The last time went to Europe" said
an editorial friend TO a Chicago Inter
guished company Among nv feilow-pas-
sengers were George Could and family
Nidsner, Elkins and Yerkes, the street
railway millionaires, and l don't knew
hsw many more rich men
On the second day out there was the
uSual drltt OF fellows Of sporting pro
cuvlties toward the smoking room, and
very soon several games were going on.
\ very gentlemanly person, who was
looking on like myself, asked me II ever
played poker. l said yes, now and then,
If the stakes are small After a little fur
Iher conversation we found three other
men, took table, and began TO play
TO make the limit higher, but I was firm,
and we kept it down. We played much all
DAY, ana then again at night, without any
very pig hands or any great variation in
luck. Finally. however, I struck a big
hand, and so did my gentlemanly friend,
who was, indeed, quite the most agree
able man at the table. We backed our
hands for all they were worth, and per-
haps in my case for more, for l lost. The
same thing happened several times, and
the result was that, small as the game
was, got up from the table $50 out of
pocket. The next day we played again,
but there YVES very little life in the game,
and finally we gave IL up.
The matter had almost passed out of
my mind, when the man VINO had won my
money came TO me one day as we were
nearing the other side, and said:
L think I ought to give that money
back to you
d" I don't see why said I. IF had won
your money, l should have taken it
Yes, but this is different
g How different? I don't understand
Well, the fact is, don't mind telling
you, | am professional
" Well, if I had known that 1 don't
think l would have played with you. But
If you won my money fairly, keep it
That's just it, he said. Here is your
money. You are not the sort of game
am after. l rang in a cold deck on you
during a deal l am one of the few who
can do it..
Then he went on to tell me, after had
taken the money, that. he had come
aboard expressly to pluck George Gould
or one of the street railway magnates,
but had given up the job. The fact is
he said, rich men nowadays are not like
they used to be. So soon as a man gets
a big pot of money he does all his gam
bling in stocks or grain. Sometimes we
a fortune by luck, and he is good game,
but that sort of thing is getting scarcer
every day. Don't give me away until !

Result of the ELECTION.

This is not a coed year for the demo-
Gratis. In yesterdays elections they were
pretty badly beaten. There does not seem
to be much doubt that they have lost the
eSRtrsl sf the next Hsuse That is con-
sition Of affairs that is greatly to be re-
GREETED. The republicans will interpret
their victory as an indication that the
people are dissatisfied with the Wilson
tariff. and will begin at once to agitate
the question Of changing it. They will not
permit a fair trial Of it. for fear that the
country weuld prosper under it. Pros
perity under 1t would make a return to
the high protective pslicy Of the Republi-
can party impossible.
The real cause Of the defeat of the dem
ocrats, outside of New York, was the
hard times. To a very great extent the
Democratic party is blamed for the money
panic of 1888 and the distress that fol-
lowed. Being in power. it is held respon-
sible for all the troubles that come upon
the country. AS mater of fact, nothing
the Democratic party did caused the bust
ness and industrial depression. The de-
preston is as great in Europe as it is
in this country, showing that the cause
of the shrinkage of values, and the paraly-
sis of industrial and business interests is
general. 1t is not confined to any one
country.
In New York local causes contributed
largely to give the republicans the victory,
The disclosures before the Lexow commit
tee aroused a feeling of intense hostility
to Tammany, and the people determined to
wrest the control of the city from that or
ganization. This feeling existed through
out the state. 1t was quite generally be-
lieved that Tammany could not be crushed
If Hill was elected, and so the hostility to
Tammany helped to defeat Hill. But the
causes that operated against the demo-
Gratis in other parts of the country were
not without their influence in New York.
Morton's big majority shows that.
The republicans got several congressman
in the south, but not as many as they ex-
son, the chairman of the ways and means
committee, is regrettable. His defeat, if
he is defeated is due chiefly to the vigor-
Gus campaign that was made by the re-
publicans. In Mr. Wilson'S district the
democratic majority at the congressional
election two years ago was very small.
The republicans appear to have found
means to overcome it.
The Democratic party will not be dis
heartened by its defeat. 1t has suffered
many defeats, and has survived them to
win glorious victories. The returns re-
ted the probability that the populists
might hold the balance of power in the
next House.

