EDUCATIONAL APPROPRIATION.

The Spokane spokesman Review pro-
ceeds in recent editorial upon the I'M
warranted assumption that the Post
Intelligencer has taken a stand antago-
nistic to education. No such mistaken
.views are held by this paper On the
contrary, education IS recognized as the
most fundamental necessity In the crea-
ton and maintenance OF republican IN

THAT'S WHAT WE SAID.

We observe that our old friend, the
Nooksack Reporter. grows a trifie ex-
cited because the post-IntelIigencer has
seen fit to make "A calm Investigation OF

degree commendable that the p0stmas-
ter-editors use large quantities Of ex-
pensive ink and reams of white paper in
displaying their fervent gratitude. Of
course it Is. And We beg to assure our
esteemed contemporary that the Post
Intelligence has not at any time had a
thought other thatH that the loud ac-
claims for the Spokane senator were an
honest discharge IF an honest debt In
fact. that Is precisely the point We have
been making. we have simply desired
to aequaint the public with the pleasant
fact that the federaIized press Is making

rary. was never blamed for accepting

the appointing power was not n candi-

correctly. Judas displayed pernicious
activity in exploiting the character and
identity of the appointing power at a
time when his silence was particularly
important and desirable: and he got
thirty pieces OF silver for refusing to

paid for It's silence. and II can show it's

POSTAL CLERKS
Report of Legislative Committee Was
 the Principal Business.

Detroit, Mich, September 7-The report of the legislative committee was the prin- cipal business before the National Associa- tion of Postal Clerks today.
 This committee is in charge of the bills the association Is endeavoring to get through congress The most complete of these is bill having for its object a re- classification of the postoffice clerks and their salaries in all of the first and second class offices throughout the country. The committee is also pushing a bill for the enforcement of the eight hour work and endeavoring to get an appropriation through congress to pay for substitutes while the clerks are on vacations. There is at present law on the statute books giving to each postoffice clerk fifteen days vacation year, but no appropriation for substitutes was made when the bill was passed. The committee reported that these bills had made little progress the last year. They have been favorably reported by the postoffice and postroads committees of the house and the legislative committee will have congress consider them at the coming session.

 Arriving at Santiago July Il, not as a pri- vate individual nor as a visitor, for any pretense that he went there disrobed of his authority or official capacity is too childish to be considered by sensible men. From the moment he arrived at Santiago he was responsible for what might occur. He ar rived there with the Yale, Columbia and Rita, loaded with infantry, and three shirs loaded with artillery, besides those already disembarked. He designed to disembark the troops and artillery named on the west side of Santiago. as was understood before leaving Washington, and before he went ashore made the necessary arrangements accordingly. He then proceeded to the front, and after consulting with General Shafter. a note was sent to the Spanish commander by General Shafter saying that the commanding general of the United States army had arrived in his camp with strong achievements, and would meet him between the lines at any hour agreeable to him. The reply of the Spanish commander was that he would meet him at 12 o'clock the next morning. The meeting was held, and after some conversation between Gen. eral Shafter and General Toral, General Miles frankly informed the Spanish general that he had left Washington six days be- fore, and that it was the determination of the government that this portion of the Spanish army must be captured or de- stroyed. He also informed the Spanish gen. eral that his endorsements had arrived with him; that some of these forces mad already disembarked, and the remainder would be disembarked on the west side of the harbor, and that it was useless for him to contend against the inevitable These transports could also be plainly seen by the Spanish from Moro Castle and other points General Toral replied that so long as he had rations and ammunition he had to fight

 Mrs. Ozley drove to her home and at once her husband and others endeavor ed to find the negro brute, but were unsuc- cessful
