A CITIZENS OPINION.

ED. NEWS: In looking over the new.
columns of the Westphalia Times, to-
day, l noticed a little item of news to
the effect that A. E. MaschO paid $25 for
the Greeley postoffice, and that his wife
had said go. She may, and she may not,
have said so, but others have. The
writer heard David Matheny, brother
in-law of Mascho, tell this same thing in
Westphalia, where number of men
were talking; and Furthermore, he said
euch payment could be proven. Thus
the choice of majority of the PATRONS
of the office was set at naught by the
payment of $25 to someone in the ring
that has been running the affairs of the
nation for the amount of Doodle in it.
1t matters not to whom this money was
paid, or for what purpose it was paid
aside from procuring the postoffice, it
was corrupt transaction. 1t Was
simply and plainly bribery. Had we a
clean administration and the laws en-
forced as they should-making this real
" government of the people, for the
people, by the people, and not of cor
rupt party cliques, Mr.. Mascho would
be removed from the Office, and might
feel glad if he was not afterwards given
position in vastly different kind of
public institution, where he would have
leisure to cogitate oyer the uncertainty
of earthly things, especially political
affairs.
The Greeley office is not the only
office for which there is evidence in ex-
istence money was paid.
We have certainly fallen upon evil,
yea, perilous, times when the federal Of
fees are auctioneered off to the men
who will pay cold cash for them. But
we need not wonder much when pro-
Tossing christians will be found bowling
in the wake of leader who says:
"Purity in politics lie an ilidesce mt
dream" FORMERLY REPUBLICAN.

Woman's chronicle. (Little Rock, Ark.) 1888-1???, 1890-01-04
Female Government.

There is town in Kansas that during the last
years has been governed by women One of our
dallles heads an account of it by SAYING: IA
sleepy, decaying hamlet on the Western praires is
infused with new life under female government.
lhe women have stopped tobacco chewing on the
streets, make boys stay at home nights, and have
inaugurated other reforms" That is pretty
good recommendation surely. The women seem
to do pretty well whenever they get their hands
upon any portion Of the government Where thew
participate in school elections the character of the
school boards is higher. We have no intention
here of advocating women suffrage, but the men
can learn vast deal from their mothers and wives.
that would be of great benefit to the government,
If they had a mind to- A woman is naturally
honest. She means to do what is right under all
circumstances and as matter of fact she usually
reaches the right conclusions. Having taken her
stand she will stand there. You cannot move her
by suggesting policy; you cannot move her by at
tempting to bride her. She is there for keeps, and
to all expostuations or entreaties she replies:
"My position is right" She don't believe in
chewing tobacco and you cannot make her believe
in it, but as many men will chew tobacco, we are
not surprised that the lady officials of this West
ern town decided that they would do the next best
thng-stop the squirting Of tobacco juice all over
the town, and there have been official acts in the
history of the world that were much further away
from clear cut right and justice than that. Woman
does not believe in getting drunk and you might
snow her under mountain of votes and still she
would not believe in il. t
Now it is probable that the average thinks
upon most questions just about as the women do,
but the average man, if he is politically inclined,
has not the courage to stand by his convictions
and the woman has. The rum seller comes to the
male aspirant to or occupant of an Office and tells
him if he does not do thus and so he will throw
the whole rum vote against him, and Immediately
the man capituates with the declaration that if he
can have the votes he will do anything that is
wanted of him. AS soon as the rum seller shows
his fist the man is like the coon that the man aimed
gun at in the fable; he screams, ''Dont shoot,
| will come down" But a rum sellers threat or
anybody else's threat would have about as much
effect on woman as water would on ducks
back. When she will she will, and when she won't
she won't. She is no demagogue. You cannot
possibly make demagogue out of her, and if we
could only keep demagogism out of offices, this
country would be very much better off. We COM
mend the example of the female officers of the
Western town to the official Of the male gender

The Power of the Imagination.

We learn from the New Orleans Picayune that
DR.. Durand, wishing to test the practical effect of
mind disease, gave hundred patients dose of
sweetened water. Fifteen minutes after, entering
apparently in great excitement, he announced that
he had by mistake given powerful emetc, and
preparations must be made accordingly. Eighty
out of the hundred patients became thoroughly
ill, and exhibited the usual result of an emetic.
Twenty were unaffected. The curious part of it
is that, with very few exceptions, the eighty
''emetized" subjects were men, while the strong
minded few who were not to be caught with chaff
were women.

fire and had to be abandoned when eight hundred
miles northeast of the Seychelle Islands, Indian
Ocean. The people took to the boats and made
for Seychele Islands. The third day after leaving
the vessel cyclone came up, and no one believed
that the boats would live through it. Before they
left the ship the boats had been supplied with oil
for just such an emergency. Each boat got out
drag made of spars and oars ashed together for
what is known as a sea-anchor Oakum saturated
with paraffne was stuffed in long stockings hung
over the bows of the boat. Before the oil was
used the boats had been several times nearly filed
with water and the occupants had to bail for their
lives; but when oil was applied no further trouble
was experienced An oil-slck formed around the
boats, which rode in perfect safety on tremendous
swells, took the place of the previously breaking
seas. Little If any water came over the sides Of
the boats, and the occupants could lie down and
sleep. The boats eventually reached The island,

NAVAL ENGINEERS.
No More Reductions I'm the Corps at Present
bill for Its Reorganization.

No More Reductions I'm the Corps at Present
---Biil for Its Reorganization.
There was great rejoicing and jubilation to.
day among the naval engineers on duty in thin
city on account Of the passage by the Senate
yesterday of the bill to discontinue the reduc-
ton of the engineer corps, which has bean 60
ing on for considerable time past.
The bill was passed a. first step toward the
re-establishment of the corps upon basis
suited to modern conditions and the increase
of the navy, bill for which is now being con-
sidered by the Senate naval committee. The
former measure Was adopted to prevent the
constant reduction Of the force, 90
that the increase, when II comes
need not be 40 large. The present force is en-
tirely inadequate 70 the needs Of the increasing
navy, especially in view of the rapid transition
from sail to steam power and the transforma-
ton Of the entire naval system from the old
form of sailordom to the new type Of science.
There are now about 1856 officers in the corps,
and under the present plan OF reduction but
one officer is promoted for every two vacancies.
1t is estimated that were there urgent need
there are not now enough skilled engineers in
the navy accustomed to the new forms
OF motive power and the COM
plicated machinery that fills the modern man.
of-war to properly equip all Of the lighting
vessels that are now ready for service. II Is
further estimated that the present ships and
those building and provided for require force
of over 800. this being the number fixed by the
bill that is pending.
