EDITORIAL LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. (1., May 5th, ’90.
DEAR GAZETTE :—Political crrcles here
have not been so painfully shocked since
the assassination of President Garfield as
they were on Saturday afternoon, wiren
the startling news spread the city that
Senator Beck had fallen dead at the same
depot where the Giteau assassination took
place. Kentucky’s great senator, (for he
was great in all the elements of a robust
and honest manhood), had just returned
froma visit to a specialist physician in
New York, and had stepped from the
limited express arriving here about four
o’clock, and, while passing to the waiting
room, staggered, fell and instantly expired.
His daughter, who had accompanied him
to lic-w York, and his secretary, who came
to the train to meet them, were at his side
and he seemed unusually well and was
chatting cheerily when all of a sudden he
exclaimed : "How dizzy I feel Why! I
never felt this way before,” and began to
reel and then fell to the floor" and almost
instantly expired w1thin a few feet of
where the martyred Garfield fell nearly a
decade ago. His daughter was dazed
with the suddeuness Of the stroke, and
could Onlyin her grief piteously implore
the bystanders to hrrrry for a doctor. His
body was tenderly placed upon a stretcher
and conveyed to the private room of the
depot master, and in a few minutes a
physician arrived, but too late, for all that
was mortal of James B. Beck lay stiff and
cold in death. Word had been sent to the
capitol by telegraph, and very soon the
dead man’s friends in congress were ”gath-
cred about the still body in the station
master’s little office. Around it were
Senators Walthall and Gray, ex-S‘peaker
Carlisle and Representatives Breckinridge,
McCrcary, Car-nth, Stone and Montgomery,
of Kentucky. His remains were taken to
Representative Breckinridge’s residence
in I’ht’eniX Block, East Capitol street.
Last Thursday Senator Beck, who had
been ill from what the doctors called
nervous prostration, or nervous dyspep-
sia, went to New York to consult Doctor
Loomis, a specialist on nervous disorders- '
The famous docror’s diagnosis of his case
was encouraging and Saturday morning
he took the limited train from New York
forthis city. His daughter, Mrs. Good-
loe, wife of Pay Dirt etor Goodloe, of the
Marine Corps, accmtql-uried him. The
Senator seemed in good spirits on the way
home, and was apparently in better health
than he had been for some time. Usually
a rrrmlieal adviser gives warning of ap-
proaching death. But there was not in
any mind, not even in his own, the slight-
est {o'ernoniticn of the time or place of his
death a fraction of an hour before he was
a corpse on the platform of the railroad
station. In its suddennessthcrc has been
no more appalling death here for years.
The public life of Mr. Beck began with
his election to the House- Of Representa-
tives soon after the war, and for eight
years—from 1867 to 1875-he was a useful
and conspicuous member of that body.
His subsequent election to the Senate
shows the estimation in which he was
held by the people of Kentucky. He was
tenacious of his Opinions and frank and
fearless in there expression; devoted with
all the ardor of his robust nature to what-
ever cause he deemed to be just, and
wonderfully wellinfcrmed upon the tariff.
finance-and other economic subjects. In all
relations of life, public and private, he was
eminently sincere and honest. His career
in Congress, covering a period of over
twenty years, is absolutely free of blemish
and though partisan upon party questions,
he never forfeited the respect or admira-
tion of either side. He was a good and
true man in all senses of the term, and all
parties and sections will deplore his loss.
His sudden death will be a‘ severe and
unexpected shock to his thousands of
fsierrds in and out of Congress and to the
(:Ctllltl'y at large. A funeral service will
be held in the Senate to-morrow, when
his la-zly will be taken to Kentucky for
interment. '
TARIFF.
The tariff bill seems as far from a
Settled conclusion as it was a month ago,
and Of course all kinds of manufacturing
and importing business suffers according-
ly. Even the most sanguine supporters
of the McKinley bill have not the rernotest
idea of how the measure will finally come
out of the congressional mills after it shall
have run the gauntlet of the House and
Senate’s consideration and certain rend-.
ing. But that some kind of a bill will
pass that will protect American manufac-
tures and American labor, and at the
same time reduce the revenues on raw
materials and articles not produced in this
country every one now seems to feel cer-
tain of. An effort is being made by the
democratic leaders in the House to obtain
pledges from a sufficient number of re-
publicans to limit general debate on the
tariff to ten days to make it certain that a
preposition of this kind will carry. They
claim that they have succeeded in Obtain-
ing the necessary pledges.
INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT.
The long considered, carefully prepared
and much discussed copyright bill was
lost in the House on Friday, more by
reason of the bad and injudiclous manage-
ment of its friends than the strength of its
enemies, The bill is one‘ in the line of
simple honesty, designed to prevent the
frequent free and frequent piracy. As one
member of the House tersely stated in the
debate: “The first copyright law was
i

