why He wished to stop.

Applicants for passes over railroads
sometimes give novel reasons for the
granting of their requests, says the Wash
ington Post. The latest thing in this line
comes from Chicago.
A Texas cattleman walked into a rail
road Office and asked to see the genera
passenger agent. When he reached the
desk of that official, he said he would
like to have a pass to stop over at the
various stations along the line.
The cattleman was a large shipper over
the road. and the general passenger
agent told him he would be glad TO grant
the request. but asked why he wanted
the stop-Overs.
well" said the cattleman, you see
when coming up with the last bunch oil
steers I poked my head out the window
and burned if my false teeth didn't fall
out, and I'd sorter like to lind them"

THAT KANSAS LYNCHING.

We have been watching the Northern
papers, particularly the Philadelphia
Press. since the lynching of a negro IN
Kansas a few days ago, to see what they
would say about the affair. AS far as
We have been able to observe, they have
not published any double-leaded editorials
calling the people of that state degener-
ates and otherwise abusing them, they
did the people of Georgia when Sam
Hose was lynched And the Kansas negro
only killed one or two men. He didn't
murder a husband aud then assault the
wife, as Hose did. His crime was an or
binary one compared to the onenses OF
which Hose was guilty.
We would like TO know why it is that in
the estimation of the Northern papers the
lynching Of a negro in the South is a
crime so barbarous that it calls for their
severest condemnation. while the lynch
ing Of a negro in the North is a matter
Of so little consequence as to be worthy
of mention only in their news columns.
Is il not fact that the Northern papers
are always on the lookout for something
in the South to condemn? Is it not true
that they are quicker to see wrong doing
il the South than in their own section
1t is fact that more negroes are lynched
in the South than in the North, but there
IS a good reason for that. There are many
times more negroes in the South than in
Che North. About three-fourths of the
criminals in the South are negroes. BUT
| a lynching in Kansas is just as deserv-
| ing of condemnation as a lynching in Geor-
| gia, even if there are three times as many
! lynchings in the latter state.
We are not saying this TO excuse lynch
ings. We have always condemned them.
but we think the time has come when the
North should acknowledge that if she
were crowded with negroes as the South
is she wouldn't deal more leniently or
justly with negro criminals of the kind
that are lynched than the South does.

II is said that Prof. Blaclde often told
this anecdote ION himself" says Tit Bits.
This genial old professor used to form a
very picturesque feature in the Edinburgh
streets He was wiry Old patriarch,
with handsome features and hair falling
in ringlets about his shoulders; no one
who had seen him could possibly forget
him. One day he was accosted by very
dirty little bootblack, with his Shine your
boots, sir?" The professor was impressed
by the filthiness of the boys face.
Il don't want a shine, my lad" said he.
but if you'll go and wash your face, I'll
give you siXpence."
"a RIGHT sir" was the lads reply.
Then he went over to a neighboring foun-
tain and made his ablutions. Returning,
he held out his hand for the money.
well, my lad" said the professor. %you
have earned your siXpence Her it is"
81 dinna want it," returned the boy
with a lordly air. you can keep it and
get yer hair cut"

BARTLETT'S RURAL DELIVER
SCHEME.


