ANECDOTES OF THE P osTAL SERVICE.

The Postoffice Department is deter
mined that its appOintees shall be treat
ed with proper respect. In Southern
Missouri the proper man, according to
/ all information, was recently appointed
to little post office. He lived eight
miles from the village. The inhabitants
would neither permit him to rent build
ing nor buy lot to build on. But the
boycotters were boycotted, for the Post
Office Department directed him to keep
the Office in his own house, and forbade
all train men to collect or deliver letters
for the villagers. They soon came to
terms. In North Carolina town black
man was appointed postmaster The
white people took him out one night,
pounded him hard enough to break a leg
and an arm, and of course sickened him
of public office before he had chance to
try it.
Some months ago Northern woman
of middle age was appointed a fourth
class postmistress in South Carolina
Her father and mother went South before
the war. He was a Republican, and
earned an honest living. After several
years he was killed ON account of his Re-
publicanism. The daughter married a
reconstructed Southerner They killed
him on account of his Republicanism.
The two widows taught the little darkies
The younger was made postmistress in
Arthur's administration. The Cleve-
land people turned her out. Mr. Clark
son appointed her again. The day after
ward telegram from South Carolina
reached him to the effect that this par
ticular postmistress was black woman
of bad character. A few days after the
First Assistant Postmaster General had
two callers from South Carolina, who
protested that this particular postmis-
tress was a black woman of low charac-
ter.
'She is, eh?" the mild hammered
Clarkson inquired. "She has gotta broth
er in this town. I'd like to call him
down here and have you say that to him.
What is the use for you to lie?''
Five years ago J. p. Matthews, Re-
publican of Hazelhurst, Miss, was
warned that lie must not vote. L. b..
Wheeler was delegated to shoot Matthews
if he tried to vote. The Republican
voted and was shot dead. A meeting of
citizens, over which jill, Mead presided,
applauded the murder by resolutions.
This man was appointed Postmaster of
HazelhuTst in the first two months of
the Cleveland administration. To give
full credit-if any credit is due after an
appointment like that-the commission
was never signed. Miss Clara c. Mat
thews, daughter of the murdered man,
was recently appointed POstmistress at
Hazelhurst by President Harrison.

This idea was regarded with considerable
favor. Another citizen said ''they ought
to go at in the same way they went at il
at Ventnor, which was TO get under way
with the DOCTORS" and he thought It
would be best to appoint a committee.
Finally it was unanimously resolved
"ehat the gentlemen present form them

Shanklin will be watched with great in

What is cold in the head? Medi-
cal authorities say it is due to uneven
clothing of the body, rapid cooling when
in perspiration, etc. The important
point is, that cold in the head is an in
ilammation of the lining membrane of
the nose, which, when unchecked, is GER
tain to produce catarrhal condition
for catarrh is essentially ''eold' which
nature is no longer able TO ''resolven or
throw of. Ely's Cream Balm has proved
its superiority, and sufferers should re-
sort TO it before that common ailment
becomes seated and ends in obstinate
eataTrh.

to Texas. Have Messrs. Barry,
Clark, Hall, Cook, Shepard and others
of the Seven County Combine more in
terest in Texas than the vast majority of
citizens who favor oornmissIon?- Have
not the commission advocates homes and
interests in Texas? Are not the interests
of commission advocates to be advanced
by the progress of the state? Have not
the commission advocates as much to
lose by senseIess hostility to railroads
as any opponent of commission? A
few men and newspapers in Texas cali
the commission advocates communists
and anarchists aud many more
newspapers and individuals write and
talk as IL a commission necessarily meant
a forfeiture of railroad charters. Com
mission advocates are Texans and patri-
OTIS. and, perhaps, if the comparison be
made, they have done about as much to
build up Texas as those who have become
30 suddenly progressive. And these
commission advocates will continue to
work for Texas, and there will be no
commission framed by "anArchists,
but one made with due regard TO the
common interests of railroads and peo-
pie. Apropos of this subject we COM
mend to the Herald this extract from
a Dallas News interview with Mr.. Brook
Robertson:
, ha said nd
letters every day asking for speakers in all parts
OF the state, and am not attempting to supply
the demand. It is impossible. noticed in the
News of yesterday some information that aston
ished me. IN the railroad column in appears
that Jay Gould has just bought another railroad
in Texas and that railroad construction is I'M
usually active. The indications that new
lines of roads at various points are in con-
tenn rlation, and all this in the face of the re-
turns showing that Jim Hogg will be the next
governor. prominent railroad man remarked
to nae that he had had considerable experience
in trying to get capital to invest in Texas and the
chief difficulty he found was in the fact that our
railroads in the hands of spectators and
wreckers, which deferred investors from coming
here. In this connection am reminded that in
Georgia, where freights are about half of
what they are here, stocks and bonds are away
above par and the roads are in fine condition,
but there they are carrying on legi timate busl-
ness under a railroad commission
There are railroads and railroads In
Texas, and there are railroad specula-
tors and railroad operators. Hogg's
election may not promote the interest of
railroad spectators, but it will not in-
jure railroad operators. Neither will
Hogg's election iujure Texas manufac-
turing interests, and this last assurance
is one worthy prayerful consideration
on the part of "ruiE- the-state' OPP
ponents of Hogg and commission.
Texas needs factories as much as it
needs railroad spectators.

NOnRIGBT ABOUT FACE- :,

The most surprising thing in this campaign is
the attitude of the Fort Worth GAzRTzE. No
paper in Texas has done more to bring foreign
capital here than THE GkzErTE. It is the mouth
piece OF the most enthusiastic body of hustlers
and city Builders in the state. 1t represents the
Hurleys, who are known az Boston boys; the
Huffmaus, Caswells. CameroDs, and SO on
through long list OF enterprising men who are
never weary of inducing capital to come TO
Texas from the North and East 10 build railroads
and factories, and yet 1t is the sturdiest fighter
Hogg has, and it works night and day to bring
about his nomination
What does THE GAzRrTR's right about face
mean?
The assumption of certain newspapers
and individuals that they represent the
progressiveness' of Texas is gratuitous
and the consequent assumption that the
enactment of q commission law would
paralyzs Texas is unwarranted. When
some newspaper shows the people OF
Texas that rum has followed q CO mmis-
sion in ths twenty-five other states of
tho Union that have commissions
some force may be loaned TO
this chestnut that ruin Is to come

IN REPLY to query the Fort Worth GAZETTE
states the cost of publishing that paper is some
what over $4,000 per N onth. This wi, be in
teresting Information for some people who be-
lieve a daily newspaper can be carried on at a
small expense. TIE GSzETTE further states
what is true of every daily paper in the state,
that it expends, in paying employees in the town
where 1t is published, more money every month
than it receives from the business in that town.
In fact, considering the capital invested, daily
newspapers pay more to wage-esrne1 than any
other enterprises. The daily press of WScO is
not exception, suspension OF the two daily
papers printed here would deprive the town of
several thousand dollars per month paid to the
wage-earners employed on those papers, and
every dollar of which is spent here at home

A "big morning daily, - as they are
derisively termed In Texas, is worth more
to any town than any factory that could
be named, for the benefit from the paper
is both direct and indirect. The paper
not only works for itself, as the factory
does, but it is continually working for
the town-the factory does nothing for
which it is not paid while the paper does
much for which it is not paid.
