PAST HISTORY RECALLED.

The very narrow margin BY which
| the Republicans hope to control tne
next House of Representatives gives
pertinency at this time to bit o.
! political history. as the Philadelphia
Record observes. When that party
carried the Presidential election OF
1888, securing a majority of the cleo
| toral vote, but only minority Of the
popular vote, it also secured posses
sion of Congress, which had been
Democratic for several years. Its
margin Of safety was very shght
however, the Republicans having lbe
Representative to 159 on the De
mocratic side, and the late Thomas
B. Reed, who was chosen speaker
and the other G. 0. ?. managers
decided that this was not sufficient
for working purposes. The daring
scheme was then devised of unseatlng
enough Democratic members to give
the Republicans the majority they
desired. In order TO carry out this
abominable plot the adoption Of rules
of procedure was postponed for g
time. number of trunped-up con-
tests were started. and under the iron
rule of Gar Reed tho Republicans
threw from their seats Democrats
legally elected by the people. In vain
did the Democrats fume and rage.
Without the protection Of the custo-
mary rules of the House they could
do nothing, and the Republicans rede
over them roughshod. After the con-
summation of this political villainy
the Republicans turned to tariff tink-
ering and passed the abomination
known as the Mckinley bill.
Never did a crime bring swifter
punishment. The Mckinley tariF
became a law in the summer Of 1890
III November Of that year q new Con,
gress was chosen. Indignant at the
liighhanded- proceedings at Washing,
ton and furious over the increased
taxes imposed upon them by the new
tariff, the American people rose iin
ala the ]: majesty Sof their WRATH
and kicked the Republicans from, Of
fee. They then jumped upon the
faithless Legislators, threw them into

II SHOLD BE ADOPTED.

The action taken by the board OF
police commissioners last evening re-
questine the city council to pass a
'curfew law, is a step in the right
direction. The editor OF the Gazette
speaks from experience gained while
residing in city where such law
was in force. An ordinance OF that
characre. cannot possibly do harm to
any ana it might be the means of do
ing mnch good to a large number of
youngsters BY Keeping them off the
streets at night when they should be
a. home.
1t was stated at the meeting Of
the police commissioners last evening
that the city is more or less infested
by gang Of young boys who Keep
watch OF the movements of the police
officers, arc believed to be engaged in
piifering wherever opportunity offers;
and possibly; acting in the capacity Of
scouts for older depredators. Were
law enfcEcsd which would send
them home at a proper hour, say not
later tran nine o'clock, it might save
them from unpleasant experiences
and Other people much annoyance.
A gentleman was in the city a
short time ago who had travelled
around the world three times and
stared That in ali. the cities visited
by him, he had never seen children
permitted on the streets SO late at
night as he had in Alexandria. Sim
liar observations have been NADER by
othsrs: ard it would seem the part
Of wisdom to take action regarding
the matter without further delay.

HoyEY AND UNCLE REMUS.

A valued reader Of the Gazette
residing in Alexandria contributes
the following interesting sketch:
The writer of the immortal "Stein
Song Richard Hovey--was one
of brilliant trio who we're for a
time we'll nigh inseparable.
In his love for the things Of nature
he could meet the others. Carman
and Roberts, on equal ground, but
in his simplicity and child-like faith
in "all things great and SMALL he
more closely resembled Whitcomb
Riley.
During the winter Of '97, he was
called to Washington to his fathers
death-hed, and on the day after the
funeral, and old colored man, who:
in his prime had been a servant III
the family, called to inquire after
ode ole Gcn'ral,' Hovey said, ''Why.
Uncle Renus, didn't you know faith
err is dead ?" The old man looked
grieved beyond expression, and re-
piled, :Daid, an ye didn't tole me-"
AS he stood with bowed head, the
picture of woe. Hovey said, Uncle
Remus. would you like ME to take
you to fathers grave?"
The old man frightened Instantly
and said. "Will We take me, Massa
Dic! % Il will surely said Hoyey.
"Come tomorrow morning and We
will 60 together.
Next morning Uncle Remus was
on hand at the proper time and off
they started - Hovey, friend and
translator Of Maeterlinck, coprted by
savants Of two continents, handsome
erect and full of vigor, suiting his
step to the slow and tottering gait
Of the feeble old man.
When they reached arlington and
Uncle Relnus saw the beautiful rest
ing place of de ole Gen'ral," he was
i'll a measure comforted for the over
sight of some one in neglecting to no
tify him Of General Hoyey's death.
When the poet left him at his own
door he said, "Massa Dick. sholy is
bliged 10 ye fer shown ne whar dc
ole Central sleeps. I'll res content
now"
Hovey returned home frightened
with the JOY Of giving comfort TO the
Odd mans heart, and who knows but
soHce Of il crept into and enriched the
work ne shortly, afte1ward gave TO
the world OF letters?

