After Democratic postmaster began to
handle the Marietta mails, quite number
of the good people who couldn't bear to
have nasty Democrat handle their
mails and profit from the natural increase
of postal business that an efficient admin
istration secured, boycotted the Marietta
office, and sent their mailing matter to
Vesta, the Republican postmaster there
collecting the Marietta mail with his store
delivery wagon. Following is section Of
the postal law:
Sec. S70l5 Every postmaster at fourth
class Office Is forbidden to solicit from any
person residing or doing business within the
delivery Of any other postofhce. or from any
agent of such person, the deposit for mailing
at his Office of any mail matter, or to enter
into any agreement, or to have any under
standing, with any person whatever, where
by, either for or without consideration, mat.
ter that Is TO be sent through the mails is pro
cured to be mailed at the office OF such post
master. The violation Of this regulation will
subject the offending postmaster to dismissal
| from Office.
The Vesta postoflice has been discon
tinued. The Nesta postmaster and somt
of the Marietta Republicans and signer:
are not as handsome as they used 10 be
but they know more.

The Trade Dollar.

Senator SeWell seems to have done
good job in providing a means of redemp-
ton for the obnoxious and deprecated
trade dollar. He succeeded in the Senate
in appending to its fiscal resolution a pro-
vision that for six months trade dollars
shall be received for governmental dues
and in exchange for Bland dollars. The
proposition met with decided opposition,
but it prevailed, and it is not likely the
House will object to it. Indeed it should
have the effect of making the amended
Morrison resolution more acceptable, for,
beyond doubt, the congressman have been
harrassed with the importantly of their
constituents to do something for their re-
lief from loss upon the trade dollars in the
hands of the public.
1t is true that considerable number of
these coins are in the hands of banks and
spectators who bought them at discount,
but many Of them have them at price and
have held them for time and with loss of
interest that will return them little profit
for their investment, if such it may be
called. A great many, however, are held
by tradesmen who took them at par for the
accommodation of their customers, and
even by banks which received them on
deposit at a hundred cents on the dollar {;
and justice to these people demands that
they should be redeemed, without regard
to the scant profit somebody may make
and which, at any rate, is far less than gov
ernment bondholders and national banks
frequently realize by the fiscal legislation
of Congress.
1t is perfectly plain proposition that if
the government has tens of millions of silver
tokens in its vaults with only 4l2t grains of
silver in each of them, and the people have
a lot OF pieces each containing i2O grains,
but which have been dishonored and driven
out of circulation, the government ought to
exchange them. No financial subtlety nor
economic theory will avoid this plain, com.
mon sense conclusion and if Congress
naglects TO do this simple act of Justice
somebody will be hurt.

Lynch Law in Mexico.

The case of the extradited Rasures, who
has Just been summarily executed by the
Mexicans. derives its serious element from
the fact that the legal authorities had the
matter in hand. Had he been captured by
private citizens and by them turned over
to citizens of Mexico, it would be a simple
case of lynch law. His offense, it is
claimed, was horse stealing, and in sec
tion where live stock roamS at large and
unmatched. the only security for the own
ers lies in the sacredness of the brand. -
The chances of apprehension of horse
thief are very small on the border, and
public sentiment out there is unanimous in
the opinion that the law affords no ade-
quate protection against this class of Grim
inals.
If, however, Judge Lynch is to invade
the authorized Mexican courts, our treaties
with Mexico should not provide for extra
dition.
1t will be seen by to-Gay's telegraphic
advices that the case has assumed interna
tional Importance, and the Texas state au
thorities have taken the matter in HAND
right vigorously.

its new readers and friends appreciate the
efforts necessarily put forth to bring 1t to
the highest standard of local journalism.
We trust to the opinion of others, rather
than to any self-appreciation, in cher
ishing the confidence that in the
contents of these daily issues the
performance exceeds the promise. In
greatly enlarging our telegraphic news SER

was met with the doubt and derision of
some of our esteemed contemporaries, we
felt justified in pledging renewed efforts to

BOycOtting the BOycOtterS

One of the most pitiful exhibitions of
subseryiency ever seen in our political his
tory is the tenacious holding on of Repub
lican office-holders under new administra
ton. Were they men of decent spirit they
would have promptly rendered their resig-
nations long ago; and thus saved their
self-respect if they could not continue
drawing their salaries. The number who
took this manly course was very meagre.
But even more contemplate has been
the conduct of the narrow minded and
pig-headed people who, upon being re-
moved, have vented their spite upon their
successors and sought by every means in
their power to harass them in the discharge
OF their public duties and to interfere with

THE Senate has passed the "surplus reso.

secretary the $50, 600 900 work ing balance over

allowing the president to suspend the rule in

was also tackled on by vote OF "a to % at

"That tor period Of six months after the
passage hereof, United States trade dollars,
II not delaced, mutilated or stamped, shall
be received at their face value in payment OF
all dues to the United States, and shall not
again be paid out or in any other manner is
sued. That the holder of any United States

treasurer or any assistant treasurer of the
United States, may receive in exchange
therefor like amount and value, dollar for

This seems to offers way to get rid OF the
trade dollar, and it would not be strange if
the House would adopt the amended resolu-
tion rather than get nothing.
