At a Pro-Boer meeting held in
England last week, in which the
matter Of arbitration or some honor
way 70 end the terrible war in South
Africa, was discussed by prominent
citizens, when a lot Of rowdies
siormed the platform and broke the
meeting up in great disorder. Every
one Of those rowdies should be
drafted and sent to the army in
South Africa, and let them tackle
the Beers awhile, and the proba
bility IS that they would be very
willing to help hold a meeting like
the one they broke up.

Draw near the board with plenty

And if, in its accustomed place,
You see the fathers reverend head,
The mothers patient, loving face,
Whate'er this life may hold of i'll,
Thank God that these are left you
still.
And il brother sits beside,
And sister smiles, as long ago,
No matter then what ills betide,
Forget the worry and the woe
With up-turned eyes and earnest will,
Thank God that these are left you
still.

ANOTHER POSTOFFICE FIGHT.

There is quite a contest on hand
now in the ranks of the Republicans
here over the postoffice, as it will
go into another class January Ist
and be made a Presidential Office
and new postmaster appointed or
the old one appointed over again
for full term of four years from
that time, so that the way is open
now for appointment, and it is a
free pitch in, for all corners, go as
you please and catch as catch can,
devil take the hindmost.
There are two candidates out with
petitions, Messrs. Francis Heer-
mans and Horatio S. Whetsell, the
editor of the Journal and secretary
of the Republican Committee, which
gives him big pull on the position.
The present postmaster does not
seem to be making any fight, but it
is understood that he would like to
hold the Office if he can, and be re-
appointed. After January Ist the
salary will be at least 81, 900 per
year and an allowance for clerk
hire, rent and fuel and lights, all of
which have had to be furnished
heretofore by the postmaster.
