"I have only read them in a general way, but the Senate bill seemed quite as sweep ing in conferring discretion and grave re sponsibilitV utpo the President as the House bill, except as to the railway trans portation. .l.c. "Isn't it something unusual for pohuemus to confer such important powers upon an opponent as the Senate bill sought to con fer upon President Cleveland?" "It is not the usual thing, and I rather suspect that the Republican Senators thought that they could use this retaliatory bill in the Presidential campaign of 188S." "Use it how ?" "Well, if Preident Cleveland exercised his discretion and precipitated a collision, he would be held responsible: if he didn't, and the dispute lingered along in statu quo, they would hold him responsible for that." "They proposed to catch him coming or goin(' Nery likely." "What are the chances of catchimg him in the event a retaliatory measure is finally agreed on?" . "Rather slim, indeed. The wide discre tion proposed would be wisely and safely lodged in President Cleveland's hands. lie is a man of great courage. and this courage is backed up by a level head. As great and grave as are the discretionary powers embraced in either of the measures, the in terests of the country would be safe in the President's hands.

WAsmfNGToN, March 10.-The March report of the Department of Agriculture of the distribution of wheat and corn shows that 36 .er cent. of the crop of corn is still in-the farmers' hands, a smaller proportion than in March, 1885 and 1886, but larger than in 1884. The estimated remainder is 603,000,000 bush els. The estimated proportion held for home consumption is 137,000,000 bush els, leaving 288,000,000 bushels for trans portation beyond county lines. The pro portion of merchantable corn is 86 per cent, making the quality of the crop comparatively high, 80 being the average percentage of merchantable in a series of pea-rs The amount of wheat on hand is *11 ver cent. of the crop, or about 12*2, 000,000 bushels, against 107,000,000 last year, and 169,000,000 in March, 1885, the largest surplus of the largest crop ever grown. it is 3,000,000 bushels more than in March, 1884, and 24, 000,000 bushels more than in 1882 after the shortest crop of recent years. The proportion held for local consumption is 194,000,000 bushels, and the proportion to be shipped beyord county lines is 263,000,000bshels. The quality of the arop is unusually good in the priiepal wheat-growing sections, the average weight being 58.5 pounds per bushel. A Lase with a isttory. The United States Supreme Court has just rendered a decision in the case of the heirs of Herman Speidle against Jacob Henrici, brought on an appeal from the United States Circuit Court for the Western district of Pennsylvania which brings to light an interesting' story. - In 1801 Geo. Rapp, brought to this country from Wurtemburg about 50 fami liers-and settled on the banks of the Ohio river about 20 miles from Pittsburg. The company were known as the "Harmony economists" and the town they fancied was . called Economy. Rapp not only installed himself as leader, but informed his follkw ers that he was their prophet and that they would jeopardize their salvation if they failed to turn all their property over to the ~church, he being the self-iamc chur ch. This was done and then the self-made prophet issued another edict forbidding marriage among his subjects. Everything went smoothly with the colony, and they flourished and were apparently happy until the year 1831, when one of their number, Herman Spiedel, revolted, went to Pitts burg and married. It was to recover his portion of the wealth of the "Economy" society that his heirs brought suit. The property involved is valued at $30,000,000 and as only about 15 families remaiu all are in atfluent circumstances. Henrici, the defendant in this suit, is now 80 years old. Without going into the merits of the case, as to whether the society was a proper one or not. ihe Court held that the complain ant, Speidel, having allowed his claim to sleep for half a century, the Court must Jhold his demand to be a stale claim, and adlirm the decision of the Pennsylvania Court. Mr. Cleveland Talks Business. The President has been talking about 1888. It happened in this way: The subject of the inter-State commerce commissionership was under consideration, and the issue of polities was brought in. .Th~.We question was whether a .certain gen :'mnn whom the President desired to have pon the commission could afford to ac -eept. Very frankly the point was made ihat 3Mr. Cleveland might not be his own successor, in which even:t the one accept ing the commissionership for the short term would serve during the perplexing and unsatisfactory period that the law was being put in operationl, and would then, in all probability, iand himself thrown out. The gentleman was proceeding to apolo 'efor his plainness of s.peeh, when 3ir. ' eadinterrupted him. "That is all right; speak frankly. P'oli tics are very uncertain. I may be renomi nated and 1 may not. If I am renominated the election is not sure. If the Republicans nominate Allison and Hawley, Allison will evridently carry Indiana. Hawley will carry Connecticut and New Jer~sey. 1 would expect to carry )re-gon and Califor mia, but how is it about Virginia and North Carolina-i" This is the frankest expression that has come fronm the President on the stubject of the next Presidential campiwen. .itrange'r than Fiction Are the rc-ords of some of the cures of consumption effected hby :ha't motst wonder ful remedy--Dr. Piere's "Gol' -den 3etdical Discovery"'Tho uns of grate'ful men and women, who have '(en snatcd al most from the very ''s of dteath, can tes tify that consumion,0 I' as early stages, is no longer incur'hie.

