office of our efiicient Mr. Henry K. Selleck .
Trotter was confirmed, however, though
bitterly opposed by about every resident
here, without distinction of color, creed
or party. The reasons are said to be that
he was a man of fair abilities, good char-
acter, and had a good record as a soldier
in the Union army. 7 An equally, if not
stronger motive, no doubt, was found in
the belief that the President had attempt-
ed a sharp trick of very low cunning and,
being so sure of the Senate's refusing to
confirm him, had had him made deputy
recorder, which requires no confirmation,
and when Matthews had departed Trotter
ould, by this undignified subterfuge,
hold the ofice anyway and pocket the
emoluments, while the act of rejection
would be used with the colored voters of
the country to prove the democratic love
of_tbe negro. A few extracts from demo-
cratic papers here will give an idea of the
feeling the President has stirred up, even
among his own political friends :-—

The Star says: “The people of Wash-
ington desire to express to the people of
the United States the surprise and indig-
nation which the Trotter appointment in-
pires. The appointment of Matthews
may have been only a blunder; the ap-
pointment of Trotter indicating a deliber-
ate persistence in an undemocratic and
un-Americau line of conduct is scarcely
less than a political crime. The people of
this District have no votes. Here a dem-
ocratic President may safely foster un-
democratic carpet-bag rule, here a civil
service reform President may safely treat
the offices as political spoils, here the
executive exponent of better methods may
safely resort to attempted race bribery.
This appointment is an insult and a slap
in the faceto every District citizen, vio.
lating pledges and ignoring natural rights.
It is a double insult to every. District
democrat, no one of whom, it seems, is fit
to be recorder, or fact compelling the
President to import a negro barber from
Boston to fill the ofiice. It is a triple in-

EDITORIAL LETTER.
Wasnme'rox, March 8, 1887.
Dana Gazar'ra :—Just two years ago at
high noon on the fourth of March, the
Cleveland administration was inaugurated
into power. It was supported by a House
of Representatives with a large demo-
cratic majority, thanks to the bulldozing
and murderous system of carrying all
elections for the democracy throughout
the reconstructed south. Never had there
been ushered into power a party so blat-
ant as to the “reforms” (?) it was going to
work. The toot-horns and gongs of the
democratic party filled the air with dis-
cordant din over the “reform," the “re-
ductiou of war taxes,”and the “economy”
this exultant and powerful party was go-
ing to inaugurate now,;that after twenty-
five years that it had been deposed from
power, it was once again in the ascend-
ency in the nation’s House of Representa-
tives. and in all the executive departments.
Yet never in all the history of this country
has so “lame and impotent." and so dis-
graceful a conclusion of all these boasted
promises been wrtnessed as in this expired
49th congsess. Never has any political
party since the organization of this gov.
crument so conspicuously shown its utter
incompetency to govern the nation. Di-
vided among itself; warring with its presi-
dent, and united only in the one supreme
lust for the spoils of office, the last House
has adjourned loaded down with the
derision, the scorn and contempt of the
honest and patriotic American people

 

i

m

Not one of its pledges and promises has it
kept. Not one in a dozen of the most
imperative and patriotic measures before
it for enactment has it passed into laws,
and at the end allowed its leaders to so
manipulate legislation as to ensure the
defeat of the most necessitous appropri-
ationsfor carrying on the government. At
high noon of Friday last it stampedcd
leaving the judgments Of the supreme
court, the protection of our sea coast, the
repair of our navy, the improvement of
our rivers and harbors, not a dollar for
the new Congressional Library Building,
not a dollar to continue the Potomac fiats
improvement, leaving the millions already
expended to the chance of destruction
from the first freshet; not a dollar to com-
plete the much needed city water works
improvement, though nearly finished after
three years of vigorous work; not a dollar-
for American heavy guns; not a dollar for
the Arlington bridge, which, in addition
to its great need, was to be made a mem-
orial to Lincoln and Grant; not even the
medal is provided for the coming national
drill to be held herein May; not a dollar
to meet the settled awards made to
maimed and destitute soldiers of the late
war at the second auditor’s oflice, whose
cases were made “special” because of the
destitution of the soldier to whom in the
aggregate of these awards nearly three-
quarters of a million of dollars were due.
not as pensions, but for pay proper and
bounties never yet paid them; not a dol.
lar to pay the thousand and one claims of
honest and suffering claimants; and last,
though not least, not a dollar to pay the
last month’s salaries of the poor laborers
about the capitol, and even the little boy
pages who served the great nation’s legis-
lators. Did ever dispicable inanity and
meanness reach such depths in any legis-
lative body. All this and more was
caused by the deliberate purpose of three
men in the House (Messrs. Carlisle, Rau-
dall and Holman) to defeat legislation by
holding back the regular appropriation
bills to the last moment possible for their
passage before adjournment, and the gen-
crai deficeucy bill, until too late for action
on it in the Senate. Ssuator Hoar, in an
eloquent burst of indignation, thus ex-
pressed himself in regard to this unpatri-
otie and revolutionary conduct :—

