Tbe last of the full generals of the late

At many points throughout the United
States to-morrow has been fixed upon by
the workingmen as the day for the deter
mination of the question whether they will
go out on strike or continue at work for
tbe same rate of wages now beiug paid
them. Chicago, probably, is the city most
concerned in ti e decision to be reached to
morrow , for if a strike should be ordered it
would involve the workmen employed on
the worlds fair buildings and grounds,
which are already "behind time.” Em
ployers in Chicago, and elsewhere, tavo
taken Into consideration the possibility of a
senes of strikes, anil announce that they are
very well prepared to meet such an emer
gency. It is to i e hoped, for tho good of
the workingmen as well as of others, that
•trikes may be avoided. In su'-h contests
the people who depend upon their daily
labor for their dally broad are always the
under dogs in the tight, which they learn
to their sorrow when it is too late. Strikes
should only be employed as a last resort;
and even then something elte would be
better.
Tho Central’s Reorganlzttlon.
It was expected that tbe plan for the re
organization of the Central Kailroad and
Banking Company would he attacked, and
that a number of legal battles would have
to be fought before reorganization could be
effected. Of the suits thus far begun one or
two are, apparently, for the purpose of
dismembering the system in order to build
up other systems from the fragments, and
the indications are that the others have for
their obiect the getting of better terms
I from the reorganization committee for cer
tain of tho securities. The only ine of the
suits that is calculated to arrest the atten
tion cf security holJers is that begun in
Washington on Friday, in which an
injunction is asked to prevent the fore
closure of the mortgage which is the basis
of the tripartite bonds. Tho plaintiffs in
this su t offer to taize up the tripartite
bonds, and allege that their object is to
protect tbe juoior security holders. The
inference is that they have a plan of reorgani
zation which they purpose to submit to the
security holders.
A little consideration is sufficient to con
vince a disinterested observer that the in
terests of the great majority of tbe security
holders would not be bettered by joining
hands with the plaintiffs in this injunction
suit. In the first place it is not apparent
that they have a plan of reorganization, or
even strong financial backing. The fact
that they, or the guarantee company
in sympathy with them, offer to take
the tripartite bonds from the holders
of them at their face vaiue and accrued in
terest amounts to nothing. There is no bet
ter security than the tripartite bonds, and
they pay an exorbitant rate of interest.
Anybody would like to get them and hold
them for years. It is to the interest of
security holders that they shall be paid as
soon as possible. It is worthy of notioe
that the plaintiffs in the Injunction suit do
not purpose to pay them. They seek to ac
quire ownership of them, aDd then reorgan
ize the Centrai’s properties to suit them
selves.
Bjt what sort of securities do the plain
tiffs in this suit own? According to their
own showing they own bonds of two in
solvent roads that are not included in the
Central’s reorganization plan. These bonds
were not included because it was considered
that tr ey have comparatively little value.
If tbit was the reason they were
left oo; inference is that if the owners
of th i should succeed in defeating the re
organization plan, and should propose a
plan of their own, they would place a
greater value upon their securities than it
is believed they possess, and the holders of
really valuable securities would get less
than if the present plan should become
operative.
It is true that it is possible to propose
a plan that offers more than the present
one, but would it be a safe one? The
property can be made to earn only so much
money and it would be folly to reorganize
it upon any other basis than its net earn
ings. Tho security holders have had all
they WBnt of financiering upon possible
future earnings. If the Central’s annual
reports tell the truth, and there is every
reason to believe they do, one of the reasous
why the Central is in Its present unfortunate
condition was the indorsing of bonds of
roads that do not pay operating expenses.
And it is these bonds that it is proposed by
the plaintiffs in the injunction suit to saddle
upon the Central in a plan of reorganization
of their own.
If we are not mistaken the great majority
of tbe security holders of the Central ays
tern will giyw uo,encouragement to those
who aretryiftgtb defeat the present plan of
reorganization, which gives them more
thau they are likely to get by any other
plan. Other plans will not have their in
