Mr.. ConkIing and the Artist,
From, the CLeysknad Leader.


During the time of the Electoral Commits
senate and was It's most prominent Republic
can figure, an artist of the London News was
sent here to make sketches of the great event
for his paper, and ne wished to make Senator
CInkllng part of these pictures. He called
on ConKllng at his residence, and found him
engaged in writing. He was received in a
dgnlted way. and told Senator Conkling
that he would like to have photograph of
HIM to send to London, and that If he had no
photographs he would make arrangements for
HIM 10 sit at any time with any Washington
photographer COnkiing should select, and
that the London News would pay the bill,
THAT is out of the question" replied COnk-
ling; Il have something else to do than sit for
photographs. l am sorry can't obllge you :"
AT this the artist turned to so, whereupon
Senator tOnkling said: ~ suppose, sir, YOU
sketch, and il you really want my picture,
though can't give you a photograph, don't
see how can prevent you from taking sketch
of me-"
More than this, he was perfectly willing
that the artist should take the sketch then and
there, and while he was writing away the
artist sat down and rapidly moved his pencil
over the paper. In the course of ten minutes
he got up and babe Conkling good day, when
was handed to him, and he was so much pleased
with it that he told the artist that he would
like 10 keep it, and that if he would allow him
to do go he would pose for him.
The artist wanted nothing better than this,
and he got Senator Conkling to assume a DO =
sition he had taken In one of his noted speeches
delivered day or two before. He kept him
standing until he had made an excellent
sketch, and this sketch he sent off to,his paper

The Morrison Surplus Resolution
the indications are that the Morrison
+ surplus resolution will be passed by :he
Senate. When the House passed IL by 81
large a majority as to make the opposition
10 it scarcely worth noticing, it was said,
with great deal Of p0stiveness, parllc-
ularly by the journals hostile to it, that 1t
would never yet through the Senate. The
/ New YORK Commercial Bulletin, for in
stance. said: 1--WE have already charac-
terized this proposition as directly tend
+ ing to the destruction Of the public credit.
/ The country looks to the Senate to put
the seal Of repro5ation upon 1t and bury
/ it out OF sight"
1t does not look now as II the Senate
would bury it tout of sight" Leading
Senators of both parties have permitted
the impression to get abroad that the FL
nance COMMITTEE Of the Senate Will report
he resolution favorably, and that if 1t
/ does it will be adopted.
VIII the President veto it2 is a question
| that is Just now being discussed with
great deal of interest. Opinion appears
to be divided. The resolution is clearly a
criticism on the management Of the
Treasury. If it had been proposed
! by Republican, even though
! strongly supported by Democrats, it would
not have afforded an opportunity for 30
mucn political gossip. That the Demo-
cratic Speaker and the leader OF the Dem
| ocratic majority should urge the passage
! OF resolution which practically con-
demns the financial policy OF Demo-
cratic Secretary of the Treasury is deemed
somewhat remarkable.
The President may elect to stand by the
financial course Of his administration in
the event that the resolution reaches
him, but it will require considerable nerve
to do so. If Congress by large majority of
both Houses directs certain course to be
pursued with respect to financial matters
he would probably hesitate to oppose its
will To veto this surplus resolution, if
the Senate should pass it by anything like
as large a majority as the House did, would
be to accept a very great responsibility,
because the interests at stake are i'm
mense.
The administration organ in New York
says that the surplus under theresolution
would not be used to pay the bonds. That
can hardly be a correct statement. The
bonds certainly come within the scope Of
the resolution, and as the surplus is large
~ in silver the bonds would have to be
paid in that currency.
Although it is bad policy to keep $50, 000,-
600 or $l000O0,00O surplus locked up in
the Treasury while the government is
paying interest on matured obligations,
it is questionable whether it is a wise
policy TO pay the bonds in a currency that
is liable to become deprecated when the
amount OF it in circulation reaches a Ger
tain point. The aim should be to keep
the amount from reaching that point.

Mistress of the Situation.
From the PAiladeyphta Tia>..

ETV"t t"o 4 ftHhHefp1tI It1Qe6.
One evening not long ago a herd Of Angora
goats that were being herded by Miss Teresa
Tallert on Lost river, Idaho, came home in n
hurry and crushed pel mel for the corral. a
log concern some eight feet high. They were
shut IN by the young shepherduess, no male
mem hers OF the family being home at the time
In search among the foothills no cause for
alarm was developed. In the night Miss Tai
lert was aroused by her dog whining at her
ear, and getting up she saw from the windo W
by the aid OF bright moonlight some wild
ANNA raising havoc in the corral She
stepped outside almost into the embrace of
four mountain lions, and without moments
hesitation attacked them with an AK, Two OF
the lionsJumpedt the corral and fed. The other
two rushed toward her and stampeded the
goats, who nearly trampled their young mis-
tress to death She sDrang to her feet Just in
time TO deal well. directed blow at one mon
ster who was springing at her throat. She
laid him out, cutting the rump open to the
bone. Then both fed. The next morning
fifty OF the valuable goats were found dead
aud thirty wounded. Fourteen Of the latter

