The Truckmen's Troubles.

In another column we present trans
cript Of the record of proceedings of the
meeting of commission merchants and
transportation agents held at the office of
the Ocean Steamship Company in New
York on the 10Th inst, together with the
call for the same, and a comprehensive
summary of the vexations of the trade
in vegetables, etc., the causes of the
same and some remedial suggestions,
from the pen of Mr.. G. d. Owens, Gen
eral Agent of the Florida Dispatch
Line.
Nothing could be more frank than
Manager Haines' expressions of opinion
at the meeting in question. In our view,
his counsel to the merchants, "Give the
best advice you can" draws their line of
duty as clearly as it can be drawn, aud
we would venture to suggest to the grow
ers that a concert of action and a recog-
milton Of the community of their inter
ests would supplement his timely coun-
sci.
A way out of the trouble surely can be
found. and we have no hesitancy in ex-
pressing our confidence that Manager
Haines and the other gentlemen con-
nected with the transportation lines will
be found ready and willing to assist the
growers to the best of their ability.

The Treasury Queen.
Correspondence Philadelphia Times

Correspondence PhttddetphlG Times.
The stoppage of the Treasury inquiry
at this particular juncture, first an
nounced in these dispatches, creates
considerable gossip and speculation.
There is more surprise expressed in the
Treasury itself than anywhere else. Per-
haps this is because many Of the irregu-
larities are there more familiar, and the
results of thorough investigation more
fraught with personal consequences.
The discovery of the woman in the
case" and the probability of the develop
ment of an ugly scandal affecting the
character of public official near to the
Secretary has contributed much to the
sensation. The influence of this woman
has been felt in the Treasury for several
years. She is plump, handsome and
shrewd, and has swayed the powers that
be with rod of authority that she has
long been considered the practical en-
bodiment of power itself carrying in her
conquest the disposal of clerks and clerk
ships at will So notorious has this be-
come that it IS not necessary to mention
her name in this connection, since every
one at all familiar with Treasury
matters can name her and her official
representative at once whenever the sub
ject is mentioned AS the female mem
Der of the Pltney ring she is feared by
the petty chiefs of the Treasury, while
subordinates fawn upon her as the
shortest way to official favor. On
Christmas day she is the recipient of
testimonials from many sources, this OPP
portunity being seized upon by the syco-
plants to placate the wrath and win
the favor of the man who is openly
named her consort. Not one who would
hold place dare raise a whisper of COM
plant about the rule of this Treasury
Queen. Loaded with presents, fawned
upon by subordlnates, feared by chief
clerks and hated by contemporary favor
ties, what wonder is it that Custodian
PitneY should lay at her feet the choicest
gifts which could be charged to
the contingent fund? When the
investigating committee got down 10
her sealskins, house and furniture and
the mysterious relations existing Tween
the queen of the ring and the rea lord of
the Treasury, it found itself on danger-
Gus ground. Not only that, but it found
itself suddenly snuffed out of existence.
No one can, probably, accuse Secretary
Window of knowingly covering up this
sort of business. He is simply ruled by
the interested parties. The effect, how
ever, is the same.

Why State Senator Jacobs was With
drawn


1t is a somewhat surprising c:rcum-
stance. remarks the Baltimore Sun. that
the Democratic members of the New
York Legislature should have nominated
a candidate for the United States Senate
who is, by the terms of the State consti-
tuition, ineligible. Section z of article 8
of the New York constitution reads as
follows:
mo member of the Legislature shall receive
any civil appointment within the State, or to
ernor, the Governor and Senate. or from the
Legislature during the time for which he shalt
have been elected; and all such appointments
and all votes given for any such member or
appointment shall be void"
The United States Senate passes upon
the qualifications of its own members,
and could of course disregard this pro-
vision of the New York constitution if a
Senator-elect should present proper Gre
dentials, and should be under no other
disability, but it would seem that the
Governor of the State would be bound to
obey the constitution and withhold the
certificate of election. The sudden with
drawal of State Senator Jacobs as cam
didate for the seat which Mr.. Conkling
vacated and the selection of Hon. Clark
son N. Potter as a candidate, was occa-
stoned by the apprehension that the joint
convention might declare the votes cast
for an ineligible candidate to be void,
and certify the candidate receiving a
majority of the remaining votes as duly
elected. This of course would be piece
of sharp practice. but the letter of the
State constitution would stand in the
way of those who should undertake to
oppose it.

