Advices from Gatesville, Texas, say
that near there some time ago the SON.
in-law Of Mrs. Shaw lost his wife, and
turned over his little two-year-old child
to it's grandmother to care for. He
married again, and was desirous of
regaining possession of the child. Mrs.
Shaw being unwilling to surrender the
child, it was taken by force. Aggrieved
by her loss, she, on last Wednesday,
suicided by lashing herself in a very
ingenious manner to a stone fence, first

kerosene, She then struck match
and applied it. When found she was
dead, her body being horribly burned.

We Sympathize.

1t will now be in order for tho rigidly-
righteous democrats who shudder at any and
all coalitions and denounco them as bargains
to rise and denounce the trade and dicker
now going on in the state of Michigan be-
tween the democracy and tho greenbackers
AS a friend of the democratic party, sincerely
desirous that 1t should preserve untarnished
its reputation for financial rectitudo
and deeply grieving at its present thought
less and giddy conduct in the state of
Michigan, The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN
implores it to pause and reflect This appeal
is made from sense of gratitude to demo-
cratic journals, for when republicans and
greenbackers in Alabama, Texas, Mississippi,
North Carolina, and South Carolina have so
far forgotten themselves as to unite for the
defeat of bourbon candidates for congress our
democratic editorial brethren have always
been ready with their warnings against such
doings Win not our Washington bourbon
organ insert knuckle in its eye and below
as becomes it with tho pain which it must feel
to sec the pure and undefilcd democracy of
Michigan led astray2 We can say no more. In
this hour of democratic afiliction it is the duty
of every republican to bemoan the downfall
of that wicked old party, however glad at
heart ho may be. This will, as before re.
marked, be in strict accordance with the SYM
pathy we have had from democrats when we
have beaten them with Jones of Texas, Lowe
of Alabama, and Chalmers of Mississippi, the
only difference being that they will not de-
| feat us as we did them.

Why This Wrath.

There is one thing will give you carte blanche
to say for me, and that is that consider THE Ma.
TIoNAL REPUBLICAN the most disreputable, un-
scrupulous and lying newspaper in America.
That statement you are at liberty to publish with
my name attached.-Jdmes G. Blaine 10 half a dozen
1nhTUieuers,
For some unaccountable reason Mr., Blaine
seems to be determined to be at was with
The REPUBLICAN notwithstanding the fact
that THE REPUBLICAN is and for long timo
has been his own personal organ, so far as 1t
has been the organ Of anybody, II has spared
no pains or expense to give Mr.. Blaine all
the news from all the world, day by day,
which is certainly what he wants in a
newspaper and it has often been at
no little inconvenience to give the rest of the
world all the news about Mr.. Blaine, which is
one Of the things he has not heretofore no.
toriously objected to, Yesterday morning
The REPUBLICAN gave the public all that
could be ascertained about the breaking of
Mr., Blaine's carriage window and the mys.
terious circumstances attending it, All that
was wanted to mako the story complete was
Mr.. Blaine's own statement; but Mr.. Blaine
was not to be seen, although re-
porter made two trips to his house
at some personal risk to see him.
Mr.. Blaine seems to have been busy yesterday
denying the story, pronouncing it a lie, a
malicious falsehood from beginning to end
| and adding such purely lratuitous embel.
lishments as that quoted above. And yet he
invariably qualified all these remarks by ad,
mitting that he was out riding on the even,
ing in question that the carriage he rode il
was procured at Wanstall's; that Mr.. McKin
ley was with him; that the glass in the carriage
door was broken, and that his movement
generally were as described in The REPUB
LICANs report, He even goes further anC
National Republican., 1883-03-10

admits that he detained the driver at the door
of his house "until he ascertainod that mono
of his family were out and to be sont for"
Still further to confirm the report, which he
had so vigorously denounced as lie, he cx-
presses the opinion that the glass was broken by
a stone and not by bullet, which is precisely
tho theory THE REPUBLICAN announced he
pretended to hold. Just why Mr.. Blaine
should feel so vicious toward paper which
details the news in regard to his movements
and adventures with SO much care and accu-
racy it is difficult to sec. Tho only apparent
reason for his wrath is that he is
determined to be mad. This is his right.
But so long as he pays his subscription rogu-
larly and keeps out of the democratic party
there will be nothing about which THE RE-
PUBLICAN can quarrel with him. He will have
the war all to himself.

theater for the first time during the company's
engagement there The piece, which is no
stranger to this public, was uproariousy received
A few changes have been made 1t It, which were
necessary to permit Mr.. Edouin to assumne the
character of the photographer and still retain the
character of tho old man in the first act. When
It is said that Mr. Edouin gets out Of the part all
the fun there is in It, the whole story is told The
whole concert is indescribubly ludicrous. The
performance in all its parts was remarkably
smooth.
"Faust," with Harry Peakes as Mephisto, Miss
Darlington as Margheretta, and Mr.. Appleby as
Faust, was sung last evening by the Hess company,
at Ford's for the benefit Of Mr.. Peakes. whose as
sumption was distinctly successfuli in its dramatic
side, and competent as to music. Miss CARING
toms work, especially in the second act, was much
applauded, and the siebel of Miss Ellsner won

Tax ON Dennnita.

