Baltimore Sun, The late Mai. Ed
ward Watts of Hsgerstown, whose
death was recently mentioned in the
Sun, was a student at West Point with
jefferson Davis and Robert +. Lee,
who were both warm friends OF his
ever afterward. Msj. Watts was a
strong supporter OF the Union cause,
but when Gen. Lee passed through
Hagerstown at the head OF the Con-
federate army, moving toward Gettys-
burg, says the Hsgerstown Mad, the
recognition by Gen. Lee OF his old
friend was "sfrsctionste and even
boyish." In June, 1888, Maj. Watts
wrote to Jefferson Davis, and the lat
ter replied on the 4th of July in a let
ter in which he says:
Memory brings to me many happy
associations as read your welcome
letter, and long dwell on the sigma
turs of beloved class-mate, now one
OF the few left on earth. Crafts j.
Wright lives in Chicago. saw him a
year ago quite an invalid. Thomas F..
Drayton resides in Charlotte, N. g.;

others, has wealth to support 1t. Rob-
ert Z. Cleary is on the retired list OF
the army, and free to go, like ths wind,
where he listeth. These and you and
are, so far as | know, alone left. Our
paths in life have been far apart, but
YOU have ever been near to my heart,
and it gave me sincere qualification to
receive your expressions of solicitude
for the restoration Of my heath. The
attack was severe and of q complicated
type, but there remains no more than
the consequent debility. l am living
on the Cult coast, quite near to the
railroad which connects New Orleans
and Mobile, and about midway be-
tween those cities. 1t would give me
great pleasure to receive you in this
quiet home, where, though the war
ruined me financially, l could give
you shelter with hearts whole well
come. Claits Wright came to see me
two. winters ago, and he is the only
one of eur class have seen for many
years. 1t is sweet to renew the
memory OF schoolboy days, and,
though the body has grown cid, the
heart may st II preserve the freshness o.
the happy days when all was colored
by hope, and, like butterflies, we
| looked for flowers without the knowl
| edge of thorns. am glad to learn
/ that you are yet able to continue youl
professional labors, and trust the day
is far distant when you shall be put
on the list OF the exempts. Postpon'
ing the many things would like tc
commune with you about until We
meet, or until with more strength
may write to you again, and wishini
for my dear Ned all the good things
aud all the happiness possible in THU
bfe, am, as ever, affectionately
YOURS, JEFFERSON DAVIS.

nusINEss InPROYEMENr.

The weekly fnauciAl reports and
comments in the business columns OF
the press Of the last week generally
agree that there is decided improve
ment in business, the principal oppos-
ing element at this time being the
labor troubles. Ia New York money
remained easy and capital abundant.
What is still better, capitalists are
gaining confidence, and loans are more
easily effected. The consequence IS
that there is an increasing Disposition
to engage in new enterprises, as vari-
GUS new railroad schemes and other
projects demonstrate. This may end
in reducing bank depos ts and alter
ing the condition OF monetary affairs,
contamination capitalists ardently
long for. Congress, the Chronicle points
out, has quoted down upon the sub
ject OF silver since il received Secretary
ManniDg's lucid statement Of the influ'
ence silver coinage Is exercising upon
our national and current finances.
Concessions in foreign exchange have
brought down rates a fraction below
the point Of gold shipments; 81 46S,047
was the amount OF the gold exporta-
ton last week. The Treasury opera
tons are going on very satisfactorily
The effect Of the more intelligent
policy there has been materially to
improve the character OF the receipts
at the custom-house. During the first
len days in March the proportion OF
receipts in silver certificates at the
New York custom.house was only SO
PER cent. in the same time the stock
Of gold further increased over $1,000
600. Since the cessation OF efforts
unnaturally to force the circulation OF
silver, there has been a gradual in
crease in the amount OF the coin and
the certificates outstanding. As
the policy pureuCd by the pres.
ent administration increases the
strength of the Treasury, more
confidence is felt. To force the silver
is evidently to increase distrust TO
pay laborer or bondholder Just the
kind OF currency each desires, whether
gold, silver or paper, prevents doubts
aud questions and matters work much
more amoothly. Here is a lesson some
OF our currency agitators are slow to
Learn. In Europe there is extreme de.
preston In business, but the settling
OF the Balkan troables and the genera
peaceful attitude Of the civilized
nations is giving opportunity 10 re-
cover strength. With a cessatian o.
the present labor troubles our owr
prospects will brighten materially.

politics AND POLITICIANS.

