EDITORIAL LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. 0., May 20, ’89.
DEAR GAZETTE :——During this floral and
leafy end of May probably no city on the
globe is so affluent in vernal beauties as
our national capital. Every known
flower, ' flowering tree and shrub and
shade tree that will thrive in this climate
findsaplace in our public grounds and
parks. The flowering thorn apple,flower-
ing peach, cherry and locusts, which
were among the most gorgeous floral
decorations of the parks a few weeks ago,
are now a little on the wane, while their
places are substituted by the gay and
varicolored rhododendrons, snowballs,
labernums and great white flowers of the
magnolia magnafloras. This, too, is the
height of the early rose season and the
entire city is redolent with the perfume,
and the eye is delighted on all sides and
everywhere by the myriads Of these queen '
of flowers.
SAVING Br BOND PURCHASES.
The total amount of bonds purchased
from August 3, 1887, to date is $68,039,100,
of which $61,590,250 were 4 per cents.,
and $107,048,850 44’s. The cost was
$184,858,750, of which $78,728,883 was
paid for the 4 per cents., and $115,030,866
was paid for the 4.5 per cents. Their cost
if paid at maturity would have been
$230,449,788, or $108,420,221 for the 4 per
cents., and $131,929,567 for the 4.} per
cents. The saving by their purchase is
$35,590,039, or $29,591,338 on the 4 per
cents., and $5,998,700 on the 4% per cents.
Our fellow townsman, now ex-U. S.

