MINISTER LOWELL
(Page 1)
Congressman Robinson Hears that He Wears Knee-Breeches, in Violation of Law.
A resolution has been introduced into the House by Mr. Robinson,
of New York, calling upon the Secretary of State for information regarding
the dress of American representatives in foreign countries as they appear
on public occasions. It has exclusive reference to Minister Lowell, who
is reported to wear knee-breeches on state and other occasions. When
Sunset Cox returned from Europe he reported that Mr. Lowell was arrayed
in knee-breeches and buckle shoes when he called upon him, and that and
that our Minister made a vain but ineffectual attempt to hide his calves
under a table.
"What is the object of your resolution?" was asked of Mr. Robinson.
"It is to ascertain if any of our representatives abroad are really
acting like dudes," he replied. "I am told that in some countries our ministers
and consuls dress like fops, that they don fancy coats and big brass sabers
and imagine themselves kings and princes."
"Have you any instances?"
"Yes sir. I am told recently our Minister Lowell could not be
seen because he was dressing for a reception. It is said that our
representative to Persia had to take off his boots not long since and approach
the Pasha in his bare feet. Such proceedings are beneath the dignity
of an American citizen. He ought to have applied his boot to the
Pasha."
Mr. Robinson said the United States would not tolerate any "monkey
business," as he put it, on the part of representatives abroad; that there
was a statute enacted in 1888 for the express purpose of requiring American
Ambassadors to maintain the recognized customs and etiquette of their own
country, and if Mr. Lowell had been guilty of a violation of this law he
should be recalled.
It is a matter of notice that Mr. Lowell is a subject of unfavorable
comment in all quarters of Washington at this time. A leading Republican
Senator said the other day that the aping tendencies of Mr. Lowell, which
at first produced only ridicule, are likely to be so seriously regarded
in the end as to necessitate his recall.
MINISTER LOWELL'S RECTORSHIP.
Washington Telegram To Chicago Herald
Your correspondent has definitely ascertained that Minister Lowell
received a polite, but peremptory notification from the Department of
State that his acceptance has Rectorship of St. Andrews was regarded as
an act inconsistent with his obligations as the representative of the American
Government at a foreign court. The letter to Mr. Lowell called his
attention to the prohibition put upon American ambassadors as to their
acceptance of titles, honor, offices, etc., from foreign potontates. (sic)
Death of R. R. Huntzinger (Page 1)
At half past five o’clock last evening, just as the beautiful sunset
in the west was disappearing, the life of R. R. Huntzinger went out.
It is not cruel to say that the usual sad messenger came as a relief to
the sufferings of this patient and noble young man. For nearly four
years he has been confined to his bed, entirely helpless during that long
time, suffering excruciating pains and agony most of the time from that
dread disease, inflammatory rheumatism. But during his entire confinement
he bore those sufferings with the utmost resignation and patience, cheerfully
submitting to the will of the Divine master and his fate. Everything
that could be done for the alleviation of his sufferings, was done by those
kind parents and loving sisters and brother, and sympathetic friends in
all parts of the city. In fact, the comfort of Rob seemed to be the
uppermost subject in that household, and the choicest of fruits in season were always
procured for him. The attentions of that family toward that boy never
lagged. It was the offerings of genuine love and kindness toward
a cherished son and brother whose life was so soon to pass through the
valley and shadow of Death. Nor did Rob Huntzinger ever forget a
kindness. The sympathetic acts of friends would move him to tears,
and he would oftentimes refer to them. He spent most of the time
during his confinement in reading everything he could get hold of, and
at the time of his death was doubtless as well posted in the current and
choicest literature of the day and matters of public concern, as any person
in the city. He retained full possession of his faculties until Wednesday
morning, when he became unconscious.
He was born in Pottsville, Penna., on the 23d of July,
1855, making him at the time of his death 28 years, 5 months, and 25 days
old. He was in the grocery business here three years, and was extensively
known as an upright and honorable young man. The funeral will take place
Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock.

