bad and is to be regretted. as .he demands

II is distinctly stated by the Courier
Journal 'that, instead OF high wages being
due 10 the tariff. the tariff is due to high
wages, and a repeal would cause only u
temporary reduction"
"Only temporary reduction" forsooth.
Well, we would like to see the nominee
for President of the United States who
would declare for that temporary reduc-
tion.'
Much tariff talk has made WATTERsoN
mad. Just imagine him in the character
OF candidate for President, with that
declaration staring him In the face.
McDosALD merely argued to show that
lower nominal wages in England might be
really more than higher nominal wages in
this country. This was indlscreet enough.
But wArrERsoy's admission that he fayors
a measure that would cause Temporary
reduction " OF wages Is much worse-it is
frec-tradism run mad.

Let 1t Be Reformed.

In speaking recently of needed postal
reforms. we asked:
"What sense or reason is there in send
ing to Washington instead Of to its in
tended destination letter addressed to
(say> Charlotte Courthouse because the
name of the place is Marysville, or rice
versa 2"
That was an imaginary name, or per-
haps we had dim recollection that it was
a real name. Anyhow the Charlotte Ga
zette reproaches us MS follows:
weknow the Dispatch would not further con-
fuse us, but We beg leave to state the name
Of the village here is Smithyile, some years
ago Ii was known rs Marysville. but was incorp0-
rated by the name of Smith-viiie and subsequent
ly the name Of the DOst-office was changed from
Charlotte Courthouse to Smithvilc. to correspond
with the corporate name. Ii Is the county-seai,
and always win be known Charlotte Courthouse.
Correspondents address their letters 10 Charlotte
| Courthouse. and though no such Office may be
known to the Department. there Is no reason
why letters so directed should be sent 10
| Washington, at least when they have reached
| their destination here We are Informed by the
postmaster that difficulty sometimes arises from
| The fact that money orders are sometimes draw
on Charlotte Courtho lse." when there Is no such
Office; and in such cases IL is necessary to send
| them back for correction.
We are constantly exposed TO trouble and an-
noyance, and sometimes loss. by correspondents
! or foreign advertisers, who do not seem TO COM
| prehend that Smithvillc" is the corporate name
of the village and post-offce; while the locality is
\ known as Charlotte Courthouse, being the county
seat.
Pray, Mr.. Postmaster. General, read those
two paragraphs and realize how ineXcusa-
bly, foolish are your postal regulations.
Surely Mr.. MONEY, OF Mississippi. chair
man Of the Committee on POst-Ofiices
and Post-Roads, will put an end to such
iusufferable folly, II the postal officials do
not. We met him few years ago in 4
county adjoining Charlotte, some OF whose
good people he knows. Bnt we want all
such outrages ended. What is it to the
Postmaster-General that we choose to di-
rect letter to Kanawha Courthouse In.
stead OF to Charleston, or uice uerSa for
even we do not know which OF the two
addresses is the one that would cause our
letter TO be sent to Washington instead of
its destination.

A Bloomington. Indiana, special says /:
A little over year ago James Adams, 4
farm laborer, married very young wife
and set up housekeeping In an old
cabin on Clear creek, eight miles south
OF here. Yesterday stranger pass
ing the Adams cabin had his attcn-
ton drawn to It by the sound OF
moaning within. lie opened the door and
found James Adams, benumbed and help
less with cold, lying on the naked floor
beside tireleSs stove. In the bed near by,
under heap OF rags, lay the child-mother,
frozen to death. On her breast, wrapped
in rags, was a living infant. The babe,
less than week old, and the father were
cared for by kind neighbors. MIR. Adams.
when able TO speak, said he was sick and
unable to move when the child was born,
and so could not send for help. The
neighbors, deeply mortified that suffering
should exist undiscovered In their midst,
are doing all in their power for the babe
and its father. To-day they gave the
mother Christian burial.
