All communications should bo addressed to TUB COLUMBIAN, Bloomsburg, Pa. FRIDAY, MARCH 3, 1893. A special dispatch to the Philadel phia I'reaa dated Scranton February 3 7th says that Senator Herring, of Bloomsburg, will be the new Internal Revenue collector for the Twelfth District, to succeed T. P. Penman of Scranton. Attorney General W. U. Ilensel was appointed aid-de camp to Martin T. McMahon, Grand Marshall of the inaugural parade and also as a mem ber of the special committee to re ceive Cleveland. He was also appoint' ed a member of the reception commit' tee of the inaugural ball. The name of Rev. Dr. N. C. Schaef fer principal of the Kutztown Norma! School is mentioned as the probable successor to Dr. D. J. Waller as Sup erintendent of Public Instruction. Dr, Schaeffer is a graduate of Franklin and Marshall College, and took a special course in the German University at Berlin. Representative John Cessna, of Bedford county, has introduced in the State Legislature a resolution propos ing amendments to the State Cons titution. . The measure abolishes spring elections, and provides for bien nial instead of annual fall election It is designed to lessen the cost of many State, county, borough and township officers. " National Chairman Harrity realiz ing the necessity of immediate action in reference to the Silver Question, has written to the newly elected members of the next Congress asking for an expression of opinion. His motive is for the welfare and advance ment of the democratic party by do ing that which will best promote the interests of the entire country. Ex-Justice Christopher F. Heydrick, of Franklin, has been appointed a just ice of the state supreme court by Gov ernor Pattison to fill the vacancy creat ed by the resignation of Chief Justice Paxson. Judge Heydrick was elevat ed to the supreme bench one year ago to succeed the late Judge Clark, and served until relieved by Judg; Dean, of Blair, by whom he was defeated for election. He will serve only until January 1st next unless renominated and elected. President-elect Cleveland has se. lected as private secretary Henry T, Thurber of Detroit, Michigan. Mr. Thurber is a law partner of Don M. Dickson, and has been associated with him for about 18 years. It was through the influence of Mr. Dickson that Thurber was appointed, 1 he selection is a disappointment to Mr. O'Brien of New York, who has been acting as Cleveland's private secretary tor some time The Democratic party Convention of Northumberland county will be held at Sunbury Monday, June 5th, the primary election the Saturday pre ceding. A candidate for Prothono- tary, Treasurer, two for county Com missioners and two county Auditors will be named. Already three candi . . .. . aaies nave announced their names, as being ready to shoulder the re sponsibilities of the office of Treasurer and Commissioners. The next three months will probably swell the list enormously. , The Towanda Republican, a paper cf the strictest party sect cannot swal low the proceedings of the Republi can legislature of this State in the Higby-Andrews contest case. It says: "The committee in the contested elec tion case of Higby vs. Andrews, is ap parantly unnecessarily prolonging the investigation. The case should have been determined promptly upon prin ciples of justice, instead of delaying it on an apparant design of finding a technical pretext tor doing injustice to Mr. Higby and giving the seat to Mr. Andrews to which he was not elected. The Republican majority of the House at Harrisburg will jeopar dize party success in the next fall's State election if they shut their eyes to the fact that the party rank and tile of the State will not condone their submission to the machinations of the ;nachine politicians who stand around the ex-chairman who led the party to humilating defeat in the Delama'.er campaign. Justice is on the side of Mr. Higby, and there should be no Hesitation in awarding it without de )y, and yet Mr. Andrews is technical -y occupying the seat that belongs of right to Mr. Higby." Wyoming Democrat. , fit I WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, February 27. 1893. "President Cleveland," said a demo cratic Senator who was opposed to Mr. Cleveland's nomination, and who is for that reason called by those who know no better an anti -Cleveland man, "never did a wiser thing than when he smashed precedent, which at times binds us all too closely, and announced his cabinet in advance of his inauguration. That must now be evident to even the most careless observer of things political, as reflect ed in Congress. The opposition which invariably lollows the announce ment of a new cabinet has been given time to work itself out, and the result will be that the new administration will start out with the party which placed it in power 111 an unusually harmonious condition, and although mere wu bo quite a number of in dividual disappointments as the dis triuution ot patronage proceeds, I see nothing ahead that leads me to be heve that this harmony will be seriously distuibed during Mr. Cleveland's