John Field, n prnmlnout merchant
of Philadelphia, Is likely to bo nppoin
tod postmaster of that oily.
A point for Amendment campaign
era is tho fnct that twenty years ago
nineteen out of every -twenty farms in
Maine wero mortgaged, while now not
more than one in twenty is so encum
bored. In 1808 about 1,800 writs of
foreclosure wore issuod, last year net
more tban five.
Ex-Proaident Cleveland and party,
which includes Messrs. Bayard, Vilas,
and Dickinson, are in Cuba at present,
arriving there on tbo 23rd.
Mr. Cleveland nnd bis companions
were welcomed on tbo wharf by the
American Consul and Vico Consul and
a largo number of other gentlemen.
The party tnok carriages and wer'
driven to the Hotel Pasaje, where an
aido in the name of the Governor Gen
eral welcomed them to tho island, Mr.
Cloveland declined the invitation of
Governor General Salamanca to mako
tho Governor General's mansion bis
homo daring his stay in Havanna.
A bill bus bcon introduced in tho
Loaislaturo to increase the salaries of
Judg-'g of tho Supremo Court to $12.
000 Jndge of Philadelphia to 810.000;
of Allegheny to .$8,000 and all others'
to $0,000. Of courso, tho representa
tives from this courtly will not voto for
this measure. Some yoars ago when
a bill was in tho House, increising the
salary of country Judges to $5,000,
the Act was opposed, on tho ground
that $4,000 was liberal pay. Two
year ago when it was proposed to re
tire Judges who had nerved two full
terms on two thirds pay, it was op
posed on the ground that they ought
to bo able to save enough- on a salary
of $4000 a year to live on after the
expiration of their term of office. If
this was right then, there certainly has
been no change in tho situation that
should induce a ohango of opinion.
Within the past thirty yoars such men
as Woodward, Wilmot, Mercur,
Conyngham, Gamble,, Pearson, Jordan,
and many others of the best legal minds
of the Btale, served on tho bench for a
time on a salary of $2000 a year.
Within the past twonty five years the
salary has been increased five hundred
dollars at a time until it finally reached
$4000. At nearly overy session of tho
Legislature efforts have been made to
increase it, but nil have failed. The
business of the country courts is on
the decrease rather than tho increase,
and tho Judiciary ot tho state is com
posed of no abler men than have served
many years at the 8 arris or a less salary
tban now. If there was no reason.for
increasing tho Judges' pay ton or twen
ty years ago to $5000 thero certainly
can bo none now for raising it to
$6000.
For our part wo havo always be
lieved, and believe now, that tbo Judges'
salaries aro inadequate. They can en
gage in no other business, tbey must
livy in a style In keeping with their
high office, and unless tboy have a
private fortune, tbey must depend upon
thg savings from their salaries for an
Income, if thoy aro kept in oQico until
age or disease overtakes them. The
salaries should be increased so that
they can save enough for tho require
menu of life in their old age. r tbey
should be retired on a salary after serv
ins? a certain number of years. Should
this proposed Aot bn passed it would
apply only to Judges eleoted hereafter,
and not to any who are now on the
bench, But if tbero is no teason why
Judges, who havo given the best years
ot their lives to lue public service,
should bo retired on a reduced saiarv,
there is no reason why younger and
less experienced men should have their
pay moreased on 3 half.
WA8HIBGT0H LETTER,
from our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, Mar. 25, 1889
President Harrison's appointment ol
uorporai" ranner to be commissioner
of Pensions is a groat 'viotory for the
nne of Washington pension sharks, all
of whom are rejoicing t their prospects
lor growing noli during lour year of
Tanner s favorable decisions, l'repara
tions are being made to fl od the
country with circulars inviting overy

ex-suiuier, muiuuing tiioau who nave
oecn ret usea pensions, to mako new
anDlioations for them.
Within fla hour after Tanner's nom
ination had beeti sent to the Sonate.
one agent here orderrd 1,000,000 circu
lam printed- and bought fifty baskets
ol obarapagne to celebrate his brilliant
victory, liouservauve people are
somewhat alarmed at tho appointment
ot Mr. tanner, who has long been
known to favor the giving of indis
criminate pensions to overy soldier
who served tbrej months in the
Union Army. Our pension list
is now nearly $1,000,000,000 a year,

