The country will not permit Senator
Evarts to have more than a very brief
retirement from the public service
because the rare qualities of head and
heart which he has brought 20 every posi-
ton which he has adorned cannot now be
spared.
In him, as in no other statesman of
this century, are combined the erudition
of the scholar, the accurate processes of
the logician, the fervor and Imagination
of the orator, the accumen of profound
lawyer, the address and capacities of a
man of affairs, the sturdy integrity of the
pilgrim, the devoted patriotism of the
revolutionary fathers, the humanity and
benevolence of practical christian, the
courtesy and courtliness of knight, the
refinement and sympathy of a woman,
the gentleness and artless simplicity of
child.
In his retirement from the senate the
public will lose from that place of duty
and authority an indefatigable and wise
servant, and the poor and humble of his
countrymen Jealous and able friend.
He will be succeeded in the senate by
Mr.. Hill, an adroit politician from the
state of New York.
Who would question the wisdom of
Providence if Senator Evarts should be
called by the voices of the good people Of
the great Empire state to rescue its gov
eminent from the Tsmmany democracy?

The senate having under consideration the bill
III. r. 1l0i5) to amend and supplement the election
laws of the United States and to provide for the
more efficient enforcement of such laws, and for
other purposes
Mr.. Evarts said:
Mr.. President: Although from the time
the subject of the preparation of bill to
secure the integrity of elections of men,
bers of congress was first brought before
the committee on privileges and elections
l have taken a great interest in it and
have followed it with that interest to the
present time, l have never thought it nee
essary or at all useful that should under
take principal part in the conduct ofthe
bill or even in the debate on the floor.
These matters were well confided to the
eminent senators who, in espousal of this
bill, have SO thoroughly, as well as 50
eloquently, presented the views of the
committee of which they are members
The chairman, the senator from Massa-
chusetts Mr.. Hoarl and his colleague on
that committee, the Senator from Wis
consin Mr.. Spoonerl, have given to the
details as well as to the principles of the
bill and the constitutional views which
lie at the foundation of this proposed
legislation an entirely adequate presenta-
ton to the senate in this debate.
Mr.. President, shall not feel it at all
necessary to repeat the arguments that
have been presented on this side of the
chamber, but only to show, if may be at
all successful in the effort, how import
ant this matter is to the people of this
country, to the two houses of congress, to
the political party that is in charge of the
conduct of the government, and not less
important to the portions of the country
where the operations of this bill are
expected to be most energetic, and where
they are, in INV judgment, most necessary.
have no complaint, to make, Mr.. Presi-
dent, of the length to which the discussion
in the consideration of this bill in the SEN
ate has been protracted. A parliament, a
congress, is the place primarily of debate.
1t is here that are assembled in authentic
representation, the opinions of all por-
tons of the country and all views among
the people. Here it is that, face to face,

and with such logic as may be brought to

ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.

John Candee, young man who was
struck in the breast while adjusting a
belt in the Derby lumber mill, cannot
live. His injuries are very curious, for
while his lung is injured by the con-
cussion of the blow, the outside skin is
not broken. His body is swollen and
mortified, and he is in terrible agony.
Four small boys, while rowing on the
Connecticut river at Hartford, Tuesday
afternoon, found a small box floating
on the surface. They picked it out of
the water and in removing the cover
out rolled the body of a partly formed
infant. The boys rowed to the Hart
ford shore and notified the authorities
After an unsuccessful examination of
the discovery for marks that might give
some clue to the parents, the body was
again placed in the box, together with a
large stone, and dropped i'll the river.
George Brennan, twenty three years
of age, unmarried, who said he came
from New Bedford, made an attempt to
board the Gilt edge" express train at
New London Tuesday evening, while
the train was rapidly moving out of the
depot, and had his left foot crushed be-
meath the wheels, necesstating its am
putation above the ankle. He said he
was on his way to New Haven, where
he hoped to find employment. He had
but forty-O one cents.

POSTAL RULES EXPLAINED.
Postmasters Warned Against Violation
of the Law.

