..Jim" Mon.hs. and "BnIis" Bennett.

The collector editor OF the
Darlington Republican is rolled by
the Tribune's criticims OF his un.
seemly activity to defeat the carry
ing out by the republican Legislature
OF IA distinct promise made to the
people before the late election. He
is so mad that he stigmatizes the
senior editor of the Tribune as
"Blllie" Bennett. This is mild cas-
tigaton from one who denounces as
towards" all those who favor stand
ing by the platform pledges Of the
republican party.
In some unimportant respects the
Tribune erred in referring to Mr..
M~onahan's experience as temporary
chairman OF the republican state
convention, and these errors as
pointed out in the Darlington paper
We here correct:
Isl. 1t was a gear ago this spring
instead of tuo years ago, that he had
the honor Of presiding.
I'd. He did not hold II proxy, but
presided mithout hduing Il shadou of
right to membership in the conven-
ton.
3rd. He was not slated for the
Craftsmanship before the election OF
delegates, but u day or two after.
4th. 1t seems he was selected AS
one OF the delegates from Lafayette
county, to that convention, but de-
olined in favor of II friend.
9th. The convention over which
he presided was for the election OF
delegates to the national convention
and not for the nomination OF state
officers. The committee on resolu-
lions which he announced was NOM
mated by the several congressional
district delegations.
According to his W showing, u
errors wers merely technical and inn
material as to the facts
ing methods OF conducting caucuses
and conventions under the present
system, which we designed to illus
trate by MI. Monahans experience.
That other conventions, before and
after the one in which Mr. Monahan
figured. were characterized by like
methods, is NJ argument for their
|continuance.

A Dove In Church.

A Newton (Mass.) young lady saw a
peculiar feature in a church in a Maine
town which she visited. Hearing the
cooling Of a dove, she looked around
and saw a white dove perched on the
organ and listening to the music with
great appreciation. She learned after
ward that the dove had been a regular
attendant at church for eight or ten
years. being attracted by the music. OF
which it was very fond. IL was y
years old and was the pet OF a lady
who lived near After church the dove
was taken to the Sunday school class

CHARLEY PpIsTER's Sentinel ar
CUES that the proposed primary cleo
ton law IA unconstitutional in pro-
viding that electors shall, If they are
challenged, declare their party afIil-
istion before being allowed to vote.
II this is unconstitutional, then so is
the present law, and so has been the
practice in all c%aucuses, for the same
rule has always been recognized by
party organizations, thouGl not often
enforced, \ prominent complaint
againsttho caucus system has always
been that members OF one party wore
'run into" the caucuses Of another to
control them for corrupt purposes.
No honest man will defend such ac-
ton, ON the ground OF constitutions
atty or any other.

ROBBED THE P. 0.
Burglars Robbed the Chicago
Post0Hce Sunday.
SECURED $74, 61O IN STAMPS
The Plan Was a ecId One and Was
Worked Success. -iiy II They Cut
Through S.al-IIcn Steel i'm Bottom
of the Vault

Chicago, OFT ga sensational rob.
berry, whlCn netted the perpetrators
$74,6l0 in stamps, was discovered here
Monday morning when the whole ale
stamp depal tment OF the postof!ice
was opened tor business A rapid in
vestigation developed the fact that
the burglars had crawled under the
flooring for about 500 feet, bored a
hole in the bottom of the vault, Sc
cured the stamps and escaped carry
ing their booty in wagon.
The work of forming an entrance to
the vault had evidently been going
forward with the greatest patience
for many days 1t is believed, how
ever, that the intention of the thieves
had been to enter the cashiers vault
in which there was $4,000 in money
and stamps valued at. hundreds of
thousands of dollars. The bottom of
the vault is of steel. half an inch thick
In this 81 holes were bored until a
space Is inches square-just enough
to allow the entrance of a mans body
had been so weakened that it was
with little difficulty. A dry goods box
stood over the hole thus made and
concealed the work of the robbers
while it was in progress. When dis
covered, the fingermarks Of one of the
burglars were still discernible in the
dust on the box, which he had pushed
to one side.
OF the $74G10 in stamps taken, S4-
712 were i'm postage due" stamps and
$4,000 in special delivery stamps. So
the convertible stamps amounted to
$67 but of these $4,S2S were Pan
American stamps of and 10cent de-
nominations.
1t was the largest stamp robbery
ever committed in the history Of the
postal service in this country.
1t is explained at the pOstOfiice de-
partment that the law allows a credit
up to $4,000 TO postmasters at offices
where losses occur in which proper
precautions had been taken. All
above this amount has to depend upon
the action of congress. Postmaster
Coyne will present claim for the
amount Of the loss, and the depart
ment will transmit it TO congress.
Meantime any balance against him on
account of the loss will remain out
standing, but if congress should fail
to act favorably he will be called upon
to make the loss good. 1t is a fore
gone conclusion. according TO the be-
lief of postal officials, that the relief
will be granted as usual in such cases.

monies essentially religious. The SER

France and Russia Have a Program
Mapped Out.

Paris. Oct. 22.-The fact that France
has not yet employed coercive meas
ures to enforce settlement of the
Lorando claim by Turkey is due to
the unsettled condition Of the interior
of that country. II is feared that such
action might bring about the disrup-
ton of Turkey. The misgovernment of
Macedonia, the excuses committed in
Armenia and the dissatisfaction in the
island of Crete have reached such a
point as to constitute a menace to
peace. The powers, acting on the in
itiative of Russia and France, are now
discussing the basis Of an understand
ing for joint representations to the
porte and for eventually obliging the
sultan not only to carry out the
clauses Of the treaty of Berlin, relat-
ing to Macedonia and Armenia, but to
give guarantees for further reforms
and the sc tlement Of numerous pend
ing questions.