administration. This Senator declined to allow the use of his name because he has no desire to be accused of giving President Cleve land "taffy," or of having his words construed into a bid for public pap. The ratification of tho Hawaiian annexation treaty is now considered doubtful, so doubtful that Mr. Harri son's friends in the Senate are afraid to have it voted upon, lest it be re jected. The democrats, while not all opposed to annexation, are almost to a man opposed to ratifying this treaty at this time. Senator Morgan, of Alabama, is the only democratic Senator who has made a speech in favor of immediate annexation, an his duties as one of the Behri-ig Sea arbitrators have called him to Paris. It is the general belief that no vote will be taken upon the treaty at this session. In that case President Cleveland may withdraw the treaty and direct that a new one be negotiat ed, if he favors annexation, or he may send a message to the Senate recom mending the ratification of the present treaty.if it meets his approval If Mr. Cleveland wishes it the treaty will be acted upon by the Senate when it meets in extra session to act upon Lis nominations, etc. A fight is now on in the House, the result of which may be to force an early extra session of Congress. It is being waged by the silver men against the Sherman bond amendment to the Sundry Civil bill, which the silver men are determined to defeat by fili bustering or any other means at their disposal. If they succeed an extra session will have to be called. Secretary Foster admitted to the House Ways and Means committee, before which he appeared Saturday. that his recent estimates of Treasury receipts for the coming fiscal year were already proven to have been too high, and that his estimates of ex- enditures were at least S8.000.000 loo low, and that he now regards a de ficit for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1804, as a certainty, unless means are devised to raise additional money, either by taxation or the issue of bonds. His estimates are, of course, based upon the present tariff laws, which are needless to say will be con siderably changed before July 1, 1894, unless the democratic administration and Congresa undergo a great change of mind on the subject, which is not probable. Occupants of houses along the line of the inaugural parade and builders of the street stands are all figuring on making a pile of money out of those who wish choice position from which to view the great parade. Rooms are held as high as $300 each, single windows at which four people may be had from $15 to $35, according to location. Front seats in the street stands are held at $5 each, and no sort of a back seat on them can be engaged at less than $1. each. Rooms in hotels cannot be had at any price and cots in private residences are rated at $1 each. Everybody is wishing for a "Cleveland day", which means a clear, pleasant day, but no sort of a day can effect the en thusiasm of the occasion. Mr. Harrison is now willing that bonds shall be issued to increase the gold balance in the Treasury, provid ed that Secretary Carlisle wiil assume the responsibility by requesting Secretary Foster to issue them. The bonds have been engraved and can be issued at a day s notice, but there is no probability that Secretary Carlisle will take any such responsibility before he becomes Secretary of the 1 reasury, and the making of such suggestion by Mr. Harrison was nothing more nor less than pleading the baby act. Prominent among the bills that will remain unacted upon at the close of the session will be the Nicaragua Canal bill. The Prohibition Organ. 7 he Vemrte, the official State organ of the Prohibition party, has changed hands and undergone a complete trans formation. Its publication office is now at Milton, and it has been enlarg ed to eight pages. Among its editor, ial contributors are Hon. James Black, of Lancaster : Prof. H. D. Patton, S. W. Murray, President of the Milton Car Company : A. A. Stevens, Esq., of Tyrone; H. T. Ames and Agib Ricketts. Tho Cabinet. The following is a lit of Cabinet officers President Cleveland has select ed: Secretary of State Walter (J Gres ham, of Illinois. Secretary of the Treasury John G. Carlisle, of Kentucky. Secretary of War Daniel S. La mont, of New York. Secretary of the Navy Hillary A. Herbert, of Alabama. Secretary of the Interior iloloj Srrith, of Georgia. Postmaster General Wilson S. Bisse l, of New York. Attorney General Richard Olney, of Massachusetts. Secretary of Agriculture J. Ster ling Morton, ot Nebraska. The first meeting of the Cabinet tn informal one) was held l.nt Sat urday morning at the Lakcwood cot- tage-.ive 01 me number were present. Another informal meeting will be held Friday evening just previous to the inauguration. OUB FORESTS. J. Sterling Morton, of Nebraska, whom Cleveland has selected as Sec retary of Agriculture, is the father of "Arbor Day. He has given the sub ject of the destruction of our forests a great deal of attention, and we can look for some special laws in reference to tree planting. In speaking