A Good One on RlkIns.

The Rarrisonville (Mo.) Democrat tells this
good one on the Secretary of War:
"a prominent attorney Of Hutchinson, Kan.
who was raised in this city, here on visit. re-
Gently said: Yes. went to school with Stephen
B. Elkins when he taught in the old academy
on East Pearl street. l was a very small bow
then. and dent remember very much that took
place. My recollection is that he was called a
good fellow. good teacher and was very much
admired by the boys on account of his learning
and eloquence. l remember one little incident
more distinctly, perhaps, than any other that
took place while 1 attended school. I think it
was in 1861, Col. R. who had lived here
many years. decided to move with his
family to Pixies Peak. At that dav
nothing west was talked Of out Pixies
Peak. Gold had been discovered there
and everybody had the fever. Col. R
had boy attending school about my age. who.
when the time arrived to start west came up to
tell US good bye. He came at recess, and about
the time he got through shaking hands with the
boys books" was called and he went to tell Che
professor good bye. The little fellow walked
up in front with the same gentiity that has
been characteristic Of him in latter years, and
holding out his hand, said: Professor, came
to tell you good bye.' Elkins sad; Good
bye, Bob, be a good boy but hold on, / have
favor to ask of you" He stepped to his desk
and took out a little silk secession flag, and
handing it to Bob. he said: when you get out
there place this on the top of Pixies Peak for
me in the name of the southern confederacy "
The promise was promptly made to do it.
Bob is now one of the foremost lawyers in
Missouri, and smiles compacently when he
thinks OF the commission he once had from the
now great Secretary Of War to place a confed-
crate flag on the top of Pixies PEAK.

A Point for the President.

! The present status Of the Chilean affair
ought 70 give the President great deal OF
/ satisfaction. The prompt answer OF Chile
conceding nearly all be demanded in his
ultimatum OF Jan. 81, enables MIN to score
/ a strong point in the effort he is making for
a denomination. The answer was IN
doubtedly hurried up by the warlike mes
sage the President sent to congress Mon
day.
II the reports sent out from Washington
are correct the President has all along con-
tended that il this country assumed firm
attitude Chile would abandon her
policy of delay and evasion
and would conceds the demands
made by this country. On the other hand
Secretary Blaine, it is understood. favored
further delay. He thought a settlement
could be reached though diplomatic chan
nels and. hence, opposed sending message
10 congress, and especially objected to any
thing that looked like threat that war
would be declared if an apology was not
made and reparation promised.
II Chile had remained stubborn and war
had become necessary the popularity OF the
President might have suffered. but in view
Of the fact that Chile responded fayorably
TO the ultimatum by Withdrawing the Malta
note and the request for the recall Of Min
lister Egan, and submitting proposition for
an arbitration of the attack on the Balti-
more's sailors, he is in much higher favor
with his party than be was few days ago.
IL Is generally admitted that his message
was a very able one 1t presented this
country's side Of the trouble so skillfully
that congress would have promptly APP
proved his course had an opportunity for
doing SO presented itself.
The trouble, of course, Is not yet settled
but II Chile remains in her present state Of
mind it will be adjusted to the satisfaction
of both countries very soon. Chile doesn't
want war with the United States, but she
did not intend to withdraw anything she
had said or make an apology If she could
avoid doing SO, aud she evidently thought
she could avoid doing anything she didn't
want to do.
With the offensive Malta note out Of the
way and proposition to arbltrate pending
1t lie probable that the trouble will soon be
in fair way OF being adjusted.

Georgia and the Fair.