terests in view; thoy will have primarily
the interests of a few who hope to got more
for themselves under a plan of their own.
The defeat of the present plan means
more lttigation and delay and expense.
The longer reorganization is put off the
less security holders will get. Expenses of
all sorts will accumulate and the upshot of
the business will be that what the lawyers,
reorganization committees and financiers
leave will hardly be worth having.
Factories ior Ksvannsh.
The time is not distant when there will be
a good deal of idle capital In Savannah.
Gradually, all the ports are losing their cot
ton factorage business. To a greater extent
each succeeding year cotton is sold in the
interior towns and shipped direct to Europe
or the mills la this country.
The money now employed In the cotton
commission business will have to be Invested
in other ways. Why not Invest it in fact
ories. It has been demonstrated that the
manufacture of cotton yaru pavs hero in
Savannah, and it is safe to say that tho
manufacture of all tho coarser eottou goods
could be carried on very profitably.
Business men of the city who have been
watching the cotton commission business
for several years and who take an 1 iterest
in tho city’s future realize that other kinds
of busiuess and other industries must be
established. They have canvassed Savan
nah’s advantages for cotton factories and
are confident they could be operated so they
would yield a handsome return ou the
money invested in them.
This question of factories for Savnnnah
is one for the business men of Savannah to
think about. Indeed, they caiiuot afford to
ignore it. It is certain that the city is to
grow, and employment for her people must
be provided.
Savannah is losing no more of her cotton
commission business thau other ports—per
haps not so much, but she is losing enough
to show that the methods of handling cotton
are steadily changing, and that the time is
not distant when there will not be a need
for a great deal of capital to oarry on the
commission business. There is a need for
factories and there is an opening for them
here. Efforts should he made to induce the
investment of local capital in them.
Not long ago it was stated, upon Chicago
authority, that among the other royal visi
tors to the world’s fair would be King
Behanzin of Dahomey, who would bring
over a company of amazons and illustrate
the life how cannibals live at homo. But
of late not a word has been said one way or
the other about Behanzin’s trip. Has he
given it up? It really does not make any dif
ference to Chicago that he has lost his
throne; Chicago never saw a throne, so she
would not know the difference.
The opinion seems to prevail, at least in
Washington, that the next commissioner of
pensions should come from the east. The
west has been given the office so often that
it iook3 upon the place as its private prop
erty. There are at least several “cabinet
sized” ex-federal soldiers in the east who
would be pleased to accept the position, and
there is a likelihood that the President will
select one of them.
THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. APRIL 2, 18S3---SIXTEEN PAGES.
Renubl'can Extraveiarance.
The discovery that the allowances for the
expenses of the Bering sea arbitration that
were made just before tho end of the Harri
son administration are extravagant in the
extreme seems to hare stirred up quite a
little breeze of exciteroe.it in official circin
In Washington. The allowances were made
by -Mr. John W. Foster just before he
ceased to be Secretary 1 1 State, and he ap
pears to have made the most of his oppor
tunity to show how generous a republican
government can be to its servants at the
public’s expense.
The amount appropriated for the expenses
! of tbe arbitration is §250,000, and unless
the session of the board of ahitrators is a
very short one that amount will not be near
enough.
There are fifteen persons on tho arbitra
tion pay roll,, and, besides their salaries,
quite a number of them are allowed §ls a
day for expenses. Tbe least allowance for
expenses is $5 a day, and it is to be pre
sumed that the stenographers get that.
Maj. Halford, who was President Har
rison’s private secretary, but who, at the
end of Harrison’s administration, vras made
a paymaster in the army, fares better than
any other one of the fifteen in the matter of
allowance. He not only gets his salary,
which is a good one, and commutation for
quarters, rations and mileage, but also §ls
a day. If the major isn’t satisfied he ought
to be. What need anyway is there for a
paymaster of tbe army at Paris?
The arbitrators have no use for
bis services. What folly it is to keen such
an offioial in attendance on the hoard of ar
bitration, simply to pay the fifteen men
connected with it in one way and another
their salaries? No doubt Maj. Halford
