to show tho poor how to have cheap
funerals and at the same time pay proper
respect to the dead. Yielding to iron
bound custom, it frequently hapjieus that
in the burial of their dead poor people ex
pend much more than they can anord,
even to the extent of robbing the living
of more or less of the necessaries of life.
And it would probably be within the pale
of the truth to say there are undertakers

the making of a display, encourago ex
travagance in funerals. If Mr. Straus
succeeds in instituting the reform he pro
poses he will work a lasting benefit to the

Chairman Wilson's illness with typhoid

on u number of occasions. At tho same
time, it could hardly bo counted good
news to bear that Mr. Wilsou. on the ad
vice of the general, is taking the “Ji ama”
loot treatment. While the root may bo
the tong sought euro for typhus, still
its good properties have not been demon

The Senatorial Caucus.
Nothing was done by the senatorial
caucus yesterday to advance the Wilson
bill. It was hardly expected that unr
thing would be done. Senator Yoorhees.
thecha.rman of the finance committee,
s lid teat the sub-committee was looking
carefully after the interests of the whole
country! and that he believed that the
changes that had been made in the bill,
and those that would be made, would
meet with very general approval. It is
sincerely to be hoped he is right, and that
the bill will not be kept in the Senate a
long time beiore being acted upon.
Last week it was reported that the sub
committee would report the bill yesterday
to the full committee. Whoever is re
sponsible for that report was not well in
formed. There was no meeting of the
committee yesterday, for the reason that
there was not a quorum. A number of
the members of the committee evidently
had business elsewhere which they re
garded of more importance, or else they
were informed that the bill was not yet
ready to be submitted to the committee.
The slow way in which the Senate does
business does not justify the expectation
that the bill will be pushed rapidly to a
vote when it gets into the Senate. It is
more than likely that weeks will be oc
cupied in debate, and that it will be well
along in the spring before a voto is
reached.
in the meantime the country is waiting
for definite information as to what
changes are to be made in the tariff.
There will be no general revival in busi
ness until it is definitely known what the
changes are, though it is evident, from
the fact that mills are being started in
different parts of the country, that there
will be great activity in all kinds of busi
ness as soon as the tariff is settled.
The republicans are doing what they
can to prevent the passage of the Wilson
bill, and will prevent it if they can. The
Washington correspondents of the repub
lican papers are asserting that the demo
cratic senators are so divided in respect
to certain features of it that an agree
ment among them is practically impossi
ble. Their information is not the best.
Asa matter of fact, they have no informa
tion at all that is reliable. The discus
sion in the caucus of the democratic sena
tors yesterday morning did not indicate
the probability that the democrats would
not be able to so shape tho bill as to se
cure the vote of every democratic sen
ator.
There need be no fear that the bill will
not be passed. The future of the Demo
cratic party depends upon its passage.
The democratic leaders know that if it is
not passed the next congress will be a re
publican one. The promise to the people
to lower the tariff has got to be carried
out.
While there is no anxiety about the
passage of the bill there is a good deal
about the delay in passing it. The coun
try is practically standing still waiting
for the Senate to act. and the Senate
does not appear to be in a hurry. If the
finance committee would get down to
steady work and quickly send the bill to
tho Senate, and the Senate would show
that It means to act promptly when it get
control of the bill, there would be a very
general feeling of relief.
As to a Maternal Government.
The woman suffragists, lately in con
vention at Washington, “demand” that
there shall be “a mother element in the
government.”
The mother element in private life is
the mainstay of society—naturally; and
the mother influence on individuals is the
most beneficent that is ever exercised
upon mankind. But there are serious
drawbacks to adopting a mother element
into our political affairs.
We have tried the father element in
our government for a quarter of a
century, now just about ending, and
have found it seriously wanting. The
McKinley bill, “the culminating atrocity
of class legislation”—so pronounced by’
the people by an overwhelming majority in
the fail of 1892—embodies in a very high
degree tho priuciple of paternalism. It
assumes that the government is superior
to the people, knows better what class of
industries the people should engage in
than tiie people themselves, and favors a
few of those classes at the expense of the
other classes. It assuirn s that the proper
way to make a country wealthy and pros
perous is to tax its citizens from 50 to 100
percent, on whatever they must buy, and
force them to sell the surplus products
of tlieir industry in a market open to the
competition of the world. It assumes
that limited supplies are the sources of
plenty, and that abundance causes pov
erty.
And what assurance have we that a
maternal government would not adopt the
ideas of tho paternal government?
Furthermore, we have had a most ex
asperating "old woman” element in our
government for years; and the eountry is
getting very tired of it; vide tho growing
disgust with the United States Senate.
We do not mean to draw a parallel be
tween the “old woman" elomeut and tho
“maternal" element suggested by the
woman suffragists. The comparison
would be manifestly unfair to the “female
women,” who, there is reason to believo,
would try to keep in touch with the
times, and at least make a bluff at nine
teenth century progress, whether they
accompli bed anything in that way or
not. But we do assert that the atti
tude of the old women of the Senate on
matters of public interest that have arisen
during the recent past has had a tendency
to prejudice progressive people against
the idea of putting more femininity into
the government.

