noAR,s TRIBUTE TO MCKINLEY

To win by gentleness, md not by
reviling-these are the instruments
by which great political accomplis h
ments are brought to pass in our re-
public.
THAT is the secret of the great suc-
cess an of the great POPULARITY of Pre-
sident Mckinley. No man friend or
foe differing from him or agreeing
with him has ever been brought into
personal contact with him without
not only loving but also respecting
him. II do not know what the
secret is This old fashion of hatred
is, however, | believe, passing away.
In old days men never seemed to I'M
derstand that one could differ from
them in matters theologically or in
matters political unless they were
lying about it. g Yet there are still
in politics very few gentlemen, who
it seems to me, are the lineal and
spiritual descedents of Archbishop

of Sam Paris of Salem, who got up
the witchcraft movement-men who,

LICKED MAIL CARRIER.
Porto Rican Policeman Not in Due Fear
ofUncle Sam.


Washington, Aug 7--Outrages in
the postal service of Porto Rico are
the subject of special report to the
Postoffice Department bv Lawrence
Letherman, postoffice inspector Of
that district. who cites many in
stances where postmasters have been
subjected to intimidation. AS warn
| ing to those he believes guilty the in
spector has issued the following state
menf in Porto Rico:
Il have received lately number of
complaints from postmasters of the
island that they have been lnterfered
with while transactiDg their official
duties, by delegates from the political
parties of Porto Rico, demanding
them to take active part in politics
and threatening violence should they
refuse. Some of these party repre-
sentatives have gone so farsas to in
form postmasters that they would be
removed from Office if they did not
comply with their demands. Re-
movals of postmasters are made only
by the department upon recommends
tion of the inspector in charge. and
this recommendation is made only af-
ter careful investigation of the char
ges by an inspector and the charges
sustained.
Recently mai, messenger carry
ing the mail from one town TO the
other was stopped by policeman.
dragged from his horse and struck in
the face by this officer Of the peace
the messenger was then allowed to re-
mount and proceed after having
been delayed with the mail for 10
minutes in order that the officer might
vent personal grudge against the
messenger.
In one village the alcaide having
a personal quarrel against the messen-
ger, instructed that all the mail of the
alcalde be carried past the postoffice
and mailed on the mail car at the de-
pot, thus preventing the postmaster
from canceling the stamps on letters
and other mail matter. AS the
fourthclass derives its compensation
from the amount of stamps cancelled,
this action on the part of the alcalde
materially reductes the postmasters
slalarv.- Postoffices are placed In
these small towns to accommodate the
public, and the postmaster should re-
the people, as their income at best is
very small. This alcalde and his
friends are willing to avail them
selvesl of the opportunity of receiving
their mail through the postoffi e at
that village. but are not willing to
allow the postmaster to cancel the
stamps on the matter they send, and
thereby receive a small compensation
for the work done in behalf of the
people.
II desire to say for the benefit of
this alcalde and other persons contem-
plating actions similar to his, that
If such actions con tinue the post
offices will be discontinued and the
Offenders dealt with according toFed
eral law. The postmasters of Porto
Rico are servants of people, and not
of the Federal or Republican party,
or of any facrion or syndicate. They
are the trusted representatives of
the United States postoffice Depart
ment., and as such will be protected
and encouraged in their official

President Ralston stated that the
robbers cannot dispose of the plumber
without having 1t remelted and mixed
with another metals. He is on the
opinion that they will bury the gold
or sink it in the bay awaiting a con-
venlent time for its removal, as there
are few smelters on this coast where
gold can be remelted.
At the Selby works the gold is kept
IN steel lined strong rooms. Once IN
the strong room the thieves had only
to help themselves to all in sight.
Bullion is sent each day from Sell
by's San Francisco office to the
smelter by special boat. The, boat
arrived at the works as usual today
with the consignment of bullion and
the strong room was opened so that ii
could be stored. Then 1t was that
the smelter officials discovered the

The Selby smelter is the largest on
the Pacific coast. Ores are sent there
from all parts of the Western slope
for reduction. The works are located
near the bay shore about thirty miles
from San Francisco
