In a Bad Way.

The Richmond Terminal is in danger of
following the Richmond and DAnviIle into
the hands OF receiver. A loan to the
Richmond and Danville due TO one Of the
city banks Oh New York, for 800, 200, has
been called. as shown by our dispatches
this morning, and the bank has announced
It's purpose of selling the oollAtersls pledged
for the loan at auction to-day unless the
loan is paid. The Richmond Terminal is
+ the indorser of this and several other loans
to the Richmond and Danville, and 1t is
thought the action Of the city bank will
force the appointment Of receiver for the
Richmond Terminal
1t looks as if the Richmond Terminal
was very near the end of its career. 1t

nearly all Of which bear 6 per cent.
interest. 1t doesn't appear to have
any assets that yield an income. 1t owns
the capital stock of the Richmond and Dan
vile, AZ. 900 shares of the Georgia Centrals
stock, the stock of the Georgia Pacific, and
considerable amount Of the stock of the
East Tennessee. Virginia and Georgia. 1t
is not probable that either the Richmond
and Danville, the Georgia Central or the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia will
be able to pay any dividend on its stock for
some time TO come. The Georgia Pacific
doesn't earn its fixed charges. That being
the case, where is the Richmond Terminal
to get anything with which to pay the in
terest on its bonds1 1t may have some
other assets than those mentioned, but
Messrs. Maben, Goodby and Clyde stated in
their application for a receiver for the
Richmond and Dsnville, that the Richmond
Terminal depended for its income upon the
foregoing roads,
II this view of the condition OF the Rich
mond Terminal is correct Drexel, Morgan
81 Co. ought not to have much trouble in
settling its affairs and the affairs of the diff
ferent properties it controls. The easiest
plan would be to wipe out the Richmond
Terminal altogether by selling its assets for
what they will bring aud dividing the pro-
ceeds among its bondholders. Relieved of
the burden of the Terminal. the East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia aud the Rich-
nond and Danville could probably take
care of their fixed charges.

Hills PoRition.

In conversation, reported IN Mondays
New York Herald, Mr.. Chauncey NJ. Depew
is reported as saying that Senator Hill 90.
cupies a very difficult position. He ex-
planned what he meant as follows: "Should
the democrats nominate man outside of
New York do not see that It would make
much difference in Mr.. Hills control of the
state machine, but should Mr.. Cleveland be
nomineted-and it looks to me fron the
dispatches that he will be-Mr. Hill will
have TO do one of two things, either elect
MIR. Cleveland aud see the federal patron
age turned over to Mr.. Cleveland's friends,
or defeat him aud retain his grasp of the
state organization. Will Senator Hill do
the heroic sacrifice act or the martyr act?
WhichW
From the foregoing it would seem as il
Senator Hill, in Mr.. Depew's opinion, was
largely instrumental in causing Mr.. Cleve-
land to lose New York in 1888, because the
conditions then were very nearly as Mr..
Depew describes them to be now. But
whether Senator Hill was true to Mr.. Cleve-
land In 1888 or not he could hardly afford to
try to defeat Mr.. Cleveland this year if the
latter should be nominated. The very sorry
figure he is now cutting at Chicago shows
him that by democrats outside OF New York
he is distrusted, and that II he hopes to ever
get the presidential nomination of his party
he must convince the democrats Of the whole
country that he is, and has always been
faithful to the party. 1t may be that
he did all he could for Mr.
l. gk u. \
Is made the standard bearer of the party
this year she will do his utmost to elect him,
but before he can have any ground for
hoping for the highest honor In the gift OF
his party he must make II clear that he is
faithful to his party. BE can far better
afford to give up bis hold upon the party
machinery IN New York than he can to rest
under the suspicion Of any considerable
portion OF his party Of having sought to
bring about his party's defeat

A Disorganized Opposition.

The prospects for Mr.. Cleveland's noni-
nation on the first ballot are better now than
they have been at any time since the dele
gates began assembling at Chicago. ms
deed, it would not be surprising if there
should be very little opposition to him. The
Tammany leaders found out very soon after
the delegates began to assemble that Senator
Hill had no prospect of getting the nominal
ton, and they were more firmly convinced
that this view of the situation was correct
when they saw the impression the Tammany
crowd made upon the delegates from other
states than New York. According TO a
Herald report, Mr.. Croker, the chief Tam
many leader, was compelled to order the
Tammanyites TO cease their yelling.
All the tougher Tammanyites are kept in
the back ground. The better looking and
better dressed of the Tammany delegates
are kept on exhibition, with the view OF
creating the impression that Tammany is
better than it is represented to be. From
the reports 1t is evident that Tammany has
not helped Senator Hill In the least.
1t seems about impossible to get the OPP
position to unite upon a candidate. And
that is the main reason why it is believed
that Mr.. Cleveland will be nominated on
the first ballot. AS soon as it becomes
clearly apparent that he has more than a
majority there will be movement to him
that it will be impossible for the opposition
leaders TO check unless they can get their
forces to unite upon q candidate before

The ocean like mans;

The measure that it spans!

And RACES round the world;
On reef and wreck eternally
Its ruthless waves are hurled.
The sky has many gloomy cloud
And many a rainy dash;
Sometimes the storms are long and loud,
With wind and lightning flash.
But ever somewhere, fair and sweet,
Low stoops the adoring blue,
Where ocean heavenward leaps to greet
The sky so soft and true.
They meet and blend all around the rim.

What cups Of fervid rapture brim
On the horizon line?

And neither dreams below, above,
