WASHINGTON.
From our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7th, IS9B.
Mr. McKinley's attempt to bluff
the anti-civil service republicans in
the House into keeping quiet, by
promising that he would modify the
civil service rales as soon as the agi
tation ceased, was a flat failure. The
fight on civil service began as soon as
Congress reassembled. Gen. Gros
venor even lett his friend, Boss
Hanna, who is fighting for his life at
Columbus, in order to be in Washing
ton to lead the assault on the civil
service fort. And the antis are not
confining themselves to talk. They
have introduced a bill in the House
providing that only those government
employes with salaries from S9OO to
SIBOO, inclusive, and in places where
there are twenty-five or more Federal
employes shall be under the civil ser
vice law. The answers of three mem
bers of the Cabinet, —Sherman, Gage
and Wilson—to a Senate resolution
are also in the nature of a fulisade
into Mr. McKinley's rear, as they
each say that the rules ought to be
so modified as to exclude a number
of places in each of their departments.
The silver men in the Senate are
showing signs of an intention to take
the aggressive. In line with that in
tention was a resolution offered by
Senator Teller, declaring that all
U. S. bonds are payable in silver
dollars, at the option of the govern
ment. This is not a new idea. The
resolution offered by Mr. Teller is
identically the same that was offered
in the Senate nearly twenty years ago
by the late Stanley Matthews, of
Ohio, and at that time adopted. The
Finance Committee, to which this
resolution was referred, will be sure
to report it back, as a majority of the
Committee are silver men.
The administration having succeed
ed in whipping all the republican
Senators into the support of annexa
tion, Senator Davis has given notice
that the Hawaiian treaty would be
taken up next week.
Representative Benton, of Mo.,
thus gives his opinion of that alleged
Monetary Commission and its report:
"Speaking after the fashion of our
plain western people, I think the com
mission and its report combine a
stupendous exhibition of gall. Who
made the commission ? The Indian
apolis monetary convention. And by
what authority ? What act passed by
any law making body gave life to
this convention or its progeny, the
Commission ? For whom do they
speak ? Of % bom is this Commission
composed ? Is there a practical cot
ton-planter on it ? No ; yet we rais
ed in '97 $275,000,000 worth of cot
ton at the lowest prices for many
years. What representative wheat
raiser is on the Commission to repre
sent the makers of 530,000,000
busheis of wheat ? Is there to be
found a representative cattle and hog
raiser on this Commission ? Is there
a practical miner of coal, iron, lead
or zinc on it ? No. Who on this
commission represents the carpenter,
mason and other mechanics ? Nobody,
well, if this vast army of people repre
senting more than a thousand million
dollars of production annually and
sixty millions of people have no mem
ber to speak for them by authority,
who do these eminently able and
respectable gentlemen represent ?
Simply money, stocks and bonds,
owned and controlled by a few thou
sand persons, who have by aid of leg ■
islatftm cornered four-fifths of our
national weaitn, insist on future
legislation being enacted to suit their
condttion." Mr. Benton says further
that the legislation recommended by
the Commission is for the purpose of
making money scarcer ; turning over
',he paper money to the keeping of
those they represent, and enabling
them to control markets and buy pro
ducts at their own prices, adding in
conclusion : "In my view, the whole
report of this commission, when boil
ed down, means : "We want the law
so charged that every bond, every
dollar of silver and paper must be re
deemed in gold, and that National
banks shall alone be empowered to
omit paper, and more, to have the
restrictions now on the Statute books
removed so tfiat the banks will be
responsible to no one by law."
Some of the shrewdest political ob
servers in Washington, members of
all parties, agree that Gov. Bushnell
and the anti-Hanna republicans of the
Ohio legislation have made it certain
that neither Mr. McKinley nor any
other Ohio man will head the republi
can ticket in 1900, and that the State
will be in the democratic column for
some years to come. Czar Reed's
friends are keeping quiet, but they re
gard his chances for the republican
nomination in 1900 as having been
greatly improved by the Ohio repub
licans. There are reasons for believ
ing that Mr. McKinley also holds this
opinion.
The ordinary counterfeit is so easily
distinguishable from the genuine note
that only those not accustomed to
handling money ije deceived by it,
but a number 01 couuterfeit SIOO
certificates have been discover-
Ed which fool bank experts, and there
is in consequence alarm and conster
nation in the Treasury Department.
The Secretary has ordered that the
the entire issue of these silver certifi
j cates be called in—$26,000,000
and the full extent of the counterfeit-
I ing will not be known untd the notes
| are all in. Meanwhile an, dy would
better refuse SIOO silver certificates,
unless tendered by responsible parties.

