A WICKED PLACE.
The Metropolis Seemed Full Of Per-
ills TO an Innocent Granger.


He boarded the car at Twenty-third street.
says the New York Tribune. There was
nothing out of the way about his appearance.
A brOad-brimmed straw hat was worn on the
back OF his head; he had a good-natured
face with rather fleshy nose, large at the
base; lie wore light suit of clothes and
carried bamboo switch; his first question
told the story.
(which is your destination" was the
conundrum that he fired at the conductor,
1.-THE AstOr house or the city halo"
Both" was the sententious and COM
prehensive reply of that official.
This stunned him so that he didn't revive
until the BOwery was reached. Then
leaning over and whacking fellow-passen-
ger across the shins in a playful manner
with his stick, he asked:
Where's the Five POints?"
'"Bout mile further down. was the re-
ply.
The next inquiry was directed in a gen.
eral way to the whole car ''What are the
police up to nowadays? 1 amt seen 'em
make no arrests yet''
LAS there are 1000 officers on duty at
one time, 1t doesn't take more than one ar
rest to every tenth man to keep up the
necessary supply for the courts" suggested
a gentleman sitting opposite
'How many officers aire they in alp"
Three thousand" was the laconic an
swer.
''Goshr' exclaimed the seeker after
knowledge, as his wonder evaporated in a
long whistle.
Il wouldn't like to walk around here
after dark" was the next remark, as he
gazed fearfully up and down the centre
street. after benevolent old gentleman had
shown him the glimpse of Five Points to be
obtained as the car crossed Worth street.
''Oh, this is a perfectly safe and entirely
respectable locality" exposulated the old
gentleman.
wall, down South we reckon Five Points
to be pretty tough place." was the know
ing response. Eye see we read all about
these places"
After that he was permitted to reveI in
the imaginary terrors of his wanderings
through this desperately wicked city, and
when last seen he was picking his way
across Broadway TO the AStOr house with
one hand on his watch, the other on his
purse, and both eyes open for the dreaded
pickpoeket and bnko man.

THE AMERICAN EXHIBITION.

An American exhibition is TO be opened
in London next summer. 1t is not to be an
International affair, but entirely national in
character, although held on British soil,
and is designed TO show the progress made
in peaceful pursuits by this country. 1t
will be an exhibit of the arts, inventions,
manufactures, products and resources of the
United States. The commercial results of
such an undertaking will be of great value
TO our country. The idea originated with
Gen. c. b. NORTON of Massachusetts,, to
whom we are indebted for the suggestion of
the Centennial exposition in 1876. The
date fixed for the opening is suspicious, as
1886 is the jubilee year of Queen Victoria,
being the fiftieth of her reign. The British
Colonial and Indian exhibition viii be held
at the same time, and there will be repre-
.sentatives of the whole of the English
speaking races in the British metropolis.

TIE London correspondent of the New York
Herald says the Pail Mall Gazette's purported
discoveries turn out 10 be a skillful rehash
from old reports of the Society for the Pre-
vention of Juvenile Prostitution and the
books OF RYAN, TALBOT and ACTON on the
same subject, and principally worked up
fancifully from chapters of the elaborate
history Of London vices in HENRY MAYHEw's
book. the London Poor" printed IN 1861, now
scarce and almost forgotten. Notwithstand-
ing the plagiarism OF the Gazette, it seems
that there IS enough fresh evidence to con-
vince the London public that the vices OF which
MAYHEM wrote in 1861 are still in existence.
The report of the distinguished commission
now In session will settle the controversy
about the correctness of the charges.

THE PRESIDENT sLANDERED.

