SET RIGHT AT LAST.
United Press Statement Contradict
ed by One of Its Newspapers.

NEW YORK, September 22-Here is a
fair Illustrate OF the mendacity of some
of the United Press newspapers. A few
days ago they published with a good deal
of flourish an inspired article from a
Rochester paper, charging the Associated
Press with sending forth unreliable news.
The article was a tissue of falsehoods and
was not deemed worthy of notice, But one
of the papers has been hoist by it's own
petard. fun0,oD, "a iss e-'-
From the United Press papers August &c,
1894:
''On July &c the Western. Association dhe
Associated Press) announced from Wash
ington that MIR. Tateno, the Japanese min
lister. had been recalled owing to, matters
growing out of recent treaty negotiations
Coming at a time when amicable diploma tic
relations between the United States and
eastern countries were especially to be de-
sired this statement caused futter Of ex-
element among those who relied upon the
news of the so-called Associated Press.
The public was correctly Informed however,
by the United Press dispatches that the re-
tirement of the minister was simple fol-
lowing out Of japanese diplomatic routine,
which embodies a system of itinerancy as
irrevocable as that of the Methodist Church
circuit. AS stated by the members of the
lega ton to the representative. of the United
Press. the recall has no connection what
ever with existing conditions or treaty ne
gotiations. 1t has simply been brought
about by rotatlon.''. rsras'
From the New York Tribune. Sepiember. 2l, 1894:
"On July 26 1t is announced that Coco
Tateno, the Japanese minister in Wash
ington, is recalled. No reason for such
step Is officially assigned, step which at
that stage of crisis in japanese history
excites unusual comment 1t is given out
at the State Department in that mysterious
manner which seeks to initiate the semi
official utterances of European govern
ments that the minister has fallen a victim
to the Vaccinations of cabal at home
that the civil service notions pre-
vailing in Japan demand rotation in office
every three years, though the victim of
this feeble official joke has been in WASH
ington more than four. In fact
the brain and ingenuity of the State De-
partment are employed to mislead the pub
lie and hide the real cause of Mr. Tateno's
disgrace.
1.-The cause is now we'll known. 1t could
not long remain hidden from a diplomatic
corps whose business ii Is to fathom lust
such mysteries as that which the State
Department sought TO throw around the
Tateno incident. Briefly put 1t was due to
the dissatisfaction felt at Toxic over the
failure of Mr.. TatenJ to negotiate a treaty
with promptness and dispatch Mr..
Tateno's failure.it will therefore be seer, was
something which the government at Toxic
was compelled to take note of-and-resent."

Mr.. TARSNEY is HOPEFUL
But One Democratic Congressman in Mis-
souri, Will Be Lost
People Disappointed With the New
Tariff Law, bat This Will Not
Affect the Elections.

Congressman Tarsney Of Missouri came
In from Kansas City this morning and is
registered st Willard's. Mr.. Tarsney, who
is a member Of the ways and means COM
mittee, has been through his state studying
the political situation from a democratic
standpoint and has closely observed the
temperament Of the people toward recent
legislation.
Il do not think there is q possibility Of
losing more than one democratic Congress
man." said Mr.. Tarsney to a Star reporter,
and even that Is not a certainty. refer
to the st. Louis district now represented by
ONeill. The situation there is very much
involved at present No nomination has
been made yet by the democrats, and II is
dimcult to make prophecy of the outcome
little while ago there was some doubt
ABOUT the democrats carrying the Joplin dis
trict and there were indications of trouble
ahead for us. but the situation has bright
ened and think we will be all right
disappointed With the Tariff Act.
How do the people feel toward the new
tariff law?" Mir. Tarsney was asked.
They are disappointed with it, no doubt
about that. 1t is not what they wanted
or what they expected. However, their dis
satisfaction does not extend to the point
of affecting the November elections. All
ment with the bill might lead to indiffer-
ence on their part toward the campaign
and cripple the purity in this regard, but
such has not proven to be the case.
Il attended a democratic meeting last
Tuesday at Lexington, and 1 never saw n
more enthusiastic gathering in any pre-
Vious campaign. Reports from all over the
state indicate the same feeling every
WHERE"
What is the outlook in your own dis
trict?" Mr.. Tarsney was asked.
Promising Outlook iu His District.
1T is as promising as ever before at the
opening Of ahy campaign. 1 was renomi-
mated virtually by acclaination. When
went home 1 announced that 1 was not a
candidate for denomination in the sense of
seeking 1t. The people knew as much about
me as l could tell them If they wanted
me l would take 1t, but would not ask for
1t. i never left my hotel to make any kind
of canvass. The convention met with
sixty-six delegates. / received 64 votes and
the two opposing votes were personal
enemies Of mine; one of them a disappoint-
ed off1ce-seeker. One feature of the cam
paign in my district Is the part taken in
1t by the A. p. A. They are making a
hight on me, but the result will benefit me
rather than otherwise. for their course is
cisor nizing the republicans and driving
the democrats right into line, solidly. The
A. +. A. has become solely a political or
SANITATION that is out for the spoils, and
the people are recognizing that fact"

