The state of Washington is young, but
•he is not modest. Whatever she wants is
promptly asked for. A petition from Wash
ington to the United Htates Senate asking
for tbe annexation of Hawaii, the building
of the Nicaragua canal and the election of
senators by popular vote has been presented.
When these things have been attended to,
Washington will tell Uncle Bam what else
she wants.
The first step toward seouring harmonious
action between munioipal, state and federal
quarantine authorities having boon success
fully taken in Washington, it is to be hoped
that the three sources of authority will use
all of their energy in fighting off disease,
and cot waste strength in fighting each
other. At present there seems to be no
reason to apprehend a conflict, but it will
be remembered that there was a clash in
New York last summer at a very inoppor
tune time.
Tbe Quarantine Conference.
Notwithstanding tbe fact that cholera
has almost disappeared from Europe there
is a feeling of apprehension that the disease
will appear there again during the coining
summer, and that it will require extraor
dinary precautions to keep it out of this
country. Our ports that were practically
closed to immigrants last summer have
been opened to them within the last few
days, and very soon thousands of them will
be coming from Hamburg and other places
in which cholera recently prevailed.
The conference of quarantine physicians
that was held in Washington last
week was a very important one,
though it does not appear to have
attracted a great deal of attention.
The officers of the marine hospital service
seem to be confident that the disease can be
kept out of this country. The surgeon gen
eral of the servioe said it wouid be kept out,
and it is to be hoped that he does not speak
more confidently than he feels. Ha is recog
nized as a capable officer, though whether
be is a man fora great emergency remains
to be seen.
There was the best of feeling manifested
at the conference betweon the officers of the
marine hospital service and state quaran
tine officers. It seemed to be the wish of
all that there should be no friction or dis
agreement* between the federal and state
authorities, but that all should work to
gether for the common good.
Last summer there was a laok of harmony
between L)r. Jenkins, tbe quarantine officer
at New York, and the marine hospital
service, but whatever ill-feeling there was
then appears to have dlsappeaied. Dr.
Jenkins was at the conference and seemed
entirely willing to co-operate with Burgeon
General Wyman in whatever course it
might seem best to adopt for the protection
of theoountry, not ouiy against cholera,
but other infectious and contagious dis
eases.
The new quarantine law is made more
explicit as to the daties of the marine hos
pital service when prompt and decisive
action is demanded than the old law was.
In the event of a disagreement be
tween the federal and local authori
ties, the new law gives tbe federal
government absolute authority. This is a
wise provision, because without It a con
dition of affaira might arise that would
leave the oountrv praotically without any
quarantine protection.
There is no reason why there should be
any uneasiness in this country on account
of the cholera. There may not be an out
break of the disease in Europe next sum
mer, but if there should be we are better
prepared at our ports to keep it out thau
we were last summer. It would be the
part of wisdom, however, for all the cities
of the country, those ou the ooast as well as
those Id the interior, to pay a great deal of
attention to sanitary matters.
Will Col. Grant Be Disturbed?
It has been stated in the public prints that
Col. Fred. D. Grant, our minister to Aus
tria, will be permitted to retain bis positiou
through the administration of Mr. Cleve
land. There does not appear to be auy au
thority for this statement beyond the fact
that Secretary of Btate Gresham was a
friend and admirer of Gen. Grant, the
father of Col. Grant.
It is known that tbe friends of Col. Grant
are exerting themselves in his behalf. He
wants to remain at Vienna. He seems to
enjoy a fair share of popularity there, and
as he finds the situation a pleasant one it is
but natural that be should not want to give
it up.
As far as the public knows, however, Mr.
Cleveland does not intend te avail himself
of Col. < Irani’* services. The Washington
correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, who
seems to know pretty well the intentions of
the administration, says the best informa
tion Is that the treatment of Col. Grant
will uot be different from that of other in
cumbents of big foreign missions, and that
if be fails to tender bit resignation it will
be requested, and the name of his successor
will be sent to the Senate. There are sev
eral applicants for tbe Auetriau mission,
the most prominent of whom ie Mr. Basil
B. Gordon, of Virginia.
There is no good reason why Cos!. Grant
should be permitted to remain at Vienna.
