LGUIQHTON.rA.i SATURDAY, l'KUUUAUY 0, 1S8C. Entered at the Lohlclitnn post-oflicc as Second Class Mull Matter. The statement of the Delaware ,T.aek awanna and Western Railroad Com pany for the year ended December 31, 1885, shows: Gross earnings, $.'11,001, 078; net earning, $7,871,105. Deduct ing Interest and rentals of leased lines, new equipment, new tracks, etc., leaves a net balance for the year of $2,210,831, equal to 8 65.100 per cent, on the capi tal stock of the company. The bonded debt at this date Is $3,071,000. GEonot: llAitms, of Pittsburg, presi dent of the Miners and Laborers' Amal gamated Association of thu Authracllo Coal Region, said a few days ago that lie did not think there would be any strike In this region, though If one were contemplated the miners and laborers of the anthracite regions were In better condition to meet It than for fifteen past. There arc now 45,000 miners and laborers enrolled In the Amalgamated Association Mr. Harris says ho will devote all his time the next four weeks In organizing branches of the associa tion In Luzerne county. The exact meaning of the new wages scale Is that when coal sells In New York at $4 a ton the miner v, ho works by the day Is to bo paid $12.75 auoek Instead of $12, the laborer $10 Instead of $8. The Public Printer thinks the time has come for the construction of a new Government office. lie feels cramped in tho present Immense building the largest In the world forsuch a purpose and wants more elbow room for himself and his two thousand employees. It costs about $3,000,000 a year to print and bind tho matter ordered by Con gress and the departments. A very large part of this printing Is utterly wasted. The Junk shops arc packed with public documents, some of which have cost five or six dollars a volume. This sort of thing has been going on for years, without any serious attempt to check It. The Government printing otllce hae become practically an asylum for political pets, and for favorites of members of Congress. It would bo a measure of decided economy if the whole concern was swept away, and the neces sary work given out by fair competition among the trades interested. Tin: rcpoit of the Commissioner of Pensions presents some curious facts At the close of the last fiscal year there were on the rolls "2,1)45 survivors of the war of 1812, and 17,212 widows of those who served In that war.'' In oth er words the widows outnumbered the survivors six to one. According to the same authority the total number of ap plications filed from 1871, when the law took effect for this class of pensioners, to lSSowas: Survivors, ,"l,(i73; widows, 4S,fc&.1. This shows how rapidly the sunlvoiV widow li.ne gained on the sunlut-. When It is remcnibcied that the ar of 1S12 clofed out seventy years ajo, surpiUo may bo well excited that there should now be more than twenty thousand pensioners on tho rolls, of whom 17.212 are widows. At what age did they man v, and arc soldiers' widows exceptionally endowed with long lives? Kxact answers to these questions would furnish Interesting In formation, and might reduce the iiunv her of pensioners. The Commissioner says that "extended Inquiries aio beln prosecuted with a view to purging the pension rolls of the various agencies of the names of those fraudulently and Il legally borne thereon, and great success fs attending the work." This assur ance Is general in terms, and, of course, docs not apply to any special class of pensioners. T!ut eveiy class should be carefully examined. Mrs. Bayard, wife of the Secretary of State, died at her residence In Wash ington, D. C, at half-past eight o'clock Sunday morning. All the members of her family, with the exception of one daughter, Mrs. Warren, of Boston, and a son, who Is In Arizona, were present when she died. Mrs. Dayard was fifty one years old. The Immediate cause of her death was congestion of the brain, brought on by the shock of her daugh ter's sudden death two weeks previous. For the lirst week following that event she stood the strain and excitement quite well, "but a week previous tohcr death she was compelled to lake to her bed and gradually grew worse from day to day. On Thursday, 20th ult con gestion of the brain Hindu its appear Ance. She as unconscious for twenty four bonis before her death. For years Mrs. Dayard had been a confirmed In valid. Last summer she was very ill at her homo In Wilmington, Del., with a complication of diseases of the liver anil stomach, aud her recovery at that time was considered doubtful. During all of last winter she was prevented by ill health from appearing in society and ber place was most acceptably filled by her accomplished daughter, whose sud den death shocked Washington so re cently. It was at Miss Kate's solicita tion that Mrs. Dayard some months since put herself under Dr. F. A. Gard ner's care and under his treatment