Varluty ontertalnment, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1890, A NoMNER of correspondents desire to be informed whetner Garfield Is “elected by the popular yote.? Presidents are never elected in this country directly ‘by the popu- lar vote. Garfield probably has a consldera- ble pluratity of the popular vote over Han- eock,—not fess than 75,000,—Dbut he has not a majority over Haneock and Weaver. Gov. Wirtz, of Louisiana, acted with {ne decent haste and partisan zeal in appointing Mr. Manning, ex-Chief-Justice of tho Su- preme Court of that State, to siteeeed Mr. Spotford, deceased, in the barren honor of claimant to Kellogg’s sent In the United States Senate. It has been well pointed out that the Governor has power to appointonly when a vacaney exists, and the Sonate lias practic- ally declded that there is no vacancy tn the representation from Loulsinna, ‘The Rich- mond Dispatch, and other modernte papers in the South, utterly disapprove of Gov. Wiltz’s detion, ‘Tum reformers in Georgia ara respectful-. Ty invited to turn their attention to tho wrongs of the conviet-Inbor system in that State. Every respectable Georgian ig ashamed of It, yet the efforts to reform It aro painfully slow and Inetfect- Ive. A correspondent of Harper's Weekly, who has been looking Into tho subject, re- ports one caso of a boy 15 years of age, who has been in tho mines five years, and was sentenced nt tho age of 10 ton term of forty yenrs’ Imprisonment for burglary. ‘The con- vict-labor system of Georgia Is a disgrace to Southern elvilization, Gov.

Boutwell refers was tho Fouversion of the Democratic’ party to the policy of Protection before the Cincinnati Convention, , But it will occur to revenue re- formers among the Democrats that there was 9 still plainer way open to them after tho Convention had adjourned Mn, Rircnm, 9 member of tho English Parliament, has been at the head of a Com- wission to Inquire into the Injuries done British refiners and fmporters by the {mpost- tlons of forelgn bounties on sugar, Bfr, Ritchie could find no better remedy for tho ‘wrongs of his countrymen than the laying of countervailing dutics, Io accordingly mado & recommendation to that effect. But tho Government had changed after the appolut- ment of the Commission, and Mr. Hitehie got cold comfort froin the Board of Trade, ‘That depository of oficial wisdom has written a curt note to tho Workmen's Nation- al Executive Committee for tha Abolition of Foreign Sugar Bounties, closing thus: “Tho objections ta countervalling duties are so great that. the. Govern - ment are not prepared to entertain thelr con- sideration,” This note records tho Igno- Inintous falluro of the proposed Engilsh pol- {ey of retatintion, It never had much chanea of success, and has been moribund for two years past; now it Is dead, Tur difference between the Liberals ant tha extreme Bourbon reactionaries of the South was sharply defined last week in the speeches of two newly-clected United States Senators, Ex-Goy, Brown, of Georgia, was elected to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Gen. Gordon, In a speech to the members of tho Georgia Logis luture, shortly beforo his’ election, he suid that ae woull not go to the Senate to represent “ the suntlinentality ” of the State, Ile did not bolleve In “the sentiment of that aristocratic class which {ved high aud taught thelr children to love tu rule.” Mo complimented New Englund and the foreo of Yankeo idens; and sald he would favor tho education of the colored rica and'the devel- opment of all the resources of the State on the inost Hberal basty, At the epposlt poly in polities from him ty the now Senator from Alabuina,—to sueceed Houstun, deceased,— the ton. James 1, Pugh, In his speech of acceptance he suid that ho would go to the Senate as “a representative man of the Soild South; that there “never was greater necessity for the Southern people to stand together"; that he would be “true first to hls own Blate and section, in the bellef that so he could not be false to any other State or sees ton,” and more to the sale eee Al Pugh propa to “plant” himself upon the Con- sutition, ond to “fis his “eye on bls role of netion as the Christian fixes hls eve upon tho Jiely Cross.” While te is engaged In star-gazing in this romnntic fashion Gov. Brown wil bo gettIng Federal appropriations: ant tmmigrants tor Georgia, and in the end will prove to bo much tho more satisfactory representative of the two. When two leading Southern Democrats are as far apart as Brown and Pugh, the formation of a new party Lu that section should not be elther dit- fleult or remote. Jupar Lowrnt, the author of the draft of a new bankrnptey statute, to which ‘Tim ‘Trinwnn directed attention a few days auo, hagun interesting article om the subject in the Decembor number of tho Jrternational Review, Ife says that the merelunts of this