The Blue Book or biennial register, in which Uncle Sam keeps tab of the men and women who draw pay from his coffers, is nearly completed for the year of grace, 1889. The first volume, contiininc the names of all the Executive Departments, the army and navy and of Congress and its employes, appeared six months ago. The second volume is devoted to the Postoffice Department alone, and will be a little larger and heavier than the sim ilar volume in previous years. The Blue Book has been printed regularly bv order of Congress since 1816. At that lime it was naturally a small book, for there were in all the branches of the Government then, including the staff and line in army and navy, less than 8,000 employes of the "United States. Prior to 1816 there had been no complete single register of Government employes. Some of the bureaux had printed lists and registers, but for-the most part there were only manuscript rolls con taining the names of the clerks and various officials. TrnEir JEFFKBSOJT RULED. Jefferson, when he was Secretary of State, wrote out for himself a list of all the clerks tinder him a not very arduons task, seeing that there were but 2S, all told. Prom 1816, however, there are complete registers for every two vears. So it is possible to hunt up the same name, office, place of duty, pay and home of any man or woman who ever 'worked for this great Government of ours, do matter how humble, obscure or menial that person's employment may have been. In 1839 the Blue Boot: was first actually a blue book. Before that it bad been brown and was bonnd in cloth. Prom 1839 on it bad been bound in leather. The blue is an ultra marine and not the brilliant color that greets us in the Stars and Stripes. The two Tolnmes together have 2,243 pages and contain 132,000 names. The type is fine nonpariel set "solid" so as to pack in as many names as possible, for with every year that passes between 1500 and 2,000 names are added to the mighty roster, and it will not be long beiore it will be necessary to publish the Blue Book in three volumes. At the same ratio of increase that has been going on since Martin Van Buren's administration, it will require five or six volumes to hold the names of the peo ple who do Uncle Sam's work in 1939. ANY NUS1BEB OF MEM. Some idea of the size and contents of the Blue Book is possible when you think that it the lines of names were stretched out in one long string it would go around the periphery ol Pittsburg and tie a big bow knot. There are names enough in the two big bine books to elect a Congressman. Set oQ by themselves they would form a new State in the "West. In a procession march ing four abreast, Uncle Sam's boyi and girls would take ten hours to pass the White House. It costs $16,000 in round numbers to put the names ot the Government em ployes into type. There are 3,781 days' work in this typesetting task alone, for there are 26,467,000 ems of type to bo set in the two books. The three men who in 1839 conld set the Blue Book in 26 days would now have to work three years and five months on the job, and we should never have the completed work until death, resig nation or change of administration had made it valuable only as a matter oi reminiscence. There is only a limited circulation for the Blue Book. Government officials in promi nent offices have them. Senators and mem bers of Congress have two each, and there are about 2,000 for general circulation. Bnt no book is worked harder by a certain class of people than the Blue Book. It is to the politician who wants an office what "Webster's Dictionary is to the country tchoolma'am who is studying just ahead of the class. In Washington it js as necessary as the local directory. Dvcry other mail who comes to town wants to look and see what all the offices arc, who has them, what the pay is, when the incumbent was ap pointed, and so get the "lay" of the ground and make ready for active operations. KOI A rOriTLAB VOLUME. Among the fellows whose names arc in the Blue Book it is not so very popular at times. When Cleveland was elected the newspaper correspondents nsed to kill time by printing lilts of Republicans as their names appeared in the Blue Book, but the practice was never popular with those most concerned. It gave notice what there