In view of lie fact Unit Mr. Cleveland
will for n year at least lie at tho mercy of
Sliermnn, Logan, and Edmunds, would it
not be well to have Mr. Pasteur coma over
and inoculate him with hia anti-hydrophobia
vims?
As to the attitude of the President and
silver coinage, the Atlanta Conatitntion ob
serves: "Wo shall offer no captions objec
tions if his views prevail.” Happy Mr.
Cleveland! Tho suspension will immedi
ately proceod.
An "Injianny" statesman proposes in
case of the death of the President, that
the “grand army of the Republic" fill the
vacancy. The grond army of tramps, sut
lers, wagon drivers and bounty junipers
have been making Presidents for the last
twenty years.
h'ur.nvan Lint desires to bo a strictly
business governor, and wants no demonstra
tion over his inangnralion on January 1st
Virginians will therefore try to express their
joy over Mahano'a downfall, on Christmas
day, by "blowing of the trumpets and a beat
ing of the drums.”
Hr some mistake Mr. Garland appointed
Ben Hill, in place of Charley, district attor
ney. By close spplieatlon and strict atton
(ion to business Ben msy be able to get
along with the dntio of tho office. But to
his always previousness ha has added pro-
turbcanco on the now political issue, pro
hibition. If the administration has not de
cided to take a hand in the business the At
torney General might remind this yonng
and seolons nisei pie of John Peter St. John
that a dead deputy marshul lies in a moun
tain gorge.
To oivr tho administration a Senate that
it can rely on, tho Dumocnitancxt fall muat
elect majorities in tho Legislatures of four
teen of the twenty-five State,
where Senatorial vacancies will oc
cur. In that event tho Sente wonld
aland: Democrats, 3i); Republicans, 37.
The question is now resolved to the single
issue whether tho administration will have a
hostile Senate behind it for one-half of its
full term. The leading politicians do not
hesitate to say that tho President is the vi
tal factor in scouring a Democratic Senate.
Tub Chicago Herald think, that “General
Lcgau's book will he a modest little effort.
It will trace the rise snd fall of human gov-
irauiinls, explain the theory of tho sur
vival of tho fittest, elucidate the doc
trine of evolution, deal with the mighty
forces which resulted in tho establishment
of tbs American liepnblio' and draw sable
the veil of the future in order to reveal to
people now on oartb the probable condition
of jvoaterity. Tho General bos been prepar
ing himself for this groat work ever since
lost year, and it U bound.to strike twelve at
the tint dip.”
IIm* is tho history of an avomgo Senato
rial career: "Senator Edmunds baa built
him a new residence. He keeps four horses
in his stable. Hr liven quietly but expen
sively, and is reputed to bo worth half e
million dollars. He is- now neering the
close of bis third term as a United States
Senator. When ho flnt entered the chain
ber he was woitb a good deal leas than
$70,000. He has had a salary of $->,000 per
year ainee ho has been there, and nolmdy
accuses him of doing much law business.
Half a million dollars! Behind that aum
what Kfcr.it. lark! And yet Edmonds is
poorer than scores of others who went into
the Senate chamber with nothing.
The Exodus of the Au-ligm.
lint a few days since a United States dep
uty marshal, who was thus adding to the
fees of n sheriff, was reported to have
been killed as he was dragging a little
'noomdiiner through a mountain pass,
down on tho Tennessee line. Later reporls
aro conflicting ns to whether tho killing
took place in Alnbama, Tennessee or Geor
gia. It is wrong to kill deputy marshals or
any one else, withont good and sufficient
cause, but so long os tho government keeps
np an excise system, whereby the rich dis
tiller may refuse to pay his taxes, snd may
eventually swindle the treasury out of mil
lions, so long will popular sympathy linger
about the. moonshiner of the mountains,
who biles his toddy in tho sntne wash pot
in which (ho hominy is cooked for his wife
and little ones.
The slayer in this instance shonld bo ar
rested and tried according to tho forms of
law. If guilty he should he punished.
But is this likely to bo done? The Atlanta
Constitution, after describing tho hard
specimens in the way of a posse to bo sent
out to arrest him, says:
They go for revenge.
They wlU get It.
Why should these men bo sent out for
revenge? The law has no revenges. It
only accords punishments. Vengeance ia
supposed to belong to a higher power than
a deputy united States marshal. How is
this revenge to be gratified? By killing in
nocent men, arresting other innocent men,
burning the humble homes of mountaineers
and making fugitives of their wives and
children?
If this notification shall go ont before the
avenging squad, perhaps from crags and
fastnesses the sharp cracks of squirrel
rifles may ho heard, wielded by men who
feel that they aro called upon to fight for
everything dear to them.
If the love of sensationolism has caused
the Constitution to attempt to croato some
thing out of nothing, Collector Crenshaw
should have tho facts immediately made
public. If a squad of ruffians and outlaws
are to sally forth to murder and tiro for re
venge, under the protection of the United
States marshals office, possibly the Attor
ney-General might be stirred to take stops
to countermand the expedition. A
Skmatob Haunt, has gathered hi* views
together concerning a Federal railroad
commission. He says: "I would allow all
common carriers to fix their own rotes, but
require them to publish by posting them,
and under hoary penalties require a strict
adherence to them until changed after due
sad proper notice of aueh intended change.
I would create a commission, which abouhl
lie composed of the ablest men in thoooun
try, in which agriculture, commerce, rail
roads, carriers by water and the legal pro
fession should lie represented, and make it
the duty of the commission to hear nnd
thoroughly investigate oil complaint, and
report oouciusiotu to the party complain
ing, tho party complained of, and to the
government; and if the conclusion is ad
verse to the party complained of, and sack
party shall fail or rtfusa to porform the
judgment of the oommiavion, make it the
duty of the commission to report the oase
to tho United flutes district attorney of the
proper district, who shall institute judicial
proceedings to aatoree the judgment of the
commission, and mike the finding of facts
by the commission prima/dei* evidence of
their tenth.”