country will never have so good an oppor- tunity te obtain a datistactory law as now, before the merits and defects of the old one aro forgotten, “It they walt,” the Judge vithily observes, “until me tide of un- shriven ghosts of debtors has foreed 9 pis sage by fmportunity, they must expeet that the relief which is then granted will partake of the temporary and neeidental, ns well ag sweeplng ant unillsertininating, eharae- ter of laws passed under sueh pressure?” In other words, tha Judge betieves that in busl- ness ng In polities it fs well to prepare for war tn thie of peace. Experlence proves that the merehants of this country will never be content for any lone period of thine to do without a National bankrupt law; and the need of one Is greater in proportion as the volume of business inereass ees THE SPECULATIVE FEVER. The boom" In prices which set ina little more than a year ago is being repeated, with slight variations, and possibly will end In tho. sune way, ‘The confidence which was rude: ly shaken by. severe tosses in bulling atl Kinds of what Wemmilek used to eall “ port- able property”? has revived within ovo or three months past, and appears now to have developed into a.genuine enthusiasm (en- thuate is Greek for“ madness”), A very great number of people have money whieh they do not know how to employ otherwise than In speculating, and go prices have ngain gone up witha bound. ‘The prices of wheat, corn, and pork have not yet buen advanced so high ns they wero Jast winter, while stocks and bonds sare generally — stronger than then, and -the surplus energy remaining has surged over Into real estate, giving to that a life and strength to which it was a stranger a year or twongo. This condition of things is noteon- fined to Chicago. It has spread more or loss allover tho country. Even stald Philade phia has experfenced the boom tn real es- tate,’ and from the towns and villages In New England thousands of orders are sent outdaily to buy wheat in Chleago or stocks in New York, This is prosperity, in onc senso of the word, Itis genuine prosperity, Insomuch as sume of the surplus capital Is being invested fa butldings, in railroad extensions, and tn other Industries collateral with or called out by these, Zhls gives employment to many thousands of workers who woull other- wise be {dle, wholly or In part fhat enables the tiller of the soll to real- ize better prices for his product, and In turn to thore freety patronize the manufacturer. ‘There Is, huwever, a possi- bility of overstraln In this dlreetion, and great danger of excessive confidence in “values”? The real danger es in the fret that speculation, as generally untlerstood and practiced, involves tho purchase of more property than enn be pald for untess the market conthiues to movo in favor of tho buyer. [four commercial customs were 0 regulated as that no one. would be regarded us the owner of property, reat or personal, unless ha had ut least patd for half of it, there would bo much Jess risk of undue in- ation, and loss resulting thereby, and fully ag much business would be transacted as is healthy’ for'n community. But the great mujJority of those who vperate In produce, In stocks, and in rent estate do so on a very small margin, They risk all upon the turn of the market, In the hope of specilily be- coming rich, If the market goes slightly ngalnst them they are swept off their feet, They nominally lose a great deal more than they ever owned. ‘The actual loss fs borne by the men who do own property, and have staked it ino an unequal contest. When so inany of tho former class are swept off their feet at once as to himper the course of trade, there Is a panic, and the mutural result ts hard tinies, such as have always followed an ers of undue spedulative agitation, misealled prosperity. There is great renson -to fear that wo are degenerating into another season of specu- lative fever, to ba followed by another col- Japse, and all because so many people are In-, tent upon betting thelr money In the hope ef increasing It that way instead of by legltl- mate work, It Is yet tlme to heed the Apostolic warning: they that muke hnste to be rleh- full into temptation and oa snare, and surround themselves with many sorrows. ‘This warning sh ould nddress itsell with special forey to the amateurs In specu- Jation who may be fiduced to invest In stocks by tho reports of great aul rapld profits which come from Wall street. ‘The tempta- tion to take these risks is Increased by the fnet thatthe regular and legitlinate invest. ments for surplis moneys: are peculiarly unprofitable Just at this the, . ‘lo pay Ul per cent premium, fur Instance, for the privilege of ownlng 9 bond that brings only 4 per cent interest appears to be a rather slow way to tho average American for money-getting, 1b should occur to the fortunate ponsessors of 0 surplus, however, that the