BLOOMSBURG, PA,
FRIDAY, DEUISMHEU 22, 1832
C. Men. Johnson of Wilkesbarre, is n
ciiuHtlnto for Heading clerk of tlio
House. Ha would mako n good one,
nnd wo wish him fuccc9.
The lower liousa of Congress !mh
decided not to take a holidny recess.
Kobcson appeared in tlio rolo of n re
former nnd offered a resolution impos
ing a fine of fifty dollars on any mem
ber who does not answer to his name at
roll call. It appear.- that Robeson, as
well iw other members of Congress,
ha learned a lesson from the last elec
tion. Tho Star Uouto trial is again in pro
grcsj at Washington, and it is to bo
hoped that full justice will be done
t'neso government plunderer!). Tho
trial may last two or threo months.
The following correspondence to tho
Philadelphia Times gives a pointed de
scription of the caso :
This case differs from most important
criminal prosecutions. There is no
reasonable doubt, nnd thero can be no
reasonable doubt, of tho deliberate and
repeated frauds perpetrated by the
defendants, by which the government
was robbed of millions of dollars. Of
tho perpetration of theso monstrous
frauds thero can be no dispute, and
that Dorsey then a Senator, and Brady
then tho Assistant Postmaster General
who bad chargo of mail contracts, were
the chief criminals in conceiving and
executing theso crimcs,is just as clearly
established as it is that Gtiitcau shot
Garfield. The frauds havo been de
tected ; the amount of money stolen is
known ; the parties who directed the
scheme of theft and most largely shared
the profit,are as well known as Arthur
is known as President. There is not a
muglo plausible ground for the defense
to stand upon on the merits of the case.
Tho Judge knows tho defendants to bo
guilty ; tho counsel on both sides know
them to bo guilty and every juror went
into the box knowing that tho men
they arc sworn to try, aro neither more
nor less than a confederation of the
most desperate and successful public
thieves. Such are the circumstances
under which tho trial start-", and thero
is ouly one way of escape for the crim
inals. They must corrupt jurors or
witnesses, or their conviction is as cer
tain as the setting of the sun. Even
the political influence that onco strongly
inclined to protect Dorsey and Brady
by indirection, has boon quickened to
activo hostility by Dowey's mad vitu
peration of every public oflicer who
dared to demand the administration of
justice. President Arthur undoubtedly
strongly sympathized with Dorsoy until
recently. Ho did not sympathize) with
Dorsey 's crime, but he did profoundly
sympathize with tho man who had, by
Star route political method, elected
Arthur Vice-President and thus mako
him President; and he is human enough
not to desire to reward such services
with a felon's curse and punishment.
But Dorsey has pressed Arthur's for
bearauco too far, and no v Arthur for
gets his gratitude to Dorsey ns ho re
members that he is the Chief Magistrate
of the nation, charged with the execu
tion of its laws, and he has manfully
accepted his duty. Dorsey 's vitupera
tive publications made it "n necessity
for .tho President to refer to tho Star
route trials in his annual message in no
uncertain tone, and it is now known
that no power of the administration
wiU be, or dare be, employed to defeat
justice in tho Star route cases. There
is, therefore, now no hope of escape for
Doisey and Brady but by corrupting
jurors or witnesses or both.
The State Committee.
For many years it has been custo
mary for all political parties to elect a
number of persons to compose what
aro known ns State committees, whose
duties are to conduct campaigns.
They are selected in accordance with
tho rules of tho respective orgauiza
tions, either from representative, sena
torial or congressional districts, or
from countiet. By the now rules of
tho Democratic party, each county in
the State chooses a member of their
committee, a provision which is a wise
one. In former years the State com-
imtteo lias existed only in name, as all
tho work of the campaigns has been
performed by the chairman and his
secretaries, or not at all. What the
party needs in this State, as well as
all over the Union, is thorough organ
ization, and tho vast amount of labor
necessary to accomplish this object,
cannot bo directed by two or three
men. It has been tho rule that coun
ty chairmen and their committees havo
not performed tho work that was as
signed them by tho State chairman, or
thai tuo latter Jias not given them the
necessary instructions so that thev
could work intelligently in co operation
with him. The last campaign shows
what can bo dono when thero is ac
tive, energetic and enthusiastic leader
ship. Most of tho counties in the
State wero thoroughly organized, the
chairmen wero kept informed as to tho
operations of the State committee, ami
the State committee know what was
being dono in each county. Tho cam
paign of this year was only tho begin
ning of tho work before the party.
