WASHINGTON LETTER.



WASHINGTON April 10, 1883.
Revenue reform has made
some perceptlblc headway during
the past week. IL looks now as
if the Mills tariff bill stood a
good chance to pass the House.
The improvement in the outlook
is not owing to any conversions
having been made among the
icnocratic followers Of Mr.
Ran lall- they are still as obsti-
nate as the one man who abused
the other eieyen on the jury be,
cause they would not agree with
him. but is owing principally
to revolt in the republican ranks
against the high protection policy.
This revolt IS led by Mr. Nell
son, Of Minnesota, who made one
of the strongest revenue reform
speeches yet heard in the House,
Thursday. He went over the
whole question in mastery
manner; he favors the retention
of the internal revenue taxes, and
a general lowering of The tariff.
In regard to high wages and high
tariff, he said: ''1t has been the
fashion to ascribe the higher
wages Of this county to the
tariff. ! consider that false pre-
tense. England has free trade,
while Austria, Germany, Italy
and France have protection, and
yet wages are much higher in
England than in either Of the
other countries. The main case
of the low wages in Europe, is to
be found IN the density of pop
dlatlon, and greater supply Of
labor" II is thought that the
number Of republicans who
practically agree with Mr.. Nelson,
IS large enough to ensure the pas
sage Of the Mills bill, if they do
not allow themselves to be shipped
back into the party traces.
The report of the N ajority Of
the ways and means committee
on the Mills tariff bill, which has
been prematursly made public,
though it has not been yet pre-
sented to the House, is an able
document, and should be spread
broadcast among the people. 1t
will doubtless make many conves-
sions to revenue reform.

Women was a great success in
every respect.

DICKENS DARK CHILDHOOD.

The childhood of Dickens was
SO sfadowed by poverty, and his
sepsitivc and imaginative mind
was SO keenly alive to his posi-
tion that he could draw an abso>
luteIy impartial picture Of his
parents. His mother had a keen
appreciation of the 1roll and of
the pathetic, and likewise consider.
able dramatic talent. She was a
comely little woman, with hand
some, bright eyes, and genial,
agreeable person. From her
Dickens undoubtedly inherited his
temperament and intellectual gifts.
She possessed an extraordinary
sense of the ludicrcus, and her
power of imitation was s3methirg
astonishing. Her perception was
quick, and she unconsciously
noted everything that came under
her observation. IL describing
liulcui"us occurrences her tone
and GESTURE would be inimltable,
while her manner was one Of the
quaintest. Dickens declares that
to her he owed his first desire for
knowledge, and that his earliest
passion for reading was awakened
by his mother, who taught him
not only the first ruciments of
English, but also little Latin.
Poverty saddened and darkened
many years of her life, and her
children were early compelled to
leave her and cain their own liv-
ing. but they all hosored and loved
her as she deserved.

SENSATIONAL NEWSPAPERS.

The Nashville American knows
what good newspaper is, and
that it is not sensational aud does
not minister to deprayed appe-
tites. 1t says: 10 publish all
the filthy and nauseating details
Of scandalous events; 70 revel in
all the glory OF startling head
lines where the good name Of a
man or woman is concerned; to
make a business of dragging the
private lives of people out into
the broad glaze Of day-these
are some Of the things that pass
for "scoops" in this day, but
they are not credjtable to journa-
lism nor to the people who, with
their support, enable news
paper Which does all these things
" live and prosper. Unfortun-
ately for the cause of decent
jou:nallsia, there are newspapers
Whlch exult in the ability Ct their
reporters and telcsraphic cones-
pondents to discover and dish up
in salacious style all the wicked
ness and vile occurrences within
their territory, but these news
papers can be counted on the
fingers of both hands, and against
them stand the vast majority OF
the American press, that gives
the news, but exercises its right
of censorship in pruning down or
entirely excluding such matters.
The existence of a sensational"
newspaper is constant blot on
the name Of a community; it en-
couiages vice by making it con-
spicuous and writing it up in a
style that brings smiles where
bushes and Indignation should
exist.

