Compliment to Col. Webster.
Baltimore Herald.

The charge of irregularity against Collector
Webster is ridiculous. Colonel Webster's admin
istration of the affairs of the house has
been so admirable as to command the hearty ap-
proval of all men without regard to their politics,
and IN case he wished to retain office we doubt
not that he would find strong backing among his
political enemies. But Colonel Webster doesn't
have any such ambitions. He has fine farm
and good law practice, and he is a Republican
who is above playing the sycophant to Demo
cratic administration. Having been defeated
along with the rest of his party, he takes his
trashing like man. When he goes out of office
the government will lose servant whose place
cannot be easily filled, and Hartford county will
gain permanent resident clever, genial
gentleman. And we violate no confidence in say
ing that Colonel Webster is quite willing to retire
at any time that suits the government at Wash
ington.

@-A New York correspondent of the Boston
Advertiser speaks of the growing inclination to
conduct funerals in private. He says the nuisance
of strangers erowding to funerals for the sake of
curiosity has become almost uncomfortable, and
various plans have been adopted to prevent the
attendance of all but those directly interested. In
some instances the hour of the funeral is purpose
Iy omitted from the newspaper notices, and flu
nerals have been held in the evening, the inter-
ment occurring the next day, with the same object
We regard this as most commendable move We
never did see the sense in family, who could i'll
afford it, furnishing expensive carriages to carry
strangers-persons who were not even friends of
the family of the deceased-long distances to
cemeteries. It is custom that should be more
honored in the breach than in the observance.
This seems to be period of reform. Let us have
it in funerals also and thereby efectualy dispose
Of the curiosity-seeker. 30

MS-Mr Edward L. Hedjen, who was on Sat-
urday last appointed Collector of the Port of New
York by President Cleveland, was for many years
highly esteemed merchant of that city. He has
always been Democrat and is an anti Tammany
man. Among the politicians, therefore, the Sc
lection is by no means popular one, but business
men generally approve it and are well pleased.
Silas W. Burt, who was on the same day appoint
ed Naval Officer for thst port, held the same po-
sition during Hayes's administration and was re-
appointed by Garfield and turned out by Arthur.
He has always been Republican but voted for
Cleveland for Governor and also for President.
His appointment is gratifying to the Mugwumps.

Ng-High license has proven a success in
Missouri, the trick of the liquor men having been
circumvented by an amendment to the law which
makes a license to sell beer cost as much as a
liquor license, it having been found that saloon
keepers took out the cheaper license to sell beer
and wine and afterwards sold other spirituous
liquors as well. The amended law fixes $3.50 as
the minimum cost of license and 81 200 as the
maximum, depending on the amount of business.
There has been decided decrease in drunken
ness and an increase of the county revenues.
