According to the newspaper pictures
of Judge Bradley, who is presiding over
the Breokinridge-Pollard case, in Wash
ington. he parts his hair in the middle

Breckinridge, but the judge is merely

Col. J. Hampton Hoge made a mistake
■when he went into the republican camp
after having been turned down by tho
democrats. He should have gone to the

Hoge would have found a cordial welcome.
Congress worked right through Wash
ington's birthday, and so the House will
work through St. Patricks day. The
Senate has adjourned until Monday, but
it was in accordance with its custom, and
not to celebrate to-day. Those impulsive
people who are operating throughout the
northwest under tho auspices of the
“American Protective Association,” will
not, therefore, be able to make any capi
tal out of the Senate's taking to day off.

to the mastership of the Masonic grand
lodge of the stale of Georgia. Mr. Shan

most astute in his section of the
and envoys a large and lu, rative practice
The fact that he was elected to the first
place in the line of the successorship to
the head of Masonry in the state is evi
dence of his Masonic standing and en
thusiasm for the craft. He is a worthy
successor to an honored and beloved
master.
Ex-President Harrison has copyrighted
the lectures on international law lie will
deliver before the law classes at Stanford
university, and will publish and sell them.
Therefore he objects to the newspapers
publishing full reports of thorn. H ■ pre
pares short synopses of them for the
newspapers and will not permit newspa
per men in his lecture room except under
solemn twmise that they will not publish
more than they havo his permission to
publish. A reporter for a Han Francisco
paper, however, broke his promise after
the first lecture, and tho ex-president is
very indignant about it. Aud he has a
right to be.
Gov. Waite’s War.
The people of Colorado are just begin
ning to realize how great a crank they
have as their chief executive. Cov.
Waite startled the couutry by his blood
thirsty talk when -congress repealed the
purchasing clause of the Sherman silver
law. and more recently he made himself
ridiculous by calling the legislature to
gether to authorize the coinage of silver
dollars by the state. He is warlike and
blood thirsty, and his act in calling out
the militia of the wtioie stateon Thursday
to enforce his authority in rs|>oet to a
few municipal offices in the city of Denver
justifies the suspicion that he is more fit
for the lunatic asylum than thegovernor's
office.
If it had not been for the timely arrival
in Denver of United States troops on
Thursday, it is probable that a number of
lives would have been lost, because the
governor is so bent on war that he would
have ordered the militia to fire on those
who were opposing his orders.
From our dispatches it appears the gov
ernor refused to be restrained by an in
junction that had been issued by a court
of competent jurisdiction. The restrain
ing order prohibited him from removing
certain members of the police board until ,
an adjustment could be had of the issue j
that had been raised. He rufused to i
respect the injunction, because, as lie al- j
leged. the .same issue had already been
decided in his favor by the highest \
court in the state.
It may be that the governor has the
right to change the police board, and the i
firemen's board and ail other similar or- I
gani/ations of the state as often as he j
pleases and that the supreme court has !
decided he has that right, but admitting
all he claims he clearly had no right to
disregard an order of court He should
have had the restraining order set aside
either by the court which issued it or by
a higher court, if there were no good
grounds for it. His example in disre
garded the law, treating it with the ut
most contempt, will hardly have a good
effect. Being the cnief citizen of the
state he should be particularly careful to
obey the law.
Kven tho populists will be glad to be rid
of Oov. Waite. He lias shown himself to
be utterly unfit to discharge the duties
of his position. He acts and talks more
like an insane man than a man holding a
great political office.
Rosebery’s Ministry.
It does not look as if Rosebery's minis
try would be a Song one. His remarkaole
statement a day’ or two ago that home
rule for Ireland depends upon a majority
of the English voters may lose him the
support of the Irish members of parlia
ment. The government's ma.ority is
