New York,s Nav Convention.

There is talk in New York to the effect
that the Hill men are preparing to capture
the May convention. If they have the vot-
ing strength they can do it, Of course, be-
cause the delegates are to be elected at
primaries, and every democrat has the right
to vote. Those permitted 70 vote will not
be confined to those who favor the nominal
ton of Mr.. Cleveland, nor to those who
signed the protest against the methods by
which Senator Hill secured the delegation
to Chicago.
But it is not probable that the Hill men
have any intention of making an effort TO
capture the May convention. They do not
recognize it as having any authority. But
If they should undertake TO get possession
of it they would place themselves in the po-
sition of admitting that there Is some reason
for it.
There is not much probability that they
could capture IL because the democrats
throughout the state are now wide awake
to the issue that has been raised between
Mr.. Cleveland and Senator Hill, and il
they should attempt to capture it. and
fail, they would have no ground for

represents the regular democracy.
There are indications that the delegation
elected by the midwinter convention is not
80 firmly attached to Senator Hills
political fortunes as it is supposed to be.
A Washington special says that a number
of Tammany men have been in that city
during the last few days sounding the poll
ticisns from the west and south. They
are quoted as saying that the instructions
to the New York delegation for Senator
Hill are not very binding, and will not be
adhered to very strictly if 1t becomes sp-
parent soon after the convention meets that
Senator Hills chances for the nomination
are not good. These Tammany leaders
said, II they are reported correctly, that
the New York delegation might be for Mr..
Cleveland, and that IL he was nominated
Tammany would do its best to elect him,
although he was not favorIte with many
Tammany men.
1t is apparent chat the Unexpectedly
strong Cleveland sentiment that is cropping
out all over the country in the election OF
delegates to the Chicago convention is hav-
ing its effect upon the Tammany politicians.
Within the last two or three days New
Hampshire, Connecticut, New Mexico and
Missouri have elected delegates favorable
to MIR. Cleveland and it is quite certain
that the Iowa delegation will go to
him after having given a complimentary
vote to Gov. Boies MIR. Cleveland must
now have at least half Of the convention.
1t is not to be wondered at, therefore, that
the Tammany leaders are beginning to say
the New York delegation is not bound to
Senator Hill by iron-clad instructions.

Henry Wizards Scheme.

Henry Willard, the railroad king, is a
believer in the electric motor. Some time
ago he expressed the opinion that in the
near future steam would be displaced by
electricity as a motive power on many of
the railroads Of the United States, and to
personal friends he is alleged to have said
that he believed by the time the worlds fair
opens freight and passenger trains will be
drawn into Chicago on some line by power
full electric motors. Mr.. Wizards actions Of
late have led certain persons to think that
he has in course OF preparation a scheme to
work out the problem of electric locomo-
tives himself He has for some weeks had
out several surveying and engineer
ing parties-one in Wisconsin and another
in the vicinity of Pittsburg. Exactly
what the purpose Of these expeditions is Mr..
Willard keeps to himself. But the story
comes from Pittsburg that experts in the
employ of the Westinghouse company
have picked up certain facts concerning the
visit of the engineers which lead to the be-
lief that the model railway motor pro-
PEELED by electricity, capable of developing
high speed and drawing a heavy load. has
been constructed, and it's operation is being
prepared for by Wizards men. Electricians
in Pittsburg confidently anticipate an &C.
curate public description of the new electric
locomotive at an early day. 1t may be,
after ALL that people will ride from Pitts
burg TO Chicago to attend the worlds fair
behind an electric motor.

chased ten grains of strychnine with which

tied it in a medicine drawer with some
quinine. On Tuesday night he thought he

he mixed his dose and swallowed it. AS
might be expected, he got hold of the wrong
package and swallowed the ten grains of
atrychnine. In short time he was dead
Mr.. Randolph was highly educated and
intelligent gentleman ana a contributor to
several leading magazines. He must have
been aware Of the character of the drug
which he laid away among his family medi-
cines, but took the chances Of remembering
that the poison was in the drawer as well as
the quinine. The incident should en-
phasize the care that ought to be used in
dealing with dangerous drugs.

The OVERLOOKING Mississippi.

There have been no very disastrous breaks
In the Mississippi levees yet, but the pros
pect is there will be- Vast volumes of
water are pouring into the Mississippi from
its tributaries. and it is already washing
over the levees In many places. A number
Of crevasses have occurred, but with two or
three exceptions they have been closed.
The great levees, those which protect
many plantations. have thus far withstood
the pressure against them, and the hope is
entertained that they will continue to do so.
A great overflow at this season of the
year would be very disastrous. The water
would not recede in time to permit of plant
ing cotton or cane this season. Hundreds
of plantations would be Idle throughout the
year.
Whether the plan for the improvement
of the Mississippi will be so far successful as
to prevent overhows is still an unsettled
question with engineers who have studied
the problem which the river presents.
Levees as they were constructed before the
government began the improvement of the
river tended to raise the bed Of the river, and,
consequently, the bed was gradually reach
ing the level of the adjacent lands. Now,
however, the water is 80 confined that it
scours out the bed. and the theory is that
eventually high levees win be unnecessary.
1t will require the expenditure of a great
deal more money, however, before it will
be possible to determine whether this theory
is correct.
But there is no doubt that at present the
plantations along the river are in great
danger of being overlooked whenever there
is an unusual amount of rain along the
rivers tributaries, and the amount has
been unusually large this year.

The Congressional Funeral.

From the Ne,p Orleans Times Democrat (Den,.)
A dead congressman costs the country about
$4,000, divided between his funeral and a eulo-
CYSTIC biography. both of which expenses are
paid out of the federal treasury. We can see no
reason whatever for this, why congressman
should be buried like paupers at the public ex-
pense, or why the government should go into
the publishing business and print biographies
of them; and the worse feature is that the cost
of both funerals and biographies is steadily in
creasing, until it will become a serious and very
expensive matter to the people to have a con-
gresham die during his term of Office. 1t is to
be hoped that congress will put an end to this
growing abuse

The young German emperor has given
the newspapers and politicians two more
extraordinary scenes" to talk about. and
upon which to base all sorts Of dark predic-
tions. At the barracks of the Emperor Fran
els Joseph regiment in Berlin last Saturday
night, where the emperor was entertained
at a banquet by the officers, he called in and
congratulated sentry named Lueok upon
his merit as a soldier and his devotion to
duty. The act for which Lueck was thus
distinguished was the killing of one work
ingman in cold blood and the wounding of
another before the barracks in the
Frangel strasse six weeks ago. The
workingmen were drunk, and engaged
In quarrel with the sentry, who was on
duty at the barracks. The men were un-
armed, and started to run away, when

was not content with commanding the muir
derous sentry before his officers. At the
parade at Tempelhoferfeld he unexpectedly
appeared on horseback and again called out
Lueck, commended his action and nomi-
mated him for especial favor. These incl
dents have given rise to much bitter COM

Germany and of the military as we'll If the
emperor had been content to refrain from
mentioning the matter after the banquet,

but easy sailing in the northern states. A
small meeting was held in New York city
last week at which an address was issued
appealing to all labor organizations to sup
port the St Louis platform. Up to Monday

On the other hand, the Central Labor

by the labor societies, the tin and sheet iron
workers among them, to refuse to indorse the
platform. 1t has become a common express
sion that anything under the sun can get a