was to be bad, and there was always somebody somewhere ready to go for what they wanted. It is the policy of the office holders all over the country to conceal as much as possible the amount of their nalaries and the date of their commissions, but the Blue Book frankly states both, and any one who isn't afraid of fine type may read the facts and get all the satisfaction possible from them. This is the virtue of (he book. It prevents an office-holding ciite, promotes healthy ambitions, stimu lates incumbents to good behavior, and ac celerates rotation in office, As a marker of national growth, the Blue Book serves an excellent purpose. It is eaid that a precise ratio exists between the number of farms opened up in the West, the number ol homes stirted in cities, the number of spindles set to humming or the amount of capital invested anywhere in manufacturing, and the number of Govern ment clerks. All development increases the business of the Government and so multiplies the number of people who attend to that business. Every time SO or 100 Scandinavians go West and form an agri cultural community at least one new clerk has to be put on Government work here in Washington to keep up with the increment oi service expected from Uncle Sam for his adopted children. A LITTLE COMPARISON. A comparison of the Blue Book of 1839, which shows the extent of the Government in the 50th year of the republic, with the last edition ol the work, is highly instruc tive. The book of 1839 contains the ad ministration of Martin "Van Buren. There are 9,330 names in it. It is set in larger type than is now used brevier and the piges are duodecimo instead of royal oc tavo. The paper required for a copy of the Blue Book of this year would suffice for twelve such as were published in the days oi Van Buren. The present volumes of the Blue Book weigh 13 pounds and 14 ounces. The little Blue Book or 1839 weighs 18 ounces Just a little over one-twentieth of the avoirdupois of the current register of officials. Every page of the recent Blue Book con tains lour times as much matter as one page of Martin Van Buren's copy. There are names enough in the former to make 14 books like the latter. Van Buren's proces sion of subordinates could have tnnrchid by the White House lour abreast in 1 hoar and 20 minutes. Down to the beginning: of the war the. won oi compiling the Blue .hook was a 81m pit Batter. una clerk conld month. Now it takes half a dozen, and they are hardly done with one book beiore they must begin the compilation of another. In the second volume of the Blue Book for 1889, which will come from the press this month, there will not be a single entrv later than June 30 1889. ONE YEaE BEHIND TIME. Thus the book is one year behind its time owing to the enormous task of preparing the copy for it. Yet the severest accuracy marks the whole work. Names are invari ably spelled correctly, residences are given just as they should be, and salaries are set down to a cent as they really are. The boy who sells stamps in the postoffice at Passa maqnoddy and the Indian who carries the mail to Squaw Baby's Grave in Alaska, if they can read, will find their names in the Blue Book and find them right. There are now about 15,000 clerks in the Government offices in Washington, but in 1839 there were less than 400. There were 284 Treasury clerks; 49 clerks in the Post office Department, 35 in the War Depart ment, and but 13 in the Navy Department. Pennsylvania had then more than her share ofthegood things. Pennsvlvania men ap pear as frequent'y in theBlue Book as Ohio men have since 1876. In the State Depart ment William Derrick was Chief Clerk of the Diplomatic Bureau at 51,600, and two others of the 10 clerks in the department were from Pennsvlvania. George M. Dallas was Minister to Russia at 9,000 a year and Henrv A. Muhlenberg, ot Lancaster, was Minister to Austria at the same salary. Samuel D. Heaf was Consul at Tunis at S2.000. David Offley at Smyrna, J. P. Hutchison at Lisbon, Alexander Burton at Cadiz and Albert Davy at Kingston. The assistant chief clerk of the Treasury Department was Samuel M. McKean, son of Governor McKean. It was Samuel McKean who ran to the White House and broke in on President Madison at dinner to warn him of the approach of the