' Bonlleman to oxplaln to his constituents hli reasons for Iho non-fulfillment of his promlsa. A new complication ha3 recently developed In Republican politics In this St lie. The lines had been drawn or a hand-to-hand fight between the two famous bosses, Col. M. Quay and C, X.. Magcc. Magee had beeu pressing as hti representative Mr. James A. Mc- DtvM of Lancaster. McDevltt lived In Allegheny county until two years ago, Magco got the nomination for State Treasurer from that county. Tho Con etltutloh prohibits the rc-electlou of the .Treasurer, and tho unwritten law of the party is against the nomination of the candidate twice In succession from the sarao county. Magee accordingly ship ped McDewltt to Lancaster, so as to nuke him available this year, and had set his heart on the little scheme. When Quay's, namo was announced, evidences were at once shown that the Magco for;es would be stampeded unless ho could get a stronger candidate than Mc Devltt. He accordingly began casting about for such a man, and It Is now positively as3srted by a close friend that .ho ha3 discovered h'm In the person .of t'w millionaire oil prince, State Scnitor Lewis Emery. Jr. Emery has ambition, popularity, and means, and, tt Is said, has consented to enter the fightwlth a dctcrminatlonio win.

There will be a rise In the prices of all kinds of property, or, at least, a cessa tion of the continued fall which for the last five years has checked new enter prises, and thus capital will be encour aged to begin making those Investments on which labor depends for employ ment. . ' Wo await the event with curloslty,but without the least apprehension. Broapriin's New York Letter. Special to tho CAimox Advocatt. The curtain has fallen, the drama has ended, and most of our favortto actors havo "skipped by the light of the moon." As I prognosticated a few weeks ago, Sir. Steelo Mackayc's new Lyceum Thcatro Is the deadest of all financial failures, and the stockholders who wcro expecting 100 per cent, dividends, ilnd the balance on the wrons side of the ledger. Mr. Mackayo is like that mem ber of Parliament, who, after sitting twenty years in tne jiouso or uommons, started up one day, electrified his fellows with ono of the most brilliant speeches ever delivered before that body, then subsided Into bis scat an 1 never spoke again. With the slns-lo exception of "Hazel Klrke," Mr. Mackayo has been a mo9t lamentable failure. How ho could ever have Induced a lot of smart business men to invest $SCO,000 In his Utopian scheme, is an unfathomable mystery. But their money is in there and it looks now as though It might re main mero tor somo time to come, rue object of the Lyceum, as joti are doubt less aware, was to train actors for the stage. It was a sort of dramatic college, whose diploma was supposed to be a carte blanche to any theatre In tho land. Dramatic dudes and dudlncs. dvlnc for a first appearance, paid their three or nvo Hundred dollars for a thorough dramatic education, and I havo yet to learn that thcro was ono person connect ed with the board of management that know how to act himself or who could have Instructed a supernumary to carry off tho bier of a dead hero. At any rate the thing was a dead failure and the stockholders are now called upon to pay tho piper. Colonel Mapleson and his song-birds have departed. Thcro was a wonderful difference between his exit last week and tho manner In which he got out a year ago. The. fact Is, that tho gallant olonel of Her Majesty's Contingent, is Irrepressible as well as irresponsible: so well Is he understood by the great body of opera singers, that when ho goes to engage a star he lias to go with the col lateral In his jacket. Your song-bird knows her value: her notes are' bank notes; business is business with her, and when the lmnressarlo asks her to slntr. she answers by saying, "Mon chcr im pressarlo, how much money have' you not about your clothes?"

Nothing has occurred for years that has caused such a pro found sensation. The feeling Is general that the time has come when It Is neces sary to weed the pojlce.

As an evidence of the danger of roller skating, aside from tho deaths that havo occurred from ovcr-excrtlon, tho other ntghl at one of the Brooklyn rinks, a beautiful young lady fell, cutting open the side of her face, disfiguring her nose and ruining herself for life. When she fell the whole crowd behind her piled on top of her and aside from her other Injuries she was nearly suffocated. Roll6r-akat-inz got a black eye as well as the young lady, and we are not sorry for It. A better Illustration of the old adages "marry in haste and repent at leis ure," and "wilful woman will have her own way," has never occurred In my memory, than in the case of Anna Frances of Brooklyn. Like mademois elle Theo's song, she was pretty as a picture, and might have had her pick out of half the young fellows In town, but to the great disgust of her family and friends she went off and married a dwarf with a humn on his back like a camel, and If Miss Frances is to be be lieved, the temper of.a wild-cat and the manners of a brute. At any rate, be fore the honeymoon was over he made It rather warm for his bride; and In her application for divorco she implicates htm with a round dozen, It is evident that the atmosphere of Salt Lake would bo more congenial to his health than that of New York. It is ovident that tho young lady made a great mistake she has found It out rather late; but notwithstanding the cry against divorce, I hope the law will relievo her, so that she may have an opportunity to try the matrimonial experiment over again un der more favorable circumstances. The rush for Europe'is tremendous; the steamships all go full, and places are spoken for weeks ahead. Millions of money made In the United States will be spent abroad this summer, tho high prices of country board makine it less expensive to make a tour of the conti nent of l.uropc, than to go to a fashion able watering place.

