The Old Csmatsrv CONDEMNED.


One Of the members Of the city council
has spoken ont boldly against permitting
the Old South Broad street cemetery to re-
main in it, present condition, ami it Is to
be hoped that al tho Others will j3in with
him IL devising means for It's Improvement.
For years the question OF mp owing that
piece OF ground has been discussed, but
nothing has been done toward accomplish.
ing that Objecr. because the council has not
taken bold Of the matter with such vtgor and
determination as would conquer success.
There are a few who oppose any improve
ment OF the cemetery that would make It
more public than It is, but their opposite
is based upon a sentiment that would doubt
less yield TO reason. In-other old cities OF
the country streets have been cut through
old cemeteries, and in not few instances
not a trace Of the cemeteries remain. The
old South Broad street cemetery win cease
to be a cemetery some time. Public senti-
ment Will not tolerate it many more years.
Why not, then. begin the removal OF the re-
mains at once while there are those living
who will see that they are properly de-
posted in a suitable place, where they are
not likely 70 be again disturbed Ten or
twenty years hence there may be no one
who will care what is done with the graves.
The council should open Lincoln street at
once and widen Abercorn street from South
Broad to Liberty. When these improve
meuts are made the public Will demand
others. In year or two the old cemetery
can be made very attractive spot without
infringing upon the rights Of any who
claim ownership in the land. Has the
councilman who condemned the old ceme-
terry at the council meeting Wednesday
night the qualities necessary to lead sue
cessful movement for the improvement Of
it, We believe he has. He will have
plenty of encouragement if he will start the
movement

The Facts Ignored.

There is no paper In the country that is
20 ready to ignore facts in political matters
as the New York Press, the most Extensively
| partisan Of the republican newspapers. A
day or two ago it published the following:
The dismissal OF Robert Blaine, a brother
Of the dead statesman, from a small clerk
ship in the agricultural department is one
Of the most remarkable acts OF the Cleve-
land administration. IL is credited to Judge
Gresham. who. according to stories brought
from Washington, cherishes especial ami
mostly toward the friends OF Harrison and
the late Secretary Blaine. II is said that
friends Of Gresham endeavored to get Mr..
Blaine to favor Greshams presidential aspi-
rations in 1883. He refused absolutely
saying he did not regard Gresham as e fit
man for the high office. He is too vim
dictive,' said Blaine, in substance. He is
intensely selfish. 1 do not regard him as a
sincere or safe man for President OF
course Mr.. Blaine's opinion was communi-
Gated TO Gresham. No opportunity pre-
sented itself during MI Blaine's lifetime
| for an expression of Mr.. Gresham's feeling;
but the Secretary OF State is now credited
in Washington withrevenging himself upon
Mr. Blaine's brother
The republicans will never forgive Judpe
Gresham for severlng his connection with
the Republican party and assisting to elect
Mr.. Cleveland. The foregoing paragraph
was written apparently for no other pur-
pose than 20 make IL the means of getting
before the public what is alleged to have
been the late James q. Blaines opinion of
Judge Gresham. What Mr.. Blaine's opin-
ion Of Judge Gresham wac, however, Is not
a matter Of much consequence. If he ever
expressed the opinion attributed to him he
did so because be was not on good terms
with Judge Gresham. Many people said
unkind things about Mr.. Blaine dur
ing the Iatter's lifetime, but as they
were said by his enemies they produced
very little effect.
Il can be safely stated that Secretary
Gresham did not know that the late Mr..
Blaine had brother ia the agricultural de-
partment, and II he did 1t Is certain that he
made no effort 70 have him removed.
Neither did Mr.. Cleveland suggest that
Robert Blaine be removed. The New York
Press was well aware, when it published
AhO ANA0sOAHS po' ak oPh' 'uaC Tue ollce
which Robert Blaine held had been abol-
ished as being utterly useless. and the Sec
rotary Of Agriculture has several times
stated that he did not know who occupied
it when 1t was abolished. There is no reason
to doubt the truth OF what lie says about it.
WHAT ground, therefore, is there for the
Press paragraph What excuse has 1t for
insinuating that Secretary Gresham mad

ne Attack Upon Juars speer.