What needs to bo done is for every
county to elect members of tho State
committee who will take an interest
in the cause, men who aro not chronic
oflioo seekers, nnd professional poli
ticians, and who aro not working sim
ply for their own aggrandizement. A
committee mado up of this latter class
would smack too strongly of bossism,
mid could not secure the conlideuco of
tho people, nor the success ot tho party.
What are wanted are energetic men
who will give their timo and talents to
tlio work betoro them, who will at
tend meetings at the call of tho chair
man, and not leave him to bear the
burden without any assistance or ad
vice men who will bo repaid for their
own inconvenience and labor simply
by the party victory that must follow
tierteot and harmonious organization.
Then let the comniitteo be n factor in
the campaign, and not merely a figure
head ; let them meet frequently, nnd
consult and advise, nnd assist, mid the
result will bo that twenty successive
years of Republican misrule will never
bo known again in Penusylvanin.
Thero is no man in tho Stato better
fitted to carry out such n programme
than tho present chairman, V. U.
Ileusel, Esq. Ho has already begun
tho good work, nnd a change now
would bo a swap on tho wrong bridge.
JIo will undoubtedly bo unanimously
To-elccted at tho meeting of tho com
niitteo next month nt Harrisburg.
A New Telegraph System,
Tho Postnl Telegraph Compuny U n
now corporation that is running a wiro
from Nuw York to Chicago Lester
A. Bartlctt who is connected with
this company, recently gave a reporter
the following information concerning
it. Tho wires aro being strung as rap-
fdly as thoy can bo manufactured nt
the company's works, for ono of tho
peculiarities of tho Postal Tolegrnnlt
Company is that it makes its own wiro
a steel core tho sizo of a largo knit-ting-needlo
electro plated with copper
till it is nearly ns thick as a lend pencil.
When New York Uhicngo lino is nn
ished. which will bo some time next
month, a second lino will bo started to
Philadelphia, Baltimore, nnd Washing
ton, and a thiid to go to Boston. In
the course of next year it i proposed
to i each all tho principal cities cast of
the Mississippi, and the companys con
tract with the new French Cable Com
pany obliges it to havo it wires in
Now Orleans in fifteen months from
September 1882. The cable company,
whioh is organized in i ranee, Willi n
capital of 11,000,000, is laying a ca
bio across the Atlantic, by way of tho
coast of Portugal and tho Azores Is
lands. From the Azores two cables
will be laid : one to Havana and As-
pinwall, where it will connect with tho
South American system of lines, and
tho other to a point on the shore of
Long Island Sound, where it will con
nect with tho lines of tho Postal Telo
graph Company. Tho poles for tho
land lino to this point are already in
place.
HOW THE St'ARKS WW.!, KI.Y
It is promised that some marvelous
results will bo shown when these lines
aro finished. Not only will tho wires
bo "worked" through from New York
to Chicago without repeating, a feat
practically impossible with iron wires
worked by the Morse or any other sys
tem, but tho rapidity of transmission
will bo greatly increased. I ho aver
age time required for sending a mes-
sago between tho two cities now is fif
teen, minutes but with the copper wires
it will be only a tew seconds.
It is claimed that tho application of
tho duplex and quadruplet patents to
tho Morse system is practicable ouly
on short circuits ; that in fact, tho lat
tcrwill work properly but little farther
than the distanco between Ncv York
and Philadelphia, while the Gray sys
tern, which is owned by tho Postal Tel
egraph Company, multiplies an iron
wire nine times over a three Hundred
mile circuit nud a copper wiro to any
extent and over any distance. Practi
cally, however, it has only been made
to work up nine messages at once on n
single copper wire. Tho base of the
system is that difference in vibrations
which make musical tones, it, is wen
known that if two strings on different
violins aro tuned in exactly the same
koy a bow drawn across one will cause
both to sound, and something of tho
same kind is applied to tho telegraph.
Alittlo instrument toned in a certain key
is attached to ono end of the wiro and
the message 'sent through it is received
by another instrument similarly toned,at
the other end. These two instruments
work in harmony and are not interfer
ed with at all by tho working of anoth
er, or any number of sets, over the
the same wire at the same time. There
is something in the electrical vibrations
that keeps these notes distinct.
WR1T1NO UV EI.EOTMCITV.
