rhe Green Gard In the maIl Boz.

There is little green card in use by
the postofice department that is terror
to careless letter carriers. 1t is terror
only when they have once been caught.
Very seldom, indeed, are they caught
the second time. This card is dropped
in a letter box, and ON it is marked the
time it was put in and also the time it
should be taken out by the carrier. A
record is kept by the chief of the carriers,
and if that little card does not turn up
with the other mail with which it is due
it Is clearly to be seen that the carrier
has not taken the mail from that partic-
ular box.
The object, of course, is to test the
reliability of the carriers. Where there
is any complaint on the part of citizens
about the tardiness of local mails, then
a little green card is dropped in one or
more boxes in the district from which
the complaint comes. Sometimes it
shows carelessness on the part of the
carrier and sometimes it does not. 1t is,
however, not necessary that there should
be complaints, for frequently the cards
are put in the boxes of the most efficient
men. OF course they are happy when
they discover them. But where box is
missed in which there is a green card.
then the carrier is bound to get into
trouble, and very serious trouble at that.

REPUBLICAN, DEsP0TIsM

The readers OF the Gazette have not
forgotten an attempt made. Just after
the late election, by Russell IL Co., a
republican manufacturing firm at Mas
siliou, Ohio, TO Introduce new form
of slavery into that state, particulars OF
which were printed in this paper at the
time.
Since then a new and interesting
chapter has been added to the history
OF the attempt. 1t appears that 80
great was the Indignation which the
course of the firm, Russell IL Co cx-
cited that at mass meeting OF citizens
the motion was made and carried I"
appoint a committee TO investigate the
circumstances. The committee was
composed OF some of the most pr0mi-
nenI and respected citizens OF the place.
They made Il careful and thorough
inquiry into the charges against Russell
Il Co., and have just unanimously
reported their conclusions.
They find that all the allegations are
substantially true; that for years il has
been the practice OF the firm to employ
but republicans in the capacity of fore
men, or in positions which gave the
incumbents authority over the work
men; that during the late campaign
and during many campaigns pre-
vious thereto, these republican fore
men electioneered in all parts of the
shop and at all hours OF the day in
behalf of the candidates of the republi.
can party; that bulletin boards were
set mp and placarded with dennnciations
of the democratic party and its princi-
piles; that when republican meetings
were held the foreman significantly
admonished the democratic workmel
that it would be TO their interest tC
attend them; that it was a frequent
thing for the foremen 10 assemble thu
men and advise them how to vote: tina
n day or two after the recent election
thirty or forty OF the workmen who hat
voted against Ma lor Mckinley wer'
notified that their wages were to be cu
down one third, anu that many OF thos
thus notified had been in the employ O
the firm from ten to tw entY. years
These proofs of the despotism sougn
to be established by the Massilon firu
make their own comment. AVarlc
and partisanship were never mated 10
baser purpose. Surely all homes

and honor self respect IN others, a

Russell Il Co. would sink the souls c
their workmen is not less repugnant

JUSTICE MILLER ON PROTECTION,

The death OF Justice Miller, OF the
United States supreme court, who was
.he last surviving Justice appointed by
Lincoln, recalls the famous decision OF
that eminent jurist in the so-called To-
peka case, which involved the right of
the CITY to levy taxes to foster manu-
factures. This is the heart OF the "pro-
lection principle and here ID what
Justice Miller thought of that "princi-
ple:"
s'To lay with one hand the power
of the government on the property Ol
the citizen, and with the other to be-
stow it upon favored individuals to aid
private eDterurises and build up pri-
yate fortunes, is none the less robbery
because it is done under the forms oi
law and is called IL taxation. This is
not legislation. 1t is a decree under
legislative forms Nor ia it taxation

HOME MADE BASKETS.

There is a way to make good bas-

out OF corn husks-thick outer husks for
strong baskets, and tor lighter aud

must be wrapped for one hour or SO In

of equal width. Make an ordinary
braid with six or more strips. which
may be doubled, or even trebled, for
greater strength, says the Detroit Free
Press. Thread needle with heavy,
waxed linen thread, aud having dam
pened the braid, form it into an oval,
five or six inches long and three wide,
for the bottom of the basket, and sew
the adjoining edges of the braid togeth-
er as in straw hat, but don't overlap
them. Go on coiliDg and stitching for
the sides of the basket, widening the
opening until the basket is deep enough.
The handles are made of a heavy.
three stranded braid, which Is sc we'd all

For ornament wind the handles with

TREATMENT OF DIPHTHERIA.
From the Post-DlsDatch,

Last nights meeting of the St. Louis
Medical Society was largely attended
DIR. Love read paper on "Diet i'll
Diphtheria." He stated that In the
treatment of diphtheria diet was a
prominent feature. AS food milk
was first and foremost in its excellency
Rare beef and mutton were also good,
but veal and lamb should not be given.
Fruits were sometimes very good, but
should always be served cooked
Apples were good occasionally, and
nice sweet pears were even better. An
orange was also palatable to a sick
child, and if ripe and fresh was not in
he least harmful. Lemonade refresh
ed the little sufferers greatly, and
should be given in moderation. In
vegetables potatoes baked or steamed
we're excellent and nutritious food, and
should always be cooked with THEN
ekims on. Cauliflower, spinach, the
nds of asparagus, cereals, light corn
starch pudding and milk and eggs
made into custards were also recon
mended by DIR. LoYc. In the way "i
drinks the paper recommended malts

JAY GOULD Is THE BOSS.
From the New York Sun. ]

A gray-haired and mechanical old
accountant Of the Chemical Bank
remarked yesterday that nothing was
more amusing to veteran and dispas-
sionate observer of Wall street that the
manner in which the so-called "great"
financial men OF the world disappeared
from view when Mr.. Gould decided TO
come back to the street. t'Wall street
kings" he said, &" have been ss numer-
GUS rs huckleberries in the Blue Ridge
Mountains ever since Jay Gould built
his yacht and retired from the street.
They posed in cafes and clubs, aud
their names. theories and intentions
were discussed with profound solem-
nifty ty the sblest financial writers In the
country. Yet Mr.. Gould had not been
two days In the field before every one
of them was on the run, and their
names, even now, are little more mem
ories. This has been the history Of the
fluctuations of the street during the
past twenty years., and it Ia noticed
that the only men whose security
seems unshakable are those who act
in conjunction with Mr.. Gould
Russell Sage is an admirs BILE type o
the few rich men who recognized the
Gould gesius and placed himself vol
unfairly under it's guidance years ago
The result Is that he has nothing I,

tide because Mr.. Gould controls it,