wanted to travel a bit in Europe aDd so he
was sent along with the arbitration party
at the expense of the government.
It would be a dlffloult matter, probably,
for Mr. Foster to point out the necessity for
so many lawyers, clerks and stenographers
In presenting the American side of the
Bering sea dlft\pul tv. Was it Mr. Foster’s
idea that a big delegation would make a
favorable impression upon the arbitrators?
Avery pretty bill this country will have to
pay for Mr. Foster’s extravagance.
It would not be surprising if Mr. Cleve
land should recall half of tbe junketing
party and out off the greater part of the
allowance of the other half. Such a course
would oreate a sensation probably, but it
would be approved by the people of this
country who have to pay the bills.
It is all well enough to say that the United
States must keep up appearances, but keep
ing up appearances and reckless extrava
gance are widely different things. On ;§ls
a day the youngsters of the arbitration
delegation will be able to see the io6lde and
outside of Paris without touching their
salaries, and old ieliows can live like fight
ing cocks. Avery nice time the attaohes
of the arbitration court will have on the
people’s money.
Preparing to Leave Kansas.
The political situation in Kansas is alarm
ing to her conservative citizens. A great
many of them.it is said, are selling their
possessions and preparing to get out of the
state, while others are getting their business
affairs into such a shape that they can leave
promptly if it should become advisable to
do so.
The governor and all the other state
officers are populists of the most partisan
kin 1, and their avowed purpose is toad
minister their offices so as to strengthen the
populist party and give it control of the
state two years hence. It seems to be un
derstood that they will hesitate at nothing
to accomplish their purpose—that they will
use the returning boards to oount in the
populist candidates unless the majority
against them Is so great that it would be
dangerous to do so.
It is asked what the populists would do if
they should got control of the state. It is
alleged they would overturn existing laws
and shape legislation go as to make their
principles effective. Some idea of what
they would do is gained from the statement
that the state is full of anarchists, socialists,
communists, union laborites, greenbaokers
and adherents of all the isms that have had
supporters in the last half century Many
of these people don’t know what they want.
They are dissatisfied, and are ripe for any
movement, however radical and unreason
able it may be.
A source of danger is the national guard
the governor is organizing. It Is said that
only adherents of his political faith ars ad
mitted into ita ranks. He wants a force
that will obey when he orders. It looks,
therefore, as if he and other leaders of his
kind purpose to carry thoir party into
power at the point of the bayonet if they
cannot do it any other way.
The signs ot trouble are sufficient to make
citizens who have something at stake un
easy. It looks now as if Kansas would lose
more in population than she will gain in the
next few years. It is certain that outside
capital will not be invested in her limits.
Capital is too timid to go where disconteut
is so loud mouthed and threatening.
There was in the life of the late Gen. E.
Kirby Smith a pretty romance which might
furnish the groundwork for a novel of tho
war. He was thirty miles away when the
battle of Bull Run was begun, but by
forced marching he brought his troops up
just in time to render important aid to the
confederates. At the bead of his troops he
charged the enemy, and during the charge
was severely wounded. He was carried to
the house of Col. McDaniel, where he re
ceived the attention his condition required.
Col. McDaniel's daughter was his constant
attendant, aud it is probable that her tender
care saved the soldier’s life. Of such a be
ginning there oould be but one ending; the
nurse end the patient fell in love with each
other,and the day that he signed a mar
riage certificate he reoeived his commission
as a major general. Bo the soldier’s wound
won him a wife. There are numerous war
stories turning on like incidents, but none of
them is more interesting than Geu. Kirby
Smith’s romance.
W. W. Reynolds, who committed suicide
in New York last week, was an interesting
character. His life was full of adventure,
tbe moat romantic of which, probably, was
his escape from Baris during the siege of
1871. He was in the Frenoh capital as the
agent, of an American arms manufacturing
company at the time, and not only assisted
in the preparations, but loft the beleaguered
city with Gambetta in a balloon.
Tho $20,020,000 typewriter trust that has
been mooted for the past several months is
at last a fact. It has been incorporated

