Philadelphia Uecot.d: RuraoHof an attempt to bring the Reading and Pennsylvania Railroad Companies into harmonlou3 relations, and so prevent any competition between them for the coal traffic, are in circulation. There may be very little foundation for these stories, but in thcsn day) of pools and mergers tho public need not bo surprised at any antics of the railroad managers, llavlug aroused tho southern and cen tral counties by their monopi listlc ten dencies, these companies may bo ex pected to turn to E morn Pen nytvaula to continue their work.

The ill-fecli sg la not merely diplomatic, but seems to be gc ncral among tho Spanish people. King AI phonsu finds himself In a very precari ous position. If ho angers hl3 people too much by concessions to Gcrmanv.ho may lose his crown; If ho persists In a hostile altitude to Get many, ho may In volve his country in a bloody and losing conflict. To preserve peace with ills powerful neighbor, yet retain tho confi dence of his subjects, demand: more than the usual endow iricnt of tact, The German journils do not show a warlike feeling, and there Is no wish apparently on Dlsmarck's part for anything but a friendly term .nation of tho matter.

This declaration has roused great wrath In England, but what .-ould be cxpeetcd? English legislation against Irish Industr'es lnsctu he.l out neatly all but that of making linen, and retali ation would be a natural policy. At the samo time, such retaliation would be the worst thing that the Irish could do. It would not promoto tho welfare of the Irish laborer to ba heavily taxed for tho support of InJu3tries that are not profit- abln. The idea that wo c n all cot rich by taxing one another Is a specious one. but It does not gain ground among la tcllgent voters In any couutry. Codey's Lady's.

In another column of to-day's Auvo der htvuttlsatloa. Largo purchases ot gate will bo found tho proceedings of machinery, 4c, just before Superln- tho DemocratlcConnty Convention, from tondent Snowdcn gave way to Sir. Pox, ! which 11 will boccn that tho gentlemen Democrat, have caused rumors of cor ruptlon to clrculato freely. The Phila delphia Tlmts publlsboil tho following statement Tuesday frem Washington: "There Is no allegation made In any responsible ofllclal quarter that Col. fjiiotvden corruptly prolited by his posi tion as Suporintcudent of tho Mint. Such accusations have been made in tho wldo htlttido that rumors take when partisan or personal hatred come to tho front; but tho Secretary of tbe Treasury has not started any inquiry, hecauso ho believes or expects to establish that Col. Snowden has prostituted his office to personal gal". There is on Invest!-, gitlon going on In tho Philadelphia Mint that was inltiatod by tho old Re publican officials of the Treasury, and that Is now being pressed exhaustively to end profligate abuses which have gradually crept Into the administration of tho Institution. Tho result thus far mora than justifies tholnvcstigatlon.and It will lead to material changes In tho mo'.ho Is of conducting the business and undoubted result in largo savings to tho I OjTj.-nmcnt without In any degree im. pairing thefficicncyof theJIint. Evety co:upblnt that has come to tho Secre tary of tho Treasury about tho Mint has coins from tho officials of tho Treasury, and mainly ftom a Eotvrco not politically antagonistic to Col. Snowden. They cams in tho shape of suegested Inquiries Into apparently excessive expenditures. Into apparent execssivo orders to favo: Hes, and Into tho falluro to havo work dono in tho Mint that apparently should and could havo been thu3 ilono at great ly roducod cost to tho Government. Theso complaint may bo sustained or may not bo suitalned, after complete ln julry, and If amtalnod they may be entirely consistent with Col. Snowdcn'a olHelal integrity. It would bo unjust tn him, tharcf j.-e, to assutuo tin'., because a legltlm ito Inquiry is made Into ap parent extravagance In the management of the mint, ho Is accused of tho corrupt abuso of his position. "Tito Treasury Dopartment is doing in tho Philadelphia Mint jmt what It is doing In all branches of that department, and what the Ai'm'niilratlon is aiming to do in every department of tho Gov ernment. Twenty-four years of unin terrupted partisan power havo made every department of political power ex travagant, and inany.vcry many.Indccd. honeycombed with rottenness. These abuses havo grown so gradually that they wcro hardly perceptible to many who aided to create them; and it is only when tho books come to bo posted and new authority comes Into place that tho agjregate of profligacy and corruption startles tho country. Every day wit nesses tho cutting off of necdlcfs ex penses, an 1 what has been done In the Custom Houses 's to be dono In the Mints. Tho Inquiry Into thpse