1t appears from our dispatches that tho
President has about made up his mind to
appoint Attorney General Miller to the
vacant supreme court justicesaip. The
thought Of occupying so prominent a place
must make M. Miller dizzy. He mast have
been greatly surprised when he found him
self member OF the cabinet The saying
that it is the une Ipected that happens las
often been present in his mind, doubtless
since no began to climb the ladde. Of fame.
If Mr. Miller had not been tie law part
ner of Gen. Harrison he would never have
been heard of outside Of Indianapolis There
are probably thousands of people in that
city who never heard of him until he began
to be talked about as Law Partner Miller.
If he made any considerable reputation as
a lawyer III Indiana the fact has never got
abroad.
MIR. Miller may have the making of Il
great judge in him Il is certainly to be
hoped ths. be has # it is the Presidents
intention TO elevate him to the supreme
bencl. II ne Should prove to be a failure
it would be said that the President used his
power to re varl bis frield's ald relatives.
And the list Of the Presidents relatives who
are getting int comfortable offices is grow
ing, aud promises - be formidable one.
Mr.. Miller has not vet mad time to show
whether or not he is fitted for the position
he at present occupies The impression is
that he is not. He is honest and faithful,
probably. but his legal knowledge and in
tellectual acquiremeats are hardly sufficient
to enable him to protect the interests Of the
yernment in the courts.
If the President is wise he will not per-
NIT personal friendship to dictate 50 i'm
portant an appointment as that Of supreme
court justice. 1t may be that he has an
exaggerated idea OF bis former law part
ner's fitness for a great Office. In that
case he would make Mr.. Miller chief justice

The memorial introduced into the Florida
legislature by Represen tative Moreno q day
or two age, having for its Object the indie
pendeuce OF Cuba, may have tlo effect OF
reviying the discussion Of toe question of
the purchase Of Cuba by this country. Mr.
Moseno's proposition is that Cubans shall
pay Spain 500, 100000 for Cuba, in TIVE ty
annual installments Of $4,000, 900 each, and
shall remain under the protection Of this
country until the money Is paid.
1t would be interesting to know where
Cubans are going to get 100000, ,00O If
Spain thought they could raise that amount
she would Increase the already heavy taxes
which she imposes upon them. II tie
Cubans could pay 100000 in a lump
sum Spain might probably talk with them,
lut there is no probability that they can do
anything Of the kind.
Bat Spain has never intimated that she
would yield all her rights in Cuba for $780,
Gj0,0J0 or any other SUN. She derives a
S l9ndid revenue from Cuba, and unless she
were paid great deal more than she is now
getting she would not sell the island to this
or any other country, or even to the
CuIans.
a year or more ago the MORNING NEWS
suggested the adv!ssbility Of this country's
making an eff lr5 to get control of Cuba,
not because Cuba would be n particularly
desirable acquisition, bu, in order to intro
duce such sanitary regulations into Havana
that she would cease to be a constant
menace to the health of this country. Spain
has not been approached on the question of
dsposlng Of the island because it is beloved
that she would be offended if proposition
to purchase it were made TO her.
1t is not probable that Mr.. Morenos
memorial will accomplish anything beyond
causing little talk among the Cubans in
Florida. Il is quite certain that this
country will not medile ia any
way in the affairs of Spain and tie
Cubans that will not be pleasant t.
Spain. 1t might purchase Cuba /;
the island wero in the market, b2t it can
not be depended upon to do much, if any
thing, to assist Cubans to gain their inde-
pendence.

A Parrots Tussle with a Bat.


SCRANTON, May i5.-On a sultry evening last
week bat flew into the sitting room cf a house
on Washington avenue and dashed against the
parrots cage 1t struck the cage with force
enough to drive it between the wires, and it be-
gan to creep around on the bottom of the cage
and flap its injured wings. The parrot was
asleep when the bat flew in, but it got awake in
an instant. and it screeched and screamed and
yelled "Oh. N.Y. SO many times that the lady
OF the house ran in from the piazza to see what
the trouble was with the family's pet. The mo-
menu she entered the room the parrot told the
shrill tone, repeating the command a number
Of times, The bat didn't get out, although it
tried very hard to do so, and the parrot E, I
mad, bristled up, and dived from its perch at
the puny intruder.
For few seconds the parrot had such a
lively tusse in the bottom of the cage that it
uus { everything and scattered seeds all
around the room, and then it hoped back to
its perch and began to scratch its throat with
its right foot as though it had been bitten by
the bat
"Gracious. bow that hurt" the parrot yelled.
after it had stopped scratching and smoothed
out its wings and feathers, the bat still wob-
bling about and trying to flnd place to crawl
out.
It couldn't find one, and the parrot sang out:
'Ill fix it," and pitched at the bat again. The
little thing squeaked and tried to defend itself
when the parrot tackled il, but the ugly bird
used both claws and BILL and il soon had the
bats wings torn into strings. Then 1t gave the
bat pinch on the neck. shook it up and down
dropped il suddenly, and hopped to the top OF
the cage and shrieked, looking down at the
dying little creature When the parrot saw
that the bat was dead it looked at its mistress,
jumped from the perch to its ring and back
again. laughed, and yelled out:
What is it, mother?'
The value of the parrot has doubled in the
estimation of its owner since it killed the bat.

