lad to Deposit a Contingent Fund.
R. E. Johnston of New York, who engaged
rooms yesterday al the Victoria for the world S
fair months, said to the Inter Ocean man: Il
want those rooms, and if neces airy III leave
deposit Of S25 to pay my funeral expenses if l
Should die" Cashier Wheaton thought the
man was crank, but asked him why he sntici-
pated dying next summer. Then Mr.. Johnston
told this story: Il was in Panama once during
yellow fever epidemic. l went to a hotel.
The proprietor, who now has a hotel in New
York, asked me. after l had registered, to
make deposit OF S25.s l had great amount
OF aggage. had been guest of the hotel be-
fore, and felt offended that he should ask me to
deposit anything in advance. told him that
would not do 1t, but would 90 to another hotel.
You'll have 10 deposit that SIS anywhere
you Co." he said.
Il asked him why well, you see, he said.
i have had twenty people die In my house Of
yellow fever. and have been obliged to bury
most Of them at my own expense. 1t is simply
matter Of self-protectiOn. II you die I'll bury
you decently spending the whole S25 on your
nterment. On the other hand. If you don't die
III give you back the money when you leave
Il gave him the deposit, continued Mr. John
son, 'but had not been in the house forty
eight hours before there were three deaths,
In the meantime, though, The hotel men
had appealed to the local authorities, who
guar anteed to bury the dead, assuming
all expense. do not know whether these three
people who died had paid deposit or not but
| do know that the man who is now boniface
in iott had the bodies loaded into a wagon
and dumped unceremoniouslY Oh the floor of
the vacant room, which courtesy but nothing
else called morgue. These bodies were bur
led In cheap collins without stone to mark
their resting places, and no last messages were
conveyed to friends in foreign lands
Il am going to stay in Chicago ell next sum-
mer and if should die l want to be buried

The Good Of DELAYED Legislation.

From the NetC York Evening Post (Tndl.
Congress is drawing to a close with both
houses Choked with unfinished business. This
is the customary state of affairs, and no doubt
has its evils. 1t is not an ideal way of conduct
ing the public business to have the great appro-
priation bills for the conduct of the govern
ment crowded into the closing hours Of the ses-
sio,, where they can receive no adequate dis.
cussion. Then the disagreement of the House
aud Senate opens the way for the conference
committee 10 get in its fine work, which, as
everybo knows, has led to some of the most
scandalous legislation. Still, there is this 20 be-
said, that these beated but necessary bills can
DO most useful clubs TO kill of the more pestif-
erous measures which count upon the hurry
and confusion Of the end OF the session to slip
through. Greatly delayed business cannot be
called an unmixed evil il it results, as it now
seems likely TO, in heading OF the anti-option
bill and the Hawaiian treaty,

Mr. Cleveland,s Cabinet.

/ Mr. Clsveisnd's cabinet Is completed, and
! a very good cabinet It is. The announce
mont was made in our dispatches yesterday
that Richard Olney, Of Boston, Mass, had
( been selected for Attorney General, and
hilary A Herbert, Of Montgomery, Ala,
for Secretary Of the Navy. Both Mr..
OIney and Mr.. Herbert are well qualified
for the positions for which t1ey
have been chosen. Mr.. Oluey IS
lawyer who has won high
place in his profession aud who enjoys in
marked degree the respect Of his fellow citl-
zens Mr.. Herbert Is serving his eighth term
in congress- and rs chairman Of the naval
committee is thoroughly familiar with the
needs Of the navy department. He is one
OF the foremost men Of the House and is in
thorough sympathy with the policy Of
building up the navy. His fitness for the
place for which be has been selected was so
generally recognized that there was strong
pressure brought TO bear upon Mr.. Cleve-
land in his behalf.
Ii can be stated with almost absolute Ger
tainty that the men who form Mr.. Cleve-
lands cabinet are in hearty sympathy with
him on all the questions that are now at
tracing public attention. No doubt the
views Of each one Of them on public mat
ters was sought by Mr.. Cleveland before be-
ing invited to become a member of his Of
fetal household.
1t has been stated that It is Mr.. Cleve-
lands purpose to make his administration
business one. The men he has chosen to
manage the great departments of the gov
eminent indicate that the statement is COR
rect Mr.. Cleveland viii seek to retain the
confidence of the people by having his ad
ministration give its whole attention TO
their interests. Mr.. Cleveland will not
be a candidate for denomination,
aud there is no room to think
that any one of bis secretaries will use his
position to be Mr.. Cleveland's successor.
But Mr.. Cleveland will strive to 80 ad-
minister the trust conflded TO him that
democrat will succeed him and that the
Democratic party will have long lease of
power.
In the cabinet each section Of the country
is represented. If Carlisle is classed as a
western man the west has three representa-
tives, the east three and the south two Mr..
Carlisle, however, is as much Of a southern
as western man, and it can be fairly said
that the west and the south have five OF the
eight cabinet positions.

