The Situation In New York.
The New York World will bo consid
ered Democratic authority as to New
York. The editor of that journal went
to Chicago an enthusiastic Cleveland
man, and lie was the energetic cham
pion of Mr. Cleveland daring the entire
campaign. The World was recognized
as the special organ of the Democracy,
and its tireless fight on the tariff issue
did more to satisly the doubters on this
point than any other jsurnal.
In consideration of the work of Mr.
Pulitzer, he was nominated and elected
to Congress from one of the districts in
New York City, by a large majority,
witli a view of securing his support to
the administration when it should he
installed. Under these circumstances,
El ' T * the World may be taken as a good wit
ness as to the present condition of
afl'airs in that State. In answer to a
correspondent, the World makes this
reply:
Undoubtedly Mr. Cleveland's policy up to
this time baa given more comfort to Mug
wump. than to Hickory Democrats. But tue
President undoubtedly meant well. He la
hampered by existing laws and la confronted
by a boattle Eepubltcan Senate. He la alio
somewhat inexperienced. Tbo election in
this State tn November will certainly be a teat
ot tbo strength ol bla administration. We
trust that tbe faction! here will bs harmonized
In duo time, and that tbe whole party will be
In a better mood by tbo lit ot November than
It ia to-day. It la tbe duty ot the parly, under
any clrcumatancea, to make a good State tick
et cud elect It. By no m
should Democrats bo persuaded
give tbe Republicans a "walk-over." Tbo
Democratic party and tbe principles It repre
■entaareol more consequence than Grover
Cleveland. To attempt to rebuke tbo admin
titration by surrendering New York to tbe Re
publican! would be a fatal mistake. Hr. Cleve
land's case will probably come up In tbe next
national Democratic convention.
The contest in Now York is to ho by
common consent, a test of the admin
istration, and yet when the election
comes off, the administration will have
done nothing, beyond the change of of
ficials in New York and other States,
It will have announced no definite pol
icy, nnd will not have measured
strength with a hostile Senate, or
met the complaints of its friends in the
lower house. It would seem that the
administration then will he at some
disadvantage. The more reason for
the faith and support of its friends. The
World doesn’t disguise the fact that tbo
present situation in New Y'ork is not
satisfactory, bat it is eminently correct
in the view that it cannot be bottered
by surrendering the State to the Repub
licans. Mr. Cleveland may hav
pleased the Mugwumps better than tiie
Democrats. This is unfortunate, but
this situation may hereafter be rc-
ersed.
Mr. Cleveland and -his friends will
surely support the Democratic nominee
for Govomor of Now York. It is by no
means assured that the Mugwumps will
do the same.
There is an intimation that Mr,
Cleveland’s case may come up in 1888,
His own declaration and that of his
friend, inslat that he will not go before
another Democratic convention.
Be this as it may. If he can unite tiie
Now York Democracy,if he can make it
certainly Democratic, and if New York
can for a second time in forty years
succeed In electing a Democratic Sena
tor, Mr. Cleveland need have no lean
to tbe verdict on his case in any con
vention.
S he Democratic administration is not
ought not to be above criticism, but
it should be afforded a full and fair trial
before it may be made the subject of
quarrel.

tant and necessary.
One of the arguments used in tbe
debate waa that Georgia should pre
vent the possibility of Goulds and
Vanderbilts in this State.
What are tiie facta? Vanderbilt in
herited much of hla wealth. Like Jay
Gould, he is a bold speculator in the
stock market. If their speculations
are successful they hny railroads, and
it is said they sometimes purchase Leg
islatures either by the retail or whole
sale. There are no Goulds or Vander
bilts in Georgia. Mr. Plant, of New
York, a wealthy man,bought a broken
down road and has built up a magnifi
cent system which is doing much for
Florida and Georgia.
John P. King, a very old man, has ac
cumulated a fortune of not large dimen
sions by the practice of law and judi
cious investments.
It. R. Cuyler was a man of moderate
wealth.
William M. Wadley, witli unpre
cedented opportunities, served hiB
employers and his State rather than
himself.
Charles Phinlzy laid the basis of his
success in commercial life.
Governor Brown does not owe his
fortune to railroads.
Capt. Baoul receives a salary for his
services that will not enable him to
become suddenly rich. The presidents
of other and smaller roads have not
become railroad kings. About tbe only
Georgian mentioned as having accu
mulated millions out of railroads is
Gordon, who resigned a Senatorship,
and who has recently been spoken of
by friendly presses as the next Gov
ernor of Georgia.
Georgia has not suffered by rea
son of railroads or railroad presi
dents. Her disasters and humil
iations may justly be charged to her
large and email politicians.

