a Democratic Postm aster' s'Free-And-Easy
Letter to The President.

A Democratic ster'sFree-And-Easy
Letter to The President.
Mt. CARMEL, ILL, June 7, 1889.
To Hon. B. HARRISON, President, &c.
BY the grace Of God and
Grover Cleveland | am postmaster at
Mt. Carmel My official term will
expire January 10th, 1890. In addi-
ton to editing the mails of this city,
l am also the editor of the Mt.
Carmel Register. a live, local, Demo
cratic newspaper, established in 1859,
and published at 81 IS a year, cash
in advance;a discount of 20 per cent.
to ministers and Presidents.
While the office has agreed with
me, and I have, in the main, agreed
with the Office, and while might
reasonably entertain the hope of hold
ing on for eight months longer, yet
I feel it my duty to tender to you my
resignation.
Being Democrat, l have preach
ed that 'to the victors belong the
spoils.
Your immediate predecessor hoped
to build up his party by keeping the
opposition in office. You are prob
ably aware, if you are at all familiar
with the vocabulary of true and trite
sayings, that his name is now Dennis.
I am moved further to tender you
my resignation because Of the anxiety
of barnyard full Of patriots to sue
coed me. I believe that tariff is a
tax. They do not. Therefore they
are of your own kith and kindred.
and he who provides not for his own
household is worse than an infdel.
l am told that you are not built that
way.
But to resume the thread of my
discourse The boys who are anx-
ious to be my successor are very
hungry; they have been feeding on
shucks and icicles for four long weary
years; the Official calf is fat. and they
yearn to taste its tender joints. They
fought (among themselves, bled TAT
the nose, and are willing to die for
the e. o. p. When | asserted that
you were the Chinaman' candidate,
and ate rat-tail soup with chopsticks,
they swore by Dudley and Foster
that it was campaign canard, and
threatened to detail blocks OF five to
fry the fat out of me. Fortunately
for me their threats were never car
ried into execution. They carried
torches, drank with the coons. sang
"Grandpa's hat will just fit Benny"
and did divers and many foolish
things, none of which would they
have been guilty of doing had they
not scented an aroma of postofhce
on the crisp morning air. And the
peans of praise which they sounded
when it became evident that you
chad got there, Eli" will never be a
Sahara in my memory.
For these and other reasons, un-
necessary to mention, l tender you
my resignation, with the hope that
my successor will be animated by a
similar spirit in 1898. If he is, your
Democratic success will be spared the
painful necessity of turning the ras-
cal out"
am respectfully yours,
FRANK w. HAv1LL, P. NJ.
N. B.-I would rather be right
than be postmaster.

application of the bolt makers for admis-

strike assessment measure suggested by
the American Federation of Trades

An amendment was also passed permit

body employed about the mills can now
be admitted, except common laborers.
This latter question was left to the dis

THE Board OF Trade took sensible
ground last night in its resolutions
touching the Federal building. The
HERALD's position on this has been i'm.
pregnable from the beginning. Let the
work go on. First, because the building
is greatly needed here for the accom-
modation of the Federal Offices. Secondly,
because the expenditure of the 500, ZOO
to be spent on the building will ma
terially help to tide over a very dull
summer. Thirdly, because the building
can be enlarged much more easily than
a new site can be bought and
new building begun. If need
be, the postoffice may remain where
it is for time; and if this is necessary,
next winter further appropriation may
be obtained to buy the additional ninety
feet on Main street, where wing for the
Postofice may be erected. Absolutely
there is no reason at this time for sus.
pending work on the building. The
Board of Trade is right.

THE AMERICAN DERBY.
CHICAGO, June 19.-The Washington
Park race meeting begins on Saturday,
and promises to be a most successful
one. Although the club has stable room
for nearly 800 horses, the pressure
for accommodations is 30 great that the
hasty construction of over hundred new
stables has been forced. The meeting
will extend over twenty-eix days, in the
course of which the club will give over
hundred thousand dollars in purses and
added money to stakes. The American
Derby on Saturday is of course the
great center of interest now. The
horses now considered likely to
start are, Spokane, Proctor Knott,
Sorrento, Once Again, Don Jose, Come
to-Taw, Salvador or Fresno, Kasson,
Banneret, Matalea, Outbound, Chandler,
Vidette, Retriever, Lepremier, Long
Dance, Teuton, and possibly one or
two others. Proctor Knott is here
and appears in good form. Hsggin's pair
Salvador and Fresno are at Sheepshead,
but one OF them is expected surely to
contest the Derby. Spokane is sure to
be posed favorite, but Sorrento will press
him close in the betting. Don Jose and
Proctor Knott are next in popular esti-
nation, and Salvador will be a prime
| favorite, if he comes.

A Runaway Train.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., June ia col
lision occurred near here, this morning,
between a runaway engine and passen.

gage'master were severely injured. The
collision wrecked the engines and bag

chine because of bad coal. 1t would not
make steam. The brakes were applied,
but the speed increased on the heavy
down grade. Campbell, the fireman,
jumped, and was dying when picked up.
