Boston is experiencing a remarkable run
of ill luck, if there is any such thing as

great fire, in which millions of dollars worth
of property and several lives were destroyed,

doming as it did upon the announcement of
Mr. Croker’s *260,000 purchase of a half in

Hew York goesips all agog inquiring where
Mr Croker got so mnob money. One bright
erltio suggests that he has solved tbe prob
lem wbiob has heretofore defied alchemy,
the making of gold out of grosser substances;
“garbage and street sweepings for instance.”
Tbe secret of it, probably, is that Mr.
Croker is only one of a rich syndicate of men
who have gone into the raoing business on
a very large scale.
“ ’Squire Abingdon” Baird, the backer of

Some Treasury Figures.
The Washington correspondent of the
New York World presents a vi;wof the
condition of the federal treasury entirely
different from that presented by Mr. Foster
just before his retirement from the treasury
department. According to the figures of
Air. Foster the treasury had on hand a com
fortable balance when he surrendered it to
Secretary Carlisle. The figures of the
World's correspondent, ho we'er, show that
there was a delioienoy of over $1w,000,000.
There was a suspicion during the latter
davs of the Harrison administration that
the statements that were made by Mr.
Foster did not show the facts in regard to
the treasury—that figures were made to
conoeal the truth rather than to reveal it.
When the Harrison administration took
charge of the treasury there was a surplus
of nearly £50,000,000, and the raveoues were
greater than the expenses of the govern
ment. The republicans at once began to
plan how to get rid of the surplus in the
treasury and the surplus of the revenue,
and they planned with extraordinary suo
cess. They inaugurated an era of ex
travagance that very goon began to make
inroads upon the surplus, notwithstanding
the fact that the revenues steadily in
creased. They passed pension tills that
called for many millions of dollars annu
ally, and they added- greatly to the
cost of running the government. They
seemed to think that by extravagant ap
propriations they could make their party
popular The warnings that were uttered
to the r i that the treasury was In dan
ger of I v bankrupted was not heeded.
They a . areutly thought that if the re
venues failed to meet the government’s ex
penditures it would be an easy matter to
float bonds, as the credit cf the govern
ment was so good that bonds bearing a
low rate of interest could be sold readily at
a premium. And if the republicans had
retained control of the government it would
have been necessary, In all probability, to
issue bonds. Indeed, it may yet become
necessary to issue them to meet the demands
created by republican extravagance.
The criticism that the Fifty-second con
gress, one branch of which was democratic,
was as extravagant as the Fifty-first, which
was republican in both t ranches, is unjust.
The democratic House of the Fifty-second
congress made extraordinary efforts to re
duoe the total of the appropriations below
that of the appropriations of the Fifty-first,
but it was unable to do so because of the
laws in force calling for appropriations.
Those laws oouid not bo repealed, for the
reason that a republican Senate would not
consent to their repeal.
The democrats will have control of both
branches of tbo Fifty-third congress, and
there will be come laws repealed and others
enacied, it is safe too say, that will make it
possible to make a very material reduction
in the total of the appropriations. Ail the
indications are that this administration is
going to beau economical one. The Secre
tary of Agriculture has already set au ex
ample of economy by reducing the cost of
running his department sl2-5,000 per an.
num.
What Is Needed at Quarantine.
There is no ground for a reasonable doubt
now that Capt. Carter’s plans for deepen
ing Savannah harbor will be productive of
ail the results that were promised for them.
Any one going down the river who takes
the trouble to observe, will sea that an im
mense amount of work has been done and
that a great deal is being done. And it Is
very effective work. Savannah has much
deeper water in her harbor now than ever
before, and by tbe time the harbor im
provement is completed she will have a
channel twenty-Rix feet deep, and perhaps
deeper, ail the way from her wharves to
the sea.
That deeper water will be of immense ad
vantage to Savannah and the immense
territory tributary to her there is no
doubt. Already there are preparations
being made to utilize deeper water. Savan
nah is certain to become tbe seaboard outlet
for much of tbe grain of tbe west, and the
importing port tor a great variety of arti
cles for tbe south and west that ara now im
ported through New York.
But there are some things the city must
provide at quarantine. Toe quarantine sta
tion must he greatly improved, and better
facilities for handling tbe sick and tbe bal
last of vessels arranged for. If a ship should
arrive there with persons on board ill with
fever or obolera there is no place at wblcb
they could be taken ond cared for. And
about the arrangements for handling bal
last, are they what they should be? Two
aocidenls have occurred there within a very
short time to vessels out of which all ballast
bad been taken, and nothing put into them
to enable them to maintain their equilib
rium. If Bavannah is to get tbe full ben
efit of deeper water such accidents must be
provided against.
Thore is a number of improvements that
must be made at quarantine, and the sooner
that faot is understood and acted upon the
better it will be for tbe city’s interests.
Now, while the work of Improving tbe
harbor Is going on, the quarantine station
should be improved so as to be ready for
the oondltlon of affairs that will be brought
about by deeper water.
Inventors are devoting their energies,
indeed they have been for several years,
toward the perfection of some oontrivanoe
to supplant the dangerous trolley system of
street car propulsion. In New York a few
days ago an ammonia motor car was suc
cessfully tested, and a Brooklyn inventor
claims to have perfected a system of pro
pulsion by an underground electric wire
wbiob, in tbe matter of speed, "oau beat
the trolley unmercifully.” Bo the obauoes
are that by tbe time tbe Savannah city
counoil can make arrangements to enforce
the burying of all eleotrio wires, some
practical method of operating street cars
without overhead wires will have been per
fected. It bas never been believed by
electrical experts that the trolley is the end
of attainment in local rapid transit; but up
to the present time It is the best practical
system in sight.
Mrs. Lease, of Kansas, bas appeared in a
new role—that of peacemaker. Last fall
she was one of the most ardent fomenters
of strife in a dozen states. Last w eek sbe
organized a woman's peace association at
Topeka, with 1,000 members. The object
of tbe association is to frown down the
formation of any organization whose pur
pose is bloodshed. The recent organization
of populist military companies in Kansas
suggested to Mrs. Lease this new way of
getting herself talked about.
The correspondents and other policy mak