Let the Investigation be Thorough,
Mr. Uueacll, ol Decatur county, baa
bail the courage to move a legislative
inquiry into a matter that baa been long
bnibed up and kept qniet.
Ho was a member of tiie Legislature
that Impeached Comptroller-General
Goldsmith, and moved on tbe treas
urer and chiet keeper oi the peniten
tiary. Two thousand dollars
the money ot the people were appro
priated to have pnblished tbe full
proceeding! of tbe Goldsmith and Ken-
froe trials. Tbit has never keen done.
Perhaps tho attempt ot the Federal
administration to vindicate the parties
falling under the bon ol the Legislature
of 1871), may have suggested the in
quiry.
Be this as it may, there are other
matters connected with the Colquitt
administration that demand a search
ing investigation ami exposure.
It will not be forgotten that an at
tempt to look into the failure of Col
quitt to perform hii constitutional duty
u to pnrdons was successfully bluffed
off, by wbat means the pabUc is not
aware. Mr. Rut sell hu undertaken to
run a probe into a very soft and tender
place. If heeha'.l persist in the language
of Beecher, "there ore other hearts
that will ache.’’
In behalf of the honest people of
Georgia, it is to lie hoped that he can
not be frightened or cajoled from hts
purpose.
Tbe announcement la made in our
telegraphic columns that he hu been
appointed postmaster at Balnbridge.
If he shall accept this position, it will
be necessary for him to leave the Leg
islature. In tliat event the Investiga
tion he hu started ahonld pau into
hands of men, who will do their
fall duty in the premises.
The matter of the Cole oharter,
the pardon bnaineu of Colquitt and hts
election u Senator, still await tbe at
tention of some Legislator who hu
courage to perform a public dnty, and
who loves the good name of Georgia
and the righting the wrongs of her peo
ple over and beyond any hopes he may
hare ot political preferment.
D.n-h of Ceneral Crnnt. %
In the proper column may bo found
minute particulars of tbe last moments
of General Grant. Tbe prominent
events of his life are so familiar to all
reading people that anything in the
shape of a biography would he entirely
superfluous. Equally out of place
would be any attempt of a public jour
nal in this section to indulge in thren
ody. The country knows no section in
iti sympathy with tho stricken and
long-suffering man. Tiie hope will be
general that ho haa entered into an
eternal rest, and all will feel with his
family a melancholy satisfaction that
the end hu come.
Un account ot the exalted position lie
occupied tor eight years ns the Chief
Magistrate of the country, it will be in
order for the governmental depart
ments of the South to join in fitting
marks of respect to his memory.
If the people of the South have
no cause to Indulge in noisy lamenta
tions at the death of General Grant,
they have too fall a sense ot tiie appro
priateness of things to appeal to the
language of fulsome and hollow eulogy.
To the historian of Die future they
are content to leave hla name and
fame.
They will remember him u a stout
foe and a generous victor, whose arms
were never tamed upon helpleu women
and children, and whose plighted faith
u a soldier was kept in the face of tbe
demands of a maddened political fac
tion.
They can bat feel regret that the
fame won u a soldier wu dimmed u
a statesman, and do feel a profound
sorrow that his latter days were cloud
ed by a catastrophe In which they had
no share.
dust and i Urluat" Railroad Discrimina
tions.
Editori Telegraph and Metierger; The
question once settled as to what Is jait and
unjnet railroad discriminations half the
work and tbree-foartbs of the difficulties
of tbe State Railway Commission will be
removed, and tbe Legislature cen close
that part of tbe discussion with a statute
acknowledging tbe jnst end prohibiting
the "unjust." At first tbe distinction wus
not maae in tbe lulloga ot tbe commission
for want of thorough information on tbe
subject, and tbe wo d “onjust" was evi
dently applied wholly to me discrimina
tion- at competing stations on tbe rail
roads. Experience, bowevet, h.s taught
both the commission end people that this
was a istake. The most in
telligent among our railroad men
have subsequently defined the
various kinds of discrimination; so the!
it Is no longer dimeun to legislate upon
tbe tnbject. The discrimlnetion a' com
peting points, as on the Slate llue at Col-
ambus, Augusts, Chattahoochee and other
places, was found not only to be just,
but nereieary for tbe preservation of
Georgia rosdi against tbe competition of
nl roads in adjoining States; end thi#
dlscrlmi- stlon is now recognized by tne
commission, while It la reclared to be
“unjust" only when competitive freight Is
transported from these points at s cost -o
much below ihe tariff as to yield no profit
shore the cost nf transportation Com
petitive dlsciiminetlou, therefore, it ]u«t
.md proper, provided its istes do no',
amount to favoiitism bv falling below the
profits of local rates.
Other unjust discriminations are defined
to be; cbaiglog one person lees then an-
other for tbe eame service, and discrimi
nating between shippers ot diffeient quan-
titles oi tbe same article, except where tbe
difference in quantity prerents conditions
ol economy in transportation, at ke- weeu
a car load and lest than a cir losd, ora
full train at one ehloment. These belt g
unjust upon the testimony of railroad men
themselves, it cannot be difficult to prevent
them, and reasonable discrimination being
already recognized and alloyed by the
commission at comtetidre points with
railroads in other State-, the question of
discrimination wou'd seem to be settled at
between the comnihsion and the railroads,
end should be so understood by the peo-
ple.|
The fact admitted, however, d-stroys all
the force of the rule against "unjust dis
crimination against a locality," and re
stores the status of the railroads on this
subject before they were Interfered with by
the commission. After doing end undoing,
fixing end unfixing, rates for a long time
under tbe qrefiure of rai road necessity It
could not ignore, the comm lesion, whether
admitted or not, fouud that it could

