EDITORIAL LETTER.-
WasmNorox, April 80, 1888.
DEAR GAZETTE :-—,The weary debate on
the Mills’ free trade bill, has dragged its
wearylength along all thepast week in the
House, despite the fact that all members
know it can never pass and become a law.
Yet it is permitted to .usurp the time need-
ed to enable the House to pass its urgent
appropriation bills and other needed leg—
islation. It was only on Saturday' that
the United States Court in Virginia had to
close because there was no money left to
pay for marshal and witness fees and
other necessary expenses of - the court.
The friends of the River and Harbor bill
are getting alarmed because of the time
wasted on this useless “tariff reform” de—
bate. The Presidential nominating con-
vcntions are now but a little way off and
as soon as the respective candidates are
named, good -bye to any certain enactment
of needed legislation. Congress will be
in its usual snarl, consequent upon both
parties trying to put in all the effective
work possible in aid of their respectively
preferred candidates. But the debate
thus far has shown that the Democratic
party deems itself committed to the free
trade issue as positively and unfiinchingly
as the Republicans are to protection.
Mr. Mills, of Texas, opened the debate
with one of the regulation free trade
speeches, with all the stale assertions that
our tariff was only a heavy tax upon the_
consumer, that our laboring people would
be better off with low wages, because
what they bought would cost them‘less’
and the like. He was followed next day
by Mr. Burrows, of Michigan, who will
be remembered by the Gamma readers
as having made a very eloquent and power-
fnl address-'at'Music Hall, South Norwalk,
during the Blaine and Cleveland cam-
paign. His speech on the Mills‘ bill was
clear, logical, eloquent and powerful,
probably the nrost so,in to the present
date. . 7 .

Senator Ingalls created no little ripple
of interest and excitement on Thursday
last, when he invited Gen. Hawley to the
chair, and from the floor ruadc the follow-
ing announcement :
Mr. President, shortly alter Senator
from Indiana [Mn Voorheesj began his
speech yesterday I was called from the
Senate to examine and sign a large num-
ber of enrolled bills for transmission to
the President of the United States. I had
supposed from the notice he gave that his
speech was to be devoted to the subject of
the tariff and finance; and I Was, there-
fore, somewhat surprised this morning to
be advised by an item in the newspapers
that I had been the object of the Senator’s
:mimadversion. .
A casual examination of his speech ap-
pcared to me to disclose certain omissions
on his part in reference to the relation of
the Democratic party to the subjectIOf
pensions, to the war for the preservation
of the Union, to the reconstruction of the
Southern States. to the solid South, to the
recent election in Louisiana, and to the
issues and' results of the approaching
campaign, which seem to me to justify
some observations of mine in reply. .
I therefore desire to give notice that on
Tuesday next, at 2 ’clock, if the Senate
will indulge me, I shall move to proceed
to the consideration of the resolution of
the Senator from Ohio [ML Sherman] for
the purpose of enabling me to submit
some remarks thereon. .
The galleries of the Senate will be as
packed and jammed to-morrow as Bar-
num’s circus will be on the , next day for
Mr. Ingalls wields the keenest blade of
any man now in the Senate, and by the
time he is through with his Brother Voor-
lrees, it is probable that the Indiana Sena-
tor will feel somewhat as poor Artemus
Ward did when he reflectingly announced
that it Would have been money in his
pocket had he never been- born. If we
mistake not, the disloyal elements of the
Democratic party in general, and the tin-