All sorts of suggestions have been made
for raising an amount OF money sufficient
to enable Georgia to make a creditable ex-
hibit at the worlds fair. Every Georgian
having any feeling OF state pride is anxious
that the state shall have an exhibit, and it
is probable that If a satisfactory plan for
raising money were adopted the majority
of the people would help to make it success
full.
IL is evident that popular subscriptions
could not be depended upon. Outside of
the towns very little would be subscribed.
The proposition to adopt the plan that is be-
ing carried out so successfully in Texas and
Kansas seems to meet with considerable
favor. In Texas every school child who gets
a subscription of 50 is given one admission
ticket to the fair, and in Kansas the school
children hold fairs at which articles of
small value are disposed of at big profit
In each Of the states a very considerable
sum has been collected already.
Would it not be advisable to enlist the
aid Of school children of this state in behalf
| of a fair fund? They might not be able tc
collect 500, 200, the amount that is thought
to be necessary to make good exhibit, but
if they should succeed in collecting half, or
even quarter, Of that amount it would not
be so difficult a matter to get subscriptions
from individuals and corporations that are
we'll able to give literally to SO worthy an
| object
IL must be admitted that the great ma
| jority Of the people are not in a financial
| condition to be liberal with regard to any
undertaking, however laudable it may be.
The low price OF cotton has had a very
injurious effect upon all business interests
but the desire that Georgia shall have ar
exhibit at the Columbian fair is so general
that il a special effort on the line suggested
we're made to raise Nancy for that object
there are good reasons for believing that il
| would be successful.

1t Looks Like Machine Work

The dispatch from Washington, published
in the New York World day or two ago,
coupled with the statement that the con-
vention in New York to chose delegates to
the democratic national convention would
meet on Feb. "a. justifies the conclusion
that the democratic machine in New Y ork,
which Senator Hill controls. is being used
to get delegation favorable to Hill. II
the impression can be created that Mr..
Cleveland does not want the nomination of
his party for President. and will not accept
1t. and the New York convention is held
while this impression prevails, Senator Hill
stands an excellent chance of getting dele
CATION favorable TO his nomination.
There is no reason why the New York
convention should be held at 80 early a date
as that proposed except to enable Senator
Hill to carry out his plans. The convention
to select delegates Is not held, as a rule, be-
fore April Is or May l. Why, then. should
there be so much haste in holding 1t this
years
Doubtless Senator Hin thinks that il he
can get the New York delegation he will
stand an excellent chance of getting the
delegations OF several other states. But Ii
is doubtful il any of the other states will be
influenced by the action of New York. They
will understand that IL a Hill delegation is
chosen In that state 1t will be by machine
methods, and their tendency will be to re-
sent so palpable an effort to control the
national convention by such methods
Senator hill has right. of course, to use
every legitimate means to get tho nomina-
ton, but he must not be greatly disappointed
il he finds the people do not want candi-
| date who depends for success upon packed
conventions rather than upon his popularity
with the people.
If all the state conventions for choosing
delegates to the national convention were
held to-day it is doubtful if he would gs,
the delegation Of a single state, with
the exception, probably, of New
York. With the politicians OF
that state and with certain classes
of the people he is very popular, but he
does not have the confidence of the bust
ness men. n the convention is held at OF
about the usual time. and it is understood
that Mr.. Cleveland is a candidate for the
nomination, Senator Hill may not find Il
an easy matter 10 get the delegation, how
ever firm the grasp is which he has upon thu
political machine.

Some western papers are advocating the
nomination of Boies for the presidency on
the ground that it would put stop to third
party movements, as Boies stands near to
the hearts of the farmers OF the entire coun-
try" That would indeed be poor political
expedient. While the farmers compose a
large part Of the population Of this country,
there is also another very large element of
the people whose opinions and likes aud dis
likes must be regarded. Furthermore. there
is little doubt that a majority of the farmers
in this country are democrats, so true TO the
principles Of the party that they would vote
for better representative of those princi-
pies than Boies without giving a passing
thought to third party, even if it en-
braced in its platform some of the measures
that the farmers have come to regard as
peculiarly their own.

savannah,s Cotton Reeeipts.


