President Cleveland's motive in hav ing all his callers state the nature of their business to his private secretary before being admitted to his private of fice has been so grossly misrepresented that I present the facts, which follows: So much of the president's time has been occupied in listening to congress men and other prominent Democrats for olfices for their friends that he has found it necessary to stay up the greater portion of nearly every night in order to | perform his more important duties. In ' order to put a stop to this he determined to place the duty of choosing all officials upon the members of his cabinet, he ac cepting their recommendation as final, and in order to save his own time, as well as that of bis callers, those who call at the White House are required to state the nature of their business to Private Secretary Thurber. If it be about an appointment the new rule is explained and they are referred to the member of the cabinet who has jurisdiction of the office wanted; if about public business they are at once taken to the president. The change is popular with congressmen and will strike most people as being a sensible one. The most notable incidents of the sil ver debate in the senate this week were the appeals made by Senators Butler, of South Carolina, and Blackburn, of Ken tucky, to the senate to end the contro versy by compromise. Although com promise has been talked about privately by senators this is the first time that it has been publicly advocated on the lloor of the senate. Senator Voorhees still stands out against compromise and in sists that the bill for unconditional re peal can be passed. Predictions are freely made that the iiuestion will be disposed of next week, but the same sort of predictions have been made before and it still remains undisposed of. The senate is having more or less difficulty now in keeping a quorum, and if some agreement is not soon reached on this silver question it is doubtful whether a quorum can be kept here. The senators are tired of the debate, and there is no way to force a vote. How much truth there is in the talk among Republicans about the Demo cratic members of the house committee on ways and means being afraid to attack protection may be inferred from the following remarks made by a Demo cratic member of the committee: "The new tariff bill will be framed on the lines laid down by the Chicago platform, even if it results in the defeat at the polls of every Democratic member of the committee. We shall hew close to the line and you can rest assured that no matter what else is done it will be found that the tariff bill when it is reported will be completely in accord with the Democratic platform. The Republicans who are trying to create a contrary im pression are doing a foolish thing. It is much better that the country should know at once that the high protective duties of the McKinley law will be en tirely wiped out by the new law." The Republicans have allowed the de bate in the house on the bill for the re peal of the federal election laws to go by default, keeping more or less quiet by order of Boss Reed. S. Several newspapers of the county quoted from the Saunterer's column last ■week and raised quite a commotion in political circles by crediting the corres pondent's sentiments to the TRIBUNE, Some of these papers did so because their editors cannot tell the difference between an editorial and a communica tion, and others misrepresented the au thorship for the purpose of creating trouble in the party. PICKED CP J>Y THE WAY. THINGS SEEN AND HEARD IN THE TOWN AND VICINITY. Matters of a Local Nature Commented (pon and I'laced Before the Headers of the "Tribune" In Large Letters -Some Paragraphs May Interest You. In Thursday's issue of the Hazleton Plain Speaker I noticed an editorial that hears the marks of inexcusable ignorance and betrays a woe ful lack of good sense and journalistic judgement. Its writer endeavors to make it appear that the editor of the TRIBUNE lias predicted a lot of discouraging things about the ' Democratic county ticket, and says the "dissatisfaction rack et," as he calls it, "is being played by the Republican or gans, and the TRIBUNE editor bit too easily." Inasmuch as it was in this department of the paper only that the subject has yet been referred to, the Speaker's editor might have been more careful before at tributing my writings to an other—one who, so far as I know, is not in the "biting" business, and who usually ex presses his political opinions when the occasion demands without advice or instructions from Hazleton. This is the second time the Speaker has been guilty of such misrepre sentation. Aside from his unpardonable blunders in terming the para graphs of a correspondent's let ter as the editorial views of a paper, the Hazleton writer goes on to state "there is no ground for the implied dissatisfac tion." I beg leave