The Railway A ccldent Near Keokuk

KEoKUK, Iowa, July1.-The acct

resulted in no loss of life, as was at
first reported. Phil Beck. engineer,
and James D. Moulton, engineer, are
both know to be seriously injured, and
number oflaborers received injuries,
none OF which will. however, prove
fatal An engine and FIVE cars were
precipitated distance of thirty feet in

no lives lost, under the circumstances,
is miraculous.
Those Democrats who continue to
wonder whether or not Tilden has
really declined to be a candidate for
the Presidency, and profess to see
nothing in his letter definitely stating
his position, remind US very much of
the old woman who, when a neighbor
read to her the details Of an accident
by which mans "body was torn to
atoms and his soul sent to eternity u
wanted to know if the paper said
whether or not it killed the man. II
must be admitted that the average
Democratic mind is not at all phenom.
inally grasping, and Tilden's letter, be.
ing a creditable composition, would
naturally be somewhat mystifyine
but it certainly is plain to any
man Of fair comprehension thai
the letter distinctly says he would mo-
accept the nomination, still Democrat:
declare they would like to know wheth
er or not he has declined.-Er.

A Gentleman OF tile Old School.

Washington Letter 10 the San Francisco Chronicle.
l had call on Christmas day from friend
who had Just heard of the death that morning of
an old Californian of early days-Beverly Saun-
ders The deceased was once collector Of the port
at San Francisco and president of the Pacific club.
He was gentleman of elegant manners and OF
high character. In these later years he had been
SO much reduced as to accept place as a custom
house subordinate in New York. Residing in New
Jersey, he has arisen before light on the coolest
winter mornings and made his way TO his work,
carrying with him at all times the grand bearing
Of old and shedding his uniailing good humor on
all with whom he came in contact. met him in
New York several times, and he seemed to me q
noble example of patience in adversely. dignity
in poverty, and gentloness and cheerfulness in a
world Of which SO many younger folks complain
querulously for much less cause than he had.
His faithful friend, Beverly Tucker (Buchanan's
consul 10 LiverpooD. left here on Christmas night
to attend the funeral and see what provision
could be made for his family. lie it was who
brought me the news of his death.

ADJUSTMENTS.
THE NATIoNAL-''BoARDING HOUSE"

THE SAT1oNAL-"BoARDING HOUSE"
Typical American characters do not often
find place upon the stage, and when they are
so found, no matter how significant the role,
certain peculiarities surround them that ex-
cite interest. In this age, when things
English" take precedence, it is refreshing to
discover such a character. There is difficulty
in portraying an American character, and
eminent actors, who have gained renown in
English plays, would ultimately fail were
they TO attempt typical American charac-
ter. There are but half dozen actors living
who even attempt to present certain phase
of American life, and among them arc
Robson and Crane. What these gentlemen do
is American in every sense of the word. The
audience gathered at the National last night
attested the popularity which these gentle
men enjoy, and the loud applause and hearty
laughter gave evidence of the success of their
play. Tho "Boarding House" is fashioned
into an excellent shelter for the greatest
variety of characters these gentlemen have
ever brought together, and tho roles of Gilli-
pod and Elevator allow full scope to the
powers of Robson and Crane, respectively.
The dialogue Of the play is amusing, and tho
situations arc ludicrous and exciting. There
is a vein of sentiment running through it
depicting the troubles Of young and pretty
music teacher who is prosecuted by an ltal-
ian dancing master. This vein is cleverly
entwined about tho twenty characters, and
the work of unwinding it brings into action
the full dramatic powers of each actor. The
company is a splendid ona, and without OK
ception the acting last evening was of a high
order. The Boarding House" will be re-
| peated this evening.
FoRD's--"R RIP VAN wINKLE."
Grip Van Wrinkle" was presented at the
opera house last night by the full strength of
the Ford opera company. This opera is a
favorite one in Washington, and was salts
factorily rendered. Tho pretty song and
chorus by Miss May, when the Twilight
Shadows are Stealing" was enthusiastically
encored.
The general desire to hear the "Beggar
Student" repeated causes the management to
announce it for tonight and tomorrow even
ing, when all who had not the opportunity
of hearing it last week can do so.
There will be matinee tomorrow at
Ford's, when "Trip Van Winkle" will be
done for the benefit of the little ones who
were not able to attend the performance last
night,

Postal Revenues.