POstmasters Warned Against Violation
of the Law.
Postmaster Doherty has received a
circular warning him against violations
of the law which forbids sending
written matter at less than letter rates
of postage and reminding him that any
communication, either wholly or par ly
written, and without reference to its
character, is to be counted as matter of
the first class, and It quires the payment
of the letter rate of two cents an ounce,
Government loses every year large
part of the revenue to which it is en-
titled through failure to enforce this
rule strictly. The trouble has its origin,
of course, in popular ignorance, but
secondarily it is the fault of postmasters
themselves, and the people can hardly
be expected to know more about the
postal laws than the fuuctionaries of
| the government.
The introduction of the typew ritter into
| general use gave rise to Il number of
questions, to answer which the depart
ment was obliged to intlict more or less
hardship. The broad basis upon the law
makes its distinctions between printed
and written matter is that printed
sheet is one of an indefinite number of
| Impressions, precisely the same, for cir
culatlOn among a number of different
persons, whereas the written missive
| has an individual character, and is in
tended to convey special message to a
special person or group of persons. APP
| plying this to the case of type written
circular, for instance, it is hard to see
why a number of impressions of the
same matter, printed at the same in
slant by the use of manifolding paper,
do not come within the terms of exemp
ton. But the department says, no. Let
precisely the same matter, however, be
duplicated by hektograph or some
similar process instead of the insertion
of carbon paper between the sheets and
the department permits it to go as
printed matter.
Still more troublesome than the ques-
tions arising from the use of the type
writer are those which have sprung
from the use of metal type in imitation
of typewriting. Some of the manufac-
turers have gone even to the extreme of
making the alignment of their letters a
little imperfect, and raising their sharp
punctuation marks a trife above the
general level, SO that they will partly
pierce the paper, as the same points are
likely to do in the machine. This is a
risky business; for the department
theory is that when q business man
takes so much trouble to deceive the
eye of customer, he must take the
consequences of deceiving also the eyes
of pOstmasters who handle the matter
and be prepared to pay extra for the
privilege.

since 1885, when Joe Davis landed the
prize, there has been no such exciting
struggle as that which is still on. OF
the eight heats trOtted Miss Alice got
the first in 2:174, the fastest mile Of the
day, but in the third Weeks laid up so
far with her that she did not get inside
the distance flag. Abbe V has two
heats, so have Little Albert and Night
ingale, while the last two made dead
heat in the fourth. Under the rule
amended at the last congress of the
National Trottlng association, Little
Albert and Nightingale are alone eligi-
BILE to start in the ninth heat, though
more than one experienced turfman dis
putes this application of the new
law. The section is very plain,
however, and Abbie stands ruled
out with third money to her credit.

great exciteme nt when Little Albert and
Nightingale came upon the track for a
final effort in the $4,000 race. Little
Albert was at first the favorIte, but it
was discovered that he was lame and
could easily have been distanced. Before
the start was made odds of 100 to 20
were given on Nightins ale. Nightingale
broke at the start and Albert forged
two lengths a cad, but on the home
stretch Nightingale easily went to the
front and finished dozen lengths ale I'd

POLICE COURT.
Mrs Fred StrOhacker's Assailant HELD
For The Superior Court.


For The Superior Court.
Tie case against Patrick CALVIN,
charged with assault with intent to
commit rape, was heard before Judge
Cowell to-day. Calvin, when asked
whether he was guilty or not, replied in
sheepish tone, Guilty" His appear
ance bellies his name, for he looks no
more like an Irishman than does a
Chinaman. He presents the appearance
of tramp of the worst species. Yester-
day morning Mrs Fred Strohacker, who
lives on the Bunker Hill road, was per-
forming her household duties when a
knock came to the door. She opened
it and found standing i'll the doorway a
seedy looking tramp, who asked for
something to eat. She gave him some
bread and butter and also a glass of
water which he asked for. He went
away but in a few minutes Mrs Stro-
hackers little girl came running into
the house saying that the tramp was re-
turning again. He came to the door
and asked for some more water. Mrs
Strohacker was handing him the cup to
help himself when he seized her and
tried to force her into the house. She
pulled herself away after the man had
tore her dress. Her screams for help
attracted David Stoddard's attention.
Calvin then ran into the woods where
he was pursued by Stoddard and his son
who captured him and brought him to
the station house. He refused to say
anything when questioned this morn
ing and Judge Cowell bound him over
to the next term of the superior court
under 50 600 bonds.
In the cases against Hannah Cutler,
for keeping a house of ill fame and
selling and keeping liquor with intent &c
sell, Attorney O'Neill entered a demur.
rer, which was overruled and the court
imposed fine of $50 and costs for the
first case and $40 and costs on each OF
the others. An appeal was taken under
bonds of 5000, furnished by David Stod
dard.
Patrick j. Kane was sent to the towr
house for 30 days for breach of the
