EDITORIAL LETTER.

WASHINGTON, D. 0., Dec. 16, ’89.

DEAR GAZETTE :—Tlic prominent event
of the past week was the ”ceremony corn-
memorative of the centennial of the in-
auguration of Washington as our first
President. Both Houses of Congress ad-
journed over Wednesday, and the great
hall of the House was crowded with eager
participants and spectators of the impos
in; and historical proceedings. It ie-
quired nearly one-third of the Space in the
hall of the Ilouse to seat the foreign visit-
ors. There were present the representa-
tives of the nineteen American republics
participating in the Pan-American con-
gress; twenty-five other nations were
represented by the delegates to the
maritime congress, and the world at large
vieWed the spectacle through the diplo
matic corps. A more notable audience-
was probably never assembled under a
single roof It was not merely a national
gathering, where the great public men of
tile United States Were aSSembled to prop-
erly honor the father of the country, but
civiliZed nations of the earth, despotisms,
monarchies, and Other republics were
represented in the assemblage.

At 12:30 1). m. President Harrison and
Secretary Blaine. came down the main
aisle together, followed by Secretaries
Miller and Proctor, Secretary Tracy and
Postmaster-General Wanamaker,Secretary
Rusk and Private Secretary llalford.
When these were seated Speaker lleed
tendered the gavel to Vice-President
Morton, who rapped the assembly to order
and presided throughout the remainder of
the ceremonies Chief .iustrce Fuller was
the orator. In beginning he said :—

By the terms of the section Of that act
of congress under which we have assem—
led in in ther commemoration of the his-
toric events of the inauguration of the
first President of the United States, George
Washington, the 30th of April, A. D.,
1889, was declared a national holiday, and
irithe noble crty where that event. took
place its centennial anniversary has been
celebrated with a magnificence of speech
and song of mnltitudinous assembly, and
of naval, military and civru display, ac-
companied by every manifestation of deep
love of country, of profound devotion to
its institutions, and of intense apprecra-
rion of the virtues and servrces of that
illustrious man whose assumption of the
Chief Magistracy gave the assurance of
the successful setting in motion the new
gOVi-rnment. _

Washington, the orator continued, had
becmire first in war, not so much by Vic-
iories over the enemies, or by success in
strategy, as by the trials of a constancy
which no reverse, no hardship, no lllCOlll-
potency, no treachery could shake or
overcome. He had become first in the
hearts of his countrymen, because the
people comprehended the greatness of
their leader, and recognized llldlllll an
entire absence of personal ambition, an
:ibsrilutc love of country, of themselves
and of mankind. He had become first in
peace by bringing to the charge of the
practical working of the system he had
participated in creating, on behalf of the
people whose independence he had
achieved, the same serene justice, the
same sagacity, the same sense of duty,
the same far-sighted comprehension of the
end to be attained that had marked his
career from the beginning. .

The orator alluded but briefly to the
brilliant war record of General Washing-
ton, but in eloquent words portrayed the
growth and value of republican institu-
tions under the administration of Pl‘eSldeLt
Washington . .

Referring to the fear of ai'bitary power
in respect to the Presidential Office thief
Justice Fuller said: “But no fear, no
jealousy could be entertained of him
who had indignantly repelled the sug-
gestion of kingiy power; who had un—
sheathed the sword with reluctance and
laid it down wrthvjoy; who had never
sought official position, but accepted pub-
lic office in deference to so unanimous a
demand for his services as to convrnce
him of their necessity; whose patriotism
embraced the whole country, the future
grandeur of which his presciencc foresaw.
Of the future greatness of the new nation,
Washington had no doubt. He saw, as it
face to face, that continental domain,
which glimmcred to others through a
glass darkly.” The orator then went into
an exhaustive review of the constitution
and the amendments thereto, and crted
ihecivii war as a Searching test of the
wisdom and lasting quality of our form of
government.

In a brilliant peroration the Chief Justice
said: "No ship can sail forever over
summer seas. The storms that it has
\\~'eai.hered test and demonstrate its ability
to survive the storms to come; but storms
there must be until there shall be no more
sea. But as amid the tempests in which
our ship of state was launched, and in the
times to come, with every exigency con-
stellations of illustrious men Will use
upon the angry skies, to control the whirl-
wind and dispel the clouds by their potent
influences, while from the ‘clear upper
sky’ the steady light of the great planet
marks Out the course the vessel must pur-
sue, and sits shining on the sails as it
comes grandiy into the haven where it
would be.” p

srLcorr‘s THEFT.

