The richmond terminal Plan.

| It begins to look as if the plan for the re-
organization of the Richmond Terminal
would be successful. Up to Thursday very
few Of the securities Of the Terminal and
the different properties connected with 1t
had been deposited for exchangefor the Be-
curities OF the new company, but on that
day the securities began to come In.
and at the close OF business hours a very
large amount Of them had been received
by the Central Trust Company. There is,
therefore, a more hopeful feeling among
those who have the plan In charge.
Two things appear to have had the effect
thus far Of creating doubt as to whether
the plan would be a success. One is the
doubt among security holders as to what
the market value of the new securities
would be, and the other is the alleged desire
of the First National Bank party to defeat
the plan so that the market value OF many
Of the securities would decline 50 greatly
that the holders of the securities would be-
come alarmed and be willing to sell them at
q great sacrifice. The First National Bank
party would then purchase them for much
less than their real value.
the Terminal people appears to be quite
clear. Some Of them may be trying to do
what is best for the security holders, but
there IS a suspicion that there are others
whole sole object is to gather in all the
plumber they can. They are wreckers who
grow rich upon the distress of others.
In our dispatches yesterday it was stated
that the Richmond and Danville would
have gone into the hands of a receiver if
100000 had not been raised to meet its
most pressing obligations And this is a
road that has been paying dividend Of
10 per cent. on its stock. 1t is apparent
that it did not earn the dividend it paid,
but thai 1t borrowed money to do so.
And the Central of Georgia does not appear
to have earned the per cent. it paid. That
dividend was paid, however, and a debt
created that will be burden on the road
for years. One OF these days. doubtless. it
will be possible to obtain a statement which
will show exactly how the Central got into
financial difficulties and who are response
bic for the difficulties.
All the statements which are appearing
in the New York papers relative to the
Terminal reorganization plan indicate that
it is the purpose of the Terminal people to
bring the Georgia Central into the plan il
the plan proves to be successful. There is
no danger Of their interfering with the
Central at present, however, and not in the
very near future if the reorganization
scheme fails.

Too Punctual.

The Hindu places a clock in his show rooms,
not because he ever desires to know what the
hour is, but because a clock is a foreign curl
osity, says the Manchester CEng) Times In
stead, therefore, OF contentln2 himself with one
good clock, he VIII perhaps have q dozen in one
room. They are signs OF his wealth, but hey
do not add to his comfort, for he is iuditfer-
ent to time that he measures 1t by the number
of bamboo lengths the sun has Travelled above
the horizon. In the country police stations,
observed time is measured by placing IN a tub
OF water a copper pot In which small hole has
been bored. 1t is supposed that it will take one
hour Tor the water to leak into pot so as to
fl 1t and sink it. When the policeman SEES that
the pot has disappeared he strikes the hour on
bell-ike gong If he is smoking or doing,
the copper pot may have disappeared several
minu'e S before he discovers the facG-but the
hour is when he strikes The gong
A writer in Temple Bar tells an amusing
story TO illustrate the Hindus indifference in
this regard When the railway was first opened
in a new part of India 1t took long time and
many bitter experiences to convince the natives
that train always started on time. Shortly
after the opening OF the new line a deputy
commissioner sent his native servant with his
letter bag to put on board the mail car. Pres
emily the man returned with the bag, having
missed the train. you had not half mile to
go, and you knew that the train left the station
at O'clock said the angry commissioner.
YES, truly" answered the native in an az
grieved tone; but sahib, when it strikes 3
clock here the train goes from therel" Such
sharp practice tine native had never known
before, and he did not think it creditable to the
company.

