TILLMAN HEARS THE BEE
Its Buzz ng Inclines Him to Run
for President.
VIII Make a Western Trip for the
Purpose of Booming Himseif-A
Silver Candidate.

Senator Ben TilIman is a candidate for
the Presidency. His boom has not yet been
launched, but il will be very soon, and by
the Senator himself. He has managed to
make a tour through the Western States
iur the ostensibfe purpose OF prea ching the
gospel of 16 to / but in reality to show
the followers of the white metal a man
who is built on fine Presidential lines.
Senator Tiilman has already announced
that If the Chicago convention fails TO
insert a free silver plank in its platform
that the dele cations from South Carolina
and certain other States would bolt the
nominees, go TO the silver convention TO
be held in st. Louis in the middle of July
and iudorse the candidate Nominated by
that convention. Senator Tillman believes
implicitly that he is the man TO lead the
silver hosts and will leave no stone un-
turned to bring about his nomination.
1t is with a view of promo ting his Presi-
Dental aspirations that Senator Tillman
will leave here in about ten days to swing
around the Western circuit, where Popu-
lists and silver men are the tbickest. His
first speech will probably be made in Chi
ago. From there he will so to Denver aud
on the return trip make addresses in Mis-
souri,, Kentucky, Nebraska aud other places.

From the recent accounts received from
the East, the conclusion mus; be dra wn that
we are on the threshold of another outbreak
in Asia Minor. Cuba and the various dis
turbanccs in Africa have absorbed public
attention recently to the exclusion of al
most an ything else in the foreign field, but
now and then stories have come from Ana
ITALIA and he adjacent provinces indi-
eating that the fires of faIiaticism had not
been quencied, but were simply shoulder
ing and ready TO burst again into flame.
There are yet two or three millions OF
Armenians whose profession of the Chris
tian faith is q stencil in the nostrils of the
sultan, and, by direction or indirection,
he will either seek to convert them to Islam
ism or eyterminate them.
A few weeks ago, when il became
known that Russia and Turkey had come
to some sort of understanding the report
was sent out that the formers premier had
pledged itself TO maintain order in Asia
Minor. This was understood to mean that
further ma ssacres OF Christians and the
defilemcnt of women were to be stayed
and by the strong hand OF the car. This
view of the situation was the more gen.
eral and more generally accepted be-
cause of the fact that the ruler OF all the

City and Suburban Mail Service.

Ever. since the railway mall cars were
put on the Navy Yard and Georgetown cable
line The Times has contended that the
suburban section ought to be provided
with like facilities for a more expeditions
postal service, especially as they have
asked for.it. II is gratifying to learn that
a pouch delivery Is TO be inaugurated to-
morrow on the Fourteenth street cable
line for Mount Pleasant and the imme-
diateiy adjacent territory, and that the
service will be extended TO other suburbs
with the least possible delay. Tho inno-
walton win BE- hailed as a great convenience
by the residents of that section. as about
half an hour will be saved on each delivery
and collection.
1t is especially desirable that this rapid
mail service should be i'm full operation
10y the time the warm weather increases
the suburban popula tion. Takoma, Bright
wood, Kcnsngton, Brookland, Tenleytown
and the country lying toward Glen Echo
and Bethesda Park, Chevy Chase, the re-
giOn penetrated by the Washington and
Great Falls road should all enjoy at least

In the granting OF leaves of absence, with
pay, to employees of the government, there
is neither sense nor justice in making fish
of one and flesh of the other. If one class
of public servants is entitled to the gratuity,
either equitably or by statute, so should
be all others. Until recently the heads OF
Departments have contendcd thattbey can
grant leaves of absence To those only who
are paid other than by the piece, and in
this way Il large number of harl-working
men and women were excluded. These
either had to work all the year round, or
lose their pay whenever they took leave,
even II only for a day on account OF ILL
ness Few OF them could afford to do
this, and thus il happoned that many, es-
pcciaIly women and men in delicate health.

UNCLE SANS GRAvESTONEs.
Cut From Fine Marble and Cost the
Government So Each.
pLflu,IsinLfr D,,ss

The United States Government is a large
buyer i'll the various markets OF the country.
1t buys almost everything. from whaIe-oil
and wheat 10 tape and typcwritcrs, but
about the most remarkable purchase it
makes is n grave stone.
The quartcrnlstcr general or the army
is now opening bids for 10000 OF these
sombre reminders or mans mortality.
Half OF the number are TO be hcadstones
and half foOtsfones. II is only two years
since like number was bought. SO it
would seem that Uncle Sam has many
graves to mark. The stones are bought
under the act providing that any soldier or
sailor having an honorable discharge is
entitled to have his last resting place
marked by the government. The friends
and relatives of some veterans are too
proud to apply for these stones, while
others considcrit an honor to havethem.
The government pays about Sc each
for the Grarcstnncs, when it buys
them in such large quantities. They are
cut from fine marble. but are pEtin and
unpreicntious. Upon proper application
they are marked with The veterans full
name. date of birth. and death, and the
number OF his regiment. Then they are
shipped to the designated spot and erected
at the governments expense.

Among the many suburban railway
schemes that are on the tapis now those
that contemplate more frequent communi-
cation with the Geological Park will be of
special interest to a large number, If not
the majority OF orr people. BY the CON-
struction OF additional roads leading into
the suburban districts more cheap eNcur-
sion routes are provided. They are boon
10 the poor, who for trifle can thus
escape from the heat and dust of the city

The Zoo being made one of the objective
points by four lines in addition TO those

construction OF them doubly interesting.

our beautiful suburban localities even more
attractive to those seeking pleasant sum-
mcr homes to have frequent and prompt
mail deliveries.
While the dwellcrs in the rural districts
are thus bene fitted IL may not be improper
to call the attention of Postmaster Willett
tovthe fact that there is hiatus In the
mail deliveries in the city which the peo-
pie would like to see obviated. Except for
the business section OF the city, the last de-
livery leaves the postoffice about 3 O'Clock
p m and there is none bet ween that hour
and about 7:3O or O'Clock the next
morning. 1t would seem proper to have
at least one more delivery; say, somewhere
about that time in the evening. Collections
are quite as frequent as could be wished,
but at least one delivery should be added
TO those now made. and that one in the
evening.
Postmaster wilett has shown so ready
a disposition TO do all In his power to meet
the wishes OF the people OF the District and
to give them the best possible mail facili-
ties that no doubt he will give the suG
tions here made his careful attention.
