The New York Weekly Post, in re-
nly to n letter from subscriber charg-
ing it with inconsistency in supporting
Mr.. Cleveland on a tariff issue, in spite
of his failure to fulfill all his civil-ser-
vice reform promises--the principal
basis on which the Post supported MS
first candidacy-thus defines its posi-
ton: "Ifwe saw the smallest chance OF
Cleveland's being opposed by any one
who would carry out or come anywhere
near carrying out the pledges Cleve-
land made in 1891, we should not be
prevented by any concern for the tarlil
from supporting him, because We
know that tariff reform is not within
the Presidents reach, while civil ser
vice reform is But we see no pros

"Rule or Thumb" Engineering,
[Ayalanclie.l


The man living who could keep up
a boom on scheme for turning one
river into another after he learned that
the water must climb ninety feet high
to get out of the one and into the other,
as was the case in the Red river and
Bayon Calcassieu scheme, such a man
possesses transcondental genius OF a
certain kind, known in slang parlance
as acheekn almost beyond conception.
This pre-cminent quality of Capt
Cowden is further manifested in the
dispatch from Washington from which
it appears that he has pronounced the
work of the River Commission, from
Memphis to New Orleans as worthless,
and that the only way to give Vieks-
burg good harbor is to turn the Va
zoo river by and in front of Vicksburg.
It does not appear that Capt. Cowdon
has made any surveys and measure
ments. has run any levels to ascertain
the difference in elevations, has sound
ed the streams or gauged their outflow,
or by any means possessed himself
with exact information on the subjects
be so glibly treats. There are elements
he needs not nor NEEDLES with, but as
in the Red River scheme, relies upon
his genius, unaided by information, to
evolve his glittering "rule of thumb
schemes. If a plodding, painstaking
engineer, who has labored hard to get
the facts, should suggest to Capt
Cowden that the Yazoo river has prac.
tically no fall in its lower reaches al
low water; that it frequently runs W
stream instead of down for miles above
its mouth; that at ten feet above low
water its outflow is only few hun
dred cubic feet per second that Nc
Nuts Lake, the channel through whicl
1t is to be diverted, has bed twenty
eight feet above low water. Thes
and other similar obstacles to an ordl
nary mind would not for a momen
stand in Capt. Cowden's way, but i
} booming @scheme" his genius woul
3 rise superior to mere prosaic facts.

Reconnaissance Or ReTerie :

Through the Coshoma Broadaxe
Mr.. A. 7. Wimberly, somewhat famous
through a proneness to monkey with
the machine relieves himself of some
views politique. He opens with the
startling revelation that
aThe Republicans of the South are
watching with an interest the intensity
of which you can scarcely realize, the
result of the National Convention to
be held on the 10Th of June"
He then in burst of confidence an
nounces that
ave require that the nominee of
that convention be man of sufficient
breadth of mind and magnitude of
soul to devise some plan whereby our
wishes and desires may be known
through the medium of the ballot box.
With some noted exceptions | believe
| am safe in saying that each man is
free to vote as he pleases, but what a
farce and waste of time it is-ike
pouring water through sieye-since
the art of counting out has been re-
duced to a perfect science"
This is both antique and sarcastique

flavor of coloeynth.
Soaring through ideality Mr.. VIM
berly descends to climacterie:
sour President should be man
whom even the humblest could venture
to approach, feeling sure that his wis.

James c. Mckee, clerk of the United |
States Court for the Southern District
of Mississippi, writes to the Chicago
Journal that the Republicans intend
to make a vigorous and aggressive
campaign in that State. He says:
The Hon. James r. Aleorn, the Hon.
John R. Lynch and the Hon. James
Hill have expressed their willingness
to stump the entire Southern portion
of the State. The Hon. d. X. Bruce,
of indianapolis, and the Hon. w. ID.
Frazee, of Okolona, Miss, will stump
Northern Mississippi. The campaign
will be opened at Bay st. Louis on
Aug. by ex-Gov. Alcorn, and at
Brookhaven on Aug. by Mr.. Lynch.
The Hon. James Hill win join the par
ty at Brookhaven, and these three will
then stump every village and hamlet
on the line of the Illinois Central Rail-
road south of Jackson. The Hon. b.
X. Bruce, ex-United States Senator
and ex-Registrar of the United States
Treasury, and the Hon. W. ID. Frazee,
the noted one-armed and one-legged
ex-reyenue collector of Northern Miss
issippi, who lost both limbs while pur-
suing the moonshiners of Northwest
ern Mississippi, will open the campaign
at Holly Springs on Aug. ?, and thence
proceed south as far as Canton, visiting
every place possible. All of these arr
clear and forcible speakers. AT leas
$4,000 will be raised as campaign
fund. The Hon. b. X. Bruce ha
already forwarded his check for SlO0'
aud the Hon. Frazee for $500.
Mr.. James Mckee, who in July las
resigned his position as Clerk OF tn
Federal Court in this District, and ha
since then been practicing his profe'
} sion here as a member of the law firm
of Lea 4 Mckee, was shown the abov
publication; and authorizes us to sa
that no such was written by him, an
that if the Chicago Journal has such
communication the same is, from be
ginning to end, a forgery.
Mr.. McKee's denial was scarcel
! needed. The knight errant sketc
might pass current as dime novel az
or in some missionary miscellany