The cashier of the House sergeant-at-
arms is found to have absconded with
$81,800. NO very active measures have
been taken to secure his return, however.
The committee have finished their report
and it is a sort of milk and water affair.
It exonerates all the other employees
save Silcott and Ledom. Some members
are ungenerous enough to express their be-
liefthat if Silcott was captured and return-
cé his chief would be tempted to decamp.
The report of the investigating committee
shows that very loose methods ruled the
cash department of the sergeant-at-arms
office. Impccunious congressmen were

permitted to»“overdraw,” to borrow and
have their pay claims discounted for
months ahead. It is generally" thought
the House will pass a bill refunding all
the pay of members that was stolen.
This will be good news to our Connecticut

members, who are reported to have a
month‘s salary each in the defalcation
soup.

_ t . REV. DR. NOBLE.

The-Washington Post has the following
concerning Dr. Noble’s removal to Nor-
wall :—

“Rev. Dr. Thomas K. Noble for a year
and‘a'half pastor of the Eastern Presby-
terian church, on Eighth street, between
F and G streets northeast,'wrll leaVe this
city during the latter part Of the month
for Nor-walk, Conn., to take charge of the
principal Cmgregational chuch there.
Mr. Noble leaves this city for the reason
that he cannot get a church large enough
to hold the congregations that come to
hear him preach. Being able to draw
from a thousand to fifteen hundred people
to hear his sermons, he does not like to
preach in a chapel that is crowded when
three hundred people get in it.

His residence here has been the force of
circumstances. Several years ago Mr.
Noble, when preaching in San FranCisco,
suffered from a severe attack of throat
throat trouble, his physician orderinghrin
to the mild climate of Southern California.
After resting there for several months he
went to Europe, where for a year he
traveled from place to place of interest.
l‘lClilCll returned to the United States,
supposing that he had completely recov-
ered from his ailment, and beginning a
pastorate in the west soon was again
troubled Willi his throat.
perfect rest for several months and then,
two years ago, came to this city. lle
again recovered at about ihe time llev.
Mr. l’cck, pastor of the Eastern Presby—
terian church, was killed in a railroad
accident.

The vacancy in the church then caused
was offered him, and the little chapel in
the northeast part of the city being of so
small dimensions that it did not tax his
vocal organs too greatly, he accepted and
remained pastor of the little chapel for a
year and a half. During this tune an
effort had been made by the Presbyterian
Alliance of this city to erect a spacrous
church on the lot they had bought. at the
corner of Eighth street and Massachusetts
avenue northeast, and it was generally
understood that Mr. Noble would fill the
pulpit there.

The erection of this church now seems
as far Off as ever, so that the only oppor-
tunity the pastor of the northeast part of
this city had to secure a larger edifice was
to accept a call to take him to some other
locality. The little congregation of 70
members, found by Dr. Noble in the
Eastern Presbyterian church, was increas—
ed by 100 others during his stay there,
and the crowded condition of the chapel,
Mr. Noble believes, shows the great need
for greater church facilities in the rapidly
growing northeast, where there is a popu-
lation of 20,000 people.”

Mus. iIAiranON’s BEni-znvmrENr.

It is a singular coincidence that shrouds
the White House again in the emblems of
funeral woe. At the opening of Mr.
Cleveland’s adminis ration Vice-President
I-Iandrieks died. Now Mrs. Harrison sits
in the shadow of a great sorrow, her
sister, Mrs. Scott-Lord, having died last
week. In her hour Of sore trial this good,
true,motheriy and noble woman will have
the sympathy of all who can appreciate
the peculiarly trying duties of her exalted
position. While others can indulge such
sorrow in retirement the President’s wife
is forced to participate in all the cour-
tesies of public and diplomatic life. Social
usages attire capital are imperious and
often a torture to those who have to yield
to such public necessity. Mrs. Harrison
must sacrifice much of personal feeling
in her afflictions to the requirements of
her husband’s place and position.

DAVis‘ OBSEQUIES.

At Alexandria and Richmond effusive
demonstrations were made over Jefferson
Davis‘ death. SeveralU. S. senators of
the democratic persuasion pronounced
culowies over the arch traitor, in which
they especially emphasized the facts of
his Ivaliart service in the U. S. army
during our war with Mexico. It is to be
remembered that Benedict Arnold was an
equally heroic soldier in the cause of his
country before he turned traitor to it
and died leaving an infamous memory.

SERIOUS PRACTICAL JOKE.

