THE Philadelphia Times very pertinently
suggests that the Harber and River scheme
now under discussion in the House of Rep
resent&tives shall be called the EADs BILL
Inasmuch as two salaries are provided in the
bill for the great lobbyist. and it is proposed
to give him control of all the money appro-
priated for the Galveston harbor and Missis-
sippi river improvements without requiring
him TO file his plans and estimates or to do
anything to show that he understands the
business in hand, it does seem that Capt.
EADs has more interest in the bill than any
one else. and the title should fully set forth
the purposes Of the bill. The suggestion,
therefore. that it be called the EADs bill is
entirely appropriate.

STONEW I'll JACKSON,s HORSE.

10 the EulIOT OI GlODe.
ST. PAUL, MINI. Feb 4.-You spoke Of Stone
wall Jackson's horse 1T being the one from which
he was killed as Charlottesville. This Is
common though erroneous impression. Gen
jackson was not Iii led in battle but In the night
By one of his own men. The two armies were
lying very near TO each other, and jackson had
issued very strict orders about allowing unknown
men to be seen in camp. but to shoot every sus-
picious character. While inspecting the camp
that night to see that all The sentries were on
duty, ne was shot by one OF his men through
mistake. X.
While cheerfully giving place to the above
communication, the statement made by the
GLOBE was correct SD far as it relates to the
horse on exhibition at the New Orleans Ex-
position. Gen. jackson was on horseback
ut the time he was shot, and fell from his
horse. In the opinion of the attending sur
geons, Drs. Mcguire and Morrison, the shock
resulting from the fall from the
horse contributed very largely to his death.
1t was at the battle of Charlottesville. but
not during an active engagement, that Gen.
JACKSON was wounded. A little before day
light the General, accompanied by his staff,
rode down a road, outside. as he supposed, of
his own lines, for the purpose of reconnoiter'
ing the position of Hooker. A South Caro-
lima regiment stationed on the outposts with
orders to fire on any approaching force,
under the darkness of the early dawn, mis-
took the cavalcsde for the enemy, and fired.
Gen. JACKSON fell under this fire. But the
old horse at New Orleans is the iden tica one
ridden by the eminent Confederate officer ut
the time he was wounded.

4 WORD TITH MR. CLETEL.

~ ~ Oh ~ " II III III IL tLE y EISIRD.
We had cleaner craftsmanship, a higher
standard of fidelity to public trusts, and a
much less costly government when official
life at Washington did not have such extrava-
giant social ideas as it now has, but was kept
within the bounds of democratic plain ness,
simplicity and economy. On the return of
the Democratic party to power in the national
govern ment we would suggest that the wisest
thing Mr. Cleveland could do, and some
thing that would be entirely in accord with
Democratic notions, would be TO try the eX-
pertinent of selecting cabinet officers who
are willing to live within their salaries, and
10 devote themselves to public service rather
than tothe entertainment of million aires and
maguates. A man who takes charge of a
department to serve the people faithfully,
and TO discharge his duties without fear or
uections that can only be had at the cost of
several times his salary. When man
pays for an Office three or four times
as much as il is legitmately worth, he either
rates the value of his services to the public
much higher than the law does, or he con-
fesses that the position is worth much more
TO him than the law allows. Within the last
twenty years there has been a number of
cabinet officers who have spent their private
fortunes lavishly in sustaining the social
credit of the several Administrations and yet
none Of them have been impoverished. The