Mr.. Hazen, third assistant postmaster gen.
cral, has compiled statement based upon the
returns from 14O postoflices, which usually
return one.half of the postal revenues, show
ing that the gross receipts for the quarter
ended Dec. 81, 1883, were $5753,S76. This is
u falling off from the receipts during tho
corresponding quarter in the previous year of
$ls3,S54, or 1 81 per cent.
As the reduction in postage went into effect
during this quarter the returns were awaited
with some anxiety by postal officials who
were in some doubt in regard to tho effect Of
the reduced rate upon the revenues of tho
department.. As a loss Of 8 per cent. in the
revenue had been expected, these returns
are very gratifying as they indicate that tho
department will be in receipt revenue
sufficient at least to meet its expenses dur
ing the present fiscal year.
Brooklyn shows an increase over the corre-
spending quarter in 1882 of $5,65l, Cleveland
Of $6,3S2, Washington of So, ,374, and Buffalo OF
$9,O76. The New York office collected 81, 1877
3O5, q decrease of $25,3ls; Boston collected
$4O6, ,734, a decrease of $l0,i55, and Chicago
collected $j13, $50, decrease of $1l ,2sl when
compared with the second quarter In the pre-
Ceding fiscal year.

The Democratic Th,mb,e R,gvers.

Mr.. Dana, of the New York Sun, expresses
tho opinion that the free trade agitation
knocks out every presidential aspirant OF
free trade proclivities and leaves q chance
for those who will be regarded by business
men and laboring mon as entirely sound aud
conservative in regard to this subject" But
in the same published conversation Mr..
| Dana declares that the ultra free traders
like Carlisle and Morrison, are giving up the
fight and joining the protectionists. He
deprecstes this instability and plain show
of insincerity in those men who have Just
alarmed the couotry by free-trade triumph
in the house organization. How can any
presidential candidate be regarded as having
froe-trade proclivities when he turns his coat
aud becomes protcctionist2 The editor of tho
S,ai was not bred in the real, true democratic
school. He bothcrs himself too much with
opinions. In fact and in truth, tho country
has no occasion for fresh alarm when the
democrats threaten free trade, nor to take
courage when they promise protection. The
democratic party is always open to convic-
tion. 1t guesses how the majority stands in
each state, and is willing to stand there with
it until the last vote is in the ballot box.
Revenue only means votes only. Show the
war horses that there are more votes in pro-
lection, and until after election they may be
safely counted on by the protectionists. The
managers are guessing which is the strong side.
| They guessed in favor of free trade when they
elected Carlisle, because they wanted that
to be the strong side. Their wish was father
to their thought. But they do not care to
stand out about it if any votes can be made
by seeming to abandon it. Randall and his
men were about to bolt on tariff reform.
| Should this be allowed? Never! The Car
| lisle-M Mcdonald -Watterson. .Hutchins leader
ship dare not be answerable for such catas-
trophe. The surrender of Morrison to
Randall follows as the natural preventive.
Accordingly, the rampant free trade majority
on the democratic side of the house of repre-
sentatives is about to administer protection
| lauy III u laTlu Dill. me DOJtlc Is 10 contain
protection while it is labeled reform.
The indignation of the Randall wing at
this audacity is most natural. 10 defeat
Randall because he was for protection, and
then to rob him of his clothes and strut in a
protection uniform, is, of course, very exas-
perating. There is lesson in all this. 1t
illustrates the cheerful alacrity and unblush-
ing impudence with which the democratic
party leaders can make false protense.
They can shout free trade in order to cap
ture the speakership, and can then use the
power thus gained to defeat the victors. In
the presidential election they will reverse
the order of things. They will profess to be
for incidental protection, intending all the
while to inaugurate free trade policy, if
they can win by their false professions. You
can never tell under which thimble the little
joker is when the democracy holds the i'm
plements.