There ia much in Mr.. Pickerings's
letter 10 the last Weekly Record TO adj
mire and something to condemn. Pol
itics are nothing but the science Of
government, and in an elective gov
eminent. Il is the business OF every
good citizen TO become a politician TO
the extent OF his efforts TO secure good
government. Politics pertain to pub
JIG policies; the art Of reasoning from
facts, and as the politician is defined
as one versed in the science OF govern
ment it is no crime to be a politician.
Business men are blamed for not TAX
ing more interest in public affairs - for
not becoming politicians-and then,
when they undertake to direct public
opinion in the interest of economy,
reform and good government, they are
sneered at as politicians. Mr.. Pick
ering is as much OF a politician as
those against whom he inveighs. He
proposes 10 accomplish certain things
by his party and his politics, for
which he 10 no moro TO blame than
any other politician. But Mr..
Pickering is eminently right in
his views in regard to the
office seeking demagogues who are

THE PRESENT BRITISH PARLIA.
MENT.

The present British Parliament was
chosen by a broader suffrage, and,
consequently, by a larger number of
voters than any OF its predecessors.
The result Of the change is beginning
to be apparent, and the prospect is
striking terror to the hearts OF the
lovers Of monarchy and aris.ocracy.
The respect for precedents 10 less
marked, for men have learned to
know thst a nation cannot be we'll
governed to-day on principles that
might be good enough in the middle
ages or even half century ago. In
stitulions are no longer accepted on
the mere fact that they are venerable;
the present generation requires what
is suited to the present generation. 1t
is claimed that the living ehall rule
the living-not the authority Of the
dead, who were subject to other in
Guen.es and guided by other aims
than such as incite society to-day.
Accordingly, the present Parliament
favors change OF the land laws,
an abolition OF primogenitufe,
has given large minority
vote against the hereditary system
ia ths House Of Lords, another in
favor Of woman suffrage, another
only twelve less than the majority
in favor OF Establishing the church
in Wales, and majority vote reduc-
ing tbs approp ration for parks main
tanned for the family Of the monarch.
The constituents OF Parliament, on
various occasions OF late, have gone
to the unamisbls length of Kissing
the Queen, who ought to be respected
as a lady whatever may be thought
Of her Office. There have been re-
iusals to drink the Queens health
and others to sing God Save the
Queen" These signs are ominoue OF
coming troubles. When the Irish
measures OF Mr.. Gladstone are
brought forward and are passed by
the House OF Commons, il the Lords
reject them a sweeping modification
OF the upper house is certain, and
the abolition OF the right of any man
10 legis'ate for his country because
his father or o,her ancestors legislated
before him probable, As is slwsys
the case in times Of progress, there
are extremists who will confuse mat.
ters by radical extravagances, but, in
spite OF them, progress will &c
on. England will creep Out
Of its swaddling clothes and cere
ments Of the dead. For an empire
so vast, with 30 many varied and
often conflicting interests, the transi
ton will be one Of extreme danger
Why then encounter it2 Because
there would be greater danger il
standing still. Mighty as she is
when the world moves England mus
move with it. Should it tow out o
the current to lean inert upon a bar

be numbered. History shows how thu
wrecks Of once great empires streV
the shores of time, left there TO de
s,ruction and decay by the death
desling influence OF unTtasoning, i'm
beetle conservatism. Such conssrva