The Navy Department has issued an
order prohibiting women from residing
on board vessels of the United States
navy in commission for sea service, or
to be taken as passengers on such YES
sells under any circumstances. This
order was made necessary to prevent a
practice which seemed to be growing up.
It is suggested that the Secretary OF the
Navy would do well to 60 step farther
and issue an order against the very COM
mon practice of United States ships of
war being used as excursion and pleas
ure steamers off Washington and vicinity
for both women and men, under the
thin guise of visits of official inspection.
The fact that this practice has prevailed
for many years makes ID difference as
to the prOpriety Of it.

Colonel Gordon in his Central africa
states the King of Abyssinia cuts off
the noses of those who take snuff and
the lips Of those who smoke. The King
is hated more than Theodore was. Cruel
to degree, he does not, however, take
life. He cuts off the feet and hands of
people who offend him. He puts out
their eyes by pouring hot tallow into
their ears. You can buy nothing with
out the Kings order; and no on one
will shelter you without his order-in
fact, no more complete despOtism could
exist 1t cannot last, for the King will go
from one madness to another.

Senator Conkling's loss of prestige
and power was forcibly illustrated in
New York city last Tuesday night. The
Republican Central Committee, which
formerly existed alone to do his bidding,
was only prevented from declaring
against him by stalwarts absenting
themselves and thus breaking quorum.
1t had been determined to offer a reso-
luton censuring Conkling and Platt,
and protesting against their reelection.
The Conkling members, after canvass,
concluded that such resolution, if
offered, would be adopted, and to pre-
vent it they absented themselves, leaving
the committee without members enough
to transact business. The administra-
tionists, who are now in the majority,
threaten to reorganize the Central Com
mittee unless the Conkling men attend
to their duties as members.

The discussion on the motion for an
adjournment in the joint convention at
Albany yesterday revealed the fact that
the majority were of the opinion that one
ballot daily was a sufficient compliance
with the law of Congress. 1t does not
appear that the grand jury is as yet busily
occupied, but if the coming week ''pans
out as well as last in materials for in
quiry, it may be that the virtuOus So
Ions may be so engaged elsewhere that
even one ballot can't be taken. The
Albany Argus tells them that they can do
the State but one service, and that is to
go home and stay there. for on any cleo
ton they might make crime would rest.

The syndicate of liars who attempted
to crea0 panic in the stock market of
this country by a false report of the
death of Jay Gould. were successful in
their schemes in England, inducing
many English papers to publish tele-
grams declaring the crops of this coun-
try complete failure. All American
securities dropped, and the conspirators,
it is presumed, reaped rich harvest.

THE LocUsTs. Riley has, in a
measure, quoted the fears of the West
ern farmers by his exhaustive and well

by showing that the clouds of insects
now so dreaded by them are not the de-
structive grssshopper, but what should
be known as the periodical harvest fly, 4"
which appears at regular intervals of
from thirteen to seventeen years.

The lordly Roscoe is losing his head.
Our dispatches state that he came down
to a corridor brawl with Senator Madden
at the Delevan House, but got as good
as he sent. We are not informed OF the
endearing terms exchanged, but it would
appear that Madden's offense must have
been infamous, as the elegant boss is not
so cheerful" as reported, and got in
contact with something stronger than
Bay rum.

An old Kentucky law makes it posi-
bic to sentence a man to imprisonment
for life on his third conviction of grand
larceny. The first time that this ex-
IRENE penalty was imposed in many
years was in the case of Elijah Carter,
who stole dozen pigeons, and the Court
of Appeals has just decided that the
statute is unconstitutional, because the
punishment is unusual.

The Turkish Government has adopted
a novel method for preventing the circu-

nothing more nor less than the actual
suppression of the postal service. The
local post offices in Constantinople have
been closed, and a circular has been
issued calling on the authorities in the
interior to do the same, and also pointing
to the probable suppression of the postal
service between Constantinople and for
