OEM BaBOOCK SPEAKER KEHU
THE PKOMPT CONFIRMATION OF

EDUCATION, ETC
Both Houses of Congress have adjourned
until Monday. The House is now forming
its Committees. This is quite exciting as
the friends of each member of consequence
are pushing his nitme forward as chairman
of some important comrui'tee, and no doubt
after the committees are formed, the
Democratic organization cannot be prop
erly called a mutual admiration society.
Already you notice, on fvery hand, by its
frienes. a disposition to find fault with
the notion of the Democratic majority of
the House. There are mora sore-headed
applicants for positions in the tlouso. than
ever your corresponding yjjnesestyhe
The applicants for positions in the vari
ous Departments are so numerous that it
is difficult to pass through them without be
ing stopped and assistance asked from you
to got them government position. One ot
the mistakes that the Heads of the Depart
ments generally make is to keep aa appli
cant in long suspense. It is not uncommon
to see hopeful applicants, almost d lily for
tit mouths running to the various Depart.
ment3for position, spending their time and
influence too often for naught. There are
. yet to bo reductions in nearly all the gov
eminent Departments here, and an em
ployee in them, who sees these applicants,
feels a peculiar dread, thinking that this
one or that one may he his successor.
The friends here of Gen. Babcock ar
e
much, surprised to learn that there is a
indictment for supposed conspiracy with
the whisky ring and are eanguine that he
' frill be able to prove h s innocence. The
course that the President has tuk.-n in re
gard to (he prosecution of those indieUJ is
reeeiviug the commendation of both parties.
It was thong ht by some tint the thorough
prosecution of this caso would do him in
jury, but to tie contrary he is gaining more
and moroevcy day in the favor of tlie law
abiding people.
The new Speaker, Mr. Kerr, it is said,
never was. while in Congress, invite 1 to toe
chair, and it is a little strange that if this
he the c.se, why the Temocrocy should
delect a man who has had no experience in
presiding over deliberating bodies. Much
uepenus on the Heading Clerk, as to how
well Mr. Kerr performs bis duties a
Ppeakcr. He prompts the Speaker in the
dispatching of business. Mr. Kerr is in
ill health und looks very feeble. U is
feared by his friends that he will not bo
able to si nnd the vexatious attending the
Speakership of this stormy session,
The prompt confirmation, in the Senate
yesterday, of Z icliemh Chandler, Edw.rd
Pi:: pont, John 0, New and others, is cz
ceedingly co nplimen'ary to these gent e
men- Had there been any opposition to
them, this could not have been done. Ii
was quite a surprise that the name of Ex
Senator Pratt for Commisnioner of Internal
Revenue, was not snt. in, pud some think
that it means that Mr. Pra't intends to
resign before being confirm ;d, at not l .ng
niuce he expressed himself as uot entirely
satisfied or pleus3d with his present
position.
One of the most serious difficulties en
countered in the representation of educa
tion at the Ceutenuial, is the determina
tion of space to be nilotied to it. The
Commissioner of Education reports thai
the -everal State Executive School Officers
desire to know the amount of space whicl
each can have for thie represenutipn; but
the Centenuial Commission ate so e:n
barrasscd that they desiro each State to
prepare the material of its exhibition as
best it oan, they having to accomodate tho
space to the articles to bs exhibited, borne
Stutes are remarkably well under way in
their preparation.
The distinguished professor, Lyon 'Play-
fair, a member of Parliuient, and for some
time Postmaster General under Mr. Glad
stone, writes the Coaiinissionsr of Educa
tion on the receipt of the Centennial cir
culars from the Bureau of Education, that
if the propsal made by the educators of
the United States for promoting lb a educa
tional exhibit in- Philadelphia, are curried
out, tbey will secure more methodical
and lasting results than any exhibit of
education yet made in Great Britain.
The Commission of Education has been
informed that the educational department
of Japan is engaged, in making an exceed
ingly interesting collection, illustrative of
the history of education in that oountry.
under the old and new regime. It is ex
pected that there will be model school
bouses and appliances of education going
back five hundred yeuis.
Considerable anxie'y is manifested in
regard to the coming decision of the Sec
retary of Ibe Troasury upon the revised
rate of drawback on refined sugar. The
Committee of Eipeit lately appointed to
take testimony have reported a small re
duction of rate ou crystaline sugar which
will not be sufficient to dtatroy our grow
ing business of refining sugar for exporta
tion. British refiners whose trade has been
spoiled in proportion as our own has pros
pered have attemp'ed a very unseemly in
terference in matters that coucern this
country only as ibe Secretary Las rescin
ded bis provisional orler, praotically
stooping sugar exports, it is not likely that
he will go further in reducing rates than
the committee of investigation recommend,
in which event this large reficing and
shipping trade will bs saved to the eouni ry
despite the clamor of foreign interest to the
prejudice of American trade and oommeroe
The new jail in the District of Columbia
is nearly complete sufficient' B that
they re now transferring to it the prison
ers of the old jail. 1 lie appropriation of
$000 000 which Congress made some two
years since, is nearly exhausted, and it
will require an appropriation of at least
$-75,000 to complete It. There are now
more than two hundred prisoners in Jail
awaiting trial, a larger number thai ever
before. Statistics show that the increase
is at the rsis of about twenty per cent, per
annum, more than double in proportion te
the increase in population of the Distriotof
Columbia. This is doubtless owing to the
scarcity of employment for the laboring
population. It is expected that during
Congress and the Centennial, this number
will be greatly increased.

