to say that dodo vrill do so. Another effect that adds to tbe senso of personal injury Jelt by ever? active Democrat In Terre Haute is the fact that under the civil-service law theso carriers who have served several years, as most of them have, will receive Sl.UO a year salary instead of Sn'O. Outside of tbo politicians, however, there is a central feeling of satisfaction over the action of the President. Lvery one is convinced thut letter-carriers earn all they are paid, and more, too, and that their positions ouffht not to be subieoied to the inlluences of ward politic and politicians. Tho present force is an excellent one. and there Is a eense of relief and assurance, with the business J nblic at leaar, that no change is to be made by which the elbciency of the service would unavoidably bo impaired. It is much the same sentiment that is growing stronger in this city in favor of non-partisanship iu the local public service. The Washington dispatch to the Journal of yesterday, announcing that Senator Voorhecs would recommend Harry DonLara for postmaster is in accord with what was known hero bv the Senator's lriends before he went to Washington, and which 'was first made public in these dispatches, fiinco then Donham has proceeded npon the assumption that all yet to be none was the formality of placing Cleveland's signature . on the commission. The more tho local Democracy, and especially that portion which espouses the claims of either of the other applicants, ponders over the cut-and-dried proceeding the greater becomes tho resentment of what is termed bossism. The fact that the bosses are the ones who were bitterly opposed to the renomination of Mr. Cleveland and set up tho primaries in this county, where 00 per cent, of the Democrats were unequivocally for the renomination, so that an anti-Cleveland delegation was chosen, increases the feeling of indignation which is sure to result in an open revolt sooner or later. One of the reasons why It has not broken out before this has been the hope of the hungry to get some of thn crumbs of office. Now that the hope of live hundred (morn or less) has been shattered by the Presidents order there is more likelihood of the outbreak befpro tho time lor the appointment of a postmaster comes around. Much has been written lately about Senator Yoorbees's plans. One story is to the ellect that, owing to ill health he will resign from the Senate, and that Governor Matthews will resign, so that hissuccessor. Lieutenant-governor Nye, may appoint him to till the vacancy. The friends of the Senator here do not believe there is any foundat;on for this story.. It is true th'at for the past two years the Senator's friends and acquaintances saw that his health and vpirits were failing, and early in last year there was serious alarm among those friends who invariably discussed bis health when his name came up. He was dejected and often seemed to bo alarmed about his health. Hut when tho campaign opened he was rejuvenated and went through it with something of bis old-time vigor. It is the opinion here that If anything causes him to resign it will be the pressure of his friends ior places under Uncle Sam. Not long ago ho announced that his mail was overburdened with letters from otliceseokers. and intimated that It would be ntterly beyond his power to rind places for hundreds of them. Those best acquainted with the Senator know Ibatit would bo Ins pleasure to give every dda an office. Indeed, eo willing is he that pften, no doabt. he has made promises or held out hope to too many applicants for the same place, and thus brought great embarrassment on himself. It is with . a knowledge of the Senator's good nature and its entailed complications that gives rise to much of the feeling of anger toward the bosses, who ho quickly after the election pre-empted' his influence with tho inloiuing administration. Alleged lirlbery In North Dakota. Bismarck. N. D Jan. 8. Ex-Governor Ordway has concluded not to come here from Washington to make a light for the lenatorsbip. The friends of Senator Casey ire jubilant to-night, and announce they have twenty-five votes pledged already, End that the Senator will certainly be nominated in caucus. It is not believed, however, that there will bo any caucus. Only

the supporters of Casey and Kingman want a caucus, and they are admitted to lack many votes ot a majority of the whole Legislature. So many charges ot the use of money in influencing members have been made in tho newspapers that a legis lative committee) has been appointed to make a rigid investigation. Tho editors of the Minneapolis Tribune and Uisnaarek Tribune will be called onto testify. The former charged yesterday that tho man who next wears the senatorial toga from North Dakota will have to pay $lw),000 for . I be Democratic and Populist members have kept very quint to-day. as it Is admitted that they now havo little chauce to win, except in tho case of a dead-lock. Trying to Defeat Mills. Austin, Tex., Jan. 8. The race for United States Senator is assuming a very interestlng aspect. John Ireland has been in the city tor a week, closeted with Hog, and as it is known that he is after the plaee. speculation is rife as to whether Hogg will assist him. Hogg has great influence with the present Legislature, and as he is against Mills it is safe to say he will do all in his rower to compass his defeat. Mills's friends hope to have two candidates to light, which will assure Mills's election. "FIRED" THE KEEPER OF 1IIE CKIB. Alleged Consiirtcj That Would Havo Caused a Water Famine at Chicago. Chicago, Jan. ihe calamity or a water famine was narrowly escaped by Chicago to-day, and it would have been a