LOTS OF TRUTH IN IT.

Mr.. David b. Hill, senior Senator
from New York, Is one Of the most
industrious men in public life, and if
he stays i'm the Senate a dozen years
will grow into one of the strongest
men that have held seats in that body
nitely more ability and versatility than
nitely more ability and versatility that
he was supposed to possess. and has
surprised those who esteemed him a
man of small calibre.
Recently he has called down on his
head the denunciations Of many in
Washington by an expression that IS
regarded as ungallant. tt may be
wanting IN what ID called gallantry,
but there is lots of truth I'm his
criticism of public men who devote
more time to the pleasures of fashion
able life in Washington than to the
serious problems which their constitu-
ents send them to Washington to help
solve. The interviewer quoted Senator
Hill as saying:
q think it would be d good idea II
the women were packed away and sent
out of Washington and the men left
alone here to attend to the business
that they are sent here for by the
country. The trouble is there are too
many dinners, with too much social
dissipation in official circles at the
capital. No man can go to these fash
ionable dinners night after night and
sit up until morning attending 10
social functions and be in any condi-
ton to grapple with the Bnotty prob
lens Of finance and affairs that are at
this time forced upon the considera-
ton of our public men.
II know that / am called a crustY
old bachelor, but If any sane man will
think over what / say, / believe that
he will agree with me and acknowl-
edge that / am right. This criticism
applies to members of the Senate and
Of Congress and to officials of the ad
ministration. / attribute good many
foolish bIunders made by the public
men of late to just these things-too
much society and not enough atten
ton to the study of public affairs"

THE VOTE ON SILVER.

The free coinage bill was defeated
in the House yesterday by a vote Of 2i5
to 90.
So Democrats voted for free coinage;
25 Republicans and Populists.
1874 Republicans voted against free
coinage and 81 Democrats voted will,
them against silver.
When the vote came up in the Senate
ON this bin "a Democrats, 20 Republi-
cans, PoDulists and / Independent
voted for it, while 5 Democrats and
rs Republicans voted against it.
These figures are presented here for
the purpose Of showing the attitude
of the two great parties on this impor-
tant question.

cIarations of friendship for silver by
Republicans are invited to study the

HOW BUSINESS MEN ARE SWIM
DIED.

The Winston Republican tells the
business men of that progressive town
some solid truths when 1t takes
ground against the write UP
schemes and other devices Of foreign
peripatetic newspaper and job print
ing men and adventu19rs who go a.
bout making living by such methods.
Too many business men let these adj
venturers get into them, and then when
their State, trade or local papers soii-
cit advertisements complain that adj
yertising will not pay them, having IN
mind the money wasted on the scheme
of some acknowledgement fellow who
gathered in his shekels, and was never
heard of again. The Legitimate papers,
at home and elsewhere, with establish
ed calculations that can give an equiva-
lent are too often denied advertise
ments which are freely given TO the
tenth rate short-lived sheets aud other
devices for making money without Civ
ing an equivalent.
We have a case in point. Last fall
when the News and Observer was pre-
pairing TO get out its Cotton Mill edi-
ton. the owner Of one of the largest
mills i'm the State hesitated to have his
factory written up, greatly to our sur
prise. The reason was not far to seek.
A few weeks previous q peripatetic
agent Of far-away paper had per
suaded him to pay 500 to give the
State a great write UP i'm big edition.
Ii was SO miserable fake that this
public spirited gentleman became 50
Disguised he made mp his mind to have
nothing more to * with '%write-ups.
He decided after Consideration to go
back on his resolution. He came into
the Cotton Mill edition, and was the
best pleased man in the State with the
result.
Moral Give the shysters the go by,
and spend your money where 1t will do
the most good to your State, .commun-
ity. and your own business.

ANOTHER FUSION PROPOSITION

Populist schoolfeId, Of Rocking
ham county, writes to the Reidsville
Review, giving his views on the sub
iect Of fusion, which are embraced in
the following extract:
while | do not speak authoritiyely,
but mingling, as / do, every day with
the rank and file Of our party, i think
/ know their sentiment. We want no
fusion with either of the old parties
over and above county and legislative
tickets-the Populists TO have the
legislative and the Republicans the
county ticket. Such d combination as
that would be highly desirable both
from Populist and Republican stand
point"
If Senator Pritchard sees this pro-
position to give the Populists the legis-
lators, it is to be hoped some friend
will be near to throw ice water in his
face to keep him from fainting. The
chief thing he wants with fusion is
the Legislature to re-elect him to the
Senate. If Mr.. SCHOOLGIRLS plan is
his ultimatum, fusion is dead, SO far
as Senator Pritchard is concerned

CONCERNING PosroFFIoE CLERKS

II IL TO be hoped that the pending
House bin. providing for the ciassiti-
cation of the clerks in the first ana
second-class postotiices, viii become
law.
Al present there is no time or salary
schedule. The clerks work from ten
bonrs a day upward, while the letter
carriers are not allowed to work more
than ten hours a day. Out OF the an
nual appropriation made for clerk hire
the chief of the salary and allowance
division allots fixed amount to each
Dostoffice authorized to hire clerks, and
the postmasters parcel out the salaries
10 clerks under certain restrictions.
The result is much unfairncss. Two
clerks may work side by side in the
same Office performing the same work,
and yet one of them may receive twice
the compensation of the other who IS
sometimes the better clerk Of the two.
One clerk may perform higher grade
of work than another and yet receive
d smaller compensation. Under the
present system a clerks salary rs UNI
certain His pay depends upon the
departmental estimate, the approprla-
ton, the allotment of the salary and al
lowance division and the Judgment or
caprice Of his postmaster
The system is inadequate, and with
a proper classification and fixed sala-
ries the public would get better service.
Under existing conditions the best
men abandon the service whenever
they have the opportunity. Fixed
minimum salaries are needed with a
provision for an increase as the clerks
rise IN HIGHER Grades of work
The postof1ice clerks are the only
class Of employees Disseminated
against by the government. They are
men of a high order Of intelligence, and
their faithfulness and industry are
OF incalculable value TO the public.
They should be among the best paid
Of our government employees.
We clip the above from the atlanta
Constitution for the purpose Of giving
it our unqualified endorsement, Post
Office clerks seem to be under the ban
Of the government. To their lot fall
the longest hours and the smallest pay.
No branch of the governmental service
needs a more radical revision in order
that men who render arduous and
faithful service may receive just and
reasonable compensation. The Con-
stitution is in error in regard to the
hours of the letter-carriers. They do
not work ten hours. They are not al
lowed to do So The law expressly
limits them to eight hours each day.
If they work more than eight hours,
even voluntarily, they are discharged.
regulated They are well organized,
They are classified and their salaries
and their influence is felt in Congress.
We trust that the press will con-
tinue to discuss the duty Of the gov
eminent to its clerks in postofiices
until Congress shall be induced to
consider the matter and do justice
which has long been delayed 10 these
Woodworking public servants.
