THE LAST FURROW.

Mellow the grapes are Purple as gloaming that flee; Yellow the corn in the husk, And scarlet the haws in the tree. Wlde-winged the geese go Swift and crying and crossing the
 stars, Foreseeing the snow The hoar frost lies white on the
 bars. This is the royal time; The cartridges out of their covers; Each morning a rhyme, And the sun and the hills are as
 lovers; The cattle in stall; The pastures forsaken and lone; Fire-light in the hall, And the thistle seeds withered and
 blown; The last furrow turned, With the great moon watching all
 white. The oxen can rest now, For the ponds will be frozen to-
 night.

BRADY'S APPOINTEES.
Secretary Gage Will Require Com
pliance With Civil Service.

Washington, Sept. 4.-Col James u.
Bray, collector OF internal revenue for
the Richmond, CVa.0 district, has refused
to reappoint the deputies of his predeces
scr, and the matter has been informally
called TO the attention ofSecretnry Gage
1t seems that while civil service ex,lmi
nations have been held in that dist1 let,
the pressure of business has prevented
the civil service commissioner from certi
flying an eligible list, so that Colonel
Brady, in appointing Outsiders. was act
ing within the emergency clause of the
law. These appointments, however, are
temporary. Secretary Gage does not APP
prove of any attempt to disregard the
civilservice law. An eligible list will he
certified for the Richmond district and
permanent appointments will have to be
made from this list.
While the law requires that appointees
shall be selected from the list of eligibles
furnished by the commission, tn this
particular case there is no such list, and
yet the men are needed to carry on the
work of the office. 1t is said by the clerks
in the Office Of The comm ssioh that such
an emergency as has arisen could not
have been foreseen Ky the comm; ssiorers
The papers of those examined last
March will probably be inspected ut once,
and special examinations may be held for
the purpose of allowing the new ap-
pointees in the collectors Office to demon
strate their fitness for their position.

BRYAN AND THE STRIKE.
He DenounCes the Growth of Gov
arnment by Injunction.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. An an in
terview in Lincoln to-day William j.
Bryan, when asked as to his position on
the question of government by iniunc-
ton, replied; "My views are expressed
better than could express them ON the
platform which the Democratic State
convention adopted here yesterday, the
injunction plank CT which read:
'We.express our deep sympathy with
The coal miners of the Eastern und Mid
die States in their lawful and peaceful
efforts to secure living wages. The bus
mess arrangement aud individual suffer
ing arising from this prolonged contest
add weight to the demand for this en-
forcement of the principles Of arbitration
in such cases, while the fact that success
has attended the efforts of employers both
to co operate among themselves and to
enjon their employees from doing the
same thing has made more extended the
we'll nigh universal opposition to govern
ment by injunction; and we view with
great alarm the Late decision o. Judge
jackson, of the Federal court, in eDjoin-
ing the struggling employees of the coal
barons of Pennsylvania and Ohio from
walking on the public highway and peace
fully assembling to discuss their wrongs
and attempt to better their condition, as
the out1rowth of the universal abuse of
the writ of injunction by the COURT"
''Those are my views" said Mr.. Bryan,
"but that is not an issue upon which
political parties can be formed. The
sentiment against government by in
junction is widespread; it is confined to
no class of people. 1t is Ii great econom-
ical question. However, unlike the
proper issue Of money, it has not the
power to cause a line of cleavage. Even
the Republican party will not declare in
favor of injunction. The morey question
goes deeper 1t Is a Fundamental econ
omic question affecting every man, wo-
man and child in the country

Strong Appeal for Their Estab-
lishment Made by the Post
master General.
Would Be a Boon to the Peo-
pie and a Benefit to the
Whole Country.
Plan Already in Successful
Operation in Europe and
Elsewhere.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-The first an.
nual report of Postmaster General Gary
has been made public. Its feature is
the strong advocacy of postal saving de-
positories, a scheme over which he has
worked for many months in the for
mutation of plans to present to the
president and congress. He says the
time is ripe for their establishment and
that the adoption of well organized
system would confer a great boon upon
large number of people and ulti.
mately be of inestimable benefit to the
whole country. The portion Of the re-
port relating to postal savings follows:
Many millions of dollars are undoubt.
edly secreted by people who have little
or no confidence in ordinary securities
and monetary institutions organized by
private citizens. 1t is dead capital, but
if its owners could be inspired with alb.
solute confidence in the security of an
investment it is altogether probable
tb at the bulk of this fund would find
its way into the
Channels Of Trade and Commerce.
If the government undertook this task,
the service would undoubtedly be
gladly accepted by the people. Their
faith in the government is unbounded.
Their little savings, which separately
could hardly be put out at interest,
would amount, in the aggregate, to a
sum that could be invested to their ad.
vantage. The proposition is an accom-
plished fact in nearly every country in
Europe, in the British dependencies of
both hemispheres and even in Hawaii.
In Great Britain 100000 depositors
have upward of $3.50, 100000 in savings
accumulated during 30 years and in 10
years no fewer than 10000 Haw allan
depositors saved nearly $i,0O0,000. De-
posits in Canada in 20 years exceeded
$22 900, 900. These vast accumulations
have been made with the least possible
loss to the governments which guaran-
tee their repayment and with a mini
mum of cost to the millions of depos-

SIX PEOPLE KILLED.

Brutal Crime for Which the Trio Were
Strung Up.
The crime for which the three men
were hanged was one of the most hor.
rible in the annals of brutality and
atrocity. On Feb. II last passer en-.
tering the house of Rev. T. Spicer,
Methodist circuit rider, discovered
the dead body of his mother-in-law,
Mrs. Ellen Waldron, lying upon the
floor of the parlor, horribly mutilated.
Passing to another room he found the
body of Mrs. William Rouse, daughter
of Spicer, also dead, with her twin baby
boys brutally murdered, their brains
having been dashed out, and Mrs.
Rouse having been killed with club,
At the barn was found the body of Mrs.
Spicer, likewise horribly mutilated, she
having been shot and afterwards
stabbed with pitchfork, her breast be.
ing filed with wounds, and her head
crushed with an axe. Inside the barn
was the body of Thomas Spicer, who
had been shot through the back with a
shotgun, and his throat cut from ear to
ear. The spectacle was sickening, and
the crime created most intense excite
ment and indignation.
