Now, here is a matter that certainly de.
mands the attention of the national ex.
ecutive committee of the populist party
Billy Thompson, the racing man, famil-
iarly known as the Duke of Gloucester -
filed Incorporation papers a few days age
at Camden, n. j., for railroad company,
the line TO run from Mauahawkin to Long
Branch. Associated with the "duken
and other capitalists is William A. PETER.
the long-bearded populist statesman from
the state of Kansas. Inasmuch as it is a
well-knSwn tenet of the populist faith
that man cannot be connected with a
corporation and remain honest, especially
if the corporation runs a railroad, it be-
comes incumbent upon the populist ex-
ecutive committee to see that Senator
PETER at once sends inhis resignation. BY
the way, it is remarkable what mellow
ing influence public Offices and railroads
have upon populistic statesmen. During
the worlds fair Gov. Lewelling, of Kansas,
went on a junket to Chicago in private
car, furnished free by the railroad, and
now we have it that PETER is actually
about to become railroad nagnate, as
ISOLATED with race track owners and book
makers.

Mr. Stead. the English editor who has
been telling Chicago some unpleasant
things Of late, put on suit of old clothes
the other day and went TO work at
scraping the streets with a gang of street
scrapers. If it had been longer since a
number Of Chicago's first men in society
were hunting Mr.. Stead to thrash him
for talkingly improperly before a meeting
OF women's clubs, he might have got
credit for wanting to learn the condition
Of the street cleaners. AS it is, however,
some people win be bound to hold the
opinion that the editor was masquerading
for another purpose.

In the Courts to stay.

Gov. Tillman has signed the bill repeal
ing the charter of the Augusta and Port
Royal railroad. The South Carolina
legislature is directed by him. 1t does
what he tells it TO do and there are good
reasons for saying that he ordered it to
pass the bill repeating the charter of the
Augusta and Port Royal road.
But what is he going to gain by this
legislative act2 Does he think the
federal courts will permit the owners of
the road to be robbed of their property
If he does he will find he is mistaken.
The road is now in the control of the
federal courts, and it is quite certain it
will stay there for a good long time
The scheme to get possession
Of the road for the purpose of
booming Port Royal and the
interests of the land company that owns
the greater part of Port Royal real estate,
is bold and audacious one, but to make it
successful will not be so easy matter as
the schemers hope. In the meantime the
impression will get abroad that it is not
safe to invest In railroads in South Caro-
lima and capitalists will give the state a
wide berth.
There was no good reason for repeating
the charter of the Augusta and Port
Royal road. The road had violated no
law and had not refused to comply with
any of its obligations to the state. The
repeating of its charter, therefore, was a
great wrong, and the act will do South
Carolina an immense amount Of harm.
Gov. Tillman's administration will be re-
membered for the injury it did the state
1t will be impossible to discover much
good that it did

Looking Towards REORGANIZATION,

Although Justice jackson yesterday
signed the decree ordering the sale Of the
Central railroad, the various orders he
made justify the conclusion that he does
not expect the property to be sold. In
deed, he said when he was in Savannah
last summer that every opportunity to re-
organize the property would be given.
The order relative to another steamship,
the rebuilding of the Tybee road and the
| fact that the road is not to be sold if the
interest on the tripartite bonds is paid,
point towards reorganization rather than
a sale.
! Everything, of course, depends upon the
earnings of the property. They have i'm
proved greatly within the last few
months, and while they do not show that
| there is boom in the Central's business,
they do furnish ground for hope that
business will steadily improve, and win
inspire confidence in the property's earn
ing power sufficient to enable its friends
to reorganize it.
The effort is now to make a good sh ow-
ing of net earnings without permitting
the physical condition of the property to
deteriorate. The success of this effort de-
ponds largely, of course, upon the condi.
ton of business. The times appear to be
getting better, and it is the general opin-
ion that before this year has advanced
very far they will show a very decided
Improvement. In that event the Cent
may be recognized and something saved
for the junior security holders. There is
| no douht that every t,ossible affort will
be made to prevent any Wall street crowd
from grabbing the property for fraction
of its real value.

