EDITORIAL LETTER.
WASHIXGTON, D. 0., July 21, ’90.
DEAR GAZETTEz—Tlle Senate, after a
continuous session of over twelve hours,
passed the sundry civil appropriation hill
just before 9 o’clock Saturday evening,
and adjourned till to-day, when the tariff
bill will have the right Of way over all
other matters, except appropriation bills,
and will be taken up and read, but it is
likely to be several clays yet before it
receives serious consideration in its details.
The long contest over the sundry civil bill
was caused mainly by the large appropri-
ation made to carry on the artcsian well
experiments inaugurated by Professor
Powell for irrigating the arid western
deserts. Much severe criticism was in-
dulged in Of the professor’s methods of
securing appropriations for his highly
scientific rather than practical schemes,
Senator Stewart openly charging him with
lobbying his enormous appropriations
through Congress. Among other import-
ant items was one for the purchase of the
Washington base ball grounds, a full
square near the government printing
office, for the purpose of erecting a new
building for that purpose, the Old one,
and now the largest printing establish-
ment in the world, having become entire-
ly inadequate in size and also unsafe from
over weighting and crowding. Nearly a
million is also appropriated to purchase
the square just north of that recently
secured for the new library, for a supreme
court building, and to accommodate the
executive officers and business of the
President’s mansion. Had Congress pur-
chased this square when it did the other
for the library nearly a half million of
dollars would have been saved to the
treasury, but that isn’t the way the aver-
age Congress transacts the public business.
In the House the “original package”
bill was vigorously discussed for several
days and, late Saturday night, an agree-
ment was reached to close debate and
take a vote on the measure to—day. It is
a new departure in national legislation,
made necessary by the recent novel and
much discussed decision of the U. S.
supreme court to the effect that the rum
seller could take into and sell in any
prohibition state intoxicating liquors,
providing such stimulants were in the
‘Original package,” we. The temperance
members of the House, and there are
many of them, had a fine opportunity to
explode their prohibition oratory, which
was done volubly, vigorously and effect-
ively.
snertsrxnr BLAINE.
The Washington Post of Saturday gives
the following half way endorsement of
ill: renewed rumor that llll'. Blaine in-
tends retiring from the cabinet:
“In speaking to a member Of the House
foreign affairs committee recently Mr.
Blaine indicated that he could be of more
advantage to the republican party and the
country at large outside of the cabinet
than asa member of it. Mr. Blaine re-
gards as his most successful work of his
long public career the result attained by
the Pane-American Conference. The work
of that body was shaped mainly by the
hand of Mr. Blaine, audit looked to a new
era of commerce and relationship between
this country and the Spanish—American
republics. The conclusions reached by
that conference are well known, but Mr.
Blaine has been exceedingly disappointed
by the fact that the two Houses of Con-
gress have been careless and indifferent in
the matter of carrying out the suggestions
contained in the recent messages trans-
mitted by the President on those subjects.
Now Mr. Blaine contemplates, it is said
by his friends. the idea of cutting loose
entirely from official restraints, poising his
knightly lance once more, and dashing
down the cheering line flying the pennon
of recipu'ocity. 'rle believes that he can
lift the party out ofits traditionaiadhesion
to a high protective policy. This, in
brief, is the position which Mr. Blaine is
regarded as occupying. If the opportun-
itytloes not seem favorable he will not
resign. otherwise they regard the event
as probable.”
scIEerrIc.
On Friday afternoon, while the Western
Union connection between this city and
New York was broken by the fire at their
Broadway building, the Washington cor-
respondent cf the Brooklyn Eagle utilized
the long—distance telephone for the trans-
mission Of his matter. Over one column
of news matter was sent in this manner
and it was remarkably free from errors.
Water Commissioner Elliot has sent in
his annual report in reference to the con-
dition of the Washington water—works.
It contains important suggestions as to
the best methods of improving the quality
of the Potpmac river water in use here.
Potomac water is wholesome, but oftimes
is muddy and unpalatable from lack of
facilities for settling. Colonel Elliot’s
suggestions Of a method of ridding the
water of clay and other impurities in the
course of its passage from the river to the
mouths of consumers deserves thoughtful
consideration. The best water—works
expert is said to be the scientist in charge
of the Baltimore works, who has frequent-
ly been summoned here in consultation.
