Easily Busted.

Tho business depression Of the past
few years has been the evolution of a
largo crop Of employment seekers. Ono
of them last week accosted gentleman
in this city. He was ragged, dirty, good
natrred, evidently hungry enough to
cato COW if it,were in his way. But his
soft slouchine&s Of gait rendered any
active exertion on his part highly i'm
probable. This suppression was strength
ened By tho dialogue that followed:
"Gotrl morning. SIR" said he. "I'd
like JOB with you. sir. :"
We'll. there is not much doing just
now--hard]y anytliag. in fact, in my
line. Ico1idn't give you much to do l
conldn't keep you busy

Mr.. WILSON PROTESTS.

Unnecessary.

Def cheney in the POstofice Department
Unnecessary.
WASHINGTON, Dec. "a vigorous
protest against the abuse of the postal
service is made in the annual report OF
Postmaster General Wilson. He quotes
figures which show excess of expendi-
lures over receipts of $S, l27, OSS for the
past fiscal year, which, however, is a
decrease in deficiency of $1,679,9 1856, as
compared with the previous fiscal year.
The postmaster general argues that
there is no necessity for the annual de-
ficit in the revenues of the department
and that but few lines of amendment
by congress to the postal laws will wipe
it out and give in its place steady sur.
plus. 1t has it's chief source, he says,
in the transmission at second class rates
of large and rapidly increasing vol
ume of matter never in the contempla-
ton of the law, which gives the nomi-
nal rate of l cent a pound on such mat
ter, and assuredly outside of the policy
of the law as to newspapers and
periodicals.

PUSH THE DlNGLEY BILL.
Republican Senatorial Caucus Decides to
Attempt Its assage.

Republican Senatorial Caucus Decides to
Attempt Its assage.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. The Re-
publican senatorial caucus has de-
cided to refer the Dingley tariff bill
to the steering committee, with in
structions to investigate as to the ikeli-
hood of getting the bill through, and to
devise means to amend if possible. It
was the prevailing opinion that the
best policy demanded the passage of
the bill if possible.
Senator Gear brought up the Pacific
railroad question, as did Senator Lodge
the immigration bill. The Pacific rail-
road bill was referred to the steering
committee, but after Mr. Lodge had ex.
planned the status of the immigration
bill the caucus decided to stand by that
as party measure and to press for its
early consideration. The caucus also
decided for an international agreement
on silver by agreeing to the following
resolution, introduced by Senator VOL
colt:
Resolved, That special committee
of five members of this caucus be ap-
pointed to recommend some plan where
by legislation may be had at this ses-
sion of congress looking to an interna-
tional conference with leading COM
mercial nations ON the subject of BIZ
metalliSm"

A good deal OF mystery has' up TO the
| rrssent time surrounded the movements
of a large corps of government pine land
estimators Who have been working up
on the Red Lake Reservation, says the
crooLston Tribune. 1t has been given
ont that their work was SUSPENDED oW-
inc 10 the fact that the appropriation
for carving it on had been exhaustet'
and again it has been told that they
were suspended because the new secre-
tarv of the interior had no use Tor men
who were appointed under the admins
+-.+;on of Lis predecessor, Hoke Smith.
The latter may be the case to some ex-
tent and it is certainty that politics
had considerable bearing in the matter
leading up to the preierment OF charges
of fraud against the estimators. some
one has undertaken to charge these gen.
tlemen with stealing large quantities OF
nine from the Indians, but how the estl-
majors rr 1ffitted by these alleged thefts
has not yet been shown.
The charges have been made, however,
and Indian Inspector Wright has been
eroaoed tor some time in looking up
evidence aud taking affidavits of the In
dams and ether parties who may be
tound to know anything about the
movements o: the estimators.
The estima, ors have evidently not
been discharged because OF lack OF
funds, as it is claimed that.oyer $4,000
o the appropriation still remains. They
were formally discharged on Nov. 18th,
and on the evening Of that day tele-
gram was received bv Chief Douglas
rom the Secretary of the Interiors. n
rounc;ny that they would be given a
hearing before Indian Inspector Wright
.,h, ,as heel sent out to investigate.
e;nce that time the majority OF the esti-
majors have been lying idle at Thief
River Falls waiting for the hearing.
It is expected that Inspector Wright
iii coach Thief River Falls before the
end of the week, and then the period OF
suspense w,lkspee!ily be ended.
question may arise as to whether or

structions, which it Is said were such as

Honesty and Virtue.

