EDITORIAL LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D.'C., March 10, ’90.
DEAR GAZETTEz—The Senate for the
past week has seriously divided its atten-
tion between the Blair educational lrill
and an effort to discover how the news-
paper reporters trct a daily account of all
that transpires in executive session. The
simple fact was, as the senators well
know themselves, that the defeat of the
Blair bill was a foregone conclusion, and
the long and tedious debate on a dead
issue had lost all interest, both to the serr-
ators themselves and to the country at
large, and so the industrious scribes, in
the laudable purpose of not letting all in-
terest in the highest legislative branch of
the government “perish from the earth,’
set themselves to report the more inter-
esting doings of the secret sessions, and
the result proves the correctness of their
reports and the fidelity of their service to
the public. There is one wa ', and one
way only, by which this ludicrous farce
can be stopped. Let the grave and rev-
erend senators abolish secret sessions and
let the people see anti know what they are
about. Except in the rare rases of the
consideration of important treaties there
is no excuse for continuing this old and
tin-American star chamber practice of
' shuttiugthemselves up out of sight and
hearing of their masters, the people.
In the House a lot of general bills have
been rattled through with unprecedented
celerity under the improved system of
rules inaugurated under Speaker dReed,
which allows public business to be done
instead of impeded as under the oid rules.
-Public buildings, pensions and kindred
bills-have passed In unusual numbers and
thus greatly relieved the House’s always
ovérloaded calendar. Four of the seven-
teen contested election cases have already
been settled, and rapid work is being done
on the others. The sub-committee on the
world’s fair bill, aided by a committee of
_, leading citizens of Chicago, is at work anti
expects to report the perfected bill the
present week.
SENATOR ALLISON. ,
The _r‘..-.election of Senator Allison, last
week, to succeed himself, caused more
srncerc joy in congressional circles than
any similar event for years. He is not
only, as chairman of the Senate‘s appro-
‘ 'priatiou committee, the most laborious
and painstaking working senator in that
body, but is withal, by reason of his uni-
form urbanity and courtesy personally,
His
desk was cmbowcred with immense pyra-
mids of flOWers on the morning after his
election, the largest piece, a mound in the
form of a star, made of lillies and roses
and" some three feet across, was the gift
of the Senate employes irrespective of
party. Mr. Allison was four times elected
to the House, where he did faithful ser-
vice for eight ‘years. He has already
served seventeen years in the Senate, and
.at the end of his newly elected term will
have spent twenty-four years in that body.
This is an enviable record in the public
service for a man who has just turned
sixty years. The party, the state and the
country are to be congratulated upon his
return to the seat that he has so usefully
and honorably filled.
MONTANA SENATons.
The Senate elections committee has, by
a strict party vote, decided to report that
the two republicans, Power and Saunders,
are entitled“: the seats on the grounds
that the republican House of Montana was
the legal House, as its members held the
certificates of election from the election
officers, and it was recogniZed as the legal
House by the state Senate. 4
Fix-SENATOR ENGLISH, OF CONNECTICUT.
Err-Senator and ex-Governor English, of
Connecticut, whose recent death has been
so widely and regretfully announced, was,
itwill be remembered, amember of con-
gress frdmilStjl to 1865, and the only man-
who had the moral courage to vote for the
bill for the abolition of slavery here in the
District of Columbia. He was severely
criticised at the time by the pro-slavery
zealots of his. party,.and everywhere ap-
plauded by men of anti-slavery sentiments.
Upon the death of Senator Orris ,S. Ferry,
in 1875, Mr. English was appointed by
Governor Ingersoll to fill'out Gen. Ferry’s
unexpired term. He came to the Senate,
and was sworn in on the first Monday of
December of that year at the Opening
Of‘thc session. Here an incident came
under your correspondent’s personal ob.
s'ervation that was so thoroughly illustra-
tive of Mr. English’s well known generos-
ity and probity, and though strictly for-
bidden by him to publish it at the time,
we feel justified now that he is dead in
making it public to his credit. The sal-
aries 6f members and senators are by law
continuous. They never stop. “Men may
come and men may go,” but the congres-
sional salary “goes on forever.” At the
dceease bf a member of congress the sal-
ary accrues to the successor, although
that successor may not be sworn in for
months or years after the death vacancy.
Financial Clerk Nixon, of the Senate,
earnestly desired to balance up the salary
account standing to the credit of Connec-
ticut and urged its acceptance, but Senator
English would not touch a penny of the
salary which had accumulated prior ,to
the day he was sworn in.
said he, f‘is not. mine. I was not even
appointed when I find it placed to my
credit. I shall never accept'a cent of it.”
