A WASHINGTON correspondentWrites
as follows about a member of the cab

Postmaster General Wannamaker
made ten strike as soon as he took
hold OF his department. He did not
hide himself in his room and give no.
tice to the subordinases that 1.-The
Lord Is IN his holy temple; let ali the
clerks keep silence before him." He
did not send out word that he was too
high and mighty for subordinates to
reach or converse with. On the con-
trary, he taught himself the lesson that
Frank Hatton tried in vain to teach to
Villas, that "There are clerks here who
are competent to manage the depart
ment, and you should get acquainted
with them" He went around the de-
partment, escorted by Chief Clerk Roy,
and made himself personally acquaint-
ed with clerks at their desks. Among
other things he said: Gentlemen,
want yoar advice and suggestions.
| shall get all the credit of your energy
and skill. That is the way of the
world; but you will get full credit from
me personally for all of your care and
interest in the department. 1 am Civ

HIS OPINION OF THE LEGIsLA.


Bent Murdoch sat down after the
legislature had adjourned and wrote
for his paper dn account of his stew
ardship as senator from his district,
accompanying it with some lively COM
ments of a general character on the
legislature. Speaking of that body
generally he says:
The members were above the aver
age in honesty and intelligence, but
they lacked experience-they lacked
legislative education, they lacked cour-
age, and were therefore unable to get
down to practical hard work until the
session was half over. One man can
do large amount of work in fifty days,
but one hundred and sixty-five can do
but little in a short time.
Bent tells what he did, and what he
failed to do because OF the perversity
of others. He says that but few of the
pledges made to the people last fall
were redeemed. AS for himself, every
pledge he made was redeemed, and he
AYERS that he tried hard to make the
| republican party redeem its pledges,
but could not. Some things were
done which caused him to ex-
claim that mo political party ought
to remain in power which lcountehan-
ces such work. His rare modesty
manifests itself in the final remark:
1.-The fact that the senate did not
agree with me or that ! did not
agree with the senate in its action as a
whole, or in the acts passed by it, is all
the compliment l ask or desire
Neither does he hesitate to say that
it would be far better for the state if
the republican party in it had but four
or five thousand majority. In that
case there would be, he thinks, less
fool legislation
a very sensible conclusion no doubt,
but one somewhat difficult to reach.
The republican majority in Kansas is
the pride of the party as well as some
thing terrible for its enemies to con-
template. 1t may not be the best thing
for the state, but what of that? 1t is
the best thing for the party, and party
needs, as every one knows, are of par
amount Importance. After party
comes everything else.
If politicians worked as faithfully
for the good of the people as for the in.
terests Of party, what delightful con,
dition of things there would be in this
world. But, as Colonel Murdoch init
mates, politicians are perverse set
that are as apt to do the wrong thing
as the right. They are not only per
verse but selfish. Each for himself anC
the ID take the hIndmost, is the ia
vorite motto with them, or with TIT
greater part of them. Vaulting am
bition is another evil that lends its aiC
to keep things at skies and seyens.

Gold in Boone County.

Boone county people are consider
ably excited by the supposed discov-
cry of gold in that county upon the
lands of DIR. M. A. Staten, near Ra-
cine. Many who have visited the
mines of the far West pronounce the
specimens on exhibition as gold
bearing quartz and say it is of unus-
ual richness, and the excitement is
at fever heat. The Coal River Rec
ord, in speaking Of the circumstan-
ces under which the discovery was
made, says:
Finding on his premises a large
rock, situated as to infer landmark
and bearing three similar signs, evil
IDENTIFY made years ago by the hand
of man, DR.. Staten concluded that it
might be the budapest to some
hidden treasure, and at once began
prospecting in the immediate vicin-
ity. At length he became inspired
with the idea that the three marks
on the rock possibly indicated GER
tain number of yards in certain
direction, and thereupon the Doctor
measured 300 yards to a rocky cliff,
in which he found the crevice from
which the mineral specimens in
question were subsequently taken.
Samples have been sent to an assay
er to be tested, and his answer is
anxiously awaited"

A First Of April Story.
Belford'a Magazine.

On first of April some forty years
ago advertisements appeared in the
morning newspapers of Pittsburgh,
Pa, announcing that at 3 o'clock
that afternoon the inventor of new
flying machine would give public
exhibition of the practicability OF
his invention. He would fly from
one Of the Allegheny river bridges
to another over the middle of the
stream. Long before the hour set
for the novel exhibition both the
bridges and the banks of the river
between them were densely crowded
by men, women and children, all ex-
citedly eager to see the flying man.
But the only flying done was by a
frightened goose that somebody lib
Grated from the middle of the upper
bridge little after o'clock, until
which time the crowd had, with toll
cradle patience, waited. The bird,
alarmed by the roar of the multitude
that greeted it, flew swiftly down the
river, under the lower bridge, and
far beyond the "Point," where it was
lost to sight. Then, all at once, the
knowledge seemed to burst upon the
throng that the whole affair was an
april fool" joke. That evening it
was herd to find citizen who would
admit that he had been near the AL
legheny river.

Young Man, Desist.

Why is it that our young men
and boys can't or won't ''let up" in
the practice of the pernicious and
health destroying habit of cigarette
smoking? A few days ago lad of
eighteen who had lost his head from
this cause, died in a.lunatic asylum.
Another young New Yorker who
used six packages of cigarettes a
day committed suicide while suffer
ing from temporary insanity which
the attending physician ascribedr to
his indulgence in this vice. Every
week or two brings to light some
other case in which bright boy has
become wreck. 1t is only neces-
sary to look at the fingers of the
confirmed cigarette smoker and see
how the nicotine has penetrated
through the outer skin or cuticle to
the flesh below, in order to under
stand the effect of this insidious poi
son upon the more delicate mucous
membranes Of the throat and lungs.
Will the youngsters ever learn that
they are carrying their lives in their
hands and eventually must pay the
penalty that reaches in one form or
another. the opium eater and drunk

Editing Extraordinary.

During the State Fair at Elmira,
N. T., many visitors from way back
wendell their way into the newspa-
pei printing offices. A very verdant
