IT Is probably not generally known
that postal clerks are now supposed to
be furnished arms by the government
on some mail routes. But in fact it is
only burlesque. For instance, mail
cars on the Santa Fe carrying four OF
five clerks, are furnished with one re-
vOlver. Imagine four mail clerks fight
ing for the use of single revolver in
case of an attack by train robbers.

Engineer Grady ana Brakeman Ellis
Badly 8cslded by an Exploding
Boiler.
Thursday morning, about five
O'Clock. as Engineer Grady
was preparing to pub out
the through freight No. 81, engine
No. 2S7, of which he was in charge,
exploded, badly scalding him and the
brakeman, Ellis.
Engine 237 is an old one, and only
Wednesday had been taken to Florence
and then replaced with another to fin
ish the run. 1t was brought back and
given an oyerhauling in the shops and
was considered good for the run. The
engine was taken to the west end
of the yard and connected
with the train, and Just as they were
ready to start it exploded, filling the
cab with steam and scalding the en-
gineer very badly on both forearms and
neck. The boiler seems to have ex-
ploded into the fire box and
the door of the box was blOwn open
throwing hot Goals, steam and cinders
all over the brakeman who was stand
ing in the gangway. He was thrown
violently against the side of the tender,
and besides being badly scalded was
injured in the back. He was able,
however, to get to his home with but
little assistance, land is not very serious
" injured, although badly burned.
Fireman Strunck was in the cab, but
bruise. Considering the terrible force
and the dilapidated condition of the
boiler it is wonder how they all
escaped instant death.
The engine is almost total wreck,
and when reporter visited the yards
yesterday nearly a dozen men were
at work getting it in shape to take to the
round house. No blame can be attached
to either the men on the engine or the
repairefs.

BUFFALO BILL" whatever his
equestrian feats in the Mexican saddle

given a days fOx-hunting and provided
with an ordinary English hunting sad

httle-for him, and the scout was
thrown at the first fence.

WHENEVER republican newspaper
man Is at loss what to write, he
writes q long editorial upon the
Shocking condition of the mail
service in Kansas There is one
paper in this section of the state that
regularly gives the faithful employees
Of this branch Of the government a
brown roast once each week. Some
time since this same paper went into
Mysteries on account OF the delay Of
some Of their paper mail. The matter
was sifted and it was found out that
the mail was lost between the printing
Office and the railway train. Mistakes
are bound to occur in any business,
but the mail service of Kansas is
loaded down with execrations from a
radical republican horde of newspaper
men whose only grievance is demo-
cratic supremacy. A postal clerk is
blamed with all delays. A man will
carry letter in his pocket week and
in all that time blame the ''pesky
agent for the non-arriYal of the
answ er.-I Patriot.
The Patriot allows its politics to run
away with its reason. In all the com
plants so far made regarding the
mail service we cannot recall one
about delayed letters. 1t has only
been papers. And the explanation is
easy. The letters are handled by thu
older and most experienced clerks
while the papers are turned over to the
new men. The former are mostly re
publicans-kept in service becaus,
they could not be spared-while thu
latter are, Of course, democrats. Thi
is fact. By inquiry the Patriot maj
or any other fair-minded democrat cal
satisfy himself on this point. ant
verify the truth of this statement.

VIII Cleveland Accept = Re-nonliu.
AkfnnR


Brick Pomeroy, whose Democracy
is too well known to be questioned, has
this to say about the candidacy of
Cleveland for second term:
I'm 1884 Grover Cleveland and the
Democratic party each stood out
squarely as opposed to second presi-
Dental term. Cleveland declared a
single term to be best for the country
and for the party. The Democratic
party said the same. Accepting the
utterances of Cleveland in 1884 TO be
honest, he cannot be candidate for
the second term. If he was honest in
his opinions and utterances he will not
be candidate. We behave him truth
full, and therefore ne is not and VIII
not be candidate. If he is, then he
has swallowed his objections, and If
the Democratic party reCants the evil
dence viii be that he has swallowed
the party. IF the declarations of the
party in 1884 concerning second term
were honest and the Democratic party
Is still in existence, Cleveland cannot
and VIII not be q candidate for the
second term. nor viii he be elected.
Having heard nothing from Cleveland
as to his being candidate, and hear
ing nothing from the Democratic party
as to change OF base, we have right
TO announce that Cleveland VIII not be
q candidate to succeed himself, though
of1eehcldeEs naturally wish the ne
tentlon of the power that gives them
place.
