George Marsh,s Present.

Assistant General Ticket Agent Marsh.
of the Northern Pacific road, was prancing
around yesterday with his spirits about 80
degrees above zero He came down to the
Office Yesterday mroning in his shirt sleeves
and remarked to his Stenographer that he
thought it was going to be mild winter.
The stenographer gave him scared look,
and wondered what he'd been drinking.
When the porter came around to polish
Marsh's shoes he dropped a silver dollar
into his hand. The portar's hair stood on
end. and being of a supersttiouS nature, he
slid out into the hall and prayed to himself.
Marsh looked at his watch every five min
utes, leaned back in his chair, piled his
feet up on his desk and smoked a cigar, a
thing he does only Oh state occasions. The
clerks cast curious looks at each other and
wondered among themselves About 1890
O'Clock the whole matter was explained by
Marsh debating note to his stenographer
that ran as follows:
Dear Brother-Con@ratulatio are now in
order. My wife presented me with a splendid
present Christmas morning. 1t was a boy
and tipped the beam at 94 pounds. He is in
the pink of condition, with the exception that
he is a little yel-oh around his mouth. Yours
truly, s4E GEORGE.
Everybody laughed but the stenOgrapher-
He went out and bathed his head in coal
oil to take the Inflammation out. Then
George went down into his desk and drew
forth peck of dark brown cigars and un-
loaded them on his associates.

T. w. Teasdale, general passenger agent
of the Omaha road, returned from Chicago
Sunday, and all his associates and those
who were acquainted with him were glad
TO see him back. Yesterday he was at his
desk. buried to his ears in business, with
his hat tipped on the back OF his head ana
a pleasant smile on his face. His first
remark when his friends came in 10 shake
hands with him, was, ''have fresh cigar,
and he would point to an open box OF
Havanas on his desk. Mr.. Teasdale has
been one of the hardest working railroad
officials in the city. and it was through
assiduous attention to routine business that
his health was so badly impaired as to
necessitate recreation and dissolution from
business cares. He left st. Paul several
weeks ago for the South, but he found such
beneficial medical treatment IN Chicago that
he stopped there and under careful nursing
rapidly improved and is once more back IN
the harness evidently as ambitious as be-
fore. but more cautious. He appears to be
in good health, and with the exception OF a
weakness in one leg, says he feels quite like
himself again. During Mr.. Teasdale's aD-
sence Chief Clerk Mccullough has per-
formed the duties of his Office with COM
mendable proficiency.

Cniform standard Needed.

A determined effort is being made oy the
railway companies to secure the general
acceptance OF uniform standards Tor the
construction of their equipment. Since
:he conclusion to reduce the guage OF
Southern roads to standard there is prob
IbiIitv that the exchange of freight cars
will be much greater than it ever was De,
fore. The success of the movement would
enable the roads to use automatic car
couplers, and by this act many lives would
be saved each year. The freight cars now
in use represent a large variety OF Styles
and it would be very expensive. If not al
together impracticable, to remodel them TO
a common standard. 1t would, however,
not require an excessively large outlay to
fix up the cars used in through business so
that they would be practically the same on
the various roads exchanging business. IL
appears that the profitable life II a freight
car scarcely exceeds six years. hence begin
ming the work at once the change IN new
rolling stock alone would bring the desired
end in a few years.

Experience as a Teacher.

Last winter when the consular reorgani-
Zation bill was under consideration in the
committee on foreign affairs the chief Of the
consular bureau appeared before the com
mittee by request for the purpose OF eX-
planning some of the features of the bill.
Seeing that there was marked opposition to
some Of the important suggestions con-
tained in the measure, he said: "Gentle-
men, take the liberty of expressing one
sincere wish, aud IL is that every member OF
this committee could occupy a consular
position for two years, then be reelected to
Congress, and have the honor of serving on
this committee. If such thing were done
would vouch for it that every suggestion
looking to the improvement OF the service
contained in this bill would be reported
favorably to the House, ana each OF you
would earnestly sustain the measure with
vote and voice." This is multum in parvo,
and suggests thought or two In regard to
the new estimates Of the Department OF
State which, after brief consideration by
the committee on foreign affairs, have been
reported to the House with the wisdom and
value of the important suggestions reduced
TO a minimum.
Imagine Mr.. Perry Belmont, with no
means Of support save his consular salary,
discharging the duties of the consulate at
Antwerp for 81, 500 per annum, and, owing
TO the great volume of business transacted
there, compelled to pay five or six hun
dred dollars a year for extra clerk hire out
of his own pocket.
tl,n n1
gart without his plethorlc bank account and
permit him to spend two years in the consul
atewith the extra expenses necessarily accru-
ing by the presence of large American
colony. Upon his return to his present
position he would use his well-known elo-
quence and wide personal influence to real
ize the wishes Of the Department OF State
in its efforts to improve the service.
Commission the Hon. r. r. Hit as in.
spector to visit some of the lower grade
consulates now occupied by foreigners
who are manufacturing and shipping to
the United States the same class Of goods
priced in invoices which they are daily
called upon to examine and legalize, aud
when he returns again 10 the committee on
foreign relations he will sustain every sug-
gestion which may aim at placing such
offices on a salarled basis, and thus di-
yorce them from business. His keen sense
Of justice would see the necessity OF de-
stroying the seandalous system that au-
thorizes one foreign manufacturer and
shipper to sit in judgment, not only upon
all other manufacturers and shippers In his
consular district, but places under his direct
National Republican., 1886-12-18

