Vanderbilt, printed yesterday, in which the latter gentleman had made assertions not compliment- ary to the directors of the West Shore road. “Mr. Vanderbilt says that the West Shore was built to blackmail the New York Central,” re- marked the reporter. “The West Shore was the outcome of & crying necessity,” retorted Gen. Porter. “For the past fifteen years the people have wanted another road. The traveling public and the merchants along the line had been at the mercy of a grasping monopoly, to whose hands they were compelled to submit. During the summer montis navigation on the canals and the Hudson River was open, which gave partial re- | lief, but only bulky freight was shipped by water.

Merchants never Knew twenty- four hours ahead whether they would pay fort cents a hundred or eighty cents. It is a weil- Known fact local freight charges and passenger rates for 400 and odd mties of the New York Central were greater than from CHICAGO TO THE METROPOLIS. The passenger trains on the road were extremely limited in number and the schedule time was very unaccommodating. The cars were poorly venti- lated and sometimes actually filthy, with none of the modern conveniences. People of refinement were positively forced iato Wagner oars, not from a desire to enjoy luxury, buc in order to preserve their self-respect. Tbere have been instances in the depthof winter where there haye been no less than five stoppages on fast express trains le aused by hot journals, fractured wheels, disar- ranged machinery and other causes on a night New York to Utica. Frequently trams wait eignt hoursfor snow plows to There is nothing that should create an impression in Mr. Vanderbilt’s mind that our road was puiltto be sold or to black- maiibim, We-.bhave never approached him in anyway. Capitalists saw the growing necessity and possible profit in creating a new channel for the relief of Western traffic for the greater con- venience and benefit to the peopie of the State of New York. The people along the Mohawk Vai- ley would never have bought our bonds if they had been friendly to Mr. Vanderbilt. The hoid- ers of the bonds are perfectly satisfled. In fact, the people along the road were almost willing to “ive property for the right of way.” “MR. VANDERBILT SAYS tbat it will take cll the New York Central’s busi- ness in this Stateto earn the $11,000,000 neces- Sary tu pay the operating expenses and the inter- est on your bonds,” said the reporter, “The West Shore road enters the field ana will no doubt have to work hard and fight for all it gets,” continued Gen.

The road is fully equipped with the best appliances and its run from bave had to clear the tracks. stations reconstructed for years. lt cap, therefore, be operated for a minimum of the usual cost, for the reason that there will be nothing to spend for repairs or improvements during this period. The revenues can thus be used to pay its funded indebtedness, which, by no new system of lig! itning calcaiation, can be made to exceed $3,000,0v0.’ “Mr. Vanderbilt also says,” the reporter again remarked, “that the Construction Compan uld get all the money it wanted if it could satisfy the people th. at it Was 2 safe investment,’ “Well,” replied Gen. Porter, smiling, “at this period hi wraly anything but gilt-edged, with bouanZa bonuses attached, will tempt people to That’s the trouble with the Construction its Six newedad and at least Colmpany.

It does not take an eiastie imagination to recall the time the bondholders of the New York Central felé equally as shaky. The West Shore is not encum- bered with any unprofifable leased lines or heavy rentals, but goes intoihe fight like a_ trained athlete. If we can earn $6,000,000a year We can pay all our indebtedness. The expenses of oper- muting the road will nut be 50 per cent. A train of seventy Cars, with a capacity of 25 tons each, Can be run with ease on our road Oowby the aid of our enormous 65-ton engines, and to sustain this heavy weight the b ridges are made unusually strong.

It 1s unfortunate that tlie policy thus outiived interferes with the present effort on the part of the Joint Executive Conunit- tee to disctpline certain lines west of Chicago: but the Wesi Shore is now a through line, has good connections and must necessarily protect its in- terests by maintaining friendly business relations with all Western lines, regardless of the effect such actlua may have on the contention between the trunk lines east and west of Cnicago. in A DANGEROUS MANIAC, Supposed to be Suffering with Hy drephobia, Beats His Attendants. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. READING, PA., January 16.—Cyrus Grow, who is supposed to be sufferivg from hydrophobia, and who was handcuffed and manacled last night, to prevent him from doing himself violence or those about him, passed a very restless night. Early this morning he was quite rational for an hour or two, and pleaded with his brother to take the handcuffs off fora time. He seemed so thor- hly himself that the request was anted, but she if he had bardly been removed when another spasm came on, and it was hecessar to replace them. This was done with sume ifficulty, and some medicine was given him. His trenzy con- tinued to increase and his. eyes became glassy. He sprang up in bed, and by one violent wrench broke the handcuffs and amashed the footbuard ot the bed, to which his feet were tied. Then finding himself free he leaped from the bed and drove the family and attendants from the room. Mrs. Grow and a& Mr, Kuser were the first to gather courage to return. Hardly bad they entered the door when the madman seized Kuser, and threw him to the floor, where he began to beat him over the head and face with the broken handcuffs, whieh er ee tn a penlt ane ser ma to release aaa the room, without being serious!

