FRIDAY, MAY IJ, 1893. The World'! Fair may be opened on Sunday, after all. Mrs. Chauncey M. Depew of New York died on Sunday. No date has yet been fixed for the adjournment of the state legislature. Carlyle W. Harris, the New York wife poisoner, was executed at Sing Sing on the electric chair on Monday. If the proposed apportionment bill goes through the Legislature, this judi cial district will include Sullivan coun ty. Up to 1874 the district included Columbia, Snllivan and Wyoming, and Montour was in a district with North umberland. In 1874 Sullivan and Wyoming were made one district, Northumberland was made a separate district, and Columbia and Montour were put in the aoth district, remain ing so for nearly twenty years. WABmwoiitTm Washington, May 8, 1893. President Cleveland is being impor tuned to call an immediate session of Congress, and the presence of ex Speaker Crisp in town started a rumor that he had so decided. If he has, the decision is not made public. There is little doubt that Mr. Cleveland would call an immediate extra session if le knew that it would promptly repeal the Sherman Silver law, but of that he is not certain, and a refusal to repeal might have a bad effect on the finan cial situation, which has not been af fected by the Wall street excitement during last week. Many democrats express the opinion that it would be the proper thing at this time to rail an extra session and throw the responsi bility of maintaining the government credit upon Congress, but they also express their confidence in the Presi dent's ability to do the right thing. Secretary Carlisle took a long step in the right direction when he demand ed the resignation of A. L. sturtevant, chief of the division of stationery. Sturtevant has been in office 32 years, is rich, a salaried officer of a prosper- bank, and is moreover a ring leader in what is locally known as the "Treasury ring," members of which have for years boasted that no Secretary could get along without them. It has not been two weeks since a local paper printed m 1181 Ol JHUUauic iuaii&a in tut; iitw ury, singling out those who belonged to the "Treasury ring" as men whose services it would be impossible for Mr. Carlisle to dispense with and still continue to do business, f and even now the same paper says that Mr. Carlisle will upon consideration of the matter request Sturtevant to withdraw his resignation, but all the same he will not. He will probably get rid of every chief who belongs to the ring, just to show them how easy it is to get along without them. He certain ly ought to. 1 "Secretary Lamont," said a New Yorker to your correspondent, "has no intention of remaining in the cabinet Ho only accepted a portfolio as a favor to his old friend, the President, and with the express understanding that he 1 a ! , . 1 wouia resign as soon s certain worn was done in which he was to take port Exactly what that work is I don't think anybody except Dan and Mr. Cleveland know but there are good reasons to suppose that it relates largely to the federal appointments in New York, and as soon as all of those appointments the prominent ones, I mean are made, I am under the im pression that Secretary Lamont will resign and resume his connection with the Whitney street railway syndicate, where his salary was more than three times what he now receives." Secre tary Lamont declines to discuss the probabi'ity of his early resignation, dismissing inquiries with the statement that he has no present intention of re signing. But there are other things which point to the probability of his doing so. The Secretary of War has less patronage than any other member of the cabinet, but Secretary Lamont has not availed himself even of the little at his disposal, and many believe that it is because he wishes his succes sor to have the choosing oi the officials. Another thing which has been com mented upon is that the Lamonts have not given up their residence in New York city, and when Mrs. Lamont was in Washington a short time ago, she , spoke very indefinitely about her com- ing here to live again 1 and only last week she accepted the presidency of a ' New York social organization, which would not have been tendered to her had it been supposed that she had any ' immediate intention of removing her residence to Washington. ; Why misrepresentation should be so general in republican newspapers, as to the number of fourth class post masters appointed, when it is so easy to get the official figures, is one of those things that are difficult to under stand. The republican postmasters cannot be "fired out" too fast for the average democrat, and it would there fore when viewed through party glasses be rather creditable than otherwise to Mr. Maxwell had he exceeded the record of Mr. Clarkson in putting in republicans four years ago, but he has not come up to that record by a long shot, as will be seen from the figures below. During the first two months of the Harrison administration 5,104 fourth class postmasters were appoint ed, while the number appointed during the first two months of the present ad ministration only reached 3,894, of which 3,685 were made to nil vacan cies caused by resignation and death. So you see only 1,309 republicans have been removed, against 3,496 democrats removed by Clarkson in the same period. Brother Maxwell may largely increase his speed in making removals without offending any good democrat. The record of Presiden tial postmasters appointed during the same periods stands Harrison 264, Cleveland 155. The Jonnitown Democrat is booming A. B. Farquhar of York, Pa., for the democratic nomination f6r Governor next year. Mr. Farqu har is a very busy man and insists that he could not possibly give the time to the work of the canvass. But this refusal does not seem to deter the editor from pressing his name vigorously. Mr. Farquhar is one of the largest agricultural implement manufacturer to be found and in a work of his own publication he has shown the fallacy of the present sys tem of tariff taxation. His nomina tion would call out the most enthu siastic support from the agricultural sections, and they seem to hold the balance of power in this great com monwealth. The President and the Offioe-Eeekera. From morning until one o'clock in the afternoon Mr. Cleveland stands at his desk, for he does not encourage continued conversation by sitting down, and receives the office-beggars, and their supporters." Senators and Rep resentatives are among his most cons tant callers and most importunate claimants. Some of these public men, who are supposed to be selected to perform the duties of