M'KINLEY'S OFFENSIVE APPOINT
MENTS.

In appointing so many colored post
masters at the South, where every
such appointce is known to be
persona non grata to the community.
and especially to all its better
elements. Mr.. Mckinley is revealinga
side Of his character that was never
suspected. He was supposed to be
an amiablc and refined gentleman,
with some Of the higher qualities OF
Il patriot and statesman. In these
postal, gratuitous and wanton APP
pointmcnts, he shows himself the
opposite OF what he was at first
thought to be.
The administration of the post
office is very important and delicate,
if not in some WAYS sacred and con-
iidential. The custodian of every
office, therefore, should not only be
trusted citizen of the Immediate
community, but a favorite citiZen.-
one in whom all contide and with
| whom it is not offensive or dis
agreeable for any to come in contact
or association. The selection Of a

other things being equal. That
| principle is consulted even in our
appointments abroad: and we do
not make a cOIorcd man our rep
re5entative in any foreign country,
unless its people and Government
are also colored. Let pre- udices
alone. They will cure themselves in
course of time, if not founded in
nature and reason land, at all events, it
is no part of the duty Of Government
to undertake to remove them or defy
them. There is neither sense nor
policy, nor good intent nor good
feeling, in making an offensive APP
pointmcnt. As rule, such appoint
mcnt is an aifront to those chiefly
concerned, 1t is a breach of good
manners, violation Of the spirit
that should obtain between the
public and its Government.
There is no use talking about
rights in this matter. Any negro,
for that matter, otherwise qualified,
has as good a right to be nominated
and elected President of the United
States as Mr.. Mckinley. The main
consideration, especially in the post
office, is to give the people whose
most private affairs are to pass
through his hands, an officer liked
and trusted. and whose appointment
on neither side will foment nimositv
or i'll feeling of any kind; and there
can be nothing but false pretexts fol

The Negroes Hope.
scotland Neck Commonwealth

Last week the Commonwealth
printed from the Washington Post a
strong editorial relative to the negro
as a ruler, and offered some COM
nlents The Wilmington star com
mented on the same article and
among other thing said:
The fact is that there is nearly
always disposition shown by a
nero charged with violation Of the
law to resist arrest, if he cannot es-
cape, and there is a pretty universal
feeling among his race that the negro
who is arrested is victim OF perse-
cution by white officers who arrest
him, unless the crime with which he
is charged happens to be against one
of his own race.
This is the result of several causes;
first. his race feeling. for the feeling
Of the negro towards the white man
isn't a whit more cordial than the
feeling of the white man towards the
negro: second. association, for much
of the conversation amongst them
when they congregate Is about the
grievances and imagined proscrlp-
ton of their race: third, their lgnOr-
ance which does not understand the
conditions that confront them, and
prevents them from recognizing the
fact that this is white man 5 country:
fourth. the insidious teachings OF
white and black political demagogues
who pose as their champions and
friends for the purpose Of deceiving,
| leading and using them. Cnfortu-
| natclv for them most Of them listen
| to these demagogues much more
willingly and trust them more i'm
plicitlv than they would listen to or
trust men OF their own race like
Booker +. Washington, and Others
who have given them so much good
advice by which the ma ority OF
them have proiited so little.
Whatever hope there is for the
negro as race lies in the guidance
of the right kind of white men, and
of colored men who have white ideas
| but when he undertakes to assert him
self, and attempts to rule the white
man he puts brakes on his own pro
| gress, makes the chasm between the
races wider and furnishes additiona
reasons why the color line, or race
law, should be drawn still tighter
and emphasizes the fact that this i:
white mans country.

$50 REINDEER COMING.
Shipped on the Manitoban-Report OF
Abundance of Moss in Alaska.

Washington, Feb. A cablegram
received at the war department to-day
from DR.. Jackson at Alton, Norway,
announced that the steamship Mani
toban, chartered by Lieutenant Devore
for the government, had just sailed
from that port for New York with $50
reindeer and 81 Laplanders, men and
women, to care for the animals and
drive them on the government relief
expedition when they arrive in Alaska.
The war department is now making
arrangements for the transportation
of the deer across the country to Seat
tie.
Inquiries have been made at the de-
partments instance as to the proba-
bility of finding in Alaska the moss
upon which the reindeer feeds in his
native country. The Presbyterian mis-
sionary at Haines, w. w. Ware, writes
as follows: There is very little moss
indeed along the coast, but fifty miles
over the coast range there is a great
abundance. Some say the whole coun-
try is covered. I accept that statement
with some reservations. but l should
judge that there must be good deal. :"

PR1YArE PENSION BILLS PASSED

Eighteen Out of Twenty-four FavorabIy
Acted Upon by the Senate.
Washington, Feb. 4.-This was pri-
Nate bill day in the house, but by sys-
tematic filibustering the private calen-
dar containing the bills reported by the
committee on claims was not reached,
the whole day being consumed in pass
ing eighteen Of the twenty-four private
pension bills favorably acted upon by
the house at the session last Friday
night. During the consideration of one
of the bills an interesting discussion of
the approaching sale of the Kansas Pa
cific road, set for April s, was precipi-
tated by Mr.. Fleming of Georgia, who,
with his democratic colleagues desired
legislation to require the president to
bid the full amount of the debt, prin-
cipal and interest. Mr. Powers, chair
man of the Pacific railroad committee,
contended that the real purpose of the
opposition was to compel the govern
nent to take the road and operate it.
He said he thought the administration
which had secured every dollar owing
from the Union Pacific, could be safely
trusted to protect the governments in
terests at the sale of the Kansas Pa
cific.

