Rev. j. A, walter Dead.

The death of Rev. Father J. A. Walter re-
moves another of the persons connected with
the trial Of the Lincoln assassination conspira-
tors. Father Walter was Mrs. Surratt's con-
fessor, and was outspoken in his criticism of
the hanging of his parishoner. Archbishop
Chappell fearing a conflict with the civil au-
thOrities, laid Father Walter under an obliga-
ton not to tell what he knew of the trial until
% years should have elapsed. The term ex-
pired few years ago, and the priest wrote
paper for the Catholic Historical Society which
dealt with the trial and conspiracy. In it he
stated that Mrs Surratt knew nothing of the
object of the cOnspirators' meetings in her house.
Mrs. Surratt kept clearinghouse a few
blocks from st. Patrick's Church. During the
trial she claimed to have attended mass at the
church on Good Friday, and therefore could
not have been present at the meeting of the
conspirators. Father Walter made strenuous
efforts to obtain Communication of her sentence
or reprieve He failed in his efforts to obtain
an interview with President Johnson the day
before the execution. He was with her on
the scaffold,

Speaker Crisp's Reason for Declining.

Speaker Crisp's principal reason for declining
the Senatorship was his anxiety regarding the
tariff bill. The duty of appointing a CON-
mittee to confer with the Senate committee
and arrange a cOmpromise measure which may
receive the approval of the whole party in both
Houses devolves upon the Speaker The selec-
tion of these conferees might aid or hinder the
progress of the bill; in either event the Speaker
is responsible. He can also contribute more
than any other individual to the successful
passage of the bill through the House, so that
if Mr. Crisp has heretofore aided in carrying
out the party policy with regard to the tariff
it had become an absolute necessity that he
should remain in his present position if the
work commenced by the Democrats of the House
is to be completed.

A PROPOSED PENSION BILL,

The House Committee on Invalid Pensions
has ordered Mr.. Erdman to report favorably a
substitute for snndry bills relative 20 pensioned
State militiamen and persons not regularly
mustered into tho scrvice of the United States
The measure extends to all persons who were
disabled by wounds or injuries received in bat
tie while serving with United States troops or
under the command of United States officers
the benefits of existing pension laws, and is in-
tended to cover generally the class of cases now
reported by the COmmjttee on Private Acts.
No estimate of the number of such claims can
be given, as those filed in the committee and
the Pension Bureau include all kinds of dis
abilities, 4 large humber OF which are for dis
ease incurred in the service. The bill as re-
ported only extends the benefit Of the laws to
those who received wounds or other injuries.

The House of Representatives has not been
making very good record for dispatch in
transacting public business. All week before last
and part of last week the members fought over
the unseating of Mr.. Joy and the substitution
of Mr. O'Neill. The grounds on which Mr..
O'Neill contested the seat were purely techni-
cal. The laws of Missouri provide that the In
spectors of Election shall place their initials on
all ballots before they are deposited in the box.
Owing TO the earelessness of the Inspectors
eral hundred ballots were dropped without
being initiated; hence they were thrown out.
On the face of the returns Mr. Joy, the Repub
lican candidate, was elected, but with these
defective ballots eliminated Mr.. O'Neill had
majority Of the ballots cast. 1t is to be hoped
that the public business will be disposed of more
promptly now.

vanished. With clean cloth and the borax
water rub the silk vigorously on both sides,
being most careful not to rub wrinkles into it.
Use plenty of water. When all of the pieces
have been thus cleaned. rinse them in tub of
fresh warm water. Hold the pieces by the
edges so as to be able to souse them up and
down without wrinkling them in the least.
Put them on the table again, and with dry
cloth take up as much of the moisture as pos
sble. If the day be clear, put the pieces out
on the grass to dry; If cloudy, spread them on
newspapers and let them dry smoothly. The
point seems to be to avoid letting it wrinkle or
crease to rub out all the old wrinkles and not
to touch it with a hot iron.

The present political campaign ia
Delaware will be short, sharp and de-
cisive. The two great opposing forces
are SO evenly balanced in point o.
numbers and efficiency Of organization
that the outcome IS matter Of doubt
The Democratic party, being III power,
naturally has the better Of the situation,
but there are certain elements at work
the ultimate effect Of which upon the
fate Of the dominant party the shrewd
est politician cannot foresee,
There is no doubt but that the Repub.
lican managers have at command a large
corruption fund It remains to be seen
to what extent the electors Of our
little commonwealth will allow them
selves to be debauched.
II cannot be denied that the Peoples
party will have z certain following.
Notwithstanding the exposure Of Chair
man Bach's interest in the organization
OF the Independent labor movement which
resulted In the placing Of the Peoples
party ticket in the field It remains to
be seen from which party this new or
gRnization will draw the most NAL
contents.
The Prohibitionists are also a source OF
anxiety to the party leaders, but It
is generally conceded that they will draw
their strength principally from the Re-
publican ranks. Still, there is a number
Of Democrats who have taken to the cold
water cure. a notable instance being one
section Of Kent county where twenty
men, who were active Democratic work
ers in the last campaign, have
banded themselves together in a Prohibi.
ton League.
The business depression under DEM
ocratic administration will also have its
effect. If the hundreds Of men who were
and are out Of work will carefully study
the situation they will find that the de.
preston and stagnation were due to
Republican laws and will vote accord
ingly. 1t remains to be seen how many
of them will do It.
Many Democrats have been forced e
leave the city by reason Of want Of
employment II remains to bs seen
how many Of them will come back "a
vote.
The forcing Of Samuel Bancroft, Jr
Republican, upon the Democratic.
ticket has led to serious detection in til,
party, and il is growing daily. A mum
Der Of Democratic leaders who are indlg
nsnt because Of this action, threaten t,
put an independent ticket in the field
Il remains to be seen II they will do it.

VI what BENEFIT TO the Public
The great American public IS never
tired Of freaks, and the man or woman
who does something out Of the ordinary
has cinch on its pocket book. The man
with the abnormal stomach, who can eat
glass or carpet tacks, stew away 8
thousand or two Of oysters, or bite
through the greatest number Of pies,
is sure Of a good living at the expense
Of the curious, and the glutton who
thinks be can eat thirty partrldges Oh
successive days finds 20 difficulty IN
getting them, when his more needy
brother cannot get as many loavss Of
bread.

army sleeps in cell for getting on The

ont to beat his way around the world

grows fat.

English cavalry troupe, which stranded

city, jumped from the fridge at pough-
ksepsie. and his future is now assured.
The man who recently crossed the Al
lantic ocean in skiff and the pedes-
trian who was IN Wilmington last week
are alike seekers after money through
museum channels. It would be difficult
for anybody TO explain what has been
gained by the public. or will be gained
by these fea's
