tlio practice of law in New York
City.
Gov. Pattison denies tho report that
l.o will soon resign in order to accept
the position of Comptroller of the
Treasury at Washington.
James D. Fish, late President of the

The Prince and Princess of Wales
nro in Ireland, and are doing all in
their power to reconcilo their Irish sub

out taffy in largo lumps. He is vis
king the slums and shaking hands with
everybody.
General Grant still clings to life. He
has crood days and bad days, but his
death U only a question of a short
time. His discaao is incurable .and he
has expressed a desire to die. Ho said
a few days ago that every moment of
life was a week of agony to him. The
sympathy of tho wholo 'civilized world
aro with hira in his sufferings.
Thero are many war clouds above
the horizon. In tho Dominion of Can
ada tho half bretid rebellion under
Riel, in South America the disturbance
by Barrios, who has been killed in bat
tle, and in Europe what now seems to
indicate an inevitable war between
England and Russia, lead to the belief
that there will bo much blood shed in
1885.
A jury empannelled in a case at
Scranton was discharged by Judge
Archibald because two of tho jnrymcn
objected to the lengthy cross-examination
of a witness. They said they
had business to attend to and
could not waste so much time in listen
ing to evidence that had notbing to do
with tho case. Tho judge then told
them that it was their duty to listen to
all the evidence without cntioism.
The bill now pending in the legisla
ture to locate the Supreme Court per
manently at Harrisburg ought to be
come a law. It would ba just as con
venient for a large majority of attor
neys and much more so for the judges
than tho present itinerant system of
holding sessions at three points. Phila
delphia and Pittsburg lawyers who re
ceive large fees can as well afford to
go to Harrisburg and await their
turns as the lawyers from other points
can go to those cities. It would lessen
the expense of court machinery and be
much more satisfactory all around.
A correspondent to the Philadelphia
Times says :
What singular errors some of tho
brilliant writers from Washington now
and then fall into. A correspondent of
tho Looisville Courier-Journal in
writing of Mr. Cleveland's reception
says that tho Marino Band played a
medley of popular airs, including
"Dixie," "Snwauee River,'' and "Mas
sa's in de Cold, Cold Ground," and
says that it is the first time that these
aire have ever been played in the White
House, an assumption that the now
Democratio administration is crowding
out tho old popular loyal airs and in
troducing in their stead purely South
em music. This is entirely a fiction.
The popular Southern airs above quo
tod have been played in tho Executive
Mansion and grounds over since they
were written. It is easy for me to re
call an instance only a night or two
before Mr. Lincoln was assassinated.
Tho President had returned from Rich
mond and a crowd called with a band
to tender congratulations and a sere
nade The mau who was soon to bo
tho victim of the assassin's bullet ap
peared in response to calls and thanked
his audience for tho compliment. Sev
eral members of his Cabinet surround
ed bira, and it vr.n a very interesting
and dramatic occasion.
Just as he was closing his brief re
marks Mr. Lincoln said : "I seo yon
have a band with you. I should like
to hear it play 'Dixie.' I have consult
ed tho Attorney General, who is here
by my side, and he is of thn opinion
that Dixie belongs to us. Now play
it." The band struck up the old tune
and played it as I have never before or
since heard it rendered. As the strains
of tho music rang out upon t"he air
cheer after cheer went up from tho
throats of tho hundreds of happy men
who had called to congratulate Mr.
Lincoln upon the return of peaco.