Besides this, however, tho company
owns astill more wonderful process. The
Leggo patent sends as many words
over a single wire in a minute as tho
most skillful Morse operator cau send
in an hour, delivers at tho receiving
station a fac simile of the copy furnish
ed, nud does it all without the aid of
a skilled operator. Anybody who
can turn a crank can send a message,
in his owji handwriting, with any pri
vate marks or other devices he pleases,
simply by first writing his message on
a chemically-prepared slip of paper
furnished by tho company. Practical
trials of this aparatus have
shown a speed of twenty five hundred
words a minute, but it can be enlarged
so as to do even better. A Morse op
erator who on send or receive Irora
two thousand to twenty-fivo hundred
words an hour can command tho high
est salary, and even then there is noth
ing to guarantee him against making a
mistake a thing which by tho Leggo
process is impossible. Pictures can bo
transmitted in this way. and an enter
prising reporter can send not only tho
words but tho music of a new opera by
wire; but tho great advantage the
company claims for it is the tinusmis
b'ioii of correspondence. It is expected
that the energetic business man who
has nn important letter to send a dis
tance will no longer drop it in the Post
Otlice unless, indeed, an arrangement
can be effected by which tho Post
Ollioea will bo mado receiving and de
livering stations for tho postnl t olo
graph but will bring it to tho com
pany's oflice, plnoj it with his own
hands in the machine and send it hum
ming in a moment to its destination.
A minor but impoitant point is tho su
periority of tho wiro for telephone pur
poses. It is claimed that the conduc
tivity of this heavily coppered wiro is
so great that telephoning over a thous
and mile circuit will be as easy as it now
is over an ordinary city wire.

Why De Long Perished.
IIS OlIANCKS OE 1.1 Mt TllllOWN AVTAY
TIIUOIII11I 1UNOUANCK A Ill's
BIAN'S VIEWS.
A dispatch from Carson, Nov., says
this Appeal publishes tho following this
morning: "Senator Jones, who is in
Carson, gives an account of Do Long's
Arclio expedition, which ho got Irom
Captain Ncrbaum In San Lrancisco.
Ncrbaum is a Russian who has been
for many years in tho service of the
Alaska Fur Company. He was the
last man from whom the I)u Long
party received provisions. Ho says !
Do Long left my station, nt almost the
northern point'bf Alaska, nnd I fur
nished htm, nt tho order of tho Alaska
Fur Company, with sledges, dogs and
provisions. Ho took twenty-suvon
dogs and one Indian. I account for the
loss of tho party on tho theory that
they killed tho dogs. I do not believe
that De Long knew anything nbout tho
undertaking lie was "grappling willi
and was ignorant of tho means by
which he could movo in that region. I
seo by his diary that thero wnslmt one
dog left a few days prior to his death.
Ho must hivo kilted the dogs without
knowing their great value, and when
the dog am gone there is absolutely
no hope left. The dog could not havo
died or been lost. They were killed.
The scent of these animals is remark
able nnd they will detect provisions no
matter where they may be. When men
in th no Vegions kill Pular bears and
have more mi nt than they cau keep,
they cache the meat, and it sometimes
lies in the ice for years until discovered
by dogs. The ice is full of theso
places. If you meet an Indian in that
region and kill his dog he lies down
and dies, considering that the bettor
part of him is gone. Another meat
'oversight was the neglect to take the
right kind ot guns. 1 ottered Uc .Long
a fowling piece mado expressly to use
in th-) Arctic seas nnd calculated to
stand the climate. Ho refused it be
cause ho wanted a gun that would kill
bears. I explained that ho ncedtd guns
for birds and not bears. He would not
listen to me, nt.d took Remington ritles,
tho weight of which hampered him and
wero of no use. Ho must havo seen
sea fowl ll)ing over his head all the
time, but could not kill them. TI13
diary says the Indian, after drawing
the sledge all day, would go out at
night and get birds and he kept tho
parly alive two weeks. Anywhere you
cut a hole through the ico nnd llntm a
light down lih will smarm, ! nt the
party had no fishing tackle. All their
chances were thrown away through
ignorance. I am not saying a word
against De Long. I liked him person
ally, but ho was not the man to com
mand the Arctic expedition. The noith
pole, in my estimation can be reached
only by following up tho warm current
which ilows to the pole, and beyond
there is the open sea. Put men in such
an expedition who have been raised in
tho northern part of Alaska and who
know all about tho region nud there is
a strong chance of success.''
Making Peace With Mitchell.
By Telegraph to tho Patriot.