abuses has brought Col. Sncwdcn under (Ire, and If ho Is clear In his office as his frlcnls ml the public generally believe, he will welcome tho Investigation and acquit himself." EXPORTS FOR THE CURRENT YEAR. Tho volume and value of tho exports from the United States to all foreign countries for tho current year saries little from that of a similar period dur ing 1681. The exports of cotton for tho twelve months ending August 31, amounted to 3,fC3,010 bales, worth S103,4UI,130, as against S.SSO.ISO bales, with an aggregate value of J1D7,74U,0M, for a similar period ending August 31, 1SS4. The ox oris of breadstuffs, mineral oils and provisions arc made up by the Rurcau of Statistics for the eight mont lis ofthecuirent year ending August-31. In tho matter of breadstuffs there has been a decline of between three and four millions during the present year, the exports for the first eight months reach ing only S!)3,2C3,!)38, as against 1)7, C03.175 for tiio s.vne period in 1SS4. Thccxportsof domestic cattle and hogs beef, pork and dairy products for the eight months of tho present year amount to SC-1,217,510, as against $C2,1M7,275 during 1831. Tho exports of petroleum and other mineral oils so far for this year amount to 303,1.03,001 gallons.wlth a value of $31,701,153. Tor tho same period In 1881 the amount was 3o,07S, -107 gallons, worth 530,411,532.

Somo slight objections were offered against tho rcnomlnatlon of Mr. Esscr, on account of tho third term policy, but that, since tho nomina tion, appears to havo blosyn away, and Democrats will no doubt glvo him tho usual compliment of votes svhen they go to tho polls on tho 3rd day of Xovcmber next, remembering only that Mr. Esser is an. earnest, hard-working Democrat and. deserves success. The nominee for Sheriff, Harvey B. Smith, Is a young man resident tn Wcathcrly, and for tho past few years publisher of tho Herald.

Sncclal to tho CAnno.v Advocate. Yacht, Yacht, Yacht; Eucc, Race, Race; Qcucsta and Puritan; Puritan and Gcneata; nothing else to talk about j nothing cUo to think about; for lliii ' week has been devoted to tho races. If you met a man on tho street wIiohc Let ter hulf had narrowly escaped death's ' iloor, and asked him, How's your wife? ho replied, Pretty well, I thank you, but Ihavouu idea the Puritan is going to win. If you went into Wall Street and asked the price of Delaware and Lacka wanna, Western Union or Pacific Mull, the answer would be, Gcncstn Btock is going up,and if you havo anything on tho Puritan you had better sell short. Minis ter tallcod about it to their deacons. Doctors amusod their patients with prognostics of tiio probabilities, us they felt their pulso and compounded pro scriptions. Grave bankers chuttcd about it as they shaved notes and computed discounts. Aud even tho school children took sides, and fought in tho directs for their respective champions. It is sel dom that uny event has calle.1 forth each a stirring international interest. Two little boats havo como across the tca to sco the fun, built exactly on the Gcncsta model, but so small that it al most seems tempting Providence fbrsuch little cocklo shells to go to tea. The two sloops mentioned aro tho Stranger and Iho llccn, each of them very muih smaller than tho crack racer Gcncstn, which was scut here to take back tho America's cup. Many thousands of peo ple are hero from all parts of tho coun try, and all tho hotels, clubs and public places wero filled with importing men; hut whilo thero wcro plcntv of sports and men with pronounced opinions nobody seemed to have any money to bet. As the uli'air turned out it was just as well, fur it is bad enough to be beaten witlaut losing your cash. Tho opening day, though fine ns silk for a lady who had n little shopping to do, was nut worth a pinch of snuff for a yacht race. Yet llieasscinbliigeof yachts was ono of the grandest marine sights ever seen on this continent. Tho post ponement fell like a wet blanket, but the announcement of the start on Tuesday filled everybody with new hope. The unfortunate collision of the two racers just ut the moment when till wete look ing for n splendid race, filled everybody with disgust, and nothing but the fear of shcol prevented mo from using sonic very profane language; but if I didn't, there were lots that did, tho captain ol the Puritan coming in for the lion's share of tho "cussiu." If this contest has had m other cliect, it has brought together one of tho mott magnificent tlcets ever seen in American waters. In the greatest contests of the past our rich men had not taken to yachting. The stately Nourm.ihal, the Nounioiina, the Atlanta and u host of others had not yet been built. The Attorn, tiio Go-Ids and the Jalli cys were deep in their stock books and ledgers, and it was nut con sidered the proper thing for it