AuTTLE ARRANGEMENT
Which the Government Thinks It Can
Afford TO Dispense with.

WASHINGTON, September 20.-The Secre-
tary OF the Treasury las called upon the
First Comptroller to decide whether it is
legal for employees or the departments to
extend their leaves of absence beyond the
regular annual leave of thirty days, and
designate substitutes to perform their work
and receive one.half of the pay therefor.
1t is understood that the First Comptroller
will decide that there is nothing in the
statutes to warrant such an arrangement,
and will recommend that the practice be
broken up. Such a decision will be very
unpopular in certain departments, as this
practice has been observed for number OF
years. Daring the past summer several
clerks in the Treasury spent three or four
months at fashionable watering places,
while substitutes performed their work for
half pay. In the same department young
man obtained leave of absence short time
ago TO go out TO Colorado to engagaged in
stock raising; his place is filled by sub
stitute who gets one-third OF 81 400, while
the absent clerk draws the balance OF the
salary at Denver. There are great many
cases of the same character that could be
mentioned which are known to exist in
most every department OF the government,
There may be one or two cases where ne
cessity compcls an emplOye to seek an eX-
tended leave of absence, but the majority
of extended leaves are granted to allow en-
ployes 10 enjoy prolonged pleasure trips
to engaged in private speculations.

When the rob call was concluded Geo:
II. Sharpe said the State Committee had

province of the State Committee to dictate
who shall be temporary chairman. He
would not speak of the influences that had
brought about that suggestion, but he
would nominate E. L. Pitts, and asked for
the ayes and nays.
Mr. Sharpe repelled the suggestion that
the nomination of Madden had been i'm
PEELED by any other reason than those in
the interest of harmony and good feeling.
He seconded the motion that the ayes and
nays be called.

JAY GOULD,
Rises 10 a Personal Explanation.


New York, September 20.-The follow
ing communication to the Stockholder at
tracted considerable attention in Wall
street, this morning:
For longtime the street has asked
when JAY Gould will be ready to bull the
market% The answer is very simple, and
/ am astounded that some OF the enterpris-
ing papers have not given it before. 1t is
simply, never. Mr.. Gould has already re-
tired as an active manipulator-a daily OPP
erator-and will hepceforth be more OF
large investor and broker. Nothing more
nor less. With one million dollars, and
about to become President of the Western
Union Telegraph Company, and with vast
railroad interests that require his constant
attention, what other course is open to
him? There was a time when his whole
time and attention was given to accumu-
lating. Now his whole time and attention
are demanded by his acCumulations. You
ought to have no difficulty in proving the
truth of my assertions. The quicker the
public understand that Jay Gould has re-
tired, the quicker the bull movement will
90 on without him.

PITTsBURGH, September 20.-Committees
representing the pnddlers and iron manu-
facturers, met here to-day, and after q
protracted conference signed last years
scale Of wages. The Wheeling manufac-
turers refused to pay the 25 cents per ton
additional for pudding, which they have
been heretofore paying, and until this diff
ference is settled, there will be
No Resumption of Work
in the Wheeling district. In the Pitts
burgh and Youngstown districts, the mills
will all be in operation again in a day or
two. Secretary Martin OF the Amalgamat-
cd Association, furnished the following
official report of the conference.
A conference meeting was held between
a committee of manufacturers, consisting
of \. F. Heating, Jas. I. Bennett, and David
B. Oliver, of Pittsburgh; F. ]. Hearne and
c. D. Hubbard, of Wheeling, Geo. D. Refs,
Of Newcastle, and Charles H. Wells, OF
Youngstown, on the part of the manufac-
turers, and on the part Of the Amslgama-
ted Association there were present John
Jarrett, VIM. Martin, James Penney, VIII
liam Weihe, P. f. Heeney, John Walters,
John Gearing, John ]. Morgan and John
d. Wood, OF Pittsburgh and C. D. Thomp-
SOD, of Wheeling. A F. Heating was elect
ed chairman and VIM. Martin chosen Sec
retary. After four hours of
Very Friendly Discussion
on the different questions that were
brought up the following conclusions were
arrived at:
That We agree to the starting of the
mills in the several districts on the exact
basis of wages paid in those districts dur
ing the year ending June l. 1882, except the
question OF boiling, nail plate heating, nail
plate plate rolling, the scale of weights
and lengths, and repairs to nail machines
in the Second district" The column of
prices on page II OF the scale ending June
!, 1852, pertaining to the knobbling OF pig
metaD was struck out.
The Scale Was Then signed
by the committee named and the confer
ence adjourned.
Inasmuch as the Wheeling scale for
making nails rules in this city and the
West. the question of weights and lengths
and the paying for repairs on nail machines
by the firm will have to remain in abey-
ance until settled in Wheeling, when it
will be accepted in the other districts. 1t
is not necessary to have the scales
signed by individual Firms,
as the signing of them in nconferencelanswers
for all the mills governed by these scales.
Copies Of the scale will be printed as soon
as posSi@e, and furnished each sub-lodge.
The manufacturers will also be furnished
copy upon application to the Amalgamated
Association office. The strike is now
ended and we sincerely hope that all par
ties directly interested will now bury the
hatchet and go to work with a view to
avoiding any recurrence of a similar con-
test.

