A Lucky Postma ster.

Fourth-clgss postmasterships are not as
rule very desirable. Nobody ever heard Of
the occupant of one of these offices getting
rich from the income of the Office, or from
the chances it presented for making money
There is one fourth-clsss postmaster, how
ever, who is envied by good many thou
sands Of people, and who, if be have good
business sense, will be millionaire in a
| year or two. The chance he has for making
| big fortune comes to him through his
| office.
His name is Dennis T. Flynn. He is O
young Irishman of Buffalo, N. Y. A few
weeks ago Congressman Peters, of Kansas,
had him appointed postmaster at Guthrie,
Oklahoma. He is the first settler in the
new territory, nobody else being permitted
to enter il until April % AS yet Guthrie
exists only in name, but there are several
thousands of people on the borders of
Kansas. Missouri and Arkansas waiting for
chance to get there and build town.
Mr.. Flynn can enter a quarter section of
land and locate the postoffice upon it. and
there is no doubt town will be built around
the postoffice building. He can divide his
100 acres into lots. He will have no trouble
to sell them. Guthrie will have a boom
from the start. and lots within its limits
will bring fabulous prices.
Mr.. Flynn will be ready to resign his
office in all probability within year. and
retire from business with an ample fortune
All things considered he has about the most
desirable Office in the gift of the President
He will have to be on the watch for stray
bullets, however. There will be lively
times i'll Guthrie. The revolver is pretty
certain to play a very important part in its
affairs for few months. Mr.. Flynn has
had little experience on the border, how
ever, and will probably make it point to
keep out of the way of bullets Such a
chance as he has to get rich quickly seldom
comes to a man more than once III life
time

Col. Dudley's Scheme.


The story that Col Dudley and number
of southern republican lawyers are engaged
4 in drafting a bill to be introduced into con
gress at its next session, giving that body
! the power to fix the limits of congressiona
districts and to place the control of con
gressional elections in the federal court!
may have some foundation, but there il
good reason to doubt that it has. Col
Dudley went TO Tennessee to q I'D out what
had become Of a pretty big sum of money
that the national republican com
mittee sent to the republican leaders
of that state last fall. and while there he
may have suggested that it would be good
thing for the republican party in the south
to give congress the power to fix the limits
of congressional districts, and to the federal
courts authority to supervise congressional
elections, but it is extremely doubtful if he
or anybody else is drafting a bill having
those objects in view
Senator Sherman introduced into the last
congress bill to place congressional cleo
lions under federal control, but he was not
bold enough to put into the bill provision
giving congress authority to define the lines
of congressional districts There is not
much probability that Senator Sherman can
get the present congress to pass his bill, and
it is safe to say that it would be about i'm
possible to get favorable action upon a
bill such as Col. Dudley is said to be pre-
pairing.
There is not congressman that does not
know that there could not be more PERM
cious legislation than a bill of that kind.
The majority party in congress would do
what the majority party in state legisla-
lures freque emily do. 1t would devote a
great deal Of time to fixing the congressional
districts so as to prolong its lease of power.
The consequence would be that the inter
ests of the country would receive
very little attention while the contests
between political parties would increase in
number, and in bitterness. OF course one
party would not remain in the majority
many years, however great the efforts
might be to keep it there When the minority
party became the majority party the whole
country would be redistricted again, aud
the desire for party success and for rstaiia-
ton would bring about a deplorable con
dition of affairs.
Senator Shermans bill may be introduced
again, and q strong effort may be made to
pass it, but there is not much reason to fear
that such n bill as it is understood Col
Dudley proposes will ever become law.
The republican leaders are willing to agree
to almost any kind OF legislation that
promises to advance the fortunes of their
party, but they are not likely to favor
legislation of boomer ang kind.

The President Looking Ahead.

