Of the appointments sent to the sen
ate by President Cleveland, shortly be
fore his term expired, 128 have failed of
confirmation.
The colored divine who furnished the
Bible upon which President McKinley
took the oath of office has filed an early
application for office. l"olitic8 manages
to slip into every profession.
It has not as yet been determined by
Chairman Piogley and his ' Republican
associates of the late ways and means
committee just how much protection
the sugar trust is to have in the tariff ad
justment. But this is a matter on
w hich the committee will have to reck
on with the senate, in which body the
trust has many friends. There is not
the least doubt, however, that between
the senate and the house the sugar trust
will receive ample protection and care.
A Washington dispatch says: All of
ihe otricers of the new cabinet have in
dicated a purpose to go very slowly in
the change of personnel iu their depart
merits. This not very cheerful news to
office seekers has been communicated
directly to many of the aspirants who
have been unable to repress their ambi
tion, and to add to their discomfort it
is intimidated in some quarters that
there are to be a very few changes in
office, save where the incumbent in
sists upon immediate retirement, for
some time to come.
Thk London Daily Chrouiile publishes
a dispatch from Athens saying that
Greece has 00,01 0 troops on the frontier,
and that the Turkish and Greek outposts
are very close in places. For instance
at Arta the Turks hold one end of a
bridge and the Greeks the other. A
Greek general recent! while inspecting
the frontier was captured by the Otto
man patrol, but was eventually rescued
by the troops. The situation on the
frontier, the dispatch says, is a danger
ous one, and little would be required to
set the country ablaze.
The Pennsylvania legislature has been
in session nine weeks, and as yet not a
single bill has been sent to the governor
for his approval. The senate has passed
finally 48 bills and the house 23. The
governor has signed a number of reso
lutions and vetoed two, one being a Cu
ban resolution, which he vetoed because
he had signed a similar one. The other
veto was the resolution that the new
capitol should be built strictly of Penn
sylvania material and by Pennsylvania
labor. It is always remarked that the
legislature in session is the most ineffi
cient and lazy we have ever had. There
is a powerful eight of truth in the an
cient chestnut as applied to the existing
body of lawmakers.
A Washington dispatch says: Postmaster-General
Gary has not yet an
nounced his policy regarding either pres
idential or fourth-class postmasters. Be
fore he comes to a definite decision as
to whether postmasters will be allowed
to serve out their terms he will have a
consultation with the president. As all
presidential postmasters are commission
ed for four years, little doubt is enter
tained at the department that they will
be allowed to serve out their terms 6ae
in exceptional canes, where circumstan
ces may warrant eaily changes. Fourth
class postmasters are not commissioned
for four years, but are appointed to serve
at the pleasure of the pcstmaster-gener
al. It is not probable that the changes
will begin until a new fourth assistant
is appointed, at an early day.
After stating, says the Harrisburg
Patriot, that the appropriations of the
Fifty-fourth congress are f 1, 043,437,018,
Chairman Cannon, of the appropriations
committee, says, "the appropriations
are, in my judgment, in excess ef the
legitimate demands of the public ser
vice." Mr. Sayres, of the minority of
the same committee, makes the total ap
propriations of this congress $34,H7,
S12 in excess of the Fifty-third con
gress; $16,032,470 over the Fifty-second
congress, and 7.757.W8 in excess of
the Ffty-first congress.
It was the Fifty-first congress that be
gan the "Billion Dollar Country" style
of extravagance in appropriation, partly
to get rid of the surplus in the treasury
which bad for a long time been a heavy
argument against high tariff. Any
thing and everything that asked money
got it and pensions were given a new
boom. These extravagances not only
cleaned out the treasury but, with other
extravagances, saddled the Democratic
congress with fixed charges which could
not be reduced nor left unpaid. Mr.
