A Cipher Telegram.

Another Of the many good stories told at
the expense Of the cipher telegram" of the
modern business world came up the other DAY,
SAID the New York Tribune
A city broker. whose house is IN New Jer-
sew was Obliged BY Illness to lose a day from
his BUSINESS, so he sent word to his clerk at
the office to let HIM know by telegram some
thing of the day transactions.
The hours wore on, but no telegram ap-
peared. and the broker began to be mystifed.
not to say provoked, at the unaccountable
negligence of his faithful clerk. The tele-
graph ONCE was a mile from his home and
there was nothing to he done but to wait for
the messenger who didn't cone.
Next morning the unhappy suburbanite
stopped on his way 10 the station TO make in
quiries at the telegraph office for his missing
telegram. The operator was an old town Cos
sip with an interest in everybodys affairs,
aud greeted his visitor in a neghborly fash
ion.
Good morning, sir; all we'll, I hope"
Yes; all right, say. didn you get a tel

Cost of lithuanian.

10 is stated that the cost of calling out
the militia in South Carolina is between
$4,000 and $50, 600. When an appropria-
ton is asked from the legislature to meet
the bills for the military, an inquiry as
to whether there was such a condition of
affairs as justified the governor in putting
the state to such an expense may be called
for The statement published by Senator
Butler shows there was not. There was no
riot or instruction or resistance to state
authority. There was trouble at Oar
lingtOn, but the civil authorities had no
doubt at any time of their ability to
check it and compel obedience to the law
An impartial inquiry might lessen the
estimation in which Gov. Tillman is held
by his followers. He has the right,
of course, to call out the troops when
there is necessity for doing so, and he is
to Judge of the necessity, but if ii should
appear that he put the state to heavy ex-
pense, when there was no necessity for
doing so-that he made a serious mistake
that might have led to civil war-his pop
ularity would suffer greatly. Even the
Tillmanites do not like heavy taxes, and
they are not likely to pin their faith very
long to governor who increases their
burdens.
The report that has found it's way into
one of the New York papers, that two of
the three Judges of the supreme court
have declared the dispensary law uncon-
stitutional, has not yet been confirmed.
The question of the constitutionality of
the law was argued before that court
some time ago, and ii it has been decided
against the law one great source of
trouble in South Carolina has been re-
moved.

Senator Hill and the Tariff Bill.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Sun is authority for the state
ment that there is considerable anxiety
among democratic senator's relative 70 the
Forthcoming speech of Senator Hill on the
Wilson bill 1t is understood that the
speech will be delivered next Monday.
The impression is that twill be directed
mainly against the income tax, though
there are those who think the purpose of
+ it viii be to defeat the whole bill.
Senator Hill has given no intimation as
to what his opinion of the bill is, beyond
showing very decided hostility TO the
income feature of it. The statement is
made that in the opinion Of some Of the
senators the fate of the bill depends upon
his attitude towards it.
II is admitted that the republicans are
against the bill, though it seems they
have reached a determination not TO fill
buster against it. If there is any opposi-
ton to il among the democrats they are
ready to join with that opposition and
kill it,
What makes Senator Hills attitude
towards the bill seem to be of so
much importance is this. There are
several democratic senators who
are against the income tax. II
they and Senator Hill, together with
the republican senator's, should defeat
that tax, the bill, if passed in that shape,
could not get through the House. Tho
House, it is asserted. will insist upon the
income tax, even though by doing so il
should bring about the defeat,of the bill.
IT, therefore, Senator Hill can get the
Senate to strike out the income tax
feature of the bill and stand by its action
the chances are deadlock between
the two houses would be brought about
that would result in the failure of the
bill
1t is evident, however, that speculation
on this line is in harmony with what the
enemies Of the bill hope will
occur. II cannot be predicted
with any degree Of certainty what
the House would do in respect to
the bill If the Senate should strike out
the income tax feature of IL. 1t cannot
be said that neither the Senate nor House
would recede. 1t is much more than
likely that one of them would recede
rather than let the bill fail.
There isn't a democrat in congress who
doesn't know that the Democratic
party cannot afford to let the bill
fail 1t has got to pass some
sort of a tariff reform measure. A
failure to do so would make it the mi
nority party, and it would be long time
before it could get the people to trust it
again. 1t has now big majority in the
House and a working majority in the Sen
ate. 1t, therefore, has the power to re
form the tariff, and if it should not do so
during this congress the people would be-
lieve, and would be justified in believing,
that it is not sincere in its declarations in
behalf of tariff reform.

