MIR. Ouay's Candidate.

The impression has got abroad that Mr..
John Wanamaker, of Philadelphia, has been
asked to accept the portfolio of the navy,
and has accepted. Mr.. Wauamaker is a
good business man, but will he make good
cabinet offirera A story has found its way
into the public prints that he wanted to be
Secretary Of the Navy, and that Mr.. Quay
wanted him to have that position because,
within the next four years, contracts in
voving immense sums Of money will be
made for new war vessels, and for guns for
the navy, and that Mr.. Quay desired a
Pennsylvania man at the head Of the navy
department 50 that Pennsylvania men
would have the best chance Of getting these
contracts. This story may have no foun-
dalton, but Gen. Harrison, nevertheless,
should be on his guard against another
scandal like that which was connected with
the navy when Mr.. Robson bad the man
agement Of it. Mr.. Robson spent good
many millions Of dollars, but when he went
out Of office he left very little to show for
the money.
1t is alleged that Mr. Quay managed Mr.
Wauamaker's case very shrewdy. He
called on Gen. Harrison at Indianapolis for
the purpose, it is understood. Of urging Mr..
Wsnamaker for the navy department. He
could hardly have received a satisfactory
answer, because Mr.. Wanamaker an
nounoed his purpose last week of going TO
Europe to stay three or four months. He
even bought a ticket on a steamer that
sailed last Saturday. 1t is suspected that
he had no intention of leaving the country
for any sucn length of time, but that Mr..
Quay determined 10 see what Gen. Harri-
sons purpose was with respect TO Mr.
Wanamaker and SO had the latter to
announce that he was going TO Eu-
rope to remain several months. II
this was Mr.. Quay's scheme it
was successful, because Gen. Harrison inn
mediately invited Mr. Wanamaker to In
dianapois. 1t is not improbable that the
chief republican organ of Pennsylvania, the
Philadelphia Press, did Mr. Quay no more
than justice, few years ago,
when, not being quite so much of
an admirer of his as it IS now, it
referred frequently, in speaking of him, to
the memories Of the pardon board" and
the management of the Pennsylvania treas
ury, and said, that if Mr. Quay were nom
| mated for United States senator every
democratic stump and newspaper would
ring with the echoes of the riot bribery
and the pardon board. And, what is still
more important, snch a canpai IN would
| inevitably lift the lid from the administra-
ton of the treasury itself, and uncover Sc
crets before which republicans would stand
| dumb
Yes, if Mr. Quays man is appointed Sec
Rotary Of the Navy, Gen. Harrison, if he is
wise, will keep a close watch on that branch
of his administration.

An Essay on Breathing.

A boy IA years old recently imported from
Kentucky handed the following in as q compost
ton on Breathing" The instruction was:
''fell all you can about the breathing He
said Breath is made ofIair We breathe with
our lungs our lights, our liver and our kidneys.
II it wasn't for our breath we would die when
we slept. Our breath keeps the life going
through the nose when we are asleep. Boys
that stay in room all day should not breathe
They should wait until they get out Of doors
Boys in room make bad unwhoesome air
They make carbonicide. Carbonicide is poisoner
than mad dogs. A heap of soldiers was in d
black hole ia India and a carbonicide got in
that there hole and killed nearly every one afore
morning. Girls kill the breath with cOrsets that
squeeze the diagram Girls can't hOller or run
ike boys because their diagram is squeezed too
much. II was girl I'd ruther be boy, SO
can holler and run and have a great big dia-
gram"

1t Reminded Mr. Allen of a Story.

FROM tue IftttuIetDNtQ tunes.
The day after the last national election Sena-
tor Blackburn and Representative Allen of Mis-
sissippi--a man who is described by the Ken
lucky senator as the wittiest and lonelieSt-loOk-
ing man he has ever met-were together in the
capitol building, when they were approached by
young Editor Hearst, who exctedly showed
them a telegram from his father, the California
Senator. The message ran in this way:
LAS sure as there is a God in heaven Grover
Cleveland has carried California"
At that time il was well known that New
York state had been carried by Harrison. and
II made mo earthly difference what the voters
of California had determined their verdict
should be. Allen read the telegram, and then
handing it back to the young San Francisco
editor, said to himiSolemny:
Young man, your fathers words remind me
of an acquaintance of mine who went out to
Colorado and was thrown from bronco pony
and killed. His companions sent this tele-
graphic message to his widow:
Jim has been thrown by bronco, and his
neck, both legs, and one arm are broken
Several hours later they sent the widow this
additional telegraphlc message:
Later particulars Matter not as bad as
first reported. Jims arm was not broken"

Messrs. w. X. Vanderbilt and Christian
Roberts, of New York, seem likely to become
involved in a lawsuit, and as each is mil
lionaire, they probably would make the fur
fly. Millionaire Vanderbilt owns sum
mer residence at Oakdale l.. l., and SO does
Millionaire Roberts. The residences are on
adjoining lands. One of Millionaire Van
derbit's pets at the Long Island home was
handsome st. Bernard dog, and the other
day the dog straycd into Millionaire Roberts,
yard and was promptly killed. When Mil
lionaire Vanderbilt heard of this he became
angry. In fact, he was furious, and he
wrote Millionaire Roberts a scathing letter,
tesides intimating that he would take the
matter into the courts In consequence,
the New York lawyers are in a state of ex-
pectancy.