Gets q New Trial
From the Pitts6urg Leader.

CoLuMBUs, May In a decision by the
supreme court this morning, in the case Of
William Coins against the state, it was held that
a game of heads I win, tails you lose, " is not
good law in murder cases Coins is one of the
parties concerned in the Allen county election
riots at the spring elections Of 1888, during
which a colored man was murdered He was
indicted and put on trial for murder in the first
degree. After the evidence was in and the
arguments made the jury found it difficult to
agree on a verdict. For several days they
labored without reaching an agreement Sat
urday found the twelve wise men about equally
divided as between conviction and acquittal
with an excellent chance of remaining locked
UP in the jury room over Sunday. The Jurors
did not relish this idea, and concluded to settle
their differences by a little game Of chance. A
copper was dipped" to decide whether or nou
the verdict should be acquittal or murder in the
second degree Murder in the second degree
won ia the game, and verdict was returned
accordingly, leaving nothing for the judge to
do but pass a life sentence on the man who had
been convicted by the tossing of a copper
The attorneys for Coins carried the case to
the supreme court, the prisoner in the mean
time remaining at the Allen county jail. The
contest was made principally upon tle conduct
Of the jury and the manner in which conclu-
sion was arrived at. The decision of the su-
preme court to-day reverses the judgment of
the lower courts and Temands the case back to
the common pleas of Allen county for further
proceedings. This gives Coins a new trial, ana
the ground will all have to be gone over again
to establish the guilt or innocence Of the man.
The morning news., 1889-05-19

The mother of the late Washington
Irving Bishop, the mind reader, is making
a good deal OF trouble for Drs. IRWIN and
Furges5n. who made the autopsy OF Bishop
soon ter he became unconscious. She
insists that they murdered her son and she
intends to prosecute them. They violated
the law, of course, in using their knives
upon the body without the authority of the
coroner, and without the consent of the
dead mans wife or mot er.
The excuse thoy offer for their action is
not a valid one, although it may bs satis-
factory to great many people. They say
that the brain changes rapidly after death,
and If they had waited for all the formali-
ties of the law to be complied with science
might have suffered a great loss.
Of course it cannot be shown to the sat-
isfaction of everybody that Bishop was
dead when the doctors began dissecting his
body, but the probability is that he was.
The doctors who did the dissecting stand
high in their profession, and they assert
that there isn't shadow Of doubt that he
was dead. They declare that when his
body was cut no blood flowed from the
wound, and that that was satisfactory
evidence Of death.
However, there is a chance that Bishop
was no, dead, and that he was conscious of
all that was going on around hIm when the
doctors were preparing to find out whether
there was any popularity IN his brain which
accounted for the remarkable powers which
he disp ased. There are cases on record in
which persons pronounced dead by physi-
clans eminent in their professions we're not
dead
1t seems that Bishop had been in a trance
condition frequently, and more thar once it
was believed that he was dead. His
mother, doub less, is couvirced that he was
only ia a trance, and that if he had been
left alone he would have recovered his usual
health. The general opinion among New
York physicians, however, is tnat he was
dead but that thu physicians who made the
autopsy acted too hastily aud without
authority,
1t would do no harm to have an investi-
CATION of Bishops case, because it would
draw attention to the law relative to
autopsles, and make more cautious physi-
clans who uss their kalves strictly in the
cause Of science.

A Bnsinesa Prcnosition.

The proposition which the Savannah,
Americus and Montgomery railroad has
made to Savannah is straightforward
business one. IL is a proposition winch tho
business men and property owners OF Sl-
vanuah have virtually acceptei-that is,
they have said by their action they thought
it fair one.
Tho question which is now presented TO
the business mon and property owners is
this Is a railroad which would give this city
control Of the trade Of Southwest Georgia,
another railroad connection with Atlanta
and another railroad connection with Mont
gomery and the great west, worth $4,000
to Savannahi
No one win answer this question in the
negative. Every well informed man must
answer il in the affirmative. In fact, he
viii say that such road is worth 10 this
city I've times $4,000.
That being the case, lot tho business men
and property owners subs ribo literally
toward the s50OJO that is necessary to
bring the road to this city When they are
approached by the sub cription com Mite,
let them resp nd promptly and literally.
The Savannah, Americas aud Montgomery
road would be worth % Savannah IN .llions,
