A Story of Arthur Gilman.

IRON, the Boston E0sRinG Record.
A number OF architects were talking the
other day of the peculiarities of the bright
men Of the profession in Boston, and they
agreed that the late Arthur Gilmer, who de-
signed the City Hall, took the palm for dash
ing self-confdence. The way in which his
practical humor cropped out amid seemingly
adverse conditions was recalled by two good
stories. Though he made a good deal OF
money he managed to spend more, and the
result was that he applied on a certain occa-
sion to take the poor debtors oath. To be
able to take this oath a person has to satisfy
the magistrate that he Is not worth 800 In the
world outside of certain exempted articles of
property. The questions put to Mr.. Gilman
by the counsel for the creditor elected the
fact that he was boarding at the fremont
house, then kept by that prince OF landlords
Paran Stevens, at the rate OF $40 a week
us not this high price for man who
hasn't got $50 in the world?" asked the law
yer. The architect hesitated about answer
ing this troublesome question, but on beng
told by the Judge that he must reply to it, he
exclaimed:
''l es, your honor, have often told Mr.. Ste
vens that he was charging me a great deal too
much, and wish your honor would present
the matter to him in this light"
The GOODNESS of this speech convulsed its
hearers, and the judge, who knew Gilman
well In his social relations, could not refrain
from joining in the merriment. The witty
architect was allowed to take the oath.

Gallant General wolrord.


Gen. Woford. of Kentucky, wants a third
term in congress. If he enters the race he
will be the favorite. In many respects he is
a most admirable man. He is as plain and
simple in his habits as child, perfectly art
less and wholly priceless. Though as poor as
poverty. and suffering with numerous wounds
yet unhealed, and becoming decrepit with
age, he for years resisted every temptation
the Republicans held out TO him to renounce
his principles and accept Office at the hands of
the Federal admin .strauon, and stood by his
party during years that it neglected him.
WOfOrd never thinks or cares about such
things. All the gold in the world is but drOss
in his eyes. When he has money his purse is
open. Scores of pensioners live on his bounty
to-day. His house is an asylum for the poor,
and what he has ls as free to the hungry as
The vital air of heaven. 1t is true that he
does not write many letters to his constitu-
ents. He is not hustler after patronage. He
is not much for dress parade, but he is always
in his seat, and invariably votes, and
votes right, and has as clean record as any
man in congress.
At the battle of Buena Vista Wolford was
a Sergeant in McKee's regiment. He saw
young Henry Clay fall and determined to bear
his body OFF the field. There was no commits
stoned officer present. Wolford at once took
command of about thirty priyates from diff
ferent companies and ordered four of them TO
take the dying officer in their srms, while the
others formed around them. The enemy sur
rounded them in countless numbers. Clay
begged WolfOrd to leave him 10 his fate and
save himself, but Wolford, as calm and col
lected as if he had been at a log-rOling at
home. said he would save his body from mu-
tiation or die in the effort. He repealed
twenty assaults of overwhelming numbers
With his own hand he killed Mexican after
Mexican, using the bayOnet alone against
their lances. When the party were
rescued only six survived, but they had the
dead body of their beloved commander I'M
polluted by the foe. Wolford was as bloody
as a hog from mead TO foot. No cline, no age
no theatre had witnessed a nobler deed OF
daring. That is the kind of man he is-one
worthy to have stood beside Curtus as he
plunged into the yawnlng chasn, or Manlius
as he hurled the Gaul from the battlement: as
heroic as the Spartan band who persisted at
the pass OF ThermOpyle, without fear and
above reproaeh. The people Of the district
know HIM and he can remain in Congress as
long as he chooses; but he is old and feeble,
and invalided by his wounds, which daily
rack his nerves with pain. He received them
in defense OF his country and his oountrymen
are not ungrateful.

Japanese Etiquette.


The difference of Dational interpretations Of
etiquette are comically illustrated in a little
story told by lady in Washington society.
A Japanese gentleman called on her one day
Just before luncheon. AS it was a first and
presumably. ceremonious call. she naturally
expected it would be brief. To her surprise.
ne accepted her invitation to lunch, and that
domestic rite over he still staid. The hours
wore on, and he did not go. The lady was
wearied beyond endurance. Dinner time
came. The lady's husband returned, and still
the gentleman from Japan staid on. He was,
as a matter of necessity, invited to
dinner. Finally the gentleman of the
house relieved his wife for a time
IN entertaining this apparently stationary
visitor. but, as the evening wore on. he became
so tired and sleepy that he retired to his own
apartment, and the hostess again screwed her
courage to the sticking point and resumed the
entertainment of the guest. At last about
midnight, the japanese, with the most eaho-
rate and abject apologies to the lady for
leaving her, took his departure. But the
comedy reached its denouement the next DAY,
when friend. in whom the extraordinary
guest had confded, told the hostess that he
said ne never had such an ordeal before IN his
lie: that he was so tired, and he thought the
lady would never let him go. and finally he
was obliged to leave her without her permits
sion. Then the hostess learned that in Japa-
nese etiquette the lady receiving gentleman
gives him the signal for his departure, and it
is very rude in their code to leave her till she
does this.

Too Many Organizations.

