Ed. Register.-I see one of your cores
pondents finds fault with my false predic.
tion of the weather. l think he should re.
joice rather than find fault. Does it not
make a fellow feel good to be criticised by
his elder brother: think "Itinerant Ma.

about them; as for being hung on nail /

the two-year old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Lucas, began playing with the

Casually meeting Mr.. William Walk
er, of Crawford county, Mo-, and as
certaining that he had lately returned
from New Mexico, l interviewed him
in regard to its climate, healthfulness,
nature of soil, &c. Found him to be
very intelligent and quite communica-
tive. He stated that the climate was
quite mild-much more SO than it is in
this section of the country. He said
he left New Mexico on Jan. 2Sth, and
that up to that time not enough snow
had fallen in the valleys to be worthy
of mention; that were it not for the
Apaches and other troublesome tribes
of Indians, immigrants would pour in
to that country; that irrigated lands
there produce three crops of rye and
barley annually. Stock-raising and
mining are the principal industries.
Wages in the mines from $3.50 to 81
per day. Health in the mountains very
good; chills prevalent in the valleys.
Farmers in this vicinity are busy
preparing ground for tillage, repairing

same.
Farmers are beginning work, repairing

Wheat looks promising and bids fair for a

in protecting it from freezing out.

The Land Office.

The Bloomfield VindicdtOr claims
that the 14th Congressional District is
entitled to the office of Register OF
Lands, at Ironton, Mo-, for the follow
ing reasons:
First, because it is entitled to one OF
the offices.
Second, because it is the Fourteenth
District.
Third, because there is more vacant
land i'm that district than in the Tenth.
In answering the first we can say
that they have had both offices prior
to the present Administration. Not
for any legal right they had to them or
either of them.
Second, it is entitled to just what it
can get honorably.
Third, after deGucting State and
County Swamp Lands, School and
College Grants, we doubt the truth OF
the assertion.
We do not claim that we are entitled
to the office because this is the tenth
or any other district. Neither do we
believe that either of the applicants
from this district would accept the APP
pointment if the office were located
anywhere else than at their home. Nor
do We believe that a really competent
man from anywhere else would freak
up Lis business and his home for the
money there is now in this office. Then
again, these stickers for rights forget
that there are no less than four other
Congressional Districts i'm this land dis
trict than the Fourteenth. Therefore,
in point of population the 14th does not
contain one-fifth.

HOURS or POsrmEN.
Cooper Union Packed by Advocates
of the Eight Hour Law.

NEW YORK, June 4.-'There was very
little standing room left in the large ball
OF Cooper Union tonight when the mass
meeting to favor the passage OF the eight
hour law, at least In so far as 1t would
benefit post office employees, was called TO
order. The first three rows OF seats had
been reserved for ladies', and they were
filled. Among the gentlemen on the plat
form were Grand Master Workman OF the
Knights OF Labor T. V. POwderly, Rev.
DIR. McGlynn, Of st. Stephens B. O.
church, ex-C0ngressman Willis, George
Blair, ex-senator John Il. Boyd
and Senator Murphy. When Mr..
Powderly modestly took seat on the rear
platform he was greeted with most hearty
applause. j. e. Quinn called the meeting
to order and explained its object. He
then nominated Mr.. Blizzert for chair
man. Mr.. Blizzert declared the postmen
were existing in kind OF slavery and pre-
dicted that any Congressman who wished
TO serve another term would have to vote
fof the bill in question before he could full
till his ambition.
The Secretary read the resolutions as
follows;
Essolged, That we, citizens and organized
work1ngmen of the city OF New York, ON ne
half of the letter cai ers and other post ofl'ce
shall pass the eight hour law now pending.
Realized, That we condemn the superin-
tendents Of the various departments for their
petty tyranny toward their subordinates,
which would disgrace an official in amp mon
archIal country OF the Old World, and stamps
such superintendents as perverters Of Ameri-
can institutions and violators OF the spirit Of
Democracy.
ResoEUsd, That we shall hold responsible at
tho polls every individual OF whatever party
affiliations who shall assist by voice or vote
IN preventing the passage of said bill, and we
pledge ourselves TO follow the example OF the
Typographical Union OF this state when they
defeated the late Republican Presidential
candidate.
The resolutions were adopted unani-
m0usly. Then the Secretary read letters
Of regret from Congressman Tucker, of
Virginia; Truman A. Merriman, w. W.
Phelps and Felix Campbell, Senator War
ner Miller. Robert j. lngersoll, A. g. Har-
mer, of Philadelphia; Gov. Abbott, of
New Jersey; r. b. Thurber, p. Henry

