that In neighboring States free trade has

law. Thft law was not of his making. It
was passed before he was thought of for
the Presidency. The papers of his party
advocated it, and as President of the Unit
ed States he had to swear he would execute
it. And: we believe he will, too.

to make good the loss sustained by tho issne
of false pension papers by Thomas Law

in the Pension Office during Mr. Slckel's
administration. Fries held a njnor posi

Lawrence, who was the head clerk, was
sent to the Eastern Penitentiary to serve a
term of four years. The verdict now taken
to make good the loss Is subject to a ques
tion, of law reserved for the consideration
of the Court.
A Demochatic organ In North Carolina
lias the following to say: "Cleveland is in
fatuated, bull-hadedr selC-willrd, ambiti
ous, non-partisan and nngratefnl. He Is
certainly not more than a third-class man
in experience and statesmanship, and we
have never met any one so bold as to charge
hi in with being a believer in the Almighty
tiod. His greatest capacity Is to drink
beer, continue Republicans In office, and
demoralize and disintegrate the party that
made him President. From our standpoint
his first duty as President was to his coun
try, his sreoud to his party, and his third
to his friends. But he has reversed the
order of things, and In our deliberate opin
ion, publicly expressed, he is the most dan
gerous enemy to tho Democratic party and
to Democratic principles this country has
ever produced." It would be well for our
esteemed Southern cotemporary -to consider
one or two things In regard to Grovcr
Cleveland's administration. Firstly, he
was nominated and elected on a civil service-
reform platform, and he Is in honor
bound to carry out the principles upon
which he was elected. Secondly, there are
Always a few dissatisfied, disgruntled, bull
headed Individuals, who, failing to gtt of
fice, are continually finding fault with an
administration that bids fair to rank first
and foremost for genuine honesty and econ
omy of my other In the past twenty
years. Does It strike our cotemporary? If
to ylease insirk It.
CHESTER ALAN ARTHTJB.
The death of cx-Prcsident Arthur did
not surprise the public, for It had long been
known that he was fatally 111. But no pre
paiatlon that knowledge could give will
lessen the people's sorrow at the event.
Chester A. Aithar was a distinguished
figure. Before hint three Vice-Presidents
had come to the Presidency. But neither j
Tjlter, nor Fillmore, nor Johnson had met
thc dllllculttes which a Vice-President en
eotmters In the presidential office so skill
fully and successfully as Mr. Arthur.
His sympathetic bearing throughout Gar
field's sickness, the modesty with which ho
took the reins of government into his un
cxpectlng hands, the ease with which be
overcame the Insidious opposition of Mr.
Blaine's friendship, at once won the popu
lar respect and confidence. He had never
held those relations to public lite, which
give assuiancc of the capacity to till a great
place in the state.
But the place was at once filled, and with
an ability equal to all of its demands, and
a dignity never before surpassed.
Few Presidents have held the scales fjf
justice with so firm and even a hand. Ills
generosity of mind and his wide experience,
with men made him Indulgent to opponents
and charitable to their opinions. The
clamor of faction ceased in that kindly
presence. We doubt whether any Presi
dent has been so successful as Mr. Arthur
wa in dealing wltlt his party opponents.
He was, however, not quite so fortunate in
combating the factions within his own par
ty. The very qualities which made him a
favorite with Democrats, who were drawn
to him by a certain natural affinity, excited
the Ire of the more eager and unscrupulous
of his followers The ranting Blaine, tear
ing passion to tatters, was far more attrac
tive than the fair-minded President to the
hot-headed Republicans of New England
and the West, who have never ceased to
regret that the war Is at an end and human
slavery abolished. But Chester A. Arthur
was a man of his time. He saw that the
past was dead, and under his rulej.be pres
ent began to live. He was the last of tlio
Uepubllean Presidents. It was appropriate,
therefore, that the one who closed the line
should throw around the last scene the Il
lumination of a generous hospitality. Who
could have done this difficult task so suc
cessfully as he? Wc speak the universal
feeling of the time when we say that many
of those who hailed tho coming of Cleve
land were filled with stiong regrets that
Arthur's term was at an end.
The chief lessons which his career will
teach are these: It shows that the republic
Is never at a loss for servants who aie fitted
for the highest duties; and it also shows
that great tasks elevate and ennoble and
strengthen the man upon whom they fall.
Broafllirim's flew York Letter.
Special to the Caiuion Advocate.
lrtmy last letter I announced that a public
reception had been tendered I be Hev. Henry
Ward Beecher on his return from Europe,
by the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of
Brooklyn, and that he had accepted. I was
"a little too previous;" ho has not accepted
and thereby hangs a tale, which must be
my apology for the mistake. When Mr.
Beecher returned from Europe everybody
wanted to see him and shake hands with
him, and tell htm how glad thev were to
sec 111 in safely back for he Is just as much
of a favorite with Fathei Malone, of the
Catholic church, as he Is with the Iiabbl
Gothell,of the Jewish synagogue Staunch
Republicans who followed James G. Blaine
to defeat, forget that he ever was a mug
wnmp;and Democrats who remember his
imperial service to Democracy in the last
Presidential election, are proud to do him
honor and ready to pardon the fact that he
ever was a Republican. Immediately after
his return the general desire of the entire
community to welcome him took definite
shape and a resolution was Introduced into
tho Common Council to give him a public
reception. It was promptly passed by the
Board of Aldermen, and as road II v signed
by the Mayor. After all this had been
done, and there was no doubt on the minds
of anyone, not even Mr. Beecher himself,
about his acceptance, the Mayor discovered
the important fact, that there was no money
available to nay the Jbtlls. He quibbled and
turned and twisted. The Aldermen declar
ed themselves ready to vote the requisite
amount, bnt the Mayor declared he could
find no warrant for the expenditure. Just
In the nick of time a public spirited citizen
declared himself ready to foot all the bills
but when it came to planking down the
cash the public spirited citizen was nowhere
to be found; and they had to make the re
turn of the Southern Sheriff, "Non cum
atlbus In swampo." It was a disgraceful
affair disgraceful to the Mayor, disgrace'
ful to the City of Biooklyn. What render
ed tho action more particularly offensive
was the fact that the empty Invitation was
forwarded to Mr, Beecher, who at the last
moment very properly declined it. 1 forgot
Solon- Shingle's advice, "Never, prophecy
onless vour sure," and I suffered accord
ingly.
For good old, solid, brass check the
American claimant to theTichborne estates,
of whom 1 spoko last week, can give Arthur
Orion, his English cousin, 200 points In a
game of 200 and heat him. He had a second
examination. He was confronted with all
sorts of relations who had known him all
his life. His daughter was present; a man
of his own age. who had known him from
boyhood up, met blm face to face; In the
