Daily Democrat From our regular sorrespuiuivnt, VSHIN(iTON. WamiinutiivJuIv 15th, iSSy. Secretary Riuk.or as he Is oftener spot en of as "I'ncle Jerry," seems to stick closer to his deck than any oth;r member oi the administration, ami the result is that while the other departments are beginning ) be enveloped in the usual summer stag nation the department of Agriculture is "hustling." This of course may be only the result of the old saw "a new broom sweeps clean." Among the transactions of a week may be mentioned : The estab lishment of a new division for the purpoe o. editui" the scientific reports of the de Plrtmcnt into lnnmm.e that run h. nn derstood by plain everyday sort of folks; ine publication of a sixteen-page pham phlet explaining the work done and r. suits accomplished by the experimental stations in different sections of the coun try; the removal of the State Agent for Maryland and abolishment of the cilice, and the sending of an assent to the llockv Mountain section to examine into the methods used In collecting agricultural statistics. According to telegrams received here cx-Congressinan Kowell G. Horr, of Michigan, considers his appointment to be v. a. consul at alparaiso as an insult. He was an applicant for a foreign mission, and will refuse to accept the smaller place. One o' his friends said to-day uiai nir. Harrison was offended with Horr because he stuck to Alger at the Chicago convention. Ex-Congressman Hart, of Ohio, the man that caused Senators Sherman and Quay to have quite a serious falling cut several months ago, has at last received the office which he at that time accepted. He has just been appointed Solicitor of Internal Revenue. Commodore Schley, who is to be the Commander of the new steel cruiser ' Baltimore," which made its trial sea trip last week, pronounces that vessel to be magnificent, and says "she will be able to lick anything afloat." ff we had thirty or forty such vessels we would have a navy to be proud of. The plate printeisare jubilant over the removal of the steam plate printing presses from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The remove! was made by order of -Secretary Windom, who de clined to allow the company owning them to accept the ridiculous compensation of one cent per thousand impressions as roy alty for the use of presses, which Con gress had provided tor with the expecta lion, of course, that the owners would refuse it. Postmaster-General Wanamaker has ' jumped on " the Telegraph Company bv notifying them that in future the Govern ment would pay only one mill per word Instead of one cent, as at present. Repre sentation of the telegraph companies while recognizing the legal right of the Postmaster General to say what the com pensation shall be for this work, claim that they lose money by doing the work for the present price, and say that if Mr. Wanairaker will not ch.mrel lis mind Ihj-v will carry the messages for nothing, as it will be be cheaper than to keep the ac counts and make the collections at the rate of one mill per word. The usual number of reformers " it the methods of transacting the depart mental business which alwavs follow .- new administration arc now in full snin. If all these "reforms" had been im provements the business system of the various departments would long ago have reached perfection. But alas, " what is one man s meat is another man's poison," so what one man ca'ls "reform" another calls nonsense. Mr. Harrison went to Deer Park 1-Vidav afternoon, tie is expected back in time to attend a cabinet meeting on Wednesday. The office-seekers are having n tough time with the thermometer in the 'nine tics, and only an hour or two in the week to see the dispensers of patronage. But slili hang on, at least a great many ef them do. There are no new devclocments in the misunderstandings, between Secretary No blc and the Pension Commissioner, which It was believed at one time came near re sulting In Tanner's resignation. The Persian Minister who was so run. constructed that he failed to see the hu mor in the newspaper paragraphs as to his master, the Shah's personal habits, etc., has shaken the dust of Ainerici from his feet and gone home to stay, lie accuses us of discourtesy, and yet he left without !ven notifying the State department of his intention. It is stated here with great positivencss that the State of Mr. Rlrinc's health is so bad that he will resign. 1 don't believe a word of It, and yet in all probability Mr. Blaine himself. Is responsible for the re port; he is a monomaniac on the subject of his health, and the finger ache " causes him more worry than serious attack of sickness would the average man. I The strangest canal in the world is a cana 16 miles long, between Worsley and St Helens, ill the UOrlll nf KmvUn.V an. I is nmtr nr.mn.l from end to end. Many yens ago the duke o' Krulgewater s managers thought they could save muney by transporting the coal in hie mines underground instead of on the surface, So the canal was constructed, the mines con nected and drained at the same time. Ordi nary canal boats are used, hut the poer is furnished by men. On the roof of the tunnel arch are cross pieces, and the men who do the work of propulsion lie on their backs on ih coal and push with their feet n".iin;l the bars on the roof. .The ohlest man in the world, in all nn!,l,il. m, is Aagy rerencz. of Bares.