nue. and others. General labor Organiza-
tions also Recommendations promising

pieuse on the Democratic side.
:, Inc motion having been agreed to, the
mouse went into committee Of the whole,
with Mr.. Reagan in the chair. on the sun
dry civil bill, Mr.. Reed remarking that a
very sensible wing OF the Democratic
party had control to-day. This was

OF the House. The pending amendment
was that offered by Mr.. Warner, of Ohio,
proV1ding tnat no money appropriated for
tne Bureau OF Engraving and Printing
shall De used in printing United States
notes OF large denominations in lieu of
notes Of small denominations cancelled
or retired. The amendment was agreed
to by vote OF SO to 70.
SILVER VS.. GREENBACKs.
Then debate sprang I'D over the pro-
prlety OF the amendment just adopted,
Mr.. Bland, of Missouri, vigorously de-
nouncing 1t on the ground that it would
have the effect of interfering with the Cir
culatIon Of standard silver dollars, and
Mr. Weaver, of Iowa, as vigorously sup
porting it and declaring that the standing
OF the greenback must not be disturbed.
RANDALL SICK OF REFORM.

Cannon in presenting an amendment
which would have the effect of placing
twenty-five additional employees of the
Bureau OF Engraving and Printing under

Alabama, occupied the remainder OF the

that the bureau should never have beer
taken from the control of the Navy De
partment and placed under civilian man
agement. The House then adjourned.

DEMOCRATS IN CAUCUS.

Appropriation and Forfeiture Bills
Only to be Passed.
WASHINGTON, June 24.-As Mr.. Ran
DAN observed to-day, both wings of the
Democratic party tapped together in
caucus tonight. The attendance was
large, nearly all Of the Democratic Repre-
sentatives in the city being present. The
proceedings were harmonious throughout.
Contrary to common expectation, moth
ing was said directly about the tariff
or pension tax proposition. The
state of business in the House
was discussed, and Speaker Carlisle
by request ran over the cGlendar, calling
attention to the almost inexplicable con-
fusion of the special orders on every sub
lect OF general Importance. After hear
ing the statement the caucus decided to
select three members which should be
charged with the duty Of selecting and
pushing Co point OF action such OF the
measures as 1t should deem proper to at
tempt 10 pass, and Messrs. Carlisle, Nor
risOn and Randall were named as the
members Of the committee.
SENTIMENT OF THE CAUCUS.
The sentiment Of the caucus seemed to
be ia favor OF passing the appropriation
bills aud bills declaring forfeiture OF land
grants, and then adj0urning. soon after
the selection Of the committee Mr.. Ran
dali rose aud asked what the action OF the
caucus meaut--whether 1t meant an ad-
iournment bv July 10. There was n
hearty chorus of 'syes. yes" from all sides.
Rather rogretfully, it was OBJ
served, Mr.. Randall assumed that
the action meant also that the
appropriation bills and few bills already
on the calendar would be the only meas
ures likely 10 secure action at this session,
aud 10 this assumption there was again
expressed hearty assent. While, as be-
fore stated, no direct reference was made
TO the tariff the members present at the
caucus came away under the impression
that there would be no further effort made
this session TO consider any tarin Dill
WHAT THE MEMBERS ADVOCATED.
Mr.. Holman spoke OF the land grant for

command more votes in the House than
any other.
Mr. Weaver, OF Iowa, urged that imam

MIR. Reagan spoke or the interstate
