THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOM8BURG, PA.' It WASHINGTON." Froa our Regular Correspondent. Washington, Dec, a 4th, 1S97. "Wobbling Willie" is again being applied to Mr. McKinlcy as a nick name by members of his own party. The republicans who slill call them selves bimetallism have about decided that Mr. McKinlcy must cither de clare himselt to be a gold monoine tallist or a bimetallist t they are tired of having him coddle them by talking bimetallism and then allowing Secre tary Gage to publicly announce, with out remonstrance, that the administra tion was for any and everything that was regarded as likely to help perpetu ate the single gold standard. These men have quieted their constituents by securing them of Mr. McKinley's sincere friendship for bimetallism, and his desire to aid in its restoration when the opportunity offered, and it was from Mr. McKinley himself that they got the impressions upon which those assurances were founded. Now they have doubts, and will demand that Mr. McKinley settle them once for all. Mr. McKinley has been wobbling on the civil service rules quite as bad ly as upon finance, and he is likely to find himself brought to book on this subject soon after Congress resumes business. Just before Congress ad journed for the holidays, Mr. McKin ley indicated, if he did not actually make the promise, to some of the republicans who had been taking an active part in the movement to secure anti-civil service legislature, that he intended to issue an executive order that would remove from the protection of the civil service rules many ot the offices that were included in Mr. Cleveland's extensions of the rules. Thij week, with Congress away, Mr. McKinley told his Cabinet that he was inclined to stand pat on civil service and that while he might make some changes he did not expect to make any extensive modification of existing rules. The joint sessions of the House and Senate Indian Committee, the object ot which is to agree upon a single bill covering all the legislation for the Indian Territory and the five tribes of civilized Indians that this Congress will be asked to pass, have so far merely served tc show how many divergent interests there are in this matter and how difficult it will be to draw a bill that will not be unjust to some of these interests. The nomination of Mr. Charles Page Bryan to be minister to China, if persisted in by Mr. McKinley, may be the cause of a big fuss in the Senate. It has been represented to Mr. McKinley that the European grab game which is now being played in China makes it imperative that the U. S. minister to that country should be a man of wide diplomatic experi ence, and that Mr. Bryan lacks that qualification. Such Senators as Teller, Wollcott and Frye have announced their intention to fight the confirma tion of Bryan, if Mr. McKinley sends it to the Senate in spite of the pro tests which have been made to him The republican policy of cutting the appropriations regardless of what is needed, in order to try to help the Dingley tarift lessen that deficit night mare, has been shown in a striking manner by the way in which the House committee on Appropriations treated the recommendations of '.he Secretary ot the Interior, who had himself, under orders from the White House, cut the estimates of all his bureau chiefs. Everybody knows that the work of the Tatcnt Office has steadily increased with the growth of the country. and perhaps everybody doesn't kntV, but it is true all the same, that the U. S. Government makes a profit out of the Patent Office, the amount to its credit at this time in the U. S. Treasury being in excess of $5,000,000. The Secretary of the Interior asked Congress to pro vide for iust one-half of the additional lipln that the Commissioner of Patents says is needed to get the business of the office up to date, and the House Appropriations Committee declined to provide any additional help at all, although the business of the office is now from two to six months behind. If a private business establishment refused to employ help enough to promptly handle its busi ness, it would soon nna inat nvais were getting it away from it, but as the government has no rivals in this business those who have dealings with the Patent office will have to grin and bear the delay until better business sense prevails in the House, unless the Senate comes to the rescue by properly amending the Legislative, Executive and Judicial appropriation bill. Every republican office holder from Ohio, in Washington, who is supposed to have the slightest influence with the republican members of the Ohio legislature has been ordered not re- quested to report at the Hanna headquarters in Columbus, for the purpose of helping the boss to land that Senatorial plum. Another proof that this is a civil service reform'ad-ministration.

Employes of iron and steel plants in the South are getting more work just now than they have for the past three years, and most of the mills have orders enough ahead to last them for the next three months. Such, in brief, is a statement made by President M. M. Garland, of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers, who has just returned from a trip through the mill districts of the South. He visited the mills in and about Cincinnati, Riverside, Covington, Newport, Birmingham, Anniston and Gate City. The mills in all these places are running full time, and have all the trade they can conveniently handle. . Brooklyn, N. Y., Dec, 19, 1896. Messrs.

In an opinion given Friday to Insur ance Commissioner Lambert in the matter of insurance proposed to be issued by combinations orafsociations of insurance companies, both foreign and State, Deputy Attorney General Reeder decides that no two or more companies can lawfully unite in issu ing a joint policy of insurance in which it does not distinctly appear that each receives a certain and definite pro portion of the premiums and assumes only a certain and definite proportion of the liability, and in which it does j not also distinctly appear that each company acts for itself and not for the other. No two corporations have a right to engage in a joint business where cither may become liable for the engagements or defaults of the other, or where, by any possibility, there may be such a community ot interests as might be construed into a partnership. The opinion was drawn out by the desire of the department to have a ruling on the policies that have here tofore been issued by the Philadelphia Underwriters' Association and other organizations doing business in the western part of the State.

