EDITORIAL LETTER.
Wasmxerox, D. 0., April 8, ’89.
Dean GAZETTE :—The pail of death
again enshrouds the Capitol. James
I. Christie, the acting assistant doorkceper
of the Senate, took cold durmg the in-
auguration ceremonies and although he
was at duty till the end of the Senate’s
extra session, it developed into pneu-
monia, and on Saturday he expired. He
was made a Senate page some twenty-
five years ago and his place as door-
keeper was created for him by a resolu-
tion introduced by the late Senator
Roscoe Conkling, many years since.
He was a jovial, active and popular
officer, and knowing about every public
man in the country, became a favorite all
over the land and had a national reputa-
tion. His funeral was attended yesterday
from the Senate reception room and was
attended by all the Senators 110w in the
city and other prominent officials. His
remains were taken to his boyhood
home at Dover, N. H., for interment.
This forfeited life is another strong argu-
ment in favor of changing our quad-
rennial inaugurations to April 30th, the
day on which Washington was first in-
augurated.
a nmzzsnn.
The worst storm of the season .here
set in on Saturday morning. It rained,
hailed, snowed and blowed and thunder-
ed and lightened vigorously during the
most furious part of the gale. which
lasted from early morning till far into
the night. It was not as cold as when
the last year’s blizzard visited Washing-
ton, but it was a far more dreary and
uncomfortable storm. Sunday morning
the sun came out bright and warm and
the snow soon disappeared, and the.
spring flowers and green grass resumed
their bright and smiling faces.
DIVORCES.
That this is aland of broken premises
is shown by the forthcoming report of
Commissioner Carroll D. Wright, of the
labor bureau. By direction of Congress
he has had a thorough report prepared
by years from 1867 to 1886 of all di-
vorces granted in the United States, g1v-
ing the causes assigned and a compari-
s'on with similar divorce statistics in
Europe. The result is appalling if the
figures afford an accurate comparison.
Commissioner Wright’s work has been
more thorough than that of the Euro-
pean collector of ugly facts. For 111-
stance, the aggregate of absolute di-
vorces in 1886, in all Europe, With the
exception of Spain. was 19,500. In the
United States, in the same year, there
were 25,535 divorces. The increase of
divorces in this land of broken promises
appears more forcibly in a comparison of
the number of divorces to the number
of married couples. In 1870 there be-
curred one divorce to every 661 couples:
in 1880 there was one to every 479 mu
ples. The same fact appears in a com-
parison by decades. From 1877 to 1887
there were 206,595 divorces as against
122,121 during the preceding ten years
—an increase of 69 per cent; or to
show what our laws and courts have
drifted to in a period of twenty years,
there were 9,937 divorces in an estimated
population of 36,000,000 in 1867, while
in 1886 there were 25,535 in an estimated
population of 513,000,000»- an increase of
156 per cent. An examination of the
causes of divorce reveals the fact that
desertion by both parties is the chief
pretext for legal separation, cruelty on
part of husbands coming next, and adul-
tery on part of wives last. In the
twenty years from 1867 to 1886 wives
have received 75.119 divorces on account
of desertion and 51,438 decrees have
been granted husbands whose wives
have left them. There were in the
same period 45.419 divorces on account
of cruelty of husbands to wives, while
but 6,101 were allowed on account of
cruelty of wives to husbands. The
adultery of husbands has resulted, dur-
ing the last two decades, in 38,156 di-
vorces. The same cause on the part of
married women has produced 29,480
divorces. The aggregate of legal separ—
ations from all causes tells a hard story
against the men. There were in the
twenty years covered by the report
216,077 divorces granted to wives and
112,639 to husbands. The only one-
sided fact furnished by the report ap-
pears in the matter of divorces for non-
support. In twenty years 7,948 separa-
tions were granted to wives for this
cause. but not one appears where the
husband has failed to be supported by
the wife.
BUSH FOR OFFICE.