St. Luke’s Hospital and the Mission School are deserving charities. Above all we congratulate the Missouri His- torica! Society on getting recognition to the extent of $5,000. This should start the building scheme again. MUST HAVE PORK. The timid who feared that this country would be devastated by the exclusion of toys, cosmetics, bric-a-bac, adulterated wines and eau de Cologne, in an attempt to vindicate the commercial honor of the Amer- ican hog, can nowrest in peace. The friends ‘of the noble animal are rising up in muiti- tudes on the other side of the water, and proclaiming him the peer of anything that wears bristles. Prof. Vircnow, who stands at the head of the physical scientists of Ger- many, declares that no sample of trichinous meat from America has been discovered in Germany for ten years, and that the prohibi- tion against American pork is utterly illog- teal, unnecessary and unjustifiable on saai- tary grounds. He will so report at the re- quest of the French Chamber of Deputies, and his view is confirmed by the re- port of Doctors BrovarpreTr and GRAN- CHER who have been investigating the subject in Germany for the French Minister of Commerce. The French Acade- my of Medicine has also decided in favor of American pork, and two journals, the Clairon and La France, are leading a popu- larcrasade against the prohibition, while the Council of Public Health and the Cham- bers of Commerce throughout France are all protesting against it. M. SIMONIN, a dis- tinguished economist, bas published an arti- cle in La France, in which he says: The war azainst American pork was becun and continued in the interest of aring of provectionist pork packers and raisers at Nantes, who want to monopolize the home market themselves. Now, it is high time that the French people should open gheir eves to the danger which Is now menaced by American reprisals. The reports of the Ameri- can Consuls to their Government have directed attention to the alleged xdulteration of Freueb wines. The analyses of the municipal laboratories of Paris iend color tw this charge.and perhaps give cause for the action of the American Congress. If the United States restrict or prohibit the im- portation of French another enormous loss wiil be inflicted on French commerce, and this at the very moment when our economic dis- turbance and diminishing exports are greatest. In the event of such prehibition, thiriy-seven and a half million francs wili be lost. thus making a ‘otal of pearly one huudred million francs, and thus paying dearly forthe protection of a few pork packers of Nantes. On the whole, there isa strong likelihood that we will not have to test the virtue of a retaliatory policy. This attempt to cut off the meat raticns of the poorwili soon array the masses in violent opposition to the pro- tection rings, ard the prohibition will be abat.doned before we can perfeet a retalia- tory measure. A single vote in the Hou,e indicating that such a measure will pass ap- pears tv be ab -ut all that is needed. Wiles, Tur sensational and unreliable nature of the New York pavers is the only possible ex planation of the panic into which the Times and Sua have fullen over the possi- bility of adecline in the value of American wheat. These aged alarmists actually gloat over the prospect of the American farmer being undersold in Eurvpe by the pro lucers ot wheat in India, Siberia, the Soudan and other new districts from which we have not hitherto had to fear comnpetition. We do not know what they are doing in Siberia, the | Soudan, ‘know that the New Orleans instead of explaining | India and elsewhere, bet we dv Pacific - proposes to give the Pacific wheat a 2,500 mile haul before New Orleans to Europe, and that Captain Eaps proposes to out-bid him by taking the wheat ships bodily on his ship railroad at Tehuan- tepec. It will be a cold when this country gets left through its inability to ship wheat to the market. _ shipping it from dav rc _ = on ” AFTER Emma DAvies had confessed that her wonderful chair and table-dancing per- formances in Shropshire, England, were a fraud, the Psychical Research Society took up her cause, and it is now reported that she denies her alleged confession, and says it was extorted from her by threats. An audience in a Georgia theater yesterday resolved itself into a Psychical Research Society, and sent Mr. G, J. BRYANT upon the stage to investi- gate the penformances of asimiiarly gifted Georgia girl. He discovered that the girl’s father also had great power over furniture. Theold man brought the psychical investi- gation to a sudden close by smashing a chair over the investigator’s head. ALL day yesterday intelligent and reputa- ble citizens could be seen guing about shiy- return of the cold weather as predicted by the weafher bureau. When ied up to the ther- mometers and confronted by the evidence that the cold snap had been “postponed on accountof the weather,” their sufferings were visibly diminished. If the weatter predictions are bound to be mistakes they might as well predict fine weather. Valtlasdingham's Death. From the New York World. Our editorial friend of the Globe-Democrat is not so familiar with events in Olio as he assumes to be. Vallandingham lost his life at Lebanon, Ubio. He was there as counsel for Tom McGee- han, charged with the murder of a main pamed Myers. Vallandingham claimed that Myers, who lost his life in a gambling house, fired his own p'stol When atiempting to draw it in the melee, the