supervision the private commercial transac-
tions Of many American importers.
There is MIR. Grain, Of Texas, who was a
good friend of the service last winter. 1t
would strengthen his desire TO advance the
service greatly II he could be sent out as
minister resident TO one of the missions
where there is no secretary Of legation. Let
him come back TO the committee two years
hence and tell his experience in his own
way. His successor would get secretary
Of legation on the grounds Of 'absolute
necessity, robust decency, and pungent
common sense"
Thus all the honorable members Of the
committee might be sent abroad, aud, re-
turning, there would be one. common re-
suit, except, perhaps, in the case of Mr..
Singleton. The members of the committee
will know why Mr.. Singleton is singled out
as an exception.

"SCIENTIFio Work by Southern Gentle
men" is the caption under which the Pitts
burg Commercial Gazette pleasantly dis
courses on the tender consideration OF
southern newspapers toward their party
friends. Recently q mob broke into tho
jail of Washington county, Texas, and TAX
ing out three negro prisoners hanged them
to pecan tree. The Brennan Banner of
Dec. 8, in its account of the affair, says
that when the jailer came to the door he
was confronted by "three masked gentle
men, 1t is further stated that "the ne
groes were scientifically hanged" and "new
drawers, undershirts, socks, and nice
--a.Ouus were ptnvnuseu al4u SuOu common
collins procured and the bodies prepared
for burial, after which they were turned
over to their friends and relatives" Our
Pittsburg contemporary, after stating the
interesting facts reported by the Banner,
remarks:
It will be seen that everything was done In
the most gentlemanly style, The charge
against the negroes thus scientifically disposed
Of was that they were concerned In au election
row. There was heavy Republican majority
poled in Flewellen district, and n party of
masked gentlemen were engaged in destroying
the ballot box when they were fired upon by
the colored people, killing one and wounding
two. The lynching duly followed, and rs the
Banner Observes ut is regarded as one of those
occurrences that could not well be avoided"

Tax on Sugar and Tobacco.

Senator j. r. Mcpherson, In answer to
circular Of the NATIONAL REPUBLICANS,
asking his opinion upon the propriety of
removing the tax on sugar and tobacco,
refers us to his speech In the Senate last
Monday. In that speech Senator MePher-
son opposes the removal OF the sugar tax,
and predicts that "with the retention of the
duty on sugar where it is to-day, within
five years from to-day nine-tenths of the
entire sugar product consumed in this
country will be produced in this country"
The senator is careful TO explain that this
increased product will be In beet, not cane
sugQr, abiding TO the fact that beet sugar
is made in California at cost OF 400 cents
per pound, AID that In New Jersey stiBlu-
lated by a state bounty, sugar has been "pro-
duced proatably."

The Stanford University.

The September number OF "The Re-
sources Of California" published In San
Francisco by j. p. II. Wentworth, is an ex-
ceptionally interesting and valuable maga-
zine. Itcontains full account OF the muni6-
cent donation by Senator Leland Stanford
and his wife for the founding and endowing
the Iceland Stanford, ir., University" with
excellent steel engrsvlngs and short
sketches Of the lives Of the twenty-four
trustees elected to take charge OF the prop
erty.
Senator Stanford had carefully pre-
pared general law passed by the California
legislature called "the endowment act"
under which he and his wife made the grant
for the university. This act and the grant
are given in full, with the proceedings OF
the final meeting Of the board Of trustees
accepting the trust The law is q model
one that might well be copied by other states.
Some of the leading men OF the Pacific
coast, like Justice Field, Judge Sawyer, Of
the United States circuit court; ex-senator
Stewart, ex-Representative Horace Davis,
Judge Matthew p. brady, Charles f.
Crocker, are among the trustees who now
have In charge this noble benefaction.
The grant for this university is the largest
ever made, either by nation or an indi-
vidual, for any educational purposes, the
property conveyed consisting OF $4,000
acres Of land, worth many million dollars,
and still other millions being secured to the
trustees by the wills Of Senator Stanford
and his wife.
The aim OF the founders has been 70 es.
tablish an institution OF learning in Callfor-
MIA which shall equal, II not exceed, any in
existence, and they have devoted large
portion Of their immense wealth to this pur'
pose, besides giving their personal attention.
The mournful reason of this splendid do
nation, the expressed wishes and death ol
their son and only child, is touchingly given
in the granting act, aud children OF future
generations will be taught to oremember with
| gratitude the names Of Leland Stanford,
| jr., and Of his loving father and mother
who devoted millions to perpetuate hl'
name and carry out his wishes
