VOL. LXVI. NO GROUNDS RELATIONS FRIENDLY IN THE PRESIDENTS CABINET. Secretary Carlisle Will Remain in the Cab- inet, Not Helpless When Draw- ing nn $7000 Salary. WasHinagToN, July —The old story, started in the first month of the administration, about there being a disagreement between President Cleve- land and Secretary Carlisle as to the financial policy of the administration has been revived and given a new dress, it being stated now that the President intends to use the vaeancy in the Supreme Court to get rid of See- retary Carlisle. Your correspondent can state on the authority of one who knows whereof he speaks that there isn’t the slightest friction between the President and Secretary Carlisle; on the contrary, their relations have con- stantly grown closer as each came to fully understand the mind and dispo- sition of the other, both having found unexpected traits in the other to ad- mire. Secretary Carlisle rightly de- clines to dignify the story by denying it. It is easy to account for the reap- pearance of the story at this time. Exciting political news is very scarce —the calm before the storm is now on —and it was considered by the revamp- er of the story that Secretary Carlisle's appointment to the vacancy in the Bupreme Court was possible, if not very probable, and in case he should be appointed he (the writer) claim credit for having had exclusive | advance official information, and if he wasn’t appointed the story would soon be forgotten anyway. Speaking of that Supreme Court va- cancy, I have just had a talk with a gentleman who is as close to President Cleveland personally as any man in the world on the rumor which has at various times connected the name of three members of the cabinet with the vacancy. He said: “It is very easy for me to tell you why 1 feel certain that Mr. Cleveland will not break into his cabiuet to fill that vacancy, al- though Secretaries Gresham and Car- lisle and Attorney General Olney, all of whom have been mentioned, would either of them make a model Justice on the bench of the greatest court in the world. But that doesn't enter in- to the case at all. Itshould be remem- bered that Mr. Cleveland spent about four months in selecting the members of his eabinet, and that each member was selected with special reference to the work that Mr. Cleveland expected | that particular department over which he presides to do towards making his administration a success, Now then, is it a reasonable supposition that be fore the new machinery has fairly got to going Mr. Cleveland would even en- tertain the idea of changing any one of the men he had so carefully selected to another position, however much honor there might be for the individual in the change ? T think not. I should much sooner expect to see the Senate invaded than the cabinet, to fill this vacancy.” Commissioner Lochren isn't worry- ing over the fuss that is being made because of the suspension of the pen- sion of Justice Charles D. Long, of the Bupreme court of Michigan. He says he has no apology to make and that Judge Long in making application for his pension alleged that he was totally helpless, and that he is now drawing a salary of $7,000 a year, which shows that he isa long ways from being to- tally helpless, and that the case isa proper one for investigation, Secretary Carlisle nailed another misstatement when he said that neith- er himself nor any official of the Treas. ury Department was engaged in the preparation of a tariff bill, and that neither he nor the President had ever contemplated such a thing. Treasury officials are preparing information on the subject which will be placed at the disposal of the House committee on Ways and Means when it begins work on the tarift bill. An attempt was made to make it ap- pear that the acting Director of the Mint had done something extraordi- nary in refusing to pay more than the Loudon price for silver bullion and there was for a while a lot of wild talk ahout bringing *‘the usurpation of au- thority’ to the attention of Congress, indulged in mostly by republicans who didn’t care a rap about silver but thought they saw in the incident an opportunity to embarass the adminis. tration, The talk was stopped as sud- denly ns it began, for alittle investigs- tion brought out the fact that in 1878, when John Sherman was Secre of the Treasury and under the Bland act, then just gone into effect, was com- pelled to buy $2,000,000 worth of silver a month, for coinage, he not only re fused to pay more than the London price, but when American holders of silver refused to sell at that price, Le actually bought more than $5,000,000 0 le could | THE NEW I ROAD LAW, Practioal Measures that Will Result in Re form, The road law passed by the last leg- islature and signed by Gov. Pattison, is regarded as a practical measure, one, it is thought, which will result in a reform in the matter of road making, in some of the districts at least, throughout the country. By this act the tax-payers of any township or roed district are cnsbled to contract for making the roads at their own ex- pense, and paying salaries of town- ships or road district officers and there. by prevent the levy and collection of a road tax in such townships or road district. The process by which thisright is to be acquired is as follows: Any one or more taxpayers desirous of acquiring the said right shall, before the begin- ning of any township fiscal year, pre- sent to the court of quarter sessions of the county in which said right is de- sired, setting out that he, she, it, or they are the owners of property assess. ed for road purposes in said townships or road districts, the number of miles of public road in said township or road district and the desire and abili- ty of the petitioner or petitioners to lay out, open, make, amend and re pair she public highways and bridges of said township or road district whol- ly at his, her, its, or their own expense for the ensuing township fiscal year, | and to pay the other expense of said township without any right against or labor, or money furnished. The work is to be done under the direction of the supervisor, who is re- quired to view and inspect the mak- ing and repairing of the roads in his district at least once during every month and be fully satisfied that the petitioners have fully complied with their contract, and for this service the of $480 per year. It likewise will be the duty of the at any time he sees the road needs re- pair, and if they fail to repair the road chase such materials and employ such men as may be necessary to repair said roads and charge the same to the contractors. In addition to the salary provided for to be paid to the supervisors for su- pervising the work the petitioners or contractors will be required to pay to the township clerk $50; to each of the township auditors $25; to the town- { ship attorney $50 and to each super- visor $250. They will also be required to execute a bond in a sum equal to $500 for each and every mile of public | road in said township with sureties conditioned for the faithful perform- ance of their trust. The practical effect of the bill will be felt more particularly in the town- ships in which the greater amount of the taxable property is held by one or more persons or corporations and sub- sequently pay the most of the tax as- sessed, which in too many instances goes to other purposes than that of the repair of the streets, It is believed that the corporations will willingly embrace the opportunity of freeing themselves from the heavy road tax generally levied, by undertaking to keep the streets in proper repair, and it will be the mission of the supervi- sor to see that it is done properly. He Gets Over $30,000, There is a general idea that the pres. ident’s salary of $50,000 a year is all that he receives, and that compared with the salaries of his clerks and sub- ordinates is small indeed. His private secretary has $3250; his assistant secre- tary, $2,250; the stenographer gets $1,800; each of five messengers $1,200; the steward $1,500; each of two door- keepers $1,200; while other employes are paid in proportion, down to the man who takes care of the fire, who receives $864. In addition $8,000 are allowed for incidentals, such as sta- tionary and carpets; $12,500 for repairs and furnishing; $25,000 for fuel; $4,000 for the green house, and $15,000 for the stable, gas and other incidentals, the country over $125,000 annually, BL A Kleotrie Bitters.

