ADMINISTRATIONS COMPARED.

A statement has been prepared
from the records of the postoffice de-
partment showing the number Of
presidential postmasters appointed
during the first two months Of the
present. administration and also the
number appointed during the cores
ponding period In Mr.. Harrison's adj
ministration. The statement shows
that during the last two months 155
presidential postmasters have been
appointed as against 265 appointed
during the corresponding period in
Mr.. Harrisons Administration. Hot
Springs News.
This showing is not to the credit
Of the present Democratic administra-
ton, since it discloses the fact that
but little over half as many new Off
cials have been put in by Cleveland
as by Harrison in the same length of
time. As we have heretofore said, if
the election of last fall meant anything
it was that the people desired it
made Democratic at the bottom and
all along the line, as well as at the
top; it was revolution that called
for a reformation full and complete;
it was the peoples verdict condemn
ing Republicanism in every manner,
shape and form.
We do not believe that re-
form ingoyernmental affairs
can be attainedby retaining in office
Republican Office holders, for the
following reasons 1st, they are
used to Republican extravaganza,
corruption and general devious ways,
hence should not serve under Democ-
racy, proposing a complete reform;
End, they are the natural enemies of
Democracy, and it can not be consid'
ent that they will work for the adj
vancement of Democratic ideas and
principles-an enemy seeks to
tear down. rather than to build up Oh
forward the interests of his adversary;
3rd, the first two reasons naturally
lead to the conclusion that since they
cannot assist in the work of Demo
cratic reformation, reliable servants
(Democrats) should be put in their
places.
Let the work Of reform go forward
and to this end, let Democrats come
to the front. in low as we'll as hlgl
places.

The County Examiner has the
privilege Of appointing two male

LONDON, ENG, Sept. 1.-THE sensation
Of the day here Is an attack made yester-
day upon Mr.. Gladstone by Rev. Frederic
Davies.
Mr. Gladstone attended divine service
yesterday at the Episcopal! church at
Blairgowrie, and the sacred edifice, in
honor Of the Premiers visit, was packed
with people anxious TO see the great
Liberal leader. On previous Sundays. II
would seem, the church mentioned has
not been crowded with worshippers. Rev.
Frederic Davis. who was to preach the
sermon, publicly insulted Mr. Gladstone
by refusing TO shake hands with the
venerable statesman before the sermon.
In addition. during his sermon, the
clergyman directly condemned the people
present, for, as he claimed, coming to the
church from an unworthy motive-to
worship a creature rather than the
Creator.
The words Of the reverend gentleman
caused much Indignation among a
majority OF those present.

The Cardwell Machine Company, owing
to their rapidly increasing business and
the inadeqacy Of their present quarters
10 supply the demands of their patrons
will in a few days commence work upon
an immense plant on the northeast corner
OF Nineteenth and Cary streets. The
ground for the great establishment was
to have been broken yesterday. but the
heavy rains prevented. and consequently
the contractor will walt for another dry
spell.
The new plant, which will involve the ex-
penditure of at least 100000 VIII be COM
pleted in time for the spring trade, and
the force OF hands will be increased from
the present number of 125 to 800 The es-
Enlistment will be second in size only TO
the Locomotive and Tredgar Works.
1t will cover over half a block and will
extend nearly the entire way from Cary
to Main street. There will be a l66 foot
front on Cary street. and 1t will run back
POO feet on Nineteenth. The main build
ing and foundry will be 6Ox10O feet, while
the blacksmith shops, etc, will be 40x60
feet.
The Company at present has two fac
toricS-one from No. l51 to 1921 Cary

WASHINGTON, September IL. -
There is no new light let in on the SEN
Is manifested by those Senator'S who,
though friendly to the use OF silver, re-
gard this delay and fighting over the re-
peal of the Sherman law as very unwise
and unfortunate. On account OF the pc
culiar conditions under which the forces
In support OF repeal are organized, mem
bers OF both parties making up the vote
by which the bill passed the House, and
the measure being dependent upon Repub-
lican votes for passage by the Senate.
every other proposition for legislation,
every legislative move and the whole
policy OF Congress seem to be involved
in this measure and its friends are con-
stantly in a state OF alarm lest some
other legislation be attempted which
might offend the Republican supporters of
repeal or in some way throw a barrier
across the track of the Voorhees, bill.
Now that 1t is expected that the propo-
sition to repeal the Federal election laws
will come up in the House this week, a
good many of the friends OF the Voor-
hees bill are alarmed lest the partisan
discussion over the Federal election laws
should so anger some OF the Republi-
cans as TO cause them to withdraw their
support from the other propositions. They
fear that the partisanship which will de-
Yelop on the one questions will have q re-
fiex action on the other and give the ad-
ministration some trouble. The House,
however, comtemplates going ahead with
the Federal election proposition. The
Democrats OF the committee having in
charge that measure met to-day and de-
cided upon bill to be presented. They
adopted the Tucker bill, which repeats all
laws on the statute books which authorize
the use of troops at the polls all laws
which give the Federal Government any
Jurisdiction over the elections In the States
and over the registration OF voters in the
States. 1t is a sweeping measure, destroy
ing the Federal jurisdiction established
during the reconstruction period and
since. The bill will be formally laid be-
fore the whole committee tomorrow and
then reported to the House. Notice will
be given that 1t will be called UP for con-
sideration on Thursday. and It Is ex-
pected that the House will adjourn over
until that day.
Meanwhile, the discussion over the Voor-
hees bill goes on without any indication
OF an approaching end and the advocates
OF repeal are perplexed as TO the course
they should pursue to hasten a vote.
They fear that any move toward forcing
the matter to a conclusion will only fur
nish a diversion from the main issue and
prolong the fight So they are compelled
for the present at least to worry on
through the weary delay and to wait for
something to turn up to end the matter.