British when they burned the capitol. James W. Barker First Con troller at 53.G00, Jesse Miller First Auditor at $3,000,Peter Hagner Third Auditor at $3,000, John Moore Unlet UlerK oi i-uouc Lianas at $1,800 and Henrv D. Gilpin Solicitor for the Department at 53,500, were all Pennsvlvan ians, and besides them there, were 11 good salaries in the department drawn by clerks from Pennsylvania. The Indian Com missioner, who was then under the Secretary of War, was T. Hartley Crawford, of Pennsylvania, and his salary was 53,000. There was one pension agent in the State, Matthew Tierman, of Pittsburg. He paid the veterans of 1776 and 1812 the stipend allowed them bv Uncle Sam, and himself had only the honor of Ms position for his nay. Pittsburg's only customs officer was John Clark, survevor, who enjoyed the princely salary of 5380 a year. Philadelphia was the principal port and George Wolf was Collector at 4,400 a year. THE KEYSTONE SHOWING. In the roster of West Point Pennsylvania had 19 cadets, the largest number of any State except New York, which had 39. Among the Pennsylvania cadets was John F. Reynolds, W. B. Franklin and John S. McAlmont Ohio had in the academy at that time W. T. Sherman, W. G. Kosecrans, D. C. Buell and U. S. Grant The Pennsylvania delegation inCongress was precisely as large then as it is now. There were 38 members of the House. New York then had 40 instead oi 34; Virginia 21 instead of 10. In that Congress there ap pears among members of the House the names of John Quince Adam', Millard Fillmore, Ogden Hoffman, Abbott Law rance, Caleb Cashing, Henry A. Wise, Nathan Clifford, Tom Corwiu and Joshua R. Giddings. Henry Baldwin was Pennsylvania's rep resentative on the Supreme Bench, and his salary was 54,500, less than half the com pensation to Judge Strong, Pennsylvania's last Judge on the Supreme Bench. The Federal judiciary in Pennsylvania consisted of Judge Joseph Hopkinson, of Philadel phia, who presided over the Eastern dis trict, and Judge Thomas Irwin, ot Union town, who presided over the Western dis trict. The tormer had a salary of 52,500; Judge Irwin's was ?1,800. There was not a postoffice in the United States in 1839 that paid over 52,000. This was the salary at New York and about 20 other oinces. James Page, at Philadelphia, James Peacocc, at Harrisburg, Robert Cochran, at Erie, and David Lynch, at Pittsburg, drew each ?2,000. A notable thing for those days was the fact that Mary Dickson was postmistress at Lancaster and had a salary of 51,433. That is almost the only line in the Blue Book of that year showing that a woman held a profitable Government office. Julius A. Teuesdell. WILL BBHra SUITS.

A Slight Provocation Would fltmjje South America in War. CHILI AND ARGENTINE QUARREL. The Queen's Troops Called Out to Chase Fourteen Venezuelans. LIEUTENANT TYISE'S CANAIi SCHEME Panama, June 21. The Argentines are just now very anxious to control the eastern portion of the Straits of Magellan, muoh to the disgust of the Chileans, who declare that the Argentine colonists have already encroached upon Chilean territory. The Argentines deny that such is the case, but meanwhile Chilean diplomats have been at work, and it is said have formed an alliance with Brazil. The South American republics have never beenso well armed as they are to-day, and it is the possession ot this armament which serves to keep alive the present un satisfactory state ot affairs. There are many seeds of discord among the Republicans, and it looks as if the year would not close without bloodshed. A PASSING -WAE CLOUD. An event has just occurred in Demerara which brings the Anglo-Venezuelan boundary difficulty into Bpecial prominence. It seems that Magistrate McTurk, whose jurisdiction extends over the territory in dispute, having been informed by some gold miners that there was a force of armed Venezuelans in the Cuyuni district, sent a hurried dispitch from Kalacoon, his head quarteis, to Governor 'Lord Gormanston in Georgetown, giving mm tne lniormauon. Upon its receipt intense excitement pre vailed, which reached its climax when 40 men of Her Majesty's Second West India Regiment, under a major and a lieutenant, were marched to the wharf, followed by 40 policemen underarms. Bags ana barrels of provisions from the