Chicago Charges Conspiracy.


An unseemly controversy is going on be-
tween Chicago and an Intangible somebody
or something somewhere in New York.
Chicago is doing the talking, so that her an
tsgonist cannot be identified or even cor
reotly located. She charges that there is in
New York deep conspiracy to injure the
worlds fair, and points TO the withdrawal
Of a number OF unnamed New York firms
as proof OF it. The New Workers are not
named for fear they would be advertised
thereby.
Various chiefs of departments OF the fair
assert that New York firms are withdraw
ing, after having been granted the space
thsy asked for, and are trying to get other
exhibitors to withdraw, for the sole purpose
Of iniuriug the city and the fair. They say
that in some instances special favors have
been shown the Gothamites in the matter of
selection OF space, which space they held up
to few days ago, and then dropped it with
out good ard sufficient reasons. The Chi
cago Tri5lme concludes. from the indica-
tions," that some of the strongest corpora
tions and heaviest importers Of New Y rk,
backed by two or three newspapers, are re-
sponsible for the whole trouble.
There has been more or less growing be-
tween New York and Chicago ever
since congress gave the fair TO the western
metropolis, but the disposition to fight hos
heretofore been carefully curbed. Now,
however Chicago is In a fighting humor
about this alleged conspiracy. and has re-
fused to favor New York by changing the
date Of the opening of the fair SO that there
wonld be no clash between the fair opening
and the naval parade in New York harbor.
Chicago does not care if there is G clash +;
she would rather like to bump old Father
Kpickerbocker's head against wall until
his teeth chatter TO get even for her injury,
real or fancied, at his hands.
An embarrassing thing, to Chicago about
the fair opening and naval parade dates,
however, is the fact that President Cleve-
land may not be able to attend both events.
Ii he should review the parade in New
York, which he most probably will, he
would find some difficulty in reaching Chi
cago in time to deliver the opening speech
at the fair.
To revert to the alleged conspiracy again !;
any reason for the existence of one is hard
to find, It does not appear that New Y ork
has any idea OF setting up rival exposi-
ton; nor is there anything to indicate that
New Workers do not appreciate the value of
good advertisements, such as clever exhib-
its at the fair would certainly be. On the
other hand, it seems, from the New York
papers, that the impossibility Of crowdiug a
good lad" into the space allowed by the
Chicago people is the root OF the whole
difficulty.

SIR EDWARD W. WATKIN, a railroad Presi-
dent and promoter OF England, says the Boston
Herald, has found that the financial features of
the Eiffel tower-that is, the amount Of income
derived therefrom-justifiest the construction of
q similar editice in London, and has made the
contracts for a steel tower to be erected in one
of the parks in London, this to have hight,
including the base, of over 1900 feet The
tower part proper will be over 100 feet higher
than the Eiffel tower, and the con-
struction will vary in number
Of respects from that notable structure
AS an income earning investment the ,Effel
tewer has proved q wonderful success. Every
stranger who has, during the last two or three
years, visited Paris considered his stay incom-
plete If he has not assembled to the top of that
monument, and the view afforded from that
elevation has certainly justified the trouble and
expense. There is little doubt, in spite of the
more cloudy and foggy atmosphere of London,
that a high tower there will command a large
patronage, and it is not improbable that struct-
ures of a similar kind 10 several Of our great
American cities would pay largely on the cost
OF building them.