He has no spsolal fitness for diplomacy, and
does not serve hie country there better than
any one of thousands of democrats who
could be named. Mr. Cleveland has not eo
many great places in his gift that he can
afford to give one of the best of them to a
republioan. The Austrian mission should
be glveu to a democrat.
The Tlllmanlte School of Politics.
Clemson College, notice of the opening of
which on July 1 next was published in the
Morning News dispatches, is the agricult
ural oollege of the state of South Carolina.
It is situated at Fort Hill, the old homestead
of John U. Calhoun, and the nuoleus of the
fund for Its erection was devised
to the state by the will of
Thomas G. Clemson, Mr. Calhoun’s
son-in-law. The oollege has been a bone of
political contention m tbe state for years.
The demand for an agricultural college—a
school for poor men’s sons—was the fore
runner of what became tbe "Tillmanite’’
school of politics, and upon that demand
Capt. B. R. Tillman worked his way into
notoriety, and finally into the gubernatorial
chair. At the beginning of tbe agitation
for an agricultural college CapL Tillman
declared that bis highest ambition was to
tee such an institution established and
possibly be a member of the board of di
rectors. But soou his ambition soared
higher. And It appears from tbe dispatch
referred to that Clemson Collage’s ambition
also is doing some soaring. Tbe poor men’s
sous who attend Clemson to learn about
farmlug, stock raising and the manufacture
of fertilisers at home must be provided by
their parents or guardians with uniforms at
a cost of $23 75 each, notwithstanding the
fact that the sight of the uniform of a state
military academy boy four years ago was
to Gov. Tillman what a red flag is to a bull.
"The military dude factory” is what he
railed the military adjunot to the state uni
versity. It would be interesting to know
if he regards Clemson College as an agri
cultural dude factory.
That horrible story from St. Louis about
eight bodies packed In barrels being found
in the freight depot was a “three black
orows” story, with a skeleton belonging to a
doctor at the bottom of it. Tbe box in
which th" skeleton was packed for ship
ment was broken open during handling and
some of tho bones rolled out. A telephone
message was sent to an afternoon paper just
as it was going to press, saying that eight
bodies had been found in barrels, and the
yarn was printed without investigation and
afterward telegraphed by special corre
spondents. An anti-fake association among
newspaper publishers and press ageuoies
seems to be badly needed.
THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. MARCH 19, 18S3---SIXTEEN PAGES.
Why They Corcpla’r.
A goal many congressmen and about all
the place hunters are nispt serf to criticise
tbe administration for not making appoint
ments faster. Very few appointment* have
been mo.ts yet. and there are no signs that
auy considerable niim’ er has been decided
upon. Tbe dissatisfied ones ear the gov
ernment Is running along w;th tbe same old
crowd fn tbe offices just as it a democratic
administration had not succeeded a repub
lican one.
Those who give the matter a little thought,
however, see tbe President has had no time
to oonsider the applications of those who
have asked for offices. His whole time has
been taken up with visitors, most of
whom have aßked for places for them
selves or their friends. Tbe num
ber of oifice-seekers has been
so great that the President bos not been
able to do anything more in the matter of
the patronage than to order the papers of
the applicants to he filed and to announce
that he would give them attention at his
earliest convenience.
It is clear that the President does not con
sider the distributing of the offices the most
important of his duties, and it is also elear
that be does nut intend to make appoint
ments hastily. His purpose is to appoint
only those be has reason to thiDk will reflect
credit upon tbe administration. Should he
make appointments so rapidly that he would
have no chance to beoome acquainted with
the merits of the applicants, the probabil
ltiee are that a good many unfit men would
get into places of trust and re
sponsibility. It would be a del
icate and rather difficult matter
to get rid of suob men, and in trying to do
so be would make bitter enemies for bis
administration. He is pursuing tbe wiser
course in makiog himself acquainted with
the qualifications of applicants for a plaoe
Dc-fore committing himself to any one of
them. Congressmen and place hunters may
complain, but they will not succeed in get
ting Mr. Cleveland and his secretaries to
pursue a polioy different from the one they
have adopted.