her improvement was marked. During the last six months ber health had been bct- ler than for many years. UxttM somebody weakens pretty soon, sava the Philadelphia Time of the 8rd hut., there Is going to be a coke famine. It Is stated upon what appears to be good authority that the present supply will bo exhausted within ten days. Unless the strike Is ended by that time the Idle coke-burners will be but a small portion of the workingmcn who w III be out of work. Furnaces and rolling-mills In various portions of the country will be obliged to impend nnd the thousands of workingmcn depend ant upon them will be idle until the cokeprodtteers and their men can make up thmr minds to get together on the llve-anddpt-llve principle. This striko only afford another Instance of the widespread Ions occasioned by the strike system of settling labor disputes. It Is Miy to see wbobjc by It. The men who strike can neuT by any mean, get th t'n: ihtlw r HirianiLe) hope lo secure an advance Hint tw ill compensate them for any prolonged i,,if ri. ...nnin..r. in. period of Idleness, fhe employers lose therroflt In the production thev might place upon the market during the strlko period. The other Industries, with their capital and workmen, which arc to a greater ot less extent dependent upon the striking Industry lose Incalcul ably by the suspension. And who makes anything by It? That Is a ques tion for both strikers and employers to sit down and ponder ovur with a great deal of earnestness. If tho chief object of the combined employment of capital and labor be to make money thero can be no more foolish thing than tndulg ence In a course wlilch can bring only loss to everybody concerned. It Is time that both worklngmrn and employers got their eyes open to the folly of the wholo system of strikes nnd lock-outs and Invented some method of agreement that does not Involve so much oxpen tlvo disagreement. rim's New York Letter. Special to the CAitnox Advocate. It is something nftcr nil to have a de cent reputation and an honest name. If You doubt It, come down with mo to Wall street, aud I'll prove It to you. Uncle Sam paid his debts like ai honest man thero is no doubt about his lion- esty; men nould sooner carry his prom ises to pay In their pockets, than the gold pieces with which they arc to be paid. Ills bonds, paying the lowest rate of Interest known to civilized fl- nancc,cotnmand a higher premium than gold, wherever money passes current among men. His bond Is taken without question not houses, nor lands, nor merchandise, rate equal to It; and all this because Uncle Sam Is just what ho ought to be, llko his grand uncle, John Dull, an honest man. "ow, mark the difference! If a government bond of one hundred dollars, paying three per cent., commands a premium, an eight per cent, bond ought to be woith nearly three hundred; and a six percent, bond, wortli atleast two hundred. The West ern Union Telegraph is the most gigan tic monopoly In the United States; Its Driarcan arms encompass all the land; yet AVcstcrn Union paying six per cent. ts soiling to-day at 70. There Is very little doubt about the six per cent, divi dends, but there Is a sense of insecurity and doubt that lie behind it all that the managers aro not honest; nnd tempting as me u.ui is, it win require some mail' Ipulation to force it up to par. It is now near tho point to which It was lorcetl by .lay Uould In lhS2. but after getting it to that point they added forty millions of water and this was divided among thu plunderer!) so that even from a financial standpoint, a uood character nnd an honest namo Is worth something; for the United States can get $100 for one half the rate of Interest that Jay Uould anil the Western Union pay for seventy. The sullen roar that for months has rumbled, like distant thunder, has at last broken beyond control, and the Democracy of Brooklyn are In open re- belliou. It is well known that without the superhuman effort made bv Kings Comity, Mr. Cleveland could not have been elected. If It had not been for their exceptional aid, he might still havo been Governor of Xcw York, nr peruaps jinyor ot Jiullnlo. Kings County made him Governor: K burs County tailed his nomination at Chica go, and finally In tho supremo struggle for the Presidency, she rolled up that greai majority mat gave .Mr. Cleveland me coveted prize, xvew iorl: County had been derelict, nnd If Kings County had done no better than New York did. Mr. Dlaine would have been President of the United Mates. Under those cir cumstances me jieniocrats ot Kings County felt they had very strong claims on the Administration, but their claims have been Ignored, and their hopes of oiuciai picieimcui nave been disap pointed, civil service reform stands like a lion in the nath. and Ihe Coin plaint Is that the President won't help to remove the lion. The fat offices have all