The new Anti-Lottery law seems
to be . very uncertain thing, diff
cult to understand and liable to be
suspended BY the Postmaster o.
other postal authorities whenever
they see fit. We have already
called attention to the discrimina-
ton that has been shown in the en-
forcement Of this Law, and that
while it Was rigidly and severely
carried out in the South, the papers
seized and stopped and their man
ayers arrested, when violated in the
North the usual procedure Is to no
tify the manager that he II breaking
the law aud request him please not
to do SO any more.
Another instance Of this discrim-
ination has just been shown. A
number Of newspapers and mer-
chants who have been violating the
law for some time past have ap-
pealed to Postmaster Wanamaker
for permits to continue their viola
tons, and their request has been
granted, and they have been told
that they can keep up their guess
ing and voting contests for the time
being by special permission.
It will be seen from this that the
Federal authorities reserve the
right to either enforce the law or !
suspend it, - they see fit. Il k
not necessary to point oat what ex-
'raordinary powers the Law, thus |
Interpreted, gives the Postmaster
General. He has the right to in
erpret it rs he chooses, and he can
asily torture this % ~ to give The
republicans absolute control Of the
nails. The Anti-Lottery law l.
ne of the most efficient weapons

ublicans. -Times-Democrat. |;

POLITICAL POINTERS.

-Republican Congressman: "What
shall wo do. Mr.. President, in case we
lose tho House?" The President Tab
sent-mindedly): .Oh. we shall still
have the cottage.
The late Samuel ]. Randall's
fortune Of $. 900 is the grandest monu-
ment that could be erected to the MEM
ory of man who had spent his life in
the field Of &C tive politics. Washington
Star.
-Ex-Pre Hayes is reported to
have said that he regretted the passage
Of the Mckinley bill. II SO he has
plenty Of company in his views. Every
body in private life feels the same way.
The Mckinley high-tariff robbers are
all ofiice-holders.- Chicago Globe.
The IS. oOO. 900 Of people of this
country must for years to come pay an
additional and greatly increased price
for every blanket shawl or bit of cloth
ing they purchase, and the laborer will
feel the distress OF the new load the
greatest Of all.-Madison Democrat.
The cost Of living is to be in.
creased for the many that the few may
be enriched, and the overburdened
farmers Of the land have had . new
weight put upon their shoulders, while
delusive promises Of share in ''protec-
tion' has been held out to them.-N.
Y. Times.
Dry goods now 60 up; every thing
goes up-except wages. Theoretically
the tariff should bring prosperity to the
working-man by increasing his wages.
How is he benefited now. since he must
pay higher prices for all he buys and
can get no more for his only commodity? :?
Chicago Mail.
The tariff bill may be first-class
thing for the monopolists, but 1t is .
mighty bad thing for the working-man.
1t reminds us of the old Adirondack
guide who said: 'They made me sleep
with Jim Barlow last night. and we only
had one blanket between us and that
had hole in it. Jim had the blanket
and had the hole. IN. Y. Herald.

enue, make the sum total OF important
measures passed during seven months
session Of Congress. The other bills

An Assistant Whose Name Nearly Caused

Down town on a side street there is

barber. lie Is an assistant and his

near losing the job and on account Of

The proprietor of the shop was in

He liked his appearance. was satisfied
with the amount Of pay he expected to
receive and engaged him.
What is your name?' inquired tho
boss.
Guess" was the reply.

responded the boss. but still he began
trying. We'll" he said. PERHAPS il

none the less deliberately, Guess"

ately.
The young man shook his head and
again replied with an emphasis Guess
Then the boss showed signs Of fatigue
and anger
'.See here, young fellow, If you cant
answer a civil question l think you'd
better look elsewhere for a job. Now,
sir, am in no humor for triting; what
Is your name?"
George Guess"
Now it happened that the boss first
name was George, and naturally he
thought the young man was still anus
ing himself in most unusual fashion.
Say" he roared in deep, bass tones,
'this has gone far enough. If you will
not tell me your name you'll have to get
out, that's all there is to it."
Il have told you several times that
my name is Guess and also declared
that my first name is George. Ii that
doesn't satisfy you I'm afraid nothing
ever will"
Then the boss penetrated the mys
terry, made ample apologies, and Mr.
Guess was duly assigned to chair. -