Those Who are hostile 70 the plan for the
reorganization OF the Central railroad
will naturally be inclined to give
greater weight 70 the attack which
Mr. Crawford made upon Judge
Spesr in his speech Tuesday and wednesday
II the United States circuit court IN behalf
Of the Richmond Terminals interest in the
/ Central than it is entitled TO- What Mr..
/ Crawford said was in substance what ap-
peared in a letter some tins ago over the
| signature OF DR.. Oakman. the president OF
/ the Richmond Terminal Company. When
that letter was published there was al i'm
preston that Mr.. Crawford was the author
OF It, and what Mr. Crawford said in his
speech confirms that impression.
The Richmond Terminal people have any
thing but kindly feeling for Judge Spser.
And their hostility, there is reason to be-
lisve, Is not due 70 anything that be has
done since the Il. 900 shares Of the Central
railroad. controlled by the Richmond Ter

OF those shares and to the appointments OF a
receiver on the petition Of Rowens Clarke.
Judge Speer appointed the first receiver
for the Central, but be is not alone RESPONSE
bic Cor the locking up Of the 1900 shares
The fact that no appeal was ever taken
from the decision locking up those shares is
pretty good evidence that it was not be-
lieved that q higher court would set that
decision aside.
Judge SDeer's acts in connection with the
plan for the reorganization OF the Central
may not stand legal test, but it is certain
that Judge Speer believes them to be in &C
cordance with the law and for the best
interests Of the Centrars creditors. II be
has erred it has been in trying 70 protect
the Centrars properties. But it remains

Judge Speer was called upon to act in its
affairs. Had it not been for the injury the
Central suffered under the Richmond Ter,

Reoraanization of the Terminal.

1t is announced, finally, that Drexel,
Morgan & Co. have undertaken the reor-
ganizstion Of the Richmond Terminal
Their scheme Of reorganization may not be
made public for some time. It is probable
that only its general outlines have been
agreed upon. Two things in connection
with it may be regarded as certain. 1t will
have an abundance Of money back of it and
it will cut deep into the values Of the securi-
ties.
Win the Central be included IN its The
activity Of the Richmond Terminal manage
ment in trying to have the Hol-
Inns plan defeated indicates that ID
will. Before the Hollins plan
was proposed, and when Drexel
Morgan & Co. first thought of recognizing
the Richmond Terminal, it was understood
that the 1900 shares of the Central held
by the Richmond Terminal would be treated
as an asset Of the Terminal The Rollins
plan. however, takes the control Of the Gem
trail from the Richmond Terminal Under
these circumstances, it is hardly probable
that the 4, 900 shares will be treated as an
asset.
There are reasons for thinking that it
was pretty we'll understood a good while
ago by those acquainted With Richmond
Terminal secrets that all the Terminal prop
critics were 70 be reorganized and bound to-
gether in one great system. 1t is not inn
probable that it is the intention Of Drexel
Morgan & Co. to try to carry out that
scheme now.

Considerable newspaper discussion has
been called forth ty the query: What
shall be done with the Columbus caravels
after the worlds fair9n 1t will be remem-
bered that they will then be the property Of
the United States. The question will prob
ably answer itself by the time an answer is
really wanted. The vessels will, Of course,
be useless for any practical purpose, but In
historical and educational sense they will
be invaluable. For that reason they will
be almost constantly in demand by sea-
board cities holding public festivals aud
celebrations, and it would seem to be
good idea for the government to let them
visit any city that would pay the cost Of
transportation.

Nanderbilt's son-in-law, who died in

rich a man in his own right, it
seems, as he was generally supposed to be.
His will disposes of an estate estimated to
be worth sl.35O,00O, a large portion Of
which is devised to various churches. Posi-
bly, the most notable bequest OF them all is
that to st. Paups church at Tarsus, Asia
Minor. to which he leaves the sum Of $780, =
600. The residuary estate, the value of
which it would be hard TO estimate as it

stage line and an express company, is left
to his children for life. The bequest of the
newspaper and stage line property provides
that neither Of the enterprises shall be oper-
ated on Sundays.