Miss Cleveland has not worn the
same dress twice, so far, in all her so

tice such things augur that it is going
to be a raarvelouslv well-dressed ad
ministration. Thero has been lately a
laugnanie nurrying-up ot dress-makers
among the families who felt their
wardrobes were not quite up to tho e
igencies of the situation, but Miss
Cleveland came woll prepared for tho
spring campaign. Tho impression had
gained wide credence, somehow, that
her toilettes would bo her least worries

frowned down. Whllo she is not what
a modisto would call a stylish woman

most becoming.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
from our 'tegular Correspondent.)
Washington, April lo, 1885.
I do not think it txarieration to
say that many of tho Government oili-
cea in ashington have accomplished
more work in tho last month than was
accomplished nnv two months of the
precedW vear. I say many of thcofti-
cc, for some of them have not donol
muoti for tlio reason that tiicre is notb
ing to do. A largo number of the ofti
ccs, owing to tho negligence, idleness,
and incompetence of the clerks, are
tar behind with their work. This is es
pecially the case with tho Patent, Pen
sion, and Land offices, but within tho
last month wondciful progress has
been made, and it is probable, that tho
vexatious and unnecessary delays that
have driven applicants for patents and
pensions to despair will bo suffered no
longer.
From tho president down to his last
appointment, tho personul of the ad
ministration is capable of hard work,
and it has evidently tins object in view,
raoro than pleasure, emolument, or
fame. Tho cabinet of the new presi
dent are not men with itching palms.
They aro all men of sufficient wealth,
or men to whom their wealth is suffi
cient So it is witli tho recent bureau
appointees, a gentleman whose fortune
is not less than $150,000 was last week
appointed to an office in one of the de
partments, tho salary of which is only
S3000. Ho did not need the office,
but the office needed him.
Heretofore the staples of recommen
dation for office havo been poverty and
patriotism. "lie needs the ofnee, lie
has a largo family, and he was a good
soldier." So question as to fitness was
considered, and the civil service has
been made an elegant and lucrative
asylum for incompetent disabled sol
diers, and dishonest republican poli-

nutans. 11 it ueeuiess lu buy iuut iuib
is a perversion of the object of gov
ernment offices, which havo for their
end tho transaction of the postal, mili
tary, naval, and financial business of
the country. Tho United States pen
sion and bounty laws have paid with a
laviBhness unparalelled in history for
the service which every man owes to
his country, and it is time, this false
philanthropy and Bcntimenial states
manship of appointing men to offices
they do not need and are not compe
tent to fill, Bhould end.
There are a creat many office seek
ers in the city at present. Tho old
crowd that, came here on or about the
fourth of March is pretty well thinned
out. Soma of them linger because
they cannot borrow money to get
borne. But a new crowd has come in
the last two weeks. Their disappoint
ment and chagrin on learning the sit
uation of affairs is picturesque. All
applicants are handed a copy of the
civil service law, and a blank applica
tion for examination. The President
docs .not consider nny appointments for
small offices, and none will be made
until after tbo first of July. The now
administratiou seems more, anxious
just now to empty than to fill offices,
and each week results in the discharge
of a number of those who have been
kept on the government pay-tolls, al
though they have rendered no legiti
mate Bervice. If the discharge of this
class shall be made thorough and ex
haustive, literal millions would be sav
ed annually, and tho morale of tho ser
vice will be greatly improved.
The daily routino at tho White
House involves an immense amount of
work. And although President Cleve
land is relieved of muoli work by his
Secretary, Col. Lamont, yet a creat
quantity has to receive his personal at
tention, ihe I'reanJent is ready tor
work at eight o'clock in tho morning,
and is usually busy until midnight.
About ten o'clock he begins the peruB
al of such letters as require his special
attention. Tho great bulk of the let
ters sent to the i'residtnt marked "per
sonal" and confidential," is never seen
by hint. They are from all sorts of
people and on all sorts of subtects.
Many of them are of a character that
would seem to entitle tbo writer to a
place in a lunatic asylum. It is not
uncommon for these writers to send
ten and twenty page letters, and some
ot them enclose their photographs.
These letters are carefully culled and
placed on tho eccentric file and not
moro than a or 10 letters receive thu
special attention of tho President.
The President and the Congressman.
A Congresman who called at tho
White House had a funny little dia
logue with tho President. Tho states
man had been visiting tho Whito
Houso daily for three weeks in the in
terest of a constituent who wanted an
appointment.
"Do you Congressmen spend much
of your time at your homes when Con
gress is not in session t" the President
inquired.
"Oh, yes, 1" replied tho member, "wo
stay hero but little of thu time that
Congress is not at work."
"Nearly all of yon mon aro hero
now, aren't you V
"But few of us, comparatively."
"I receive a good many calls from
Congressmen every day" significantly-
"Do you t" with a look uf sur
prise. "Yesj I havo a 'quorum every day, if
thoy would all stay."
"Well," Btatnmorud tho member, "I
think most of us will get away pretty
soon now, as wo are about through
with out' work."
"Do you think of leaving us soon 1"
inquired th President, with earnest
ness. "1 1 was thinking of it," came the
reply, slowly and nervously.
"Woll," sighed the President, "if
there is anything that 1 can do for you
you can just address mo hero at the
White Houso. We get tho mails
promptly."
Tho inomber took tho bint, and, rib
in'', remarked that ho might leave to
night, to which tho President laid :
"You nny tell other Congressmen
that I will attend prompt'?' lo any r
quest they may mako by mail.''