A Society Drama,


$50, count, you desire to marry my
daughter p
These words came from the lips of Reginald
de M0ntmorency, the millionaire banker, as he
stood in the sumptuously furnished parlor of
his mansion on street, facing distinguished
gentleman of foreign appearance. The latter
fervently replied:
Yes, yes, 1 do
I'll let you know my decision tomorrow: by
the way, count, my daughter and l have ar
ranged for little supper al Ormsbys cafe this
evening. VIII you join us p
with pleasure"
Gladys de Montmorency reclined on an excel
emily upholstered ottoman, in a boudoir, the
furnishing of which must have cost good deal
of money.
There was far away look in her eye; there
was faraway look in her other eye
She was thinking of one who was dearer to
her than life She was thinking of the splendid
Count Bologni, with his luStrous Italian eyes
and of the excellent chewing gum he had given
her.
She was summoned to the library, where her
father, the opulent banker, stroked her silken
hair and said
"Gadys, the count has asked for your hand ."
That's business, father; there are no flies on
the count"
Are you sure, my daughter, that he is your

Myriads of lights were cleaning in Ormsby's
magnificent cafe when Mr.. de Montmorency err
tered with Gladys on his arm queenly in her
beauty and grace.
The count was already there, and the three
sat down TO table together.

Gladys could feel the color leave her cheeks
She knew that thA moment for the great test

Even the stern lips Of her father quiyered and
the cold perspiration was on his brow as he said:

Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts,, has
written letter in which he says the negroes
ought to have all of the rights of citizen
ship, including the holding of office, that
the white people have, but that ne doesn't
think they ought to push their claims for
office. That is the position taken by nearly
every other republican. The republican
statesmen will stand out boldly for the
rights of the negro SO long as those rights
don't prevent white republicans from mo-
nopolizing the Offices or SO long as the
negroes insist on stopping at the same hotels
or attending the same schools with the
white people in the south only.

The Pullman Deal.

The latest big deal in the railway world
is that by which the Pullman Palace Car
Company gets control of all the parlor and
sleeping car companies doing business in
this country, except the Wagner company.
The deal was completed in Wall street on
Wednesday. Among the railroad magnateS
present when the contract was made were
John H. Inman, president Of the Richmond
Terminal; Samuel Thomas, president Of
the East Tennessee Virginia and Georgia;
Mr.. Schiff, president of the Cincinnati
Southern and George NJ. Pullman, presi-
dent of the Pullman company.
The Pullman cars, in accordance with
this DEAL will be placed upon all the south
ern roads, and upon great majority of the
roads in the west and east. The Mann
boudoir and the Woodruff parlor cars will
probably disappear altogether, or will be
sent TO remote localities to be used until
they are worn out.
The Central railroad of this state has
always had its own sleeping cars, but under
the new arrangement it will run Pullman
cars. The change probably will not be
greatly regretted by the travelling public,
provided the railroad commission requires
the Pullman management to leave the up
per berth unopened when not taken.

Although the Central railroad gained a
complete victory in the suit in which the
minority stockholders of the Savannah,
Griffin and North Alabama railroad sought
to have the Central enJoined from foreclos-
ing mortgage which 1t holds upon that
road, and Its stock ia it, and its mortgage
declared to be worthless, on the ground
that there is a constitutional provision pre-
venting it from owning such stock and
mortgage, the decision did not turn upon
the point upon which the minority stock
holders basel their case. The lower court
granted the injunction, and for
the reason alleged by the stockholders,
but the supreme court found that
the minority stockholders had acGuiesced in
the ownership Of the Central by years of
silence; in other words, that if they had
any such rights as they claimed they had
slept upon them SO long that they conld not
now enforce them. 1t was also shown that
some Of the minority stockholders had &C
quired their stock since proceedings were
begun by the Central to foreclosa its mort
gage. They knew what they were buying,
and could not plead that they were taken
by surprise. The fact that they purchased
the stock while the foreclosure suit was
pending was an admission that they acqui-
esced in the Central's ownership of securi-
ties OF the road.
The court did not decide the question
whether the Centraps holdings in the road
We're in violation of the constitution, be-
cause there was no necessity for doing So
1t will hardly be questioned that the points
upon which the case turned were decided
in accordance with the law. The minority
| stockholders were not in a position to urge
the point upon which they relied.

The transatlantic steamship agents in
this country object to the Ford BILL and
they don't hesitate to say so in rather strong
terms. 1t may be remarked just here that
this was TO be expected. The more immi-
grants who come TO this country, the more
money the steamship companies make. The
immigrants may be very undesirable ones,
and they may not have a dollar when
they get here, but they must pay their pas

to defeat the Ford bill simply because the
transatlantic steamship companies object
TO it,