to differ again with this great know-all. If he will broaden his views somewhat and step outside of the city he can easily find, I am sorry to say, evidences of dissatisfaction which are too I strong and deep to be passed by lightly. Certainly, if he is like some Hazletonians, he will imagine that town constitutes the entire lower end and refuse to believe that any voter would dare to differ from the opinions expressed by the city people. But they do, occasionally, and it is not necessary to go back later than last November to find out how a Democratic candidate was left by relying upon Hazleton to rule the fourth district. I mention this merely to remind the Speak er's editor that his city does not always possess all the political knowledge that floats through these parts, although Hazleton is the only place recognized by Democrats when offices are given to the lower end. Still, as the Newsdealer said the other day, in speaking of the situation down here, "it may change, so let us wait and see." I will likely be here to note all changes, if any occur, but until the tide turns my readers will get the true facts of the campaign whether they agree with the Speaker or not. Insane people are not the most pleasant companions to have about the house, especial ly when they are possessed of an uncontrollable desire to flourish shooting irons. A young man of the Points went off his base recently and the family decided to send him to the institution at Danville. It seems that payment is required from the friends of patients sent down there, and the folks upon learning this did not feel inclined to invest any cash in that way. The young man, who is rational at times, got wind of the matter, and also ob jected most emphatically to spending money in the manner proposed. Ho claimed that powder was too cheap and lie would soon lessen his relatives' bother and trouble with him. Finally the family concluded to get rid of the insane man and he was shipped off on a visit to his sister at Tamaqua. How she will fare with him | remains to be seen. Foreigners prove themselves very clever in learning many things in this country besides the English language. Down in Deringer there is an Aus trian who will be a millionaire or a felon some day unless ho mends his ways. Last summer he had a cousin in the old country who wanted to come to America. Austrian No. l came to Freeland aud purchas ed a passage ticket on time from Peter Magagna, who, be sides keeping the Tyrolese hotel, acts as agent for a New York steamship company. No. 1 sent the ticket to his couisn in Europe, and in coming over No. a managed, lie thought, to evade the ticket-taker and ar rived at Deringer with his cardboard free from any mark to show that it had been used. Then a bright thought oc curred to No. 1. Procuring the ticket from No. 2 he came to Freeland, told Magagna his cousin was not coming across this year and gave the ticket back to the agent, who return ed it to the company and asked for the S2O he had paid for it. A note from New York, how ever, informed Peter that tick et 1034 had been used and was not redeemable. Now Mr. Ma gagna is after Austrian No. 1, who finds himself accused of attempting to defraud the steamship company and for failing to pay for the ticket at the time agreed upon. Both No. 1 and 2 are shrewd gents, and are destined for something higher than slate pickers if roguery can accomplish it. I had the pleasure a few days ago of meeting on Centre street a gentleman who was at one time a resident of Beaver Meadow and later of Hazleton —J. J. McGarvey, of the Phila delphia Times• Mac is a splendid example of what push and persistence can accom plish. He has jumped from provincial (Hazleton) journal ism to the staff of one of the most aggressive metropolitan newspapers, and not only is he thoroughly equipped for his chosen vocation, but he knows a good operation in real estate when he sees one and it was business in the latter line that had his attention when I met him.

I have been a sufferer for a number of years with catarrh in its worst forms. Had constant headnches, matter drop ping in the throat, dizziness, nose stop ped up, difficulty in breathing and no doubt would soon have been a consump tive, had I not met Dr. Riegel. Before that time I had tried every well-known remedy and doctored with many physicians, not only of Hazleton but of New York and Philadelphia, but could get no relief anywhere. As soon as Dr. Riegel began treating me I felt relieved and continued to improve until now I feel like a new man, and knowing that there are many others suffering as much as I did I write this for publica tion, so that others may avail them selves of Dr. Rirgel's treatment before it is too late. He can cure you if you take it in time. I am willing to answer any letters of inquiry from persons wishing to consult him. James McCool, 189 North Wyoming Street, Hazleton, Pa.
