prevent Mr. Sherman from going into the
State Department. In doing SO they pro
mote the holy cause of Appearances. We
all recognize and feel the financial, and
practical political vassalage OF this country
to Great Britain, but as a nation we are
not yet degraded enough to say we like il.
The appearance OF Mr.. Sherman as Secre-

an indication that henceforth our foreign

at Media, Pa. Miss Gault, who was
formerly an instructor OF Mrs. Mckinley,
desires to be the local postnistress. She

Citizens OF Washington, especially those
who are compelled to pa'ronize the street
cars freely, would deem il a hardship in
deed if they were 10 be denied the beIeft
OF the six fares for twenty-five cents ar
rangement, and yet that is a concession
which the people OF Chicago have been
fighting for in vain. Some time ago the
Chicago City Council passed an ordinance
compelling the companies 10 adopt the re-
form, and the mayor declared that he
would sign it, But, in few days. he de-
cided that he would allow il TO become a
law without his signature.
At this point the conductors and motor
men, employed by the Yerkcs syndicate,
nngularly began TO hold mass meetings

companies would cut their wages twenty
per cent in the event Of its passage The
