The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1882-10-26

The readers Of TIE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
do not need to be told that Senator Beck, Of
Kentucky, is the inyeterate foe Of The Union
soldier lie is the man who led the attack
on the arrears bill, and denounced the whole
pension system as "honeycombed with
fraud" If any man is sorely in need OF
moral regeneration, it is Senator Beck, of
Kentucky. But how is that regeneration to
he effected? We can think Of but one way.
and that is the remedy suggested in these
columns some weeks ago by one of our sub
scribers-t0 send him THE NATIONAL TRIB-
UNE. through which he can obtain a knowI-
edge Of the exact truth concerning the rights
Of cur ex-soldieTs and, if 50 disposed, profit
10y it, Ii is possible, Of course, that Senator
Beck has reached such stage of moral
blindness that he no longer can distinguish
truth from falsehood but the experiment
seems to Us, 1T least, worth trying. In order
however, that lie may not imagine that The
NATIONAL TRIBUNE is sent to him as mat
ter Of compliment, one Of our correspondents
thinks il best that the cost should be de-
frayed by our ex-soldiers themselves by one
cent contributions, and in 4 recent issue we
invited subscriptions for that purpose. AS

York to take action looking to the stricter
enforcement OF the United States statutes
declaring that, other things being equal
preference should be given to ex Union

admission by TIE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
that the present administration in its ap-

regarded these Just aud equitable provisions
of law. We hasten to remove that impress
sion, not because THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
has any selfish interest in either defending
or attacking the policy of President Arthur
or his Cabinet, but simply for the reason
that it loves the truth above all things and
is not willing that opinions should be as

The City's Dumping Grounds.

There was such cry raised here last
summer by the citizens. about the city not
havinga dumping ground for filth aud dead
animals, that one would have come
70 the conclusion that suitable
grounds would have been secured
by now, but not 80. The filth and
dead animals are being thrown into
the Trinity river. At least one hundred
dogs that have been shot in the pound
within the last few days, now lie piled up
below the waters of the turbid Trinity to
rot and poison the water that the stock be-
low the city must depend upon. The river
has been converted into a dumping ground,
and is the place where the filth of the CITY
Is deposited. 1t does seem that such a vast
amount oft thrown into the stream would
poison the fish at least.

AFTER A DETECTIVE.
How Reporter Got Hold OF the Wrong
Man

On the 18th the name OF II. NJ. Klein,
Louisville, Kentucky, appeared on the reg
lister of the Grand Windsor hotel, and an
other glance disclosed the fact that
the clerk had docketed the gentleman for
room No. so, which he still occupies. Ever
since his arrival he has had large number
of callers of a class that aroused the curl
osity of the reporters, who began to make
inquiries as TO who Mr.. Klein was and
what was the object of his visit here. The
visitors when questioned We're as mum, and
apparently as ignorant as man who had
Just Joined the kuklux khan. The reporters
became somewhat excited, and each
one determined to ferret out who
this mysterious Mr.. Klein was.
A HERALD reporter sent his card
aloft, requesting an interview, and mes
sage came back that the gentleman was in
bed, but that as soon as he could dress he
would be down in the office. That's
him." said the bell boy who had carried up
his card, pointing to a slim man who looked
as though he had been designed for gov
eminent telegraph pole, and the re-
porter at once introduced himself and
applied the pump-making, however, u
few predatory remarks by way of apology
fer enquiring into his business, and trying
TO excuse himself on the grounds that he
had duty he owed to his paper and the
general public. The gentleman said cer-
tainly heknew how twas (which he didn't,
and stated that while he had nothing that
was calculated to interest the general pub
lie, at the same time he had nothing to
withhold from it. 1.-The public is great
thing with newspapers" he added. The
reporter agreed with him. "Well' he con.
tlnued, ~ have come here to look around
with q view of starting a sheep rancho
This did not pan out worth
cent to the reporters speculations, and he
said, Now, come; ] am ON to you. You
are detective in the service of the govern.
ment, are you not?' He denied it, and the
reporter insisted on it, and the party was
growing red in the face, and getting excited
and emphatic in his expressions, when the
clerk called the reporter and told him that
he was after the wrong man, as the boy had
made q mistake in the number Of the room,
and taken the note to the wrong man. The
genuine Mr.. Klein was then sought for, but
lie was out, Yet, enough is learned to
know that Mr.. Klein is NJ. G.. Bowers
the government detective who has in the
past turned several very clever tricks in
this state in tracing and capturing offenders
against the government, He is here look
ing after some Federal officials against
whom complaints have been made.