Wall street pro- fesslonal operators inay be taking advantage of this condition of thing’, tind Uhat they are really untogding their aecuntititton of stocks atexaggerated and fictltlous prizes only to precipitate a collapse titer on, and buy thom back after tleeelng tho hunbs, ‘The patriarchs of old never assisted at a sient flea of fmmature sheep with move rellsh than fs taken mi the samo process by the patriarchs of Wall street, and the fatter sev to be pro- parlng the way fora new ceremuntul of this sanguluary nature. - BIGNS OF A SOUTHFRN BREAK-UP. ‘There are many signs since the defeat of the Democratic party not only Unt that or- guuization has commenced to disintegrate, but that the Suuthorn wing lias come to tha conclusion that the Interests of the South ave huiking no progress under the management of tho Democratic leaders In the North; and tliat the only road to prosperity and political power Iles in 0 closer afillation with the Northern people and in’ a closer applieauion to tho work of developing thelr resources and extonding thelr commeréa and Industries, ‘This senthnent ts continually cropping out in papers whieh but a short thine ago wero full of projudicg and malice toward tho North, tuul were preaching tha policy of State-soy- eretgnty and non-Intercourse, The oltt poliey of establishing direet trade with forelgn countries, of refusing any intercourse with Northern merehants, and of making Mason and Dixon's Line a sort of impassable Chi- nese Wall, ts giving way to a recognition of (he superiority of the North n.population, in onterprise, In the extension uf commerce, aml dn the: development of resourees, and to a aeativing sense of the ne tesslly of establishing sumo sort of 9 MONDAY, NOVEMBER Hy Ib rves ognizes this faets that If it Is. to: recover Ets former prestige it must arouse itself to the necessity of work.

Northern capital has been contemptuously ‘spurned, or Hf It has not been spurned the eonditions sure rountling its Investment have been such that no sane man would think of risking a dollar there. Mennwiille, to vent its spite against the North It has sought to obstruct alt legis- lation which was not in its favor. It has at- tempted to starve the Government Into com- plianee with its demands.

The relations between Germany and tho United States affecting tho rights of Ger- mman-American eltizens who return to thelr native land for pleasure or business are ina complicnted condition that gives trouble to both countries, malnly for want of x defintt understanding from whieh there ean be no appeal, As these relations now stand, they give satisfaction to nelther country, and they ure so little unterstuod that our State De- partincnt fs overwhelmed with queries from Germans who desire to revisit: thelr Father- land and are not sure of the reception they wil meot, or whether they will be allowed toreturn at all In thls dilema the State Depurtuent has done the best ttean by issu- ing 0 general elreular, which is forwarded te each applicant, setting forth that, in every easy where the applicant has become an American citizen and visits Germany as such citizen, with tho intention of returning, and where ho Wns not been guilty of the comtssion of erlme under tho German law, or. of. desertion from the Ger- nu carmy priors to ois emigration to this country, thls Government will pro- tect Win through Its representatives, and that In all sueh eases such protection has proved Itself to be eflienclous, Still It is evi dent that tho Goyermment cannot protect tiny one from the personal detention and eyen molestation that may oceur to hin in ease his status as an Amerlenn eltizen Is ques Honed. ‘The cmbarrassment of the situation Is obylous, since the conditions under whieh Germans havo left their natlve land, both with reference to military duty and to thelr local allegiance under the widely varying Jaws of the German States, aro different In most every ease, This diMleulty fs still further lightened by peculiar cases of whieh our awn Government ennmnat possibly have any knowledge at tha thne of the application for protection, ‘Shera are enses where Ger- mans have come to thls country for the special purposo of ayailing them- selves of the rights and privileges ‘of Anierlean citizens without assuming any of thelr responstblliiles, and who return to Germany te remain thera’ and become prae- Uvally eltizens, using thelr Amorienn tue rallzition papers to protect them from mille tary duly or from the performance of such local duties ag may be obnoxtaus to them, ‘The worst feature of the situation, how. ever, grows out of tha absence of any treaty with the German Emplro proper, ‘Tho only treaties In existence are those made by Mr, Bancroft with Prussia and the other States of Germany which under’ the German Conted- eration retaln thelr Independence of the Cen- tral Government In the matter of interpret.

