Postmaster Selected al LasI.

Mr. Coleman c. Wallace was On Fri
day last appointed postmaster at Rich
mOnd, to assume charge of the Office
on August l. The settlement of the
contest over this office gives the great
est satisfaction. Mr.. Wallace is all
that could be asked in public official
and we like to think that we shall have
such a gentleman to deal with. In
saying this we do not forget that the
other applicants, Messrs. Adams and
Smith, would have graced the position
with credit and satisfaction to the pub
lie. All We're our friends personally,
and all had strong endorsements.
Capt. Smiths declining health forbade
his continuance of the fight for the
place, and he retired, in hvOr of Mr..
Wallace, who will give Miss Mariawillie
Smith an important clerkship in the
Office.
Mr.. Wallace's victory is great
triumph, rendered SO by the superb en-
dorsements held by his opponent, Mr.
Adams. The latter went down with
the President of the United States,
Senator Hanna, National Chairman
Col. Dick. State Chairman Barnett.
Sam Roberts, Congressman Boreing
and others pledged to him. IT was "A
great contest, but Senator Deboe. MI.
Wallace's champion, played trump
card when he frankly told the Presi-
dent he would oppose Adams's confii-
nation in the Senate and block other
appointments through the caba. that
exists among brother Senator's on such
personal questions. The President had
10 yield, and his personal choice was
sacrificed.
It is not to be inferred that the Presi.
dent had aught against Mr.. Wallace.
He only desired to reward Mr.. Adams
for services rendered the party by his
paper, particularly for his having con-
sistently and persistently advocated

Robert Brown died on Monday, at
the home of his brother, Coroner Mil

Blue Lick Water Club.

Many of our citizens are extremely
fond of Blue Lick water, the finest
sulphur water on earth, and they could
and would drink half-gallon each per
day if it were obtainable at less than
the retail price of cents per glass. a
club of four or six could chip in a small
prorata sum and have abundance of the
delicious health-givine, refreshing
water. 1t costs only 1913 per half-bar-
rel, 81 per barrel. Parties interested
should call on Mr.. G.. L. Woods.

Democratic party. Mr.. Lackey is too
well and iavorably known to the DEM

celleht iailer and is filling that respon-
sible Office with credit to himself and
satisfaction to all parties. Ifre-elected

OUR friends hereabouts who oppose
Mr.. Goebel, honestly believing they are
subscribing the cause of Bryan, Black

and honest enough to admit that they

Governor Mr.. Bryan declared his be-
lief that the defeat of the Democratic
State ticket in Kentucky wonld injure
tue cause of free silver and render
harder the fight for Democracy in
1900. He further says that such defeat
would make possible the defeat of Joe
Blackburn, and that he could not remain
silent "when silence might be con-

Promised the Cubans Independence in
Return For Opposing Americans.
Havana, May 16.-General Maximo
Gomez informed Governor General
Brooke yesterday that he must with
draw from the plan Of distributing the
$4,000, 900 appropriated to the payment
of the Cuban troops to the extent that
he will not name other commissioners
TO replace those originally named by
him, who have refused to serve. GOV.
ernor General Brooke is to go ahead
with a new plan, Gomez remaining In
an attitude Of friendly inactivity.
General Brooke will issue an order
for Cuban privates and non-commis-
stoned officers to meet at specined
places on specified dates to receive
payment. They are to be accompanied
by their company officers for the pur-
pose of Identification. Both General
Gomez and the governor general feel
that the privates ought not to lose
their share in the American gratuity
merely because the schemes of certain
high officers in the Cuban army have
interposed obstacles. The belief among
the Americans is that the company OF
ficers will assist I'm this way.
La Union Espanola publishes let
ter from General Jose Varona to Cen
eral Gomez, asking if it be true that
Marshal Blanco offered independence
| to the Cubans on condition that they
would cooperate against the United
! States. The paper says that Gomez
| replied in the affirmative, but Wrote
| to Varona that no answer was given
| TO Blanco, as Spain had deceived the
! Cubans so often that they could not
trust her again. A second letter from
the captain general to the same pur-
port was received. and this also went
unanswered. Finally Blanco, accord
ing to La Union Espanola, sent a mes
menger to Gomez to repeat the propo-
! sition, but the Cuban commander re-
| fused to consider 1t.

TALK is again heard of the proba-

being held in the fall Suggestions
as to the necessity for Congress being
called before the regular time were
rife just prior to the close Of the last
session, but, owing to the disposition
made of pending legislative measures
at the time, the idea of an extra SEES
sion being held in the spring was at
length abandoned. Now the idea
seems to have gained currency again,
and, while nothing definitely has
been said by the President in refer
ence to the matter, certain intima-
tions conveyed by him as to the de-
STABILITY of the early return of Ger.

PHILADHLPHlA's EXPOSITION.

breat Britain Accepts the Invitation
to Send Representative.
Philadelphia, May 16.-Great Britain
will be officially represented at the
international commercial congress TO
be held here in connection with next
falls national export exposition. For
NAL notice of such was received yes
terday by the exposition authorities
in the form of a communication from
the foreign office, London, through AS
sistant Secretary of State Hill.
The invitation to the British govern
ment was sent out through the state
department at Washington. With it
were sent invitations to every British
colony. The invitations to the colonies
numbered 35, there being that number
of English colonial governments.
The exposition authorities feel con-
fident that the favorable action of the
mother country will be followed by ell
of the 35 colonies, each of which was
asked to send delegates fitted to dis
cuss some phase of international COM
merce. 1t is believed that it will also
have it's effect upon the chambers OF
commerce and other commercial or
ganlzations in the United States and
all the English colonies, which have
been invited to send delegates. The
influence will doubtless also be felt
among the 10000 foreign business
firms which have been urged to send
their buyers or representatives to the
exposition.