THE MORNING NEWS: J UESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, i894.
Lower Ocean Rates for Cotton.
Savannah has lost a great deal of cotton
this year because her ocean freight rates
have been considerably higher than those
of any other South Atlantic port. It is
safe to estima.e that her loss has been
more than ITO.(X>I bales. • There are those
who think Savannah's receipts would
have already reached 1.000.00 J oalesif her
ocean rates had been as low as those at
Charleston or Brunswick.
It is evident that the causes th3t have
operated against Savannah this season
will operate against her next season, and
each succeeding season, unless they are
removed, with the result that she will
ultimately lose the greater part of her
cotton business. That cotton will go
where it can be handled at the least cost
is so apparent that no sane man will dis
pute it.
One of the causes of the high rates
from Savannah, and it is said to be
the chief one, is the cost of stowing cot
ton on shipboard. According to state
ments made it costs from 35 to 35 cents a
bale more to stow cotton here than at
either Charleston or Brunswick. In
these days of fierce competition that dif
ference gives those ports an immense ad
vantage, an advantage that scanuot be
overcome by deeper water, greater capi
tal or in any other way. The profit in the
cotton business is not now as great as it
was a few years ago. In every phase of
the business, as in almost every other
kind of business, the margin on which
business is done is exceedingly small.
The only way savannah can hold her
cotton trade is to make her ocean rates
as low as they arc at any other South At
lantic port, and in order to do that the
cost of stowing cotton on shipboard must
be no greater than at the ports with
which she compotes.
Naturally the cotton screwmen object
to any reduction in their wages. They
point to the wages received by screwmen
at New Orleans and Galveston, and say
their wages are no higher, if as high, as
screwmen's wages at those ports. Ad
mitting what they say to be correct, is
that an argument in their favor! As
long as New Orleans andGalvestoascrew
men maintain practically the same rate of
neither is likely to lose any cotton to
which she is logitimitely entitled, but if
cotton were stowed on shipboard at Galves
ton for 35 cents a bale less than at New Or
leans, wages at New Orleins would have
to be lowered, or else Now Orleans would
steadily lose her cotton business.
New Orleans and Galveston are not
competitors of Savannah, but Charles
ton, Brunswick. Port Koyal and Norfolk
are. The wages at Savannah, therefore,
f she is to hold her cotton business, must
conform to those of the South Atlantic
ports. This is so evident that it canuot
be successfully disputed.
No doubt Savannah shippers would like
to < o’itinue to pay the xvages the screw
men have been receiving, and still de
mand, if they could do so aed still retain
their business. They have been unable
this season to make an ocean rate as low
ns that at either Brunswick or Charles
ton, and consequently Savannah has lost
a great deal of cotton and a number of
ships
The Savannah shippers have deoided to
bring ocean rates down to those of their
competitors, and yesterday the loading
of a ship was begun with labor that is not
identified with that which heretofore
controlled the loading of cotton ships.
They were forced to this course, and their
purpose is to persist in it. If the screw
men have any fault to find with this new
condition of affairs, it ought to
be with the screwmen at other
South Atlantic ports, who, by
reducing tho cost of loading ships there,
have made it necessary to reduce the cost
of loading them here.
There is no purpoae to reduce the
wages of any class of men in order that
shippers may have a greater profit. Tho
sole purpose is to prevent the business of
the port from going elsewhere. Tho
shippers are no more interested, pecuni
arily, in this matter than other citizens
of Savannah.
Congressman Lester is giving his at
tention to the matter of getting an appro
priation for a survey for a cut across
Jones island to Wright’s river, and hopes
to have the item inserted in the river and
harbor hill no.v under consideration in
committee and shortly to be reported to
the House. The keeping open of tho
inland water routes a'ong tho coast is a
matter of great importance, and espe
cially so in the case of the routes between
the Savannah river and points to the
north. The jetties recently built in the
Savannah river below Venus Point have
virtually dosed Wright's river and cut
off water communication between this
city and Daufuskie island, Bludton and
o.har places to the northward, except by
Way of Calaboga sound. And it is not
safe for small craft or inland steamers to
cross the sound in stormy weather. Tho
matter of Securing anew opening into
Wright's river, and thus regaining a safe
inland waterway, is receiving the atten
tion of committee* of the cotton exchange
and board of trade. The efforts of these
bodies, with the co-operation of Congress
man Lester, will very probaoly result in
securing tho necessary appropriation at
an early day.