ball entering bis side. He was in his room in the evening after the adjournment of court pre- senting his theory to his associate counsel, Lieut.. Gov. Hugh McBurney. He picked a pistol off the table, placed it In bis hip-poeket and drew it hur- riedly, at the same time attemy ting to cock itin iiustration of what Myers might have done. His thumb siipped off the hummer and the Pistol was discharged into his side. He died after eight hours of intense suffering, conscious bearly all the time. His illustration was so effective that bis client was acquitted, though the burden of testimony Was sirongly against him. To say that Vallaudingham purposely took his own life js the bwght of absurdity. He was a man of sirong,vig oreus temperament. He was Sanguine, fond of > ' life, and full of ambition. At the time of his death he nad placed himself at the head of the “New Departure” in Ohio, and only three days be fore his death laid before a party of friends the plan of the campaign which he ardently hopéd would bring the crowning ambition of his life—a seat in the United States Senate. Payne for President. A Clevelander’s Interview in Chicago Inter-Ocean. “This Senatorial movement from the first is but a stepping-stone for the Presidency. Let me ex- plain: Samuel J. Tilaen 1s a firm friend of Henry B. Payne. He has been interested in the move- ment from the start, and his influence for New York is guaranteed. Then Mr. Payne’s son-ip- law,Wm. Whitney of New York, has considerable influence with John Kelly, and Jobn Kelly bim- self 1s personally interested in Payne’s presidency. Thus, you see, New York, the principal streng- bold for any candidate, is secured already. .Now, Col. Thompson, Secretary of the Standard Oil Company, who was the quiet manager of the cam- paign at Columbus, and wno really is the guiding power of the movement, is a brother-in-law of United States Senator Camden of West Virginia, & man of great political influence, who has inter- ested himself warmly in the Payne business. Col, Thompson was at one time a leading political manacer in Virginia, recogmzed as one of the shrewdest in the State. He has friends there who have guaranteed that State already.” “What about Ohio?” “Obio is all rigbt. If rayne cannot carry Ohio no mancan. His campailgnin this State will be managea with consummate skill, and Ohio will be taken care of.”’ In connection with the movement to secure New York, through the aid of Corporation Coup- se] Whitnzy, it is interesting to remember that Col. O. H. Payne recently presented bis sister, Mra. Whitney, with a very handsome million dol- lar resideuce in that city. Fiower’s Boom. New York Correspondence of Philadelphia Times. One of the best managed fortunes in New York is thatof Mrs. Henry Keep, whose husband left her less than two million dollars, which has been increased to beiween four and five millions by the providence and sigacity of Mrs. Keep’s 6is- ter’s nusband, Mr. R. P. Flower, the same gentie- man who beat Mr. Astor for Congress. Flower tau.bt schooi a little while in early life, and worked In a factory and finally became a mer- chant and a bauker. He has bad a brilliant career here for the past tourteen years and bas madea fortunefor hiniself. He was the most conspicuous candidate for Governor when Mr. Cleveland was nominated. Finding the bulk ef Mrs. Keep’s fortune to be in Northwestern stocks be sold them out after the panic of 1873 at about 8 and tbeg went down to l4 afterwards,when he began to buy them again.and they wentup to 120 or 130. The original stock wasall made by Mr. Keep by manipuiation ip Wall street and cost him nothing but his time. Avouta million of this fortune has been given away in bequesis and charities, the last of which Was an asylum for ola people, at Watertowa, to commemorate the bumble origin of Mr. Keep Limself, whose father died in the almshouse. Tilden’s Choice. New York Cor. of the Philadelphia Times. 1 often see mev who are [resi from Mr, Tilden’s ouse and they ali tell the same story, that while his bead shows smartness at iniervals be is al- most an aulomaion plysically, 4o0zes while peo- ple are talking to him at bim his own fireside, awakens and asKs a pertinent question or twoand makes a sage remark and then falls off to sieep. Que of the very men whe has been humoring the idea of nominating Tildeu saidtome yesterday: “it don’t see how we could inaugurate him it he was elected. We could not stand him up long enough to go through the ceremony.” Tilden, however, has been scheming so many years that he will not give up the great scheme of his life without a struggie. He wants to select the next President candidate and is waveriug between Hewitt, Hoadly ana Flower.

THE METROPOLITAN®PRESS. = What the Editors of the New York Journals Are Saying To-Day. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch, NEw YorK, January 16.—The WORLD says: “Senator Hill of Colorado, who wants to erecta Government building in every town in the United States having a pupulation of 1,000, is one of the ablest defenders in the Senate of the aristocratic scheine to put the Government into the postal tel- egraph business. Hill would support a bill to consolid.ite the express companies and turn them over to the Goverument. He is no doubt in favor of « Government subvention for all the operas and theaters. Anything to spend money and mignify the power and gloryof the Government. But the Colorado Senator is small putatoes and few in the hill.” THE TIMES.