HeyyItps British Relations.

PhlLddetphtd PTe6S.
Mr.. Hewitt admits that he saw Minister West
and explained the o'DOnnell resolution. For a
presi entail candidate, with his eye on the
Irish vote, this was extremely unwIse. For a rep
resenta!ive to give his gloss and comment on the
action of the house was highly questionable
proceeding Even us Mr.. Hewitt gives the facts
they raise a question as to his action, and in any
case his utterances we're calculated to minimize
the effect OF the resolution with tho British gov
ernment and this on Mr. Hewitts own statement.
Minister Vest tells reporter a different story,
corroborating the dispatch Of the Press More
light is needed.
AS q republican journal the Press has no par
ticular interest in this subject. Mr.. Hewitt and
his democratic friends must settleit for themselves
They have all the machinery for finding whether
a leader of the democratic majority did what he
could TO spoil the effect of its action in behalf OF
poor o'Donnell.

MIR. IIewitt's ENHANCEMENT.

The intellectual strabismus that made
Abram S. Hewitt recognize Gen. Garfeld's
handwriting in the Morey letter in 1850, and
which recently caused him to suppose free
trade and protection to be one and the same
thing and to vehemently advocate them both
in the same letter, has again made trouble for
him. He got focus on Ireland and England
and they seemed to him identical. When he
saw Capt Condor with resolution to be Of
fered in the house protesting against ODon-
nell's hasty execution his Irish brogue came
to the tip of his tongue, and he proposed an
alteration which he thought would improve
it. The captain gracefully yielded
to what might be Mr.. Hew-
tits better Judgment, and the house
adopted the resolution on Mr.. Hewitt's
motion. But it appears that aiterward, mis-
taking the British minister for Fenian, he
slyly informed him that the American gov
ernment was not as excited as it seemed, and
that the wing Of friendship between the two
nations would moult no feather, whatever
might happen to O'Donnell. This from a
leading member of the majority, the putatiye
author of the resolution and its mover in the
house, gave Mr.. West what seemed to him
sufficient reason for telegraphing to Minister
I.owell's dear Granville" that O'Donnell
could safely be hung for all that tho
United States cared about it. And so,
the obstruction being removed by the man
on whose motion it had been interposed, the
English gallows creaked with the weight Of
an American citizen. Such is tho case, as
made up from the statements of Mr.. West.
The denial of Mr.. Hewitt is not explicit. If
he shall make it SO hereafter and make up a
question of yeracity between himself and the
British ambassador, it will be for the Use
to determine whether Mr.. Hewitt has de-
served vindication or expulsion, and, if the
former, whether our government can tolerate
the presence of the ambassador who has laid
at Mr.. Hewitt's door charge of such enor-
nifty. We await the testimony before ex-
pressing any opinion.

"Have you ever heard of the insomnia that

availa lie remedy, but oil to no purpose"

he is forced to lie awake and ponder how to

"Well, you measly old cuss. Tom Bowen,

AT the request of Assistant Bishop Potter
the Rav. K. Hebcr Newton has discontinued
his work of trying to tear down the Bible in
the pulpit of the All Souls church in the city
of New York. This is as 1T should be. If
Mr.. Newton can no longer accept the Bible
us his church does he had better hire n hall
in which to ventilate his opinions, instead of
doing it in tho church which pays him for
doing the opposite, He is right in exercising
his freedom of opinion, but if he is at war
with the views OF his church let him get out
of it. His conduct is like that of free
trade chairman of committee of ways aud
means who insists on reporting protective
tariff bill
