wanamaker Favors a Friend.

A Washington special to the New York
Sun gives very vivid account of an
alleged interview last Friday between Post
master General Wanamaker and a man
named Patterson, who is the editor of the
United States Mail, a magazine published
in the interests of postal employees. 1t
seems that Mr.. George E. Lemon, the
richest pension agent in Washington, has a
weekly paper called the Tribune, which he
uses to advance his business 1t has
an immense circulation among the
Grand Army veterans, mainly because
it keeps them posted about pensions. The
postoffice laws do not permit anything to
be printed or written on the wrappers of
newspapers, or any other second-class mail
matter, except what is specified in the law.
Mr.. Lemon has been, and still is, violating
the laws by sending his papers in wrappers
containing printed circular addressed to
postmasters, requesting that the papers be
given to old soldiers if not called for by
those to whom they are addressed
Mr.. Patterson called the attention of the
postoffice authorities to this outrageous
violation of the postoffice laws and the
attorney of the postoffice department, to
whom the matter was referred promptly
said that Lemon was guilty of a grave
offense
Lemons papers with their unlawful
wrappers continued to go through the mails,
however. Mr.. Patterson called on the Post
master General about the matter, who de-
clared that he intended to permit Lemon to
send his papers through the mails in
the unlawful wrappers. 1t was
then that the interview became
deeply interesting. Mr.. Patterson raised his
voice until it could be heard across the
street. and shouted that Mr.. Wanamaker
permitted the laws to be violated by Lemon
because Lemons money helped to make
Mr.. Wanamaker's appointment as Post
master General a possibility. He further
said that Lemon was the biggest pension
shark in Washington, and the Republican
party did not dare to offend him because he
was such a large contributor to its cam
paign fund. Mr.. Wanamaker also lost his
temper, and in a loud tone of voice said
some saucy things to Patterson.
II the things stated in the dispatch are
true they reveal very deplorable condition
of affairs. If a cabinet officer ignores the
laws with impunity. to serve an influential
member of his party, why may not subor-
makers example, if followed generally,
would not be conducive to law. order and
the prosperity Of the country.

The unveiling of Lees Statue.

The event of this week will be the unveil-
ing of Lees statue at Richmond on May %.
Very great preparations have been made
for it in that city, and deep interest in it is
felt in all other parts of the south. Indeed,
it is not wholly without interest in the
north, for the northern people, particularly
the soldier element. have great respect for
the memory Of Gen. Lee. His great ability
as soldier and his noble character COM
mand the admiration of the whole civilized
world.
The other day Washington dispatch ap-
peared in some of the republican papers to
the effect that the northern democrats in
congress greatly regretted the display Of
confederate flags that was being made at
Richmond, and also that they were afraid
things would be said during the unwilling
ceremonies that would be prejudicial to the
interests Of the democratic party. It is
doubtful if any northern democrats
ever gave expression to any such
views. The dispatches were sent out, doubt
less, under instructions from the republican
leaders, with the view of creating the i'm
preston in the north that there was a dis
loyal 1eenng In the south, thus laying the
foundation for more campaign material.
Such dispatches, however, will do little if
any harm. The great mass of the northern
people cannot be made to believe that the
south is not just as Loyal as the north, and
they would have less regard for the south
ern people if they failed to honor the mem

No one can study his character without
being better for doing so.

Citizen Trains Triumph.