of the matter a few days ago he said : "Every day that passes sees the tim ber-producing land of this country re ducea by 20,000 acres. Over 1,000 acres per hour are denuded by the woodsman's axe and the whirring saw There are but 40,000,000 acres of timber-land left in this country, and at this rate of destruction the trees will last but a generation. The most im portant matter that will occupy my at tention when I formally enter the cab inet will be the preparation of national forestry laws to lie presented through some kindly congressman to con gress." The question has been agitated for some time but the republicans failed to act. It will now receive proper at tention during the Cleveland Adminis tration. An Extra Session of the Senate Called for the Fourth of March. Washington, February 35. The following proclamation was issued by President Harrison this afternoon : "Whereas public interests require that the Senate should be convened at 1 3 o'clock on the jth day of March next, to receive such communications as may be made by the Executive : "Now, therefore, I, Benjamin Harri son, President of the United States, do hereby proclaim and declare that an extraordinary occasion requires the Senate ot the United otates to convene at the Capitol in the city of Washing ton on the 4th day of March next, at 1 3 o clock noon, of winch all persons who shall at that time be entitled to act as members of that body aie here by required to take notice. "Given under mv hand and the sc.il of the United States at Washington this 25th day of February, in the year of our Lord one thousand, eight run. dred and ninety three, and of the In dependence of the United States of nienca the one hundred and seven teenth. "Benj. Harrison. "By the President. "William F. Wharton, Acting Sec retary of State." 1 his is the usual course pursued at the out-going of each administration, to enable the Senate to "advise and consent" to the Cabinet selected by the incoming President. It is also customary at the same session to send in the names of Ministers selected for the most important foreign posts and other leading offices at home. Presi dent Cleveland's proclamation, issued under similar conditions four years ago, was dated February 26, and the proclamation of to day follows that document closely. EOOKAFELLOW FAILTJBE. An approximate statement relative to the failure of Rockafellow the bank er at WilkesBarre is given as follows: ASSEST3. Good - v $ 37,737.13 Doubtful 8.m6.7 Worthless 271467,59 IJabilities.

Nothing is known as to what became of the $400,000 loss, except that it is gone and nothing to show for it. Rockafellow has been confined to his bed since the failure. His physician considers him insane. A Commission in lunacy may be ap pointed to consider the subject of hav ing him placed in theAsylum at Dan vile. Bad complexion indicates nn un healthy state of the system. DeWitl's Little Early Risers are pills that will correct this condition. They act on the liver, they act on the stomach, they act on the bowels. W. S. Rish ton, Druggist. xo-14-iyr. MS. HAEKITY AND THE SILVER QUESTION. There has been an effort made on the part of some newspaper men, who arc jealous of Mr. Harrity's success, to attempt to create an ill-feeling be tween he and President Cleveland, because Mr. Harrity saw fit on ac count of his position as National Chairman to address a confidential letter to the members of the Demo cratic National Committee and to Chairmen of the State Committees asking for an expression of opinion as to the position taken by the various Congressmen upon the silver question. It is a grave question that must be early met by the democratic party, and it was only with a friendly feeling for the welfare of the party and the country that he addressed the circu lar. The criticisms made by these enemies, is soon stripped of its colors, and the naked facts of personal spleen exhibited. I hey have proven a boomerang and Mr. Harrity still re tains his confidence with President Cleveland. Newspapers that are con stantly prodding the democratic lead ers ought to be relegated to the back ground, until they learn what to do for the best interest of the party. On Saturday March 4th President Harrison and President electCleveland will ride in a carriage from the While House to the Capitol and return. On the journey to the Capitol, Harrison will occupy the right, and on their re turn the left side of the carriage. This custom of courtesy was begun by President Arthur when Cleveland was inaugurated eight years ago, and Cleveland extended the same courtesy to Hanson in 1889. The last ex pression of hatred between two presidents was that of Grant and Johnson -neither would ride with the other. The other case of extreme dis like was that of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson in 1801. Adams fled from the Executive Mansion in the eaily morning train of March 4th to avoid extending any courtesies to Jefferson. In 1S19 between John tjuincy Adams and Andrew Jackson there was no official courtesy shown, tlthoujh there was not the same