career here and returned to the peace and
delights of private life at his far more
comfortable home at Norwalk. Such are
the mutations of human and more
especially partisan official life. He made
a capable, faithful, painstaking and popu-
lar treasurer. It is gossippcd that ex-
Senater E. J. Hill put forth all his liercu -
lean efforts to have him retained, but the
hunger of the Indiana aspirant for the
place was too intense for Hill’s patriotic
efforts and they came to nought.
STREET cans.
The desire of street railway managers
to supersede horses by some mechanical
means of locomotion is almost unanimous.
According to recent inquiry it is shown
that 66% per cent. of the roads of the
country favor a change; 164 per cent.
favor mechanical methods other than
electricity; 34 per cent are using Or will
adopt the electric motor. In this last
class one-third prefer the overhead system
and .One-ninth like the storage battery.
Nearly all the lines in this city are making
arrangements to dispense with horses.
One line here is already using electricity
with economy and success. May it not
be hoped that the poor, overworked and
much abused horse may soon find release
from the tortures of street car service
wherever they exist.
COLOR LINE.
The President in his appointment of
ex-Congrossman John R. Lynch, of Mis—
sissippi, to the fourth auditorship of the
Treasury, has done a most just and
commendable act. The appointment is
more than a recognition of the colored
element in republican politics. It is a
tribute to the sterling merit and ability of
a man who has proved himself, in various
public positions and all the private rela-
tions of life, an honor to any race. He is
still in the prime of manhOod, and his
record in the past, extending from the
humblest origin over obstacles that most
men would have considered insurmount-
able, to places of prominence and trust,
furnishes an an assurance that the future
will award him both the justice and the
distinction that he so well merits.
His appointment of the thoroughly rc-
fined and gentlemanly clergyman, al-
though from Indiana and colored, to be
. .cllinLrpnntdinc.nl£nn-3n ~11“: 40—:
was another graceful recognition of the
colored man in republican statesmanship
and politics.
now A DEMOCRATIC POSTMASTER RETAINED
IIIs OFFICE.
A {remarkable case in connection with
the post office at Cochecton, Sullivan
county. N. Y., has been unearthed by the
post Oflice department. Henry Winters
was the postmaster, and, in March last,
soon after Postmaster-General Wanamaker
assumed his position, Henry Inderlied
was appointed in the place of Winters.
The usual bond was executed and mailed
at Cochecton, but. never reached the post
office department. Other correspondence
also disappeared. Mr. Inderlicd’s com-
mission as postmaster was mailed from
Washington on the 81k inst., but he did
not receive it until Friday. Special
Agent Stewart, of the post office inspec‘
tor’s department, appeared on the scene,
and Winters soon wilted. In the latter’s
pockets were found Mr. Inderlicd’s com-
mission and letters from Congressman
Stivcrs, of the Middletown district, and
the post office department, all addressed
to Inderlied. Inspector Stewart took
charge of the pocket mail. Mr. 1nderlicd
was put in charge of the post ofilee at
once, and Winters was taken to New
York Friday night under arrest, the new
postmaster accompanying them.
The- amount of mail dcprcdations dur-
ing the last administration was unprece-
dented. Even democratic congressmen
sent out their public documents of value
either by express or under postal registry,
so frequent were the thefts. The stealing
of fancy and valuable holiday and Easter
cards and samples of goods has been dis-
gracefully frequent, and men of all par-
ties must rejoice to see First Assistant
Postmaster Clarkson “turning the rascals
out” with such determined energy.
PENSION PAYMENTS IN ONE WEEK.
During the past week the Treasury
department has disbursed $11,380,000 on
account Of pensions, thereby xliausting
the appropriation for the current fiscal
year, amounting to $81,750,000.
RUM AND MURDER.
A colored man named Colbert was
hanged here Friday for a murder commitv
ted while crazed by mm. 116 voiced his
warning to others to beware of strong
drink by distributing temperance tracts
to those present, and closed his life with
the oft repeated and pathetic utterance :—
“But for whiskey I would not be here.”
Within a few minutes of Colbert’s exc-
cution, and within a mile of the scaffold
at the jail, a confirmed drunkard named
Allen entered one of our public school
roams while crazy drunk and, in the
presence of the children, where she was a
teacher, shot his wife and then himself.
This record of the sacrifice of four lives to
the rum fiend teaches a practical temper-
ance lesson of admonition and warning
more terrible than any mere words can
words.
A:
TDEOLoor.
The Post gives the following as evidence
of the fact that the interpretation of the
Scriptures meets with vigorous handling
in some of the colored pulpits of Wash-
ington :— _
“I tek tex’ dis mawnin’ from the gaws-
pel aceordin to St. Matthew: ‘Bnt I say
.unto you resist not evil, but whosoever
'Sllflll smite you on dy right cheek turn to
him do Oddcr also.’ .
.“My breddern. dis am a hard bone fer
chaw an’ n bittah pill for for swallcr."
PERSONALS.
Hon. James W. Hyatt and son John
left here for Norwalk, “for good,” last
week. ‘ -
Senator Platt, who was here last week,
has received an invit :tion to go to the far
west and accept the hospitalitics of the
people of {Dakota in recognition of the
efforts he has put forth in their behalf in
the legislation investing them with the
dignities of statehood.
General and Mrs. William T. Clark,
who were visiting S. K. Stanley last week,
are reported back here. ,
Mr. and Mrs. Lyman Baird and daugh-
ter, Bessie, of Chicago, are here.
President and Mrs. lIarrison sent a
beautiful floral tribute to be placed on the
bier of Minister and Editor Allen Thorn-
dykc Rice, and Mr. Blaine sent his son
Walker over to New York to represent
him at the funeral.

Appreciation of Good Work.
General Orders, No. 2, issued by COLT.
L. Watson,‘of the Fourth regiment, C. N.
G., are as follows :
The commandant of this regiment wishes
hereby to convey to the officers and men
of his command his sincere appreciation
of the good work performed by them
while participating in the parade in New
York, on April 30th, in the commemora—
tive exercises of the inauguration of George
Washington as first President of the
United States. He also desires to call at—
tention to General Orders, No. 10, A. G.
0., dated May 8, 1889, wherein the com—
mander—in—chief , expresses his hearty
commendation of the promptness and
military efficiency displayed by the Fourth
regiment, C. N. G.
The criticisms published in the Army
and Navy Journal, and other New York
papers, as, emanating from regular army
officers, {are of such a character as to
compensate the command for their earnest
efforts to excel in marching and deport—
ment while performing this tour of duty.
The percentage present was most cred-
itable, and the entire work was gratifying
to the regimental commandant.
While the regiment is not under orders
for the usual May ptiradc, the colonel do-
sires that the officers and men will on—
deavor as far as possible to qualify as
liiliiTr's'i’rIL-‘if'dfia sharpshoo‘ter's, within the
time and under the required conditions.‘

