Finding a Place for Senator ELL

Finding a Place for Senator ELL
The talk In New York TO the effect that
Senator Hill has been offered the place OF
general counsel of the Equitable Life Insur-
ance Company at a salary of eos, 900 year
may have some foundation. 1t Is pretty
well understood that Senator Hill doesn't
like the Senate. Its duties, il Is said, are
not congenial to him. Ii was stated when
be was elected that he did not want the ssn-
atorship, and only consented to take ii TO
prevent q factional fight In his party that
might result in the election Of q repub-
lican.
There does not seem to be any doubt that
be Is still ambitious 20 be the candidate Of
his party for President. Assuming that
such Is the case he would stand q much bet
ter chance OF having his ambition gratified
il he were out Of the Senate than init The
Senate is regarded as the graveyard Of the
hopes Of presidential aspirants.
The New York legislature is strongly
democratic, and Senator Hill could resign
with the certainty that the vacancy thus
created would be filed by sterling demo-
crat.
His resignation would change the situa-
ton at Albany greatly. Now there Is
feeling that the senator 10 be elected 10 sue
coed Senator Hisoock should be from the
city Of New York, aud the democrats from
che country districts are insisting that the
new senator shall be from some locality
outside OF New York city. II Senator Hill
should resign there would be two senator's
TO be elected, and the contention between
the country and city would be ended.
Besides, the fact that the duties OF the
Senate are distastefuI TO him there are other
reasons why he would like to get out Of the
Senate II he remains in the Senate he will
be the senior New York senator, and would
expect TO be consulted relative TO the distrt-
button Of the federal patronage in
New York state. His relations with
Mr.. Cleveland are not the most
pleasant, and It is almost certain
that he would be forced into sntagonism to
Mr.. Clevsland's administration from the
very beginning. 1t is plain that IN that
case his position would not be an enviable
one. He could not get the democratic sem
ators to join him In opposing the admins
trstion and be would find himself unable
to render his friends any service. without
power or influence he would loss his hold
upon his party in New York. The impress
sion, therefore, that he wants 10 get out Of
the Senate may be correct.

OcALA. FLA, Deo Ever since the
state firemen's tournament at st. Angus
tine where the Ocala companies, Nos. and
8, took all prizes, No. l, owing to their slip
up In making connection at hydrant, inn
agined that If this mishap had not occurred
they would have captured the first prize.
Thinking and talking over the matter with
banter from their viotors induced No. to
wager No. 3 $50 that they could beat them
running. No. accepted the bet. No.
made bet with No. 2 for a similar amount.
The contest aroused intense local interest.
The town turned out, and every corner Of
vantage was blocked with people,
The crowd is estimated at 1000
persons. The contest began at
O'Clock p. m. The run was 300 yards to a
hydrant, lay 400 feet of hose aud get water
through nozzle. No. made the run in
Los and No. 2 In 0:57, aud everybody
cheered. No. tied No. On time and the
crowd went wild. OF course No. lost both
bets. Considerable money changed hands.
The time made is the topic of the hour.
Knowing ones say it is wonderful.

me. Racon,s Railroad Rllls.

The two railroad bills which were intro
tive Bacon, and which have been passed by
the House and are now pending in the Sem
ate, are beginning to attract good deal of
attention, not only from those who are in
terested in the securities Of railroads Of this
state, but also from capitalists and those
who are seeking to promote the states pros
perity.
In another column We publish a letter
from Mr.. II. B. Plant, president of the
Plant system. who regards the bills as very
unwise measures II is evident from what
be says that his Judgment is not influenced
by the fact that he is largely interested
in Georgia railroad property. The reasons
he gives for his position show that he speaks
from an independent standpoint. and as one
who desires to see no obstacle thrown in
the way of Georgia's prosperity. His letter
should be given a careful reading by every
member Of the Legislature
There is no doubt that Representative
Bacon is sincere in advocating his bills, but
there is good ground for thinking he has
not studied them sufficiently to see the dam
nge they would do the state and the
holders Of junior securities of railroads now
in the hands Of receivers-and the roads in
the hands Of receivers comprise about half
or the railroad mileage-if they were to be-
come laws. IL is apparent that ia the face
of such laws it would be an extremely diff
cult matter to reorganiZe these insolvent
properties, because investors would hesitate
to put their money IN railroads subject to
such hsrassing regulations as are proposed
in Mr.. Bscon's bills.
At first thought it seems to be all right 30
enact laws for the protection of holders Of
railroad securities and for the safety Of
railroad travellers, but IL Is a question
whether the bills In question would &C
complish the object sought. and it is quite
certain they would have an injurious effect
upon the states prosperity.
A law providing a severe punish
ment for those guilty of deliberately
wrecking railroad is all
well enough, but the placing Of limitations
upon the issuance Of stocks and bonds and
regulating of floating indebtedness are oers
tain TO work harm to the railroad interest.
The legislature is, to some extent, re-
sponsible for the unfortunate condition Of
so many roads of the state. IL has been
constantly nagging them for years without
any great benefit to the people and with
positive injury TO the railroads. Much Of
the railroad legislation is crude
and was enacted without a full
understanding of the evils aimed at or the
effect of the remedy that was provided.
These bills OF Mr.. Bacon's reflect In q meas
ure the feelings Of shose who are sufferers
from the financial condition Of so many Of
the roads in the state-s condition, as
already stated, which is partly due to legis-
lation. Still further legislation Is much
more likely to sggravate this condition than
improve it, Let the legislature give the
railroads a rest-at least until they can get
on better financial basis The legislative
doctors are not the kind of doctors the rail-
roads are in need of at present.

Baltimore, it seems, has developed pas

formed IN Chicago the need of 1t would have

Next Monday, Dec. 19, the popu-

Kelly, will appear at Elders Opera
House, along with his talented COM
parry, in his sensational melodrama,
"The Shadow Detective" in five
acts, founded on facts, being a faith
full portraiture of life and times of the
present day. The Nashville Amer
lean praises Mr.. Kelly lengthily,
saying as follows:
"The opening last night was most
auspicious. The Shadow Detective
is true story of New York life. AS
George Thornton it is safe to say that
Mr.. Kelly has no equal, and nothing
but praise can be said of him. He
provoked waves of merriment and
won enthusiastic applause. The
railroad scene, showing the workings
of the block signal system, and two
large locomotives with trains of cars
dashing across the stage at the rate OF
fifty miles an hour, are the most
stirring pieces of stage realism and
ingenuity that has ever been seen
here"

BY THE MORPHINE ROUTE.
A Webster County Farmer Tries to
shuttle Off the Mortal Coil.

Says the Henderson Cleaner:
"Noah Tapp, farmer residing near
Tilden, Webster county, attempted
suicide yesterday via the morphine
route. About $3.50 yesterday he wan
dered into Epmier's saloon, on Sec
ond street, apparently intoxicated.
He stood around for some minutes
and then tumbled headlong on the
floor, Some of his friends and
neighbo~s took him in the back yard
and worked with him until Drs.
Hanna and Quinn arrived and then
antidotes wers applied, which re-
suscitated him. He was afterwards
taken to the Farmers Hotel, where
he was made easy. Tapp is compar-
atively young man and unmarried
and no cause is assigned for this rash
act. He has been in the city for
several days on protracted spree.
His friends claim that he has teen
addicted to the use of morphine for
years. A small vial was found in
his pocket. This vial is said to have
contained 55 grains, and if he swal-
lowed that much it is miracle thai
he is alive. He vas reported much
better last night, with good chance
for his recovery"
