THAT CONFIDENTIAL" LETTER
A Letter as Happy as 1t Has Made the
Republicans Unhappy.

A Letter as Happy 1t Has Made the
Republicans Unhappy.
The circular letter sent out by the
Postmaster-General to the Democratic
members of Congress in reference to
howl from the Republican ranks.
Hatton, in the astoundingly novel po-
sition of pure, lofty etherialiser, above
the low depths of partisanry, cries
that it is the duty of all Republican
! postmasters to resign because the let
| ter hits at that great actuating prin-
| ciple of self-respect which has invari-
ably characterized the Republican Of
| flee holder, not excepting the Virginia
| Outcast and the odorous bevy surround
| ing him singing halellujahs while they
robbed the people.
Hatton himself resigned some months
since, when he could not do otherwise,
and several Republican postmasters
| have followed his example under SIM
| liar circumstances. 1t is not proba-
Bile that any of that late Republican
| campaign army will act hastily in get
ting out until they must 60. Advice
| from a man who was forced to leave
can be given easily, but it can not be
SO readily taken by one who is in and
hopes for retention.
The Postmaster Generals letter is as
| happy as it has made the Republican
| party unhappy. Our Republican con-
temporaries think it has an assassin
| aspect because it bears the mark ''con-
| fident;al." But the enlightened, I'M
biased public regard TIE private mark
as imparting to the document that
mysterious potency and POLITICALLY pun
gent aroma accompanying the swing of
the unseen censor, which. no matter
how dense and disagreeablc the sur
roundings' will purge and purify the at
mosphere. Mr.. Villas says of his plan,
that it sis, in short, to pick out the
mos. obnoxious and offensive partisans
in each county, to the number of sixth
to a quarter of all, and choose first-class
uaen to take their places
Virginians know what the term often
sive partisan means, and how especial
ly appropriate it is in connection with
the post-offices in Virginia after they
fell into Mahone's hands. The postal
service must of necessity be well organ
lied, and this organized force was hurl-
ed under the direction of a shameless
adventurer against the free voters of
Virginia. There were spies, DULLES and
| workers in that force. which was made
additionally strong by the aid of money.
When here and there some poor negro
rising superior to his fellow-white
slaves sought to shake off the Malone
shackles and organize an Independent
movement whereby he could vote and
act as his more manly impulses die
tated, it was the post-office spy who first
detected the effort. it was the post office
workers who surrounded the meeting,

A COSTLY FIRE.

Burning of the Old Singer Sewing Machine
Factory in New York, Lately Used a
Furniture Factory-Loss, Over Half a Mill
lion-Danger and Alarm in the Surround
ing Neighborhood.
NEW YORK, May 27.-The vast furni-
ture factory of Herman Bros, at the cor
ner of Mangin and Thompkins streets,
was discovered to be on fire at $3.50
O'Clock this morning. 1t is five story
building, and occupies the whole block,
fronting two hundred feet on Delaney
and one hundred and fifty feet on the
other streets. 1t was an old building
once occupied by the Singer Sewing
Machine factory, and was saturated with
oil. The whole building was surrounded
by miserable tenement houses occupied
by the poorest classes of the city. The
fire was intensely bot, and nearly hun
dred families were driven from their
homes, and rushed out in their night
clothes. They were compelled to camp
on the river side, where they shivered in
the chilly winds of the morning.
At four O'Clock the whole building was
in flames, with no hope of saving any of
the property, and the firemen directed
their efforts to making the miserable
people as comfortable as possible. At
~ q. m. an alarm WIS SenC OUT 1Or eA-
ira engines, and it looked as though the
whole surrounding neighborhood would
be destroyed.
At five O'Clock alarms were still being
sent out for extra engines. The reason
the flames spread rapidly was on ac-
count of the oil in the floor. The factory
was filled with furniture. Over three
hundred men will be thrown out of work.
The streets at 80 a. III were crowded
with people and the greatest excitement
prevailed in the neighborhoOd, as every
body in the surrounding tenement houses
was moving their furniture and seeking to
escape from the flames, which were
spreading fast in all directions.
Superintendent Pinnon, of the factory,
said it was impossible to say where the
fire originated; but ne believed it had
started in the engine room.
The fire was finally brought under con-
tro! at half past six by the efforts of the
entire fire department.
The loss is over half million dollars I;
partially insured in home and foreign
companies. The building was owned by
the Singer Sewing Machine Company,
and was partially insured. In addition
to the factory, four tenement houses,
fronting on Mangin street, were damaged
by water to an extent of about $4,000.