will get a very uncomfortable airing on
the morrow.
scream: occur.
The air is full of rumors as to what the
President will and will not do, in regard
to the vacant Chief J rrstiecship. There is
not much doubt but that the President
had about determined to appoint Minister
Phelps to the position. Mr. Phelps is a
man after the President’s own heart. He,
in his tastes, like Mr. Cleveland, is a high.
toned and aristocratic man of the bluest
blood, who has neither love nor sympathy
for the "rag-tag and bob-tail" of his party.
But as soon as it got whispered about that
he thought of selecting Mr. Phelps, the-
party leaders made a drive at him and told
him flatly he must not do it. Prominent
members of the Tammany and County
Democracy organizations came rushing
down here upon him and assured him that
he would lose all the Irish vote and thus
the state of New York, if he dared do so
impolitic :1 thing. That Phelps was (Icem-
ed by the Irish voters of‘thc country to be
in league with Great Brilain~ against the
Irish [cause and Ireland and it would
be certain destruction to place him upon
the Supreme Court. bench. This it is said
has badly staggered the President and
sadly disurrnugerl his plans. The logic of
this fresh hostility to Minister Phelps is
not apparent. The President has appoint-
, 'cd him as our Minister to the Court of
England and be is in a position to injure
the Irish cause. us such minister fortyfcdd
more than he could as Chief Justice. Now
it is said the President favors Secretary
Bayard’s g0i:g on to the Supreme Court
bench, the promotion of Justice Field to
be Chief Justice and Minister Phelps to
lake Mr. Bayard’s place as Chief of the
Diplomatic Bureau. , Here again, by such
an arrangement My; Phelps could find un-
limited opporluuily to help England and
hurt Ireland, if lie so desired. Ilc proba-
bly docs desire nothing more than that no
Irishman will get in his moonshine or
brushagainst his aristocratic legs. Another
rumor is that Senator Gray, who succeeded
MI . Bayard in the Senate, will be given
the Supreme Court place and Mr. Bayard
thus given a chance to return to his old
place in the Senate, which arrangement,
undoubtedly, would be most agreeable to
the taste of both these gentlemen. Still
another story is that Secretary of War
Endicott will be given the English mission.
but this runior grows out of the fact, no
doubt, that his daughter is soon to wed
Lord Chamberlain, of London, who at-
tempted the Canadian Fisheries Treaty.-
About the only thing at -all certain. or ap
proved by common sense, in regard to all
these rumors, is the one fact that the Pres-
ident does not really know what would be
best to do, brrt that Ire must do something
without mtrch further delay.
The great ability of Mr. Phelps seems
to be conceded on all sides and he has been
V quite a lion on the floor of both horrses of
Congress while here. Last week, in behalf
of Secretary Bayard, whose guestvlic is,hc
appeared before the House Committee on
Appropriations in his ofileial capacity as
the representative of the United States to
the Court of St. James, and made an able
and earnest argument in favor of the ap-
propriation recommended by the Secretary
of State to defray the expenses of locating
the international boundary line between
the British possessions and the' Territory
of Alaska. Mr. Phelps urged that the
present was a most appropriate time to ap-
poiuta committee to conduct this work.
The British government was ready to send
outacommission as soon as the United
Stated should signify its willingness. to do
likewise, and Mr. Phelps said that it would
be better to seize the orportunity now than
to wait until the territory should be more
settled and more frilly developed. If the
line of demarkation were not settled be-.
fore Alaska increased in value in the eyes
of the world,.an attempt to draw it then
would perhaps lead to serious inter-national
complications.
PENSIONS. _
The House Committee on Invalid Pen-
sionswill reports bill providing that all
persons who are or who may become to—
tally helpless from injuries received, or
diseases contracted while in the military
or naval service of the United States shall
receive a pension of $72 per month.
The President keeps up his fusilade of
vetoes of private pension bills. His parti.
san friends excuse him on the ground that
he is now signing more than he vetoes.

The Star calls attention to the great,in~
crease in‘this year’s catch of food fishes,
and pays a- just tribute to the government
fish-propagating commission so long and
faithfully presided over by the late Prof.
Baird. It says that the catch this season,
in North Carolina, is unprecedented. Last
yearit was double that of the year before,
and this year will be One-third more than
last. In the waters of, the Chesapeake
Bay the catch last year was also very much
greater than the year before, and present
indications lead to the belief that this sea-
son’s yield will largely exceed that of 1887.
These notable increases of food production’
are undoubtedly due tothe great success
of the fish culture carriedon by the U. 8.
Fish Commission. ;_'In'tlie rivers of New
England, its original home, but from
which that fish had long since been exter-
minated,.thc'salmo|i is' again becoming
quite plentiful, the result also of artificial
propagation, aided by intelligent protec-
tion on the part ofthe local authorities.
These facts, taken in connection with the
introduction and subsequent large’increase
of shad in the- rivers of the Pacific coast—
wholly due to the eflorts of the controls"-
sion—seem to fully justify alltlrat‘hps

A much more romantic and gratifying
incident in the way of recent postal re-
forms, was reported to the department
here last week from Baltimore. Since the
blizzard, nearly two months ago, Capt.
James II. Hebb has been given up for
lost, and his wife has. been mourning him
as dead. Saturday, however, a letter was
received from him saying that he is alive
and well. Capt. . Hebb is a pilot. On the
first night of the blizzard, Marclr 11, he
piloted the schooner Frederick William
to the Capes. The storm swept the vessel
to sea and the captain was obliged to.
remain on board. 'As soon as the boat
'arrived at Dcmerara he wroteto his wife
at Baltimore. The letter was missent to
Philadelphia and was delayed there until
Saturday. The captain is now homeward
borrnd on the1 German steamer Princess.

