A rumor is afloat to the effect that

A Fortune for a Working Man.
Skmnsorove, June 2. Considerable
excitement prevails hero over a stor
that 8100.000 havo been deposited witl
tho United States Treasurer in favor of
a man by tho namo of Jacob Strioklcr,
of Sclinsgrovo. It is not Strickland,
but Jacob Striokler, who is meant. Ho
is employed at tho depot of tho Sun
bury and Lowistown division of tho
Pennsylvania Railroad. Mr. Stricklcr
received a letter a few years ago from
Peter Smith, of England, stating that
this amount had been doposltcd in his
favor. Tbo so-vices of Congressman
L. E. Atkinson, cx Qovernor pollock
and an attorney a Washington

Vilas' Idea Hot Sweeping Enough.
From the Boston (Hob, IVnv
"Turn tho rascals out" expresses tho
Bcntimont of tho vast majority of tho
Iicoplo and it ia that sentiment which
'ostmastcr GeMcral Vilas heeds in his
letter. Wherever ho finds a postmaster
who has abused his trust ho proposes
to roruovo him and substitute a man
who will attend to duty not to tho
manipulation of conventions, caucuses
and wires. Tho only fault to bo found,
if any, is that ho proposes to draw tho
Mac rather too mildly. His idea seems
to bo that from one sixth to ono-quatt-er
of tho postmasters havo been offen
sive partisans. Is it not well known
to almost any reader in tho circlo of
towns in whioh ho is acquainted one
half at least of all tho postmasters have
been rnoro activo in attending to tho
workings of party machinery than to
t'10 duties of ofllco T Wo believe thoso
who will consider for a moment will
ag.-eo with us that tho Postmaster Gen

A Small Wheat Crop.
A. COMPLETE SURVEY 8HOW1NO THAT IT
WILT. BE THE WORST FOR TEN YEARS.
Tho Farmers lievieio of Chicago
has mado a complete survey of all tno
Western and Southern wheat-growing
States. "Tho gloomiest views advan
ced concerning tho winter wheat out
look for 188.5. it says, "must now bo
accepted as the most accurate. Tho
absolute uniformity of tho returns in
dicate that tho outlook this year is the
worst in ten years and it may bo set
down as positive that under the most
favoring conditions tho total winter
and spring wheat yield to fall consid
erably under tho short crop of 1881,
whon tho total product was 380.000,
000 bushels." Tho Jieview estimates
tho winter wheat yield at about 200,-
000,000 bushels and tho absolute per
centages from tho most trustworthy
souoes indicate that the yield will fall
somewhat under than over theso fig
ures. Tho probablo spring wheat yield,
based upon continuing favorable wealh
cr.will bo 130,000,000 bushels. Tho
total wheat crop of the country, there-
tore, trom tho present outlook, win bo
frora320,000,000 to 330,000,000 bush
ols, against an average yield for the
past fivo years of 404,000,000 bushels.
HO APPORTIONMENT.
Tho Governor has vetoed tho con
gressional and legislative apportion
ment bills, and there is no prospect of
the logislaturo passing any others at
this sesrion. This was tho intention
of tho republican majority. When
there was a democratic house two yoars
ago tho senate adopted its ultimatum
and said that no apportionment Bhould
be made unless they could bo permitted
to dicta.o its terms. A auartcr-million
of dollars of tho peoples' money was
spent in timo wasted at tho extra sess
ion through the obstinacy and unfair
ness of a republican senate. Now
both brauches of the legislature are
republican, and four months have slip
ped away before any appportionment
bills aro passed. And theso aro wil
fully shaped in such a manner that it
was certainly known before their pass
age that the governor would veto them
on account of their unconstitution
ality. The constitution reauires that the
tato shall be apportioned at the next
session after eaoh decounial census.
he census was taken in 1880. aud
there have been three sessions of the
legislature, but the constitution has
jeen ignored, and it is the evident in
tention of the republicau party to pro
vent a compliance with its Drovisioni.
The reasons assigned by tho governor
for his vetoes aro unanswerable, and
put tho responsibility for tho failuro
just wherd it belong's. He has per
formed bis duty in this matter laith
fully, but as much cannot bo said for
the legislature.

