Hun1ington and the Lobby.

It's probable that Washington will not
see much Of Mr.. Huntington this winter.
1t is stated that he has abandoned Viii
Iard's and taken rooms at Wormley's
where he will be more secluded. Doubt
less he will remain in New York the great
er part of his time. and will visit Wash
ington only when his schemes absolutely
demand his presence. The publication
of his wonderfully frank letters to 'Friend
Cotton" will make Congressman afraid to
be seen in his company, or to visit him in
his rooms. The knowledge that he I'M
bosoms himself in letters to a confidential
friend will be sufficient to cause him
to be Stunned by Senators and Rep
resentatives who have any regard
for their regulations. Even Sheriff.,
Huntington's shrewd, sharp, white
haired lieutenant, vii! not find himself SO
warmly greeted as heretofore. He will be
given the cold shoulder, unless he is met
in committee room, the doors Of which
are locked, or in some Out-Of-the-way place
in the city.
Huntington wants Congress to give
him about 100000 acres of land this
winter. 1t is the grant that was made tC
the Texas Pacific. That road did not earn
the grant because it did not build its line
through it. 1t pretended to have some
sort Of claim to it, however, and trans
ferred whatever right it had to the South
ern Pacific-HuntingtOn road. The
Southern Pacific is built through the
grant, and Huntington wants it now, al
though he said to Congress that he die
not want it when he was striving to pre-
vent the Texas Pacific from getting {
charter. No member of Congress, in the
face of the Huntington letters, would
I dare to vote 10 give this land grant K
\ Huntington. If he had a claim to it tha
/ had any foundation he might find sup
/ pOrters. His chief aim will be to keel
/ Congress from declaring the grant forfeit
| ed. 1t is not probable that he will sue
coed in doing even that. The disposition
/ is to forfeit all unearned land grants a
once. Those who oppose forfeiture vii
! rest under the suspicion of having
/ had a little confidential talk witt
| Huntington. Altogether this promises
/ to be a bad year for the great lobbyist anC
| confidential letter writer. This Congress;
promises nothing that is encouraging t
| lobbyists and their schemes. 1t is re
form Congress. The tariff is to be re
/ duced, unearned land grants are to be for
| feited, and appropriations are to be GU
/ down. The lobby is gloomy.

Anine NInsenm Cnriositr

Sergeant Mason, who was sent to the
Albany penitentiary for attempting to
shoot Guiteau while guarding the assassin
at the District of Columbia Jail, and who
was lately pardoned by the President, is
exhibiting himself as a curiosity. When
he was released he announced his purpose
Of becoming an honest shoemaker. Work,
it seems, was distasteful to him. and he
figures as the leading attraction in Phil
adelphia dime museum. His picture, to-
gether with a flaming advertisement, occu-
pies a prominent place in several of the
Philadelphia papers. No doubt he
finds it more profitable TO occupy
place with the monkeys and
wax works than to follow the trade which
he learned in prison. Why people care to
see Sergeant Mason is not easy to under
stand. His only claim to nOtoriety is that
he attempted to murder prisoner that
he was bound to protect. His act was
that of coward or a crank. 1t hadn't
a single commendable feature. He was
rightly condemned and imprisoned, and
the President made grave mistake
when he pardoued him. The granting of
the pardon was a sort of admission that
the would-be murderer had some sort of
excuse for his crime. If he had been per-
mitted to serve out his sentence the
majority Of the people would
have acquiesced in the judg-

The Drummers' License.

We again call attention to the drum
mers' license tax, because we think 1t Is
Injurious to the interests Of the city. If
the City Council will give the matter
careful consideration we think they viii
see the adyisability Of abolishing the tax
altogether, or, at least, Of reducing to
such an extent that it will not virtually
prohibit commercial travellers from CON-
inc here. If the tax remains as it is at
present our merchants will be deprived
Of the advantages which accrue TO them
from the presence of drummers. They
will lose the benefits which flow from
competition for their trade, anu
the knowledge of the changes
which are constantly taking place
in the prices Of the commodities
in which they deal. AS means Of re-
venue the new ordinance Oyerleaps ITSELF
Drummers will not come here if they have
to nav such a burdensOme tax. Already
the news OF the s1Chinese walF' tax mas
gone far and wide. Respectable COM
mercial travellers are leaving Savannah
severely alone. They cannot afford to
come here. The little sneak drummer or
peddIer will come in as usual and pay no
tax. If each Of the cities and towns
south Of Savannah was to put
special tax on Savannah drummers
who call on their merchants, how would
the advocates of the tax in this city like
it, This prohibit0ry tax may benefit
few merchants, but it is an injury to the
mass of business men. 1t takes from
them the advantages OF other markets. II
we expect Northern men to patronize the
new hotel. we must not fence out their
statesmen.
Atlanta, Macon, Columbus and other
important business places in Georgia
have no drummers' tax, yet their mer-
| chants manage to hold their trade. One
/ objection made to letting the drummers
/ come in is that after selling a large dealer
they proceed to fill the orders of con-
sumers. That will certainly be the case
where there is almost a prOhibitOry tax,
and where only one or two drummers Wis
| it our city. but with the field open to all
/ corners. the drummer who also peddles his
goods will soon find that his occupation Is
gone. Let there be free trade in this mat
\ ter. 1t will make this cheaper market
and draw trade to our city and benefit all
/ classes Of our people.