Mendicant. 7; A Post-DIsraTcnun reporter slept last night on a cot in the cozy kitchen of a street beggar’s com- fortabie home on Engenia street near High street. He slept there the night before, too. It came about in this way: Kecent reference having been made to the fxct that there area great many fraudulent professional alms-seekers on the streets of all large cities, whose earnings exceed those of honest tolers, be treporter was | sent forth to investigate the matter and lay the result of bis inquiry in the shope of such an ar- ticle as this on his cily eaitor’s desk, The plan of procedure was an easy one, wiihin certain lim- its. It would pot be difficult to investicate one or two beggars’ conditions, but If the whole rank and file of paupeiism were to be hunted down, then the task was endless and almost hopeless. The reporter chose the easier alternative, and to make the work as Ilight and gswilt as possibile, selected a, single, well-known beggar and made him the victim of the investiga- tion. Just this side of Morgan street near Fourth, when the crowd was passing last week backward and forward to catch a glimpse of the beautiful icy ruins of the St. Nicholas Hotet building, de- stroyed by fire, sat on a small box a beggar who has been a familiar sight on the streets for the pastthree or four years. He !s a middle-aved man with streaks of gray in his black hair, wears blue goggles, keeps his tace by some secret tonso- rial method of his own im a constant stubby and scrubby bearded condition, has a ragged black coat, once shiny »roadcloth, over bis shoulders. a red woolen comfort around his neck, a dirty looking check shirt whose dirtier cuffs peep from under the sleeves of the coat, patched yellew pants and broken shoes, and surmouuts the whole, when his bead is covered, with a we!l-ven- tilated, dirt and grease spaitered,biack slouch hat. A tin sign ov his breast sinng around his neck bya cord, an nees his infirmity andthe cause of it. It reads: . “HELP A PUOR BLIND MAN. He lost his eyes by an erplosionin a saw-mill at Racine, Wis., in 1867, and has a wife and three little chUldren to support. PITY THE POOR AND HELPLESS.” Avery tender and touching appeal this, that brings many a nickel and dime into the hole-rid- ' dled bat the unfortunate man holds in his lap all day, as he sits in the street bare-headed, careful- ly gathering up the ragged crown of the chapeau to prevent the escape of any of the charitable coins dropped intolt. With his face turned to the blank wall, the whole day long, heeding no noises, turning his bead to notice not even the Wagons that Grive close up behina him, brushing against the curb near which he sat, Keeping his blue and silning hands outin the cold and ailéwing his bair to toss inthe wind, the pitiful figure the » Diind man presented attracted nearly every thira . passer-by, and almost invariably won the sympa- thy and the pennies of those who stood to read the sign, the story upon which was written to very smalland irregular letters of gilt upon a black background.

The Post-DispatTcn reporter followed the blind man to his bome whe night before last. It was afew minutes after7 o'clock, the working classes had all passed to their homes, wisalullin pedestrianism, when a li:tie girl with a basket on ber arm and a blue hood on her head, anda red and black-striped shawl over a light, calico dress came up and ld the blind man away. | The reporter was made up for thé occasion in a ly frayed at the edges, worn at the elbows and knees, and generaliy dilapidated in appearance and texture, asiik cap and a very bum pair of | shors.

This then, the it siood by itself on the high ground, the pearest house on either side being twenty yards away. In less than fifteen minutes after the blind man Was under its roof, the PosT-DISPATCH reporter, in his abject disguise and with as miserable and dir- ty-looking a countenance 45 @ tramp coula justly take pride in, was knocking at the back, or Kitch- en door of te house, “Who'’sthere?” asked a gruff voice within. “Me!’’ the reporter answered with upgrammat- jeal emphasis. “And who are you?” was the next question,just as cri ffly } ut as the first, and, coming this time through the partly open dovr,in the ight of which stood the blind man with his gcggles and rags | sTill on. “A poor young fellow, sick. hungry and bhome- | less.” ssid the reporter in as piteous tones as he could similate. “Get away from here, get awav,” the blind man shouted, opening the doora suming a threatening attitude. The reporter pleaded. “Get away,”’ he continued. “Leave this place, or Ili call a policeman and have you taken away.”’ The reporter still pleaded, ashe atthe same time kept on thinking Low heartless one pauper could be to another—tiie poor man’s inhumanity | to the poor man. Then he added to bis appeals the announcement thathe was possessed of 30 littie food and shelter through the night. kind of vorgies. then aamitted him, accepted the money, 10 cents of which was in copper coin, and gave bimself a sevt by the stove. The room into which the re- porter was ushered was the kitchen, a bright, clean and well furnished place, with shining tins und all the paraphernalia ofa culinary depart- ment plentifuliy displayed on tne walls and shelves. A shaded coal oil lamp on the table shed its light over the room. A _ stout woman in a dark calico wrapper was at the stove preparing the supper. She was Irish. and very fair looking for a woman of about forty. Sve regaraed the reporter suspiciously upon his entrance, but after some minutes of close scrutiny of the little theatric performance the newspaper man was givingon bis own book in the corner near Lhe stove, came to the conclusion that he was all right, and entered into earnest conversa- tion with him. The blind man, who seemed to find his way around the house with remarkable ease, using neither a stick nor his hands to guide him, but eviaently finding his eyes of some ser: vice, sat down at the Klichen table, witn his coat off, and began counting money. Two littie girls, one about nine, the other probably eleven, were in and out of the kitchen,as inclination prompted them. They were comfortably clad and seemed te pe brighter, intellectually, than the orainary run of chilaren of their