If Drcx,'. Morgan g. Go. succeed iu rec
Organizing the Richmond Terminal rail-
way system, ana there Is every reason
now for thinking they will their success
will add greatly 20 their reputation as IL
uaucicrs and railroad rcorrauizers. At
any time the reorganization Of the
Richmond Terminal system, consisting as
IL does Of a vast net work Of railroads COW
oring a large part Of the south, would be
regarded as a difficult undertaking, but
il is vastly more difficult at a time Of
great financial distress like the present
One great advantage Drexel, Morgan 81
Co. possess is the confidence felt in
their integrity and their ability to accom-
plsh whatever they attempt
IL is true that the reorganization Of the
Richmond Terminal has not yet been ac-
accomplished but the proposition that
Mr. Samuel Spencer, one of the junior
partners Of DrexcL Morgan & Co, shall be
appointed a co-recciver not only of the
Richmond Terminal but also of the roads
I'm the system is regarded as a satisfac-
tory indication that reorganization is GER
tain TO be effected. Mr.. Spencer is a
Georgian, and, although quite young
man. has won both fame and fortune. As
a railroad man, - stands in the front
rank
There does not appear to be any oppo
sJion to his appointment as co-receiver
by the parties in interest. And it would
not amount to much in all probability if
there were, because it is well understood
that Drexcl, Morgan and Co, are at Hber-
ty to do what they believe to be for the
best interests Of the great property that
has been committed to their care. If they
should abandon the reorganization of it,
the system in all probability would 90 to
pieces, and many Of the securities of the
system would have little or no value.
A question of interest in Georgia is,
will Drexel Morgan and Co, undertake
the reorganization Of the Georgia Central?
The Richmond Terminal owns the MAORI
ty of the Central's stock, and it is
reasonable to suppose that it does not in
tend that it shall be sacrificed by per-
hitting the Central to be sold

No Danger of a Panic.

Treasury officials who ought to be pref
ty well informed in respect to the finan-
cial condition of the country say there is
no danger of a general and disastrous
panic The failures that have occurred,
they declare, were the result of unwise
and reckless business transactions or Of
the dishonesty Of trusted officials of fl
nancial institutions.
Even if there had been no stringency in
the money market the most of these fail
ures would have occurred sooner or later
There was a vast amount of speculation
uring the boom period and not a few
business men and financial institu-
tions acted as if they thought
the boom was going to last for years. For
instance, in nearly all parts of the coun-
try speculation in unimproved town and
suburban property assumed enormous
proportions. This kind of property was
sold at prices much beyond its real value
Consequently, when the "bottom dropped
out" of the boom those who had bought
unimproyed town property at boom prices
on credit, and those who had loaned
money on it at fictitious valuation, were
unable to Withstand the financial strain
to which they were subjected.
1t is worthy OF notice that most of the
failures have been in the west where
speculation in unimproved town property
assumed tremendous proportions. The
liquidation is not yet finished but it
win go on so gradually that it win not
have very general disturbing effect on
business interests. The hopeful feeling
OF the treasure officials will be com
municated to the people throughout the
country and can hardly fail to have a
beneficial effect

They spoke Of schools of charity,
Ana science found its proper part;

Were joined with literature and art;
No theme too great and none too small
They simply finished one and all

Last fall Gen. Weaver predicted, among
other things, that Georgia and Alabama

now busy predicting that the Democratic

no reason to believe that Weaver's power

John sherman's Patriotism.

