sOmE DEMoCRATIo RRFORM.


Once there was competent postmaster in
Philadelphia. People got their mail matter
regularly and promptly, were courteously
treated by the postmaster and his assistants.
and all went smoothly. But when the reform
administration came in it was thought
necessary to make a Democrat post
master of Philadelphia. Accordingly Mr..
Harrity was appointed and then
trouble began. Where the postal
business was well done confusion reigned,
and it was evident there had been no reform
in the Philadelphia postofice. So many
complaints were made that an investigation
was made by a government inspector" He
reported that the service was unsatisfactory,
but Mr.. Harrity was doing his best, and the
fault lay chiefly with the few Republicans
who had been retained as clerks and 80 forth,
because their services are Indispensable, who
had not taken so much pains as they ought
to instruct the new men in their duties. The
service would unavoidably be imperfect for
time, until the Democrats, VINO had been
taken on in the place of well-trained men,
could become familiar with their work, and
then it was hoped there would be no more
cause for complaint
This was expected to have soothing effect,
but it did not. The people were no better
satisfied with the service than before, and
finally the Civil Service Reform association
of Philadelphia took hold of the matter, and
its report shows plainly what the trouble is.
It is asserted that all but two of the one hun
dred and eighty four of the new appointees
under the Civil Service law and rules have
been Democrats, though it is known that
many Republicans presented themselves for
examination; that these appointments have
been distributed evenly over the different
election districts of the city; that though the
percentage of those who were certified hav-
ing passed the examination was very much
greater than ever before-about 80 per cent.
against less than 60 previously
among the appointees are men who cannot
spell ordinary words correctly Nor write
grammatically; and that numerous discharges
have been made by the postmaster of men
who were informed by him that he had no
complaint against them.
Formal complaint has been made to the
Civil Service commission, and that body will
have an opportunity to do the country con-
spicuous service by thoroughly investigating
the condition of affairs. And it may be re-
marked that the Philadelphia postofice is
not the only one that needs investigating.

Choosing Tender Fowls.


If turkey for instance is young the legs
will be black and smooth, the eyes lively and
the feet flexible. If old the eyes will be
sunken and the feet dry. In choosing hens
see that their legs and combs are timber,
which means that they are young. If the
legs and combs are rough and stiff they are
old, but may be good enough for pie or
soup. A young goose will have yellow bill
and timber feet. An old goose will have
both bill and feet red and dry. Ducks If
young will be timber footed; if fat, hard
and thick on the lower part of the body.
feet though are red, besides being smaller
than those of tame ducks. Game can be
just easily selected if you know how,
which most folks don't. Partridges for in
stance if young will have black bills and yell
low legs if old white bills and blue legs.
All old fowls indeed, both domesticated and
wild, may likewise be told by their hard,
rough or dry feet.

The negro schools and colleges of Atlanta

Judge Moore of the Brooklyn Court OF
Sessions said to young man brought before
him for kissinga girl against her will: There
is no objection, SO far as I can see, to man
kissing girl if she is willing. But you
must not do it against her will. She has a
right to object, and if she does you mustn't
do it. Be sure she is willing before you try.
1t is estimated that the number of miles of
railroad constructed in this country this year
will reach total of seven thousand, equal

when the fever of speculation ran highest.
Kansas, Nebraska and Dakota have achieved
the greatest development in railroads, the to-

nearly two thousand miles.
1t takes something to feed the people of
London for year. They eat, during that

fowls, 500, 900, 600 pounds of fish, 500, 900,
600 pounds of oysters, 200, 900 Holsters some

1t is declared that prominent among the
causes of the defeat of Congressman Smalls
of South Carolina is the light-colored dis
tinction that, through his sanction, if not his
dictation, was enforced in the late distribu-
ton of Office in the county in the last Re-
publican nominating convention. The effect
of this is indicated by the diminished num-
Der of the colored voters who presented them
selves at the polls at this election in compari-
son with the triple or quadruple numbers in
former campaigns. Especially offensive was
the exclusion of black candidates on the
county ticket to the voters Of St. Helena
Island, where the vote as compared with pre-
vious elections scarcely reached half its usual
number, caused, no doubt, by the disaffec-
tion of Representative Sheppard and his fol-
lowers, who were ostracized in the nominal
ing convention on account of their dark col
or, light-colored Beaufort man being put in
his place.

A Second eau.

Elsewhere in this issue Of the CHoN-
rcLE may be found a call by five mem
bers of the Custer county Republican
Central Committee for a meeting of said
committee, in this city on the l4th inst.
This second call of the committee has
been justly deemed necessary by the
unreasonable and grossly inconsistent
apport'onment of delegates, made at the
late meeting of a small minority of said
committee at Buffalo Gap, where in the
absence of the members from Custer
precinct, and for the apparent purpose
OF the furtherance of some political
scheme. the apportionment for this pre-
cinct was reduced from seven to four,
and the Buii,do Gap precinct was in
creased from five to eight. The rule
which has formerly obtained in reach
ing u just apportionment, which is based
upon the returns Of the last general
election was entirely ignored, and an
apportionment based upon the number
of delegates required by Buffalo Gap to
make the desired connection was evi-
IDENTIFY substituted, as upon no other
reasonable hypothesis al such an in
congruous apportlonment be accounted
for. Basing the apportionment upon
Buffalo Gaps present population, the
number of delegates to which she would
be entitled would be less than the mum.
Der this precinct would be entitled to,
inasmuch as this precinct has a greater
population, and when the fact Of this
precinct being allowed but half the
number Of delegates that have been ap
portioned to Buffalo Gap, is fairly con
81 lered, the unjust action of the com
mlttee must become apparent, and the
announcement of a second call appear
fully warranted.
