Why misrepresentation should be so
general in republican newspapers, as
to the number of fourth class postmas-
tiers appointed, when it is SO easy to
get the official figures is one of those
things that are difficult to understand.
The republican postmasters cannot be
fired OUT too fast for the average
democrat and it would therefore when
viewed through party glasses be rath-
CT creditable than otherwise to Mr..
Maxwell had he exceeded the record
OF Mr.. Clarkson in putting in repub-
lIcans four years az ago, but he has
not come up to that record by Il long
shot. as will be seen from the figures
below. During the first two months
of the Harrison administration 5, 1O4
fourth class postmasters were appoint
ed, while the number appointed during
the first two months of the pres
ent administration only reached 1884,
of which 1855. were made to fill va
cancies caused by resignation and
death. SO you see only 1909 republic
cans were removed, against 8. 496 dem
ocrats by ClarlSson in the same period.
Brother Maxwell may largely increase
his speed in making removals without
offendini any good democrat. The
record OF Presidential postmasters APP
pointed during the periods stands

Special Correspondence.

As rule the sentiment of Ameri-
can business men and of American
people generally Is strongly in favor
OF the payment of debts, but the last
Congress has flown squerely in the
face OF this honorable sense of moral
duty in repudiating obligations of the
Government which are of even hjpher
weight and sanction than it's bonded
debt.
Under the act of Congress Of Janu-
airy 20, 1885, the French spoliation
claims We're referred to the Court Of
Claims in order to determine whether
or not the Government was responsible
for their payment. After the fullest
argument and reargument by the So
licitor. general the court decided that
certain Of these claims were released
to France by the treaty of 1900 in SET
Element OF the demands OF France upon
the Government of the United States
Tor Its failure to keep the treaty of
l77o. under which France secured to
us our independence; that the release
OF these claims, which were always
acknowledged by France, was use of
private property for public purposes,
and that under tee provision OF the
Constitution giving just compensation
Tor private property SO used such OF
the claims as have been tried and al
lowed are valid obligations Of the
United States
For number OF years, especially
when the government was dcrelict in
furnishing supplies as stipulated nm
der treaties, the Indians committed
depredations on the settlers in the
West and South. Year after wear. as
the neglect OF the government to keep
its treaties with them continued, the
savages plundered and murdered these
frontiersmen who stood between them
and civilization. Afterward stat
ute was passed empowering the In
terror Department to examine each
case and report it to Congress with
recommendations as to the amount
due. At great expense these sufferers
then filed the evidence to establish
their losses, and as a rule the depart
ment recommended payment Of about
oae-half the actual loss sustained.

tanned their judgments only to have
taem repudiated by Congress.
Under different acts OF Congress the
claims of loyal citizens in the South
for stores and supplies taken and used
by the Union forces for their subsis-
nee have been referred to the Court
of Claims. and upon full trial, with
the question of loyalty as a jurisdic-
tional issue, the court has judicially
d determined that they are valid obliga-
ii ons of the United States to the ex-
t mt of some hundred thousands Ct
dollars.
All of these obligations were repu-
dated by the last House, which rerus-
ed to appropriate the necessary funds
to pay them.
In addition two judgments OF the

where twenty or more persons are en-
ployed. school houses and other places
where people congregate. built after
that date must open outward and not

buildings having doors swinging in
ward must be altered within six months
after the date named. Exemplary
punishment is provided for violators
OF this law. which is designed to les

"fhe press OF Mississippi is con-

supported as it should be by those who
are in position to do so.
I'VE have frequently picked up a
paper in Mississippi without single

ments, vet the town in which it is
published had from eight to Il doz n
stores. besides the usual quota of other
business. We have visited county
seats with a population larger than
That of Ida Grove, and found but one
newspaper published therein, it being
printed upon an old lever press, CON
tanning only two or three home adver-
tisements.
Magnolia, Miss, has population
OF 200, or about the size of Ida G. owe.
and while the latter has three large
newspapers, the former has but one.
There are nearly so columns of home
advertisements in the three Ida Grove
papers and only about four in the
Magnolia paper. Now let us compare
the patrons. In Magnolia is IL very

Is the printing office. containing very
able and worthy editor, with good
printing outfit. This merchant wanted
everal thousand counter cash slips
printed short time ago, and sent to
New Orleans for prices. He then goes
in the printing office and gets prices,
which are only fifty cents higher than
New Orleans prices. but he sends the
job to the latter place. There are
other equally provoking instances taat
have come TO our attention. With
that class Of people is it any wonder
the State is so years behind? If that
Magnolia editor had sent off to New
Orleens to get his wife q dress, and
had he done SO would have saved $3.
this man Atkinson would have stormed
into that printing Office and demanded
a higher rental, or get out. There are
too many just such parallel cases as
these in Mississippi.

| (From Our Regular Correspondents !
| President Cleveland is being impor-
tuned TO call an extra session of con-
gress, and the presence of ex-speaker
Crisp in town started rumor that he
had SO decided. If he has he has not
made the decision public. There is
little doubt that Mr.. Cleveland would
call an immediate extra if he knew
that 1t would promptly repeal the
Sherman Silver law, but OF that he is
not certain and a refusal to repeal
! might have bad effect oil the finan-
clal situation, which has not been af-
tected by the Wall street excitement
during last week. Many democrats
express the opinion that it would be
the proper thing at this time to call
an extra session and throw the respon8
siolllty OF maintaining the govern
ment credit upon Congress, but thew
also express their confidence in the
Presidents ability to do the right
thing.

afternoon, when farmer friend of his
came in.

sorry you are so hard up. I will give
you my paper"
mo, no! can't take it as gift.''

Yes, few; but they don't bring
anything, bardly.''
Don't they? Neither does my paper
cost anything, hardly. Now 1 have a
proposition to make to you. will con-
tinue your paper, and when you 90
home you may select from your lot one
young hen and call her mine. Take
good care of her, and bring me the
proceeds. whether IN eggs or chickens,
and will call it square,"
"All right" and the farmer chuckled
as he went out at what he thought a
very clever bargain. He kept the
contract strictly, at the end of the year
found that he had paid about four
prices for his paper. He often tells the
joke on himself. and says he never had
