WALTER STILSON HUTCHINS. Editor

The Post is now the leading newspaper at
the National Capital, and the only morning
journal worthy of the name. 1t is an organ
of conservative public sentiment, an earnest
and industrious advocate of every form of
material progress; careful and discriminating
critic of the affairs of State, and withal a
complete compendium of the important hap
penings of the day. As a newspaper pure and
simple it has never been equaled in Wash
ington.
1t is democratic in all things. 1t believes
in the principles of the party which is repre-
scented in the Administration of President
Cleveland, and during the year to come it
will give that Administration its earnest, fixed
and firm support. In the event of Mr.
Cleveland's denomination by the Democracy
it will advocate his reelection with all its
might.
But The Post is in no sense Democratic
organ, and it does not assume either to speak
for or to dictate to the party in power. Its
conviction that the country is safest in Dem
ocratic hands is the result of its strong belief
in the principles laid down at the foundation
of the Government by Thomas jefferson, and
continued to this day by jackson, Tilden and
Cleveland. When Democratic leaders in
Congress or in the country at large depart
from the path which lies straight before them,
The Post will not fail to repudiate them and
all their works beside.
The great controlling issue of the Presi-
Dental contest of 1888 is the reduction of
the Treasury Surplus through a prompt and
complete revision of tariff duties. The
Government is collecting yearly from the
people one hundred millions of dollars more
than it needs or can use in any legitimate
way. This money must be relinquished to
the people and the revenue laws which stand
in the way must be in large measure revised
and repealed. To effect this reform is the
sacred duty of the party which now controls
the House of Representatives. 1t is a task
which can neither be evaded nor ignored.
The Democratic party has it in its power
to score its greatest victory in the November
elections of the new year. It's record is
stainless and its policy is statesmanlike,
patriotic and thoroughly American. But il
must be true to itself and true to the princi-
pies which it has inherited with its name.
1t is The Posts ambition to help this
promise to its ful6llment, and good Demo
Gratis everywhere should help u.s. Now is the

are as hard as stone, and the linen WRAP
pitgs are stiff with frost. 1t is very silent
in here, and the white shrouded forms give
an appearance of mystery to the some
what uncanny scene. The freezing is ac-
complished and the sheep wait here for
shipment.
Shipment is, however, not far distant.
From the store-room they are removed to
huge closed cars, specially prepared TO re-
ceive them, and arranged SO as to exclude
as much light, air and heat as possible.
These trucks are run down to the port, and
left alongside the steamer which is load
ing for England To the last there is an
uncanniness about them. 1t is necessary
that the trucks should be unloaded as fast
as possible, SO as to give them no time to
gain temperature; and consequently it is
usual for the stevedoers to work all night,
or most of the night at the loading. The
visitor who finds himself about twelve
o'clock on one of the ocean wharfs may
be startled by the ghostly nature of the
scene that meets his eyes. Under the
silver beams of the electric light men are
visible slowly and stealthily carrying shroud-
ed forms upon their shoulders from the
cars Up the gangways they creep with
their burdens, which one by one are shot
down in the recesses of the hold. Here
they are once more packed away in another
''frozen" chamber, where they remain for
the six weeks voyage. At the end ofthat
time they are disgorged into the receiving
shed in London, and pass into the markets
for sale and consumption. Before they are
ready for sale, however, they must be
thawed, and a great deal depends upon the
method of thawing. On board ships it is
very easy to tell when mutton has been
properly thawed. Sometimes at rush the
cook finds himself behindhand with his
work, and is then obliged to thaw artificial
ly by pouring not water upon the JOINT, OF
otherwise heating it. But the proper way
is to allow the thawing to be accomplished
naturally and slowly by exposing the meat
to the ordinary temperature of the air. By
this means discoloration may beprevented,
and the meat is more likely to be tender.
When thawed the mutton is to be regarded
as if it were freshly killed, and treated ac-
cordingly.

THE WEDDING FEE.
BY r. N. srRErrEn.