Cannon, in his remarks on the appro
priations, endeavors to add to the Demo
cratic figures he quotes in various ways,
but he says nothing about expenditures
compelled by previous Republican legis
lation. The Republican congress has gone to
utmost limit in spending the people's
money and is floundering about for ex
cuses. A billion dollars is an ou'ra
geous sum of money to be spent by one
congress in an endeavor to show that a
certain tariff law does not produce de
sired revenue. It is shameful extrava
gance for a more shameful purpose,
with all the fixed charges created by a
Republican predecessor the Democratic
congress showed how economy was
practical and it practiced economy.
There was i o hing to preveut the Ffty
fourth congress doing the sam thing,
that is nothing which a patriotic con
gress would find preventive. But the
Fifty-fourth had something beside econ
omy in view. There is a high, tariff bill
to be passed and the necessity for it
must t made somewhat apparent. The
people are being robbed lo glut the ra
pacity of the Republican machine.
Notwithstanding the fact that libel
suits have been brought against Rev.
Dr. Swallow, of llarrisbnrg, editor of
the rtnnstilmnia Mtlhwlist, by cer
tain state officials, there is much un
easiness in official circles over the out
come. There is a growing fear that Dr.
Swallow knows more than has been gen
erally anticipated. It is rumored that
private detectives had been quietly at
work for some time and that Dr. Swal
low only formulated and made public
his allegations after he felt confident of
his position and in expectation of ac
tions for libel. Instead of recanting or
showing a disposition to modify his
charges, Dr. Swallow has practically re
peated them as strongly, if not strong
er, than before in an open letter to Gov
ernor Hastings, published last week.
Dr. Swallows' allegations,, which he
said he was ready to substantiate by
evidence, and which the actions for li
bel will require him to do, if he can,
are in substance as follows: That per
sons have been paid money out of the
state treasury who rendered no service
to the state: that persons who did ren
der service were asked to sign receipts
for two, three and four times as much
money as they received; that new metal
furnishings have been paid for by the
state and the old furnishings cleaned
and made to personate the new ones;
that articles furnished the soldiers' or
phan schools cost the state eight fold more
than reliable bidders asked; that repairs,
changes and alterations in the capitol
buildings, grounds, executive mansion
and Grace Church (where the legislature
now meets) cost the state many thous
ands of dollars more than they should
have done, and that the money did not
go to the persons furnishing the mate
rials and labor; that there "is convinc
ing evidence of criminal carelessness and
neglect on the part of state house cus
todians, and, presumptive evidence of
criminal intent" in the destruction by
fire of the state capitol building; that
valuable furniture and furnishings
bought for the state are now in use in
private homes without any compensa
tion for the same having come to the
state.
On Saturday President McKinley is
sued a proclamation calling congress in
extra session on Monday March 15th.
The proclamation is as follows:
"Whereas, public interests require
that the congress of the United States
should be convened in extra session at 12
o'clock on the 15th day of March, ISH7,
to receive such communication as may
be made by the executive.
"Now, therefore, I, William McKin
ley, president of the United States ot
America, do hereby proclaim and de
clare that an extraordinary occasion re
quires the congress of the United States
to convene in extra session at the capi
tol in the city of Washington on nhe
15th day of March, lS'.t?, at 12 o'clock
noon, of which all persons who shall at
that time be entitled to act as members
thereof are hereby required to take notice.
"Given under my hand and the seal
of the United States at Washington on
the (th day of March, in the year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and
ninety-seven, and of the independence
of the United States the one hundred
and twenty-first.
The Crop report of the department of
agriculture, based on returns from three
independent sets of regular correspond
ents, added to several thousands from
mills and elevators, all carefally com
bined and weighed, relates principally
to the distribution of principal grains.
The stocks remaining on farmland the
proportion of merchantable and unmer
chantable grain in the hands of farmers,
including amounts remaining over from
previous years, are included in the esti
mates given.
The corn on hand is estimated aggre
gating 1,C4,CKX1,(M0 bushels against 1,
072,000,000 in March, 1G. Both the
proportion and the quantity in original
hands at this date are unprecedented,
although closely approached last year
and in March, 1SP0. The wheat re
serves in farmers' hands amount to 20 G
per cent, of the crop or 88,000,(100
bushels against 123,000,000 bushels last
year. Of this amount 3 per cent, is re
ported as coming over from previous
cror. Of oats there are 313,(H0,(HX
bushels or 44.2 per cent, of the 18VG
crop yet in farmers' hands.
