any competition between them for the

at any antics of the railroad managers,

Little has b;cn dono to reitoro
friendly feeling between Spain and Gei
snany. 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.

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-

but It does not gain ground among la

THE PHILADELPHIA M11IT. THIS DEMOOKMIO NOMIHEES.
The IT. S. Mint In riiKadelnhla Is un-! 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. The

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

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

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.

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.
