Because the Postmaster Was a Negro,
Who Says He VIII Stick.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, Sept 3.-The post
office building at Lawrence, Ala, was
burned Sunday night, supposedly by white
citizens, who were indignant at the appoint
ment of colored postmaster Henry Gomez,
a coal black negro, who had taken a promi-
inent part in politics for several years, a
short time ago was appointed postmaster by
President Harrison The selection of Gomez
was very offensive because there are only a
few negroes in the place, and the whites both
Republicans and Democrats, objected to
having a negro in charge of the office
Threats have been made that Gomez should
never act as postmaster and numerous petit
lions and circumstances have been sent TO
the president, but without avail The gov
eminent owns no building at Lawrence, and
different postmasters have, therefore, been
allowed $500 yearly as rental.
They Try Incendiarism.
Gomez had considerable trouble in renting
a building, but on Saturday succeeded in
renting an unoccupied store on lower Main
street, and intended to take possession Mon
day and move the postoffice there at once
Sunday night at 10 o'clock the building was
discovered to be on fire, and soon burned to
the ground Ii is thought the building was
fired by some of the whites who have opposed
Gomez. Other owners are afraid to rent
their buildings to the negro, fearing they
will be burned There is strong probable
ity that Gomez will be driven out of town if
he persists in trying ia officiate as postmas-
ter. Gomez says he will not relinquish his
office, and that he has assurances from
Washington that the postoffice will be closed
and citizens compelled to get their mail else
where if he is not allowed to perform his
duties

Discrimination Among the Irish Leader
Comment on the Scheme

Dissatisfaction Among the Irish Leaders
Comment on the Scheme.
LONDON, Sept. 3 -Considerable dissatls-
faction has been developed within the past
few days in the ranks of the Irish party
over Parnell's compact with Balfour by
virtue of which Ireland is to secure the en-
dowment of a Roman Catholic university.
Although nothing is positively known of the
consideration which Balfuur was promised
in return for this concession, Irishman be-
heve that the Tory chief secretary is not in
huenced by purely disinterested motives.
Michael Davitt writes to The Pail Mall
Gazette denouncing "the abandonment of a
single plank of the home rule platform for a
mess of Catholic university pottage." He
declares that the stand taken upon this cues
ton, together with the vote of the Irish
members on the royal grants, forms a very
sorry exhibition of parliamentary oppor-
tunism
Chamberlain's Advice.
Joseph Chamberlain, in a speech at a meet
ing of his constituents in Birmingham last
evening, referred to Balfour's proposal TO
establish "A Roman Catholic university in
Ireland, and said he would advise the gov
eminent before introducing its Irish land
bill TO bring in resolution declaring that
Ireland, equally with England and Scotland,
was entitled to denomnational endowment
for education.