The society for Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals had two attaches of the British
Legation arrested last week,for “docking”
their horses’ tails. As “it is English, you
know,” to makeahorse‘s tail look like
the butt end of a stable broom, these
“bloods" thought they had a rtght to
square off the caudal appendages of their
steeds. Judge Snell charged that the
horse’s tail was its only defence against
the torturing assaults of flies and cutting
it off was clearly a cruelty to the animal,
and so fined ea’ch culprit $25, which was
promptly paid. It is to be hoped that this
idiotic, unsightly and cruel fashion, may
soon cease to ofiend the eyes of the sensible
and the hearts of the humane. '
answer‘s DISGRACE. ’
The sad case of Mr. Cyrill Benedict, of
Bridgeport, came to its distressing con-
clusicapusatuular. .lesill Wt
at the U. S. Treasury, and has had the
handling of hundreds of millions of money
in his official capacity, during his nearly
a quarter of a century of faithful service
without the loss of a farthing. His fault,
as the story runs, was in havingloancd
four thousand dollars of the Express Co.’s
funds for a few hours to his personal
bankers, the Middletons. They failed to
restore it according to promise. but made
poor'Benedict believe that if he would
lend them three thousand additional, they
would then restore the whole amount.
He fell into. the broken bankers’ net and
confessed his error when too late. He
was tried and convicted, as is always the
Express Company’s course of action with
any defaulting employee, although his
friends offered to (make good the loss, and
he was sentenced to three years at the Al-
bany Penitentiary. He has been detained
here in the city jail some days, under the
expectation that the President :would
pardon him. as the-strongest possible ap-
peals were made in his behalf, but'Mr.
Cleveland would not, and Saturday he was
taken to the Albany prison. Large num-
bers of Adams Express Co.’s people, mem-
bers of the Court that tried him, and
scores of very influential people, jorned‘in
the petition, Mrs. Ex U. S. Treasurer
Wymau came over and personally
importrrned the President in his behalf.
but all without effect. The extreme hard-
ship is that the bankers who wrought his
ruin and robbed great numbers of de-
positors by, their false representations, are
today walking about the streets of Wash-
ington free from arrest or punishment.
In view of the fact that the President has
pardoned murderers, counterfeiters, ballot
box staffers and dcfaulters by the score,
makes his refusal In this case the subject
of much severe criticism. Tire Post, the
administration organ here, expresses itSeIf
on the matter thus:
The President has declined to extend a
pardon to C. P. Benedict, who was lately
sentenced to a three years’ incarceration
at the Albany prison for his self-acknow—
ledged defalcation, although the applica-
tion came to the Executive strongly ap-
proved by the District Attorney and the
Attorney General. Mr. ‘Beuedict, as the
ublic knows, was' the victim o'f-thc
. iddleton failure; and while those
swindlcrs go rrnwlripped of justice, at man'
whose whole life has beenone of the most
exemplary character is ruined in fortune
and-blasted in reputation. With all the
facts before us, we are satisfied thePre-
sidcnt. has made a mistake "in a' too
rigorous execution of the law. If there'
ever lras been a case where the exercise of
Executive clemency was‘im rutively de-
manded, it is this case of r. Benedict.
To affix an incfiaceable stain upon him by
consigning him to the penitentiary, even
for a day, was cruel and unnecessary.
The President has either been badly ad-
vised or Iras “stood up so straight as to
Ieauoverbackward." ,

Among-other things he showed that the
total of wages paid to operatives in his
one district, were equal in amount to those
paid in the districts of the eight members
who fathered the Mills bill, thus proving
that men who have no interest in the man-
ufactures of the country were those se-
lected to make a tariff. _ '

Those who have been induced to try
the remedy which is so extensively and
so ingeniously advertised in the papers,
may be interested in the fellowing from
the New York “Oil, Paint and Drug Re-
porter,” of April 18th:
In discussing‘the subject of dan erous
nostrums, in our last issue, we use as an
illustration a proprietary preparation just
now enjoying wide popularity, but which
as the investigation of eminent analysts
has proved, is a most iniquitous and
dangerous fraud upon the public which
supports it. This preparation is exten-
sively advertised under the name of
“Scotch Oats Essence,” the claim being
put forth by the proprietor or proprietors
that it is: compound tincture of Anna
saliva, or cats. In reality, as has been in-
disputably shown through analysis by
such chemists as Dr. R. G. Eccles, Dean
of the Long Island Collegel-Iospital and
Dr. Bennett F. Davenport, chemist for the
Massachusetts State Board of Health, and
a well known authority, that the stuff
owes its tonic proprieties to alcohol and
morphine which are present in dangerous
quantities. Yet this vile decoction is put
forward, .not only as a remedy for nervous
exhaustion, but as a cure for the mor-
phinc habit. If the directions on the
bottle are followed the innocent victim
who looks to it for help will be confirmed
in his suicidal habit, or if he be not already
addicted to the practice will quickly ac-
quire it. - For months past it has been al--
most impossible to (pick upacopy of a
daily paper which dr not contain a con-
spicuous advertisement of this nostrum,
worded so cunningly as to insure that it
would be read. 'lhe effect upon a grill-
ible public, unfortunately only too willing
to be grilled, by reading the extravagant
claims of the manufacturers of "Scotch

