FREELAND, PA., APRIL 17, 1893. WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, D. C., April 14. President Cleveland has notified a sen- j ate committee that he will send the last | nominations upon which he wishes im mediate action to the senate in a few days, and adjournment is looked for i next week, unless things'take an unex pected turn. It will not he possible to reach a vote upon the cases of the ap pointed senators at this session. The position of assistant trearurer of the United States at New York, is one of the most important, from a strictly commercial point of view, under the government. He handles more money than any man in the country and has to give a bond of $200,000, something that | comparatively few men can do. The nomination of Conrad X.Jordan, of New York, who was United States treasurer during Mr. Cleveland's first administra- ! tion, to this position gave general satis faction, both in political and business j circles. The investigation of the weather bureau lias so far been confined to the i charges against employes of stealing j from the bureau, which have been more ' than proven by the evidence. The next charge to he taken up will he that of , violating the civil service law by employ- j ing incompetent men at fancy salaries and promoting others for no better j reason than that they were favorites of | some high official or his friends. The opposition to the confirmation of Mr. Eckles to be comptroller of currency j was evidently confined to Republican newspapers. It did not materialize in the senate, as he was promptly coufirm this week, as lie would have been last week if somebody had not started a silly ; story about his nomination being the | result of a clerical error. Secretary Morton smiles at the criticism tired at him because lie abolished the sinecure held by the late Mr. Blaine's ; brother. "I found," said the secretary, ! that Mr. Blaine was drawing $2,000 a year for doing nothing, or at least nothing that was of the slightest value to the government, and he would have 1 had to go all the same even if he had ! been Mr. Cleveland's brother. That's all there is to it." Secretary Herbert is heels over head ; in the making of preparations for the big naval review to begin in Hampton Roads next week. The secretary will, j during the review, be quartered upon a U. S. vessel, in order that he may enjoy seeing the shine taken off the foreign warships. The president will not go to Hampton Roads, but will meet the ves sels in New York. The dismissal of Republican chiefs of divisions in the departments are becom ing quite frequent, and to hear some of! them kick is very amusing. Every man of them thinks they ought to have been i kept in office. Fortunately the heads of! the departments differ with them. S. Dominic F. Sweeney Dead. Dominic F. Sweeney, the secretary and treasurer of the I'ln in Speaker Pub lishing Company, died at his residence in Hazleton on Friday, aged 36 years and 7 months. He has been suffering for the past three years, and the end did not come unexpectedly. Mr. Sweeney was a native of the city in which he died. 11c was educated in the public schools there, and afterwards spent some time at Georgetown, D. C., university and West l'oint. After leaving the latter place he taught school at Ebervale, and in 1882 entered the newspaper business i as manager of the Speaker. He did not remain long in the position as he was offered a more lucrative one as salesman for the Hazleton Casket Company, which he accepted. In 1887 lie returned to the speaker, becoming the partner of the publisher, John I)er sheck. At the death of the latter he took control of the paper with J. L. Mor ris, of Pittston, and to his hard work is due the success which it attained within the next few years. In 1891 a stock company was organized, of which he was elected secretary and treasurer. Mr. .Sweeney was recognized as one of Hazleton's foremost citizens, and was an indefatigable worker for its advance ment. The funeral took place this morning, the remains being interred at St. Gabriel's cemetery. I.it or l'aunt>i. Patents granted to Pennsylvania in ventors last week. Reported by C. A.

(Continued From Page 1.) of the past will be turned into a hard, cokl, unbearable stone, which the liepublicans of the township will kindly let our Democratic friends worship. The Prospect rock is not without its admirers, though the winter was long and severe. Quite a number of our resi dents wandered that way yesterday and the sights appeared to he as charming as ever. The brush fires made their first ap pearance in this vicinity yesterday. The electric railway is beginning to lose its boom in this section. Several of our young people who at tended the "Would Be a Lord" play in Free land on Saturday night, have a very poor opinion of it. ECKLEY CLIPPINGS.

