The Treasury Department U in daily
MM-eij.t of letters announcing arrivals of
articles from the court of Europe des
tined for eihibition at the World s Fair.
Among the articles about to arrive are,
in the the language 'of a late letter of
transmittal, the "almot sacred tapes
trie of Windier," that is, some of which
are extremely ancient and valuable.
Sr retarv Hoke Smith has already
eun to carry into effect his policy of
db-pen.-ing with the services of clerk? in
his def-artment appointed for political
reasons. Twenty-nine were dropped
from the Census Bureau rolls on Tues
day, and others are likely to follow. It
i- understood, also, that the clerical force
of the General Land Orfice will goon un
dergo a procure if renovation, after
which s-. me attention ill be given to
the Petition and other bureaus.
The Assistant Secretaries of State
have 1-een directed by .S-cretary Gresham
to examine moie thoroughly than has
ren customary into the personnel of the
Stale Ivpartment with a view, it is un
derstood, of determining the ntness of
employes for the petitions held by them.
According to an orticial, this action has
been taken with a view to weeding out
those who hold their places r-cau-e of
' an amiable tradition," and not because
of any particular ability in the discharge
of their duties.
England and France having raised
their inini-ters to the United Slates to
the dignity of Ambassadors the new
lemocratic representatives of the United
States to UKfe countries will, in accord
ance with a law enacted by the last Con
gress be Ambassadors, instead of minis
ters plenipotentiary, as heretofore.
This ill, of course, add no honor to our
ministers io the eyes of Americans, but
everyone at ail familiar with the cus
toms and usages of European capitals
knows that it will add much to their
prestige abroad.
A dispatch from Paris says: Seventy
deaths have been lecorded at Lorieiit,
near Brest, in the past fortnight from a
mild form of cholera Lorient is noto
rious as a hot ted of fever diseases due
to the alienee of proper drainage. A
slich' epidemic occurred there last No
vember when it was predicted that there
would le a recurrence with hot weather.
The mortality in the garrison has been
very heavy for years. The government
hushed up the present outbreak, but it
is estimated that 200 persons have been
attacked and the disease i still Spread

of the committee on Ways and Means,
who is charged with the preparation of
tariff bills said last week that it would te
imposible for Gngress to enact a new
tariff measure of the kind wanted earlier
than May if the subject were considered
at the regular session beginning in IK
cemlr. An extra session would or
course brine the matter to a settlement
inut h quicker, as it met in advance of
the regular session and would give the
j-ople a fair opportunity to judge of the
measure adopted It-fore the general elec

This year electricity will be applied to
plow, harrows, reapers and mowers, and
almost every piece of machinery Usually
operated by hor-e power. By late im
provements in the storage battery this is
made ppib!e. A five-horse power bat
tery w ill not weigh more than 150 poun.ls,
and w ill propel a reaper for ten hours: or

road, it will la, tivedajs. Steam has
len used to some extent in the west in
plowing, t ut did not prove successful
enough to warrant Jieing continued.
Now electric plows will till the soil. It
looks as though the horse must go.
Is order to rush legislation and proba
bly make final adjournment occur near
the middle of May, the Senate at Har
risburg will begin two feession9 a day
next week and the House may decide to
hold night sessions earlier than usual.
There is a large numler of bills on the
calendars and the consideration of them
in regular order would involve the hold
ing of three sessions a day for the next
three months. Pretty soon the com
mittee on rules will put the pruning
knife to work and many useless measures
so far down on the calendar that they
cannot hope to be parsed w ill be leoped
off.