Tue house of representatives passed
without amendment and with only 20
minutes to each side for "debate" the
sundry civil appropriation bill, carrying
50,G44,743. .
Fifty millions in 40 minutes!
But extravagance is not the worst fea
ture of the bill. It is loaded down with
jobbery. Every public building and
river and harbor grab that the commit
tee dared to adopt including more than
$7,000,000 for states represented by
members of the committee was put in
to this bill. It was openly asserted
upon the fioor, and by a Republican
member, that these items were tacked
on to a general appropriation bid in or
der to avoid a veto.
Some time this country will have a
president possessed of sufficient courage
to veto every general appropriation bill
that comes to him freighted with log
rolled schemes of jobbery and plunder.
Until then, apparently, the people must
put up with billion dollar appropriations
in the face of a $50,000,000 deficiency.
Since President William McKinlev
has unpacked his grip sack in the white
house at Washington, wage reductions
in Pittsburg and its vicinity have been
announced as follows:
National tube works, McKeesport,
employing 5,000 men. Pennsylvania
tube works. Pittsburg, employing 1,000
men. Standard manufacturing com
pany. Allegheny, employing 500 men.
Keystone rolling mill, Pittsburg, em
ploying 300 men. The reductions aver
age 10 per cent.
Washington Letter.
Washington, February 5th, 1897.
The inauguration of the millionaire's
president was puiled off iu a manner
gorgeous enough to be in keeping with
cost of electing him. which is said to
have exceeded $16,000,000. Everything
was conducted on the most lavish scale,
from the personal escort f om Cleve
land, Ohio, with their black horses, for
which $10,(100 was spent, to the ten
thousand electric lights of variegated
colors used in illuminatiug the costly
decorations for the inaugural ball iu the
big court of the Pent-ion building. I"
was a millionaire's event from start
to finish, and the ta'.k of the million
aire's agent, otherwise known as King
llanna, indicates that it is to he a
millionaire' administration, notwith
standing the platitudes of McKinley's
inaugural address Never before were
there so many private railway cars in
Washington at one time and never be
fore was so much money spent at and
upon au inauguration. It is very evi
dent that the millionaire's expect Mc
Kinley's administration to briiig them
prosperity, whatever it may do for the
poor. When they invest their money
they always expect, and they usually
get. return in dollars and cents.
Hon. Wm. J. Bryan, who spent two
days in Washington this week, divided
his time tetween conferences with lead
ing Democrats and social intercourse
with hi3 extensive circle of personal
friends, but declined to remain for the
ina iguratiou of his successful rival,
said to those who proffered him their
support for 1V00 that he was not think
ing so much about the next presidential
campaign as about the condition of the
people, between now and then. He al
so expressed his sincere regret that the
promises "McKinley Prosperity" had
not come to the country. It is a re
markable fact about Mr. Bryan that his
hold upon Democrats has increased since
his defeat, instead of diminishing, as is
usual in the cafe of defeated candidates
of all parties.
The silver men are not surprised at
the failure of the Fifty-fourth Congress
to admit Arizona, New Mexico and Ok
lahoma as states, and they expect no
better from the Ffty-fifth Congress, as
the edict has gone forth from the Re
publican l)sses that none of the territo
ries shall be admitted, because it is
known that they would all .send silver
senators. But the silver men expect to
control the house that will le elected in
NovemberlSOS, and as they will cer'ain
ly retain control of the senate, to have
the territories all admitted to statehood
before the opening of the campaign of
H00.
Ex-Postmaster General Wilson left the
fraud charges again St. John Wedder
burn it Co. and the National lWonhr,
their paper, which were filed with the
post-office department a few days ago
by fifty-five of Washington's - leading
patent lawjers, to te acted upon by his
successor. The head of the;firm of Wed
derburn & Co., is the man who started
the Examiner Claims Bureau and the
Press Claims Co., both of which, during
their existence, had extensive dealings
with newspaper publishers and figured
in suits in court.