that the business of trust making is a long

ing. Attorney General Olney will find his
bands full when he eventually comes to the
place to smash a few trusts.

CURRENT COMMENT.
Light weight Patriotism.
From the Springfield Republican ( Ind.).
The troub’e about these effu3ivo western bank

assumed in these cases that the "patriotism"
involved will of course bo laken at a discount.

From the Boston Globe (Dem.).
There is little danger that congress will ever

judges say that it has not been so democratic
for many years a9 it is now, and .even the rich

Coming- In by tho Back Door.
From the PhilidelDhia Ledger (Ind.).
Immigrants have begun to arrive from Ham
burg in border cities of the north and west by
wav of Halifax. They have evidently chosen
that route to escape such quarantine as might
be found necessary In Atlantic ports. Under
the circumstances the government will be justi
fied in imposing upon them the severest quar
anti e restrictions. They aro trying to roroe
their vray into tl e country in defiance of quar
antine regulations, and will havo no right to
complain if they do not find at the back door
as many conveniences provided during their de
tention as they might have had if they had
coine openly by the front door.
The Extra Session in Autumn.
from the Xew York Times (Ind.),
Tbe wise men in Washington are trying to ac
count for Mr. Clevidand’s reported intention of
calling congress together iu the varly autumn
by the theory that he is afraid of defoat in the
election naxt year if tariff legislation is not
completed early. This feerns like going a long
wav for a reason wi.ich is close at hand. Anew
congress meeting in December never gets to
work before the middle of January. The el* c
tion or a speaker and organization of commit
tees uses tip the tune before the holidays, and
the committees, after the return to Washington
iu tho first wo.'k of January, are sure to do
nothing of consequence lor ten days at least.
Vet the organization could easily l>e completed
in ten days should congress meet in September,
and not only would a full mouth be thus saved,
but there would be a chance for more deliberate
and careful work. This, undoubtedly, is all
there is of the matter.

the pit of Uncle b i‘s stomach.
The old man lingered t -r. e days. He told
D c Callahan that he would not nave cared if
h*; had been run over by the cars, blown up
with giant powder or caught in a snow-dido, but
be dia not want to die from th § kick ot a mule
The doc had been pouring hot wbi ky into the
old ina i for twenty-four hours, which led
to remark:
“if we keep up our present gait, Uncle Si,
you’ll recover from the kick —
“Hurrahyelled ti e old man.
•‘Hold on,'* says the dec; “you'll recover from
the kick, but you'll die from the trimmins"
“Ina agreeable.'' said the old man; “we’ll b*t
* er KO at that. Hathe me inside once more with
that oil of glad less.”
On the evening of the third day Uncle Si sud
denly gave a yell and sprang up in bed.
‘“You've saved me from the mule'. * he yellel
to the doc. “I've got ’em—the trimmlns: Ha!
ha| There's tne yt liow giraffe wiui the green

“Nop.”
“It’s the trimmi-ii?”
'Yep."
“ W hoopee!'’ ycl’ed Uncle Pi. as he fell back