. This was the first protest of the kind that
)
“That money,” ‘
l Pay Clerk Nixon had ever witnessed and
he naturally surmised that our new senator
was something ofa crank. He came to
your correspondent and confidentially ex-
plained the trouble and vexation it made
'in his bookkeeping, and requested us, if
it were possible, to persuade the senator
to draw it so that the cashier’s books
could be balanced and returned to the
Treasury in compliance with the law. We
stated the case to the senator and the per-
plexity and embarassment of the cashier.
,“It isn’t mine and I won’t touch it. If by
law it belongs to any one it should go to
the widow of my deceased predecessor.”
We rejoined, “NO one but you has power
to draw it and balance. the account; why
notoend it to Mrs. Ferry?" “Would it.
be acceptable to her,” he quickly asked.
We expressed the belief that it would;
that owing to Mr. Ferry’s long and expen-
sive illness it would be particularly accept-
able. “Then she shall have it; come with
me and we will fix it now.” He left his
seat in the Senate and we repaired to the
cashier’s room, and finding the amount an
odd and not very large one he added some
one hundred and fifty dollars of his own
money to that credited, and had Mr.
Nixon mail Mrs. Ferry a draft for her
Christmas of a rounded sum of sufficient
magnitude to relieve his predecessor’s
wrdow of a large obligation connected
with Gen. Ferry’s sickeness and death
that had haunted her like a nightmare.
The generous hearted and modest souled
man then expressed the earnest wish that
the matter should not be made public, as
any newspaper notoriety over the matter,
he said, would be particularly distasteful
to him, and might prove distressing to the
recipient. But now, after a lapse of so
many years, anti be “gone up higher,”
we feel sure that Mrs. Ferry will justify
us in now laying this simple and unaffect-
ed rccitalasa well deserved Chaplet on
his new made grave.
DEATH OF THE BOY LINCOLN. '
The dcth last week in London of
Minister Lincoln’s young son, Abraham,
or“Jack” as he was more familiarly called
by his family and the lad’s many friends
here, is of a nature that none, who have
not passed under a similar rod, can t'ully
realize. It seems not more than a few
brief months ago, and yet we know it to
be longer, that. in company with his ma-
ternal grandfather, we saw and chatted
with the bright and noble boy sitting in
the Senate gallery, while he, with all a
boy’s enthusiasm, watched intently the
proceedings in the chamber below, and
when, as we could plainly see, the grand-
parent at his side, was more proud of the
lad than of his owu honored record, made
during the yiars he had sat as a senator
on that floor. The immortal name the
lad inherited from the great martyred war
president; his exceptional scholarship,
dignity and courage, inspiring such high
hopes as to the affluent. possibi ities of his
future; this overwhelming, his appeal-
ing sorrow touches to the deepest depths
the great hearts of his parents and fellow
countrymen. In all its sad and deeply
pathetic incidents his death comes to
every American heart not only as a per-
sonal bereavement, but in the- heavier
sense of a national loss. The world is in
sore need ofsuch courageous, high minded
boys. How deep and impenetrable the
mystery that shrouds the “taking off” of
such a bright and noble spirit. God pity
and comfort the hearts that bleed for him.
NEAGLE CASE.
The Supreme Court was overcrowded
last week during the hearing of ttheaglc
case, arising out of the shooting of David
Terry, in Lathrop, Cal., last summer,
when he was In the act of committing an
assault upon Justice Field,of the Supreme
Court. All the justices were present ex-
cept Justice Field. The defense was that
Neagle acted strictly in the line of his duty
in defending the life of Justice Field, even,
to the taking of Terry’s life, when he had
good reason to believe thaf he intended
the assassination of the justice.
ovrm SIXTY MILLIONS SAVED.
Secretary Windomhas purchased from
August 3, 1887, to and including Saturday
last, $123,202;500 of 4 per cent. bonds,
and $134,807,750 of 4&3, a total Of $258,-
310,250 at a total cost of $302,756,998.
The cost at maturity would be $366,633,-
691, making a saving of $63,876,692.
11. Y. POST OFFICE.
Ex-Reprcsentatives “Tim” Campbell
and Quinn, of New York, and Mr. Wilson,
a former employee of the New York city
post office, appeared Friday before the
committee in favor of bills to regulate
the hours of post office clerks, and to
allow them an annual leave of absence.
Mr. Campbell read extracts from the re-
ports of several postmasters-general ad-
vocating the legislation provided for in
the bills. Mr. Wilson said that the clerks
in the large post ofi‘ices frequently broke
down under thcgreat pressure of work.