MIR. Powderiy and Protective Tariff.
1t is hardly probable that workingmen
doubt that Mr.. Powderly, the General
Master Of the Knights of Labor, is their
friend, or that he would advise them
against what he considered to be for their
interests. 1t seems, however, that many
of them differ with him on the question
whether a high protective tariff is benef-
cial to workingmeu. At the mass meet
ing in this city last Monday night a reso-
luton taVoring high protective tariff was
adopted, mainly, ii is believed, by the
votes OF workingmen. On last Thursday,
only three days afterwards, Mr.. Pow
derby, in a speech before the Eastern
Green Glass Bottle Blowers Association
at Atlantic City, reported in the New
York Tribune, said: ave talk about a
high protective tariff. If the working
men were organized, we could take the
tariff down. The tariff protects the
manufacturer and not the workingman."
This statement, from the chief of the
greatest labor organization in the cOun-
try, ought to be sufficient to make work
ingmen who are advocates OF high pro-
tective tariff doubt whether they are not
laborng under a grave mistake.
Mr.. Powderly says pretty plainly that
if the Knights of Labor were thoroughly
! organized they could do what the Demo
cratic party has for years been trying to do
viz, reduce the tarifr-and the inference
| from his remarks is, that In his opinion
they will attempt to do it just as soon as
they are sufficiently organized to exert
their power through the ballot box. They
will reduce the tariff because the protec-
tive feature of it benefits the manutac-
turer and not the workingman.
Eefo-e the organization Of which Mr..
Powderly speaks is secured, however,
those who are capable of taking the lead,
and of pointing out in what direction the
! true interests OF wOrkingmen lie, will
have To be pushed to the front In the local
| assemblies of the knights.

From WdtterSOn'S Paris Letter in the Cour,
journal.
The Pope he leads happy life,
He fears no marriage care, nor strife:
He drinks the best of Rhenish wine,
would the Pope's gay lot were mine.
But then all happy's not his life,
He has not maid nor blooming wife,
Nor child has he to raise his hope;
l would not wish to be the Pope.
The Sultan better pleases me,
His is life OF iOlliJy;
His wives are many as his will,
The Sultan's throne l then would fill,
But even he's wretched man,
And must obey his Alcoran,
Ana dare not touch one drop or wine:
would not change his lot for mine,
So then I'll hold my lowly stand,
And dwell in my own vaterland;
I'll kiss my maiden far and fine,
And drink the best of Rhenish wine.
And when my maiden kisses me,
I'll fancy the Sultan be;
And when the Rhenish wine | tope,
I'll fancy then | am the Pope.

1t is doubtful what the House will do
with the river and harbor bill when it
considers it again. It NAV pass it in the
shape in which the Senate lett it, or 1t
may refer it to a conference committee.
1t is probable that it will pursue the lat
ter course. The reason for thinking so
is that the Mississippi river Representa-
tiVes will hardly be willing to &C
cept the - per cent. reduction, and there
will be considerable opposition to the
items which the Senate put into the bill.
About all Of these items were rejected
by the House, particularly that making
an appropriation for the Henuepin canal,
and it is not to be expected that it will
accept them now without contest.
II the bill goes 10 a conference commit
tee there is not much reason to think that
it Will be materially changed from what
it is at present. Doubtless the Senate
Committee on Commerce had excellent
reasons for thinking that the bill would
be vetoed if the % per cent. reduction
were not made, and these reasons will
probably be as potent with the conference
committee and the House as they were
with the Senate.
There is not much probability that the
bill will be vetoed if passed in its present
shape, and it carries enough TO continue
work on the public improvements for
which it provides until further appropria-
tions, which will probably be made at the
next session.
1t is noticeable that since a large APP
preparation for improving the entrance
to New York harbOr was placed in the
bill by the Senate the attitude of the New
York newspapers towards it has not been
so hostile. They do not now say that it is
filed with Jobs, and that it IS nothing
more than an instrument for stealing
money from the treasury. If they do not
sing its praises they do not at least con-
denim it.
AS the bill now stands Savannah har-
nor gets $l50.0O0. This is $4,000 more
than the House appropriated for it.
While it is only about one-half what
ought to be appropriated. and what
would be sufficient to complete the inn
provement contemplated by the existing
survey within year, it will neverthe-
less be accepted with a feeling approach
ing satisfaction In view of the apprehen-
sion that there was danger of getting no
appropriation at all.

The First District Nomination.

Hon. Thomas NJ. Norwood has been
renominated. OF course he will
he reelected. 1t is hardly probable
that he will have any oppostion-cer-
tainly none that is to be feared.
The contest was Il long one. Four DAYS
is good while 10 give to nominating a
Congressman, particularly in July. fit
hadn't been for the cooling showers the
perspiring delegates might, perhaps, have
reached conclusion much sooner. The
delegates, however, have only themselves
to blame tor taking four days to do what
they might have readily done in one.
When they adopted the twO-thirds rule
they knew that that meant long con-
test. However, the delegates from the
other counties are very pleasant gentle
men, and savannah was glad to welcome
them for so long a time.
The MORNING NEWS favored Mr.. Nor
wood OF the three candidates, because his
experience makes him better fitted than
either of the others to serve the
district. During the present session
Mr.. Norwood has done good service,
and he will doubtless have the sup
port of the MORNING NEWS as long as
he represents his constituents faithfully,
ably and conscienuously and stands by
the principles Of the Democratic party.