the creek and otherwise inflicted all
nossible indignities upon them. The
Republican strength, which stood at
1e6 At the opening of the Fifty-flrst
Congress, was reduced to SO in the
next e:s: House, being cut almost exactly
in half. The Democratic representa-
ton at the same time rose to zoo,
and that party also secured controi
of the Senate. Not since its organl-
cation did the G. o. P. cut such a
contemplate and unimportant figure
as in the Fifty-second Congress. In
1892 Grover Cleveland was elected
President. =
p These facts are cited as warning
to our Republican friends against
placing any reliance upon a slender
majority in the next House. 1t will
avail them nothing. The crimes Of
1890 cannot be repeated in 1917. Be
sides, the Democrats control the
Senate, and then there is Woodrow
Wilson in the White House. There
will be no retrogression. Instead we
expect to see both parties seeking
to make new record for patriotic
and useful legislation, with 1920 ever
in mind.

Life is too short to remember the
things that would prevent people
from doing their best in life's strug-

"Forgetting the things that are be-

Usually old men live largely in
the past, but this man lived in the

Many of us fail because we do not

MARyELs OF THE AGE.

wireless service between the pni ut
ed States and Japan, was estaphsheu
Nv the Marconi Wireless Company
Yesterday afternoon. The first mes
sape was a formal greeting from
President Wilson to the Emperor OF
Japan. extending fluctuations on the Inc
new means of communication between
the two countries. A reply from the
en,peror was received at San Fran
cisco and transmitted to the Presl'
dent at Washington by telegraph.
The above brings to mind the con
cep1tion {. and perfection of ocean tele-
sraphy. ffty-eight years ago Inc
belief that messages could be sent
under the Atlantic Ocean was 10: Tor
years regarded by many as dream
and S. f. B. Morse, Cyrus W.
Field and others were regarded as
harmless Missionaries.
Field was interested in the con-
struction of a telegraph line from
New York to Newfoundland. where
messages were to be placed upon fast
steamers and sent to Ireland, this
being the shortest route across the
Atlantic. While revolving globe
he was studying, he asked himself,
the question, Instead Of placing the
messages upon a steamer, why NOT
send them. across the ocean on a
wire He found comparatively few
who manifested faith in such a
scheme. He, however. believed it to
be practicable and eventually formed
company. In process of time the
cable was completed and placed upon
the British man-of-war, Agamemnon
and the United States frigate Mag
ara, these vessels having met III
mid-occan. The Agamemnon started
toward Ireland, and the Niagara TO-
ward Newfoundland. Upon the ar
! rival Of the latter, to the JOY Of the
officers and crew, they found they
could talk to Ireland.
People living at the time will re-
call the exultation which went up
all over the world at this great feat.
| Field and his associates were the
lions Of the day. President Buch-
| anan and Queen Victoria exchanged
meetings and the dispatches were
.ublished everywhere il the civilized
world. The cable, however, WORKED worked
/ sui two weeks, and the war between
/ the states having later heen preclpl-
| tated. the world was without an ocean
cable until 1865, when the historic
| Great Eastern laid a new one. From
| that time ocean telegraphy has been
| in operation almost daily. Several
| other cables have since been laid.
While the above was justly regard
ed as the greatest marvel of the age,
we live at time when people are
talking across the Pacific Ocean at
point 1880 miles wide. and with
out wires.

STATE PROBES STORY
THAT WAYNE FARMER
SOLD TAINTED MEAT

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 21.-The state
board of health has begun an investi-
cation of report originating in
Wayne county to the effect that a
farmer has violated the pure food law
through failing to destroy three hogs
which were killed after they were re-
ported being sick. The report said
the farmer had taken the hogs to a
butchers and they were killed and that
the butchers protested they should be
used for only fertilizer but that the
farmer returned them to his home
The board believes there was too much
meat in the three hogs for his family
and that he might have disposed of the
meat to the trade. The report came
from the vicinity of Dublin. If it is
found to be true the farmer will be
prosecuted at once.
