Only q Bogus obel,sk.

One young woman was a stranger in the city
the other had been here once before, says the
New York Advertiser. One was blonde. the
other brunette. They we're standing on the
platform a. the New York tower of the bridge.
The blonde was telling her companion what
little she knew and much more that she didn't
know about the citys sights. Near them stood
a tall man of the masher variety. He was play
ing the ignoble part of esveSdropper.
Now, Ruth, that is the Egyptian obelisk -
shot tower in the lower part OF the city.
''Is that soH You don't mean that brown,
shaftike thing over there?"
Yes. that's Cleopatra's needle, dear and il

erous Mr.. Vanderbilt. Wasn't it real good of

Anybody, il they had had the means, would

trifle and would be glad TO do it again any

why" exclaimed the young woman in
amazement. ARE you Mr. vanderbilt?"
'Aty your service. ladies'" rephed the masher
with a low, sweeping bow.
Although the fair creatures looked iucredu-
lous they began to question him about the
famous relic, and kept the impudent fellow
busy giving alleged information.
'Wen," finally said the blonde, innpetuously
what are those tiny windows for?'
Lady" was the cool response 'those are
not windows, they are air hoea. Egyptians
had to breathe just the same as anybody else g"

to their relief.

The McDonough-Hsrmon a greement.
The agreement which the candidates for
mayor, Mr.. McDonough and Mr.. Harmon,
have mede will be very generally approved.
though with feeling Of regret that there
exists al excuse for il. The fact, however.
that there is a very large number OF voters
in the city who expect 10 be paid for voting,
and who would not take the trouble TO regis
ter il they did not expect to be paid. cannot
be ignored. The number Of purchosable
voters seems to increase at each local cleo
tion, and II something is not done 10 put a
stop TO bribery at elections it will not be
very long before those who have the longest
purses will hold the offices. The offices will
cost a great deal more than they are legitI-
mately worth. When that time comes q
class of men will get the offices who will
care very little for the public good They
Will aim to get their money back and much
more, by come means or other.
No doubt the law would be enforced
vigorously against those WHO accept brides
and those who give them if they could be
discovered, but where there is so much
bribery 1t is difficult matter to reach the

matter Of Indifference to him whether good
men or bad men get the Offices They
would vote for an unworthy man for a
small sum rather than good man for moth
ing.
The agreement that Mayor MoDonough
and Alderman Harmon have made will be
great disappointment to this class OF
voters. II they are satisfied that it will be
adhered to few Of them will register. Their
failure to do SO will not cause diseppoint-
ment. Without them and without the ex-
penditure Of money illegitimately the choice
Of the majority of those who really feel an
interest In the city is pretty certain to be
ascertained.
1t would be good thing il this agreement
should mark the beginning of reform in
this city and county-s reform in the direc-
tion Of purer elections.

The City Prin ting.

The MORNING News will do the city
printing this year. The price at which it
has agreed to do ii Is very loW-so low, In
fact. that it leaves no margin for profit.
The MORNING NEWS would not have made
a bid for the printing except Tor one reason,
aud that Is that great many Of its patrons
are interested 10 the official publications
of the city. and they constantly oom-
planned that these publications did not
appear in its columns. IS the MORNING
News goes into about every home In Savau-
nah, it was thought advisable TO comply
with their wishes il they could be complied
with without too great 9 sacrifice. The
MORNING News will do the printing at con-
siderable sacrifice, but there will be some
compensation In knowing that thoss OF its
patrons interested in the official sayings OF
the city are getting wha, they want.
There has been competition for the city
printing for good many years-years he-
fore our evening contemporary made its
bow 10 the publio--aDd there is, therefore,
hardly room for the claim that the city is
receiving any new benefit from recent COM
petition. However, the matter is of very
little consequence even to those most
directly interested,

Some OF the New York papers intimate
the possibility of deal between the rapid
transit commission and the Manhattan
Elevated railroad OF that city TO prevent the
building Of the proposed underground
rapid transit roads They base their de-
ductions upon the allegation that "the
franchises Tor the underground system wers
so made as TO be prohibitivs to capital" and
say the commission was too quick to put the
franchises out OF roach OF prospective pur-
chasers. An underground system. such as
the one proposed, would run in competition
with the Manhattan Elevated.

Representative Scouts public building
resolution, the consideration of which was
objected to by Mr.. Dingley. of Maine, was
intended to show that the reason the treas
ury department had neglected TO take steps
toward the construction Of a number OF
public buildings in various cities was be-
cause there was no money in the treasury
with which to prosecute the work. The
past two congresses ordered the erec-
tion of some seventy-five new buildings.
or this number contracts have been let for
only ten, sites have been selected for only
fifteen, and forty-seven OF them have been
neglected altogether. Mr.. Scott intended
TO show. through this failure TO carry out
tho orders Of congress. that the finances have
been and are In poor shape, and that the
administration has been aware OF the fact
FOR some, notwithstanding Secretary Fos-
tors assertions TO the contrary. But Mr..
Dingley, like the shrewd partisan that he is,
shut off the discussion with an objection
that carried the matter over. He know
that discussion OF the subject would show
the weakness Of { he administration where
1t should be strong.

Some Of the Interpretations put upon Mr..
Clevelsnd's stand against Mr.. Murphy for
senator from New York are ingenious and
amusing. One of this kind that has just
been prom uigated is that Mr.. Cleveland
waited until he was convinced that Mr.
Murphy was to be the senator selected by
Albany, and then issued his pronuncia>
mento against him. This, in so many
words, was a notice to Tammsny that IL ii
persisted in sending Murphy to Washing
ton, it need not look to Mr.. Cleveland for
fAvors In the way Of patronage, and that
any agreement made at the now famous
Victoria hotel dinner would be considered as
nullihed.

Not a Senator Maker.

Those newspapers aud politicians who
have been trying to make it appear that
Mr.. Cleveland is interfering in the senatorial
elections In those states in which democrats
will be elected to the Senate are beginning
to find out they are mistaken. The talk
about his setting up political machine and
playing the part of political boss has no
foundation whatever. With respect TO this
matter Col. Lamont, who is we'll qualified
to speak for him, says that Mr.. Cleveland
has not attempted 70 influence q single dem
ocratic legislature. He knows who the
senatorial candidates are aud he Is watchs
ing the contests in the doubtful states with
great interest, because he is particularly
anxious that the democrats shall have con
troll of the Senate, but he is not urging the
election of any particular candidate.
Even in New York, his own state, he has
no candidate. AS citizen he declared he
was opposed to Edward Murphy, Jr., for
senator, because he thinks Mr.. Murphy
hasn't the qualifications necessary to rep
resent New York in the Senate, but he has
done nothing more than utter a protest
against bis election. He has not urged the
selection OF any other man, and, in fact,
has no candidate. 1t cannot, therefore
be said that he is trying to control the
election of senators. and all OF those papers
that have been oriticlsing him, as il he had
gone into the business OF making senators,
are beginning to understand that they have
been condemninR him for something OF
which he Is entirely innocent. Mr.. CIeve-