Two interesting reports of legislative committees appointed to investigate phases of the labor question have been lately made public. One is the report of the commit 'tee of the House of Representatives ap pointed to inquire into the cause of the We-tern railroad strikes; the other is the report of the committee of the New York Assembly. which has been investigating the recent coal strike at New York. Both coniitteus devote some space to a consid cration of the rights and the limits of action cf orzanized labor, and both agree in takii.g a soand view of the matter. Their conclusion is in effect that, while the right of a mn or of bodies of men to refuse to ibor for what they regard as unjust re muneration is unquestionable, the right of employers to determine what wages they .hall pay is equally unquestionable, as is the right of workmen who desire to keep oof froni labor associations or combina tions to dispose of their labor as they please nd at what rates they please, and that any co'instraintorintimidationintendedtorestrik t this freedom of employers and unassoci ated laborers is improper and unlawful. The cougressional committee apparently has no great confidence in the efficacy of arbitration. while the New York committee thinks that the board of arbitration in that State has too little power, and suggests an increase of the sane.-Bradstreet's. Another Big Deal. Tie -New York Tines says that it is au tho:ized to announce that the control of the 1:iltimore and Ohio railroad has passed into the hands of Alfred Sully, of New York. buil. it says, has a written contract by virtue of which President Robert Garrett puts him in possession. In an article over a column long the Timtes says: "The possibilities of this new control are bevond estimation. By the acquirement of the acquirement of theBaltimore and Ohip rlroad- the one railway of the land that has ever been considered out of the mar ket-Sully and his friends become con trollers of what is probably the most ex I tensive railway sysfem in the world. It stretches from New York to almAost all parts of the South and far into the West. It includes the Central railroad of New Jersev, the Philadelphia and Reading sys tem, the Richmond Terminal, the Rich mund and Danville pioperties, the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia lines, the Central railroad of Georgia, and now, last of all. the Baldtimor-e and Ohio. All of these properties then are to be made one great trunk line with 16,000 miles of track. There is no longer to he any question about how the Baltimore and Ohio road is to get an entrance to New York. The Jersey Central and Reading lines give that. The control of the Baltimore and Ohio Express and Telegraph Companies is included in the trausfer." Thie Times- says that Garrett will remain as President of the Baltimcre and Ohio road.

To the Edilor of the Xcer. end Couricr: Permit me to thank you for the kind 'er gestion made to President Cleveland to ap point me to the otice of Register of D)ecds for the Distriet of Columbia, should the Senate reject the nocination of Mr. Trotter. as appeared in your issuse of the :,.1 inst. I rejoice to see the time coming when inci dents in the administration of political par ties will show to the colored man, of the South especially, that lie must regulate his politics as white men do. to wit. according to his best interests and the highest welfare of the government. I do not endorse much that the Demno cratic party has done toward the negro, bt I recognize the folly of dwelling upon i. in the face of changed relationh4ips and a new era in the South. The negro must leet in the South that line of politics which will give him protection in his rights. To say to him that he cannot be protected is bad as to deny him protection. Fearing that some may say that this is written to favor my nomination to the o!lice, let me say that I know while I write of Mr. Trotter's confirmation, anl am -;le of it. Why should a negro Democrat be objected to by Republicans and a white accepted I cannot understand. The Repib publican has done much good for the nc gro; let it continue in well doing if it will. but let it remember that its ward is a ian, a citizen, a thinker and a politiciatn, like its other members. In the South it is of especial necessity that the colored voter should be in co p ation and harmony with his white fellow citizen, to the end of peace and prosperity. politically and industrialiy. Very tirly yours, D. AucUs-s &rnAumn. A P'rayer Sent Up for Reporters. In the Senate this morning Chaplain Allison 'startled the august body by closing his prayer with a word for the newspaper men. He said: "And now, dear Lord, bless the reporters, -wnose nimble pens catch our every word almost before it is uttered. Like thyself, they are omnipresent and almost omnipotent. If we take the wings of the morning and fly to the utmost parts of the earth they are there. They meet us in the jumngles of Africa; they waylay us in the solitary canons of Colorado, and when at length we find the latitude of the magnetic pole behold they are there. May their sight and goodness be equal to their power, and when the general assembly of heaven convenes let no reporter be excluded. Amen!"-'St. Paul Letter in Chicago Times. Paying for the Dinners. There is a mistaken notion that a large share of the oflicial entertaining at the' White House is paid for out of a contii gent fund voted for the purpose. Only the "Steward of the Household,"- the flirtst. doorkeepers, ushers, waiters, laborers and Metropolitans, the furnishing, heating anti lIghting of the Mansion and maintenance of the conservatories are paid for out of funds appropriated. Out of his salary .f 950t, 00) a year the President pays for his chief and assistants, for all his official (dinners as well as his private living, the waiters at his official or unofficial table and the femiahe domestics in the private parts of the Man sion. lie also pays out of his own pocket for his private coachman, footmen and sta bleen and the care of hsis private horses. It is a small business for a great nation, bat such are the drains upon the annual sti pend allowed the President out the public treasury. The Panels for Garlleld'se Tomb. Casper Buberi, the sculptor, has hinished the fifth and last model of the panels which are to be cast and placed on Garfieli's toib. This last panel repre-en:ts Garfield lying in state and the peop!e passing by hit body. There are 21 tigures, and all are life size. At either end of the bier stands a soldier and a Knight Templar. A young girl stands in the foieground with a wre-ath in her hand. Trhe first of the panels rep resents Garhield as a school teacher, the secontd as a s-)hdier at Chsicamaugai tihe third as an orator, and the fourth taking the oath as President.