Two “Great” Dotrs.
“Joe” Blackburn loves dogs as well a9 horses,
and so did Senator Kenna. When tbe letter wos
alive, the New York Tribune , there were
some warm controversies between them as to
the merits of their respective favorites. Each
owned a fine pointer, and the Senate cloak room
was the scene of many a forensic argument on
tne sub ject of dogs. Mr. Kenna once sai lto
Mr. Blackburn, lighting a cigar “Joe.
you may talk as you like about your dog, but
mine won’t go out with me when the cartridges
don’t fit my gun. 1 '
An audible smile went round the room and
everybody thought: “Well, for once, Joe Black
burn has been beaten at his own game. ’
1 he junior senator from Kentucky, however,
was equal to the t oeosion. He looked at Kenna
for a moment, and r.hen repl ed quietly:
‘‘Well, Kenna, I acknow.edge that your dog
exhibits an Intel igeaee almost akm to reason,
but I don’t mind backing mine against him. I
was in the fields one day with that dog, and a
man I was not acquainted with came along near
us. My dog pointed at him. leaded at that
dog, but nothing would Induce him to move. So
I went unto the stranger, and. ‘Sir,’ said 1,
’would you oblige me with your name?’ ”
“ ‘Certainly,’ replied the stranger, ‘my name
is Partridge.”’
Without another word Kenna took Black
burn's arm, and both disappeared in the direc
tion of the Senate restaurant.
Was Not to Be.
The old man, sitting in the dim twilight, had
a red no te, while the entire countenance of the
youth who leaned dejectedly agaii.st the mantel
was of alabaster wi iteness.
Yet they were obviously father and son.
The younger heart had confessed a secret,
says the Detroit Free Frees. It bled with hope
less love.
*'My boy”
The parental voice trembled with sympa
thy—
“why do you say hopeless? There Is no
woman so proud she cannot be won, none so
good that you”
His eyes rested proudly upon tbe drooping
figure of his offspring
“are not worthy of her.”
The head, which tune has yet to touch with
frostiug fingers, shook sadly.
“You do not know, sir,”
His words came iu halting accents
—-“whereof you speak. You are no'aware
how immeasurably superior to my station is
that of her whom I adore. “
“Who is this paragon?” demanded the father.
“The hired girl. ”
They wept together.
Tt was one of those distressing instances of af
fection that must be stifled because Its gratifi
cation is impossible.
Hoopaklrta In War Times.
During tho war the crinoline played a very
practical part, as many ladies were in the habit
of hiding contraband articles under their skirts
and in this manner smuggling them through
the lines to the soldiers, ” said Al Guuter of Den
ver to a St. Louis Hepubhc writer. “I remem
ber one instance of the kind of which I was a
witness. 1 was a boy about 14 and with my
mother was about to cnaVe a visit from Memphis
to Grenada. Wo were detain© i at the guard
house waiting for a pansport, for which we had
an order, when a richly dressed lady came in
aud presented a note from the commanding of
ficer to pass her through the lines. She would
have got througn easy enough, but as she was
leaving the station the band of her hoopskirt
broke and it fell to the ground. The lady
screamed and swooned dead away Fastened
to the skirt were a dozen pairs of fine cavalry
boots, which she was endeavoring to smuggle
through to confederate soldiers, f-he was
locked up and it was some time before friends
secured her release. My mother was so badly
frightened by the incident that she gave up the
visit to Grenada, for she too had some contra
band goods tied to her crinoline.'*
A Procouncod Case.
The reporter who may some day become a
great American humorist was sick, ana a friend
w*s waiting on him, says the Detroit Frest
I'rtss. A bottle and a pill box were on the
table.
“Where’s the quinine!** inquired the young
man, nosing around.
“In that bottle,” designating the on© on the
table.
“ What’9 in the box! ’ asked the friend,picking
up b th and readin? th‘* labels.
“Keeneen,” was the reply.
“Whut*B tne difference? ' was the somewhat
astonished qu. ry.
The sick man laughed.
“Well that in the bottle I got at wholesale
and paid 25 cents l or 200 x rains, and that in the
box I bought at r ‘tail and paid 25 cents for 25
grains. Do you eaten on?”
The friend rave a little whistle.
‘ I presume,’ n- said, “eyetrier will do,** and
gave the patient one o: each.