Washington-, JJec. 17 Chris Ma-
gee, of Pittsburg, has added himself
to the other Stalwart leaders now here.
They all agree in saying piivately that
their mission heie is to conciliate Sena
tor Mitchell, with a view to the recon
ciliation of tho independents aijd stal
warts. 1 hey claim that they are sue
ceding. They rather think that the,-
have already conciliated Mitchell,
though the latter insists that he is not
reconciled, and will not be until he can
be received into tho stalwart fold on
tho independent platform. He does
not want to stultify himself. Meanwhile
Btalwart Pennsylvania congivsmcn nro
indiuercnt to a rconciliation, and
Mitchell lias not been named by the
independents a commissioner to treat
with tho stalwarts lor peace.
A deed of the famous Bedford
Snrinus has been siciied to Georco W.
Miillin, of Philadelphia, and is to be
luted March 15, upon the granteo de
positing two thirds of tho purchase mon
ey and a mortgage for tho oilier third.
The price is $250,000 and covers the
various springs and buildings and about
sixteen hundred acres ot land. Mr.
Mullin will organizo a stock company,
and nmong those who will take stock
aro Judge Leisinring, a son and son-
in-law of Win. II. Vanderhilt nnd tho
sons of tho late Asa Packer. A

of.
To give an idea of tho dairy indus
try in France, W. Hervo Wangon re
cently stated at an agricultural gather
ing that tho milk produced in the
country would, if collected, foima
stream 3 leet 4 inches in width nnd 1
foot 1 inch in depth, flowing night and
day all tho year with a mean velocity
of 3 feet 4 inches per second. Young
animals drink a part of this cnoimous
volume of milk, man takes a good
part of it, and thu rest is transformed
into cheese and butter.

Holiday Goods
Wanamaker's,
One quarter in tlio j.tore is
peculiarly a Holiday quarter,
a gift quarter; a place where
just a little use is made the
vehicle for. a great deal of
luxury. It is lull now; full
of wonders; full of pretty
things; full of silly tilings;
full of surprises; full of what
nobody expects; full of what
everybody expects; full, a-, it
has been full near Christmas
time before.
Beginning at the very cen
tre of the store, next north
are two counters, one of
them very large, and one
half ar, large, filled to over
flowing with perfumeries and
other toilet articles and
implements. YVc positively
must not begin to mention
names, nor even classes.
The only way to get away
from these miraculous things
is to break away.
Next northwest is a col
lection of small things that
people used to luxury will
recognize under the name
small leather articles. About
the biggest thing there is a
portfolio or writing-case.
Pocketbooks are the com
monest, lliit such pocket
books! Oh, yes you can
get good substantial pocket
books there, with not a cent
of extravagance in thfm ;
but naturallywe arc thinking
of the brighter ones. Leather
isn't fine enough. They must
enamel it, paint it, deck it
out widi silk and shining sil
ver and gold. Every year
peopl j get worse and worse.
Every year they must have
stranger and stranger things.
Silk, plush, velvet and fur
bags arc there, with all their
pretty and handy and cun
ning fastenings. But we
must hurry on.
Next northwest arc writing-papers.
Mere's room
for a treatise. We're not
going to stop. But anybody
who passes that white-looking
island of trade in the sea
of people, withoiit finding
out what IVanamaker Bac
means, in or out of 1 lolid: y
time, is a loser. What a
glory has a page cf pure
paper !
Photograph albums are
next on northwest; and here
the circle widens. I . ati
that long row photograph
albums ? Is it possible that
so many people didn't buy
albums last year, when we
brought over a ship-led
almost? There's a new set
of people this year, may be.
At least the photograpl-.cn:
haven'tgoneoutof busiiKCJ.
At this end are velw t
-frames ; yonder are boxes
of leather and plush. You
can pay $6o for a box that a
touch will spoil. Don't sup
pose that the things put out
to show, even under gUvs,
i re tho line ones. Whisper
to the saleswoman that our
pocket i:s full d mone,a d
that you are uchini' ec
rid ol ir.
Brass and bronze! 0
sec the mob t f b.a.-bes ami
bronzes. Open your i'ic
lionary. Tho t.rst word you
come to l.as i.j image there.
Prepostcrou tilings ! I lave
your wits about you. An
artist has studied out -every
one Th.e artiitiinwagtoo;
for jokes abound ; little
touches of humor and broad
farces. So there is pathos;
and beauty everywhere But
shall we presume to dis
course of ten thousand things
in a shop, each of which was
born of Art?
