OFFENSIVE PARTIsANsHIP.
The Kind of Charge that Was Brought
Against a Nebraska Postmaster-EditOr.

The Kind of Charge that Was Brought
Against Nebraska Postmaster-EditOr.
WASHINGTON, May 28-The Senate has re-
of the committee on postoffices and post-roads in
the case of Herbert Williams to be postmaster
at North Bend, Neb., vice Chauncey B. Hyatt,
removed. 'lt appears" the committee says,
.sfrom the papers and documents in the case that
Mr.. Hyatt is the editor and proprietor of news
paper published at North Bend. Several copies
of his newspaper were filed in support of the ap-
plcation for his removal Editorial articles
tending to illustrate the offensive partisanship of
the editor whose removal from Office was re-
quested and is now proposed, were indicated by
pen and pencil lines drawn around them. In
the issue of the newspaper of June II, 1885. the
committee find an article indicated as stated.
and here copy it at length, viz:
Democrats not offensive partisans as the fol-
lowing incident will prove: little boy and girl play
ing in the yard The girl finds an apple under the
tree, and, with exclamation of delight begins to
bite it. Hold on said the boy; throw it away; the
coery is comm an if you eat that apple you will be
took sick, an you can't talk, an the doctor will come
an give you some bad medicine. an then you'll die.
The girl throws the apple down, and the boy snatch
won't it kill you toop No said the boy munching
ing the fruit, it won't kill boys; it's only after little
girls Boys don't have coery.' 1t is not difficult to
see the point of this offensive article Offensive par
tsanshp does not apply to Democrats it's only after
Republicans. Democrats do not have it.
1T is evident that Mr.. Hyatt cannot be a very
bad man, OF an inefficient officer. when resort is
had to such course to effect his removal The
fact that he has such keen appreciation of the
character of the oft-paraded reform doctrines
gives ample reason why his removal should be
desired"
The injunction of secrecy was also removed
from the case of S. B. Evans, nominated to be
postmaster at Ottumwa, Ia, vice A. H. Hamil-
ton The committee found this also to be case
of offensive partisanship, with no charges affect
ing the official personal record of the outgoing
official

Nova Scotia Is Tired of the Union.

HALIFAX, May 28-In address just issued
by Premier Fielding the following occurs In
the opinion of the government the time has
come when the people of Nova Scotia should
once more make an effort to obtain release from
the union into which they werc forced. Dis
satisfaction is 30 wide and deep that many are
heard to say that no change could be for the
worse. Some of those who were the warmest
advocates of confederation in 1867 are now the
most outspoken in their expressions of hostility
to 1t. After the failure of the repeal legislation
of 1869 to accomplish Its main purpose, the peo-
pie settled down, not very cheerfully, it must
be admitted, to make the best of the situation
Give the union fair trial, some said. It has
had long and more than fair trial, and the
verdict against it is more emphatic than before
We were assured by the fathers of the confedera-
tion that the affairs of the Dominion could be
carried on for twenty years or more at an an
nual cost of $l1 600 900 or $12, 600 GOO, but the
expenditure exceeds the enormous sum of $780,
000, ,000 while the interest aud charges 10 con-
nection with the public debt absorb nearly as
much as we were told would pay the total ex-
bense of the government"

GENERAL LABOR NEWS,

Millions of Money Locked Up Waiting an Ad-
justment Of Difficulties.
Special to the Indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, May 28.-The labor troubles in
this District are by no means settled and the
prospects of an ultimate settlement seem to be
more distant than they were when the lockout
was first inaugurated. The workingmen insist
on eight hours as a days work and the bosses
are equally as emphatic in demanding nine. All
attempts to bring about compromise have beer
unavailing. and several hundred carpenters and
bricklayers are still unemployed. While there
is considerable building going on within the
limits of the District of Columbia, there is no
doubt that the labor troubles have prevented the
expenditure Of great deal of money for build
ing purposes during the present season. 1t is
asserted that several millions of dollars which
had been sent here by New York capitalists to
their agents for the purpose of investing in tene
ment houses have been returned to New York
and Boston pending the settlement of tho
troubles The workmen themselves insist that
they are able to hold out, and that they will
never give in; but inquiry among the tradesmen
show that the lockout has had very bad effect,
and that all the mechanics are living very much
more cheaply than they were a few weeks ago.
1t is asserted and there is reason to believe that
the assertion is true, that as soon the difficulty
is settled at least five hundred new structures
will be begun.
Will Not Attend the Cleveland Meeting.
NEW YORK, May 28.-Capt Thomas Collum,
who started the Third davenue stages in opposi-
ton to the Third-avenue cars, and was chairman
of the executive committee of the Empire Pro
tective Association until Monday night last, was
prisoner in Jefferson Market Court yesterday,
accused of larceny. He had been arrested as he
was about to leave the city to attend the Knights
of Labor convention in Cleveland. In 1882 he
was janitor of the Knickerbocker Flats. Samuel
Sondheim. cotton broker, lived in the house.
In June, 1882. Sondheim went to his cottage at
Long Branch, after agreeing to pay Collum SIS a
month for taking care of his furniture, which he
values at $3. 600. When Sondheim returned TO
the city in September Jantor Collum had left
the house, and the furniture had been moved
out Detective Heidelberg traced part of the
goods to a warehouse where he says, Collum
had borrowed $500 on them The remainder were
found in the pawnshops, where Heidelberg says,
Collum had pawned them in his own name.
Collum was lost sight of until he emerged into
prominence In the Third avenue car-line strike.
Collum emphatically denied to Justice Duffy to-
day that he had stolen Sonolems property.
He had occasion to leave the building for awhile,
he said, and when he came back Sondheim's
property had been carried away. Justice Duffy
sent Collum to prison, without bail, for exami-
nation.
