The report of the Postmaster General
states that over f 2,000,UX in checks,

Smith into the cabinet.
A NKWSPAfKK is always printed in a
ruh, says the New York Sun. There is
always something in it that should be
h-ft out; something left out that should
be put in. It is something too quick t

comings there is more education in a
bright newspaper than there is in any
novel. You find the brightest lxy on
practical, sensible every day questions is
the boy that reads the uew.-paj re.

Pkksidknt Cleveland on Wednesday
sent two nominations to the Senate
Herman Stump, of Helair. Md., to bo
Sujerintendent of Immigration, and
.William P. Thompson to lie Collector of
Customs at lielfast, Me. Mr. Stump
served two terms in Congress. He was
Chairman of the House Committee on

The federal appointments made so far
in New York, says tLe Pittsburg W, do
not give much comfort to what U known
as the state machine, or for the matter
of that, to Tammany. They are mostly
from the ranks of the anti snappers, who
entered such a lively protest against Gov
ernor Hill's February convention last
year as to destroy itcs prestige as a president-making
body. So far tliere has
U-en no demotiftration against the con
tinuation of these appointments, but it
may break out any day. It is suggested
as likely that Senator Murphy may have
something to say against confirming Mr.
Jwge F. Parker who is credited with
ery lively objections to Mr. Murphy's
aJoctiou to Lbe Senate.
The Senate at Washington is receiving
quite a number 01 protests against
Russian extradition treaty. There ap-
lears to be one point in which it does
not suit anarchists and others. It pro
vides that assassination or attempts at
assassination shall be extraditable and
puts the emperor or any other member
of the royal family on a par with a com
mon citizen whom ii is attempted to
murder. It has leen claimed that under
this clause political offenders will be ex
tradited. There is, however, in the
treaty a provision giving the Secretary
of State discretionary power to refuse ex
tradition whenever it is not proved that
the irson wanted was guilty of an at
tempt at murder, and it is also provided
that he or she must be tried for the of
fense for which extradited. Senators
think this will prevent extradition ex
cept where murder has been attempted.
and they are not ready to countenance
assassination as a means of changing a
form government.
The treaty has already been ratified
by the Senate, so that the matter has
really passed out of its hands, and the
only way in which the treaty can be
Stnpied going into effect is by a success
ful appeal to the Presideut not to ex
change ratifications and promulgate it,
a thing he naturally Would I extremely
disinclined to do, in view of the treaty
having received more than a two-thirds
vote in the Senate.
Several towns in New York State
employed the Meyers ballot machine for
the first time in their local elections this
spring; and. as the State press has freely
testified, with entirely satisfactory results
The machine is self-recording, accurate
and expeditious in its working; and any
tam tiering with the vote by the inspector
is out of the question. The Rochester
Herald states that at Brighton, Monroe
county, the po'.ls closed at three minutes
before f, and at three minutes after o
the total vote for each of the 44 candi
dates who were running for office had
been registered by the machine, transfer
red to the polls clerks' book, read back,
and verified. Rut perhaps the best testi
mony to the merits oi the machine is the
fact that in no instance has an attempt
been made to question its verdict. The
ballot box corruptionists stand mule in
its presence. They recognize, instinct
ively that their vocation, if not gone, is
rapidly going.
Governor Pattison last Thursday ii
sued a proclamation designating Satur
day, April 15, and Saturday,
April 20, -to be oliserved as Arbor
days in Pennsylvania. The selection of
either of the designated days is left to the
discretion of the people in the common
wealth. The Governor says in the proc
lamation: "Let the people take a day
and devote sufficient time thereof to
plant a forest, fruit or ornamental tree
along the public highways and streams,
about the public school houses and on
the college grounds, in gardens and farms,
thus promoting the pleasure, profit and
prosperity of the people of the state, pro
viding protection against Hoods ami
storms, securing health and comfort, in
creasing that which is leauliful and
pleasing to the eye. comforting to physi
cal life and elevating to the mind and
heart, and by associations and meeting,
excite, public interest and give encour
agement to this most commendable
work."
An attempt was made to kill King
Humbert, of Italy, on Saturday evening
by one Berardi as the King was return
ing from the Villa Borghese, where he
had fieen spending the day. The mis
sile thrown by the would- le assassin
missed its mark, and, before a second
attempt upon the King's life could be
made, several persons rushed upon the
assailant and held him fast. There were
a great many people on the street at the
time, and as soon as the tacts of ihe
case became known there was the wild
est excitement.
The assailant was promptly taken in
hand by the police and conveyed to
prison; otherwise he Would in all rol
ability have leen killed by the angry
multitude. He is said to hea religious
fanatic. An immense crowd assembled
and cheered the King with frantic en
thusiasm, and all the way to the Palace
the scene whs like a triumphal progress.
The bar silver now stored iu the Uni
ted States Mint at Philadelphia amounts
to 1 10, 000,000 ounces, the laigest quan
tity ever deixwited in one place in this
country. This quantity is equal to G,
2"0,000 iounds avoirdupois, or 3, 125
tons. Ixadetl upon wagons carrying
one ton each, and allowing forty feel for
each team and vehicle, this muss of
metal would ;make a procession over
twenty miles long. The quantity is 6o
great that a new steel lined vault, 8
feet wide, has heen built to accommo
date a portion of it. Piled full from
floor to ceiling, however, this new addi
tion hold. on!y 20,000,(XK) ounces. As
silver bullion i being poured jnto the
Philadelphia Mint at the rate of 3.KOO,

or six months when another new vault
must be built when the purchase of ths
white metal is stopped.
Secretary Carlisle is leaving nothing
undone to guard the country against the
calamity of a visitation by cholera the

