CHRISTMAS. 1882.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1883-07-31

In the passage of the-law by the last Con-
gress providing for the inspection of all teas
coming to the various ports OF entry, there
was an underlying vein of humor which has
hardly been fully appreciated. In the con-
gressional mind, all that was necessary to
give us rure tea was to guard well the ports
of entry, inspect the cargoes as they arrive,
and then the inspectors could retire to their
ease, light a favored Havana and indulge
the satisfaction that the American tea
pot should no longer be dishonored
by adulterated teas. The crafty mer-
hants of the East and the children
of the sun were now completely barred
from the practice of farther frauds of this
kind. 1t never occurred to the lawmakers
that a people who can make, sell and get
rich off of wooden nutmegs and Eastwood
hams, might not also realize on the
tea racket. And, like Beemis's buffalo,
they have at last thought OF it.
That there are spurious teas upon the mar
ket there is no question. How do they come
there? If the government inspectors are
ylgilant, and happen at the same time to
know the genuine from the spurious arti-
Gle, and exclude the latter, ali the adultera-
tions now afoat must be of home produc-
ton. Then all the tricks in the trade are
not confined to the Eastern continent. 1t
would seem, therefore, if this law is to be
efficient, an amendment must be made ex-
tending the duties of the inspectors so as to
include the examination of the wholesale
and retail trade Of the country. But
this may require a stretch of fed
sral supervision in the premises. Ii
70, lame places in the law ought
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1883-07-31

to be cured by State enactment.
True, the government officer follows the
liquor traffic from the time the fluid leaves
the still-worm until it reaches the consumer,
But that is a different drink. A man must
have pure whisky, but as to the trife of tea
for the family, he can take the chances.
Congress ought to have known from personal
knowledge and experience in the liquor
traffic question, which must be kept con-
stantly under the eye of an officer, that
there is sufficient craftiness in the country to
mix cut hazel leaves with tea if there is
money to be made at it. Let US have pure
tea and wholesome food generally.

THE first page OF yesterdays issue of the
Journal, as rejecting the news of the world,
presented a startling array of tragedies such
as seldom occur. This voluminous record of
calamities was not compiled by special effort,
but is simply the daily report of current
events. The chief horror of the days fright
full news, and one that so overshadows the
Others as to almost obliterate their minor ter
rors, was the terrible earthquake in the island
of Ischia, near the city of Naples, by which
several thousand lives were lost, although the
exact number has not yet been ascertained.
1t is to be hoped that this is
the climax of the years catastro-
Plies. Besides this awful visitation,
there were numerous minor accidents TO
Chronicle, though their magnitude was
dwarfed into comparative insignifcance.
There was a railway accident near Carlton,
N. Y, in which nineteen lives we're lost.
An explosion in a mine on the island of
Sicily killed thirty-fve miners. Three
men were killed in an accident on the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad.
Five men were drowned at Mayersville,
Miss. There were two other railway ac
cidents with fatal results. Francisco Borca,
Spanish envoy to the Uuited States, COM
mitted suicide. In addition to these, a
sortie Is reported at Hanoi, in which the
French killed 1000 of the enemy. While
these were occurring the twin plaques,
cholera and yellow fever, were still carrying
death to new localities.
The history of the year, now but little
more than half gone, will long be remark
able for its fearful calamities. The first six
months, counting no accident in which less
than three lives were lost, showed a total of
nearly 5000. The first month of the second
half of the year has surpassed even that fear
full total, saying nothing of the thousands OF
deaths from cholera and yellow fever. What
the remaining five months will bring is, of
course, impossible to predict, but it is hardly
probable that anything near so terrible as
the overwhelming Of the cities on the island
of Ischia will occur.

The sympathies of most police boards are
revealed whenever a Sunday law is sought to
proceed to indiscriminate arrests for all
kinds of labor on that day, and thus make
the statute so odious that the public is glad
to see it become a dead letter. Half such
zeal exercised in enforcing wholesome laws
would work a very salutary reformation in
every metropolitan community. The latest
manifestation of insincere zeal occurred in
ST. Louis, ON Sunday last, when about 1900
violations were reported, including all per-
sons in any way connected with newspapers,
etc.

News of the terrible railroad accident
which occurred at Carlton n. Y, early Fri
day evening did not reach the public for
nearly twenty-four hours and even now the
accounts are incomplete and contradictory.
At the same time the assurance is given by
telegraph authorities that the condition OF
the lines and service is most gratifying and
that business is moving as promptly as be-
fore the strike" A little proof accompany

Deurer Special.
Robert B. Beath was born in Philadelphia
in 1889. He entered the service as a private
in 1861 and remained in the field until the
close of the war, being promoted from time
to time for bravery. He was first lieutenant
in the eighty-eighth Pennsylvania volun-
teers, nrst corps, army OF the Potomac, and
while serving in this capacity was wounded
in the second battle of Bull Run. Being
again promoted he assumed command of a
company of colored troops, and served with
them In the Army of the James. In the
charge at New Market Heights, Virginia, he
was again wounded, losing his right leg,
Sept. %, 1866. Being taken to the hospital,
he staid there until 1865, when he was as
signed TO duty at Camp William Penn, Phil
able to join his regiment. He
was mustered out in September with a Lieu
tenant-colonel's commission. After the war
he removed to Pottsville, SchuylkiH county,
Pa, where he entered business as secretary
of the Anthracite Mining Exchange. In
1871 he was elected Surveyor-general of the
State of Pennsylvania, and after his term of
service returned to Philadelphia to engage
in the insurance business, being now secre-
tary of the United Firemen's Insurance
Company of this city. Upon the organiAa-
ton of the Grand Army of the Republic he
became one of the first members in his ma
