Forger Stoddard seems to have a particu-
lar fancy for forging the names Of southern
ers. Even in his quiet retreat in New
Jersey county Jail at Hoboken he appears
unable to restrain that particular impulse
But the worst blunder in his recent forgery
of letter purporting to come from an Ala
bama planter to New York physician for
the purpose of getting money was his alIu-
sion to "niggers." Former owners Of
slaves very rarely oall them anything but
negroes. Use of the word "nigger" is chiefly
confined 20 the negroes themselves and to
those writers abroad who claim to know all
about them.

Should Gov. Hill accede to the wishes of
the New York democratic state committee
and complete his gubernatorial term, which
expires Jan. land the probability is that
he will-he will have held the Office seven
years-a longer period than any governor
of that's state since Daniel D. Tompkins, who
held it for ten years from 1907 to 1910. The
only other governor in the history of the
state who served longer than Gov. Hill was
George Clinton, whose popularity kept him
in the governors chair for eighteen years
from 1777 to 1885. A part of this time,
however, was under the old confederation.
John Jay and William Marcy served six
years each; De Witt Clinton. the father of
the Erie canal, served five years and six
months; William II. Seward, Edwin d.
Morgan and John T. Hoffman served -four
years each. Horatio Seymour served four
years, though not in succession. A great
many well known statesmen, including Van
Buren,, Wright, Fish, Fenton, Dix, Tilden,
Robinson, Cornell and Cleveland, served
but one term eaeh.

The President Getting Aggressive.

The President Getting Aggressive.
The impression in Washington appears to
be that the President intends to force Mr..
Blaine either TO announce that he will not
be candidate for the presidential nomina-
ton or resign from the cabinet. He has
waited good while for Mr.. Blaine to say
what his purpose is with respect TO the nomi-
nation and he is nos disposed to walt much
longer. He thinks he is entitled to know
what his Secretary of State intends 20 do.
Il is said that friend OF the President
approached Mr.. Blaine day or two ago
and told hum that the President was will
ing to step aside in favor Of Mr.. Blaine if
the latter wanted the nomination, but that
IL Mr.. Blaine didn't want it he thought
that the good Of the party demanded that
that fact be made known. The party, it
was pointed out. was becoming divided into
two factions. and would lose much OF its
enthusiasm if the present uncertainty as to
Mr.. Blaine's purpose was permitted to con-
tinue much longer.
1t is said that Mr.. Blaine was apparently
much impressed by what was said to him,
and promised TO give the matter prompt at
tention. The following day, it is alleged,
he went to Philadelphia and submitted to
a thorough examination by his physician.
MIR. Blaine was told that he had every rea-
son to expect a good many more years of
life, that his health was better than it had
been in four or five years. and that 1t would
continue to improve. 1t is understood that
great care was taken to have the statement
of the physician published throughout the
country.
How is the care taken TO have the opinion
of the physician widely known to be inter-
pretedl If Mr.. Blaine had desired to have
the opinion kept quiet the physician would
have said nothing. He wanted the repub-
hcens, it seems, TO understand that he is
we'll and strong; but did he want them TO
understand, also, that he would accept the
presidential nomination Of his party2 1t
certainly looks SO. The friends of the
President put q different construction on
Mr.. Blaine's conduct. Their view is chat
be does not intend to accept the nominal
ton, but he does not want it understood
that the condition of his health prevents
him from doing so. He wants the impress
sion to go abroad, they say, that be declines
the honor, although being able to go
through a presidential campaign as the
head of his party.
Within few days, in all probability.
something more definite will be known rel
alive to Mr.. Blaine's intentions with
respect to the presidential nomination. The
President is becoming tired of this existing
uncertainty, and the indications are that he
purposes to have an understanding with his
Secretary Of State.