age. While the reporter was taking an inventory of his surroundings, the pind man, without any assistance from others whose gift of sight might be expecied to belarger and better, kept on counting his money. “PIVE THIRTY-FIVE, MARGARET,” he said at last, sweeping the colo into a heap; “that’s not bad.” “No, indved,” said his wife, turning over a round steak in the frying pan. “Here, put it away.” “In aminute,” the wife responded; and when she had her steak nicely fixed, she took the money in her hand and disappeared into an adja- cent room, Wille the supper table was being laid by the and there | to a substantial two-story | litle wider and as- | | was another red flannel shirt. himself of these articles, the blind man proceeaed past | but that the sister-in-law in some mysterious manner got hold of and was unwilling to give up. The farm, stock, ete., were valued at $18,000. The blind man gave a low whistle; his wife opened her eyes, rounded ber lips and emitted a | verv Interesting ‘‘O-o-o-oh!"’ through the lablial orifice. “y say, Margaret,” the remarked, ‘that’s a good story for Second and Third Street ain’tit. *Twould catch the merchants. If he could only goon *Change and give thema nice litue racket like that, eli? Wouldn't it eoax the coins, eh?” Margaret nodded her head. “T say, young man,” he went on addressing him- self to the reporter, “did you ever beg?” “Only when 1 had to,” the reporter answered, “Weil. my boy,” he said, “‘there’s a fortune for blind to confess I’ve got my doubts aboutit. Ive told too many of theni myself. teliyou. Yvou’llfiad the work easy and you'll have plenty of money. You just turn beegar: you've got a melancholy lookiug | _ jib, and when you leta tear get down to the end | of your nose you're just captivating.” The reporter demurred. *There’s no use being ashamed of it,” the blind man continued, persuasively. “It’s profitable, and nobody you care about need know fou, Be- sides you're a stranger here, I suppose.” The repo:ter replied in the affirmative. “Then you've got nothing in the world to do but do xs I say, and after supper you'd better go dowp town and see bow it will work, to convince yourself that it will pay. I'll tell you what to | do.”’ The blind man here got up from the table, re- moved his goggles, threw off his vest, pulled bis check shirt over his bead, tooWoff a red flannel shirt, andthen removed along shiela-like piece of thick brown Wrapping paper from his body. The paper was cut into two parts, one for the frontand one for the back, and protected the body from the neck down tothe thighs. The re- porter understood the object of these shields, and not Wishing to appear Inquisitive asked no ques- tions. They were meant te keep outthe cold, / and, as everybody knows, nothing is so effectual in doing this as paper. BENEATH THE SHIELDS Having divested to wash himself at the sink in the corner, and while he washed he continued to advise the reporter in the art of street begging. “You just go down along Fourth and Fifth streets, from Eim to Washington avenue, and | tackle every good looking man or boy you meet. cents, which he would willingly exchange for a! Mind, it isn’t always the best dressed who give up This | mollified the beartliess wearer of the | He questioned the reporter for a while; | most liberally. A young workiman going along with acigarin his mouth and probably a warm drink inside of him is often a better subject than arich chap. You go up to himand give him the usual song about a nickel to help get you a bed; if he hesitates, fo.low him up and tell your story —the ove you told us now—dou’t let go your man unless he gets rough and threatens to strike you or have you arrested; then quit him and tackle somebody else. Here let me give you a few poiuters, Never try to get anything out of a the- | ater crowd; they are all in a hurry to get home apd won't stop to listen; besides, they are in groups, and you very seldom get anything out of a gang; sometimes you can work on the sympathy of a very young man with a_ girl, but not always. A crowd coming out of a theater or out of a church is no good for the beggar’s businegs. Neyer go into hotels; detectives will spot you, and the porter will fire you out. Never go into stores, in fact don’t try to leave the street: keep out-doors all the time; if youever dotry indoor begging, take to the saloons—you may sirike a jovial crowd and get a good handful ofsilver out of them. The best time to tackle a man is coming out of a bar-room, cigar store or restaurant; he’s just putting his change back in his pocket, and the chanees are if he has a dime or a nickel inthe pile you’ll get it. Never try to talk to a man in a hurry; always choose the leisured fellows; and if you ever ap- proach @ woman let it be an old and not a young oue; the girls will be afraid of you and run away. There are a dozen other things I might teu you,’ but you willlearn them yourself. One thing, bear in mind, hever get into collision with another street beggar. If one of them comes to you and orders you from his beat. dun’t stop to argue with him, but go somewhere else. Fights of that xind give the busibess away.” The biind man said a great deal more in the same vein, and, when he had washed, the family anid their guest sat down to the table to a supper of steak, cold rabbit, potatoes, biscuit and bread and butter. “To-morrow,” said the biind man, “you can try another scheme: ‘ THE BACK DOOR RACKET. man | Now I'll tell you what | you can do. You can stay bere if you want to pay | the priceana doasI then I'ma nigger. The chances are they’ll give you-a coin. If they give you a ‘hand-out’ throw it away at the first opportunity. You will find, though, thatin three out often houses they will give you a nickel or dime; that’s what you want. Try it on to-morrow, and if you succeed you can stay here long enough to get money to g0 to Colorado. All I'll ask you to put up for board and lodging will be six bits a diy—seventy-five cents.” The blind man looked the picture of health and stremgth,as he sat there eating as heartily as if he bad been rolling barrels on the levee all day long. Mis eyes, bereft of their goggles, looked a little bit watery in the light, but he appeared to see through them all right. A bappier or more