His method of securing a service of water
in the pureststate possible is to adjust a
floating pipe in the middle of the reservoir,
adjusted telescopically and automatically
to floatafew inches below the surface,
and Into and down which all the water
entering the surface pipes must flow. This
secures ariation and freedom from the
usual pollution settling at the bottom Of
reservoirs, etc. Thishint ought to be
made serviceable by the two Norwalk'
water-works.
The Fish Commission will send a paity
of experts to Connecticut within a few
days to cruise along the shores of Long
Island Sound and further investigate the
star-fish destruction to our oyster beds
and determine upon the best method for
destroying the fatal enemy to this succu-
lent bivalve.
At the recent session of the National
Academy of Sciences, held here, Professor
Langley, the secretary of the Smithsonian
Institution, read a very interesting paper
“0n the cheapest light.” He spoke of the
great waste of heat required to produce
light, in some cases the percentage of loss
being as high as 99 per cent. He said
that nature has a secret by which she
avoids this waste, and cited the fire—fly,
where light is produced without any very
perceptible heat. The phosphorescent
light in nature is an exception, he said, to
the general rule of waste. He gave the
results of a research made by him of the
fire—fly light, and said that there seemed
to be nOIeason why this process could
not be imitated. It was the most econ—
omic process. Under the present meth—
ods of making gas, the waste. at a. very
low estimate, was one hundred times
more than was saved.
NORWALK POST OFFICE.
The following misinformation
recently and prominently published in a
Norwalk paper:
In March Congressman Miles selected
B. S. Keith as Mr. Golding’s successor,
Postmaster-General Wanamaker approved
the selection and laid Mr. Keith’s name
before President Harrison.
Nothing of the kind ever occurred.
On account of the source from which the
falsehood emanated no attempt was made
to contradict it. But the Record Of July
12th not only copies the misstatement but
gives the following private letter sent by
Senator Hawley to Mr. B. S. Keith as a
corroboration :—
VV as
SENATE CHAMBER,
WASHINGTON, March 14, 1890.
My Dear Sir .'
Mr. Miles having selected you, and Mr.
Wanamaker haying approved and laid the
name before the President, I cannot
Imagine that the contest will be carried
farther-unless somebody should try to
show that you lack capaCIty or character
and that won’t happen. _
When the name comes here I Will see
that it is promptly acted upon.
Sincerely yours.
Jos. R. HAWLEY.
Mr. B. 8. Keith.
As Mr. Miles, whose sole duty it is to
nominate pcstmasters in the Fourth dis—
trict, had never selected or endorsed any
other than Carmi G. Hubbell, General
Hawley was shown the above letter and
asked for an explanation of it. He states
that he received a letter (from Mr. Keith
to the effect that he (Keith) had been
selected for postmaster at Norwalk by
Mr. Miles, and that his name had been
approved by the Postmaster—General and
sent to the President, but had not been
acted on. General Hawley says that he
accepted Mr. Keith’s statements as cor—
rect, and his letter Of reply was simply
responsive to it and sent ofl‘ without
bringing the matter to the attention of
Congressman Miles. It would now seem
how he came to be so totally misinformed
as to make such an incorrect statement to
General Hawley.
Mr. Miles’ statement is that be endorsed
the petition of Mr. Hubbell for the reason
that his petition was more largely and
infinentially signed than all other appli—
cants combined, and he felt it his duty to
comply with the wishes of the largest
number of the republicans of Norwalk
and that he so wrote Mr. Keith. Mr. K.’s
statement is now in order.
BEHRING SEA connssroxnnxcn.
It is stated at the state department this
morning that the coriespondence on the
Behring sea trouble will not be. sent to the
Senate until the latter part of the week,
because of Mr. Blaine’s desire that it shall
include several recent communications to
Lord Salisbury Oil the subject.
nasxnrrrcr.
The friends of the bankruptcy bill are
confident that it will be passed on Thurs-
day. A great deal of hard work has been
done in the interest of this measure, and
a careful estimate of the vote by its friends
gives it a majority.