Old Times, Old Friends, Old Love.
From the ChicG 10 Netos

There are no days like the good old days
The days when we were youthful!
When huma kind were pure of mind
And speech and deeds were truthful;
Before love for sordid gold
Became mans ruling passion,
And before each dame and maid became
Slave to the tyrant fashion!
There are no girls like the good old girls
Against the world I'd stake enl
As buxom and smart and clean of heart
AS the Lord knew how to make EN-!
They were rich in spirit and common sense,
And piety all supportin';
They could bake and brew, and had taught
school, TOO,
And they lpads the likelest courtin'!
There are no boys ike the good old boys
When we were boys together.
When the grass was sweet to the brown bare
feet
That dimpled the laughing heather;
When the pewee sung to the summer dawn
OF the bee in the billowy clover,
Or down by the mill the whip-poor-wlll
Echoed his night song over.
There is no love like the good old love
The love that mother gave us.
We are old, old men, yet we pine again
For that precious grace-God save us.
So we dream and dream OF the good old times,
And our hearts grow tenderer, fonder,
AS those dear old dreams bring soothing
CLEANS
OF heaven away off yonder.

One part Of the Columbian celebration
provided for in the act of congress creating
the worlds fair has apparently bsen over
looked of late-the naval review and parade
in New York harbor and at Hampton
Roads. The act provides that an inter-
national naval review at these places shall
be he'd at the time the fair is opened at
Chicago, but so far there has bsen no ap-
preparation for the purpose and but very
little work of promotion" done 1t is an
ticipated that large number of foreign
warships will take part in the demonstra-
ton, and lnasmuch as this is the only part
of the great show that the At.
lantic seaboard will get. the people
on this coast might as well prepare to
make the most Of it, If toe programme is
carried out-and there appears no good rea .
son why it should not be-the sight will be
an imposing one. and worthy tribute to
the memory of the old sailor who discovered
America and TO the progress Of the great
country he discovered. The programme of
the committee having the matter in charge
includes visits by the international fleet to
Z number of southern ports, including
Charleston, Savannah, Key West and Gal
weston. A congressional appropriation of
$3.50, 900 will be asked for the review, which
congress can hardly refuse.

Robert Louis Stevenson, the writer of
horrors in novel form, is in Samoa for his
health. Recently he was drawn into island
politics and presided at several public meet
ings, which leads the New York Tribune to
remark that he may become King of Ss-
moa" one OF these days shortly. That might
suit Stevenson as an odd job, but the king
business, on an island in the middle of the
Pacific with only half-civilized subjects,
would be quite come-down for high
toned novelist who has had the world do
him homage, and he would get tired of it
after while and wish to quit There have
been kings before now who earnestly desired
to let go, but could not, and it might be the
same way with King Robert. Anyway,
column rates In United States newspapers
will pay him better than any salary Samoa
could pay him for playing the part Of king.

Five Stata Tickets.

Louisiana is getting bigger dose of poll
tics than she finds agreeable. Her state
election occurs April 10, and there are five
state tickets in the field. Two are demo-
cratic, two republican and one is that Of the
PEOPLES party.
1t is greatly to be regretted that the demo-
Gratis cannot adjust their differences. Each
faction is more bitterly hostile to the other
than either is toward the Republican
party, and there does not appear to be any
probability of their coming together.
There is talk to the effect that the McEnery
faction of the democrats will form come
sort of a combination with the Leonard fac
ton of the republicans. In that event the
chances are that Leonard will be elected
governor. He is a native of the state and
a man OF considerable ability. Years ago
when Warmoth was governor he was a
democrat of the red-hot sort, and lod the
democratic forces Of North Louisiana
against the carpet-bag gang He did not
find much profit 10 that, however, and went
over to that gang, and became one of its
leaders. He was made United States dis
trict attorney and transferred his residence
TO New Orleans. After his term of office
expired he went back to North Louisiana
where he resides at present.
The trouble with the Louisiana democrats
is that there are not offices enough for all the
leaders. They all want to get into office, and,
consequently, the party is generally split up
into factions. The present split in the party
was brought about ostensibly by the lottery
issue, but when that issue was removed by
the announcement of the lottery company
that it intended to go out of business the
two factions were as wide apart as ever
1t then became apparent that the real diff
ference between them was the desire for
| the offices. And the fight between them is
of such violent character that each would
rather the republicans should have control
of the state than that the other should win
the election.
