of congress in regard to closing tho
Arctic stations at Lady Franklin bay
and Point Barrow. Tho failure of tho

Lieutenant Grccly and his men at Lady
1-rnnkliu Hay has caused sotuo uneasi
ness respecting their safety, and it Is
felt to bo very important that commu
nication with them shall bo established
this summer. Congress appropriated
$3.1,000 for "completing tho work of
scicntilio observation and exploration"
at both the Arctic stations, and bring'
iiiLf nomo tho oflhors and men. It is
estimated that $1,000 will be sufliciont

$29,000 will not bo adequate for the
relief and bringing homo of tho parly
at Ladv Franklin bay, especially if ft
must bear tho charges of pay for thu
enlisted men detained from the army
for tho relief party, and for tho pay of

equipments of tho relief expedition, in
addition to tho cost of chartering a
suitable vessel, which alone will amount
to $21,000 for a voyago of threo and a
linn months.
Owinc to tho peculiar wording of
the army appropriation act, it is consid
ered quito uncertain whether any of tho
money thereby appropriated can bo
used for the pay, equipment, and sup
ply usclusivo of subsistence of tho
unlisted men detailed lor this service.
It is also said that tho amount appro
priated by conirres $5,000 for sub-
sistence'for tho relief parties, and thoso
to bo relieved, will bo very inadequate.
The Legislature.
Tho following bills havo passed finally
since last issue.
In the Senate :
Houso bills authorizing agricultural
aud horticultural societies to appoint
police for tho protection of property.
benato bill making tho term ot city
school superintendent three years.
in tho llouso :
Tho bill making an appropriation of
$150,000 to tho Pennsylvania Institu
tion, for the Deaf aud Dumb passed fi
nally,
Tho bill appropriating $10,000 to tho
Lackawanna hospital at Scranton was
read Jtlio third time, and passed finally.
Un Tuesday Mr. l'tiitn, ot 1'hiladel-
phia, moved to reconsider tho vote by
which tho llouso bill making Wyom
ing aud Sullivan a separate judicial
district was ordorcd to bo transcribed
for third reading was adopted, llr.
Collins,of Sullivan, opposed recousider
ation. Ilo had offered tho amendment
in good faith, and becauso tho people
of Wyoming and Sullivan wanted tho
district to remain as it was. Tho mo
tion for reconsideration was advocated
by Messrs. Furth, Hillings, M'Namara,
Suarpe, Sponsler, who said that tho
members should vote conscientiously,
regardless of what tho governor would
do. This remark was in reply to a
statement of Mr. Hillings that the gov
ernor would veto the bill as amended
Mr. S. N. Mitchell, of Susquehanna,
favored tho amendment, becauso it was
asked for in 1874, and is asked fomow
by the peoplo of Wyoming and Sulli
van JUr. .brown, ot Jute, could not aeo
why this change should bo mado. Ho
did not think tho legislature should
pass such laws either to suit tho gov
ernor or attorney general. Tho peoplo
and members of tho bar of Wyoming
and Sullivan counties said that they
needed this district, aud they ought to
know beet what they want
Mr. Ammcrman, of Lackawanna,
said that Wyoming county did not do-
sire to he included in a separate dis
trict. Mr. B. B. Mitchell, of Bradford,
had read a letter from JudgoElwell in
which ho did not desiro that otillivan
should bo attached to his district. The
yeas and nays were called upon tho mo
tion to reconsider and were yeas 88,
nays 05. Agreed to. Mr. Bryson, of
Columbia, offered an amendment to
strike out Sullivan from tho Columbia
and Montour district. He thought tho
district of Columbia and Montour
should bo permitted to remain as it is
up, and wo can look tor no resurrec- mat diiugc x-iweti, one oi mo omesi

Tho Doinooratio oouii y committee of
Fayette havo nominated II. J. Gilmoro
as a candidate for tho legislature to fill
tho vacancy caused by tho resignation
ot JS. i. Dukes who murdered Uapt
Nutt. There were fifteen candidates
in tho field for nomination.
Brady, who has been on trial in
Dublin for murdering Lord Cavendish
and Mr Burke, was convicted. When
tho judgo asked Brady if ho had any.