to save tbe rellroads from ootside com; e-

Boston Transcript.
The youth had been patronizing the
ynnng ladies by vouchsafing^choice
bits of superior wisdom. "You re
member what Caesar said when he
waa about to cross the Rubicon?" said
the old gentleman. “Certainly,” re
plied the youth, with a careless glance
of pity at the young ladies,'Cwho, of
course, could not be expected to know
everything that a man knows. "And,
of course, you are equally familiar with
the life of Peter the Hermit?” contin
ued the old gentleman. “I should say
that I was, replied the young man
quickly, but not without u slightly
troubled look in his face “And Se-
mlramide,” the old gentleman went
on, "you recall his famous saying?’’
"Yes,” gasped the youth, wishing
that the old gentleman might be struck
with apoplexy as soon as convenient.
“I am glad yon remember it,” said
the old gentleman with animation,
"lor I’ve clean forgotten it. Now, if
you’ll be kind enough; and no doubt
the ladies would be glad to hear it
also.”
Tbo youth by this time wished that
the old gentleman had died in infancy,
and as for the ladies, he couldn’t help
thinking bow much better it would
have lii-cn had they never been horn.
“Bv the way,” pursued the old gentle
man, seeing the youth hesitated, "who
was Semiramlde? He bad something
to do with the lust Franco-Pruasian
war, hadn't ho?” “Yes, oh yes,” re
plied the youth, catching at the bait
with eagerness, while something like a
giggle was passed around among the
young ladies, as if it were a paper of
caramels. "And Peter the Hermit
was instrumental in bringing about a
peace at the close of that struggle?”
11 Yes.” The youth said this very
faintly. “But Caesar held out and
marched his shattered forces into tiie
Wallachain principality?’* “That’s
the way I remember it,” replid the
youth, with a desperation born ol de
spair. Then the old gentleman looked
at the young ladies, who were engaged
in stnifing tnsir mouths full of pocket-

Kansas City Times.
A most extraordinary aud dramatic
scene was enacted at St. Mary’s Church
yesterday morning. The disgraced
rector, with brazen effrontery and de
spite threats of violence, boldly donned
the sacerdotal robes, and to the out
rage of decency performed the sacred
rites of the church.
The audience, one of the largest ever
i i tho church since Jardine came to it,
and which included a number of well-
known young men of the efty, testified
their disapproval by stamping and de-
risivo shouts of laughter.
The crowd begun to assemble long
before tbe hour for service, and by 11
o’clock the church was filled to its ut
most capacity. The only ladies pres-
entwere a half-dozen female members
of his flock. Two or three policemen
had been stationed in the rear of the
church at the solicitation of the rector,
and the vestry were present in full
force, armed with revolvers, in antici
pation of a fray. Father Jardine had a
brace of revolvers strapped about hiB
waist underneath his priestly gown, de
termined to resist to the lost any at
tempt to remove him by force.