enacted by Moses, when he inscribed on
the tables of stone, ‘Thou shalt notjsteal.’ ”
This bill would have secured to authors
the same ownership of their brains as
exhibited in their books that is given the
inventor to ownership in the new and
novel ruachinc he constructs. It would
stop the piracy that has been going on on
both sides the Atlantic, and, while its
friends claim that all' decent and worthy
books would be sold as low as is now
done, it would create a stronger and more
elevated literature, and our American
authors would be in far greater demand
than now in Europe. As it will have an-
other trial its friends hope that honesty
will prevail and the bill be permitted to
pass on the score of a more decent moral-
ity if for no other reason.
Tim TRAMP PROBLEM.
At a recent meeting here in aid of the
unemployed, at which President Harrison
was a deeply interested listener, Gov.
Hoard of Wisconsin, sent a letter which
was read, in which Ire says that while
president of the village ,of Fort Atkinson,
Wis, he investigated the tramp problem-
He made a personal study of 164 cases,
and after using various schemes to arrive
at the facts he reached the following con-
clusions:
1. Not one of the 164 had a trade.
2. Not one Of the 104. was born on a
farm.
3. All were absolutely bankrupt in
moral character and all were thieves but
two.
4. A distinguished characteristic of the
tramp is moral and physical cowardice.
They have no pluck.
5. They are recruited in a majority of
cases from that great hand-to-rnouth pop-
ulation in our cities who subsist by day
labor at anything they can get to do.
0. Not one could do an ordinary sum in
fractions or construe a grammatical sen-
tence. They had no purpose in life be-
cause their powers of mind and body
were not trained in any given direction.
They belonged to a “general purpose”
element, and were good for nothing in
particular.
- “If your society,” says the governor,
“can reach out and take hold of these
purposeléssborn children and hold them
to the actual contact of life until they are
made to fit some given necessity, you will
have done more for their moral redemp-
tion than years of preaching without irr-
dustrial training. The great salvation of
the poor and ignorant is work. You can
save ten boys where you can slightly rc—
form one man.”
cassrs.
Four weer s from today the actual
work of taking the census will be begun.
The preparations are now well under way,
and when the 1st of June arrives the
40,000 or more euumerators, armed with
paper and pencil, will be ready to begin
their rounds. The busiest place just now
in corruection with the census work is the
warehouse in this city where the popula—
tion schedules are stored. There are some
20,000,000 of these schedules, and a force
of men under the direction Of Mr. Spauld—
ing are hard at work packing them into
boxes to be sent to the census supervisors.
There are 175 supervisors, corresponding
with the number of districts into which
the country is divided for census pur—
poses. The schedules are sent to the
supervisors to be distributed among the
enumerators. They are packed in boxes,
which weigh, when full, 237 pounds.
There are to be 4,500 boxes in all, and by
the end of the present week it is expected
that they will all be shipped. The boxes
are sent by mail, which means, of course,
that they are carried in, the mail cars in—-
stead of in the express ears. They are,
perhaps, the bulkiest pieces of mail mat-
ter that have ever been received in a post-
al car.
run. nmermmx‘s ANNOUNCEMENT.
As soon as the journal of Saturday was
read to-day Senator Blackburn rose and,
in a voice tremulous with emotion, said :
Mr, President, my colleague is dead. It
is not my purpose at this time to speak
either of him 'Or of the great services
which he has rendered to his country. In
the freshness of the sorrow, the love
which I bore him would blind with tears.
The drapery of his desk furnishes a fitting
type of the sorrow which pervades every
heart in this chamber. A great common—
wealth, with bowed head, to-day puts on
the Weeds of mourning. At an appropri-
ate time, and in the early futrrrc, I will
ask the Senate to afford to his friends an
opportunity to pay their tribute to his
memory.
There was an unusually large attend-
ance of Senators present in the chamber
and of spectators in the galleries this
morning when the opening prayer was
offered by the chaplain. Mr. Beck’s desk
and chair were covered with black crepe,
and a feeling of solemnity seemed to per-
vade the chamber. The chaplain made a
feeling allusion to the “shadow Of death”
under which the Senate met.
In his prayer this morning the chaplain
made feeling reference to the sudden
death of Senator Beck, Speaking of the
deceased as a man large in understanding,
schooled by work, ripe in experience,
dauntless in courage, kindly by nature
and habit, whose patriotism was unsullied,
his integrity and honor above suspicion,
the dedication of whose days and nights,
powers of mind and body to the common
weal were absolute.
PERSONALS.
Representative Simonds, of Hartford,
honored himself and his state by the able
and manly fight he made in the House
last Friday for the international copyright
bill. - .
Minister Palmer has sailed for home,
and it is not thought he will return to
Spain. The ex-senator was credited with
designs on the Michigan gubernatorial
chair, but after leaving Madrid, en route
home, his only living relative and heir, a
neice, took pneumonia and suddenly died.
This has so overwhelmned the aged states-
man with grief that he writes. his friends

