Colored Men and the fices,

Ex-Con ressman John R. Lynch, of Mis-
sissippi, has come to the conclusion that it
is not the Presidents intention TO ig lore
colored men in filing the offices IN the
south. He says that every colored man he
has recommended for a fou th-class post
mastership has been appointed, an he has
no doubt that he will get colored men
appointed to other offices.
Doubtless few colored men will be ap-
pointed postmasters in localities where
nearly all the people are colore /, but the
indie ations are that there will bs very few,
if a y, colored men appointed t. tue better
class Of offices
Ex-Gov. Warm th, of Louisiana, a few DAYS
ago urged the Presidelt to appoint two or
three colored men to good offices in that
state on the grou that it vo lid help the
Rep lblican party there, but he did not
meet with mlcn encouragement. The
President seems determined to adhere to
what is alleged to be his plan of appoint.
ing only white lnen 10 offices IN the south
with the hope of building up white r.
publican party.
Ex-CongreSs nan L ynch says that the
President is deceived if he believes that
there Is any int ntion on the part of white
repubi"an leaders n the south to build up
strong white Republican party. He saws
the object # these W ite republicans in the
south, who want to form party independ-
ent Of the colored people, is to get the
ff1ces. They want to shut he co ored men
out of the Offices so there will be more for
themselves. TIE ex-coneres nan my be
right in his co clu'ions. 1t my be safely
said, however, that whether the white men
are givea all thu off 'es or not thu pr )spe,t
for strong Republican party in the uta
in the near lure is not at all pr missing.

He Won Her with a Shotgun.

"Al's well that ends welly' is the exclama-
tion / which the worthy country peo lie who
crowded the Cher aSsize court yesterday would
doubtless have INDUCED had they studied in
the vernacular the productions Of the immortal
Bard of A on, says the Paris correspondent of
the London Telegraph.
The prisoner was a young mau-Benoni by
name-w o unable to melt the heart of fas-
cinating maiden, Sy.vine Gaudio the pride of
their little village, by repeated offers of mar
Etage, one day revenged himself on this coy
beauty by firing on her with gun which ne
had borrowed from an obighg friend.
PJste behind hedge, Benoni took aim at
the girl as she was waud5ring down d rustic
lane fancy free" Fortunately, however, ne
missed ner. but, curious to rel tie, the shot took
effect in a very ditfere manner, and from that
hour the fair Sylvine relenued.
On his return home BenOni was seized with
an lln SIS which kept him for two full months
between life and death. When, however, ne
began to recover, the first pers IN wHom he saw
at his bedside was tle object of his fla ne, who
had called repeate lily, ald not ony forga e
him freely, but promised him her hand on the
sole conditio tnat he should be acquitted at
til trial. Sylvne pleaded so warmly for her
lover in court that the jury vnen waxed lenient,
and she and Benoni are to be united at no dis.
tant date in the bonds of wedlock.

Tanners Pension Policy.

Commissioner Tanners liberal pension
policy is bearing fruit. 1t is stated that the
number OF a-plica ions for pensions has
been very greatly increased since he took
charge of the pension bureau, although it
was not necessary to stimulate applications.
For the fiscal year of 1888 more tha1 &C, 900
new names were added to the pensio rolls,
and an increase of pensions was granted in
As, 900 cases. The total amount paid to
pensioners that year was $82, ,000, 900, an
amount which, by the way, exceeds that
paid on account of pensions by all the other
countries Of the world combined.
Although this burden is a very heavy
one, the people are quite willing to ear it
SO long as the pension oils contain only the
names of people who are fairly entitled to
aid of this kind but when by policy more
prodigal than liberal the burden is reason
ably certain to be greatly increased by the
recognition of thousands of fraudulent
claims, it is time to call a halt. With dis
eliminating officials in the pension bureau it
would be difficult to weed out the fraud
ulent claims, but when the President
announces that the services of applicants
must not be weighed in apothecary's scales,
and when Commissioner Tanner boasts that
in a few years the pension burden will be
much greater than it is, the officials will
not make much Of an effort to test the va
iidity of claims. T.,is policy would be un
just not only to the people, but to the de-
.erving veterans 1t would preveI the
pension list from being roll Of honor.
Under Presi lent Cleyeland's administra-
ton the pension bureau was run in the in
terests of the de serving vetera s, but under
PI esdent Harriso Is the intention seems
to be to run it in the interests of the Repub-
can party. Much of the peoples money
will be paid out in order that political cap
ital may be male. This will be uni ust and
unpatriotic. The pension business should
be kept out of politics.

