MIDDLETOWN MENTION.
Death of Respected Lady-Peaches and
Politics.


Especial correspondence of the Gazette.l
MIDDLETowN, May 10.-The interment Of
Mr.. Samuel Peacock in Forest Cemetery,
took place yesterday evening, attended by
large eoncourse of relatives and friends.
Mrs. Mary b. Hanson, highly respected
widow lady of this town, died at the age OF
50 years, on Monday at noon. Mrs. Hanson
WAS strict member of the Episcopal Church,
and her remains will be inferred at "Old
ST. Anne's" on Thursday, She leaves an only
son, Col. Joseph Hanson.
1t is conceded that there will be a pretty
fair crop of early peaches, but the later
varieties, among them the Smock, are
materially damaged, and there will
scarcely be half crop, if any at all, in this
vicinity.
Democrats here, generally, express them
selves to be very well satisfied with the
recent nominations in your city. They are
not thoroughly awakened yet to the i'm
portance of the coming campaign, but 1 sup
pose they will be all the more energetic
when once they are aroused.

ACCORDING 10 the " Y Sdn, in some
parts Of the far West, where the annual
River and Harbor bill is Of but small local
benefit, because they have so few rivers
and harbors to improve, the habit is
growing Of asking Congress TO bore arte-
sian wells. The last Congress began this
business by voting SO, 900 to lore a well
In Colorado. lie Due received the mon
ey, and spent it in digging near Fort
Lyon. He got down i50 feet before the
money was gone, and having then reached
no water, the enterprise was abandoned
Encouraged by this example, Mr.. Oury
has now introduced bill apDropriating
so, 900 for boring FIVE wells III Arizona,
while Mr.. Cassidy has brought forward an
other appropriating s100, coo for boring
two wells in Nevada Idaho and New

has aire.dy been made in this direction.
At such a rate of growth, the appropria-
tioEs for digging wells vii soon mount
iato the millions, and We shall have a
regular Artesian Well bill to share the
honors Of the River and Harbor and the
Sundry Civil bills.

The Presidents Real Title.

The 6. F. Bulletin says the question mas
been asked once before, and is now re-
pented, because Of the recent addressing
of the present President IN two different
styles by two eminent gentlemen who
would be supposed to know the etiquette
Of the case, and yet who diametrically
disagree on the point raised. Ex Senator
Conkling, according to some Of the papers,
on the 81 of this month sent letter to
% His Excellency, the President, and on
the 9TH OF the month, three days later
the Vermont Senator, Edmunds sent
another letter tc the same perSonage, and
simply and respectfully to The Presi-
dent" Which was in better taste
And which, for that matter, was correct I
Although under the constitution the
President is commander-in-chief Of the
army and navy OF the United States, Yet
his title is civil and not military, and II is
the plainest civil title. Governors OF
states may be Excellencies" and judges
may be Their Honors," but the Presi-
dent Of the United States, even though
he may be distinguished judge, may no
longer, when occupying the highest gov
ern,1ent position that this country can
bestow, wear appropriately the honored
title of his professional years When Mr..
Conkling writes grateful and fatterlns
letter to President Arthur, and addresses
it to - His Excelleney, the President,
he falls far below Senator Edmunds, who
also sends the President letter in which
gratitude is expressed for high place
rendered, and which Is simply addressed
to 20 The President" The letter Of Sen
ator Edmunds is as appreciative Of the
President as is that Of ex-senator Conk-
ling, and his very faithfully your" has
some warmth in it when compared with
the honor to be sincerely your ebedient
servant" Of Mr.. Conkling- Ii Is TO be
noted in this connection, and may be re-

Realizing Our Danger.

There now appears 10 be fair pros
pest that something may be done toward
beginning the work Of constructing
United States navy. The Secretary of
the present alleged navy is earnest IN the
matter. lie has the very laudab!e ambi-
ticu Of wishing something TO preside over
-something better than feet of phantom
ships laid up in the dockyards and lew
sousdruns of wooden vessels, handsome
and trim enough to look at but wholly
unable to either defend our coasts or TO
punish an enemy in the event Of war
The members Of the naval committee OF
the House and Senate likewise appear to
have their hearts in the matter, and the
zeal of the officers OF the navy in the pre-
mises is well known The meeting ut the
office Of the Secretary Of the Navy yes
teriay to consider the subJsct was an evi-
dence Of the anxiety which exists to have
the work Of building = navy begun with
the least possible delay. The Secretary
was correct IN saying that . there was
great unanimity or the part of the press
and the people in favor OF the project OF
rebuilding the navy" And these other re-
marks of his are well worthy of attention:
We have not only to build navy, but
as ancillary to that purpose, or perhaps
As controlling that purpose, We have TO
build our merchant marine. trust that
the aay is not far distant when We may
all once more welcome ON the seas what
has been stranger to them Tor many
vears-our own flag on our own steamers
leaving our own shores, with our own
produce and engaged IN conducting our
own commerce. There is also another
matter which should invoke your atten-
ton. refer Ia the unsightly, the ghast-
lv, useless. the expensive dead stock
which We have in the way Of ships and
other material and which dead stock Is
only protected at very costly prlce from
destruction by the elements. The build

naturally attracts attention, from the fact
that our relations on the isthmus may be
said to have reached at this time criti-
cal point Ii seems to be pretty well
settled notion Of our people that We can
not aiforl 10 give up right of way across
that isthmus to any fDreign power. 1t
seems 10 be well settled that, with our
vast possessions on the Pacific increasing
rapidly in population aud development,
We should have some sure mode OF COM
munication across that isthmus which we
may call our own, and which We must, at
least for time, manifest our ability to
protect. In order to afford such protec-
ton, the construction of the nucleus Of
navy becomes imperatively necessary
Every word of these sentences is timely
and important. 1t is not at all extrava-
CANT to say that 10 better use could be
made Of large portion of all our surplus
revenue for many years to come than TO
expend it in the construction OF a navy OF
which every American would feel proud.

Annexation.

to withstand Ainslie's desperate exertions
to prevent the secession Of these northern

by the House OF Representatives of the

which met at Lewiston, then the capital
Of the territory Of Columbia out of what
is now Eastern Washington, North Idaho

latin. To annexation that, strangely
enough, have been overlooked by the
monomaniacs who think they know it all.
In the matter Of arguments in favor of
annexation, nothing remains to be said
but what we have already been compelled

thousand times before. Any analysis of
our desires for annexation can only dark