The GLOBE was right about it. The
president did not fish on Sunday. A cor
respondent of the Baltimore Sun, who ac-
companied the presidential fishing party,
tells his paper all about it. The party ar
rived at the Woodmont club house. ION the
upper Potomac, late Saturday afternoon and
rested on the Sabbath, according to the
commandment. Early Monday morning
they started out on the river in small boats,
and by noon the president had caught
twenty fine bass, the smallest weighing one
and a half pounds. 1t was the universal
testimony of the entire party that Mr..
CLEVELAND was the most expert fisherman
they ever saw. 1t is stated that in batting
his hook the president ran the line through
the bats gills and brought the barb of the
hook out under the tail. This fact is
probably mentioned to illustrate the
presidents conservative custom of first
making sure of what he has in
hand before casting into untried waters
for larger game. The CORE spondent fur
thermOre mentions two incidents of the
trip, revealing little insight into the softer
side of the chief magistrates nature.
While waiting at the station for the train
on which he was to return to Washington
little ten-year-old girl approached him and
in modest way asked him to write in her
album. He embraced the child and then
putting her book on the fence wrote his
name in pencil in the book. He told her
to write to him and he would send her his
autograph in ink. A well-known citizen
requested an introduction to the president.
which was given. The citizen said, Il am
delighted to see you, Mr.. President and to
welcome you to our country. though L did
all could against your election last fall"
With this he attempted to withdraw his
hand, but the president would not have 1t
so; he quietly frightened his grip on ''the
enemy's' hand and said: "We went in very
easily without your help last fall, and
probably you will be with us next
time" and then released his hold. A
number of gentlemen here said that
Mr.. CLEVELAND was right; that next time
large number of West Virginians who
were against his party will be for it.
1t is gratifying TO know that the Ohio
Republicans will now be compelled to re-
form their campaign and will have to trump
up some other issue against the administra-
ton other than Sunday fishing.

HENDRICKS, YALE GRAFTON.


The vice president delivered the annual
address this year before the graduating
class and the alumni of the Yale Law
school. The speech, i'm pamphlet form, is
before us, and is rather short for its title:
The Supreme Court of the United States,
and the Influences That Have Contributed
to Make it the Greatest Judicial Tribunal
in the World. The reasons assigned for
the magnitude and dignity of the issues
tried before the supreme court are the pc
culiar institutions of this country. We
have written constitution to which the
legislative body must conform its acts; we
are federation of states, still retaining
some sovereign powers and surTendering
others to the central government; each citi-
zen within our borders owes two-fold al
legiance, allegiance to his state and allie
glance to the United States. The supreme
court has ultimate jurisdiction in all the
veXed questions which arise out of these
complicated relations. The highest courts
of other nations can only decide questions
affecting monetary matters and the personal
liberties Of the people. With us, however,
the highest court determines finally and ir-
reversibly not only such disputes, but
also questions of national policy:
it declares void laws of the states
and laws of the United States.
because they conflict with the constitution,
that great creative charter of all the depart
ments of the government To its judg-
ment. not to the wisdom and acuteness of
congress, is confided the demarkation of
federal powers implied, and those not i'm
piled in that venerable instrument Owing,
therefore, to the peculiar nature of our in
situations, and the unique structural char
acter of our government, the supreme court
of the United States is august above all
judicial bodies in the world in the gravity
and scope of the subjects propounded for
its decision. In England, for instance,
parliament may repeal Magma Charta or
any part of the British constitution, for the
constitution is the act of parliament. The
British courts, therefore, can only decide
whether the transaction in question is con-
formable to the enactments of parliament.
In America, on the other hand, the courts
sit upon the very validity of legislation.
Mr.. HENDRICKS prOnounceS fervid eulogy
upon the purity, wisdom and learning of
the supreme court all through its history.
The greatest of judges was MARSHALL;
''the applause of his deeds overlook him
while the robe yet rested upon his Shout
ders. and he went to his eternal rest re-
nOwned throughout the earth" The bar
that practiced before this great court was
worthy of the judges and of the momentous
character of the issues tried. PINcKNEY.
WRIT and WEBSTER are named by the
vice president as the most illustrious of all
illustrious company. In peroration, not
devoid of eloquence, the duties of the legal
profession as trust for the administering
of justice and the sacredness of this trust
are admirably set forth.

THE VIRGINIA RIrCCANErp

Duccaneer MAHONE and his ragamuffin
gang complain of the administration he
cause 1t is turning the regulators out.
MALONE Is very much put out because he
no longer has servile administration at tho
national capital to furnish patronage on
which his political crew can subsist ,ybiIa
they are robbing creditors of their honest
dues. There is no act of the present ad-
ministration which has met with mora ga,-
eral appreciation throughout the country
than its withdrawal of patronage from tbe
miserable mongrel party controlled by Ma
HONE and RIDDLEBERGER. The presenca
of these two individuals in the senate of
the United States is a disgrace to the na-
ton. They are the leaders of a marty
which does not propose to do ANYTHING
to promote the moral and material
progress of the country. Their
only aim or purpose is to stand
at the public crib and fatten Oh spoils.
The fact that MAHoNE's gang dropped the
designation ''Readjuster' and substituted
Republican" is in itself the evidence of
having been received into full membership
by the grand old party of moral ideas The
Republicans are welcome to him. In that
he represents the worst features of the
spoils system, the illustrous freebooter is
more at home in the Republican ranks than
elsewhere. In fact he considers himself.

