THE LATE A. ROSS RAY.
Particulars of His sudden Death and

Private letters bring particulars OF the death OF
Mr. Ross Ray, which occurred In san Francisco on
their daughter, Mira. r. Z. Qualirongh, at the Navy
Yard, Mare Island, for some weeks, and he was on
the point OF starting for Washington TO attend to
some pressing business matters and to spend the
holidays with his son, Ross Leslie Ray, who Is at
school In Boston. Mrs. Ray was to remain, and Mr.
Ray was to return early in January to spend the
winter with Lieutenant aud Mrs. Qualtrough aud In
visiting the various points OF interest on the Pacific
Coast The family all wenl totown with MI. Ray on
Saturday, and he made all his arrangements to 90
overland the next day, sunday. Ills tickets were
procured and his baggage checked. The whole
party spent the evening at the house OF another
Ray also spent the night Mr. Hay was to meet
Lieut. Quatrough at the hotel at IL O'Clock the fol-
lowing morning, but while on hs way to keep thls
appointment, In the company OF hsl little grandchild
aud her father, Lieut.. Harrison, he complained OF
feeling verydlzzy, and wished 10 sit down. As he
became no better, carriage was called aud he was
taken back to Mrs. Ilarrisons and placed In bed
He soon became unconscious, breathing heavily.
Medical attendance was quickly procured, and four
rhare, and gave very little hope that he would live
through the attack. Mrs Ray and his three daugh.
ers-those already mentioned aud Mira Mann, wife
OF Lieut.. Mann, OF the Army-and hls three
sons-,n.iaw were all present. MIR. Ray did
not regain consciousness, and his death, which oc-
and quiet. The funeral was held November 80 from
the house of Lieut.. Harrison, 900 Franklin street,
san Francisco, and was private. The clergyman
was Chaplain Thompson, OF the Navy, who Is sta
toned at the Navy Yard there, and who was 4
favorite with MIR. Ray. The pal-bearers were Gen.
Chauncey McKeever, Gen. Perry, MIR. Robert
Harrison, Mr.. G. c. wolcoit, Commander Frederick
Rodgers, and DR.. George Woods The remains
were temporarily placed In vault at Laurel Hill
Cemetery, and will be removed to this city later
Mrs Ray Ia much broken down and will remain
with Lieutenant and Mrs. Qna,trough. Mr.. Ray
was q lifelong resident OF Washington, where he
and all the members OF his family have always been
deservedly esteemed and his loss will be widely and
sincerely mourned The Ross Ray mansion at
Nineteenth and streets was for many Years the
scene of the elegant and ppnpraus hOapitalIty for
which the older families of the Capital were long
famed. The irreparable loss which has fallen upon
his wife and children will be felt as a personal be-
reavement by circle far wider than that which
commonly mourns the death Of an honored citizer,

the tax.favored monopolists have plenty Of
money to organize any number OF leagues,
hire officers for them, and generally keep up
a wonderful beating of tcmtoms and clsmor,
but it may well be doubted whether they
can longer delude many voters into their
ranks Excessive taxes are too sore a
reality, and the so called protective" tariff
has drfted too far from the ideas of such
men as Henry Clay, (who aimed really to en-.
courage American manufactures, not to tax
raw materials,) for the policy of obstinate
obstruction to all tariff reform to succeed.
Senator Dawes appears to realize this, judg-

IT is rather unfair to argue against the character
Of Lady Colin Campbell because she said certain

Its good color and excellent drawing. (peixot,o, by
the way, is pupil of Munsacsyl considering that
the painter is native of the United States, that the
subject is that Of the great beneactor, Montenore,
and that the Gallery was founded by another great
benefactor, 1t seems to us 1t would he graceful

President Hurts statement that his com.
psny will adopt the cable system, unless a
better one can be found, comes none too soon,
as he admits the travel has outgrown the
present capacity of the road. There ought
TO be no delay or diff Guilty in obtaining the
necessary authority from Congress. All our
streets ought not to be cut up with railway
tracks, yet the people must have rapid
transit and seats in the cars. As the
present lines, with few alterations and ex-
tensions, reach all sections, all that is
needed is that their service be made what it
should be. If this is not done, new charters
will inevitably be granted.

