This is the narrative Of Potter Palmer
and his chief porter, as told in a Chicago
paper:
Mr. Palmer has what he considers an
educated taste in horsefiesh. He thinks ne
knows a trotter when he sees him. and
has little doubt OF his ability TO Judge
Of the aforesaid trOtter when he sits be-
hind him with ribbons in his hands
Mr. Palmer some time ago bought a
horse with an alleged ability 10 do a mile
in ESQ, that struck him as being extremely
desirable He paid a good deal of
money for the animal, and he was filled
with delight when he thought OF the easy
ana brasn manner in which he would pass
drive.
He asked Mrs. Palmer to come out with
him to try the new horse, and having
nothing better to do, Mrs. Palmer con-
scented: The wagon was yoked up and
the driver attached.
one by one the speedy horses Of the
neighboring ArmOurs and Trees and Hea-
lys were passed, and Mr.. Palmer was just
beginning to rejoice in his purchase when
there came the rattle Of badly con-
structed village cart.
we will have to have one more run, my
dear, said Potter Palmer.
Just this once, love-" said Mrs. Potter
The Gathering came nearer. and nearer.
and nearer, and then presenter, and pres
enter, and at last PASSENGER and Passenger,
beyond anything Potter Palmer and his
new horse could do, but as the vehicle
went by Mrs. Palmer recognized the dri-
yer.
1t was his own head porter! The man
who had brought him to open shame was
the person who told the slaveys how %
pile the trunks around in the Palmer
house.
Mr.. Palmer said nothing just then,
but got back to the hotel as soon as posi-
Bile.
How much does that head porter get
a month"; he demanded.
FIFTY dollars" replied the manager.
How can he buy trotting stock on $50 a
month";" demanded Mr.. Palmer.
oh. you forget his fees"
What fees2'
Why, his tips-the mouey people give
the head porter when their luggage is
brought to them"
Hereafter" said Mr.. Palmer. mo por-
ter is to be permitted to collect fees You
see that he does what he is paid to do
for what he is paid for il. And by the
way, find out what he will take for that
horse he had out today

The report which the experts employed
to investigate the books of the whisky
trust makes a bad showing for those who
had control of it before it was put in the
hands of a receiver. If the statements
that have been given out are true, it is
not to be wondered at that the trust was
wrecked.
The directors, it is charged sold them
selves trust stock at figures which net
ted them s2.OOO,OOO II is also alleged that
they speculated in the stock with the
money of the stockholders, and that no
mention is made in the books of about
400, 900 in rebates that was paid to the
trust by the transportation companies. If
these charges can be substantiated, the
officers and directors are in a pretty bad
box, particularly if it is the purpose of
the stockholders to prosecute them.
That they ought to be prosecuted there
is no doubt If they are innocent their
good names ought to be cleared of the
stain now upon them, and If they are
guilty they ought TO be punished to the
fullest extent of the law 1t is too often
the case nowadays that officers and di-
rectors OF corporations are allowed to es-
cape with their booty Examples should
be made of every one of them.
Railroad wreckers have done the credit
of the country an incredible amount of
damage, besides taking from individuals
and charitable institutions their means
of support. They are really worse than
train robbers and should be shown no
mercy.
The opinion was expressed by the dele
gates to the Waco cotton convention. as
reported in our dispatches yesterday. that
while they favored reduction of the cot
ton acreage, the convention was called too
late for its action to have much effect upon
the Texas crop. Then, why was the con-
vention held so late? 1t was called by
practical cotton planters, who certainly
knew when the planting time would begin,
and when there would be time enough to
circulate the conclusions of the convention
among the planters. Did the Texans fix
their date too late" purposely? The
prospects are. so it is reported, that the
Texas crop viii be reduced 20 per cent. If
It should be. it will be due to the sensible
conclusions of individuals, and not to the
efforts Of the Waco convention
The Manufacturers Record shows that
forty-two cotton mills for the south have
been organized in the last three months
That doesn't look much like the southern

In Delaware they deal with ordinary
recaloirants at the whipping post. The
wonder is that nobody has suggested that
the dead-locked legislature be treated as
an ordinary recalcitIant.

POPES LETTER TO BISHOPS.
HE OPENS WITH THE WORDS LONG,
 INOU4 OOEANI SPATIA.