Help to Build tho Monument.
Tbe whole south should be profoundly
Interested in the confederate soldiers’ and
sailors’ monument that is being erected in
Richmond, Va. It will be a magnificent
work when it is completed, and will fittingly
commemorate tbe high purposes and heroic
deeds of those who sacrificed so much for
the cause they loved.
The monument was t egun aboat three
years ago and Is not yet nearly oompleted.
Money is needed for it, and patriotic women
in all parts of tbe south are aiding it in
every way they can. Here in BavaDnah they
are working earnestly for It, and they
should be given every possible encourage
ment Nearly every one can give some
thing, and every gift, however small, is
gratefully reoeived.
The shaft of the monument is oompleted,
and is ready for the colossal bronze figure
that Is to lie placed upon its summit. It is
a reproduction of Fompey’s pillar, near
Alexandria, Egypt, and, considering its
size, it will be one of the handsomest monu
ments in America. Tbe Corinthian capital
which surmounts the column is the largest
iu this country.
The site of the monument Is a superb one.
It is in Marshall park, on Libby hill, a
locality well known to all who have visited
Richmond. It is the gift of that city, and
the gift was supplemented by an appro
priation of $5,000. Tbe state of Virginia
provided tbe money for the top stons of tbe
column, tbe amount being $3,300.
About $25,000 hat been expended thus far
on tbe monument, and fully $15,000 more
it required. There ought to be no difficulty
in collectiafc that sum, especially as the
whole south Is Interested in the monument.
A small contribution from each state would
be sufficient to meet all tbe demands for the
work.
And each southern state is interested in
it. The monument is placed lu Richmond
because that city was the capital of tbe con
federate statr s, but It will belong to the
south. It will tell to coming generations
the story of the heroism and sacrifices of
tbe men who laid down their Uvea in be
half of tbe southern confederacy.
Richard Croker, the Tammany chief. It
the subject of a good deal of gossip in New
York at present. His recent purchase of
one-half of the stock on the celebrated Belle
Mead farm. In Tennessee, for $250,000, has
caused people to ask where he gets the
money to make such extensive purchases.
Only recently he bought a $100,003 house
and acquired a great deal of other property.
Nobody thought him wealthy before the
Belle Mead purchase. He holds no office
and receives no salary for managing Tam
many’s affairs. His friends are beginning
to think that he is a shrewd business man,
nud was making money when they thought
he was doing nothing but bossing Tam
many. It has not been maoy years sinoe be
was a brakeman on the New York Central
railroad.
That Montana silver statue of “Justice”
that we have beard so much about is a
fraud. There Is going to be no statue at
all, but only a bust. Instead of seeing tbe
whole of Ada Reban’s exquisite figure re
produced in tbe obaste 1 aauty of burnished
sliver, visitors to the fair will be enabled to
study, in silver, only the oontour of her face
and tbs graoe of her neck and shoulders.
For the balance they will he referred to tbs
batter “Justice" in the dairy department
In oonneclion with this latest phase of the
"Justioe” matter it would be interesting to
know what rebate on tbe $5,000, which Miss
Rehan is alleged to have paid for the priv
ilege of posing, will be allowed her. What
percentage of a statue is the bust?
It is rumored that ex-Congratsman George
D. Tillman will be a oaadidate for governor
of South Carolina in the next state elsotlon.
He is the brother of Gov. Tillman, and, it
will be remembered, was defeated for re
nomination by a "Tillmanite”—that is a
Ben Tillmanite—candidate. It it said that
tbe ex-congressman takes vsry little stook
in bis brother’s "reform” movement, and
bolds political views in accord with those
of tbs national democracy. Hs is an able
and popular man, and if bs should, Indeed,
become a candidate for governor against bis
brother, or his brother’s nominee, tbe fight
that would follow would be exceptionally
hot and close.