Ml'. Hoar said he desired to call atten-
tion to what seemed to him an evil which
threatened to revolutionize the constitu-
tional methods of the government. The
cfiect of holding back the appropriation
bills until the last days of congress was
that unless the House and Senate sub-
mitted to the dictation of three or four
members of the majority of the House of
Representatives, the great appropriation
bills failed, or an extra session became
necessary. A rule of the House required
that every one of the appropriation bils
should be reported thirty days before ad-
journment. Not only was congress com-
pelled to submit under penalty of an extra
session, but it throws out of the House
consideration of all other important;mens-
area not controlled by the committee on
appropriations. Bills matured by able
men on the other side of the chamber had
been passed with substantial unanimity
by the Senate, and yet they could not get
consideration in the other house because
three or four members opposed them,
although nine-tenths of the members
favored them. In the time of our fore.
fathers such a condition of things would
have caused a revolution. Who does not
know that measure after measure which
has received substantially unanimous
approval in the Senate, and which would
receive substantially unanimous approval
in the House, are not permitted to be
taken up because the appropriation bills
are used to keep them out because three or
four members disapprove them. At any
time within the past twenty years such an
assumption of powerwould have created
a storm which would have driven the
usurper out of his seat, or would have
created a revolution in the government
itself. Under the constitution a majority
of the representatives have the right to
make and change laws, subject to the
veto of the Executive, but here is a claim
advanced overthrowing the constitutional
power of the Senate and House. and dc-
grading every membcr of the House,
which ought to be the most dignified legis-
lative body on earth. Under the existing
order of things legislation cannot be en-
acted if two or three members refuse to
give it their approbation.

There has not come before the American
people since the close of the war a ques-
tion which involves such grave constitu-
tional results as the question as to whether
IIIIS usurpation of power shall be allowed
to go on. It is new and unheard of until
lately. Henry Clay with his strong will
would no more have dared to assert such
authority when he was speaker than he
would have tried to cross Niagara river
twenty rods above the falls.

Continuing, Mr. Hoar said that many of
the members had served under Mr. Blaine
when he was speaker, and the liumblest
was permitted every Monday to move to
suspend the rules, and by all sorts of con-
trivauces the democrats used to put the
republicans on record on questions to
which they thought they would not like
to commit themselves. But whoever
heard of Mr. Blaine informing a member
that it was not expedient to have a measure
passed at a session of congress, when he

suit to,the colored democrats in the Dis-

trict, who are snubbed personal] . politi-

cally and as citizens. If the resident
had been sincere in his expressed desire
to have the office held by a negro, he
would have appointed a resident_colored
man."

The O’n'tio says: “The President for
reasons best known to himself, has seen
fit to make another District appointment
which will be as thoroughly distasteful to
the people of Washington as was that of
Mr. Matthews. It is passing strange that
with all the knowledge which he must
have by this time relative to the eculiar-
ly local character of the office of ecorder
Of Deeds, and the universal sentiment of
our citizens that it should be filled by one
of their own number, Mr. Cleveland
should still~persist in contemptuous dis-
regard of the popular wish. The Presi-
dent appears to have concluded that one
insult to the District deserves another.”

The President's organ, the Post, musters
the courage to say:

“In the statement about Mr. Trotter,
iveu to the press by authority of the
resident is the following:

He was strongly recommended by the citi-
zens and press of Hyde Park, HEEL, where he
resides, for the position of postmaster of that
lace, and is generally regarded by those who
now him as a man of high character and
marked ability.

Why in the name of justice, home rule,
fair play and the eterna fitness of things,
didn’t the President make Mr. Trotter
postmaster of Hyde Park, Mass, where
he was strongly recommended by the citi-
zens and the press?”

Mr. Ingalls, as chairman of the commit-
tee that had acted upon and reported the
nomination, spoke briefly against the con-
firmation. Mr. Blackburn also urged the
rejection of Mr. Trotter. Messrs. Ingalls
and Blackburn maintained that the ap-
pointment was an insult to the people of
the district, and that it was an attempt, in
in vrew of its recent actlan. to coerce the
Senate. The people of the District were
entitled to protection from an appoint.
ment so repugnant to them.

A sannuana.

