PRESIDENT HARRISON must have
been surprised yesterday evening to
receive the following message from
Oil City:
"Thirty,seven men here want the
post'office. Can you do anything for
the suckers? Answer in about seven
years .sr~ "SNooKs."
The explanation of this is simple.
Some idler at the telegraph counter
wrote the name and address of the
President in the proper place on q
telegraph blank, and the next idler
that came in wrote the message. A
clerk found the sheet on the desk and
in the hurry of business it was trans.

JUDGE ERMENTRoUT, of Berks
County, has inaugurated a reign of
terror for trsmps and other unwashed
nomads found within the borders of
the Twenty.third Judicial District
Instead of the customary small fine,
with the alternative of thirty days in
Jail, he imposes upon this class a sen.
tence of twelve months imprisonment
at hard labor, together with costs of
arrest. In this summary process
Judge Ermentrout is presenting a Wig
orous solution to the tramp problem,
for while the average tramp cares
little for temporary incarceration he
has special antipathy for anything
suggestive of labor.-PhiLG. Press.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular Correspondent.)

a lOih Ohl lCE
WASHINGTON, March %, 1889.
The President has so regulated the
calls of the Office seekers, or the hours
during which he may be seen by them,
that he is beginning to get some little
breathing time. He is moving very
slowly, go much so in fact that some
are already beginning to murmur at
his pace. But he says that it is better
to 60 slow and be right than to go
fast and be wrong.
Mrs. Harrison has been quite i'll
this week with severe cold, but is
now much better, though still confined
to her room.
The republican Senators and Rep.
resentatives who have been here since
the adjournment Of Congress, looking
after their quota of the Offices, are be.
ginning to turn their face homeward.
The most of them appear to be salts
fed with the outlook, but of course
there are some grumblers.
The nomination of Eugene Schuy-
ler, of New York, to be Assistant Sec.
retary of State, has been withdrawn
from the Senate, Mr.. Schuyler having
declined the office.
The democratic correspondents here,
failing to discover anything to criticise
in the actions of the new administra.
tion up to the present time, have So.
sorted to downright lying in order to
interest their readers. One Individual
with somewhat active and vivid i'm.
agination, sent off a long story pur
porting to give the full particulars of
how Harrison was trying to force
WanamAker out of the cabinet; even
going to the extent of giving what was
claimed to be copy of telegram
from First Assistant Postmaster Gen.
eral Clarkson to Mr.. Joseph Medill,
editor Chicago Tribune, telling him
that the President wanted to get rid
of Wanamaker and that he (Clarkson)
was to run the Department. THIS lie
had very short life. 1t was prompt.
ly crushed by Postmaster General
Wanamaker, First Assistant Clarkson
and Mr.. Medill.
A discussion, or perhaps it would bC
better to say general expression o
views, during a recent secret session
Of the Senate, as to why the salary o
Congressman should not be doubled
has caused good deal Of discussion
here. The Senate is in favor of it b.
very large majority, but whether I
majority would vote for bill enact
ing such law, is somewhat doubtful
Public sentiment here undoubtedl,
favors such a change it is argue,
that no Representative or Senator cal
keep house in this city on less thai
$4,000 year, and keep up the styl
aud appearance that is expected c
him. 1t is further argued that th
cost Of living in Washington is no,
much greater than it was when tn
present salaries were fixed. But ther
is another side to the question, an
although its upholders are in the nj
nority here, they probably have
large majority of the voters Of tb
country with them. They argue tha
the present salary, $4,000 a year,
enough, and that the people do NC

removal was made known, the Demo-
Gratis blamed 1t on Senator Higgins and
now that the contrary has been shown,
the Democratic and Mugwump papers
OF this city should not lose any time in
making their readers acquainted with
the facts. The turn that matters have
now taken, makes it very probable
that there will be another deputy col.
lector removed before long, and we do

Democrats are mad all over about MIR.

intend to sift the matter to the bottom

ports are true, it Is more than probable
that Senator Gray will be called upon

moval of at least one more official con.

MONDAY, August, 6 1889.

HENRY r. DOWNING, late United
States Consul at Loanda, has recently
had an experience in New York, which
has no doubt convinced him that all tue
prejudice against the colored race is
not confined to the South. While Mr..
Downing was in Europe he was en-
tertained by some OF the most eminent
men, and IL was no unusual thing for
him TO take his meals at the largest and
most fashionable cafes in Paris, Berlin
and Venice. lie found that SO long as
he proved himself a gentleman he was
treated as such, and that gentlemen
did not decline to associate with him,
He has. however, learned that such is
not the case In this country, even in
his native city, New York, as not only
he, but friend, distinguished for.
eigner from Lisbon, were subjected tC
insult and indigni.y. While In Loan.
do Mr.. Downing formed the acquain
lance of Gomez da Seraphlm, o distin.
guished Portuguese holding high pc.
sition. Some few months ago this
gentleman was granted leave of alb
sence by the King for period OF six
months. and determined to improve
the opportunity OF visiting Mr.. Down
ing in New York.
Upon his arrival that gentleman
took him to see the Brooklyn bridge,
the navy yard and other objects of in
terest. Feeling weary and hungry
they reAaircd to DelmoDico's for
dinner, but were barely seated before
they were given to understand that on
account of Mr.. Downlng's color, they
could not get anything to cot there.
The came was the case OF the Hotel
Brunswick, and they were about to
take hack, and drive down to the
steamer from which Senior Gomez had
landed, when Mr.. Downhem was &C.
costed by friend who insisted on theil
going to another hotel, where they OBJ
tanned an excellent dinner. The ex
consul says that he does not blame thu
proprietors of these places as much al
he does their customers, who woul(
no doubt leave meal half finished
and go out, never to return, il col
ored man, no matter how respectable
he might be, was served in the sam
