The eettvsbure Battle Field.

A bill to make the battle field of Gettys-
burg national park viii come before the
next congress. Gen. Daniel f. Siclles
has declared that his express and single
purpose in returning to congress in his
Old age is to secure the passage of such a
law.
Tho Gettysburg field covers an area
eight miles long and averaging one mile
in width. Nearly half Of it is now owned
by ,hc Battle Field Memorial Association,
Il northern institution. The remainder,
including the Round Tops, is in the hands
OF private owners. The private owners
have granted concessions to steam and
electric railway companies to build roads
through their possessions and upon the
famous omincncCs. In the construction
Of one OF these roads il will be necessary
to cut the trees and underground in the
DEVILS Den, thus destroying the histori-
cal and somi-mysterious appearance of the
place. Another will run directly across
the line OF Pickett's charge, and in the
building of each il will be necessary to
blast, grade and excavate until the aspect
of the famous field will be changed en-
dancing pavilions, flying horses, etc, will
be erected on Little Round Top for the
purpose of attracting picnic parties.
The vandalism Of such occurrences
would shock the country. Gettysburg is
made sacred to the whole country by the
blood of the sons of every section of it, and
no such Dissertation should be allowed.
Ia Of l. f.f-S
place an effort will be made to pass a bill
of the kind suggested The government
has already appropriated $4,000 for the
purpose of marking the confederate lines
of battle. But should the building of
railroads through the field be permitted,
this outlay would be in vain; the road
grading would destroy the marks.
The monuments on the Gettysburg field
are pronounced to be works of art. Along
the federal lines, in the Bloody Angle and
elsewhere, magnificent memorial stones
have been erected to the federal dead.
They represent a cost in money of some
thing like 81 100000, and other monuments
are being added to the number year after
year. Among the whole number there
are, it is believed, only two confederate
monuments. The memorial association
owning the field will not permit the cree
ton on its land of confederate monuments.
However, should the proposed public park
bill be passed by congress it is likely that
a clause permitting the erection of monu-
ments to the confederate dead along the
confederate lines would be included in it,.
And then every section of the south rep
resented at Gettysburg should see to it
that the memory of its heroes is perpetu-
ated in suitable stones.

Liberty for Cuba is in the indefinite
future. The uprising did not amount to
a rebellion: twas merely revolt The
Sartorius brothers were deceived by
their friends, who led them to believe
that the people were ripe for an up
rising, and would flock to their support.
They probably also expected help from
the revolutionary societies in this coun-
try But the United States government
could not permit armed men in ships pro-
vided with munitions of war to leave this
country TO fight against a friendly power.
American sympathy may have been with
the Cuban autonomists. But sympathy
does not win battles. There are people
who do doubt the sincerity of the Sarto-
rius brothers. They say the government
officials in Cuba employ men to act as in
surgents periodically; to take up arms and
threaten to blow every royalist to pieces.
The alleged object is to make the authori-
ties at Madrid believe it necessary to keep
a large force of troops on the island The
presence of the troops affords the officials
an opportunity to grow fat on per-
true. 1t cannot be doubted, how
ever, that many of those connected with
the late unpleasantness" were actuated
by purely patriotic motives. These will
pack their patriotism away on ice figur-
atively speaking, to keep over the warm

The Sham Poisoning Case.

Poison seems to be coming into favor
with murderers Following the Harris.
the Barnaby, the Buchanan, the Latimer
and other notable poisoning cases of the
recent past comes the story of a case at
Princeton, N. J., that bids fair to eclipse
them all.
The victim was young man 20 years of
age named John Sham. The suspected
murderer is his mother. Mrs. Sham is
described as tall and angular woman
of so years, but with a motherly face set
off by kindly blue eyes-the last kind of a
woman one would suspect of so horrible a
deed. Yet circumstantial evidence goes
to show that she murdered her boy by
slow degrees with mercurial poison
Some time ago Mrs. Sham had her SON.
life insured, paying the premium herself
Shortly afterward he was taken sick. The
physician who was called found him SUI
fering with what he diagnosed as a mild
attack of gastritis. The usual remedies
were prescribed, but the patient continued
to grow worse and finally, after a month
of extreme suffering, died. 1t is the theory
of the authorities that Mrs. Sham sat by
her son day after day, saw him wasting
away, heard his agonized means and at
the same time continued to doze him with
poison in quantities to make death slow
but sure. She was after the insurance
money
Certain circumstances connected with
the young mans death aroused the sus-
picions of the company in which young
Sham was insured and an inspector was
sent to Princeton to investigate them. The
Inspector arrived shortly after Shann's
death and Immediately began making in
quiries among the people of the town and
at the drag stores. What he learned con
firmed him in tho suspicion that there had
been foul play and he determined that an
autopsy should be made. The au-

night the body was cut open by unknown
parties and every vital organ, except a
part of one kidney and the brain, was re

men came to her house in the dead of
night and that one of them held her while
the others cut the body. The Police
theory is that Mrs Sham, with the aid
of her cousin, an undertaken, did il in
order to destroy the evidence of poisoning
that would have fallen into the hands Of
experts at the autopsy. However, the
small piece of kidney left was sufficient to
show the presence of mercurial poison in
the body. Even the small piece of kidney
contained sufficient quantity to cause

