MINING FRAUD EXPOSED
The Governor Unenrths the Thing
In Arkansas.

According to the Mining Review a
big mining fraud has been exposed
IN the State of Arkansas. That jour
nal says: "F'or some two or three
years there have been many reports
written and published concerning
gold and silver in Arkansas, and dur
ing this time there have been incor-
porated three companies with CAPT
talization OF more than $lll, 100000
for the ostensible purpose of working
gold and silver mines in that State,
and the probability is that large
amounts of money have been paid by
innocent parties for this stock. Most
fattering reports have been pub
lished in the local and State papers;
mills have been erected, and every
element Of the mining boom has been
industriously worked. One of the
peculiar features OF this locality has
been noted and even commented up
on, and that is that with the reported
high assays, the rich deposits OF ore
and the large expenditure of money,
the results have not been satisfactory
and that no dividends have been
paid. Recently the Governor asked
of the State Geologist for a state
meni of the true character OF the So
called gold aud silver field OF Arkan.
sas, and a most thorough examination,
ON the part of the state officials has
developed :he fact that there is but
little ground FOR the promises made
and that the Arkansas delusion is one
81 the most colossal structures Of the
kind ever built upon such a small
foundation

The Retort Courteous.

When the sister of the governor of neigh
boring state was married, a few years ago, SAYS
the Topical 'Ialker' of the Pittsburg DispntCh
she received a great many valuable presents
and among them were many pieces of plate and
silverware of all sorts But particularly was
she overwhelmed with silver fruit spoons.
Beautifully chased gold-ined in every sort of
variety, were these spoons.
After the wedding, and when they had re-
turned from the honeymoon, the bride found
that she had no immediate use for half the
Silverware she possessed, especially as for the
time they were to live in her mothers house
SO she consigned some of it to the care of a
bank in town. The fruit spoons all went to the
vault.
few months later she received an invitation
to attend the wedding of a schoolmate in a
neighboring town. She knew she would have
to go TO New York to buy a suitable present.
and she didn't care about taking the Journey
Just then
All at once the idea came into her head that
she had great superfiuity Of fruit spoons Why
should she not send some of them to her school
mate for present? There seemed to be no OBJ
lection, so she sent the butler down to the hank
with orders to pick out pretty case of spoons.
The butler fulfilled his mission. None of the
presents were ticketed, so that it was altogether
impossible to tell from whom this particular set
of spoons had come.
The spoons travelled once more to hymeneal
altar, and the lady who sent them heard nothing
about them for several days Then she received
the following letter:
DEAR MADAM: | am very grateful IN vou for
returning the spoons. thought they were too
good for you when sent them to Won as n we'd
ding present, and 1t is honest for you to send
tnem DacK- Yours, etc.

The Fare on Pullman sleepers.

The Georgia railroad commission has de-
cided that it has no jurisdiction over the
Pullman palace car company, and the Tray
elers' protective association will have to
apply to some other tribunal if it still de-
sires to compel that company to reduce its
fare. One of the rules of the railroad com
mission is that the fare for berths in sleep
ing car shall not be more than 81 for 100
miles or less, and that for distances greater
than 100 miles it shall not exceed l cent a
mile for each berth. The charge of the
Pullman company is SO a night, or fraction
of night. for each berth. The question of
distance is not considered.
The Savannah post of the Travellers pro-
tective association undertook to see if the
railroad commission couldn't make the Pull
man company comply with the commissions
rule relative to fare. A commercial traveller
entered Pullman sleeper at Waycross, Ga,
and rendered the conductor in charge of the
car 81. That sum was refused and then So
was paid under protest. The case was
brought before the railroad commission.
and full hearing Of all the points involved
was had. The decision reached was that a
sleeping car company is not a common
carrier. Its legal status has not been clearly
defined, but it owes certain duties to the
public. These duties, however, are not
those of common carrier, because it does
not carry passengers nor contract to do 50.
1t simply contracts to furnish sleeping &C
commodations to those who apply for them.
Its obligations therefore are somewhat SINH
lar to those of a hotel or lodging house
keeper
The Georgia statute applies only to rail
roads in the state which own and manage
the sleeping cars attached to their trains
For this reason the railroad commission de-
cided that it had no jurisdiction over the
Pullman palace car company 1t has no
jurisdiction for another reason, which is
that the company Is not state corpora
ton. Under this decision the Pullman
company can charge a higher fare than
railroad companies within the state which
furnish sleeping accommodations for their
passengers.

The Fashionable Flowers.
From the Queen.


Roses are the favorite flowers of the day,
Gloire de DIXON first, and red and pink follow
ing. Syrlnga, with its almost overpowering
fragrance, may be seen in tall receptacles,
sharing popularity with garden peoples, red
rhododendrons, peonies and guelder roses all
now in natural bloom. The bamboo slaves of
various lengths for wall decorations, with in
cisons at distances filed with water look very
well with the graceful sprays of wisteira NOW
in its full beauty dropping from the apertures.
These bamboo articles can also be seen on the
table tied together in imitation of the glass
faggots, which, in white and colors have been
SO popular for more than a year. The tall,
white OK eye daisies from the fields rise from
tall receptacles, softened by the graceful grasses
that grow around them on their own native soil,
and are put in with them. The fashion of carry
ing a few loosely tied roses in the hand still

A Republican Stumbling Block.

