Complaints of Slow and Irregular
MniIs.

A subscriber at Sanford, Fla, writes to
inquire why it is that the newsboys de-
liver the MORNING NEWS in that city on
the Gay oil its publication, while sub
scribers don't get it by mail until the fol-
lowing morning. The writer asks, and he
is not the only one who wants information
on the subject, why this condition of af-
fairs exists, and if there is any way Of
remedying the delay. The MORNING
NEWS has been trying for some time to
bring about an improvement in the mail
service in Georgia and Florida, but thus
far has not met with much success. Ref
erence has already been made to the out
rageous schedule Ofthe East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia Railway, and also
to the lack Of proper mail facilities in
Florida, especially in Middle West Flor
ida. The Sanford mails, as we'll as the
mails for all points in South Florida are
delayed for want of proper mail arrange
ments.
The fast mail from the North, which
also carries the MORNING NEWS, reaches
Jacksonville at IL m, several hours after
the morning trains for South and West
Florida have departed. This mail is
sent South by rail as far as Pa
latka, arriving at that city at
3:4S p. m. There it remains until
8 p. m, when it lie sent by steamer to San
ford, arriving there the next morning at
7 O'Clock. The newsboys leave Jackson
vile on the same train, but don't STOP at
Palatka, and therefore arrive at Sanford
at $3.50 p. m, about II hours in advance of
the mail.
From the beginning of the building of
railroads up to few years ago the effort
was to keep out Of Florida the railroad
lines of other States. The effort is not
very apparent now, but the schedules OF
the railroads Of that State are such as to
almost justify the belief that they are ar
ranged to prevent the people from enjoy
ing regular and prompt mail service.
Each railroad says it is not its fault if the
mail service is bad, and that IL is doing
the best it can under the circumstances.
1t is not probable that the service will
be much improved until the Post Office
Department is made to understand that
the people OF this section of the Union are
tired of being imposed upon in the matter
of mails. A good service is paid for, and
it is the duty OF the government to see
that the people get it. II the railroads
cannot afford to arrange their schedules
80 as to facilitate the movement of the
mails, let them say so, and the people
will petition to have their compensation
increased. The people are determined to
have their mails more promptly and
regularly.

The Danger of the Boycott.


Mr.. Powderly, the chief of the EXecu-
tive Board Of the Knights Of Labor, app
pears to have a pretty fair understanding
OF the danger there is not only TO the IN
terests ofthe Knights, but, also, 10 all the
great business and industrial interests of
the country in the unrestrained use OF the
boy colt and strike. He apparently sees
very plainly that II the different local or
CARNATIONS Of the knights are permitted
to declare bOycott,or order strike when
ever they or any OF their members have
grievance, and that, too, often before
there has been an investigation Of the
grievance by those sufficiently intelli-
gent and free from prejudice to
form a fair judgment, there will be
constant interruptions in all kinds of
business, widespread uncertainty that
will cause capital TO be withdra wn from
all enterprises and distractions tn at will
paralyze trade and bring disaster and
ruin everywhere. In a condition of affairs
like this it is not difficult to see what the
fate OF the workingman will be.
There is nothing that is more necessary
to the welfare of the workingman than
that the commerce and Industries of the
country should suffer no Interruptions.
His comfort and his happiness depend
upon his daily earnings. Without work
his family soon suffers from want. What
folly it is, then, for thousands of men to
abandon their employment whenever a
fellow. workingman is DISCHARGED, or
whenever an employer fails or refuses to
I ui nf
OF his employesl
The power which some Of the labor Or
CARNATIONS propose to exercise is more
despOtic and threatens greater danger
than any that it was ever before thought
| possible to exercise in this country. 1t
\ proposes, without being intelligently di-
rected, to control the commerce and in
dustres of the entire country. IL is not
to be wondered at that Grand Master
! POwderly has become alarmed, and has
attempted to gain firmer hold upon the
great organization that appears to be
/ slippin from his control. He ought to
have the support of every true working
man in his efforts to restrain the organi-
cation within the limits that il Origi-
nally marked out for itself. Within
those limits it may be made
useful to the laboring classes, but outside
OF them it is not only menace to the
prosperity Of the country and the best in
terests Of the workingmen, but will speed
lily bring about its own destruction. II
the Knights of Labor want the support of
public sentiment let them heed the words
of Grand Master Powderly. The less FREE
quently they use the boycott and the
strike to enforce their demands in trivial
matters, and matters with which they
have no legitimate concern, the greater
VIII their chances be of getting conces-
sions to which they are entitled.

The Edmunds Resolutions.

