the post Office department signs for
more heads to cut off, and as business
in this line is getting dull for want Of
fresh stock, he is going to commit po-
litical harikari and cut off his own head.
1t is said too, that our pious postmas-
ter general will not be mourners at
the funeral, as he had about become
convinced that the political part of this
world was not big enough to hold both
Clarkson and Wannamaker. The sig
nl6cance Of the transaction lies in the
fact that the Iowa editor, like the
Maine editor that was, is free lance
he learned it in the newspaper bust
ness-and Harrison wont know which
way. to look for Sunday, with one out
of the cabinet and the other in it, for
Clarkson has been, in everything but
name, the postmaster general. Indeed
it is inferred that it is his connection
with Clerk Wannamaker that has Civ
en- him such poor opinion of the civil
service. BOB.

obligation. A due regard to our sec
tional preservation, our territorial inter-
terests, demands the adoption of free
trade-commercial reciprocity with all
nations.
The east, as We have spread, has grown
dangerously rich by means Of a pro-
tective tariff, now let the west asser.
itself and use the means at its CON-
mand to change its economic policy to
one more conducive to sectional vel
fare.
This question is broader than party
lines. 1t is more vital than mere for
NAL political organizations, and more
essential than the dominance of any
particular set Of politicians, for it
touches our life and is indissolubly
interviewer with our existance.
Protection continued twenty years
longer and the west, with its vast agri-
cultural possibilities, would be pau
per bound hand and foot. Let us, who
live here in the west he fools no longer,
but let us exercise our common sense
and protect our own interests, by OBJ
tanning just as quickly as possible, the
freest trade with all its attendant bcn-
efts."

Carlysle for voting against the silver
bill. The following letter explaining
his position has been Received:
Hon. VIM. Smith, Mayfeld, KY,
Dear Sir.-Your favor of the 18th
instant just received. Every Demo
crat in the state voted against the sill
yer bill as it was finally amended and
reported to the conference committee
because VIC believed it was worse than
the existing law If the Farmers Al
lance Of Graves county believes tina.
this republican measure, which sub
stantially stops the coinage of silver
dollars after one year, is better than
the democratic law of 1873, they are
Of course entitled to their opinion, but
l do not agree with them.
When the original house bill was un-
der consideration in the senate l vot
ed to amend it so as to provide for the
free, unlimited coinage of silver dol
lars, and that amendment was adopted.
The House, however, refused to agree
to this amendment, and then a confer
ence committee was appointed, which
struck out free coinage entirely, and
this is the bill l voted against. Isend
you by maui ali three of the bills.

Mr.. Blaine has written another let
ter to Senator Frye on the reciprocity
matter, in mhich he raps the repubii-
can members of the hous
committee on Ways and Means, sharp
ly over the fingers, and tells what was
not before known, viz: that he stated
the whole question to them before the
Mckinley tariff bill was framed, and
urged them to adopt it in the bill which
they were preparing This letter of
Mr.. Blaines, while it has undoubtedly
made some new friends for reciprocity,
has also made it almost certain that
the members of that committee will
bitterly oppose it, should the senate
adopt it without notifications. Al
ready it has been proposed in the SEN
ate to except wool and hides in any
reciprocity agreement which may be
entered into with the Latin American
nations. That may prove to be the
solution of the question.

Secretary Blaine is generally com
mended for his conduct of the Behrinc
sea resolution, so far as shown in the
published letters; bu; there is some ug-
ly talk about some secret instructions
having been sent by Secretary Window
to the revenue cutters Bear. Rush, and
Corwin at Puget Sound, amounting
practically to backing down from
the position Mr.. Blaine has maintained
in his official correspondence, which ii
true would not reflect credi: on anyone
concerned. That Secretary Window
did send First Comptroller Matthews
to Puget sound with sealed messages
to the Revenue cutters, is known to be
true and that it was carefully kept
away from the newspapers, and was on
ly discovered by accident. is also known
to be true. The rest is conjecture.

The senate is meeting daily at IL o
clock, and that is about the only indi
dication Of any desire to hurry matters
at the north end of the Capitol; two
different attempts to have the tariff
bill taken up exclusively have been
voted down, and that measure comes
up only after the expiration Of the
morning hour. So far, the demo
Gratis have made all the speeches, not a
single republican senator having spo-
ken. This is puzzling the democrats
very much; but it is probable they are
holding off in Difference to MIR. Harri

he will send in in few days.

live in the mountain regions Of eastern
Galicia and Bukowinn, and in the border
mountains of Hungary. They are called
Huauls, and are II mixture of two tribes
which were driven out of Slavonia and
Mongolia 500 years ago.
They are Mt present about 10000 in mum
Der and live in small settlements, seldom
more than six or seven families in II settle
ment These settlements are called "stn
rostics, the "starost," or governor, being
always the oldest son of the founder of the
settlement and his direct descendants.
This governor has unlimited control of
the people, but he possesses no more lands
or nocks than any other man in the sta
rosty, as the fields and sheep which form
the wealth and are the pride Of the HUI
zul are the common property of the set
Element.
Although they have regular homes, they
make very little use of them as abiding
places. AS soon us the first signs Of spring,
Which they call the green time" appear
they are of, and for seven months wander
through themountains ns hunters or herds

brings them back to the settlement As