ers for the administration will probably
Isarn after awbile that Mr. Cleveland’s only
iron-clad rule governing appointments Is
that the applicant shall be qualified for the
position he seeks.
THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY. MARCH 21, 18S3.
The New York Machine.
There is a great deal of gossip just now
as to whether the nations! administration
will declare war upon the democratic polit
ical machine in Now York. The bosses of
the machine are ret resented a. Handing
with chips on their shoul lers waitii g for
the first sign of war irom the admimstra
-1 lion.
Thus far it Is evident that there has teen
a great deal of talk for which there ia very
I little or no foundation. It has been the
common talk among the politicians for
weeks that the friends of Senator Hill, Gov.
Flower and Lieut Gov. Sheehan stand no
chance of getting offices under
the Cleveland administration and
the appointment of Maxwell as
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General and
Whitney as Assistant Attorney General
are taken as indications that Mr. Cleveland
has made up his mind to smash the state
political machine.
On the other side, for the purpose, doubt
less, of arousing the hostility of Mr. Cleve
land's New York friends, it has been as
serted time and time again that Gov.
Flower has been removing Mr. Cleveland’s
friends from offices right along and ap
pointing anti-Cleveland men to the places
thus made vacant.
A day or two ago Gov. Flower was asked
if be was discriminating against Mr.
Cleveland’s friends in making appoint
ments. He said emphatically that
he was not, and that he bad no intention of
doing eo. He named a number of Cleve
land men he had appointed to office since he
became governor, and declared that he
should be guided in filling vacancies by the
recommendations of local political organiza
tions of the Democratic party.
It is apparent, therefore, that there Is, as
yet, very little ground for the assertion that
has been made frequently that the war be
tween the national administration and the
state political machine has begun, and will
be carried on without quarter from either
faotion.
It is announced that while Senators Hill
and Murphy do not like the nominations of
Maxwell and Whitney they will not oppose
their confirmation. They will not oppose
the confirmation of any New York demo
crat, however hostile they may be to him,
who is not nominated for a local office,
such as collector or postmaster.
It will not be known, therefore, whether
there will be trouble between the adminis
tration and the New York machine until
nominations are made for federal offioes in
New York. There may be no trouble at all.
Col. Lamont may succeed in so arranging
the nominations that they will be satisfac
tory to both the Cleveland and anti-Cleve
land faotions. But if there should be war
between the factions it would, in all proba
bility, be a lively one.
What About the Tree Ordinance?
Is the ordinance, recently adopted, against
cutting down tbe trees of the city being
faithfully observed? There are reasons for
thinking it isu’t. That ordinance was passed
in order to put a stop to the indiscriminate
cutting down of the shade trees. When
ever a person wanted a tree removed he
had very little trouble in having it done.
Tbo council took notice of the matter and
adopted an ordinance prohibiting the cutting
down of trees except by special author ity.
How this authority is obtained is clearly
pointed out.
Is this ordinance being obeyed or has it
already become a dead letter? If a dead
letter, what is the use of wasting time in
passing ordinances?
The shade trees belong to the city. They
are the city’s pride, and have cost a great
deal of money. Not one of them should be
removed unless there is a good reason for it.
One man may want a tree removed, while
a hundred would prefer it to remain. Is
the will of one man to continue to prevail?
It would be well for the council to inquire
into this matter.
The only state election to be held this
spring will be that of Rhode Island, to be
held next month. Two congressmen are
among the officers to be voted for. At tbe
November election two congressional dis
tricts failed to give their favorite candidates
the requisite majority of votes cast. Tbe
coming election will be held under anew
ballot law, passed by a republican legisla
ture for the purpose of maintaining repub
lican supremacy. It provides that every
naturalized voter must produce his naturali
zation papers before be will be allowed to
rote. Tbe faot that he has voted In previ
ous elections Is not to be taken as evidence
that he is a legal voter. Tbe republicans
base their hopes upon the fact that many
naturalization papers have been lost, which
means the disfranchisement of the natural
ized votes, most of whom are democrats.
Tbe report that Editor N. G. Gonzales, of
tbe Columbia (S. C.) State, is to be given aa
important consulate will tie received by bis
numerous friends in half a dozen different
states with both pleasure and regret;
pleasure to know that his sterling worth and
ardent party services are to be recognized,
and regret to know that his acceptance of
an appointment will necessitate his retire
ment from journalism, Mr. Gonzales’ long
experience as a Washington correspondent,
and subsequently as ths managing editor of
one of the leading daily papers in South
Carolina , hat made him thoroughly familiar
with democratic policy. And, It may be
remarked, hit democracy it of tbe kind
that found expression In the. Chicago
convention’s actions, and not the kind that
is now dominant in South Carolina.
Tbe observant young man in Washing
ton. who watches tbe growth of tbe list of
applicants for office for tbe New York
iVess, reports that Georgia continues to
send In picturesque proper names. “To
the names of Secretary Hoke Smith, Dink
Bolts, Fod Dismuke and Potsdam Sams are
now to be added those of Tigue Potest and
Nig Brit,” Bays he. In this list, "Pod”
should be credited to New Jersey, which
state, by the way, gave tbe world tbe Hon.
E. Burd Grubb, a feat Georgia never hopes
to equal.
Tbe Cinoinnati Tribune publishes, In a
New York dispatch, this remarkable bit of
political gossip: “It was rumored in polit
ical circles this afternoon that Col. Elliot F.
Shepard would, in a few days, announce a
change in the politioe of his paper, the Moil
and A'a-prsss, in order to support President
Cleveland.” One would about as soon ex
pect the leopard to change its spots as the
Shepard to change his politics. However,
the democracy does not turn its back upon
sincere penitents.
Tbe fashion makers tell us that, not only
is the crinoline coming, but that it will be
acoompouied by tbe ohignon or “ waterfall,”
and gypsy bonnet of a quarter of a century
ago. Now, what are tbe men going to do
to offset these things; wear low shoes with
silver buckles?
The New York health authorities have
come to the rescue of orange shippers. The
market In that city hss teen glutted with
oranges for eome time ar.d much of the
fruit has become overripe. Dealers,
naturally, refrained from buying new
stock io aay amount as long ns they could
wi.r* off the old fruiL iiut the health
authorities have ordered all overripe fruit

