Whither Are We Drifting?
Last February Hon. T. B. Reed made
a speech at the Academy of Music
in Philadelphia before one of the larg-
est audiences ever gathered within the
walls of that historic building, in which
he attacked the Wilson tariff bill as an
engine of hate directed at the indus—
tries and people of the North, and
wound up his remarks with an extract
from the inaugural of the immortal
Lincoln in 1801, in which he appealed
to the South to halt in their threaten-
ing march against the country, and
then in the most dramatic manner said
where Lincoln failed we cannot hope to
succeed.
His remarks made a profound im-
pression at the time, but were passed
by as an extravagant outburst of an
earnest man.
In the recent carefully prepared re-
marks of Hon. D. B. Hill in the Son-
ate, after a somewhat similar denuncia-
tion of the Wilson bill, and the income
tax in particular, he said, turning to
the South, “Remember 1800 and the
ultra demands made upon us which led
to division and defeat, and all the inci-
dents of those terrible years from 1800
to 188-1, and know that the remarkable
demands now being made mean the loss
of the next House, the Senate, and the
probable loss of every Northern elec-
toral vote.”
Senator Smith, after an elaborate on.
slaught upon the bill, especially the
income tax, which he pronounced “an
infamous proposition,” said he regard-
ed the situation as the gravest which
has confronted the Democratic party
since the days of James Buchanan,
and after charging that the South was
engaged in a sectional raid upon the
North, he said : “Is extinction of the
party in the North the penalty we Dem-
ocrats must pay for extending aid and
sympathy to you of the South ‘9” and
closed his speech with the prayer that
if his advice was unheeded “God save
lhc Democratic party.”
The New York Evening Post, which
has always been considered the Special
organ of the President, says the action
of the Democratic party in Congress
in loading up with the income tax will
end in the return 'to power of the Re-
publican party fora long term of years.
Other Democratic papers are follow-
ing in the same vein, yet- no halt is
made and. no sign of‘the situation be
ing understood by the leaders who are
running the machine, but the end may
not be far 011', for the New York Sun
says that the entire twenty-nine mem-
bers of Congress that have been con-
tributed by the states of New York
and New Jersey are in great danger of
being swept away this fall and their
places filled by twentymine Republi-
cans. -

His Memory Kept Green.
The sixth anniversary of the Lancas-
terian school association was held in
New Haven Monday. _ ' .
It was also the ninety-ninth birthday
anniversary of John E. Lovell, the
much-loved principal of the Lovell
school, whose memory still lingers with
many prominent men of that city and
of the country. _
At the last meeting of the association
a committee was appointed to erect a
suitable monument to mark the grave
of the old teacher in Magnolia avenue,
Grove street cemetery. The committee
finished its work, and at 4 o’clock,
about one hundred members of the
association, and many ladies who were
also pupils of the old Lancasterian
school, met in Warner hall, and pro-
ceeded to the cemetery where the hand-
some granite shaft was dedicated and
decorated. Ex~Governor Henry . B.
Harrison, President of the association,
presided, and George P. Webster, of
New York, delivered an interesting
reminiscent account of the scenes of
the childhood of those who listened.
He paid a glowing tribute to the mem-
ory of the man whom his hearers had
assembled to honor, and his great life
work. ‘
The record shows that there are
about 2,000 graduates of the school now
living, and these are scattered through-
out the Union. The association has
200 members.
The following officers were elected:
President, Henry B. Harrison; Vice
Presidents, George E. Day, E. E. Brad-
ley and R. M. Everitt; secretary, W.
W. White; treasurer, Henry W. Mans-
field; executivc committee. James Eng-
lish, Wooster A. Ensign, A. 0. Lines,
G. C. Merriman, John Lovell Smith,
Edward C. Beecher, S. H. Kirby, Sam.
uel Daskam and Samuel E. Barnes. '
The association next enjoyed a ban-
quet. President Harrison presided,
and the different members responded
informally, to calls for addresses.
Taxes on Oyster Ground.
Taxes on oyster grounds are due
May 1 and Clerk Frederick Botsford of
the shell fish commission has sent out
bills to owners. There are 00,051 acres
of oyster grounds assessed this year
against 08,080 acres for 1808, an increase
of 008 acres.
The income from taxes on oyster
$8,000. This land varies in value as
rated by the commission, from $1 to
$340 an acre, and this is taxed at the
rate of 1 per cent.
The grower paying the largest
amount of taxes is Henry J. Lewis of
Strut-ford, but this dues not mean that
Lewis has the most acreage. The 10
growers having the largest number of
acres of oyster grounds are the follow
ing named: Henry C. Rowe, New
Haven, 7,839 ; Henry J. Lewis. Bridge-
port, 7,470 ; J. Smith & Son, New Ha-
ven, 2,572; Williang. Stevens, Nor-
walk, 2.050; Craw it L’Hommedieu,
Son, 1,011; Lancraft Bros, New He-
ven, 1,538; M. E. Morris, Bridgeport,
1,319; W. H. Hoyt 8: Son, 890; Mans-
field .t: Son, New Haven, 858 acres.
The income to the commission from
licensing boats to work on the natural
oyster beds amounted to $540. There
were 1911 boats licensed. This is less
than one-half the usual number that
are employed in harvestingJ oysters
from the natural beds when t 0 supply
is good but the storms of last year
made it so unprofitable that but few
attempted to harvest on the natural
grounds.
This year, however, it is expected
that the commission will receive fully
81,000 from this source. The entire
revenue to the state will be between
$10,000 and $12,000, which will include
the sale of oyster grounds. The ex-
penses of the commission average about
$54,000 a year, thus leaving a net bal-
ance of 88.000 to be turned over to the
state.