come to Acw 1 ork. and while New York has been reveling at the public crib Kings County has been fed on corn husks. As staunch a Democratic organ as the Urooklvn Jiaule. this week gave voice to its discontent in no un certain tones, and warned the adminis tration tliat it must cry a halt. Hungry Democrats arc lookimr to wards tho United States Marshalshin. which is held by a Itepuhliean; the oflico is a fat one. Tho Incumbent Is an of fensive partlzan, of the most offensive character; lie does not attempt to hide it and never did; he is Republican through and througli; tho Democrats have been In power almost n year but still he holds the fort. If Mr. Cleveland should be a candidate -before the next Democratic convention, unless tilings .uiur wry uiucii in tno ne.l llirco years it is safe to prognosticate that he will not carry his own State, secured by the uncertain tenure or a Daro eleven hun dred votes. The discontent Is deen ami widespread In both cities, nnd where one Democrat is satisfied thero are fifty fighting mad. What's the matter with our neighbors over the river? At the sale of Doctor Talmago's pews early in tho week, the premiums exceeded those of Mr. lieech er's church; so it looks as If Doctor lalmage was not only growing In spiri tual, um unanciai grace, unu enthusi astic member gavo $730 premium for his pew, the rent of which was only ninety dollars. A smile of benediction lighted up tlie tabernacle, pastor's face. and a cheer went up from the admiring congregation as tho successful bidder earricil oil tlie capital prize. Can it be that the Plymouth pastor fson the wane, and the Tabernacle on the'iiiereaso.' It certainly Jooks like it, If ws mcasuro.it by the loot ot all evil. Tho trial ofrteneralShaler for bribery has been one of the notable evcnls'of the week. It' Is a serious matter when a gentleman who has occupied .some of the highest anil uiost,hquornblo positions in tho city, Is.placed upon trial for tine of the most Venal nnd meanest Crimes known to the calendar. It i a terrlblo thing to co'ntcih'plale' that a soldier of honorable record who was looked upon as the soul of iutcgrity, should bo placed In such a position. '1 here aro hundreds of men connected with our municipal government, who aie capable of anv crime, from murder to petty larceny uui ueurmi ouaicr was not one or mem; bis honesty was never called in question up to the present time, and now he Is accused of selling himself for the paltry sum of $8,000 or $0,000, and of joining bauds with perjurers and rubbers to plunder; the city. Ihe proof comes di rect aud clear. The witness for the prosecution, though a self confessed perjurer aud liar, had with him enough of collateral evidence lo entitle tho scoundrel to credit. In financial and ottlclal circles the indictment of General Shalcr Is looked upon as a positive cal amity; ror men say, ir lie Is spotted, where can we look for an lionnitin.ni. Ills offence carries with It tremendous consequences Mates prison at his ago would beworso than death. It Is sin cerely to be hoped that there may be some explanation, some proof which a,', ,ve Id. ,iime um,U,V had the., misfortune to awaki will establish the General's fair fame lie has akeu nmnv bitter cnimtks while In command of tlie National Guard, and Ihe enforcement of military discipline, accompanied with a raiTZKS; su.iniirr ha- riiyeqili rrM listen and en. wltlcs which nra telling against lilm wml lalal eucci nt tnu prusciu tune, IIe showed the coiimion fault of many ,. eIlt mmtla olllcera: 1 le forcot that Uvo have a dual organization, nnd ho carried the habits of the armoury and ! tuu camp 11110 pnvnm inc. no lorgoi that when drill wasocr, Jack was as good as hit master, and ho exacted at anilines, and under nil circumstances, the same deference mat he expected on parade. This arrocanec becamo Intol erable, nnd now that the General Is In peril thero aro hundreds or thoso who havo taken offence at his military con duct, who are ready to hunt him to his ruin. Larly In the week wo had the Patri arch's ball. Among the ladles, I know thero will be an Intense desire to know who the Patriarchs arc. . Well, primari ly they aro tho tony old beaux, who smashed the hearts of our female dudes thirty, forty or fifty years ago. Now, don't you suppose that these venerable .and respectable fossils aro laid upon the Shelf not a bit of it; all tho young girls go for them; unless you have gray hair you are ot no account am i-atnarcii s ball; and If It Is white, you command a premium. McAllister' at 05. and O' Leary at an unknown quantity, and a head like a cotton ball, knocked all the young dudes silly not a person passed tho door without the shibboleth, and the consequence was that society was quite at home. It was a family party on a grand scale, but It was the proper thing to go so every body went. Nothing was wanting, music, flowers, menu