Along tho line of tho Hriiai.d’s edi
torial of a day or two ago, in.regard to
Ilaron Bothsohlld’s proposition at the
monotary eonforonoo In regard to sil
ver purohasoB, the Philadelphia Heo-
ord has tho following, whloh contains
some timely suggestions:
“Deservedly great as Is the reputa
tion of Baron Alfred Bothsohlld ns n
IIn..ne'er, Ida scheme to hold up the
prloo of silver will hardly commend
Itself on this side of the water as ade
quate to the situation. Tbe govern
ments of Europe are to purchase $25,-
000,000 of sliver annually for five years*
on oondition that the government of
the United States shall continue Its
purchase of 54,000,000 ounoes of silver
a year. On what ground of equity
should tho people of the United States
be asked to carry twice as muoh qf this
silver burden as all the rest of the
world?
“Baron Bothsohild’s great finanoial
experience has led him to the opinion
that unless measures shall be taken to
prevent further fall of silver a mone
tary catastrophe will ensue. Yet, in
his view, the annual absorption of $36,-
000,000 of this metal would be as muoh
as governments of Europe, all com
bined, oould safely undertake. When
the price of silver shall reaoh 48 penoe
an ounce the common purchases are to
cease. This would be about 98 eents
an ounce', or about 86 oents less than
tho existing ratio between gold and
sliver in the standards of the United
States. Wbat will Senators Sones and
Alliaon say to a proposition so stroiig-
lyjn contrast with- their plan of free
and unlimited silver coinage?"

■ATION QUESTION.
The question of foreign immigration
promises to be a potent factor in the
future of American polities, and, in
faot, it baa already come to tbe front
as one of the most important issues ot
tbe day.
Tbe congressional committee on for
eign immigration has agreed on a
measure whloh prohibits the influx of
the overflow of foreign nations into
our country for the period of one year.
The main object of this act is to use
every possible means to prevent the
Introduction or spread of cholera in
tbe United States in the spring, when
it is said the fatal malady will again
break out unless cheeked by efficient
sanitation and other preventive meas
ure!.
If made a law, however, this meas
ure will, for a while, check other evils
which flow from the same source. The
overrunning of manufacturing ami
mining districts by thls'pauper labor
has more than one time had,a dlsns-
t rot is effect. These foreigners colleot
111 one section to themselves, never
lenrmng aught of American laws or
Institutions, nor endeavoring to'learn
the English language, caring only to
obtain enough money, and a little over,
to transport them back to their native
land. Such a course, on the part of
thousands of these immigrants, can
never be o* benefit to the States.
While the law is under considera
tion for the prevention of the spread
of oholera, it would he wise to impose
oertain restrictions for the future
upon immigration. After the suspen
sion of immigration for n year it will
be a comparatively easy matter to con
tinue it under restrictions, ns the sus
pension would have the etl'ect of mak
ing tlie restrictions scarcely notice
able.
Some legislation along this line will
soon be a demnnd which will he put in
the form of n pnrty issue.
Tho death of Jny Gould, says the At
lanta Journal, recalls a sensation that
was national in its importance which
was created by the refusal of Gov. Nor-
then to meet Jny Gould when'the pnr
ty was in Atlanta. An invitation was
extended to him by Mayor Hemphill
to participate in the receptlon of the
Gould pnrty. Gov. Northeti ail
ed to him the following letter: '
Hon. W. A. Hemphill, City:

Noithon and myself to old in receiving the
Gould jmity upon thoir nnivat in tlio cifcyi

of tho State, and heg to louder yon my thknks
for tho com, ill men t. I must be allowed toUay,
however, thut Ido not reeognizo Mr,Gould as

tho iutorests ot the masses of tho poople of th4
Slnito. I may ho mistaken in my moasuro of i\i\

Governor.'
This lotter was telegraphed broad-
uuast nil over this and other countries.
It created much comment, most ot
which was favorable to the governor.
The foot ball oraze has not yet
struok this part of the oountry, but as
a national game this sport promises to
supplant all others.
Tbe strides it has taken In popular
ity during the last few years indicate
that It is rapidly beoomtng the favor
ite sport of its olass; and the worse
the tussle, jam and bruising among
tbe players, the more it is enjoyed by
tbe orowd pud the louder is their ap
plause.
The injured player as he is oarrled
from the field receives such sympathy
as befits a wounded hero; yet the
orowd somewhat rejoices to see him
go down fighting to the last. It ex
cites in them such interest and en
thusiasm as does the sight of a prize
fight; no matter which side is on top
tho majority are with the winners.
It is not a game of brutality, how
ever, for the men expect to meet hard
ships in playing, and in training they
learn to meet the severest treatment
with little or no barm to themselves;
consequently the acoident has come to
be an exception.
So fast 1b the game growing in pop-'
ularity that it Is probable that it will
soon be taken up by professionals,
indeed, this has already been done in
England. Probably this is to be re
gretted, for, wblle the interest may be
kept up under such conditions for a
time, experience teaohes that its popu
larity is liable to wane gradually as a
college game. Interest in the sport,
however, will hold for a good many
years yet.

