CITIZENS.
A local poet also celebrates the
flight of this law-breaker from JUS
tice, in a poem too long to be repro
duced, but whose introduction runs
thus nervOusly:
This is a rhyme
About man
Who was brought to time
By the battering ram
OF the Commonwealth.
He wanders now in distant cline
For the good of his health
Poor, lawless McElroyl AS he
zigzags from place to place, he keeps
repeating that old fable of the liq-
uorites and their organs, "Prohibi-
ton don't prohibit" But he knows
better He has the Cain mark on
himself that it does prohibit. The
Elizabeth Herald, in closing some
comments on the case says, "Prohi-
bition does prohibit"
A citizen Of Elizabeth, and an
abiding friend Of the great cause
Mr.. w. T. Mcconnell, thus closes a
note to us on the subject: eve
wish it put on record that as far as
this borough is concerned, 'Prohi-
bition does prohibit; : and we wish
the experiment might be made
throughout the entire State and
country"
Amen. Let Elizabeth be put
with Williamsburg in the niche of
honor. These Allegheny county
boroughs make it hot for the viola
tors of their prohibitory law'-Pitts-

WAsHINGToNS FAMILY.
Later Investigations ms 20 its Origin-Tie
Original Nnme- Wnsh clothes.

good deal has been written about the origin OF
the Washington family in England. Later invcs-
tgation rather tends to corroborate the views OF
Jered Sparks, more than forty years ago, that the
Washington family came from Northampshire,
England.
This county lies between the birthplace of
shnksperc, in Warwick, and that Of Cromwell,
which Is in Huntington, and Northampton, aud is
about sixty miles north OF London.
The tradition in Wnshington's family was that
his ancestry came from Yorkshire. After Wash
ington became President the Garter King nj: Arms
wrote to him asking for family particulars. WASH
respectful lack OF interest in the investigation.
The man of heraldry, however, continued to
search, aud satisfied himself that the first of the
family emgrating TO America were two brothers
from Northampshire, and that their ancestors
came from Lancashire.
Mr.. Sparks in later years, ransacked the papers
lett by the king-at- Arms, and found that about
fifty years after the discovery of America by Co
Ium6us Lawrence Washington was mayor OF
Northampton.
At sulgravc, in Northampton County, is a tomb
on which is inscribed: Here lyeth the bodies OF
Lawrence Washington, gent, and Ann, his wife,
iSsi * EHome he had ISSUE s0"S and daughters
About five generations after this sister of VII
Hers, Duke of buckingham, married Sir Will inin
washington. Two Of Sir William S brothers, IL is
said, emigrated to Virginia in 1867, and one of
them was alleged 10 be the great grandfather OF
General Washington. Washington himself wrote
10 the King at Arms In 1892:
This is n subject to which confess have paid
but very little attention. My time has been so
much occupied in the busy and active scenes Of
life. from an early period Of it, that but small
portion OF 1t could he devoted to researches Of this
nature, even II my incliuations aud circumstances
should have prompted TO the inquiry but the
arms inclosed In yOhr letter the same us are
held by the family here"
The Washington brothers, 1t Is believed, emf
grated to America during CrUmwell's PrOtcctOrate.
The only important Washington IN English his
tory was named Sir Henry, who defended the city
lGi6.
The word Washington was originally, II is said,
Dedwesynton; more probably it was derived from
some little village where good many poor
women washed clothes, and which, therefore,
took the names from the big-b bugs critically rid
ing through the piacp, aud perhaps from some
of these same Industrious lauudresses came the
family, which the Kinss.at alarms weic trying so
hard to identify with their nobility. .-Gdths Paris
Letter,
National Republican., 1882-09-01
1891.

We are indebted to the New York Sun
for its mention, on two occasions, of the
earnest desire of this paper that the Ma
tional Republican Committee shall extend
its next call for q convention to all who
choose to cooperate with the Republi-
cans in resisting Bourbon restoration. If
the San will lend its great influence in
this direction it need look no further for
precedent than the call for the National
Republican Convention of 1876 The
writer of this penned the phrase in that
call which he now desires to see substan-
TALLY incorporated in the call of 1884. 1t
invited Republicans and all 1Cho arould CO.
operate aoith them to choose the delegates
who should nominate the candidate. 1t
is good enough just as it is, but would be
still more emphatic if addressed to call
who are opposed to the restoration of the
Bourbon Democratic party to power"
Every Republican in the country would
approve that, despite the advice of the
Bourbons, who think the Republican
party can only keep itself intact by re-
jecting good allies.

A Strong Nomination.

The Hon. William Heilman, of Indiana
has been compelled to accept renomi-
nation at the hands Of the Republicans
of his district, very much against his own
inclination. He desired to attend wholly
to his private business, but the appeals of
his party were too strong to be disre-
garded, and he has accepted the nomina-
ton rendered him by the convention.
private dispatch to this city says that
his nomination was made amid great
enthusiasm. Mr.. Heilman is not only
exceedingly popular in his own dis
trict, but here in Washington he is most
highly esteemed in official circles. His
recommendations at the departments are
greatly respected because never care
lessly made and his vote in Congress is
always reliable for the best interests OF
the country. His nomination settles the
question as to the First Indiana District,
which with any other candidate might
have been more hopefully contested by
the Democracy.

A Ridiculous Failure,

Mr.. c. B. Lewis, otherwise known as an. Quad"

1.-THE Lime Kiln Club" A ll-kuown critic
says of it: "There is not sufficient vitality or
vigor, or motive in it to make of it fully devel-
oped play. The dramatic essence is lacking. The
production and the criticisms upon IL have
given rise 10 considerable comment, some of which
have been pertinent and some impertnent: but
when everything has been said all the criticism
may be narrowed down to the statement that a
meritorious drama cannot be made OF elements
essentially common place and peurile. The in
dividunlity of all the characters must be clearly
defined, their existence must be purposeful and
helpful to the development of the plot the Incl
dents ought to carry them along in the direction

of their thoughts must have touch of the ideal

General Arthur's INTEGRITY.

In the sketch of President Arthur in the Journal
of Thursday, it was stated that when he became
quartermaster- general (of New York; he was poor,
but when his term of office expired he was poorer
still. We are told that he had opportunities to
make millions unquestioned. Contracts larger
than the world had ever seen were Mt his disposal

transportation of hundreds OF thousands of men.

rity that have known instances where he could
have made thousands of dollars legitimately, and
yet refused to do 1t on the ground that be was n
public officer, and meant to be, like C@sars wife
above suspicion. His own words to me-" adds
this friend, in regard to this matter amply illus
trates his character: If had misappropriated
five cents, and OH walking down town saw two
men talking together, would imagine they were
talking of my dishonesty and the very thought
would drive me mad'" In view of n recent trans
action in our city which has brought inexpreSsi-
bic sadness to many hearts, how significant are
those words, and how worthy to be written, as
with diamond, on the hearts of all men, young
or old, who occupy positions Of pecuniary respon.
