The Terminal People Show Their Hand.
The Richmond Terminal people showed
their hand yesterday. They do not intend
that either the Richmond Terminal or the
Richmond and Danville sball figure to any
extent IN the courts II they can help it. The
Georgia Pacific is put forward to stand the
brunt Of tie litigation. and It is alleged in
behalf Of that company that It's act i'll leas-
ing the Central was not authorized, because
its stockholders were not consulted 1t will
be interesting to hear what the court
has TO say ON that point And
it might be we'll TO ask whether the attor-
neys of the Richmond Terminal told the
Terminal people that the lease was Of doubt
full validity at the time it was made because
it was not ratified by the stockholders of
the Georgia Pacific, and whether the adj
visers of the Central failed to inquire
whether such ratification was necessary to
the validity Of the lease.
The Richmond and Danville, having a
lease of the Georgia Pacific, claims that it
operated the Central only because the Cen
trail was leased to the Georgia Pacific. and
it puts in claim of $780, 900 for money
spent on the Central. The purpose of the
Terminal people is to have the lease declared
invalid 80 that they and the Richmond and
Danville may be released from their ST.
600, 900 bond, and De in a position to push
the Richmond and DanvDle's claim for
$4,000 against the Central.
The Richmond and Danville have the
books, and it would be a difficult matter to
find ont how much the Richmond and Dam
vile got out of the Central or how much
it spent upon it. From some Of the
affidavits it is clear it did not spend as much
on the Central as it ought to have done,
because IL the affidavits are true neither the
rolling stock nor the roadbed has been kept
at as high standard as it should have
been.
Now that the case has got into the courts
it is to be hoped that it will be made clear
who is responsible for the present unfortu-
nate condition of the Central. The Central
is Georgia institution. in which Georgians
feel pride, and there is a strong desire to
know ell the steps by which it finally got
into the courts.

Illustrating a Point.

"You dontknow how glad am to see you in
terested in this noble work." said the rector of
a Detroit church. according to the Tribune, ad
dressing the Children's Foreign Mission
Society. THESE poor heathens know nothing
of our ways of life. They live in huts, dress in
skins Of animals and never go to school or 10
church. They have never heard the blessed
gospel and you can help to spread the good
news among them.
You can scarcely form an idea of what
they are or how they live" he continued
why, children, these poor people are as black
as black-er-why. children, they're as black

Two big boys on the front seat snickered and
an audible smile ran through the elder portion
OF the congregation, while poor DR.. Tenthly got
red and white by turns and gave out a hymn to
relieve the general embarrassment.

That was neat little speech that Col.
Mercer delivered on taking the chair at
Wednesday nights meeting Of the Demo-
cratic Campaign Club. IL was we'll put
and full of excalent advice. Every citizen,
as Col. Mercer said, who desires good gov
eminent, should take an interest In public
affairs. He should be active in trying to
get the best men obtsinable into the offices,
for without honest, earnest and efficient
officials there can be no such thing as good
government. Col. Mercer's public addresses,
whether long or short, prepared or unpre-
pared, are models. He is au orator who is
always heard with pleasure and profit.

The supreme court of Wisconsin has
declared the last congressional apportion-

The gerrymander was made by a demo

court consisting Of three democrats and
two republicans. The courts decision was
unanimous, and the chances ara that the
court is right and the legislature wds wrong.
The decision may make the democrats vince

In the Sick Room.
From Puck,

from Ettcks
Among the pillows propped In sweet repose
She feels the heavy time slip slow away;
She's weary OF the blushing crimson rose
That seems no longer gay.
She does not hear the bird OF melody
That sweetly sings within gold cage shut;
And several brand new novels round her lie,
Unopened and uncut.
But now a smile fits DER her features free;
All suddenly, her dreams with pleasure filled
Her soft brown eyes dilate exciedly-
She's with rare rapture thrilled.
She sees above the morning paper bowed
The nurse; and then the convalescent pale
Asks her il she will kindly read aloud