Auent the Trotter excitement, the Critic
gives this itom :—

“A number of indignant citizens hired
a band last night and about 11 o'clock
passed up and down the Avenue in front
of the President’s house. playing the popu-
lar air, ‘There‘s a New Coon in Town.‘
There was no response from the Mansion,
but the fact that the band made noise
enough to be heard half-way down to Fort
Monroe is competent evidence that the
music was not entirely lost upon the car
for which it was intended.

The musicians entered into the spirit of
the affair, and the music re~echoed for
blocks around until the air seemed laden
with ‘A New Coon in Tawn.t '

'Back and forth, in front of the White
House they marched for nearly half an
hour; when they started down the ave-
nue. '

run REASON.

So behind. hand and “muddled up” has
the work become in most of the depart-
ments in consequence of the discharge of
hundreds and thousands of competent and
experienced men and women clerks, that
it amounts to a public scandal. Senator
Cockerel,confederate democrat though he
be, got a resolution through authorizing a
committee of Senators to sit during the re-
cess and examine into and report at the
next scssiou,the cause and remedy of this
evil. It will be amusing to await the in:
genious methods the democratic members
of that committee will resort to to disguise
the truth whenever the report is made.
When experience, fidelity and capacity
are hustled out of a department to make
room for greed, ignorance and incapacity,
the result is called “reform."

Senator Platt’s Committee to investigate
the alleged frauds in Indian tradership
appointments, &c., will sit during the re-
cess and go to Indian country to examine
witnesses.

As Ever, B.
How Think! Have Changed.
The Stepney correspondent of the New-
town Bea gives the following interesting
reminiscence :— .
The career of Julius B. Hawley illus-
trates the possibilities of a life time, as
well as the rapid changes going on in the
world of invention and the means of trav-
el, changes which have revolutionized
town and country,our methods of thought
and manner of living. July 1, 1839, Mr.
Hawley went to work with the civil en-
ineers then laying out and building the
Ilensatonic road from Bridgeport to New
Milford. It was the first railroad for this
section and was as great a curiosity then
as an air ship would be 10-day. New
Year's day, 1840, the rails were laid as far
as Stepney Depot, and an engine first ran
to that point with material for the con-
struction of the road further north. The
14th of February, 1840, only 47 years ago,
the line was finished to New Milford and
a free excursion train was started from
there for Bridgeport, for such as were
daring enough to try the new method of
travel. It proved a serious trip for some
of the passengers, for the engine was
switched off at Bridgeport and the cars
ran down to the steamboat dock, where

party strife after precedence, however, is
akin to the German character which
would degenerate by want of this
characterizing discontent. The Ger-
mans, in consequence, need as it were, a
stimulus, a directing initiative elevated
above the partyism, and therefore this is
no reason, why Germany will not rise
“as one man” and fight with the same
enthusiasm as in 1870. when a new and
warlike French government, in order
to protect its influence, should drive the
people, under the pretext of revenge for
1870. intoa devastating war. The very
interesting and instructive debates of the
Reichstag in January last showed that all
parties, Liberals, Conservatives. Progres.
sionists, etc.. and even Socialists will give
up their strife for domination and stand
for the maintaining and defence of the
German empire, should the war break
out. As for the increased poverty of the
German 'people, the statistics show that

“It in misrepresentation and an audacious
lie to speak of an increasing poverty in
Germany.” Not regarding the richer
classes, who place their money in home
and foreign securities (for instance about
4,000,0(l),000 marks in Russian state
papers) there are at present 2,800,000,000
marks in the German savings banks.
showing an increase of 975,000,000
markl within the last eight years,
and as laborers, peasants and trades-
men are the only depositors of the
savings bank, it is evident, that the coun-
try has hecOme richer. The emigration
also, as statistics prove, decreased in the
last years, and the fact, that the German
population since 1870 increased about
9000.000, is the best proof that Mr.
Kilmer’s assertion on this point is of little
consequence. Mr. Kilmer, in fact, has

