FREE MAIL DELIVERY FOR THE
COUNTY.

IL the House agrees to the Senate
amendments to the post Office appro-
.priation bill, the country will be pri-
maiily indebted to Senator Butler
for a plan that will be of incalcula-
bic convenience and benefit to the
people of the rural districts. AS is
shown by our Congressional report,
he offered and secured the adoption
of an amendment appropriating sew
enty thousand dollars to be expend-
cd in devising a plan for establish
ing a system of free mail delivery
for the people living away from rail-
road post-offices. The idea is to
make experiments in the matter of
having mail carriers deliver mail d.
rect to a resident in the country, just
as the mail carriers in cities deliver
mail at the door of city residents.
This has not beon undertaken be-
fore because former Postmaster-Gen-
erals did not think the amount ap-
propriated by former Congresses suf-
ficent to make fair trial of the sys-
tem-said amount being two sepa-
rate appropriations of ten thousand
dollars each. Senator Buffers
amendment provides fifty thousand
dollars in addition to these two
amounts, making total of seventy
thousand dollars, and this will be
sufficient to make the experiment in
both thickly settled and sparsely set
tied sections.
There has never been any objec-
ton to this system. On the contrary
it has been advocated by high post
office officials, including Postmaster
Generals, but has never been at
tempted for want of means. Per-
haps Senator Buffers remarks on
the matter will fully explain his
motives in offering the amendment.
He said:
The scheme ls practicable, be-
cause there are a number of coun-
tries doing it to-day. 1t has been
done by the people in a number of
localities on their own Arrangement.
The people to-day in a number of
neighborhoods arrange to have a
free delivery system and pay for
it themselves. But the main point
is that the Government appropriates
money for special delivery in cities
where men live within ten minutes
live minutes and two minutes walk
OF the post office, where it would not
take ten minutes of mans time to
go and get his mail; but the man
who has not these facilities, though
he is taxed to support the Govern
ment, is the man who has to take
his horse from the pillow and ride five
miles or three miles to get his pa
pers or his letters. 1t would be bet
ter for the farmer to be taxed a
special tax to pay for this free de-
livery than for the 35,OOO,OOO farm
ers of this country to have to stop
their work in busy season and 20
to their post-offices for their mails.
The people of this country are en-
titled to a fair test to know whether
the system can be operated econom-
really, and satisfactorily to the peo-
pie and to the government.

right or wrong, betrayal OF prin-

Mr. Pearson seems 10 abhor man
who repudiaies his political asso-
ciates more than he abhors one who
betrays his principles. There will
be no "pe rddy" in repudiating both
Mr.. Pritchard and Mr. Pearson II
they betray the cause Of the people
Of North Carolina, which cause they
promised their constituents TO sup
port and maintain.
IL adhering to it's principles de-
feats the Peoples Party, even
though Mr.. Pearson is carried down
in the crash, he must remember that
truth crushed to earth will rise
again" and he may have another
chance. But if Mr.. Pearson gains
his election for the next Congress by
repudiating and causing others to
repudia'o their oft professed prin-
ciples, he will "attaint his blood for
all time to come and make his name
by-word and all his political honors
valueless."
But whether in the future Mr..
Pearson adheres to principle, or to
party At the sacrifice Of principle,
one thing he must learn; and that is
no must abandon the billingsgate
methods he seems to have learned
when he was in or partly in the

SILVER IuRILANT.
Representative Patterson's Defeat
Significant of Southern Sen


Washington, april Congressman
PattersOn's defeat for election as dele
gate to the national Democratic con-
VentiOn by the voters Of his district is
pointed to by silver men as a further
confirmation of their assertions that
the south is solid for the white metal.
Mr.. Patterson has a district in Tennes-
see composed of four counties. In one
Of CElem is situated the city of Mem
phis. 1t has been supposed that the
district was almost solid in backing Mr.
PattersOn'S financial views ana the
congressman has pointed with pride to
the district as one which was sure
against the silver craze" Two coun-
ties which have acted have adopted
silver resolutions. The third is con-
ceded by the sound money" men to be
the same way, and this gives the dis
trict and its delegates to the silver
ties 1t IS not known whether this
means that Mr. Patterson viii fail in
getting a denomination.
The silver men are happy. They
say that nearly all the county con-
ventiCns held in the south and north
west the past week presage a silver vic
tory at the Chicago convention. In
Illinois it is claimed that every
county which has acted (fOur) has de-
clared for silver. betOkening that the
delegation from the state will be al
most wholly that way. With Illinois,
Iowa and part of Ohio with them, the
silver men say they Will control the
national convention easily.

Forbes Portrait of General Harrison
on Exhibition.

New York April 1O-How General
Benjamin Harrison appears at the per
iod of his second marriage may be
known to whoever goes to see his
latest portrait, just finished, by J. Col
in Forbes, r. c. A. 1t will be on pub
lie view, beginning tomorrow, in the gal
lery of VIM. SchauS, at Madison
square and Fifth avenue.
In it one may see that the general
gives the impression of being remark
ably vigorous. His beard is trimmed
in a less patriarchial fashion than it
was three or four years ago. He
wears what is almost a lavender four
finland scarf with polka dots tied UNI
der a turn down collar. This is spright-
~ dressing, when the coat that goes
with it is a frock.
Mr.. Forbes painted the portrait of
Gladstone which hangs in the National
Liberal club of London. He has had
considerable success in England and
Canada in painting pictures Of men
of distinction.
Besides being an unusually faithful
likeness, his portrait of General Harri-
son is excellently composed. 1t is Har-
rison the professor. He sits, leaning
to one side. in a Cornell chair, holding
in his left hand the notes of a lecture
to students, and in his right hand a
pair of gold eyeglasses.