famine which, in all probability, would not Lave been relieved betore spring. Captain McKee, for thirteen years keeper of the crib at the Chicago pumping station, was jerked oat of his job so suddenly tins morn ing that bis head is hardly through buzzing yet. He was discharged by City Engineer Clarko because of a report that tho men under McKee intended to allow the ice to ncctimulato around thoin-takos of the crib. eo that the supply would be shut oil', and then they intended to striKe, demanding the removal of McKee, whom they claimed had treated them badly. The situation was one which admitted of no argument. and McKee'a otlicial head rolled into the buskoi as soon as tho condition of things became known at tho City Hall. Tho strike, if brought about, would havo been moat disastrous. Intensely cold weather would soon have formed a mas3 of ice. cal culated the engineer, that nothing but dynamite or tho return of summer could remove. A consultation was called at the city rngineer'eotlice this morning to take action In regard to the rumors, which hud reached there. And action prompt and uecisive was decided upon. City Engineer Clarke uent for Capt. William II. Dahl. the assistant l esstd dispatcher, and then wrote a letter lo Captain McKee, removing him from office instanter. and appointing Captain Dahl in his place. At lu:;;0 o'clock in tho forenoon Chief Clerk John V. Coghlan. of the water ollice; engineer ineyara, of the department, and Captain Doll (stopped on hoard a tug. and a start was made for the crib, which wan reached shortly after 11 o'clock. Captain McKeo was at tho landlug. and the letter irora the city engineer was handed him. lio read it. and then walked down stairs to where fifteen men were at work keeping tho ice from the intake port". 'Hoys' he said, "I'vo been discharged. and am going to leave. I want you to go With me." Tho men did not appear unanimous in re eponding to the invitation, and bnt five threw down their tools and joined their chief. I he entire party was quickly tacn to the shore. The causo of complaint against McKee by the men was that, not withstanding the fact that they were often compelled to work all night in tho icy water, ihey could get nothing warm to drink, and that the McKeo family occupied alt the habitable quarters at the crib, compelling the men to sleep m the rooms at und below the water level.

CLEVELAND'S GAME. Trying to Escape the Silver Uock by Having Itepiibllcans Remove It lloforelle Seta Sail. Ejects! to the Indiana&olis Journal. Washington, Jan. Mr. Cleveland's band is being seen every day now about Congress. He is already paving tho way to hia administration by an attempt to control legislation. It was not till tho silver question began to loom up ominously that he deigned to more. Then it was that he saw a step must bo taken if he would avoid a dangerous subject. If ho conld have the silver problem disposed of and compel the present administration to shoulder the re sponsibility he would have plainer sailing. Then only the tariff would stand in his way: Mr. Cleveland has already moved, lie has bills in both houses proposing to repeal the Sherman law. which provides for tne purchase of 4.500,000 ounces or allver bnilliou each month. With tnU ont of tho way and committees iu both houses made up of men with his own notions nothing would arise to make the new President trouble in the silver linn. Tho reader of the daily press will recall readily that the administration of Mr. Cleveland, which began eight years ago. was uu:de up of evasions, and that when President Harrison came in there wera left for him a score of vexatious problems which the Democratic administration wan unable to cope with successfully. The ilehringsea problem had worried Secretary of tato 15ayard almost to death and had harassed the President. Tho Mexican-border problem was taken up by the Cleveland administration and laid down like a hot; poker. They could not handle it. There - was tronble in some of tho South American Republics with which tho United States had to do, and it all came over to President Harrison. Wo were in jangles with Italy, Germany, Franco and other countries, not to mention Canada, over'trade relations. All these subjects and many more were left for President Harrison. The Cleveland administration could not handle them. Tho subjects were taken up promptly by President Harrison and Secretary lilaine, and the Secretaries of War and the Navy, and they were satisfactorily disposed of, every one of them. hen President Harrison goes out of of lice this country will be at neaco with the world, and enjoying such an era ot pros perity as we havo never before known. It is provoking to witness the juggling ana jockey ing now going on In Cougress upon the part of the Democrats, backed op by Mr. Cleveland, with a view of precipi tating the silver question and disposing of it. if possible, in such away as to throw the blame. i: any comes, npon this administration. Tho question la asked, if Mr. Clovelaud is such ft groat man, why doosn't ho wait till ho gets hold of the reins, and when he will have full control of Congress. before he attempts to begin his workf There is good ground for believing that Mr. Cleveland would like to see the silver Question disposed of now, and then the Re publicans continue control ox the Senate, which would bar him out of the responsi bility of legislation. He oouid throw all the blame lor nou-action upon the tariff againHt the Republican Senate. For tho present he is content to nuload silver upon that body. He has already begun his work of evasion and avoidance, and he will do nothing at any time which he can keep from doing. THE .CL.ECTOKAL. COLLEGE.