In tbe Chloago convention of 1880 there
were 300 delegates, led by Roscoe Conkling
who stood up and voted for Grant upon
every ballot until Garfield was nominate!.
These delegates have been oolleotively
known sinoe among republicans as “Tbe
300.” There are not near that many of them
living now; but there are at least 230 of
them alive, and these 230 have signified
their Intention of being present at an anni
versary dinner to be given in Philadelphia
in tbe near future.

ion were found too radical for compromise, and
the annexation treaty is to be formally dis
solved. The moral of which is that a bright
American woman needs no British brains to
make her light shins brighter, and bad better
leave the said brains severely alone.

Some of this Col. Quincy’s negro soldiers cut
the buttons from the soldier clothes which the

present Assistant Secretary of State is that
Quincy, the aforesaid butlonless editor does not

Great Falls. From that point the road begins
ita eastern ascent of the range whose tope are
whitened with the snow ail the year round A
w ide plain spreads out between the line of tbe
rood and tne range. As the train was get
ting “a fresh hold oo the rails," as one of the
party expressed it, the conductor stood on the
rear platform of the coach and looked stead
fastly at one spot until it was lost.
"Got a claim anywhere around there?" asked
a traveler who had noticed the conductor's
longing look.
"A Kinder of a claim,’' he replied, "but not
tbe kind you’re thlnkm' of.”
How he came to tell us makes no difference
now. Here is what he told:
“ 'Bout a year ago. I think It was, a young
man was put on my train by the conductor who
had brought him to where I take it. He had
been east. His folks live down there, I be
lieve. He bad been west a good many years,
was a cowboy, then a deputy marshal, then a
boss of a ranch, and then he got to specu'at n’
in Anaconda. He had lived the sort of life out
he:etbataman was expected to live iu them
days. He was a hard citizen, and then a good
one. Blest if 1 know just wbeie he quit off, but
he did. He finally got to lovin’ a girl, and just
when he was havin'it tbe wurst way. she ups
and marries a good-for-nothin' dude that came
out h re and got to clerkin' in a rag house.
Then the young man that I am talkin' about he
goes east to wear out his feelin's, I reckon. Aud
he was g. ne all summer Tuey said he was at
the sea-ide. I thought when I heard that as how
he would not last long. When a man quits this
climate to go to the seaside there must be some
thing mighty bad about his cane If a man can’t
git cured here he needn’t go anywhere else
"'Veil, wt.en he was put in my care there
was four or five of the boys with him. They
had fieerd he was cornin' back, and they met
idm away down this side of St. Paul. And they
r.ursed him all the way. and fed him jest as if
he had been a sick girl. He was lookin' out of
the winder of the car all the time, day and
night, but wasn't say la' nothin'. When we
got to Great Falls he looked out of the car
winder and smiled, it was the first time that
the boys had see him do that s,nce they met
him, and they thought he was gettin' well. He
asked ’em to set him up in his berth so he could
see. And .he looked at tbe mountain tops out
there, covered witu tne whiteness of God. aud
the foot o'the mountains that is washed by
the purest water this side of the divine. The
trail was just getting a good holt on the rails
when the poor fellow sank back, aad the next
thing I see the boys wai takin' tbe
piller out from under his head. Then I
knowed it was ad over. Then one of
the boys come to me and asked me if
1 would take $:,000 to stop the train. I told ’em I
couldn't do anything of that sort. They said
money was no object. Then I asked 'em what
was up,_ and one of 'em told me that he,
meanin' the dead man, had made e last request
that he be taken from the train and buried in
sight of the mountain that had the snow on it,
the one that caught his eyes first after we bad
come over the river. They said they had prom
ised him they would. I asked Vm where they
would get a box. and they said a man as good
as he was didn't need no box; that the angels
would take care of him as soon as he was laid
away. I asked 'em wbat they would do if the
train wasn’t stopped. They held a short parley
and said in a most respectful way, which
I understood, that they had to carry out
the wishes of the deceased at all hazards;
that, they could stop the train if I
didn't, i understood 'em. I pulled the cord
and went for’ard, and while the engineer was
mendin’the locomotive, which got out of sorts
jest then, the funeral procession moved out, and
the dead was buried out there in full sight. It
so happened that we got the locomotive fixed
just as the funeral was over and we took the
pall-bearers into Butte that nignt.
