Real Estate Transfers, for the Week Endin March 27, 1893.

The new secretary of the interior, Hoke Smith, has begun well. One of his first official acts was to cancel permits issued by his predecessor for the cutting of timber on th 3 government lands in Montana. Fraud is charged m connection with these timber bases.

The city of Augusta, Maine, Blaine’s old home, was carried by the Democrats last Monday for the first time in twenty-five years. — There is some significance in this. There is not muoh left to hold the Republican party together any longer apd it would not be surprising if Marne should become a Democratic Btate.

It can no longer be truthfully charged that the Democratic party is a “southern party.” Of the 277 electoral votes cast for Cleveland, 138 were cast by northern states and 139 by southern states. So in the next house of representatives there will be 217 Democratic members, of whom 108 are from the north and 109 from the south.— There is nothing sectional about that. The Democratic party represents the whole Union.

Dear Mac.: You have called several times for the proceedings of that exceedingly small meeting of self appointed leaders of the Democracy of this locality, which settled the p. o. question to their satisfaction, without avail It is supposed the proceedings run in this wise: The withdrawal of two fr jm the list of applicants in the interest of the genius of the meeting, a resolution was offered by J. tenderiag thanks of meeting to withdrawing gentlemen for such exhibition «f unselfish generosity. Unanimously adopted; the resolution receiving Ihree votes —complimented gentlemen not voting. J. then offered a resolution de - daring:

“We are the leaders of the De mocracy within the limits of this Postal delivery.” The question was propounded as to what constituted a leader, which was replied to, by —. He supposed there was no inharmonious element present. Extreme care had been taken to invite no one who was not in agreement with them. He presumed they under-: stood that what transpired there was to be kept a profound secret, and that therefore it mattered little whether they were l?adars or not, or whether they had on all occasions voted the straight ticket. It was sufficient for their purpose to declare themselves leaders, and hoped would be no further obstruction to the proceedings.— The resolution was unanimously adopted.

J. then submitted the following: “Resolved, That we thankfully acc pt the withdrawals so sellsacrificingly and patriotically tendered in the interest of one who would be the choice of this meeting; that a committe - be appointed with instructions to proceed to the city of Hammond ai d direct Congressman Hammond to file his recommendation in favor of N., in who-e sol? interest this meeting was called.” Adopted. J. suggested that —. —. and the withdrawn applicants constitute Baid committee. Agreed *o. Concluding suggestions insist-, ing on positive secrecy; the end to be accomplished justified the means, and “the public be d —d.” Now, Mac., the above is as nears ly correct as my imag.nat.on can conceive, and I should not wonder if it prove substantially coireot.

There aie thousa ds of country newspaper men seeking to eke out aD adequate income V y obtaining little places There are tens of thousands of hardier l enchmen who are seeking the s'me places as a result of their success in making polices indistinguishable from crime, The ohoice between them is obvious and should not be difficult. This is a phase of the subs jeot which ti e great editors and the great journ Is should not lose in supercilious generalizations, or in superfine and etherial theories 0i treatment. So long as the gover. ment is rm. 1 y parties parties

will be run by organizations. Th i. long, too, the cause and case o r parties will 1 e forwarded bj “workers” and by putting “workers” in places. Among such “workera” county journalists are bettir in character and abilities than the brass-throated machinists who compete with them. - Brooklyn Eagle.

Senator Turpie was offered the chairmanship of the pension committee but took the census comm.ttee instead as it would allow him more time to devote to the committee on foreign relations and other committees of which he is a member.

Postmastei-General Bissell has stated that no editor was placed under aa ironclad rule. “If a postmaster chooses to sit up until l»te in the night writing editorials,” he said, we certainly will not object, nor will we if a postmaster writes anything after office hours for a weekly paper.”

Ex«congressman Clover of Kansas is out in an open letter denouncing his fellow populißt, Jeny Simpson as an arrant demagogue and h fraud of the first water.— Vhen the populists get at each other's true inwardness the partv will go to pieces. No party can <ong survive whose basic princi - pies are unintelligent discontent and personal selfishness.

