walnut coffin, and two beautiful floral

ing friends.

large number of people, including over
two hundred members of the Moral

organization the deceased was an honor>
ed member. Six of the members acted

A LETTER FROM THE LATE EX-
PRESIDENT BUCHANAN-HiSU Desire FOR
VjndicdtloR.-Th following letter from
the late ex-President Buchanan, written
after the close of the war and about two
years before his death, was addressed to
the Hon, Daniel Sturgeon, a former Cni-
ted States Senator from Pennsylvania.
and at one time colleague of Mr.. Bu-
chanan in the Senate. 1t is valuable as
showing the writer's sensativeness under
the adverse criticism that had been pass
ed upon his administration in connection
with the breaking out of the late war /:
"Whedttdnd, near Lancaster, 23d
April, 1S66.-My Dear Sir: Your favor
of the goth has afforded me heartfelt
since we were first acquent.' l have
always inquired for your health when
ever the opportunity offered, and was
always happy to learn what your letter
confirms, that you enjoy a vigorous, and
healthy, and green old age, and that you
have united yourself with the church.
May you live many years in this happy
condition. | am seventy five years Of age
this Gay, and, thank God, enjoy as good
health as l can reasonably expect at my
period of life. An American friend, re
siding in France, who is curious on such
matters, writes that am the only suryi>
wing member of the House of Represen-
tatives as it was on the first Monday of
December, 1921, when L first entered
Congress; and although have not ex-
amined for myself, he is doubtless correct
Truly we both live sin the midst of pos
terity.'
81 entirely agree with you as to the
great Importance of the approaching
gubernatorial election, and am sratifed
10 learn that you intend to exert youl
influence in the contest. 1t affords me
satisfaction to know that you are pleas
ed with my book. l never doubted that
the people would at last do me Justice,
and although 1 may not live to witness
it, shall die in this hope This has
rendered me comparatively Tranquil and
content in retirement and all the abuse
OF which | have been the object.
81 concur with you in the hope that,
though we may never meet again o. this
side of the grave, We may meet again in
that blessed region where the wicked
cease from troubling and the weary are
at rest.
"With my warmest wishes for your
welfare, l remain, sincerely your friend,

SERGEANT-AT-ARMS FRENCH TO
BE REMOVED,
New York Sun Special.

new YORK sun Special,
WAsHINGToN, December lit
seems likely that Sergeant-at-Arms
French will be removed after the Senate
reconvenes. The caucus committee, while
expressing no opinion, simply reported
the facts as it found them, and they are
deemed sufficient for his removal. There
is some doubt as TO what course the
democratic senators will pursue in the
event of new election. Assistant Ser
geant-at,Arms Christy has made himself
very agreeable to the democratic side,
and it is said some of the democrats will
be in favor of supporting him against the
nominee of the republican caucus. This,
however, is not probable. The friends
OF n. g. Ordway say that he will get
two-thirds of the republican strength in
the caucus.

PROPOSED REVIVAL OF THE INCOME TAX
The argument made in favor of an in
come tax is that the Eastern and seaboard
Mlddle states now pay far less internal
tax than the Northwestern and the South
ern Middle States; that property and pro
ductlon are overtaxed in these latter COM
pared with the burdens borne by the form
er, and that Gn income tax would equalizt
the load, western and southern mem ber.
| of the House very generally favor an in
| come tax, and the measure is especially
strong among the Northwestern member
who say that government bonds are almos
all owned in the seaboard States; tha
| these are exempted from taxation and tina
an income tax is the only way to reach tn,
