Rolstering up The Lodge Bin.


Congressman Danforth, a Know
Nothing pa, ercrlleNce, and who
would not be re- elected, il the
people OF his district have any self
respect and patriotism, has intro
duced bill preventing the admis-
sion OF insane persons. That
sounds very well, but It is a mere
subteriuge to deceive Congressman
into passing the Lodge bill,
The act Of March 3, 1891, pro-
hibits the introduction oil idiots,
insane persons, paupers, or such
likely to become a public charge,
persons suffering from loathesome
diseases, or convicted ot felony
and infamous crimes, polygamists,
&c, Furnishes captains with fine
and imprisonment, and forces them
to take back within a year after
la1ding undesirable persons.
Why. then, Mr.. Danforth's new
bill, WI en- the Government has al
ready all authority to keep out in
sane persons9
1t is a mean subteriuge in favor
Of the Lodge bill!
Let Congressmen not be de-
ceived into voting for Danforth's
bill. There is no necessity Tor its
passage, and it will not Te-elect

More sons of fDisasnEuished Fathers
Favored.

EahOEeQs
The President Tuesday sent to
the Senate another long list of
nominations for the volunteer SER
vice. Several civilians have been
given prominent places. among
them some sons of noted fathers.
In this class is William Joyce Sew.
ell, Of New Jersey, son Of the Sen
ator from that State. Mr.. Scwell
is now a member of his fathers
staff in the National Guard oi that
State. He is about twenty four
years OF age, and an enthusiastic
soldier. He has been identified
with all the athletic sports and is
an all-round athlete. 1t is said
by those who know him that he is
qualified by reason of his training
as a staff officer Of the National
Guard to fill the post OF assistant
adjutaut general, to which he has
been appointed. He ranks as a
captain.
Another of the appointments
that has attracted a great deal Of
attention is that OF George Hobart
OF New Jersey, to be assistant ad-
jutant general, with the rank Of
major, Mr.. Hobart is a nephew
OF the Vice President, and it was
stated at the Capitol that he was
appointed without the knowledge
of the Vice. President. Young
Hobart is a man of about twenty
three years Of age. He is a col
lege bred man and is understood
to have had no military training.
George Vendergiit, OF Cincin-
natl, appointed to be an additional
paymaster, was formerly a mem
Der oil the board of administration
Of that city. George B. Guild, OF
Tennessee, named for a simillr
Office, was twice Mayor Of Nash
vile and served as a member OF
the State Legislature. O'Brien
Moore, OF Texas, also nominated
to be an additional paymaster, is
well known to Washingtonians.
He was for many years the Wash
ingtOn correspondent of the St.
Louis RepH6Ifc and more recently
has been editing a paper at
Charleston. w. Va.
Stewart M. Brice, nominated to
be commissarV subsistence, with
the rank OF captain, is a son OF
former Senator Calvin S. Brice, and
Hugh II. Gordon, nominated to be
an engineer officer. with the rank
Of major, is a son Of tori er Senator
Gordon Of Georgia and now COM
mander-in-chief OF the Confederate
Veterans. Seth NJ. Millikin, of
Maine, appointed as a commissary
OF subsistence, with the rank OF
captain is son OF the late Repre-
sentative Millikin Of Maine.
The withdrawal Of J. M. Simeral,
Of Nebraska, who was nominated
some days ago to be a commissary
OF subsistence, develops an inter-
esting story. Mr.. Simeral is
veteran OF the Civil War and, is
seventy-three years of age. The
Office to which he was appointed
requires a man Of reasonable ac-
tivity and strength. 1t turns out
that Mr.. Simeral has on file before
the Pension Committee an appli-
cation for pension at the rate of
$50 a month on the grounds Of
total disability. II Mr.. Simeral is
disabled so as to give him good
grounds for a pension, the Presi-
dent does not think he is sufici-
emily active to properly fill the

Judge Woolson, Of the United
States Circuit Court, at Des
Moines, Iowa, has rendered an I'M
portanr decision which will be far
reaching in its effects on the Iowa
prohibition law. The case was that

pany, OF St. Louis, vs.. Van Vleet.