SURRENDER POST rFncE, VIRGINIA.
Why the Name Was Changed From
AppomattOx.


The name of the post office at Appomat-
tox, Va, has been changed by the Post
Office Department to Surrender. Two years
ago the court house building at Appomattox
was burned, and the county seat was re-
moved to the town Of Nebraska, three miles
away, on the line Of the Norfolk and West
ern railroad. The new county seat was
named Appomattox. Thus there were two
Appamattoxes in the field. This occasioned
annoyance to the Post Office Department,
because complaints were constantly being
received of the miscarriage and consequent
delay of mail matter. The patrons of the
old post office of Appomattox petitioned for
change of name, and Ii is said at the de-
partment that the name Su-. lender was sug-
gested and urged by the Virginians them
selves. The department officials state that
the new name was approved by Gov. OFcr-
rail- and the Congressman from the Appo-
mattox district. Surrender is an office Of
very little moment in the amount of mail
passing through 1t. Reports have appeared
in several papers that the people of Nir-
ginia are dissatisfied with the new name.
The post office people do not see how this
can be true, as the name was adopted at
the instance Of those directly interested in
1t.

IN NORTH CAROLINA,
Mr.. Gardner Says Republicans and
POpulists Are Going to Pieces.

POpulists Are Going to Pieces.
Mr.. Lawrence Gardner who returned
from North Carolina this morning. says
that there are abundant evidences that the
republican and populist movements in that
state are going to pieces. The democrats,
he says. are in excellent shape, and there is
an interest and activity in the canvass
quite beyond that ordinarily shown. The
democrats are in high spirits and good Tight
ing trim. He does not expect the loss of a
single congressional district.
Senator Faulkner has gone to West Vir-
ginia to spend Sunday. The statement that
Harrity was at the democratic headquarters
and had a conference with Senator Faux
ner concerning the situation in Pennsyl-
vania is Incorrect. If Mr. Harrity was in
town yesterday he did not put in an ap-
pearance at democratic headquarters.

Stick to a Legitimate Business.

Well directed energy and enterprise
are the life of American progress, and
safety lies in sticking to a legitimate
business. No man - manufacturer,
trader or banker-has any moral right
TO be so energetic and enterprising as
to take from his legitimate business
the capita! which it requires to meet
an emergency.
Apologies are sometimes made for
firms who have failed by recurring to
the important experiments they have
aided. and the unnumbered fields of en-.
terprise where they have freely scat
tered their money. We are told that
individual losses sustained by those
failures will be as nothing compared
with the benefits conferred on the
community by their liberality in con-
tributing to every public work. There
is little force in such reasoning. A
mans relations to q creditor are vastly
different from his relations to what is
called the public. The demands of the
one are definite, the claims of the
other are just what the ambition Of
the man may make them.
The histories of honorably success
full business men unite to exalt the i'm
portance of sticking to legitimate
business; and it is most instructive to
see that, in the greater portion of the
failures, the real cause of disaster was
the branching out beyond legitimate
business, in the taking hold of this
and that tempting offer, and, for the
sake of some great gain. venturing
where they did not know III, ground,
and could not foresec the pitfall.
