the prisoners is now generally ac-
cepted as showing the purpose of the
authorities to spare no means for the

is that unless the of nav CATION Is prolonged
the quantity of needed by the furnaces cannot
be got down time. and some one must suffer

burden OF constant complaint in every part OF the
country. Carrying facilities are overtaNed labor
responds in inverse alto TO the urgency OF demand

be increasing. The nevab bic result OF this pressure
all along the line Is steady and rapid enhance
of cost. This is well enough while prices
rule high. but when the inevitable readjustment
comes, suffering will result and II will come first

They accused him Of undue political ac-
tivity, which, Of course, means that
he has not supported Addicks. What
part Mr.. Payne has taken in the affair
does NOT appear, but it is rumorad that
he has warned the efficient postmaster
that he must not oppose the election Ct

Thus we have campaign based ON
false pretanse and intimidation. The
temperance people have affiliated with
a party that is a stencil in the nostrils
of all decent men, and the Regular Re

efficient postmaster who represents
their faith, unless they, too, forget the
demands of public decency. There
