FAY KILLED BY COCAINE.
His Habits and Family Troubles
Caused the Suicide

His Habits and Family Troubles
Caused the Suicide
NEW YORK, Dec. 24-Elton Fay died in
1.-THE cells" at Bellevue hospital to-day
noon. The cocaine he swallowed Saturday
morning in the lodging house at No. IOS
Bowery killed him. From the first he
positively refused TO say why he swallowed
the cocaine, but it seemed evident from
his emaciated appearance and worn cloth
ing, and from the many letters found on
his coat, that his habits aud family troubles
had caused him to commit suicide.
A few years ago the dead man was the
head of the drug firm of Fay & Horton, in
GAINESVILLE, Wis, and about eight months
ago, after losing his business, he obtained
employment as chemist with B. D. Bald
win & Co., In Chic go. Subsequently he
came east and went to Asbury Park, N, j..
where he was clerk in Seelyea's drug store.
When the season closed there he came to
New York and vainly sought employment.
He was a clever chemist, but he used cocaine
as a stimulant, and this made it difficult 1r
him to secure work. AS his money ran low
he was compelled to take lodgings In the
Bowery. Then he took the fatal dose Sat
urday. His money was gone, and so were
his friends, and witnesses say he seemed to
welcome greedily the large lose of twenty
drops thai was TO end his troubles.

Was Fought Bitterly.
WASHINGTON, Dec. A-In regard to the
proposed transfer of the revenue marine to
the navy department, the details of which
were given in these dispatches a few days
ago, the following story is given in expla-
nation of the movement: When Senator
Chandler, who is regarded as the prime
mover in the proposed transfer measure
was secretary Of the navy. he ordered an
exploration Of some river in the northwest
possessing an outlandish name. One Clark
was at that time chief of the revenue ma
rine division Of the treasury, and hearing
of Mr.. Chandeliers intention he wired in
structions to the captain Of a revenue cut
ter then stationed on the Pacific coast to
proceed at once to make the same explora-
ton. just why Clark did this no one ever
knew, but it made Chandler hopping mad.
Some time afterward it was proposed to
transfer the revenue cutter service to the
navy department, and in a report on the
subject Clark was very severe in his COM
ments. Am other things. he said that
the revenue service was police service, to
protect the COVE nment from loss through
the operations of snugglers, and that as the
average naval officer was a smuggler, it
was nanifestly improper to plaza the rev.
enue service under the charge of naval off,
GERS. This report added fuel, and the in
auguration of a war to abolish tue present
system resulted.
do not vouch for the truth of this story,
but the determined opposition to Clark,
who recently applied for appointm emit to
his old position in the treasury, and who
was strongly supported by Senator Sher-
man and other distinguished gentlemen,
would seem to lend plausible air to the
narrative

Mary had little lamb,
Its fleece was white.as snow;
And erywhere that Mary went
The lamb was sure TO go.
1t followed her to school one day.
Which was against the rule;
1t made the children laugh and play

And so the teacher turned it out,
But still it fingered near,
And waited patiently about

And then it ran to her and laid

You'll keep me from all harm"
"What makes the lamb love Mary so?'

All that is said in partisan news

the National Administration towards
the culprits who have made election
laws in Indiana farce can not be
seriously considered, but it is quite
certain that the exercise of clemency
towards such a man as the convicted

favorable comment in quarters which
can not be wisely ignored by President
Harrison and those near to him. The

was that of fragrant defiance of law

have been made of him to the utmost

THE CLEVELAND DINNER,
How Its Success Has Affe cted the Dreams
of Republican Leaders.

