THE REPUBLICAN BALL
ROLLS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN NEW YORK.
 TOM REED THE SPEAKER.

NEW YORK, Oct. 13.--The republicans of New York city started the ball of the com- ing election rolling tonight at Cooper's union. Ex-Speaker Thomas E. Reed was the chief orator of the meeting, which wos under the direction of tbe republican county committee. M
 The doors of the big meeting hall were announced to be thrown open at o'clock, but long before that time surging crowd fought and jostled for admission.
 Five minutes after the doors were opened there was not vacant seat, and hundreds of persons lined the corridors and aisles.
 The hall was decorated all over with United States flags. In the center of the platform was suspended portrait of Levi r. Morton, the republican candidate for governor, while portrait of Senator Sex ton, the republican candidate for lieuten- ant-governor, was placed in front of tho platform. sass @
 Mir. Reed came upon the platform few minutes before 8 o'clock. The moment he was seen pushing through the crowd a mighty cheer arose and the entire audience stood on it's feet and cheered wildly. "Three cheers for our next president, Tom Reed, shouted somebody on the plat form and every body in the hall responded.
 MT. Reed bowed again and again his acknowledgement ts to the audience.
 The name of Senator Hill was received with hissing whenever it was mentioned.
 Governor Stevens, who made the pre- liminary engagement for the meeting, in- troduced William Brookfield, ex chairman of the republican state committee, as chair man of the meeting.
 Mir. Brookfield made 0 short address and introduced John K. Vanwormer as the sec- retary of the meeting.
 Chairman Brookfield then introduced the Hon. Thomas B. Reed to the meeting. 'It is un necessary for me, - he said, ''to say anything about him, for you all know him well.' -s5.4#sa.s.= ss
 MT. Reed came forward to the front of the platform amid the widest enth usiasm and addressed the meeting.

STATE EQUALIZATION.
Some of Our Leading Thinkers Heartily IEdorse tho Age-
 Herald's Suggestion.

Samuel l.. Robertson, county tax asses- sor-The present system of assessment needs revision. Something must be done. I think the principle or requiring man to give in his property is wrong. The prop erty should be assessed, not the man. The property can always be found, while the man is often 'sunknown.' If man re- fuses to give in his property under the present law, 1t is assessed to owner un- known. This is beating about the bush. The system needs radical revision, and think the AGE HERALD's suggestion of a state board of assessment and equalization a good one. All the counties should be put on the same level.
 Senator John T. Milner-I have been studying the tax question. The legisla- ture must do something. think the Ohio plan of a state board good one, and l will thoroughly investigate it and act accord ingly.
 Judge Head--There is no doubt but that great deal of property, escapes taxation, and a state board would serve to equalize the burdens.
 Frank Hewitt think that each pre- cinct should have an equalizer, who should report to the commissioners court, and the missioners' court to a state board of equalization. In this way the system of assessment would be much improved over the present plan. The precinct equalizer should be good man, and one familiar with the value Of the land, the amount of property, etc., in his district. His report to the commissioners court would be as near the truth as possible to get. The commissioners' court at present cannot proceed on personal knowledge, but only in general way.

CHIEF JUSTICE BLECKLEY

or THE GEORGIA SUPREME COURT RESIGNS.
 TOO MUCH WORK. 2
 ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 13.-Judge Logan B. Bleokley, for years chief justice of the su- preme court of Georgia, has sent his resig- nation to the governor, ascribing as his reason for so doing the fact that the work of the supreme court is too heavy for three judges, 8 fact which has twice been recognized by the general assembly, which submitted the proposition of an increase to five judges to the people, which proposition was defeated both times. q An amendment increasing the number of judges from three to five was voted on in the recent Georgia election, and was lost by close majority. The judge says that he does not feel that 1t would be right to wear himself out at such laborious work as is required in the demand that three judges should do the work which would be great undertaking for five. He therefore resigns. @@4
 The state legislature convenes on the 24th instant and will elect his successor and also the successor of Justice T. J. Sim mons, whose term expires.

ALBANY, N. Y., Oct. 18.-The return papers in the appeal to the court of appeals in the case of Joitn Y. McKane, who is now doing time in Sing Sing for violations Of the election laws in Gravesend, Kings county, were filed with the clerk of the court today. McKane appeals to the court from the sentence of the Kings county courtI of oyer and terminer, which sent yers can agree the case, by stipulation, may be heard before this term of court,
 but 1t is probable that it will not be argued until the next term of the highest tribu-

OUR .POSTOFFlCE.
What Is Done by Uncle Sam's En- ployes-Packages and Letters
 Handled, Receipts, Etc.

There was an increase at the Birmingham postoffice the past quarter of S1500 in re- ceipts over the same quarter of last year, and an average of 12 ,00O letters are now be- ing mailed daily. It is also complained by the clerks that an average of three letters day are mailed without address, and at least ten day without stamps. This latter fact either signifies the absence of mind or the absence of "purchase price.''
 A letter was recently mailed from this office without address. When it turned up at the dead letter office and was opened these words were found: .'Here's your " Willie. Much obliged.'' And that was all. It is whispered that the boys had a tea.
 More packages are lost in transit than letters, due to the carelessness with which they are arranged. We are informed that day never passes without letters coming through the mails containing loose silver money.
 The Birmingham postoffice employs six teen carriers and fourteen clerks, pays all it's employees from it's receipts in addition to seueral of the mail cerks' salaries on the railroads running into the city, numer- ous drafts from other offices and still re- mits each week large sum to the sub treasury at New Orleans. Eight hundred and twelve outside offices deposit their bal ance due theA government here. Of these 655 have already made remittances for the quarter ending September 30.
 About 1900 special delivery letters are re- ceived monthly. The money order depart- ment remits from $2000 to s3000 daily. The registry department handles a constantly increasing number of packages. No mail matter of any kind is allowed to be delayed over mail. Even the newspapers do not miss 8 train once year.
 Forty mails are received daily, and the same number dispatched. These are ia addition to horse mails for country offices without rail connections.
 Birmingham's postoffice is in keeping with all her institutions-in the front ranks

What is Eczema :?
It is an agony of agonieS. A torture of tortures.

H io oAA cSNiiy VI "SCAAASo'
 A torture of tortures.
 It is an itching and burning of the skin almost beyond endurance.
 It is thousands of pin-headed ves- icles filled with an acrid fluid, ever forming, ever bursting, ever flowing upon the raw excoriated skin.
 No part of the human skin is exempt.
 It tortures, disfgures and hunil- iates more than all other skin diseases combined.
 Tender babies are among its most numerous victims.
 They are often born with it.
 Sleep and rest are out of the question.
 Most remedies and the best phy- sicians generally fail, even to relieve. If CUTICURA did no more than cure Eczema, it would be entitled to the gratitude of mankind.
 It not only cures but
 A single application is often sufl cient to afford instant relief, permit rest and sleep, and point to speedy cure.
 CUTICURA works wonders because it is the most wonderful skin cure of modern times.
