FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 1893.
President-elect Cleveland attended
the funeral of ex-President Hayis last
Friday at Freemont, Ohio. They
were well acquainted and were warm
friends.
Justice L. Q. C. Lamar, one of the
Judges of the Supreme Court of he
United States, died at Macon, Georgia
on Monday. He held many promi
nent ooaitions, among them being
United States Senator, Secretary of
the Interior in President Cleveland's
cabinet, and was appointed to the
Supreme bench by Cleveland.
The name of Hon. William F. Har
rity, Secretary of the 'Commonwealth,
has Veceived particular mention by
the press of the country in connection
with the new Cabinet. Mr. Harrity
possesses abundant qualifications for
such an office. He is skilled in public
affairs, is a man of standing at the bar,
is at the head of an important financial
institution, is of umblemished integri
ty, has youth, health and energy, is
the leader of his party in the State,
rendered conspicuous and efficient ser
vice as chairman of the national com
mittee during the Presidential cam
paign, and is warmly admired by Mr.
Cleveland, whose nomination at Chi
cago was brought about, to large ex
tent, through the instrumentality of
Mr. Harrity. If Mr. Harrity would
consent to the personal sacrifices whi:h
would be necessitated by the sever
ance of his present business relations,
it is quite probable that he would be
found in the next Cabinet. Ledger.
To The Democrats of Columbia County.
I have been repeatedly asked how
to proceed in nominating a township
ticket under the new ballot law and
have decided to ask the Democratic
papers to print the tollowing which is
as near right as I understand it.
1 st. To nominate a straight Demo
cratic ticket (and this is the one I be
lieve in) I would suggest that you call
your caucus not later than the 4th day
of February which will give ample
time for the filin? of certificates. Af
ter you have organized by the election
of President and Secretary proceed
with your nominations, and that done
have ihem certified to by both your
president and secretary and then tile
them with your township auditors at
least ten days before the day of elec
tion. If you prefer to have a mixed
ticket with Democrats and Republi
cans and Prohibitionists, &c, &c, and
want 10 call it a citizens ticket, town
ship ticket, borough ticket, or what
ever, then it will have to be done by
nomination papers. This is done by
getting the signature of at least 3 per
cent of the number of voters voting
for such office at last election. In
each township it would require the fol
lowing number with residence and oc
cupation :

The signatures and qualification of
these signers must be vouched for by
at least five of the signers and then
filed with the township auditors at
least ten days before the day of elec
tion. I probably hae the number
of signers a little too high in some cases
but it will not be as much trouble for
you to get an extra name or two as it
will be for me to look it up and get
the exact number.
I have been asked whether a man
that had voted the Republican or
Prohibition ticket at the last preced
ing election should bo allowed to help
in a straight Democratic caucus. I
should say most certainly let them all
come in, if they will honestly and in
good faith support the ticket. Again
I have been asked whose place it is to
call a caucus, whether it is the com
mitteeman's place to call it ? I do
not think it necessarily is his place
any more than any other good Demo
crat, but if nobody else does it, he
certainly should.

Washington, Jan. 83, 1893.
"The Carlisle tariff bill." How docs
that strike you as a popular title for
the democratic tariff bill which is to
be passed by the Fifty-third Congress ?
Unless a number of gentlemen who 1
are in positions to know are wrong in 1
their calculations Senator Carlisle, '
whose resignation as Senator will take
effect the fourth of next month, is thj
man who will frame that bill. The
great success of the Walker tariff bill,
framed by President Polk's Secretary
of the Treasury, was, it is said, what
induced Mr. Cleveland to follow the
same plan and entrust the framing
a tariff bill which is to be strictly
accord with democratic ideas, to his ;
Secretary of the Treasury. It is not
to be understood or inferred that this j
move is intended to deprive the Ways ;
and Means Committee of the next
House of any of its rights. The idea
is merely to put into the hands of that
committee a complete tariff bill, leav.
ing its membeis to decide whether it j
shall be accepted as prepared or to be
amended before being reported to the
House. Whatever one's opinion of
this method of preparing the tariff bill
may be, it cannot be denied that John
G. Carlisle is by experience and abili
ty specially well qualified to frame the
democratic bill. He has for many
years been a leading tariff reformer,
and his name attached to the bill j
would of itself make it popular with 1
the rank and file of the . democratic
party.