If not a well-known fact. It is at least an
oft repeated tradition, that wild rabbits by a
sudden alarm may te frightened to death,
says the Philadelphia Record. Whether such
a death Is due lo rupture of a blood vessel In
the brain or to collapse of the ventrlclesof
the heart was the s lentiflc prol lem lhat en
gaged the scalpel of an advanced student of
surgery for several das s last week. The rab
bit had been shot at whi e leaping toward a
Delaware county hunter concealed behind a
tree, the range was so close that when he
picked up the dead animal the hunter ex
pected to find it riddled with shot. To his
surprise, not a wound could be discovered,
and. com luring it had been killed bvfrLht.
he sent it fer post mortem examination to his
friend, the student. The latter decided, after
an exhaustive disse tion. that "death by
fright results from heart failure, precisely as
it results from chloroform.''
The question Is often asked: “Will an ob
icct thtown into tie air (either from the
hand, a volcano, or even when shot from a
rifle or cannon i return to the earth with the
same initial velocity with which it left:-" The
answer the St. Lou s Republic says, is A
projectile thrown vertically upwards into the
air will return with a velocity less than the
initial, ihewo -d less is emphasized because
this view of the matter is coatrary to the one
generally accepted, fn the air the aecelera
ting for,e wh ch acts during the descent is
not equal to the retarding farce during ascent.
Tne retarding fore* is the same for the
weight of the pro.c.tile and the atmospheric
resistance—both acting in he samq.direc
tion ,n the descent the a celeratiag force is
the difference of these two siaco they act in
opposite directions. In a vacuum it would be
different. In that case, the weight of the
projectile being the only force acting, this
force would generate tn each foot of the ball
exactly the same amount of velocity that it
had lost in its passage upwards. Thus the
final would find it with a speed equal to Us
initial velocity.

