ST.. AUGUSTINE. Fla. Nov. l6.-It is
fair to presume that the plan OF the
government in sending Geronimo and
his Apaches TO Florida for safe keep
ing will be eventually successful. The
savages are unused to the climate and
are dying of at the rate of about four
a day. They are a hard lot and it is
regarded unsafe to allow them much
liberty. The close confinement is very
severe on them, their very filthy bab-

a dozen others Of his band are confined

LONDON, Dec. 1o-Lord Salisbury, in an
address delivered at the City Conservative
club Wednesday evening, said that Ireland
was laboring under the evil that her popula-
ton had long been deceived, and nothing but
the strong arm of the law, persistently ap-
piled, could redeem the people from that de-
ception. 1t was not a question of home rule
with which they had to deal, but the keep
ing of others money in their own pockets.
Gould the founding of a nation be based on
organized employment said Lord Salisbury.
Il am glad this English people have not been
deceived or confused as to the Justice of
Irish claims. 1t is certain that we will OBJ
tain the support of many men who hitherto
sympathized with the Irish in their aspira-
tions, but who will feel that they are resist

THAT portion of President Clevelaud's
message which attracts the most atten>
ton is the passage relating to the sur
plus revenue 1t treats of the most vital
question now before the people. The
president shows that the surplus is ac>
cumulating at the rate of one hundred
millions year Moreover. owing tc the
rapid payment of the three per cent.
bonds. the application OF any portion of
the surplus revenue to the extinction of
the national debt will be impossible for a
number of years Under these circum-
stances the accumulation of money in The
treasury will go on more rapidly than be-
fore, unless some steps are Immediately
taken to reduce the taxes. The reduc
ton was one of the declared purposes of
the democratic party in 1884. and the
manifest justice of the democratic pos
ition on this question had much to do
with the result. If the democratic house
does not shortly pass bill to relieve the
people of a portion OF the burden. the
democrats will be badly handicapped in
the presidential campaign two wears
hence. The president has done his duty +.
He has strongly pointed out in his an
nual message the dangers aud evils of
an enormous surplus revenue 1t now
remains for the democratic house to full
fill the pledges made to the people in

TIE DAILY ARGUS.
JOHN w. POTTER.
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1885.

THE charges upon sleeping cars have
always been so large that they should
have covered the service of attendants,
as well as the use of a berth. Yet every
generous minded person has felt under a
moral obligation to fee the porter. be-
cause he knew that the porter'semployers
gave him so small wages that unless the
passengers came to his rescue, he
would be shamefully underpaid. The
Wisconsin Central railroad company has
just announced new departure in this
matter. 1t has decided to increase the
pay of the porters and walters employed
on its sleeping and diniug-cars to an
amount which will give them ample
compensation for their work, and 10 pros
hibit them from receiving tips" from
passengers Orders nave been issued to
them TO receive no money from any pas
senger, except for backing shoes, when
requested" to do so, for which service
they are permitted to accept ten cents.
This is practical way of dealing with
the fee problem, and it is the only prac-
tical way.

resistance was made when Sheriff John
Boyd, OF Christian county Kentucky, went
to arrest William Morrison, of cambridge.
William was wanted for misdemeanor,
and Deputy Sheriff Hanberry had narrowly
escaped an ambuscade in attempting his ar
rest single-handed. Sheriff Boyd, in com
pany with Deputies Wiley and Claiborne,
rode out to the Morrison farm to make the
arrest. AS they rode up the man wanted

standing bravely by his side while the bullets
rained thick and fast about them. In all
about fifty shots were exchanged.
Claiborne had his clothes literally shot to
pieces, and he sustained slight injuries, while
fifteen bullet holes were counted in Wiley's
hat. 1t was fierce fight, but finally the
Morrisons, fearing further continuation OF
the struggle. surrendered and were brought

JAY GOULD ON GRESHAM.
HE THINKS HE HAS AN ATTACK OF
PRESIDENTIAL FEVER,

And Says the Road to the White House
Begins by Abuse of Himself and Russell
Sage-The Railway Magnate Says the
Charges Against Him Were without
Foundation.
New YORK, Dec 10 Mr. Jay Gould read
the decision OF Judge Gresham in the Wabash
suit Wednesday with great apparent careful,
ness: Il never met Judge Gresham he said,
"and know little about him. Some of the
W abash bondholders have been here and
from what they have told me about him
think he must be suffering from a severe at
tack of the presidential fever The road to
the White House begins at abuse of Gould
and Sage. IL does not cost much to call us
names, and these men with political aspira-
tions think it has great weight with the peo-
pie. But tie charges against me were
wholly without foundation Judge Gresham
lays great stress upon the fact that | was in
terested in the Ellsworth Coal company and
on it he bases the charge that we sought to
benefit that company at the expense
of the Wabash. ! have done pre-
cisely the same thing on the Missouri Pa
cific, and l shall do it again whenever
shall have the opportunity. When l en-
tered upon the control of the Missouri Pa
citic the company was o btaining all its coal
from outside sources, and one of the first
things did was to secure coal in our own
territory. The result has been that the COM
pany gets its coal at about half the price il
formerly paid, while the business that has
been developed brings us in revenue of
8, 800, 900 year That is precisely the case
on the Wabash. That company was paying
81 % a ton for coal, and it gets it now for
less than dollar on account of the develop
ment of mines in its own territory. pro
NOTED the Ellsworth company, but l have
had no interest in it for some time. The
price of coal was not only reduced, but as in
the case of the Missouri Pacific, the traffi
resulted from the development of the mines
increased the earning power of the road As
l said the decision is based on something be-
side the facts, and probably on the political
ambition of the judge l am not concerned
about the charges against me, because
know they are baseless."