Deeper Water and Grain Shipments
1t was announced recently that Jay Gould
had determined to make New Orleans the
seaboard outlet for the grain Of large por-
tion of the west. He now controls almost
n continuous line Of railroad from the west
totbat city, and with a comparatively small
outlay of money he can have a road from
the grain fields TO the gulf. But it is a ques-
ton whether il would be advisa-
bic 20 make New Orleans a grain
exporting port. The moist climate Of the
gulf is said to be hurtful TO grain. The
Chicago Tribune, commenting upon the
interest manifested by the people of New
Orleans In the proposition TO build one or
more new grain elevators in their city, with
the view of increasing the city's export
business In the cereals, says: when the
folks In that region talk of grain shipments
on a large scale from New Orleans to
Europe. in competition with New York, they
are drawing the long bow. Such route
would not only involve the sending of grain
a long distance down south, right into hot
and humid climate. but the carrying it by
sail through several hundred miles Of hot
and moist air that flows above the gulf
stream. Those climatic conditions have
spoiled many a cargo of grain in the past,
and will spoil many others should such ship
ment be insisted on"
According to the Tribune the probability
that New Orleans will become rival of
New York In the exporting of grain is very
remote. Although grain has been exported
by way Of New Orleans for many years the
grain exporting business from that port has
not reached large proportions, and its
annual increase is not great.
But why should not Savannah become a
great grain exporting porti There was a
movement at one time to make her such a
port. and it would have been successful in
all probability had her harbor had depth
Of water sufficient to accommodate the
larger class of steamships. Since that
movement was abandoned Savannah's
harbor has been greatly improved, and il
the efforts that are now being made
for deeper water are successful
steamships drawing twenty-six feet OF
water will be able to come to Savannah's
wharves within the next three years.
the demands of grain exporting business.
With the deeper water for which she is
now striving Savannah would have
all the advantages for exporting grain
possessed by New York or Baltimore,
and would have to contend with none of
the objections which are offered to New
Orleans. Her railroad connections reach
into the grain fields of the west and her
climate is not hurtful to grain. The grain
In elevators at her wharves would be much
nearer the foreign markets than it would be
In elevators at New Orleans. and, therefore
foreign freight rates would be lower.
II our deeper water movement is success
ful Savannah. there is every reason TO be-
| lieve, will become great exporting port,
not only for grain, but, also, for provisions.
Much Of the products of the west that now
60 TO New York for shipment abroad will
come here. There will be no occasion for
talking about direct trade between Savan-
nah and Europe. for Savannah will then
have direct trade

British bondholders are not amicably ac-
cepting the arbitrament of their chosen
arbitors in the matter of the Virginia state
debt after all. On the contrary they are
kicking vigorously for more. Possibly they
think that because the state authorities ac-
ceded to that proposition so readily more
might have been readily secured. But the
chances are that such crafty superstition
is egregiously erroneous.

Recently DR.. Leslie (. Kelley stated in
newspaper interview relative to two suits
of one Henry Monroe against the Leslie E.
Kelley Company for the alleged failure to
cure said Monroe of drunkenness and for
damage to his health from taking the gold
cure treatment that a Mr.. Monroe was I'M
der treatment from May to June % last,
and was cured Of the drinking habit. This
Monroe admitted. Afterward he returned
to drinking, excusing his course by the
statement that during sickness the
physician prescribed liquor for him
and the habit became again fixed on him.
So far as the doctor knows he left Dwight
for no other reason than that he had be-
come so dissipated that he could find no
employment. Should it come to trial the
doctor is satisfied that he can effectively
defend himself. But he is inclined to be-
heve that it will never be tried. After
patient has been completely cured of
malady il would be rather unfair to hold
the physician responsible fer an attempt to
undo all of his work by going deliberately
about cultivatiDg the complaint again.

a Sensational Murder Trial.

Sensational murder trials are not uncom-
mon in this country, but there is one now in
progress in Denver, Col, that promises to
be about as sensational as any one that has
taken place recently. The defendant is DR..
Thatcher Graves. Of Providence, K l., and
the charge against him is that he murdered
Mrs Barnaby. wealthy widow of the
same city. He is a very fine looking
man and moved In the best social circles Of
Providence
The trial Is at Denver, because the muir
der was committed in that city. DR.. Graves
was Mrs. Barnaby's physician and business
manager. He had full control of her es-
tate. She was an invalid and he OCCASION
ally ordered her to seek health in some
distant part of the country. 1t was on his
advice that she went to Denver. While in
the latter city she received through the
mail a bottle on which was the following
label: ''Fine old whisky from your friends
in the woods"
The previous summer she had spent a
number Of weeks in The Adirondack noun
tains, and she supposed the whisky came
from a man named Bennett, at whose
uOASO ouS Ae1A St1l eO, duA WIZ Ae1A dObo0 as
her guide in her rambles through the woods.
She drank some Of the whisky and death
followed very soon. An autopsy disclosed
the fact that arsenic had caused her death.
Tbs whisky was examined and found to con-
tain arsenic.
There were some who suspected that the
poisoned whisky had been sent to Mrs.
Barnaby by the Adirondack guide. A brief
inquiry, however, relieved him from sus-
picion. 1t was discovered that the bottle
had been mailed in Boston, and several cir
cumstances which came to light pointed to
DIR. Graves as the murderer. 1t leaked out
that he knew that Mrs. Barnaby had left
him $685. 900, in her will and it was suspected
that he had murdered Mrs. Barnaby in
order TO get that money.
It seems from the evidence which will be
given in the trial that DR.. Graves
is by no means as good q man
as the people of Providence be-
lieved him to be. Witnesses have reached
Denver from different parts of the country
who say that they will testify to facts that
will give him pretty bad name.
DR.. Graves. of course, declares that he is
innocent, and, as the evidence against him
is wholly circumstantial. it is by no means
certain that he will be convicted. His trial
is exciting great interest in Denver and
other parts Of the country because of the
peculiar features of the case. and the ex-
pected sensational developments in connec-
tion with DR.. Graves career as a physician.