From the Brooklyn Eagle DemO.
John sherman frankly says in effect that he
preferred the ruin of his country to the EN-
harrassment of a republican President with
the duty and opportunity of vetoing a free
coinage bill. That is just about the size of
John sherman patriotism. Probability is
that Harrison would have signed the free
coinage bill if he believed there were votes in

Instead of being the richest family in
Italy, the Boryhese, whom the Roman
correspondents appear detcrninel TO Join

oldest in the world, and has furnished to
the church two popes and a saint; still it
has been bankrupt for forty years or
more. Prince Paola, the present head of
the house and the father of the Young

wouldn't let him sell the art treasures to
be taken out Of the country. The matter
was taken into the courts, and is there
yet. II is probable that the aristocratic
Borghese see in the marriage of one of
their sons 10 rich American girl the
way out Of financial straits. And Ameri-
can girls have before now been known to
exchange wealth for blood and title. 1t
is insisted at Rome that the announce

Rio Grande do Sui, the Brazilian state
that is again kicking against the authori-
ty Of the federal government, is the south
ernmost state in the confederation. In
size it is almost as large as both Georgia
and Florida, though it has only 564 527
inhabitants. or a little more than one
third of Georgia's population. It is fer
tile country but the natives are always
so busy fighting among themselves or with
somebody else that not great deal of at
tention is paid to agriculture Its re
sources in minerals and timber are also
great, but have never been developed for
the same reason. Cattle raising is the
principal industry of the state. The citi-
zenship IS mostly made up of politicians
ana ignorant poems who become soldiers
TO fight for the politicians advancement.
The recurring troubles in Rio Grande do
Sui are sufficient to cause doubts as to the
preparation Of the B-azilians for popular
government.

The Rev. DIR. Hamlin, of Washington,
asserts that there will be no split in the
Presbyterian church in consequence of
Briggsism and the verdict of the recent
presbytery. What Dr. Hamlin means. of
course, is that no separate church will be
formed. But, as a matter of fact, it ap-
pears that split, or something almost as
bad, exists within the church That is
why several ministers have recently re-
signed, why Prof. Smith resigned from
Lane Seminary and why Union is under
the ban of the presbytery.

a Hard Fight For TilIman.

Gov Tillman is quoted as saying that
he intends to enforce the dlspcnsary act
in letter and spirit, and that he will fight
its enemies in court and out Of court with
all the means and power at his command.
IT is already evident that he has big
fight on his hands The law is being at
tackled in the courts, and, if reports are
to be credited a great deal more wine,
whisky and beer is being sold outside of
the dispensaries than in them. State
ments are made that it is not difficult to
get Intoxicating liquors in Charleston and
other parts of the state.
To prevent the sale Of iutoxicants sur
reptitiously a small army of spies viii be
necessary, and it win be difficult to get
men TO act as spies who will do their
duty efficiently and conscientiously. II
spies are maintained in every county
they will cost the state a very large sum
"A sum so large in fact, that it will abb
sorb much of the revenue arising from
the dispensaries.
If the people were a unit in support of
the dispensary act there would be no
need for spies, because they would see 20
it that intoXicants were NOT sold Surrapu-
tiously, but there is no very strong SEN
timent against the act, and violations of
it will be winked at and encouraged
Gov. Tillman has plenty of grit and is
full Of resources, but of all the hard
things he has undertaken he will find the
enforcing of the dispensar-y act about the
hardest.
1t is not in the least surprising that the
Florida Agricultural College should con
fer a degree upon Secretary Hol1e Smith
1t is true that he may be unable to distin-
guish between Il dominique hen and an
egg plant, but he has certainly proved
that he knows considerable about raising
republican scalps.
The official plum over which Malietoa
and Mataafa are fighting, the throne of
Samoa, carries with it salary of S25 a
week and perquisites. The chief "perk''
consists of the privilege to the reigning
kings wife of taking in washing from the
men-of-war at Apia.
Gov Tillman is free silver man, yet a
silver dollar will not buy as much
in his state as it buys in
| Georgia. There a dollar buys only six
and two-thirds bottles of beer; here it is
good for twenty tall glasses.

Germany,s Zinc Product.

