Salaries of PostofIice Department Some
what Cut Down.

Salaries of Postoffce Department Some
what Cut Down.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-The annual
report of Frank H. Jones, the first as
sistant postmaster general, gives re-
view of large part of the years postal
business Of the government and makes
numerous recommendations for the i'm
provement of the service. 1t shows
that during the last three fiscal years
the aggregate savings in the divisions
of salaries and allowances of postmas-
tiers were $545, 1894 in free delivery $2,-
314,415, and postoffice supplies of $2l8,-
$40; total 50, 278,9S5. For that period
there was an aggregate reduction of
5000, 1874 in the number of pieces of
mail sent from postoffices to the dead
letter office.
EXTRA SESSION PROBABLE
Mr.. Mckinley May Make Special Call
on Congress.
New YORK, Nov. 9.-"There will be
an extra session of congress called soon
after Major McKinley's Inauguration
next March,"
This statement was made to New
York World reporter by Mark A.
Hanna, who intimated that his author
ity is the president.elect.
Mr.. Hanna refused to go on record
concerning the probable makeup of the
Mckinley cabinet, but repeated his as
sertion that he would accept no posi-
ton or office within the gift of the
president.
Concerning the future policy Of Ma
jor Mckinley and of the Republican
party, Mr.. Hanna said:
Zone of the first problems to be
solved will be how to provide a suffi-
Gent revenue to carry on the govern
ment. The sale Of another lot Of bonds
would be dangerous proceeding, and
it will be adopted only as a last re-
uort.
"Of course, the president cannot Of
himself provide a revenue, and so the
next president will take the dilemma
by the horns and Immediately after his
inauguration will convene congress
and ask for revenue.providing legisla-
ton.
II have no doubt that new tariff
schedule will be provided, but it will
not be so radical as to derange business.
1t will be based upon the needs OF the
government"

Tribune was gem in its way 1t con-
sisted of many pagesllustrated with beau
tiful half tone engravings and wood cuts
of most interesting character The
views Of the city and some of the prnci-

city of Knoxville to great advantage
The history of the city, with pictures of
its mayors from it's foundation to the
present time, is readable and interesting
article Knoxville is over 100 years old
and the history of its growth is one of
sure and steady progress. 1t now has n
population of over 40, 900, which is stead
lily increasing. It's railroad co: nections
are ample for much greater expansion.
and its industries form a very interesting
feature in themselves. Until we saw the
splendid edition of the Tribune of the 10th

progressive the city of Knoxville was

IGNoBLE POLITICAL METHODS.

Mr.. Bryan's opponents, when he was
first nominated for President by the Chi
cago convention, admitted with great
unanimity that his private character
was pure and unassailable. That he was
member of the Presbyterian Church in
gooh standing no one disputed; that he
was faithful to all his vows as man and
citizen was not denied. All his private
virtues were conceded, or not at all dis
puted by his opponents, until his phe-
nomenal success in winning over the peo-
pie to his financial. views excited the
jealousy and envy of his political oppo
nents, when the walls of malice and false
hood were turned loose upon his devoted
head 1t was only after his New York
speech (when it became apparent that,
unless some herculean efforts be put forth
he would be elected President by the
people in November) that the poisoned
arrows of malice were turned upon him.
Then, the man who was admitted by all
as Il lit representative of American man
hood and citizenship in its purest and
pSoo y pc was IOuIu TO lie III
the pay of the mine-owners of the West,
who, it was alleged, had employed him
for years at fixed salary to discuss the
silver question throughout the country.
These grave charges were taken by Sena-
tor Thurston, of Nebraska, from n pub
LEGATION in a Chicago newspaper some
months ago, and under the pretense that
Mr.. Bryan was called upon to explain the
unfounded gossip of partisan newspa-
per, he went to the extreme of giving to
the world all that he could resurrect
from any source, no matter how disrepu-
table, concerning the Democratic candi-
date for President Senator Stewart has
come promptly to the defense of Mr..
Bryan, and in so doing has scored his
maligner numerically, as he deserves to
have been scored In replying to Senator
Stewart, Senator Thurston attempts to
evade the issue by resorting to bubble;
but in this he is more than met also by
the Senator from Nevada; until now
there is nothing for him TO stand upon,
except the naked assertions of the IRE.
sponsible persons from whom he CLEANED
his information. This method of con
Quoting political campaign must and
will fail. The American people have long
since shown a desire to have the Presi-
dental campaign conducted with dignity
and decorum, and the party departing
furtherest therefrom is sure to suffer in
reputation as we'll as in votes in the end.
Mr. Bryan is on too high plane to be
reached by such low dirt-ningers as
those who would traduce his personal
character by such base and unworthy
charges.

TRINIDAD's LAKE OF PITCH.

Scientists have long been puzzled at the
wonderful geological phenomenon pre-
sented by Pitch Lake, in the Island of
Trinidad, the well-known source of such
vast supplies of aspha4tum used ON the
streets of this and other countries. The
lake or pot is estimated at only some one
hundred and thirteen acres in area, yet
1t has yielded up many hundreds of thou
sands Of tons of aspha1tum and, not with
standing the quantity dug out, the exca-
walton, curiously enough, is refilIed with
strange substance in two or three weeks,
and thus it is that the level of Pitch Lake
is said to be never lowered. A mule and
a cart can travel over this asphalt sur
face, bnt there are soft spots in which the.
animal would sink if he stood still. The
temperature of the asphaltum in this nat.
ural and inexhaustible resery Cor is stated
to be normally little above, the temper
ature of the atmosphere, but there are in
dicattons all over the island that at some
period, ages ago, Pitch Lake boiled over
and the liquid asphaltnea covered the
island. This overflow also formed hedges
of asphaltum on the seacoast, and the
wonderful wearing and lasting properties
of the material are abundantly shown by
the unaitered condition of the lodges
which project into the ocean and are con-
stantly subject to the action of the waves.

MARVELLOUS RESULTS. ww,

From letter written by Rev. j. Gun
derman, of Dimondale, Mich. we are per-
mitted to make this extract: Il have no

New Discovery; it was quick in its work
and highly satisfactory in results. Trial
