A SLICK NEGRO RASCAL
Gathers in a Rich Harvest of Shekcls
from Confiding weldon Negroes.

WELDON. n. c.. May 31.-Special.-A
negro preacher. giving his name as J. c.
Thomas. came to Weldon last week and
claimed 10 be an agent for some rich
Northern families who needed servants.
lie offered SIS for nurses. $50 for wait
ers and $40 Tor cooks. All he required was
that each should pay I'm s. as a guarantee
that they would be at the depot the morn
Ing he appointed to leave. This money
he told them. would be refunded and all
expenses paid by him. Some Of the ne
groes were easily taken IN and Thomas
collected so or $50 and that is the last
seen or heard Of him. lie left Sunday to

the classified service.
ANOTHER CLASS.
Another class Of exceptions has been
tho private secretaries 10 certain bureau
heads. The list is not long one, and II
is not the character Of place which Will
be- open 10 political pressure. man
should he free 20 choose his confidential
secretary. for IN no connection does the
personal equation, which Is quite unmeas-
ureable by the Civil Service Commission,
have greater weight
1T should be noted that in the case OF
nearly all these excepted places, with the
exception Of private secretaries. 1t is pro-
vided that the person appointed must
successfully pass an examination equiva-
lent 10 the one held by the commission
for positions OF like character. There IS
no letting down I'm the requirements for
ascortalned fitness. and in my opinion
there will be no deterioration in the quail
fcations Of people appointed.
II do not regard the changes In any
sense n step backward. The Inclusive
order Of President Cleveland. bringing
as 81 did. every place to which appoint
mont was made by the Secretary Of the
Treasury into the classified service-with
the exception Of his private secretary and
stenographer-was too broad. The deci-
sion 20 take out some OF these places has
not been hasty."

M'KINLEY'S OPTIMISM

Mr.. Mckinley cannot afford to be
than optimistic. 1t is his
war. He embarked the country in II
without consulting either Congress or
the people. The acquisition Of the
Philippines was his idea. He in
sisted through his docile agent and
brokers in Paris upon the surrender
Of the Philippines by Spain as the
condition upon which he would agree
to moke peace with the latter country
although nothing Of the kind was
stipulated or even limited at in the
protocol. Rather than MISS what he
must have thought at the time was a
fine bargain he agreed to pay Spain
Sac, 0 900 for her title, such as it
was, and to take the chance OF lick
ing the Filipinos into submission
How many millions in addition ,o
the $40, 900, 900 paid to Spain have
since been expended in the VAIN effort
to protect the Spanish title by wal
and bloodshed the American people
do not know .-Baltinore Sun.