Innocence in tbs I'resence of 2’ertl.
Jnst now Jlr. I’nstonr, of Paris, is the
moet observed man of the world. Where
one man will read tho message of the chief
magistrate of the most powerful country,
the threats of Bismark, nnd the election
returns of England, thousands, we might
truthfully say millions, will read of the
daily doings and sayings of the French
chemist—for he is not even a physician nor
surgeon.
Universal attention has been attraeted to

impervious for some time to the bites of
rabid animals.
Day by day people of all ages, sexes and
conditions flock to him from all over Eu
rope, and America is about to make an
uique contribution. Some days since,
three children of Newark, N. J., were bit
ten by a mad dog. Immediately the move
ment was started to raise a puma and send
the children to M. Pasteur, who cabled
thut be would receive and treat them. Tho
necessary funds have bean raised, and the
little children are flying aoross the ocean for
relief from certain death, accompanied by
the prayers of all good poople.
This incident, preceding tho start of this
momentous journey, will but add interest
to it. The New Vork Herald taya:
Since Thurada; Eddie's entire attention baa been
occupied In carefully nursing bla lacerated rlgtit
arm And dreaming of vtalona of hie Bnt pair of
tniusera. A Arm of Newark ctotblen offered to

Wx find tin. comment in the Atlanta
Constitution: "A Luke Erie town tarred and
feathered a Toledo reporter who slandered
the people. The reporter now waota $25,
QUO dam ogee. It wonld have been cheaper
to have killed him.” We reepectfuily sug
gest that the Conatitntion is painting ont a
dangerous method. Suppose Wales Wyn
ton, the Constitution's late Macon corres
pondent, who so foully slandered the peo
ple in the Conatitntion'! columns, had not
run away, would it have been cheaper to
have killed him rather than defend snitt
that might be brought because tar and
toothers bod mercifully been applied in
stead?
despondent; if the heel of the session finds
them and their cases in an unsettled condi
tion, (hey grow anxious nnd desperate, and
tvbcn the last day arrives, and the House
adjourns sine die, with nothing done with
their claims, thoy look so perfectly wretch
ed and crestfallen that tho most unfeeling
of humanity can not help but pity them,
even if it is known that their claims were
not right and just. But many of these
poor people have good nnd jast claims
against the government, nnd it is discredit
able to Congress that they aro not al
lowed and paid. This is too great
and too libera! a government to refnso to
pay rightful claimants just because there is
uolatvto enforce collection. Theso just
claimants, however, will never receive relief
and justice from the government under
the present liquidation of claims by Con
gress. Their remedy is in a United States
Court of Claims, composed of three fair
and legal-minded gentlemen. Until this is
done, year after year will these poor people
drag their life away working up their claims
in Congress 'without success. Many of
them have already died while their claims
were pending, and inapy more will die be
fore justice is done for them."