Germany produces more zinc than any
other country in the world; the exporta-
ton of zinc is accordingly very heavy,
amounting to $4,000 tons, against an i'm
portation OF not quite 5000 tons, says
KuhtoaOS. The main zinc-production
district is in Upper Silesia, where the
metal is made from calamine, and also
more and more from zinc tlende, by dis
tillation. The smelling of zinc blende
has led here, as in other places, to the
establishment of very perfect arrange
ments for utilizing and preventing the
deleterOus effects of the sulphurous acids
generated In the roasting of the ore. In
Germany in 1890, 139, 900 tons of ore were
smelted, in which work 9,27l men were
employed. The value of the output was
62,000,000 marks $4,000, 900 approx, of
which 64 per cent. was produced in Up
per Silesia, 20 per cent. in the Armsburg
District, and the remainder in the Gov
ernment Districts Of Dusseldorf and Aa-
chen (Aix-la-Chapelle) and the Kingdom
of Saxony. The ore in the western parts
of the country is in the main zinc blende.
The smelling of zinc is made very diff
cult. in most localities. by the presence of
other metals in the ore. However, by a
careful preparation of the ores and puri-
6cation of the zinc obtained, this diff
Guilty has been overcome. By the use of
regenerative gas heating furnaces and
well-adapted condensers the cost of pro-
duction has been reduced and loss OF
metal prevented. With the smelling of
zinc small production of cadmium is
connected,

BICYCLES AND SIDEWALKS.

We have nothing against the bicycle or
bicyclers. The new vehicle has come to
stay. 1t is a useful invention and to
many people blessing and to all who
use it convenience, if not to all pleas
ure. But in the use of the bicycle we
have concern in the nature of protest to
giving it place in the cities and towns
upon the walks reserved to the uses of
pedestrians.
The bicycler is not pedestrian. He
will not permit himself to be so ciassi-
fed; his machine is vehicle. There
fore his place when on the machine is
in the roadway provided for vehicles.
Accidents will occur if the sidewalks are
used by bicyclers, no matter how careful
they may be-accidents due solely and
wholly to the bicycle on the sidewalk.
1t is suggested that we give the bicy-
dition that they use loud-sounding bells
and gongs to warn pedestrians. But
why should pedestrians be warned, be
obliged to get out of the way? Why
limit their right to walk on the side
walks, as such a regulation would limit
them? Suppose the bicycler rings his
bell, to which side are we to turn, and
why should we turn? If he is behind us,
who is to assure US that he will not run
rs down after alp
A recent accident in this city revives
this subject and makes timely the sug-
gestion that the ordinance prohibiting
riding of bicycles on the sidewalks
within certain limits be amended so as to
strike out limits and make the prohibi-
ton extend to the whole city. 1t may be
rough on the bicycle riders in the winter
season. But. pray, why should it at any
time be lawful to ride on the walk-way
on one side of the street and unlawful to
ride on the sidewalk on the opposite side
of the same street? Why should one
portion of the people be protected against
the liability of accident and another por-
ton be exposed to such liability? No.
let the law apply alike all around, either
to the whole city or to none of it.

French women's Rights

Although women have few rights" in
France, as the word is generally used
and do not participate in government in
any direct way, they possess in that
country certain privileges which are un-
usual in America. Among the trades
people the wife, instead of being entirely
apart from her husbands business, very
often exercises controlling interest over
it.
Sometimes, among the lower classes,
the French wife finds it necessary to
chastise her husband in order to keep
him rigidly to his duties.
Not long ago party of Americans were
travelling in a steamer on one of the
French rivers. They arrived at lock,
which was closed; nor was there any Wis
ible sign of the lockkeeper.-
Behind bunch of trees near by rose
the chimney of cottage, and presently
from behind the same tuft of foliage came
the sound of series of howis, yells and
groans.
''Where is the lockkeeper ?'' some one
asked of the Captain of the steamer.
''Oh, he'll be here presently" answered
the Captain, calmly. "He can't come just
now; he's busy. His wife is whipping
him !"-Youth's Companion.