and company the tonicst ot tno tony, i here was no pre tence of eleemosynary efforts or benev olences to missionary societies; nothirtz of that sort, they got through with all that sort of thing at the charity hall last week. They simply camo together to have a social time among themselves and they had It. Thero were no editors, nor artists, nor actors; nothing but money bags and enormous respectabili ty. A tew years ago this particular ball used to be held at private houses, but society lias grown so prodigiously that it now takes the largest house In the city to hold them. As an evidence that we are progressing, the wife of tho Japan esc minister led the German. If she had done such a thing forty years ago it would have cost her her head when she got back to Japan.- I wislt I could des cribe the dresses, but there I'm in deep water. They wero wonderful. The sight from tlie boxes was a thing never lo be forgotten, and i almost wished 1 was a Patriarch myself. The fall of Bob Hart tho negro min strel who professed to be 'converted some tlmo ago, nnd was ordained n Baptist minister and preached under tho name of the Key. Bobcrt Southerlaud, adds another to the list of religious and tern perance failures. Mr. Southerland's minstrel associates never took any stock in his conversion. They knew the man aud prognosticated tho event which has now taken place. Ho was known as a very clever minstrel and stump nigger speaker all over the United States, but ids unfortunate love of whisky proved his ruin. There may be exceptional cases. I admit, hut as a gencial thing It is not safe to make gospel miristers old of that kind of timber. Tho magnificent gift of Mr. and Mrs. Sloan, tho son-in-law aud daughter of tlie late William II. Vanderbllt. eon cluslvely proves that his Wealth has not fallen Into unworthy hands. Thero Is no doubt but tho other members of tho family will be heard from in due time. We look hopefully towards Conclius, who from his past Ufa muv reasonably bo expected to do somo great thing for the city where the great bulk of Ills wealth has been accumulated, a gift wiucn snau pass ins namo to posterity with blessings for generations to come. .Mr. and Mrs. Sloan's gift Is to found a maternity hospital, where poor women can leceivo proper attention during child-birth. It is a want long felt ami will secure Mr. Sloan and his wife tho lasting gratitude of tho community. The society for tho Prevention of Cruel ty to C hildren has its hands full, and tho streets are crowded with begging children. This week a beautiful little girl was arrested begging in the street one bitter stormy night, and when the ollleer of the society followed her to her homo he found lierfathcr enjoying him self reading a novel In a comfortable room, and the mother preparing dinner. The poor child was nearly frozen, but stoimy nights were her strong hold and sometimes she would make three or four dollars. The parents were Immediately itrrusieu ami me cmiu cared lor uy the society. Tho weather has been miserable and business Is flat. BROADB1HM. Wasliigon Bews ana Gossip. From tfur Special Correspondent. Washington, D. C, Feb. 1. '80, Mit. Uihtoh: It is now more than probable that tho agricultural interests of tho country are at last to receive that recognition from Congress which the magnitude and Importance of the indus try demands. At each session of Con gross during recent years, bills have been introduced with tho view of creat ing an Agricultural Bureau as an execu tive department, the chief oilicer of w lilcli bbould be a member of the Presi dent's Cabinet. Tho committee on Ac liculturo of the House, who have had tho bill under consideration sinco the commencement of the present session, have agreed to accept an amendment proposed by the labor committee, nnd have ordered the bill to bo favorably re ported. As agreed upon, the bill pro vides for tlie establishment of a depart ment of agriculture and labor under the supervision' of a secretary and assistant secretary, whose salaries Shall bo the same as those now paid to other officers of corresponding rant. Tho 'Secretary of AgtlciiHure arid labor- Is empowered to Inquire into the causes of discontent which niaj-.cxistbetweon employers nnd employees, within tho United Statcs,and he Is authorized to invite and hear sworn' statements from botti parties. "General Black, tho Commissioner of Pensions, has established a new division in his otllce, which will be known as the aw division, which will determine all questions relating to attorncj'sjees, the standing of nttorneys practicing before tho otllce, appeals from tho decision of tho Commissioner, and nil questions re lating to tho law and practice of the of fice. Heretofore the consideration of these questions has occupied much of the tlmo of the various olllcials of the department, and the new division has been