Postmaster General Dickinson's return to
his duties at Washington is imperatively de-
manded by dozens of pressing considerations,
among which few are more important than the
condition of the San Francisco post office. The
postmaster in that city, like Mr.. Dickinson, IS
shamelessly neglectful of his work, and spends
his time and uses his Office so audaciously IN
partisan efforts that the mail service has be-
come as demoralized as it is in this region.
So soon as Mr.. Dickinson can find moment 5
leisure from his blasphemous speech making
tour and so soon as he has hunted down the
forger maintained by the Democratic National
Committee and sent him to jail, and so soon as
he has prosecuted the Committee for swindling
the Government, and so soon as he has officially
condemned Mr.. Pearson's-well, call it negli-
gence-then he might turn his attention
TO the office at San Francisco.

Journalism has some picturesque features in
those regions where railroads are unknown For
example, =" The Atlanta Constitution attempted
to give on the morning after the Georgia election
the name Of every Representative and Senator
elect. But of the 1908 precincts in the State,
more than 1000, it is said, are not reached by
railroads and nearly this latter number of horses
urged by trusty messengers, were employed to
gather the returns This incident is in itself a
striking proof of the changes time has wrought
in the South. What would one Of the old-fash-
toned ante-belum partisan editors have said to
this?

As a matter of course it turns ont to be an Ohio
boy that was the youngest soldier in the war.
His name was Eli Wright, he was from loungs-

and one month. This settles controversy that
has gone on until the " boy soldiers of the war
have approached middle age

An interesting occasion will be celebrated at
Stratford-upon-AvOn on Wednesday next, October
O. that being the date assigned for the unveilng
Of Lord Ronald Covers monument to Shakes
pearc This piece of sculpture upon which Lord
Cover has long been engaged IS placed upon the
beautiful lawn of the Shakespeare Memorial Thea
ire. little southwark from that building, and in
full view Of the church in which the poet was
buried It comprises statue Of Shakespeare
upon massive pedestal, with figures of Hamlet,
Falstaff, etc, grouped at the base. Such mon
ument was needed to complete the tribute with
which Shakespcare's native city signalzes its
homage to his memory and its appreciation Of
his immortal fame The work is noble in con-
cepton, and it has been wrought with loving
skill and patient devotion. Stratford will enjoy
another bright day and will have something more
hereafter to show to the Shakespeare pilgrim TO
its poetic shrines. James Russell Lowell has been
invited to take part in the exercises of the dedi
cation William Winter was first asked to speak
there for Americans but, as he was leaving Eng
land, was obliged to decline the invitation.

The New-York Baseball Club, after having
won the League championship. cannot afford to
lose the higher and final honor of beating the
st. Louis club and establishing its complete
supremacy. This is the third consecutive year
in which ST. Louis has been distinguished by
winning the Association pennant and once it
contrived to obtain the championship of the
world. The League champions have twice de-
feated their rivals, and if the Newly orks fail
this time the record will be tied. Baseball ex-
perts consider the home team invincibe, but it
must be acknowledged that the st. Louis club
is playing skilful and careful game in which
science is taking great part. The games have
all been billed. They will run from October
16 to October 81 nine games being arranged
for. three in New York, three in st. Louis, one
in Boston, one in Brooklyn and one in Phila-
delphia. The Giants must put forth their best
efforts to round up their triumphant career by
a brilliant and successful defence of the
Leagues foremost position.

Horses With Bogus Tails.

A stylish barouche drawn by two
prancing horses drove out Walnut
street yesterday afternoon. A we'll
known wigmaker was stanking at
Broad and Walnut streets talking to
Times reporter
"Do you see that team ?" said the
wigmaker. "Wcll, do you see what
beautiful flowing tails they've got ?"
They're bogus"
The little wigmaker laughed aloud
and then said 81 made those tails.
| make tails for a good many stylish
horses. You know that Il horse
without a handsome tail isn't hand
some at all. He may have beauti-
full name and hold his head high
and step and prance, and bite his
bit, showing all the traits of full
blooded animal, but he hasn't got
a long flowing tail all the other
characteristics go for nothing.
"There are a great many stylish
steppers driven in the Park every
day that have false tails that sweep
the ground. The horses get used to
the false tails Just as man becomes
accustomed to wearing wig. The
false tails are fastened on to the
horses own tail so nicely that you
can't detect the deception. The tails
don't have to be removed at night
when the horse is put in his stall.
The bogus tails can be washed and
brushed and combcd on the horse
just as well as off of him.
The bogus tails cost from $40 to
sl5. I generally make a pair for
s25. They will last as long as the
horse. l buy dead horses tails and
names just as | buy human hair.
The practice Of shocking horses tails
is shocking" Here the little wig
maker laughed violently at his Joke
and then continued "The practice
is dying out; but II tail will never
grow in like it was before it was cut
short. The way to cultivate horses
tail is to clip it about an inch once
n month"