A correspondent of a Washington pa
per has startled the world with a re
markable sujrsestion. He contends that
the United State,! senate is not re
stricted to i's own members in the
choice of a presiding officer and sug
gebts that it elect James It. liUtne to
the presidency pro tern. He bases his
proposition upon the acknowledged
merits of Mr. Blaine as a presiding offi
cer, anJ adds that "the election of a
member of the senate to the Vice-Presi
deney would reduce the Republican
innjoritj one, while the election of a
sound to-the-core and true Republican,
not a member of the Eeoats would in
crease the Republican vote; on all close
measures two. Ihe idea is a novel
one, but will hardly acted on.

money order business is nothing more
nor less than srovernmeot banking for
the benefit of the public, and those who
avail themselves of its benefits should
pay its current expenses. Congress at
the last session advanced the fees on
small money orders to a point which it
is believed it will, as it should, for the
current year and hereafter pay its own
expenses.
Pittsburg, Dee. 4 Another eon
ferenea of iron boilers and mat.u'actnr-
ers was held to-night. It will be re
member that a month ago a compromise
was t ffented between the i mployecs and
the employers, the latter agreeing to
pay the former $5 per too, for boiling

the country were paying for puddling
The thirty days will expire ou Tuesday
next., but at the meeting today the
iron-boilers refused to accept less wa'.'f g
than they are getting now( viz . 85 per
ton. The manufacturers offered S4.5f
per ton. and. perhaps, if pressed, would
have given 84.75 per ton. but no more
as they said that, Dowhere else was more
paid. A ceneral conference will be
held on Tuesday next, when, if the
manufacturers are still determined on a
reduction of the present wages, a lock
nut will follow, as the iron-bniler ma
kers, are determined to live in idleness
rather than submit to a further reduc
tion in wages. Thousands, upon thous
of workmen will be deprived of employ
iient should the manufacturers press a
decrease of figures now given lor boiling
iron.
Pottsville Pa., Dee. 3. In conse-
queno of the overstocked coodition of
the Eastern markets and of the close nl

morrow direct the stoppago of thirty of
their forty collieries iu tliib region, the
remaining ten having a producing ca-
puc-ity of four thorn-ana tons daily to
cotiimus to supply the furnaces and
railways iu this vicinity. About five
thousand men and boys are thus thrown
out of work. Tweiitv-fiva individual
collieries will also suspend during the

prominent coal operutor states that the
miners have been very industrious since
the resumption lust Juno, and have also
been unusually economical, so that a
great many of them ure prepared for the
suspension, which may not last over
two mouths though iears are enter

until spring. The iron trade con

The Potter Jturnal says: On reflection
we are inclined to modify the opinion ex
pressed last week about the election of
Sheriff, in McKean county. Under the
Constitution there is to be an election for
Sheriff every three years. We doubt if an
act of assembly will be construed as to de
prive the people of this constitution right
because the out going Sheriff died less
than three months before the regularly ap
pointed election. The words of the act,
we admit, will accomplish just that wrong.
But we are loth to believe it will be so con
structed as to work so great an injury. It.
was clearly intended to apply to those va
cancies occuring where no regular election
was to take pluce.
