THOUGHT 1T TIME TO RESIGN.
Rough Treatment of q Postmaster in
Arkansas.

The postmaster at Donaldson, Ark, after a
pretty tough experience, has concluded to re-
sign. Some Of the gentlemen living in the
vicinity Of the post Office entertained
personal objections to the postmaster, mainly
on the ground that he was a republican. Their
method OF showing what they thought Of the
postmaster il we'll described by the post
master himself in q letter which Mr.. Wana-
maker received this morning. The letter
would not be regarded as an ortho-
graphical model, but still it describes
the situation pretty well. 1t says:
Yesterday was knocked down and kicked
and stamped. began to think was used up
We have compromised, and l have agreed to
resign. l am told that will settle the whole
matter. / am truly glad to get away from here.
These people know not what they do. They
think it disgrace to be q republican"
Col. Whitfield, the first assistant, will send
an inspector to Donaldson, and if he finds that
the pos ostmaster has been run out of the town by
a gang he will direct the post Office to remain
closed and the people will be allowed to do
without one until they are willing to protect
the postmaster in the faithful discharge of his
duties.

POLITICAL ASSESSMENTS.
Mr.. Roosevelt on the Right of Clerks
to Make Contributions.

What the civil service reformers arc antap-
onizing in the collection Of money from gov
ernmeut employees is the quality Of compul-
sion.
The civil service commission and other civil
service reformers have no criticism to pass
upon clerks who wish to make contributions
toward the campaign funds of their respective
parties, but their desire is to protect all gov
ernment employees from forced contributions.
Commissioner Roosevelt is an earnest repub-
lican and has contributed to the republican
campaign fund, as q republican and not as an
Office holder. Commissioner Thompson is a
at this falls election. He has contributed to-
ward the democratic campaign fund.
Mr.. Roosevelt said to STAR reporter today
that government clerks had a perfect right to
contribute money to which ever party they pre-
ferred without fear or favor but they should
not be compelled to so contribute.
But there is no reason. he said, "why under
republican administration all the contribu-
tlons should be made to the republican cam
paign fund and under a democratic admins
tration they should all be to the democratic
fund.
1.-THE clerks are as much at liberty to con.
tribute to one party as to another. and they are
perfectly safe and free to make no contribution
II they 80 prefer. Within the classified SER
vice the employees are under obligation
70 no party. Gov. Thompson is DEM
ocrat serving under this administration;
he makes q contribution to aid his party
1 am republican, aid mine II we did not
want to contribute we would not No one can
force government employe to contribute.
Nor il he desires to contribute, compel him
to contribute to this party rather than that
THAT is all there is in the question, except
that no employe shall solicit directly or in
directly from any other employe, and none
shall give to or take from another employe.
IF there are political clubs of which govern
ment employees are members there is no reason
why they should not be democratic as we'll az
republican. But any Of them will be prose-
cuted If we have evidence of their trying to
force contributions by intimidation"

A SHIP CANAL FOR PENNSYLVANIA
SENATOR BRICE IN CHARGE.
He Personally Supervises the Ohio
Fight-Ltberal Use OF Money Charged

Special Dispatch to The EVENING SrAI
COLUMBUS, ONO, Oct 30-Calvin s. Brice,
Senator-elect from Ohio and chairman OF the
democratic national executive committee, is in
the city and will personally supervise
the remainder of the Ohio campaign
for his party. Republicans openly charge
that intimately associated with Brice's coming
was the arrival Of piethoric "boodle" fund
for campaign uses, and claim that the Senator s
personal contribution was s25.OO0.
VAST SUNS OF MONEY SPENT.
However this may be there is no doubt that
vast sums Of money are being spent by both
parties in several of the closely contested con-
gressional districts, notably that In which Nc
kinley and Warwick are the oppos-
ing candidates. In that district it is said
that the question is not show much?" but will
money do it?" Both parties have all the money
they can use and while in that district a;
least enormous amounts are being spent in va
rious advertising devices. brass bands ami the
pomp and paraphernalia of public meetings.
there will still be many thousands of dollars
expended which cannot be accounted for legitl-
mately. The fight centers in Holmes county.
which vacilates from 500 to =. 500 democratic
majority, and is claimed by that party as being
sure thing in any ordinary election by at least
2,000.
THE oM1sH VOTE IN COLUMBUS.
In this county there are several hundred
voters who belong to peculiar religious sect
known as Omish. AS rule they do not SO to
the polls at all. though when they do 60 DEM
ocratic ballot is usually cast. and it is claimed
the republicans are planting thousands OF
dollars IN this colony In the effort to have Its
voters either stay at home on election day. or
better still. start at once on an extended visit
to friends at q distance and remain away until
after election.
1t is learned from q reliable source that a
day or two previous to election there will be
veritable exodus of Omish voters ON the out
going trains from Holmes county, and 1t is
claimed by democrats that the fine
Italian hand Of Matt Quay may
be distinguished in this effective
method of campaign warfare. 1t may be pos
sible that votes are not being purchased up
there, but If so it is neither from lack Of de-
sire nor yet from want Of almost unlimited
campaign funds.