The average value per acre for ten years of the hay raised in Penn- sylvania was $14, in eotaparison with | $12.66 for wheat, $10.51 for oats, and $16.18 for corn. Taking the entire country, hay stood at $11.08, corn at | $9.47, wheat at $0.65, oats at $8.16, and barley at $12.76. Barley alone, which is limited in production to a compara- tively few states, yielded as much per acre a8 hay. The latter is one of the tracts are being made at $30 a ton in New York for export the farmers may | well smile over the outlook. AL A MSA A Queer Oase, George Fraleigh, while working at haying for William Odell, in Brook. field, one morning last week, lifted a fork full of hay to place it on the load, when he fell to the ground with the bay on top of him. When picked up Fraleigh had hold of a(big black snake, which was coiled about his neck. The serpent did not bite him, but it left a black mark. Fraleigh was disabled from work for the day. The next morning and every morning since, at the same hour that the snake wound itself around the man's neck, he has been taken with choking spasms and fits of strangula. tion and is growing weaker every day. The case is being watched by local physicians, whose efforts to allay his sufferings have, thus far, proved fu- tile. The snake measured four feet three inches. Auditors and Their Pay. The case of Levi H. Tace, auditor, va. the county of Lebanon, in which is involved the principle of the payment of township and borough auditors for attending to their duties at the last spring election was decided by Judge McPherson, of the Lebanon court. His opinion was concurred in by Judge Simonton, of Dauphin county. For holding meetings, for receiving certifi cates of nomination, and nomination papers, hearing objections thereto and withdrawals, and filling out certificates for watchers, the township must pay the auditors, but for arranging ballots, correcting proofs, going to and from the printing office, and distributing ballots to the proper officer of any township, the cost must be paid by the county commissioners, A Recent Discovery, A prehistoric eity, with wonderful stone ruins, has been discovered in the Colorado desert.

Generally, these things are frauds. Their medicines seldom have any curative properties, and are often positively harmful. It is safe to say that not less than $1,500 have been tak en out of Hastings by such fakes in the past year, and for this money our people have nothing in return. All such concerns, which have no perma- nent location and add nothing to the wealth or prosperity of the town, but rather decrease it, should be givena wide berth by all intelligent citizens.

Of more real interest to the average visitor to the World's Fair than all the confusing array of locomotives, cars ships, wagons, bicycles and ve- locipedes in the great Transportation Building is the compact yet compre hensive exhibit which the Pennsyl- vania Railroad Company makes in its own beautiful little model railway sta tion. What with signal tower, over- head foot bridge, automatic switches, tracks, ballast, and ditches just outside its doors, and the original “John Bull” locomotive, the oldest in Amar- ica, with its train of antique cars, and the colossal iron vehicles upon which the huge Krupp guns were conveyed from Baltimore to the Exposition standing in the shadow of its walls, it presents to the passer by an appearance so distinctly characteristic that a care- ful inspection of the treasures of the interior is almost inevitable, Once inside, you enter immediately into a study of transportation history in the United States on the kindergar- ten or object lesson bmsis, and by means of models, ranging from the old Conestoga wagon, through a series of curiously fashioned cars, up to the standard locomotives and passenger coaches of to day, you seeure a most ef- fective idea of railroad progress. Nor do the models here shown have to do with vehicles only. In the cases which line the walls of the cool, white interior are also to be seen models of track of all periods various systems of signals in use at different times, and even tickets and time tables, not for- getting conductors’ punches and lan- terns. In the way of models, the post of honor is given to a magnificent repro- duction of the Pennsylvania Railread Company’s new double deck ferryboat “Washington,” which plies between New York and Jersey City, a model complete in every detail, even to the electric lighting and the rubber mats at the doors. Maps, in relief, of a most interesting and instructive character are numerous, not the least important being one four feet wide by twelve feet long, showing at once the old Portage, the new Portage, and the present road of the company over the Alleghenies, all arranged to a scale, and giving a better notion of that wonderful feat of engineering, the Horseshoe Curve, than can even be had by a trip over it. To furnish a comprehensive idea of the magnitude of the Pennsylvania Railroad systems no better method could have been adopted than that which is here presented in the shape of a perspective map,. thirty three feet long, showing the position of each train in motion on the system at 8 P. M. on Columbia Day, October 21st, 1802, the passenger trains being indi- cated by tiny gilt locomotives, and the freight trains by similar locomotives colored blue. In addition to all this there is case after case of photographs, posters, letters, bills, and other docu- ments, all more or less interesting, and a number of wax figures, clothed in the uniforms of the Pennsylvania's working stafl of employes, from bag- gage porters to conductors, ——r——— A WEEK'S OUTING.
