Chandler's Ear.

1t is probable that Senator Blackburn
did not pull Senator Chambers ear, al
though some of the Washington CORE
spondents assert that he did There is nc
doubt, however, that Senator Blackburn
applied to him epithets such as he would
apply only to a man for whom he had the
greatest contempt. If he did not pull
Chandler's ear it was because he did not
want to be called into the police court to
answer to a charge of assault and battery.
Very few people, however, would have
sympathized with Chandler if his ear had
been pulled.
Chandler is as irritating as a New Jersey
mosquito and as venomous as tarantula.
He never seems to be happy except when he
is attacking the south, or somebody identi-
fled with the south. Before 1876 he was
known as a shrewd, little politician, and in
that year he was sent TO Florida to capture
that state for Hayes. The constant reference
to his conduct in that state has made him
hate the southern people, and his whole
effort now seems to be T. find ways to an
noy them.
He made a mistake when he assaied SEN
ator Blackburn. That senator is one of
the most aimable Of men. He Is courteous
in debate and honorable in his dealings.
He is quick, however, to resent any rehec-
ton upon himself or the people of his sec
ton.
During the present winter there has been
an impression in Washington that Chand-
Ter was trying to make himself offensive to
southern senators, and was inviting attacks
from them, with the hope of increasing his
popularity In his own state. He is a candidate
for reelection, with the chances OF success
against him. He believes, probably, that
If he can make it appear that he is especially
objectionable to southern congressman,
sympathy for him Lnay be aroused sufti-
GENTLY to secure his return to the Senate.
This is not a manly way of electioneering,
but 1t may suit Chandler.

The New York Scandal.

The ceiling scandal in the New York
legislature has reached huge proportions.
Facts enough have been obtained TO Justify
the assertion that the state was swindled
out of more than 800, 900 in the single item
of a new ceiling in the hall of the House
Some of the members of the House must
have received share of the spoils, because
an extraordinary effort has been made by a
few of them to defeat the investigation
The chairman Of the committee which has
charge of the investigation has thrown all
sorts of difficulties in the way Of those who
| are trying to get at the truth, and there is
| a suspicion that the speaker is in sympathy
with those who are trying to shield the
guilty parties.
1t was long time before the investigating
committee forced the contractor who built
the ceiling to produce his books. 1t did so
only after the House had passed a resolution
commanding it TO do SO. When the books
were shown it was found that they had been
''doctored." The fraud was easily exposed,
| however, and the contractor was so con-
| fused that he left no doubt on the mind of
anybody who saw him that he had deliber-
ately robbed the state.
The legislature, if it contains men of the
right stamp, will not stop the inquiry until
| it finds out the whole truth about the cell
ing, and the guilty parties are brought to
| trial.
| The people Of New York have suffered
enough from the dishonest men who are
elected to make their laws. When the CAPT
tol was begun it was understood that it
should not cost more than $4,0O0,00O. The
legislature managed to squander that
amount before the walls were as
high as the first story. Up to date SIS, 0OO,-
600 have been spent, and the building is not
yet finished. The capitol at Washington
has cost only $l3,O0O,OO0. 1t is probable
that if the money appropriated for The New
York capitol had been honestly spent
$6,000,0O0 would have been sufficient to
meet all demands in its behalf

MIR. wanamaker and the Cabinet.