The widow of Gen. Sheridan went to the white
house the other day t<> pay her respects to the
President. Mr. ('levuland affably surgeetml
that she might like to renew her acquaintance
with Mi s. Cleveland. This was cheerfully as
sented to by .Mrs. gheri-lan, and the President
personally conducted her to the private portion
of the executive mansion, not trusting the deli
cate mission to any of the attaches of the house
hold.
Among the presents received by the Pope on
the occasion of his jubilee a few weeks ago was
a golden cross set in diamonds, the gift of her
majesty, the Empress of Austria. The empress
is a devout Catholic, and since the tragic death
of her only son three years ago has sought her
consolation in the practices of her faitn. liia
holiness was delighted with her majesty's re
membrance, which was among the most valu
able giftsfrom individuals.
People of more than one denomination have
laughed over that yarn about, the little girl try
ing to sell Phillips Brooks some “Episcopal
Kittens," and defending her subsequent descrip
tion of them to Edward Everett Hale as "Uni
tarian kittens" with the explanation that "they
had gotten their eyes open." But it probably
was not generally behaved tbat the incident
ever occurred, A distinct denial of the story,
addressed by the late bishop to two inquiring
children, is printed in a recent magazine ar
ticle.
Ex Senator Palmer of Michigan, minister to
Spain three years ago and afterward president
of the world's fair commission, had three dogs
when be lived in Washington, and took them
about with him almost constantly. One, a tiny
terrier, was generally carried in his overcoat
pocket, or inside his waistcoat, from which
place the small, biaok head was thrust cut
whenever a familiar voice was heard. Too
other dogs were King Charles spaniels, for
whose exercise on rainy days, when a run out
of doors was undesirable, there was rigged up
in one of the rooms an ingenious walking ma
chine.

