has been circulating two pcti-
tons Zone Republican and one
citizcns) asking for the ap-
pointmcnt to the postmaster
ship at this office whenever a
change is contemplated. MIR.
Wimbrough is a jealous, new
er faltering Republican. In
this respect he has never been
found wanting and the Mis-
sENGER does not hesitate to
say it hopes that if our pres
ent efficient postmaster is
compelled to retire before his
time expires, by the claims
of the Republicans for the
office, Mr.. Wimbrough will re-
ccive the appointment, simply
because we believe that those
who do the work should re-
ceive the reward and not men
who are hard to distinguish as
members of any party and
who never declare their prin-
ciples until after the victory is
won. Any party that refuses
to reward its workers is bound
to go to pieces.
A FINANCIAL difficulty has
arisen which threatens to rem
der fruitless all the elaborate
work of design and computa-
tons which has occupied the
board of bureau chiefs of the
Navy department, to which
was referred for report the
proposals received for the con-
struction of the armored coast
defense vessel. for months
past. 1t springs from the APP
parent requirement of the act
ofCongrcss making the appro-
ration of Sc.ooo,ooo, that it
shall be the total cost of ma
val structures. Some months
ago bids were invited and pro
posals received for building a
submarine torpedo boat, the
cost of which was to be met
from this appropriation of Sa.-
100000. Up to the present
date no award OF contract has
yet been made. The lowest
suitable offer to build this craft
placed the cost at about $3.50
900. If the award should be
made at this figure there will
not be sufficient money re
naming according to the
closest calculations Of the
board) to build the armorcd
coast defense vessel. On the
other hand if the submarine
boat is abandoned and the
contract awarded to the bid
dcrs for the larger vessel. the
question would arise whether
such seton would not violate
the apparent intention of Con
gress to provide for more than
one naval structure. 1t has
been suggested as a means OF
escape from the dilemma that,
by close figuring, enough
money might be saved Overland
above the cost of the coast de
fcnse vessel to build a small
torpedo boat, and that the
submarine boat might be
abandoned. 1t is probable
that the board will not attempt
to solve this problem, who will
simply report the facts to
Secretary Tracy, who will re-
fer it for solution to the Judge

stolen from the place, and il was evident
that The robbery had been committed by ex-
pert burglars.
The firms store Is on the second floor OF

When the confederate unlocked the street
door and signalled that the coast was clear
they were ready to depart with their booty,

men have heard OF other robberies by the

Sunday afternoon rough-loOSiDg man
called al the house OF Judge TuthIll and de-
manded an explanation Of why the judge
had sentenced him to the peniteBtary two
wears before. Judge Tuthili, on looking at
bin closely, remembered him As man whom
he had sent TO Joliet for an attempt 10 XII
his employer. The man At the tine was sald
10 be an Anarchist. Judge TuthII quietly
sent for policeman, aud then sat down and
discussed the matter with the man, who APP
peared 10 be in anything but pleasant
mood. When the police arrived be was
taken 10 the station. Monday Judge Tuthill
went there and had long talk with him.
The man realized that he was wrong, aud
expressed deep penitenee for what he bad
done. Judge Tuthill learned that he Was
working steadily aud bad him discharged.
The story was not made public until yester-
day morning,