About a score of Congressmen still re-
main in the city hunting places for their
constituents. Among these faithful
public servants are Senators Platt and
Hawley, and Representative Russell, of
the New London district. If they se-
cure a place for one in ten of our Con-
necticut patriots, they will have far bet—
for luck than the Representatives from
most of the other states. There is a
sense of security and satisfaction in
knowing that we have so large an army
of Republicans, who are such, not “for
revenue only,” but from a thrifty desire
to “serve their country for their coun-
try‘s good.” It makes one feel that
“the country is safe.”
VOTING FOR POSTMASTER.
Senator Sherman has set the ball in
motion for designating candidates for
postmaster-s in Ohio, by ordering pub-
lic caucuses of Republicans to be held.
The injustice and fallacy of this mode
of selection is subject to such abuses as
.the hiring or inspiring of riif rafi' voters
who never get a letter more than
once a year, to offset honest Republicans
who are business men with large mails
and deeply interested in the honest and
capable administration of the local post
office.
snxxronis PAY.
'lhe more the matter is thought about
and discussed, the more favor does Seu-
ator Platt’s idea prevail of the justice
and necessity of increasing Congress-
inen’s pay. As a rule a higher rate of
ability could thus be secured and a far
more respectable mode of living be in-
dulged in while here at the Capital. It
also revives Gen. Grant‘s plan of every
state supplying its two Senators with
each a furnished house, where his cou—
stitueuts could always feel at liberty to
call on business or to pay his respects,
at his state’s headquarters at the Nation—
al Capital. We remember that the late
Governor and Senator Buckingham also,
very earnestly endorsed this plan and
strongly urged that our little state of
Connecticut should be the first to inaug-
uarate this wise and generous provision
for its Senators and its citizens.
GOOD APPOINTMENTS.
The President has solved the New
York post office problem atlast in a way
that satisfactorily relieves all further
speculations or theorizations on that
much-vexed subject. There was really
not much of a problem to solve, except
to appoint some man as Mr. Pearson’s
successor, possessed of the business
dualifications to administer the affairs of
the office efiiciently, and at the same
time of such political record as to com-
mand the approval and confidence of the
Republican party. He occupies a high
standing in business circles and is a Re-
publican without reproach.
Mr. Erhardt’s appointment as collector
of customs is equally to be commended.
He is a man of first-class capacity and
has done good service as a leader and in
the ranks.
Schuyler Duryee was on Saturday ap-
pointed chief clerk in the pensions office.
He was engaged in mercantile pursuits
in New York city until 1871, when he
accepted a position in the war depart-
ment. which he resigned in 1881. to ac-
cept the appointment of chief of the
assignment division in the patent Office.
In 1883 he was made chief clerk of the
patent office, and held the same until
July, 1887, when he resigned. He was
regarded as an exceptionably able and
efficient officer, and his reappointment,
which was entirely unsolicited, is re-
ccived with general satisfaction.
BU YING BONDS
Secretary Windom has verified the
prediction that he could buy 4 per cent.
bonds, if offered at reasonable rates, by
accepting $1,376,000 in bonds of that
loan at .129. He also established the
highest price he will pay for 4 1-2 per
cents, by accepting $82,500 of that class
of bonds at 108 and rejecting oflers ag-
gregating $1,633,000 at 108 1-4. The
above rates. vis.: 129 for 4 per cents.
and 108 for 4 1-2 per cents. will govern-
bond buying operations of the govmi-
ment for some time to come. It is re-
garded as likely that Secretary Windom
in dealing with the surplus question will
confine himself" for the present to the
purchase of bonds without attempting
any radical change in the present sys-
tem of national bank deposits.
PERSONALS.
Ex-President Cleveland stopped 011‘
here a few moments, Friday afternoon,
while on route home from Florida. He
paced up and down the platform and re-
ceived the greetings of several old
friends, and related his big fish story of
having caught a ninety-five pound tarpon
in Florida waters-last Wednesday.
Gen. Wm. 13. Franklin, of Hartford.
who was here getting instructions at the
state department a short time since, as
United States Commissioner General to

Day, is here, .
Wm. B. Lockwood and Mr. Nefi‘ still
remain in Washington.
Treasurer Hyatt will remain in charge
of the New York sub-treasury until Mr.
Roberts qualifies, and arrangements will
then be made for a count of the monies
and securities in the sub-treasury. Mr.