Much curiosity is felt concerning
the answer that Secretary Foster will
make to Representative Scott's resolu
tion, which his been adopted by the
House, calling for information as to
the delay in the erection of Public
buildings for which the money has
been appropriated by Congress. Mr.
Scott says he is satisfied that the delay
has been caused by the lack of money
in the Treasury, and the facts are all
apparently with him ; but it is hardly j
probable that the wily Secretary of the
treasury will admit that.
Representative Bynum's resolution,
which has been adopted by the House,
calling on the Civil Service Commis
sion to furnish a list of all the men re
instated in the classified service of the
Government, mdet rule ' 10, since
March 4, 1889, together with the date
of their dismissal or resignation from
the service, the States they were from
and the States charged with their ap
pointment, the date of theif reinstate-;
ment, and the departments in which
they were reinstated. Rule 10, re
ferred to in this resolution was gotten
up by republicans ostensibly to allow
the reinstatement within one year of
their dismissal or resignation of ex
soldiers, but if the information called
for by the resolution be truthfully giv
en it will be seen that it has been ter
ribly stretched, both as to time and
persons. It would be much better to
absolutely suspend the Civil Service
law so far as it relates to appoint
ments and removals, for the first year
of every administration, as proposed
by Representative DeArmond's bill,
now in the hands of a House commit
tee, than to evade it. as ha-- been done
under this administration : besides, it
would be much more manly and hon
otable.
The favorable report to the House
on the bill repealing all federal elec
tion hws contains some very strong lan
guage, but, as the report.truthfully says,
"these laws are a continued menace
to the peace and welfare of the coun
try", and nothing said against them
can be too strong. The House will
pass, this bill, not with any expectation
that it can get through the Senate at
this session, but to emphasize the po
sition of the democratic party against
these laws.
The republicans of the Senate have
apparently adopted aiort of go-as you
please pace. Two attempts have been
made within the last week by means
of caucuses, to get them together, but
they were both failures. The most of
them appear to wish to avoid doing
anything, aside from some special bill
in which they are interested, and to be
unable to interest a sufficient number
of their colleagues in any one measure
to gel it endorsed by a caucus. Hav
ing given up the silver question entire
ly they will this week caucus on the
admission of new States. When the
results of the last election are consid
ered the republicans are excusable for
being slightly demoralized
Senator Wolcott has been having
some fun at the expense of the Post
master General. He doesn't like the
Columbus stamps, anil Saturday he
made a humorous speech in favor of
his joint resolution directing the Post
master General to stop the sale of
them, and he raised a laugh by saying
that he had a letter from a physician
who said that if the sale of these stamps
was stopped the stock on hand might
be utilized as chest protectors. He
intimated in relation to Mr Wanamak
er's statement that $1,500,000 profit
would be realized from the sale of
these stamps to collectors that this
Government was to big too go into the
chromo business, a business that might
do for some little American State,
that was a few thousand dollars "shy".
Things arc now going with a rush at

CHICAOOAN tells the story of
AIDINO THE CRIPPLED ASSASSIN TO
ESCAPE.
Lieutenant A. R. Bainbride, of
Chicago, one of the three Confederate
soldiers who.in a measure, assisted
John Wilkes Booth to escape, after he
had assassinated Abraham Lincoln,
was in St. Louis, one night last week
and entertained a party of guests, by
relating his experience with the noted
assassin.