Relig Gus Frenzy in Richmond.
From the Ne,o Yort Sun.

From the Neio YOrt Sun.
RICHMOND, May 3.--Never in the history of
Richmond has such trem ndous religious up
heavaI been known as exists at present among
the negroes Hundreds of them are daily pro-
fessin< conversion on the StrAet ami go about
stopping every one thev meet aud singi " in
their strange way their experiences, which in
variably are in refer nee to talks tney have had
with spirits from heaven. 1t is no uncommon
thing to see one negro standing in a group sud
denly strike MS breast and declare thai he is
converted, ami 20 on to ma rate the v.siols that
came to him at that precise nome It. This
morning John Mann, a negro, was before le
polio court on the charge OF being drunk last
night, a policeman teStffying that he was so
drunk that he could not walk. The ne ,ro was
represented by Giles Jackson, a colorei lawyer,
who would not argue the case but asked his
client to tell all about il. Man then said:
Justice, if was drunk last night was
drunk in the spirit; my heart was filed with the
new wine.N
Justice Crutchheld-You mean that you was
full of that old stuff that knocks fellow silly
The PriSoner-No, sir; my heart was filed
with that II W ne-the blood of our Savior
that washes away the sins of the world. The
spirit of the Lord struck me last night and he
they repent and receive the spirit in their hearts
they will be lost.
The Justice-The bad spirits that are sold
about here must have struck yousmighty hard
last night. The officer says he snnelt it on your
breath
The Prisoner-No. si-: il was not that kind,
Out IL was tue spirit OF J0e ttOly GnOs 81, winch
gave me a new life and strength enough TO say:
"Give way, satan. and let me come by"
The Justice How many drinks did you takey
The officer says that you couldn't walk
The rrlsoner-I did not partako of that earthly
stuff, but the spirit Of the Lord entered my
evui.
Tne Justice-Mr. jackson, do you desire to
say anythins2
MIR. .lackson-May it please your honor I
think that all that Is recessary to be done is to
sing the doxology aud be dismissed.
This created great outburst Of laughter, and
II was some moments before the usual quiet
was resto ed. The fact is that the negro was
undoubtedly drunk last night, but during his
incarceration he had suddenly become infused
with the peculiar frenzy known to the race as
conversion. The police justice therefore decided
not TO interfere with the religious move and dis
charged the prisoner

a Narrow View

The Philad lpaia Press is not surprised
that there was such a rush of people to
Oklahoma, and that better lands in the
south, open to settle nent, were ignored.
/ The Press has hit upon the solution of this
rather remarkable circum 'tance without
| the eas, trou le. 1t is really delightful to
see how easily and how quickly it gets at
the root of the matter-that is, in its own
estimation
| The Press says that immigrants, whether
| they migrate from Europe or from the
northern states, wa t to exercise their own
| political judgment, and to act with freedom
from political restraint; that in the south
they can OF do these things, except at the
risk Of their lives. aud that, ther fore, they
prefer poor lands in Oklahoma to rich ones
in the south.
| This sounds as if a political campaign
were on. AS a general thing, the Press is
tole ably truthful and fair in speaking of
the south between elections, but when a
political campaign becomes heated, Mr..
Baire's Philadelphia organ cannot speak
Of the south with any degree of justice or
| correctness. Nothing is to be gained by
airing ieSe ola campaign yarns now why
| not put them away until 1922
Is tie Press afraid that t e south's pcpu
| lation will increase too rapidly for the com
fort of the esteemed repuolicans' Is it
afraid there will be few more southern
brigadiers" in congress after the next
nsu' is takena 1t sometimes speaks en-
couragingly of the rapid industrial growth
of the south. II the south is growing
rapidly i an du tri / way, it must be
good field for i'm migrants, and il it is II
good field for than, why does the Press

when the voice OF the Rev. DR..
Scott, N g. Harrison's father, failed, and
that gentleman had to abandon the nulpit,
he thought it would be very nice to hold a
public office. At that time President Ha'-

wrote TO Senator H ,rrison, W 10 refused to
try to get an Office for him, but who offered
to help him pecuniarily. About this time