The impression is steadily growing that
President Harrison is working for renom-
inaton. 1t may be a mistaken one, but
there are some things which seem to SUD
port it, One Of them is that the appoint
ments thus far made Indicate that the Pres
iGent is following a definite plan in filling
the Offices. In the first place, young men.
or comparatively young men are appointed.
Young men throw off the yoke of the old
leaders much more readily than old men.
The men who are getting the Offices are ex-
pected to quickly forget Blaine aud Sher-
man.
In the second place it is noticeable that
the men who are for Blaine and Sherman
first. last and all the time are not getting
offices, but those who are quick TO shout for
the rising man are receiving many favors.
1t is matter Of remark that neither
Blaine's nor Sherman's friends have reason
to feel thankful for what they have received
from this administration. They have
begged for favors but the most of them
have been sent away empty handed. In
stances ara mentioned in which Blaine's
particular requests in behalf of some of his
friends have been denied.
1t seems that the President has no ad =
visers outside of his cabinet. He depends
upon his own judgment. The kitchen cab
met is unknown under this administra-
ton
Those who are acquai nted with the men,
either personally or by reputation, who
have thus far been app inted, say that all
of them can be depended upon to support
the President for denomination. The rea-
son more appointments have not been made
in the south is said to be that a careful in
quiry is being conducted for men who can
be- depended upon to get Harrison delega-
tons for the next national convention of
the party.

The English yachtmen are not yet salts
fled that the yachts built in this country
are superior to those built anywhere else in
the world. Their yachts have been beaten
so often, however, by those of this country
that they ought to be satisfied.
The contest for the Americas cup this
year promises to be an interesting aud ex-
citing one. Lord Dunraven, who is the
challenging party, is having constructed a
yacht which he firmly believes will beat
anything in this country. She is called the
Valkyrie, aud her designer has spent
great deal OF time upon her.
There is a suspicion that he has adopted
the American center board, but there is no
reliable information on the subject obtain
able. The English yachtmen have always
condemned the center board, but 1t begins
to look as if they would have to adopt it
finally. OF course they will not adopt it,
or modification of 1t, without admitting
they have done so. If they should. their
course wouldn't be altogether honorable,
and il is not probable that they will do any
thing that is not honorable.
1t is not yet known what yacht will be
selected to defend the cup. 1t is expected
that the Volunteer will be chosen. There
is hardly time to build new vessel, and
besides, the chances are rather against than
in favor of a new boat being swifter than
the Volunteer.
The English yacht is not yet completed
but will be soon. She will reach New York
some time during the summer. The strug-
gle for the cup will probably take place in
September, as that appears to be the favor
ito month for such contests.

Asoy's Logical Argument.

The Up River News givas the following rem,
iuiscence of an Incident In an Oldtown Iyceum
forty years ago, TO which all the doctors, law
yers and ministers of the town belonged. One
evening capital punishment was the question
being discussed, and called out the best forces
on both sides. During the evening a young
boy, who had been a constant member, replied
to Deacon Rigby upon this question. The dea-
con vas for hanging. The boy opposed. Said
the deacon, quoting from the Mosaic law:
Whose sheddeth mans blood by man shall
his blood be shed" Thinking this to be a
bombshell to his opponents, he dwet upon it
till his time expired, when the boy sprang to
his feet and said:
Surprising we take the law which the gen
tleman has quoted, and which in philosophical
sense, has aOrogated as null and void since the
birth of our Saviour, and see what the logical
deduction would come to- For example, one
man kills another, another man kills him and

Who's going to kill him? He dare not suicide, for

A Book Buyer Who Was Watched.
From the Chicago Mems.


The other afternoon a very modest looking
gentleman sauntered into McClurg's book store
and began looking at the treasures in the En-
gliSh corner. MIR. Willard eyed the stranger
with suspicion. for the reason that not very
long ago understanding gentleman pocketed
several treasures and made off with them. But
Mr. Willard was not long in discovering that the
quiet stranger knew somewhat of books. for he
talked very intelligentiy Of the best editions
Mr. Willard began, in fact to feel sorry for the
man. Here thought he, lis a gentleman

But the stranger would not be steered worth

costliest treasures. Il am sorry that you have

Out of a Job.