Of beer co trary to law. The ac-
ton was on note gwen for the

plea that the note was uncollecta-
bic beLause the sale was illegal
under the Iowa law. He also filed
counter claim for $50, 900 for
money paid plaintiff Tor beer in ad-
dition to the amount Of the note.
Judge Woolson ruled that the
note given by the defendant in
Iowa for beer purchased OF plain
tiff in Missouri vas valid and fur
ther that the money paid by de-
fendant for beer ordered by him of
plaintiff in Missouri could not be
recovered. A verdict was returned

should remember that if the Dem
ocrats had controlled Congress
there would have been no doubling
Of the beer tax. That the Repub
lican Senators Of the Finance Com
mittee granted the IL per cent
rebate, was merely to prevent the
Democrats from doing more.
The tax on consumption, as soon
as Democrats get into power, will
be abolished and tax on property
put in its place. Read Senator
Jones's speech on first page.
AS to us, we have remained

Gettysburg" which will be seen at
the Grand Opera House the coming
week,Is essentially a war drama in every.
thing the word implies. It deals with
the stormy days from 1861 to 1865 and
its characters, scenes and incidents are
taken from the rebellion. The play is
developed and worked out in Virginia
with the exception of the great battle
field scene which shows the night on the
memorable field from which the play
has derived its title. Gettysburg is
iull of exciting and highly wrought up
scenes and incidents and the author has
introduced in his work an entire novelty
in a series OF tableaux, one at the end of
each act, showing the PROCESS Of the re-
bellion from its inception until the final
surrender Of the Confederates. 1t is a
play well suited for the spirit Of the
people just at this time and should prove
a strong attraction for the entire week.

THE ATRICAL.

The coming week the Grand Opera
House will offer its patrons the latest
OF the successful war dramas, Frank c..
CamPbel's Gettysburg" This is a
story OF the rebellion days from 81 to
'65. Its scenes are laid in Virginia en-
tirelv with the exception of the second
scene in the third act which shows the
battlefield at Gettysburg at night alter
PicketJ famous but Intellectual charge at
the Bloody Angle. This scene alone
has given the play its name. as it is not
only realistic, put awe inspiring
IN its intensity. But while Get
tyshurg is essentially a war play, the
author has succeeded in weaving through
his historical facts a prettily told and
well conceived love story, and he has
seasoned the whole with bright and
amusing comedy $ enes and situations,
so that Gettysburg, while il appeals
to the patriotism in an audience, still,
as dramatic Offering, it is said to be OF
unusual merit and sh ould prove an
attactive play for those who seek their
entertainment at this popular place of
amusement

The Beer Tax and the Democrats.

The Beer Tax and the Democrats.
The speech OF Senator Jones. Of
Arkansas, part OF which we publish
on onr first page, gives an idea OF
the position of the Democratic
Senators (who last year killed the
"A cents increasel on the beer tax
this year. The Democrats have
not changed; they still oppose the
increase, because it is a tax on
consumption and net on property.
Being, however, in minority,
they have been unable to prevent
the Republicans from doubling the
beer tax. We hope the friends OF
personal liberty will read Senator
Jones's speech WI h care. He is
the chairman OF the Democratic
Nation i Campaign Committee,
and his ideas foreshadow the pol
icy Of the Democratic party in the
future.

OLD MEMORIES.

Captain John F. BullSley of Westport mentioning the anniversary of the burning of Lexington, which event oc- cured January 1S, 1S40, spoke of his experience in rescuing survivors of that terrible disaster on the day fol- lowing. He is in tip top physical con- dition, though fifty-eight years have past since his experience. Only one of the party of seven who went with him on that January IA is living, Mir. Aaron Jennings of Southport, and so far as known MT. David Crowley of the steamer, whom the party failed to espy floating on a cotton bale, and who finally got ashore on Long Island two days later, is the sole survivor, and is now living, in the possession of good health, at the age of eighty years, in Providence, R. I. The reason why a special interest attaches to the Lexing- ton here is Captain Bulkleys associa- tion with it, and, from the further fact that Eatons Neck light on Long Island, opposite which the fire which destroyed the steamer broke out. is in full view of Westport every evening" Westport correspondence.