4 REcoscIz1ATIos EFFECTED.


Two Factions of Carpenters That Have
Had Misunderstanding.
Last evening the United Order Of
Carpenters and the International
Brotherhood Of Carpenters got togeth-
er and reconciled the differences which
have existed between the two organi-
cations since the strike Of 1886. This
result was brought about largely
through the efforts Of State Organizer
j. D. Cowper Of the state branch Of the
American Federation of Labor-.e-sMr.
Cowper has been endeavoring to ac-
complish this end for some time. Last
evening he addressed the United Order
of Carpenters and that organization by
a unanimous vote decided to unite with
the International Brotherhood. The
meeting then adjourned to the hall of
the International Brotherhood, where
officers were jointly installed. New Of
f1cers will be elected by the combined
order next Friday.
Mr.. Cowper also addressed this meet
ing. Mr.. Cowper is working to get Ia
boring men to join the unions Of their
respective crafts. He will organize a
lathers' union here shortly. The two
unions which united last evening have
membership of three hundred. There
are about nine hundred carpenters in
the city. Mr.. Cowper prophecies that
in ninety days the union will have a
membership of five hundred. One of
the purposes, he says, that the union
has before it is to prevent the "tobog-
gan slide" in wages.

PARoCHIAL SCHOOL CLOSES.
New Bedford Clergyman Announces That
EXPENSES Cannot be Met.

New Bedford, Mass, Feb. 4.-Rev.
Charles P. Gabourey. rector of Sacred
Heart church and president of Sacred
Heart school corporation, made the
announcement this afternoon that
owing to the business depression and
unemployment of the French-Cana-
dian mill operatives, he is unable to
maintain the French parochial school
through lack of funds to meet the nee
essary and unavoidable expenses con-
nected herewith, and the school will
be closed after to-day. Five hundred
pupils thereby are deprived of the priv
ilege of attending the parochial school
and as the city has not sufficient ac-
commodations for those now in attend
ance at the public schools, Father Ga
boury submits the proposition to sell
the school building and land to the
city. The mayor has called a special
meeting of the board of aldermen to
act in the matter.

MUrINEgRs AT NEW LONDON.
Four Sailors Complain of Food and Re-
fuse to Sail.

New London, Feb. 4.-The four-mast-
ed schooner Independent, Captain Will
lis L. Case, was towed into this port
tonight by the tug Cassie, Captain
David Hunt, of this city, and the four
sailors, who gave their names as Chris
Jensen, John Melkins. Claus Clemens
and Andrew Thompson, were turned
over to the authorities and locked up
for a hearing before United States
Commissioner Butler tomorrow on the
charge of mutiny. The Independent
sailed from this port Tuesday morning
after having unloaded cargo of coal
at Longs wharf the previous Satur
day. To-day while lying in the sound
off Bartlett's reef, about a mile from
shore, she was seen flying a signal of
render assistance If need be. Captain
Case stated that his crew of four sail
ors had mutinied; that they were lock-
ed up in the forecastle, and that he de-
sired that a revenue cutter or civil Off
GERS be sent to place the men under ar
rest. AS there is no revenue cutter
stationed here the tug Cassie. with a
civil officer aboard, was sent to the
captains assistance.
The reason for the nutiny as given
by the sailors was the quality of the
food. The four other men sailing on
the schooner, however, do not take ex-
ceptionS to the rationS and the bill of
fare which the steward states is served
would not seem to warrant the revolt.
The story told by Captain Case Is that
he finished unloading the schooner's s
cargo last Saturday at Longs wharf
and shipped a new, crew from New
York, the men arriving Monday morn
ing. They did only about an hours
work that day and had three meals.
Tuesday after breakfast they refused
to do any more work and wanted to
leave the vessel. The captain did not
think favorably of this proposition and
shut the men in the forecastle and got
under way, being towed out by the tug
Wellington. The captain said that he
thought that when they were under
way the men would think better of
their action, but when he ordered them
from their hunks to come on deck they
refused. The Independent then came
to anchor and has remained at anchor
during the recent severe storm. The
diet, but as they still continued in re-
volt it was decided to let the authori-
ties deal with the case.

YOUNG WOMAN HELD UP.
Daylight Robbery of Daring Nature
ParaIyzed With Fear.


Paralyzed With Fear.
Boston, Feb. 4--One of the most dar-
ing hold-ups in the many crimes of this
nature, in this part of the country,
took place in broad daylight in the
Fresh Pond station of the Fitchburg
railroad at 1870 this afternoon. The
station agent, a young woman, was
forced to give UP $24 at the point of a
revolver and the robber made good his
escape while three boys who tried to
follow him were frightened away by
three shots from his weapon. The
station is a small one on the Water
town branch and at this time of the
day but few persons are in the habit
of taking the train. Miss Annie Nc
Bride is the station agent and when
shortly after l o'clock a man entered
the station and asked for a ticket to
Boston, she thought nothing of it, as
the train left in four minutes.
She was entirely alone when the man
came in and was outside the ticket Of
flee. She Immediately went inside and
the door closed after her by spring.
AS it turned out the man put his door
jamb and as she turned to the cash
drawer to make change for his dollar
bill he slipped inside the office and
drawing revolver demanded the
money. The young woman was almost
paralyzed with terror and allowed the
man to rifle the money drawer of its
contents without making an outcry