Huston, the newly appointed treasurer,
will not assume the duties of his new
office until after Treasurer Hyatt is re-
lieved of his present extra responsibili-
ties in the New York office, and the new
treasurer may still further delay qualify-
ing until after the examination of the
New York sub-treasury is completed.
In this way the examination of both
oflices at the same time would be obvi-
ated. ‘
Mrs. SenatOr Hawlcy. with her child,
will sail early in May for a summer’s
visit with relatives and friends in Eng-
land. The general will go ovcr later in
the summer and after visiting the Paris

The Parallel Depot.
The Register says: Plans are in the
hands of a New York architect for the
new union depot in Brid_eport to be
erected in North Bridgcgort at the junc-
tion of the Housatonic main line and the
new parallel road. The structure in its
entirety will eclipse any railroad depot in
the state. General Manager Stevenson has
made up his mind that. the people of his
native city shall have a depot worthy of
Bridgeport. A long suffering public com-
pcllcd to submit to the inconvcnccs of the
present disgraceful apology for a depot
will appreciate the new building which it
is now designed to build. The plans call
for a brick and stone structure facing both
the Housatonic line and the parallel road.
It will stand east of the Housatonic line
and north of the parallel road and neces-
sarily alter the present lay out of that
portion of Bridgeport. The platforms
will lay at right angles to each other,
each being about one thousand feet
long and protected from the weather by
wide overhanging shed roofs. At the
north end and cast of the platforms will
be short turn—outs on which out going
trains can stand. Atlhc east end there
will be similar turnouts for trainpmr the
storage of passenger cars. The plan of
the depot itself will be in the shape of an
L. Each wing will be something over
two hundred feet long. At the corner the
design calls for alligh clock tower sur—
mounted by a flag pole which can be seen
from all over the city.
The first floor will be furnished and
fitted something after the style of [he
Pennsylvania depot in Philadelphia. The
ladies’ waiting room will be finished in
oak. There will be open fire places, lugs,
easy chairs and elaborately tilted toilet
rooms. Thercis also to be a news and
smoking room for gentlemen. ’I‘hc res-
taurant will have, in addition to the usual
high stool method of dining, plenty of
small tables for parties of two or more.
Tile biggage room is arranged so that
trunks can be checked from the waiting
rooms instead of going out doors among a
lot of hackmen, andbeing exposed to the
danger of being run down by a baggage
truck or flying mail bags, which is of
daily occurrence at the old depot.
The second story is to be fitted up for
the offices of the llousalonic system. The
offices w1ll be removed from the present
building. The management of the Hous—
atouic system, the New Haven and Derby
road and the parallel road, will be con-
ducted from this new union depot. Every
conceivable detail whereby the public
shall be accommodated has been carefully
studied. Even in the matter of public
bucks a plan has been laid out to this end.
It was found that the survey brought the
parallel to cross the Ilousatonic at a
point close to the Parrott Varnish com~
pany’s building, which is some distance
from No1th avenue. The line, therefore,
will be swung slightly northward, bring—-
ing the hack and carriage entrance at
convenient proximity to North avenue.
A large etched glass roof will be extended
over the carriage stands. The public
hacks will have a separate entrance from
private carriages.
There are also-to be switches placed con-
necting the Housatonic main line with the
parallel, so that. the through fast express
trains for Lcnox, Great Barrington, Pitts-
tield and other resorts can he run through
as solid trains. Solid trains can also be
run from the Berkshire Hills to New Ha-
vcn as well as over the Derby load.
The question has often been 1110 ted,
“Will the parallel be built?" To this
question the answer is that it certainly
looks as if it would be. No railroad man-
agement would undertake such a splendid
depot and go ahead with the plans, sur-
veys and make arrangements for its rapid
advancement unless they were pretty sure
of what they were about. The citizens of
Bridgeport will have cause to rejoice over
the depot accommodations, and the rail-
road servicc that awaits them in the near
future. Property has already taken a
jump in North Bridgeport, and just as
ground is broken for the new union depot
there will be a boom in property the like
of which has never before happened in
this city.