"I once had a fight with Grover," raid the
aged ui, straightening up and becoming very
earnest. It was rnnuy jears ago. We botn
went to Mr. King's school. Grover stuck a pin
in the sear of the bench w hich I occupied at
the time, and I was anxious to have revenge. I
kept shaking my fist at him bshind ray book all
day in school. I waited for him behind an elm
tree, still standing on the lawn near the school
home. I had with me Shell Trait and Jewett
Dunbar. Grover came out bold as brass and
tried to look unconcerned. I went up to him
and taid:
* * ‘Grover, you dareu't knock this hickory chip
off my shoulder.’
, "With that I picked up a piece of shellbark
hickory and placed it on my left shoulder, at
the same time getring ready to send him a
reuser with my right fist.
"Shell Pratt and Jewett Dunbar danced
around and told Grover he didn’t dorst to take
the dare. Well, with that, suddenly Grover
knocked the chip off my shoulder, and I let out
with my right, landing under his left eye. He
gave a veil of pain, threw his books on the
grass, spat in his hands, and squared off for da

breath. After resting a moment he resumed
calmly enough, but with a tinge of pride:
"Well, it was one of those old-fashioned,
rough and tumble fights, in which each fellow
pulls hair, scratches, kicks end cuffs to his
heart's content. I was a much more powerful
lad than Grover. Soon I had him down. I
kept yelling out to hfm: ‘You will stick pins in
my seat, will you! You will, will you. and
each time I hit him another bat in the ey e or
the aeck. Well, Shell Pratt and Jewett Dunbar
finally pulled me off. made us shake hands, and
declared the fight over, with victory for me. It
was the proudest day of my life."
"Have you seen Cleveland since, Mr. Bark
ume?" I asked.
"Yes, certainly. I met him when be waa here
four years ago I asked him if he recalled the
boy who had licked him. He did, and laughed
about it. He said if 1 ever carue to Washington
he would give me a dinner at the white house;
but I never went. lam now too old to travel
much. I shall llye and die in my native place,
Fayetteville."
The Vanderbilt Brothers.
Only last Monday Capt. Jake Vanderbilt,
whose death was announced in the Morning
News dispatches Monday morning, was in New
York in the supreme court, where his daughter
in-law, Violet Ward Vanderbilt had brought, a
SIOO,OOO suit against him for alieuating the
affections of her husband and bis son, Jacob
Hand. Vanderbilt, Jr. The suit was dismissed,
but Mrs. Vanderbilt still i as pendiug a suit for
divorce from young Jako.
Although not a millionaire, Capt. Vander
bilt had a comfortable fortune. Asa young
man ho worked for hi* father in the ferry busi
ness and for his brother, the Commodore, on
his steamboat lines. He made several voyages
to Nicaragua as captain of different vessels,
and later became President of the Staten Island
Rapid Transit Company, being succeeded by
Eraatus Wiman.
Capt. Jake, unlike his illustrious brother, de
voted much of his life to en loying himself
rather than chasing golden butterflies. Al
though almost born to boating, he was passion
ately devoted to horseflesh, and also has a
weakness for the theater.
His thoroughly independent spirit was shown
by an anecdote which the captain delighted to
relate, lie was in command of a steamboat
by the commodore, who happened to ba on
board and was ordering some of the deck hands
about.
"Here, sir!" shouted Capt. Jake, "I’m cap
tain of this boat. If you've anything to say to
aov of my crew, say it to me."
"But the boat belongs to me,*’ ex
postulated the commodore.
“That don’t make n bit of difference,"
roared the captain. "I’m boss on board, and if
you owned the boat fifty times over I wouldn't
let you interfere witn me in the performance of
my duty. You do as 1 say or I'll put you
ashore."
Tne commodore weakened.

Change for the Passenger's $lO.
There is a conductor on the Euclid avenue
street car line who played a clever trick on a
passenger tbe other morning, which has proba
bly taught him to have his fare ready hereafter
when he boards a car. The passenger lives
away out at tbe end of the line, and was so
punctual that he caught the same car every
morning. About a week ago he tendered a $lO
bill in payment for bis fare. The conductor did
not have so much money at U e beginning or
his trip and told the passenger that ho would
pay the nickel out of his own pocket and he
could return it the following morning. The
next morninr the business man again oresented
a $lO bill. Again the conductor paid the fare
for him.
This occurred four mornings in succession.
The fifth morning the same $lO bill came around,
but the conductor was prepare and He cirew a
heavy bag from beneath the seat and ban led it
to the poteenger with the remark: "Here's your
cnange, sir. It’s all right I’ve counted it. He
had secured 1,000 pennies the night before and
kept twenty-five of them for the fares he paid
for the business man. The beg contained 075
copper coins. The passenger took the bag and
rang tor the car to Btop. He low rides on
another car.