The Commercial Situation
Tho markets for grain, cotton, petro
leum and stocks wero nil influenced
last week to a greater or less extent by
tho European advices in regard to the
strained relations between England
and Russia. The cable news was
watched with intense interest through
out tho United States, and the prompt
response of tho markets to peaceful or
warlike reports affords unmistakable
evidence, ot the opinion entertained
hero concerning the probable effect of
war on legitimate and speculative in
terests on this side of the Atlantic In
otlior words, it is generally conceded
that in tho event of actual hostilities
between England and Russu there
would bo a heavy export movement of
grain, a great stimulus to American
shipping and perhaps diminished ex
ports of cotton. Prices for all kinds
of grain havo already advanced sharp
ly, and the difference between tho cur
rent quotations and thoo recently in
forco represent millions of dollars to
the farmers, who for a long time have
been holding back their wheat and
corn in anticipation of higher figures.
Should the producing classes reap a
fair profit the effest would be witness
ed in an enlarged demand for all kind
of manufactured articles, and tho re
sult of this would in turn bo favorably
felt throughout the ramifications of
trade and commerce. Whatever may
be the ultimate outcome of war be
tween England and Russia, everything
favors the belief that, for tho time
being at least, nearly all American in
terests would be benefited. World.

The Winnipeg Rebellion.
The government of the Dominion of
Canada has got a real war on its bands.
At first it was supposed that tho insur
leclionarv movement of ihe half-breeds
in tho Winnipeg district was only a
local riot which could bo easily put
down by molt force as the district
could furnish. But the handful of par
tisans with which Riel commenced the
real dUturbanco has increiaed to at
least 2,000 men, who are provided with
tbo best kind of lilies in use and know
how to use tliein vith deadly precision,
This is in itself a forco that both on
account of Its number and character
and the remoteness of its location, will
tax to tho utmost the strength and re
sources of tho Canadian government.
But tho insurrectionary chief secured
tbo additional advantage of tbo co
operaio of the Indians by having
demandtd concessions for them at the
same time, that the demand was made
for rcdrens of the grievance of the
half-brio.ls.

