EDWARD 6CCLL, F.i:tor nd Proprietor.
WETSE3DAY-
JCareb 15, 1S90.
Xo second term, for anyone but myself,
the Cleveland rale.
Blessed are the Democrats who do not
want Federal office ; for they ehall not
be disappointed.
A good many Democrats would be just
as well pleased if Cleveland would start
on that tour of the world at once instead
of waiting until IS9G.
Theke is wailing and erosion of the
gums among the ancient ofiiceholderswbo
expected to be returned to their former
position under Cleveland, because of his
announcement that old public functiona
ries "needn't apply."
That Mr. ( leveland could not find a
Democrat of sufficient ability and trust
worthiness to place at the head of his
Cabinet and was compelled to take a
Mugwump, stirs up wrath among the old
wheel horses, who habitually boast of
the rock-ribbed, unchangeable, Jeffereo
ni&n and Jacksonian Democracy.
Thirty six years of continuous service
in Congress, a length of uninterrupted
legislative ork unequalled by that of
any other living American 36 years in
the service of his country and his state
that is the remarkable record of Sena
tor Henry Lawrence Dawes, of Massa
chusetts, which closed at noon on March
4th.
The grand rush of ottice seekers to
Washington has made Mr. Cleveland
'tired" and somewhat irritable, while
S-cretary Laruont, popularly supposed to
be not only tie source of "influence" but
a perfect fountain of amiability, it is said,
had had to hire a "bouncer" to fj'-ct too
pc-rsisU'nt Temocrats from his office. The
truth is that there are too many Demo
crats and not enough ofiicts.
Of the forty standing committees of
theSenatf the South is to have thirty
one, and the vast interests of the coun
try depending on legislation at Washing
ton are to be largely controlled by men
from the Southern States. The great
tax-producing, populous, patriotic Xortb
is to have nine chairmanships, mostly of
inferior committees. The South ol jects
to the cry of sectionalism. Meanwhile it
takes everything in sight.
The machinery for the trans-fur of of
fices to faithful adherents of the Democ
racy is rapidly being put into working
order, and an important addition to it
will be recotrnized in the nomination of
Rolert A. Maxwell, of New York, to be
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
the official beadsman of the Poet Office
Department. Maxwell is industrious and
energetic, and he will find the ax ready
sharpened to bis hands.
Notwithstanding the solemn and pon
derous phrases of Mr. Cleveland about
civil service reform, the scrabble for
spoils is being hotly waged. The Na
tional Capital swarms wiih applicants
for positions, and the entire country is
being canvassed by seekers after local
and paltry offices. It is evident there
fore that the rank and file of the party
take but little stock in the proclaimed
civil service reform policy of our new
President.
J 1st now the World's Fair Board of
Pennsylvania is being subjected to taunts
and criticism upon all sides for its failure
to make a proper display with the money
appropriated for the purpose by the Leg
islature. Lieutenant Governor Watres is
of the opinion that the exposition is too
important to have Pennsylvania improp
erly repreeen.ed, and he thinks the Leg
islature and not the commission ought to
wy whether more money should be
spent.
Tue announcement that in apportion
ing the offices Mr. Cleveland ha9 deter
mined not to recognize newspaper men,
will prove a sore disappointment to our
Democratic brethren of the press. As the
President owes more to the press of his
party than to any other source, this de
termination of his, if it be true, smacks
somewhat of ingratitude. The wealthy
editor of the "great" dailies may quietly
acquiesce in this slap in the face, but the
hard working, influential editors of the
rural press will feel the slight, and natu
ral iy, though perhaps covertly, resent it.
Much, very much, of our new President's
reputation and strength is das to the
constant, systematic support and puff
ery of his party prea. Without it he
would to-day be an obscure citiz3n ia
the walks of private life.
ins wtur::gig of politics has never
brought b;fore to.3 public a more s'.uzn
lar and anamolouq case than that of II il
ary A. Herbert, jut made Secretary o;
the Navy by President Clereland.
Mr. Herbert was a Confederate soldier
during the late war, and a law on the
Statute books prohibits the appointment
of any person "who has served in anv
"capacity in the military, naval or civil
"service of the so-called Confederate
"States, or of either of the States in in
surrection, to any position in the army
"of the United States." And yet here is
Col. Herbert, late of the Confederate ar
my, holding a position which makes
himafter the President the command
er of the entire Navy of the United
States, with power to order and exact
obedience from the admirals and com
tnanderswho commanded the fleets of
the Union against which he was in arms.
The absurdity of this condition of af
fairs shows that the time for the repeal
of this law is at hand.
IV Msg tbe last political campaign the
Democrats "rang tbe charges" on the ex
travagance of the 51st, which contained
a small Republican majority and howls
against tbe "Billion dollar Congress," as
tbey denominated it, burthened the air.