"And I never pass that spot that I don’t look
out there where they laid him. I ain’t never
seen any of the pall-bearers since, and I don’t
know the name of the young man that they
burled. Do you know gents, that his grave is
green all the year round? I once thought of
puttin’ up a gravestone at the head, but, thinks
I. it’s none of my business, and, besides, the
boys said the angels was goin’ to take core of
his body, so I thought I wouldn’t be intrudin’
on any angel’s business. It was the only time,
though, that my locomotive ever got anything
the matter with it.”
A Cheerless Christmas.
“I think Christmas, 1888, was my most mem
orable one." said Gen. Greely, the famous
Arctic explorer, to a reporter for the Buffalo
Express. "With my command I was proceed
ing southward In the hope of obtaining help,
and about Oct. 20 we ensconsod ourselves in a
little hut at Cape Sabine. Our supply of food
was running very low, an 1 we were on very
short rations, every one being allowed just
enough food in each twenty-four hours to sus
tain life. Under these depressing circum
stances and amid the awful silence of the polar
night the cheerfulness that we contrived to
maintain was remarkable. As the Christmas
season approached we all looked forward to it
with eager anticipation, not only as a festal
day whose associations and memories would to
some extent vary the wearisome monotony of
our lives, but because we knew that tbe winter
solstice would fall about Dec. 28, aud that then
the sun would return and the long, dreary night
bo at an end.
"Christmas day came at last. Christmas in
the Arctic regions! At 6 o’clock wo had our
breakfast—thin soup made of peas carrots
blubber and potatoes. Our ( hrist mas dinner
was served at 1 o'clock. Harken to our menu.
First course, a stew of seal meat, onions, blub
ber, potatoes and bread crumbs. Second course
served one hour after the first, a stew of raisins’
blubber and milk. Dessert, a cup of hot choco
late. The best and most Christmasliks feature
of this meal was that we were allowed a suffi
cient quantity of it to satisfy tho pangs of hun
ger.
"Our enjoyment of the dessert—one cup of
chocolate—we tried to prolong as much as pos
sible. Over it we told each other Christmas
stories; we exchanged reminiscences of bygone
Chr.stmascs at home with the loved ones so far
away. We discussed the probability of our ever
reaching our own firesides sgaln, and we en
tered into an agreement that if we got back to
civilization before another Christmas we would
pass the day together in memory of that awful
Christmas wo were then spending iu the realm
of the relentless ice king. Alai, many of those
brave fellows never lived to see another Christ
mas.
"Then we had some singing There were
some good singers among us, and of different
nationalities, too, so we had songs in English,
French, Dai ish and German. And then we re
ceived the only Christmas present that was
vouchsafed to us that year. One of our party
—Klslingbury by name—had some tobacco still
left, and knowing that most of the men were
destitute of it he very kindly made a cigarette
for each of our little party. I will wager that
in all Christendom that day not a present was
given or received that gsvesuen intense delight
to the recipient as did those little rolls of to
bacco aud paper. They were quickly aflame
and being puffed away at for dear life, and
thus my most memorable Cbristmes—a Christ
mas near the North Pole—ended in smoke."
Perhaps.
TO A FORMER SWEETHEART.
From the New York Globe.
After your mother’s last “good night,”
And her last kiss upon the stair.
And when beneath the flickering light
You bow your giddy head in prayer;
When all is silent In tbe town.