collision breaking some legs and other-
wise injuring a number on board. But
what a road it was. Awooden track with
a strap rail spiked onto it, , the spikes
working up with the rain and frost, so
that it was often necessary to stop the
engine and send a man ahead to fasten
down the rail before the train could pro-
ceed. Not much chance for speed with
sucha track. The engines were 10.10!)
alfairs, without cow-catcher, with no cab
to protect the engineer and firemen from
the weather and without a Whistle. The
engineer and firemen faced the weather in
sailor's rig when it stormed, and buttoned
on as many overcoats as possible in win-
ter. Wood was the fuel used, so that it
required two firemen, ode a wood-passer
and the other to feed the fire, and Mr.
Hawley and Hank Kimball were the fire-
men on that first train run down the
the Housatonic from New Milford ; both
are living 10-day. Mr. Hawley continued
on the Housatonic till 1847, the road being
gradua ly extended north until it made
connections for Albany, via State Line.
The trains at first ran down from New
Milford in, the morning and back at night
a mixed train like the NewMilford special
of to-day. The trip consumed two and a
half hours, passengers being taken down
to connect with the steamboat for New
York, and the train waiting for the boat’s
return from New York at night. There
was no railroad from Bridgeport to New
York then. Mr. Hawley worked with the
engineers constructing theNew York and
New Haven road and, December 28. 1848,
ran the first engine from Bridgeport to
New York. The line was not entirely
finished, so they had to wait until West-
port draw was got Into position and, ar-
riving at Harlem junction, found that the
connecting rails were not yet laid. The
engine was run back to New Rochelle for
the night. as the depot there covered the
track and protected it, and the party put
up at a hotel. Next day. December 27,
the engine was run into New York, the
Harlem connection being complete. De-
cember 28, 1848, Mr. Hawley had the hou-
or of running the first train out of New
York for New Haven. He was an en-
gineer now, John W. Clark, his wife’s
brother, acting as his fireman. Abel W.
Hawley, his own brother, started another
train the same day from New Haven for
New York; Abel died about a year ago.
Mr. Hawley’s fitness soon secured him the

ork road, after which he was employed
six years in building the Illinois Central,
then on the Dubuque and Sioux City line.

train of the company. For a time he was
conductor of a train from Stamford, the
home Of James H. Hoyt, then superin-
tendent of the road, and was more or less
under the personal observation of that
gentleman, who was not slow in appre-
ciating Mr. Scliofield’s abilities as a rail-
road man. It was by running as conduc-
tor hetwcen Stamford and New York that
Mr. Schofield made much of his reputa-
tion. He had a great deal of personal
magnetism and was a favorite of all trav-
elers; .

After serving as above related, he was
appointed conductor on a through train
from New York to New Haven, and was
promoted to be depot master, nights, at

experience of any of the road.

The Capital ity has been “all torn up"
the past week. because of the President's
second attempt to pay a political debt by
bringing hither another colored man to
fill the office of recorder of deeds, which
is a purely local office, and the munificient
income, now amounting to nearly $100
per day, is paid by citizens of the district
whose deeds and wills are left for record.
There is no part. issue or division so far
as the Washington papers or people are
concerned. They say, and justly, that if
the President desires to capture the
colored vote let him appoint his negro
brother to some national office. But to
import any man here from abroad to hold
an ofiicc of the city purely, is as indecor-
ous as to send a resident of Washington
to any one of the states to hold an office
in town or city of purely local nature.
It is all wrong to allow the selection of
this officer to be made by the President,
and the law will, no doubt, be changed.

without regard of the real state 'of things,
and therefore he may be excused as he
only “passed some time” in Germany “on
the eve of the Franco-Prussian (ll)
[Franco-German] war.” The German
soldiery is made up of peasants, (Mr.
Kilmer says) while the French is consti-
tuted of citizens. Aside from its being a
strange one, as the peasant is a citizen
also, that assertion shows his misunder-
standing about the condition of the Ger-
man army. Every German, without
regard to profession or social standing,
must join the army for three years and in
case of war “the schoolmaster" by the side
of “the peasant" will protect “Alsace and
the old provinces" not of France, as Mr.
Kilmer believes but of Germany, once
insidiously occupied by Louis XIV and
regained tlirou gh the united forces of all
Germany. F. Conny, Ph. D.

Prince Bismarck is right, when he says: ~

Lucy White of Foreslville, were returning
_from Bristol, the horse, frightened by a
lantern, shied to one side of the road, and
went over an embankment into a river,
dragging the buggy and occupants after
him. Mr. Reynolds succeeded in getting
ashore with his wife. Miss White clung
to the buggy, and when Mr. Reynolds
turned his attention to her the horse was
wading up steam with the young lady in
the vehicle shouting loudly for help.
The horse was getting into deep water
when he was overtaken and led to the
shore.

The Bridgeport town agent has de-
clined to make public the names of deal.
ers who have been found selling watered
or ad ulterated milk. He says it is because
mostof them were innocent in the matter,
the blame resting with the farmers who
supplied the milk. He added: “It seems
that the average grocer should have in-
telligence to know whether the milk he is
getting even approximates to a condition
of purity, but the trouble is that the re-
tail dealer is careless and takes it for
granted that the article he buys in all
right. The fact that certain sets of sam-
ples showed precisely the same standard
of deficiency, and that the several groups
marked by this similarity could be traced
back to one person or another, affords us
a valuable clue in tracing the adultcratiou
to its source." Prosecutions are ex-
pectcd.
