THE COLUMBIAN AND DEMOCRAT, BLOOMSBURG, COLUMBIA COUKTY, PA. The Columbian. 0, E. Elwoll, I Tiii... J. Ei BlttanbaalarJ BLOOM8BURG, PA. FRIDAY, FEBKUAKY G, 1885. General Fits John Porter has mado an appeal to tlio President for restora tion to the army, and the nppcathns been transmitted to Congress Governor I'attison lias vetoed tho hill to add four to the list of inngis traits. Ho is upheld almost utmii'i luously by tho city prow, and his veto should be sustained. President-elect Clevclaud grows more and ruoie in the respect and ad miration of tho people the better he becomes known. Ho is moving slowly, cautiously and surely in tho selection of his cabinet, having recently held in terviews with Messrs. Randall, Car lisle and Hendricks, each of whom went to Albany at Mr. Cleveland's in vitMion. What was Baid at their vis its is not known, but thctr result will bo seen when tho names of the cabinet officers are announced. Mr. Cleveland's reticence is giving Rome of the republican newspapers mnch annoyance, because ho has not made known his advisers, nor indicated ihe entire policy of his administration. When tho new President is sworn in tbo public will know all that is neces sary to be known in good time. In the meantime Mr. Cleveland is very wise in keeping his own counsel. TEE GBANOER BILL.

WASHINGTON LETTER. from ocii nKnvi.AU conur.sroNtiKNT. Washington, Feh'y. 4. 1885 In four short weeks this city, let tho weather bo what it may, will present an appearanuo joyful or tristful accord ing to the brain buhind the rutinn upon which tbo vision falls. As sei:n by hopofut democrats, It will bo a hap py day. To despondent republicans, it will be Ilia dav of doom. To a class that has grown numerous in Washing ton of late, it will bo a day of mingled hope and despair. The class I refer to oompnso a largo number ot crcAcent democrats, thosu who were republicans four months ago, but who have been growing, growing in the uui lure and admonition of Andrew Jackson and Samuel J. Tilden; glowing so fast that they are green and sappy. They have tolded up their bloody shirts, abjured their campaign slanders, read the con stitution of the United States right side up, and are vociferous for the old flag and an nppropiiation. There nro thousands of them, male and female. Who would have believed to have heard them talk, and to have seen them work for tho "grand, pure, historic par ty of moral ideas," that they would now be willing to hold otllco nnd draw pay from tho party of disunion, of ret rogression, rascality, rum, Romanism nnd rebellion I But there is no doubt about it, their racket is to hold the offi ces and draw the pay. They have in terpreted tho bright motto ol civil ser vice reform to mean "to the victims belong tho spoils." Happy victims of a foolish delusion 1 It is not for such as you that political wars arc waged and administrations won. The carpet ed, upholstered, and curtained offices of tho public service will soon know you no more. Your luxurious places will soon be filled by thoso who will work, by real clerks who are not enervated by ytais of idleness and shirking. The work of the government in many offices is twelve months in ar rears. The neglect of work especially in tho U. S. Patent Office is disgrace ful. This office, far from being a tax on tho people is actually a money-making establishment. The fees paid by inventors to havo their machines exam ined aro largely in excess of the ex penses of tho office, nnd it has paid a surplus of more than 82,700,000 into the Treasury of tho United States. Notwithstanding this faet, inventom are compelled to wait eight and ten months beforo their cases aro taken up for examination. Tin Commissioner of Patents, Hon. Ben. Buttcrworth is a politician and too much engaged in the work of his contested eleution to at tend to the duties of the Patent Office. Many of the examiners are incompe tent, dissipated and idle. They are re quired to spend only seven hours per day in office, but instead ofgivingtheir time to the examination ot applications for patent, they waste their time in reading gossip, and in flirtations with tho female employees of tho Patent Office. These Examiners arc hoping to hold their places under the new ad ministration on tho ground that they havo expert mechanical skill, and spec ial knowledge of the classes of inven tion ovr which they have charge. But thcro aro few government offices in which judicious weeding will do moro good. Ornamental drones and idlo sineour isis are thick in all the offices, and their newly assumed and ill-fitting democra cy Bhould not deceive anyone. It is the general opinion that tho week will he devoted to the Diplomat ic appropriation bill in tho Senate, and to the River and Harbor and Post Of flee appropriation bill in the House. The Post Office bill as prepared, by the committee on appropriations of- tho House, makes two important changes in the rates of postage. f Tho rato on letters nnd other scaledpnck"iges chan ged from two (2) -cents' for each half ounce, or fraction thereof, to two (2) cents an ounce; while the postago on newspapers and othor periodicals, mail ed from a recognized office of publica tion, is reduced from two cents jwr pound to one cent. Both changes will bo welcomed by tlu public and both are in tho interest of tho people Con gress should havo no hesitation in adopting the report of the committer. 0'Donovan Rossi Shot. O'Donovau Rossa, tho dynamiter, was shot in New York at G o'clock last Monday afternoon, by a young English woman. The shot "took effect in tho back and is not fatal. Rossa has madu tho following statement of the shoot ing : "On Saturday, January 31, about 4 p. in., I received a letter at my oliice, No. 12 Chambers street. The message was in writing and delivered by a mes senger boy. The noto stated that a lady wished to see mc; that she was interested m the Irish cause and desir ed to assist it. She didn t care to go to my office and remain waiting there until I came. Sho only would ask for' ten minutes time. The boy told mo that tho lady was at tho telegraph office in tho Stewait building, corner Broadway and Chest nut streets. I went with him and I met her. I told her that it would be well for her to go to some hotel, as the telegraph office was no place to talk in. Wo went out and went into Stivorcoy's hotel. Wo went into the ladies' par lor, nnd she said she would bo able to civo considerable money If anything uood was done. Sho then said alio would call Monday, February 2d, at 4 o'clock. To day sho soul another mcssago to my othce, ami 1 went to tho same tele graph office and then I met tho lady. She showed mo n paper which I was to sign. Sho then suggested that wo go to somo plaoe. AVo walked down Chamber street toward Broadway and wo got a short distance toward Bread way, when tho woman stepped back and fired two or three shots at me. Ono of tho balls entered my back." The woman's namo is Mrs. Dudley, and sho alleges lhat Rossa admitted to lier that he was at the bottom of tho recent explosions in London, and sho mailo up her mind that he was too great a villain to livo and resolved to kill him. Rossa has been sowing the wind and it is not surprising that ho should reap tho whirlwind. James Filbert Cunningham wa ar rested in London Inst week, for tbo dy tiamito explosions in Tower Nail, Lon don, on Saturday, January 21th. It is reported that he resided in St. Louis, until about six months ago, under tho name of Michael J. Byrne, where ho was instructing pupils in tho manufac ture of dynamite machines, and the mode of handling them. Cunningham has been Identified by sovcral persons as tho onu seen in the immediato vi cinity of tho lato dyrtamlto oxploious iu London.

