This is not a country where every man
is expected 10 take care Of himself, and
then lend his proportion Of aid to the

old fashioned theory and practice which
should not obtain now. We have

they are willing to run factories

Back From the Dead Letter once.

The average citizen is prone to de-
nounce the postofiice department and
everybody connected with it upon gen.
cral principles until he encounters a case
Of dead letter Office ingenuity and atten-
ton in which he is personally interested,
after which he is thoroughly convinced
that the postofiico department is the only
really good establishment conducted by
Uncle Samuel.
One of these fellows mailed a photo
graph to lady at Wilkesbarre some
weeks ago, and when it was not deliv-
cred to her he fairly boiled over in SIAN
dering the department. Last week he
received a nicely worded request to call
at room GO, postofice building, for "a
valuable letter" He called, and a most
polite young woman handed him the
missing photograph, which he had mis-
directed.
Glow in the world did you locate
mey he asked.
"Oh, the photographer, who was fur
nished with the number Of your mega
tive, supplied your name and address to
the dead letter Office, and the photo
graph was forwarded here for delivery"

handsome young ladies' in the south par

When General Lew Wallace was called
upon to speak at the reunion Of his old
regiment, the Eleventh Indiana. at the
recent Grand Army encampment at In
dianapolis, his feelings got the better OF
him, and he broke down in tears. There
were about a hundred Of the boys there,
and half Of them were crying too. After
awhile one fellow with horse sense pro-
posed three cheers for the old man, and
they were given in such way as to clear

Tho ElectrIc Fan WnItzed.

A diminutive electric fan in the Office
of the department Of public works was
located on a window sill. where it's noise
disturbed the clerks, and they placed it
upon q metal heater The instant the
current was turned on the electricity
performed q clog dance and waltzed the
fan all over the heater. All the time the
blue fluid flashed out in two foot lengths,
and the burning and whirring Of the
swift revolving wheel nearly caused a
stampede in the Office. But relief came
at last when the machine with mighty
effort, as if to get away from the heater,
danced off the side Of it and fell with a
bump on the floor, bringing the circus to
q close. Pittsburg Dispatch.

NoT A QuesTIoN oE VoTEs.

The Louisiana authorities are to inves-
tigate the recent lyncblng of three
negroes who would not tell where their
brother, who is a murderer, was con-
cealed There is no evidence TO show
that they knew where the murderer was,
but somebody had to be lynched. The
investigation is not expected to amount
to anything Morning News.
After the Italians OF New Orleans had
committed twelve or more assassinations
and finally murdered Lieutenant Hen
messy, mob arose. led by men Of charac
ter, wealth and intelligence, which broke
into the prison and lynched eleven men.
In Cincinnati when there were nineteen
men in prison for murder. and when it
was practically impossible to convict
man for any crime, mob arose which
destroyed 81, COO 600 worth Of property
and resulted in the death Of about eighty
persons. New Orleans and Cincinnati
have had peace and safety of life since
those Incidents.
II, which God forbid, the Neal case
we're repeated here now, Meals life
would not be worth the extraordinary
efforts that Senator Higgins made to
save it.
Times have changed, and the fright
full frequency Of the crimes of the
negroes have driven men to do a ven
geance that they would not think of,
but for the frequency of the crime
In this state Of affairs 1t is useless
to speculate on state Of affairs which
might exist, or which ought to exist
We must look at affairs as they are.
II the case referred TO by the News
co uld be considered alone, the white
people of Louisiana would deserve all
the condemnation a hypocritieal lover
Of the negro could heap upon them.
But this Is only one Of many cases.
The negro has become a terror White
women in New Jersey, in Pennsylvania
aud in Ohio are afraid to encounter him
One Of them assaulted white woman in
Fairmount Park Negroes have been
lynohed recently in New York, in
Michigan, in Ohio
Judged by this one crime the News is
right, from its standpoint Of love of the
negro; but in Louisiana, the white
people love the white people, and they
consider the condition Of terror in which
their wives aud daughters and judges
are compelled to live in those parishes
where the negroes, who are still semi
savage, outnumbsr the whites
This Is not a question Of votes for the
Republican party The News ought
not 20 treat It In that manner. It is q
question Of whether the two races car
live on perfectly equal terms-a thing
which two races never did before.

well known citizen last evening,
after the holding of the Hester Brown
inquest, asked an EVENING JOUREAL re-
porter If he knew how they summon a
coroner's jury in the rural districts in
Ireland OF course the reporter nc
knowledged his ignorance and the citi.
zen enlightened him In the matter.
The police in ireland, as stated in a
recent issue of the Saturday Review,
have various duties TO perform in addi-
ton to the ordinary police duty. Among
these extra duties they have to summon
the coroner's jury whenever such an &C.
cason arises.
As is the case here few, II any. like to
serve and therefore the "peelers," as
they are called. from the fact of Sir
Robert Peel being the initiative Of the
formation of the force, often have hard
time to find twelve men in country dis
trict. When you are summoned you are
obliged to attend or pay fine of 0
shillings for non appearance, although
there are no fees for the jury.
remember In one case, where a
policeman was drowned in quarry, and
suspicion rested on brother officer that
foul play had been used Three young
farmers were loading hay for the market
on dray, which is vehicle about
twice the length of a cart, and the
policeman made his appearance. Two OF
them started on a run and the third lay
down on the load Of hay and covered
himself up.
The policeman took in the situation at
orce and went TO climb up on the load
from the back His weight over bal
anced the dray and the load of hay up
set on top Of him, covering him entirely
except his head. The farmer got out
safely and, with the other two, put on
another load The policeman pleaded
but all in vain Finally, on condition
that he would not bother the farmers, he
was to be released
He was about half freed when he placed
a hand on two Of them andtherefore they
we're jurors The third gave a shove to
tie wheel and the peeler" was again
covered as before The farmers loaded
another load went to the barracks anc
reported that the summons server was
under the hay. Aid went TO him, full