statesmanship, are daily visitors at the White House. They apparently regard the President as an almoner for their constituents, and as bound to devote himself to their political interests. Therefore they insist that he shall give them all his time listening to their appeals for patronage, and taking part in their struggles for ascendency in their States and districts. Three-fourths of the President's visitors are applicants for subordinate positions, and compel the President to appear to take an inter est in matters which he ought not to Consider. It has been stated that he tries not to remember what is said to him, and he certainly will never think of many an applicant or his petition after the first audience is over. After one o'clock the White House is closed to visitors, and the President's intention is to work at the tasks that are demanding attention, and to con sider the correspondence which is piling up ominously. But the office- seeker does not leave him a quiet hour. During the afternoon and even ing men of importance send him their cards, and would be deeply offended if they were not received to talk about post-offices, consulates, and other less important matters. Even the cabinet meetings are partly devoted to the consideration of patronage, and if the President secures an hour alone during the working day he considers himself fortunate. This is an outrage on the President and the country, but appeals address ed to the patriotism or self respect or common humanity of the patronage- beggars are useless. 1 hey will not relent. They insist on wearing out the President and the members of the cabinet, and in compelling the post ponement of the public business to their greed for place. The only reme dy lies in the President's hands. He ought not to listen to a single appli cant or to a word from a public man in behalf of any single applica-jt or to a word from a public man in behalf of any office-seeker unless he invites the conference. Every application should be made in writing. The rule should be inflexible. Then, if a re moval is to be made for cause, and the President is in doubt on the papers submitted, he may invite a fuller ex planation. But no. one, no matter what may be his position or influence, should be permitted to intrude upon him. The present condition of things is not only undignified, it is disgrace ful. farper'a Weekly.

The twenty-sixth annual meeting of the Susquehanna synod of the Evan gelical Lutheran church at Montgom ery last week. This synod was organ ized Nov. 5, 1867, with Rev. A. R. Home, chairman, and Rev. E. J. rtolf, secretary, having previously existed as the Susquehanna, which had been es tablished Jan. 15, 1845. It consisted then of but five ministers, viz : George Parsons, Eli Swart, Chas. Witmer, Henry Ziegler, and John Kohler. The form of incorporation was presented to the court of Northumberland coun ty and passed Nov.5, 1868. Since the or ganisation of the synod the communicant membership has increated from 5,000 to 9.573 at last meeting. The num ber of Sunday school scholars has in creased from 3,648 to 10,915. The amount raised for benevolence during the life of the synod was $108,015.76 ; contributions for beneficiary educa tion in the same period, $17,398.16; by the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society. $ia,aai. 13 ; con tributed by Sunday schools for support of the schools and benevolence, $41 1, aoa.ar ; expended for local purposes, including the building of churches and ' parsonage, and the support of the ministry, $920,993.77 or an aggregate amounting to the handsome total of $1,126,831.74.

"It is astonishing," said one of our physicians the other evening, "how many of the ordinary diseases people suffer from come from the one cause excess of uric acid in the blood. To discover a medicine that would dissolve this acid has puzzled thous ands of the best men of the medical profession, until Dr. David Kennedy, of Rondout, N. Y., produced what is known the world over as Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy. The gTeat value we place in Favorite Remedy comes from the fact that it is the only medi cine that will effectually dissolve this acid thus curing rheumatism, dyspep sia, kidney, livel and urinary troubles and the sicknesses women suffer from. These and many more troubles all come from the one cause, as I said before, this death dealing uric acid." Perhaps there has been no one per son in Wyoming Co., Pa., that has suffered more than Mrs. Carrie Bou ton, formerly of Schottville, but now of Harvey's Lake, Luzerne Co. Mrs. Bouton, in relating her restoration to health, said 1 "From a growing girl I suffered from female trouble or weak ness peculiar to my sex. Several phy siciins prescribed for me but I found no relief. I was reduced in flesh down to 68 pounds. By accident I heard of Dr. Kennedy s Favorite Remedy and determined to try it, and to my great joy I began to realize that I had found a medicine that was doing me good. I think I had used five bottles when I found that I weighed 121) r unds and was better in health than ever was before. Inquiry among Mrs. Bouton's neigh bors shows that she states nothing but the facts in regard to her case. Many other instances of the kind are widely talked of in Scottsville, Tunkhannock, Wilkesbarre and other places where Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy has effected many cures after physicians had given up hope. "But," says one of our prominent druggists, Favorite Remedy is equally efficacious in other diseases, as talks with people I have sold Favorite Re medy to affirm. To my knowledge right in our town Favorite Remedy has cured people suffering from rheu matism, dyspepsia, kidney, liver and urinary troubles." Since the publiration in one of the New York medical journals of the case of Mr, E. P. Tayer, of East Nas sau, N. Y., Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy has been increasing in sale. Mr. Tayer had suffered .for fifteen years with inflammatory rheumatism. His case was practically abandoned by his physicians. Favorite Remedy was brought to his notice and in less than three months after its use he was a well man. In commenting on this case Dr. W. H. Morse, of New York City, says : The great good in Favorite Remedy lies in its power to dissolve this dead ly uric acid. In cases of dyspepsia, eczema, scrofula, or any urinary di seases I have never known it to fail, when taken according to directions. Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy is not only used by physicians now but can be found on sale by every medicine dealer. Wilkes-JJarre Pa.)2lime$.
