FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22. 1895.

THK Ways and Means Committee of the House has reported the general approprirtion bill. It makes a reduction of about S3"0,000 from the bill passed two years ago.

THKKK is nothing in the Nicholson bill to prevent unlicensed drug stores or barrel shops selling intoxicating drinks in quantities of more than a quart, and allowing the same to be drank on the premises.

IT is said that petitions with 40,000 .signaturnes have been presented to the Legislature asking the passage of the Nicholson bill. We venture to say that :S9,000 of the 40,000 had not read the bill and knew nothing of its provisions.

THK bill providing for the location of the State Soldiers' Home at Lafayette and making an appropriation of 8,75,000 to carry into effect its provisions has passed both houses and now goes to the Governor for his approval or disapproval.

THK House has passed to engross ment the bill striking from insurance .policies the 80 per cent clause. The bill of Representative Moore prohibiting insurance companies from entering into a compact to maintain rates should be pushed through to enactment.

THE death of Frederick Douglass which occurred at his home atWashington Wednesday, removes from active life one of the most prominent figures of this age. The history of his long and useful life reads more like a romance than a reality. Although a black man and born a slave he had distinguished himself as an orator and as a great intellectual force long before the emancipation of his race from bondage was thought possible in his day and generation. Mr. Douglass is one of the. names that will live in American history.

A METROPOLITAN police bill has been introduced in the Senate and stands a fair show of becoming a law as it has been approved by the Republican joint caucus. It simply provides for the appointment of three metropolitan police commissioners for all cities of less than 30,000 inhabitants, the appointment to be made by the Mayor, and not more than two of whom shall be from the same political party. The police force shall be non-partisan and the policemen shall be selected through civil service regulations. This is a bill that the people will approve.

THE National House of Representatives has passed the bill equalizing Mexican pensions, by making them all 812 a month. Now if it would pass a bill raising the pensions of all Union soldiers from §2,land §4, and SG, and §8, and §10 to §12, it would show a spirit of fair play. It cannot be denied that the services of the Union soldier were at least 100 per cent, greater than that of the Mexican soldier and the results of his achievements of incalculable more value. Hut unfortunately the bulk of the one is in the South while the bulk of the other is in the North. It will not be so one-sided in the next Congress.

THE JOI'RXAI.'S attention has been called to a serious defect in the Nicholson bill in that it does not prohibit the transfer of a license after it has been granted. Section 10 of the bill is but slightly different from the present law. about the only difference being that an applicant must have been a resident for ninety days. The section does not cover the pernicious practice of transferring the license after it has been granted. This -is the weakness of the present law. It should be explicit and say in so many words that a transfer of any kind should operate as a revocation of the license. A law, especially a liquor law, is of little value if it is left open for construction. It should say what it means and mean what it savs.

THE Nicholson bill which has been under consideration by the House as a committee of the whole, has received its finishing touches, and will be placed on its passage Friday morning. There can be no doubt but that it will go through by a large majority. It will then go to the Senate where it is to be hoped that some of its crudities may be. eliminated before it is finally enacted into law. If it goes through both Houses in its present shape we fear that it will prove a disappointment even to its most earnest and sincere champions. In regard to its enactment it is not a question of political! tives here.

expediency, not whether it will hurt the Republican party or benefit the Democratic paty, but rather is it right, and will it accomplish all that it is intended to accomplish. Will it stand the test of the courts? These and similar questions which will grow out of its enactment are vital and should be carefully considered by the Senate.

ON the Mexican pension roll there are the names of 15,215 survivors and 7,282 widows, and something over 3,000 cases were pending at latest reports. This makes a total of 25,407, or several thousand more men than the United States had in Mexico at any one time during the war. These all now, under a bill passed the other day, receive $12 a month. The great majority of the Mexican soldiers were from the Southern States and many of them afterward served in the armies of the Confederacy. Not a voice was raised against the bill increasing the pensions of Mexican soldiers as well as the soldiers of all Indian wars as far back as 1818 to §12, thus adding §1,300.032 to the yearly cost of the pension rolls, not even from .Tones, of Virginia, but when a bill came up to pension a Union army nurse, the gentleman from Virginia, sail, objected. Mr. Van Voorhis, of New York, was then justified in remarking with some heat that "any man who would raise his hand against a woman was a wretched creature whom it would be base flattery to call a coward."

THE Congressional apportionment bill, submitted by the legislative committee yesterday, is just about as poorly arranged as a bill of that kind could be. Cranor's bill is far superior, and the whole bill should be stricken out except the enacting clause, and Senator Cranor's bill substituted.—Munclc Times.

Cranor's bill is not much better than the bill reported. We move to amend the Times' motion by striking" out the whole bill after the enacting clause and substituting one that will be fair, just such as was promised by the Republicans when they were battling for supremacy.

We are not able to say how it will terminate, but we will take chances with the latter, and we think the adherents of the old flintlock system will be in the minority.

DEATH'S STROKE.

Ifc Fells the Apostle of Liberty, Frederick Douglass.

HE IS SUDDENLY STRICKEN DOWN.

