Changes il London Posts.

London's postal department has de-
cided to expend the sum Of e200, 900
on scheme which makes provision
for dealing more efficiently with the
ever increasing postal work in the city
and provides better accommodation for
the telegraph and postonice stats.
Three new buildings will be erected
at once. The east block Of the st.
Martin lie Grand buildings will be de-
molished and new structure will be
erected suited to modern requirements.
This will involve an expenditure OF
s150,00O. The department has also
purchased business premises in many
streets, which will be demolished and
handsome buildings erected which are
designed to accommodate 5000 tele-
graph clerks. This will also give space
for dining and cloak rooms for these
men. A large postofice will be built
In the East Strand.

Mortality In the French Army.

recent number of lie Journal OFF,
cial of Paris publishes a re ort Of the
minister of war to Pres. ,nt Faure
concerning the sanitary condition OF
the French army. maintained for Pc
Rod of ten years. including 1897. After
showing what means have been taken
to preserve the health Of the garrisons,
as we'll as of the colonial troops, the
report shows that for the year 1895
and 1897 there were less deaths in the
French army than for any other twelve
months in times of peace. The NOR
tality, which was 1885 for every 1000
in 1875 fell in 1896 and 1897 to ass.
Another important point in the report
shows that the garrisons which can
not be supplied with natural. pure wa
ter have elaborate and adequate appa-
ratus for distilling the liquid in infinite
quantities. These apparatus are port
able, and are easily taken with the
troops on their maneuvers.

BRANTLEY's CANVASS.

Our corresp ondents in various parts Of
the Eleventh district say that Congress
man Brantley is making a very success
ful canvas of the district. and that many
of the Populisls declare that they viii not
under any circumstances vote the Repub-
lican ticket. We cannot understand how
a Populst can consistently help to elect
a Republican to Congress. If Mr.. Wilkbn-
son should be elected, of which there is
no probability. he would not favor any
Of the demands set forth in the Populst
platform. He is a Republican, and pro-
poses to act wholly in accordance with
Republican doctrines. The Populists have
no reason TO expect anything from him.
1t IS safe to say. therefore, that those
Populists who believe in the demands of
The Populist party will not vote for Mr..
Wilkinson. They viii prefer to remain
away from the poles to doing that. No
doubt many of them will vote for MIR.
Brantley because he comes much nearer
representing Populist demands than his
Republican opponent does.
Senator Clay who has just returned
to Atlanta from tour through the north
ern part of the state. says that the Popu-
lists are quite generally returning TO the
Democratic party. And why shouldn't
they return? They have nothing to hope
for from the Populist party. In this state
the party has practically gone TO pieces.
In fact, it has lost its vitality in pretty
nearly all sections of the country. That
was shown in the recent Populist conven-
ton in Cincinnati.
We do not think that the fusion move
ment in the Eleventh district will be near
ly so successful as the Republican and
PopIiiist leaders of the movement say 1t
will Thinking Populists are holding off
from it, They are by no means anxious
to see negroes in Office. They are well
aware of the unhappy condition of affairs
existing in North Carolina where,
through fusion of Republicans and Pop
ulsts, many negroes, totally unfit to hold
any public position, have been put into i'm
portant as well as minor positions. The
Republicans are of course gratifed with
their success in getting negroes into office,
but the better classes of the Populists
bitterly regret the part they took in
bringing about the unfortunate condition
of affairs which exists in that state.
The men who are engineering the fusion
movement In the Eleventh district are pol
iticians pure and simple. Their whole aim
is to advance their own political fortunes
For the best Interests of the people they
have but little consideration. The Popu-
lists 90 tba u1av,eDtl, r,,,st think for. tbar,1
selves. Those who do that will
find nothing in the fusion movement that
promises the Populists any benefits.

story from Washington is to the effect
that so far from Gen. Miles being compn-
mented by the restoration of the grade
of lieutenant general and his elevation to
IL, he will. If the army ring can have
its way, be reduced in rank. AT present
his official position is that Of Major Cen
eral Commanding the Army, and 1t is pro
posed to have that office abolished, bring
ing Miles down to the grade of major
general Commanding a department. The
argument is that there Is almost always
a clash between the major general com
handing the army and the Secretary of
War, each thinking the other is en-
croaching upon his especial preserves, and
that the proposed change in the law would
remove all doubt as to where the COM
mand of the army is vested. 1t appears
that Gen. Miles has some of the most
constant and consistent enemies of any
man in this country.

What Puzzled Him Most.

when was a young man." says we'll
known civil engineer, Il was surveying
the route Of a proposed railway. An old
farmer with whom / stopped for a time
admitted one day when he saw me figur-
ing in the field that mathematics always
seemed a wonderful thing to him. Being
young and enthusiastic, l began to enlarge
its wonders, telling him how we could
measure the distance to different planets,
and even weigh them; how We could fore
tell accurately the coming of a comet or
an eclipse years in advance of its actual
occurrence, determine the velocity of the
fiercest projectile, ascertain the height of
mountains without scaling them, and
many other things which 1 meant should
astonish him.
You can imagine how he set me back
when he replied to this brilliant array Of
facts by saying: yes, yes, them things
does seem kinder cur us, but what allus
bothered me was to understan' why you
have ter carry one fur ev'hy ten. But if
you don't the burned thing won't come
out right.'n
