BOSS MAKNING'S PROGRAMME The most important political contos thii year will occur In Now York. A the state election next fill a fall list o elate officers will be elected , an oven which will not occur again until 1891 owing to the rotation In oflico which Is completed only once in six years. Bos Manning , who IB really the most Influcn tlal of Cleveland's cabinet officers , I shaping his conrao entirely with regard to the coming fight , which will go far toward determining the supremacy o parties in the future , The democrats roallzo this , and of conrao will make a determined effort to carry the state The administration at Washington wll render ovcry assistance possible , bn whether it can keep the Independents as the allies of the democratic party ii questionable. All pretense of civil eer vice reform on the part of Boas Manning at least Is a moro sham , and the Inclo pendents arc becoming pretty wol ! convinced of that fact. As a loading newspaper publisher ho has never ralsoc his voice or lifted his hand In favor o ; civil service reform. On the contrary , his organ , the Albany Argus , haa been the mouth piece of the democratic ma chine in New York , and ho has been the machine's chief engineer. All the pre tenses of economy by cutting down the clerkships and reducing the number ol federal ofllcers In the custom house and in the rovonno service is simply a cloak for the concerted effort which will soon bo made to man the pnbllo service with partisan workers and strikers. However much the Independents may bo Inclined to credit Grover Cleveland with sincerity In regard to civil service reform and pat ronage they certainly do not place the least confidence in BOBS Manning as a re former , and they are not likely to got much civil service reform out of Ccal Oil Billy Whltnoy. A now broom generally sweeps clean , but the dust which the democratic broom Is raising Is merely in ; ondrd to blind the eyes of the credulous and gullible. New features are constantly bolng developed voloped in the enforcement of the pro : libltory liquor law In Iowa. Under the Iowa law It is the duty of the officers to aelzo liquors wherever found , and this has joen done quite frequently. A few days ago a lot of unatampod boor was ached by the sheriff of Jefferson county and re uiovod from the brewery where It had > eon manufactured. As the storage of unstamped beer In bulk at any other place han that of its manufacture renders it lablo to solzaio by the national govern ment , the United States Internal revenue at once took stops to secnro the rights of ho government. Now , what the revenue officers will do with the baor after seizing t remains to bo coon. Although the jrower was violating the law of Iowa , ho was in no way breaking the national law , and it was no fault of his that ho beer was removed without being stamped. As the proceedings to eeizo ho beer on the part of the national gov ernment was instituted by the brewer ho Ikely expeclo to eventually recover lotsoueion of it , but it will probably be come very stale by that timo. The Turlington Hawkcyc speaking authorl- atlvoly for Collector Bnrdotto says : There Is in this case no conflict as might at iirat appear. The sheriff acted under the law of the state without actual cnowlodgo of the requirements of the general statutes. The attorney who rep- eaonta the prosecution , advised the col- ector of the situation and asked for In- trnctions. Such cases are not unlikely o arise in the enforcement of prohibition , nit may In ovcry case bo avoided If at- orncya and local officers generally will ike pains to familiarize themselves with ho general statutes governing the band- lug of alcoholic liquors. A similar altua Ion was about to arise at Ottumwa , aomo hue ago , but was avoided by consulting ho collector before removing the boor. What latitude , If any , may bo allowed tate and local officers , by the department at Washington , the collector is unable to say. Aa for himself , ho is given no dis cretion ; but Is , under heavy penalties , obliged to suffer no Infraction of the reve nue laws' In tbo discharge of this duty , t is bis desire to avoid all contact with ; ho laws of the state , neither subjecting .ho national enactments to the position of an assistant In the enforcement of any local statute , nor , on the other hand , erecting with them a harder to the proso- cntion of any tuitby state authorities. THE Philadelphia Record is a great paper , and particularly so for a cent. Its Saturday edition Is eight pages , and full of interesting news aud miscellany , while the other Issues of the week are eight- column folio ahoota. The laano of March 20th consisted of sixteen pages , nil for eco cent. It contained an exhaustive review of the trade , manufactures and Industries of Philadelphia. From the statistics given wo gather the following Interesting facts : Philadelphia covers 129A square miles , and ban CIS miles of paved streets , 315 miles of street railways , and twelve miles of ntcjra railways within the olty limits. She has apopulutlon of 1,011,508 Her Iron and steel manufacturing estab lishments number 709 , employing 31,917 persons. She has 1,018 factories of textile fabrics , Riving employment to 00,897 persona. The total number of factories Is 12,062 , and the total number of mon , women and youths employed in them is 212,482. It Is a worklngman's city and a great industrial center.

