A DOu Story.

Caesar. our great Newfoundland, had a very
friendly way with small dogs, because be was
used to them, there being always few house
preference; for although be would permit Juliet,
small Scotch terrier, 70 make his broad side
her place Of repose when she was out OF doors,
and seemed TO like it, yet II Romeo, her mate.
only few pounds heavier, offered to follow her
example, an ominous growl warned him off
says writer in the New York Advertiser.
One OF us children had to 60 every morning to
the bakers for fresh rolls, and Caesar carried
the basket. On the square there was tailor's
establishment kept by man named Gain, who
owned little reddish-brown dog, which had
arrived at old age without either its wisdom or
its dignity. He had q bad habit of flying out at
every dog which passed. even though the dog
might be attending strictly to his own business;
but he never meddled with Caesar, unless he
had his mouth too full to recent the impudence.
slster-one who had a very high spirit, aud who
could never bear injustice in any form-and
when the little cur made his usual attack, she
remarked in low tones, Caesar, put down the
basket and teach him lessou."s
Caesar needed no urging. Very deliberately
he set the basket down. picked the small red
dog by the skin on the back OF his neck, and be-
gan TO trot off, with his termentor dangling
from his mouth in a very shrunken and scared
condition. Caesar soon broke from trot into a
run, and in much less time than it takes to tell
it, he had sped around the square with his odd
looking burden, and returning to the starting
point, dropped him from his mouth very much
terrified but entirely unhurt.
The dog lost no time in getting inside the shop
door, while Caesar picked up his basket and
walked proudly away, never again to be mo-
Tested by Gains cur, for it he caught a glimpse
OF Caesar coming he would disappear as if by
magic, and lie ives much more careful about
attacking other dogs as well.

Kisses Cost Nothing.

Papa kiss me-" said a little brown-eyed girl
on West Olive street, as she tiptoed toward the
face Of her bearded father.
20, pshaw, kissed you once!" responded the
gentleman grufly.
Instantly the tears sprang to the eyes Of the
little girl, says the st. Louis Fepublic but she
maintained her hold on the lapels of her fathers
coat as she answered sadly:
II know 1t; but kisses don't cost anything,
papa"
Then the man clasped her to his bosom, i'm.
printed half a dozen kisses on her cheeks and
ran away to catch the downtown car.
How many times he thought of it that day:
Kisses don't cost anything, papar How
many times he resolved never again to be angry
or impatient with his children How often he
said to himself that il permitted to see his home
again he would allow his babies to give him half
dozen greetings and hang about his neck with
out sign OF impotence on his part
But 1t was g busy day. Creditors were i'm
Fortunate. Orders were plentiful, but not
promptly filed. The flood threatened his
foundry and everything went wrong. At $3.50
O'Clock he started home-wet, tired, angry and
impatient. Two little brown-eyed girls and a
olue-eyed boy were waiting for him on the wide
stone steps Of his man sion.
Here's pnpai" they shouted, and rushed
down to meet him. The frowns were thick
upon bis brow, but he remembered tho lesson
OF the morning and took the little ones In his
arms and smothered them with kisses while
tired mother leaned out upon a window sill and
smiled.
Truly. kisses don't cost anything, and how
happy they make the world.

The Terminals Reorganization.

| II Drexel, Morgan & Co. undertake the
work of recognizing the Richmond
Terminal Company the holders Of the COM
pany's securities will be given to understand
at the outset that the securities will be
rated at their actual market value In any
! plan of reorganization that may be pro-
posed. One of the reasons the Olcott plan
failed was that the comparatively valueless
securities of the Terminal company were
considered in the plan to be worth very
nearly as much as the underlying 6rst-class
securities of the companies controlled by
the Terminal. The holders of these first
class securities refused. Of course, to permit
their bonds to DO used to in-
crease the value of Terminal securities.
And the Terminal company will never be
reorganized except upon the basis Of the
actual value OF its holdings. The real
value Of its securities is pretty well known,
and Wall street will not be led into giving
more than they are intrinsically worth.
In the dispatches to the southern papers
it is stated that the Calhouns were largely
instrumental in having the matter Of re-
organizing the Terminal referred to Drexel.
Morgan 81 Co. The New York papers,
however, contain no such information.
The Herald says that the petition that was
presented to Drexel, Morgan & Co. was
started by Spencer, Trask e. Co.. and was
signed by firms representing large blocks
Of securities. In view OF the fact that the
Calhouns we're not able to hold their
places IN the board Of directors
Of the Central railroad the
Impression prevailed in this locality that
they had no more interest In the Terminal
company than they had In the Central. 1t
may be, however, that they have become
purchasers of Terminal securities recently.
But it is a matter of very little conse-
quence here, however, whether the Calhouns
or some other parties we're instrumental in
getting up the petition to Drexel, Morgan &
Co. About the only interest In the Termi-
nal company in Georgia is that which grows
out Of the hope that the Terminal will let
the Central alone. The Terminal has done
the Central enough damage. But the Cen
trail. IL not interfered with by the Terminal,
will eventually get back the good credit it
once enjoyed.