/ II she Richmond and Danville has
( diverted any cotton from Savannah during
I the present season the fact was not brought
I out at the meeting Of the cotton exchange
[ yesterday. Mr.. Sol Haas. the traffic man
1 ager Of the sRichmond and Danville, was
present, having come to Savannah for the
purpose Of meeting Savannah's business
men and having a free and frank talk with
them relative to the reports that the Rich
mond and Danville is not dealing fairly with
Savannah. He denied most emphstically
that any cotton had been diverted from
Savannah or that any effort had been made
to divert il. He stated that he was ready
and willing TO answer any questions that
might be asked him. There did not seem
to be any great anxiety to question him.
from which it is inferred that if business is
being diverted from Savannah by the Rich
mOnd and Danville none OF the merchants
know anything about it,
As much cotton has not been brought to
Savannah over the Central this season as
there was last, but there appears to be salts
factory reasons WHY there has not. One
reason is that the cotton crop in Georgia is
wv 20 AaA 80 AItS oplAoOA ho ~ was Anobf q LII
another, according to Mr.. Haas statement,
is that during a portion Of the season the
ocean freight rates at Charleston and
Brunswick have been lower than those at
Savannah. 1t was owing to this last rea.
son, Mr.. Haas says. that Savannah has not
received as much cotton from Augusta and
Columbus this season as she did last.
In view Of the fact that the Richmond
aud Danville is operating the Central, and
is responsible for the payment Of the Cen
trails fixed charges and per cent. divi-
dend on the CentraPs stock, there does not
seem 10 be any reason why it should try 70
reduce the Centrars earnings by turning
business away from Savannah.
If the reason given by Mr.. Haas for Au-
gusts and Columbus cotton going to other
ports than Savannah is correct, the Rich
mond aud Danville is not to blame for Sa-
vannah's loss of that cotton.
As a matter of fact, Savannah's receipts
this season are not so very much below
what they were last season, and Traffic
Manager Haas expressed the opinion that
the receipts next season will be relatively
much larger than this. The traffic Of the
new territory which the Richmond and
Danville has entered will, by that time,
seek an outlet at Savannah.
Unless it be fact that business is being
diverted from Savannah it is not good
policy TO make it appear that it is. II
Savannah is being injured by the railroads
that should contribute to her prosperity her
business men should take prompt and effeo-
tive measures to prevent such injury, but it
is a mistake to keep alive an agitation about
loss Of business for which no su bstantial
foundation can be found.

Only q Poor Girl.

The mcdesty OF some girls Is astonishing. says
the Chicago Press. It was only last evening
that life insurance agent, happy in the posses
sion OF silver dollar invited his best girl down
to noted ice cream paFlor TO have a dish Of
the delicious.
| and the young mans remark that be wondered
where they could get some ice cream was coyly
answered by the young lady with the informa-
tion that the st. - was open.
Ihither they went and the sad seqnel is best
man:
''Shs was poor girl, 3" he said, 'and had new
er eaten a mealthat cost more than a quarter
In her j e, and IL was with glad heart that I
rejected on this fact as we entered the gilded
saloon
But frailty. thy name is remorse What did
she DO but order So lunch-not a substantial
one, but lust 8 few tidbits. OF course. took
the same. Six dollars.
81 was so wrapped up in the nagnifcence
That never thought OF the cost till we were
ABOUT done eating and the waiter handed me
the bill and stood behind my chair anxiOusly
watching for $40 tip.
Then, and only then, realized the extent Of
that dollar IL burned my pocket and grew
ten years older as schemed how to pay that s.
bill WITH one silver dollar.
FINALLY, just as my fair companion lovingly
nioo!ed at the last spoonful of cream, idea
came 70 me Ike an inspiration. l took out the
silver dollar and gave it to the waiter. He
smiled. SO did my fair companion.
u
check for SO. as did not like 10 spare the cash
then: He smiled again, and again the wave of
sunshine passed over my fair companions face.
Il wrote out a check which he took with a
DOW, and we passed out into the cool air of the
street The stroll homeward was like dream
70 me, and talked all sorts of nonsense to my
friend, trying to conceal the thoughts that
raced through my brain
AT last she was ushered to her home and
then, like a wild man, l paced the streets
thinking thinking had not dollar in the hank, and
the check was merely bluff.
Still was consoled by the fact that the St.
- would not discover the fact tin the bank
opened in the morning, and had all night TO
raise the g.
Il was practically a stranger in the city and
knew not soul from whom to borrow money.
Ihere was nothing TO do but wait till morning
and pawn my watch.
MY sleep last night was feverish, and visions
OF striped clothes and iron cells passed through
my brain. With the first glow of light was up
this morning laying for a pawnbroker to open,
got $40 on my 500 watch and then laid for the
bank to open. have just deposited $40 and
the check can be cashed But and the young
mans voice was strangely solemn as he said it,
Il viii never again ask girl to take dish of
cream till am sure the place is open"