The citizens who gathered to create a COM
mittee of one hundred, would engage in a
very useful movement by inquiring how
to buy their clothing, carpets, and as many
other articles as possible. 1t is fact
that goods can be bought as cheap here as
elsewhere, but there are great number Of
people who think it smart to spend in other
cities the money they make in ours. Such
of them as are in business-and We can poin,
them out,by dozens-should be boycotted by
all who have the prosperity of Washington at
heart.

The experience of the past week shows
that it is about time to abandon the country
village system of clearing the snow from
our sidewalks. The plan of requiring each
resident to clear the walk in front of his
premises never did work satisfactorily, and
it never will. Some residents will always
fail to do the work as it ought to be done,
but If every householder saw that his side
walk was perfectly swept the whole job
would be spoiled by the impassable stretches
fronting vacant lots and uuoccupied dwell
ings. Indeed, citizens can hardly be blamed
for laxity in this regard, since every man
knows that no matter whether he clears his
sidewalk or not he cannot traverse two
squares without being compelled to wade
through snow-banks which no one can be
made responsible for. The fairest and best
way is to have the sidewalk cleaning done
just as the street cleaning is done, by the
city authorities.

The Capital, abiding to what Captain Sym
ons in his report says Of the inadequate water
supply, asks, "Will he tell US where It is all
"rightf and will he tell US who designed
"and constructed the system by which the
"people are 80 badly served I" Now, II our
esteemed editorial neighbor will reflect
moment, he will perceive that the chief diff
Guilty arises from the fact that the city has
Outgrown the Waterman system which was
designed and constructed many years ago,
and which has since been patched and ex.
tended year after year to meet the demands
of our increasing population. The system
is like a boys suit OF clothes 1t may be let
out here and there, but the time al
last comes when it is entirely outgrown
aud must be replaced by new one.
Whatever fault there may have been in the
construction of the present system was
probably the simple failure 10 design for
what might be needed fifty years ahead.
The same failure to prepare for future wants
runs through every branch OF our Govern
ment, and nowhere more than in the failure
TO erect suitable and sufficient buildings tC
accommodate the public business of the De
partments al the Capital. As for the watei
supply which We have outgrown, we mus
wait patiently for the completion of th'
Conduit aud Reservoir, aud hope that th'
new system OF distributing mains whici
must be constructed will be designed on 1
more permanent scale than those which tn,
city has already SO completely outgFown.

The slight confusion in which the Citizens
Meeting of Wednesday night dispersed
should not impair confidence in the possibil-
ity of usefulness inherent in this movement.
The failure to arrange equitable sectional
apportionment of members of the COM
mittee was undoubtedly mere inad-
vertenoe. Attention having been properly
called to the necessity Of having East and
South Washington sufficiently represented
there will of course be no difficulty in rear
ranging the committee to secure that end
We do not attach the Importance to this
point which some gentlemen gave to it
Wednesday night. As Mr.. Hillyer pointed
out, the committee, to be of any use, must
confne itself to measures concerning which
there is a substantial unsnimity Of sentiment
in the community. Its influence will soon
be destroyed If it attempts to tomeddle-except
perhaps for the purpose of promoting har-
mony-with questions upon which our people
are divided into fsctions. Its influence will
be destroyed at the outset unless the claims
for representation Of the Southern and Eastern
sections are satisfied. This can easily be
done by increasing the number Of the com.
mittee.

Judge John Davis, of the Court of Claims,
has courteously rebuked IN an able opinion,
the not very noble attempt of this Govern
ment summarily to get out of all liability
to the French spoliation claimants, after
keeping them dangling in Congress for three
generations. The decision just delivered by
Judge Davis on the motion for a rehearing,
(Which really amounts to rehearing of the
original elaborate argum ent,) is new proof
of the wisdom of appointing him to the
bench. His insight into diplomatic affairs,
gained in the State Department, serves him
admirably in a case which turns wholly on
international laws, and his views have the
breadth and vigor of judge "caught
young" who can use moldy precedents with
ont being a slave to them, and does not lose
sight of justice in multitude of quibbles.
The Court of Claims as now constituted ap.
pears to be an able tribunal, composed o.
good lawyers, who are also hard working
judges.