End OF the Convention at Rock Island
Rock ISLAND, Ills, September 20.-In the
second days session of the Liquor Dealers
Convention, the Committee on BYLAWS
made report, which was adopted. 1t pro-
yides new .apportionment to conform to
the Senatorial districts, both as to territory
and numbers, except that Cooke county
forms single district, and the Chicago and
Milwaukee Brewers Association constitut-
ed district without territory. The name
was changed to the Liquor Dealers Protec-
tive Association.
The Committee on Agitation reported the
following, which was adopted:
WHEREAS, 1t can easily be demonstrated
that prohibitory legilation is not conducive
TO true temperance, but has, on the con.
trary, always been the cause of increased
drunkenness and crime; and,
WHEREAS, 1t is necessary that this fact
be brought to the knoEledge of the people
who are erroniously believing that the pro-
hibition of the manufacture and sale OF
liquor will stop the use and abuse OF alco-
holic beverages; therefore be it
ResOtred, That it is the duty OF the Board
OF Trustees to see to ii that the proper in
formation as to the true effects of prohibi-
ton, and sumptuary legislation be dissem.-
mated as widely as possible by means OF
lectures, speeches, newspapers, pamphlets,
statistics, and other literature.
ReSOired, That the trade papers now
eSpousing our cause are entitled to hearty
encouragement and support, both on the
part of members Of this association and the
Board of Trustees.
The resolution proposing to endorse the
Democratic platform and State ticket lead
to warm debate in which the fact was
made pretty clear that the members of the
association propose to support the Demo-
cratic party in the present campaign. The
resolution was opposed only on the ground
ALLEVIATE the Republicans and provoke the
hostility of the Republican press. The reso-
luton was finally withdrawn, as was sub

fifty members are present, and the meeting
is held with closed doors. The call refers
to disappointment concerning the Con-
gressional action for the relief of the whis-
ky business, and says in addition thereto,
dangers are arising at the hands of mis-
guided and irrational class of fellow citi-
zens, who are with fanatical zeal and per-
sistency securing the destruction of our
business, through restrictions and prohibi-
tory State legislation. 1t suggests the re-
organization of the association upon an
enlarged and more practical plan.

FLrsHrse. o., September s0.-The Board
Of Flushing township met at Kennon,
Ohio, Monday, But seven members were
present. The principal action Of the Board
was upon the adoption of the course of
study" for ungraded schools. The adop-
ton was ably argued by A. N. Brown and
others, and was finally adopted. This GER
tainly shows Flushing township to be
alive to the interests OF her schools. The
motion to purchase the Buckeye Map Of
Ohio for each sub-district did not curry,
but we believe it will at the next meeting.
The amount in the treasury was not suffi-
cient, was claimed by some, to warrant
their purchase. The committee appointed
to examine the school house in the Todd
district reported the house not worth re-
pairing, so this will necessitate q new one
in the spring.