Mr.. Wanamaker has steadily refused to
talk to reporters about the money ne raised
for Mr.. Quay to assist in electing Gen. Har-
rison, though he has repeatedly said that he
knew that all he gave and induced others
to give was used for honorable purposes"
A friend of Mr.. Wananaker, however,
says that the latter told him how he came
to raise money for the republican campaign
fund. 1t seems, according to the story of
this friend that Mr.. Quay sent for MIR.
Wanamaker. and told him that the republi-
cans were greatly in need of money, and
that if he Quay had certain amount he
could secure Gen. Harrison's election. Mr..
Quay admitted that without money the
! election of Gen. Harrison was very doubt
full.
Mr.. Wanamaker undertook to raise the
money, on condition that he should be per-
mitted to establish a manufacturers bu-
reau so as to insure the spending of the
money in an honorable way. The bureau
was established, and Mr.. Wanamaker
turned over to Mr.. Quay 100000 Mr..
Wanamaker said that he did not pretend
that he knew how every dollar of it was
SPENT and he didn't want to.
Does Mr.. Wanamaker know how any of
it was spentl Isn't it fact that all he
knows is that the money was given to Mr..
Quay with the understanding that it should
not be Improperly used! Can he say that a
very large part of it, or even all Of it, was
not used to buy votes' Does Mr.. Wanna.
maker know how single dollar of the
money was used9 1t is probable that he
doesn't, and he himself says he doesn't
want to know how all of it was used.
The significant point in the talk attrib-
uted to Mr.. Wanamaker is that the money
be turned over to Mr.. Quay secured Gen.
Harrison's election. Mr. Quay said that
without money Gen Harrison would not be
elected. The money was furnished and
Gen. Harrison was elected. Is not this
statement of Mr.. Wanamaker's sufficient to
justify the conclusion that money elected
Gen. Harrison, and that a very consider
able part of the Wanamaker fund was used
in buying votes!
Mr.. Wanamaker finds it unpleasant to
have it said of him that he would never
have been heard of in connection with Gen.
Harrison's cabinet if he had not filed the
treasury of the republicans He doesn't
like to have it said of course that he bought
place in the cabinet, but now that he has
become politician he must take the bitter
with the sweet. 1t would certainly be hard
to find a well informed man who does not
think that Mr.. Wanamaker got place in
the cabinet, assuming that he has been
offered a cabinet portfolio. because of the
money he raised for Mr.. Quay.

Color Line Problems.

A few DAYS ago there was "A discussion Of
a color line problem in the Texas legisla-
ture that is attracting attention. A bill
was passed by tue Senate requiring the
railroads of that state to provide sepsra e
cars for whites and blacks. 1t was re-
ported favorably to the House, but that
body declined to pass it 1t was opposed
by both democrats and republicans, among
the republicans being several colored rep
resentati YES.
Some OF the democrats declared that
! they would as soon sit beside a colored man
or woman in a railway car as in a street
car. The street car question settled itself
several years ago, and they had no doubt
that the railway car question would also. il
the agitation Of it was not continued by
laws keeping the whites and blacks separate.
The colored members said that they were
well treated by the white people in their re-
spective counties, and thought that if the
! question, whether the two races should oc-
cupy separate or the same cars, we're not
kept alive by the constant agitation of it,
there would very soon be very little heard
of it.
One of the reasons advanced for separat-
ing the races in railway cars was that col
ored men sometimes took seats beside white
women with the view of annoying them.
It was answered that rowdyism of this
kind should be dealt with just as rowdyism
Of any other kind is.
There is not much probability that the
bill will be passed. IL was referred to a

would not be brought forward again.
Several race issues of more or less i'm
portance have been satisfactorily ad justed
without any serious trouble, and no doubt
others win be when they present themselves
in such a shape that their settlement be-
comes imperative. The whites of the south
understand the blacks much better than
the whites of the north do, and they are
much better qualified in every way to ad-
| just race differences.
If the Hears and Chambers were sincere in
their expressions of friendship for the
blacks, they would let the blacks of the
south alone. They cannot help seeing that
the whites and blacks in the south are get
ting along very well together, and that the
blacks are much better off than they were
when the carpet bag politicians kept them
continually excited over alleged grievances
or would be if federal agents. under the
returning board system for which the
Sherman bill provides, were sent among
them to urge them to vote the republican
ticket.
1t is doubtful, however, if the repu blican
leaders have any desire to advance the well
fare of the blacks. They want the black
vote. If they get that they will be salts
fed, even though the interests of the blacks
are sacrificed in getting it.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-All Washington is
splitting It's sides to-day over story of social
romance and misadventure which has just
leaked out
Mr.. George Barclay of the British legation
has of late been sufficiently epriS of Miss Letter,
the beautiful western heiress who has turned
all Washington heads this winter
Mr.. Barclay is the attractive young gentle
man who won fame and money at the Kncker-
booker club in New York by backing himself to
drive TO the Brunswick hotel, dress for dinner
and return inside of ten minutes. He did &C
tually accomplish the feat inside of seven
minutes. 1t is undoubtedly owing to this uerv-
Gus haste abnormally developed in an other
wise rather slow nature that Mr.. Barclay has
now to accept his present modification.
1t seems that on Wednesday night Mr.. Bar
clay felt the approach Of the cold wave, ard
purchased some of those warm woollen gar
ments which stick closer than a brother to a
cold mans legs. The same afternoon he
ordered box of roses to be sent t. his lodgings
Late for dinner, as usual, he rushed home,
dashed off pretty note to Miss Letter, saying
Wear these this evening for my sake and
handed the note and the box containing the
woOllen goods to his servant. who duly delivered
them, while the box of roses remained upon
Mr.. Barclays table,
Although, perhaps, not quite so grievous an
international affront as Lord Sackvie put upon
us, the views of the British foreign Office upon
this latest misft in diplomacy is awaited with
some anus ement and anxiety. AS for Mr.
Barclays personal explanations, they are, of
course, uncomfortable.

