The Great Eastern Gone

We have so often been called upon in past
years to announce the last, md the very
last and positively ths very laet fthis mag
Dificent but generally useless ship. which
has fingered CD. through an obscure and
proftess existence, since her single voyages
to New York, New Orleans aud Melbourne
proved commercial failure, that tue
stranded hull on the Mersey shore, READY
TO be broken up for few thousand pounds
worth Of old iron, may seem but reminis'
ceuce Of the fate reBestedly declared TO be
imminent and commonly believed to be
past.
1t is thirty years since she first put to sea
from the Thames and her passage down the
Channel was m6rred by shocking disaster
from the blow up OF her steam apparatus,
which cost ten lives but the laborious et-
forts to launch this enormous "Leviathan,"
as ste was al fret called, in 1857, from Mr.,
Scott. Russeli's building yard at Millwall had
been 0minous OF ill success. Men wereklil'
cd by the breaking of gear attached to by
draulic engines that slowly pushed her,
broadside on, into the comparatively mar
row river, and Mr. Brunei. the eminent en-
pineer, diving g few days afterwards, YVES
thought 10 be vic'im Of sore anxiety enc
severe disappointment.
One serviceabe end honorable perform
ance, the laying of an Atlantic telegraph
cable in 1866 is set down TO the credit OF
the Great Eastern; but experience has
shown that vessels OF moderate eizs can do
such work just as well. Ii is sad chapter
in the history Of marine architecture, and
some people must have lost at ope time and
another nearly million sterling altogether
by this immense mistake. The Great East.
ern might, perheps, have been converted
into a very commodious floating hotel,
moored In some tranquil bay she could
never have been coed sea going ship, OF
competed in speed. comfort, or safety, with
the admirable liners" of recent construc
ton. Her engines, indeed, were manifestiy
of insufficient power, and she rolled griev,.
ously for lack Of Z keel. The diueu@ions OF
the big ship were 691 feet engtb. eighty
three feet width snd sixty feet dfHth ca

ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE.

The GAZETTE, chronologically,
is in the N1NETIETH year of its ex.
istence, and is not only the Oldest
paper in the State, but, with few
exceptions, in the country.
Notwithstanding the fulness OF
its years, it has kept, and will con-
tinue to keep, abreast of the timeq
in all that pertains to NEWS paper,
furnishing its readers daily with a
perfect mirror Of passing events,
domestic and foreign.
Its facilities for obtaining news
as they increase are taken advan.
tage of and used for the benefit Of
its readers, who are thus kept
thoroughly posted as to all that is
of interest politically, socially, fo
nancially or commercially.
Special attention is given to mat.
ters concerning the State and its
welfare, while its local columns
contain all that is Of the slightest
interest to Alexandrians.
It's regular correspondence from
Washington and Richmond are fea,
lures Of peculiar interest, as attest.
ed by the eagerness with which
they are read and copied by other
papers, while its editorial depart
ment, conducted with reference to
the best interests Of the city, State
and country, will continue to adj
vocate what is believed to be right,
just, honest and patriotic.
With a view to the interest of
merchants, farmers and all inter-
ested, its commercial columns are
carefully edited and its market re-
ports are acknowledged by all to
be faithful and accurate.
Through all this section of the
state, ana ID all parts OF the coun-
try where Virginians have located,
there will the GAZETTE generally
be found, and thus as an advertis.
ing medium it has few equals out
side the large cities.
In the household, counting room
aud workshop it is an ever-welcome
visitor, acceptable alike to old and
young, the grave and the gay.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-02-19

lesser duty. The city of Hartford or the state of Connecticut. or those to whom belonged the charge of insuring safe building, perfect boiler and the proper care of the same, must take to them selves the awful consciousness of crimi- nal responsibility for the precious lives that went out in the gray dawn of yes terday morning.
 Those lives cannot be restored, the hearts that lie crushed and bleeding with the loss of some dear one cannot be comforted, but stern provision can be made that no such calamity will occur in future as result of mans indiffer- ence to man. Buddensieks must get no foothold in Connecticut, nor their structures receive countenance in the commonwealth. And men should not be put on guard where valuable lives are in their keep ing who are slaves to the cup in which turks moral and physical death.
 The city of Hartford and the families that have lost dear ones ill the horror will have the profound sympathy of all as they realize that in life we walk con- stantly in the shadow of the valley of death. It will bring home anew the thought of what shadows we are and what shadows we pursue.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-02-19
NO TARIFF LEGISLATION.

The democrats of the house, realizing that they cannot fix up any compromise tariff measure that would be satisfactory to opposing interests and that would make sufficient reduction of revenue have practically decided to make no effort ill that direction. Whatever may be MT Randall's desire to put through the Cowles measure reducing the internal revenue tax, or however urgently he may labor in it's behalf, there will be no time now, even if there was any disposi- tion, to reduce the revenues at this ses- sion. For this the democrats are not to blame. The responsibility lies with the republican party.
 The democratic house passed satis. factory measure of tariff reform-one that was formulated on right lines and promised the best results. The republi. can senate would have none of it, but instead increased the taxes against which the people have already complained and which by popular majority of nearly a hundred thousand they declared they wanted reduced. For the re- sponsibility of ignoring the popular demand and raising the taxes on the people let the republican party be held accountable. If they wish higher taxes let the next congress insure them-there will be no difficulty then in fixing the responsibility. As for the Fiftieth con- gress, its duty is plain. It is to pass its appropriation bills and anything else on which the parties can agree and adjourn. Let the tariff alone-heaven knows it is high enough now-since the republican senate will allow no revision except in the direction of higher taxes.
 There should be, and it is pleasant to realize that there will be, no further tariff legislation in the Fiftieth congress