A maul Mian's L>ug.
A blind man, piloted about tlio cen
ter of the city yesterday by a dog, at
tracted a. good deal of attention. The
man was neatly dressed, and carried
a satchel containing articles to sell
swung over his shoulder. Ho carried
a stick in order to enable him to feel
his wny up or down a step. The dog,
a plump, well fed, brown animal, had
on a Bort of harness, to which a sttmt
cord was attached from liiahack. He
was apparently in a hurry to do
business,-for he tugged at the cord
vigorously as he went along. Every
few steps he would look around at
his master in the most intelligent
way, as if to discover whether he
was coming along safely.
As soon as he got to a door he
stopped and looked up at his master.
If the door was one on which was
posted tho sign,, "The othor door,"
the man would try the knob, and ns
soon as the dog saw that his master
could not go in he would immediate
ly movo on to the next dour. Wi en
a door was opened the dog appeared
to understand exactly liow to trans
act business. Ho would pilot his
master straight to tlio office, in the
back or front part of tho house, stop
and look up.
When anybody bought anything
and “Good day" was said, the -ani
mal would lend tho way out again,
ofton looking around at his compan
ion, and when the steeot was
reached he would ho sure to start ex
actly where ho loft off and try the
next door. If the animal was not
fond of that man, tho looks and ac
tions of a dog go for nothing.—Balti

late Judge Baxter, who presided over

Among them was the

following
“Ed. Johnston, who is now one of
the law partners of Judge Hoadly in
New York, once had a case before
Judge Baxter down in Tennessee,
and in the course of his argument
remarked that it was plainly evident
that an injunction could not be issued
against his client Judge Baxter
interrupted him, saying that he
thought he was mistaken.
“ ‘Well, your honor, I must confess
that I cannot see how it can he done,'
said Mr. Johnston.
“ ‘I can very easily show you if
you desire me to,' blandly observe^
Baxter, * • **
“Of oourae the attorney gallantly
expressed how grateful he would feel
if the honorable court would instruct
him. Baxter picked up a pen, seized
a scrap of paper and hurriedly wrote
out an order in the proper legal form
directing an injunction to be issued
against Johnston's client.
“ That is the way to do it, Mr.
Johnston,' Baid his honor. 'Mr. Clerk,

A year's study at Gizeh has con
vinced Mr. Finders Petrie that the
Egyptian stoneworkers of 4,000 years
ago had a surprising acquaintance
with what had been considered mod
ern tools. Among the many tools
used by the pyramid builders were
both solid and tubular drills and
straight and circular saws. The
drills, like those of today', were set
with jotvols (probably corundum, as
tho diamond was vory rare), and
even lathe tools had such cutting
edges.
So remarkable was the quality of
the tubular drills and tlie skill of tho
workmen that tho tutting marks in
hurd granite give no indication oi
wear of the tool, wltilo a cut of a
tenth of an inch was made in the
hardest rock at each revolution, and
a hole through both tho hardest and
softest material was bored perfectly
smooth and uniform throughout. Oi
tlie material and method of making
the tools nothing is known.—Shilling

Satisfied Them Both*
A funny story is being told of two
French noblemen and a favorite ac
tress. The Frenchmen were suitors
of the lady, and both seemed to be
equally e8te°med by her. It appears
that in France, as well as in many
other countries, a lock of hair is con
sidered a signal pledge of tender pas
sion. Mile. Bertha glories in the
possession of auburn ringlets, and
would not part with one of them for
.less than a duchy. Her admirers,
however, happened to have hair of
the Bame golden hue as that of their
common love.
Each begged a tress of her hair
in exchange for a lock of his own, to
which the charming creature readily
assented,' and without touching a
single hair of her head cunningly
managed to effect an exchange of
parcels by which each gentleman re
ceived a curl of his rival's capillaries.
The count now wears the baron’s
hair next his heart, and the baton
sleeps with the count's locks under
his pillow.—Buffalo News.

everything will move along as usual,
Tills interest amounts to about $100,-
000, and the failure to meet it was
.brought about by heavy expenses in
constructing new branches.
“It may be that the payment of this
interest will be delayed somewhat on
account of the road being so far behind
in paying its employes. Back wages
for several months are due many of
them, and it may be that these debts
will bo paid up first.
“As for the Albany branoli, that is
well secured and there can be no dan
ger to it whatever happens. It would
be a good thing for Albany if this road
could be controlled by the original
builders, but the trouble is tbe capital
is not at hand with which to obtain
sufficient rolling stock,
“I am of the opinion that everything
will be straightened out in short or
der.”

Tint light on the pension frauds has