The Anti-option Bill.

The prospect that this congress will pass
the anticipation bill is not promising. Rep
resentative Hatch has made extraordinary
efforts to get the House to take it up for
consideration and has failed.
But few more days Of this congress re-
main. Several of the appropriation bills
are yet undisposed Of and they will not be
put aside in order TO consider the anti-op-
tion measure. That is evident from the
action Of the House on Wednesday.
II the anti-option bill is not passed by
this congress it is not at all probable that 1t
will be by the next II it should be Mr..
Cleveland would, it is believed veto it.
His Secretary of Agriculture, Mr.. Morton,
is against it. In recent interview, Mr..
Morton said he believed the bill to be in the
interest Of the great mill owners of the
west. He is satisfied that 10 would not ben
eft the farmers. On the contrary, he is
quite certain it would be injurious to their
interests.
Congressman have studied the bill care
fully since 1t has been under discussion.
Many of those who voted for it when 1t
was before the House a few months ago
would not vote for it now. They admit
they were mistaken in regard to it. They
were led TO believe the farmers wanted it.
The denagogues told them they did, and
some of the farmers did favor it. Most of
them understand its true character now.
They are satisfied that the purpose of it is
to give the millers of the west the power to
control the price Of wheat.
The bin is virtually dead. The conven-
tion of cotton. growers at Memphis, that
adjourned Wednesday, were so informed,
and they took no action In regard to it.
Senators White, and Villas, and Hoar and
few other congressman are entitled to the
credit of defeating il.

Personal animosity, it is said, and not
purity and strength of political convictions
is the cause Of the exasperating deadlock in
the Montana legislature on the election Of a
senator. Marcus Daily and w. A. Clark,
the two great mlllionsires of the state, are
the powers handling the puppets. Years
ago the two men fell out over a lawsuit
about lot Of land, and the disagreement
grew into feud. And ever since that time
anything that Clark wants Daily sees that
he doesn't have, If he can prevent it. Clark
now wishes to be a senator, so DAILY is fight
ing his candidacy with all his might and
money. The people, meanwhile are bear
ing the expense of endless ballots aud a
necessarily prolonged session.

One OF the most interesting races for an
sppointive office in South Carolina under
the new administration will be- that for
United States district attorney. 1t is un-
derstood that there will be four candidates
for the place, each Of whom is a good man
who will have strong backing. The candi-
dates will be George W. Durgan, ex-con-
gresham from the Sixth district Theodore
d. Jervey, the single Cleveland and anti
free silver delegate TO the Chicago conven-
tion from his state; George D. Bryan, ex-
mayor Of the city of Charleston: and W.
st. Julien Jervey, for a number Of years
states attorney for the First judicial cir
cult. AS far as the ability OF the men is
concerned Mr.. Cleveland might write their
names on four slips Of paper, drop them
into hat and trust to a blfnd-folded boy TO
draw out the name Of the next district at
torney. AS regards their democracy, there
is no difference; each is a democrat of the
stanchesb stripe, 50 he would have some
difficulty to select by that standard. But
if he were to add party service to the
requisites, Theodore Jervey would probably
be the man chosen. So great is the admira-
tion for HIM felt by the "Tillman democ-
racy" of South Carolina that, notwith-
standing his previous and positive declara-
tion that he would vote for Cleveland and
against a free silver plank in the demo-
cratic platform. the state convention elected
him delegate to Chicago, whers he voted
precisely as he said he would And there
was not another Cleveland democrat in the
state at that time who could have been
elected a delegate TO Chicago.

A more astonishing claim was never made
than that of an administration organ that "the
sentiment of the country is practically unani-

opinion is very largely against any annexation

In ten days from now the democracy will DE in

fore, try what the democrats are made Of
whether they have the courage of their convic-

course of benefcent legislation they might as
well quit, for there will be nothing to impede
or thwart their legislative intent
