Mr. M. E. Ingalls, the well-known railway magnate, has just made a not- able contribution to the controversy over the proposed reform of the tariff as advocated by the Ways and Means Committee of the House. In a speech delivered on Jackson Day in response to the toast, “The Democratic national platform of 1892,” he discussed the Wil- son bill with singular and significant force, and upon one aspect of that bill he spoke so strongly and with such au- thority that we here reproduce his words for public information: ‘ “You will hear it said that I am inter- ested in coal, and hence that is one of my reasons for objecting to this tariff. I am interested in coal, but only as the president of several railway corpora- tions, 9. large part of whose business is in the transportation of this article. They had upon their pay rolls 25,000 names, and each and every one of these are interested to know why (when the government needs revenues) coal,which has paid a large amount and with injury to no one, should be made free, while the goods which the coal producers use are still taxed. I say we . had 25,000 names, for the depressed business has forced us to discharge one fifth of them, and they have gone to swell the great army of cold and hungry unemployed that fill our streets—the saddest sight there is in the world, men hungry and willing to work for bread, but no work to be had. I am interested, I repeat, ‘ for if this bill passes, with its free coal and free ore, more of these faithful em- ployee will have to go.” Mr. Ingalls is a practical man of af- fairs. He deals with facts and condi- tions, not with theories and doctrines, says the Washington Post. He knows what the actual effect of free coal Will be upon the laboring classes. He does not waste time considering its decora- tive effect in connection with experi- mental statesmanship, but looks at it with sole reference to its place in the equation of events. Mr. Ingalls is at the head of great railroad enterprises which employ thousands of men and up- on whose successful operation a vast multitude of,human beings depend for the every-day necessities of life. He is no brooding doctrinairc, no dreamer of dreams, no visionary lost in glittering abstractions. He is in the forefront of the battle of real things. He deals with living facts and points to vital conclu- sions and results. ' Free coal means the sentimental gratification of a few well meaning the- orists. It means also the bereavement and distress of a hundred thousand American workingmen. It means the crippling of railroads by the score, the over population of the poorhouse, the hospital and the prison, the deepening of industrial stagnation, and the multi- plication of the prevalent misery. Mr. Ingalls knows all this because his part is in the sphere of human action, and he tells us in order that we may be warned in time. .6 Senatorial Duty. “Senator Platt, of Connecticut, says that the Republican Senators should vote forthe confirmation of Mr. Peck- ham. ”—Monday’s Tribune. The above is not quite an accurate statement of what Senator Platt said, as reported in the Tribune’s Washington dispatches of the same date as the above. In the reported interview as given by the Tribune, the Senior Senator from this state is thus reported ; Senator Platt is a member of the Judicmry Commmittee, and he was asked what he thought of the prospect of Mr. Peckham’s confirmation. He replied : “I cannot say. I have not yet made up my own mind how I shall tote. I am trying to find‘_out all I can about Mr. Peckham in order to be able to form a correctJudgment as to his abil- ity and fitness for the office.” “The men who are opposed to the appomtment assert most positively that . "KI. Mr: ‘Peck‘ham' is a‘ ‘crahk‘fi'p'ibjiid’iced man, wholly destitute of the Judicial temperament; while those who favor the appointment are quite as peeitive in their assertions that such is not the case, and that his fitness is equal. to his ability. I believe it is generally ad- mitted that his ability as a lawyer is fully sufficient, and that the only Open, question is as to his fitness.” “ Of course, this is not the only con- sideration urged by some of the men who are opposed to the appointment?” suggested the correspondent. . “By no means, and on that poin there are some things I would like to say. I think it is time for the country to understand that the Senate as a body, is not specially concerned in the considerations to which you have al- luded. That certainly is true, so far as I know of the Republican Senators. It is grossly unjust to say that if they vote for the confirmation of Mr. Peck- ham they are taking the side of the President against Senator Hill, or that if they vote against confirmation they are siding with Senator Hill against the President. So far as I am concerned, the only pertinent questions in this or any other case relate to the fitness and ability of the persons nominated, and I do not intend to be influenced in the least degree by any other considera- tion. It is not for me to investigate or be influenced in my action by the mo- tives that inspired this nomination or that may lead to any other nomination President Cleveland may make. In my judgement opposition to an ap- pointment cannot be justified upon any other than public grounds—the public welfare and the moral and intellectual tness and ability of the man whom it is proposed to appoint. ' N 0, not on the ground of so-called ‘eourtesy.’ If the Administration were Republican and the President should nominate a man from my state to a high judicial office without consulting ‘me, I should very likely feel hurt, but that would not jus- tify me in trying to defeat his appoint- ment unless he lacked ability or was otherwise unfit for the place. “ Now, take this case. The office to which Mr. Peckham has been nomina- ted is of supreme importance. The time may come—indeed, it sometimes seeme to me to be approaching—when the safety, it not the very existence, of our institutions may depend upon thein- tegrily, firmness and wisdom of the Supreme Court of the United States. For my part I cannot consent to the appointment of any man to that tribu- nal who does not possess the highest qualifications, who does not broadly comprehend and thoroughly believe in the principles upon which our Govern- ment rest, or who lacks the ability and courage to defend and enforce them. With this view of my duty you see how impossible it would be for me to take any account of the Democratic party quarrel in the State of New York, or of any political motive of the Presi- dent in making the nomination or of Senator Hill in Opposing it. It will be a sad day for this country when a nom- ination for a high judicial office shall become a football of party factions in the Senate of the United States. Tak- ing the lowest view of the matter, I‘ cannot see what party advantage the Republicans in the Senate could expect to reap from siding with either of the Democratic fact-ions in New York poli- tics.” _._ ~.—--—r~—- < o >~-—-—————— TERSE TALES OF THE TiMES.

