THE Brooklyn Eagle thinks it is very wrong
for the Senate to retard or prevent the con-
6rmation of Herbert Beecher as collector at
Port Townsend merely because he is a
son Of the Rev. Henry Ward, and adds, pa
thetically, that Colonel Beecher cannot help
being the son Of his father. If the relation
ship were all on which the Senate's opposition
Is based the Eagles protest would be proper;
but there are some serious charges pending
against the young man. If they prove true,
it may be found quite convenient to assert
that the pastor Of Plymouth Church is not
responsible for being the father of his son.

Now, what does this mean, coming from

THE annual convention of the International
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers was
held at Hartford, Conn, on Sunday, and 800
delegates were present. This is one of the
world, for the reason that it is one Of the most
intelligent and conservative. There does not
seem to be any blood and thunder about it,
but the membership are imbued with sense
of their responsibility as individuals and as
citizens They do not rant about capital rob-
bing them, because they do not intend that
capital shall rob them, and are quite sure that
capital is friend. Conducted as it has been,
this organization will continue to be of ines

States, 80 FAR as is known, that does not sym
pathize with this intelligent and powerful or
ganization of workingmen. Their demands
will be listened to patiently every time they
choose to make any, and it is morally certain
that they will not long suffer any injustice
that can be remsdied. If the Knights of

An Elephantine Mother Hears and Responds
to Her Daughters Cry of Distress.
New York Special.
Barnums season in New York came very near
winding mp with a tragedy tonight While the
herd of twenty five elephants were performing
IN the ring, one of them, Columbia refused to
obey her keeper. when Callahan, the keeper,
pricked her sharply. She threw her trunk up
over her back, and uttered sharp cry of rage
and pain. 1t rang through the circus. and
pierced the ears of Hebe. the big female ele-
plant Hebe is Columba's mother, and when
she heard her baby cry she gave a squeal that
made the circus people jump. and made charge
for the ring in which her baby was being abused.
Hebe did not stop to go out to the ring in the
usual way, but went right across lots, pushing
down ropes aud stakes, in beeline The
youthful aud abused Columbia heard her
mothers answering squeal, saw her coming and
dashed to meet her. If the elephants Of the
Empire Association had ordered general strike
those elephants could not have quit work in a
bigger hurry. Every one broke ranks, and,
throwing up their trunks and tails, ran squealing
hither and tkther. Callahan, the keeper, was
dashed 20 the ground, and women screamed and
tainted, seeing him crushed under the feet of
the furious beasts. The common elephant-keep-
ers came swarming in from the stables with their
sharp goads in their hands, and struggled des
perately to get the elephants back into their
quarters But they would not go. Finally,
Hebe after slashing around with her trunk for a
while, dashed around to the exit which leads to
that section of the circus containing the giants,
fat women and dwarfs. The entire herd fol
lowed squealing after her. There never was q
more scared crowd than that in the circus. When
the elephants disappeared from the ring tho crowd
thought it was all right, but in two seconds there
was a roaring right under the seats, and people
became more frightened than ever and began to
break for the door, and all the lungs and entreat-
les of the attendants were helpless to prevent
panic. The people on the lower seats made
break for the exits, but new difficulty present

Hon. W. III. CALKINs, now of this city,
was the chairman Of the committee on cleo
tions of the House Of Representatives Of the
Forty-seventh Congress, which sat in 1883,
the last Republican Congress. In converse
ton yesterday Major Calkins gave the follow
ing instances where, in that one Congress, the
Republican House decided contests in favor
Of Democrats:
Bailey, Republican, contested the seat Of
Barbour, Democrat of the Eighth Virginia
district. Barbour retained his seat the COM
mittee reporting against the Republican con-
testant.
buchanan, Republican, contested the seat
Of Manning, Democrat Second Mississippi
district. Manning was allowed to retain his
seat.
Cook, Democrat, contested, the seat of
Cults, Republican, Sixth Iowa district. The
Rep, blican was turned out, and Cook, the
Democrat, seated.
MADISON, Republican, contested the seat of
c les, Democrat, Third Alabama district
The committee on elections and Congress
found in favor of Oates, and he retained his
seat.
"Stolbrand, Republican, contested Aiken,
Aiken was allowed to retain his seat.
s'Stovall, Republican, contested Cabell,
Democrat, Fifth Virginia district. The
House refused to seat Stovall, the Republican,
and Cabell retained his seat.
''Strobach, Republican, contested Herbert,
Democrat, Second Alabama district. Her
bert retained his seat, the House refusing to
seat Strobach." &s.ee
The Journal alluded to the Cutts-Cook case
yesterday. This citation Of cases dis
posed of in one Congress only should
do away with the silly cry that
no Republican House ever did what
the Democrats have done in refusing to seat
Frank Hurd, who was not elected, over
Romeis, the sitting member. AS the Jour
nal said yesterday, il is natural that there
should be great wonder over honesty of con-
duct on the part of Democratic majority;
but with the Republicans such conduct is
the rule and not the exception.

Washington Letter.
The President has made no sign regarding
that reported alliance. Some people take 1t that
his silence means it is true--but Mr. Cleveland
is no fool, and he probably knows that if he were
to start out to deny all the reports that have
been and will be started about him in the next
three years, he won't have much time for any
thing else. Miss Folsom impressed persons here
who saw her as very nice, well-behaved, pretty
young woman. Her amazing beauty, stupen-
ranged her marriage with the President. Mr..
Arthur used to laugh at these things Mr.
Cleveland may get sulky over them, but he
would do well to follow Mr.. Arthur's example in
this as in good many other respects.

AT Montgomery, Ala, on tomorrow, there
will be a grand celebration, the occasion of
which is the laying of the foundation of a
monument to the States confederate dead,
and the ex-leader of..the Rebellion is to deliver
the address, extolling the cause for which the
men died whose memory is thus to be honored
1t Is said that the intention is to rear monu-
ment at a cost of about $4,000, $4,000 Of
which has already been subscribed. We have
only this to say: If the confederates can afford
to extol the memory of their dead comrades
and to erect above them imposing monuments
to shadow forth what they regard as virtues
to be emulated, how much more should the
loyal North seek to honor the dead who died
that the Nation might live. If Alabama eau
feel pride in the deeds Of the confederate
dead, what should Indiana feel and do in
memory Of her dead heroes and patriotsY It
is shame that so long time has elapsed since
these men went down to their graves and no
testimonial in stone and bronze has been erected
to commend their glorious deeds to future
generations. The work of providing some
such monument should not be allowed longer
to drag along uncompleted. If Alabama can
afford to proclaim her sympathy for men who
died in the wrong how much more should
Indiana be anxious to do all that is left to
honor the men who periodically died for the
most glorious cause that ever called men to
the field of battle. The wealth Of this State
is enough to at once build such monument
as will for centuries stand as an object lesson
in patriotism to the youth Of the land
