our washington correspondents ''i''
vertently allowed the following state
ment TO get into one Of his dispatches
last week in speaking of the appointment
of Mr.. Yates as postmaster at Warren
ton:
This appointment is I'm the line Of the
courtesy extended TO Senators as 10 the
local offices al their places of residence
MIR. Yates was chairman of the Demo-
cratic party IN Fauquier county and did
excellent work during the last campaign,
turning his county from the Republican
column 10 the Democratic party's, and
with a handsome majority.
The statement IS wide Of the mark
and has reused the ire of one of Fau-
quier's most distinguished sons, who
writes as follows:
''Warrenton. Va, May 13.-Please keep
your Washington correspondent straight
about Fauquier. See what he says
of us in your paper Of the 18th. Eau

A rumor is current that the Emperor OF
Germany is seeking public Cancellation
with Bismarck. as a means of promoting
the return of members 10 the
Reichstag who will promote the
passage Of the Army bill. Whether
this report is true or not, or whether if
true. Bismarck would consent TO such a
reconciliation. the chances are that the
German people win never consent TO a
passage Of the Army bill They are tired
of the demands made upon the agricul-
tural classes 10y the military and besides
this. they apparently have am idea that
the young Emperor is hot-headed, and
that should he increase the army TO the
extent that he desires. he would, possibly
be looking out for some preteXt for war.
This they do not like. because. while they
are patriotic and courageous whenever
necessary, they naturally incline TO peace.

the title Of new book by a Western
author. This work is very much like a