way to minimize the chances of cholera
infected jiersons and goods getting
aboard American-bound vessels at Eu

any reappearance of the disease in the

eating a desire to look tint tor his K-rson-
al and family interests nrsi oi an, ins
recommendations had U-en much
weakened. Next, he took a western con
gressman's breath away, when as a
i-linching argument in iaor oi an mj.-
nointment to an office of one ol his con
stituents he said: "And he is a relative
of yours, Mr. president., by saying:
"That settles it. No relative of mine
shall le appointed to oilice by me."
He then gave that congressman a short j
but comprehensive lesson on the evils, of I
.. i . . : 1 1
nejolism, which it is saie to say ise :n
never forget if he lives a century. It is
also safe to say that the head of the
aforesaid slimy serpent will not le reared
in any of the executive departsinenLs of
the government for four years to come,
all of which is a decided gain for ttie
country.
The executive departments are Ix ing
put upon a Democratic basis as rapidly
as possible, and Republican chiefs of
bureaus ami divisions are lieing succeed
ed by Democrats as fast at the heads of
the departments can select the new otli
cials. Democratic economy is also lie
ing put into practical ojwration. Fol
lowing Secretary Morton's order dismiss
ing all of the suierfluous employes of the
department of agriculture, cainean order
from Secretary Carlisle to the division
chiefs of the treasury department, order
ing the immediate dismissal of every em
ploye not atisolutely essential to keep up
the work of the department. The Dem
ocratic administration was voted into
power to red uce the extravagant exjx-ndi

the wishes of the voters shall be carried

Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Maxwell, the gentleman who will wield
the axe made famous by Vice President
Stevenson, is on deck and already bard
at work. There are several thousand
resignations of fourth-class postmasters
on hand, and these will le disposed of
before be !egins the work of removing
Republican postmasters.
Siteakiug of postmasters, Postmaster
General Hissell stated to a delegation of
Missouri congressmen that the jiohey of
the department concerning apiointmcnts
had been misrepresented by a certain
class of newspafiers. In the first place,
it had been stated by these uewspapers
that the recommendation of congress
men would count for nothing. As a re
futation of that statement the fact was
pointed out that not a single jxistmaster
ha'd yet iieen appointed w ho did not have
the endorsement of his Congressman.
While not disjxsed to ignore the Con
gressmen, Mr. Bissell said that the ques
tion of who should lie Msimaster should
in a measure at least, le decided by the
people of the locality, who were more di
rectly interest.il than anyone else, and
that the w ishes ot the people, w hen ex
pressed, would certainly le considered
in ma'cing the appointments. Nobod
is to be ignored; what the department
wants is the co-ojeratioii of both Un
people and the Congressmen in the se
lection of such Mist masters as will in
crease the efficiency of the ostaI service.
Mr. Bissell also denounced as false tin
statements that omen and edilms arc
to !e discriminated ugaiust in the sell c
tion of jH'stmasters.
The iiiiiiiUt of nominations s nt to
the Senate this week is considerably
ahead of any other single week. There
have necessarily Ix-en some ersonaI dis
ap(oinlmcnts. but with the exception oi
the nominations of Burke and liawkin
to be U. S. Attorney and Marshal for
Indiana, over which there was a little
Hurry, no adverse criticisms have U-en
made of any of them by IVmocrais.
The Jemocratio caucus decided to
elect the ollicers of the Senate at the
present extra session, and nominated ex
Congressman E. M. R. Cox, of North
Carolina, for Secretary ; Richard J. Bright,
of Indiana, for Sergeant at Aims, and
Rev. W. H. Milburn, the blind preichor
who has been Chaplain of the Hons,
for several terms, for Chaplain. The
Republicans threaten to rt sort to tiliibus
tering to prevent an election of these of
ficers, but it is believed that they are
only making a bluff to enable them to
keep as many Republicans in the sub
ordinate txisitions as jxissible.
Senator Harris, of Tennessee, has l-en
elected President pro tempore of the Sen
ate, but as Vice President Stevenson
gives evidence of his intention to stick
more closely to his duties than his pred-ec-ssors
have usually done he will not
be called on to preside over the Senate
very often. S he w ill enjy the honor,
which is fully deserved, without having
todo much extra work. There is no
truth in the report that Senator Harris
and the President had quarreled.

Washington, March 23. The num

showed no diminution from previous
days within the past two weeks. But
little was said to the President concern
ing his noted rules. The no reappoint

one, and in it the greatest interest is
manifested. From what Mr. Cleveland
lias sai.l it is understood not to apply iu
certain cases, as follows:
To those who have no opiosilion for
reapMiintineht.
To those candidates for postmaster
shiiS who have opxisition but are in
dorsed almost unanimously by citizens
of their city or tow n.
To those who were removed by the
Harrison administration without serving

To those who were nominated for of

lose her w ay in this labyrinth of novelies

McDowell Fashion Journals are tireciscly
a sure companion, for thev contain the

In sill linos of business there are houses whirl. p
the at-e; whose systems nnl rit;s Wome thi
stand .mis atler wli'u Ii others opy. In the Clothing
World Woolf's set the pace. Our system and prires
have greatly beuefitteil the customer, and for ye.irs
p.vst there has heen a marked decline in price, lint
the rreat advantages of a hi? business enables us t.
keep always to the front. The lines ol strictly all
wool rSuit-H. that we are showing at
IS, IO,$12, nml
are niurh better than yon will get elsewhere fur
those figures. The extra fine ones at $ 18, f'ju
and 22 may well be termed "Hieh dress at mil
erate rust." Our l!oys' and Children's Depart tii.-nt
is aLso the standard, and Wool fa llest Made (.lothin
for the little folks means exquisite style, moderate
co.st and real strength.
