WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular CORRESPONDENT.

From our Regular CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON, D. O., Dec. 2, 1884.
The business of Cabinet making for
Mr.. Cleveland is beginning to be decid-
edly active, and will doubtless continue
so until the day of the new Presidents
Inauguration. am very we'll satisfied
that Mr.. Cleveland has good many
surprises in store for those gentlemen
of the party who have been iu the habit
of arr0gating to themselves all the cred
it for party success. There are to be
no representative Democrats of the
silurian period in the Cabinet, such as
Hr. Buchanan surrounded himself
with, but men of activity, vigor and
decidedly progressive notions-men,
too, who have taken the aggressive in
this Presidential campaign and devel-
oped the wonderful vitality of what
was assumed to be a moribund political
organization. | am also persuaded
that whatever of differences of sentl-
ment that may have occurred the other
day on the occasion of Mr.. Hendricks
visit to the President-elect, arose from
this very question of filling the Cabinet
with this mass of fossilized reminis-
cences. The President is Il young man
himself-the youngest we have ever
had. save Mr.. Pierce-and .he very ma
turally would prefer to select for his
advisers men nearer to his own age
than any of those who have been prom
inently named as heing morally certain
nf Cabinet appointment. AS it is
not likely that even Mr.. Cleveland him
self has given the constitution of his
Cabinet thought, it is not more likely
that we shall know anything about it
until the names are actually forwarded
to the Senate for confirmation.
The Commissioner of Indian aff,liTs
| makes bitter complaint that the Gov
ernment Is not eXpending money
enough upon its copper colcred wards
and says that their civilization must be
postponed until the nation gets ready
to meet the great necessity of their ed
ucation. While the Lord helps those
who help themselves. we are decidedl'
J OF the opinion that there is TO be no de.
parture from that intention so long as
the Indian prefers to remain the dirty,
J lazy lOut that he now is. Every dollar
that is spent upon the fellows before
they evince desire to become civilized.
is so much robbed from the American
people to be thrown away upon poker

Origin Of the Roller Skate.

Apropos OF the roller-skating craze so
50 prevalent all over the country now,
the origin of the present pastime may
prove OF some interest to the public.
The roller skate was inYented, accord
ing to newspaper who is supposed to
know. a dozen years ago by Yankee
named Plympton, who, failing to inter
est the people of this country III Invent
to English families stopping at
Martha's Vineyard, where the first
rink was established in 1878 or 1879 A
bout this time Frank f. Winsoe i'm
proved the skate, and commenced to
establish rinkS all oyer the country and
they may now be found in almost every
town of any size. The extent of :be
craze may be judged from the fact that
one firm in Rochester has sold between
5000 and 1000 pairs of skates since the
first of April. The skates are being
continually improved patents on the
same h"Ying been issued almost daII v
during the first of the year, the most
recent of which is one to man who
has affixed an attachment to the rollers
by which they are rendered noiseless.

days ago to dig for roots which are in
demand 10y pharmacists. Three miles
below this place there is an island in the
middle of the stream which attracts at
tention in summer by the luxurious
growth of vegetation which 1t displays,
being uninhabited and uncultivated.
Lewis suggested that they dig for roots
there, as the different shades of green
which he had noticed in the warm sea-
son indicated an UNUSUAL variety Of
herbage. Gearhart consented, and
they hired Il row boat and went to work.
They had not dug long when they came
upon metal box. Eagerly breaking it
open with their picks they found it con-
tanned coins amounting nearly 10 $47,-
900, including $40 900 in Mexican silver
dollars, $50 900 in gold doubloOns and
81 900 In small silver coins, which will
need some polishing TO make them pass
able. The general suppositon is that
the money was placed thece by Captain
Kidd during the sixteenth century. He
was at one time hard pre- ssed on the
Chesapeake Bay by other pirates, en-
tered the Susquehanna river o ID sailed
up to Crooks Rifles, which at that
time formed part of the island.

Fist Blood for Honest Government.


One Of the first visible fruits of Cleve-
lands election to the Presidency is the
willingness and prnmptness uf the long
Indebted Pacific Railroad corporations
TO settle their large indebtness to the
government. They have been the debt
ors of the government to the extent of
scores Of millions. and have deliantly
lobbied Congress to defeat collection
and have manipulated party leaders to
control both the legislative and judicial
departments of the government.
The election of Cleveland is not mis-
understood by the men who have been
plundering the government on gigan-
tic scale. They hoped, labored and
contributed freely for the defeat Of
Cleveland, but they are shrewj enough
to know that they are beaten, and the
defeat means honest settlement. They
know what the honest administration
OF the government on business princi-
PIES means, and they propose to settle
bafore the 4th of March.
One of the most important lessons of
the late election IS the now inevitable
c.ll for open books .scrutiniZad accoun 9
aud honest settlements In all the de-
parJmenS of the goYeI nnent; and he