So ends Captain Stodder's story of the fight between the Monitor and the Mer- rimae, Following that historic contest
 he continued to serve as acting master of the Monitor, and was one of the last
 to leave her before she foundered off Cape Hatteras on the Hateful night of December 20. 1862. At the close of the war he resigned from the navy and en- tered the revenue marine. in which as before stated. he now holds the rank of captain. Congress, often lavish in its gifts to less deserving men, has thus far neglected to grant a pension to this modest and kindly hero. The omission is one that should no longer stand un- corrected, for the nation can i'll afford to deny due reward to those who served it best when it most had need of their service. z

FoREsrERs HOME.
Danbury Wants the New State Insti- 4.aAi... I h.

Danbury Wants the New State Insti-
 tuition Located In That City.
 The Foresters of Danbury are about ready to ask the people of Danbury to lend their influence to secure the To- cation of the new Foresters' Home. which is now an assured fact, in Dan bury. The Danhury News says on the subject: The local Foresters are mak- ing active preparations to present to the home committee and to the grand court the claims and advantages of Danbury for the location of the home and at a meeting of Court Dan bury next Thursday night the mat will come up for definite action. They propose to send a committee before the grand court and present their argu- ments in favor of Danbury, showing its advantages and offering them whatever inducements they are able to. "A prominent Forester of this city told reporter that all the larger cities of Connecticut would offer Inducements to the grand lodge to locate the home, but at the same time Danbury stood a good chance to secure the home as any other city, if they could offer any req sonable Inducements"
 John T. Meskill of New Britain vice president of the special committee on the state Foresters' home project states that the advancement of Dan bury as the proper city for the location of the home is rather premature, for it may be couple of years yet before the matter will be so well in hand that the matter will be decided on. As Hartford, New Britain, Naugatuck Bridgeport and Meriden are all repre- scented on the special committee, the selection of a site for the home will en l tail considerable diplomacy. All these cities are willing to. have the home within their confines, and the one whicf makes the most advantageous offel will doubtless be favored.
 The fund for the home is to be raised l by capital assessment of twenty-five cents on each court in the state. The l first quarters collection is now being re | ceived.

A CLEVER DOG.
How he Solved the Problem of the Two
 Ducks.

Ducks. .
 A friend of mine living on New River, in an adjoining county was the fortu- nate owner of superb black setter, called Don" He was a splendid dog in the field. and by far the bestretriever I ever shot over. While we were hunt ing one day in the low grounds near the bank of the river, gang of wild ducks alighted in the stream within shooting distance from where we stood. My companion at once fired into them, killing one and wounding another so that it could not fly. The current of water was somewhat rapid, but about one hundred yards below small island had formed, Don, who, by the way, seemed to revel in water, was at once sent out into the stream to bring the game ashore, But when he attempted the task he was greatly perplexed. He could not mouth both of the ducks at one time, for the wounded bird would
 escape from him every time he attempt ed to take up the other one. He evidently saw it would not do to come out with only one and leave the other; for if he left the wounded one it would hide and escape before he could swim to the bank and then return for it, and if he brought the wounded duck first the current would soon carry the dead
 beyond recovery. He made several intellectual efforts, seemingly to solve +l,o Nl>l H. 4,s hsY.Ju Ga fore he succeeded in accomplishing the task, and by this time the water had hoated the ducks close to the island.
 This was Don's opportunity, and he grasped the situation at once. Seizing l the dead duck, he swan rapidly to the
 upper point of the island and laid it
 down on the sand, and then dashed into the water again in pursuit of the dis abled one. He soon overlook and captured it, and at once struck out for 1 the bank Of the stream, where we were standing. As soon as he reached us he went to his master, who received the game from him. Instantly, when this was done, he plunged into the stream ] again, and reaching the island, took up i the dead duck, which he had just before 1 deposited there for safekeeping, and, l boldly stemming the current he again reached us with his trophy
 He was pretty we'll tired out by this 1 time I don't think I ever saw any animal show as much animation Y. his face and act as did Don when he handed up this last duck. He seemed to know and appreciate the fact that he 1 had done the only sensible thing that 1 was open to him, under the circum-

Can any one name virtue that's not re- presented by the figure of a woman?
