No less than sixteen clerks on lines run

The sixteen, and the chief clerk himself
told them that the fact that they were
Democrats was all that W. necessary

new men substituted is q man who

offence of having reat lot of mail

such changes is most marked, and

An Election With Il Lesson.

Nobody is paying much attention to
notifies this week, but there has been
some politics going on all the same, and
a bit of political news washed down
from Connecticut is instructive. 1t is
especially so in connection with the
long list of Post Office appointments
Yesterday, "vice So-and-so, removed"
About a wear and half after PresI-
dent Cleveland came into office he APP
pointed a Democratic postmaster at
Norwich, in place of the Republican
incumbent, whose term had expired.
This Democratic postmaster conducted
the office in non-par tisan way. re-
tanning a majority of the old employees
and giving general satisfaction. But
Norwich.is Republican town and as
soon as the new administration came
in it was thought necessary to have
Republican postmaster. The Demo-
cratic incumbent accordingly was sum-
marily removed and stalwart Redub-
1ican appointed, who, within twenty
four hours of taking possession, remov-
ed every Democratic employe except
one.
The purpose of this, of course, was to
strengthen the party" 1t isint"rest-
ing to observe the sequel. On Monday
an election was held in Norwich, and
for the first time in the history of the
town the Democrats elected their
whole municipal ticket, the Republi-
cans even losing control of the City
Council. This is the way the party
was strengthened by grasping at the
spoils.
Whether or not the voters really eX-
pected Mr.. Harrison to keep his civil
service reform pledges, it looks as
though they were determined to resent
his violation of them and it would be
wise TO heed the warning from Nor

An Amusing Relic of the Last Cam

The other day one OF our country
friends put into our hands relic of the
campaign of last year which, awaken
ing memories of that contest, is an
amusing reminder of how large class
of voters were humbugged into sup
porting the cause of the Republican
party aud the monopoly tariff. This
precious relic comes to US in the form
of small sheet of printed paper on
each side of which is Harrison cam
paign song, which was issued by the
State committee for general campaign
use. One of these interesting ditties is
headed, "Good bye, Old Grover, Good
bye" With a lot of jinglirg balderdash
about "the train coming round the
bend, loaded down with Harrison
men," the silly verses. after declaring
that "free trade is busted" went on to
promise ''roast beef to eat and two
dollars u day."

be presumed, was sung in every indus.

"Wolf Scalp Counties" Before the war
the settlers had the wolves in pretty
good control, but during the six years
of fiphtinp. all the men in the southern
counties were in one army or the Other
and during these years the wolves
multiplied to such numbers that the
sheep-raising industry of that section
never has been restored. Tn the five
wears of 1870 to 1873, 81 800 900 were
paid out by State for wolf scalps. One
would think that parties had embark
ed in the business of raising wolves as
a means of a livelihood. This is not,
however, true, for it will take more
than another million and half to ex-
terminate the wolves from Southern
Missouri.-Stdr-Sd Sayings.

She had need of all her courage in somo

General Wallace set about breaking up
the business. Ono of gang who boasted
that he had killed man for every year

pledged his word and honor as despor-

he had shot him; with so much at stake
they played very earnestly and Ben Hur