PERSONALS.
Charles A. Reynolds, of Norwalk, has
just received letters patent through the
patent agency of George B. Byington for
what is probably the best device for mov-
ing folding doors in and out without fric~
tion, that has ever been devised. Large
numbers of such sliding doors are in use
in dwellings, factories, stores, shops and
on nearly all freight cars, and great diffi—
culty has been experienced in moving
them because of a tendency to sag. By
Mr. Reynolds’ device this is effectually
remedied, and his patent ought to result
in a fortune to the possessor.
Mrs. E. A. Barbour and her daughter
expect to return to Norwalk and spend
the month of August.
R. P. Beatty made a flying visit here
last week.
General Hawley' left here for Connecti—
cut last week for a visit to his family, but
expects to be in his seat again to—morrow.
Mrs. Senator Platt has considerably im—
proved and now sits up a portion Of the
day.
Notice of the sudden death by apoplexy
of Congressman Walker, of Missouri, was
telegraphed here Saturday.
A bill has been introduced in the House
granting a pension of $3,000 a year to the
widow of General John C. Fremont.
Charles F. Stanton has been appointed
collector of customs for the district of
Stonington.
A novel case is agitating the medical
“trust” here as it is termed by the irrev—
erent. A good, solid, entirely reputable,
but sort of old-time doctor named Strick-
ler drifted down liere__from Pennsylvania,
to be Comrade Keith’s turn to explain '
Lieutenant-Colonel Walter.
EDITOR GAZETTE :—At the time the
17th Conn. Regt. Association held its renn-
ion at Norwalk, a committee was appointed
consisting of Gen. Wm. H. Noble, 001.
Henry Huss, Major W. L. Hubbell and
Comrade A. H. Byington, to visit the
battlefield of Chancellorsville and try and
locate the grave Of our Lieut.-Col. Charles
Walter, who fell in that engagement. The
first three members of that committee left
New York on the 15th inst., and proceeded
to Virginia in fulfillment of their mission.
Comrade Byington, who visited the grave
under flag of truce a few days subsequent to
the battle, met our party at the depot at
Washington, and gave its location as in the
yard or garden in rear Of the Hatch house,
and under an apple tree, but was unable to
accompany. We reached Frederieksburg
the same evening and next morning drove
out to the old battle-field. We found the
Hatch house, the headquarters Of Gen.
Devins, and everything about it, about as it
was in May 2d, 1863, and everything looked
as natural as when we left it 27 years ago.
The tree where Col. Walter fell was gone,
as was also another apple tree under which,
then Captain, now Major Hubbell, stood at
the moment of the rebel onslaught on us.
Mr. James M. Talley, a son-in-law of the
then Mr. Hatch, now occupies the place.
At the time of the battle he was a member
of the 9th Virginia Cavalry, and was the
man who guided Stonewall Jackson through
the wilderness on that occasion. He re-
ceived us very cordially and invited us to
dinner, which was most cheerfully accepted.
We walked up the old pike to locate the
spot where Jackson came in. Then we
went down to Hazel run where so many of
our boys took a bath just prior to the fight.
We then set about the chief Object of our
visit, to locate the spot where Col. Walter
fell and was buried. After the most dilli-
gent search no trace of his remains could
be found at or near where he fell. We
learned that the bodies of most of the Union
men who fell there had been removed, and
we obtained the name of the party who
performed this work in the vicinity of the
Hatch house, and so hope to learn from
him what disposition was made of our Col-
onel’s remains. This information we shall
no doubt be able to report at the annual
reunion of our regiment on the 28th of
August next. Although for the present
unsuccessful in our eflorts to locate the
remains of Our dead commander, after a
careful survey of the battle-field, we are
more convinced than ever that instead of
Chancellorsville having been a rout and
defeat for our cause, it should have been one
of the most glorious Union victories of the
war. Had our commanding general exer-
cised the same caution,prudenee and promp-
titude of action any intelligent private
soldier in the ranks would have done,
history would have recorded a. far different
story. This fight ought to have been the
turning point of the great war and the
back-bone of the rebellion if not broken,
should have been incurably put out of joint.