Ho haa authority to lake the com mlttco on naval afftirs around to BOO the navy yards , and drink the champigno ol the commandants. This does not gratify him , for he has given notice to his friends that ho will extend the trip down to the Olty of Mexico. Cameron will take nl his friends along who want to go. Ho has a son-in-law In tbo navy , and In order to glvo him a chanca to make this transcontinental tour , ho is detailed by the navy department as ' 'naval attache' to his honorable undo. POSTMASTER PJCAKSOX , of Now York , still carrloa his ofliclal head , but in a few days ho will see It drop into the baskol under the democratic guillotine. Boss Manning has picked out a machine demo crat for Pearson's successor. All this talk about Pearson bolng likely to bo allowed to bold his place In order to please the Independent ! ) is all nonsense The democrats are becominginflatod with the idea that they have no further uao for the independents , and it is about time tbat tno Independents should como to the conclusion that they have no further use for the democrats. THE Cleveland Leader makes haste to osauro the people of Ohio that "thoro Ia no foundation whatever for the Item going the rounda of the democratic prots that Hon. J. Warren Kolflbr will bo a candl date for governor next fall , subject to the action of the republican state convention. Mr. Kolfler is strictly occupied with hia own business , and , whllo ho will do all in his power to secure the elcotion of the state republican ticket , ho will not ba a candidate for any oflico. " This la evidently a case of sour grapes with Mr. Keifler. THE Chicago Tribune on Sunday morn ing printed sixty columns of classified small advertisements. On the corresponding spending Sunday , March 20 , in 1884 , tbo Tribune printed fifty-four columns of thoao advertisements. This Increase is ovldoncs of great activity In all depart ments of trade and Industry In Chicago , which was hardly expected thla spring In view of the general depression that has boon prevailing all over the country. SEXATOH MAHONE'S BOD , who recently distinguished hlmsolt by shooting at a colored hotel porter , for which assault ho a under bonds to appear for trial , was discharged the other day from a $2,220 sinecure in the sonate. The old man , lowovcr , Immediately readjusted matters 3y appointing hishopoful eon to the posi- Ion of clerk of his own committee , which nys about ai well aa the other place 'rom which ho was bounced. Mn. PH LI-HS , of Vermont , the now ninlsterto England , ia said to have been a copperhead during tbo war. Ho branded Abraham Lincoln as a blockhead , and considered the war a failure. Aa between hosa democrats of the ncrth who con- iderod the war a fallnra , and those of ho south who fought bravely to destroy ho union loyal people prefer the latter. GIIOVER CLEVELAND has received a roasury warrant for § 3,888.87 , that bo ng the amount of salary duo him as ireaident from March 4th to April 1st. t was sent him by mail. BOBS Manning evidently wanted the president to have enough funds on the first day of the month to settle all the little bills that might bo presented to him. Ii is perfectly natural for the Lincoln Journal to rash to the defense of Ken dall , the defaulting postmaster at St. Paul. The Journal tries to pslllato vendall's oflenao by saying that there are postmustora all over tbo country who are in the same boat with him. If that a the caao it la high time that such ras cals should bo turned out. Tat : city council should order the city rocordito be Immediately removed to the new court house , now that arrangements luvo been made for tholr accommodation In that fire-proof structure. The firetraps - traps In which the records are now lo cated are liable to take fire at any hour and cauao Irreparable loss to the city. Colorado Farmer , Some wool growers are strongly n jndlced against the feeding of alfalfa to sheep , claiming that it Injures the wool , aud for mutton sheep is highly undesir able. Wo have never mot any ono as yet who could explain In what manner alfalfa injures wool , and regarding mutton , a gentleman raid to us the other day : "I ate some mutton not long ago from an alfalfa fed owe , that , it Boomed to mi , ( anted sweeter and better than any I over ate before. It has so thoroughly convinced vincod mo of the utility of alf lf as a mutton maker that 1 shall put some Southdowns on my ranch this spring and try It for myeolf. The objection has also been made to alfilfa tbat it scours sbosp ; but wo caw a flock of sheep brought here from the east last fall that were fed alfalfa from the start. Instead of scouring , they grew fat and lively much quicker , tholr owner in formed us , than ho bad over known sim ilar flocks to do when fed on otbor hay , It wou'.d seem that , as alfalfa hai proven Itself to excellent a sheep feed , pur wool-grower * , if possible , should give it a fair trial. To condemn a person un heard is considered Injustice , and it ia equally unjust to say tbat alfalfa will nut nuke good mut'on , when the experi ence of those who have tried It proves that it will.