witness box, but he never blanched or
winked, but stood to the Tichborne story
with a brnzenuess and persistence which
crowns him beyond all question as the monu
mental liar of tlio nineteenth century,
A remarkable case lias just been decided
heie, which illustrates more potently than
words the p rlls of city life, and thopernlci
ous and villainous detective system which
Is one of the crying eylls of our time. The
wife of a gentleman named Sears was!
anxious for a divorce and she employed j
detectives to watch her husband, and they 1
not being able to trap the unsuspecting
gentleman, took the vllllanous method of
getting some ono to personate hltn, and
Ibis dummy was tent with a notorious
couttezan to an tip-town hotel where tbey
registered as Mr. Scar and wife of Buffalo,
the register was produced as evidence of
the husband's crime. Just as villainy was
about to triumph the heart of tho courtezan
relented and she testified that the Mr. Sears
who was defendant In the case was not the
saiue man she saw la the St. Omar Hotel.
It Is to be hoped that all the parties con
cerned In this Infamous transaction may be
brought to justice, and the community may
well rejoice at tho miscarriage of a scheme
which neatly proved the ruin of an Innocent
man.
This week has been a red letter epoch In
art. By n rare combination of circum
stances not likely to occur again In a gene
ration, New York has been honored by the
presence of thrccof thegreatestnrtlstsln the
world Battholdl tho sculptor, Munkacsy
the painter, and Nelinan the sweet singer,
whoso, magic voice has kept Europe en
thralled for over thirty years. Sculpture,
painting, music each has Its noblest repre
sentative ih our midst. Of Bartholdl It Is
tinneccsnary to speak the Immortal work
with which his name Is forever linked will
be his monument; a monument which
down through the ages will be regarded by
awe struck millions, as onn of the wonders
of the world. The fame of the sweet singer
Is not so enduring, but while he holds his
sway, few positions on this earth are more
enviable than bis. Herr Nleman has ap
peared several times In German Opera, and
each time with Increasing honor. In addi
tion tolils artistic fame the social position
of Herr Nleroah, among the music loving
dcrmans, Is all that could he desired by
any man. He Is equally afavoritunt court,
In the churches, and at. the clubs. His
popularity here is unbounded, and as 1
predicted In iy letters'i'kst. year the Ger
man Opera lrtLVetame to .stay, and I now
predict that "the' coming! Beason (barring
accid.cnls)wl!l'be,one'of the most prosperous
and satisfactory that New York has ever
seen. v,
1 It' Is with fj;jisnre that we greet the
great Hungarian artist, Munkacsy. The
magnificent Works of tills wonderful artist,
are a boom and a revelation t'o 1 Humanity.
His Christ before Pilate, which New York
is soon to have the pleasure of seeing. Is
ene of the grandest paintings ever exhibited
in this or any other age. One of the nobl
est examples of his art Is now possessed by
the Lennox Art Gallery of this city blind
Milton dictating Paradise Lost to his
daughter. This sublime work was one of
the chief attractions of the splendid art
galle,ry of the Paris Exposition of 1878. It
stood immediately in front of the principal
entrance, and even then, when the Imperial
genius of the world had poured forth Its
treasures, the splendid picture by Munkacsy
was consldeicd one of the crowning glories.
As the interpreter of art In Its noblest and
most glorious forms, Munkacsy will receive
the nation's heartiest welcome. While on
the subject of art to those who remember
the art conditions of twenty years ago, the
prices paid for pictures to-day are simply
astonishing. The price paid for Jules
Breton's Communicants, $45,500, at the
sale of the Morgan collection, even in art
circles was considered a nine da,vs wonder,
but here we have a picture hanging up in a
jeweler's shop In John street, The Russian
Wedding, for which $72,000 was paid, and
Mr. Sliaus of the Shaus Art Gallery assured
me that Rcnibrantd's Gilder, which he has
In his possession, was worth $100,000, and
would not be sold for a penny less. These
prices paid for single works of art, and
many of them the works of living artists,
tell more forcibly than anything else could
of the colossal fortunes of these latter days.
Among the sensational wonders, Pattl
the divine must not be forgotten. When a
few months ago she showed us the full
front of her beautiful back and sailed away
to foreign parts, bearing to her romantic
castle in the Welsh highlands, several lacs
of our shining American rupees, she assur
ed us with a tear In her left eye that ire
were to be blessed with tho sight of her no
more. It was tough, but we expected to
get over it in time. Our individual treasury
was frightfully depleted, for every visit to
the divine Adelina cost me and Katiina
forty good hard American dollars, now?
Oh, easy enough. Katrlna Insisted on
haying orchestra chairs, and not one could
be got for love or money for less than ten
dollars, and the Israelite who sold them to
me, swore by Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,
dat it vos dirt sheep. It cost mo $2.60 for
kids, iS for a hack, $2.50 for Incidentals,
and the rest went for a supper at the Hoff
man, after the Opera was over. But it was
only once or twice in a life, and I footed
the bills vlth the soirowful satisfaction
that I should never set eyes on her again;
out now she bobs up once more, Mr. Merry-
man, and I fear that my bank account (If I
have any) Is to suffer further depletion.
Abby, who has her, says that we can now
bear her for the moderate sum of $5 a head,
he puts the price down so that the boot
blacks and the shop girls may have a chance
to bear first-class music. I shall wait till
the season is over, and perhaps I may catch
her at a dime museum; If so, I'll go.
A boy only fifteen years old has been sent
for six years to the Elmlra Reformatory,
under very peculiar circumstances. Somo
weeks ago there was a sxrlke ef a hundred
girls in a Brooklyn factory, kept by one
Perkins. It was not for high wages; It was
rot .for shorter hours, but purely on moral
grounds. The girls Insisted or. the discharge
of certain foremen, who they declared had
brutally assaulted and Insulted them, but
Mr. Perkins the proprietor, with a brutality
exceeding even that of Ids dissolute -em
ployees, refused point blank to investigate
the matter'; to the gills struck and walked
out, and since that time have been taken
under the protection of the Knights of
Labor, who haye paid them their wagts
right alone- Tho1 Knights then undertook
the prosecution of the brutal foremen, and
the trial culminated In the conviction of
the) youngest of all'the villains, .who goes
up with a six years sentence. It Is to be
hoped that all the rascals may be as swiftly
convicted and as surely punished. The
revelations on the trial were calculated to
rouse the greatest Indignation to think
that girls compelled to earn their living
should haye been subjected to the shame
ful treatment of the poor young creatures
who worked In this Perkins' factory. Such
things are a blot on our civilization, and to
vindicate the honor of these young women,
is a mission that does honor to the Knights
of Labor.
At a meeting which took place this week
Dr. Howard Crosby one of the most earnest
tcmpeiance men In the State declared
against prohibition. No bolderadvocate of
temperance Jives In New York, and has
opinions based on long experience, would
seem to be entitled to respect.