He read a statement showing that the
clerks in the New York city post oflicc
had in one year worked 238,414 hours, or
28,841; days overtime. That they could
rarely be allowed to enjoy any legal holi-
day, and great numbers of the New York
Office seldom or never were able to dis-
continue their work ou Sunday. Post-
master-General Wanamaker is determined
to reduce the regular Sunday work Of the
clerks in post offices throughout the
country to the mimimum. Sunday work
in the New York post office under the
late Post-master Pearson became a public
scandal.
BIG INJUNS WILL PLAY LOTTERY.
Indian Agent Bennett, located in the
Indian Territory, has reported to the
Indian Bureauflhat it has just come to his
knowledge that an act was passed by the
about two months ago, incorporating the
legislative councillor the Choctaw Nation,
“Choctaw Orphan Asylum Lottery Com-
pany.” The agent reports that great
secrecy was maintainEd concerning this
act, and it was with the utmost difficulty
that he succeeded in securing a c0py of it.
TIIAT ORANGE TEA.
One of the prominent features of the
orange tea given at Mrs. Rossiter’s Satur-
day week was the appearance Of the big
Maltese Angora cat “Benjamin Harrison.”
He was carried through the rooms in an
orange colored basket, and wore orange
ribbons. He received the admiration due
to his great size and his exalted station.
The ladies who gave the tea netted $132
for the benefit of the Newsboys’ Home.
Senator and Mrs. Platt sent them a mag-,
nificent basket of cut flowers.
REV. DR. cuiLDs.
Rev. Dr. Childs was confirmed in Balti-
more, last week, by Bishop Paret. in the
church of his nephew, who is a rector
there. At the meeting Of the Washington
city Presbytery, held here last week, it
was decided, as a report of that gathering
expresses it, “that a certifiCate of good
character be given Rev. Dr. Childs in re.
sponse to his letter requesting hisfdismiss-
a] to another denomination.” :Tlien Rev.
Dr. Fullerton offered the following ex-
pression of esteem for Rev. Dr. Childs :'
“ln parting from Dr. Childs we would
record our respect for his eminent abilities,
our high appreciation of his character,
and our afi'ection for him as a brother.
We pray that in his new relations God
may bless him and make him a blessing
as in the old dear relations in which we
have shared his fellowship.”
A vote was taken for and against revi-
sion of the Presbyterian articles of faith,
and those favoring a change were in the
majority. In course of the debate Rev.
Dr. Bartlett said he “did not believe that
the church should believe in infant dam-
nation because Calvin and the Westmin-
ster assembly did. The church did not
believe it and it should be stricken from
the confession.”
PEACE SOCIETY.
At the peace convention held here
Justice Harlan, who presided, said that
he had received upon undisputed authori-
ty the statement that within the last ninety
years In EurOpc and America, 5,000,000
humam beings have died through wars.
Last year the society circulated 1.000,000
documents sending them to all parts of
the globe, and during the present year
expects to have several of its members
traveling throughout Europe and South
America advancing the principles? of the
society so as to bring about more kindly
relations between the people of different
nations in the direction of the object the
Peace Society has in'vicw.

Nellie Bly contemplates bigamy if the
newspapers are all correct, for we are told
that she is soon to marry a doctor and also
a journalist. Her recent globe-girdling
feat established for her a reputation as a
“fast girl” which she will have hard work
to “live down,” even if this report be
false.
The Sun, on Saturday last, in a double-
leaded editorial over a column In length,
called upon President Harrison to formu-
late and work out a “broad and consist-
ent policy,” a “great issue,” that should
elevate the present administration to a
high position in history and distinguish it
above the mediocre standard of its recent
predecessors, which were “inglorious fail-
ures.” Says the Sim:
Never before since the establishment of
our independence has an unbroken quar-
ter of a century passed over us without
the agitation of some important problem
ch-arly within the realm of Federal cog-
nizance, the discussion of which has stim-
ulated the ambition of our statesmen and
aroused the patriotism of the people, or
the settlement of which has added stabil-
rty and honor tO our government and
given breadth and strength to its domin-
ion.
A glorious suggestion on the part of the
Sun. The country wants a shaking up.
Let’s declare war against the moon; let’s
have an earthquake; letfs agitate the sub-
ject of annexation with China; let’s empty
the Atlantic ocean into the bottomless
pit where the worm dieth not and the fire
is not quenched; let’s dam the gulf stream
and all the royal families. We’ve been
minding our own business altogether too
long. Let’s wake up and have some fun.