Chinatown waa much agitated yes
terday by the appearance of a genuine
belle from the Flowery Empire. Tho
great majority ot Chinese women who
odme to America are plebeians, with
feet remarkable for their Immense cubic
area. These refugees from the rice
fields of Asia are generally dressed in
plain black tunics, and depend solely
on the decoration of their lisir to make
them attractive. The belle who sought
the Federal courts yesterday iu hopes
of being permitted to remain on Amer
ican soil, was dressed according tn the
most recent Chinese fashion plates.
Her lmir was rolled end plastered into
indescribable folds and plaits, her tu
nic wu herculean, with bright Vermil
lion trimmings, and her lower garment
dark blue, with embroidered figures,
and so ample that it looked more like
a petticoat than the typical trousers of
the famalu coolie, the dress being so
low that nothing wu visible bat the
shoes, with thick felt soles, and the
points of two heels u high and pointed
u any worn by French Del lee of tbe
put century.
The q nearly attired woman wu
many enedes lighter in complexion
than the Chinese females that are seen
every day on the streets. The come
liness ol her face was set off to better
advantage by contrast with the two
dark-skinned female attendants on
whom she leaned, the unnatural
smallness of her feet making it an im
possibility for her to walk unaided.She
was far shove the height of the average
Chineee woman, and wonld have been
reckoned tall among Americans. Her
face indicated superior intelligence,
and the manner in which tbe groans of
male Chinese loungers dropped their
habitual stolidity and gaped after her
showed that she wss a woman of mark
in the Chines* community. She gave
tbe name of Lo Ah Qualn, and furnish
ed bonds In the snm of (1,500 to ap

Court to prove her right to become

quick, out of that case on theburean »
at tiie conclusion of which Jardine
came out of the sacristy clad in priest
ly vestments and proceeded with the
service. At his appearance Mr. Jo
seph Sherlock, who was in tho rear of
the church, wu beard to exclaim audi
bly. "Tho devil is now bowing before
the altar.” The audience remained
perfectly quiet until in repeating the
decalogue he read the seventh com
mandment “Thou sbalt not commit
adultery,” when he was greeted with
a storm of derisive laughter, stamping
of feet, and cries of "Rats.” "Rats.”
He was evidently prepared for this
outburst, which lasted several minutes
as the only effect it produced on him
waa to cause the lines about his mouth
to deepen and his naturally pale face to
;row paler. As soon as quiet had been
n a measure restored he proceeded In
a firm voice and with a peculiar empha
sis to read: "Thou shaft not bear false
witness.” Tills did not have the effect
lie intended and was received with
hisses. The commandment, “Thou"
shall not covet thy neighbor’s wife,”
called for thunderous applause, which
exceeded in violence the demonstration
which had preceded it. The rest ot the
service pasW off without interruption
until ho began preaching.
All through the sermon the speaker
was constantly interrupted by stamp
ing and shouting, the exhibitions of
disapproval heim tbe most pronounc
ed where he i. mounced those who
believed him guilty as ignorant, preju
diced louts, and when he posed as
martyr, in a good canse.
Thus ended one ot tiie most extraor
dinary scenes ever witnessed in. any
church. It was an exhibition of the
indignation which exists in Kansas
City against tbe polluted priest—an
indignation which may be differently
expressed by other people, but which
is so deeply felt that it cannot be re
strained. A remarkable incident of yes
terday’s demonstration is tho fact that
although several policemen were pres
ent at the solicitation ot Jardine, not a
single effort was made by them to pre
vent the occurrence of a disturbance,
which in any other church would have
subjected the participants to a speedy
arrest and prosecution.
In the evening there was a similar
disturbance. After tbe benediction was
pronounced the crowd still loitered
about the church. Homebody cried
out: “He’s in the spsukistry,” and the
people rushed to the sacred spot.
Hundreds ol men gathered there, curi
ously gazing at tbe modest building.
Tho police were in aud among them,
but they fonnd no intimation ol vio
lence.
As soon ns Jardine had doffed his
robes ho reappeared in the church im
mediately in frontof the chancel,where
several of hts lady friends awaited
him. The crowd, which now numbered
only 1,000 people, catching sight ot
hun through tne windows, swarmed
around the Eighth street en
trance, rendering egress in that
direction impossible. Jardineappearcd
very much disturbed by the cumor ol
the crowd, and, seating himself on the
front pew, drew two immense navy re
volvers from beneath his gown and
placed them on bis lap. His vestry
men who surrounded him wonld occa
sionally shift the position of their re
volrers, which were concealed in their
pockets. Tbe priest finally put op his
revolvers, and tho police escorted him
from the church.