One morning, fifty years ago
When apple trees were white with snow
offragrant blossoms, and the air
Was spell-bound with the perfume rare
Upon farm horse, large and lean,'
And lazy with its double load,
A sun-brown youth and maid were seen
jogging along the winding road.
Blue were the arches of the skies,
But bluer were that maiden's eyes
The dew drops on the grass were bright,
But brighter was the loving light
That sparkled meath each long-fringed lid
Where those bright eyes of blue were hid
Adown the shoulders, brown and bare,
Rolled the soft waves ofgolden hair,
Where, almost strangled with the spray,
The sun, willing sufferer, lay.
1t was the fairest sight, ween,
That the young man had ever seen;
And with his features all aglow,
The happy fellow told her so,
And she. without the least surprise,
Looked on him with those heavenly eyes
Saw underneath that shade of tan
The handsome features of q man,
And with a joy but rarely known,
She drew that dear face to her own,
And by that bridal bonnet hid
1 cannot tell you what she did.
SO on they ride, until among
The newborn leaves with dew drops hung,
The parsonage. arrayed in white,
Peers out-a more than welcome sight.
Then, with cloud upon his face,
''what shall we do ?" he turned to say,
SHOULD he refuse to take his pay
From what is in the pillow-ease?'
And glancing down, his eyes surveyed
The pillow case, before him laid,
Whose contents, reaching to IFS hem,
Might purchase endless joys for them.
The maiden answers: "Let us wait;
To borrow trouble where's the need?'
Then at the parsons squeaking gate
Halted the more than willing steed.
Down from his horse the bridegroom sprung
The latchless gate behind him swung;
The knocker Of that startled door,
Struck as 1t never was before,
Brought the whole household pale with fright
And there, with bushes on his cheek,
So bashful he could hardly speak,
Inc IuTIneT met luelE NOuuSiihS Si5hts
The groom goes in, his GRAND tells,
And as the parson mods, he leans
Far DER the window sill, and yells,
Come in. He says he'll take the beans!"
Oh, how she jumped With one glad bound
She and the bean bag reached the ground.
Then, clasping with each dimpled arm
The precious product of the farm,
She bears 1t through the open door,
And down upon the parlor floor
Dumps the best beans vines ever bore.
All! happy were their songs that day;
When man and wife they rode away.
But happier this chorus still
Which echoed through those woodland
scenes:
God bless the priest of Watsonville!
God bless the man who took the beans!'

Very few people can afford to part with
their money for anything less than its full
value. Until you have thoroughly investi-
gated the sources of supply, and know where
to get the most for your money, it is not wise
to let it slip out of your pockets into other
peoples pockets. Many people part with
their money without proper care or thought,
but "don't you do it"

Sensational News of the

AUBREY, Tex June 2.-Phillip Spear, a
crippled shoemaker, was shot by Mrs. w,
M. Clardy here this morning; five shots
were fred. One broke his lett arm, anoth-
er went through his hat and a third
glanced on his breast, the other two
missing him entirely. The woman halls
from Brown county where she claims to
own good farm. She says her husband
is in the lunatic asylum. Spear is a man
about 60 years old, has family
living at Roanoke, but has been
separated from his wife for
about two years. He ran shoe shop
and "blind tiger" here last year, but
skipped when the grand jury met in Jan
uary. 1t seems that ne and the woman
have been roaming over the country
together for some three months. They
had quarrel about span of mules Tues
day, which was renewed this morning, re-
sulting in the above. Deputy Sheriff
Spangler arrested them both and lodged
them in Denton jail. The woman has
two children, boy and a
girl, aged about 10 and vars
respectively. Public sympathy is
about equally divided between the two,
with very little for either, as they are re-
garded as hard characters. Later DR.. R.
r, ODER has been arrested in connection
with the above case, charged with being an
accomplish of the woman in the horrible
deed of infanlicide. The remains of an
infant, prematurely born, were found in
Elm bottom by Deputy Sheriff
Spangler, near where Spear and the
woman we're camped few nights ago,
and Spear says that ODER gave the medi-
cine that worked this result.

Special Telegram to the Statesman.
HEMPsTEAD, June 2.-The whole of the
testimony in the case of Dick Springfield
and Jack McDade, has now been finished,
and the attorney will wind up on Monday,
taking at least all the day. The defense
has advanced no stronger evidence than
that concluded last night. Peace reigns,
and Captain McMurray and his brave
rangers are getting fat.
This case was set for Monday,
when the argument will be made. The
district attorney, Haninay, says this is
the strongest case he has ever made
against any party. That he has been dis
trict attorney for six years and that he
has prosecuted many persons for MUIR
der. No one doubts that the defendants
will be remanded to jail without bail. II
is intimated that the defendants will be
transferred to the Washington county
jail for safe keeping if bail is refused
General King, Captain MoMurray and the
rangers are still here.