SENATORIAL COURTESY.

The Vyisest, Fairest and Best Rule with
Respect to Presidential Appointments.
At the recent Pendleton banquet in
New York MIR. Evarts, who was one of
the guests and speakers, made vague
curb on the Democratic Administration
and his words are construed by Re-
publican papers into promise that the
Senate will probably attempt to keep
Republican office-holders in place by
refusing to affirm the Democrats APP
pointed to succeed them. Senator Frye,
of Maine, is thought to foreshadow
something like this also in saying that
he will hold himself under obligations
to be governed in his vote on appoint
ments by the request of the Senators
from the State from which the appoint
ment is made. Senator Frye has no
personal concern about persons APP
pointed to office in Massachusetts, for
example, and will feel inclined to vote
for them, as rule. But if the Massa-
chusetts Senators do not like person
appointed to office in their State and
request Senator Frye to assist them in
defeating him, he will feel himself
bound by the courtesy of the Senate to
do so. Under this curious rule the Re-
publican Senators from each State could
agree to oppose all appointments in
their State, and the result would be a
compact and organized opposition in
the Senate to every new appointment.
But this would produce a collision
between the President and the factious
Republican Senate, ending in appeal to
the country, and in the end the Senate
would be discounted and subdued.
The House would support the President,
for the House is Democratic, and the
country would support the President
because the country is Democratic.
The simple Democratic rule is the
wisest, fairest and best-to confirm all
appointments of a Republican President
except where the apppointee is especial
ly Objectionable. This rule is based
upon the principle that when the Presi-
dent is Republican he has right to
republican assistants and subordinates,
and al Republican administration-and
Democrats have no alternative but to
await their turn. The Republican SEN
are will do well to adopt the rule. Their
party is out of power; the country is
Democratic and has chosen Demo-
cratic President. This Democratic Pres
| ident is charged with the duty of exc
cutting the laws, and should be permit
ted to choose his own subordinates for
the WORKS.. Louis Republican.

and it was the post-office bully who
browbeat the timid into submission
and forced the passage of the resolu-
ton of confidence in our Senator for
his noble efforts in behalf of Virginia.
1t was only by general uprising of the
people that free expression of the
voters was obtained and Virginia's true
voice was heard despite the struggles OF
this postal-service army to prevent it.
The existence iof such an organized
force of partisans in this state is a last
ing menace to Virginia Simple justice
demands its overthrow, and justice is
what the Postmaster-General proposes
to give long-sufering people.
1t is for that Virginians have long,
and until now, vainly appealed. -Rtch-

READING FOR THE YOUNG.
"ThAT HoRRlD BABY"
A True Story.

