Put the Screws on Him.
RUD BAKER.

One of the heads of division whose
resignation was asked during the week
appealed to Secretary Manning. He was
received kindly and questioned as to
whether he has not all along anticipated
removal when democratic administra-
tion should come in. The republican
official demurred to this and said that he
had faithfully performed his duties. He
was not a politician and no one had
complained of him "Well, now as to
that, said the secretary, 81 win let you

people in your district Read them over
and let me know if you think demo-
cratic secretary ought to be blamed for
asking you to give way for democrat"
The chief read over the letters with
amazement. He was pronounced by
the writer's to be "red hot" in his poll
tics and frequent correspondent of re-
publican newspapers, extracts from his
letters being appended. His journeys
home at election time were noted, re-
ports of his speeches at town meetings
was given and his immediate removal
demanded as the only thing that would
pacify his democratic neighbors. When
he got through with the batch he OBJ
served: 81 haven't another word ia say;

There are certainly signs of serious
trouble in British Columbia, and the
mutterings OF rebellion are distinctly
audible. It may be, however, that the
dominion government has learned les
son from the experience with the half
breeds, and will hereafter be more in
clined to turn attentive ear to the COM
plants Of the provinces. This would
certainly seem the part of wisdom. q part
that has of late years IN such matters
unfortunately cut small figure in do
minion affairs. II is a very suggestive
fact that, whenever Canadian province
has grievance, the talk il always Off

She's good deal like Mrs. Logan in

quieter and she don't make any display
of her work in politics, and therefore
she's more of a power. Then she's got
the advantage of the other lady in far
reaching connections. What Mrs. Logan
accomplishes is all the result Of her own
work. Mrs. Cockrell has got the Rhrewd
political sense that Mrs. Logan has, but
she has also family ties through which
she can extend her influence so far that
the public won't recognize its operation.
The Ewings of Missouri and the Ewings
of Ohio are of the same family, and SO,
you see, Mrs. Cockrell doesn't have to

would make interesting reading now
in connection with summary of Rhat

The Missouriah stopped TO nuse q mo-
ment over his last thought, then he went
on: "Wsll, Hardin was nominated for
governor, but the Legislature of that
same year made Cockrell senator. since
that one of Mrs. Cockreh's brothera, DR..
Charles Ewing, has obtained the APP
pointment of surgeon in-the United

brother, is, as you know, the clerk Of
the supreme court in Missouri, one Of
best places in the state; John Walker,
brother-in-law, has been made the fiscal
agent of the state, and is the pressing
old war claims against the general Gov.
ernment, whose interest Senator Cock
rell is sworn to protect. The Office Of
fiscal agent is one of possibilities. There
is a percentage depending upon collec-
ton, which in the case Of allowance of
Missouri's claims for several hundred

"And now," continued the Missourian,

lBy telegraph TO the Dispatch.l
CHICAGO, July 1.-The West-Divi-
sion Street-Car Company sent out three
cars on its Madison-street line early
this morning, but the drivers were COM
PEELED to return to the barns. Fully one
thousand strikers and citizens were as.
sembled near the car-barns, and when
the cars came out they were met with
volley Of bricks and stones which
shiyered the window-panes and did
other damage to the cars. Several Of
the drivers and conductors were struck
by flying missiles. A deputy sheriff
was on the platform Of each car, and
in the excitement one Of the officers
drew a revolver and threatened to fire.
but desisted. 1t is now stated that the
company will endeavor to run their cars
under the protection of the city police.
A ll:30 O'Clock car with eight po-
licemen and reporter as sole passen-
gers started from the barn on Western
avenue down town on the Madison
street track. The car got through
without any difficulty, except occasional
hootings. Trouble was expected at
Halsted street. but there was none.
This car was followed by two others,
also with police and deputy sherilfs.
No passengers were taken. The cars
went over the route without molesta-
ton. On the return rip, however, the
cars were met by mob of four or five
thousand at Jefferson street. They
followed the cars, with boots and
yells, to Union street. From
there on to Halsted street the scene
was of the most riotous description.
The crowd hurled beer-barrels, bricks,
stones, and all sorts Of missiles at the
cars, smashing windows aud nearly
wrecking them. Several arrests were
made, but the police were almost pow
erless to handle the mob. At Union
street all sorts Of Instructions were
thrown on the track, and several ring
leaders were arrested, and a shot was
fred at one of the supposed leaders.
Missiles were even thrown from build
iDgs on the street at the cars. The cars
moved along slowly with great crowd
following and uttering threats. Proceed
ing further west an enormous crowd OF
threatening men had assembled near
Ann street, and the air was filled with
stones as the cars tried to make their
way through. Policemen were hit and
injured and the cars badly wrecked, re-
sulting in their finally being thrown of
the track and overturned near the side

street and made a number of arrests
The police have been patient, and, with
the exception of one shot fired near the
corner Of Union street, revolvers have
not been used.

Convention.

lBy telegraph to the Dispatch.l
CHARLESTON, S. c., July. AT
the late session of the Episcopal Do
cesar Convention there was a lively
contest over the presence Of two col
cred clergymen who, under the ruling
of Bishop Howe, retained their seats as
er-odiciO delegates. The opponents to
the admission Of the colored clergymen
protested, and some now take the
ground that the Convention was illegal
ly organized and its entire action in
valid. Consequently, at meeting to-
day Of the new standing committee oil
tire diocese, elected by the Convention,
resolutions were adopted declaring
there were doubts Of the legality of the
Convention, but that eight Of the ten
members of the committee being old
members were entitled to seats as hold
ing over. if not entitled under election
by the Convention, and that the COM
mittee could therefore organize and fill
the two vacancies. The Rev. DR.. Por-
ter, a member of the committee. filed a
protest against such action and declined
TO vote. as by doing so he would admit
a doubt Of the legality of the Conven-
ton. There is deep feeling on the sub
ject among the Episcopalists and every
phase of the contest is being jealousy
scrutinized.

BY telegraph To the Dispatch.l
WASHINGTON, July There are
at present eleven post-oflices where the
commissions of postmasters have ex-
pred. and where no appointments have
yet been made. The Offices are Mil
ford (N. H., Waterford On. ",
Msnitowoc Wis.,, Gildoy Cali, Au-
gusta Me-, Bellefonte tPa.), Mitchell
Qnd.). Evart (Mich.), South Haven
tMich.), Preston Mimi, and Corinth.
(Miss.) The vacancies in fourth
class post-ofiices number not less
than $500, and some estimates
make the number much greater. Nearly
all the vacancies have been caused by
designations, or removals because Of
misconduct on the part of postmasters.
In many cases postmasters have writ
ten to the Department asking why no
attention had been paid to their requests
to be relieved from the duties Of Office
made in March last. The explanation
is to he found in a great number OF
cases, that are constantly pressed upon
the attention Of the First Assistant
Postmaster General where an imme-
date change is desirable in order to Sc
cure good service.