Commissariat Depart ment were sent with the troops, and when the steamer employed in the gold mining in dustry arrived, sne was immediately put in readiness to transport the soldiers and police to Bertica Grove, the authorities being de termined to repel the alleged invasion of Her Britannio Majesty's territory by the Vene zuelans. ONLY. POUETEEN INVADERS. By this time, however, Mr. McTurk had learned the real facts of the case, which were that 14 Venezuelans under General Besano, armed with rides and revolvers, had been dispatched by the Venezuelan Government to ascertain the extent of placer mining in the Cuyuni of British Guiana. The men were in sore straits for want of food, and pro ceeded to Kalacoon, where they were relieved by Mr. McTurk, who, however, seized their arms. This information having been telegraphed to the Governor the troops and police were ordered back to barracks. The small invading army of 14, after recu perating on colonial hospitality, will go back to Venezuela and tell their Govern ment how well prepared the British Guiana folks were to give them a warm reception. The richness of British Gniana in aurifer ous deposits is made more manifest every day. The precious metal no longer comes from the placers in ounces, but in pounds. One lucky placer miner named Jacobs has just returned to Georgetown with 206 pounds of pure gold after seven weeks' work in the Protari district, and at Bartica Grove gold is so abundant and the illicit traffic in it is so brisk that the price has occasionally fallen to 54 an ounce. THE LATEST CANAL SCHEME. Lieutenant Wyse's canal scheme meets with considerable favor here. Wyse was the first canal projector with a practicable scheme and he it was who procured the original concesiion with De Lesseps. However, he disposed of his contract to the French company. With the result of that transfer the world is very famil iar. Notonlv has 5250,000,000 been irre deemably sunk, but the prospects of the en tire enterprise have also been jeopardized. Hence those who know the facts of the case and who have studied the report of the Technical Commission are confident that Lieutenant Wyse's scheme is practicable and that the restoration of the old company is possible. President Nunez wishes it to be under stood that, while the Colombian Government would decline to renew or extend the con cession to the De Lesseps Company, no ob stacles would be placed in the way ot a new and trustworthy company. In well in formed circles it is said that the Govern ment will meet Lieutenant Wyse half way, and that arrangements will be made for the transfer of the concession. The latest ru mor is that Mr. Wyse will come to a satis factory understanding with the President, and that Congress will ratify tne President's action. MUST 6ETTLE WITH COLOMBIA. M. Monchicour has repeatedly said that several syndicates had proposed to take stock in any new company that might be organized on the lines of the report of the Technical Commission, and it is reasonable to suppose that these proposals still hold. No definite information in regard to them can, however, be expected until Colombia shall have been settled with. Otherwise it might be impossible to secure a favorable contract. From a company already organized Colombia might insist on more favorable terms than could reasonably be expected from promoters whose ability to organize a company would depend entirely on the terms that might be offered. No "take it or leave it" policy will be adopted when Colombia understands that tho projected company is master ot the situation. The condition of affairs In Paris proves very opportune for the notorious Sautereau, with his chimerical lake system. He pro fesses to be able to construct a canal in half the time and at less than half the cost that the Commissioners estimated, and no one is surprised, therefore, when be says that two out of every three shareholders are in favor ot his project During the pnst few days he has flooded the Isthmus with copies of telegrams in which he claims that he has obtained the support not only of the shareholders, but also of the liquidator and the French Gov ernment. The prepostr.ousness of this claim is palpable. Accidental Drownings rBPECIAI. TELEQIULM TO THB DISPATCH.! Benwood, July 5.

