Reduced Salaries Very Probable.

AT the time of the strike Of the engineers on
the elevated road in New York, says writer
In Harper's, I had a part in bringing the repre-
sentatives of the engineers and the late CYRUS
w Field, a director in the elevated company,
to meeting that resulted in a quick under,
standing between the conflicting interests and
an ending of the strike. Mr.. Field was SO
pleased with the fairness of the committee
representing the engineers with whom he had
to deal that he invited them at once to dine
with him at DelmOnico's an invitation which
their representatives declined for them, fear
ing that its acceptance might be misunder-
stood Mr.. Field, however, continued to feel
that he wished to extend some social courtesy
TO the employees of the elevated road, and at a
later date, when he was all-powerful in that
corporation, he issued a formal invitation to
employees to reception at his house To a
large number the initials ''R. S. V. p on the
lower corner Of the invitation were d great
mystery, and, as the story goes the invited
compared notes and sought an explanation of
them. At last one bright young man an
nounced that he had discovered what they
meant. and he explained to the others that

The Alabama Test of Democracy.

The efforts in Alabama to harmonic
the Kolbites and the regular democracy
have thus far failed. The Kolbites sub
mittcd to the state executive committee
of the Democratic and conservative party
of the state a proposition which provided
for the holding of primary election next
April, at which every voter should vote
who voted for Kolb or Jones in 1892, or
who would have voted for either the one
or the other of them had circumstances
permitted, or who will be eligible TO vote
in 1894, and will support the candidates
chosen at the primary. The execu-
tive committee did not approve this prop
osition. 1t considered that the voting at
the state election in 1892 was not
true test of democracy 1t held that
only those who voted for Cleveland and
Stevenson should take part in democratic
primaries and mass meetings.
The position taken by the state execu-
tive committee is the RIGHT one. Many of
those who supported Mr.. Kolb in 1892 are
republicans and others of them are popu-
lists. Why should republicans and popu-
lists be permitted to have a voice in
selecting democratic candidates. They
may vote for democratic candidates at the
state election if they want to, but it
would be unjust to democrats to permit
them to have 4 voice in the primaries.
Mr.. Kolb, doubtless, would like them
to have voice in the primaries. because
they supported him in the last gubernato-
rial race, and with their assistance he
would have chance to get the nomina-
ton for governor. The democratic lead
ers, however, think the democrats can
choose their candidates without nv as
sistance from men who are known not 10
be in sympathy with the Democratic
party. If Mr.. Kolb ever succeeds in get
ting the democratic nomination for gov
ernOr he will have to get it from demo-
Gratis. He will not get it from populists
and republicans.

Is not TIE government responsible Tor
the terrible tragedy that occurred m
Washington yesterday Tho account of
% THAT appears in our dispatches this
morning seems 90 Justify the conclusion
that 10 is. The building was known 10
be insecure. 10 had been condemned moro
than once, and yet the government made
it the store house for tons Of records and
the WORKING place Of hundreds of clerks.
The immediate cause of the collapse OF
the building was the digging in the cellar
for foundation for an electric lighting
plant The already lettering walls were
still further weakened by the digging,
and without any cracking Of walls or
straining Of beams giving warning of
danger the whole structure came down
burying hundreds of people in the debris.
Is there not public building inspector
in Washington or a supervisor Of build
ings2 There must be some officer whose
duty il is to see to it that buildings are
not in a dangerous condition. How is it
that he permitted the fallen building to
be tenanted, and burdened with heavier
weight than it could bear2
The disaster was a terrible one. A
glance at the long list of dead and
wounded excites indignation at the care
lessness and indifference that made it
possible. Whoever is responsible for the
accident should be held to strict &C
countability
The loss of life, the suffering of the
wounded and the anguish of relatives and
friends is fearful to contemplate And
the disaster would not have occurred had
ordinary caution been observed. Years
ago, when the building was condemned,
it ought to have been pulled down. The
permittingof it to be occupied by hundreds
of people and filed with heavy records
showed an utter disregard for human
life

Few male murderers who achieve no.
toriety through the atrocity of their
crimes escape the alteration of more or
less morbid-minded women; yet women
are very slow to sympathize with Grim
inals, or even accused persons, of their
own sex. Carlyle Harris, the wife pois-
oner, received innumerable BOUQUETS and
many scented notes of sympathy from
women after his conviction. If reports
be true, he even made proposal of mar
riage, after condemnation, and was ac-
cepted. Nearer home, in Atlanta, during
the recent past, number of women have
sent flowers and other marks Of esteem TO
men in Jail accused OF crime On the
other hand, we have an Illustration OF the
fact that women have little sympathy for
women in the Lizzie Borden case. Dur
ing thirty-two of the thirty-three Years
OF her life Miss Borden was an eninen5lv
respectable young woman She is well
educated is refined in her manner
and conversation, and had, prior to
her Imprisonment, been well-likcd bv

acquaintances, she had at least one fast

she tainted, under the terrible arraign-
ment Of the district attorney, there was

the most important witnesses against her.

startial evidence-little odd links that

Furthermore, not a woman has ever called
at the jail TO help cheer her, not one has
ever sent her flower, or a book, or a
note Of sympathy. The women have evi-

Is it because she is a woman?