"I had heard that Mr. Lincoln had
been assassinated," said Lieutenant
of , Bainbridge "but had no idea of meet
in I ing with his slaver in the manner I
did. One afternoon, Captain Ruggles
Captain Jett and myself were standing
on the bank of the Rappahannock
River, on the King George County Va.,
side, when two men drove up in a
bujey. One of them alichied, and
advancing towards us, asked me if we
could cet them across, as they were
escaped prisoners from Fort McHenry
Captain Jett did not believe his story,
and after questioning the stranger
closely, he finally admitted that his
name was Harold, and that the man
in the buggy was none other than
Booth.
"Hearing the explanation of his
friend and partner in crime, Booth
jumped out of the buccy the best he
could with a broken leg and after
hobbling to us on one crutch exclaim-
ed:
" Gentlemen,
have heard what
Harold told you. My name is Boo;h
and I am worth $100,000 to any of
you. Is there any of you who has
the courage to win the prize.' He
had a pistol in each hand and a de
termined look on his face. We de
cided to assist them to a certain ex
tent and crossed them to Port Royal,
where we suceeded in securing lodging
for the fugitives on a farm owned by a
man named Garrett, on the road to
Bowling Green.
"We left Booth in a hammock out
in the front yard with Harold to care
for him, and retraced our steps, when
an old negro by the name of Henry
Lucas met us and informed me that a
squad of soldiers was crossiug the
river in pursuit of the fugitives we
had just ferried over. We hurried
back and passed the farm house where
Booth was still reclining in a h?m
mock. I called and informed hurt
that a sq iad of soldiers was coming
up the road, and that . he
had better

ed to us:
"Ride boys. It will never do for
the blue-coats to find you with me.
I will take care of myself.'
We found refuge at a neighboring
farm house, where we remained until
the next morning. The capture and
death of Booth followed."
The Woman Lobbyist in Washington.
There are some fictions concerning
the Capitol at Washington. Among
them is one that the woman lobbyist
is a power, and that her wiles and arts
are successfully employed on the most
eminent statesmen in Congress.
It is true that there are women
lobbyists, and tlwt some of them years
ago were eminently successful. 1 here
is nothing, however, so false as the
idea that the woman lobbyist is a fre
quent spectacle, or that she has now
any influence whatever on Congress
men or on legislation. The average
Congressman is a respectable and self
respecting man. It must be borne in
mind that most members of the House
of Representatives and of the Senate
come from rural communities, and, as
a rule, no nun can be chosen from a
rural community to a respectable pub
lic position who does not, at least ap
parently, walk in the paths of propri
ety. It may be that his reputation is
false, but he is intent on preserving it,
at r.ll events, and consequently "it
would not do," in the language of those
who understand the full value of pro
priety, for a man who counts on con
tinuing to receive the favors of a rural
constituency to be seen very often in
conversation with a professional wo
man lobbyist. Nor would the subject
on which she desired to converse with
him be likely to interest him if he were
a man of position and character. No
one who is in the habit of doing busi
ness with the national legislature, or
whose affairs are of sufficient impor.
tance to demand caution and intelli
gence in their transaction, would m
ploy a woman lobbyist. The first
friend he met, if he had no local at
torney, would warn him off. Some
times a poor, broken-down, wronged,
and inexperienced claimant, with just
ice on his side, and with a stoty of
wrongs received from the red-tape
system prevalent in Washington, will
fall into the hands of the fair harpie,
who will rob him of his spare cash,
and leave him stranded and disappoint
ed 5 for if anything beyond the natural
indifference of Congressmen is need
ed to defeat a just claim, it is the
effort of a woman lobbyist.. L.

NIAGARA'S ICY COAT.
EVF.RVTHINO WITHIN RF.ACH OF THE
DRIVINU SPRAY ENVELOPED IN A
GLISTENING COVERING.
Not within a generation has the
present ice scenery at Niagara Falls
been surpassed in extent, variety, and
beauty. The trees in Prospect Park
and on Goat Island, Luna Island, and
all the surrounding shores, and every
shrub and tig arc covered with ice
which glistens in the sunshine till the
eye is dazzled and turns away to the
shade. This ice coating is not a thin
layer or varnish, but is sometimes sev
eral inches thick. Twigs no bigger
than a pencil become as large around
as a man's arm.