And every thought of care has fled.
When you let your tresses down.
And peer in fright beneath your bed;
When teeming brains have ceased to whirl.
And e’en maternal eyes are winking,
I wonder, Fan. my dt rling girl.
I wonder what on earth you’re thinking!
Who knows? Perhaps of wond'rous bonnets
Just suitel to your saucy head;
Of novels, cookery books and sonnets.
Of torments and your hrotherTed;
Perhaps of the mountains over there.
Whose rugged brows are strangely steepled
And perhaps of "castles in the air,"
With lovers and with bonbons peopled;
Perhaps of the thrilling real romance
That Annie whispered over tea,
Perhaps of your last new song or dance,
Of nothing perhaps—perhaus of me.

FLAVORING EXTRACTS.
Until To-Day
It is admitted that more of
the flavoring principle of the
fruit is contained in Dr.
Price’s Delicious Flavoring
Extracts than any other ex
tracts with whKh they have
been compared. Being so
entirely free from the bitter
and rank products of adulter
ation they have become the
most agreeable, valuable and
economical flavors known;
steadily grown in popularity
until to-day they are used by
every intelligent housewife
for truthfully reproducing the
flavor of the fruit in creams,
cakes, puddings, etc.

Accordinq to an old legend, tbe baby's dim
ples mark the spot whers angel's lingers
touched the ohlld in bearing it from heaven to
earth, but unromantic doctors have a different
explanation. They say that dimples probably
result from defective development of a muscle.
When the muscle is called into use tbe defective
portion falls to respond, and a hollow is left,
into whioh the dash and skin of tbe cheek, for
example, fall, and thus the dimple is formed.
It is a lucky thing for the natives of Southern
Patagonia that tbe navigation of tbe strait of
Magellan is dangerous. Vessels often anchor
in the strait for the night on this account, and
this gives the orooked legged natives a chance
to come out in their canoei and|trade with the
ship’s company. The ohief articles offered by
the natives are furs of various kinds, especially
of the sea otter. These they sell for a trifle, or
more often barter for a few things they need.
The best otter skins are worth as much as S6OO
to S7OO when brought to civilized markets, but
Patagonians offer only poor skins.
In Thuringia, says the Hospital, there is a
whole district which is dependent for its sup
port on the manufacture of artificial eves, hus
bands, wives and children all working together
at this means of livelihood. And yet, though
these simple German village people turn out
their produce by the and zen, no two eyes are
ever the same. No artificial eye has its exaot
fellow either in color or in size in the whole
world. The method of the manufacture is not
a very complicated art They are firstly glass
plates, which are blown by gas jets,
then molded by hand iuto the form of
an oval-sbaped cup. The coloring of
the eyes is effected by means of
tracing with fins needles, the tints b -ing left to
the taste of the individual worker, though the
scope of their taste is necessarily limited to
grays and blues and browns and blacks, which
colors are assorted together before being
eventually despatched to their various destina
tions.
In answer to the question: "Why does a
drunken man stagger In his gait and see
double?" Dr. J. W. Crosswhite said to a Kan
sas City Times writer: ‘ Double vision is due
to a want ot harmony in tha muscles which con
trol ths movements of the eyeball. This is
owing to a change effected in the nerves or
nerve centers by the alcoholic poison. I flam
mation of the nerves and also a loss of energy
in tbe centers of tbe brain are produced by
overdoses of alcohol, and to this dis
turbance in the center la due ths double
vision, as also ths staggering gait produced by
tbe loss of harmony in the musc.es of the limbs.
Should the muscle of eaeh eyeball not act ex
actly as one then a different part of tbe visual
field is exposed to the two retina. Each retina,
acting independently, sees the object, and tbe
impressions conveyed to ths brain are therefore
double instead of single. Were the muscles
acting exactly similarly tbe object would be
seen by tbe same part of each retina and the
Impressions therefore conveyed to tbe brain
would be siugle. ordinary vision resulting.”