William W. Astor, the N. Y. multi-millionaire, expatriated him self several years ago and took up his residence in England. Re«cet tly he purchased the Pall Mall Gazette, liberal organ, and has made it the mouthpiece of the the ex'reme tories. Mr. Astor, when in this country, was an ardant republican, and as such had the honor of being defeated for congress by Roswell P, Flower after a campaign which is said to have cost him (Astor) SIOO,OOO. He was consoled for his disappointment by President Arthur, who gave him the Italian mission. It is entirely in accordance with the eternal fitness of things that he snould affiliate with the tories in England.— They are the ] arty of pr’vilage, caste and “protection,” just as the republican party i.i in this country.

Gen. Henry W. Slocum, the union veteran of New York who vindicated his bravery and patriotism on a score of battle fie'ds, says: That pension roll is a fraudulent roll. There ; s no mistake about that. There are deserters and bounty jumpers on it aLd other men who were never in the arm at all. 1 would like to go through it and find out the names that sho’d not be on th« books at all. It can be done as easy as turning vour hand over. “No one,” says the republican Times-Star of Cincinnati, “has ever had the occasion to doubt the courage and patriotism of Gen. Slocum; no one has ever hinted that he did not love the old soldier.” It adds: There is no politics in this, for both parties have been equally cul pable in swelling the list of un worthy pensioners.

Miss Franc McEwen, ot Rensselaer, has appointed deputy recorder of Jasper countvj This we are pleased to hear as Miss'McEwen is deservedly popular young lady, and both from natural ability and business education well fitted for the duties of the position. When Rensselaer gets her new postmaster we trust it may be the veteran editor, and then Miss McEwen would officiate as her father’s deputy in the service of Uncle Sam.—Late County News.

Very nearly 2,250,000 pounds of steel will be ueed in the roof of “The Mac Kaye Specatorium”, which is now being built at Jackson Park, on Lhe Lake shore, in Chicago. It was a matter of considerable study with the contractors how to place this mass of steel in position, theje being no den ick large enough or strong enough « do the work at the altitude require ed. At length, however, an enormous traveling derrick has been secured. This derrick is of sufficient altitude to work to advantage at a height of 180 feet, which is the highest Doint on the roof and strong enough for the purpose required. It is the largest ever built and weighs, with its cables and tackle blocks, a lit»le over 154,000 pounds.

The Rensselaer postoffice squab" ble is still unsettled. The apS ointment should go to brother IcEwen, of the Sentinel, who has labored long for the democratic, party. Running a democratic newspaper in a republican strong', hold is a hard and thankless task and few men would have held out as has MpEwen. Now that op* portunity offers to assist him it should be given him. The salary attached would assist in making a better paper and would be a tit re* wardfor long party service.—White County Democrat.

.Not many books by American authors will receive from booklovers so'nearly unanftnous a verdict of “delightful” as Ik Marvel’s (Donald G. Mitchell) “Reveries of a Bachelor”; so tho new edition 01 it, rednc d in price from $1,26 to 20 cents (postage 5 cents extra) just now offered by John B. Alden, Publisher, is sure of an immense sale. It is a very pretty volume la: ge type and dainty cloth binding notwithstanding its fabulously low price, which is accounted for by the expiration of copyright and the passing into Mr. Alden’s hands from the higher priced publishers.

It is possible to get an itha of the means to be employed by The Columbian Celebration Company, in building the scenery for “The Mac Kaye Bpectatorium” at Chi'* cago, when the fact is known that within the last few days a consignment of five ear loads of trees, shrubs, plants and tropical flora has been received by the company from the pla*. tations of the Boston Fruit Comoany, at Jamaica, W I. This entire consignment is to be used in equipping one scene, that which shall the landing of Columbus at San Salvador. All the sctnery used will, it is said, be on a like scale of completeness.

We have beard of all sorts of catalogues, but a Poetical catalogue is something entirely new. In reading Vick’s Floral Guide for 1893, on every page one comes across happy and appropriate quotations from prominent authors. Whether it takes the mind off from the work of making out a list of Flowers or Vegatables, or make the Guide more fascinating, will have to be determined after a trial, by the publishers, James Vick’s Sons, Kochester, N. Y Another nove feature is the family of P«nsy Sailors who appear on the cover and through the b ok. It contains five colored plates, hundreds o ; illustrations and lists, with descriptions of everything requirec in the garden.