Recent disclosure? of certain happen
ings in the closing days of the Harrison
administration, says the Pittsburg
are in no way creditable to the late
President and someof his advisers. Mr.
Harrison seems to have feit probably a
not unnatural desire to reward some of
his close personal adherents ; with sach
driblets Of patronage as remained to
him, and he did it in rather a scanda
lous manner. Ex-Senator -Gil" Pierce
of North Dakota was sent abroad as min
ister to Portugal a month or two l-efure
Mr. Harrison went out. He spent some
time traveling in Italy and France, and
his first and only official act in Portugal
was to write a letter of resignation. - The
government had simply paid for Mr.
Pierce's grand tour, with the prer-tige of
a diplomatic position. There were some
other eaes of this kind; but nothing
quite so objectionable as the favors
showered on Mr. "Lige" Halford. late
private secretary. He was made a pay
master in the army over the heads of de
serving officers who haji earned the pro
motion. This could have been excused
as a parting gift of the President to his
frieud on the doctrine that -public orfice
is a private snap," but Jlr. Halford had
himself appointed paymaster to the Ber
ing straits commission in Paris, in addi
tion, at a salary of 115 a day. The da
ties were nominal and the salary liberal;
but it pays the expanses of an ex
tended European trip for the late private
secretary. He gets f 4,000a year as pay
master for the arbitration commission.
Altogether he is drawing more than a
cibinet officer. Other favorites have
been detailed from the offices thev held
at home, and ordered on duty with the
commission at Pari, at the same liberal
pay that Major Halford abc-orbs. They
are drawing double salaries of the most
liberal character for duties that are orna
mental rather than arduous. The same
is said of ex -Secretary of State Foster,
who seems to have appointed himself to
a very lucrative office in connection with
the Bering i-traits commissi n. Secreta
ries Gresham, I-aniont and Carlisle, un
der whose departments these little jobs
have been worked by their predes-
sors, are represented as a goxi deal
embarrassed what to do. Thev wL-h to
avoid ail scandal in connection with the
arbitration, but the abuse seem. too glar
ing to pass by without condemnation.
It is a very prettv sort of -knot-king
down" all around, considering the dig-
nitied positions of those w ho were par
ties to it.
In the last few weeks all the Demo
cratic papers in the county have had
something to say in regard to changing
the system of nominating candidates.
The editor of this paper, as chairman
of the Democratic county committee,
has received numerous letters and has
talked to a number of Democrats
throughout the county, some advocating
a change while others protest against the
idea of holding a special election as ad
vocated in some of the papers, eitres -
ing the opinion that a special election
would lie slimly attended, there being no
candidates to stir up the people and get
out the vote, and the result would not t-e
satisfactory.
There are about a half dozen different
systems, each with friends anxious to
have their system voted upon. There is
the old delegate system, the increased
delegate system, one explained in the
Johnstow n Herald a short time ago and
called the "Cambria system" and there
are one or two ethers not yet perfected
or named but with some patent improve
ment which in the minds of the invent
ors w ill keep any cogs from slipping aod
do the work better than any other. To
put all these systems before the people
and divide the vote would be to continue
the present sslem with ail its evils.
When we consider the further fact
that a special election would cost in the
neighborhood of toOO, with no funds in
the treasury and no definite means of
raising it, we are strongly of the opinion
that the project of holding a siecial
election would be impracticable, and if
held would le unsatisfactory in its results.
We are glad to See the question of A
change discu.- as it will lead to some
change, no matter what, that will I
better for the party than the pi er-ent sys
tem. The Iemovrats in the Houw on Tues
day, says the Harrisburg litri4, tried
hard, but ineffectively, to prevent the
Farr compulsory education bill from
taking another step on its way to the
governor. The only active opposition
to it on the IU publican side was from
Mr. Lytle, of Huntingdon, who made
one of his customary straddling speeches
and then voted in favor of the bill be
cause, he said, his constituents wanted it.
The vote by which it passed the House
finally was 123 to -H.
The Republicans are said to favor the
bill and will endeavor to secure its jas
sage in the House and Senate so as to
put the Governor "in a hole." Two
years ago he vetoed a similar measure
and their plan is to again give him a
chance to place himself on record on
this question, which they assert i popu
lar with the masses.
The bill provides for attendance of
children between eight and twelve years
for sixteen weeks at a school in which
the common English branches are
taught, unlesasuch children are excused
by the school board for satisfactory reas
sons. Assessor are required to make
an annual enrollment of children be
tween these age. In case of neglect to
send children to school the persons of
fending, after notification in writing by
the tretarv of school board and oppor
tunity givea to comply with the require
ments, of the act, shall be liable to a
fine not exceeding two dollars on the first
conviction and rive dollars for each sub
sequent conviction.

Removing a U. S Con-ul ly c:tt.le is
very seldom resorted to by the Ik-part
mentof State, but it wa- done m one
case this week t-y Secretary Gresham.
and the man removed got jn.-t what he
deserved. The rea-m- for Secretary
Gresham's action are in short, as foil. iw. :
In the early part of the Presidential
campaign Wiiiiam K. Sirsbv, of Missis
sippi, was acting as Congressman fat.-h-ing's
private Secreiarv, and taking ad
vantage of his position he ilitreted cer
tain taters containing im;rtant f it-
relating to the Iemo-nt:c plans for the
campaign from the private d-sk -f Mr.
Catching and gave t.'ieii; to Mr. Thomas
H. Carter, chairman of the lb-publican
National committee. In N'lvni.br
last Sjrsby was appointed U. Consul
General at Guayaquil, Ecqua-l.T, a
sition which pays ayear. presum
ably as a rew ard for his treachery to Rep
resentative Cntchings and the lfc-iuOcral-ic
party. At sjn as these facts were
brought to the attention of President
Cleveland and Secretary Greaham srsby
was dismissed by cable, and Mr. George
E. Dibard, of Mississippi, nominated to
the vacancy.
So far from the nomination of Dr.
Joseph S. Senner, of New York, to U
Commissioner of Immigration at New
York, which went to the Senate this
week, having been secured by the steam
ship influence, as Republicans are al
leging, it was made in direct pt -sit i -n
to that influence. The c-otit--t for the
position has U-en quite spirited, there
having been a number of candidates mi
strongly b icked. In order i: ascertain
the Sentiments of the steamship llieu to

Carlisle had a tru-tv personal friei.d

and as soon as his- report was made ti:
nameof every man the stean. ship men
had expressed themselves as l-ing favor
ably inclined towards was stricken from
the list of possibilities.
Secretary Hoke Smith is giving the
bureau chiefs of the Interior lw-j,;irt-ment

As candidates for commi-sieners will

within a few weeks, it is none too early
for the iteople of l--th parties to give their
attention t the matter. The selection
of comj-eteut men is of business; import
ance into which partisan politics euters
verv little. The present constitution
sought to lift the office out of partisan
ship a- much as io-sib!e by providing a
minority representation, and this spirit
can l-e carried out by the jeople them
selves in a broader degn-e to their own
advantage.
Whatever they do with regard to any
other county orfice, they will make a
mistake more serious for themselves than
anyone else if they fail to appreciate the
necessity of wise action in the nomina

for these nominations d-tes not usually

It retains this consistency up to 112 de

The explosion i almost unaccompanied

when the heaviest charges have been
used. The explosion does not hat the