How Its Success Has Affe cted the Dreams
OF Republican Leaders.
The dinner given by representative
Democrats Of New York to Mr.. Cleve-
land has disturbed the dreams of a
number OF the Republican leaders.
Any evidence CT popular faith in the
ex-President; any testimony to the
value CT his public services; any pro-
test against the methods which govern
this Administration, arouses all man
ner of bitterness among the gentlemen
who are asserting that the election of
Mr.. Harrison means new lease of
over for twenty-five years.
But nothing is certain in politics.
Three years before the election of Mr..
Cleveland President of the United
States he was q quiet, unassuming
citizen OF Buffalo. We have been told
that certain things can not be done be-
cause they have never been done. The
New York Sun says the Democrats
have never nominated n defeated cam
didate, which would prove nothing if
III were True, DuG III 10 uOt AnuToW
Jackson was defeated when first can
didate, and his defeat made his nomi-
nation certain.
We suppose our esteemed contem.
porary will admit that Mr.. Tilden's
failure to secure the Presidency in
1876 did not justify the party in fail
ing to demand that he should accept
the nomination in 1880.
1t will not do to be constantly con-
structing, or reconstructing, history
to suit our desires for the future.
Whether Mr.. Cleveland is to receive
the nomination in 1892 can not be de-
cided one way or the other just yet
There is time enough for such de-
cision, and we doubt not that the mat
ter will be wisely decided at the proper
time.
1t is little too early to consider the
nomination. The duty OF action rests
on the Republicans; they must take
the initiative just now, and the record
they are making in every executive
Office naturally fills the Democrats
with hope and with confidence

HarrisOn's FirstBOrn.
Richard F. Negley, leading Re-
publican OF Montana, has written a
etter to the President, in which he
avs:
1t was the mpcrtInent in:ermeddling OF your
on in Montana politics that assured the Dem
Gratis control OF our constitutional conven-
ion. 1t was his bartsring of Federal offices in
Montana some OF them for private gain, and
others for private pique that will permit the
Democrats to send a member OF the House Of
REPRESENTATIVES and tive Senators to Wash
Ington next December.
II you had considered the appointment ct
Federal officers in Montana as grave public
trust devolved upon you by the constitution,
instead OF conierring 1t upon your son as q
private perquisite, to be disposed of as he saw
fit, Democratic prospects in Montana would
not now be so glowing.
Prince Russell seems to be about as
heavy load for the Administrator to
carry as Dudley himself. His per-
formances as an Office have
been especially scandalous, but, as the
ST. Louis Republic we'll says, 'he is
merely part of the general disregard
for the decencies and proprieties
which characterizes this Administra-
tion." However, if no has been in
any way instrumental in putting Mon
tana into the Democratic ranks, we
can afford to view his offenses chart

The fact that the very disasters
which the tariff shrlekers predicted as

sands OF people 10 the fact that the

risou vigorously on the tariff issue, no

that il the party OF high protection

politicians terrible work is made OF

folly OF the manufacturers and grow

see, IL he will, that free wool would
be a great move toward honest pro.
lection. This was the kind OF pro-
lection that the Mills bill proposed to
give the wooden industries OF the coun-
try by giving them untaxed raw
materials. honest, scientific, legitimate
protection.
The National Labor Tribune, OF Pitts
burgh, which preached Harrison and a
high tariff to working-men in the last
campaign, has also discovered that pro-
lection docs not protect any body but
capitalists. 1t calls the attention Of
It's readers to the fact that at the pres
ent price of steel rails in London, with
freight from London to Pittsburgh
added, the cost laid down in Pitts
burgh would be 1921 a ton without
the tariff f$l7. The Allegheny Besse-
mer Company, of Pittsburgh, has just
taken a contract for rails at $26 ton,
or less than the English price without
including duty. The National Labor
Tribune wants to know why the Ale
ghcny Bessemer Company cut so much
under American prices and therefore
compelled a reduction Of wages in
stead of maintaining rates and giving
part of the $17 a ton protection to
American workmen. 1t very natural
ly concludes that the ST duty is a
"howling sarcasm and an outrageous
fraud.
All over the country trade and labor
journals are talking in the same strain
as Wado's Fiber and Fabric and the
National Labor Tribune. The logic
Of events is opening their eyes-and
we hope the eyes Of the readers-to
the folly and wickedness of our Chi
nese system of taxation. The lies
and sophistries of the protectionist
demagogues will not "go down" in
1892 with tens of thousands OF voters
who eagerly swallowed them last