Omnha Enterprise.

Yesterday about noon the statement was
made that the building being rebuilt at the
corner of Third and jackson streets was
leased to one of the railroad companies.
and before evening the talk was general
among scalpers and ticket agents of the
new deal that had been made, and they
were all anxious to know which railroad
company had made the lease. 1t was
learned later on, however. from good
authority, that the Omaha is the lessee
and is 10 pay So, 900 annually for rent. The
Minnesota IL Northwestern bid $4,000 for
it, but as the Omaha bid thousand better
it secured the building. This company Oc-
cupied it before it was torn down. What
arrangements the Omaha intends making is
not yet known. 1t has now an Office in q
place which the other companies envy, as
it is said TO be the best situated one in the
city, at the corner of Third and Sibley
streets, for which it pays an annual rental
of S5.O Some time ago there was an
agreement made by the local passenger
agents that each company should maintain
but one Office in the city. This was done
TO have things equalized, as offices would
have been opened in every nook and corner
in the city only for this. Speculation is
rife now as to whether the Omaha will Oc-
cupy both offices. 1t is thought that it will
move TO the upper one and release the
lower one to scalpers or anyone else who
is willing to pay good round sum for its

The Canadian Pacific monopoly.

Winnipeggers are in high state of indig-
nation over the manner in which the Ca
madam Pacific is imposing ON their inter-
ests to help its own, and hardly day
passes that the Manitoba company in ST.
Paul does not receive complaints, and ask
ing if something can't be done, or if the
company cannot Use its influence in settling
wrongs. If the present state of affairs con
tinu.ss long it is possible that the Canadian
Pacific will be paralleled from Winnipeg to
ST. Vincent. The Canadian Pacific appre
ciates its monopoly, and charges eX0rb-
liant rates oil freight for the short distance
OF sixty miles. y great amount of the
freight consigned to Winnipeg by the Man
itoba is carried by boat from st. Vincent,
tine rate being 2S1z cents by river, against
a cents per 100 pounds, irSt-claSs, by the
Canadian Pacific. And it is about once out
of ten times that the Canadian Pacific
beats the time made by the boats. while
the distance by river is nearly double.

4 Uniform Switching Charge.

A meeting was held in Traffic Manager
Clarke's office of the Omaha road yesterday
to fix switching charges ON coal between
st. Paul and Minneapolis. There were
present: General Traffic Manager Clarke
and j. L. Clarke, general freight agent of
the Omaha; General Freight Agent Han
ley of the Minneapolis 81 st. Louis, and
General Northwestern Freight Agent
Boyden of the Milwaukee & ST. Paul road.
When one road had a number of car loads
of coal that would be delivered from a track
across one or two tracks of other lines,
there would be switching charges OF q dol
lar per car for each track the car crossed,
and the meeting was called TO agree on one
uniform switching charge, that is, each road
will be privileged to cross the tracks of
another company without paying anything
extra, which was done. This is of much
Importance to the shipper. as quite often
the switching charges amounted to as much
as the transportation of several tons of coal
from the lake ports.

is comparatively a new man in so far as
the Indian question is concerned, but he is
a sound man on business principles, and
will soon see the merits of the question

Chicago Wants the Business.

special 10 the GLOBE
CHICAGO, July 1.-THE members of the
Chicago committee of east-bound traffic
met again to-day at Joint Agent Moore's
office and brought up the question of pool
rates. 1t was proven that quantities of
articles were being diverted from Chicago
from western points where rate-cutting
was extensively INDUCED in and some &C
ton must be taken to meet it, even if
the restored tariff had to suffer.
All of the wool shipped from
this point is going forward under contracts
or guaranteed rates, that run until the sea-
son is over and there remains no more to
ship. The impOssibility of maintaining a
tariff under adverse circumstances is illus
trated by the action of the committee.
Wool is always desirable article to freight
and there is always much rivalry for the
traffic. 1t is safe to say that not ton
will be handled eastward on which full
tariff rate will be received, about twO-thirds
the rate being the prevailing figure.
