thereafter came another day. Tell it
uot in Kansas, proclaim it not in the
tents of the peoples party! The morn

the apostle Of the people; the afternoon
saw him hobnobbing with the hostile
rich and quafing champagne at their
expense. Worse than all, when he was
~reproached in eager terms by his con-
stltuency of the people, the prophet OF
labor hardened his heart like Pharaoh OF
old, and babe his counsellors begone
from his sight. His champagne he
would drain, when and where he pleased,
and the busybodies of Cleveland might
pocket both their money and their ad-

For the sake of the voters of Kansas
we hope that Jerry's alteration is mere

SNUBS AND SNOBS.

The visit of the President has,
according to report, been profit
ic source of petty jealousies be-
tween the various kinds and de-
gree of sno5s who fancy they are
big guns but who in reality are
only squirts. What difference
should it make with man of
sense whether he is the 18th or
76th man who is permitted to
shake hands with the President or
whether he is to be permitted to
breath within rod or two rods
from his venerated presence. We
notice that Governor Markham is
said to have been sighted, but we
notice this much; the Governor
never by look or word intimated
that he had been snubbed. He
had too much sense. and it did
not make any difference to him if
n lot OF cheeky toadleS did give him
the cold shake at a banquet. The
Governor got enough to eat any,
way.
These receptions to great men
bring out in strong colors a cert
ain class of citizens who are the
biggest lot of tcadies and syco-
plants in the whole community |
They "ring in" on every possible |
occasion and strut and splurge as
though it were a divine act to
be accorded the privilege If a
moment of intimacy with a noted
man. The President must be
compelled to see hundreds Of these
persons and how amused and dis
5usted he must be with their ant
les. Thank the Lord. California

NOT THE PRESIDENTS FAULT.

The citizens of Nevada have
felt somewhat disguised at the
manner in which the President has
ignored the State.
AS a matter of fact the President
was very anxious to visit Nevada,
particularly the Comstock mines.
but the committee having him in
charge in California made other
arrangements.
The local committee down there
is composed of men who are
using the Chief Executive of the
nation as an advertising poster to
keep themselves before the public.
Many of them are merely a lot
of cheeky snobs who are always
looming up in public and making
asses OF themselves, while every
body is asking how they got
there.
The committee industrously ig-
nored Nevada. There was an at
tempt made to fix a time when
the President could receive a dele |
cation of Nevada citizens, but it |
was impossible to get the Com
mittee to name time or place.
They purposely avoided the
matter, so as to give themselves
more time to pose and caper
about the Presidential monkey
show they were running.
Several prominent citizens Of
this State did manage to get ac-
cess to his room, and he expressed
his regret that he was not able to
come here instead of going to Ore
yon.
On Saturday evening the Union
League Club gave him reception =
and the club condescended to issue
invitations to about dozen New
7ada people. \

Strange Places for Their Hiding Place

whore Was tbe Postal Gard.
A postal card was placed In the box OF
the EVENING JOURNAL yesterday morning
which had been mailed In Newark, Octo-
ber 2l, 1890, and was received La this city
at o'clock the same morning. No one
knows where the postal card has been
since that date. Postmaster Daniel r.
Stewart said that he could not explain
how the card could have remained in the
post Office so long. 1t was plainly ad-
dressed and there should have been no
delay in its proper delivery If
badly addressed 1t might have
finally reached the dead letter
Office Boxes ara inspected every Friday
to find letters. Mr.. Stewart asked his dis
trbuting clerks If they had cased the
postal card yesterday. They all said
they had not. It is the old series card
and they would have noticed 1t If they
had handled it. One explanation is that
II might have become lodged In crack in
one of the distributing boxes and there
remained until dislodged by another
letter
Postmaster Stewart told several pecu-
liar incidents about lost mail Some
years ago the Delaware Bank did not
receive valuable letter which had been
mated TO it. The post office inspector
had the loss on his list under investi-
cation for FIVE years, without discoVerli e
any trace Of it. One day certain mail
car was taken to the shops for repairs
and between the inside and outside par
tition was found the letter yellow with
age, but with it's contents undamaged
An iron manufacturer complained that
be did not receive ali his mail A letter
addressed to his firm was received several
months after being sent. Postmaster
Stewart told him there might be ledge
in his letter box where letters would
stick. The msn examined the box and
found another letter which had been
lodged there several weeks.
An insurance firm mailed a letter TO
Jersey City, putting 1t in a street box on
Sunday night It was collected at Z
o'clock Monday morning and sent to its
destination, but was not delivered until
Tuesday. A complaint was filed that 1t
should have been received on Monday
A strange circumstances was divulged ia
this Investigation The letter was
marked received" at its destination on
the Saturday morning before it was
mailed in this city. 1t was stamped
wrong and hence the complaint.
Persons sometimes put papers in letter
boxes, which lodge near the top. Then
letters that are dropped in lodge on top,
and If letter carriers are not very care
full, remain there for some time
Sometimes the post Office box is nearly
full Of mail. When the drawer is pulled
open letter ia caught against the inside
ledge and bent under When the bcx Is
pushed back the letter is drawn under
Heath. The distributors examine these
drawers frequently to guard against this
OF letters.

CLEVELAND, o., Jan. 9.--The famous Nc
Queary trial is now at end, all but the de-
cision OF the court. 1t is expected that a
decision will be reached in short time. as
It is quite generally conceded that the Rev
MeQueary will be found guilty. In his
argument Rev. MeQueary stated explicitly
that his object ia writing a book was not
to create a sensation, but to, il possible,
assist IN conforming Christianity to com
mon sense and nineteenth century
thoughts. In closing with the final reply
to the prosecutor he said the church and
the prosecutor were dogmatists, and that
the latter admitted that the council OF Nice
did not insist upon virgin birth and literal
resurrection Of the body Rev McQueary
has been advised throughout the trial by a
Unitarian clergyman, and it is anticipated
that he will adopt that creed.