The Extra Session.

The determination Of the President to call an
extraordinary session of congress between the
LIST and 18th of September is received with
hearty approval by all sensible men 1t calls
forth no criticism save of a purely partisan
character, which interests no one but its
authors. and which even they offer in a weary
half hearted way as if they had to make be
lieve very hard TO persuade themselves that
they really dlSapprOve of II. Indeed. all that
they can say is that he ought TO have acted
earlier, and that congress will do nothing
when II comes together. II the latter is true
the former cannut be. In point of fact neither
IS true Mr. Cleveland took o sound and
straightforward course in the matter He
hrst satisfied himself as to the requirements
OF the situation. and then he has given the

President Higinbotham, of the worlds
fair directory, astonished and shocked
the Chicagoese the other day by attend
ing the mayors breakfast to the Infanta
Eulalie in evening dress. However, Chi
cago has offered in eXtenuation the expla-
nation that President Higinbotham is
self-made man; that he began life as a
clerk and worked up to be millionaire;
that he was a gallant soldier in the war,
and is still fighting for Cook county. Still
Chicago is fearful that Mr.. McAllister
may point the finger of scorn at her be-
Gauss of Mr.. Higinbotham' social slip-up.
1t is understood in New York that in
case any action is taken against Union
Theological Seminary in consequence OF
the verdict of the Presbyterian general
assembly in the Briggs case an appeal
will be made to the courts. In that
event, the New York correspondents of the
Philadelphia Press says there is no
doubt that three-fOurths of the acting

MoKinlev,s Prospeots for Re.election

McKinley's Prospects for Reelection.
Gov. Mckinley, of Ohio, who was re-
nominated Thursday, has not a very good
prospect for securing a reelection Al
though he has an enthusiastic following
many of his own party are not pleased
with his administration of the Office of
governor. He was a better congressman
than he is a governor. He appears to
lack administrative ability. The scan
dals that mar his administration of the
gubernatorial Office will be used against
him in the campaign, and while the effect
of them may not be to influence repub-
licans to vote against him it will make a
good many of them Indifferent as to
whether he is elected or not. They will
stay away from the polls thus increasing
the democra tic candidates chances for
success.
1t may be that Gov Mckinley is not
directly responsible for the scandals, but
the officials who have brought his admins
tration into disrepute are his appointees,
and he cannot avoid responsibility for
their wrong-doing 1t is said that he per-
mitted Senator Sherman to dictate some
of the most important of the appoint
ments. The senator was a candidate for
reelection and needed all the assistance
he could get. The governor aided him,
it is asserted, by putting the senator's
henchmen into places for which they were
not fit.

conducted on lines relating to the COVER
nor's administration rather than upon ma

The robbers who event through" the
bank at Bentonville, Ark, few days ago
were evidently "gold bugs" According
to the Baltimore Sun, Gin emptying the
contents OF the safes into the sacks which
they had thoughtfully brought with them
for the purpose, they carefully separated
the gold and greenbacks from the silver,
placing the latter, amounting to $l0,0 900,
in sack by itself. They manifested so
little concern about the silver that they
gave it to one of the bank officers to carry
for them to the place where they had left
their horses, and guarded him 50 care

The Charleston News and Courier, com
menting on the race for the Georgia SEN
atorship and some of the stories in circu-
lation with regard thereto, says "They
now have it that Hoke Smith is using his
position as a lever to put himself in tho
Senate as Senator Colquitt's successor
1t is said that Gov. Northen, who is sure
that Colquitt's shoes are exactly his size
is indignant at Hoke's schemes Senator
Gordon is credited with putting the bee
in HOke's bonnet. We do not know any
thing about Hokc's wishes and aspirations
it has been stated that he would prob
ably be given the second place on the ma
tional democratic ticket in 1S96-but it is
only fair to say that Georgia and the Sen
ate would not lose anything by his cleo
ton as the successor of Senator Colquitt.
There are a great many worse men in
Georgia than Hoke Smith-there are not
many who are his equal in point of ahil-
ity. or who arei in closer touch with the
Democratic party" Evidently our
Charleston contemporary can be de
pended upon to support Mr.. Smith for
most anything he wants.