comfortably situated blind beggar it was oot pos- sible to imagine. The reporter followed his instructions. He left the house after supper—it was then about 8 .30— rode down town on the front platform of a Market street car, and immediately proceeded to a beat selected for himself on the west side of Fifth, be- tween Pine and Locust. There were two other beggars there, but they did not interfere with the reporter, One of them asked him, how he was making out—that was all—and volunteered the in- formation that he had struck ninety cents during the wight. The first victim selected by the :eporter Was a white-headed and white-bearded gentieman in a long fur-trimmed overcoat, who listened ar- tenuively and gave the reporter a silver dime; then came otbers, young and middie-aged, who contributed nickels and dimes; one young woman of the half-world, who was going along with a messenger boy, gave twenty-five cents in one solid chunk and advised the recipient of her favor to go and buy a big drink and warm up, as it was acold night. In all, between tne hours of 8:45 and 10:30 o’clock, eleven persons opened their pocKket-bouks to the pseudo-beggar—four gave ten cents each, six gave five, and the cemi-mondaine’s quarter made a tetal of ninety-five cents; to this the reporter added a quarier of bis own and went back to the bouse on Eugenia street feeling that he had done a magnificent night's’ work. The blind nan was still up, sitting in the kitchen with a pair of silver-rimmed spectacles on, reading the Post-DisPaTou, for which he ig a reguiar sub- scriber. “How did you do?” shivering reporter tovk aseat by the stove. “One dollar and thirty cents,” the reporter answered through bis chattering teeth. “There, now,” said the ex-blind man, enthus- lastically ; ‘“‘what did I tell you?”’ The reporter replied that he never believed until now that there were such big profits in beg- gary. he asked, as “Oh, indeed there are,” was the answer. “Give | me that money to save for you—all except ten cents—and to-morrow morning go out and try the back dvor racket. You may not do much with it at first, but after awhile you can make it pay.” The reporter handed over $1 20 to the ex-blind man. “There,” said the latter, pointing to the spot, ‘js a cot Marearet has fixed for you; sleep there to-night, until we can arrange something better.” Some talk about the reporter’s alleced family and his exaggerated losses and sufferings fol- lowed, When the old man retired to bed, going up stairs, and the reporter was soon snoring in the cot. ABOUT 8 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING the reporter, after an excellent breakfast of the game eharacter almost as the supper, started out to work the “backdoor racket.” He chose the southern part of the city for his territory. The first place he struck, on Eightn street near Lynch, he got two big huaks of butierless hard bread; the next place, on the same street, near Pesta- lozzi, he gota pretty fair pork sandwich and a glass of milk, but no coin; tne third place on Pes- talozzi near Ninth, he rapped ata back door and the vois® brought a fat black woman to the door; he made his appeal, whieh brought forward a cup of the muddiest-looking coffee mortal eyes ever lit upon, and a plate of potatoes and fish, probably gsh heads. The negress handed them out, and invited the reporter to sit down on ‘de do’ step an’ eat ha’ty.” She closed the door and the re- porter fied, leaving the steaming banquet to cool in the snow. That was enough of the back door racket for hbim. He hurried to his room in the central part of town, threw off jis disguise, and enjoyed himself until nightfall when the disguise was resumed and the blind man’s house in Eugenia street sought out again. “Qnly 30 cents,” said the reporter, sorrowfully, as he entered. “That’s bothing,” said the blind man, who had not veen hore lotig. “It's a good beginning. You’)! do better to-morrow.” The reporter then handed over his change, and. until supper was ready, told his adveutures, in- venting probably a dozen or more to entertain his host and hostess. During sapper the Rost told something about himself by way of encouraging the beginner. ‘This was what the reporter was | brought upon him led him to adopt begging as a profession. MAeleft Buffalo when he had aceu- mulated funds enough to get away, because he was too well known there. He re- moved to Chicago and pursued his calling there until 1879, working both State and Madison streets until 1879, when one of the newspapers exposed him and he was obliged to lie low awhile. He made the business pay during the four or five years he was in Cbi- cago, and now owns two frame buiidings on Twelfth street in that city, near the Wabash Depot, and has a $4,000 mortgageon a Clark street saloon-keeper’s building that brings him in $400 a year. In 1880 he came nere, bought the house on Fucenia streetfor $2.200 and took his Stand on Franklin avenue, near Ninth street, Where be remained until the day after the St. Nicholas fire. Then he moved to Fourth, near Morgan. Since coming here he had bought two lots on Grand avenue and bullt a tenement house in Lowell which ytelas him $60 a month over taxes, renairs, ete. His business yields him $2 to $6 und $7 a day and easily $20 to $50 a week. His elder daughter goes to school, the young one begs victuals, dows the “back door racket,’ not with a view to having the grub used at the bloated beg- gar’s table, but In the hope of cetting money wii the feod. Sometimes the little girl got 40 or 50 ceuts in a dav. Being asked if he wasn’t afraid of the nieghbors or police, he answered no. “We have nothing tu do with the neitghbors;:” saidhe, “don’t Know their names, and | dou’t suppose they know ours. All they can deo is gossip, but so long as they don’t get it tniothe newspapers we don’tcare, The police will not bother us; they never do.”’ After supper the reporter went down to Fifth street and collected 95 ev nts on the same old beat in less than two bours; fourteen people contribu- ted, five giving dimes and pine nickels. This went ito the ex-blind man’s bank. Then the reporter went to sleep in the cot beside the Kitchen stove. He was upearly this murning und hurried to the office, where he scon got to work writing thts articie.

