THE GLOOM IN THE WHITE HOUSE

There is Grape on the doors of the
White House. Within, for the second
time in the nations history, lies the
inanimate form of presidents loved
and loving wife. In the presence of
the greatest of all solemnities stands
the chief executive of mighty people,
unmindful of all else save the great
sorrow which has come upon him.
For the worlds highest honors he has
no thought. In the midst of the
splendors of his surroundings he sits
In the darkness of desolation. His
gray head is bowed above the bier of
the noble wife and mother with whom
he has shared the joys and sorrows of
nearly forty years. He stands so near
the veil which separates mortality and
immortality and time from eternity,
that mayhap he hears the music
Of the angel choir which greets
the advent of the spirit of
his loved one to the throne of the Most
High. Round about him, eager to
offer all the consolation which human
hearts can give, stand his trusted
friends and counsellors, while from all
parts of the nations vast domain the
deepest sympathy of a great people is
extended. His fellow citizens will not
intrude upon his grief, but they will
with one accord do everything in their
power to help him bear the heavy cross
which has been laid upon him.

On the very day that the Grand Army
veterans had their review in Washing
ton one of their number, General Daniel
Ullmann, eighty-two years old, died at
bis home in Nyack, on the Hudson. The
colored people should enshrine him as
one of their patron saints. He it was
who organized the first negro troops
during the war and himself led south
the first colored brigade.

BOSTON MERCHANTS DINE
And Hear About Reciprocity-Mr Blaine
Sends His Regrets.

Boston, January THE annual BAN
quet of the Boston Merchants Associa-
ton occurred tonight at the Vendome
Hotel. Two hundred and fifty members
and guests were present. Secretary
Blaine, who was invited, was unable to
be present. Reciprocity with South
America was the subject discussed. A
reception was held in the hotel parlor at
4. 80. An hour later President Jonathan
A. Lane led the procession to. the BAN
quet hall, with Hon. j. G. Burrows, rep
resentative from Michigan on his arm.
The hall was elaborately decorated.
Among the guests were the Mexican and
Venezuelan ministers to this country, ,ex-
Postmaster General James, Hon. A. w.
Beard, ex-Gov Ames, Hon. w. Z. Bar
rett, Hon. Thos. N. Hart and Gov. Tut
tie of New Hampshire.
At 7.40, President Lane delivered
brief address in which his reference to
Secretary Blaine was loudly applahded
as was also his prophecy of commercial
union with Canada. In the absence of
Gov. Russell, Speaker W. E. Barrett well
coined the foreign representatives in be-
half of the state. He mentioned Mr..
Blaines name which called out tumul-
tuous applause.
Ex-Postmaster General James spoke on
needed reforms in the postal service. He
said the post Office is the executive de-
partment nearest the masses, and with
the creation of the savings banks system
will be perfect. He said we wanted
cheaper ocean postage. Domestic rates
are low enough, but we want better SER
vice. He advocated divorcing the post
office from politics.
Senor Don Matias Romero, the Mexi-
can minister, referred to the Mexican
railway system, aided by American capi-
tai, and expressed hopes of commercial
union soon.
Hon. W. E. Curtis, secretary of the
Bureau of American Republics, spoke
briefly on the tariff and reciprocity. He
announced that the letter Secretary
Blaine had prepared to send by him, had
failed to reach him owing to the Secreta-
ry's illness yesterday, He offered Mr.
Blaine's congratulations and regrets.
Senior Don Nicanor Bolet-Peraza, Ven
ezuelan minister, expressed desire for
the unity of America and the autonomy
of the several republics and closed with
a toast to the market of the future with
its marvellous mutual commerce, its sis
ter sovereignties making the rights of one
the cause of all and commanding the re-
spect of the world.
The last speaker was Congressman Ju-
lius G. Burrows OF Michigan, who gave a
detailed description and explanation of
the reciprocity section of the tariff.

CANADIAN MUD SINGING.
Now Lady Macdonald Is Accused of
Wrong Doing.

TORONTO, Can, January THE Re-
gina Leader, conservative, the other day
made a charge to the effect that while
the Hon. Mr.. Dewdney was lieutenant
governor of the northwest territories, he
used his official knowledge to have land
adjoining the future town site of Regina
coralled and that certain parsonage at
Ottawa who welded great influence, was
in the pool.
Today's Globe, commenting on the
above, says: ''It is not worth while
mincing matters. The parsonage re-
ferred to is Lady Macdonald, the wife of
the premier of the day. She is virtually
accused by this Conservative Journal of
having been a partner with Mr. Dewd-
ney in a transaction which all concerned
must have known to be shady and dis
reputable. 1t would be well for Parlia-
ment to order an investigation"

HILLS BIG SCHEME.
More About the Plot Regarding the Sc
lection of Electors.

