POSTMASTER COWDEN

Salary-Readju

Special Telegram 20 Ote hectSte'-
WASHINGTON, d. c., June THE
First Postmaster General has just com
,sleted the readjuStment of the salaries
of first class poStmaSters throughout
the country. This readjnStment OF
salaries is based on the increase or de-
crease in the receipts of the pOstoffices
f.r the year. Tue postmaster at Wheel
ing will not get an increase of salary
this year. The gross receipts of the
office for the four quarters endine
March 81, 1891, were S57, 1928, an In
crease of Sc, ,761.5O over the previous
year. To secure an increase OF salary
the receipts OF the Office would have had
to go beyond 500, 900, so that Wheeling's
postmaster will continue to draw the
same rate, 50, 100 year.

national currency bank bill, introduced
by John Sherman ON February 2, and
which became q law on February 81,
1868. And when she quotes him as say
ing at o later period Of time, these words,
considered with relation to his vehement
advocacy of the public credit strengthen
ing act Of March 18, 1859, they indeed
speak volumes:
To refuse to pay the bonds in gold would
be reputation and extortion, and be SCOT
fng at the blessings of Almighty God.
This certainly has Significance when 1t
is considered with reference to the Haz-
zard circular, issued by the money kings
of Great Britain in 1862, and which was
faithfully distributed among the Ameri-
can bankers in clandestine way In 1852.
Now, in 1891, when Andrew Carnegie's
"The A B of Money" is q combined
American and British financial mani
festo, history may here be said to be re-
peating itself.
This, from the Hazard circular, Is so
apropos to the present and prospective
movements of gold standard advocates,
as to deserve the most serious cOnsidera
ton:
Slavery is likely to be abolished by the
war power and chSttel slavery destroyed.
This and my European friends are in
favor of, for slavery is but the owning of
labor and carries with it the care for the
laborer; while the European plan led on by
England is capital control of labor by con-
trolling wages. This can be done by con-
trolling the money. The great debt that
capitalists will see to il is made out of the
war must be used as measure to control
the volume of money. To accomplish this
the bonds must be used as banking basis.
I'VE are waiting to get the secretary Of the
treasury to make this recommendation to
Congress. 1t viii not do to allow the green
back, as il is called, TO circulate as money
any length Of time, for we cannot control
P that.
Again this late manifesto of Carnegie
may be likened to the private circular sent
out to the bankers by James Buell., Secre-
tary Of the bankers ASSOCIATION, reading:
DEAR S1R:-It is advisable to do all in
your power to sustain such daily and promi-
nent weekly newspapers, especially the
agricultural and religious press, as will op-
pose the issuing of greenback paper money,
and that you withhold patronage or favors
from all applicants who are not willing TO
oppose the government issue of money.
Let the government issue the coin and
the banks issue the paper money Of the
country, for then we can better protect
each other. To repeal the law creating tho
national banks or to restore to circulation
the government issue of money will be to
provide the people with money, and will,
therefore, seriously affect your individual
profits as banker and lender. Sec your
member of Congress at once and engage
him to support our interest that we may
control legislation.
The closing words in Mrs. Todd's work
are 30 pertinent as to deserve reproduction
and the wish goes out that they may be
considered by good and honest hearts all
over our land:
Our dollars in circulation to-day are rich
with the blood, bone and muscle Of slaves.
We want money, money, money! Money
is made too dear, and men are made too
cheap. A system under which a man can

THE RAILROAD UNIVERsITY'S INSULT 10
THE PEOPLE.