marked hatred as shown in the other three instances. A bill will soon be introduced in the Senate providing for the appoint ment of a commission who shall de cide upon the granting of licenses. Thus taking the matter out of the hands of our several judges. The Hawaiian Problem. STRONG REASONS AG VI NUT TlO'.f. annexa- From Harper's Weekly. To stimulate our greed we are told that unless we take Hawaii, England will take it. Nothing could be more absurd. Our very refusal to take it will imv.ensely strengthen our moral authority 111 objecting to anybody else's taking it. We are told that uir possession of Hawaii would give us great commercial advantages. Grant ed. IjIU can we not secure those commercial advantages by some other arrangements than the annexation of a distant land and a mongrel people, which, such as they are, nobody thinks of receiving into the Union as a self governing State, equal t the other Stale;; which, as a far away depend ency, would have to be ruled by a proconsul a strange and dangerous anomaly i;i our political sytsem, an in exhaustible source of tyranny, pro fligacy, and corruption, the beginning of a radical change in our free in stitution? Would not this be paying too high a price for the possession of the islands? Cannot the commercial advantages be had cheaper? We are told that the Hawaiian Islands would be a splendid station for our navy, and give it great facilities in those im portant waters. Grant .-d. But is it not worth while to consider that if we get such outlying posts for our navy, we must build a navy large enough to protect the outlying posts? and that, while we are unassailably strong in our continental home, every far-away possession will be a vjlnerable point, an element of weakness? The breaking up of the winter is the signal for the breaking up of the system. Nature is opening up the pores and throwing off refuse. De Witts's Sarsaparilla is of unquestionable assistance in this opeiation. W. S. Rishton, Druggist. 10-14-iyr. A Netdcd Reform. There has much been said of late on the subject of a reform in the Pen sion laws so as to weed out the frauds from the deserving pensioners. With out discussing this feature, there should be a reform in the manner of paying pensions to confirmed drunkards, so their wives and children can secure a share of the money. We are led to make these remarks from noticing after each pension pay day, some of this class recklessly dissipating until their money is all wasted in the sa loons, while their families are driven to suffering and want. The' law should be amended so ns to secure the wife and children of this class a por tion of the pension money. As it is, iu many cases a pension often proves a curse to confirmed drunkards by j enabling such to waste it in dissipa tion. Dunville Intelligencer, Now Look for a Flood. In 1865, observes the Harrisburg Imlenlf nt, there was an enormous amount of ice in the river which went off precisely as did the ice of 1893 without doing much damage, but im mediately after the ice had left the Susquehanna river in 1865 there oc cured one of the most tremendous floods in the history of that stream. Considering the immense amount of snow now on the ground or the coun try watered by the Susquehanna river and its branches, and the ice to great extent out of these streams, is it pro bable that a flood will follow in March 1893, hke that which occurred in March 1865 ? Old rivermen think and say that there is every reason to believe that an enormous spring flood may occur this year, but old rivermen, like all modern prophets of evil, as a rule, are not correct indicatois of the weather. Free Text Books. The bill now before tiic Legislature in reference to free text books is as follows : Section 1. "That school directors or controllers shall purchase text books and other necessary scientific and mechanical supplies for use in the public i.chools of their respective school districts out of the school funds of the district, and that at least one-third of all the books b provided each year, until all the books required are fur nished, and when so procured, the necessary books and school supplies shall be furnished free of cost to each pupil for use in the school of said dis trict, subject to the order of the dir ectors thereo, whose duty it shall be to provide for the safe keeping and care ot the books which shall be re turned. Section 2, "that no school district shall receive its portion of the state appropriations to which it may be entitled, until the provisions of this act shall have been complied with. Opposed to Luzerne County'a Division. The Board of Trade of Wilkesbarre at an enthusiastic meeting in which the new county ciucstion was discuss ed, passed after a few hours' session resolutions against the division. It was decided that the taking of the pro. posed territory from the present bound aries of the county af Luzerne would in geographical area place Luzerne County in the category of small coun ties. The committee to appear be fore the legislature will be appointed some time within the next f.'w days.
