The Redwino Case.

Naturally there is a great deal OF specula-
ton AS t. why Attorney General Olney
called n halt in the Rsdwiue case. The
grand jury was ready TO find indictments,
30 it is said, ut was prevented from doing
so by Instructions FROM Washington.
The explanation offered by the Attorney
General for his acsion IS not satisfactory,
In fact, IL is not an explanation, because it
reveals nothing. There is simlly an in
timatiou that information reached the de-
parttnent Of Justice that made postpone
ment OF the investigation necessary.
The intmaion is thrown out in the dis
patches from Washington and Atlanta that
officials Of the Gate City Sank are more
heavily indebted to the bank thon the law
allows, and that the government attorneys
brought this matter 60 the attention of the
grand Jury In connection with the Red wine
omteazlemeat WITH the view Of having in
dtctments fpind against them. and that the
Redwne investigation was postponed az
their solicitation until they could settle
with the bank.
Whether or not this is the true explana
ton remains to be seen. 1t is evident that
tie public has not yet got hold OF all the
inside facts BEARING upon the Reiwiao en-
b'Zzlement and the closing of the Gate CITY
Bank, but it would be unjust, from any,
thing yet published, to conclude that the
Investigation was postponed to shield men
who have not yet been charge with wrong
doing of any kind. The impression is
strong, however, that there is an undevel-
oped sensation in connection with the Gate
City Bank affair. II there is, it will not be
possible to keep it from the public very
long.

George Gould and the other heirs Of the
late Jay Gould have applied to the surro-
gate of New York for the appointment of an
appraiser to fix the value Of the
estate of Jay Gould, as preliminary to
the payment Of the state in
heritance tax of per cent. upon the value
of the property inherited. For paying the
tax within six months of the death of the
testator the state allows the heirs rebate
of per cent. which the Goulds have de-
cided TO save. The state will receive from
the tax in this instance something like $780,
600, the controller of the city will ge. about
$1,000 for collecting it and the Gould heirs
will save about $4,000 by paying within
the time specified.

A Baltimore genius by the name of Lin
ney has made suggestion TO Private Sec
rotary Thurher which should win him the
everlasting gratitude OF both Mr.. Cleveland
and Mr.. Thurber, il 1t does not win him a
first class appointment. With q view 20
relieving the President from the discomfort
of listening to the appeals of every office
seeker or indorser of an ofice-seeker
who calls upon him, Mr.. Linney suR-
gests that monograph stall be erected in
the corridor adjoining the Presidents office,
where visitors may talk as long as the cylin-
ders bold out. For instance, half dozen
congressman or ofice-seekers might call
upon the President and find him engaged.
In such a case Mr.. Thurber, addressing
each, would say: Just sep in here, sir .
and talk your story into this funnel, and
the President will hear it just as soon as he
is disengaeed." In that manner the num-
Der of individual stories that would reach
the Presidents ears would be increased at
least 80 per cent, and, unannoyed by the
presence Of a crowd, each story might re-
ceive more careful consideration. Mr. Lin
ney's plan has been taken under considera-

Critical Position OF the Bell Companys
The statement In Washington dispatch
printed in yesterdays MORNING NEWS,
that a decision Of the United States supreme
court invalidating two OF Edison's patents
would have the effect of 'lsaving the Bell
Telephone Company, after january next,
to stand wholly on the Berliner PATENT
means more 20 the general public than is at
first apparent. With the Berliner patent
as its only leg left to stand on, the telephone
monopoly is in rather critical condition.
For suit is now pending in
which the United States government is
the plaintiff, to annul the Berliner patent,
which, it is alleged, was manipulated in
fraudulent manner. 1t is charged that the
original declaration OF Berliner in his appli-
cation for a patent on telephone instru-
ments only make and break" circuit OPP
para.us was mentioned, and that the
original specifications described only that
kind Of apparatus. However, after the
ownership Of the invention was transferred
to the Bell company the declaration and
specifications were Withdrawn from the
patent Office, the original descriptions
erased and specifications and description Of
a closed circuit instrument inserted In
their place and the documents then relied,
the date Of the original refiling
being retained by the patent Office
officials, although the apparatus described in
the amended specification was wholly
different from the apparatus Berliuer
offered for protection. The government in
this suit also charges that the Bell people,
by dilatory tactics and an amount Of sharp
practice. managed to delay the issuing OF
the Berliner patent for a number of years.
maybe ten or twelve, in the expectation
that their monopoly would be protected for
that length OF time by the Berliner patent
when their other patents had expired.
Should this case be decided against the
Bell company, the great monopoly would at
once be without the protection of patent
rights.

The new year Of the turpentine trade be-
gins to-day, with a very fair outlook. The year
which ended yesterday was not successful
one, although receipts at this market-the
leading turpentiue market Of the world
were the heaviest on record. During the
year just beginning the operators hope to
make the supply more nearly coincide with
the demand, thereby raising prices to a
profitable basis One Of the means they
will employ to this end will be the erection
Of storage tanks for spirits in this city,
which will enable Savannah instead of
London to control the market.

Reforming Il Parrot.

