The Carbon advocate. [volume] (Lehighton, Pa.) 1872-1924, 1886-01-30

WHAT would seem to be the most
sensible programme fol- dealing with the
Presidents nominations that veg has
been proposed for the Republican Sena-
tors appeared Monday in the Philadcl-
phiL Press. 1t is this:
THE Republican Senators have agreed to
confirm all appointments made by Mr.Cleye-
land to original vacancies, but, IN case Of re-
mogal of Republicans before their terms
have Expired and appointment oi Successors
to fill their place, they win demand the
grounds for removal. Il itbe for cause then
Democratic successors viii be confirmed; I!
II he tina. they are r.muyvd because they are
Republicans, the President vii! be asked "a
50 state, and in that case their successors
will be also confirmed The Republican
Senators Insist that this course Of procedure
is due TO tile competent Republican officials
whose terms have not expired, as THEN re.
mOyal is stain unexplained 10 the public
II Mr. Cleveland has removed them merely
because they are Republicans ,,,s it is with
in his provinccl he win lie asked to 50 state
. and the country can pass upon his partisan
appointments with The fact: bccor, IT,"
Thl. is,every nomination will be con
tirmed, all that the Senate wants t.
know being whether an officholder la!
been removed for moral reasons. foi
cause, as il is generally stated. or fo
reasons of politics. The good iudglnen
that is displayed in this plan consists il
the agreement to confirm all the Presi
dents nominations. The intention 0
solemnly demanding an answer, how
ever, as to whether the cause uf remova
in each case was incompetence or poll
tics can best be described by placing i
about on . par with the original con
ception Of offensive partisanship 1'her,
may have been a good deal of display o
the penalties for offensive parisans, bu
the main Considerations in the transfc
of offices since the present Adminstra
tion began has been politics, and thu
Republican Senators know it as well a.
the rest of us. The amusing point o
their present programme seems to b,
that they think the rest of the countr,
doesn't know it.

THE IIigh-Liccnse Liquor law of Ne

to be tested further as to its constitu-
tionality in the United States Supreme
Court 10y st. Louis liquor firm, which
two years ago sold bill of goods to d.
l.. McGucken, of Omaha. McGucken
refused to pay the bill, and interposei
in deionso the plea that the st. Louis
firm had no license to sell goods in Ne
braska. The st. Louis firm bases its
appeal to the Federal Court or the re-
cent decision in the case Of Walling, a
Chicago drummer against the State

Care of Farm Tools.

A plowman says there are sev. eral easy ways to prevent rust of blows and cultivatorS and to keep the teeth bright. One IS to give them thick coat of iimewash as soon as they are drought in from the field. Another is to dissolve an ounce of resin in four ounces of linseed oil and while hot mix this with a quart of kerosene, and stir well This is laid on to smooth iron with a paint brush. Another way is to diSolve an ounce of cam, phor in some turpentine and add to this four ounces of lard and one ounce of pulverized black lead or stove polish, and mix well. This may be rubbed on with a rag. To remove rust from blows or tools nothing is better than mixture of half a pint of oil of vitrol poured slowly into a qnart of water and apply thi. to the rusted metal. Wash of with water.

The wallingford Mystery.

NEW CLUES SAID TO HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED
IN THE SHOE BOX CASE.
For two weeks Coroner Mix, of New Haven,
says special from that city, mas been some-
where outside OF the state, and the fact has
caused a great deal OF discussion. A rumor was
afioat yesterday that he has been In Chicago,
and this has set the amateur detectives to
thinking that after all the nearly obliterated
"CnicagO" easily as "Cneshire." Two
weeks ago q Wal ingiord man named Pring
told story 10 the effect that during tue
spring he had been hired TO carry v shoe box
and vaiise from the Yaesville station,
near WaliIngford. to David Gaylord's
had one of his hsnds bandaged. The
vaiise was found not long ago anu bore u Chi
c;tso manufacturers name. As near as Priug
cOatd remember the date OF his meeting the
stranger WAS about May 1S. On May "a man
with a bandaged nand stopped at the Walling-
lord hotel and registered as "E. 4. Layander,
Chicago" Pring says that the saranS ger told
twenty-five years, but that the country didn't
seem to cnange its looks much. Oiher remarks
he made showed that ne knew the neighbour
hood we'll and had probably once lived tuere.
He hasn't been Seen in WaIlingfOrd since the
last OF May. 1t Is now the ruling theory that
box I'm which they were found, but in another
OF much the same appearance. Coroner MIX is
believed to have parts OF u box found near the
Ackley place In WailingfOrd. This may he the
original coffin. Toe cuiseiing out OF the adj
dress on The box which was found was done
near tRe place where the box WAS discovered.
the small chips made in the operation being
some trustworthy clues is firmly believed in
WAllingfOrd.