Annals Claim.

The republican national committee got
out of paying Miss Anna Dickinson the 81 $50
for which she brought suit by pleading the
baby act-that is. that the contract 1t made
with her was illegal IL was q plea emf
nently characteristic Of the party of alleged
great moral ideas and high purposes. Only
such a party could produce and honor such
men as Dudley, Clarkson and Quay. 1t
must be said In behalf of Quay. however,
| that as chairman of the national committee
he thought Anna's services would be dear
| at any price. He is not an admirer OF Anna,
believing that dollar placed where it
would be most effective would do far
more good to the republican cause than all
the hign-sounding, high-falutin sky scrap
ing nonsense than Anna could utter In
week. But Dudley and Clarkson believed
in her, and they not only promised, she says,
to give her IS 900 for the campaign-the
campaign of 1888-but standing on either
side Of her and each holding hand of hers,
they told her how glad they we're that she
had come to the assistance of the republican
cause, and that with her help they felt VIC
tory was assured. Even Gen. Harrison
seems to have felt that his cause was won
when Auna's services were secured.
But somehow or other Anna failed to
give satisfaction. Perhaps approaching old
age had robbed her voice Of its music, her
eyes Of their brightness. and her gestures
of their point aud vigor. Whatever the
cause was. her oratory lacked the power 1t
possessed when, as maiden in her teens,
she was regarded by all Quakerdom as be-
ing but little below the angels. The cons
mite gave her no assignments, though she
| begged for them and shed bitter and salty
tears because she received them not. Clark
SON and Dudley wrote her kind and encour-
aging letters, and finally paid her s.. rs for
thirty speeches.
| 1t will not be denied that the compensa-
ton per speech was good but the contract
had not been carried out and Anna was
mad-very mad-and she proceeded to
make the republican leaders uncomfortable
by writing them letters, telling them good
many truths about themselves, with which
she had become acquainted during her long
connection with the Republican party. But
they didn't intend TO pay her what sh Q
claimed out of their own pockets, and so
| they paid no attention to her. Anna, there
| fore, went into court. and made the party
plead the baby act, showing to what little
| things 1t will stoop.

The Persistent Terminal

The Terminal seems to think that ID has
only TO keep on trying to get rescinded the
order enjoining the $1,000 shares of Cen
| trails stock which 1t owns, or In which it
has an equity of redemption, to succeed,
When the bill to break the lease of the Gem
trail TO the Georgia Pacific was heard it had
chance to look out for the 40 900 shares.
and afterward it went into court under the
name OF the Central Trust Company with a
request for permission to vote the stock in
the election of May 16. In both instances it
failed to get what it wanted. Now it is
making another effort to get the injunction
dissolved. 1t is impossible, of course, to
say what the decision will be, but judging
from the elaborate. carefully considered
and very able opinion OF the
court denying the application of
the Central Trust Company the
conclusion that the court will not undo
what it has done seems to be q fair one
Judges Pardee and Spear did not lock up
the $4,000 shares without giving the COURTS
authority to do 80 and the interests of all
parties concerned very careful oonsidera-
ton. Unless, therefore, much stronger ar.
gumeuts for dissolving the injunction are
advanced than have been it is pretty safe to
say that the shares will not be voted as long
as they are held In bulk by corporation,
as they now are.
The Terminal does not seem to know just
what II does want Only recently it was
given out that it was satisfied to let the
question relative to the 42,0O0 shares
remain where ir is for while,
knowing that the Central railroad would
be wisely and ably managed, and that all
interests would be treated with absolute
impartiality, but within the last few days
something has occurred TO make it desirable
that ID should get absolute control OF
the Central. Its affairs are in
such a condition that the parties
In control Of it one week are likely to be
succeeded by another party the next week.
Even il additional arguments should be ad-
vanced in behalf Of putting the control in
its power the court, in justice to the
minority stockholders and the other
security holders, would doubtless hesitate to
do SO as long as the Terminals condition is
so perilous and its existence SO full of I'M
| certainty

DELAYED by Politics.

