tho people Of his realm are to be
trusted, and he proposes to see that
they have an opportunity to evince
their confidence in his government
and its humanity and care for the
people. II the Gar does not give
himself a sacrifice to his faith then
will both Russia and himself be
entitled to the congratulations Of
all christendom on the blest result.
The beautifully impressive
"Memorial Service" of the Benevo-
lent and Protective Order of Elks,
held at the Grand opera house on
Sunday, was most suggestive. This
"Memorial Day" service is one Of
those beautiful and appropriate
customs that are altogether too
rare in this administrative and
austerely practical present. Its
universally of observance is not
the least characteristic Of its insti-
tuition, bringing together at one
s)lemn hour, as it does, the whole
sympathetic heart Of the widely
dlffused brotherhood and bowling
it in one common sorrow at the
graves of it's departed. This an
nual gathering in spirit around the
tombs of its dead, and Offering the
sacrifices of tender remembrance
and fearful regret upon the altar
OF their memories, covers with
a mantle of the broadcast hui
mainly the railties Of all
within Earth's narrow house,
while it exalts their virtues
and strongly inspires their emula-
ton. 1t serves to keep alive in all
hearts the sense of brotherhood,
and carries its recognition beyond
the walls of sense into the I'M
known. In the softening presence
of such a memorial the bald ma
teri alism of this present loses its
harsh outlines and the invisible,
that we see not nor sense with the
grosser organs of flesh, comes very
near to earth with scarce separat-
ing wall between. In instituting
such a yearly memorial the Elks
have devised wisely and well, for
in it they have preserved the di-
vinest sympsthies of the present,
while casting all the light of hu-
man hope around that vast un-
known from which none e'er re-
turn.

AS to Appointments. - --s.,..

Some Democrats are disposed to
complain that the present Admins
trAtion is entirely too slow in turning
out Republican office holders and put
ting in Democrats. A glance at the
figures will show that these complaints
are not well founded. From the New
Orleans TimeS-Democrat we gather our
figures
Presidential pos'masters appointed
by Cleveland, March 4, 1885, to Jan
unry rs, 1886, 946.
~ Harrison, March 4, 1889, to jan
uary 26. 1890, 1890.
By Cleveland, March 4. 1898, to Jam
uary 26, 1894, l, $40.
These figures show that President
Cleveland has been doing nearly twice
az we'll as he did in his first term In
deed he has done much better even
than these figures show, for there are
now hung up in the catacombs of the
Senate something over 700 nomina-
tions, large part of which are for
postmasters. In New York alone
forty Republican postmasters are
holding over solely because Of Senator
Hills personal luminosity to the Presi.
dent.
Furthermore, in the matter Of fourth
class postmasters. the present admin
istration has made splendid record.
During his first administration this
class was appointed at the rate OF 300
month and Vice President Stevenson
achieved great popularity on account
of getting the credit of running the
! guillotine on express time. Harrison's
administration outdid him, however
by turning out Democrats at the rate
of 1900 month. But the present
administration has out stripped both
of them and made q record of 1000 q
month. From March the 4th, 1893, to
January the Goth, 1894, 81 1923 Repub.
licans have been turned out by Post.
master General Bissell and he is still
at it.
There is every reason for believing
that but for the unseemly wrangling
among the applicants a great many
more appointments would have been
| made long ago. 1t thus appears by
the figures that President Cleveland
and his postmaster general are pretty
good Democrats after all.-KnoGvillt

Editor CoMET-DEAR SIR 1t has
been mentioned in this neighborhood
that the Three C's railroad intended
to extend its line into North Carolina
this summer, and I write you to give
you some few reasons why it would be
advisable. I think it would almost
double the receipts of the road If il
was extended, say as far as the mouth
of Cane River in Yancy county, which
will only be about 81 or 8 miles be,
yond the state line, the present term.
mus. The grading is partially done
or about IL miles of this distance
now, ~. there is no very heavy work
on the whole distance, all side cutting
and easy to move. If the road was
completed to that point then all the
freight of Mitchell and Yancy counties
would enter and leave over this road
which now either has to be hauled to
Asheville or Johnson City from 80 to
As miles. To one like myself who has
been all over this territory we know
what large amount of freight it will
give to road, and with terminus
at Cane River all this will be shipped
from there as it will save the crossing
of the mountains. The timber and
lumber alone that will be shipped
from the two counties will pay for the
constructions of the road, when you
get on Cane River and its creeks, you
are among the finest yellow poplar
ash and cucumber forest in the United
States, and there is only one outlet