speech, or merely for an appara-
tus by which that object could be
obtained. The court is of opinion
upon this point that articulate
speech is one of the "yocal or
other sounds referred TO in the
fifth clause of the patent. Bell
discovered that speech could be
transmitted by gradually chang
ing the intensity of continuous
electric current so as to make 1t
correspond exactly to the changes
IN the density of the air caused
by the sound OF the voice. This
was his art. He then devised a
way IN which these changes of
intensity could be made. aud
speech actually transmitted. Thus
his art was put IN a condition for
practical use, and with this lie
astouished the scientific world.
Prot. Henry, one Of the most emf
nent scientists Of the present cen
tury, spoke of 1t as "the greatest
marvel hitherto achieyed by the
telegraph" !" A patent for such
a discovery Is not to be confined
to the mere means which the dis
coyery lmprovised to proYe the
reality Of his conception. The
court is therefore Of opinion that
the patent must be sustained az
patent for process or art.
From this decision Justices
Bradley, Field, and Harlan dis
Sented. Their dissent Is based
upon the Drawbaugh clam, and
they are Of the opinion that the
evidence overwhelmingly shows
that Drawbaugh vas the first in
ventor Of the speaking telephone,
although he was unconscious Of it
and was not aware of its impor-
lance. Justices Gray and Lamar
did not SIT in these cases, and the
court stood four to three in favor
of the Bell patent.

THE TELEPHONE CASE.

The United States Supreme
Court has rendered a decision IN
the great telephone case. Chief
Justice Waite prepared the opinion
which decided that Bell was un-
questionably the discoverer and
inventor. The cases covered by
the decision are six in number
one of them coming from Massa-
chusetts, one from Pennsylvania,
and four from New York. In the
first five cases the appellants arc
Amos Z. Dolbear ct AL, the Mol
ocular Telephone Company, the
Clay Commercial Telephone Com
pany, the Peoples Telephone
Company, and the Overland Tele-
phone Company. In the sixth
the Bell Telephone Company is
the appellant against the Molecu-
lar Telephone Company.
The Chief Justice began his
opinion with review of the ques-
tions raised as to the scope of the
fifth clause Of Bells patent OF
March z, 1876-that ia. whether
the patent was for an art OF pro-
cess of transmitting articuiate

LETTER FROM FIRST DISTRICT.

! EDITOR GAZETTE: recent
issue of the Sentinel contains a
long TRADE against our Representa-
tives Messrs Crawford and Sim
mons, the cause of which is appar-
ent to every one. These Christian
gentlemen have incurred the i'll
will of the whisky ring because
they refused to bow to the whisky
Moloch and dared vote as Il large
majority of the white people
desired them to vote for the
Summit FIVE nile law. / see no
reference to Senator Ford or
Love although they are charged
with duplicity the same as The
Representatives. The "wets"
say that Senator Love promised
not to introduce the bill in the
Senate until they could get up a
petition against it aud after they
had hired men and put them to
riding, Senator Love Immediately
introduced the bill and it was
passed almost unan imously, they
claim that Senator Ford promised
not to have any thing to do with
the bill and then got Love to in
troduce it and not satisfied with
this went to the Governor and
begged him to sign. This being
SO, why does not the White Ele-
phant ralsc his trumpet against
them slso, suppose he thinks he
had better not "blte off more
than he can chaw" that attey he
has thoroughly masticuted Craw-
ford and Simmons and spewed
them out that then he will TICKLE
Senators Love and Ford; but Mr..
Editor the mpny friends of these
gentlemen in this and adjoining
counties do not intend to sit idly
by and let them be taken in This
way, they propose if it is a SIN TO
be prohibltionist that they will
bear it themselves and not allow
a scapegoat made of their Rep
resentatiyes. | think that about
the time the disgestive apa-
ratus of this Octipus begins
to work on Crawford and
Simmons he will suddenly dis
cover that he has made bad
mistake, and when Love and
Ford ale passed around methlnks
he will begin to "Crawf-ish" and
say "no more in mine if YOU
please. The Sentinel fears that
the Democratic party will be dis
rupted in the county, he is correct
about that
As soon as the saloon men find
vat that they cannot boss the
party, no doubt they viii! form an
Alliance with the fGssllizad re-
mains Of the Republican party
and try to ride into power on the
backs Of the negro and Gov.
Lowry nor no one else can pre-
vent them from doing so. This was
attempted in this county last fall
but it raise such a storm Of
opposition that the project was
abandoned, In Line In county
however Col. Deason, I'M old
time Republican succeeded in
defeating the Democratic nominee
the "wets' supporting him against
the regular Democratic nominee
Yes, Mr.. Editor, I think we will
have little bolt, but l think
there are enough good citizens In
the countyto 70 miscarry any such
movement, and 90 the Sentinel
which is the mouth piece of the
opposition says it will stand by
the party we need have no fears
on that score.
