SENATORIAL HOBBIES.
Some of the Idiosyncrasies of ProuiI«
neat .Senator*.
Washington, March 16. — Frank
Carpenter has diseov.rd that nearly
every man in the Senate has a hobby.
He says that Senator Beck, of Ken
tacky, has (wo hobbies. One of
these is silver and the other is the
tarifi. No matter what subject bo
under discussion, Beck will drift
from it into either the tariff or sil
ver. His speech on the Dependent
Pension Bill the other day contained
half a dozen sentences, more or leas,
od pensions, and i ho rest was de
voted to tariff reform. This speech
has brought out from Wade Hump
ton a story, the nab of which is that
Beck was lately asked to make a
fuDeral oratiou over one of bis de
ceased friends, and that after the
fourth sentence he drifted into the
tailff and broke op the wake bv h e
interminable harangue.
Senator Blair can talk about noth
ing but his educational bill, and he
eats drinks and thinks education and
sleeps with a commissioner’s report
under his pillow. Sherman’s hobby
is finance and he has ridden it to
some purpose, Colquitt's is temper
ance, and Wilson, of Iowa, is astride
of the Prohibition horse, and he bo
lievesthat there will be a Prohibition
President of the United States by
and l>y.
Senator Stewart’s hobby is silver.
Riddleberger’s hobby is the abolish
ing of executive sessions, and Mat
Ransom's hobby is North Carolina
and the whiteness of his cuffs. Tom
Palmei’s bobbies are many. The
chief of them arc the percheron
horse, the Jersej cow and Marcus
Aurelius Antoninuv, the old Roman
Emperor. George Gray’s is the
law. He would rather practice at
the bar than before the Senate.
Arthur P. Gorman’s hobby is poli
tics, allied to the theory that to the
victors belong the spoils. Senator
Brown has a very good hobby in the
Baptist church, of which he is one
of the pillars, and Jonathan Chase,
the Quaker, rides the tariff hobby
Lorre quite frequently
Senator Cockrell’s hobby is com
mittee work, and be grinds away
like a horse in a tread mill, and ac
cepts all the work that the others
put npon him. Cullom’s hobby has
been interstate commerce. It is now
the postal telegraph, and his resem
bianco to Lincoln, I am told, pleases
him. Hoar, of Massachusetts, has a
number of bobbies, and amoDg tbem
aro American history and biblo
graphy. Kenna, of W’est Virgins,
has a hobby in amatuer photography
McPherson, of New Jersey, has a
hobby in fine stock. Edmunds’ hob
by is parliamentary law and the rules
of the Senate, and Jonn J. Ingalls’
hobby is the finding out^ of new
words for his ideas. Allison’s hobby
is diplomacy. Tim Bowen’s bobby
begins with P, and T leaves the
reader to guess whether it is poker
or politics. Frank Hiscock’s bob
by is the interstate commerce and
Liland Stanford’s bobby is the breed
ing and raising of fast trotting
horsen.

FREIGHT RATES.
What Griffin Has Asked and Will Pro¬
bably Get,
Griffin has been hampered for a
long time by freight rates out of
all proportion to what was charged
to Atlauta on one side and Macon
on the other. Wfcile the merchants,
in spite of this, sold as loiv as eitb
er of these places, it left a very
small margin of profit. It ii very
natural, therefore, that attempts
should be made from time to time
to secure belter rates. It is believ
ed that this has at last been accom
plished by a number of conferences
recently held between representative
business man of Griffin and officials
of the Central railroad.
Recognizing that as yet thir can
hardly be considered as important a
point, so far as freights are concern
ed, as either Atlanta or Micon, Grif
fin has been very modest in her de
mands. All that has been asked for
is the same rates as Atlanta gets
from the East (via Savannah) and
the same as Macon from the West;
in other words, that freights carried
through Griffin shall not pay less
than freights slopping here. From
information received the last two
days, it appears that this will be
granted as soon as the gecessary
details are perfected between the
Central and the Georgia Midland
This will prove one of the biggest
points scored by Griffin for years.
On corn and meat it will be a gain
of 11 cents a hundred, the present
rate from Chattanooga to Macon be
ing 38 cents while it is 49 ceDts to
Gnfiio. On a car load this will be a
saving of abont $27 50. On sugais,
coffees, &c., from New York to At
lanta is about 50 cents, while to
Griffin it is 62 cents, there beiDg al
ways a difference of at least 10 centr.
It i* estimated that the new rates
will effect a saving on tho 500 cur
loads received here in one year, of
$10,000. On dry goods the rates are
much higher and the saving will be
proportionate, though it is uot to
easy to figure the aggregate. It is
sale to say, however, that the total
saving in dry goods and groceries
will am mnt to at least $*25,000 a
year—-a very tidy little sum for
Griffin (o save. And she is enti¬
tled to all ol it.
