ALL is not satisfactory in the Law
renee post Office. Rumors of shortage
are abroad. Mr.. Shannon who turned
over the Office to his successor, Good
rich, May 20, admits that his assistant
Woodruff, does not account for what
seems to be deficiency. Shanrot puts
the blame entirely on Woodruff, who
had exclusive control of all moneys re-
ceived and discussed. On learning of
the shortage, Shannon telegraphed at
once for an inspector, who arrived in
Lawrence Saturday night and is inves-
tigating the matter. According to
Shannon Woodruff is acting in a very
strange manner in refusing to give any
explanation Of matters, further than
to say that his superior has been ex-
trAvagant and over-drew his salary.
Rumor places the shortage as high as
50, 900 or 81, 900.

THE manipulators of the great salt
trust say that the object of the trust is
not to raise the price of salt. but to
render it permanently cheaper by
preventing ruinous competition. Very
well. If these gentleman are to be be-
lieved, they are philanthropists who
lay awake of nights schemeing to bene-
fit the people by putting down the price
of salt and fastening a weight 10 it TO
keep it permanently" down. Some
body, one Mills, Roger g., probably
suggested several months ago an easy
scheme to make salt cheaper, viz, re-
move the, tariff OH it, but they kicked
like mules, and why not? What credit
would they get if this course were
] adopted? As philanthropists, they
wanted to unite their efforts and drag
the price down in spite of the tariff
balloon that tends to keep it up. If
they succeed, it will be notable argu-
ment i'll favor of the trust, and we shall
probably see e'er long, all over this
land, Il general and concerted effort by
manufacturers in all lines of business
employing the trust for the purpose of
permanently cheapening their wares
for the good of their fellow man. As
the pioneers in this great work of ben
eficence, let us give the salt makers the
place of honor.

TALMAGE was right when he said
the other day that the
Johnstown disaster must not be re-

fishers and hunters of Pennsylvania
who built it with an eye

ANOTHER of the well known and
periodical attempts to execute the
Sunday law is now being tried at Gin
cinnati. Very few of the Sunday the
aters or of the saloons closed last Sun
day, but over one hundred arrests
were made. Each will demand jury
trial in the police court according to
custom, and as all the time possible
will be consumed in each, the patience
of the authorities will be exhausted
after half a dozen trials and the
business will be dropped. That has

The weakness and utter incapacitv
OF the last jay legislature of Kansas is
shown by their refusing to do anything
toward increasing the capacity of the
state asylumns for the insane. This
county had to send dangerous lunatic

cause the asylum could not take him.
From other counties similar stories
come. Instead of looking after the well
fare of the people, and making even
necessary provision for poor
untortunates blasted in in
