laulie 4 Pacific Railroad. died Ia Chicago on Fri
day May p Miss Williamson was well known in
Washington, aud was one OF the handsomest young
ladies Of society during Gen. Grants last Admin
istTaton. Gen. Williamson has been soTely tried

Teavement.
Mrs. Daniel ButteriIeld gave a May-po!e lunch
con to Mrs Ulysses =. Grant on Thursday last mt

was study in flowers. There were five tables
The round one in the center of the room was open

A considerable sensation has been caused In the
Grand Army circles of New Hampshire over
the presentation TO tho President, by the New
Hampshire Delegation, the name of Hon. Frank
d. Currier Of Canaan, over that OF Gen. Twitcli-
ell, for Naval Officer at Boston; and OF Col.
Thomas l.. Cheney, of Ashland. over that of Col d.
s. Richardson. for Pension Agent mt Boston, The
appointments oil the veteran candidates have been
most persistently urged by their friends, and the
contest has been a long one. The soldiers are
quite free and outspoken in ther expressions of
Indignation over what they oharaotcrizo AS an
other triumph of ring politics. 1t Is thought that
the slight To the veterans in ignoring their cand-
dates will have effect To so anger their friends
within and without the Order, to seriously dis
turb the political situation in future.
Gen. Alvin Z. Hovey, of Indiana, is becoming
worse instead of better, aud his friends are greatly
alarmed over his condition. Some three months
ago. it will be remembered, Gov. Hovey was seized
with la grippe. This was followed by a very
acute form of rheumatism, and he was still suffer
ing from the latter trouble when dropsica tenden-
ces manifested themselves 1t is feared that he may
not live TO serve out his term We trust that such
will not be the case but that he may not only re-
cover, but may even serve another term. His death
would be a severe loss to the of the veterans

TIE narrow-gage railroad was the great
economic fad of Is years ago. Its sanguine
advocates believed that it was going to
cure all the evils from which farmers suf-
iered, destroy railroad combinations, reduce
rates of transportation, ETC. 1t became
the basis of great popular movement, in
which conventions were held, stump
speeches made, and farmers organized to
build roads. Thousands of miles were
actually built and put in running order.
Undoubtedly much good was accomplished,
but the illogicalness of the matter was the
assumption that there was some peculiar
virtue in three-foot gage which wider
cages did not possess. 1t was claimed to
be immensely cheaper than standard
gage, and it was shown that one could
be built and equipt in moderately
level country for as little rs $4,000 mile,
where the standard gage roads represented
an expenditure of from $4,000 to SIS, 900
mile. But n little figuring would have
shown that a standard-gage road could have
been built quite as cheaply, by using as
light iron rails, engines and cars, and ex-
pending as little for stations and terminal
facilities as the narrow-gage advocates pro-
posed. 1t has never been determined scien-
tiically which is the best gage for railroad.
1t may be that wider or narrower gage
than the present standard would be more
economical. The present standard was set
tied emprically. When men first began to
build wheeled vehicles they settled the pres
ent gage. This is shown by the marks in
ruts in the pavemcnts in the streets of Pom
peii. When men began 10 build railroads
the old-time freight wagons, which they
were intended to supplant. AS a vast
amount of the business now done by the rail-
roads of the country is transferred from one
to another il is great convenience to have all
the tracks the same width, so that the cars
can be run from one to another without the
trouble and expense of shifting the cargo.
This consideration led TO the abandonment
of the old broad-gage scheme, from which SO
much was expected and in which many
millions of dollars were expended, and il
has now led to the entire abandonment of
the narrow-gage system. The Denver &
Rio Grande Railroad, which was the first OF
the kind, and the success of which was the
main impetus Of the movement, is now the
only narrow gage remaining in the country,
and it will be changed to standard gage
within 80 days. So passeth away the glory
of the narrow-gage, upon which there has
been such flood of burning eloquence ex-
pended

TARsNEY is afflicted with claim-agent-
phobia. This is common complaint among
soldier-haters. The claim agents are guilty
of the awful crime of trying to aid in secur-
ing the veterans their rights, therefore they
are deceitful above all things and desper-
ately wicked. Before he was elected to
Congress Tarsney made his living by fees
received for his services as lawyer for de-
Tending criminals, prosecuting suits IN the
courts, etc. Where has he gained any right
to blackguard the men who appear for the
soldiers before the Pension Bureau, and for
fees that he would scorn to consider, labor
for years to get some poor veteran his long
withheld rights?
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1890-05-08

THE recreant Tarsney, of Missouri, who has
taken the odious place in this Congress occu-
pied previous ones by Al. Warner, of Ohio,
and L. S. Bragg, is fearfully alarmed, every
time pension measure comes up, lest some
skulller or coflee-boiler should be benefited.
lie wonld rather that 90 deserving soldiers
should be deprived of what is due them than
that one deadbeat should be accidentally
benefited. This is the hollowest kind OF
sham. He has made himself willing eats
paw for the bitter rebels and cOpperheads,
who fight everythingintended TO benefit the
Union soldier. Amos Cummings, the brill
liant Representative from New York, and
who is rs sturdy Democrat as Tarsney, and
was first-class soldier, crushed him out the
other day by telling the story of an old
Kentucky mountaineer, who was found
cracking away with his rifle at n big coon he
thought he saw on tree Closer examina-
ton showed that what he thought was n
coon was merely large-sized gray back hang
ing from his eyebrow. The application was
so oh vious that the House laughed uproar-
iously.

Mr.. J. G. CARLISLE is very solemn
man. If there il any humor in his compo-
sition it never mauifests itself, and he has
apparently no sense Of the ridiculous. This
enabled him to carry through with straight
face his buncombe opposition 10 the passage
Of the Morrill, pension bill on the ground
OF lack Of consideration. If there is any
public measure which has becn considered
TO utter WEAKNESS in the last decade it is the
principle and details embodied in the Nor
rill pension bill. There is nothing that Mr..
Carlisle has heard more about; there is
nothing upon which he was more carefully
informed by scores Of able speakers in the
six years that he held the gavel in the
House. Virtually the same bill was passed
thrice while he ruled the House, and once it
came near being passed over the Presidents
veto. His stock Of information on the mat
ter got so extensive Mt last that he refused
10 recognize any Member who rose to in
crease il, and he maintained this attitude
during the last session Of the 50lh Congress.
TO men who are familiar with these facts his
plea of lack of knowledge was irresistibly
comic, but his gravity is 80 profound that
he really seemed TO be in earnest in what he
said.

TIE departure Of Emin Boy from Zanzi-
bar for the equator ut the head Of large
body of Nubian soldiers, porters etc, and,
accompanied by staff of German officers,
shows that Germany is taking time by the
iorelock in her rivalry with England for
the possession Of Central Africa. There is
already n report that the Germans have
established themselves at Mount Kcnia,
and are getting the country roundabout
under their control. Inasmuch as we have
no commercial or other designs upon that
country, we can look with perfect indiller-
ence upon the competition of England and
Germany for the control of its products.
We can be sincerely glad whichever wins,
for it will be greatly to the benefit of the
people and of civilization to have that con-
troll in the hands of great progressive
power like England or Germany. This
would be much better than to have such Il
power rs Portugal or Spain in control. 1t
must be admitted that, while aggressively
looking out for her own interests in the bar
bar0us and semi-civilized countries she has
acquired, England has sill given them much
better Government than they had before she
laid her powerful hands upon them. The
same will doubtless be true of such colonies
as Germany may acquire. But Spain and
Portugal have rarely done anything to inn
prove the lands they have acquired. Their
only desire has been TO squeeze out all the
money possible.