Ingrain tumbles; Tapestry tumbles to Ingrain; llrtissels to Taivjstry; Velvet to Tapestry; ftloqttette below Mnissc'.s; hmyrna almost to Tapestry. People who were going to buy one are thinking of the next grade higher. The new prices point to different car pets or less expense. Which shall it be ? They need to know about the carpets of which they are thinking now as much as they know about those they were going to buy before. There is reason, therefore, for putting in print the com monest facts about well known carpets. Tapestry looks like Brus sels, as every body knows There are several grades of it. Few can distinguish one from another. Certain makes command the highest prices, partly because of the difficulty of judging the grades. But, as buyers gen erally have no means of knowing one make from another, they have to trust the seller. Buying Tapestry, then, is apt to be an act of confidence. We propose to make it less so. So is buy ing Brussels. We propose to make it safer. And the same of the others. What is Tapestry carpet? What is Brussels ? One is a copy of the other. Tapestry costs about two-thirds as much as Brussels ; and, on the floor, there is very little difference between them. The frame-work of both is hard inflexible cotton and jute. If you take a bit of each and pull the woolen yarn all out, there is left, of the Brussels, the frame-work that holds it together and gives it stiffness; it looks like a sieve, with meshes about ten to the inch. Of the Tapestry more is left. When the wool is drawn out of the face, the back is solid with jute. Pull out this solid back of jute, and only the frame-work is left ; the same as the frame-work of Brussels. The difference be tween the stuffs of Brussels and Tapestry, then, is jute in the place of a part of the: vool. The face of Brussels and Tapestry, both, is a mass of loops of colored woolen yarn held fast by the hidden frame work of cotton and jute be low ; and the colors form the carpet's figure. The car pets goodness as to dur ability depends on the mak ing, of course, but main ly on the wool in the loops and what is under the loops. One judges Tapestry by the number of loops to the inch. The best has ten ; the poor est down to six. Turn it over, and look at the back. The larger the mesh in the frame-work, the more sparse the loops and the wool on the face. What is under the face ? What effect does it have ? The loops on the face of Brussels are backed by wool below. The loops on the face of Tapestry are backed by jute. Wool is soft, and jute is hard. The wool on the face, of course, wears longer against a back of yielding vvool than against a back of unyielding jute. So Brussels wears longer than Tapestry. How much longer? By as much as the back of wool is gentler to the trampled loops than jute ; so much ; no more. It isn't soft enough to have the difference felt by the foot in use. The maker's object in using wool instead of jute is only to make a sof ter bottom to wear against. The luxurious softness one feels with the foot comes only of carpet-lining. This back of wool in Brussels has another conse quence. It is the source of colors to make the carpet's pattern. It consists, or rather the wool of the Brus sels carpet consists, of several yarns of different colors lying side by side in little bundles. At every tenth-of-an-inch or so, one out of the bundle of colored yarns is looped above ; and the yarn that is taken to form the loop is the yarn of the color the pattern re quires just there. Now that is the whole of the Brussels fabric. The Tapestry colors are printed one after another on one .continuous yarn. There's nothing more won derful. Loops are made on the yarn, one after another ; the colors are gauged to form the pattern as the loops are made ! Unravel a bit of Tapestry, and watch the loops as they disappear. The pattern is on the yarn, but three times longer! Now, by taking the pattern out, you see how it got in. The yarn was printed. The pattern enlarged tJirce-lolct was printed on the yarn it self; and, when the yarn is looped in the weaving, the pattern appears I Incredible but truei And now you sec why the pattern is sharp, exact, in Brussels; and a little shady, inexact, in Tapestry. There is no other difference in look between the two. The grades of Brussels: "five-frame," " four-frame," etc. Not to go into difficult reading, "five-frame" means that the bundles consist of five yarns: "four-frame" means four yarns; and so on. The number of ''frames" is the proportion of wool in the carpet, its body, close ness, weight and softness value and durability. " Five-frame " Brussels proper has its bundles of five woolen yarns, and these yarns treble fifteen yarn? in a bundle ; but nobody makes it so. The nearest approach to that standard is found in the best makes. There is "five-frame" Brus sels with under threads of jute in place of wool ; a sort of mongrel Brusscls-and-Tapestry. But we need not go into all the adulterations. We have set forth these two staple carpet-fabrics as fairly and fully as we can in brief. You will buy the safer if you have read with care, especially after a little carpet-dissecting. What we have told is by no means all there is to tell. It is enough to sharpen your eyes and guide your judgment; to make you comparatively in dependent of names and phrases. Best Ingrain ("extra super"), 60 cents; a room ful.