From our Special Correspondent. .
Washington, 1). C Nov. 22, '80.
Mn. Enrron: AHbotigh it had been gen
erally known for months that cx-Presldent
Arthur was in falling health, and there was
but little expectation that ho would ever
again enjoy health and strength, yet the
suddenness of his decease gives a shock of
sorrow and resret to tho whole country.
The news was received at tho White House
at an early hour on Thursday mornlng.and
the President at onco sent telegram to Mrs.
McElroy, the sister of the cx-Prcsident, ex
pressing his sympathy. A meeting of tho
Cabinet was at once called, and It was de4
elded that the President and the members
of his Cabinet should attend I be funeral.
It was ordered that the flags upon the Gov
ernment buildings should be placed at half
mast, and the buildings draped In mourn
ing during a period of thirty days, and as
an additional mark of respect, .work la the
various departments was ordered to be sus
pended upon tho day ot the funeral. The
feeling ot sorrow felt at the National Capi
tal Is profound and universal, During his
occupancy of tho Presidential office,; Mr.
Arthur won the respect and confidence Of
the people. He bore himself with dignity
in his oitlclal relations, and his private life
was marked by a refinement ahd charm of
manner that graced tho IKIilte House.
The all absorbing topic of conversation
during the past week, has been the, Jrfal of
Lieutenant Arnold of the Washington Po

circulated false statements to the effect
that Major Walker, the Chief of Police,