The movement in the French Chamber

French term signifying a grant or

the tariff or tax which is levied upon all
food products brought into the cities from

countries. The market gardeners pay the
tax upon entering the city and when they

An old New York waiter explained to a
reporter recently why there was so much
dissatisfaction among the walters of that
city. Said he: Lazy and mischievous
leaders in their union have actually made
the credulous fools believe that they can
live by robbery. They have thrown up
places where they get $50 per month,
weeks vacation every year, and support
if they are sick, and thcy have done so in
the belief that they can get rich by
swindling the visitors in the fair grounds.
Their plan is to pay out of their own
rockets for the food the customers order
and then to collect as much as they dare
to from the customers. That is why the
newspapers are talking about sandwiches
being 40 cents, about tea being % cents.
and the most modest luncheon costing
81 10" The scheme, if there is such a
scheme among Chicago walters, will
probably be squelchcd at once by the fair
managers. Already the management has
notified restaurant keepers that there
must be no eXtortion, and the restaurant
and hotel people, in and out of the
grounds. viii probably see that they do
not take lot Of highwaymen into their
employ.

to the well-grounded fear that

MORE DEMOCRATIC HARMONY.

If Mr.. Hugh j. Carroll does not sue
ceed in his efforts to get Colonel Honey
into harmony with the Democratic ma
chine in the northern part of the state
it will not be because of a failure to use
his club vigorously. His latest invita-
ton to the Newport statesman to get
into line seems to be almost irresistible.
Here it is: "a fool and his money are
soon parted-Mr. Van Aliens especially,
when both run into the hands of sharp
ers like Mr.. Honey"
dramatically this may be little bow
legged but then its meaning is so clear
that the Newport colonel cannot fail to
understand it. But is Mr.. Carroll wise
in speaking so plainly about his Newport
confrere? Certainly the political god
father Of the Ochre Point millionaire
can if he chooses crush the hopes of the
ex-boss of obtaining seat in the house
of representatives next January.
Last April Mr.. Carroll was candi-
date for the general assembly and had
his name put opposite that of Mr..
Jencks, the Republican candidate.
Mr.. Jencks was elected. however, on
the second trial, but that didn't deter
Mr.. Carroll from putting in claim for
the seat. He probably reasoned that
Mr.. Honey and his cohorts having un-
seated Messrs. Landers and Hoxsie with
out warrant or justification could make
place for him by resort to equally
reprehensible methods.
For some reason or other it was
deemed advisable to go through the
form of giving hearing on Mr..
Carroll's petition to be given a seat to
which he was never elected, and this
duty devolved upon the committee on
elections of which Col. Honey is chair
man.
The petition is still in the hands of the
committee, and it Is for this reason we
question Mr.. Carroll's wisdom in max
ing remarks which may excite Colonel
Honey's resentment. At all events some
interesting developments may be looked
for when these two "leaders," who
have exchanged such pleasant epithe is
as sharper" "liar" and guerrilla" the
one as petitioner for place and the other
as the judge Of his title to it.

YIELDING TO sPOILsMEN.

1t is now announced that President
Cleveland will hereafter make appoint
ments on the recommendations made by
the heads of departments, owing to the
tremendous pressure put upon him I'M
der the present arrangements by those
desiring places. Hitherto, it is said, he
has personally investigated the petitions
in favor of office-seekers and awarded
the prizes himself after careful consid-
GRAFTON. 1t is little unfortu-
nate that the new rule was not
adopted prior to the Van Allen appoint
ment, for it would have relieved the
president from the very serious charge
of rewarding personal campaign contri-
buttons by fat offices abroad. Ii the
Italian mission will have an effect upon
Mr.. Van Allen similar to that which it
had on Willie Waldorf Astor it will not
be an entirely ill wind that blows Van
Allen across the sea to Italy. We can
spare him.
But this yielding to the spoilsmen is a
disappointment. There have been so
many admirable traits about President
Cleveland that it seems a pity that he
should fall in division over the spoils.
The pressure of the great unterrified,
however, is too strong to be overcome;
1t proposes to be recognized, and recog-
nized it will be. Those who thought
that the resignation of Headsman
Quincy would interfere with removals
and appointments but little understood
the workings of the Democratic mind.
Now there are eight Quincys at work,
and the only difference that will be
noted will be in the rapidity with which
heads fall and their success sion by other
heads.