largely increase that amount by deciB
ions under the present laws. Thero is
some talk of trying to defeat bis con-
tirmatlon by tho (senate, but it will
hardly bo possible, as svery Republi
can will voto for him they dare not
do otherwise.
A gentleman who is thoroughly fa
miliar with Pension oftioe practice and
also knows Mr, Tanner well, said
to-day: "The fiscal year beginning the
, first of next July will show a deficiency
in tno J'unjion appropriation of from
$10,000,000 to 50,000,000 owing to
the construction Tanner will put upon
existing laws, and its dollars to pennies
that when the estimate are made for
the fiscal year 9091 that pensions
will be put down tor at least 9200,000,
000." Great Scott! And the war was
over twenty-five years ago. AH the
poor nowspaper men wiH have to ha
come pension agents and gut rich.
That's the best thing I can think of,
The Irish element iu the Republican
party although small, has jtut shown
its power by preventing White-law
Raid's being appointed Minister to
England. lteid has set his heart on
coing to London, but ho got left, al
though he was nominated Minuter to
ranee as a compensation for lua ruf.
fled feelings.
rresident uarrieon nm issued a
proclamation opening up a portion of
Oklahoma Territory to settlement.
There is no good reason why it should
not have been issued two weeks ago.
Jnstioo Stanley Mathews of the Su
premo Court, who has been sick sinou
last summer, was on Wednesday last
reported to be convalescent. On Fri
day he died. And thon the truth oamo
out. IU family knew of his danger
Mi condition and had no hope offals
recovery, but decided to koep It from
the publio as long as possible It is
almost Impossible to get the truth
about a promtnout man who happens
to get sick in Washington. Just why
tho public should bo fooled is a ques
tion that has nover been satisfactorily
an s wo red and it would ecem to bo about
timo to stop lying in regard to such
things. Tho funeral of tho lato Justice
took placo this afternoon from tho
family residence. It was attended by
the President and Cabinet, tho Supremo
Court and tho Senate. After tho ser
vices tho remains wcro placrid on a
special Iraln and started fox Glendaln,
Ohioaccompanlcil by tbo Supreme
Court.
A lively fight is going on among tho
Rppublioaus over tho position 'if Pub
lio Printer. In order to narrow tho
lines somewhat Mr. Harrison has an
nounced that tho position 'shall go to
the West. It Is difficult to say who
will win in tbo final round which aro
now on, but tho impression is that Mr.
Mnrriditb, of Chicago, or Osbnrno,
of California, U tho comingman.
Tho negro callers at tho White
House havo been quite numerous of
late, but so far tbo President has given
the colored brother nothing at all, and
he is getting somewlmt discouraged.
Gen. Badeau is trying to prevent the
confirmation of Pfed Grant, who haa
been appointed Minister to Austria,
but thero is little prospect of his suc
ceeding. Fred Grant is not a brilliant
man by any mean', but ho, has not
openly been guilty of anything dlsgarcc
fnl, while B ideatt by bis acli'n is
suing the wife of tho man who raised
him from abject poverty to atlluence
and kept him up for years, forfeited
the reepfct of bonorablo men.
The Sonators are growing restless
about tho adjournment, and it is not
likely that they will remain longer
than April 5th, as that is about tho
time set for several of tho junketing
committees to get started on their ex
cursions. All the clerks in the First Assistant
Po'tmaater-Genoral's office aro working
throe hours a day extra time owing to
the iuimenso number of applications
for the fourth class pest-offices whioh
are pouring in.
John C. Now, tho man who helped
to steal Indiana, has gotten the beet