should not bo pronounced, ho responde'd
in a loud, clear and firm voice : "I am
not guilty of tho chargo which the in.
formers havo sworn on me. These men
would swear away tho life of any one
to savo their own." Ilo was then sen
tenced to bo hanged on May M. Af
ter sontnnco had been pronounced,
Brady, who had recovered his compos
ure, again protested his innocence. Ilo
was than hurried from tho court room.
uio announcement ot tho verdict was
received with marks of tho utmost dis
favor by crowds on the street.
Tho Moxican government is disposed
to bo liberal to n fault, it would appear
in granting subsidies to Americans who
engage in constructing railroads in that
country. It is reported in tho Jlecord
of Philadelphia, that ono hundred and
fifty million of dollars is offered. Tho
largo amount of these engagements, so
far in excess of tho rovenuo receipts of
tho Moxican Treasury, is creating somo
alarm m that country. It is suspected
that tho owners ot tho completed rail
ways in the end will havo a mortgage
upon tho country which can only bo
satisfied bv nunoxation. Doubtless tho
granting of subsidies was a mistaken
polioy. There is capital to build rail
roads that are needed ns fast as they
aro constructed.
tieorge li. Auderson ot mtuaville is
thought to carry a heavier lifo insur
ance than any other man in tho country.
Ho is insured for $350,000. J. B,
Stetson of Philadelphia has $310,000;

Disposing of Party Leaders-IWllkcs-Ilarro
Iiecord.
Ex-Senator Blaine, at one time tho
"Plumed Knight of Navarre'' of tho
vountr republicans, has been disposed
of by ono faction of tho party,perhaps a
little too hastily. Sherman has also
gone tho way of played out favorites.
and Grant, Conkling and Cameron
aro all sent to tho rear for hospital
treatment, whilo tho man designed by
tho tates to be republican leader was
sent to his final account by an assassin's
bullet. Thus it will bo seen that tho
old leadership of tho party is all broken
whether in or out of tho body.
The Duty of Democratio Members.
Alio senate which is controlled by a
rcpubican majority, notwithstanding
tho adoption of a resolution in favor of
Saturday sessions, rojmlarly adjourns
from Friday noon until Monday night
or luesday morning.
But this act docs not justify tho
democratio maiority ot tho houso in
no?lecting tho duty which dovolves on
it.' The political complexion of that
body was changed under provision that
the abuses would bo reformed. Ono of
the most conspicuous abuses was tho
failuro to meet tho expectations of the
pubho in tho matter ot attention to du
ty. Tho democratio maiority has a
duly to perform. If it fails, tho demo
cratio members aro derelict. Tho peo.
plo will hold them to a strict account
for every failure to perform their full
duty. J'atriot.

Tho fees of Roscoo Conkling aro not

still makes money out of his intiuencu,
His last visit to Washington lasted
but a jfow hours and paid him $5,000,
'1 h's is how it did so ; A young nttor
ney of Washington to fame unknown,
had an Impoitaut laud case. Much
tnopcrty was involved, but tho sign a
tui u of Secretary of tho Interior Teller
was necessary to tho success of tho suit.
This accomplished and tho unknown
ntttornoy could claim tho eighteen
thousand dollar feo agreed upon by
contract. Ho tued every way to get
Tellers signature, Imt all his efforts
wore useless, and ho was in despair.
At last ho wrote to Conkling, told him
that ho had tho case and nil that it
lacked was Teller's signature to bring

young man, got tho papers, aud called
on tho secretary of tho interior. Mr.
Teller was glad to sen Mr. Conkling,

