the Hon. Adlai E. Stevenson, the
Democratic nominee for Vice-Presi-
dent, was Assistant Postmaster-Gen-
eral under Cleveland, proposition
was made to him for the removal of
the postofice at Bloomington, Ill.
The following was his reply:
In reply to your inquiry whether
the removalof the Bloomington post
office at the expiration of the present
lease to Stevenson block is contem-
plated by the department answer it
is not. Inasmuch as number of
gentlemen for whom / maintain a
high regard have written me suggest
ing the removal, shall be glad to
have them know my views upon the
subject. Stevenson block is owned
by members OF my own family, which
fact, while ] sustain my present po-
sition, wholly excludes if from con-
sideration asa location for a post
office. The exercise of official power
to promote the pecuniarY interestiof
ones self or friends cannot, in my
judgement. under any possible cir
.cumstanees, be justified. =

large in letters of human blood, in the
flames of burning oil, in the smoke of

that the Republican doctrine of .'pro-
lection for the benefit of the American

!, Tho Homestead works are controlled
by Andrew Carnegie, the twenty mil
ionaire, the apostle of high protection,

muniicient contributor to the Repub-
ican campaign funds, the dear friend of

reduced Wages and the bullets of mer-
cenary troops. Par tft4
In time of manufacturing prosperity
and with prohibitive tariff to bar out
foreign competition, Mr.. Andrew Car
negie made a sweeping cut in the wages
of his thousands of workmen. They
struck for living wages and refused to
allow men to supplant them. He hired
Pinkerton troops, armed with Winches-
ter rifles, to reduce them to subsection.
The Pinkertons fred upon the worlmen
and their FIRE was desperately returned.
a battle ensued and the hireling troops
surrendered. That is the story to this
writing.
The moral is that protection does not
protect the laborer. The manufacturer
receives, by government decree, tribute
from all consumers, his laborer includ-
ed. But the laborer is still dependent
upon his employer for any share in the
bounty ordained and enforced by the
government upon the pretext that it is
for his benefit only. Carnegies millions
multiply, but his men are made to choose
between beggary and the bullet.-Co.

To the Editor Of the Regiiter.
SIR At the opening of the cam
paign the Republican managers sent
out circulars to the local committee
men in each magisterial district with
instructions to send in the name and
politics of each voter in the district.
The heading of this form called for
former politics. doubtful s'press
ent politics. and treligion.'' The
introduction of religion into politics
in this State was q new departure
and was freely and variously com
mented on at that time. Numerous
predictions were made as to the mo-
tive which aetuated them to know
the religion of the voter. In former
campaigns, so far as known, religion
was left out when listing voters. No
one inquired as to the religion of can
didates or voters. We were sup
posed to be contending for politi-
cal principle and not religious one.
As time grew apace the mystery
deepened with those who had been
shown the form which called for the
religion of the voter. If it was not
the intention of the Republican man
ayers to appeal to the religious pre-
judice of the voter what motive could
they have had in asking for the re-
ligion of the voter?
Within the past few days Demo-
cratic voters living in this and ada
cent counties have been receiving
pamphlets through the mails, the
title of'which is ''The Public Schools
and their Enemies,'' and >'The Cor
ruption of the Chief Rulers of the
Roman Catholic Ghurch-the Popes,
Bishops and Priests,'' which is fair
to presume is the key to the mystery
and exposes the motive of those who
would appeal to religious prejudice
in order to gain q political advan-
tage.
1t is known that large per cent.
of the Catholic voters of this State
are Democrats, and the only object
in sending out such base campaign
literature is to make it appear that
the Democratic party is dominated
by the Catholic element of the party,
and a prejudicial appeal is Therefore
made to other religious prejudice
among West Virginia voters in the
history of the State. All those who
love freedom and fair play will frown
down upon all such diabolical at
tempts to stir up strife and prejudice
among West Virginia voters!

The negro had at least the prospect of
a quiet old age and a peaceful death be-
fore him. The white slave of today sees
looming up before his eyes visions of a
different character. He sees a poor
house and the potter's field in the vista
of the future, with the spital and the
jail as halfway houses between. His
life is constant trouble to keep his
earnings above the starvation point, and
the prospect before him and those do
pendent upon him is as bleak and hope
less as the joyiess past. Chicago Globe.