Beak Sirs : Somo lime ago in look
ing over your paper I saw that
your columns wero open for discussion
pro and con on prohibition. I see that
some silly articles have been written
favoring the amendment. I also see
that the preachers are largely in f.ivor
of tho amendment, and are preaohing
it from the pulpits almost ovory Lords
day. What is prohibition T Surely it
must be something of more importance
thau the gospel, if not why do preach
ers preach it instead of the word of
God. Paul the great Apoatle of the
Gentiles said : Woe is me if I preach
nut tno gospel, lie did not, say, woo
h me iff preach not prohibition. When
John the forerunner came to Judea to
prepare a people for tbo Lord he came
neither eating nor drinking, and they
say he hath a devil. Jesus the Son of
the living God camo both eating and
drinking and they pay, i'Behold a man
gluttenous and a wine bibber.1' The
wicked Jews charged Jesus of being a
wine bibber because bo drank wine.
Jesus was tempted in all points as we,
yet without sin. Jesus was tempted
in all things, through all bis minister
ial wanderings through Judea and Pal
i stiue where wine was served at every
meal on the table. Tho Great
Law Giver said nothing about prohi
bition but taught the people to use
those things as not abasing them. Also
at the marriage foait iu Cana of Gal
ileo after the ruler and the guests had
drank all the wine that was prepared
lor tno iea-a Jesus torn tnera to nil tit
certain vesiols with water which they
a d, ana no ny ins miraculous power
convened it into wine and told them
to bear it to the ruler of the feast and
he prouoaoced it the best wino at tho
last of the feast. Now supposo there
was a feast in Columbia county, and
one, ot our worthy divine was present
ani tne wine snouia lail and be was
called ou to supply mco what would
ho say. No, sir, I am a prohibition,
it l had my way you shou,d not have
a drop, I consider you have bad too
much already. How does that corres
pond with the works and doings of the
ureal leacner tney protess to follow,
Instead of trying to do away with
temptations tbey should teach the peo
plu to legist temptation. Wo were not
put here on flowery beds of Case. This
is a preparatory life to try us and see
li we are nt iur ueaven or not.
When Adam and Eve were placed
in the Garden of Eden thoy wero told
by their maker that they had full ac
cess to all the fruits of the earden but
one, that they were forbidden to eat.
Almost universal sway, but one law to
obey and the violation of thai law was
death. Did tbey oboy it 7 Nay ver
lly. they transgressed and were driven
from that lovely garden and tbo Dros
eucu of tbo Lord, to earn their bread by
the sweat of their faoe. God places
uie anu ueatn oeiore them and tbey
chose death rather than life. Who is
to blamo t Tho words of Eternal L!f
says tho soul that sicneth it shall die.
The Aposlle Paul speaking by inspira
tion to ins son in the gospel "timothy
says : Drink no longer water but a
little wine for thy stomachs sake and
thy oft infirmities. Now the spirit
speaicing tnrougu raul was tilting him
tor in o ministry. The mira
culous power of tho Holy
spirit was to cease wun tno Apoallis.
Now Timothy was to learn what the
pint said through those samo Apost
les so that they would all spoak tho
same things and lightly divido the
word of truth. Thero is ono thing
ceriainiuniiiiie i k ly spin: is not for pro
hibltion iu tba" feme that our modern
reformers are. Thoy say abolish it. from
the citato and nation. Mowhoro does

' drunkenness throughout tho states than
before. Another roason why I will
not voto for tbo amondmuut is, it is un
constitutional because it deprives tno
ot my personal liberty, No man has a
right iu tliia ' Land of tho free and
homr. of the bravo'' to say what I
Bhall drink, oat, or wear. I am an
American citizen and am proud of the
title, but when I bear thoso intemper
ate prohibitionists say that tho ions ol
old Pcnna. aro not capable of govern
ing their nppcttles that they must pass
prohibitory laws to make men of them,
then Indeed do I ulnah for this 'genera
tion. Better for us had we been rear
ed under despotism than to surrender
our liberties after having tasted of tho
swcot fruits of freedom. I warn my
countrymen to beware how tbey sur
render up their liberties Httlo by littlo
and they aro gouo nover to return, ex
cept by a dash of arms. God knows
that wo havo, had sacrifioo enough up
on tho altar of freedom to last for gen
oiations to oomo if wo but olosely
guard the liberty that' is intrusted to
us, but if wo prove recreant to our
trust nnd v oto this right and that pri
vilege away how long will it be before
wo become tho hireling aud serfs of the
lords and aristocrats of this country.
Tho way I K-ok at this llqiwr question
is 1 1 1 If-1 tho men that advooitu prohibi
tion aro nt tbo one extremo and are in
temperate and the men that got drunk
occupy tho opposite extremo, neither
one are temperate, tbo only true tem
perance aro -thoxe that occupy tho mid
dle ground, using it w-lh moderation
aud decency. For proof that I am
right, what is the definition of temper
mice? Modoralo indulgence of the ap
petite, moderate, sober.
Hoping to hear from others on tho
subject I remain Yours Truly,