As uual they lied 1 The appropriations
of the first sesnion of the Fifty-first Con
grcss amounted to SkUt 398,510, and those
of the second session to $525,018,672, a
total offJS,417,IS3.
One of the first moves of the immense
Democratic majority returned to the last,
or Fifty -second Congress, was to pass res
olutions pledging themselves to econom
ical appropriations. Ti.en they went to
work appropriating the public funds as
follows: At the first session $307TG00.13i
was the sum voted away, and $519,22".,
SCI was appropriated daring the session
just closed, making total of f l.OJo.Sii.
WO, thus beating its Republican prede
cessors by fUS,4tM,0t5. The last Con
gress, therefore, w ith its one hundred
and forty-eight Democratic majority,
goes on record as the real Billion dollar
CocgTess. j
Texas, which irive Cleveland 110,000
Dluralitr. thought she was entitled to
something in return and accordingly de
manded the Attorney Generalship, and
it is given to Massachusetts. It then
anked for the Mexican Miwion and In
diana got it. Where is "Buck" Kilgore
that be don't kick against Mugwumps
running away with the most luscious of
the spoils? If it was a bill to pension
some poor old Tnion soldier, "Buck
would be on hand encased in his heavi
est pair of boots, and kicking like a typ
ical steer from his own state.
Tnlegeudof the Kilkenny cats, who
devoured each other, save their caudel
appendages, is about having its counter
part in the battle of the fierce Democra-
sies of 2ew York. Senator Lull, too is
bitterly hostile to Mr. Cleveland, runs
the temocratic party of that state - and
dictates the political appointments. Con-
seanentlv.all the office holders are Hill
and anti-Cleveland men. Naturally,
this state of affairs is not in consonance
with the interests of Mr. Cleveland, and
Le has started out to rectify and "even
od" matters br acDointine Biasell, his
tried friend and ally, Postmaster Gener
al, and supplementing this by making
Maxwell, a ferocious anti-Hill man,
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General. It
goes without saying, therefore, that eve
ry postmaster in the State and City of
New York will not only be a Cleveland,
but an anti-H ill man. Each city, village
and cross roads will thus have a postmas
ter who will above all things be a Cleve
land henchman, around whom will be
rallied all the Cleveland, anti-Hill ele
ment, and some of the party in the State
will be split up into rival and warring
factions, who, Kilkenny cat fashion, will
devour each other. The jolly war is on,
and Itepublicaus are mirthful specta
tors of the contest.
A Toast to M'Klney.
The day prior to the inauguration Gov.
Russell, of Ma-., entertained at luncheon the
membcreof Congress from Massachusetts.
Gov. Euasell, in the course of the entertain
ment, proposed a toast to Gov. McKinley, of
Ohio, and aiU-J that U be drauk standing.
He caid:
''Gov. McKinley a manly man in mis
fortune. Sironger than politics is friend
ship, and stronger than political principles
is human sympathy."
Grandly Heroic in Retirement.
Col. A. K. McClure, after telegraphing
fixim Washington to the Philadelphia Twit
an account of the inantural ceremonies to
far as they related to President Develand,
refers to Ex-Presideat Harrison in these clos
ing words: " With all the floodtide of sor
row and bereavement that has taiien upon
him he was srxa&'.Y heroic in manner and
exhibited no trace of personal disappoint
ment over his retirement, but when told in
the oppressive solitude that re gned about
him of the dignity with which be had borne
himself in his great trust and of universal
esteem that would go with him into private
life, there was a moisture of the eye and a
grasp of the hand that told how grateful
were the offices of public respect when thty
silver the clouds of the setting sun."
No Annexation Just Now
I resident Cleveland sent to the benate on
Thursday a message withdrawing the Ha
waiian treaty, which has been pending in
that body. It is understood that the Presi
dent is opposed to the treaty in its present
form. A gentleman who has talked with
the President said yesterday that another
treaty would he made. It is understood
mat me r resident will suggest tbat a com
mittee be appointed to visit the Hawaiian
Islands this year, during the interval be
tween the adjournment of the special session
of the Senate and the reconvening of the
next Congress.
The Ban Francisco Fjcnmxaer yesterday
published a lengthy slaiememt oiade by
Liliuokalani, the deposed y leen of Hawaii
She closes ber statement as follows : "The
Queen of Hawaii raises ber solemn note of
protest, nawaiians detest the very thought
of annexation. It is not an'aonism, as yet.
to the Cnited State, but it istbeoverwheliu
ing grief with which our native eyes shall
behold any surmounting our four shores
except the one which is associated indelibly
with the memories of our glorious past
glorious, not in might and battle, but in the
noble efl ;rts of our nation to clothe itself
with the fair robe of enlightenment, religion
and commerce."