PENSIONS WANTED (Page 2)
It Would Take $200,000,000 to Meet the Demands Before Congress.
[Washington Telegram to Chicago Tribune.]
The most dangerous attacks on the Treasury are the bills
proposing additions to the pension rolls. Each bill is backed up
by petitions which apparently come from ex-soldiers. The large part
of them are collected by claim agents, one of whom has gathered 30,000
signatures of alleged soldiers asking for additional pension legislation.
Aside from the general bills which involve by official calculation over
$200,000,000 there have already been introduced nearly 1,000 private pension
bills. Many originate with attorneys, who send bundles of them to
members, with a request to present them. They then charge those interested
$25. Not one in ten of this class can ever pass. Many have
no merit. Few sent in by claim agents are ever followed further than
the fee. The proposition to equalize bounties has been introduced
by a dozen members. There have been several official calculations
made of the amount which the passage of such a bill would require.
The Paymaster General estimated that it would take as a minimum $157,000,000,
and that the amount might run up to $163,000,000. No official calculation
places the sum at less than $125,000,000. At least 250 additional
clerks will be needed to make the settlement. The next scheme in
the order of magnitude is the one for removing all limit upon granting
arrears of pensions. This also is strongly supported by petitions
which pension agents have procured. A bill which is being urged with
great persistence is the bill for pensioning all who were prisoners of
war for two months; without regard to the question whether or not they
suffered thereby in health, this is an insidious measure, since few politicians
have the courage to take even an apparent stand against pensioning those
who suffered as prisoners, and there are very many deserving cases.
Added to these are the bills to pension all who served fourteen days in
the Mexican war, all who served in the various Indian wars, and the two
extraordinary bills of Price, of Wisconsin, and Peters, of Kansas, one
providing for pensioning all who served in the Union army upon their reaching
the age of 45 years, and the other providing for pensioning all who served
sixty days for the terms of their natural lives. For all except these
last schemes there is a great pressure here.
[Telegram to New York Herald]
Although the Forty-eighth Congress has been in actual session only
three weeks, the bills already introduced would, if enacted, absorb all
the surplus revenues of the Government for several years to come.
No regular appropriation bill has yet been reported, but nearly every measure
presented contains an appropriation direct, indefinite, implied, or oblique.
An attempt has been made to classify the most important bills and estimate
the probably amount involved, so that the public may see how their representatives
in Congress would like to dispose of the public moneys. A recapitulation
of the amounts proposed to be appropriated by the bills shows this startling
result:
Public buildings and grounds.......................................$ 12,000,000
River and harbor improvement.................................... 6,000,000
Public education............................................................. 105,000,000
New bureaus, commissions, etc..................................... 1,000,000
Soldiers Home in Kansas................................................. 200,000
Equalizing bounties (official estimate)..................... 100,000,000
Pensions (estimated)...................................................... 175,000,000
Prize money, etc.............................................................. 363,644
Deserters, nurses, etc. (estimated).............................. 2,250,000
Half-pay for Revolutionary officers (estimated)... 25,000,000
Depredations and spoliations (estimated).................. 10,000,000
Private bills (estimated)............................................... 25,000,000
State claims (estimated)............................................... 30,000,000
Drawbacks, rebates, etc................................................ 3,975,549
Miscellaneous items (estimated)................................... 5,000,000
Grand total............................................................... $ 500,790,194

ROBERT RUDY HUNTZINGER
was born in Pottsville,
Pa., July 23, 1855, and died in Fairfield, Iowa, January 17, 1884, at the
age of 28 years, 5 months and 25 days. His illness was of long duration,
and most painful and trying in its character. For many years he had
been afflicted with rheumatic troubles. At the early age of 15, he
was under the necessity of stopping school, his tendency towards inflammatory
rheumatism having so affected his eyes, that at one time he was confined
for several weeks in a dark room. Having at least partially recovered,
he conceived that an Eastern trip would help him, and for sometime was
in the bank with his uncle in the town of his birth. While in Pennsylvania
he became interested in Christian matters, and was confirmed in the Lutheran
Church, of Pottsville, in company with a large class. His failing
health brought him home again, and by every means possible he sought to
stay the insidious hand of the dread disease. For a time he was successful,
and was in Fairfield engaged in business for about two years. But
the apparent check in his disease was only temporary, and for six months
he was at the Hot Springs, for five at the mineral baths at Sparta, Wisconsin
and during the spring, summer and fall of 1878, in company with a friend
made an overland trip through parts of Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas and Indian
Territory; but it was all to no effect, the progress of disease was unchecked,
and its advances were slow and painful, each stage being marked by a restriction
of the activities of its victim. From the time of his outdoor traveling
he was for a year confined almost entirely to the house, rarely if ever
going out the yard. In August, 1879, he took his bed, and for four
years and a half he lay there racked by pain and disease, suffering, no
doubt, many deaths. Gradually he grew weaker, his bad spells came
oftener and were harder; or at least his failing strength made them less
easy to bear. Having known him and visited him almost weekly for
more than six months, it gives me pleasure to testify to the Christian
fortitude, endurance and patience with which he "waited upon the Lord."
Endowed with a naturally strong constitution and unusual mental capacities
he made a strong fight against disease, and his will power, I have no doubt,
sustained him to no little extent. Full of energy, ambition and vim,
he would have, had it been the pleasure of God, run well the race of life.
But God had other things in store for him. Desiring to live, if it
should be God’s will, he had no fear of death, and freely talked with me
of the mysteries and joys of the other world, into which death was to him
the open door, not to be dreaded but to be desired as a beneficent gift
from a loving Lord to him. Praying to be relieved of his intense
suffering, he prayed "Nevertheless not my will, O God, but Thine be done."
He had a work, he did it, for none could look upon him without thinking
less of their own troubles. Burdened with my pastoral cares, it was
a source of strength to me to visit and talk with him. Being dead
he speaketh. He fell asleep on Thursday P.M. at 5:30 o’clock, having
been unconscious for many hours.

usefulness in the word had she not been so soon cut down.

--Our eyes were made to dilate to-day by the sight of a silver brick
sent to W. B. Murray from Parral, Mexico, by express. It was taken
out of ore from the Minas Neuevas lode by the mill belonging to the Sterling
Silver Mining Co. This brick contains $148.75, and is stampee (sic) 15
marks, 5 ounces. The mill produced 27 of these bricks in thirty days’
run.
--An associated press dispatch says "It is reported that the Iowa
delegation in Congress will urge the appointment of Hon. Moses A. McCoid
to succeed Judge McCrary on the circuit court bench." The Journal has regarded all mention of Mr. McCoid’s name in connection with the McCrary succession as a joke - a very huge one. But Mose
seems to have the "bee in his bonnet" in earnest, and innocently thinks
he is the Eli that can "get there." We don't think the Iowa delegation
have any thought of urging Mr. McCoid’s name, or that they will have the
gall to present it. We are quite confident that if President Arthur
knew the reputation Mr. McCoid bears in this community--where he is known
best--as a lawyer and personally, he would'nt even dream of thus debauching
that high judiciary. Jefferson county has twenty two members of the
bar, either of whom would make a purer circuit judge than Mr. McCoid.
