MILWAUKEE possesses at the present mo-
ment one of the curiosities of the aga Fed
eral Office with fat salary which nobody
vans. It might reasonably be supposed that
tie title of postmaster backed With a sala )
of nearly 81 ,O00 would appeal to the patriot-
ism of some loyal heart, but it does not APP
pear to do so. The Office is practically going

WEDNESDAY EVENING. OCT 4, 1898.

IFrr be conceded, as it seems to be,
that no vote can be reached in the Sen
ate on the bill to pass which the pres
ent special session of Congress was
held, why not adjourn the session al
once and proclaim to the country, ana
the world, that the government OF the
United States has been weighed in the
balance and found wanting, that it Is
a complete and entire failure, and that
the sooner it shall be abolished, and
some other form established, the better
for the people. Why, if the country
were in imminent peril from foreign
foe half dozen Senators, whose per-
sonal and individual interests might be
on the side of the enemy, could delay
the adoption of defensive measures I'M
Ill too late to be effective. The ship oil
State is sailing under false colors. II
pretends to be democracy, and there
fore to be ruled by the majority, white
in fact il is ruled by minority, and g
small minority at that.

The foundation of every house should be

One great reason why the great work Of
reformation goes on so slowly, is because we
all begin on our neighbors, and never reach
ourselves.

routine business.
The House then considered the bill
to promote the safety OF national banks
by prohibiting the officials of such
banks to borrow money except by the
consent Of the board of directors.
The consideration morning hour was
unproductive of results, although it

Letter from Former AIexandrian.
To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette.
BATEsvILLE, Ark, Sept. 29.-I was
delighted to receive from Mr.. ]. R..
Cation special copy of the GAZETTE.
To me it was very interesting, every
incident as familiar as fit happened
yesterday. Twas an eye witness to the
unfurling of the Confederate flag on
the Marshall House, and saw Mr.. jack
SON sfter ne was killed. l had the
privilege, yea the pleasure, of assisting
two clergymen to get ready for Danish
ment. One was Mr.. Leftwich, the
othe name l have forgotten. l feel
proud to read of Mr.. J. R. Cation.
When he was boy often taught him
his lessons and then believed be would
make good man, worthy his noble
mother. l regret to see the death of
LAWYER Beach. During the war lived
at us Cameron street; Mr.. Beach two
doors above At that time he was in-
deed friend. As union man he bad
advantages that / could not have and
many times assisted me in getting per-
mits to visit the prisons. In fact, dur
ing the last two years of the war l
never went to Washington TO see a
prisoner without the assistance of Mr..
Beach. For the simple reason | loved
theSouth and never denied il; sometimes
they required permits to look at a
rebel. I see no mention in the GAZETTE
of one family who lived below me on
Cameron street-Mr. William Stewart.
His sisters were noble workers for the
Boys in Grey Miss Mile Stewart
often went with me to the prisoners.
This town is the home of one of my
prison acquaintance, now our Con
gressmtn, General Robert NELL. He
is now at home and will go back in a
few days. Another citizen OF our town
and the editor of one of our papers
goes also. ! will take pleasure in show
ing them the GAZETTE. If l could
only give them one hundredth part of
my love for old Alexandria you would
have no trouble in getting them 10 To-
cate there. Respectfully,
Mrs. KATE HOOPER.

HOUSE.

There was rather good attendance
in the House this morning.
On motion of Mr.. Martin ION the
committee on invalid pensions, a reso-
luton was adopted calling on the Secr,-
tary of the Interior TO- Information as to
the number ofinvalid pensions granted
during the year ended September 90,
1898, and the number of applications
rejected.
Mr.. Mercer asked for the immediate
consideration of resolution directing
the committee on invalid pensions to
investigate whether any employees of
the Pension Bureau are travelling as
detectives to the detriment of old vet
eraps.
Mr.. Livingston objected.
Ajoiut resolution was passed tender
ing the thanks of the United States 10
the governments which generously and
effectively participated in the Worlds
fair.
The bank bill went over without
action.

This confidence did not make Harry

Harry was silent and gloomy on tue
ride, but Grace was very happy, and
talked on ceaselessly.
Isn't everything beautiful? don't

ever could be again. she said, looking

He Put his hand in his pocket and
drew out a little Morocco case and
threw it into her lap.

less you'll put that on.'.'
Grace opened the case, laughing.
This was the way Will had begun, but
some way it did not seem the same at
all.
A diamond sparkled out from the
blue silk lining. This is not the same
either. She put it on and held out her
hand to him.

THE action of the House in voting for
the repeal of the Federal election laws
marks the redrawing of the sharpest
party line between the Democratic and
the Republican organizations. On pretty
much all the other issues before the peo-
pie the parties divide within party lines,
the best defined next to the Federal elec-
ton law question being the tariff issue.
1t remains to be seen, however, if there
is sufficient in the election law issue upon
which to align anew the great national
parties and lead each in a national
campaign irrespective of other issues. 1t
is not to be determined now just what
will be the result of this sudden sharpen
ing of party lines. 1t may result in the
defeat of the silver purchase repeal bill
1t will no. affect positions upon the tariff
question. If the Democracy pushes its
election bill repeal policy further, it will
have cause to regret it. 1t has squareIy
affronted the sentiment of fair play in
this matter, and reasserted States rights
doctrine that cannot command the ma
jority of the country. The sentiment has
rather intensified than diminished in the
last few years that the Nation needs to
assert its right to supervision in elections
in which its officers are chosen, to the
extent of assuring all voters of their in
alienable rights.

will, perseverance and unequaled spirit
of her people, whose faith in the city has
at no time faltered, and who have never
hesitated at any and all legitimate means
to improve, build and push the city.
Let Sacramento people who think there
is danger of too much push and energy
manifest here at times, take Chicago as
an example and the splendid spirit of her
people as q model.
Sacramento can never be Chicago, but
the same faith in the city, the same bold
ness, energy and determination manifest
here as there, can do for this city such
wonders in brief time as will amaze the
slower-going communities, and speedily
make this city one of the foremost of the
coast.
We have been waiting too long for
someone to do for US; too long leaning on
institutions to help us that we do not and
cannot control: too long putting off the
day when we must do for ourselves.
What we need, in short, is to cultivate
the spirit of self-helpfulness. Within a
year we have quiokened to more rapid
and independent pace; let US not only
keep it up, but increase its speed.
1t is one of the very best remedies for
hard times to prove our capacity to rise
superior to them. We are setting the
cities of the State a fine example now,
but the edge of benefit will be dulled if
we relax energy.