The ice is formed by the spray
which is swept hither and thither by
the shifting winds. Wherever it touch
es it freezes, and then the ice coating
of every object near the Falls is con
stantly increasing in thickness whilj
the cold weather continues.
The great ice bridge in the gorge
has formed across the river just below
the American Falls. It extends far
down the river and under the upper
suspension bridge in a great j'gged,
snow-covered ice field. It even ex
tends up the river in several places al
most to the very foot of the Falls
themselves. A well beaten path ex
tends across the bridge, and thousands
cross atid recross it every day. So
firm is it now, and it is estimated to
be fifty to seventy-five feet thick, that
in the center of the river sevetal rude
shanties or booths have been erected
by the enterprising Niagararians, where
one can indulge in a hot Scotch, a cold
beer, or if his taste inclines that way,
in Kentucky bourbon.
The scene from the middle of the
liver is wild, weird, and Arctic in the
extreme, the great; cataract falling
over the cliffs in front and above it
ith ceaseless roar : the clouds of
spray and mist rolling up; half veiling
the falling water at times, and at times
again caught by a vagrant gust of wind
and swept down the cnasmaivi over the
bridge, deluging the onlooker, leaving
him wet and icy bu spe 1 bound by
the scene.
Ice mounds have formed in several
places along the foot of the Falls. One
enormous one near the center of the
American Falls has grown until it is
fully one hundreed feet high. If the
cold continues it is not unlikely to
reach quite to the top of the cliff.
The Country Doctor.
IT REQUIRES A BIG FEE TO GET
OUT OF BED NIGHTS.
HIM
C. B. Ya.sou lu the Detroit Free Press,
In the summer of 1875 I was s0
journing with a friend for a few weeks
in a little fishing village on the coast
of Maine. One night my friend was
seized with a sudden and painful ill
ness which necessitated my summon
ing the only doctor in the village, who
lived on a farm a mile distant from
our hotel and who combined agricul
ture with the practice of medicine. I
aroused the bleeping physician with
some difficulty and stated my errand,
but despite my importunities he flatly
refused to leave hi home, as it was
against an inflexible rule to leave his
home at night, no matter how urgent
the call. However, he generously
consented to compound a mixture,
with which I hastened back to tho
hotel, where I found my friend racked
with pain and pleading for medical
attendance. I again traversed the
road to the doctor's house and thun
dered at the door, determined to force
or bribe the pill compounder from his
domicile. When the identity of the
intruder was discovered the usually
placid physician became irate and
somewhat abusive. In vain I urged
the necessity of the visit and pleaded
the cause of humanity. Finally I of
fered any fee, in or out of reason, he
might demand. This gradually soft
ened him, and looking at me critically
to see the full effect of his words, he
said : "Young man, if I go up there
with you to-night it will cost you a
penny." Apprehensive of a mam
moth fee, beyond the resources of a
comparatively slender purse, I quer
ried somewhat timidly: "What
would you charge ?" to which, with
the same quizzical look fixed on my
face, the answer slowly came s "If I
go up there to night it will cost you
one dollar and a half."
Joyously consenting to the condi
tion, while concealing my amusement,
I hastened home, and by a recital of
the story put the sufferer in such good
humor that the doctor, on his arrival,
found the patient so far on the road
to recovery that two visits completed
the restoration. Subsequently I learn
ed that the fees charged the villagers
during the doctor's exclusive practice
among them of four decades, had
been fifty cents for calls made after
nightfall' and but half that sum fur
visits in the daytime.
President Harrison has taken good
care of his private secretary, Mr. Elijah
Halford, by appointing him to pay
master vacancy in the army, a life
position which carries with it the pay
and et ceteras of a major of cavalry.
The office by rights should go to some
deserving officer of the army, and pro
motion is very slow just now; but in
this, as in a good many other things,
the President shows he regards the
Office as in the nature of a nrivate
snap to be used in the payment of
personal obligations. nttnburg loi