In the inside pocket of the coat wero

A Mugwump Revolt.
Thero are surface indications among
the Hopnblicans of opposition to tho
cool manner in which Messrs. Quay
and Magee propose to make tho Stato
Treasurer contest a question of person
al interest as between themsolves. Al
though such an nrrangement, as carry'
ing out tho prinoiplo of boss rule, is in
conformity to tho habits and traditions
of tho party, and is regarded by tho
rank and filo as within tho natural or
der of things, yet thero i is being devel
oped a displeasure on tho part of oth
er party leaders who object to the
State Treasurorship being mado a per
sonal issue between tho two prominent
bosses ot tho party. Therefore wo hear
of a Senatorial cauous with a purposo
in regard to a candidalo entirely differ
ent trom that ot cither iioss uuay or
Boss Magee; and encouraged by this
initial movement in opposition to boss
rulo, somo' of tho Pittsburg leaders aro
venturing upon tho expression of an
opinion of their own on the Stato Tieas-
urer question.
But there has been kioking of this
kind before without disconcerting thd
plans of tho ono or two managers who
arrango tho party programme. Tho
malcontents who aro talking about
Longneoker for Stato Treasurer, or
who may suggest sonio other candidate,
will be rcgardod by tbo dyed in the-
wool p. o. p. adherents as only a set of
mugwumps who can break down tho
good old Republican custom of having
tho party ruled by bosses and worked
by a machine. When tho convention
meets it will bo found that every ves
tige of mugwumpian contumacy has
disappeared. Tho contest for Treasur

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our Regular correspondent.)
Washington, Juno 1, 1885,
This morning I thought I wou'd
take a birds-eyo view of Washington
in her summer dress, and instead of
writing you a political news letter, tell
you something about how the Capital
of your country looks on tho first of
Juno after a week of rain. I am writ
ing from tho ton of tho. Washington
Monument, at an clovntion of 500 feet.
Tho city is spread out below mo liko a
chess board in which tho church spires
aro bishops, tho equestrian statues,
knights, the huge department build-
; i i j. . i
iuira cusiil-b, ui hi iuu naiuces ui mil
lionaire senators but 1 have stretched
this poor similo far enough. Tho pie
vailing color is greeny Lafayetto Par.'r,
Franklin nnd Judiciary squares, the
extensivo lawns of tho White House,
tho Smithsonian and Agricultural
grounds havo a bright emerald fresh
ness. Tho many thousands of trees
that now reaoh tho house tops givo tho
appearance ot a city planted in a
young forest. From this height ono
can get a much better general view of
tno improvements that aro in progress,
tuan by driving over tho city. Iho vi
siblo public improvements aroconlined
mainly to tho Potomac (lata the Pension
Oilice.tlio new Stato Department and tho
Capitol. It has long beon an objec
tion to tho Uapitol that it was squatty
or stumpy in its architecture, and that
tho domo was entirely too high and
imposing for such a Hat pilo of build
ings as aro tho Houso and Senate
wings. To build the Capitol over
again whon it has already cost about
$15,000,000 wos too extravagant an
undertaking even for this country. To
build tho Scnato and Houso wings
higher was not desirable, for taken by
themselves they aro architcoturally pur
feet both iu proportion and in detail.
So, instead of building tho Capitol
higher it has been decided to increase
its hoight by building it lower 1 Tho
vest front of tho Capitol is surround
ed by a sodded terrace. This is to bo
removed and a white marblo lower
story is to bo added to it. Tho work
bas been begun and its effect may bo
judged now. It will add greatly to
tbo hoighth of tho Capitol, and thus
decrease tho relative height! of tho
dome, taking away tho unpleasant np-
pearauoo oi disproportion.
Tho vast now park that has been
mado by dredging tho bottom of the
Potomao and depositing tho mud on
tho bordering swamps may bo seen iu
outline from tho monument. Two or
threo years will elapse beforo tho work
can bo completed, and it will ndd sev
eral hundred noreti to tho mibliogiounds
of tho Capitol, whioh when improved
by tho art of tho laudscapo gardoiier
will increase no little tho nttraotiveness
of iU environs.
The now pension building will soon !
be (iu'uhod and occupied by Pensio.i
Commissioner, Gen, Black and his
nrmy of clerks. It will bo tho most
commodious nnd most convenient of
tho dopartracnt buildings of Washing
ton. Tho ventilation will bo perfect,
for ovory irb'ora will havo windows on
opposlto sides communicating with tho
outsldo nir,
Apropos of the public buildings and
improvements of tho national Capitol,
it has been said that tho Democratic
party was not favorablo to them, nnd
that tho wonderful progress of tho
city would now como ,to n standstill.
It should bo remembered however,
that nearly all tho solid architectural
improvement of Iho city was begun
and accomplished under democratic
auspices, nnd beforo tho Republicans
oamo into power. Tho Capitol, tho
Post Olllco Department, tho Patent
Ofllco, and tho U S. Treasury wero
built before tho presidency of Araham
Lincoln. Tho Republicans have, with
a great outlay of publio funds mado
new streets nnd parks and erected
bronzo equestrian stntucs to many gen
erals of tho lato war. But what thoy
havo dono will not comparo in useful
ness, solidity; or endumnco with what
the Democrats did beforo them. Thoso
who aro most interested havo faith in
Democratic patriotism and national
spirit. Real estato owners aro asking
and getting moro for their grounds
than at nny previous timo in tho his
tory of tho city.
Tho tenacity with which republican
officials cling to ofllco is something re
markable. A story is told in tho
Washington Capital of one of tho
heads of division whoso resignation
was asked for last week, and who went
on Friday to sco Secretary Manning,
with a view of getting some mitigation
of his sentunce. He was received with
muoh kindnoss by tho Secretary who
asked him if ho had not all along an
ticipated removal when a Democratic
Administration should come iu.
"I really cannot sec,'' said tho Secre
tary, "how could you expect anything
else."
Tbo Republican ollleial demurred to
tbis, and said that ho had faithfully
performed his duties, was not a poli
tician, nnd no ono had complained of
turn.
"Well now as to that,'' said the
Secretary," I will let you bo your own
judgo yourself. Hero are a pilo of let
ters which I havo received from peo
ple in your district. Read them over
and let me know if you think a Demo
cratic Secretary ought to bo blamed for
asking you to give way for a Demo
crat.'' The ex-bureau chief read over the
letters with amazement. Ho was pro
nounced by tho write.'d to be red hot
in his politics, and a frequent corres
pondent of Republican nowspapcrs,
extracts from his letters being append
ed, ff is journeys home at election
timo were noted, reports of.his speeches
at town meetings wero givon, and his
immcdiato removal was demanded as
the only thing that would pacify his
Democratic neighbors When sho had
got through with tho batch of letters
ho handed them back to the Secretary.
"I haven't another word to say,''
said he. "If.I were in your place I
would do just as you do. I am sorry I
troubled 'you. I am an offensive par
tisan, but i in blcsied if I know it un
til now.
Editor Ohase Goes to Jail,
HE PREFERS IMPRISONMENT TO APOI.O
OIZ1NO FOR HIS L1UEL OF W.
W. SCRANTON.
Scranton, Juno 1. A. A. Chase,
editor of tho Scranton Times, walked
trom tho Uourthouso to tho County
Jail this afternoon, in custody of the
Sheriff, to serve sixty days, aud to
night s issue of his paper says that dur
ing that period ho will edit it from his
cell. This is tho result of libel prose
cution began against Mr. Chaso a few
years ago by W. W. Scranton, presi
dent of tbo Scranton Steel Company,
who felt aggrieved nt tho way tho
Scranton Times criticised his conduct
during'tho labor troublo of 1877.
bcrantou was general manager of
tho Lackawanna Iron and Coal Com
pany at tho timo of tho strike, and
shortly afterward ho sued Chase for
criminal libel and also for civil dam
ages. Verdicts were given against
Lhaso in both cases. Ho served his
term of imprisonment for tho criminal
suit, and was afterwards discharged
undertho insolvent aet from payment
of the" civil damages, amounting to
about $1100. Mr. Scranton carried
tho case to tho Supremo Court, whero
it was decided that the court below
had erred iu discharging Chase until
ho had complied with the civil verdict
either by paying tho damages or serv
ing sixty days in piisou.
l lie case was accordingly sent back
andcauio before Judgo Archbald to
day. Mr. Akerly, counsel for Chase,
moved for the discbargo of his client
as an insolvent debtor, but the motion
was overruled, and accordinaly Chase
surrendered himself to the sheriff. It is
understood that Sercnton was more
anxious for an apology from Chaso
than to send him to prison, but Chase
preferred going to jail.

