THE arrest of man in Virginia for re-
ferring to Malone on postal card as "that
id dog" suggests the question of the
right of postal officials or any other per-
son to inspect the mail matter that may
not be addressed to themselves. The
reading of postal card comes as clearly
within the condemnation of the law
against tampering with the mails as does
the reading of letter the seal to which
may have been accidentally broken. The
prudery Of the postal officials in this in
stance reminds one of the old Dutchman
who went to magistrate to complain
that men and boys were in the habit of
bathing IN river near his house, greatly
shocking the modesty of his two daugh-
tiers. "But," said the magistrate, "the
river is more than half mile from your
house." II know dot, "said the Dutch
man, "but mine gals hat got one tam big
spy-glass." Postal officials who inspect
other peoples affairs must expect to get
shocked occasionally.

HEALING THE WOUNDS.
A Noble Act by the Visiting New England
knight Templars In Richmond, va.

"A LNOOIC <ACC ny tAo lSlt1uS IN0W
knight Templars In Richmond, Va.
RICHMOND, Va, May 26.-The Boston and
Providence communicates, escorted by the
Richmond knights, paraded this forenoon
through the streets. One of the most beauti-
full and touching incidents connected with the
present pilgrimage, and which has been kept
secret by those participating in it, occurred
before the parade. The Boston commandery
at an early hour marched from their quarters
to Capitol square, and forming around the
statue of Stonewall Jackson, stood with heads
uncovered and swords at present,
and while their band played a beau
tiful memorial overture, the knights in
command moved forward and placed at the
base of the monument, most beautiful
wreath of evergreen and raised flowers. This
tribute, from brave New England to the great
confederate general, occurring as it did on
memorial day, was deeply affecting and
moved some of the spectators to tears. They
then marched to the Washington monument
within the same grounds and decorated it
with flowers. The music here, while equally
appropriate, was not so solemn as at Jackson's
statue. Memorial day observed with unusual
ceremonies, including the decorating of the
graves of the confederate dead at Hollywood
cemetery.

"My Mother-in-Law" Tonight.

This evening MI. Roland Reed and Miss Alice
Hastings will appear in thier new farcical
comedy, entitled, "My Mother-in-Law," writ
ten expressly for them. These artists are well
known and highly appreciated in this city,
as well as else where throughout the country.
The Chicago Tribune says. Mr.. Roland
Reed possesses in an eminent degree that
quality which is the most absolutely essential
to great actor, that Of losing himself in the
character which he may be for the moment
assuming; that the actor is forgotten, and
the character is a reality. For naturalness of
acting and expression, and a self-control
which prevents him ever exaggerating comic
character into caricature, Roland Reed
could scarcely be replaced by any other artist
in the country

SUBMISSION to the party bosses. They

nations, but single turn of the party
screw has brought them into line. They
boosted of twenty-five thousand scratch
ers at the last gubernatorial election, yet
when the votes were counted, it was
shown that not twenty-five score of those
who had been so loud in their deauncia-
tons of the unfit nominations of their
party, had had the hardihood to scratch
name on the ticket. When United
States Senator was to be elected last jan
uary, these same persons refused to 60
into the caucus, through fear that a
friend of MIR. Conkling would receive the
nomination. Mr.. Conkling went to Al
bany and the caucus was held, with
full representation of all Republicans
present. Plat was nominated, and he
was elected without opposition from the
half breeds, though it was well known
that he was merely Conkling's man Fri
day. In the past, the half breeds of New
York have proved themselves a lot of ar

istic subserviency. The New York half
breeds have not only earned the oppro-
brious appellation by which they are now
known, but the contempt of all indepen
dent and honest men throughout the
country. They have last opportunity
to redeem themselves. If they shall neg
lect it they need never again ask for the
respect or confidence of the public, but
may expect to be universally condemned
and derlded. At best they have been a
sorry set. If they neglect this, their last
and best opportunity to stamp out boss
ism in the politics OF their State, they
need not hope for future chance.

The L,1,nber Liae Business.

Mr.. Flournoy, superintenden of the Lumber
line, returned from the Southwest yesterday
in time to perspire over the confusion which
reigned in his new office in the st. Paul & O..
building while it was being arranged with the
desks and papers brought from
the old Office. On his visit
to Omaha he found the lumber dealers of
that city still badly broken up in stock and
facilities for doing business by their losses
during the spring floods. Some of them have
moved their yards away from the dangerous
river to higher ground, and all are restocking
as fast as they can get lumber brought to
them. En- route over the Sioux City & Pacific
road, he observed that lumber was going
forward rapidly, and returning he counted in
two hours sixty-fiye empty lumber. line cars
being moved back to st. Paul The Sioux
City & Pacific company, though hav-
ing only nineteen locomotives in service, is
meeting the extraordinary pressure of freight
with steady work and giving great satisfaction
to patrons of the Lumber line.

Yesterday was observed in the Catholic

two hundred. At 10 O'Clock the children
met in the school house, corner of Sew

THE convention now in session at
