is working with the trust of soda water fountain
manufacturers. There will be big money iu it

When in the east recently, says a writer In
the Gl';be-Ve’nocrat. I w as amused to see one of
the latest electrical devices, which ia evidently
destined to drive out of the tailoring trade one
of its most characteristic features This is an
electric cutter, u-sed for cutting out garments,
aud it compares very favorably with the old
very long shears which we have all got to look
upon as indispensable to the practical end of
ta luring trade. The new shears are really a
series of sharp knives operated by the now al
most übiquitous motor, and so regularly that
they can be guided to an oety. The cutter c*n
follow his mysterious marks to the sixteenth of
an inch, do his work much better than now, and
what, of course, ia of more strictly commercial
value, in about one third the time. In very
busy times tbe work of the cutter is quit#
laborious, and the change would be welcomed
by him with open arms but for the usual argu
ment against labor-saving devices. It will en
able one man to do the work of two or three,
and hence dispense with the need of tne service,
of some of the experts now engaged with the
old and lengthy shears.
The superintendent of an orphanage at fle
cundra, India, writes to a St. Lulls paper an ac
count of a boy-wolf who is now under his care.
Some time ago the boy was discovered by some
hunters in the country near tnat pJace. who
saw him sunning himself upon a rock. Heap
peared to be a child about 6 years old, naked,
hairy and dirty. When they approached him
he scampered off on all fours in company w tb
a wolf, which they had not seen, and took
refuge in a cave. The hunters built a fire be
fore the cave to smoke its occupant* out, and
presently the wolf ran cut, and after it the boy.
whom they captured. but oniy after a severe
struggle, in whioa one of the men
was badly bitten by the ferocious child. For a
long while nothing could be done with him. He
resented his captivity, would wear no clothes,
ate nothing but raw moat, which be gnawed
on the ground like a wolf, lay sleeping all day,
and moved about restlessly iu the night.
Under the care of the orphanage he has be
come more tractable in the lapse of time. He
will now endure clothing and eat cooked food,
but will not undertake to talk, though he ap
pears to understand what is said to him, and
manifests considerable intelligence It is sup
pos'd he was stolen awav from bis p trents
while a baby by a wo f. which, perhaos, had
lost her young and adopted the child.
Count Povolehi of the British Zoological So
ciety has put 1 shed a letter calling attention to
th > threatened extermination of the Afr.cau
elephant. He says that the elephant is quite as
capable of being tamed as theoiepbart or 1; and a.
aud as a beast of burdm is quite as va’.uabh ;
more so on account of his greater size ami
strength, yet the natives make no attdtopt to
capture and tame them, but slaughter them for
their tusks alone, and tnat to the number of at
least 75,000 every year. Since an elephant's
tusks, which are solid, can be cut off with a
sharp saw without causing pain to the animal,
and an elephant once captured by the methods
employed in the government khe
dahs in India can be easily se
cured for this process, it seems io m- that the
ivory traders would gain time, save labor, snd
avoi i the criminal folly of exleruii atlng their
source of revenue, if they could be induced to
resort to this more humane method of obtaining
ivory instead of to the unnecessary and brutal
butchery of vast herds of valuable, inoffensive
and tractable animals, which takes place year
after year. When it is remembered that rei ro.
duction in the African elephant does not com
mence until the animal is over -JO years old. and
that the period of st< station is tliree years, and.
further, that the female elephant produces but
one calf at a time, it will at once be seen that
we are well within m aaurable distance of the
date of the annihilation of the ‘ivory king’’ of
the Dark Coutinent,
