YOUNG ARTHUR AS \ STUDENT
The Way He Neglects His studies.

The Way He Neglects His Studies.
According to the reports of a number of
Princeton students now in Washington
on their Easter vacation, says a Wash
ington special to the New York World,
Allan Arthur, the Presidents son, has
made the original discovery that there is
a royal road which leads to learning,
or at least the reputation of it. Prince
ton has the reputation of being one Of the
most strictly regulated colleges in the
country. So rigid are the examinations,
and so high is the standard required, that
there are probably a larger percentage
Of young men dropped from the
rolls of the college each year than
from any other college in the cOun-
try. Yet the Presidents son appears to
have full permission 10 disObey all rules
without mourning the loss of any stand
ing. He is not good scholar, and if he
were an ordinary student would have
very hard work to maintain his position in
his class if he should devote all his time
to his task. Yet young Arthur absents
himself from the college weeks at time.
He does not average over three days in the
week at Princeton and is continually off
on a visit to New York or Washington.
He, however, passes his examination
when the hardest of workers conditioned,
and without doubt he will be graduated
with full hOnOrs without really having re-
ceiVed any benefit from his college course.

LUNA ISLANDS TRAGEDY.
The Son of One of the Victims Thinks
That His Father Was the Murderer.

The son OF one OF the ' lCtlms 4 n1Dks
That His Father Was the Murderer.
A sensation was caused to-day, says
a Niagara Falls special Of the 14th to the
New York World, by the declaration OF
Martin Pearson, son Of the man MUIR
dered on Luna Island by Thomas Yedder,
who then jumped into the cataract, that
his father had killed his uncle and then
committed suicide, instead Of vice versa,
as all the circumstances indicate. Young
Pearson thinks his father had a revolver
that he tried to kill himself, was pre-
vented by Nedder, whom he then strangled
and pushed over into the roaring abyss.
His father then shot himself.
Charles Nedder, Washington attorney
and brother Of the dead man, thinks that
Pearson committed suicide, and that
Vedder, Mortified lest he should be ac-
cused Of numbering his brother-in-law,
followed MS example.
There was no struggle between them.
Pearson was killed by pistol shot fired
into the back of his head, followed by
another bullet. Death was instantaneous.
not even the muscles being contracted.
Whether Nedder then committed suicide
grows more doubtful every day, and many
believe that he took Pearson to Luna
island TO murder him, and planned an
escape, leaving the clothes and making
the footprints to create the belief that he
had committed suicide. The inquest to-
morrow may throw more light upon the
fraOpdV

Public Building Appropriations.

The newspapers Of the cities which
have secured what public buildings they
need are condemning the public building
appropriations which the present House
is making They speak Of the apprOpria-
tions as wasteful, extravagant and as the
direct result Of an oyeriOwing treasury.
Tney assert that it is much cheaper for
the government to rent suitable buildings
for post Offices and court rooms
than to build them. II is noticeable,
however, that these journals were careful
not 70 advance such arguments 50 long as
the cities in which they are located were
asking for public buildings. The New
York journals are making the same sort Of
an cutlery with regard to the river and har-
Dor appropriations. New York having re-
cciyed more money for the improvement
Of her rivers and harbOrs than any other
State, and not needing much more, the
leading journals Of New York city regu-
larly. every wear, attack the river
and harb0r bill and designate it
as gigantic steal. il would be in much
better taste for these hOwlers against ap-
preparations for public buildings and for
rivers and harbors TO inquire whether the
communities they represent have not had
their share Of appropriations Of this kind,
and, il they have, 70 reserve their criti-
cism- until other communities have been
treated as generously. The amount
that it IS proposed TO appropriate
this year is somewhere in
the neighborho0d Of seven millions Of dol
lars. The amount is large, but it is to be
widely distributed. 1t Will do a great
deal to improve the towns in which the
buildings are 10 be constructed. Of
course. il is not the business Of the gov
eminent to improve towns, but it j. its
duty 10 furnish respectable and conve-
nient quarters for government Offices;
and in providing these offices there is no
reason why the benefits 10 the
towns should not be taken into considera-
ton. The people furnish the money for
the buildings, and as long as they pay
the bills they ought to have what they
want, if il is in reason. This city has
been asking for post office building for
a good many years. and it is about time
that its request was granted. Represent
alive Nichols speaks hopefully Of an APP
preparation Of 100000. II he succeeds in
getting that sum ne will be entitled to the
gratitude Of his constituents in this city.

part IN the tariff discussion. Only a small
part Of this number, however, viii de-

remarks in the Congressional Ree0Td.
Representative Blount's speech was
among the first delivered. and his coustl-
tuents are gratifed. doubtless, that be
stands souarelv in favor Ct tariff reform.
He is in harmony with the sentiment Of
the people % Georgia and the policy Of
the Democratic party with respect % the
tariff. NJ man understands better than
liz does that it woum be the extreme Of
folly for the party 70 listen Tor a moment
- the teachings 0f Randall. He j. lot a
free trader. and no such a thing as
free trade is advocated by the
Democratic party. What that party
does advocate. however. j. tariff reform.
II has advocated this FOR years. aud the
people gave it a majority in the present
House for the purpose 81 effecting reform
Of that kind. Mr.. Blount says, very truly,
that the Morrison bill does not do all tina t
the tariff ref0rmers propose 70 do, but II
is a very good beginning. II may take a
quarter Of a century to get the tariff into
the shape that the tariff reformers want
it, but they are certain 10 succeed in their
reform work. Mr.. Bl0unt knows W hat is