A True Story.
Beneath q shady elm tree
Two little brown-haired boys
Were complaining to each other
That they couldn't make a noise.
And 1t 8 all that horrid baby,
Cried Johnny, looking glum,:
She makes an awful bother;
l most wish she hadn't come.
I" If boy runs through the kitchen,
Still as any mouse can creep,
Nora says: Now do be aisy,
For the baby's gone to sleepi'
And when just now asked mamma
To fix my new straw cap,
She said she really couldn't
Till the baby took her nap!'
"rve been thinking we might sell her.
Fred thrust back his curly hair;
Mamma calls her Little Trouble
So don't believe she d care
We will take her down to Johnson's:
He keeps candy at his store;
And l wouldn't wonder, truly,
If she'd bring pound or more;
"For he asked me if I'd sell her
When she first came: but, you see,
Then didn't know she'd bother,
So / told him: No Sir-ree!
He may have her now and welcome;
don't want her any more.
Get the carriage round here, Johnny,
And IN fetch her to the door,"
To the COOL green-curtaned bedroom,
Freddy stole, with noiseleSS feet,
Where mamma had left the baby
Fast asleep, serene and sweet.
Soft he bore her to the carriage,
All unknowing, little bird!
While of these two young kiGnaperS
Not sound had mamma heard.
Down the street the carriage trundled;
Soundly still the baby slept;
Over two sun-browned boy-faces
Little sober shadows crept.
They began to love the wes one.
s. Say" said Johnny, don't you think
He will give for such a baby
Twenty pounds as quick as wink?"
"Td say fifty" Fred responded,
With his brown eyes downward cast.
"Here's the store; it doesn't seems though
We had come so awful faSt!'
Through the door they pushed the car
ria9e:
You Observation-Disclosures you-would
Would you Ike to buy baby?"
Merchant Johnsou's eyes were twinkliug:
''Well, would just set your price.
Will you take your pay in candy?
have some that's very nice.
Butsbefore we bind the bargain,
would like to see the chlde'
Johnny lifted up the afghan:
Baby woke, and cooed, and smiled.
"It's a trade" cried Merchant Johnson
" How much candy for the price,
Fred and Johnny looked at baby,
All forgotten was the bother
In the light of baby's smile:
And they wonder ed if mamma had
Missed her daughter all the while.
"Candy's sweet, but baby's sweeter,''
Spoke up sturdy little Fred;
"'Cuuse she is our own and onliest
Darling sister" Johnny said.
$50 | guess we'd better keep her"
But il we should ask Him''-'May be,
When H knows you'd like to have one.
"God will send you down a baby!"
Merchant Johnson laughed. and kindly
Ran their small hands DER with sweet,
Ere they wheeled the baby homeward,
Back along the quiet street;
And mamma who had not missed them
Smiled to hear the little tale,
How they went to sell the baby,
How they didn't make the sale.

EAST LIVERPOOL, o., May 27.-Angus
Bratt shot and killed JEFF c. Davis at the
Caldwell House last night. Davis was a
salesman, twenty-five years of age, and
courted the daughter of Bratt, who is a
dry goods merchant at Youngstown, o.,
aged sixty. Last week Davis informed
Miss Bratt that she should consider their
engagement broken. The girl confessed
to her father that Davis had betrayed her,
and when Bratt asked him to marry his
daughter he refused. 1t is said that he
openly boosted of Miss Bratt's disgrace,
which so preye: on her aged fathers
mind that he determined to kill Davis.
Five shots were fired, every ball entering
vital part of the body.

disapp earance of Rev. Oscar F. Brown,
Rector of the Reformed Episcopal Church
OF the Redeemer in West Fifty first street,

hard of late, devoting q great deal OF
time to missionary labors. He is five feet

1.-The newspaper man seldom fails to
toot his little penny trumpet, squeaking
forth his own praises and asserting his
self-assumed Importance. The writer
on the postal card must have patience.
The footing of the newspaper man is
only the egotism of genius giving itself

tootfulness.-Detr0I Free Press.

Maud s. at Belmont Park.

NEW YORK, May 27.-Bair drove Maud
S. over Belmont Park last week. He said
he was going to give her mile in 2:35.
She started off slowly, and when she
neared the turn, he let her go. An I'M
practiced eye could see that the gait was
fast. Her strokes were clean, with no clam
boring or sprawling. She made the first
half in 1:O7, and finished the mile, up
hill, in 2:1S without lifting her head. 1t
seemed to be an exercising gait for her.
elf Mr. Bonner allows her to be trotted
this year." said he, 81 predict that she
will trot mile in 2:0S."
