A TELEGRAPH TROUBLE.

Green and Gould Enjoin the Mutual I'M
ion from Completing the New Pool-The
History of the Case from the Gould Stand
point.
NEW YORK, Nov. Ia new turn was
taken this forenoon in Mutual Union af-
fairs which stops the new pooling scheme,
creates some excitement in financial cir
cles, and possibly disappoints the hopes of
those who expected to profit by the pro-
posed arrangement. That arrangement,
as made public yesterday, was that the
stockholders had placed majority of the
stock with George w. Baker, First National
bank, George w. Ballou and A. II. Potter,
Of Boston, as trustees for five years, with
full control for voting purposes; but the
stock was to be deposited with the Central
Trust company of this city. The won
der was how this could be done
while there was previous pool in which
Baker and Jay Gould were trustees If the
controlling stock. The inner facts were
developed this morning by legal proceed
ings before Judge Van Brunt, of the su-
perior court. Application was made by
Norvin Green, president of the Western
Union telegraph company. the holder Of
$1,000 shares of stock, and by Mr.. Gould,
one of the trustees of the original pool,
for an injunction. After reading the
papers Judge Van Brunt issued the order.
1t transpires that the Mutual Union COM
pany, finding difficulty to meet It's indebt-
edness and pay interest on bonds, applied
to Mr.. Gould for help through Mr..
Baker. There we're ugly suits pending
also, including the validity of the Page
patent which the Mutual Union was anx-
ious to have disposed of. The result was
an agreement between Baker and Gould.
1t was arranged that Gould should pur-
chase of John G. Moore s. Co. Is, 500 shares
of stock at an average Of about S. and
that $4,000 shares should be put up for the
pool. In connection with this Mr.. Gould
also bought from Baker, who had like
amount, 1860 shares, which, with the
other stock held by various persons
named, amounted to more than the neces-
sary $4,000 needed for the pool. could
transferred to the Western Union most of
his stock. The money derived from this
transaction went to pay the debts for con-
struction. Subsequently bonds were taken
by the Western Union and mainly used to
pay interest due. Recently, and after Ba-
ker had been elected director Of the West
ern Union, application was made by the
Mutual Union for more money to pay in
terest. The committee of the Western
Union refused to authorize it,
and thereupon Baker put in
the hands of Gould his resignation
This led to an effort to form new pool
which has been stopped by the Injunction.
How Baker is going to explain his action
to Gould, his co-trustee, and to the court,
remains to be seen. As the case stands he
and his associates are bound in the origi-
nal pool and are indebted to the Western
Union for money paid. Judge Van Brunt
is familiar with telegraph law and affairs,
having sat in the hearing of the case of
Benedict VS.. The Atlantic & Pacific and
Western Union companies in 1873. He

Impending Rero,utio,. in France


The Paris correspondent of the London
Morning Post thus discusses the politica.
situation in France: Whenever one has
the opportunity of talking with sensible
and enlightened men who have come from
the provinces and those who live in the de-
partments, and studies with careful atten-
ton the state of public opinion, one is nat
urally led to conclude that France is on the
eve Of revolution. Gen. de Charrette and
his country men of Vendee, who organize
excursion trips on Cooks system to Frohs-
dorf, the seat of the Comte de Chambord,
may be under the illusion that the republic
viii soon be overthrown. and that the white
flag will wave from the channel to the
Pyrennes as it waves in the banqueting
rooms of legitimate partisans. The par
tisans of Prince Jerome and the young
Prince Victor can hardly expect that the
country will take much interest in debates
of q violent character, which commence
with abuse and end in blows. The Socialist
workingmen societies who have sent their
representatives to the congress of ST..
Etienne, aye 10 doubt cherishing the idea
that, if q revolution is to agitate France
again, it will be a socialist revolution.
IHCI We nave III. NduIDctLd. WHO earnestly
believes that his newspapers, from the Re
pubiir.e Fraacaise TO the ReforDlc. will en-