Il is bad enough that the law depart
ments Of q couple Of railroad companies
should appoint and superlntend the
regents of the State University,
80 that once a year the students
may be leCtured by q railroad lawyer who
can sneer at the political and economic
notions which the "vulgar" people out
side the university have begun to enter
tain. 1t Is bad enough that precedent
was but followed when q railroad lawyer
from New York was brought out last
year to deliver the annual address at the
university, and Chauncey Depew, who at
q princely salary is hired TO represent and
defend the very diabolical system which
has well-nigh ruined those whose ILL
spared taxes support the university, was
invited to deliver this year the annual eu-
logy of Mammon and tho annual sneer
of railroad rspacity at the complaints Of
the people. l say, it is bad enough that
the university is, SO far as young men can
be impressed, so completely dominated
by railroad influence. But In their pub
llshed programme Of commencement ex-
ercises at their Kansas university the
railroads have gone farther this year than
ever before; and have obscured their sin
against good taste by the bold insult Of
fered to the people. A law Of New York
forbade cars to be lighted in the old way,
because Of the frightful consequences In
case Of accident; and directors were
made criminally responsible for the
death of any passenger from persistent
disregard of the law. Chauncey Depew
was director Of a company which per-
sistently ignored this law, and, of course,
ignored 1t solely from mercenary mo-
tives. Some weeks ago there was col
lision on this road In a tunnel-a perfect
trap. From the old lights the cars took
fire and some passengers--they were only
ordinary people, however-were burned
to death. The coroner's jury fixed the
responsibility upon the directors and
managers. A grand jury indicted them
for manslaughter. Depew, among others,
was arrested and Is now on bail awaiting
trial. Depew treated his arrest as an ex-
ceedingly merry joke. The Illustrated
american lately published cartoon OF
this eloquent" parsonage standing on q
pile Of rude cofflns containing the vic
Tins of the wreck, while, wine glass In
hand and his face beaming with good
humor, he makes an after-dinner speech
at banquet and says funny things about
the accident. The court has sustained
the indictment and is trying to compel q
trial, while railroad influence is working
to prevent further proceedings. Lately,
it has been Depew's best joke to refer TO
his indictment, when accepting an invita-
ton, by making his acceptance condl-
tlonal on 'the orders Of the court Of New
York"-whereat he laughs loud and long.
He was invited TO deliver an address at
the university, and those In charge Of
these matters had the insulting audaclty
to print in the programme, after the an
nouncement of Depew'S address, subject
TO the order5 Of the courts OF New York"
Meaning whatH Why this: That the peo-
pie Of Kansas consider il ridiculous that
courts should presume TO convict Chaun-
cev Depew--the nice net of the Wander

Where Old Maids Sleep.

There, sir, is where thirty old
maids are buried, all in one spot"
The speaker was one of the Greenwood
guides, and he pointed to a large plot
of ground. inclosed by an iron railing
in which more than a score of tomb
stones had been reared.
Them continued the guide, add
dressing a n. Y. Mail and Express
writer, with a rare disregard of gram
NAUTICAL rules, them was all members
of an old maids society, and the whole
society is buried there" AS to the
truth of the statement concerning the
society of old maids the reporter can
say nothing. But the graves of the
women are there, in one of the quiet
est spots near the center of Green
wood, and none but women are buried
in the plot.
They were of all ages, but most of
them died full of years, as the records
on the tombstone show. Three sis
tiers sleep within the plot side by side,
and over the grave of each is a tall,
broad slab. setting forth quantity and
devoutly the records of the lives of the
dead with the further statement as to
how the women died fast in the faith.
Especially long lived were these three
maiden ladies, for, according to the
records on their tombs, all of them
lived to be more than one hundred
years old, the oldest of them all dying
ut the ripe old age of one hundred and
twelve years.
The last burial in this quaint old
plot was made long ago. and it is said
that there will he no more. The last
of the band of maiden ladies who made
up the society,"" if such it really was,
is said to have passed away. The last
tombstone has been erected in the in
closure, and the plot in which the wo-
men rest will. so far as can be con-
jectured. be disturbed no more.
There are many visitors to the spot
where the maiden ladies now rest.
The story of-thc society of women,
who, having lived alone during life
wished in death to rest in a spot set
apart for them alone never fails to in
terest these visitors. In its way it is,
perhaps, as unique a spot as there is
in Greenwood.
