THE CHARLESTON posToTFIoE.

An Effort to OF Captain MoWhortcr's
Scalp Before His Term Expires.
Special Dfspaich to he I~pelgaeu.
CHARLESTON, W. Va, March 0.-Not-
withstandlng President Cloveland's we'll
known policy in regard to changes in
public offices, a special effort is being
made TO secure the early removal Of
Capt. II. G. McWhorter, the postmaster
OF this place. Governor MacCorkle and
Hons. W. A. 0hIey, w. Il. Chiffon and
John MCGOWAN left on the early train
this morning for Washington in tho in
forest OF General Watts, but it is about
settled that the Charleston p~ostotice
has something to do with their visit.
Charges OF gross negligence in the dis
charge OF official duties by Captain Me-
Whorter have been made, and it is said
are now in the hands OF Congressman
Anderson.
The Charleston delegation will not
neglect to call attention TO these facts
while attending to their business in the
interest OF General Watts. 1t is said
that several dissatisfied Republicans
have endorsed tho request for the early
removal OF Captain McWhorter. What
the result will DO it is difficult to fore
tell. 1t seems to be a settled TACT that
Mrs. Kcnna will receive the appoint,
ment when it is made. Captain Nc.
Whorter's administration OF the office
has been generally satisfactory, but it
seems that his scalp is wanted and an
effort will be made to secure it MS one of
the earliest trophies OF the late Demo-
cratic victory.

Another Gentleman Just from the
Recent Seat of War-Good PotutS in

Yesterday afternoon an INTELLlGEN-
cER man had a chat with NJ. j. o'KSns

Charleston was chronicled yesterday,
Mr.. O'Kane expressed himself, aS did
Mr.. ImhoR, as very much pleased with
their treatment in Charleston, but were
glad 10 get back home-lust as any fam
lily man prefers his freside, however
hospitable his entertainment may DO
by strangers,
"How do you size up the session OF
the legislature2' asked the reporter OF
Mr.. o'Kane.
swell" he answered, &" think We did
very well, because VIC passed very few
laws. The trouble heretofore has been
too much legislation"
GLOW about that school tax bill2"
"That was a great fight 1t was not
a political matter. You know Ohio
county pays the greatest amount OF
school taxes to the state, while Hhe
virtually supports an independent
school district. The bill that was
passed increasing this tax Ave cents was
up before almost every Legislature that
ever met, hut failed to pusa until this
one. II would have been unfair to the
populous centres had it become a law.
1t would have drained Ohio county to
ut least the extent Of $4,000 to $4,000.
IL was really the fad OF country school
teachers, who wanted their schools sup
ported at the expense Of other localities,
who besides supporting their own
schools were contributing largely to
those who could not hold up their own
end. This was the condition that con-
fronted US, and VIC were not long in
petitioning the governor TO veto 1t. he

fusion OF the advocates Of the measure.

REFUSE THE EMAN
The Roads Ccntering in Chicago WIN n
Concede an Increase of Wages,

The Roads CcnteTing in Chicago WIN Not
Concede an Increase of Wages.
CHICAGO, March 0.-The board Of
general managers Of the roads center
ing in Chicago has made up its mind
that the demands OF the switchmen for
an increase in wages cannot be granted,
The decision was reached at the
meeting held yesterday and tho general
manager Of each road at 8 o'clock his
afternoon impaired the information to
the committee representing the men on
his line. Whether tho men VIII strike
is not yet certain, But whether they
do or not there is no doubt that the
roads are firmly allied together and
better prepared to meet the difficulty
than any time in recent years.
/ Every road running into Chicago is
in the agreement and it will be made q
common fight against what are consid-
cred the unjust demands Of the Lien.
The reasons for declining the de-
mauds OF the men are given in the fol-
lowing circular, which IL the reply
which was given to the men by the gem
eral manager OF each road:
"In answer to your application for an
increase OF wages, l beg to hand you a
copy OF a resolution adopted at q meet
ing of the general managers association
of Chicago, on Wednesday, March 8,
1893, and to advise you that tor reasons
contained therein, this company must
respectfully decline to grant any in,
crease over tho present schedule OF
rates. The following is the resolution:
"Respved, That this association has
carefully examined the schedule OF
wages paid by the Chicago roads to
foremen and helpers in switching, and
that it finds thatthe scale of wages paid
on all Chicago lines is practically un-
form; and we find that the switchmen
OF Chicago and vicinity are paid the
highest rate ever paid for a similar ser.
vice, and higher than is paid in many
localities,
Further, that the revenue from
freight and passenger traffic has con-
stantly increased to the extent that no
advance in wages can be granted, and
that no change can be made from the
present schedules OF rules affecting the
compensation OF men engaged in this
service"