The End Comes While He Is Conversing with 11)8 Wife, and Apparently In the Best of Health —His Career.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—Frederick Douglass dropped dead in the hallway of his residence on Anacostia Heights Wednesday evening at 7 o'clook. He had been in the highest spirits and apparently in the best of health despite his 78 years, when death overtook him. Wednesday morning he was driven to Washington accompanied by his wife. She left him at the congressional library and he continued to Metzerott hall, where lie attended the sessions of the woman's council in the forenoon and the afternoon, returning to Cedar Hill, the name of his residence, between 5 and (j o'clock.

A Suildi ii ull.

After dining he had a chat in the hallway with his wife about the doings of the council. He grew very enthusiastic in his explanation of one of the events of the day, when he fell upon his knees with hands clasped. Mrs. Douglass, thinking this was part of his description, was not alarmed, but as she looked he sank lower and lower and finally lay stretched upon the floor, breathing his last. Realizing he was ill, she raised his head, and then understood that he was dying. She was alone in the house and rushed to the front door with cries for help. Some men who were near by quickly responded and attempted to restore the dying man. One of them called Dr. .1. Stewart Harrison, and while he was injecting a restorative into the patient's arm, Mr. Douglass passed away, seemingly without pain.

Apparently In Good Health.

Mrs. Douglass said that her husband had apparently been in the best of health lately and had shown unusual vigor for one of his years. No arrangement, she said, will be made for his funeral until his children can be consulted.

I.IFK OF FREDERICK UOUGL 88.

Born in Slavery In 1817, 1I« Rocame the Leader of His Race. Frederlok Douglass was born la a distriot known as Tuckahoe, oa the east shore of Maryland, in February, 1817. His father was a white man and his mother a negro slave. As was the custom In those days for slaves to do, he took the name of his master. Col. L.loyd, but changed it, several years later for that of Douglass. The first ten years of his life were spent on the plantation of bis master, where he witnessed the indignities heaped upon the negro race under slave rule, and learned to hate slavery with a bitterness that made hltn its most determined foe. When he was about 10 years old he was sent to live with a relative of his master's in Baltimore and there enjoyed many privileges and advantages which few negroes received In those days and learned to read and write. He remained In Baltimore until he was 16. when he was sent to St. Michaels, a small village 011 the east coast of Maryland. Here he suffered severely from the cruelty of his master.

He was soon sent back to Baltimore, and in 183b he succeeded in escaping from slavery and making his way to New York. He did not feel safe there, however, and soon he went to New Bedford, Muss., where he lived for three years. He married and made his living by wor'rlr.g around tlio wharves. During this time he had become acquainted with William Lloyd Garrison and other prominent abolitionists and his abilities attracted their attention. In #841 he made a speech before the antislavery convention in Nantucket that won for him a high place among the anti-slavery agitators and he was ofiered the position of lecturer by the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery society. During the next four years hespokeln nearly every part of New England, and his eloquence and powerful pleading for the rights of his race stirred thousands of hearts to indignation against slave.y. In 1845 he went to Great Britain and spent two years lecturing there. In 184G the English friends of the ex-slave made up a purse of £750 to purchase his freedom in due form of law. About this time he published his llrst book entitled "Narrative of My Experience in Shivery." In 1847 he returned and started his paper, called the North Star, at Rochester, N. Y. In ls55 he published "My Bondage and My Freedom."

On account of some letters found In the possession of John Brown when captured after his raid on Harper's Ferry in 1850, a requisition was issued by Gov. Wise, of Virginia, for the arrest of Douglass. Hearing of it. Douglass went to England, where he stayed for nearly a year. At the outbreak of the war he returned and resumed the puulieation of his paper. He strongly advocated the using of colored troops during the war and helped secure many volunteers for colored regiments wheu that policy was adopted.

Held M»iy Positions.

At the close of the war he dropped the pub•ication of his piper and devoted his attention to the lecture plaitorm. in 1870 he started the New National Era in Washington. During the last twenty years Air. Douglass had been a prominent ligure 111 republican politics. He was appointed assistant secretary to the commission to S.uito Domingo in 1871 and later was made a member of the territorial council of ti.e District of Columbia. He was elected as one of tiiu presidential electors from the state of New York in 1872. Under the administration of President Hayes he was appointed United Stal.'.s marshal for the District of Columbia, lie remained in this position until 1881, when' President Garlield appointed him recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia, lie held this position until 188ti, when he was removed by President Cleveland. The autumn of that year he made another trip to England, where he delivered a series of lectures to crowded houses. President Harrison appointed him minister to Ilayti. The last few years of his life he spent, at his home at Uniontown. in the District of Columbia.

His Ijiist Murriajje.

Of recent years lie has always been prominent 111 all movements having in view the social and political advancement of women, l-'red Douglass was married twice, his second wife being Miss Pitts, a white woman from New York stale, who was a clerk in the recorder's office while he held that position. This for a time lost him somo caste among the people of his own race, but his personal standing and overpowering intellectuality quickly dissipated the sentiment that some sought to originate to his discredit. He was one of the most distinguished-looking men that appeared on the thoroughfares of the capital. He was kindly disposed to all, courteous and of gentle bearing, and by all alike, white and black, or of whatever creed, religion or race, the news of his death will be mot with only genuine regret.]