small—only’ about 8$ and the number of
Irish mem tiers is eighty-one. And the
followers of Labouchere cannot be de
pended upon to support the government.
They number about nine.
In commenting upon Rosebery’s speech
in the commons the other day, in which
he declared that home rule would have a
prominent place in the programme of the
liberals, the Morning News said
that home rule was a long way
in the future. This statement of
Rosebery’s, that a majority sentiment
in England is necessary to secure home
rule is so directly opposed to the position
occupied by Gladstone, who held that a
majority of all the voters who voted for
members of parliament was sufficient,
that it does not seem likely that the gov
ernment cau hold its majority, or that
another home rule bill will tie passed by
the House of Commons very soon.
It is true that the liberal papers are ex
plaining that Rosebery's statement was
not understood, and that he meant that
the House of Lords would not consent to
home rule until it had the support of a
majority of the English voters, but if lie
was misunderstood he has had plenty of
lime to set himself right.
It is evident that the Irish members
will not support his ministry unless he
supports home rule, and w ithout them he
•cannot pass any measure. The matter
about which they are chiefly concerned is
home rule, and it is reasonable to expect
they w ill support the party which will do
the most for Ireland. I'niess, therefore,
they get some very definite assurances
from Rosebery, it is probable that they
will break away from the Liberal party.
It is a difficult matter to hoid them to
gether in support of a policy which seems
to lx- for the benelit of Ireland. How
much more difficult will it bo to get their
undivided support for a home rule pulley
which is much less favorable than that of
Gladstone.
Electricity is to bo applied at once as a
motive power on the state canals of New
York. The state authorities have issued
a permit to the Cataract < ieneral Electric
Company to establish electric power
plants along the banks of the canals.
With this company is connected an auxil
iary company that will build canal boats
! equipped with electrical apparatus Both
j companies are subsidiary Vo the Niagara
j Falls Power Company, and the power to
1 be used on the canals will be generated at
I the great falls and distributed all the
way along to Albany. This proposed dis
tribution of power from the falls over so
great an area, and to such a distance from
the gf norating apparatus, is evidence that
the difficulties in the way of conveying
electrical energy over long distances has
been overcome, and promises a revolution
in the motive power of industries within
a reasonable distance of Niagara. It is'
worthy of note that W. K. Vanderbilt, .1 |
Picrcpont Morgan, I). o. Mills, August
Belmont, and other men of immense fort- i
'tines, are behind the Niagara Company,!
so that i will not lack for ample means to |
carry its undertakings to their legitimate !
conclusion.
It was a good thing for the Paris public,
both directly and Indirectly, that the dyn
amiter of the Medeiine succeeded only in
detsroying himself. As far as the mis- j
creant himself is concerned, he met with j
only retributive Justice. The manner of j
his death, however, may have a deterring I
effect upon other dynamiters who might
have been led to follow bis example had
his efforts at wholesale murder been suc
cessful.
The Philadelphia Ledger suggests that
as Uiehard Croker is about to become a
property owner in Texas, he may possibly
loom up as a i undidulc for the Senate to
succeed Senator Coke. Ihe l.edgt r's
suggestion, however, is not acceptable.
Texas has not yet adopted the Ohio plan
of sending citizens of other states to repre
sent her in the Senate.
THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, MARCH 17, iB!H.
Feeling H;j Oats. •*
Mr. Dole, the president of the provis
ional government of Hawaii, seems to
have an idea that he can coerce this gov
ernment into doing what he and his
friends would like to have done. He
knows that it is going to be a very diffi
cult undertaking to establish a republic
because the great majority of the people
are opposed to that form of govern
ment. To get a constitution adopted by a
popular majority it would be necessary to
deny the right of suffrage to nearly all
the native Hawaiians. Such a limitation
of the suffrage might be productive of
I trouble.