Mr. Conkling said, so goes tho story,
"Mr. Teller, Ihavo a littlo case hero,

''Special" Pension Oases.
Secretary Lincoln, of tho war depart
ment, has been obliged to order that
no further pension cases bo mado spec
ial at tho surgoon general's ollico for
tho present, owing to tho overdoing of
tho practlco of tho request of emigres
men. Tho records upon disabilities
received in tho lino of duty, with tho
hospital lists, aro on file In this ollico,
and a largo forco is kept constantly at
work searching for tho evidence in
pension cases. It Is tho habit of np
plicants to wiito to their congressman
and ask that their cases bu expedited.
In cases where tho applicant was
shown to bo In needy circumstances
the commissioner of pensions has been
in the habit of making them specials 1
that is, taking them up out of tho their
turn nnd pushing them through. Tho
practice lias been limited to uxtremu
and peculiar casew, becauso ono appli
cant tuns served out of order necessar
ily kept back all tho rest who wcio
ahead of him.
Tho credit for n speedy nllownnco of
pension always redounding to tho con
gressman who asked it, under tho sup.
position by thu peoplo that ho did it,
has tempted some inembcis to incienso
tho number of such requests. Finally
it bus becoiuo tho practicu of some
members to ask that every case sent to
them bo made special, until it has be
come au abuse. Tlin number of con
gressmen who went to extremes in
this matter is not great, however. At
present thero aro 250 cases pending
in tho surgeon general's office, sent by
congressmen and marked "special."
They all come from about 15 congress
men. Of the batch, Morey of Tennes
see, has an even 100, and Sam Miller,
of Pennsylvania, has asked for 00.
Tho rest average about 10 each. By
asking too niucli,howovcr, thoy will get
nothing, ns it was found impossible to
rim tho ollico with such interruption of
tho routine proceedings.
A Visit to Mr. TiWen.
Tilt: (HUMKllCV STATESMAN VEKV WKU.,
HUT Al.TOOr.TllEU OUT 01 Till-. CUH'.AT
HACK.
Iloston I-ost.)
Desiring to get at tho truth amid tho
conflicting reports regarding Mr. Til
den's health, and to renew a pleasant
acquaintance formed several years ago,
a representative of the J'oH sought
out that gentleman at his residence in
Gramercy Park. At tho Tildcn man
sion, or rather palace, for palace it is, or
will bo when completed, the representa
tive was most cordially welcomed by
Mr. Tildcn, who at that moment was
superintending tho work of a number
of carpenters, decorators and carvers,
and apparently taking great inteicst in
all tho elegant details of their work.
Tho newspaper man was glad to note
that ho is in good llesh, possesses a
healthy gloiV-in his cheeks, and has an
eye as bright nnd a mind ns keen as in
1879, which was tho last time that tho
newspaper man had seen him previous
to this visit. Mr. Tilden's hands still
show something of tho nervous tremor
that has caused so much apprehension
as to his tenure of life. Ilo explained
that it was not tho result of paralysis
or a premonition of it, but is wholly a
nervous trouble, originally brought on
by overwork in the campaigns of 1875
0, when ho labored incessantly for fif
teen hours a day, undertaking a mental
aud physical task that would havo bro
ken down any ordinary constitution.
Mr. Tilden's voice is not strong, but it
is much improved, thanks to his care
ful and judicious life, both in and out
doors. During tho interview Mr. Til
den talked cheerfully about his health
and of hopo for years yet of comforta
blo living.
Tho J'ost representative brought the
conversation around to politics and tho
outlook for-1831. Mr. Tildcn emphat
ically staled that lie was not figuring
or in any way bothering himself about
party politics, cither on his own or any
other man's account. His only desire,
he said, was "to bo let alone." Ilo
keeps an courant regarding tho politi
cal world by reading tho papers and by
communion with a pleasant circle of
friends. Although not a candidate for
any position within tho gift of the par
ty, Mr. Tilden is by r.o means milliter
ent to its future. Ilo considers tho
chances for tho success of tho national
Democratic party in 1881 as of tho
brightest character, as things look to
day, nnd ho hopes tor tho best, in
answer to the question, "Who, in your,
judgment, is tho most available man
for the Presidential nomination t ' tho
old statesman cocked his eye and, loot
ing very wisely at tho newspaper man,
remarked : "That is a matter that has
not yet developed."

A banquet was given at tho Palmer

mark tho anniversary of the birth of
Thomas Jefferson, by tho Iroquois

toast of ''Our Country."
After eulogizing in eloquent terms

Eighth and Market Streets, Philadelphia.
Three Strong Points
Point One:
Men's Spring Overcoats; a big stock that
tat"-" . '"-rything from the very plain low priced to the finest,
from the lightest fancy color to the plain black, from the
smallest youths' to the largest of large men's sizes. A com
in inding stock that every l'.ht overcoat buyer must see- if he
cares to know the market.
Point Two:
Fifteen Lin es of Men's Vliisincss Suits. A little money
is a powerful thing in Oak Hall. Witness the following:
Fancy Cassimcrc Sack Suits at SS.50.and the same
goods in walking coat rtyle, at $9.00. Our only
boast on them is that they arc good for the money.
Manhattan Cheviots in six full lines, both sacks
and walking coats, at ,iooo. The buttons and
trimmings of these suits arc worth special attention.
Plain Cassimcn s-. three varieties, in sack style, at
$ 10.00. Very reliable.
Five styles of Hn--!'t Ca simero Suits, of quiet
styles, and in both J.ick : .1 I Walking Coats, at
16.00. The wcll-knowi reputation of these goods
speak for themsrhvs.
These fifteen lines aro not fragments pulled together
foran advertisement. They ivprcsent two thousand
suits, and goods to make more. There is business
in them.
Point Three:
Custom Made Clothing, a large display of
piece goods to order. There are very great bargains in all the
following lines:
Class A, ill any ordinary business style, J?i8.00
Class 11; " " " " 20.00
Class C, " " " " 22.50
Class D, " " " " 25.00
Our " points " aro mad : short and sharp for practi
cal people.