Senator Teller thus stated his opinion
of the relations of Mr. McKinley to
ward the monetary conference bill,
which passed with the house amend
ments: "If the new president has any
sympathy for an international agree
ment, it must le judged from his votes
in the house, and not from anything he
has said since his nomination, for, ex
cepting the prefunctory acceptance of
platform, his every utterance has indica
ted that he has gone over to the gold
standard, and will remain there "
Senator Tillman was the central figure
in the most dramatic incident of the
closing week of congress. He charged
in impassioned tones that the two cor
porations which have a monopoly of
making armor plate for the government
have agents in the senate and when Sen
ator Hawley, of Conn., protested against
the charge he repeated it, and intima
ted very plainly that Hawley whs oue of
the agents. There was a time when
such a charge would have resulted in
trouble outside of the senate chamler,
but senators no longer fight with any
other weapons than their tongues.
Mr.. Cleveland vetoed the immigration
bill, on the ground that it was a depar
ture from our national policy that
would impose hardships upon deserving
people. The house passed it over the
veto, but the senate did not try.
It is noteworthy that the harshest
criticisms of the manitiest weakness,
both from a business and political point
of view, of the men in McKinley's cab
inet, have come from those who are
classed asiRepublican leaders. Of course
this criticism is as yet only privately ex
pressed, but it indicates that unless Mc
Kinley walk the chalk line he will soon
find himself confronted by formidable
Republican opposition.
Mr. McKinley's little bluff about not
taking up the question of appointments
for a month or so, intended to keep
some of the office seekers away from
Washington, did not work worth a cent
They have turned up in swarms and are
making things lively for King llanna
as well as for Mr. McKinley. The only
prosperity they see ahead lies in the pub
lic trough." .

lather's Futile Heroism.
Millville, N. J., March 7. The littl.
village of Bivalve is in mourning today
over the shocking death of a 4 year-old
daughter of Elihu Reed aud the destruc
tion of his home by fire last night. Mr
Reed's three child ren wer"! playing
around a table when accidentally knock

whole building was in llames. The
father was lying on a sofa and quickly
jumping up he carried two of the chil
dren to the yard, but when he rushed
back for little Bertha the whole build
ing was crackliug and the little child,
whose screams could le heard, perished
in the fire. When she screamed "Pa
pa," Reed, with a burned face and
hands, rushed in the burning building,
but by the quick assistance of neighbors
he, too, was saved. Wringing their
hands, father and mother nearly went
wi'd with grief. Little Bertha was one
of the favorite children in the village
and was considered very bright for her
'ge. The blackened lones of the little
one were found in the ruiu6 this morn

Carabelle, Fla , March 8 It is
learned to-night on good authority that
the Cubans got ahead of Uncle Sam af
ter all and that a big load of arn-s and
ammunition escaped the watchful eyes
of the cruisers, getting off under their
very noses. The story is that a vessel
was loaded with baled cotton, the arms
oeing concealed in some of the bales,
which were hollow, and under them.
The vessel was stopped in the gulf by a
cruiser, but the cargo was so innocent
looking she was allowed to proceed.
It is is said that over 1,(HK) ritles, 750
sabres or machetes, 100,(R)0 rounds am
munition, six cans of dynamite and a
large supply of medicines were in the
cargo. Cubans here are laughing heart
ily over the joke played on Uncle Sam,
but they will not give any further de
tails nor allow name of vessel to le used.

For Wilnmiwi Wanted.
Albany, March 10. The report of
the joint committee on trusts, which
held several sessions in New York city
last month, has been submitted to the
legislature. It notes the fact that a
decision of Judge Swayne on the fed
eral constitution forbids action on the
part of an individual state to absolutely
repress trusts, but the committee ex
press the belief that the attorney gen
eral can, by bringing action before a
supreme court judge, in some respects
remedy existing evils. A bill, which
accompanies the report, grants immun
ity for witnesses who incriminate them
selves and gives the supreme court the
subjxena power.
A bill may be introdued to stop the