Reflections on the Question as to Who Will Next be “His Bx- cellency.”? A Sketch of a Great Boom Which Met Disaster—Various Facts and Factors That Will Enter Into the Final Con- test. —} It would require a great head to prophesy with any degree of accuracy at this time what will be the result of the coming gubernational fight, the preliminary skirmishes of which are already beginning to attract the altention of non- political: folks all overthe State. The woods are full, however, of six-by-nine prophets who have mistaken a large {gall for an extraordinary growth of brain matter, and the inquiring citizen ean obtain a most profound opinion, which rec- ognizes no such possibility as error, by going no further than the next corner. As a matter of fact, the factors which are to enter into this problem are not ail Known as yet, and an attem pt to solve it at this time is no more rational than would be an attempt to determine the value of x without Knowing the other side of the equation. Somewhere in liistory or scripture there was a hittle boy who kept at the head of his class all week, to the amazement and delight of a large family, who discovered, alter properly rewarding bim, that the balance of the class had been laid up with thecroup at their respective homes during the week in question. The next week he was at the foot. The application is easy. A few weeks ago, for instance, the indications were that the major partof a littie groupof pub- lic spirited gentlemen who had arranged tor lieve the peopie of Missouri of a deal of trouble in the matter of a gubernatorial choice, wére about to be hamstrung by a vicious organization Known and bated as the Law and Order League. After two or three spirited engagements, howev- er. the Luw and Order League was compelled to retire from the fielad with a pair of very biack eyes, and the doctors differ ag to whether it has not sustained a compound fracture of the spine. It was in a comatose state At last account, while the candi- dates for hamstringing were freshened up and more active than ever, being rejoined by their powertu! ally, McChesney, Wie Was the last to ESCAPE FROM A POSITION OF JEOPARDY. In view, therefore, of the uncertain state of the issues, the unorganized condition of the respect- ive armies and the remoteness of the de- ciding struggle there is little encpurage- ment to speculate on results. A few facis bearing upon the present situation, and a brief discussion of a big boom which was origin- aied a year ago, Will be read, however, with in- terest. Last winter at Jefferson City the organization of public guardians to which reference his*al- ready been made was formed. Messrs. McEn- tire, Butler, Hathaway, Turner, Morris and a few others less Knuwn to tame represented the St. Louis end of it. Gov. Criltenden, owing to his friendship for Mr. McEntire, and his aspirations for further political preierment Was counied as.iu ful sympathy with the movement, waile Fine Earr, his private secretary, was luitiated lato full membership, aud promised one of the nicest places on the State tickot. The St. Louis end of the organization had certain things to accomplish in the Legisiature, and were willing to trade off all the oilices on the State tickel for the purpose of accoipplishing them. In the first place, they wanted the felony ciause knocked out of the Jonnson gambling law, so that the boys could ruu without taking any more serious chances than would be involved in going before the Court of Criminal Correction ou a misdemeanor charge. Their solicitude was not, of course, for the boys, but wasfor the wel- fare of the city of St. Louis, the business of which, as Mr. Hathaway dolorousiy related, was becoming absolutely stagnated by the absence of @ gumbling-house MAlispring. Next. the organization aesirea to have a little bill passed which would make a large number of local offices elective that had, upto that time, been appotnlive. Appoiulive offices are not subject to assessinent by the honorary members of the Central Committee, Wich is, IN a measure, em- barrassing. NOT TO SAY EXASPERATING, honorary members. This, how- ever. was not the cousi deration which i: fluenced the gentlemen who wanted the law changed. They were convinced that the interests of the public and of the Demo- cratic party suffered materially by the vesting of such a large appointing power in the hands of the Mayor, especially when the Mayor wasa Repub- lican. Hence, they would not feel easy until these offices were putin the jurisdiction of the City Central Committee, as that would insurea more satisfactory class of office-holders. Again, there was a pool bill they wished to get through that woulda limit the sale of pools to the track where the races occur. Tuiis would, incidentally, give t Mr. Pate and Mr. Ecker a monopoly of the pool business of the ci.y, but while regretting that such would be the result, the philanthropists felt that they must shut their eyes to it, in order that the pool-rooms of St. Louis, which exercised such evil influences on all youtis possessed of quarters or haif-cdollars, might be That isto say ,while gamovling inits green baize form was one of the creat necessities of the busi- pess life of a large city, (See Hathaway on Tiger, 32d Mo. Assembly Reports, pp. x and Z.) yet caimbling in the pool form was a thing to be care- fully restricted to a couple of reliable opera- tors. still again, these friends of the public felt that to the | the police force was not nearly large enough to afford protection to the taxpayers of St. Louis, and hence wanted Mr. Morris’ little bill put through, which would authorize an_ indefi- nite enlargement of the department, an increase of four capiains, and an expenditure of money by the Commissioners without any regard for the This would enable the HAD CONSIDERABLE INFLUENCE | to distrivute a valuabie jot of patronage, and to feel independent of ihe Assembly, whatever its political complexion; but that was no consider- ation, as the main Object was to protect the tax- payers. Finally, Mr. McEntire felt a fair amount of interest in a bill which would compel dealers in coal o1 to pay him nearly $40,000 per annnm, in- stead of $10,000, as beretofore. For this littie budget of legislation the public guardiaus telt that they, as the city’s representa- tives, coule affiord to surrender ail the important places on the next State ticket to gentlemen liv- A slate was accordingly ar- tor Secretary