Points Out the Fact That the First Bishop
 in America Was a Friend of Washington
 American Episcopate Urged to Put an
 End to Strife.
 London, Jan. 27.--The Standard will print tomorrow a summary of the pope's encyclical letter to the American bishops. The letter opens with the words 'longinqua oceani spatia." It re- calls the fact that the pope associated himself with the 40Oth anniversary of the discovery of America, the evangeli- zation of which was the first care of Co., lumbus and was realized by the Fran ciscan and Dominican monks and Jesuit fathers. After pointing out that the first Catholic bishop in America was great friend of George Washington, his holiness shows how the episcopal coun- cils, aided by the breadth of view and equity of American laws, assured the development of Catholic institutions.
 It was to contribute still more to this development that the pope had founded the University of Washington, for 1t was important that Catholics should be in the front rank of education in the sciences-even the modern sciences,pro- vided that they were harmonious with the integrity of the Nfaith. To this end his holiness exhorts all Catho- lies to do all in their power to encourage the progress of the university in Wash inpton as well as the North American college in Rome.
 As regards the apostolic delegation to the church in the United States, the pope says that it was instituted with view 10 drawing more closely together the bonds between the Catholics of America and the holy see, without in any way curtailing the powers of the bishops His holiness urges the American epis- copate to put an end to strife and to instill the idea of the unity and perpet- uity of marriage among the faithful and to inculcate the civil and religious vir- tues
 The pope calls upon bishops to turn aside the workingmen's associations from law-breaking and violence. He urges them to teach newspaper men to respect religion and truth, and to re- prove those journals which pass judg- ment upon episcopal acts; finally, to turn the Protestants to Catholicism by charity by instruction in the doctrine of the Catholic church and by leading exemplary lives.
 In conclusion his holiness recommends the sending of missionaries to the In- dians.

Body of an Unknown Man Found Near
 James Street Bridge.


 Shortly before 3 o'clock yesterday morning the mutilated remains of an unknown man were found lying on the Consolidated railroad tracks near the James street bridge, Cedar Hill. The body was discovered by the engineer of the Washington express, north ward bound, about 2:45 o'clock. The train was stopped the remains, which were horribly mutilated, were picked up and taken to the signal tower and Medical Examiner White, who was notified, had the remains removed to Lewis & Maycocks. They were un- recognizable, being cut to pieces.
 It is supposed that while under the influence of liquor the unknown man laid down across the tracks and while asleep was run over by passing freight train. It is probable that when the remains were found they had been ly- ing on the track for at least an hour.
 Up to late hour last night the body had not been identified. The victim was dressed like brakeman, had on two pairs of trousers. In one of his pockets was found a memorandum book, in which occurred several times the name Thomas O'Keefe, Youhae, County Cork, Ireland" There was also a broken bottle, which had contained whisky. He was apparently thirty years old.

The chambers will meet tomorrow to hear the presidents message. Some hot de- batting is likely to ensue, as ex-Premier Goblet, who now poses as a socialist, will interpellate M. Ribot as to the new cabinets home policy.
 The certainty of the attack has caused the government to forego its in- tention of reading a formal program. A secret cabinet meeting was held at M Ribot's house this morning.
 A second cabinet meeting was held at the Elysee. It lasted from until 6:3O D. m. President Faure told the ministers that General Jaimont had de- clined to served and a dispatch was sent to General Herve, commander of the Nineteenth army corps, stationed at Algiers, offering him the war portfolio.

The London Standard Discants on the
 American Bond Sale.


 American Bond Sale.
 London, Jan 27-The Standard will say tomorrow: It took six months to exhaust the proceeds of the last Ameri- can bond sale The next may go in three weeks on the present lines. The states are likely at no distant date to find themselves head and ears in debt, the currency Appreciated to any imaginable discount and all the indus tries of the country in a state of col lapse MT. Cleveland knows this, but the chosen representatives of the people appear to be ignorant of the peril.
 Amateur professors of statecraft in Europe and at home are urging MT. Cleveland to the redemption of the over grown paper currency by huge gold loan issued partly abroad. It is im- possible to get law authorizing such a loan through the present house, and the temper and tendencies of the next house nobody knows. The only step seems to be another sale of per cent. currency bonds for gold.
 This will last till the special session of the n W congress can be summoned in March to deal with the currency. The prospect is cheerless, but the Americans have trick of suddenly acting on a decision when it is least expected. If they make up their minds to do so they can end their money troubles in a month."