At the government printing office a few
days ago one of the young women em-
ployed there suddenly suspended a toy
mouse before tlie'face of another female
cmpioye. Tire latter was so badly fright-
ened that she fainted. Her fainting was
followed by spasms. Realizing the seri-
ous consequences of her playfulness the
joker in turn became frightened and, be-
coming suddenly ill, hastened to the toilet
room. where she too fainted and after-
ward had hemorrhages For awhile it
was feared that both women would die,

but they were soon Well enough to be re."

moved to their homes.

PERSONALS.

Miss Lucy Drake, of Hartford, is spend-
ing the winter with her friend and school-
mate, Marion Le Due, on Washington
Heights.

Governor Buikeley had quite an ovation
on the floor of the Senate during the time
he was here last week attending the con-
vocatian of the governors of the original
thirteen states.

William F. Rockwell, of Mcriden; Mr.
James Cousins, Sr.. Of New York ; C.
Lauders, of New Britain; Jack Bliss, of
Danbury, and the bridal pair, Eversley F.
Childs and wife, were here last week.

A Woman Drummer.

Walter Baker & Co., the famous choco-
late and cocoa manufacturers, employ a
woman drummer. You are surprised ?
You never heard of that before? Why,
yes you have, you know her perfectly Well.
She is a tidy little lady in white, close-fit-
ting cap, and long, white apron, and she
carries a tray of cocoa in her white hands.
Ah, now you remember her. Well, She is
the most successful “drummer” on the
road, and has brought more trade to the
firm that employes her than any man who
ever traveled for them. A good Wine
needs no bush. but at the same time there
is something reassuring in a familiartrade-
mark. Whenever we see that dainty lit-
tle lady in cap and apron hearing her tray
of cocoa before her, we know that the
wrapper she is stamped. upon contains the
purest. the most nourishing and the best
goods made.

He was ordered I

'the assets in doing so.

i The Phoenix Dividends.
i

One Of the chief features of the recent ’

‘ meeting of the policy-holders of the
Phoenix Mutual Life ’was the reading Of
a letter from Vice-President llolcoinbe to
insurance Commissioner Fyier, signifying
the willingness of himself and a majority
of the stockholders to submit to a proper
tribunal the question of the legality of the
dividends alleged to have been improperly
taken. .

The new board of directors have taken
prompt action in the line of Mr. Holcomb’s
proposition, and will have all the facts as
to the dividends referred to laid before
them within a few days for tlfeir consider-
_ ation. The amount at issue is about $117,-
. 000.

It is related, in connection with this
subject, that ex-President Goodman prob-
ably never thought Of securing large re-
turns on his investments in the Phoenix
‘ Mutual stock until about 1882. He was a
: holder of some of the stock, but not to a
' large amount, up to the time. when he
bought the Fessenden stock for which he

 

 

paid at the rate of $117 per share—$75 l

cash and notes assumed to a valuation of
$42 per share additional. This purchase
gave him a total of about 850 shares.
Some of the directors viewed with alarm
this large holding of stock by a single
stockholder, and some of his associates
were led to believe that he would not in-
crease his holdings. He did not, as a fact,
increase his holdings until 1882, when be
secured further stock from Mr. Newton
Case and other gentlemen and secured a
majority interest and virtual control of the
company and its large assets. Up to this
time the dividends were small. Brit in
1882 the directors found a handsome sur-
plus on hand. The result was, in June of
that year, a vote of $6 per share and the
transfer of over $37,000 from the partici-
pating to the stock department. This
was the origin of the stock department
account. although Commissioner Fyler
found that its operations purport to have
begun in 1876.

At the time of the announcement that
the Macfarliue-Goodman deal had fallen
through there was some curiosity as to
the real reasrrn. Mr. Goodman would, it
was clear, prefer to take the $501,000
Macfarline offered rather than the $250,-
000 offered by the Hartford syndicate.
The fact is that Macfarline and not Good-
man was the man who backed down, and
he did so when it was intimated to him
that if he persisted in his scheme the di-

rectors would vote to rcinsure the risks Of

the Phoenix and use up the greater part of
The approval of
the insurance department would have
been necessary, and the directors had. it
is said, assurances that it would be given.
Macfarline saw that he was cornered, that
he would have nothing to show for his
half million and he dropped out. It is
understood that the syndicate who bought
Goodman’s stock made good to Macfarline
his expenses for counsel fees and other-
wise. It is believed that $25,000 forfeit
put up by Macfarline was released.

it is learned that the company, now
thorOughly sound, has very encouraging
prospects ahead. The agents throughout
the country have taken hold with renewed
vigor, considerable new business is coming
in, and Old policy holders are thoroughly
satisfied with the good financial condition
of the company.