Cleveland's New Rules
Washington, D. C, March 10. President
Cievthtnd announced today that there would
be exceptions to the three rules which be has
adopted for appointments, namely: To let
Republican oliice holders throughout tbe
country serve out their terms ; not to reap
paint officeholders of his fjnner adminis
tration, and not to appoint editors, as Mr
Harrison did. "There are exceptions to all
ruler," the President is quoted as siying by
the numerous Senators and Representatives
who have b;en asking him to-day about
these piles, "and there will be to mine but
they will be few in number." As the Tresi
dent's piles have spoiled so many of the
plans which the Senators and Representa
tives had made in addition to disappointing
the hopes of many of their constituents.
they Lave been endeavoring ever since tbey
heard them to find loopholes in them through
which to get at tbe particular appointment
which they desire.
Almost every Senator and U.'preseniati ve
who saw Mr. Cleveland to-day asked him
about his rules, lit told theoi ail frankly
that he woul i he governed by these rules
except ia rare cases. He said that he knew
of a few men"w;io had filled offices under
Lis former administration with exceptional
success who miht be reappoinied. He abo
sua, in answer-to a q-ies.ion, mat waere a
Demncratic officeholder bud been removed
by Mr. Harrison before the expiration of
bis term there might be ground for removing
the RfpuVioin incumbent before the expira
tion of his term. A .iother q lesticn asked
of Mr. Cleveland by one of his Congres
sional visitors was what be wj-ild do ia re
gaid to the offices placed under the Civil
Service rules by Mr. Harrison after he had
been defeated for re-election, as for example,
free-delivery post offices, which in many
cases were filled by Republican politicians
wfco were most active in the campaign. To
this Mr. Cleveland is reported as saving
"I will take that matter under consideration
when these offices are reaehed."
The Ex-Office Holders.
Wasbisgtos, March 9. Representative
Springer, who was one of the president's
callers to day, asked him if the rale of not
appointing men who had held office under
him four years ago was to prevail as reported.
The president replied in tbe affirmative, and
when asked if the rule wa indexible, M r.
Cleveland responded tbat it would 6e so sub
stantially. There might be exceptional and
extraordinary circumstance which might
cause some departures from it, but be could
oot call to mind many possibilities tojustify
change from the policy decided wnon.
Mr. Springer asked if tbe pile was also to
apply to fourth-clan postorSaes Mr. Cleve
land s n-ponse was tbat he had not tho ught
about that, but he gave tbe decidel impres
sion that it would prevail to as a great ex
tent as possible with the small postmaster-
ships.
Cooley Rewards Finally Paid.
The rewards offend for Frank Cooler
have at lt been turned over to the men
ho brought the desperado to the eqd of his
career. The Fayette county commission

m ' '"' ' I I
From tha Stat Capital.
A bill has been passed by the Senate roik
ing election day after 12 o'clock legal
half holiday.
The bill closing the polls at four o'clock on
election day has been reported to the House
with a negative recommendation.
A bill was tntrodaoed into the Legislature
Thursday morning appropriating $1,000,000
for the purpose of purchasing free text books
far the common schools of the state.
Hon. William C. Smith, of Everett, has
introduced a bill providing for the election
of a superintendent to the county alms
house, instead of their appointment.
Representative Ioutbe-t has introduced
a bill to increase the compensation of j ls-
lioeiof the peace, aM-irmen and constables.
The increase proposed is from 3) to 25 per
cent.
Chairman Talbot, of the House Elections
Committee on the Andrew 8. H gby contest,
Thursday presented a majority report, sign-
el by the Republican members, favoring the
eating of William EL Andrews.
The members who go to Chicago at the
expense of the State are not likely to go
back to the Legislature. Tbe legislature will
likely go to Chicago in a body to attend tbe
dedication of the Pennsylvania state build
ing at tbe World's Fair, even though Gov
eroor Pattison has repeatedly threatened to
veto any bill making an appropriation for
such a trip.
A sub-committee of the joint committee
on elections have agreed upon a number of
changes in the Baker ballot law, which will
probably be reported to both bouses soon,
It is proposed to strike out the requirement
that the residence cf candidates shall be
printed on the ballot. The time within
which objections may be filed is lessened
and the time for printing the ballots is in
creased. The number of official ballots re
quired is to be decreased to one set of seven'
ty-five tut every fifty persons on tbe s
sors list, tbe ballots to be delivered to the
proper election offioers on the diy before
election. The number of specimen ballots
is decreased, one for each voter. The per
centage of tbe vote cast in order to secure
party recognition is reduced from three to
two. This will let tbe Prohibitionists in.
An entirely new feature proposed is aa "O,
to be placed at tbe top of the ballot opposite
the party name. A cross placed within this
circle will mean a vote for eicn and every
person under such party name. These are
about all of the amendments to the law that
rill be permitted at this session.
