The government is getting more

ticularly those in the postoflice depart

furnish physicians certificate, under
the old examination. Of good, heart,

But flesh is weak and alcohol is strong

The Washington. correspondent of
the Charlotte Observer says that while
the silver debate was on in the House,
Representative Pearson, Republican
Of North Carolina, indulged in sneer
at the expenses of South Carolina for
the part which she took in provoking
the war of sesessions. This allusion
angered Mr.. Talbert, Democrat, of
South Carolina, who declared in q
great state of excitement, that South
Carolina was right in the position
which she took.
, Il am ashamed of any man who en-
dorses secession or the motives which
lay behind it, Mr.. Pearson said.

ed, Il endorse every word Of seces
"It has been said," Mr.. Pearson
went on, that if hell over breaks
loose in this country it will break
loose in South Carolina and so be-

The spectators in the gallery took
sides in this angry alteration, ap-
plauding now-t the one and now the

claring that ;''South Carolina never

The sarcastic references to "klepto-
mania and a bank account" made in
some quarters anent the Castle trial in
London. says the Pioneer Press, are ill
judged and in bad taste. If Mrs. Cas-
Ties offense had been other than what
it was, it would have been attributed
to mania. Murder. arson, and other
crimes of violence are no more easily
condoned where the offender is wealthy
than where he is poor. But in the
case Of a person like Mrs. Castle, there
is an utter lack of motive for theft. She
would not have stolen the articles
found in her possession because she was
perfectly able TO buy them. Her wealth
is not an extenuation Of guilt, but
proof Of innocence, or rather, of ire
sponsibility.