At farm houses where they feed you at an expense of a dollar and a half a week they ask you fifteen or twenty dollars; sleep you on a straw bed with cotton pillows, and feed you on fried doughnuts and watered milk. I think the air of Paris or Vienna would agree with me this year, but if I went you would miss your letter from BROADBRIM. FROM WASHINGTON From our Regular Correspondent. Washington, D. C, May 10, '85. There is music in the air for President Cleveland and his administration. The clans are gathering, and It must be con fessed that the outlook bears anything but a peaceful aspect. For several days East a large number of leaders of the lemocracy have been quietly assemb ling in Washington, and a great deal of speculation lias been wasted as to the subject of their coming. Since their arrival they nave, preserved a mot dis creet and unusual silence. A few have flitted through tho hotel corridors and in and out of tho White House wRli a most mysterious air, and all tho while notmna ot importance came to the sur face, but tho undercurrent was running remarkably strong. Every effect has Its cause, and the trembling of the political waters has but another example of this law. The President it appears, has not been .giving that satisfaction to some of tne leaders they believe to be their rtoht. and while they are in no sense of tho word mere olllceseeuers, they liave friend3 who are.and to horn Sir. Clove. land has persistently been turning a very frigid shoulder. It is to show him the errors of his ways, and to convince him that tho straight and narrow path of Jacksonlan and Jeflersonlan Democracy to the proper road for tho pressure of tne residential lect that tins gathcrlni has assembled. President Cleveland is earning a great rcputation.for good nature. Especially is mis snown oy ms taKing time when ever po slide to see tho people who merely wish to shake hands with him About two weeks ago ho caused It to bo announced that he would discontinue. because it took up too much time, the practice he had followed since the fourth of March, of seeing on four days In the wcck a none one o ciock visitors who did not call to sec him on business. lie gave the order to the ushers to this ef fect, but the people continued to come anyhow and persisted In asking to see him, so the President who can be so linn in refusing the demands of politici ans when any principle would be violat ed ty acceding to their request, proves to ha to amiable to disappoint those who merely ask a sacrifice of his personal convenience, and he does find the time whenever possible to shake hands with those who want nothing more from him, though oftci) as many as one hundred assemblo for tliat purpose And wait until he comes to them.

Iutligelng over some rubbish at the arsenal the other day, the cross-piece of the gallows upon which Mrs, Surratt was executed in ISU5 came- to Hcht to i awaken some historical recollections of ' that tragic period In the life our country. The opinion that this terrible punish- meut should not have been visited upon this woman under the peculiar circum stances of her connection with the con spiracy to assassinate the President, Is now entertained probably by a largo majority of those who clamored for her blood in tho excitlue time of her trial and conviction by a military commission.

A simple stone with the Inscription "Mrs. Surratt" is all that-marks the spot. There Is no date of birth or death, no Inkling other terrlbh- history, no fulsome epitaph to sound tho praises of friends or relatives. though some kind hand had strown ! some choice flowers upon tho mound. It Is said by thoso who knew Mrs. Surratt well, that she was the kindest of mothers, a most devoted wife, a woman possessed of more than ordinary Intelligence, and wholly incapable of performing the part In the conspiracy which culminated In the death of Presi dent Lincoln, forwhlch herllfewas sacri fice. Be this as It may, It Is not proba ble In this day and generations that the motives and Intentions that actuated her In becoming an accomplice therein, will ct er be discovered.

