Waterbury evening Democrat., 1894-06-02
The sunday Morning Visit.

This event occurred on Saturday, May
g. That night it occurred to the secretary
that the first paragraph of the schedule
providing for the repeal of the bounty fix
ed the date of repeal for July l, 1894,
while the duty on sugar was not to be OPP
crative until Jan. l, 1898. Knowing it to
be the intention of the committee to issue
print OF the amended bill on Monday,
Secretary Carlisle on Sunday morning
took a coupe and called at the house of
Senator Jones for the purpose of directing
attention to the discrepancy. If the
bounty should be repealed on July l, 1894,
and duty should not be imposed until six
months thereafter, there would be a pc
Rod during which there would be neither
bounty nor duty.
Mr.. Carlisle was satisfied that the dis
crcpancy would be discovered after the
bill was printed, but he naturally desired
to save the committee from the criticism
which would follow so palpable a blunder.
Finding that Senator Jones had gone to
the capitol, the secretary drove there and
found Senators Mcpherson, Jones and
Vest and Representative Breckenridge of
the ways and means committee engaged
in going over the bill. That visit on Sun
day morning. May +, was the only visit
made by Mr. Carlisle to the committee
without an invitation, and the change al
luded to is the only original suggestion he
made in connection with the formulation
of the bill
With reference to the giving of a letter
TO Mr.. Havemeyer, introducing that gen
tleman to Senator Mills, the following
statement is made: That was a mere mat
ter of courtesy and routine. When Mr..
Havezneyer presented himself at the treas
ury department, he was informed that he
should call upon those who were framing
the bill
Mr.. Havemeyer had slight acquaintance
with Mr.. Mills, and in order 30 save time

Decision in Reference to Coupons.

On Thursday last, the Court of APP
peals of Virginia rendered a decision
declaring coupon contracts void. This
decision was made in the case of the
Commonwealth U.s. Mccullough from
the Corporation court of Norfolk.
The decision of the court is based up
on the decision of the United States
Supreme Court in the case of Vashon
.0S. Greenhow.
Under the coupon contract funding
bill of n and the Mccullough bilD it
was provided that coupons should be
received for all taxes due the Common
wealth. But in the Vashon case, the
Supreme Court of the United States
decided that the State was not bound
to receive coupons for school taxes and
the Virginia Court of Appeals now
holds that as the coupon contract is
illegal in one particular, it is illegal as
whole and therefore void.
The decision involves $3.50, 900 of out
standing coupons which were not fund
ed under the Olcott settlement. 1t was
the purpose of the holders of these
coupons to tender them for taxes and
to compel the State to receive them, or
compromise with the holders, but this
decision forces them to accept the
Olcott settlement or nothing.
Judge Lewis dissented from the deci-
sion of tho court as bainp wroap both
in law and morals.

Hon. H. st. q. Tucker.

Too often is it the case, particularly
in the South, when representative in
Congress has served about two terms
that the restless disposition of our
people, coupled with the cupidity of
some leading politicians, seeks to con-
sign him to oblivion. Craftsmanship
is not a consideration nor is party or
country's service. We are gratified
that to day this oft repeated abuse
finds no Judgment among the people
of the First District, and we begin to
flatter ourselves that our people are
rising above the petty chickering's for
public office and will give honor where
honor is due and unanimously endorse
the action of faithful public servant
whose record has been one of I'M
PARALLEL usefulness to the people of
this district. Therefore our interest is
centered on one not so fortunate; one
whose deeds are our common property
NOT of State alone, but of a nation;
one whose name and fame has not been
eclipsed by any so young in years and
political life We refer to the Hon. FL.
st. George Tucker, of the Tenth Dis
trict. He has enrolled his name on
the pages of the nations history and
entwined it in Democratic and free
mems hearts. He is honOred by ma
ton and cherished by his State. Yet
the subtle influences to which we have
referred are at work No doubt they
are worthy men who are envious of his
reputation and would fain emulate
him and wear his toga. But it is not
right. He belongs to Virginia, and if
the good people of the tenth fail to APP
preciate his services nine-tenths of Vir
ginia ask that they be not deprived of
one so faithful to their interests. There
will be enough opposition this fall
from Republican ranks; let not Demo-
Gratis weaken their ause, but present
unanimous and unbroken front to the
foe. Let Harry Tucker, with other
faithful representatives, continue to
shine where their light is not hidden.

health and spirits, but when the train
came rolling in he exclaimed, "Fare-
well, we worms of earth," and leaped
from the platform and thrust his head
on the track before the engine. He
was instantly killed before the eyes of
nearly one hundred people. His hor-
rified wife fell fainting, and is now
raving mad. No motive can be ascrib-
ed for the deed except sudden insanity.