Pittsburg Chronicle.-A pittsburger
who spent part of last summer in Eng
land tells an incident which sadly dis
turbed the religious peace of parish
in Penzance.
A maiden lady of that town owned q
parrot, which somehow acquired tho
disagreeable habit of observing, at fro
quent intervals:
II wish the old lady would die"
This annoyed the birds owner, who
spoke to her curate about 1t.
II think we can rectify the NATTER"
replied the good man. Il also have O
parrot, and he Is righteous bird, hav-
ing been brought up in the way he
should go. / will lend you my parrot
and I trust his influence will reform that
depraved bird Of yours"
The curate's parrot was placed in the
same room with the wicked one, and as
soon as the two had become accustomed
to each other the bad bird remarked:
II wish the old lady would die
Whereupon the clergy1nan's bird rolled
up his eyes and in solemn accents ad-
ded:
1--WE beseech Thee to hear us, good
Lordr'
The story got out in the parish and
for several Sundays it was necessary
to omit the litany at the church services.

SLAVE RAIDERS ROMANCE.

Pail Mall Budget: Alone, In a dark cor
ner of his tent, toying with the beads
of his rosary, sat Osmani ibn Seyt. His
swarthy Arab face was lined and care
worn, and his eyes were downcaSt IN
thoughtful mood.
For six weeks this famous slave raid
er had led his caravan of Manyema
marauders and captives through the dis
NAL depths Of the great African forest
In search of human prey. Day by day
they had trudged through thorny under
growth, beneath the impenetrable can
opy Of primeval trees; and each hight
they had slept, hungry, upon the sodden
ground, in the yitiated atmosphere of
decaying vegetation.
The region they had taversed was
uninhabited.
That afternoon a Manyema follower
had been wounded by a wooden spear,
adroitly concealed in the bushes, by the
side of a wellworn elephant track.
Here at least was an evidence OF man.
The caravan had halted, formed an
effective zereba, and Osmani had dis
patched scouts to survey the vicinity.
''Hodi!' cried voice from without.
Osmani started from his reverie, and
instincdvely reached towards the loaded
rifle by his side.

In a few words the negro explained
that the scouts had discovered traces Of
a large native village, situated about
Two hours march to the eastward Of

A New Orange.
Pinellas, Fla,

Great is art, when it comes in to sup
plement aud assist the processes OF ma
ture! A scientific hOrticulturist OF Duarte
has succeeded, by d system OF hybridlza-
ton aud cross fertilization, in producing
a new variety Of orange. 1t is cross
between the Washington Navel, the Nal
Ia Blood, the paper-rind st. Mich ael and
the Mediterranean Sweet. Tie method
by which he accomplished this feat is his
own secret, OF course, but the result is
the property Of the orange growers OF
Southern California when thetrees OF the
new variety are disseminated and furnish
facilities for further propagation by bud
ding. We were shown the other day an
orange OF the new variety. The sample
examined was OF medium size, Indicating
q considerable modification OF the large
Washington Navel, which is q desirable
change. The skin was Of close fine tex
ture and soft us d kid glove; navel mark
clearly but not prominently shown. The
fruit was firm ami heavier than the aver
age. On opening, the rind proved rather
thick, but the pulp was OF fine and deli
cate texture and juice abundant. ltproved
to be sweeter than The average Washing
ton Navel, but possessed of it's character
istic win"Y flavor. There were none of the
interior markings Of the Malta Blood.
The fruit was entirely seedless. If it be
possible to produce a finer fruit than the
Washington Navel, we should say that

would suggest that one page OF the
AGRICULTURIsr be set aside as the "Edu-
cational Page" On this page keep
standing such information asl see on ed
itorial page of 9Th inst. which winds up
thus: Freight charges on a shipment OF
oranges to New York from DeLand 5.O4,
from New York to Liverpool s. 60; the
distance from Florida to New York one
thousand miles, from New York TO Liv-
ernool three thousand miles. The time
from DeLand to Liverpool was about
half of that sometimes required to reach
our own cities.
We suppose this was all steamship
service. And so [ find that my quick
est way to get oranges to New York
is by the ships. This is passing strange
to me that the railroads are built to

hasten the trip and yet the ships at q
snail gallop "get there" first.
Ofcourse we are told all sorts Histories
about "water transportation" COMPETE
ton and OF the classification Of freights,
but here we see some little inconsistencies
and contradictions.
We see that Florida is ia t simply
imposed upon to the tune OF about 60 per
cent. Will some ship owner pull some
wool over our eyes on this subject?
The Dispatch and Fruit Grower publish
ed from the pen OF Z. l.. M. little while
ago that pineapple rate from Eden, Flo
rida to New York was 81 go, from Key
West 80 cents, from Jamaica 80 cents,
from Central America 40cents per barrel !;
so we must figure that the farther a ship
carries thing the che per the rate, Sd
that from Rio Janeiro to New York would
be I presume about 10 cents. 1t is So
too with the railroads; it costs the same
to oct oranges toNew York as to Atlanta,
the one rail the other part water and the
ship from Savannah or Jacksonville to
New York will beat the rail to Atlanta
in nine cases out of ten. There is no
consistency or sense in it's imposition!
And still we see our Editors and our leg
islatures are dallying away their time
with matters of no comparative impor
lance. It's question of money, Of pay,
Of ability to ''bear." Give me money
and can make money, give me money
and | can pay ,arih'. the State and all
other taxes. Its first question Of
money.
We never kicked at a freight rate
until we got more oranges than we could
sell at price to pay ourselves and
the transportation companies. We have
been promised lower rates as the crop
increased, we have now increased until
the markets are "ove1stocked" all win
ter and the transportation companies
getting the larger half Of what cur fruit
sells for but the rate is no lower and the
service little better. Oar only hope is
in legislation. Tie enforcement of the
inter State comm rec will give us relief.
Our railroad commission will have to
see to the enforcement of that. We, the
people are nobody, nowhere. Flood the
legislature with petitions for reform
legislation. WIN. 2. NEE!d,