whites having been in striking contrast
to tho nlmost constant Indlnii distur
bances In tho territories of the United
Stntcj. It was therefore reasonably
for the Canadian authorities to cupcot
that tbo aborigines would remain im
passive spectators of tbo outbreak. But
llcll's shrewd movement identifying
them with the half-breeds in tho griev
ances complained of, has won them
otcr to bts sidn in huge numbers. Ap
pearances, indicate bis" ability, with the
co-operation of tho Indians, to raise a
force of insurgents that will not fall
short of 15,000.
To put down on insurrection of -such
proportions will subject tho military
resources "f tho Dominion to a strain
that will entirely prevent tho pttrtotio
object of sending troops to help thu
mother country in tbo Soudan. Riel
with his half-breed and rod skins wilt
give tlio Canadians as muoh fighting as
they want without going abioad for it.
The origin of the disturbance may bo
traced to bad faith on tho part of thn
Dominion government in its land pol
icy. In other words, the iiiMirrection
is tho result of rascality in the form of
land grabbing. Kiel .s rebels complain
that portions of the public lauds whioli
they occupied in a regular nnd lawful
way, havo been sold to speculators in
Canada who now claim the title, and
whose purpose it is to oust them. This
is the main grievance, nlthough other
complaints enter into the misnndcr
tanding. As long as the Winnipeg
country was considered only a sort of
northern desert a wild region fit to be
occupied only by trappeis and Indians
the half-breed inhabitants were not
disturbed in the possession of tho lands
they had held for generations. But
when it was discovered to be ono of
tin.' finest wheat-raising regions in the
world, and its value became developed
by railroad facilities, the Canadian
land-grabbers camo to the determina
tion that the half-breeds must go.

England and Russia.
In answer to an inquiry as to what
England and Russia aro going to fight
about, tlio New York Sun gives the
following comprehensive explanation :
England, as every body knows, has
an immense empire in India. Russia
has of lato years been pushing her con
quests in the direction of India, and
about two years ago, when tho Rns
eians seized the oasis of Merv, and got
coutrol of tho great Turcoman deseit,
they camo right up against what has
always been regarded as one of the bul
warks of India Afghanistan, then
England became alarmed.
Look at a map of Asia and you will
seo that all along the northern edgo of
India, like a wall of defence, runs thu
gigantic chain of tho Himalayas, tbo
greatest mountains in the world. At
the northwestern corner of India this
range of mountains split up, and turn
ing toward tho southeast, spreads out
into a number of diverging ranges
which cover Afghanistan, the back
bone of the system being the colossal
Hindoo Koosh Mountains. This rug
ged country of Afghanistan, therefore,
forms a sort of natural breastwork for
India toward tho northeast, tlio direc
tion from which an invasion by Russia
would come, and bo England has for
years kept a sharp oversight of things
in Afghanistan. In the northwestern
orner of Afghanistan lies the fortified
town of Herat, which on its command
ing position lias long been known as
thu key to India. Right over against
Herat on the north, and only some 200
miles away, is thu new post ot the Rus
sians at Merv.
After the Russians had got control
of the country thus birdeiing on Af
ghanistan thu question immediate1
came up as to where the exact bounda
ries of the latter country weio. ting
land was no anxious to keep thu Rus
sians from advancing further, and so
fearful that their next step would carry
them toillerat, that sho lot no lime in
demanding that these boundaries be
definitely, settled, and a joint Commis
sion of Russians and Englishmen were
appointed to deal with the question on
the spot. This Commission has been
on the ground during tho past year,
but ha3 not readied an agreement, ine
Russians, it appears, claim a place of
territory between tho rivers Murghab
and Heri Rud, issuing from tho Af
gban mountains, tho control of which,
it is alleged, would give them com
mand of the road to Herat. Tho town
of Penjdeh, which, it is said, tho Rus
sians have just captured, lies upon this
road, and, aceordiug to English claims,
within tho edgo ot the Afghan terri
tory.
The recent negotiations between
England and India relate to thu ques
tion as to where tbo line should be run,
and what should bu regarded as de
batable ground for tlio purpose. Two
or threu weeks ago the Governments
agreed not to make any further ad
vance on either side pending thu nego
tiations that is, Russia promised not
to push her troops futtber into the de
batnbie ground, and England under
took to restrain her friends, thu Af
ghans. Thu recent baltlu bi tween the
Russians and Afghan!1. boweMJi1, -.lioivs
that ono sidn or thu other ha failu i to
keep back.
As England believes tint the sifety
of her Indian enip'nu depends upon the
keeping of the Russjansout of Afghan
istan, the world looks on to sec lit r aid
the Afghans ngaiust Uui-sia will) nil tbo
power and prestige of her aims.