of ination for Governor, Mr. Farr : Railroad Com- Mr. Newman for and other active workers in the cause other good positions, The genticmen from the country who were to be labored faithfully through the session to accommodate their St. | Poe brethren; but designingjpersons in the Legislature and at this end of the line interfered with their plans to such an extent thatthe bills were all defeated, : notwithstanding ; ignuati seting held at | desirable lines of fine and stylish footwear made | } twitistanding an lodiguation meeting tor | Ulrig’s Cave for the purpose of whipping uoplia- bie legislators Into support of the measures Up to that time the Bashaw slate was regarded preity strong, and there were those who that the combination was 80 pow- as to make opposition hopeless. The failure of the bills, however, leit the St, Louis branch of the organization withou: a great deal of the machinery ou which it nad caiculated, and the effect was to render if not only jess capable of redeeming its promises, but less euthusiastic. Nevertheless, after the Legislature adjourned two meetings of the cumbination were heid in St. Louis, which were at- tended® by nearly ail of the gentlemen whose names were on the siate. The 5St.. Louis parties to the arrangement went to work to make the most of the means iu their control, and the Police Depart- ment was manipulated with more care and pur- pose than before. Soon, however, their eager- wess betrayed them, and the newspapers began to REVEAL THEIR OPERATIONS in such &@ manuer as to arouse a popular senti- ment against the combination, and they felt the necessity for conciliating a faction of the party towards whom they held an antipathy which they would have been glad to nurse @ould they have atf- forded it. They experienced no serious trouble until their efforis to remove Faulkner, Who was 4 Repubiiecan, and waom the Governor wished to see displaced, precipitated publications whicu led to Grand Jury investigatious, with what result is already Known. While they were engrossed in this trouble the Governor came down one day and threw them into a panic by his very positive declarations con- cerning the closing of saloons on Sunday, which declarations were calculated to allenate the en- tire saloon and brewing interest, which had, up to that time, beee regarded as favorabie to the com- bination because of the compromise legislation on the prohibition ouestion. This was a desperate piow to the arrangements in behalf of the State.and even a favorable decision on test cases in the Court of Criminal Correction failed to repair the misebief or restore the confidence of the class which hag been estranged.

Weekl CT FRO the slate sustained such a very fracture as to make it very uestionable whether it could be repaired or not. Certain it is, the Bashaw boom went into sucha rapid decline as to immensely encourage other ubernatorial candidates. Pheips suddenly oomed up as a certain winning horse, if he kept the track, but bad health forced his departure to the Pacific slope, and made ita serious question Whether or not he woulda come back and make the race. The authorities differ on that question even yet, although they are agreed that if he does run, it Will take an immensely popular man to defeat him. The persona! friends of the present admin- istration do not favor him. Gen. Marmaduke and Lieut.-Gov. Roberé A. Campbell, seeing the turn eveuts were taking, pushed their cauvags with renewed vigor, feeling that one strong op- povent had been disposed of. Both reside at resentin St. Louis, which, judging from the ate of the city candidates in the past, is to their disadvantage. Mr. Campbell, however, runs asa man from Pike County, the statesmen’s province. Buth have built upa large support, but neither has, as yet, conquered a sufficient territory to in- sure a Victory, even though Gov. Phelps decjines to run. Euough strength is still held Dy the Bashaw party to constitute A BALANCE OF POWER. It can readily be seen that neither Gov. Oamp- bell nor General Marmaduke can fall heir to the Bashaw support, for various reasons. Gov. Campbell has never been regarded with afriendly spirit by the administration—in fuct there has been ail but open war betwen ‘him and Gov. Crittenden. Any combination, there- fore, which Gov, Critteaden controls or influences will p@stow ifs favors elsewhere. Moreover, Gov. Campbell once chased McChesney out of his office. Gen. Marmaduke, ou the other band, was Gov. Crittenden’s opponent tiiree years ago, and the asperities engendered by tuat campaigu and the deposition proceedings wiich followed, nave been but tittle softened by time. Moreover, Gen. Marmaduke is regarded as =having the favor of the Missouri Republican, which, of itself, imsures the opposition of not only the Governor but the St, Louis see- tion of the combination. concerning which he is represented to have expressed himself in terms pui complimentary. As a patter of fact the signs of the times indi- cute that tie friends of lasi winter’s slate are bunting tor a candidate in whose support they Cun Uuite, aud it is not Only possible, vut proba- bie, that Judge Norton, of the Supreme Cvurt, will be cailed upon to make the race. Tue Judge is about to revo from the beuch, and it is well kuown that he is a _ coufidential § friend of Gov. Crittenden, who was called into the consultations at ibe Capitol incident to the ey- clonic period of last fall,-when the Police Board troubles were at their height. He would certain- ly receive all the support the Governor could con- trol, were he to eater the race. A consideration apa:t from all others is the Prohipition party. if that does not make a nom- ination of its own, it will probably throw its en- tire influence in the direction which Gov. Critten- den may indieate, because of his position on the Sunday law question, Wwaich was a very popular pusition everywhere but in St. uis. And where will Senator Vest be meanwhile? There can be no doubt that Senator Vest has a very siroug personal following, aud as be desires to be his owu successor, it will, of course, be im- portant that be shall Lave the favor of the incom- ing admiuistration. His anti-Prohibition caim- aign of 1882 has made the brewing and saloon foteredts unanimous ia his fayor, regardless of all other alllances they may have formed. impossible, therefore, that in his power, if the ty equally divided when tle takes place, to name the next Governor.
