BERLIN, May 2s 1881.
Mr. EDITOR 1t is amusing to see how
men will suddenly interest themselves in
times of political excitement, and rack
their brains to find a mean word to throw
at man who they think is going down
hill. There is hardly boy ten years old in
the country who does not have his opinion
on the Conkling- Plat resignation, and who
is not vying with his kind in finding ths
neanest way to express that opinion. Edi-
tors, who at other times are content to let
politics and public men alone, suddenly
rise to the dignity of the occasion and slip
in pithy editorial to make their readers be-
lieve that they are keeping Hp with the
times.
Everybody knows all about it, everybody
knows just exactly what would have been
the duty of the New York Senators much
better than they knew it themselves. Sena-
tor Conkling for years has stood at the top
of the Republican lader. not only of his
state bat of his country. His ability as a
leader and his worth as statesman were
unquestioned ; and it is only now the possi-
bility of his being Inundated by plotting
politicians, who are jealous OF his power
that calls cut all this mockery on his char
acter.
A few months ago when Conkling barred
his arm and went into the campaign he was
o young god among u.s. but 'how are the
mighty fallen nr' Nothing is now too mean
to attribute to him. He is childish, he is
coward and q rascal, he is weak, simple and
ignorant, and uses bad grammar. And yet
if Conkling were to be reelected it would
be all right. There is no feeling in the peo-
pies hearts against the man because of any
thing he has ever done or omitted to do. 1t
is only the jealousy in the hearts of few
aspirants that will have to be carried ont in
order to set things right with the people
again. If he should be reelected :this little
episode will soon have been forgotten.
Nothing will remain except the conscious
ness in many minds of having made them
selves foolishly idiotic, which ought to re-
main to teach enthusiasts much needed
lesson in discretion.

To THE PUBLIc.-This community will
not have forgotten the severe bereavement,
Mr.. Peter Miller, of Somerset township,
sustained last winter, in the death of seven
children from diphtheria. Ny object in
calling attention to it at this late day, is TO
correct some false statements that have been
made and circulated concerning his treat
ment of his family in their sickness. II has
been said that during their sickness there
was but one stove in the house, in conse-
auence OF which the children partly froze,
and further that the sick, the dying and the
dead were all kept in the same room. /
deem it but just to Mr. Miller to say thus
publicly that these reports are false and orig
| mated with few evil-minded persons who
do not live far from him, and who never
came near to lend helping hand, nor to Of
fer word of sympathy in their trouble
There was stove in every room where
there was sick child. The dead were re-
moved 10 another room as soon as possible.
While il is to be regretted that as many as
four sick children were lying in one room
II was the best that could be done under the
circumstances II may not be generally
known that every member of the family, in
Guiding Mr.. Miller, was sick at the same
time that he was the only one able to be
ont of bed. and feeble as lac was, he was
Obliged to wait on all the rest. Had the
children been removed to different rooms
they could have had no attention whatever
am confident that all who were present
at any time during the sickness of the chill
dren know that everything was done for
them that affection could suggest. am
satisfied that these reports, and others not
enumerated. can betraced TO few corrupt
persons, who are to be pitied for their weak
ness. Living as convenient as they do to
Mr.. Miller. and at no time Offering assist
ance or sympathy to the suffering family, it
would have been greatly to their credit to
have kept silent.
Interested persons can ascertain the truih
of the matter by inquiring of those who
were regular visitors at the house during
the sickness. A. fkiENp-

The courts of Great Britain have de-
cided that when vessel goes out of her
course TO save another vessel which she
finds in distress, and is lost, her insurance
is forfeited and her owners are liable for
the freight that is lost or injured. But
she may go out of her course to save life.
Hence it is assumed that when the
Cunard steamer Marathon lately found
the steamer Bath City in distress, and
offered to take off her officers and crew,
it was all her Captain was bound to do.
The officers declined to leave the Bath
City, and the Marathon declined to tow
her into st. Johns, as requested. Had
he done so, and had his steamer been
lost, the Cunard Steamship Company
would have been liable for her cargo,
and they would have forfeited their in
surance. The Bath City is undoubtedly
lost, with all on board-thirty-tw off.
GERS and memo passengers. The Cap
tain of the Marathon has been blamed
for not towing her into harbor. But he
was short of coal, and took no risks ex.
cept to offer to take off her crew, which
was declined.

