Previousness of a Former Postmaster.

PreviOusness of a Former Postmaster.
The funniest after election story is
told by Representative Hopkins, of Hi
nois. In his district is the little cross
roads postoffice of Ivanhoe, over which
in Ceveland's administration German
Democrat presided. When President
Harrison came into power Mr.. Hopkins
had the Democrat succeeded by leu
tonic Republican, who died about year
and a half ago. His wife was thereupon
appointed postmistress. On the day aft
er election the German Democrat APP
peared at the postoffice.
"Cleveland has won," he said with
accents of the fatherland and of triumph
delightfully."- mixed. 1.-The postoffice is
mine"
The widow, knowing that Cleveland
had been elected, and unsuspectingly
believing that her official career was
ended, did not object when her pred
ecessor brought a big wagon and
carried the entire contents of the post
office over to his store. He has been
acting as postmaster ever since.
Yesterday Mr.. Hopkins reported the
facts to the postoffice department, and
an inspector has been sent to convince
the enterprising Democrat of the error
of his way.-W Washington Post.

Coll.otipp Taxes from Indians.

County Treasurer Summerland is
having some difficulty in collecting taxes
on the property owned in this county by
the remnant of the Miami tribe of In
dams, the latter declining to liquidate
under the impression that they are not
obliged to contribute to the support of
the government. All have let the taxes
on their farms go delinquent, and when
the tax collector went out to obtain the
money they chased him off the premises.
He, however, made levy on live stock,
which would have been sold Friday had
the Indians not secured restraining
order from the circuit court.-Wabash

Honest Veterans Are for Pension Reform

Honest Veterans Are for Pension Reform.
Two dollars month to veteran who
was wounded and disabled in battle is
not enough, yet one of the best comrades
in the city, the commander of his post,
was getting that, and believing himself
entitled to more applied for an increase.
His application was refused. A fellow
who was not wounded during the war,
but got slightly injured in the leg by a
fall from horse, was rerated at thirty
dollars month by Tanner, and got
some $1,000 arrearages besides. We
know of other such cases which we hope
to see investigated and corrected. All
undeserving pensioners may well
quake; deserving pensioners need have
no fear.
If today every man and woman whose
name is ON the pension list were re-
quired to appear before the proper au-
thority, there to substantiate their claim
to pension by evidence that would be
admitted in any court of law, or be al
lowed by the most lenient of juries,
there would undoubtedly be great
many names taken from the list alto
gether and far greater number of pen
sioners reduced in amount.
The people should have this money
saved for them. We believe the incom-
ing administration will do it. No hon
est man should object. Assuredly no
fair veteran will do so.
The Gazette has always favored high
pensions for deserving veterans. If a
soldier in actual service was manned or
disabled so that his power to make
living for himself and his family was
gone or impaired, his loss or impairment
should be made good. That was the
purpose in granting pensions. So long
as the Republican party did that the
people sustained them.
When they left that safe ground and
embarked on a treacherOus sea of ex
travagance, taking aboard the great
army of claim agency sharks, they be-
gan to lose the confidence of the people.

WASHINGTON, June 29.-The
consultations between the Presi-
dent and the members of his Cabi-
net today caused considerable gos-
sip. Secretary Lamont had long
talk with the President in the fore
noon and during the time it lasted
the President would see no callers.
When Secretary Lamont retired the
Senator's and Representatives wait
ing to see the President were hope
full of obtaining an audience, but
Secretary Herbert appeared and be
and Mr.. Cleveland went into an
other long executive session. When
Secretary Smith relieved Herbert
there was q retreat On part of those
outside the Presidents doorway
Other members of the Cabinet were
also closeted with Mr.. Cleveland
during the day.
The report spread that Cleveland
was consulting with reference t.
the advisability of calling en- extr,
session of Congress earlier thar
September. but there was no foun
dation for the story. There is reason
to believe that Cleveland intend
to leave the city within few day
for long stay at Buzzsrd's Bay
and that he and his Cabinet officer
were merely arranging matters s
that he could leave.
A congressman is authority fo
the statement that Cleveland tol
him he would take up no new az
pointments while the financial que.
ton is at such critical point, br
would continue to issue commi
sions to candidates whose appoin
ments had been decided on.

a Wife Dead An Odd Explanation.
CHARLOTTE, N. c., June 29.-Spe-
cial.-Mrs. Elizabeth Ann Magill,
wife Of Mr.. 7. R. Magill, a promi-
nent citizsn OF this city, was found
dead in the we'll on Mr.. Magills lot
on East Fifth street early this morn
ing. When the cook reached the
house to prepare breakfast, she did
not find Mrs. Magill in her room,
but supposed that she was some
where about the house, and went on
with her duties. The porter at Mr..
Magill's store, who also does early
morning chores about the house,
appeared and went to the we'll to
draw water. Then it was that the
melancholy discovery was made
Assistance was at once secured
from the neighbors, and Mrs
Magills body was drawn from the
we'll. She was fully clothed in 8
dark dress. Her skull was crushed
in. It is believed that Mrs. Magil
had got up during the night and
had gone to the we'll for drink o1
water, and that while in the act O
leaning over and lowering th'
bucket, she was struck by the wind
lass and knocked into the we'll
That appears to be the most reason
able explanation, in view of tn
fact that for some time past sh'
had been in unusually good health
and spirits. She must have gon'
from the house after II o'clock, a
at that hour she went to Mr.. Ms

said that it was time to retire. Th

, known of the calamity that had be
