TIE courts are waking up 20 the fact
that 10 Is advisable 20 ask few questions
when ex-parte applications are made fer
the appointment OF receivers Of trusts and
corporations. II courts were a little more
careful about this matter there would be
fewer railroads wrecked. in our dis
patches yesterday it was announced that
United States Judge Grosscup at Chi
cage had removed Joseph Greenhut from
The receiyership Of the whisky trust
Sir. Greenhut Is president of the whisky
trust. and some Of the stockholders were
NOT satisfied with the reports he made
Of the financial condition Of the trust.
They organized with the view Of bring
ing about a change in the trusts man
agement Learning Of this Mr.. Greenhut
went before the United States court at
Chicago and had himself and a friend aD-
pointed receiver Of the trust.
The dissatisfied stockholders at once
asked to have the order making Mr..
Creenhut receiver set aside. Il appeared
during the proceedings that Mr. -Greerhut
did not own a share Of the stock of the
trust and that he had sold 1900 shares
Of tEe trusts stock which he did not have.
II was alleged that his purpose was TO so
alarm the shareholders that he could buy
the stock much below the price at which
he had sold the 1900. and thus make a
big sum OF money. In order to depress the
stock he would have to show that the
trust was in very bad financial condi-
ton.
Judge Grosscup decided that Mr.. Green
hut was not a fit man to be receiver of the
trust. and in that opinion. those who
are familiar with the proceedings In the
United States court in which the case is
pending, will agree.
Is il not about time that the courts
should make it clearly understood that the
men who wreck corporations are not fit
to be receivers of them? Having wrecked
the properties entrusted to their care
they should not be permitted to have the
power to do them any more injury. The
courts have been altogether to careless
IN this matter. Ii is not difficult to find
Instances where railroad wreckers have
bNtA maui AtNttNclS u AAt Wrecked Iodue.
The stockholders depend upon the courts
to protect their interests, and they some
times find out that the wreckers are
more kindly regarded by the courts than
are the stockholders. The time has come
for a radical change IN this matter
The new departure made by Judge Gross
,up should be a precedent TO be followed
by other judges.

Her UnpardonabIe sIistaIse.

She was a newcomer to that little mid
dle-class clique says the Buffalo Expire S.
Her husband was Of their set. but he had
married her in a distant city, and there
were rumors that she had been an actress
or something else disgraceful. The other
ladies in the progressive euchre club
couldn't understand her ways, and even
their husbands We're suspicious that She
had not always moved in society so eN-
allied. Finally she was caught red-handed,
so to speak. and thereafter was ostracised
by these Snug Philistines. ! tell the story
of her downfall as It was told to me by
Capt. Adoniram Perkins. whose house is
filled with red plush furniture and So etch-
ings. and who is, therefore, generally re-
SpeCted on --- street.
Il always thought she was low-bred
thing. but we had no proof until the last
meeting OF the club. Then she forgot
herself and spoke of the other ladies pres
eut as women My wife wanted to take
IL up as an insult. but ] pitied the poor
thing. and so we concluded not to invite
her or her husband to any more of our
doings. It's rough on her husband. or
course, but, maybe II serves him right
for marrying a woman without any re-
finement. What's that? Lady has been
worked to death and woman is better
form nowadays! Oh, go on; you're kid
din. Nobody out female who goes out
washing by the day is a woman. Why. our
hired girl would quit il we didn't speak

Fewer Elections Wanted.
From the Nashville American Oem.).

There seems to be a decided tendency in
most of the states for longer terms of
elections. Many of the states have pro-
vided for longer terms and the movement
Is evidently gaining ground. Texas elects
the governor, state officials and house
members of the legislature once in two
years, senators being chosen for four
years, but an effort is being made to have
the constitution amended so that these Of
hcials viii be elected for terms of four
years. Louisiana and Mississippi have al
ready adopted this system. Seventeen
other states elect their governors for a
four years term, and more than this
number elect state senators also once in
four years. New York. however, has
changed the term of it's governor from
three years to two years by its new con-
stitution. 1t is, however. certain that in
many more of the states strong efforts

A votingmachine story that comes from
New York is worth repeating An enthus-
last who thinks mechanical voting, with
an automatic machine, offers the true So
luton of the ballot reform problem, had
set up an apparatus in a hall and was lee
turing on its accuracy and integrity. 1T
is impossible for voter to beat this ma
chine he said. There was a Tammany
man in the audience. Walking up to the
apparatus he eyed it critically for minute
or two. Pressing the button that records
the ballot. he noted the effect, and eyed
the apparatus for minute longer. Then
slipping the blade of his pen-knife through
an. aperture in the machine with one hand.
and manipulating the button with the
ether hand, he ratified off thirteen votes
before the lecturer could catch his breath
And then the Tammany man stepped
back and smiled.

