National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1881-01-18

1T falls to the lot of Washington people
to often peruse those sad pages in hu-
man history which tell of wasted oppor-
tunities or a blighted life. But few of
these stories are more touching than that
connected with the death of the old gem
tleman who is to be buried to-day, and
who was known to local history as the
"man in the dome,'' he having for some
years had stand for the sale of various
small articles in the dome of the Capitol
building. He was a character in his way,
perhaps misunderstood and unappre
ciated by many, but by those who knew
him well counted a genial, whole-souled
man, ever ready to accommodate, and
doing many acts of unostentatious kind
ness. a tragic domestic history, which it
is unnecessary to recall, brought him to
Washington, and, from greater aspirations,
he finally accepted this as offeringa chance
for living, and perhaps having in mind
Goethe's words: "On every height there
lies repose," suggesting a possibility of
peace to troubled mind. At any rate,
he always seemed TRANQUILITY cheerfh,
and would often remark, with quiet hu-
NOR, that he had attained to the highest
station in life, having the greatest men
in the Nation under him. He leaves a
wife and family, from whom he was sep
arated, but in his will he has remem-
bered them by leaving to each some
singular articles of Uertu, which he had
carefully collected and boarded, and which
indeed seemed to be his ruling passion.
His connections stand very high, socially,
one brother being the millionaire drug
gist, Wyeth, of Philadelphia, and another
a Judge of district court III the South.

General Garfield is mentioned by the Boston
Herald as still not only loaded with mail that no
three men can handle, but stream of callers flows
between Mentor depot and his residence. Some
really admire the General and cannot keep away

He treats all with careful courtesy, but even few

To recapitulate: A three per cent. loan

have the chances to redeem it, is objec-

The Funding Bill.

We are perplexed at the sudden timid-
ity of our Republican Representatives.
Only a few months ago we were exulting
over the financial achievements of the
| Nation The success of resumption, the
buoyancy of our credit, the eagerness OF
the world to buy our securities, the favor
able balance of trade due to healthy de-
velopment and industrial confidence
rather than to good crops here and the
poor crops in Europe, as claimed by
the croakers-all these things were the
marvels of the age How changed. We
are called upon to provide bond at rate
of interestand length of time which will
command par fora volume of $3.50, 100000.
And To- we find our illustrious Secretary
of the Treasury, under whom so much
has been accomplished, leading on a
panic as if our credit were on the wane !;
while bewildered and frightened Con-
gressmen stampede as if possessed of in
formation unknown to the general pub
lie. What screw is loose? What disas-
ter impends? How comes it that the
ll1Ol Y AASi W M
the occasion than is usually found in
party fresh from disastrous defeat
What bond now out is not selling at a
price which makes its interest less than
three and half per cent. on the in
vestment? Why do we find the thought
entertained of putting a bond out bearing
a rate of interest higher than can be real
lied on any existing bond at the mar
ket price? Has the election Of General
Garfield hurt our credit? Is the pros
pect of Republican ascendancy in both
branches of Congress depressing one to
those who have money to loan?
We can now enter the market and buy
four and four and half per cent. bonds
at price which will make the actual saw
ing of interest equal to three and an
eighth to three and a quarter per cent
Why, then, do we issue short-time three
per cent. in the hope of being able bye
and by to call it in at par? Why do We
provide so anxiously for class of bonds
on which We can, by purchase, reduce
three per cent. indebtedness, when We
all the time have a market in which we
can by purchase reduce an Indebtedness
bearing more than three per cent. on the
market price? Would any prudent man
buy in his three per cent. notes in prefer
ence to his three and an eighth or three
and a quarter notes? And yet our Demo-
cratic friends who vote for short-time
three per cent can be governed by no
other thought. Why not make a long
three per cent?
A man desirous of making a three per
cent. investment would always prefer the
longest time bond. Make the three per
cent. the longest and it will keep the
four and four and a half bonds below the
premium which will yield simply three
per cent. 1t is entirely certain that by
issuing a long three per cent. we can
always buy in our higher rate bonds,
sooner maturing, at larger saving of in
terest than three per cent.

healing on its wings it comes to the care