Did Not Deliver His Rival’s Commission.
Henry 'Winters, until recently the post-
master at Cochecton, Sullivan county, N.
Y., the gray bearded keeper of a little
store, secured under President Cleveland’s
administration the appointment as post-
master. About six weeks after President
Harrison was inaugurated Herman Indcr.
lied, the keeper of the rival store at Coeli-
ecton, secured the appointment as Post-
master Winter’s succcssor. Mr. Inderlied
had difficulty in securing ' ofllcial informa-
tion on the subject. He discovered a few
days ago that the Congressman from his
district had written to him on the subject,
that letters concerning his bond had been
delayed, andfinally that his commission
as postmaster had been sent to him from
Washington. Post Office Inspector Stew-
art wcnt to Cochecton on Friday to inves-
tigate the matter. Postmaster Winters
was still in Office. Mr. Stewartlfound him
at his home, and made a few gentle in-
quiries, which led to the production of
two or three letters directed to the newly
appointed postmaster, which had not been
put in the proper box. The corner of a
registered letter was seen by the inspector
concealed under the postmaster’s vest, and
Mr. Stewart drew out the letter. It con-
tained the commission of the new post-
master, and had been held by Winters
since April 29. Winters was arrested on
a charge of delaying the mails, and was
taken to New York city. Commissioner
Shields fixed the bail at $1,500, which was
promptly furnished. Cochecton had a
new postmaster Saturday afternoon.

Gen. Olmstead’s Shot.
Gen. Olmstcad of Norwalk, supported
the Housatonie petition in the House on
Thursday in a Speech, in which he said,
as reported by the Com-ant :
Mr. Olmstead of Norwalk said the city
council of his place had adopted resolu-
tions unanimously asking the legislature
to grant the petition Of the Hous’atonic
company. Tiicy voiced the sentiments of
nineteen—twentictlis of the people of his
town, as did the petitions which had been
presented to this legislature. The ques-
tion is regarded as a vital one by the
people of this vicinity, The request is
confronted, not by the people, but simply
by a corporation, which claims we are an;
. - - u - - . mum'-
onism is necessary in order to grant equazrl
and exact justice to another corporation,
then it is proper. There is no other
great trunk line of equal length from New
York which is not paralleled. He ad—
mitted the splendid management of the
Consolidated road, but the people of his
vicinity desire much greater railroad
facilities than they now have. The appli-
cation should not be denied.

Stylish Summer Suits.
Vogel Brothers’ well-known clothing
house at 42d street and 81.11. avenue, New
York city, never looked more attractive
than at present. It is just filled with the
newest styles of men’s and boys’ clothing,
and all of good make, too, for every gar-
ment sold by this firm is manufactured by
themselves with the utmost care, in order
to give perfect satisfaction in every in-
stance. Prices are placed within the
reach of all. Boys’ suits range from $5 to
$10, while children’s suits can be had as
low as $4 Men’s frock suits for business
and dress wear range from $12 to $30,
and a business man’s suit can be bought
from $12 to $20.
There is a distinctiveness about the
clothes made by Vogel Brothers which
you notice as soon as you try on a coat or
a pair of trousers. They are unlike other
clothes, and the wearer feels a satisfaction
in them which can only be accounted for
by the fact that they are made by the most
skilled hands in the trade and are of the
best material of their different grades.
Their gentlemen’s furnishing and hat
departments contain many novelties
Their shoe department has become a
great success, and no wonder, consider-
ing the quality and price of the foot wear
sold. This department includes a special
ladies’ parlor.

It is a fairly well authenticated Wash-
ington story that General Black left on the
files of the pension ofliee a large amount
of political correspondence, which con;
tains the inside of his candidacy for the
vice—presidential nomination, showing the
extent to which the pension ofllce force
was used for political purposes in his
interest. Commissioner Tanner has said
that he will not make this correspondence
public. But perhaps he will change his
mind. The files of a government depart-
ment are not the place for private corres-
pondence, and any letters found there
may be regarded as bearing on the public
interest. The people have a right to know
how their servants are performing their
duties, and they are particularly interested
when it is charged that servants have
been nnfaithful.—New Haven News.
When the twin states of Dakota make
their advent into the Union one should

ginia should be changed to Kanawlra.