A Big Treasury Vault
J. W. Hyatt, the United States treas-
urer, sits in the small private office of
the sub-treasury every day, in charge of
the government’s money building, until
Ellis H. Roberts, the newly appointed
assistant treasurer, qualifies. “I will
leave my department in Washington,”
said Mr. Hyatt, ‘in the best possrble
shape. The only notable thing that has
occurred during my administration is
the completion of a vault in the United'
States treasury 100 feet square, the larg-
est in the world. This vault will con-
tain 86,000,000 silver dollars. It is di-
vided into eight cages. Boxes contain-
ing 2,000 silver dollars each fill the cages,
The vault has an outside wall of solid
brick and is lined with solid plate on the
inside. Each cage is armored with iron.
There are three great doors which must
be opened before access can be had to
the silver. The first door lets one into
a corridor running around the cages.
Visitors are allowed to walk in this cor-
ridor in the daytime. , Then there is a
door to get to the cages and one to each
cage. The combination of no one door
is known by more than one man, so that
when I am not present it requires three
men to get at the money.
‘ ‘We depend more upon our watchman,
however, than bolts and bars to protect
the mono in the treasury. There is al-
together 700,000,000 in gold. silver and
bonds deposited there. Strangely enough
the bond of the United States treasurer
is only $150,000, $250,000 less than is
required of the assistant United States
treasurer at New York city. Bonds,
however, would not protect the United
States funds if a. treasurer wished to be
dishonest. The amount of money that
could be stolen is so immense that a bond
which would meet the possibilities would
be an impossible one. The money is all
placed to the credit of the United States
treasurer on the warrant of the secretary
of the treasury, and not one cent can
pass out without his signature. Nearly
$200,000,000 of money is kept deposited
in the New York sub-treasury to supply
the natural large demand for currency in
a great financial center like New York.
There are now $189,000,000 here and
every cent will have been counted as
soonas Mr, Roberts takes his commi— ,
siou.”—New York Star. 3

ONE PURE ARTICLE OF FOOD.
The Royal Bakln Powder omelully Com-
monded.—-W ole-onto Action of
the New Jenny State
Board of Health.
The action of the New Jersey Stuto
Board of Health in publishing the names
of the alum baking powders sold in that
state will be commended by all who are
in favor of pure and honest food. Source
on article sold enters more generally into
the daily food of every one than baking
powders. It in well understood that the
alum and the slum and phosphate baking
powders are detrimental to health, and
consumers only require to be informed as
the names of these uuwholcsomc brands
in order to avoid them.
This information the manufacturers of
the alum baking powders are cudeuvoring
it seems. to suppress. It is stated that
they went so far as to seek (unsuccessful-
ly. hoWever,) for an injunction to prohibit
the New Jersey authorities from proceed-
ing with their recent investigation and
expose.
It is particularly gratifying to consumers
to know that the baking powder which
they have l0 long been accustomed to
using, the Royal, has invariably gone.
through these analyses not only without
a reflection against it of impurity or un-
wholesomcness, but each time more em-
phatically endorsed as the superior of all
the baking powders of the market. '
The health authorities of a number of
other states have also recently made
exhaustive examinations of thin character,
and with the uniform result of finding
the Royal superior to all others. The
United States Government Chemist, after
an examination for the Indian Department
made the emphatic statement that “The
Royal Baking Powder is the purest in
quality and highest in strength of any
baking powder of which I have know-
ledge." The authorities of Canada have
been making an elaborate study of the
baking powders sold there. The official
analyst of Ontario says as the result of his
investigation that he “finds the Royal
Baking Powder far superior to the others,”
and goes on so far as to “recommend in
use in preference to any other." Like-
wise, a some of over five hundred tests
for strength made by public analysts and
other chemists of prominence throughout
the country show it to produce an average
of twenty-five per cent. more leavening
gas than any of it! competitors.
A company that maintains this high
standard for Its product against the
temptations of the enormously greater
profit that would accrue from the use of
the cheaper materials employed by other:
(for the alum baking powders are pro-
duced at a coat of three cents per pound)
is entitled to this public commendation
and endorsement.