Reeds Leadership Criticised.

Some of the minority of the House are
not altogether pleased with the tactics Of
ex-Speaker Reed, their leader. Their
complaint is that he is sacrificing every
| interest of the minority to make the ma
iority accept the rulings he made when
| speaker, namely, that the speaker has
the right TO count a quorum. II is al
legged that if the republicans had agreed
to vote on the question of unseating JOY,
of Missouri, enough democrats would
have voted with them to have kept JOY ia
and O'Nein out.
In reply to his critics Mr.. Reed says
that the democratic majority is so large
that it is a matter of little consequence
whether a republican is unseated or not.
In his opinion the question of the right of
the speaker to count a quorum involves a
great principle, and he believes that
| sooner or later the democrats will have
to accept the position he took when
speaker. When. therefore, the Joy con-
tested election case was before
the House the republican mem
bers, at his request, refrained from
voting with the hope of breaking the
! quorum, thus bringing before the House
again the question of the right of the
speaker to count those present and not
voting in order to make up a quorum.
The democrats have taken the stand
that the speaker has not the right to
count quorum, and it is not at all
likely that they will accept MIR. Reeds
plan for getting quorum. The republi-
cans who are criticising Mr. Reeds tao
tics are of the opinion that ne was not justi-
fed in permitting republican to be I'M
seated in order that he might show
the democrats the advantages of his
plan for getting a quorum. They thinl
he is much more anxious to obtain a little
glory for himself than to serve his politi-
cal friends.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Reed is anx-
ious to pose as the big man of his party,
and is willing to get the reputation of
being such at the expense of the interests
of other republican members. There is
no doubt, however, that he is the big man
of the republican side of the House, but is
he big enough to get his party to name
him for the white house, That is a
matter which concerns Mr.. Reed greatly
at present

II is difficult TO understand why Gov.
Tillman had military court to investi
gate the killing at Darlington at the same
time the civil authorities were holding
an inquest. The town was not under
martial law at the time of the tragedy.

that the civil government was not compe-

To name new war vessel ''Kear-
sarge" with the expectation that it
would reflect any of the old corvette's
fame would be like naming child George
Washington or Napoleon Bonaparte.
with the expectation that it would re-
feet the fame of either Of those great
men. There is nothing but empty senti-
mentality behind the proposition. The
Kearsarge's name is safe in history, be-
sides being borne by Kiah Sargeant's
everlasting mountain in New Hamp-
shire; that ought to be enough. The sys-
tenn of naming new war ships after states
and cities should be rigidly adhered to.

The Office of recorder of deeds for the
District of Columbia has been held by
colored men for a number of years; so
long indeed, that the district politicians
have ceased to regard it as one of their
perquisites. The incumbent is ex -Sena-
tor Blanche X. Bruce, of Mississippi. Fol
lowing the long established precedent,
President Cleveland has nominated a
colored man, c. II. j. Taylor. of Kansas,
to be his successor. Taylor is acl1nowl-
edged 10 be as able man as the incum-
bent, but it seems that the anti-adminis-
tration element in Washington have de-
terminod that Taylor shall not be con
irmed by the Senate. 1t is understood
that the opposition will be led by the
Missouri senators and Senator Martin, of
Kansas. With Hillism rampant in the
Senate it is probable that the opposition
to Taylor will be successful.

The United States Investor, publica-

name, says the new mutual fire insurance
companies that are springiug up in vari-
Gus parts of the country are little if any
better in their nature than the dangerous
endowment orders that have been collaps-
ing in all quarters for several years.
The new fire concerns are wholly I'M
like the old and the factory mutuals: -
are being too generally promoted by in
surance agents and are taking "risks
that have been rejected by stock COM
panies." Far from gaining much through
reduced costs, on which much stress is
laid, they often pay commissions that
will make the expense account quite as
steep as that of the stock companies" On
the whole, the Investor thinks that mot
since the endowment craze has there
been a movement so full of menace to the
public"

Senator Hill asserts that If the Republi-
cans secure control of the legislature the
senator will retain his seat I'm the senate,

'"lhere is no doubt whatever" said the
gentleman, "that Senator Hill will keep

OF course the Democrats are going to