The bouse and senate have been flooded
with petitions and memorials the past week
from the various granges throughout the
rate. These documents relatechietly to Uie
measures tbat have been introduced in the
legislature on oleomargarine, road laws,
equalization of taxation, publication of agri
cultural reports and other legislation in
which tbe farmers are directly interested.
A surprise was frivea the friends of the state
board of agriculture Tnursday by tns pre
sentation of a number of memorials in the
bouse and senate from the various subordi
nate granges in the state, signed by the mas
ter and secretary of each, asking that the
manner of choosing members of the board be
changed. Tbe memorials state that "tbe
present method of electing the county mem
bers of tbe board of agriculture is wholly
vestei in the county agricultural societies,
the majority of which only exist in name,
largely made up of town people, who take
very little interest in agriculture, farmers
being thereby debarred from a voice in the
election of the memtx rs of the board of ag
riculture; that we petition the state legisla'
ture to so amend the law governing the elec
tion of tbe members of the board, so as to
elect by a joint convention of three delegates
from each agricultural society, grange and
kindred agricultural organizations in the
county, to meet at tbe county seat tbe third
Tuesday in August, which convention shall
also fix the time and place of each Farmers'
Institute, and audit tbe accounts governing
tbe expenditures of the ssme, subject to the
opproval of tbe secretary of the board." A
bill will be introduced in the legislature this
week in accordance with tbe suggestions
embodied in the memorial. These memo-
rjils have created much adverse comment
among tbe most active members of the
board, many of whom stand high in tbe
State Grange. The members of the state
board of agriculture, of which Governor Pat
tison is chairman, will oppose any such bill.
Tbe grangers are said to be divided on the
matter and it is not likely tbat the desired
change will be brought about at the present
session.
8. C. THOMPSON THE MAN.
On the Supreme Bench Instead of
Heydrick.
uovernor laltison caused genuine sur
prise wheu he sent to the senate the name of
Hon. Samuel G. Thompson, of Philadelphia,
to be jude of the supreme court to succeed
Justice I'axsoo. Tbe nomination was en
tirely unexpected, as impressions conveyed
to inquirerers at the executive department
were that J udge Heydrick had accepted the
appointment tendered him last week. It
transpires that on February 24 Judge Hey
drick declined the position, and on Monday
morning last ca led upon Governor Pattison
with the information that personal interests
would prevent his again accepting a scat on
the supreme bench.
The next day, according to the story now
told, the governor sent for D. T. Watson of
Pittsburgh, and when that gentleman arriv
ed, offered him the position, but Mr. WaU
on declined. Just how much truth there is
in the story about the sending for Mr. Wat
son cannot be learned, but he was in town
a few days sro, and Deputy Attorney Gen
era Slranahaa is authority for the state
ment tbat Mr. Watson was offered the seat
contingent on his accepting the nomination
for th; place from the Democrats next fall.
He declined because hedid not think the
chances of election good. It is said that the
governor urged Mr. Watson to accept, but
that gentleman did not want the place,
though his reasons for refusing ae not
known here. When he found Mr. Watson
obdurate tbe governor decided that be bad
given enough chances to the western part of
tbe State, and appointed Mr. Thompson.
Mr. inompwas appointment was con
firmed by tbe senate.
j. ne new appointee, aar. ahompson, is a
son of tbe bite Chief Justice James Thomp
son, and is a member of the Philadelphia
bar. He is well known in this city aaan
exceptional lawyer. Mr. Thompson never
had a very extensive court practice, but en
joyed an office practice reputed to be worth
upwaidoftj0,0u0ayear. He was a special
ist in equity cases, and during his supreme
court practice has been si goal iy successful at
times in ths face of principles already estab
lished. His opinions on points of law have
always; been valued by bis fellow lawyers
and often been quoted in the lower courts.
Nominated by Cleveland.
Wasmncrox, March 9. The president to
day sent the following nominations to tbe
senate: Josiah Qnncy. of Massachusetts,
to be assistant secretary of state; Robert A.
Maxwell of New York, to be fourth assist
ant postmaster general ; Isaac P. Gray, of
Indiana, to be envoy extraordinary and
minister plenipotentiary of the United
8'a!es to Mexico: Patrick A. Colli u cf
Massachusetts, to be consul general of the
Lmtcd States at LnJon; F. P. Ga vie of
ew Mexico, to be receiver of DnStir mmav
at Kcsweil, New Mexico.
Earthquake In New York.
New Yoaa, March 8. Manhattan Island
and tbe western end of Loot UWnA .
perienced a genuine earthquake at about I
ed.
o cock this morning. The shock was ac
companied by a sound like the rumbling of
uisiani munaer. 1'eople who happeced to

explosion had occured on Long Island or in

fifteen seconds. Nearly evervbodv in T7.-.

much neglected, and iu consequence we

ply from or of. Speaking of a city we
should say "in Baltimore," and not at. We
have already shown that tri'iA may be used