Citizen George Francis Train is about the
happiest man there is in all this broad land.
He has done something no other mortal ever
did, viz, gone around the world in less than
'sixty-eight days. He is the hero of boom
town on the Pacific coast, which was the
starting and finishing point of his globe
encircling journey. The people there look
upon him as a hero, and regard it as a great
privilege to take their hats off to him when
ever they meet him on the street. Perhaps
the fattering attentions he is receiving will
have the effect Of repairing his mental
machinery, which, for a number of years,
has appeared to have screw loose some
where.
Notwithstanding all his eccentricities,
however, and his cranky notions Citizen
Train is a pretty shrewd sort of a man.
He has vast amount of energy, and in his
best days was power in the business world.
His name has been connected with many
great enterprises, and whatever may have
been his follies he has held on to enough of
his wealth to be still counted rich man.
Having again had taste of popular ap-
plause, after years of comparative quiet, it
would not be surprising if he should engage
in new undertakings He is already talk
ing about beating his own round the world
record, and soon after his arrival in Tacoma
he declared that he could take 500 people
around the world in forty-eight days. The
spectacle Of Citizen Train at the head of
500 of Tacoma's leading citizens, on flying
trip around the world, would be an inspir-
- I'D h.
interested in it and Citizen Train would get
as much notoriety as he could desire.
it is probable that he has given up for
ever the practice of sitting in Madison
square park, New York, bare headed, feed
ing the birds and telling stories to children.
The ambition that once possessed him has got
possession of him again, and if he does not
undertake another trip around the world he
may loom up as the builder of Mr.. Blaine's
inter-continental railway.

The Cherry Tree.

When summer breathes DER budding leaves,
And wooS the flowers to life and light,
And grassy legions throng the roads,
And dnnets sing from morn till night,
Each jocund mouth reveals to me
New beauties In the cherry tree.
Quaint rings and moss and snowy flakes,
And arms aglow with crimson gems;
/ almost deem it has soul
That trembles through its dainty stems;
For oft it shakes as if with glee,
That gnarled and cabalistic tree.
There's not robin, blythe and brown,
Or lark that wings the upper air,
But knows its bougns as well as l,
And sings his quaintest carols there;
i ween they've spread DER land and sea
The glory of the cherry tree.
Well knows the piowsboy, tireless elf,
The branches where the jewels cling,
And ere he milks the dreamy herd
He scars and banquets like king.
To boy and bird alike it's free,
That crimson starred old cherry tree.
When Phoebus sinks beneath the wave,
And lilies hang their sanity heads,
While roses weep beside the gate,
And robins sleep in leafy beds,
The lover bends with reverent knee
Under that old familiar tree.
No fervid vows that friendship pours,
Beneath its green and sheitering cope.
When moonlight tips its happy leaves,
Are ever marred or madly broke.
Oh, never faithless tryst could b.
Under the staunch old cherry tree.
When autumn comes with haggard eyes,
And rebel winds assail his crown,
And all his kingiy breast is bare,
And leaves like tears come trembling dowr
Still fancy's pensive eye doth see
martyr in the cherry tree.

''The white republicans in the south are
not unanimous by any means for the fed
eral election law" writes correspondent
of st. Louis paper. That is certain be-
yond the possibility of doubt. Mr.. Brewer,
of North Carolina, and Mr.. Evans, of Ten
nessee. have declared themselves against
the Reed-Lodge bill, which provides for
returning boards and unlimited deputy
marshals. For this reason Reed gave out
word that he wanted the republican major
ity in the House increased, and the servile
committee on privileges and elections
obeyed his mandate. There are signs of
further revolt, and as he hasn't a sure ma
jority yet, the country can expect more of
this high-handedin injustice.

will secure the support of conscientious
voters. The democrats will probably nomi-

Pennsylvania the cleanest administration

From the Louisville CoWrier-Journal (Dent1.
Buldozing democratic voters in the north has
been carried on in the most shameless manner
for almost a generation. Only by that and
brb ry can the republicans hope to keep them
selves in power, and no scruple has ever pre-
vented their free use of either. BY these
methods they have endeavored to make the
north solid. With fair vote, without the use
of money and intimidation. the democrats
would have carried every presidential election
since 1872, aud the republicans know it.

for horse stealing, has been identified on
his own confession as the nervy robber who
compelled President Moffat, of the First
National bank of Denver, at the point of a
pistol, to sign check for S21 200, which he
cashed. A man who can plan and execute
such daring deed is no ordinary criminal,
and this view is further sustained by the
discovery that King will have to answer
for three charges of horse stealing, for kill
ing man aud for three train robberies in
Texas. The money he obtained from the
bank he buried, and he offers to return it if
the bank will let him off easy and pay for
three horses he stole.