Patrick O'Donnell attended to business I at the county seat on Saturday. Mary Ann takes pleasure in answer-! ing Bobby's special correspondence I I which appeared in last Monday's issue. | Bobby says we advised him to bring his mother's shal along the next time. Now before proceeding further we will give Bobby a hit of advice that might be j of benefit to him when he makes another attempt to correct anything lie sees in print. Bobby, always quote another's statement truthfully. If you can't see straight borrow a pair of specks and | read the little item that rattled you I again. You will find it says, "ask your mother for the loan of her shawl," then i let us know where you found anything 1 about giving you advice in the first note. 1 You request Mary Ann to keepasilent 1 tongue. Allow us to politely tell you | that she has always done so and needs j no instructions on that point, especially ! ! from you. If you mean to keep a silent I pen, Bobby, we must refuse your re-1 ! quest. That will not be done, even for 1 your sake. We see you claim to have come to the j I use of reason. Perhaps that is true, so we won't dispute it, but everybody is i not of the same opinion about it. When j you get on your dignity over an innocent Mittle item that did no more harm than to cause its readers to smile, and then I make it appear as if you were slandered, it is no wonder that the rest of the com-; | munity has doubts of your reasoning j powers. | Bobby, if the town had many more I j like you, newspaper correspondents! i would have a poor life of it in getting up ! a letter for their papers. But Mary Ann knows too well that there are only a few like you. Most people can give and take a joke, so we won't be scared by your answers. The readers of Mary Ann's letters 1 know that man, woman or child have I never been slighted or insulted by our 1 1 writings, and we are responsible to the editor of this paper for any items we send him to print. Wo do not write to j cause any bad feelings among any per | sons, and we do not want you to try and make the people believe that we do. ' Outside of our correspondence work we always mind our own business, and' when any one interferes in our affairs we can giye them what they deserve. We will be on deck with our letter as usual and will not flinch an inch, but Bobby for the future don't meddle with MARY ANN. j EDITORS AND NEWSPAPERS. In order to keep up with progressive newspapers, Kuitor Fowler, of the Pro gram, has equipped his office with steam power. The Wilkes-Barre Lcuilcv has added j to its plant a perfecting press capable of | whirling out 12,01)0 copies per hour. It intends to prove the right to its name. Philadelphia papers make their coun try readers tired with their gush on the "trolley." If other cities and towns 1 were as long deciding about allowing electric cars on their streets there would be but few roads in operation. Phila delphia is notoriously slow, and its newspapers need not advertise the fact, j Regardless of the sledge hammer blows we have been dealing out, the FREELANO TRIBUNE comes to us regularly twice a I week, one of the best and most perfect! edited local papers north of us. This is \ just the kind of a newspaper we like to I read. One that hasn't courage to staud j up and say, "I'll be with you," shouldn't j be recognized by the craft. Luck to you, Brother Buckley.— Coopertiurg Hen tinel. GrowtU of Electric Traction. The growth of electric traction in this country is one of the most marvelous I developments of the century. A leading I street railway journal draws attention to the fact that in the past five years the mileage of street railways operated by electricity has increased from 50 miles to over 0,000 miles, which is a greater mile- | age than that of all the other street rail- [ ways in the country operated by both I animal and other forniß of motive power. ! Of this largo total nearly one-third was built in 1802. No estimate has yet been ' given of the aggregate increaso in value in suburban property that has been im proved by the running of new electric lines, but the amount must bo enormous, j as a large proportion of late installations i have been in suburban districts, partic- j ularly in tho east. In July, 1890, thostreet railway mileage of the country was 8,650 miles. At tho | present time it reaches a total of 11,655 I miles, or an increaso of 8,000 miles in the I past 21 years, During 1892 there was an additional increaso of 1,000 miles. Some | of these lines have been introduced in | the most crowded parts of large cities, | where it is admitted that cable traction I would be more economical. Tho reason j for this lies probably in the fact that it would bo far less economical to chango from electric to cablo power simply for the short distance than to retain the sys tem already in operation.
