George T. Pulaski is not letter-carrier. for
the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia
has 50 decided He may engage IN any other
legal occupation without let or hindrance, but
his brief connection with the postal service has
come to an end. The case has excited much
more than local interest and the decision Is in
many respects important. In August Of last
year Mr.. Pulaski was examined by the Civil
Service Commission for admission to the eligi-
BILE list as letter-carrier in the city post office
He passed, but with an average Of only 7l.i3
On January % Pulaski. with two other
eligibles, was certified to the city postmaster
who selected one of the others. On February
20 the postmaster. being in need Of a substitute
carrier, chose Mr.. Pulaski, who at once quall>
fed and went to work But In the meantime
on February There had been another ex-
animation, and a result there were added TO
the eligible list the names OF several persons
whose averages were many per cent higher than
Pulaski's When the commission found out
how Pulaski was appointed it demurred and
notified the postmaster that IL was irregular
and must be cancelled, which was done. Then
Mr. Pulaski requested reinstatement, and both
the postmaster and the commission refused.
the former because the commission had i'll
structed him to. the latter because the original
appointment was a violation of its rules and
therefore of no effect Whereupon MIR.
Pulaski petitioned for a mandamus which
Sould compel reinstatement, and it was thai
petition which the court this morning refused.
Mr. Pulaski has had hard luck and is certainly
entitled to sympathy. but, as has been stated
he cannot carry letters for Uncle Sam
But aside from the personal feature Of thu
case there is in the decision much of genera

Within a few days this country, which is now
looking lazily over the top of its spectacles at
the outflow Of gold, will wake right up and pro-
coed to celebrate the Fourth Of July. That
will be tie day of the toy pistol and the torpedo
and the Roman candle and the pin wheel and
the small boy. Ordinarily the American boy
may be trusted to care for himself, and as rule
he reports regularly for meals. no matter what
may have happened in the interim. but when
the American boy and the toy pistol become In
innate with each other this country invariably
loses a budding citizen who might in the course
Of time have become President of the United
States or a policeman or an ice-dealer or some
,ther great potentate The most verdant of
crab apples, the least ripened of peaches may be
and frequently are defed with wonderful sue
cess, but the toy pistol is conqueror and lays
low the frames of those who have triumphed
over childhood's ills and who laugh to scorn all
other efforts Of the allegorical being whose rapid
progress is supposed to be due to the feetness
of the pale horse which he bestrides. Buy the
boy a sufflciency Of fireworks, indulge him tc
the extent Of a balloon or two il necessary, give
him the material with which to make the festiva
arnulti-colored success. but as you dislike 10 do
business with the undertaken see that the DO!
has no toy pistol.

With no other idea than to clinch its record
for efficiency The STAR directs attention to the
work it did yesterday in connection with the
findings Of the coroner's jury as to the old
Ford's Theater disaster. Through TIE STAR 8
first extra the public received the earliest noti-
fation of the jIry's decision to hold Ainsworth,
Dant, Covert and Sasse; the second extra con-
irmed the unofficial announcement and gave
the first information Of the true verdicts rem
dition; the third extra first gave to the public
the text Of the verdict and other matter of in
terest in connection with the conclusion of an
inquiry in which every citizen was interested.
All Of this information accurate-it was
the only accurate information on that subject
published in this city yesterday evening-and
the public appreciates that fact. The STAR
does not attempt to deceive its patrons with
extras that have in them nothing more thar
the vain imaginings of irresponsibility, and
that draw on a defective second-sight and in
accurately anticipate the news of the future
it does not print before o'clock misleading
description of scenes that materialized in othel
shape an hour later; it does not indulg'
in fake methods, deceiving and disgusting
the public. and discrediting local journalism
But it does print the news-the honest. reliable
news, and it invariable does that in advance o
its contemporaries.

anything else that Mr.. Nordhoff cared to de-
nominate it. SO long as a condition OF pro-
tectorate existed with reference to Mr.. Nord-
hoff his protectors being the paramount
Georgian and body-guard Of two Kanaka po-
licemen all was reasonably well. but there sud-
denly arose above the saltwater horizon a
cloud. This cloud-large and portentous-was
the probability of Minister Blount's speedy de-
parture for the land of the free and the
home of the brave, and from be-
meath the shadow of that dread happening
the hapless Nordhof-duly supported by the
two policemen-turns his face toward the White
House. via The Golden State, and shrieks for
help sit is well-known," echoes the Herald,
'.tha. Mr. Blount went to Honolulu on special
mission of exceptional importance, and that
having successfully fulfilled that he is DESTROYS
of returning home. This he is certainly en-
titled to do, but it is vitality important that he
should remain at his post until his successor
arrives, and also that his successor be a man
well fitted for the position" The republic and
Hawaii can endure the shock Of separat ion be-
tween Blount and Hawaii, but it is it appears OF
vital importance to Nordhoff that Blount. his
protector should not desert him. Why should
Blount AID Nordhof be parted? Let them re-
turn together from Hawaii to America hand in
hand. and the blessings of everybody will be
showered upon them.

Senator Butler of South Carolina declares
that he has no intention of asking Mr.. Cleve-
land to appoint ANYBODY to any place. If Mr..
Cleveland should ask for his ideas they will be
placed at his service, but they will not be OBJ
truded. Constituents who desire to serve their
country viii have their claims presented, -
only this and nothing more. There is no doubt
that this conception of senatorial duty will
meet with the Presidents entire approval II
is true the announcement did not come as early
as it might have come, but it is a graceful and
sensible declaration none the less. The ques-
ton of whether it springs from condition or
a theory is one that has nothing to do with the
/ case.

A seven-year old boy was killed by cable

unnecessary. Had the grip car been equipped

wheat WAS ripe and boavy. in some places badly
tangled ana lying down, but both machines were
GIVEN a thorough trial. The Mccormick binder
won every point, dong better work. making
fewer stops, and showing lighter draught IN
every particular. The lOOkers-On were highly
pleased with the work. and the McCormics peo-
Die are correspondingly proud Of their machines.
Major Cowan's daughter served the crowd with a
delightful Ian neon, and all pronounced this the
best part Of tho days programme.