mittees were appointed as follows 2 on

cises; school children; literary excr-

pneumonia and Bright’s disease. He came
to Coronado four days ago direct from
New York with his wife and daughter.
His condition had become so serious on
his arrival that all the members of his
family were telegraphed for, but he died
before their arrival.
Jesse Seligman was born in a little vil-
logo of Bavaria in 1827. His parents were
poor. Three elder brothers preceded him
to America. On landing here he went with
them to Alabama, where each started a
dry goods store in a. different town. Mr.
Seligman was then only 15 years old.
Seven years later, he came north and
opened a. dry goods store with his brother
Henry at \Vatertown, N. Y. .
The gold fever seized him in 1850, and he
went to San Francisco. He did not go to
dig for the yellow metal, however, but to
establish a mercantile trade that should
bring it to him. His success was great.
Mob rule prevailed in California, and Mr.
Seligman became a member of the vigi-
lance committee. lle was subsequently a
member of the famous committee of 40
which undertook to put the afl’airs of San
Francisco in the hands of men who would
conduct them in the interest of the citi-
zens, and not of the political freebootcrs.
The purpose was accomplished. .
He came to New York in 1857, and in
48033 the banking house of J. \V. Selignian
& 00., now known throughout the world,
was established. lie was a stench Union
man throughout the war. His house was
the first to place United States bonds
abroad. Mr. Seligman was a Republican
since the formation of the party and was
always active in its affairs.
His charities were innumerable. The
Hebrew Orphan asylum, which he found-
ed 30 years ago, and of which he is presi—
dent, will be an enduring monument to
his name.
. ABINGDON VIC-TIhIIZED?
Hopkins Says the Squire \Vas Thrown Down
by Mitchell and Hall.
Kaxsas Ci'l‘i', April 2-1.-—“Colonel” Hop-
kins, theatrical manager and backer of
pugilists, gives to a local paper a. sensa-
tional interview about the FitzsimmonsL
Hall fight at New Orleans. According to
him, Hall was paid to get knocked out,
and Charley Mitchell, who was aware of
the scheme, made a pot of gold out of it,
while Mitchell’s friend, Squire Abingdon,
was victimized. This is how Hopkins tells
it:
“Abingdon first. gave Mitchell $20,000 to
place on Hall. Mitchell placed it on Fitz.
This was done because U’Mullcy of the
Athletic club gave hall a tip that the club
would not be able to make good the purse,
and llall accepted $45,000 for his pay, win
or lose, before the light came oli‘. Hall
and Tede Bailey, who was .‘iliiiigdon’s
secretary, planned the coup to uail'tlie
$20,000. Mitchell worked Abingdon for
another 5,510,000 to put on Hall, which he
also put in his own pocket. llzill then
chell, Bailey and Hall divided the money
for which Aliiiigdonliad been given the
‘double cross." ” Hopkins says Fitzsim-
inons knew nothing about the deal.