There is more honesty and virtue
contained in bottle of Salvation Oil,
than in any other liniment known.
'Mrs. A. Fielder, 1854 Palethorp ST.,
Philadelphia. Pa, confirms this truth:
She found Salvation Oil to be an ex-
cellent remedy for rheumatism, stiff
joints, bruises, etc., and thinks it
should always be kept in the house"

It takes $50 million feet OF logs to
supply the mills in the Duluth district.
Mill owners have on hand $50 million
feet, hence only about one-third of the
usual amount OF lum bering will be done.
Practically the same condition of things
prevail in the Mississippi river district
and throughout the country. These
Ia sc stock of logs are due to poor lies
OF lumber the past two years. caused by
the market being flooded by cheap Ca
madam lumber since the passage of the
Wilson bill, which removed the duty on
lumber. Let us hope tine evil will be
remedied before another season. Brai-

Bolt of Silver Republican Sena-
tors Not to Be Easily
Repaired.
Did Not Attend the Party Cau-
Gus and Do Not In
tend To.
The Reason Given Is That
They Desire to Act Inde-
pendently.

WASHINGTON, Dec 9.-The action
Of the silver Republican senators in re.
framing from attendance upon the Re-
publican caucus has led to no little spec
ulation as to whether the course pur-
sued is forerunner of the future, or
whether they will not in time returr.to
the party. Some Republicans think it
possible that the recalcitrant senators
regard the days meeting as merely pre-
liminary and will come back into the
fold after time. The superstition is
apparently without foundation or justi-
fication. The silver senators are very
chary about discussing their motives or
Intentions for the Future.
They decline to talk on the subject for
publication, but from remarks dropped
there can be no doubt they consider
that they have attended their last Re-
publican caucus. They say without ex-
ception, however, that in taking the
position they have they do not mean to
place themselves in the attitude of OPP
ponents of protective tariff policy,
but rather that they desire to be in an
independent position, where they can
accept or reject any tariff proposition
presented by their former party asso-
ciates.

AUBURN.

The Masonic Lodge is still fiourishing,
and at their regular meeting Wednesday
evening the first degree was conferred on
one candidate and arrangements are be-
ing made for an extra social the first
week in April by the Alert Club.
We are fully aware that the wind hiss
been blowing the past week, but when it
is hard enought to blow out ones false
teeth ii is time petition be sent to the
clerk of the weather and the one who lost
the set that was found here on the street
is welcome to them for they are in good
condition.
The Miriam Sewing Circle met Thurs
day p. m, with Mrs. Clara II. Andrews
on Roger Williams avenue and the report
of the last meeting was given as follows:
Election of officers: President, Harriet
r. Streetei; vice president, Sarah A.
streeter; secretary, Abbie Burrows; treas
urer and collector, Laura A. Gardner.
During the afternoon the members ac-
compljshed considerable sewing for their
hostess, when supper was announced to
which ample Justice was done by the men,
bers and husbands and a number OF visi-
tors from Providence. After this sing ing
and games were INDUCED in and a good
time IL the verdict.
Miss Edith X. Bowen has rendered her
resignation in the primary department of
our public schools.
In this vacancy II is with a feeling Of
regret that the frienos of the teacher and
committee seek TO Gil IL. For the past
nine or ten years she has faithfully full
TILED her duties and won the love an1 re-
spect OF pupils and parents. Thoroughly
adapted and interested in her work she
will be sadly missed form her accustomed
place. Many years she has sung in the
Baptist choir and been great helper in
NIL church work, especially i'm the juve-
nile department Of the Sabbath school,
where the bright little faces and minds
are being so carefully and religiously
trainedtby so willing a teacher. From
childhood Miss Bowen has resided in Au-
burn, and is known and respected by all
and has the best wishes OF ali for her fu-
ture welfare ana happiness.

RIyERPOINT.

The ladies OF the Congregational Church
held a basket social in the vestry OF the
church last evening and good sum was
realized from the sale OF the baskets,
which were sold at auction by Joseph B.
Holmes. During the evening there was
music by the Anthony orchestra, readings
by Annie Scrutuon Hough and solos by
Willie Meister OF Riverpoint.
The directors of the Pawuxet Valley
Park Association will hold another meet
ing this evening and the stockholders
will also meet In Pioneer hall. From all
appearances these will be the last meetings
of the present directors or stockholders,
Tor both have become disguised and dis
heartened at the lack of interest displayed
by the Valleyites in the park and at the
constant petty internal strife among the
members of the association and unless
something entirely unforeseen and differ-
ent from what has taken place at the past
meetings occurs the association will fol-
low the course of several other agricultu-
raj organizations, which have recently
collapsed, and become thing of the
past. number of men who have been
prominent and active workers in the
affairs of the association in years past and
who were elected mem bers of the board
OF directors at the last meeting
of the stock holders have de-
cined to serve on thu board
or i'm any official capacity and no one
seems ready to I'LL their place. The as
sociation is in bad condition financially
and although several schemes haye been
proposed by which the Indebtedness
might be discharged they have been Wig
orously fought by some and received with
apathy by others. The fate of the associa-
tion and the Kent County Fair will in all
probability be decided this evening and
the possibilities of the continuance OF
either are very small.