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1889.
The Quarantine Station.

Before the council authorizes the expendi-
ture of any considerable amount Of money
at the present quarantine station, would 1t
not be advisable for it to find out whether
or not the harbor lines, which are to be
established soon, will compel the removal of
the station to another sitei The engineer
in charge Of the harbor improvement has
thrown out suggestion with regard TO the
matter that ought to be carefully considered.
If the station can not remain permanently
where it is, it is folly to place costly plant
there.
The wiser plan would be to select a site
that is certain to be a permanent one, so
that the money spent upon it would not be
virtually thrown away. Can such a site be
obtained! 1t has been suggested that Cock
spur island has even greater advantages
for a quarantine station than the place
where the alton is now situa ed. The
state has control Of part of this island,
and, if necessary, it is probable that per-
mission can be obtained to use that part of
it which is controlled by the government.
There will be no difficulty in getting DOS
session of the part owned by the state. The
first thing to be determined is whether the
part controlled by the state is a satisfactory
site for the station, and if it isn't, the next
thing to be determined is whether the gov
eminent will consent to the use of that part
which it controls.
Doubtless the council is aiming to do
what is best for the city's interest, but in
retaining the present site may it not be
putting the city to the expense of having to
select and improve another site at an early
day! Now that the quarantine matter is
being discussed, why not settle it, if posi-
BILE, so that it will not be the occasion of
controversy again for years?
Some of the quarantine regulations ought
| to be modified. To insure the city against
the introduction of diseases of an infectious
or contagious character it is not necessary
to draw arbitrary lines and declare that
vessels from ports within those lines shall
be excluded from the port for certain
number of days during certain periods of
the year. Vessels from healthy ports in
side of those lines should be treated exactly
as those are from healthy ports outside of
them.

with quarantine is to protect the health OF
the city, and its next is to throw as few OBJ
stacles in the way of commerce as possible.
There should be the greatest commercial
freedom that is possible without exposing
the city to danger. Every facility for dis
chargiog ballast should be provided, and
unnecessary delays at quarantine should
| be avoided.

A Singular Race.
From the London Dailp Ners

From the London Daily Neirs.
At the village of IIamme, in Westphalia,
most singular wager has been made and won.
In the sporting records of Europe there has
been no such race. and its result will open for
us quite new chapter on relative speed. Every
one knows the rate at which pigeons fly, and
almost kings ransom has changed hands on
the issue Of their speed. Last week the race
was between pigeons and bees. A pigeon fan
cier and a bee master each backed his favorite
racer. The course was three miles and half
the distance between the two villages of Ry-
nern and Hamme, and a dovecote which hap
pened to be near a hive was selected winning
post. The race was intended to be level, but in
effect the bees were handicapped. 1t was very
difficult to identify them, and, though rolling
them in flour before they started on their course
made them easily recognized on their arrival,
it must have somewhat retarded their flight.
Nearly every one backed the pigeons and there
W as great excitement in the ring which asse m
bed around the winning post. The favorites-
were nowhere. The first bee in twenty
five seconds before the first pigeon and three
other bees before the second. The others were
not claSsed