Congressman Bartlett of the Sixth con-
gressional district had 10 give NJ his
scheme of free delivery of mail matter for
certain rural districts in the vicinity of
Macon. He wanted white men for carr
iers, not because he thought white men
would serve the people better but be
cause, understanding the situation in the
rural districts, he felt satisfied that there
might be trouble if negroes were employed
as carriers. Carriers would have 10 visit
the homes of farmers when the men-folks
were away in The fields or in the villages
or county towns, and the women-folks of
the widely separated homes would be
afraid of such outrages as are often COM
mitted in the rural districts. Under the
circumstances therefore he thought il ad-
visable that the free delivery scheme
should be abandoned for the present.
But what is to be thought of the Post
master General who insisted that negro
carriers should be accepted or the free
delivery scheme given up? Nobody under
stands better than he does that it wouldn't
be prudent 10 employ negro carriers in
rural districts in the South. Negro car
riers answer very well in the cities but it
doesn't follow for that reason that they
would be acceptable in the rural districts
OF a dozen carriers in the rural districts
eleven might turn out 10 be decent and
well-behaved men. The twelfth, however,
might be a brute and commit a horrible
crime in some lonely farm house if the
| opportunity presented itself. As there
would be no way 10 distinguish the one
that might be bad from the good ones
there would always be apprehension of a
tragedy in the free delivery district Be
sides. the country people are less con-
| servative on the race question than the
! people Of the towns. Therefore there would
be danger constantly of trouble between
| reckless young white men and the car
riers.
The Postmaster General, however, re-
| fused to recognize the existence of condi-
tons which made it inadvisable to appoint
nesro carriers. He arbitrarily took the
position that Congressman Barhetts con
stituents must accept negro carriers or
give up the proposed free delivery system
| He showed no disposition whatever to do
| what would De agreeable 10 the people
lie acted as a master. not as a servant of
! the people. Is it a wonder that the Re-
publican party fails to get a foothold in
! the South?
What the Postmaster General was cater
ing to was the negro vote. He was playing
politics. lie wants the negro delegates
from Georgia to the Republican national
convention to support Mr.. Mckinley for
a denomination. If Mr.. Mckinley is re-
nominated and reelected the Postmaster
General may be continued in his present
| position for another term of four years
or may be given something better That
is why, probably the Postmaster General
! told Mr. Bartlett that his constituents
must accept negro carriers or get along
without a free delivery system, knowing

They were both stubborn men, says the
Washington Post They were strCsiing in
opposite directions on Pennsylvania ave
nue. IN front of the White House, and both
stuck closely 80 the coping. The man
coming east had the right of way on the
Observation-Disclosures principle. The
man going west unquestiOnably knew
that the man coming east had the right
to stick to the coping, but he was pretty
square-jawed himself, and ne made no
move to step aside. They got to within
six inches of each other, and both stuck
to the coping. Each seemed to be waiting
for the other to move asoe. Nary a move
made either. They looked each other
square in the eye for about half minute,
and then they both seemed to decide by
a common impulse to sit down side by
side on the coping.
Zine afternoon" said the man going
west, who was wrong and should have
stepped aside.
Splendid weather. remarked the man
coming east, who knew that he was right.
Thus they sat in silence, side by side,
twiddling their fingers, for a couple of
minutes.

man going west, appearing to ask the
question just for the purpose of passn.

Then there was another silence for a
couple of minutes. during which both
men seemed to- he dreamily studying the
beauties of Lafayette square.

"Wen, we can walk down to the curb

again breaking the silence, "and when

Nix said the man coming east, Cop

street end of the treasury department
fence, with nobody coming between ne
and the coping, or I'll signal for an \

Darkness drew on apace, and they still
sat there, placidly watching the spar

| street, when the Post man came away.

CURRENT COMMENT.

Tho Baltimore sun (Dem) says: "The
present attitude of the administration and
its supporters toward a reform to which
they are solemnly pledged indicates sad
deterioration of public sentiment since
the close of President Cleveland's admin
istration. While the latter was in office
the reform went steadily forward. The
spoilsmen were not his friends, and he
took what they considered revenge by
bringing almost the entire Federal civil
service under rules that prescribed conf
petitive examinations as the condition OF
admission to appointive offices. The pub
lie rejoiced that in one respect at least
progress was being made toward admins
trative efficiency and the publication of
pubic life But Mr.. Mckinley has yield
ed to the clamors of office seekers and in
augurated a period of retrogression Pub
lie life is being again demoralized by con-
cessions that tend TO build up bosses and
enslave honest voters to political work
ers Public office is no longer declared
by the occupant of the White House to be
public trust, but is treated in effect as
the perquisite Of state bosses. This is
backward step of which the whole coun-
try should be ashamed"
The Chicago Chronicle (Dem) says:
Hawaii. Porto Rico and the Philippines
are just as much territory of the United
states-caH them annexed or not, as you
villas any act of Congress can make
them. Congress may govern or dispose Of
them. assuming that possession has been
secured, and the power of Congress in this
respect is supreme. The President has no
right 20 dispose of them or to make any
permanent orders or rules for their govern
ment"
The Cleveland Plain Dealer Oem) says:
1t appears that a member of the Wor-
cester Baseball Club was at one time a
mechanic. Several years ago he was or
dered by his union TO strike and refused