The long partisan debate in the Senate,
which closed with the adoption
Of the Edmunds resolutions on Friday
was profitless one so far as set
tlingthe question is concerned of the right
OF the Senate to have all the papers pre-
scented to the President, OF the head of any
department, in cases where removals have
/ been made. 1t was apparent IN the be-
/ ginning Of the debate hat the Republican
Senators would take one side Of the
question and the Democratic Senators the
other Neither side succeeded in bring
ing out any new argument, and the dis
cussion ended without any Senator hav-
ing been Influenced to vote other
wise than he would had the resolutions
been acted upon the day they were intro
duced.
The Democrats, however, made strong
er presentation of their side OF the case
than the Republicans did OF theirs. They
not only overthrow Mr.. Edmunds' strong
est presidents, but they presented prece-
dents which the Republicans were not
able to explain away. Mr.. Edmunds
quoted a letter of Mr.. Thurman which
tue Democrats we're able 10 show that it
did not. The Democrats read letter,
written by Senator Sherman when he was
Secretary Of the Treasury, which clearly
sustained the President in refusing to
furnish the papers for which the Senate
called. Mr.. Sherman did not undertake
to explain away this letter, for the rea-
son, doubtless, that he could not.
The debate brought out the fact that
there are several Senators in both parties
who do not believe in civil service reform
and who are ready to vote for the repeal
of the civil service reform law. They
are, however, a very small mi
nority. But there is no doubt
that public sentiment would sus-
tam the President in removing very
generally officials who do not come within
the jurisdiction Of the civil service law.
because the Importance of having the
principal offices occupied by those who
are in sympathy with the administration
Is recognized.
The Republican Senators have bound
themselves by passing the Edmunds' res
OlutiOns not to confirm nominations In
cases where removals have been made.
unless such papers as the Senate calls
for are furnished. 1t can hardly be prob
able that they intend 20 permit 600 or
more nominations to be suspended in the
committees indefinitely. 1t would not be
surprising if they should find that they
have adopted a course full Of trouble and
annoyance. The country understands
very well that the power of removal is
vested by the constitution in the Presi-
dent alone, and the Repu blicans produced
nothing during the long debate calcula-
ted to disturb that understanding. The
Republican Senator'S, therefore. may soon
expect to feel the pressure Of public SEN
timent in favor of confirming nomina-
tiOns.
Mr.. Edmunds may feel some satisfac-
ton in being supported by his Republican
associates, but he can hardly claim to
have won victory. He has not got the
papers which were refused to him, and
there is no probability that he will get
them.

what they Whispered.


A Washington correspondent. writing about
the recent meeting at a reception at the
White House of President Cleveland and Sen
atOr Edmunds on the evening of the day upon
which the latter made few remarks in the
Senate personal to the former, says that there
was some embarrassment when they shook
hands. This did not last long, for Senator
Edmunds leaned forward and whispered
something in the President's left ear. The
President then leaned forward and whispered
something in Mr.. Edmunds' right ear. This
is the conversation, according to the CORE
spondent, which took place:
Mr.. Edmunds-"DIdI hurt you much, Mr..
PresidentY"
The President-"Not much, Senator !"
The correspondent is wrong. For the bene-
ri OF history we will print exactly what the
conversation was.
Mr.. Edmunds-"Where do you keep lt?'
The President-"In the lower right hand
corner Of the cupboard in the dressing room

Loves First Kiss.

From the NeaO Orleans PicayUns.
All quivering like the tender leaf
When storms around prevail
My frame shook like an anxious thief
Who hears disclosed his tale.
Yet in the trembling of my heart
! felt unwonted bliss;
And through the fears that inward start,
The JOY Of Loves nrst kiss.
Though kisses famed my cheek before,
And fond caresses warmed:
To that they no resembia ce bore
Which all my soul alarmed:
IT'S true they stirr'd my nature oft,
But nothing like 10 this!
They we're not half so warm and soft.
SO sweet as Loves first kiss.
All, then the rapture fingered long,
Aud lulled my heart 70 rest
A IA doth the melody of song
When tunefully eNprestl
Mid earthly hopes and fears and strife
My heart hath taught me this
That nothing clings so long TO life
AS our true Loves irst Kiss.

Mr.. George Hearst, who has been appointed

history. He went TO California across the
plains IN 1850, and commenced AS a common
laborer in the mines. Finally he made some
money and formed partnership with Haggin

fortune in jumping and buying claims. They
now own one Of the largest and most profta-
mines IN Arizona, Colorado. Oregon. Mexico,
Idaho aud California. Mr.. Hearst is consid-
cred the most expert prospector on the Pacif-
ic coast, and his Judgment in regard to
mine has never yet been at fault. He is a tall
well-fOrmed man, about So years old. At the
time of Senator Stanford's election in 1885 Mr..
Hearst received the complimentary votes of
the Democrats He is a very wealthy man.

A Bit Of sharp Practice.


A very sharp corner was turned a week or
two ago in a neighboring town by a church
member. There was a piece of land which
was thought to be a very desirable site for a
church, and a committee of three was ap-
pointed to see the owner and obtain the low
est terms for the property. One of the COM
mittee said that he would be in the neighbOr
hood of the geDtleman's house the next day,
and that he would transact all the business
that was necessary. He was commissioned to
act for the other two member. and he did
this with a vengeance. He found that the
proprietor would sell the land for a very
moderate price, and he bought it for himself
and held on to it, with grip like grim death,
az the saying goes. He has since sold four h
Of it for more than the original price of his
purchase He is evidently determined to lay
up treasures on earth, if not in heaven.

A Woman Receives Soldiers Burial.

From the Pitts6isr0 Commercial Gasetts.
The first woman buried with hOnOrs of war
in Pennsylvania was Mrs. Elmira Simmons,
whose funeral took place in Harrisburg. Pa.
a few days ago, the interment taking place at
P0ttsville. Mrs. Simmons was the widow of
Co. Seneca q. simmons, the gallant com
mander of the famous Fifth PeRnsy lyania Re-
serves, who fell at Charles City Cross Roads
under Mcclellan and whose body was never
recovered. She was IdOlIzed by the veteran
soldiers here and especially by Post No. DIG,
G. A. B., which is named for her husband.
Before dying sne wrote in a book directions
for her funeral, among them that the post
should follow her to the grave, the drum corps
playing the regular army dead march. The
request was complied with, and on the way to
take the cars for Pottsvile the drum corps
PLAYED the dead march and the post marched
with reversed canes in front of the hearse in
which was the coffin, covered with The Amer
lean flag and guarded by soldiers who marched
on both sides Il the hearse. Veteran soldiers