The Future Position of the central.


The statement made by the New York
Herald few days ago, in giving the de-
tails of the plan for the reorganization of
the Central railroad system, that the Cen
trail had been taken in" by the Southern
Railway Company, has had the effect ap-
parently of misleading the public in re-
spect to the position the Central is to oc-
cupy after its reorganization. The quite
general impression seems to be that the
Central is to be operated by the Southern
Railway Company, and fears have been
expressed by prominent citizens of this
city that the Central would be used to
build up the business of the Southern
Railway, and to accomplish that object
freights would be drawn away from Sa-
vannah to Norfolk.
There does not appear to be any ground
for such an impression or such fears. As
a matter of fact the Southern Railway
Company will have no greater control of
the Central railroad system after reor-
ganization than it now has. 1t has 1900
shares of the capital stock of the Central,
which is majority of the stock,
therefore 1t has the control of the prop
erty. If reorganized on the proposed plan
it will have all the stock, but that owner
ship will give 1t no greater control than it
has at present.
1t has been stated all along that when
reorganized the Central would be operated
as an independent property, and that state
ment is reiterated. 1t is reasonable to sup
pose that it will be the purpose of the
Southern Railway Company to make the
stock of tho Central valuable. That it can
do only by making the Central earn all
that it is possible for 1t to earn, and it's
earnings will be increased by bringing
freights to Savannah, not by taking them
away.
No doubt the greatest possible economy
in the management of the property will be
introduced, and great deal of money can
be saved by operating the Central in har-
mony with the Southern Railway Com
pany. There will be no rate cuttings at
competing points, as there has been here
tofore, and there will be no need of the
great number of soliciting agents which
were employed when there was compcti-
ton with the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia and other roads that were inclu-
ded in the old Richmond Terminal sys-
tenn
There is certainly no grounds at present
for asserting that Savannah will suffer a
loss OF any part of her business after the
Central has been reorganized Indeed,
there are reasons for expecting that her
business will be increased, because there
is promise that the Central will control the
freights of the territory tributary to il
more fully than it does at present.

A Dangerous prnctice.

Why is it that the police arrest none of
the boys, black and white, who indulge
in the dangerous practice of throwing
bricks at each other in the streets? 1t
it is not an uncommon thing for boys in
the squares and streets to pelt each other
with stones and bricks
Tho public would not be so much con-
cerned in the matter If the danger arts,
ing from the practice were confined to the
boys who indulge in it. But that is not
the case. Men, women and children
walking along the streets and through the
squares are liable to be hit
But what are the police doing that they
do not put stop to this dangerous prac-
tice? Do they think it is a matter in
which they have no concern?
Through the columns of the Morning
News the attention of the police has been
called to this practice number of times
1t would seem as if the mayor would take
notice of these complaints of the people
and issue orders TO the police that would
bring about the arrest of the offending
boys. and thus put a stop to their law
lessness. The people pay for protection
and they are entitled to have it, Such
Indifference to their rights by the author

lawlessness and afford reasonable security

comes violent or in carrying TO the bar

black people. There are a good many
things that might be done that would
make the condition of affairs in this city
more satisfactory than it is.

An American rattlesnake recently ar
rived safely at the Pasteur Institute in
Paris. This was the first serpent of the
species that the French experts in poisons
had been able to secure, and it's arrival
was something of an event. DR. Calmette
of the institute, claims to have discovered
that ordinary chloride of lime is a per-
feet antidote to snake venom. His
conclusions, however, have been based
on analyses of the poisons of the
snakes of Europe and Asia only.
He now wishes to try American venom,
hence the Importation of the RATHER. A
copperhead is shortly to be sent him
also, and with these two specimens of
western snakes he will continue his ex-
periments. 1t is to be hoped that the
chloride Of lime remedy will be demon
strated effective, even at the expense of
destroying the monopoly of that other
snake-bite remedy that is so popular with
fishermen and hunters.
