DOMEsTIO,

ACCORD OF TIE PRESIDENT AND sECRE-
TARY ON THE FINANCIAL QUESTION.
WASHINGTON, May 25,-An attempt is
being madc by certain newspaper corres~
pondents to create the impression that the
President and Secretary Sherman are not
In accord on the financial question. It can
be stated, on the contrary, that Secretary
Sherman was chosen Secretary of the Treas,
ury by the President for the very reason
that his views as set forth in his course IN
the Senate were in exact accordance with
accordance with those of the President, and
therefore in his selection there would be no
doubt as to the financial policy of the adj
ministration, which would be carried out
on the same line by entrusting the developr
ment of the financial policy to theSecretary.
1t was designed by tho President that he
could then give his attention to other i'm.
portant questions Of State. 81,

the READING FIRE.
READING, May 25.-The fire was discov-
cred at 5.25 last evening by woman living
in one Of the small dwelling houses to the
east of the pattern shop. She saw smoke
coming out of room used for storage of
patterns.
The alarm was at once given and the Fire
Department was Oh the ground in few
minutes. The building was stored with 60
much combustible material that tho fiemsn
could not check 1t before the entire bui ldlng
was burnt. The wind was from the north
by east, and carried great volumes Of sparks
over thickly built up portion of the town.
Many houses were on fire, but were put
out before any serious damage was done.
The buildings burnt were one storied and
built Of stone with slate roof. The wallis
are still standing, but the entire interior
with the machinery, appears to have been
destroyed.
The burnt building constituted part of
what is called the Scott Foundry, ,and 10 ore
Of the seven establishments Of seyfert. Nc
Manus & Co., in Reading. Its loss will not
Interfere in any way with tho work of the
great rolling mills, tube works, plate works
Or furnace. The entire loss will not bs over
1000, and will probably not exceed $7o,-
100. The insurances, as before stated, are

,es upon them to the extent Of $3.50 600, for |

JUSTICE TO GEN. HOWARD.

JUSTICE TO GEN. HOWARD.
-
Gen. Howard has probably been the worst
abused and most grossly m~isrspresented
military man in the service. His recent
campaign against the Nez Perces has been
the subject Of much ridicule from the pens
of correspondents who wrote either. igno
rantly or maliciously.
The following from the Inter-Ocean Of a
recent date is in exact accord with the state
ments of the chief officers aud many of the
soldiers of Howard's command who spent
an evening in Yankton last week; who
shared with Howard the hsrdships and per-
ills of one of the most exciting, energetic
and laborious campaigns that was ever exc
cuted against the Indians. These parties
were not only enthusiastic in praise of their
chief when speaking Of his able generalship,
hut paid him the warmest tribute for per-
sonal daring aud selfsacriice. The Inter
Ocean says !: 4
1t is said that Gen. Howard failed to over
take Joseph because he would insist on hav-
ing his men keep Sunday in camp. The
fact is, however, they never stopped for this
purpose that during the march Of 1000
miles, occupying nearly five months, they
stopped to rest, all told. only four days.
And tina was done at the imperative rom
mand of the army surgeon. For the whole
time of the march the daily average Of the
story that he peddled out Bibles to the SOL

have had Bibles to give them; but there was
not the in the force, the general himself
only having q DAILY Food, selection of,
Bible texts, which he carried in his vest
pocket.
Again, it was said that he was DELAYED by
his wagon trains. He started out without
any wagons at all, using only pack mules.
In course of the march in Montana, when
ever he could, he impressed teams into his
service to carry provisions to the wounded
and sick, and at the earliest moment, when
they were either not absolutely needed or
else could not be used to advantage, dropped
them and pushed on. The Indians had the
advantage OF him in an abundant supply OF
fresh ponies and. mules, and yet never. go,
any further ahead Of their pursuers than
they wereat the start. @ -
As to General Gibbon the facts are that
in spite of the most desperate fighting, he
was finally surrounded, and had not Genera
Howard arrived as he did there would hav,
been left of him and of his command jus
as much as was left of Custer and, his brave
troop. And as to General Sturgis, his splen
did management of his forces, alike on the
march and in battle, deserve and receive thu
highest praise. And no one was more will
ing that he should have it than Genera

has recently been received there, We. repro

An important addition Hes been made to
the display of the ma ional immigration bu-
reau in machinery hall. It is . large col
lection, comprising the best articles of the
agricultural exhibition held at Yankton,
Dakota, on the Sd, 4th and 9Th of this
month, and was sent, in behalf of that ter
ritory, by the Governor, John L. Penning-
ton, and the secretary of the agricultural
department Of Dakota I.sE. West. Governor
Pennington is one of the vice presidents Of
the bureau. The articles were shipped O.
the 10Th and arrived in the hall on the 23d.
They fairly represent the agricultural pro-
ducts OF the entire territory. although most
of them grew in the vicinity Of Yankton or
of Bismarck, which are situated respectively
in the southeastern and central sections.
These exhi its are remarkable-some for
their novelty aud nearly all for their size.
Among them are specimens of purple

and the turnip. These roots are as large as
a mans head, and grew about NO mile.
north Of Bismarck, in soil eighteen hundred
feet above the level of the sea, and which is
described as being . fair sample ofthat ex
tending thence for hundreds Of miles in all
directions. They were raised in the open
air, without forcing, and from seed sown in
he latter part of Aptil last. The roots are
transplanted like cabbage, which vegetable
they resemble in taste when cooked. With
them are shown a new variety Of potatoes
Scotch Grays), weighing from ten ounces tc
i pound each, and which were planted june
23d and sent TO the fair in September, being
the growth of but ninety days; Hubbard
pumpkins from two and a-half to three fee

and thirty to one hundred and sixty pound:
apiece; radishes from Burleigh county rs
long as a mans arm and as thi as his leg

as a water bucket; "bushel' blood beets, on.
of which could not be forced without diff
Guilty into the sleeve of a mans overcoat
and early rose potatoes as large as a ten
ycar-old boys head, and which, according
to the label, were planted on the Sth of Ma,
in unmanured ground, which had beer
ploughed but Q, ce, and which produced
TWO hundred bushels per acre. This groune
is near Bismarck, and up to the 10Th Of thi;
month there had been no frost there since
the 10Th of April. Excellent yellow corr
from Odessa is shown, which was planted
June 22d and reached Iankton OF the 90
of September.

True CivIL SERVICE REFORM. Dur
ing the election campaign the Repub-
lican journals were loud 10 their deela-
rations that Mr. Hayes would inaugur-
ate ''true" reform in the civil service
Of the country. None bat the very
best men were to be appointed to Office
and no considerations whatever Of party
fealty or service in his election or any
thing else but down right fitness and
qualification were to have any weight
in making appointments, &c. As an
evidence of how faithfully be intends to
perform these promises, McLin, Of
Florida Returning Board Dotoriety,
who with Cowgirl, SO successfully man
ipulated the election returns Of that
State as to cast its electoral vote for
Hayes when it had been given by the
people to Tilden, has been appointed to
the Governorship Of one Of the Terri
tories. One Of bis most eminent quail
6cations is that be is "colored" man.
The next to be rewarded is Cowgirl or

to manifest great displeasure at the idle
ness Of her husband, which went SO far
that she threatened to quit him if he
did not get something to do in a few
days. This was week before last On
Monday of last week Champion went