The refusal of the County DEMOCRACY
in New York city to have anything To do
with tie Tammany fall and Irving Hall
Democrats ought 10 be approved BY the
party. The practice that has been fol
lowed to some extent in past years. OF
parceling out the city offices among the
three organizations has not been produc-
tive Of good results.
Neither OF the factions was ever salts
fed with what it got, and trouble OF some
kind or other generally followed the bar
gaining. 1t was not always certain that
the dissatisfied faction did not sell out to
the opposing party. AS long as the three
factions continue in existence the full
support OF the party in the city cannot be
depended upon. Thousands OF men be-
long to one or another of the factions,
whose only purpose is to get share of
the spoils. They are Republicans when
they think the Republicans have a chance
of winning, and Democrats when the
prospects of the Democrats are promis-
ing.
1t is not probable that the failure to
reach any agreement among the factions
will hurt the State ticket very much.
If any adherent of either Tam
many or Irving hall should re-
fuse to vote the Democratic ticket
because of the action of the County
Democracy it would be pretty conclusive
evidence that he is not a Democrat. 1t
will be a good thing for the Democratic
party in New York, if the refusal of the
County Democracy to enter into an agree
ment for division of the county offices
results in putting an end to the practice
that has prevailed of recognizing this or
that organization as an annex to the party
that must be considered and dealt with
separately.

The Ohio Election.

The returns from Ohio came in slowly
last night, and at | O'Clock there was not
much on which to base an opinion as to
the result Of the election. The indica-
tions seemed to point to a Republican vic
tory. Republican gains were reported in
Hamilton county, and before the election
it seemed to be admitted that the result
would depend largely upon the votes in
that county.
A Republican majority Of 1900 in that
county will probably give the Republic
cans both the Governorship and the Leg
islature, and a majority of 1000 might
give the Governorship to tie Democrats
and the Legislature to the Republicans.
A Democratic majority in Hamilton
county will pretty certainly give the
Governorship and the Legislature to the
Democrats. The registration, however,
was such as to prevent calculations that
were at all satisfactory. In some localities
it was very heavy and in others very light.
The issues also were such as to make
calculations unreliable. They were
largely local and may have had a very
different effect in the rural districts from
what was expected. Ii would not be
surprising If the election were so close that
the result will be in doubt until the re-
turns are about all in.

Mississippi's Railroad Commission
Case


At the present term Of the United States
supreme Court a case, involving the right
Of a commission to make rates for rail-
roads within the state, will be heard. The
question whether a commission can make
rates FOR a road from point without
to a point within state, Will also
/ be presented. The case was sent
TO the court from Mississippi, and it will
be argued by some OF the ablest lawyers
OF tine South and West. Its Importance
can hardly be Overestimated in view Of
the struggle that has been going on and
is still going on in this and other States
between railroad companies and railroad
commissions
The Mississippi Railroad Commission
law was passed in March, 1884. OF
course, that portion of the law that au
thorizes the Commission to make rates
for any territory outside the State will be
declared TO be unconstitutional, and the
court may not deem it necessary to pass
upon the question whether the Legisla-
ture had power to make rates for travel
and transportation within the State. 1t
viii be rather unfortunate if the court
neglects to consider this latter question,
because it has become to be one of vast
interest, involving many millions OF dol
lars.
1t is a fact worth noticing that in most
Of the States in which railroad commits
sions were originally clothed with ex-
traordinary powers, these powers have
been greatly modified. Indeed they have
been changed so greatly that, with few
exceptions, the railroads have not much
fault to find with them.
1t will be remembered that the United
States Court for Tennessee declared that
the commission law of that State was I'M
constitutional. The State did not appeal.
The commission law, therefore, in that
State is no longer used to Cypress the
railroads. The immediate cause of the
overthrow of the Tennessee commission is
said to have been that IN order to secure
reelection it so reduced the rates that the
income Of the roads failed to pay the cost
of running them. A contest in the courts
followed and resulted in its overthrow.
Commissioners are as liable TO abuse
their power in one state az in another,
and when they do not Cypress the railroads
purposely they may do so through ignor-
ance; and 1t may not always be that the
railroads viii be oppressed. Occasions
may arise where the compliments will be
the people. In fact, the people OF Missis-
sippi are now represented as being tired
of the commission because it has checked
railroad building throughout the State.
The Supreme Court will render the
country a great service if, in this Missis-
sippi case, it deals fairly with the various
disputed questions relating to Railroad
Commissions.

Our citizens will be called on to-day by
members of the Finance Committee Of the
Harbor Convention and asked to sub
scribe to fund to meet the expenses OF
the convention. We feel confident that
the response will be prompt and the sub
scriptions liberal. Savannah has a repu-
tatIon for hospitality to maintain, and ev-
cry citizen ought to feel pride in main
tanning 1t. The convention will do a great
deal TO promote the interests Of this and
other South Atlantic ports. and nothing,
therefore, ought to be eftundone 20 make
it a success. 1t is expected that about
400 delegates will be present, and certain
cOurtesies will be due them from the city.
The amount that will be required to meet
the expenses OF the convention, under the
most economical management, will be
quite large. Savannah, however, has al
ways met readily all demands upon her
OF this kind, and she will sustain her rec
ord on this occasion.
