The Memphis Avalanche has no
fears of Democratic disgruntle-
ment before its face in this matter
of the stolen governorship. 1t
cites chapter and verse showing
how, when and where the law was
violated by the Turney adher-
ents and pours hot shot into the
stealers all along the line. For
this rebuke Of its party and its
declarations in favor Of following
the established law of the state
the Avalanche has covered itself
with credit and commended itself
to honest men Of all parties. 1t is
a real luxury in these piping times
of party to hear such preaching Of
the gospel of political decency, and
the LIGHT is not moved to this re-
mark because Turney happens to
be a Democrat, but because the
facts and the record and the unu-
sual procedures all declare the
Turney farce revolutionary.

All the proceedings Of Congress
emphasize the fact long ago pre-
dicted, that the session would not
be fruitful in legislation and the
members would be Largely content
to play at make believe law max
ing. 1t is only an excuse to pass
the time until the new members
take their seats. This is not to be
wondered at. The country repu-
dated this Congress so emphati-
cally that it is not in the nature of
things that they should enter
heartily into the matter of law
making. They know that they
have not the confidence of the
country and that it is useless to
try and regain it in the short time
that is left to them.

A pretty chameleon dance, under

Two comedians provided the

There is not single country in
the vast range Of our export trade
that has not turned the cold shout
der to this country since the pas
sage Of the Wilson bill, closing the
foreign markets to our meat, cattle
and food products and shutting us
up at home. The uniformity with
which this freezing-out policy is
pursued shows that it is the result
of concerted action and that the
world is pooling its issues against
these United States of America.
This is not an unmixed evil. 1t
should turn the eyes Of the true
craftsmanship inward to see the
real condition and provide reme-
dies. The path Of true statesman
ship points unerringly to the con-
cervation Of all our own forces Of
production, and not less unerring-
~ to Increasing manufactures in
this country as the means of sup.
plying to our production the mar
ket in which it will find its high
est and most certain returns.

This present municipal contest
is a free-and-easy, kind of go-as--
you-please. That is to say there is
no political principle involved and
the members of all political par
ties will range themselves on one
side or the other according to their
personal predictions. The real
tooth and toenail clawing has not
yet come on, but the promises for
a regular scrimmage are rather

1t Is not creditable to the great
state OF Indiana that so notable a
son as Schuyler Colfax Is left with
out monument or shaft to mark
his last resting place. He filled too
large place in the affairs Of the

his own state. The movement to
place a simple memorial stone at
his grave, appropriately marking

The agitation is coming in the
state Legislature over the enact
ment Of law requiring the pres
entation OF poll tax receipt as a
condition precedent to registration.
That may be wise, but it cannot
take the place Of an educational
requirement. This state needs a
general registration law and a pro-
vision requiring every voter to be
able to read his own ballot before
he can cast it.

DEAD LETTER OFFICE.
a Large Business Results from Misdi-
rected Letters.

"A Largo Business Results from Mssdi-
rooted Letters.
Very few persons know the extent OF
the operations of the dead letter Office
Of the post Office department. It is
known in a general way that misdirect-
ed letters are sent to the department in
Washington, where, if possible, they
are forwarded to the sender or the adj
dressee. The number of letters and
papers sent to the dead letter Office in
q year, says the st. Louis Republic, is
about $500, 900. OF these, $500, 900 are
what are called ordinary unclaimed
letters, 1856, GOO foreign letters misdi-
rected by people in the United States
to persons abroad, and about 80, 900 let
tiers written to fictitious addresses,
while 100000 letters in year are
mailed by people in other countries to
wrong addresses in the United States.
According to the last report more than
$4,000 letters sent to the dead letter
Office contained money amounting TO
more than 81, 500 ,00o. A majority Of tho
money and checks, etc, was returned
to owners. but last year 100000 IN
checks and notes and SIC, 600 in cash
remained unclaimed. The number of
parcels sent to this Office is not
large. More than SOC, 900 letters finding
their way to the dead letter Office
yearly contain photographs. A very
large proportion of the matter which
reaches the Office does not get there
because of defect in the post Office sys-
tenn, but because of carelessness OF
writer's. 1t would not be possible to
state the proportion in figures because
the technical distinctions of held for
postage" "misdirected," etc, include
letters which, while properly prepaid
and dispatched according to the adj
dresses, still fail of successful delivery
by reason of hasty and careless direc-
tons, confusion arising from Offices OF
the same name, etc. 1t is peculiar
fact that while many persons are eX-
trernely careful of their penmanship in
sending letters to persons who are IA
miliar with their writing, they are
negligent in addressing the
envelope which is to be read by persons

whose ability to read it is dependent

We had been taught that the best
quality of steel would always pick up
pieces of iron and steel by magnetism.
There was 4 particular file which the
old sInithy priced very highly, which ia
US boys seemed to be the very best
piece OF steel in the world. The man
iner IN which it would pick up the
horseshoe nails and bits of steel left no
doubt in our minds on this point Dur
ing the war my boss had a good deal OF
shooting to do for the army, and several
times Gen. Phil Sheridan had his horse
shod there. The old smithy was great
admirer of the general, so he brought
out the much-prized file to finish up tho
work.
Some yesrs later left the black.
smith shop to become a barber, and
shortly after learning my trade de-
cided to go TO Washington. Just before
going stole this file, determining to
