JUDGE MONTGOMERY VERY ILL

His Recovery Hardly Notwithstanding
From Grip and Kidney Trouble.
The condition of Judge Montgomery, who
is dangerously i'll at his quarters at the Ebbitt
House, had undergone no change last night
at midnight. The gravest fears are entertained
that the present illness will result fatally for
besides having the grip he is suffering from
complication of diseases of the kidneys. His
relatives have all been summoned from his
old home in Michigan, and the general i'm
preston is that his end is not many hours
distant. Judge Montgomery was appointed
Commissioner of Patents by President Cleve-
land, who also gave him the judgeship. He
has made a very acceptable Judge to the entire
community, and especially to the members of
the bar.

Probably the doctor will look upon Mr.. Har
ries's wide-open letter as another evidence OF
American barbarism and lack of regard for
the amenities of civilization. No doubt 1t
will have the effect of convincing him that he
can no longer consistently maintain his rela-
tions with this Government, and, of course,
he will resign the Office which we believe he
now holds under It. That would certainly
seem to be the logical outcome of the situa-
tion, unless DIR. Verdi can prove the charges
brought against him by Mr.. Harries to be un-
founded

Rather Warm Apparel.

''You talk about feeling sick" said po-
liceman to HERALD reporter, Shut how
would you feel if you were compelled to wear
these heavy overcoats buckled around you
during this hot spell? They have a date when
the spring clothing is ordered to be donned,
date is always too late in the month. The
captain says it is for the health, discipline,
and uniformity of dress with all the force, but
don't see why the lieutenants could not be
given discretion to permit the men to wear
the lighter uniform when the weather de-
mands it.n

BOOKS IND AUTHORS.

AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF THE EARTH. By
Rer. III. N. Hutchinson. The author has set out
to give in this work q popular and compendious
outline of modern geological science in an ac-
curate and attractive form, and he has sue
ceeded admirably in his task. The style is
adapted to the comprehension of the non-
scientific reader, and the facts are presented in
a way that is well calculated to fascinate any
one who has the least inclination to become IA
miiar with the science. There are sixteen
chapters in the work, and twenty-seven clear
illustrations add to its beauty and complete
ness. Although the author wrote with
special view to the English reader, this does
not injure the value of the work to Americans.

The contest over the election of successor
tosenator Call, of Florida, has developed
rather more than the usual amount of scandal.
Shooting ARRAYS, fist fights, attempts at brib-
cry, and other disgraceful incidents are
among the features that have cropped out al
most daily since the balloting began. Similar
scandals have attended almost every Senator
ial election of the present year. No wonder
the sentiment in favor of the election Of Sena-
tors by popular vote grows steadily. The
change can't come too quick for the good of
the country A continuation of the present
system would speedily breed an utter con-
tempt for the Senate as nest of boodlers,
who obtained their high Offices by corruption
and chicanery. 1t is probable that result of
these Senatorial election scandals in the legis-
latures will be the Introduction of measures in
the next Congress providing for the election

lit Had Only Known.

! The Philadelphia Press, the leading re-
I publican organ of Pennsylvania, would
have made the situation much more IN
pleasant than it did for Senator Cameron if
I it had only known the day before his re-
election to the United States Senate that be
was connected with the pool that was formed
during the last session Of congress 70 specu-
| late In silver 1t did all it could to defeat
his reelection. There was not spot in all
! his public career that IL did not hold up to
\ the public gaze. and even after his re election
it asserted that his long retention in the
| Senate was not only a misfortune bat also a
public scandal.
Its attempts to defeat the senator, how
ever. were futile. Il is doubtful Il all it
said changed a single vote. Republicans
who supported Delamater for governor
could hardly be influenced 10 take stand
against Cameron. And the Press had weak
ened its own influence by advocating the
election Of Delamater. 1t was in no posi-
ton to preach purity and morality. Its
own record stared it i the face.
II it had only been informed, however,
that the senator was connected with the sis
yer pool scandal it might have caused
stampede from him. 1t looks very much as
if the committee which has charge OF the
silver inv estigation purposely delayed the
investigation in order that Cameron's re-
election might not be endangered.
The republicans know how TO take care OF
each o.her. They are mixed up in so many
things of shady character that they UNI
derstand the n cessity for standing together.
1t is understood that Senator Cameron
says that he did not speculate in silver until
the silver bill-the bill that passed last ses-
sion-had gone to the President. and that,
therefore, his vote could not have been in
fiuenced by his interest IN the silver pool.
But would it net be better for the senator to
keep out of sDeculations that depend upon
legislation for SUGGEST He may still hold
the silver which he bought year ago, and,
if so, he voted for the free silver coinage
bill the other day knowing that if it should
become a law he would be directly the
gamer by it.
Senator Cameron is a very rich man,
and there was no excuse for him to under
take to make money in q way that might be
regarded as scandalous. Perhaps the lead
ing republican organ of his state will have
something further to say about him in con-
nection with his silver speculations.

Deluding the Blacks.

From the best information obtainable
white men are at the bottom of the African
colonization scheme by which ] 900 or 200
blacks are collected in Atlanta from Texas
and other states, awaiting transportation to
this city. with the expectation Of finding q
steamship here to transport them to an
African port for 81 each. The blacks who
are connected with it appear TO be the dupes
Of white men.
The postoffice authorities are making an
investigation with the view of finding out
whether under the postal laws the promoters
of the scheme can be prosecuted for obtain
ing money by unlawful means.
1t would seem as if the department of
justice would also take some action in the
matter The administration pretends to be
anxious for the welfare of the blacks. Its
anxiety, however, does not extend to any
thing apparently not connected with their
votes. II it really desired to do the blacks
service when an opportunity presented
itself il would ferret out those who are now
getting their money upon false pretenses.
1t will be remembered, however, that it was
while the Republican party was in power
that the blacks were successfully swindled
by means of the Freedman's bank.
And it is for these blacks who do not know
that this proposition to carry them to Africa
for 81 each, and provide each of them with
farm on arriving there, is a swindle, that
the republicans in congress are overturning
established rules to pass bill which would
check the prosperity of great section of
the country. II looks as if the Republican
party were as persistent In getting the votes
of the blacks as the swiudlers are to get
their dollars.