Corrc pondcnco of tha Kansas City Journal SAN FUANCISCO , Cal. , March 28 Knowing that many of your roadora ar interested In any faota which thoy'may bo able to qaln , regarding the Pacifi alopo , I venture to volunteer what information mation I have boon able to obtain Iron observation and otherwise , during a BO journ of several months on this coast As I expect to apond the remainder o my days in California I think I can speak without prejudice , and , on the other hand , I shall endeavor not to portray th glories of California In the gaudy colors In which so miny correspondents have seen fit to illuminate them. I may pro- mine my remarks by saying that Oallfor nla is truly a great state , possosaod of great natural resources , and a clirnato which on an average Is far superior to that oi the Mississippi valloy. But the reader should roallxo that California is great In extent , being 770 miles In length by nearly 300 miles In width ; that It Is trav ersed by mountains from end to end that a largo area in the southern portlor of the state is an absolute desert , so thai my remarks regarding the climate oan only bo taken as general , and not appli cable to all portions of the state. To the traveler who Is familiar with the scenes of the Mississippi valley , and who drops down suddenly from the summit of the Sierras into the sub-tropical region which borders them on the west , the trail- oltlon is sudden and impressive. The graceful eucalyptus , the Australian grass trco , the accacias , the red woods , pines , spruces , maganttas , rnadronaB , aud an endlocs variety of other strange ehrabs and trees , contrast ttrangoiy with the scenery to which ho has been accustomed , and lend a charm to his onrronndtngE whicb , however , is but a "fleeting ehow. " All these things soon become common place , aud coaao to attract attention anymore moro than do the wild flowers and grass on the plains of Kansas and Missouri. The mountain oconcry , too , becomes ex ceedingly monotonous. Clothed in everlasting - lasting grcon and covered with gray gianlto recks , they present no change ol scenery throughout the year , and one finds himself wishing that they would shift tholr positions , or change their vondnro for the sombre hues of antnmn , or do cometbing to break the monotony. Since comicg to this coast I have tra versed California from oact to west , have traversed the entire length of the Napa valley , and have traversed the ccait of north of San Francisco aa far as Hum- boldt bay , which it 225 miles by water from this city. I will apeak of those re gions in detail , and first of THE IIUKUOLIJT COUNIUY. Before leaving the cast I was informed that the Humboldt country was rich in natural resources , prosperous beyond comprehension and possessed of a climate which was cbiuintug In the highest de gree. As a matter of fact , I found that region to ba almost exclusively a lumber ing country , whoio lumbermen can ob tain work at good wa os from four to six months In the year , provided they can got work at all. The agricultural , horti- cultu.nl and grazing interests are moro ciphers , and comparatively speaking , are unworthy of mention. Fromthovlcinlty } f Capo filendocina northward , the foot- Siills of the coaat range hug the coast closely , and the fair little valleys to bo : ound here ara moro garden spots com pared with the proa of mountains and foothills. The little valleys are fertile , jut there Is nothing of them Were ov- : ry foot of tillable land under cultivation t would not produce one-fourth of what s consumed In the country. Everything B SUH'PED INTO THAI OOC.VTltY rom San Francisco , and consequently is ilgh-priced. Even the so-called hay that s consumed by the work anlmala , ia shipped from "below" as the saying ia. The so-called hay ia nntlnvshed oats , ho market prlco of which Is $25 per ton. [ rmmdtatcly along the coaat , and in the valluys in close proximity to it , neither tain nor fruit will ripen , owing to the \tromo coolness and dampness of the climate. In short , It is no agricultural country at all. AS TO aUAXINO IXTEIIESTS : regard it as but little better. Compara- ivcly few cattle ara raiecd , ov.'iag to the scarcity of food , and while sheep ate raised In considerable numbers in the uountaiiiB and foothills , they are of In- brlor quality and the annual clip per load is very light. The market prlco of : ho wool is also very low compared with .hat of the eastern states. My eyes miy : o blinded by prejudice , but looking at the country In as fair a light aa I am on- lablo of doing , I can see no gicat and prosperous future for it. The TIMUIlt IS IMMENSE , ttiiidlng thickly on the ground , and many of the trees of immense proper tions. A dsriptlon ( of the routiner of Foiling tbcm and getting thorn to the milla would make an Interesting chapter , but 1 must forego the pleasure of giving it , as brevity is the splco of life. When the timber Is removed tbo land Is worth ies ) , Redwood stumps never rot , and fuither , the soil Is absolutely worthless for the ralsiag of oltner grain or vegeta bles until bounteously manured. For savors ! months past the lumber Interest his been flagging. Many of the mills have chut down , and others are only running a light forco. Whoa the luinbtr bnsinosa flugs , times are hard in earnest. Most of tha employes soon opcml tbeir wagra iu the saloons and gambling denn , and then aook a livelihood in other portions tions of the stato. EUKEKA , a city of about 5,000 Inhabitants , Is the principal town on Humbolt bay , or on the northern coast of California. Were it not for the fact tbat the bar at the en trance to the bay is extremely bad and very difficult of Improvement , Eureka