The exchange Of diplomatic notes that has
taken place recently between the President
aud Lord Salisbury relative to the Boring
sea question has produced disgusting
effect both In this country and Europa. The
President became triad OF Lord SaIisbury's
evasons Of the real point at issue between
them, aud hs stated his own position so
plainly and bluntly that Lord Salisbury
will find it difficult to answer without dis
closing what his real intention Is.
What the President wants Is a renewal
OF the modus vivsndi pending the arbitra-
tion for which the treaty, recently nego-
tiated but not yet ratified. providss In
other words, be wants England to assist In
preventing the Canadian poachers from de-
stroving the seal herds during the time the
question Of the right of the Canadians 70
catch seals In Bering sea is being deter
mined. Instead Of replying directly TO the
question whether or not England would do
so. Lord Salisbury has made several pro-
positions, all bearing upon the
same subject, none Of which
has been satisfactory. Finally
the President notified him that unless be
agreed to renew the modus vivendi of last
year the United States would undertake
alone to keep Boring sea free Of Canadian
poachers.
This aggressive announcement meant. Of
course, that the United States would seize
gagged in catching seals. Naturally the
English newspapers are very much stirred
up by the Presidents note. They declare
he is only playing game of bluff In order
to create sentiment that will help him in
getting denomination and a reelection.
The London Telegraph expresses the opinion
that the attempt Of ths President
to embrol the two nations
will not assist him In getting a second
term. and declares that it is glad that Lord
Salisbury has ordered the Pacific squadron
60 proceed to Boring sea, because history
has always proved that the easiest mode Of
securing peace is to show promptitude IN
preparing for Defense"
The ordering northward Of the British
squadron in the Pacific is in the nature of a
threat. II amounts TO saying that England
will not submit to having vessels flying the
British flag seized.
What course will the President pursue II
Lord Salisbury's reply to his last note
should not be more satisfactory than the
previous ones! Will he carry into effect his
threat to seizs Canadian poaohers! II he
does there may be trouble between this
country and England.
The probabilities, however. are that Lord
Salisbury will accede to the Presidents de-
mand for renewal of the modus vivendi
and that the Bering sea difficulty will be
settled without any disturbance of the
friendly relations Of the two countries,

Hilrs Strength in the South.

In long article summing up Senator
HILLS strength. the New York World says:
an short, while Mr. Kills strength since
veloped somewhat in the south, he has made
little or no gain inthe north, the northwest
or New England; and ii is significant that,
In spite OF tbs power Of example, be is not
receiving invitations from any states north
of Mason's aud Dixon's line"
A full and fair review OF the political
situation in those parts Of the south visited
by Senator Hin iustifles the opinion that he
made little or no impression upon the south
ern people during his recent southern tour.
The statement has been made that after he
left Jackson, Misa. the prevailing senti-
ment there was rather unfavorsble TO him,
and it is worthy Of notice that at Birming-
ham. Ala, a very large Cleveland club has
been formed since his visit. numbering. it
is said, fully 1000 voters. IL includes
the most influential men Of that city men
who represent the prevailing political senti-
ment in Alabama. At Atlanta there was
no demonstration In Senator Hills behalf
when he passed through that city, and in
this city very large club,' composed Oh
men who are opposed to him, has been
formed within the last two or three days.
Senator Hills southern tour seems to have
done him harm rather than good, because it
has had the effect OF making the opposition
to him active. The reception accorded
him in the south has been misunderstood in
the north. He was received and treated as
a distinguished democrat rather than as
presidential candidate seeking support.
That being the case the inference
that be is strong in the south
because crowds Of people gathered to see
him at the various places at which he
stopped is an erroneous one. Unless a great
change take place in southern sentiment be-
tween now and the time Of holding the state
conventions the number OF Hill delegates
will be comparatively small