True, they never le.t a triendless chicken to nod

The royal crown of Great Britain is composed
•almost entirely of diamonds, pearls and rubies,
weighs Sit ounces and 5 pennyweights,
troy, and is valued at $1,200,00). Wnen the
Koninoor was first brought to Europe it weighed
186 carats, but by cutting has been reduced to
102.
Great Britain is now far in advance of Rus
sia as far as regards extent of possessions. The
recent partition of Africa has added 2,000,000
square miles (nominally at least) to the British
possessions At the end of 1892 the British em
pire, including protectorates, spread over 12,-
206,605 square miles, while Russia, the next
largest country, included only 8.457,269 square
miles. 'lt may be remarked that nearly one
fourth of the immense area of the British em
pire has been added within the fast five years
The Salisbury government appropriated more
land than the whole area of the United States.
The moon and its phases have always been
suspected by stargazers and others to have a
great deal to do with the fortunes and affairs cf
the people of the earth. Now, however, it is
proposed to add to their importance by holding
them responsible for the appetites cf the fishes
of the sea. According to a veteran continental
angler who has recently given to the world the
results of his observations, fishes bite most
freely during the four or five days after the
moon's first quarter, while from the third day
after the last quarter to the second day before
the new moon the sport Is at Its worst.
The first half of the name “Ferdinand” Is
icorh, "youth” or "life”; the second half is a
little uncertain, but may be conjectured to be
prohablv nauth, "daring." It was the Spanish
Goths who gave it its earliest vogue in the penin
sula as Fernando or Fernan. San Fernando,
king of Castile, sent it on to Aragon and thence
to Naples, where it became Ferdinando, and
figures in “The Tempest” accordingly as Fer
dinand. With Ferdinand ami Isabella its fame
grew worldwide. Again, in Spain itself, it be
came Hernando and Heroan, in which last shape
it wag Immortalized by Cortez. Who would
have suspected the conqueror of Mexico of
bearing a name which on analysis turns out to
be pure Anglo-Saxon?
A writer in the March Atlantic gives this
as the origin of the slang word "socdollager,”
which was current some time ago. ••Socdolla
ger" was the uneducated man's transposition
of ‘'doxoioger,” whioh was the familiar New
England rendering of “doxoiogy.” This was
the puritan term for the verse of ascription
used at the conclusion of every hymn, like the
•‘Gloria” at the end of a chanted psalm. On
doctrinal grounds it was proper for the whole
congregation to jom in the singing, so that it
became a triumphant winding up of tie whole
act of worship. Thus It happened that “soc
dollager” became the term for anything which
left nothing else to tollow; a decisive over
whelming finish, to which no reply was possible.
Perhaps you think you know what rrcogni
tion Is; but you don't until you have read the
following from the PHiio&nphiral Review: ''Re
cognition by other consciousnesses, it may be
freely admitted, Is an all important test of
transsubjective reailty. That whioh is recog
nized by others certifies itself to me as an ob
jective or trans subjective fact, not a subjective
fancy. The recognition is a decisive ratio cog
noscendi of its independent oxistsnoe, but, con
versely, It is the existence of a transsubjective
reality that is the ratio essendi of the recog
nition. That, at any, is the only hypothesis
whioh can be got to work with more than super
ficial plausibility. Because an independent fact
exists, everybody recognizes It; but no multi
plication of subjective recognitions can in them
selves manufacture a real object in any other
than a Berkleian sense.”
There Is no doubt that half the pleasant fiavor
of the orange is destroyed by the difficulty of
eating It gracefully, although that is a feat of
which, like building an open fire, every one im
agines his method Is the best. So great a ter
ror does an orange Inspire iu a woman at a
luncheon, with the fatal example whicn has so
often been told hanging oyer her of the man
who broke an engagement wi en he saw his
sweetheart hacking at one, that this delightful
food is generally tabooed. One feels tempted
to follow the example of the dear old lady who
was in the habit of retiring to her room with
an orange and locking tbe door after her. But
the mystery was lately solved at a luncheon,
and the solution will be hailed with delight by
housekeepers. The oranges were peeled and
sliced and brought on the table cut up flee in
p inch glasses, in which there was a great deal
of juice. In eaoh glass there was cracked ice
aud sugar, and this delicious combination,
which embodies all the delights of the fruit,
with none of its disadvantages, is eaten with a
spoon.
The world has now more people than It ever
had before, but it Is only a few years till one
generation passes away and it is followed by
another, says the San Francisco Examiner.
Probably tbe average duration of lire, taking
the world over, is not above thirty years. The
increase of the world's population in this cen
tury has been rapid, but too total is yet under
1.500,000.01)0. In 1801 It was put by Malte Brun at
1i40.t00.000 and very few of the 040,000,000 are
now alive. Probably treble that number have
been born and died since that dale. The deaths
in the present century undoubtedly exceed the
number of persons now living. As we go back
in bistory we find a smaller population, but
with smaller aud smaller data to go on. The
only fair basis we have for an estimate at the
beginning of the Christian era is the population
of tto Roman empire This included the most
civilized races of mankind, and was the most
extensive and powerful nation tbe world had
ever seen. Yet the Roman empire, from the
best obtainable data that has come down to us,
did not at the death of Augustus, 14
B. C., exceed 53.C00.100 people.
iDdia and China were the only
populous part of the earth beyona the limits,
aud It is not probable that the total population
of the world ran above 200,000, 0 oat that date
Yet if we allow forty years as the average of
life at that era this population, if stationary,
would take only 300 years to show as many
deal hB as there are now living people. Egypt,
the country of which we have the most ancient
records, has now 6.800,000 inhabitants, hour
thousand years ago it had probably about
6,000,000, and was then a strong and civilized
nation. The population of tbe Nile valley has
remained almost constant under all cl anges.
If we put it at an average of 5,0 XI,OOO and allow
eaoh Inhabitant forty years of life the land of
Egypt alone in the 6,000 years since the earliest
history opens on the full-grown nation has fur
nished 750,000,000 dead, or half as many as the
living of to-day, and back of the recorded his
tory there are hundreds of countries through
which nan was developing up to the point
where he could form a government or make a
record.