What simple folks the country blacks
are is shown by the ease with which they
are swindled. For a number of years
smooth-tongued black rascals have been
making a living by contracting TO take
parties Of blacks to Liberia They have
operated In nearly every southern state,
and, according TO our dispatches yester-
day. they have been operating In the VI
cinity OF Mariana Fla. A fellow named
Wills Gordon agreed to take all the blacks
to Liberia who wanted TO 80 at the rate Of
a dollar apiece. Several hundred of them
paid a dollar each, and, following Cor
don's Instructions they assembled at Mari
anna Saturday last to begin their journey
TO Liberia. Gordon was to meet them
there, and they waited for him until
Monday, when they became satisfied that
they and their dollars had parted COM
pany forever. and that they had no pros
pect of seeing Liberia with Gordon as
their agent and guide. of course they
were very mad, and wanted to do some-
body an injury. But, when they have
overcome their indignation they will see
that even a 10-year-old boy could not
have been so easily duped. They ought
to have known that they could not get
as far as Jacksonville for 81 each. How,
then, did they expect to get to Liberia
for that sum? Did they expect miracle
to be worked for their benefit?
If the blacks would do a little more
thinking-if they would think to the ex,
tent to which they are capable-they
would not so often be the victims of swim,
dlers. AS long as they can be misled and
duped as easily as these Florida blacks
were there will not be much hope for az
improvement in their condition.

Incompetence Defeats Charity.

The people OF the drought stricken sec
lions Of Nebraska are still suffering, not
withstanding the generous contributions
Of the south and other sections Of the
country. In Nebraska Incompetent and
wholly unfit men appear to be in charge OF
the supplies intended for the sufferers,
and consequently the car loads of provis-
ions that We're so promptly contributed
when the call for aid was sent out are
packed in railroad warehouse at Lin
coin. the state capital. and a consider
able part Of them is rapidly becoming
unfit for use. Those who read our dis
patch yesterday respecting the handling
of the contributions must have been con-
scious of a feeling of Indignation that the
Nebraska authorities are so Indifferent
to the sufferings of their starving people
as to permit seventy-five car loads of
flour, potatoes and other articles of food
to remain stored in a warehouse while
tens of thousands of men. women and
children are actually starving. 1t is i'm
possible to conceive of the heartlessness
of those who are responsible for this de-
plorable state of affairs. Hasn't the Ne
braska governor any executive ability?
He is evidently lacking in some qualifica-
tion necessary for the proper administra-
ton of the high office he holds.
The food supplies" should have been
distributed as fast as received. 1t is well
known where the sufferers are to be found,
and there is no doubt that their need is
great. 1t is difficult to conceive of any
excuse for storing the relief articles in a
warehouse while thousands are crying
for bread.
The people are always ready to give
for a deserving purpose. and they respond
ed promptly and literally as soon as it
was known that the drought sufferers
of Nebraska were practically without
food. IT, however, their contributions are
to be permitted to rot in railway ware

promptly when another call upon their

The Brooklyn city council occupies an
unenviable position before the public. Its
action. in "revoking the charters of the
trolley roads presents strange adn,ix-
ture of inslncerity and government by
mob. The aldermen were not convinced
that they had the power to take awav
the charters. They were clouded upon the
whole question; nevertheless. they resolved
to please the mob outside by making
random shot at the corporations. If the
shot were to take effect and smash the
corporations, the aldermen could ieHci-
tate themselves upon having acted in ac-
cordance with the popular will; if it were
to fall short and prove harmless. they
could felicitate themselves unon having
appeased the clamOrng populace without
inhicting injury upon property. Tho al
dermen should have read Judge Gaynor's
ruling, in which he set forth that the peo-
pies interests were first to be considered.
before they ventured a shot that might
deprive the population of the means Of
cheap and rapid transit through the
streets.

Congressman Lem Quigg of New York is
now the editor of the New York Press.
Behind that announcement, it is alleged,
there is some interesting political deals;
and In it there is promise of lively times
ahead in the Republican party of New
York. The Press has lately changed own
ership. The money for the purchase was
put up by Henry Einstein, a brother OF
Edwin Einstein. once republican candi-
date for mayor of New York city. Mr..
Einstein is a wealthy manufacturer of
woolens. Mr.. Quigg. the editor. is a
staunch supporter and admirer of Thomas
c. Plat, the republican boss, hence the
supposition is that Plat is interested in
the deal and will have in the Press a per-
sonal organ. About all of the other repub-
lican papers in New York city are pouring
hot shot into Mr.. Plat. If it is true that
the Press has become Plat organ, then
DR.. Parkhurst may look out. The boss has
no love for the preacher, and will en-
deavor to break his power.
