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.

FROM SUBURBAN POINTS.
(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.
The sporting population of town will
he at F reeland on Friday evening, at
tending the ball of Division 20, of this
place. The committee that has charge
of this atfair is composed of hustlers,
and there is a good time in store for
the people who will be there.
Anthony O'Donnell spent yesterday i
with Drifton friends.
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

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.

female remedy, is sold and recom