Mr.. McAllister is no longer manager OF
the centennial ball and banquet His enc
mics nade his position so uncomfortable
for him that he resigned. He declares that
the thought that he is no longer to be wor-
ried and annoyed by the centennial business
makes him happy. The probability is,
however, that The thought that he is not to
be the chief figure in the chief centennial
event makes him angry.
Ever since the entertainment committee
was appointed there has been a good deal
of illfeeling between its members. There
is some ground for thinking that some of
them want to get more than their share of
glory out Of the celebration. MIR. McA)lis-
ter says that MIR. Fish, the chairman
of the committee, wanted to
dance in the quadrille opposite to Presi-
dent Harrison, and when Mr.. McAllister
would not consent to this, because he
thought Mr.. Fish was unfit for such
delicate social position, Mr.. Fish became
his enemy and sought TO have him removed
from his position as manager. When the
President declined to dance Mr.. Fish, so
Mr.. McAllister says, lost his temper COM
pletely. and charged the Presidents refusal
to Mr.. McAllister's bad management.
Mr.. Gerry, another member of the COM
mittee, is an enemy of Mr.. McAlister, for
the reason, Mr.. McAllister says, that M.
McAllister objected to his presiding at the
banquet Mr. McAllister insisted that the
mayor of New York should preside, and he
was sustained by the other members of the
committed
OF course there is another side of the
story and Mr.. Fish tells it. He says that
Mr.. McAllster convinced the COMMITTEES
that he was incompetent, and that mis- re-
moval was matter of necessity He says
also that while Mr.. McAllister might man
age admirably ball for 400, he lost his
bearings entirely when he undertook to
manage ball at which 5000 will be pres
ent and which will cost 100000.
Doubtless there is some truth in the stories
of both sides. Mr. McAllister lacked the
tact of diplomatist. He should have per-
mitted Mr. Fish to dance wherever he want
ed to, and he should have seconded Mr..
Gerry's ambition to get the place at the
head of the banquet table-that is, if he
were really anxious to be permitted to con-
tinue in the position of manager.
1t is amusing to notice the struggle for
place and precedence. Doubtless some of
the New York ladies have not been able to
sleep since the ball was suggested. They
have been hunting up their pedigrees and
endea yoring to establish their right to dance
in the quadrille with those who are de-
scended from distinguished families of the
period of the revolution. There will be
doubtless good many little quarrels and
many heart burnings before the centennial
celebration is over.

Dick Wintersmith's Tribute to Gen
Lea.
From the Washinoton Post.

From the Washington Post.
On the occasion of Gen Robert E. Lees birth
day recently several eX confederate soldiers and
their friends met and commemorated the day
in dinner at Solars in this city. After the
several courses had been served with the usuai
interludes Of wine, the champagne corks began
to pop in earnest and good cheer went around
the board OF course the toast to him in whose
name they we're assembled was reserved until
the last and was expected to be drunk in the
eloquence of silence. First George Washing
tons name was proposed and several warm
tributes of words were paid to his dear memory
before the glasses filled in his glorious name
were empted. Then others and others we're
proposed and eulogized, and wine was drunk to
their health or memory. as each case suggested
OF course 80 many toasts-the greater number
of them to the living-coud not be drunk with
out making some impression on the spirits OF
the auic FLOODED southrons. Nobody was in
toxicated, but there was buoyancy enough TO
float balloon when--all was as silent as the
tomb of him whose loved and honored name
had been spoken.
Robert E Lee 4.
Every man stood, his head bowed, his
thoughts upon that earnest soldier who had
wept TO see tho war begun and bled TO see il
ended. II seemed a sacrilege TO speak, to break
the silent spell that name had cast upon those
followers and lovers of the dead. But

In his heart each man among them wished no

every one strove to stop this interruption Of
the sweet, expressive silence.