Failu es For 1897 Show Large Decrease.
Dun's Review Sees Gratifying Signs In the
New Year's Opening.
R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review
of trade in its issue of Saturnay says :
In failures 1897 was not only the
best year since 1892, but on the
whole the best ever definitely known.
With 13,522 failures, in number 11.5
per cent, less than 1896, and $182,-
581,771 defaulted liabilities, 34.0 per
cent, less than in 1896, the year's
banking failures couuted for $28,249,-
700, and the commercial failures were
but 13,351, with liabilities of $154,-
322,071, the average per failure being
only $n,559, the lowest ever known
except in 1892. But even in that
year the failures during the last half
averaged liabilities of $10,477 P er
failure, while in the last half of 1897
the average was only $9,593.
The new year began with disap
pointment for speculators in stocks
and grain, which is not a bad sign.
Prices ot stocks have gained a little,
after yielding at first, and close seven
ty-three cents per share higher for
railroads and $1.05 per share higher
for trusts.
Wheat declined ijc owing to the
termination of the corner at Chicago,
and western receipts were about
double last year's, with Atlantic ex
ports 2,840,318 bushels, flour includ
ed, against 2,150,990 last year. A
speculative estimate makes the quan
tity still in farmers' hands forty per
cent, of the crop, which is quite possi
ble, but the consumption and exports
in half the year ought to take more
than forty per cent, of the year's
supply.
The cotton manufacture is a little
encouraged by larger demand for
goods since the reduction in prices,
and the abstention of buyers for
months has probably been due in
large measure to expectation of that
reduction, but with the certainty that
the print cloth works are to continue
prices have further declined to 2.12
cents. The woolen and worsted mills
are both buying wool quite largely at
prices probably close to the best.
The iron manufacture 'has been
further encouraged by unusual busi
ness for the season, including a large
building contract made, and others
for bridges pending at Chicago, a
sale of 50,000 tons pig to one pipe
foundry at the east and contracts for
two vessels of 5,5000 tons hoop at
New York and 500 for Mexico.
Failures for the week have been
322 in the United States against 471
last year and in Canada thirty-two
against sixty-two last year.

An editor of a western newspaper
is mourning the loss of two subscri
bers. The one wanted to know how
to rear his twins safely, while the
other wanted to know how to rid his
orchard of grasshoppers. The answer
went forward by return mail, but by
accident he transposed them into
wrong envelopes, so that the man with
twins received this answer: Cover
them with straw and set fire and the
little pests, after jumping in the
flames for a few minutes, will speedily
settle ; while the man plagued with
grass-hoppers was told to "give castor
oil and rub their gums with a bone."

THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMoBURG, PA.
APPHAISBR'S DUTIES.
The Mercantile Tax Law Interpreted by
the Auditor General.
HOW TO MAKE ASSESSMENTS.
A
Auditor General Mylin has issued
a circular letter to the County Com
missioners of the State in relation to
the duties of the mercantile appraiser.
He suggests that the appraisers be in
formed on several points. He insists
that appraisers shall personally visit
all stores or other places of business
liable to mercantile tax, and says that
no license is to be assessed where the
annual amount of sales is less than
siooo. If dealers in liquors sell other
goods than liquors then they must pay
a license for the sale of such goods.
In all counties the appraiser must
furnish the county treasurer a certified
list of dealers with their classifications.
The Auditor General's department
will pav no bills for mileage unless it
is satisfied that the appraiser has in
person visited in one continuous trip
every piace of business assessed. In
accordance with a recent decision of
the Supreme Court, dealers in live
stock are exempt and they must not
be assessed.
Butchers who sell the meat of ani
mals they have slaughtered are also
exempt, but those butchers who pur
chase cattle already killed and sell
the dressed meat are liable to the pay
ment of license. All foreign or resi
dent dealers or firms who have a shop
for the sale of meat apart from the
slaughter house must be taxed.
County treasurers are instructed to
give the collection of licenses for
theatrical, operatic or circus perform
ances, and menageries and museums,
their personal attention and to strictly
enforce the act. There must be no
ficticious names on the appraiser's
list nor names of persons not residing
at the places designated by him.
Under an opinion of the Attorney
General appraisers are instructed
hereafter to assess all owners of res
taurants, eatinu houses, etc., not sell
ing liquors, and provision has been
made by the department for returning
this class of licenses. The appraiser
has no control over the publication of
the list and it can not be placed in a
Sunday paper.
The attention of county treasurers
is directed to the practice in vo je in
many counties of the Common ealth
by Justices of the Peace or Aid ,rman
in issuing summons and executions in
suits for uncollected licenses to Con
stables other than those residing in
district where the defendant lives or
nearest thereto. The Auditor Gener
al holds that this is in direct violation
of law and that the summons must be
issued direct to the Constable residing
in the district. In the past there has
been grave abuse in this direction.
The summons and executions in
suits for uncollected licenses have been
placed in the hands of one Constable
and he has traveled all over the
county serving them, and charging
mileage, oftentimes t rining his fees
and charges to a far larger amount
than that collected by him. The
Auditor General says that hereafter
no costs charged in violation of law
will be paid by the department.
Under this circular the Auditor
General will carefully scan all bills
that are sent in by mercantile apprais
ers. He holds that it is within his
province to reduce them within the
meaning of the law.
This country lacks a good many
things, but lawyers can hardly be
classed in the category. Whatever
the case may have been a few decades
ago the claim will not hold good now.
In fact, if the present rate of increase
keeps up a while longer we are in
danger of becoming a nation of law
yers. Indeed, the, "crop of lawyers"
has latterly vied with the wheat, corn
and cotton crops in its abundance.
In 1870 there were only 1,611 stu
dents in the law schools of the country.
By 1885 the number had grown to
3,054; in 1891 there were 6,106,
while last year these schools had in
creased to 85 and the students to
more than io,ooo. These figures
take no account of the students who
complete their studies under private
preceptors, and who never go to law
colleges at all. There are in the
United States about 90,000 lawyers,
or one to every 800 inhabitants. In
Chicago the ratio is one lawyer to
every 350 persons. There are in all
France, with her 40,000,000 inhabi
tants, only 6,000 lawyers, while
Chicago alone has 5,000, half of
whom do not earn as much as a first
class mechanic. With the increase
in numbers the emoluments have
been diminishing.
It is to be hoped our government
will be able to lease from Denmark a
strip of land along the northwest coast
of Greenlapd on which to establish
naval and coaling stations. Such
stations will be a benefit not only to
us, but to Denmark itself and to all
other nations that send ships to the
arctic waters in that part of the world.
With such stations exploring opera
tions whose end and aim is the reach
ing of the uoith pole will be greatly
facilitated.

Pardee Hall's Fire LOBS,
Damage to the Burned Structure Appraisod
at $44,720.65.
Lewis Havens, of Philadelphia, and
James Woolsey, of Scranton, the ap
praisers selected by Lafayette College
and the insurance companies in which
policies were held on Pardee Hall,
Thursday fixed the amount of damage
done the building by the recent fire
at $44,720.65.
This amount will be paid the col
lege, or, if the trustees desire, either
of the appraisers will rebuild the hall
tor that figure and place the structure
in equally as good condition as it was
prior to the fire.
The total insurance on the furni
ture and appliances in the building,
$30,000, has been allowed, but this
will fall short of the loss by about
$15,000. The S9OOO insurance on
the Ward library has also been allow
ed, but will fall sro,ooo short of the
loss.

Patronize Home Merchants.
It is probably a fact, as often stated,
that every description of business is
gradually drifting from the villages to
the cities. This, perhaps, is only
natural but still it is to be deplored.
Village merchants take great pains to
select such goods as are demanded by
their trade, and these same lines of
goods can frequently be purchased
cheaper of the local merchants than
at the city stores, and the same will
hold good in all other branches of
business. We hold that, as a general
rule, it is poor policy for any lady to
go abroad to do her shopping or for
any gentleman to buy his clothing in
the city when they can be equally as
well served at home. It discourages
the business man and sooner or later
will kill the business interests of the
town. It is aiways a good ruie to spend
your money where you earn it.
Leave your money among towns
people and you will again see the
color of it. Give it to the transient
dealers and no magnet will bring it
back.
When bilious or costive, eat a Cas
caret, candy catharic, cure guaranteed.
