OFFICE HOLDERS TURNED DOWN.
A feature of the Republican National
Convention is the hostility that is being
displayed by the Republican National
Committee to the Republican officeholders
in the South There are present in Phil
ade;phia contesting delegations from
number of the Southern states, though
the number of Southern contests az this
years convention is not as great as at
previous national conventions The rea-
son there are not so many this year Is
that there is no contest for the nomina-
ton for President. The only thing, there
fore, that is attractive 10 the average
delegate from the South is the federal
patronage.
The federal officeholders get themselves
appointed delegates with the view of hold
ing on to their Offices If the Republican
ticket should be elected. The National
Committee does not sympathize apparent
ly with the political activity of the Of
ficeholders, and SO, having the opportun-
ity, it has decided against contesting del
egations composed largely of ofticeholders
or men representing officehoders.
There is, therefore, great deal of feel
ing among officehoders in the South
against those who are managing the con-
vention. AS a matter of fact, however,
the managers do not seem to care par
ticularly what the opinion of the Office
holders of them is. 1t really looks as if
the Republican leaders were becoming
tired of that part of their party which
has Its abiding place in the South. The
Southern part has a big. influence in Re
publican National Conventions, but lit
does not furnish a congressman or an
electoral vote. 1t is always clamorous,
however, for Office.
The promptness with which Southern
delegations composed of officeholders
have been turned down this year by the
National Committee seems to indicate
that the Republican party is about TO
adopt a new policy in dealing with Re
publicans in abe South. The officehold-
ing crowd having failed to accomplish
anything for the party, there seems to
be a disposition to give others a chance
TO show what they can do.

Crown Prince of Germany.

The German Crown Prince, although not
so popular with the people as his second
brother. handsome Prince Eitel Fritz. Is
a charming fellow for all that. and as
modest as he is gifted says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer In character he more re-
sembles his mother than his father. bur
he has inherited the keen intellect and
varied talents OF the latter along with his
passion for soldering. A German officer
says that when the Prince was a little
fellow of or years old he had a way OF
looking soldier up and down as If he
knew every detail OF his uniform from
head to foot. II believe" said the off,

Henry Rogers, the Standard Oil mag
nate of New York, is the guardian an
gel of the little town of Fairhaven, Mass,
says the Philadelphia Saturday Evening
Post. Ii was there he was born, and
there as a boy he earned his first money
carrying newspapers. To-day Farhaven
boasts of a library and a town hall-gifts
outright from hm-and on the principal
street stands an ideal building, the Rog-
ers school.
This structure is fulillment of a
pledge made years ago, when Mr.. Rogers
was small, serious-minded by. who
delighted to sit in the company of older
people. 1t was in the grocery store one
day that he ventured to remark that he
thought Fairhaven ought to have a new
school,
TO those who listened new school
meant increased taxes.
Wall" drawled out the spokesman, 81
think so, 700; why don't you build one?
You might save up for a starter"
There was a chorus of "haws, haws,"
as the small boy slid off the top of the
barrel to the floor and then drew himself
up, his face red and burning. "TIl do it,"
he said land I'll give some of you people
a chance to put the furniture in it when
it's finished"
The episode ended there. The boy grew,
went to Pennsylvania, and thence to
Brooklyn. One day it was announced
that Mr. Rogers was going to build
school in Fairhaven. When it was fin
ished he went back. On the main street
he met the scoffer of his boyhood.
I'm waiting for that fusniture," he
said
The man laughed a little sheepishly,
but said nothing.
But, never mind" Mr.. Rogers went on,
Il guess I'll put it in myself, but I want
you to be on hand to see have kept my
word"

TOUCHING THE PosT'MAsTERs s.

Another smart Republican has come into
notice. His name is Corey. He is from
Chicago He has been consul at Amster-
dam, Holland, and is now deputy naval
officer at the port of New York. If his
ambition keeps step with his genius, he
may yet be consul general at Paris or
London, or financial agent of the postoff1ce
department in one of our island dependen-
cies.
Mr.. Corey has found a way to beat the
law prohibiting the levying of assessments
on postmasters for Campaign purposes.
That is what is causing him to be talked
about His scheme, which is being put
into operation, has received warm COM
mendation from Senator Hanna. That is
equivalent to an Endorsement from the Re
publican party. The details Of the scheme
will soon be in the hands of every fourth
class postmaster in the country, and the
second and first-class postmasters will
hear of Mr.. Corey and his plan a little
Every man bearing a commission from
the postofice department is on Mr.. Co
rey's little list.
The plan is this: Mr.. Corey and the pol
iticians who are operating with him, have
organized the National Commercial and
Industrial League. The league is to pub
fish a campaign paper called American
Commerce and Industries. Each fourth
dlass postmaster is to be sent a package
of ten tickets, to be sold at 50 cents
each. Each ticket entities the purchaser
10 membership in the league and a sub
scription to the league paper during the
term of publication. Postmasters of the
higher classes will receive a greater num-
Der of the tickets. the number be-
ing graduated according to the pop
ulation Of their towns. The funds,
after the expenses of the leagues paper
are paid, are to be turned into the Repub-
lican campaign treasury.
Every postmaster receiving bundle of
tickets will be expected TO dispose of them.
There will be bookkeeping at the head
quarters of the league, and those who
fail to "sell" their tickets and forward
the returns promptly will not be forgot

from each fourth-class postoffice and more
from the bigger ones, it is expected that

THE SULTAN PAYS WHEN HE
PIfASES

Admiral Ahmed Pasha. of the Turkish
navy. who is in this country for the pur-
pose of contracting for the building OF
warship, is talking in a very interesting
way about the claims against the Turkish
government which the Sultan refuses to
pay. The Admiral was asked if the ship
builders of this country were not afraid
to take a contract from the Turkish gov
ernment for a cruiser, owing TO the repu-
tation of the Sultan for not paying his
debts. The Admiral was somewhat indig-
nant that such a question should be ask
ed him. He declared that the Sultan never
refused to pay the honest obligations Ct
his government. AS for the builders
of this country. they had no doubt they
would get their money just as fast as
they earned it. They would. he said. be
given certain amount when the building
of the war vessel was begun, aud other
payments would be made as the work
progressed.
The reason the Sultan does not ply the
claim which this country has against his
government, and<the claims which some
of the European governments insist are
due them from the Porte, is that he does
not consider them lawful. He pays the
debts he thinks he owes, but not those
which, in his opinion, he does not owe.
And he is prepared. so the Admiral says,
10 back up his opinion, having a standing
army of 10000 men, armed with Mauser
rifles, and being able to call into the
field 1900 900 men. The Admiral wants to
know why the Powers don't enforce the
collection of their claims IL they think
they are lawful.
II does seem as II there were some
force in this inquiry II was supposed that
this country would send fleet to collect
the $4,000 which. it is claimed, the Turk
ish government owes American mission
aries for property destroyed during the
Armenian riots, but for some reason or
other IL hesitates to do so. It thinks prob
ably that 1t is better to wait awhile End
see IL the claim cannot be collected with
out a warlike demonstration than TO co
to the expense of sending feet to insist
upon payment. And the Sultan might not
pay the money even IL fleet wee mt
20 demand t. In that event other ana
more serious complications might arise.