There Is nogood reoson to doubt that the
river aud hssbor bill will be passed, but It
| looks nowsasifft would not be possible to get
any further consideration of it until the last
! days Of the session. 1t has passed both
houses ana ought now to be in thu hands of
a conference committee. The Senate made
many important changes in it, and, as the
House is not disposed to accept the changes,
! the bill mist go to a conference committee
for adjustment Of the differences between
| the two houses.
| If all the strong friends of the bill had
been at their posts Of duty when it went
back to the House from the Senate, it would
have gone TO a conference committee at
once, but quite number of them were alb
sent Even the chairman of the river and
harbor COMMITTEES was at Baton Rouge try
ing to get himself elected senator.
II he had remained in Washington
attending to his official duties he would
have increased his chances for the senator
ship probably. because Louisiana is deeply
interested in the appropriation which the
river and harbor bill carries for the lower
Mississippi.
The democratic caucus which met last
week, and decided upon the bills that should
have the preference, gave the river and har-
Dor bill the cold shoulder because of the
extraordinary outcry that the New York
papers have made against it. The demo-
Gratis are so scared by the attacks upon the
bill by the New York press that many of
them would gladly postpone the bill until
next session, notwithstanding the fact that
Sfch 81,
ment millions OF dollars In damages to
plants and partly completed works. They
lack the courage of their convictions.
They forget that no river and harbor bill
in the last quarter of century has escaped
the attacks OF the New York papers New
York doesn't want the waterways and
heroors, except her own, improved. She
wants all the products of the country TO be
transported by rail in order that she
may have the benefit Of handling them.
But her newspapers have nothing to say
against a river and harbor bill after it be-
comes a law. They remain quiet about
river and harbor appropriations until the
next river and hsrbor bill is before con-
gress and then they try to scare congress
men into defeating it,
There is very little opposition in congress
to the pending river and harbor bill. 1t re.
ceived large majority in both the House
and the Senate, and the chief reason now
shat there is delay in settling the differ
ences that have arisen between the two
houses with regard to it is the fear some
OF the democrats have that IL it is passed
the Democratic party will be charged
with extravaganza. Such men are
unworthy Representatives II the bill
is good one they ought to
pass 1t promptly. notwithstanding the
clamor OF the newspapers of a city that is
interesting in having it defeated. and, IL It
is not good one, they ought to set to work
at once to so amend it that it will be good
one. As matter of fact, however, very
little or no fault oan be found with the
bill. Politics is delaying it-that is all.

DodRipR Statesman.

Public men who dodge leading issues for
fear of losing some of their popularity make
a great mistake. The people admire a man
who meets public issues squarely, aud will
trust and honor him even IL they do not
agree with him. They like in public
men above everything else honesty and
franknesS.
The chief reason the democrats of the
whole country are demanding the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Cleveland is their confidence in
him. They know he will play them no
tricks for the sake Of popularity, and that
he will meet every issue openly and squarely
He wrote his anti-free silver coinage letter
when there was no urgent reason why he
should do so. He didn't want the people to
misunderstood his position.
Notice the difference between him and
Senator Hill. Nobody knows whether the
senator is for or against the free coinage of
silver. On Thursday there was a chance for
him to put himself on record on the silver
question. A motion was made to take up
Senator Stewards free silver coinage bill
Did Senator Hill vote upon the motion7 He
did not. He lodged the vote. The follow
ing is the New York Herald's account Of
what took place:
"'Look! Look! Look at Hill go. He's
on dead run
These ordinations were not heard on
race track to-day, but they broke out in the
United States Senate chamber, and were
followed by as near an approach to laughter
and hooting as that distinguished BODY ever
permitted itself.
"The creator of the fun was David Bennett
Hill, who made the distance between his seat
aud the door in the quickest time on record
in what he evidently thought was the race
for his political life Mr. Hill was fright-
ened. The silver bill was after him and he
didn't propose to be caught"
In the foregoing is found the reason why
Senator HIS presidential boom collapsed
almost as soon as it was launched, or. as
Consul General Newe puts it, why IL was
''born dead" Tho people have no use for
Senator Hill.
