FROM the fultonS
Because the Mexico Intelligence
favors electing postmasters it per
sists in misrepresenting Congress
man Bland when saying he favors
elections. Mr.. Bland does not
favor elections and cannot think tc
get an expression from the people as
to their choice for the place wher
from six to IS or 20 men and women
are running for the place. An cleo.
ton Of this sort savors too much oil
a free fight election. Mr.. Bland be-
lieves the people should have some
thing to say in selecting postmasters
and ne knows the chances are large
ly against the choice of the people
being selected from a large number
of candidates unless a primary and
election are held. Let two or three
men be voted for.

The ReveiHe, published at the Ma
tional Military Home in Kansas,
presents some wonderful figures in
regard to The Kelley Treatment
among the members. For the past
twelve months they report 531 pa
tients treated for alcoholism, opium
addiction and tobacco habit. The
percentage of loss was Z $500 per
cent. The report of the Governor of
the Home states that the saving to
the Government of the cured ones
who went outside to earn their own
livelihood amounts to $22, 1885, 80.
When it is taken into consideration
that the average age of these patients
exceeded 80 years, the percentage is
considered wonderfully small. The
U. S. Government adopted a wise
principle in placing DIR. Keeley's
remedies in the hands of the Cover
nors Of the Homes for disabled vol
unteer soldiers and sailors, and thus
enabled so many of them to step out
side and become bread winners like
the rest of US.

Postmaster Primaries q Failure.

RALEIGH, N. c., April 25.-
Al the Democratic primaries in this
city there was for the first time
an attempt to vote a choice for Post
master. The result is decidedly
negative and the plan has failed.
There are three aspirants for the
position and while one was active
in the primaries and had printed
tickets the others took no part. The
vote was exceedingly light, and IN
two wards no votes were cast. The
experiment will hardly be repeat
ed, and the Postmaster General
will probably make his selection in
the good old way. The matter has
excited considerable interest at

THE Wool MARKET.
The Prospects Not flattefing FOR
Advanced Prices ON Wool.
To the Editor Of the Laiser.

To the Eaiter Of the ledger,
MEXICO. Mo-, April 24.-The pros
poets for an active wool market with
firm and advancing prices for this
season are certainly not very tlatter-
ing. Commission merchants solicit
ing consignments generally advise
their consignors to forward and sell
as far rs purchases are made and use
the following arguments to support
their position:
The new wool season OF 1898 vii
open in all eastern markets bare Of
stocks; SO much SD is this n fact
that great numbers OF circulars from
wool houses are going out, advising
the shippers to insist on an early
shearing from their farmers, and to
forward, as soon as possible, their
wool. The whole curse Of next
seasons prices depends on tavora-
BILE or unfavorable tariff legislation,
and the only reason why it is advls-
able to operate early this year is the
fear of a d~emcralized market, should
manufacturers refuse to anticipate
to market, either in their raw stock
or finished goods. We have several
very large customers who are in
clined to believe that no radical
changes are contemplated, and that
woods will rule fully as high(taking
the ayerage) this year as they did
last; others take the pessimistic
view of lower prices, dull business
and a dragging market until all I'M
certainties of tariff changes are fix
ed by the passage of the laws gov
erning our business, which will I'M
doubtedly be put in operation as
soon as they practically car
AS against these statements and
arguments l append the following

J. C. Evans of Harlem, president

Missouri, returned last evening from
a trip to Olden. He says that the
late frosts have injured the Missouri
fruit crop and that it is useless to
deny it. Peaches especially have
been damaged. At the Olden Or
chards, however, the loss of peaches
will not be felt as the trees bloomed
in such %profusion that it would have
been necessary to have thinned the
fruit on the trees had not the frost
destroyed some of the blossoms.
