Wan amaker's Dynamo.

Postmaster General Wanamaker, in a
recent speech at dinner given in his honor
by the mayor of Philadelphia few even
ings ago, said that he was at work improv-
ing dynamo to drive the machinery of the
postoffice department. He said also that
all the materials for the improvements
would be republican, because this was a re-
publican administration. He expressed the
opinion that when the dynamo was finished
it would run the $1,000 postof1ices and spend
the S66, Sl2,073 OF appropriated for the post
Office department to the satisfaction of the
entire country.
Mr.. Wanamaker is sanguine man, and
it may be that his dynamo will be a salts
factory one. 1t will be satisfactory if he
operates it in the manner he promised, in
the same speech, to operate it. He said: "My
purpose is not to allow the public service,
which is due alike to republicans and demo-
crats, and which concerns all men, women
and children, to suffer for party reasons"
II the Postmaster Generals dynamo is
operated so that only good, efficient and
conscientious men are selected for all the
positions in the postal service, and incom-
petents are dismissed promptly, he will
hear only praises on all sides The postal
service is very close to the peop aud they
are going TO kick when it is faulty.

The Presidents Backbone.

The Presidents course in making appoint
ments is exciting comment 1t is admitted
that neither his cabinet nor members of
congress control appointments to any
marked extent. The reason Of'this is said
to be the Presidents fear that it will be said
that Blaine or somebody else is running the
administration.
Before his Inauguration the statement
that Blaine would be the real President
while he would be only a figure head an
moved him more than anything else that
found its way into the newspapers. He is
SO anxious to convince the country that he
is President in fact as well as in name that
he is in danger Of making himself unpopu-
lar.
He seems to be very much put out because
the Senate refused to confirm the nomina-
ton Of Mr. Halstead, and yet, as one sena-
tor said day or SO ago, he ought not to be
surprised if the republican senators do not
always do as he would like them TO. Ia
view Of the fact that the Senate is about as
responsible for those who are put into office
as the President is, it is not TO be wondered
at if it sometimes questions the fitness of
some Of his nominations
1t seems that some of the senators are a
little out of humor with the President be-
cause he has persistently refused to comply
with requests made by them respecting
appointments. lie has acted as if the offices
were his personal property, and, it is
alleged, has shown that he regarded with
disfavor any attempt to influence him in
his selections for them.
1t looks as if he had stiffened his backbone
for the work he is required to do. The danger
he will have to look out for, however, lies
in the Senate If that body gets its black
up" he will not have very happy time of
it. He will have to divide the spoils with
the republican senator's.

The navy yard commissioners are ex-
pected to reach here to-day. 1t is not known
how long they will remain here. 1t is
probable, however, that they will stop
long enough to make careful examination
of the advantages Savannah has to offer for
a navy yard.
Preparations have been made for the
reception Of the commissioners and for their
entertainment. The fact ought not to be
overlooked, however, that they are here for
business, and not for pleasure, and while no
effort should be spared to make their visit a
pleasant one, the chief care should be to
provide them with such information as
they need to form an intelligent opinion
respecting the matter they have under con-
sideration.
Those here who have carefully canvassed
Savsnnah's advantages for a navy yard
seem to think that she stands an excellent
chance for getting it. WHAT these advan-
tages are is very well known to our citizens.
and they will be brought to the attention
of the commissioners Take them all in
all they seem to be superior to those of
any other port on the South Atlantic coast,
and to any on the Gulf coast.
At first Augusta seemed to prefer Port
Royal, and she may yet, although at the
meeting of her citizens the other day, a
very level-headed business man pointed out
that it would be to her interest to have the
proposed navy yard at Savannah. 1t Is
worthy of notice that since that meeting
Augusta has not been SO anxious to have
Port Royal chosen.
When the commissioners were at Charles
ton they appeared to be laboring under
some mistake respecting the depth of water
on Savannah bar. 1t may be that they
were misunderstood. Anyway, it will do
no harm to call their attention to the depth
Of water on the bar and also in the river.

throat began to feel sore, too, and no
came to the wise conclusion that he
had better go directly home to his
kind mother.
1t was very tired, very cold and
very sick little boy that crept into Mrs
Townsend's house that afternoon.
When he saw his mother he cried
out in hoarse VOICE: 80 mamma! l
don't want boys to have their own way
any more"
"You are sick, my son." was all she
replied.
And, taking him in her arms, she
laid him in his bed. Then the little
fellow had a peculiar feeling all
through his body, and he believed he
was dying.
Mamma" he cried, in alarm, "don't
let me die and I'll always mind what
you say!'
After that the feeling passed away,
and he saw that his mother was smil-
ing.
"Why, Ned, you must have been
dreamingw she said.
And Ned looked down on his night
clothes, and realized that all his trouble
had come to him in dream.
"At any rate" he said to himself.

children to have their own way, any
how. Us. Jennie Smith, in Christian