here that he has no further ambition in
life for public position. Before sailing for
Spain he stated to your correspondent that
his appointment as minister to Spain was
a complete surprise to him, and that he
should go out only for a sort Of pleasure
trip for rest, but that no human power
could make him remain there for more
than a year. What sad and numerous
bereavements have overwhelmed our pub-
lic men both at home and abroad the past
year.

Lewis, of Bridgeport, who have been
spending a few weeks here sight-seeing,

The immortal Barnum’s “greatest show
on earth” is to exhibit here Wednesday
and Thursday, May 14th and 15th. The
advent of Barrrum’s circus here creates
far more excitement than the opening of a
session of congress. Ethiopia especially
never stretches forth her hands and her"
heads in such innumerable multitudes
as when this greatest of all shows
gives its spectacular street parade here.
It seems as if our “colored friends and
brethren” come up out of the ground by 2
the millions on these occasions.
Erva B. Silliman and wife and Miss Hat-
tie Earnes of Bridgeport, are here.

Through the J ohnstown Flood»
The country has been flooded
unreliable catch-penny books about the
Johnstowu calamity. All of them have
been written with an eye single to the
dollar without regard to historical truth
and a systematic arrangement of facts. ‘
W'e can now announce to our readers that
the long-felt universal demand at last is
met through the publication of this meri-
torious work by Rev. D. J. Beale, D. D.,
which, in price, ($2.00 a copy in best
English cloth, enamel and gold side and
back), is within easy reach Of even the
poor, and at the same time will form a
very attractive and Valuable addition to
any family library. This important work
has been prepared during months of pa-
tient toil and careful investigation of all
docunrentary and personal sources by a
man best qualified tO frrruish an accurate
and efficient history Of theappalling flood.
The leading men of the nation were unan-
imous in a call for ajtruc delineation of the
facts in the case, not colored and mislead-
ing in sensational swash. Rev. David J.
Beale, for six years a resident pastor of
Johnstown, and superintendent of the
morgues after the drsaster,above all others
was the one eminently fitted and chosen
to perform this laborious work, and be
accomplished it in a most masterly manner.
The work certainly is a standard produc-
tion and should find a ready sale. Rev.
F. B. Crrnz, an ordained German minister
and, three years prior to the flood, a resi-
dent of the ill-stricken city, Iras undertaken
to canvass this town and surrounding
places, and as he lost all he had, his
posrtion as professor Of German in the
high school included, will appear more
justified in his determination to earn a
a living and recuperate from his losses in
offering the book to our citizens, than
agents not. connected with the story. But
aside from all charitable reflections the
book is well worth the small sum it sells
for, and, as the clergy Of our town readily
and heartily endorse it, there can be no
fear of a doubtful investment. Orders
may be left at Pinnco’s book store, or by
a postal card to Rev. F. B. Cunz, Box 557,
South Norwalk, Conn.

The Girl Who Helps Her Mother.
There are girls who paint and girls who play
And girls who dance wrth grace,
Add girls who steal our hearts away
With charms of' form and face ;
Brit there’s a'girl whom I respect
Much more than any other,
And as a wife I shall select
The girl who helps her mother.
Although it may be out of style,
She grants her mother’s wishes,
Nor does she idle all the while
Her ma is washing dishes ; ,
She has a kindly, loving way
For parent, sister, brother;
She proves a blessing every day,
The girl who helps her mother.
She may not read the latest trash
Nor sigh for a. flirtation,
She may not care to make a mash, -
Nor pine for a sensation ;
Such lives as hers with grace abound
And love for one another,
She scatters sunshine all around—
The girl who helps her mother.