business nun to have anthing to do svilli racing yachts or fast horses. Now every fasl. ionablu minister has his pair of high steppers; and on the first day of the rate it svas said that the portly form of Ply mouth s elnqi.cnt pastor was seen on the ipiaitcr deck ol Norman Monro's beauti ful yacht Norma, and he svas ly no means the sole representative of the cloth. It was an open course, a good, fair, manly competition, mid tlic loser has the consolation of knosviug that, if lie has been beaten, hardly aiuther vessel lloals the sea that could do it. A pronounced sensation of tlic week was the labor demonstration of Monday. There is ouo peculiar feature about all the iaboi demonstrations that have ever taken place in New York, aud that is, that, while blatant orators svere trying to persuade the wage-workers and bread svinueis that they are ilown-troddcu and oppressed, there is no country on this planet which turns out such a well dressed and well fed body of working puoplc. It is estimated that there were 12,000 people in the procession. The lime of these would average tun dollars a day. Tiio musie cost about $.'1,000; horses and carriages, oinuibiisses, etc., $1,500; banners and paraphernalia, $1,000; aud euih man averaged for his personal expenses of transportation aud the amusements of the nl'lcrnnnu an 1 evening at least two dollars more bo that the entire expense of this paraiU lias ei st the !ul ring men not less than li.ty thousand dollars. The men who can a fiord to throw away this ast sum of money on a parade tun not Le sullir lug very ninth. As u I'iinir, mid a jolls good time, it whs a success. Daring 'hi' altcriioon ami evening all the outside parks and Leer gardens wcie fi ll; l.eer dossed like water; everybody scuned happy as they louvcrsitl on the events ot the morning. They were as lnio looking u body uf men as ono could svish to sec It was a grand advertisement of tlic possibilities of the working-man, but as nil exhibition of ihe down. trodden and oppressed it svas a lamentable fulli.ro. Dan lies' and brainless finds bat e flour ished in all ages, there Is no act of par liament or constitutional proviticn against them. Reuu liriinnnell and lieaii Nash are historical characters. In our own country licau Hickman and Dandy Murks, svere well kuosin to our fathers forty or fifty years ago. .Since the death of Dandy Marks which took place in 1844, Nesv York lias had no regular pronounced type of the dandy till the advent of Berry Wall, who for the past three years was knotvu as the King of the Dude. Three years ago his father die.), und a brainless donkey svho had never been taught tn do any usciul thing suddenly found himself in possession of $J00,000 in hard cash. The world was all before him; he started oi t to mako a sensation, und he succeeded beyond his most sanguine expectations. No such gorgeous vision had ever as. tonished the eyesof Nesv Yoikcrs before, It was imiossiblc to describe his dress, for he svas net or dressed twice alike. One morning as I stood in front of the Bruussvick, Berry Wall und a half-dozen I friends were taking u stroll up the i iflh 'avenue, or in other words, giving the ladles u treat. His shoes were sharp pointed, patent leather tucs, with yellow 1 taps; bis pants were light said fitted like an cclekln; his vest was striped, his ncck-tio red, his collar was high, and was a straight baud around his neck: his , coat was dark, and of the bobtitllcd or-, dcr; his hat was enormous it was aj Bhlny bell with abioad curled brim. In one hand lie curried a cudgel that wciglitd five or six pounds, and with the other ho , led a dimltiutlvo dog by a pink silk rib-1 bon, and lie occasionally pulled a vciy! small cigarette. For tlirco years this worthless dude has painted the city Ver million. He seemed anxious to mako tho acquaintance of jockeys, prizes-fight ers and gamblers and whenever un ex tra mill was tn take place, Berry Walt invariably got tho tip. He has had tho satisfaction of seeing his naino in tho papers in connection with the sit of his coats und tho number of his pants, which was said to exceed 500. Absurd as this ridiculous and brainless young mnu made himself, ho found plenty of young ninnies ready to imitate him. The set of his pants and tho style of his neck tics became matters of paramount impor tance; what Berry Walt said, and what Berry Wall did svas qnolol us if uttered by an oracle. In a fesv svetks Nesv Yirk will puss him in the Rtreet; fesv will know him none will notice him; there will scarcely bo enough left of this des picable Dude to asraken a respectable contempt. Aud so passes out cf our life one who in tlirco years has spent a large fortune, wliiih gave him an opportunity for a great and noble life, a lifo of use fulness, a life of honor, but he chose tlic fool's part and