unpatriotic action of tho Governor and
thoso members of tho Legislature who
sustained tho veto, and condemna
tion of tho Governor's "audacity'' in
vetoing tho "Soldiers and Sailors indi
gent burial bill." As a citizen of tho
estate I have a right in opinion as well
as tho G. A. II. but will neither con
demn tho Governor s action, nor the
Legislature bill. It is very evident
that somo ono hns blundered, either the
Governor, or tho -'noblo six hundred."
But can tho G. A. R. or any other
f lir-minded citizen tell which t In tho
event of a righteous and palriotio law,
the Governor will, and should receive
universal condemnation. On the other
hand tho Legislature will, and should
receive it. Only or.o or tho other is
responsible for tho weal or woo of the
above named bill. Tho Governor's
veto messago seemed so reasonable and
convincing to a fair-minded citizen tbat
ho could not havo been actuated by
any selfish motive, or, partisan purpose,
but for tho patriotic protection of tax
paying citizens of tho various counties
of tho commonwealth. On tho other
hand tho Legislature, by an almost
unanimous voto passed the bill, the
Governr's objections notwithstanding,
which bill also seems to purport pat
riotic designs. And which leaves tbo
a blot upon the Governor, or, upon the
Legislature. If tho bill is n nonparti
san and pjtriotio one, and which the
people iu f uturo heartily endorse, then
the legislature havo tho cntiro credit,
and tho Governor will havo no sharo of
its praiseworthy fruits. If on tho other
hand the law Bhould becomo burthen
some and obnoxious to tho lax paying
citizens of tho different counties, as in
tho Governor's judgment it seemed it
would, then tho Governor was right,
and bo one must receive the plau
dit of "well dono good nnd faithful ser
vant." Wo will condemn neither ono
now, but will refrain judgment un"l
that timo. It is always host to hasten
slowly. Yonis,