Dodging Mr.. springer's Committee.

q
Mr.. Brewster Cameron is a shrewd
young man. He probably saw that he
was pretty certain to be invited to get out
Of the Department of Justice, and so he
got out before the invitation came. For
a couple of years Brewster Cameron was
the ''bOssv of the Department of Justice.
He did pretty much as he pleased, and
if reports are true it pleased him to
Cypress those who opposed his schemes or
refused to tickle his vanity by praising
him. The general judgment in Washing
ton is that he has plenty of brains, but not
much common sense. The idea that both
ers him most is that he is a
great detective. There is no record
that he ever discovered any
wrong doing, or had anybody punished
for the commission of any crime. He
made life extremely unpleasant for a
number of United States Marshals, who
somehow or other incurred his enmity.
The scandals which he brought on the
Department of Justice during the star
route trials are still fresh in the public
mind. In his role of a detective, he
mixed matters so badly that the public
were never fully satisfied whether the De-
partment of Justice or the defendants at
tempted to bride the jury in the first star
route trial. The Attorney General had
very little to say about the management
of his Office. Brewster Cameron was
the power who made and I'M
made Marshals and District Attorneys.
And now the youthful "bOss" has given
up his splendid position to accept an
unimpOrtant place in Southern Arizona.
Mr.. Springer's committee has alarmed
him. He don't want to be Investigated.
1t is safe to say that when Mr.. Springer
begins to look into the affairs of the
Department of Justice Brewster Cameron
will start for the wilds Of Arizona. A
subpoena will aOt reach him. He won't
permit it to reach him. 1t is said that he
owns some ranch land in Arizona in con-
nectiOn with Simon Cameron. His name
creates the impression that he is a sort of
link between Brewster, Attorney General,
and Simon Cameron, the famous Pen
nsylvania politician. Both Of them may
have had hand in giving him his name.
His name, however, is not matter of so
much interest as the fact that he is out of
the Department of Justice.

Women don't get mixed up in politics
in this country much except in Salt Lake
CITY. Washington and Boston, but Long
Island City, n. Y, is very much agitated
over the attempted removal of Mrs. 5. NJ.
Walker. ianitress of the Astoria police
station. The resolute woman has refused
to vacate the office, and says she is going
to serve her time out, and that she will
hold on to the position three years longer.
She is to be removed because she used
her political influence in opposi-
ton to the election of the present
Mavor. The Commissioners announced
their intention to expel her by force if
necessary. The Law and Order Society
of Astoria. a kind of civil service reform
organization of that city, have taken the
part of the janitress, who, it is said, has
performed her duties satisfactorily, and
will assist her in testing the legality Of
her removal before the courts. Another
woman has been appointed as her sue
cessor. and as each have strong friends,
an interesting and exciting contest may
be expected.

The historian of the TimeS-DemOcrdt
Everglades expedition sums up his OBJ
servations OF the Everglades as follows:
1t is a vast marsh, interspersed with
thousands of islands small in extent, and
with few exceptions completely mum
dated, even at the time we explored them,
which was during very dry season. On
the islands that were out of water there
was but few inches of soil covering the
rocks. In my opinion their drainage is
utterly impracticable, and even if it were
practicable the reward for such an under
taking would be lands that could be util-
lied for no other purpose than as graz
ing ground for stock. They are nothing
more nor less than a vast and useless
marsh, and such they will remain for all
time to come, in all probability.
From all of which it appears that the
world is not much better informed about
the Everglades than it was before the eX-
pedition started, and that the Times
Democrat has been pretty extensively
advertised.

of Justice, day or two ago in an inter-
view said: Il understand there were
spies employed by the Department of JUS
tice for every conceivable purpose almost.

shadow Senators and Congressman and
officials of almost every class, and that
spies were employed to look after
those spies. 1t reminds me of the say
ing that big fleas have little tleas,
and little fleas have other feas to bite
them,' ad nauseum. 1t was very COM
plicated spy system, and l presume we
cannot see the accounts Of money that
went to them. 1t is strange that under
our form of government the men who fur
nish the money for these purposes cannot
know where it goes to. | suppose the
whole matter will be given turning over,

An interesting question is before the
Secretary Of the Treasury at Washington
regarding the classification of rice meal
and the duty thereon. The contest is be-
tween the importers who supply brewers
with the meal and the large dealers in
rice. who wish to have the meal classed
the same as whole rice, which will in
crease the duty on the article nearly 10C
per cent. Counsel have been employed
to represent the interests of the respective
parties before Secretary FOIger, and the
decision of the question is expected dur