established with the view of sys tematizing and expediting the current work of the ollice. Tlie Civil Service Commissioners were on Thursday last accorded a bearing be fore the House Committee on Iteform In thu Civil Service. They reported that they had no suggestions to make as to changes In the law, other than that they were opposed to the examination of applicants over forty-tire years of age. They also called the attention of the. committee to certain Inequalities In the classified service which should be remedied. Tuesday last being the day set apart by the Senate to be devoted to the mem ory of the late Vice-President Hendricks, a great amount of Interest was mani fested in the solemn occasion. The galleries wero crowded to their utmost capacity while the corridors and aisles wero tilled with a restless and Impatient crowd, anxious lo hear and see what was going on upon tlia Iloor. The able and fitting tribute paid by Senator Voor hees. to the inemorv of the dead, was listened to with marked attention, and W as well rfrrlwd, i:s wire ftlo tin- fill- ogles offered by tlie other Senators. rrooauiy llic linesicilorl of tlic Uay was that of Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, and when lie conclude.! 1.1. rnm.irka with the words. "God's finirer touched hlin and he slept," thero was an audible amen flout all parts of tho crowded room. The warm weather which has pre vailed during the past few days has caused tho merchants and business men along the river front to watch tho river with much apprehension. In tho spring of 1881 Washington was visited by a disastrous flood, caused by the gorging of Ice In the channel of the stream. The river Is still" frozen over and tho con ditions arc tho same as thev were livo years aco. A mass inectintr of buslnoss men, owning property In the lower por tion ot tno city was held on Wednesday, at which It was decided to tako Immedi ate action with the ylow of bi caking the ice before damage could be occasioned by a sudden rise. As a result of the meeting it was decided lo utilize the various river steamers In breaking and clearing tho tee from tlie channel of the stream. This work has since been so far accomplished that It Is believed that nil present danger has been averted, and the river boats have resumed their regu lar irips.

For the benefit of thoso who have spent a winter In Florida and thoso who are in terested, I write tills letter concerning tno climate. l,ast summer the hottest day was tho last day of June, then the mercury stood at 104 degrees In the shade; but the average heat was from 85 to 00, and it lasted from May to No vember, tin account of tho sea breezes It seemed cooler than It really was. Of the two I llko the summer here better than the winter. Of course business is dull, but I had all I wanted to do most of the time. What 1 thought volt would want to hear about. Is the blizzard that has struck Florida, tho coldest for a great many jears. Tt commenced to blow direct from the West Jan. Oth.and at midnight it was down to frcczhis. All the oranges In this vicinity froze solid, and It did not moderate Friday. Saturday or Sunday. Saturday night It was eighteen above zero. One ot the natives told me he had 80,000 oranges frozen solid. He said he did not c?re for the oranccs. but the trees were all dead, lie said there was not one orange lice Jen in ailht, Johns county, water froze two Inches thick in our kitchen Saturday night and this morning the ground Is frozen bard. It is roimli on (lower gardens. ork Is dull here now. We are glad to learn that a very seri ous question a question that has agi tated whole nations has been settled by the savans of the prosperous town of Manly, on the Ualelgh and Augusta Air-line Iiallroad. It has long been a mooted question whether a woman should recelvo as much education as a man; but at last the truth has been arrived at, and It has been decided that she should not. Now that settles the question, It Is to bo hoped for all time to come. Some good lias at last cer tainly come from a debating society. Commissioner of Immigration J. T. Patrick, of this State, shows by an ex hibit made recently that Northern capi tal Is finding Investment in North Caro lina at the rate of nearly $100,000 annu ally, the amount perceptibly increasing every year. Tills speaks well for the efforts of Jlr. Patrick. Tho men and money that havo come Into North Caro lina have como to stay. It Is now quite seasonable to warble: "When- tho springtime comes, gentle Annie." It Is almost here. Only a few days more will elapse before oarly peas, Irish potatoes, and new onions will be placed In the ground. Marcli will see them sprouting nicely. The garden seed man understands this, and Is already spreadlnchis net for the an nual catch. F. P. WoomvAnn. . Tho spring elections will bo held on Tucsday,Fcb. 10th, next Tuesday week.