One of these is delivered to an elector appointed to take charge of it, and carry it, in person, to the seat of government, and deliver it to the President of tho Senate. The eecoud certificate is sent by mail, and tho third in delivered to the United States district Judge for the district in which the electors meet So far but thirty of the States have complied with tbo law requiring tho certificates to be filed with the Senate, although the election was held two months ago.

Michigan, Ohio and Oregon, and in this event the law provides that the two bouses shall separate, consider the objections and report their findings.

Interesting Gossip About the Residences decupled by thn FaiuIIj. Washington, Jan. K. Mr. Blaine has bad many homes in Washington, and they have, with one or two exceptions, been located in the political and business center of the city. Hewasfond of life and bustle. It has happened that bis homes, most of them at least, have interesting historical associations attached.' VLil be was Speaker of the Iloaeo ot Kepresentatives he lived at No. 821 Fifteenth street, in the block of houses situated between the horcham and thoKormandie, and now occupied by John Chamberlin as a hotel. It was whilo living there that he experienced the hrst illness which attracted national notice. It occurred on the Sunday before tho mooting of the national Republican convention in Cincinnati to nominate its candidate to succeed General Grant in tho presidency. As was their custom, Mr. and Mrs. Blaine went to the First Cougregational, Church to atteud service. While walking into the building be fell upon the stone steps, from the ell'ects of what was then said to bo a sun-stroke, but which was really, it is believed, the first manifestation of the diseaio from which he autiered in these later days. He was carried to his Dome, and for nonrs lay ' in an apparently dying condition. The nows of his illness created great excitement in Washington, and largo crowds gathered about the house. 'Hourly bulletins were hung on tho iron pickets in front of the house to keop ansions friends from inquiring at the door, and that all might know of his condition. Ho still resided there when made Secretary of State by President Garfield. Tho next winter, however, the family moved In tho new house on Dnpont circle, still know us the lilaine house, although he leased it subsequently to Mr. L. Z. Loiter, formerly of Chicago, who occupied it until it was badly damaged by lire. There Mr. Blaine's eldest daughter married Colonel Coppinger. The house never salted either Mr. or Mrs. Blaine, the foimer deeming it too far from the life in the city. After another winter in the Windom house, on Scott circle, no w the borne ot Mr. and Mrs. Munn. tbe Blaines moved to the house on the west side of Lafayette square, next to General Bealo's. tho winter home of Mrs. Scott Townsend. Here ho enjoyed himself very much, and here he finished his "Twenty Vears in Congress." It was after Lis appointment as Secretary of State by President Harrison that Mr. lilaine took the houso at present occupied by the family. The first months. of tho administration the Secretary occupied rooms at tho N'ormandie, and there it was that he gave the dinner to the delegates to tho international maritime conference when electrio lights were first used for table decorations in Washington. Tho residence, No. 17 Madison place, has a most varied history, interesting, probably, beyond that of any house in Washington. Originally it was the elite boarding-house of Washington, and had among its occupants John C. Calhoun, when he was Jackson's Secretary df War and Vioe-prsni-, dent,and Henry Clay, when he was Adams's Secretary of State. It also sheltered President Polk, who occupied the third floor, while (tome repairs were being made on the White House. Passing into possession of the Washington Club it became the resort of tho fashionable young men of the capital. Sickles and Key were members, and the tragedy which associated their names was enacted in front of its doors. The tree against which Key fell and died has been removed, but the root Still fomains. During the war it wan the residence of W. H. Seward, Lincoln's Secretary of State, and the deadly assault of the ussassin was matle upon nim wlnialyiog In the chamber which .Mr, Blaine has occupied. Since the war and before the Blaine family took oossession tbe bouse was used lor government purposes, and afterwards long remained vacant. The location of tbe house, bowever, was so convenient and the opportunities to view what Mr. Blaine was fond of calling "the life of the city" was so excellent that other considerations were overlooked and a ten-year lease of tho property taken with the privilege of purchase. It was transformed into a comfortable mansion. V , Upon the return of tho family from their summer vacation in 1S9 they took possession of the remodeled house. One of tho changes made was