A Bevy of Cslostial Visitors it Promise, Next year q iitc a bevy of these cosmical wan Icrers are timed to ap pcir in our skies, siys the London Globe. The Pons Winncckc comet should open the list by appearing in April, after an absence of about five and one half years. In May the cele brated Eneke comet is due. This cornet has a period of only three and one-fourth years, and its frequent re appearance has been the means of astronomers discovering a great deal about comets and their wanderings through space. In June we should have two of these cosmical visitors S.vifi's and Wolfe's comets the form er after an absence of six years and the latter a trifle longer. Temple's comet completes the visitors' list by arriving in September. These comets are all regular visitors, whose periods are so well known that their arrivals may be timed almost to the hour. Others no doubt will arrive, but they will doubtless be casuals, ot whose antecedents nothing is known, and most of them such small fry as only to catch the eye of the most assiduous observers. There is one other comet whose visit falls due in November, 1898, but this poor body went to pieces fifty years ago. This comet is known as Biela's, and has not been seen since 1852, although it ought to have re turned half a dozen times since then. It began to divide in 1846, and on its next and last appearance r, 250,000 miles separated its parts. It was this comet which an astronomer predicted would approach within 20,000 miles of the earth's path on its visit in 1832. and so accurately was this prediction made that its fulfillment was consu mited within twelve hours of the time foretold. The near approach of this comet to the earth's orbit caused a considerable amount of consternation throughout the country. Nor was the incitement greatly allayed by the as surance that the earth would not reach that portion of its course which the comet approach so closely for at least a month after. However nothing very serious happened, and the public mind reassumed its wonted calm. Although Biela's comet is not likely to appear, there will doubtless be seen about November 26 or 27 a shower of meteors associated with the orbit of the lost comet. This shower reg ularly returns at periods coincident with the times at which the parent comet would have arrived had it main tained its coherency. Mr. Bryan Will Remain on Deck, There have been reports that William J. Bryan had expressed his intention to retire from politics. Such rumors may have sprung from the desire of the goldbugs that so formida ble an opponent should cease to antagonize their policy by a cessation of his political activity. If this was a case of the wish being the father of the thought it has proved to be entire ly vain, as we have the assurance of Mr. Bryan's own words that he is not going out of politics just yet. In reply to an inquiry as to the truth of the report ot his intended retirement he has written to Congress man Gaines, of Tennessee, effectually exposing its untruth by saying "I expect to remain in politics all my lite. Whether I shall ever run for office again depends on circumstance." It would indeed be a great mis fortune to the country if it, were de prived of Mr, Bryan's political service. This may be said without regard to the eventuality of his being again a candidate for the Presidency. Circum stances will determine what occasion there may be for his service in that capacity ; but he has proven himself so staunch an advocate of true Demo cratic principles, at a time when the fate of the Republic depends upon the success of those principles, and so able and fearless a tribune ot the peo ple that the nation will profit by his service in whatever capacity he may render it. He is a born leader and he may be. trusted to lead in the right direction. It is not merely in his advocacy of silver, as a part of the constitutional currency of the country, that he is servir.g the cause of the people and maintaining a Democratic principle. ' here is in his championship some thing higher than the mere question of money. It involves the preserva tion of popular institutions and free government. That the people should have a free and sound currency, uncontrolled by the monetary monopoly which the cold standard is intended to establish, is a matter of great material interest to them, but it is transcended in im portance by the enforcement of those principles ot uemocraiic government and essentials to civil liberty which were so forcibly re-asserted in the Chicago platform and so ably and fearlessly maintained Dy wnuam j Bryan, whom the country cannot afford to have retired from political life until it shall be determined that the will of the people, and not the handed interests of wealth, shall rule this nation.

An engineer's watchfulness averted what must have been a fatal wreck on the Sunbury, Hazleton & Wilkes Barre Railroad, near Danville, and Thursday Chief of Police Tusey ar rested Cleveland Coleman, and Ross G. Thomas, boys, for having jeopard ized the train and its human freight by opening a switch. At the point where the switch had been tampered with, between Danville and Catawissa, the railroad skirts the Susquehanna River. The engineer saw the danger barelv in time to ave't a catastrophe. Had the train run throuh the switch it would have gone into the river, and many lives would probably have been lost. Coleman and Thomas ad mitted their guilt and were committed to prison.

The Dead of the War From the records of the war de partment corrected to date, by the in vestigations of the Pension office, it is ascertained now that out of the 2,000,000 union soldiers of the late war the aggregate number of deaths was 360,207. While 67,058 men were killed outright in action and 42,581 died ot wounds making a 'otal of 109, 639, more than double that number died of disease or to be exact. 32.1. 586. It is worth noting that out of the more than 2,000,000 individuals who were in the service from first to last, only 267 men were executed for crimes by the United States military authorities. Soon after the war the government took measures to identify the vast army of dead and mark their graves, beventy-six national ceme teries were established throughout the union, including one in the city of Mexico, where the dead of the Mexi can war lie buried. They are mostly on Southern prisons, Arlington, the most beautiful of all, being opposite the capital on old Custer Lee planta tion. In these over 135,000 soldiers graves are marked.