Just as I thought; tho sale of the horses and equipages of tho Interior Department and the Department of Justice, has been turned to good account In tho purchase by tho President of a magnificent brace of steeds that will prance in front of tho executive coupo with all tho grace and pomposity be coming to a $3,000 turn-out. The Northwestern Rebellion headed by tho half breed Rcll, has had as many oritrlns attributed fo it as did that other littlo rebellion that began with throwing tho tea overboard In Boston harbor. The fact to that Rcll is one of' those reckless and restless adventurers who desire notoriety, and who seizes upon an assumed Imposition upon tho Indians In Manitoba for a pretenso to mako war. Strange to say, however, the British Government to already down on its knees to this unclean fellow, prepared to submit to any humiliation for the sake of saving her troops for other exigencies. New Orleans Letter. From ouit Special Connr-sroNnENT. New Ohleans, May 12, 1885. The great Exposition Is drawing to a close, and exhibitors, with all others who have been connected closely with It for months, will be glad when the cur tain Is rung down. As a financial fail ure, both to the association and exhibi tors, this enterprise must be awarded the grand medal over all its predecessors, although its Importance and grandeur have deserved a better fate. But, while government and exhibitors, and many others, will have derived no immediate returns from it, the former will have been strengthened In the affections of all good citizens, both by reason of Its splendid exhibits and of Its generous liberality In supporting the fair, coming to its relief, especially, when, but forthe second appropriation, there would have been a fatal collapse and failure altogeth er; the latter, or exhibitors, will have so advertised their products as to reason ably expect future returns,, amfc the whole country will be benefitted by the impetus given to southern devclop"ment and industries. Several causes have led to the financial failure alluded to. in the first place the location Is remote from the populous centers of the country, which together with tho severity of the past winter In the north, and tho general business stag nation, kept many people at home, cith er because unable to asanne the expense, or loth to risk tho discomforts necessar ily nttendlng a distant journey. Then tho Exposition was opened before lwas nearly complete, and thousands coming, wcro compelled to go home without hav ing seen tho show. This exasperated them, and their unfavorable reports de terred other thousands from making the visit, and as a matter of fact it was not until somo time In February tliat the fair was considered finished, the Art Gallery being then only thrown open to the public. But perhaps the one single thing that operated most disastrously against the Exposition, was tho utter lack of rapid and comfortable transpor tation to and from tho grounds. Peo ple were; jammed and crowded into one mule street cars, thousands daily being compelled to stand up during a slow trip of five or six miles, the roadways being often blockaded for hours by mired wag ons, or carts,; while it often happened that thousands were delayed for hours before they could get Into the cars at all. This one fact ahd the others mentioned doubtless kept as many as-half a million people from making a visit to the exhibi tion, which In Itself was worthy of all the good tilings said of It. Wo were promised steam car transportation at an early day; the city council promptly granted the right-of-way, tho city papers announced, with a great flourish, that a steam line would be rcady,but for some inscrutamo reason It lias never been built, probably owing to street-car line corporation , Influence, with which the people of this city aro cursed. There Is some talk of reopening the fair next au tumn, but unless transportation to and from the grounds, better than abomina ble one-mule cars, bo provided, a worse failure would follow, as people will not suffer themselves to be Imposed upon a second time.. There arc none that surpass, and but few that equal Oregon's exhibit as rep resenting the developed Interest of that State, and a careful study of tho quality of each branch of the exhibit with a careful comparison leads a person to think tliat thero Is some truth In the theory that the ancient Garden of Eden was located in what Is now the Pacific Ocean, and near the shores of tho land where "rolls the Oregon." Surely "na tures choicest blessing the soil has en dowed" or the magnificent display now on exhibition could not have been pro duced. The viheat Is remarkable Some of It stands 7 feet high. . E. W. Allen, the commissioner, informed me that one sample of this grain averaged 72 busbto to tlio acre. Oats, rye and barley, aro equally luxuriant, and are produced wlrtlout thq assistance of Irri gation. "We have a climate unequalled upon the globe for the production of cereals; steady rains at intervals about the period that the grain Is swelling, fills'out tho heads and produces large plump berries similar to those you see ueforo you, aud raises our Average stat istics to figures tliat aro astonishing and cannot be equalled anywhere upon the globe." remarked Mr. Allen. Even at this late day the fruit . exhibit Is good, which Is proof that the Oregon fruit Is a good keeper. The present display com prises fine pears, apples, prunes, plums, cherries, strawberries, gooseberries, cur rants, etc,, of very fine appeimuce and which have taken medals aud premiums over all In which they have come iu' con test with. It must be admitted beyond a shadow of doubt that Oregon has the largest and best potatoes. The differ ent grades of wool, as g iwn in the State, the clip of which last year was 10,000, 000 pounds, displayed lu an attractive manner; and blankets manufactured from the same wool, aud which aro su perior to any are here to be found. The timber of the State Is represented by some nice polished specimens of wood used In the manufacturing ot furniture, and the lumbering Interests by some very fine sections Of spruce, cedar, hemlock and yellow fir, five sections of the latter representing 200 feet In height before a branch was reached. Mining Is repre sented by coal, copper, Iron, silver clne barand gold, and Is well worthy the at tention of capital and mining men, Ed ucational advancement Is shown by a very creditable exhibit of school work and pictures of school buildings, and the scenery by several Urst-class oil paintings COMPARATIVE WORTH ROYAL tAbsoiuteb ruro.