WHAT causes the strike in Pitts
burg, where 10000 men are idle?
Is it caused by tariff or highly pro-
tected labor? It is caused by the
employers, who are protected,-an
doubly benefited by protection
asking the workingmen to accept a
reduction in wages. The Euening
Telegraph of Philadelphia, Repub-
lican Journal supporting the election
of Harrison, says:
There appears to he a good many
sides to the tariff problem and men
of ordinary intellectual capacity
may well be excused if they give
up the solution of it in despair.
This contention of the operators and
operatives of the iron mills has some
exceedingly perplexing compiled.
tions and obscurities; it even seems
to suggest that the very highest
duties which can be imposed for
the protection of an infant industry
which has grown quite venerable as
to years, does not protect at all the
wages of labor.
The highest protected of all our
industries is that of iron and steel 4;
it is the most coddled and petted
and wrapped in lambs wool protcc-
ton of them all, and yet here are
the capitalists and laborers employ
ed contending about the question
of wages. Labor is not asking for
more, but capital is asking-insist-
ing too, by shutting its mills against
labor-that it shall take less, rs
much as one-tenth less.
Mr.. Jones, ex-chairman of the
Republican national committee and
cast-iron and steel capitalist, one of
the largest in the country, says that
the continual agitation of the tariff
question and the prospect of the re-
duction of the duties on iron and
steel have induced buyers to with
hold their orders until the reduction
takes place, when they can buy their
supplies cheaper. This is exceed
ceedingly tiresome, drearily stupid,

From reports which have reached
us, it would appear that the farmers
have cause TO be very thankful for a
full harvest The recent rain fall
gave new life and rapid growth to
the corn, which now presents a
beautiful sight. The yield of wheat
and oats will surpass former years,
while the grass crop is abundant,
both as to, quantity and quality
With all these good things, the far
mer can gracefully wear continual
smile.

THE Council of this town seem to
be using every honest effort to Sc
cure for the town a water supply at
as moderate cost as possible. To do
this they have gone along carefully
in making specifications and asking
bids. Some feeling has arisen over
the location of a proper spot in
which to drive q well. Several
places. have been tried, but rock has
been invariably struck at distance
Of about fifty feet or more, which
shows that Newark is founded on a
rock, and that we are none the less
solid on that account. But, suppose
rock is struck. Let not that deter
the operation. Go through the rock,
and dig deeper still, until a suffi-
cient vein is discovered. Surface
water alone can be expected at a
depth of fifty feet. Think of the
well being driven in the city of Will
mington, = eleven hundred feet.
Even this depth has not satisfied
the projectors of the scheme. SO
we say, with all frankness, let no
rock stand in your way, but go
through it, and give us supply of
water that will be both pure and
plentiful.

Two Ways. Choose Which

There are two usual ways Of doing
what Nature sometimes docs incomplete
ly, namely, to relieve the bowels. one is
TO swallow drastic purgative which
eyacuates profuscly, abruptly and with
pain, the other is to take Hostetter's
stomach Bttcrs the effect Of which is
not violent but sufficiently through.
and which does not gripe the intestines
If the first is selected, the person en-
ploying it need not expect permanent
benefit and he cannot hope to escape
thedcbilitating reaction which leaves the
organs as bad or worse Off than before.
If on the other hand he resorts to the
Bitters, he can rely upon the restoration
of regular habit of the body, consc-
quent upon renewal of healthy tone
in the intcstinally canal. Besides health-
fully relaxing the bowels, the Bitters

JUST now discussion is running
high on tariff and free trade. 1t
seems that these two questions will
claim all attention during the cam
paign. In the first place every in
telligent man should make himself
acquainted with both the Republi-
can and Democratic platforms, for
1888, on the tariff and revenue ques-
tions. While platforms are little
more than nothing, as parties decide
for themselves rs to what is best.
At this time when party leaders
will attempt to defog the question of
protection and free-trade, it is advis-
able that every many do his own
reading, thinking and voting.

senseless drive for when was there
not tariff agitation +? When, during
the last eight or ten years, was there
not bill before Congress to reduce
duties and extend the free list ?
The Philadelphia Times says;
Why do the iron employers, who
are highly protected not only by the
present tariff but also by the pro-
visions of the Mills bill, insist upon
a reduction of wages to workingmen
when they not only demand, but
contribute money literally to main
tain excessive taxes upon the neces-
saries Of life which are consumed by
labor?
Why not come at once to common
honesty with labor and propose to
end the wanton robbery of working
men by exacting from 40 to so cents
of each dollar they earn when ex-
pended from what they most need
in their homes?
This robbery Of labor can't last,
and the more money contributed by
employers to debauch elections and
maintain monopoly taxes, the more
overwhelming will be The revolt of
labor against its oppressors. Hon
esty will command the trust of labor;
expressions in taxes and corruption
in politics will surely breed labor
revolution.