"You sometimes hear of men who can ride
anything that wears hair," said Maj. Bar
bour to a Washington Star reporter. "Some
times you hear the men say so lhemsel.es.
Riding is merely a matter of leg-grip and
equilibrium. Like any other art. it has Its
possi -duties and its limitations. 1 know some
uorses lhat no man can ride. So instanta
neous strong, and violent is the muscular
action of these animals that if a human I eing
were placed in the saddle he wo cl 1 have to
come off. The MoxieanS are the best riders
in the world, and you never see them mount
on unbio ten animal without every nre.ai
tion. Tory hopple the stirrups—that is con
nect them by a piece of rope some 2 feet
long —use two girths to the saddle,
uni tie across the pommel a heavy

which, when seated, the.r thighs fit. With all
of these appurtenan es the} .a e frequently
thrown. The actioh of the "Ducking horse of
the pralrus. you must understand. Is utterly
different from the action of the civilize:! horse.
The latter jumps with a straight soring
'com the hind legs. It is easv one gh to sit
IheiV r ner arched his tack until his spine
fores an apex upon which the rider is
perched goes straight into the air. and comes
down with all four legs stiff, ibe jar is ter
rlfli. 1 have seen blood run out of the noso.
ears and eyes of bronco busters.' Next to
the Mexican in natural riding ability, comes
the southern negro, and after him the western
Indian. As for tho gentlemen of ihe Chevy
Chase aniseed pursuers 1 fear that they
would not oe in it. Use of the pigskin sad
dle does not fit a man for rough work."

In London, where 9 o'cio. k is frequently
named as the dinner hour, the long English
twilight during the season sosms an ade
quate excuse for very late hours, out with us
it wo Id be a i aosuro exaggeration to turn
night into day, and vice versa. The unwont
ed feature of this season seems to l e the
great lick of dinners, and the travelling
Englishman has fallen upon tho very evil
da vs. indeed. "1 was told that your
people were so extraordinary hospit
able. " said a nowlv arrived Briton the other
day, “and that I shoud be asked te and ne some
where every night, but as it happens I have
been asked but only a couple of times al
though 1 have presented all my loiters and
have been in New York for the last ten days.
Young clubmen, too. are complaining not a

Java the land of the famous and much
exaggerated "Death V alley," has many
wonderful curiosities in the shape of or
nithological. geo o-rical. zoologies, and botani
cal oddities, tl.e chief among the latter being
the "Kail Mujau. or death plant,” says the
St. Louis Remit.lie. It gio-.vs only on the
stern sou of tb ; vol.male regions of java
and the adjoining islands, and is even there
recloned as a cl riesity oa aci ount of its ex
treme scarcity, beinr rurciv met with even
by those having a ) nvwie ge of its haunts
and general characteristics. It grows from
2‘* to 3 feet in height, with long, slender
stems, well protected bv stout thorns nearly
an inch in lenth. The g.ound leaves are of a
delicate s itin like smoothness, heait shaped
emerald green o-i one side and blood- red’
streaked an t veineb with light bull on the
ether. The flowers of this death dealing
beauty are even more beautiful than the
plant itself, being very large asd cup shaped
and of a color almost deatnly in Its white
ness. The name of the plant is from a char
acteristic of these splendid flowers, which !
beautiful though they are. continual y drip 1
with a deadly poison This poison, wn.ch is
distilled in tlm bottom of tho cup shaped
bdossom, has the sickening odor of chloro
form intensified a doren told, it being power
ful enough to overcome a full grown man in a
few seconds, even when inhaled in open air
The perfume, if such a pungent odor can
properly be so called, produces insensibility
in the fo-tn of convulsions, distorting the
fae; especially the mouth and eyes into
a horrid razy looking grin. Recovery from
the effects of inhaling this odor is said to be
vrv slow and to be followed with violent
h-adiche. ringing In the ears, and sometimes
partial or total deafness If the edit ir of

Prof. Johnson of Yale College

the tendency to change and
taint, which speedily renders a
large proportion of butter unfit
for human food.” Good butter
is desirable when fresh, but it
turns rancid very quickly.