Ho other article of human food has ever received such high, emphatic, and uni versal endorsement from eminent chemists, physicians, scientists, and Boards of Health all over the world.

A pound can of each powder was taken, tho total leavening power or volumo la each can calculated, tho result being as indicated. Thto practical test for worth by Prof. Schcdler only proves what every observant consumer of tho Royal Baking1 Powder knows by practical experience, that, while It costs a few cents per pound mora than ordinary kinds, it Is far more economical, and, besides, affords the advant age of better work. A single trial ot the Royal Baking Powder will convince any fair minded person ot theso facts. 'While the diagram shows some of tho alum powders to be of a higher degreo of strength than other powders ranked below them, tt Is not to be taken as Indicat ing that they have any value. All alum powders, no matter how high their strength, arc to be avoided as dangerous. and views.

The interesting, the much petitioned and the long delayed anti-dUcriminaticn bill was killed on Wednesday forenoon. It is hard to say just who wus the fault of its defeat. Those who were against the bill nnd who felt in duty to their constituents they should have voted for it, now say it to the fault of Mr. Ilullngs. There is no doubt but that the bill wus too sweeping in its character and the penal clause was especially objectionable. I'll cue objections Mr. Hillings was naked to remove, but lie refused und declared tliut sooner' thun he would change the bill he would see it defeated, which he did. There U a sentiment tliat this bill should have been passed no matter what condition it was in or in what manner it wus drawn up. Tho people look nl ono phase of it which they generally ex press in this way: It is not right for a man to pay more, or as much, to ship Irom llurrisburg to Philadelphia, an I'roni Pittsburg to the same point. On close examination of the bill it is appar ent that to obviate this difficulty was the motive of the parties who drew up the bill, and if this one point ulouc would have been elaborated and so framed into a bill us to meet the npproba'tion of the members it would have passed into a law. Rut the parties who had it in charge did riot continc themselves closely to this one point and hence brought in a bill that was not agreeable to the majority. This bill would have destroyed competition in freight, it would destroy the desire to build competing lines between the same iKjints, the very clement which to the life ol trudc. Will not my readers agree with me that when freight is curried only thirty miles more should be charged in proportion for that distance than when it is carried two hundred? Should not a man pay more when he ships from Harribbnrc to Philadelphia, than when he ships irom Chicago to Philadelphia? It is reasonable to increase the rate us the dibtance decreases und vice verta. All remuneration is regulated according to the size of the contract. A farmer will ask lets per day for a job that will require twenty days hauling than one tliat requires only two uays. tins is true in ull classes ot business und cer. tainly it should not be denied the rail road companies, for if we cripple them we paralyze the industries ol our Stale. in making a statute, the lirsl rule to tic oufccrvcd is the old law, the mischicl ui.d then the remedy. In this uu neither tlie old law nor the mischief have been set forth, therefore, how can they con sistently provide a remedy? The iirst ecctitm ol tills act is the same us tlie iiibt section of Article 17 in the '.'onstitution. Why then enact a law when tlie evil is uireudy provided for in the orgunie law of tlio Slate. So viewing the. mutter on all sides, examining tlie uct und the ar gument, it ia lair to say tliat thu best wuy to disposo of the bill wus to ilelcat it and await another und more compre hensive one to take its place. In connection .with the veto' message regarding the burial of old .veteran ot which 1 spoke lust week, 1 would suy that all the mean, contemptible expres sions used against theUovt-rnor by those who tried und succeeded in pausing it over his veto were unkind aud unjust. A resolution wus introduced in the House ?n Monday evening' by Mr.-llul-ings fixing the hours lor tlio remainder of the session at 10 in the morning, 1 in the afternoon and 7 in the evening, the hours foradjournmcnt were not provided for. The object of this wus to prevent tlie minority fromjilibusterinc: until the tijU for adjournment when they would can (uo oraers oi hid uuy, which meant tlio (iuio for adjournment had arrived, and the members picked up their huts und Jefl. A. great deal of time wus wast ed in this wuy which is now stopped. This hot weather mukes the atmos phere iu the House very bad. The members are very noisy.