would eventually become a seaport of some Importance. Aa It la it will be many years before anything but light draught vessels can enter the bay , and even they are sometimes detained tor weeks after receiving their cargoes before the bar becomes emooth enough for thorn to cross , The population of all that region contisls principally of . "HLUE NOSES , " people from New Brunswick , Nova Bcotla and Maine. They are not a bad class of people , except for their extreme ulannUhncaa. Aa well might a man from the Mlaslatippl valley endeavor to got Into - to heaven on a pasjport leaned by satan as to get employment in the lumbering camps cf Humbolt b y. He atanda no show whatever ; but if one hails from New Brunswick or Nora Scotia he ii all > right , fltoy will find a place for him or make ono. I cannot close this letter without add ing a few words in regard to THE CLIMATE of that rfgion. Back in the lltllo valleys It la fine ; s iiutimca qnlto hot but ne er cold ; nearer the coast you strike a narrow belt tbat la delightful the golden nuau but for fifteen or twenty miles back from the cosst is simply damnable. Ono seldom aons the nun , cither in summer or wlntor. It Is cither an oudless rain or an eternal fog , On many Decisions people are unable to tee caoh other across the streets. When the fog ! coasa the rains sot In. Twelve inches of rain fell at Eureka during the month of December , and still it rains , If angels over visit that country they will have to go In boats and carry lift ) pre servers. I fear that the pier dovlla who die there will never know the o astatic joys of paradlso or the torments of that region which Bob Ingorsoll cays don't exist. There will do no resurrection there , Gabriel may toot Ills trombone In the deserts of Utah , Nnvada and Arl zona , ho may oven awoken the moss- baoka of Missouri aud Arkansas , but never will ho vontuio In the fogs and mists of llumboldt bay. In closing lot mo cay to your readers , keep oil' the notthorn coait of California. PLAIN TIIUTII.

Aiioon rui thin part of Iho building w reached the flarnos ran up like fiery vipan and leaped high in the air , lighting upall thut part of the city not shut out by the high hilla m the outskirts. In n short time the dome fell in with a crash that could Imvoboen honni for miles , nnd a voluino of sparks shot upward that lent additional light , From that time it was evident that the main building WM doomed.

The chief attention of the lire department was now turned to suving the wings and pro .sorting the vaults. The upper Btory of the southwest wing , where the Northwestern mod ic.il college was located was burned out , bul part of the floor remained , thus protecting thi county court room just below it , The latter room was but little damagnd , except by water. The United States ' engineer's room , over the probate court , in the northwest room , was burned out. and all the plans for the river im provnnent destroyed. The county clerk's ollico WAS provided with a firo-proof vault , in which all the records ol the olheo , with the exception of a few unim portant papers , were kept. Nearly all the records were safely in the vault , and it is belie - lieod tbat they have not been materially in jured , although the interior of thu ollico was ruined. /Directly above the city clerk'a oflico fa the circuit clork's ollico. This was destroyed but fortunately it , too , was provided with n fire proof vault , n continuation of that iu the county clerk's ollico. Tha records of the court and nearly nil of the old papers were in this vault , nnd it is balloted are safe from harm. All the papers for suits now in court and those recently brought , were in cases m the room and were entirely destroyed. Across from thi , on tao second floor , and immediately adjoining the rotunda , was the sheriff' ! ) office. Everything in it , comprising the jail records of commitments , etc. , won con- tumod , not a scrap of paper being unveil. Down stairs in the central south wing was the county collector's oflico. In it was all the contents remaining outside of the mult un- burnecl. The regular current , tax books were iu thn vault , it is boliovcd , but the Ii.ick tax books wcro nearly all on the desks in the office. Deputy Collector Itomer Osborne and C. C. Colt were in thoolFee until 11 q'clock Just night working on the back tax books , con * Bolidattng them for collection. The night watchman , Sam Tolinf having his room in that adjoining the collector's it was not thought necessary to place the books ju the ; vault , and they were left on the desk till K morning. Copies of the delinquent books , however , are in the county clerk'a vault. COUNT ! BHCOBD3 SAVED. In the southeastern wing , practically de- tachoi from the lest of the building , with the exception of the roof , was the recorder's of of fice. It was provided with Iron shutters for the windows , and the collinar was lined with boiler iron , formed in a series of arches so that there would be little danger of a fire obtain ing an entrance unless the upper walla should fall iu nnd crush through the celling. Seeing there waa a chance to gave this wing , showers of water were kept playing on the upper st'ry. Tha roof fell in and most of it burned , but the floor was kept intact , and as eoon an poteibln men were putinaud thedebrl cleaned out. Dan Lysaght , deputy recorder , went in while the fire was raging above , nnd piled the books In such a position that the water would nit reach them , and the resiijt was that not a scrap of paper in the recorder s ollico ! was damaged. The piobato couit IOUIK was not greatly injured , the records and pa- peis being in the vaults , LOSSES OF rnivATK I-AIUIES.
