Gresham and Mcpherson.

New York Times.
One Sunday afternoon when Judge
Gresham was postmaster general I found
him sitting in Mcpherson square in
Washington city. looking thoughtfully at
the statue OF Gen. Mcpherson. and he
told me story in explanation OF his Gus
tom OF sitting in that particular place.
When Gen. Hood threw his entire army
AGAINST Gen. Sherman in an attempt 10
drive him from Atlanta. Mcpherson COM
manded one division OF Sherman's force.
That was in July, 1854 Gresham was. I
believe a brigade commander under Me-
Pherson. The fighting had been going on
for three days. starting July ~ on July
-, while under orders from Mcpherson.
Gresham was wounded bullet paSsinq
through his leg. from the effects OF which
he SIN limVS. Word was at once sent 10
Mcpherson al his headquarters. lie gave
orders that Gresham he taken 10 the haa-
gage train 10 his own car. and treated
him promptly and carefully as was possi
bio. He then started from his tent to-
ward the scene OF action. The road from
his tent 20 the baggage train was a
straight line, while the route from the
point where Gresham fell was a circs,i-
tons one. As soon as possible Gresham
was taken 20 the baggage train. and as
be was taken from the stretcher he heard
some one say, This is awful" He asked
what had happened. and as the attend
ants placed him on the car foor he turned
and saw the dead body Of Gen. NcPber-
son. lie had been shot a minut. ar ta-o
after giving orders for the relief Of
Gresham. and his body had reached re

The transportation OF Western perisha-

ern Pacific. in conjunction with the Union
Pacific and the Chicago & Northwestern
railroads. have ordered between DO and
$50 ventilator cars, TO be run in compe-
tition with the refrigerator system OF the
established companies. IT cannot be
claimed that the ventilator cars will pre-
serve green fruit for as long a time as
the refrigerator cars. but to Offset this
disadvantage a quicker time OF transit
Will be adopted. and the shipper VIII thus
be insured against loss by delays and con-
sequent damage TO the fruit. During the
busy season trains made up of ventilator

that they will be able to deliver in good
condition everything except the most per-
ishable fruits, such as cherries and april
cots. The cost of transportation by this
new system vii be considerably less than
by the old method, and the growers are
expecting a corresponding increase in the
demand for their products in the Eastern
markets.

THE COST or A NEWSPAPER.

The year just passed has been the
hardest lone upon the newspapers that
they have experienced since 1869, says
the Press and Printer. Very few news
papers have gained in circulation, and
most have lost very heavily. About one
half of the newspapers and other publ
cations in the United States have de-
creased in size the past year The num-
Der that have suspended publication is
not definitely known, but it is known
that owing to decreased size and suspen-
sions there is 40 per cent less white pa
per of the news class used than was the
case one year ago The number OF
newspapers published today in the Unit
ed States is ten per cent. less than in
1898, the first year in twenty-five years
the statistics have shown a decrease.
In New York state alone 273 newspapers
suspended publication in 1898, and II is
said that in 1894 at least $50 more joined
the great majority. These figures are
compiled from authoritative reports,
and are not guess work. Of course
many newspapers have started, but the
number so started has been far less than
the number that have died.
There was a time when a good news
paper could be published for from $50
to 5000 per week. That day is gone by
Few daily papers of any size have an ex-
pense less than $3.50 week, and it will
cost So, 900 a week to get out first
class eight to twelve page paper of 5000
to 5000 circulation, [, will thus be
seen that in The cold light of practical
calculation the average newspaper is not
so cheap plaything as one might i'm
agine.

CONGRESSMAN RUSSELrS IDEAS.

Congressman Russell, of thi state, is
quoted by the Baltimore Suns Washing
ton correspondent as follows; II am
opposed to a registration law. l am OPP
posed to the Australian ballot system
I am heartily in favor of fair elections,
bnt I believe much of the agitation for
reformation of our methods comes from
men who have failed to obtain what they
wanted from the democratic party
There gwas one man l know of in my
state who talked louder than any one
else about corrupt practices who
was generally accused of having worn
his middle finger, which was shorter
than the others, down to its present size
stuffing aballot boxes" The congress
man is mistaken if he thinks the de-
mand for ballot reform is not general.
1t is possibl y true that disgruntled office
seekers are in the ranks of those crying
for reform in the matter. 1t would be
exceptional if the Ileeches did not attach
themselves to the movement Neverthe-
less, the blood suckers are pretty well
known, and will be watched by the vo-
tiers who have the good of the state and
marty at heart The ballot reform SEN
timent is strong and growing, and at the
next session of the Legislature of this
state the Australian system will proba
blv be adopted. Savannah News.

ton. as illustrated by the census re-
turns. Mr.. Gannett's lnvestlgatlon
shows that the negroes, while increas-
lag rapidly in this county, are dlmln-
ishing Rim numbers relatively to the
whites. Tney are moving southwark
from the border states into those OF the
South Atlantis and the Gulf. They pre-
fer rural to city life. The proportion
of criminals among the negroes is much
greater than among the whites, and that
of paupers is at least as great. In the
matter of education the number OF ne
gro attendants at school is far behind
the number of whites, but is gaining rap
idly upon that race.
