Manufacturing Statleiivr. UMAwtm GRIFFIN GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH *20 1888 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.

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.
