DO No. Deserve a po..ofl,c r.

The recent killing in n most Outrage
ous manner of the postmaster at Lake
City South Carolina, has brought
forth the suggestion that the postofiice
be abolished.
There are many precedents for such
action. The most conspicuous occur
red when Judge Tyner was postmas-
ter-gcneral under Hayes administra
tion ut Granada. Mississippi. The
patrons of that office attempted to
compel n white Republican postmaster
to retire, but he refused to do SO. and
was ustnined by the department. The
persecution became so serious that
General Tyner ordered the office clos
ed and the mail dropped ut the next
railway station. Granada was city
OF about 10000 population, all Of
whom We're compelled to go eight or
ten miles for their mail. The Mississ-
ippi senators and representatives en-
deavored to bring articles of impeach-
ment against Tyner. but he would not
yield. He told them that the office Mt
Granada would never be opened as
long as he was postmaster unless five
of the leading Democrats of the place
whose names he gave would become
responsible for the protection of the
postmaster and the good behavior of
the populnce. At first these gentle
men protested furiously. but finally
yielded. The postoilicc was reopened
and the postmaster had no more trou-

The following "episode" will prove n

ity of people to pronounce readily and
correctly many common words of their
native tongue. The list, which con-
tains no words of disputed prounucia-
tion is as follows:
An interesting inquiry took place in

incident had taken place during pub
lie pageant. 1t seems that n pretty girl,
rather juvenile in appearance, having
an extraordinary head of hair, like an
.AlbinO, represented Thalia and sat on
n pedestal erected on one of the floats.
The procession was directing its course
down the Mall, when the attention of
the OnlOokers was drawn to the excited
conduct of one of the spectators who
had fixed her eyes upon the tiara, set
with jewels in the form of n carat,
which Thalia wore upon her. head as
she sat in what seemed to be her won't
cd attitude of nonchalence and leisure.
This person was afterward shown to be
Il maniacal laundress whose sQualor
and detestation and hideous grimaces
We're all unnoticed by the mock god
dess. What vagary bade this reptile
turn her servile eyes, full of rapine, on
the beautiful maiden, 1t is hard to say;
but suddenly. under pretense of Sec
ing something on the ground, she pro-
duced hiatus In the crowd, and thus
obtained precedence of all. Simultan-
eously with her appearance the van
drove past. She then filled the.air with
gross raillery and began to promulgate
Anarchism, society's lack of probity.
and the general prediction of politi-
clans for patronage. Then she besought
her audience to hear her dilate on the
glaciers of the Alps, the ruins of Pom
peii, the female franchise, the
Pleiades. and her patron saint. She
was evidently demented. and the flow
Of her vocables appeared endless. Sud-
denly she raised pestle which had
been hidden under her shawl, and
threw 1t directly at the visor on the
girls head. Thereupon n fiaccid litl-
ographer, who was cutting swath
as II tribute on the following van
grasped n seine and threw 1t over the
gaunt old hag. so that her efforts to
escape were futile. and she became as
docile as lamb. The pathos of the af-
fair lay in the way the girl bore the
ordeal In court the virago gave an
alias instead of her own name. Her de-
fense wns that vaccine, whose pres
cnce was shown by n scabious arm, to-
gether with desuetude in the matter OF
personal freedom. had produced an
obsession which decreed the irrevocable
death of the girl. An Inventory Of her
belongings was made, and she was
then sent to an asylum as victim OF
acute homicidal mania.-New York

BLOW AT TAX DODGERS.
Ex.Prcsidcnt Harrison. In n Speech. Say

Ex.Prcslticnt Harrison. In n Speech. Says
sotnctl,inE should BE Done.
Ex-President Harrison, In his WASH
ington's birthday Grafton OH 'The OBJ
legations OF Wealth." before the Union
League Club Of Chicago. made some
observations that are worthy the con-
siticration of the wcll-to-do, to whom
they were directed. He spoke In par
ticulnr of taxes as debt of the high
est obligation. and deprecated the at
tempt of possessors of property to
evade their payment. The Inequality
of taxation Is an evil which he would
have the rich take the lead In remedy
Ing. He said:
1--WE must innugurate. and mt once,
system that shall equnlize tax bur-
dens. The men of wealth In our great
communities should lead the move
ment. This great club. organized rs n
rallying center for loyalty and patriot
ic citizenship. should hear n call as
loud and imperative as that which
came to It during the years of the
civil war. Mr.. Lincoln's startling, dec
laration that this country could not
continue to exist half slave and half
free mny be paraphrased to-day by
saying that this country cannot con-
tinue to exist half taxed and half free.
This. sense of inequality brcathes- n
fierce and unmeasuring anger-crentes
classes, intcnsifies social differences
and makes men willing to pay their
debts in half dollars"
Too much stress cannot he laid upon
the need for men of wealth and high
business ability to take the lead in
remedying evils OF this nature. More
Intelligent and unselflsh leadership in
81 s..1 -
government Is the need of American
democracy to-day. If the country IL
not to retrograde, men of wealth and
business ability must recognize the OBJ
legations of wealth and give liberally
Of their timc-which Is much more i'm
portant to the improvement of society
than contributions of moncy-in help
ing democracy to solve the problems
confronting the nation. Only so can
the security Of property be permanent
ly assured.
1t is well that ex-President Harrison
took occasion to make these observa-
tions. for the class to which they were
directed may heed such counsel from n
man of his prominence and known re-
spcct for property rights. 1t was fit
ting. too, that Washington's birthday
should be chosen for such an address.
Washington was for his time man
of great wealth. He regarded It's pos
session rs imposing upon him obliga-
tlons beyond those of the ordinary citi-
zen. II is a sign of degeneracy that to-
day too few men of great wealth rec
ognizc that their possessions impose
upon them obligations TO render to So
cicty and TO government unselfish and
Intelligent service for the benefit of

Tho President.. Sunday.

President Mckinley declines to do
any business on Sunday. even refusing
to see senators who call on that day.
A prominent Western Republican WHO
was passing through Washington went
to the White House to seek an inter
view In regard to an appointment on
Sunday. He wrote the object Of his
errand upon card, and apologized for
calling that day as he was obliged to
leave Washington that night. The
usher brought back the message that
he would have to call fn the morning.
as the President desired to be excused
from NIL official business on the Sab
bath. Sometimes he is supposed to
have conference with Mr.. Hanna on
Sunday evenings, but there mas never
been so little going on ut the White
House on that day as under the pres
ent administration.

FRS. Cotton NH Owned by Negroes.

a few days ago at Concord, New Hamp-
shire. ground was broken for the first
cotton mill in the United States to be
owned and operated entirely by negroes.
The company was organized by n coiorcd
merchant Mt that place of the name OF
Stonemnn who has been working for two
years securing subscriptions. He claims
to have over $4,000 in hand and nearly
10000 more pledged The contracts have
been let for the erection of n building with
the most approved machinery. Colored
operatives have not been secured in the

gard the result OF tho enterprise as doubt