''The rapidity with which construction

celled in any of the States of the Union,
the railroad system of Texas now vying
with that of New England. In very
few years, it is reasonable to anticipate,
Texas will be covered by perfect net
work of railroads. At the present time
the railroad mileage of Texas is perh APPS
not short of five thousand miles. 1t is
hard to realize such results as these,
events and enterprises having followed
upon each other with such rapidity of
execution"

cratic caucus reafirming the platforms
Of 1876 and $780, The Vicksburg Miss
Herald DEM which has been calling
HIM to strict account for this action,
says: 'Mr. Hooker has taken the pO-
sition that the Protectionists are his
friends, or that he is opposed to the
agitation of an issue that can no longer
be avoided. In either attitude he has
betrayed the interests of the cotton States
to serve the ProtectiOnists Almost
every article consumed by the cotton
States is taxed to enrich the manufac-
turers, and this infamous system re-
ceives the active support of Hon. Chas.
E. Hooker. He is a loyal representa-
tive of this great cotton-prOdUcing State
indeed. If the question is presented
fairly to the citizens of this State, the
high tariff policy would not receive one

even could not be deceived by it, and if

The House committee.

The power welded in shaping legisla-
ton by the leading committees OF both
Houses of Congress is well known. The
time has gone by when the vote of either
House could be materially influenced by
flights of oratory OF an array of facts
presented on the floor The major part
of the work of legislation is now done
in the committee rooms, and bills as
reported by the committees are passed
with but tri1ing changes.
The importance of having all classes
of the people and the various portions of
the country with their varied interests
properly represented In the committees
is manifest Yet an analysis of Speaker
Keifer's work in this particular will
show how disregardful he has been of
his duty in the premises.
The majority of the influential places
have been given to representatives from
New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio. In
some instances able Republicans, who had
the courage of their convictions on various
mooted topics, have been showed aside,
and fedgling statesmen, who will make
first class hacks, have been preferred.
So, too, with the foremost Democrats,
few of whom have been treated with the
consideration to which their ability and
experience entitled them. Mr.. Randall,
Mr.. Hewitt, Mr. Holman, Mr.. Mills, MIR.
Blount aud other prominent Democrats
have been degraded or ignored.
The Radical programme appears to
have been to Elk things" so that there
should be no slip up in any of their
schemes, and Keifer, in the performance
of the work marked out for him, has
shown himself a complete master OF
machine politics. 1t only needs that his
rulings shall be consistent with the work
he has already done to render what is
yet to be completed perfect success.
The Radical majority is so slender, and
there are so few able leaders to direct 1t,
that trickery had to be employed for all
it was worth. Keifer in this line has
done all that could be required of him.
Yet, however he may have pleased his
associates, he has not invited and can
not expect to command from the oppo-
sition the courtesy and kindness that his
incapacity requires. There are lively
times ahead for him.

Living in the Home of the Little Sis
tiers of the Poor, in the outskirts of Bal
timore, says dispatch to the Philadel-
phia Press, is an old lady named Mrs
Johanna Eastway, who is proved by
irrefragable evidence to be the mother
of Henry NJ. Stanley, the world-re-
nowned African explorer. Mrs. Eastway
was born in county Cork, Ireland, nearly
20 years ago. Her father was butcher
named Hauckens, and lived until she
had grown to womanhood. She married
Captain Henry Eastway, a seaman, in
1887, and soon after the couple left
Great Britain and went to Baltimore.