TELiaBAM TO TDB DI8PATCIM Mt. Veenon, O., July 7. The officers of the Wool Growers' National Association, have been in this city several davs in con sultation with Hon. Columbus Delano, and have prepared an address to their constit uents. The association are closely watching the course of legislation at Washington, and recent developments have cansed them to issue the following address, which was made public to-day through George H. Wallaoe, Secretary of the National Association, and the recently appointed Consul General to Melbourne: To the Wool Growers of the United States: Our duty requires ns to advise you of dan gers to your industry that demand attention. First Senator Hale's amendment to the Mc Kinley bill, if adopted will admit wool free of duty trom all the nations of this hemisphere. Mr. Cleveland's free wool recommendation was no worse. South American wools would sup plant domestic wool. The Republican platform would bo violated, the principles ot protection surrendered, and the production of the wool necessary for clothing in the United States "would bo transferred to foreign nations. " Second Amendments threatened to be pro posed in the Senate, when the bill is on tho passage, first to strike out the clause prohibit ing sorting of wools, thus permitting the cloth ing portion of third-class wools to be sepirated and imported at third-class duties. Again, to strike oat tho words "including charces." thus raising tho dividing lino and permitting, under the system of fraud now practiced, the importation of oil third class wools at the lowest rate of dnty. Theso amend ments ners presented to the Finance Com mittee in violation of the agreement of the 24th of April, when the restrictive clauses, and the words "including charges," were unanimously assented to by manufacturers, in consideration of onr assenting to ad valorem rates or third class wool. We obtained notice that such amendments would be offered on the dar before the bill was reported to the Senate, and hastened to remon strate in writing. Tho amendments were not made, but the right was reserved and a number of the committee Informed us they would be presented in the Senate. We have yielded all tbatcan be safely yielded In justice to our industry to secure general pro tective legislation. Any of the amendments referred to are dangerous. The Hale amend ment would work absolute ruin. Its adoption violates the promise to give wool '"adequate protection," and discredits the faith and honor of tho Republican party. Either of the other amendments will per petuate fraudulent practices in importations of carpet wools, whereby our producers of cloth ing wool have been robbed of the protection which the law was supposed to afford. We have thus briefly presented the difficul ties and dangers which threaten the most im portant industry of tho nation and which must be protected if our protective policy survives. We call for your immediate action. As indi viduals and association, wo give notice to those representing yon In the balls of legislation that we expect the Republican party to redeem its pledges and fulfill its promises by speedily passing tho McKinley bill.

Why do tho patients cured by tbo catorrh specialists, at 823 Penn avenue, ALWAYS SIGN THEIR TESTIMONIALS, as they ap pear in tho daily papers. Because it is abso lute proof even to the most skeptical, that tho testimonials are genuine, and that the patients were really cured. DISGUSTED WITH DOCTORING. Mr. Frank J. Mason, living on Dearborn street, Nineteenth ward, and near the Alle gheny Cemetery, and who is employed at the La I!elle Stool Works, in Allegheny, has been Eermanently cured by the abovo specialists. Ie had an offensive discharge from his nose and a dropping of catarrh mucus into his throat, which becaino very tenacious and bard to raise out. His throat bocamo irrltatod and sore and hurt him to swallow. He bad pain in his forehead and frequent nose bleed. As bis Mr. Frank J. Mason. disease became deeper seated it attacked his longs causing much pain in his chest and a vio lent couch. In fact he coughed night and day, and in the niEht his cousb was simply terrible. Ho conld get but little sleep, and would often waken with such a smothered feeling he could scarcely get his breath. Ho bad no appetite, and what little food he did eat he would feel like vomiting up. The gas that formed in his stomach after eating, gave bim great distress. He lost flesh, and bis lungs be came so weak he could not lie on either side. Every change of weather would cause bim to take cold. Night sweats further weakened him until at times he was unable to do any work. It was while in this condition that he began treatment with tho physicians of the Catarrh and Dyspepsia Institute. He says: "My disease was of six or seven years' stand ing, and the abovo history of iny case is true. At first I noticed that my nose and throat would clog up in tho evening, and I thought I was taking cold. As I treated with several doctors, and got no better, I became disgusted with doctoring, for It seemed as it I never could be cured. Finally a friend advised me to try tbe physicians of the Catarrh and Dys pepsia Institute, at 823 Fenn avenue, at his wife had been oured by these dootors. This gave me some hope, and I decided to take a course of their treatment. I improved from tbe first. I now feel well and strong, and shall be glad to further describe my case and perma nent cure by these specialist. "FRANK J. MASON." Please bear In mind that THESE SPECIAL.