as they calculate their profits,‘grin with
sardonic delight over the credulity of their

Exhausted Nervous Vitality
theReal Cause. ‘
now THIS connector: MAY
BE‘Easinv ovmwomn,
THE most prevalent complaint, at this
season of the year, is weakness and de-
bility. People have a more or less con-
stant sense of exhaustion or prostration,
getting tired of physical and mental work
which formerly could be done with case.
With this weakness there is a condition of
nervousness or irritability, accomanicd by
a languid and enervated feeling.
The cause is that there is an exhaustion
of the nerve powers and prostration of the
nervous vitality. This will be readily un-
derstood when it. is considered that the
nervous system is the mainspring. so to
speak, of the body; that it controls the
action of all our organs as well as all our-
movements, and is the force by which we
live. It is plain therefore that when, from
any cause, the nervous power, energy, and
strength is weakened or exhausted, phys-
cial prostration, with a wrong actidn of all
the organs, must inevitably follow.-

Weak. Lanmild and 'I‘Irod,
with more or less nervousness, they may
be certain that it is on account of an ex
haunted nervous vitality; the nerves have
become weak and the generation of nerve
force has become lessened or arrested. If
this condition is allowed to continue, or
the disease to progress, utter physical and
nervous prostration will certainly follow.
Persons thus affected are often nervous,
sleepless, dcspondent and mentally de-
pressed; there are in many cases a dull
cloudy sensation in the head, with bad
feelings in the eyes, and a tired feeling on
arising in the morning. There is often
dyspepsia, indigestion, billousness, consti-
pation or kidney disease.
It is‘an obvious fact that if a cure is to "
be obtained in these cases it can be offset-
ed only by the use of some remedy which
builds irp nerve force in the system,
strengthens the nerves, restores lost ener.
gy and power and creates a healthy action
of all the organs.

AKKONIATED BREAD.
Ammoninated baking powder—that is,
baking powders in which carbonate of am-
monia is used as an ingredient, and which
exhale an order of ammonia when heated
——are classed by many eminent physicians
and sanitarians as superior to all others.
Professor Hassell, of London, who is recog-
nized as highest authority on the subject of
food hygiene, commends in the strongest
«stones-Wanamlsuesmnamgs
to be in its perfect volatility, which permits
it to be, by the heat of baking, entirely
thrown into Ienvening gas whereby the
bread is raised. The ex riment with 'heat
worrld seem to indicate t re superior, not the
inferior, value of such baking wder. The
little heat that is imparted to it when held
over a gas jet, lamp or stove, suffices to re.
solve the carbonate of ammonia into leaven-
inigas and throw it off. The first heat of
ha ing, therefore, will effectually develop
all the gas, producing ingredients of a pow-
dew of this kind; and this is the highest
test of a rfect baking powder. Where
other alka is: alone are used they are not
infrequently retained unresolved, through
the whole process of baking and remain an
unwholesome ingredient in the finished
bread. The carbonate of ammonia cannot
be used as a subststute for cream of tartar.—

INCREASE YOUR PENSION.
Many pensioners borne on the rolls are entitled
to a much higher rate of pension than they now
receive. lnagreat majority of cases In which
pension was granted for disease, the pensioner Is
on titled to an Increase of rate, and in most cases
where It was granted for wounds or Injuries the
disability Increases each year. As time passes the
disability of all classesnaturally increases. Many
were at first rated too low. and it often occurs
that pensioners are unjustly or erroneously re.
duced by examining surgeons. A pensioner 1s
entitled to increase on a disability not set forth In
his original declaration. The pension laws are
more liberal than formerly, and better rating can
be trad for many disabilities. I make a specialty
of Neglected and Rejected Claims, and If you will
present me with a brief statement of your case,
stating by whom It was presented, I will obtain a
rehearing of your case, and,i it has merit, will
procure a favorable settlement Many claims
stand rejected before the department, when it
only requires a competent attorney to make them
good cases. Soldiers suffering with " “lilies