What President Dole and his friends
| desire is annexation to the United States.
.;nd since reading the report of the Sen
ate committee on foreign relations that
was prepared by Senator Morgan, they
are strengthened in the belief that they
will get what they want.
In order to impress .upon our govern
ment the importance of acting promptly
in respect to Hawaii. President Dole is
now threatening to deprive this country
of Pearl harbor. This harbor is of espe
cial importance to our shipping interests
on the Pacific coast and to our navy, be
cause it is used as a coaling station.
It seems to be a fact that the treaty by
wh; h we hold Pearl harbor is only a
temporary one and can be abrogated by
Hawaii at any time after giving notice of
her purpose to do so. The announcement
of President Dole's inclination to annul
the treaty looks very much as if he
thought he eouid coerce this country into
favoring annexation.
President Dole appears to be in a great
hurry to have this country help Hawaii
out her difficulties, but he has not taken
the right course to accomplish his object.
Until he has better authority than he has
at present it is hardly probable that he
will venture to exclude our ships from
Pearl harbor or even to make a transfer
of the harbor to a European country.
President Dole is beginning to talk like
a high and mighty ruler of a great Empire
instead of the President of a government
of questionable legality and of a people
who number less than 100.000. His
government is a rather uncertain affair
yet awhile, and if he is wise he will show
a proper appreciation of his real situation.
Free Ships.
There are good reasons for believing
that if the protection afforded to Ameri
can shipbuilders were removed American
genius and American enterprise would
soon be e<)ual to the new situation that
would be brought about, and this country
would compete successfully with England
in shipbuilding. It certainly would not
be long before the American carrying
trade would be done in ships carrying the
American Hag.
In an article published in the Mooning
News a few days ago, it was shown that
nearly the whole of the foreign commerce
of this country is carried on under the
hags of foreign countries The money
thus lost to this country amounts to many
millions of dollars annually, and yet we
can build better and swifter steamers
than the English.
A few years ago. comparatively, the
office of the United States shipping eom
missioner at this port paid $B,OOO a year.
Now it pays about $BOO. The income is
derived from American vessels engaged
in foreign commerce. The decrease in
the income of that office shows how
greatly American tonnage engaged in for
eign trade has fallen off in the last fifteen
years. In that period, however, the ton
nage of this port has more than doubled-
It is a rare thing now to see the stars
and stripes on a square-rigged vessel or a
foreign bound steamer. Th > trade be
tween Savannah and the West Indies and
Central America is carried on in steam
ships owned in Norway. Is it not time
that attention should be given to the in
terests of American commerce, American
ports and to the vast majority of the
people of the country ? Why should these
great interests suffer in order that a
few hundred shipbuilders in New Eng
land may reap greater benefits?
Two brothers engaged in business in
New York are in doubt as to their family
name. They were born Rosinsky, in
Russia, but for business reasons, applied
to Judge Pryor, of the common pleas
court in New York, for permission to
change their name to Rose. Judge Pryor
refused the request. The brothers’
lawyer then took the matter before Judge
1* itzsimninns, of the city court, and lie
unhesitatingly granted the permission
they sought, notwithstanding Judge
Pryor's refusal. Later, when the news
papers began to jump on him for disre
garding the act of a court higher than his.
Judge Fitzsimmons sent for the papers in
the cate, announced that he had been
tricked by the lawyer for the brothers
and changed their name back again from
Rose to Rosinsky. The brothers do not
know whether their name is still a football
for the courts, whether they will be per
mitted to take the name they whnt, or
whether they must put up with one
that suits the courts and doesn't suit
them.
According to our dispatches of yester
day England is going to spend $86,000,000
for war ships during the current year.
According to the dispatches of the day

