CHEAa POSTAGE.

Mr.. WANAMAKER. who is at the head
of the postal department as recon-
pense for his financial ability displayed
in the Republican cause last year. upon
reflection has concluded that the time
for one-cent postage has not yet come.
That was the opinion of the man who
held the position under the Democratic
administration, but the present admin
istration was elected upon platform
that demanded and promised the one
cent rate. 1t was. not limited by dates,
and what right has MI. WANANAKER
to assume that it is not applicable to the
present time? Republican policies are
in the direction of making things dearer
and adding to the burdens Of the people.
1t would relieve the monotony of its
tendencies to have it cheaper some
thing. The measure will come before
the next congress, and that body may
not be discouraged in the work by the
good WANAMAKER

THE PARIS EXPOSITION.

If Sunday is not observed in France
according to the commandment, 1T
nevertheless receives secular recOgni-
ton of more consequence than in any
other country except Spain. 1t was,
therefore, selected as the day most
suspicious for the formal opening of the
great Paris exposition. 1t is pretty we'll
understood, however, that the absence
of representatives of other European
powers at the exposition opening yes
terday was in no sense due to the relig-
ious scruples of European monarchies
or to their objection to Sunday being
utilized as holiday. 1t was simply due
to BISMARCK's influence, added to the
prevalent European prejudice against
republics. If France were still an en-
pire, it is doubtful whether even the
dread of BIsMARcK's ire would have
induced the European monarchs to have
offered this insult to sister nation.
But doubtless it was considered an op-
perfume time to rebuke the people Of
France for having discarded the forms
of monarchy, and the mullet-headed old
SovereignS of Europe concluded to fol-
low BIsMARcK's advice and act in con-
cert.
1t is all the more gratifying, under the
circumstances, that the last congress
was thoughtful enough to make pro-
vision for Americas representation at
the Paris exposition. The manner in
which the European soyereigns have
snubbed the French republic on this oc-
caSion adds another link to the bond of
sympathy between this country and
France. The insult to France was an
indirect one to ourselves, and to us it
now becomes matter OF national inn
portance that the Paris exposition
should be made grand success. The
administration at Washington and the
American minister TO France are now
urged by sense of national pride to
give their heartiest cooperation in max
ing the exposition success, and thus
teach the decayed monarchIes of Europe
that popular government is not thing
to be scorned, or to be treated with con-
tumely.

ASSASSINATED.
Prof Matchett Shot Dead by q
Coward.

GALENA, Ill.,, May 5.-Prof. H. T.
Matchett. one of the best known educa-
tors in this section. and the founder and
principal at the academy at Hanover,
this county. was assassinated to-day by
George Skene, son of Supervisor Will
lam Skene. Prof. Matchett was return
ing in his buggy from small town
where he had been conducting Sab
bath school, and had just reached a turn
in the road when Skene stepped in front
of the buggy and shot him. Henry
Prisk, who was also in the buggy,
was wounded in the arm by sec
Ond shot from the revolver. The
murderer, after firing the shots,
coolly placed the smoking weapon in
his pocket and disappeared in the
woods, where he is now supposed to be
hiding. Prof. Matchett had objected to
Skene's attentions to his sister. aud
this is supposed to have been the cause
of the murder. Intense indignation is
felt here, and if the assassin is caught
he is likely to be lynched.

An Attempt to Be Made to Absorb
ST. Louis Companies.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-. May 5.-A special
dispatch from New York stating that
Henry H. Rogers and w. p. Thompson,
Of the Standard Oil company,
had left that city Friday night
for st. Louis to consummate ar
engagements for taking hold of
the white lead trust, and probably alb
sorbing the white lead companies here,
created quite stir in commercial cir
cles. Col. Thomas Richeson, president
of the Collier White Lead company,
when approached on the subject said:
in regard to the purchase OF the lead
trust 10y Standard Oil company magnates
know nothing, nor was | aware that
Standard Oil company, were about to
visit st. Louis for the purpose of taking
hold OF the trust. 1t is probably alb
sorbing the Collier and Southern COM
panies." William Ii. Pulsifer, presi-
didn't of the St. Louis Lead and Oil COM
pahy, when shown the telegram from
New York, and asked what he knew
about it, said: ''Yes, about three
months ago large number of certifi-
Gates were sold in New York, and
heard, but do not know positively, that
the purchasers were persons interested
in the Standard Oil company. l do not
believe that they amounted to a con-
trolling interest, however" Notwith-
standing the statements of local
lead men to the effect that they
did not credit the story about
Messrs. Rogers and Thompson, of the
Standard Oil company. these gentle
men arrived in st. Louis this morning
and are quartered at the Southern hotel.
An Associated Press reporter called
and found Mr.. Rogers atfable and, in

ATTEMPT AT ASSASSINATION.
The Imminent Danger of an Ar.
kansas EX-Sheriff.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, May 5.-A private
letter from MorriIlton states that an
attempt to assasslnate ex-Sheriff Harry
Coblentz was made late Saturday after
noon, on the street Of this place, by Oby
Bently. Only meager details can be
learned at this time. CoblentZ, who is
assisting in the prosecution of the
election cases, and who has been here
attending the federal court. left for
home Saturday morning, Bently leaving
Friday. 1t seems that when COblentz
got off the train at Morrillton Saturday,
Bently appeared on the street
with a double-barrelled shot gun
and was about to fire on bin when
Sheriff Shelby and others caught hold
of the weapon and prevented probably
another tragedy. Bad blood between
the two men on account of COblentz's
efforts to convict certain parties charged
with election frauds is the cause of the
trouble. Serious trouble is feared.

the st. Louis DEAL" said Mr.. Rogers.
Rogers smiled and said: "That is an
other matter. 1 will admit that we are
here to look after lead matters. 1t is
natural that we should do so, even
il on a purely personal trip, for
we are largely interested in lead"
''Do you contemplate the absorption of
the st. Louis white lead companies not
in the trust?" That lisa question L am
willing but unable to answer. We shall
certainly meet the st. Louis lead men
while here for business reasons" Mr..
Rogers could not be induced to state
anything more definite, but it is known
here that the local lead men will meet
Messrs. Rogers and Thompson to-mor-
row, when something more definite
will likely be ascertained.

They will be privileged, like every other
