OLD SOLDIERS GO BACK.
Carriers and Chadwick and Fer
EusOn ReappOinted.

Washington, Nov. 13.-(Special.) The
charges lodged against two Kansas City.
Kas.. mail carriers-Shay and Grlnter-
have been sustained by the postofice de-
partment and orders will be sent shortly
to Postmaster Barnes for their removal.
Upon the recommendations of Mr.. Barnes
the department has appointed Allen Chad
wick and William Ferguson, two old SOL
diers. who were discharged by the late
Postmaster Mapes four years ago.
When Mapes was appointed postmaster
of Kansas CitJ. Kas.. he discharged Re-
publican carriers by the wholesale. The
records here show that 10 let out sixteen
men in one bunch. four of whom were old
soldiers, and their places were filled with
Democrats. The next day the Office was
placed in the civil service list by the de-
pertinent. The Republicans always con-
tended that a great injustice had been done
and the removal of Shay and Grinter is the
first step towards Fighting that wrong. The
Republicans will not cause removals by the
wholesale. They Will make them SO that
the service will not be injured.

A PREACHER and a Bnn.

The so-called new journalism makes
mountains out Of mole hills. II is ever on
the look out for matters out of which SEN
sat!ons can be made 1t has succeeded
in making quite a big sensation ont Of
bail and the utterance Of preacher.
Mr.. and Mrs Bradley Martin of New
York city have announced their purpose
to give a big masked ball at the Waldorf
hotel in that city on Feb. 10. \ day or two
ago DR.. Rainsford, the rector of a church
in that city which has a congregation
made up largely of people who belong to
the Bradey-Martin set. advised those of
the members Of his congregation who had
received invitations not to attend. This
advice was given in a sermon delivered
from the pulpit.
DR. Rainsford said that an extravagant
outlay of money for mere social func-
ton at this time would cause dissatis-
faction among the very poor people 81 New
York. He expressed the opinion that the
Bradley Martins should give the money
they will spend on the bah to some good
charity.
The ball and the preacher furnished the
papers that are devoted to new journalism
just the materials they wanted TO stir up
the town. They interviewed preachers,
business men and society people, and got
material for startling headlines. They
have done twice as much towards array
ing the poor against the rich as would have
been done if the ball had taken place with
out any reference to it by the preacher
and the newspapers.
1t is about certain that Mr.. Bradley-Mar-
tin will not give to the poor the amount
which the ball will cost. That being the
case, what nonsense it is to say that the
poor will; resent such a display of riches,
as will be seen al the Bradley-Martin ball.
The poor would hardly have known about
the ball if the preacher and newspapers
had not advertised it so freely.
But why isn't the ball a good thing for
the poor? 1t viii; cost many thousands of
dollars, all of which will be spent in this
country. The poor will get the greater
part of it. 1t may not all go to the needy,
but they will get part of it IN one way
and another Is 1t not much better that
Mr. Bradley-Martin's money should be
distributed than that 1t should be boarded?
The spending of it will make times better,
and when times are good there is less dis
tress among the poor. DR.. Rainsford has
gained a great deal of notoriety by the
course he has pursued in respect to the
ball but he has not helped the poor peo
pie of New York.

Ex-President Harrison has a good word