the cutting of the south wall and an addition of four windows. While these repairs were in progress there wore not lacking the superstitions to augur trouble and sadnees for tbe household because of them. "Put in a window and let out r.n old friend," was a eaying often quoted, and remembered afterwards in view of tho ratnetlcally sad history of the family, n the holiday week that followed, Mrs. Blaine's sister, Miss Stanwood, died at her homo in Aususta. Mo., and soon after Major Blaine, tbo statesman's brother, died in tho West. The first breakfast to the diplomatic corps and the accompanying Now Year's reception were held under the depressing conditions attendant upon this double bereavement. But these were only a beginning of the troubles tbe family wero to pass through. Within the succeeding two months Mrs. Coppinger, the oldest daughter, und Walker, tho eldest son, died. Tbe last death occurred almost simultaneously with the tragedy that deprived Secretary Traey of his wife and daughter, and the combination of sorrows produced an imprt8sion throughout the country that was not lightened for months. Then followed the death of Emmons Blaine, his second son, at Chicago. Tho ono conspicuously cheerful event in the experience of the family in the house was tho wedding of Miss Margaret Blaine and Mr. Walter Damrosch. alter a romantic courtship on a coaching t'jur throush the Scottish highlands ns tho guests of Mr. Andrew Carnecie, which marriage took place on May 17. 161U Two "Midnight TlHrtnr, Married.

In August, lb02, he took a trip to the n est, accompanied by his mother, in the hope that the climate might prove a benefit to his health, but tbe relief was only temporary.

KELICS UF AN ANCIENT IUCH Graves, War Implements Coins and Vessels Hade by an Unknown People. Sax Francfco, Jan. a A morning pa per publishes the following: "A strango and apparently very important discovery of old graves, copper and stone weapons and implements has just been made in Santa Maria and Snimama valleys in the coast mountains. Thus far tbo discovery has attractod the keenest interest, though as yet it is known only locally. The garves are in mounds, which rise live or six: feet above the surface of the ground, and the mounds themselves are often seventytive or ono hunered feet in length. It is belioved there aro forty or forty-live graves in each mound. A. V. ISowen. ot tho State Senate, told the details as far as known. The discovery was made about four weeks ago by Juan Olivos, of Santa Mario, who dug into the mounds. which have been known to exist for a long time. At a depth of ton feet be struck a grave. The hrst thing bis pick struck was a poltshed slab. It is of slightly greater length than the ordinary cothn of an adult. When he gazed underneath he looked into a long box of stone that had nothing in it but dust. Tho body hud lain so long that even tbo bones had disappeared. Ihe grave was older than any be bud heard of on the l'aoifio coar. The slab was of a peculiarly hard and polished stone, the like of which there was not in all the country. Olivos worked away and got out other stones. He explored further, find found numerous battle axes and other weapons of copper, vessels reculiarly made of stone. Curious copper disks resembling coins were also found. Knowing there were similar mounds in the Qnima valley he pushed on to them, and. digging in. found coliins, dust and implements of etone and copper similar to those of Santa Maria. Everywhere were the marksof an ancient race, it is believed, far ante-dating any history known on the coast. He cathered np some of the dust and copper and etone weapons he had secured, bomoof the weapons are now at Santa Maria, where they are at tracting great attention. An expedition is being talked of to explore the mounds thoroughly. Mr. Howen also tells that high above tho stage road between Las Olives and Santa Carbara aro some natural monoliths, or rocks, with smooth surfaces On which are carved many strange characters, looking much like the characters used by the Egyptians in designating their tombs." THIS IS NOT A rOOR-IIOUSE. Foreigners Who Come Here Get Valuo Ke-cel-rd We Owe Them Nothing. Philadelphia North American. Foreign papers are raflher severe on Presi dent Harmon because lie recommends restricted immigration. They seem to look at it as a great benefaction to thts country that tho old wcrld emptied its jails and poor-houses into it from time to time, ex actly as if the old world people came bere to make us rich as an act of beneficence. Now there has been nonsense enough talked and written about what this country owes to its foreign element. Iho people who have com hero to build up homes have been a benefit, but tbey havo benehted as much as have we, and, numbers considered, tenfold more. Very well. Nobody objects to people who come here to make homes aud enjoy enlarged liberty. I hey are welcome. But those others well, they are nut