Most of them were from ladies, and a large majority of these asked for a lock of his hair. Kentucky elected eight women as county school superintendents at the recent election. One of them is a wid- ow, about forty-five years old, and the mother of fourteen children, seven of whom are under twelve years of ago.

Ladies’ cards are governed by the fol- lowing rules: A married woman in so- ciety, especially with daughters, should always use the prefix “Mrs.” Widows and maiden ladies often prefer to use the simple name without the prefix; fashion dict-ates otherwise. A young lady in society, having passed her first season, should, if the eldest daughter, use simply, for instance, “Miss Both- well. ” If a younger daughter,she should use her Christian name in full. A very stylishly dressed and swell- looking girl entered a prominent library yesterday afternoon and whispered to one of the attendants. "John!” shout- ed the attendant to the shelf boy in a voice which caused all the array of stat- uesque readers in the place to look up from their studies of toxicology, arch- aeology, the intellectual enfranchise- ment of woman, etc., “is that book on etiquette in?” The young lady blushed a pomsetta blush more vivid than the binding of the book as she retired to, one corner to hunt up the proper thing for a girl to say when asked to dance. There is always one spot in the home that is the sacred sanctuary of all the confidences and emotions that are part and parcel of the nature of those who dwell therein. This restful retreat is “Mother’s room,” where the burdens are laid down at the feet of one who is never too tired or too busy to listen to what her children have to say. Can we not all of us remember a cer- tain time in our lives when our hearts were bursting with the first real grief we had ever known? Then, when the wound was deepest, does not memory recall the tender words of loving sym- pathy, uttered in a voice that had not a, single note of reproach or anger to mar its sweet cadence? How we sobbed out our grief at that mother’s knee and how, after a storm of tears, we went forth refreshed by the womanly coun- sel and brightened by the tender en- couragement there received. We can see now every chair as it looked then, the bureau with its fixings, the pictures on the wall, and, above all else, we see the figure of one who made home out of the most}? meagre furnish- ings. . ~- How little we appreciated then the privilege of going into mother’s room and telling her aboutall the perplexing trifles that bothered us, but in later years what a restful sense of security would be ours if only somewhere in the great wide world we could find an- other retreat in which dwells a spirit as tender and loving as the one that made mother’s room the refuge from all the stormy vicissitudes of our child- hood days. - mi.-. _..__‘ o ..._.____ __ USE DANA’S SARSAPARILLA, IT’S “THE KIND THAT CURES.” The S. 8. Reception. One of the most select dances of the season, was given at the Athenaeum Tuesday evening by the members of the S. S. club composed of twelve- yOung lads, representatives of N orwalk’s best families. This being their first venture in this direction naturally great interest was manifested by their parents and many friends. The hall was comfortably filled, as the tickets were limited to fifty to pre- vent over crowding, and promptly at eight o’clock dancing commenced and lasted until after midnight, to the de- lightful strains of -Weidenhammar’s best music. The programme consisted of eighteen numbers, many of which were encored. The hall was beautifully decorated by florist Hanford with palms, and the pillars were entwined with smilax. Over the stage and at the rear of the hall in the club’s colors of white and red were the letters S. S. from which was draped the Nation’s beautiful flag. Concealed behind the palms was the orchestra. The members of the club were boutomu‘ercs of red and white car- nations fastened with their club pins. Refreshments were served during the evening by DeKlyn, who excelled him- self in his efforts to please the club. Among the many parents and friends present we noticed Mr. and Mrs. Rob- ert Van Buren, Dr. and Mrs. J. G. Gregory, Rev. Mr.‘ and Mrs. S. H. Watkins, Mrs. F. St. John Lockwood, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Leonard, Mr. and Mrs. G. R. Byington, Dr. and Mrs. C. W. Many, Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Adams, Mr and Mrs. L. C. Betts, Mrs. G. W.
