Tom Reed.

Tom REED of Maine is dead and We are
sorry for it. There are few men in public
life that the country could less afford to
spare. Tom REED was great man and
q good man. A quarter of century Of
warm friendship taught us to know him
in that close and personal aspect that
Is commonly destructive of the abstract
and public apprehension of a man. Did
it detract from his figure? Not Dit of
it. He grew bigger and broader and
greater and more lovable with each sue
ceeding year; and now that he is gone
we know our loss TO be irrcparahle,
Never, never again. shall we look upon
the like Of TON REED.
He was a splendid character and there
was nothing IN all the length and breadth
of our land that was more American
than he. What a privilege, what an
honor, to have Tom REED for friend!
He was IA politician, but We always
thought he was poor politician. He
never drew a dishonest breath. The
man was the soul of honesty. He was a
stat esman In spite of himself.
Big in body, big in soul, grand in every
quality that should denote or adorn a
man, Tom REED leaves a great and de-
plorable emptiness where he stood. IL
is a grievous thing that he was not suf-
fered to stay here yet little while, for
his possibilities of good to his country
and of service to mankind were at their
greatest.
Farewell, true friend. brave heart
Peace to thy ashes and to thy name I'M
dying honor.

The lack of wharf at Manila is said to
cost the War Department more than half a
million dollars year To load and unload
vessels require a very large amount q
lighterage, and the owners Of cascos, or
lighters, have been obtaining whatever
price they chose to ask One boat owner
received $40 month for casco, and
made profit on the contract of more than
$500 a month. To reduce ite lighterage
bill, the War Department has been buying
and building cascos, soows, rovboats and
lighters until il has some 80 Of these ves
sells. Its repair account for the hired
Lighters amounted to 2,C0C last year.

Ten Connecticut Dem Ocrats.

For years the Hon. ALEXANDER TROUP,
editor and proprietor Of the Nep Hdren
Union, has been conspicuous in Con-
necticut for his extreme radicalism He
was an ardent Greenbacker. Then he
became as ardent silver man. His de-
votion to Organism and Mr.. BRYAN has
been fanatical. He has ragged against
the conservative, old-fashioned Demo-
Gratis almost as IL they were infidel dogs
and he follower of the true Prophet
So it makes you rub your eyes to read
in the Sunday number of Mr.. TRoUP's
paper the answers from ten Democrats
taken at random to the question
Whom do you favor as the Democratic
candidate for the Presidency in 1904? '"
The vote stands: OLNEY, .; CLEVELAND,
/; SHEPARD, 1; Tom JOHNSON, 2.
Now straws are no safe thermometer,
and the political preferences Of 10 or
loo or 10000 persons out of many mil
lions are of slight account in the mselves;
but II is interesting TO find recorded by a
Journal accounted irreConcilably Bryan
lite a vote entirely contrary to its pre-
possessions and supporting conservatism
In the proportion of 4 toll.
Democrats are not different from other
men and their heads have no more long
ing than other peoples for blind butting
against stone wall. Radicalism has
beaten them twice in Presidential cleo
tlons and has lately lost them New York
and given them a direful drubbing in
Ohio. How will it do to try little sue
cess? Perhaps the vote for a sane Demo-
cratic policy that Offers some prospect of
success will be more than TO by 1904.

Shall LineviIle License a saloon7

The question Of licensing a saloon in
Lineville is being discussed by good
many citizens and it seems to be more
favorably regarded, even by some who
have heretofore been opposed to such
policy, than ever before. The practical
argument advanced is that it could not
make matters worse and the town could
obtain an annual revenue Of several
hundred dollars which the treasury
badly needs. Lineville is peculiarly
situated and has the bad reputation of
being whisky town With no power to
prohibit or regulate the evil as it now
exists, and the policy of lighting the
devil with fire" is one of the logical
measures advocated by number of
good citizens.-Lineville Tribune.

Supply of the Mckinley Postal
Cards Will be Limited.

The department bulletin states that
it is expected the issue of the "Mc-
kinley' postal card will be commenced
the latter part of June or early in July
The department states that it will not at
first be able to furnish all post offices
with this card and postmasters should
not make requisition for them until it is
necessary to replenish the supply of the
"H" card. Until the department has
accumulated stock of the "McKinley"
cards only thirty days supply can be
furnished at one time. Until the sup.
ply of the "H" card is exhausted,
postmasters are instructed, the Mckinley
card must not be placed on sale.

James H. Cozad

Willie w., and Cora A. Moore. The de-
ceased had been great sufferer for
about two years with lung trouble which
was borne with much patience and res
ignation till the discharge came and he
entered into rest. He leaves his wife,
an aged mother, two daughters, three
brothers and three sisters together with
a large circle of relatives and friends to
mourn his absence, but they sorrow not
as those who have no hope. Just be-
fore his departure the deceased said to
his Borrowing wife "My peace is made
with God, my Father, and | am ready
to CO." The funeral was held at the
new Salem church, in the presence Of a
large audience, services being conducted
by the Rev. f. Edwards OF Osceola an
old time friend. The text for the
sermon was 2 Cor. ALI after which the
remains were laid to rest in the new
Salem cemetery just east of the church
to wait the call of the sleeping nation
at the resurrection at the last day.

MIR. Harman Promo oted.

At recent meeting of the stock
holders of the Augusta Lumber com.
pany, Mr.. Chas. B. Harman was elect
ed general manager of the concern,
to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Mr.. Charles F. Degen.
For some months past Mr.. Harman
has been acting in this capacity, and
does not take up his new duties unfa-
miliar with the work.
His election to the Office comes as
fit compliment and recognition of
merit. He is a native Carolinian,
having been born and reared at Lex
ipgton.
For the past five years he has been
connected with the Augusta Lumber
company. In 1865 he came to accept
the position of shipping clerk at a
small salary. Since that time his
rise in business has been little short
of marvellous. By close attention to
business he has gradually moved up
the ladder a round at q time until
now he is at the top. He was taken
off the yard and added to the Office
force, working through the positions
Of assistant, then head bookkeeper,
and later being made head Office
man. His study of the business in
this capacity, in connection with his
former experience made him a valua-
bic man in the lumber business, and
he was before long promoted to the
position ofassistant general manager.
His election to the post he now fills
and which he has won by hard work
is bringing to him sincere congratu-
lation.
MIR. Harman says the business af-
fairs Of the lumber concern will be
conducted along the same lines and
in the same style as heretofore.
There will be no change in any de-
psrtment.-Augusta Herald.