A mob at Rhinebeck, N. Y, seized a
local Lothario the other night and took
him to the horse-trough at the town pump
for the purpose of drowning him. There
was not water enough in the trough for
the purpose, and as it would require some
labor to supply the water, they concluded
to hang him. While some of the mob
were hunting a rope several officers came
up and the mob fed, leaving their pro
posed victim. The lynchee, who so mar
rowly escaped death in horse trough,

Gov. Lowrey's Ignorance Of the Gam


When Gov. Lowrey, of Mississippi, was in
this city some time ago, says the Washington
Post, he verv cleverly took in a few friends
with whom he sat one evening in a friendly
game OF draw The governor and a party Of
ladies and gentlemen were being entertained
at an evening tea, and after the menu had
been discussed the gentlemen withdrew to
tire library, where cards and chips were soon
produced and in use.
Gov. Lowrey said he knew nothing about
the game. so while his friends tried their luck
the southern executive remained in the Iar-
lor and entertained the ladies. Later in the
evening the governor drifted into the poker
room and was prevailed upon to play the hand
OF one Of the gentlemen for few minutes
As the governor sat down he reminded his
friends again that he knew nothing about the
game.
There was jack pot on the table which had
gone around several times. Hands were
dealt, the pot was opened, and the play passed
around TO the governor. He didn't seem to
know whether TO pass or not. He studied his
hand for several minutes, then, showing
card, asked the man next to him whether 1t
was King or jack. ~ hats king govern
or, replied the gentleman. Then the gov
ernor produced a queen and remarked. II
take IL tnat TINS is queen; am l corfectF'
he was informed that he was, and then very
deliberately putting up his money, he took
one card
The gentleman who had opened the. Dot had
three mines and failed TO better his hand on
the draw. He thought he had a lead-pipe
cinch on the pot, and sized up the governor as
having two palr-kiugs and queens He
thought the governor had found cards like
the king and queen he had shown and was
drawing for full He was somewhat taken
back when the governor raised the bet and
fearing the governor did not know that two
pair were not very good, he called his atten-
tion TO the fact oh go ahead" said the
governor, 1--WE II play this out, any way"
The governor kept raising until finally the
gentleman with three mines weakened and
called. Then the governor proudly laid down
four aces, and everybody yelled. He had held
three aces all the time. flashed his king and
queen for bluff, then drew one card and
caught another ace.
The gentleman who held three mines SAYS
he will never again sit in game with a man
who knows nothing about it.

Free Wool and Prices of wool.

Representative Grain, of Texas, who
represents wool growing district, does
not believe the protective duty on wool
has much, if anything, to do with the
price of wool. In making this statement
he referred to his observation and expe-
rience in his own district. For instance,
he says that in 1884 the prices Of sheep
and of wool in his district were very low,
and in 1886 they were very high, although
the tariff in both years was the same lie
says that wool can now be bought in
Texas at cents pound, less than the
tariff tax. These statements would seem
to indicate that the prices of wool are not
affected to any great extent by the tariff,
and that there is another, and wholly
different reason for their rise and fall
In Mr.. Grains opinion shoddy manu-
facturers have caused the decadence of
the wooden industry, He may be right.
When the wooden schedule of the Wilson
bill comes up for consideration in the
House he will have something to say,
probably, about it. In his district there
is division of sentiment as to whether
protection for wool producers is desirable.
The views of Mr.. Grain are those held by
one faction. They appear to be very sensi-
BILE views, and Mr.. Grain will doubtless
support them so effectively in the House
that he will make converts to them.

into politics. He was then a democrat
1S50-51, that was-and the Democratic
party sent him to the Pennsylvania gen
eral assembly and later to congress,
where he remained for six terms. Dur
ing his congressional career he took a
prominent part in the fight on the Mis-
souri, compromise, the passage of the
homestead and Pacific railroad bills; was
elected speaker of the House in 1861; had
a fight with Representative Lawrence nj.

years old.

policy Of delay in the House They know
very well that they cannot prevent

that body, but they are going to

try. But, with the hope Of making po-