The question as to when the tax on capital
and.deposits of banks, bankers and national
banking associations will cease under the
operation of the act of March to reduce
internal taxation, has not yet been decided.
No decision will be made on this question
until case arises. The statement that an
opinion had been requested from the attorney
general is incorrect. 1t is the opinion of GER
tain officers of the Treasury department that
under section 13, which prescribes that tire
repeal of existing laws enumerated in this act
shall not affect any right accrued or accruing
it will probably be held that such taxes must
be levied for the period ending March 3, the
date of tho passage of the act, Unless this
ruling shall prevail the national banks will
have paid taxes on capital and deposits to jan
!, and other banks and bankers to Dec, l.
giving the latter an advantage of one months
taxes.

PATRICK EeAN having lawfully left Dub
lin as any other citizen might do, the Dublin
correspondent of the London Times saga
ciously remarks "that the flight of Egan E"
(meaning thereby his departure) affords the
strongest moral evidence of tho intimate
connection of the land league with the crimes
in Ireland" If Egan left in any clandestine
manner to avoid arrest it would seem to af-
than as to all Irishmen not employed as
English spies and informors. The actions of
Egan are not necessarily connected with the
land league any moro than is the stupidity of
the Dublin correspondent Of the London
Times with Englishmen of common sense.

The Valencia Matter.

Secretary Frelinghuysen has learned from
the consul at Curaco that Immediately after
the Valencia was fired upon he called upon
the governor in relation to the matter, and
found that he had already begun an investi-
cation into the firing and the regulations by
which it became possible. This investiga-
tion was conducted by the attorney general,
and the offense was found to be due to an old
regulation of tho time of slavery and pass
ports and to fault Of the police, who had
not Immediately presented tho Valencia's fort
pass to the military guard. The responsible
officer of police has been punished, and the
regulation has been changed so that firing of
shot by the fort is now prohibited. The gov
ernor has expressed his regret for the occur
renCe.

Capital accumulates rapidly, even from the
smallest beginnings. The first hundred dol
lars are more difficult for the poor man to
save than are the successive thousands, Cap
ital earns money for its possessor, and inter
est grows more rapidly than corn. The
working classes turn to the savings banks as
their repositories and surprise themselves
with the rapid attainment of competency.
The first institutions of this kind were
established nearly hundred years ago

ters contained a clause restricting their

upwards of two million people who depend
upon wages for their support have accounts
with various savings banks in this country,
and their united deposits aggregate $780,
100000. The figures indicate thrift and
carefulness which are an eloquent refuta-
tion of the cry of free traders that our pro-
tective system is grinding the working classes
into poverty and suffering
Tho people in this city who depend upon
wages for their support receive an average Of
better compensation than like classes in any
other city in the country. That they are
thrifty and have n commendable habit of
providing for the future is evidenced by the
fact that so many Of them own their own
houses while SO many more are purchasing
small residences. The savings banks most
patronized in this district are the building
associations. These institutions thrive and
grow wealthy, and their patrons are at the
same time gradually paying for their own
homes in manner which is least burden
somo to them. Government employees are in
vesting largely in real estate. This is WISE No
matter what may be the mishaps and unfor.
seen troubles hidden beneath the veil of the
future, the man who has house to shelter
himself and family which he can call his
own can easily provide for those dependent
upon him, so long as the landlord has no
food for which the hungry often cry.

THE white waiter question is agtating the
snobocracy in the great cities at present.
With the advent of liveried funkies come
the unliveried walters; and to follow more
closely the English style, advertisements for
walters specify that they shall wear mutton
chop whiskers. In England a footman in ad-
vertising always states his height as he is
required to serve with another footman,
whom he must match in size, One of the
most delicious cartoons in PanCh is lean
lanky footman lamenting to the coachman
and pointing to his fellow, who is immensely
portly. "The missus says if don't get fat
she'll dismiss me without carakter!" A
footman's calves have a genuine market
value, although art is sometimes used
to supply the niggardliness of nature.
The rage in New York, Philadelphia,
and Boston is for English servants, al
though not one in twenty Of those ad-
vertising themselves as English are really
such. They are Irish with little English
training. II is one of the most diverting
sights of the great summer resorts TO see the
magnificent turnouts of the pork and butter
aristocracy with two able-bodied Irish fellows
dressed in regular cockatoo livery, ornament
ing the box. They have sublime contempt
for everything American and very exagge
rated idea of tho liberty, equality, and fra
ternity Of republic, They lounge over tht