lance Of maintaining joint control, and

tul. But INC 10. oiutlO.. I.i.r to is one
differing III character from all previous
revolutions. 1t is no emancipation from
imperialism or monarchy, from aristoc-
racy OF democracy, from one form or an
other of government. It is the emancipa-
ton of France, of rural France, of the
hardworking and laborious portion of the
nation from the Partisan yoke. The coun-
try cares little whether NJ. Ferry or M. de
Freycinet, NJ. Gambetta or M. Duclerc be
at the head of French ministry. What
it cares is to emancipate itself from the
influence of city which has become a
"Grand Bourse." The duke and the land
owner, the shopkeerer and the peasant, who
visit Paris as you woald great exhibition,
have had enough of the prestige of Paris.
The so-calied patriotic enterprises have
been started in Paris. But it is the money
and best blood OF France whichhave b cen
spent to backthe financial operations of
politicians in Tunis, and more money and
more lives would willingly be spent in Pa
risian enterprise and speculation to insure
financial operations in Egypt. Govern
ment newspapers, bourse and bankers seem
converted and nodded into one institution.

American sailors know how to swim; not
so many in proportion, should say, as
English and French"
An old sailor with whom the reporter
got into a conversation at the fruit dock,
shook his head very gravely when the gist
of Capt. Morrison's remarks was repeated
to him, and said: 'Maybe it is all so. Per-
haps voyage whaling is safer than cruis-

that's all there is about it. But prefer
my service on a vessel where it's on deck
or In the rigging, where you've got some
thing to hold on by and not where most of
it is in small boats. It isn't only the

gentleman said, you can most always catch
hold of something that will keep you afoat,
| I've had to do it my self. But there's other
chances. I never think of going whaling
but what remember yarn that ship
mate of mine told me once. He had been
on voyage after sperm whales in south

to pieces the boat he was in and her crew
naturally all went adrift. My

oar and kept themselves up by it easily;
for you know it don't take much to sup
port mars weight in the water, espec-
tally if he has sense enough to paddle a
little downward, under water with one
hand. The water was smooth, there were
two other boats only little ways off COM
ing to their help and they didn't feel that
they had any occasion to be scared of any
| danger. In fact, one of them was laugh

unearthly screech, threw up his

And the boat was SO close that her crew

beating the water with their oars, to scare

swarmiog all about, until they could drag
aboard my shipmate. Oh, Jes; whaling
may be an awful safe business, but don't
want any of it, and it isn't question OF
swimming, either.''

Swearing or on Politics.

The man who has once beer adlici, i
to politics finds it hard to reform and
break the letters that bind HIM. He
makes a resolve, IN mis- mind, that never
again will he touch the fatal polite, and
he goes along for months without think
ing of indulging but in an unguarded
moment, after the campaign opens, he
thinks of something that can be played
on the opposition, and he takes the frs.
step, and then he goes down, antil cleo
ton day he is peddling tickets like an
old stager, at night he is around hearing
the returns, at midnight he is whooping
1t up with the boys, and at three a. m.
he goes up stairs ut home on all fours,
his hat overwhelmed by good naiority,
his head as uncertain and wavering as
the chances of his party, his tongue as
thick as opposition votes, and his breath
as strong as the atmosphere in a malt
house. He has lied to his wife about
having to go to the lodge to give some
high degrees to some Masons from the
country, and when che smells his breath
she knows how high the degrees are, and
1t all comes over her in second-not the
breath, but the idea-that he has fallen
from his high estate and again sunken in
the mire of politics. After election. and
his party is beaten, as usual. ne swears
upon stack of brick, in $ hat, that he
will touch not, taste not, handle not. the
intoxicating and demoralizing polite.
but he lies, and he knows it. What the
country wants is society for reforming
men who are addicted to politics. soci-
ETY. where he can go when he feels Inc
old appetite coming on, and have his
thoughts turned to different channel
He is weak, and he wants his brothers
and sisters to take him by the hand. par
ticularly the sisters, and brace him up,
and make him strong against the enemy.
When he feels like taking hand in
campaign, where he knows that he will
surely fall, and come out with the smell
OF kerosene and beer on his garments,
and cheese on his breath, he wants to
feel the strong arm of the society around
his waist, and hear the members singing
songs of Zion instead of hurrahing for
somebody for Justice of the peace But
If such a society were formed for the
reformation OF the politicians, inst about
the time it got the converts strong
enough TO walk alone, the COMPOUNDED
society would nominate ticket of its
own and go into the campaign making
more noise than all the other political
parties, and the reformed politicians
would find that they had jumped ont of
the frying pan into the fire. Twas ever
thus from childhood hour. -Pcck's San.
