CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Record (Dem) says:
Although the Republican majority i'll
the next House of Representatives will be
less than dozen votes, there seems to be
but little partisan interest in the various
real or pretended contests set up for the
purpose of increasing the size of the par
tvs representation in the House. Thus
far testimony has been filed in but seven
cases. and there is little likelihood that
proceedings win be undertaken in others
which have been vaguely threatened. AS
a matter of fact, it is going 10 be a very
difficult matter to break into the next
Congress by way of the contested seat
route. Without the powerful assistance of
Speaker Reed, who is reasonably certain
of reelection. the trick would be practl-
cally impossible"
The Louisville Courier-Journal (Dem)
says; There is some excitement up in
Weathersheld, Conn, about a proposition
TO establish there a home for aged and
INDECENT negroes. The Harriet Beecher
Stowe Association, which is composed of
colored women, has contracted for a
$4,000 house in Weathersieid, and has
paid 500 10 bind the bargain. But the peo-
pie of the Connecticut town are agitated.
They do not want this home in their
midst The truth is, the Northern peo-
pie who have seen but little of the negro,
owing 10 the scanty population of that
race, are even more intolerant of the prox-
unity of colored people than are the resi-
dents of the South, who know the negro
we'll sympathize with him. but also draw
the color line in social matters"
The New Orleans Picayune (Dem) says:
THE national laws as applied to the mill
tia are sadly in need Of remodeling. They
are practically the same as they we're a
hundred years ago. The existing allegi-
ance 10 the various states is excellent in
every way, and should not be disturbed;
but there should be a more liberal provis-
ion made by the government for arming,
equipping and drilling these state troops,
and their position IN the general plan of
national defense ought 10 be better out
lined"

An odd report comes from Missouri. 1t is
that while the members of the legislature
with their denunciations of trusts and cor
porations. they are actually preparing to
pass a bill which will make Missouri a
pval to New Jersey In the licensing of
trusts to prey upon not only their own
state but others The Missouri bill, in
deed, is believed to be more liberal than
the New Jersey laws, and the prediction is
that, should the bill pass. trusts of abso-
lutely unrestricted powers could be or
gained under 1t.

A Berlin cable says that Aleppo boils
have appeared on many Of the gentlemen
and ladies' who accompanied the Emperor
and Empress to Palestine, but that their
majesties escaped the troublesome com
plant by the use of an antidOte furnished
them by the Sultans physician before they
left Constantinope. Among the afflicted
are nearly all of the clergymen of the i'm
perial party. 1t would seem that the Sui
tan and his physician had Played mean
trick on the Emperors friends, if they
knew of the danger of the visitors to be
afflicted with the boils after visiting the
Holy Land. and neglected 90 supply others
than their majesties with the preventive.
Chambers says that the Aleppo boils are
very painful; that they generally break
out on the face, last for a year or more,
and dishgure the countenance badly.

BIG RAILROAD COMBINE.
Vanderbilt and Pennsylvania Alliance
Moving Forward.

New York. July 22.-The Times says:
Important steps have just been taken
in the advancement of the alliance be-
tween the New York Central and Penn
sylvania railroad systems. As Presi-
dent Cassett of the Pennsylvania. was
at the New York Central executive Of
flee on the day of the formal vote for
the Boston < Albany lease, and SuS-
gestive interest was melted thereby, so
now significance attaches to the fact
that President Galloway of the New
York Central was visiting Philadelphia
an official return call. This trip of
the New York CentraPs chief executive
to the Pennsylvania headquarters was
quietly enough conducted.
Mr.. Galloway ran over to Philadelphia
from his summer home on the New Jer-
sey shore. He was expected Business
of Importance was transacted. The new
cooperative New York Centra1-Penn-
sylvania policy is now operative. Pres
ident Getaways visit concludes details
that practically perfect the deal through
which William K. Nanderbllts plans
become dominant in the entire eastern
trunk line field.
Mr. Vanderbilt is at business again.
He has had a conference with his chiefs
of staff. He has gone over reports
treating of matters of large cOnse-
Quence. He has given new orders He
is ready to put extraordinary under
taNngs into operation And the trip
of President Galloway to Philadelphia
plays an important part in the long
developing programme.
One undertaking is the project of a
tunnel under the North river directly
connecting the New York Central and
Pennsylvania railway tracks-a tunnel
for which, it is intimated franchise
rights already exist. A New York Cen
tral-PennsyIVania authority speaks of
them as assured" The establishment
and use of such tunnel connection
would be mora than the token of actual
alliance between the two greatest of
eastern trunk lines; it would signify
revolution in eastern trunk line traffic.

1t has been determined to place a

GOOD WORD FOR ALGER.
Senator RedfeId Proctor Defends the
Ex-SecretGry.

Boston, July Ex-senator Redfeld
Proctor of Vermont, former secretary
of war, who was in this city today, re-
ferring to the resignation of Secretary
Alger in an interview said:
L think that in due time you will
see a reaction against some of the abuse
which has been visited upon Secretary
Alger. He has been very seriously mis-
represented He is a good business
man and he has worked hard and ably
in his position and he IS not deserving
of the severe criticisms which has been
passed upon him. When General Alger
took Charge of the war department he
found himself hedged about with many
difficulties over which he had no control
at all and which was an outgrOWth of
the American system. With European
governments it is customary to make
changes in the staff and make such re-
assignments as the circumstances de-
mand, but our system is positively in
flexible, a man upon the staff is there
during his military life and the secre-
tary Of war is not free to reOrganize
the business of his office to the best
advantage. General Alger had no re-
sponsibility at all for some Of the poll
cies or acts for which he is criticised
and I doubt if any other man in his
position could have done differently"