The free whisky plank in the Chicago
platform promises to afford material for a
great deal of discussion. Very many repub-
licans do not approve it, and they are
taking occasion to say so. 1t is only be-
ginning to be fully understood, and the
more it is understood the less popular it ap-
pears to be. 1t is in effect that if, after
repeating the taxes on tobacco and spirits
used in the arts and for mechanical pur-
poses, and by revising the tariff laws so as
to check imports Of articles produced in
this country, there shall still remain a
revenue larger than is needed for the wants
of the government, the tax on whisky
shall be repealed rather than that any part
of the protective system shall be sur
rendered.
1t is certain that Blaine cannot agree to
this plank in the platform, and if he takes
the stump, as, it is understood. he proposes
to do, he will find it difficult to advocate it
in the face of his previous utterances with
respect to the whisky tax.
In the interview with him in Paris, in
which he commented on the Presidents
tariff message III response to a question
whether he would advise the repeal of the
whisky tax, he said:
No, | would not. Other considerations
than those of financial administration are
to be taken into account with regard to
whisky. There is "a moral side to 1t. To
cheaper the price of whisky is to increase
its consumption enormously. There would
be no sense in urging the reform wrought
by high license in many states if the national
government neutralizeS the good effect by
making whisky within reach of every one
at 90 cents gallon. Whisky would be
everywhere distilled if the surveillance of
the government were withdrawn by the
remission of the tax, and illicit sales could
not then be prevented even by policy as
rigorous and searching as that with which
Russia pursues the nihilists. 1t would de-
stroy high license at once in all the states
So long as there is whisky to tax.
! would tax it. The tax on whisky
by the federal government, with its sup
preston of all illicit distillation and conse-
quent enhancement Of price, has been n
powerful agent i'll the temperance reform
by putting it beyond the reach of so many.
Thousands of republicans in every state
approve Blaine's views on the whisky
tax, and the free whisky plank in the Chi
cago platform will be stumbling block to
the republican organs aud stump orators
throughout the campaign.

Natures Thoughtfulness.

From the Chicago Mail
His wife is back
No more at night
When seems to him the town somber sight,
Too dull and gray,
May he go forth with paint to make it bright
He's had his day;
His wife is back!
But who is that,
With glossy hat
And steps as springy as the step Of fawn,
Who leaves at night returning with the dawn ?
1t is the other man whose wife's just gonel
He'll see the painting donel
He have the fun.
The town shall never stay
So dull and gravy
His wife has gone
So gentle Nature makes
compensation sweet
She gives for what she takes,
And it is meet
As where the flower is plucked another springs
So she, providing for a myriad things
The town may not be left to stay
All dull ana gray;
One wife comes home to-day,
Another goes away.

Not a Bill of Jobs.

Senator Hoar does not believe that the
river and harbor bill is always full Of jobs,
and he is right, He has no sympathy with
the attacks which a few public men and
some newspapers make upon that bill as
regularly as it is reported from the river
ana harbor committee. The reason is that
he examines the bill, and knows something
OF the rivers and harbors for which it makes
provision, while they know nothing about
them whatever.
Doubtless appropriations are made for the
improvement of some streams which have
very little commercial Importance, but, as
Senator Hoar points out, these appropria-
items do not amount to per cent. of the
bill 1t is quite safe to assert That nine
tenths of those who make it a point to
create the impression that tho river and
harbor bill is full of jobs, would praise in
stead of condemning it, if they were to
carefully study each item and honestly ex-
press the conclusions they reached
Why should the bill be one of jobsl 1t is
true that members of Congress are anxious
to get appropriations for public works in
their respective districts, but an appro-
priatlon is very seldom obtained where
there is no report from an army engineer
recommending it. 1t will hardly DO said
that the engineers in charge of the river
and harbor improvements are trying to get
money ont of the treasury for jobs. They
have no interest in doing So None of the
money appropriated for rivers and harbors
goes into their pockets. Their duty is to
save the government as much money as
possible, and there is no doubt that they
perform this duty faithfully
The pending river and barber bill is the
largest ever reported A persistent effort
will be made to defeat it by those who
always oppose that bill, and if it gets
| through congress the President will he
| called upon to veto it. There is no reason
to doubt that congress will pass it, and if
| the President vetoes it he will make a very
serious mistake. 1t carries appropriations
| for two years and, therefore, must necessa-
rily be large If divided into two bills the
amount Of each would not be large enough
to excite unusual comment.
Public works in all parts Of the country
| have been virtually abandoned for months
| because OF the want Of money, and com
merce, in consequence, has suffered severely
The commerce Of this port, for instance, has
been greatly INSTRUCTED by the shoals which
! have formed in the harbor since work on
the harbor improvements ceased.
Money spent in the intelligent improve
ment of the rivers and harbors of the coun-
try is not thrown away. Facts which have
been presented to congress respecting the
benefits which have been derived from the
improvements made in Savannah harbor
show that the amount of the money value
of these benefits in a single year is greater
than that of all the appropriations which
have been made for the improvement of
the harbor No doubt showing equally
as satisfactory could be made for other
| harbors