ALBANY, January THE story which
comes from Pittsburg to the effect that
Senator Hill contemplates the scheme of
placing the election of the Presidential
electors of the state in the hands of the
legislature is not new here. 1t has been
quietly discussed this week, but general
ly discredited on the theory that it might
defeat Hill in the National Convention if
New York state was sure for the Dem0c-
racy. If Democratic legislature as
sumed the authority of choosing the
Presidential electors before the Nation
al Convention any New York man would
do.
A new phase has been given to the
story, however, which entirely changes
the complexion of the rumored scheme.
1t is said that the probable change in the
method of choosing electors will not be
proposed in regular session. The plot
which, it is said, has been Matched in the
minds of the Democratic Big -Four, is to
defer the extraordinary session,
which must be held to pass the reappor-
tionment bill, until after the National
Convention has met. New York will
then hold out to the National Democra-
cy as an inducement to make its choice
the nominee of the party, the deliverance
of 36 electoral votes of New York with
out the expenditure of single cent.
If the bargain is struck, then Gov.
Flower can recommend for the consider
alton of the legislature, according to con-
stitutional requirement, in an extra ses-
sion, bill transferring the choice of
electors from the people to the legisla-
ture.
The report is not entirely without
foundation. Within month the ex-
Governor remarked to friend, who was
in Albany, that he would not be sur
prised if the election of the Presidential
electors was transferred this year to the
legislature. Since that time the same
hint has been dropped to several promi-
nent Democrats, and the fact that there
was so much discussion concerning the
matter during the organization of the
legislature indicates that the scheme is
being thoroughly considered.
1t is believed that Cleveland has OBJ
tanned wind of the story. Since the de-
cision of the Court of Appeals Cleveland
told gentleman who used to be one of
the Cleveland fishing parties, both dur
ing his gubernatorial and Presidential
term, that he felt quite positive that he
would not be the nominee of the next
National Convention.

AS SHERMAN SEES 1T.
Mr.. Blaine's Health and the Presidency
Free Silver Bill VIII Be Vetoed.

PITTsBURe, Pa, January 7.-Hon.
John Sherman was in the city tonight
en- route to Washington. Concerning
the Presidential question, he said Secre-
tary Blaine could have the nomination
if he wanted it, but he did not think his
health would permit his acceptance.
With Mr.. Blaine out of the way, he
thought President Harrison should be
nominated. His administration had
been wise and clean. Regarding nation
al legislation, Mr. Sherman said a free
silver bill would pass both houses and
besvetoed by the President. A tariff
would pass the House only to be defeat
ed in the Senate.

THE DEAL MADE.
Parsons in Control of the New York and
New England.

New YORK, January THE Sun to-
day says: The change in the manage
ment of the New York and New England
Railroad Company, which was predicted
in these columns, was formally an
.nounced yesterday, after meeting of
the hoard of directors in. this city.
Charles Parsons, .cx-president of the
Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg rail-
railroad, and his friends are now in con-
tlol. .--.. ..-.@ -
The designations of Directors Jonas III.
French, CIV. Sinclair and A. w. Nc
Kesson of Boston, were submitted to the
board and were accepted. Messrs. Aus
tin Corbin and Charles Parsons of New
York, and f.. III. Prince of Boston, were
elected to succeed the retiring directors.
The resignation of Mr.. j. A. Bostwick,
as president of the road, was also ac-
cepted, and Mr.. Corbin was elected in
bis place. Mr.. Bostwick becomes chair
man of the board of directors, which Of
flee was created for him.
The appointment of Mr.. Corbin as
president was surprise to many, but it
was taken to mean that the New Eng
land-Long Island alliance will be contin-
ued; also that the New England win both
extend its system, and that it will estab-
lish relations with companies with which
Mr. Corbin is known to be influential 1t
is said that the appointment of Mr.. Cor
bin as president was made a condition
by Mr.. Parsons before he decided to take
hold hold of the property. The purpose
is to have at the head of the New Eng
land road man of strong executive
ability, with unlimited capacity for work.
Whether Mr.. Parsons, by his recent ac-
QUESTION of stock, individually controls
the road and has invited Mr.. Corbin and
friends to help him manage it, or wheth-
er they are all large holders of stock,
will, in time, become clear.