like a fool ho perishes. For many years ss'C have had religious conventions of various kinds here, und tho annual conventions of the Quakers held here in the montli of May was ono of the most notable ufiairs of tlic season. This year, however, marks it nevr era in our religious experience, for it is the first timo that sve havo cs-cr bad a distinc tively Catholic convention of any con siderable proportion. During the pres ent week the German Catholics of the United States have been holding u con vention in our sister city of Brooklyn, unit it is probably one of the strongest and most influential bodies ever I rough! together in this country. A process ol thorough organization is now going on in es cry State of the Union, which augurs well for tho furturc success of the churth. Whilo the clergy uid it by every means in their posver, the heavy work is throw ii into the hands of laymen; they arc en couraged to come forsvunl. and young men' particularly are enlisted in tho svork. Such thoroi-gh and perfect or ganization cannot but tc of immense ad vantage to the church which Maraulay pronounces ono of the grandest institu tions which has survived the wreck ol time. Tho Catholic church in Brooklyn is rich and powerful, und the Cutliolii laitv and clergy entertained the delegates svitii generous and lavish hospitality. Tho weather and the stock market have both been unsettled, but there is a general revival of business. HKOAllIiKIJI. FROM WASHINGTON From our Regular Correspondent. sV-Asiiinoton, D. C, Sept. 12, '85. The return of tho President to Wash ington svas the signal for an exodus from the watering-places by the leaders of society, and as a number of residents of tho West End and Connecticut Avenue havo already telegraphed to have their houses In orderforimmedlateoccupancy. Secretary Manning, sshlle asvaltlng for Sirs. Manning and his daughter to finish their vacation, will retain apartments at the Arlington, and will superintend the fitting up of the Ray house, on F street, where tbe secretary and his family will spend the winter. The fesv weeks spent at AVatch Hill by the secretary have been very beneficial, and he returns to Wash ington, he says, tn better health and spirits than ho would have believed pos sible for sucli a short jaunt. About tho only signs of activity nosv to be seen In Washington are the prepar ations for resuming svork at the Supreme Court. This Important and solemn body acts as a sort of weather Indicator for tho opening and closing of tho busy season Here, wnencver you uegm to see activity at the Supreme Court rooms lu the fall you may be sure there Is to bo a renewal of business all along the line. The Supreme Court Is usually the first to begin business In the fall. The sec ond Monday in October Is the time set for its sessions to bcgl'i. The Justices have been ass ay through their summer vacations with a little work along with them, and will be here soon. The num ber of nesv cases IhU year will probably be about 350. This about tbe average. Some years they run a little higher and some less, but as these are pretty hard times and people not much Inclined to Indulge in expensive luxuries, it is prob able that tho number will not run a high as some times. The Court con tinues to keep about three years behind svlth Its ss ork. It has nearly a thousand cases on hand and manages to get through with about threo hundred and fifty a year, or about as many as there are new ones coming In. So the nesv cases which come in nosv stand a show of being heard about three years from nosv. Miss Cleveland ls expected to return to the White House about tho first of next month and will be accompanied by one or two lady friends, who will remain with her until the gay season begins. Since Miss Cleveland has been at Holland Patent, the country home of her family, sho has passed her time quietly and has refrained from any more literary svork. The success of her recent book has been very gratifying to her, but It Is doubtful If she will make another similar effort while the mistress of the White House. It Is definitely and authoritatively stated that Miss Cleveland will remain with her brother during bis administration, and her hosts of friends here will be pleased to knosvthat she has had a most enjoyable and recuperative stunmcr vacation. x There will be no lack of entertain ment or society this winter, If appear ances arc worth anything, and agents of houses to let aro over-run with appli cants who desire Immediate possession. The cold season has set .In at the sea shore and the hotels are being rapidly vacated by guests who desire heme com forts. Although society Is not formally opened here until New Year's Day, the time between now and the 1st of Janu ary, 18S0, will bt very pleasantly spent by fashion's devotees. New Advertisements.