welcome, aud It we are only moderately wiso those others will not be allowed to come here to rob and murder, or to become public charges. We do not owe the people who come here anything. We fully compensate them when we bid them buy, eell, work and get gain as freely as if to the manner born. They are our guests at first, and that tbe man who entertains is indebted to his cuests in any peculiar sense we deny. We owe our adopted citizens nothing beyond what we owo to our native citizens, and the greatness and glory of our country Is not due to our adopted citizens except in the exaot proportion of numbers as compared .with the native born. As the foreign-born citizens constitute only one-tenth of the population of this country, any school-ooy can work out oar debt of gratitude by a state ment in proportion. Our demand is for re- . . . a A stricted immigration, ana America ior Americans whatever their birth-place. MR MURPHY'S "TrPE." Reasons Why Sir. Cleveland Should Be Grateful to This True Democrat. Fitte&urK Chroniclo-Telegrarh. Mr. Murphy's friends are now accusing Mr. Cleveland of ingratitude toward that senatorial candidate. They think that a man who postponed his mother't funeral that he might woxk ai too pons is entitled to support from the man he worked for on that solemn occasion. That is the "type' of a Pemocrat Mr. Murphy is said to be. It was just before tho election of l&SM that Mrs. Murphy died, and Mr. Murphy, who was then chairman of the State committee, realizing that a fuueral on election day wonld take a number of his friends and neighbors from the polls, where their presence was needed, arranged to have the funeral postponed till the day alter election. More thau that, when word was brought to bim that the day was going against Mr. Cleveland be left the houso of mourning and drove about from poll to poll encouraeing and advisihg the workers all over the city. The result wai that Troy gave Mr. Cleveland a majority of l.MJl over Harrison, and thA Kepublican majority for the county was reduced in comparison with the voto of four years previous. Mr. Cleveland's objection to Mr. Murphy is that he is not a "typa" of Democrat who can originate policies, bnt one must admit that a man who will postpone his mother's funera nnd work at the poll while she lay dead in bis bouse, is of a "typo" decidedly unique. 5 .

PENNSYSiVJT I A Fl THE ENGLISH SFAllltOW. Indications that His Victorious March Is earins ta Lud, Bochcster (N. Y.) Ueaiocrat iov cornea from Pennsylvania that the . KcglisU sparrow is retiring before the al vauco of our native song birds. At a meet inn in i'ittsbarg ot the fctate Ornithological Association, Dr. Thomas L. llaxzard read an interesting report on the bird por ulation of the Allegheny par Km. Id lb5 tho Dark commifsioners im ported seventy-five sparrows from Philadelphia, aud took such ood carcof thein that all bat three dio.i. The three survivors managed to escape Ironi theehelter provided for them, und a return to their natural habits tilled them with health and vigor. They began to raise families, aud in a few years thero were hordes of sparrows, while nearly nil other birds wero driven out of the parks b their pugnacious enemies. Lately, however, the sparrows seem to be leas aggressive than they formerly wen. Last spriug Dr. liazard counted in the parks nine robbins, four orioles, eoveral bluebirds and other song binK There had been seen in the parks also daring the summer a red-headed woodpecker, a downy woodpecker, a flicker, yellow warblers aud several other representative birds of sweet eoug and bnuht plumage. Another encouraging fact was that Dr. Ilazzard bad counted this fall iu tho park' live robins' nests m p)od repair and three of last year's slightly damaged, tour orioles nests iu good repair aud four not so good, as well as eleven other nets built by dosirablo birds of one sort or another. This made a total of twenty-seven newts, whereas two years ago he had been able to find but two such birds' nests. Dr. Ilazzard is led to hope, from his observations, that native American birds are losing their fear of the eparrow. and that the despotic reign of the latter may be near its end. Although as hostile as ever, tho sparrows sceni to be t' rowing moro di&creet in their atiacks. At any rate, robbins und other birds esteemed for their plumage nnd nong appear iu incieasiug numbers yeai by year, and show tho disposition aa well us ability to hold their own. An interesting .tAteir.ent is that sumo birds, noticing that spirrows shunned thn tops of high trees, abandonel their habit tif buihling their nests m-ar the ground and established their homes iu lolty perches. This a fiords an example of reason overcoming ihdtiuctin tho bird mind. If the aggressions of the sparrow are to bo checked by more pluck and persistence on the part of other birds, the lact will be both interesting aud welcome. Another !- t Comblnr." PiTTMiuito, Jan.