Frankfort and other Jocalities in Germany swarm with these men, with Atmerlean naturalization pipers In thelr pockets, enjoying. tho. privi- leges of German eltizenship, but refusing to perform fts duties, This ts the class whieh mnkes the trouble, and It will be next to tm possible tu obtain from the German Government any treaty which — will allow such oa breach of — nattonal duty, nor should they be protected, sinee, 23 soon as these men settle down in Germniny and go into netive business, they cease to be- come American eltizens, aud have no right to demand Its proteetion, Permanent dom!- cil ina foreign land after a stay tn this coun try only long cnongh ta get ont naturallza: tlon papers forfelts, aud ought to forfett, all rights of American eitizenshtp, It may ben difleule matter to regulate ntl cases by treaty, but the difienlty will certainty be mratertilly lessened by making, ns we have intimated, a diregt treaty with the German Hinplre itself, and that wilknot bo dificult, as both tha Emperor and GBismarek are tn favor of centralization and the eonsolldation of power In the hands of the Empire.

Gartleld’s Administration, en STRUGGLE OF THE RAILWAY GIANTS, The reported combination of the Vander- Dilt Interests with the uston capltalists who controt the Chicago & Burilngton and the Atchison, ‘Topeka & Santa Fé Railroads anst Jay Goutd’s consulidated interests, East and West, was a natural consequence of the recent alliance between the Union Pa- elle, Central Pacific, and Southern Pacelite Companies. ‘The union of the latter corpora- tions shut out the Atehison & Topeka Road froma Paciiic outlet for two years to come, ‘The oxtenston of this read wilt eross the Southern Paelfie ln Arizona within a few months, and’ could thus gain a direct.con- nection with the Paeltie Coast through Southern California, (ut the Southern Pa- elfic was bullt by the owners of the Central Vaelfic, and the identifention of luterest with the Union Pacific will prompt the mannge- mentof tho Central Pacifie to refusu to the Atchison & Topeka any terms of connection which will enable the latter to compete for the business at Chieagoor the Eastern potuts, Vanderbilt's purpose in forming an allianee with the Boston entre-preneurs of the Santa Fé Pacific extenslon is to protect hls Eastern interests from the new competition offered by tho extension of Jay Gould’s Wabash system. As tho ease stands to-day, Jay Gould seems to have the advantage In this great strugete for the supremacy, but the fight has only Just begun. ‘The Boston capitalists who are pressing forward the Atehtson & ‘lopeka Railroad towards the Paelile, hoth by way of tha Territorivs and by way of Mexico, lave shown during the past two years an amount of energy and contidence that guarantee ul- timate reatization of their projects, ayd the addition of the Vanderblit prestige and cap- ital may serve to hasten the necomplishment of those projects, The work at both ends (for they are also bullding the Atlantic & Pacilie from the Pacific eastward) will prob- ably be pushed forward from new on atch more rapld rate than was orlglially desined, and tho present Pacific monopoly enjoyed by the combinéd Gould, and Muntington inter- ests nay bo of shorter duratton than {f they had made common cause against all new Paeifle ventures, Itls not Mkely that for the present the publle will enjoy any apparant advantage from this war between the ratlroad nag nates, ‘The Eastern trunk pool will be able forsomne tlme to maintain thelr high rates, and no combination is possible that will be able to compete for transcontinental busi- ness until thére shall bo some other outlet to the Pacific Coast bustles that’ under the control of the Union and Central Pacific Ttalfroads., Inthe meantime, however, the new spirit of rivalry will promote the more rapid completion of the enterprises alrendy lald out for renehing ‘the’ Vaeifle, and the manufacturers and the laborers will enjoy the benefit of the added energy, Tho shippers themselves may possibly secure some advantage from the new struggle, even before tho eom- peting lines shall have been finished, If the Gonld-Huntington combinution shalt have wisdom enongh to popularize thelr lines by making falr and reasonable rates before thoy shall be compelled to dogo by actual compe- (ition. It would be yery unilke. tho average railroad management. to take this business- like view of the case, however; and the new. tendeney' to rallroad: comblnation should {m- press Congress with the necessity for Na- tlonal regutation of the rallway corporations Inthe interest of the peopl.