anything for war ships this year, but will j

In the native quarters of the towns of India
the strange spectacle may te seen of a butcher
seizing a piece of meat in his hands and cut
ting it in two with a strok.* of his knife
! etween the ttrstarxl third of his foot
says Hearson * vVeekly. The shoemaker uses
no last, but turns the unilnished shoe with
. s feet while his hands are busy in shaping
So the c-arpent r lioids with his threat toe
ihe board he is eutt ng. and the wood turner
handles his too .< as well with his toes as wi'h
his hngers i his use of the feet to assist the
n mds id their labor is not. however, the mere
P , a ;i lcc i, r i u ‘ ls principally due to
-he fa. t that the Hindoo foot is quite differ
tut from ours in its anatomical conformation,
ine angle of the Hindoo, and the articulation
o: the tack of the fcot permit considerable
lateral motion. 1 hen the toes possess a sur
prising mobility. The great toe can be moved
freely in all directions and the first and second
toes are separated by a wide space, some
times as much as live eights of an inch across
at the base of the toes and two inches at
their extremities. The articulation of the hip
is also peculiar, and this renders it easier to
use the toes in handling the objects by bd..-
. ling tbe H ndoo to sit in a squatting posture
u u h liioi-e comfortably than we can do A
similar formation of the feet and toes is found
amon y the Annamese, hut it is not, as might
: e supposed a common thing among barba
rous and savage tribes. One naturally thinks
of the resemblance to a monkey which a hu
man being using noth feet and hands in the
manner described above must present, and
vet M, Regnault is careful to point out the
fact that the Hindoo foot is not at ail like the
foot of the ape or monkey. The great toe is
not opposed to the other toes like a thumb
as occurs with the monkey, aad accordingly’
the pedal .dexterity of the Hindoos is not to
he taken us an indication of similar de
scent.
So aggressive is the plakat. a little fish
from Siam, that the entertainment it affords
has become a national pastime, but not a
very creditable one. to say the least. The
fishes are trained to go through regular bat
tles, and are reared arrlnciailv for the pur
pose while the license to exhibit to the gen
eral public is farmed out. and brings a large
amount of money into the rovai coffers. Savs
an English weekly: They arc kept in aquar
iums built for the purpose and fed upon the
larvae of mosquitoes, and every possible t-aie
taken ol them. Several years ago a few- of
them were presented to an English gentle
man by the King of Siam. When the ilsh is
in a quiet state, with the fins a; rest, the dull
colors are not at all remarkable But if two
are brought together or within sigh: of each
other, or even one sees its own image in a
looking glass, the little creature becomes sud
denly excited. The fins are raised aad tho
whole body shines with metallic luster
and colors of dazzling beauty
while the projecting gill membrane'
waving like a black frill round the throat'
makes grotesque the gene'al appearance In
this state of irritation it makes repeated
darts at its real or reflected antagonist. If
now. two are placed together in a lank they
rush at each other with the utmost fury The
battle is kept on until one is kilie 1 or put io
flight, but not until they are entirely separ
ated does the victor shut his gaudy tins, :hat.
like flags of nvar. are never lowered until
peace has :,een and ‘dared. In South America
then- is a small fish that not oniv atta ks its
fellows of the sea and river, but is greatly
drcided by the native, who. during certain
seasons, have to ford the streams in whuh
the carbitos is found. Ba hers are often at
tacked by them, the sharp, chisel shaped
teeth taking a bile from the flesh wherever
they attack. Ihcy are perfect scavengers
eating the animals that float down the river
dead or alive.
Most of the tops that boys spin are made in
Pennsylvania, says the New York Sun. In
one Pennsylvania town there is a factory
that employs more than 230 hands making
tops. Tops are made of boxwood, maple and
lignum vitae. Taking all kinds of tops to
gether. a larger number of maple are sold
than of either of the other woods; Ikxwood
comes next, and next lignum vitae: but In the
aggregate amount of the sales of each kind
the ) oxwood tops are first, the maple next
and th lignum vitaee last. Not many lignum
vitae tops ate sold, on account of tlieir cost
’lhe lignum vitae tops are sold more in the
southand in the northwest than in other parts
of the country. It may be of interest to not"
that most of the iron pegs used in peg tops
are cast in Newark, N. J. A top lhat is
made especially for New- York city is known
as the Jersey Lily; It has now been in use
three years. The poeuliar.tv of the Jersey
Lily Is that It has no head ; it is supposed
to he possible to get a better hold of
such a top and to he easier to hit such a top
m a ring. The sale of the Jersey Lily Is in
creasing. One wholesale dealer in this city
sells l.uOOgross of Jersey Lilies in a vear
Counting the sales of other dealers it is
probable that more than 2.000 gross of tops of
this Style arc si Id In this city annually. The
sale of the Jersey Lily Is still practically con
fined to New York city, but substantially all
Lie other peg tops manufactured are now
made as they have been for the past three v
four years, with removable hea.s. the head
fitting mto a little socke turned in the top to
receive it. It costs a little more to make a
top tn this way, but the cost to the consumer
remains unchanged Hoys all over the
United States spin stops and they all spin
them at th” same time in the spring- the
only difference being that the season i egins a
little earlier in the south and is a little
shorter there In the past three nr four
years there h is been a movement in this citv
toward a fall season of ton spinding but it
has oeen confined thus far to the east side
and has teen mainly among Jewish children.’