Hartranfl's first regiment) celebrated
tho twenty fourth anniversary of the
battle of Fort Steadman, in which the
regiment tnok a prominent part, by
lnvding its first reunion.
Tho slO'CH and business places were
decorated with flags and buntings and
a halfhnliday was given to many clerks
and mechanics in honor of the event.

Ebensburg, Blnomsburg, Kayne.
Huntington, Laporte, Benton and
Williamsporr, and by noon the oity
was crowded with Urand Army veter
ans, sons of veterans, and Jho Patriotio
Urder bono of America.
A parade of Grand Army posts and
Sons of Veterans and Company G of
tho National Guard was formed and
was moving through the streets when
Ex-Governor Hartranft arrived from
Harrisburg. He was met at the train
by Judge Sadler, Mayor Cornrnan,

R. A. Pratt, Captain John B. Landis
and Col. J. R. Diokson, who conducted
h m to a stand whero the party viewed

BpOnse,
Mr. President and fellow comrade?;
"The tributo of honor and sentiment
of ptais9 which you havo-een fit to
bestow upon us -awakens in our hearts
leelings of the most profound gratitude,
and the present occasion with all its
manifestations of true and patriotio re
gard for the soldiers of the 209 h
Regiment will " no doubt be borne iu
our minds undimmed forevei.
Twenty-four years ago on the fifth
dy of last September we were organ
ized and on the 16th of tHcsamo month
we were mustered into the service of
the Unit' d States for the protection of
our Na'ional Emblem and tho defence
ot our common country. To-day wo
are reunited to commemorate the' liven
wn then spent in the camp, upon the
ma'cn and on thn held ot battle, many
inciueniH migrit do reiatea or tun sacri
fices we made and the hardships w
e idnred but by this social greeting and
happy welcome they seem to be en
veloped in the mWu of forgetfulness
and in the marqh of time we seem to
be reminded that in twenty-four years
nence we snail be mustered ln'o the
Celestial Service in which we will have
no honor to maintain, no country to
rescue ana no sacrifice ot lte, but a
service which wo trust will afford us
eternal peace and happiness,
An address was made by General
Hartranft, explaining, among other
things, thn movements of the troops in
the capture of Fort steadman. Lieu
tenant Col. Fredericks followed with
very appropriate remarks.
Many letters of regret wero read
among whioh tho following was the
most interesting.

COUNTIES IN THIS STATE WHOSE STREAMS
HAVE BEEN STOCKED WITH TROUT.
Now that spring is opening up tho
sportsmen and fishermen are throwing
on ine letnargy ot old winter and com
mencing to brighten np tho various
implements of the chase. Visions of
full bags of game and large hauls of
fish are floating before their eyes. To
the fisherman the main point is where
is the best plaoo to cast the fly. With
a view of aiding the disciple of Isaac
Walton in bis search for the speckled
beauties a careful list of the places in
various onuntibs that have been stocked
with trout, the gamiest of all game fish
has been compiled and is given below.
These fish were distributed in the va
rious streams near the places named in
1885. According to the law's of the
state no fishing for thhi particular fish
was allowed for three years. The pro
scribed timo ib now up, and having
had three vears of rest from the temp
tations usually set for them, the streams
are now abounding with the beantiea,
waiting only until the season of 1889
opens for tho skillful angler to cast his
fly on the waters. The place in ques