A PRAIRIE FIRE.
The Thrilling Experience of. rv Clev.-laml
Blau on tits l'lalne ofTexns.
Cleveland Herald.
A prairie on fire is sight seldom seen by
jieopie nt the present time. Jlr. B. 1‘.
Gardner, of the county auditor’s office,
tells of a thrilling experienco he had not
long ago while hunting on the plains of
Texas.
•‘We left tlio railroad and journeyed into
the interior of the great State on horse
back," said Jlr. Gardner, “with tho tall
waving grass on every side as far as the
eye could reach. We saw evidence of small
11 rot from time to timo, but we bad
inado up up onr minds that we ace none
of the fiery element itself. One Sunday
we stopped for tho day at a point about
500 milea from any railroad. We pro
ceeded to make ourselves comfortable for
the day, for wo were tired and we intchded
to take a good rest. After breakfast wo nnd a son, aro at school at Worthing, in
stretched ourselves out on our blankets * England.
itk the ponies tied n short distance away,
and were taking it as easy as we could. All
at once we heard a terrible noise
like distant thunder, nnd jumping
np we saw a sight we shall never
forget. The prairie was on fire. For
miles and miles, as far os wo could see, the
Annies shot up in the air with a'deafening
roar. The wind was blowing fresh und the
fire was coming toward us with the swift
ness of n railroad train. Looking in the
opposite direction from the fire there was
nothing to bo seen but grass, grass, grass.
‘‘There was no way of escape. Thu roar
of the fire became loader ami loader every
minute. Birds wentscrenminghy, terrified
by the sight and sound, nnd utmost every
kind of game a person could think of went
veil uell past ns, screaming, hooting, bnrk-
og and screeching, curin-'^for nothing but
to get ont of tho way of the fire, which was
chasing them at a rapid rate, althoagh it
was yet many miles away. Onr old
guide, who had been around tho prairies
all his life, was frightened, much to my
surprise. He cast his eye npon the fire
nnd then nwny upon the waving sea of
grass beyond, and told ns we mnst mount
our ponies quickly and ride nwny before
ho fire aa fnst as we could. There was a
trail nbout ten miles away, ho said, and
when we reached that wo would be all
right. We mounted onr ponies, bnt I
knew well cnonglf we conld not go five
miles before the fire would catch ns. Tl-u
roaring increased, and it began to get
warm. Birds und animals rushed by us
more frau'ic than over. An idea struck
me. Jumping from my pony I rushed
out into the tall grass several hundred feet
nnd started a fire. It wont with a whirl and
in a minute or two a space of 300 or 4U0
acres hnd been burned Wo worked with
will and soon hod onr ponies and effects
in the middle of tho bare spot. It was nono
too soon, for looking in tho direction of the
fire I saw it port nt the point where we had
stood a few minutes before, and then it
went by ns with n terrific roar. It was ter
ribly smoky and hot, but we were not
burned to death, as wo would have been if
we had followed tho old guide.”

Seized for Cnstoma—A IMrtnr© With an
Kvclltfut History.
Chicago Special.
A somowhat startling seizure was mode
at tbo Calumet Clnb to-day by Inspector
Crowley, of tbo custom boose. Ono of
Raphael's original oil paintings called “The
Virgin and the Book, owned and imported
by JL Keillor, of Paris, which was exhibited
nt the recent art loan, yeas seized because
the duty was not paid. As the value
of tho painting is said to be
over $10,000 and tbo dnty on snch goods
is 3U por cent, tho seizure is no,
Binall one, and hut caused qnito aii
excitement among tho dub members.
Reiffer, prior to 18X3, resided at 13 Boule
vard, Jlaloshcrbes, Paris, where bo wus in
the art business. He says .that in 1882 a
priest came to bis pi tee with a man named
Jlonasco, who brought a letter of introduc
tion front a prominent merchant Jlonasco
said he bail a Raphael worth $I50,OUO, and
naked Keiffcr to take charge of it for gale.
The latter did so, but conld find no pur
chaser at the price demanded. When he re
ceived it from Monosco be gave the latter
four pictures valued at $8,U1X).
Some timo afterwards Jlonasco made a
demand for his Raphael. Kciffer refused
unless his four paintings or their equiva
lent were returned to him. The priest then
came to him in tears and declared that the
picture had been stolen from the Vatican
and mnst be returned at nil hazards. He
also said that Keiffo.’s pictures bod been
stolen. Keiffer still refused to surrender
even when the priest said be could soli it
fora large sum to the King of Spain.
Finally tho case was taken into court on
a replevin suit, snd six months was granted
to the priest and Monosea to return tho
Keiffer pictures. They failed to do so, and
Keiffer, failing in business, cams to thia
country November 8, 1883. Ho had ten
pieces of baggage containing the Raphael-
lie and fifteen water colors, snd claims hia
baggage was not searched and no entries
wore made Ho settled for a time
in Waterloo, la., where bis brother
stole the pictnre aud was ea route to New
York when arrested, Keiffer then came to
Chicago and has sines bod tho picture in
his possession. The enstom authorities
have for a long timo known that it was in
the country, but could not locato it. The
panel upon which the pictnre is painted is
two feet long and one foot wide. On the
back are certificates and souls of various
popes and directors of continental muse
um*, dating back to 1483; oho a Latin
pamphlet, with the pope's seal, giving its
h-story and all tbeao are affixed to tha back
of the pictnre and attest its genuineness.
Keiffer says he has beau offered $5U,OUO for
the picture but ruta-ed it. Acoordine to
the law it will now be sold to tha hi 'best
bidder.
