Without Compensation.

There is no other body of men working
under law which exacts so much without
compensation. Therefore, we. feel no hesi-
tation in making the recommendation. The
amounts received under the existing laws
from fees represent no adequate return for
services rendered, and the fee system has
long been considered as bad in its results
upon both the municipal government and
the individuals participating therein.

SALE NOT coNsUMMATED.
Controversy Over the Rights OF Plain
tiff in Invention.

Edward w. Creecy of this city was yes
terdav made defendant in bill filed IN
equity by Stison Hut chins, the purpose OF
which is to define the rights of the plain
tiff in a controversy growing out OF
Danish invention called the "Telegra-
nhone" The plaintiff alleges, among otner
thines that he was induced by the DEFEND
ant 10 purchase the rights to the patent
for the United States and agreed TO give
him one-half of the profits derived from
the sale of the invention. and that IN Janu-
ary. 1902, Mr. Creecy represented that a
purchaser had been found, and on the
strength Of Mr.. Hutchins belief that the
sale would be completed he gave Creecy
a writing to the effect that he would pay
him 500, 600 out of the proceeds OF sucn SAFE
for his interest In the invention ana Ior
.sother services to be rendered.
Mr., Hutchins says the sale was not con-
summated, and that Creecy failed to ma a
purchaser for the patent rights FOR the
United States, Canada and Mexico, ana &C
cordingly the services required OF him py
the agreement have not been rendered.
The plaintiff states that Creecy claims the
agreement signed by Hutchins is an obliga-
ton to pay him 100000, and threatens to
sue for that sum and otherwise embarrass
him, unless the same Is paid. Mr.. Hutch
ms, therefore, asks the court to direct
the cancellation Of such writing and to re-
quire it's return to him. as we'll as to d.
rect an accounting in order that the rights
of both parties may be determined.
Messrs. Brandenburg & Brandenburg and
Jefferson Chandler are named as Mr..
Hutchins' solicitors.

As a general rule meat once day is sufficient

bulk Of food eaten.
But many of the most nutritious foods are diff
cult of digestion and ID is of no to advise brain
workers to eat largely OF grains and vegetables
where the digestion is too weak to assimiate them
properly. TtE
1t is always best to get the hest results from our
food that some simple and / harmless digestive
should be taken after mst1s to assist the relaxed
digestive organs, and several years Experience
have proven Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets to be a
very safe, pleasant and effective digestive and a
remedy which may be taken daily with the best
results.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can hardly be called
patent medicine as they do not act on the
bowels nor any particular organ, but only on the
food eaten. They supply what weak stomschs
lack pepsin diastase and by stimulating the gastric
glands increase the natural secretion Of hydro.
chloric acid.
People who make daily practice Of taking one
or two Of stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each
meal are sure to have perfect digestion, which
means perfect health.
There il no danger Of forming an injurious habit
as the tablets contain absolutely nothing but nat
ural digestives; cocaine. morphine and similar
drugs have no place in stomach medicine, am
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are certainly the best

REDEEMING POSTAL CARDS.
RECENT ORDER APPEARS CONTRA
RY TO LAW.

Statute Law Prohibits Postmasters
From DispOsing of stamps in Any
Manner Except for Cash-The
Third Assistant Postmaster Gener-
ais Order Is Directly Contrary to
This, and May Get the Department
in a Hole as Well as the Postmas-
ters Who Obey II.
Washington, July 24.--Postmasters
throughout the country will be inter-
ested in legal question brought to the
attention of the Postmaster General
to-day in connection with the order re-
! Gently issued by the Third Assistant
Postmaster General relative to the re-
demption of postal cards by postmas-
tiers in postage stamps. Sometime ago
the third assistant postmaster general
: issued q general order, authorizing
postmasters to redeem uncanceled pos
tai cards, at the rate of rs per cent.
of their face value. in postage stamps
The order is to go into effect Aug. /,
1902.
The Postmaster in one of the largest
cities in the United States. who seems
to be familiar with the law on the
subject, to-day called the attention of
the Postmaster General to the law,
which he claims is more binding than
a mere departmental law, to the effect
that mo postmaster shall sell or dis
pose of stamps in any manner, except
for cash, under penalty of fine or i'm
prisonment."
Under the most liberal construction
of the law on this subject, II is claim
ed that the order of the third assistant
postmaster general cannot be carried
out in accordance with law. The sub
ject is presented to the Postmaster
General with such force that he feels
bound to take notice of 1t, and the
Attorney General will be asked to pass
upon the question before the order
goes into effect.
Under the circumstances postmas-
tiers will be slow in giving over post
age stamps for postal cards in the face
of existing law. At the Postoffice De-
partment there is a question as to
whether the order Of the third assist
ant postmaster general can Gupercede
existing law in this matter.
Would Benefit Junk Dealers.
Some interesting details are brought
out In connection with this subject at
the department. IL appears that the
principal beneficiaries under the re-
cent order will probably be junk deal
ers who have bought up, as waste pa
per old postal cards upon which adj
Vertisements have been printed, but
never used. This same class of postal
matter was redeemed in cash years ago
at the rate Of 20 per cent. of it's
face value. 1t is roughly estimated that
the government win be required to pay
out in stamps something like one mil
lion dollars, in direct violation of law,
If the recent order of the third assist
ant postmaster general is enforced.
Besides every postmaster who disposes
Of stamps in his possession for postal
cards will be liable to fine and impris-
onTnent.
The decision Of the Attorney General
viii be anxiOusly looked for by inter-
ested postmnsters. Pending the decis-
ion. no effort will be made on the part
of the postal authorities to enforce the
order referred to.

David B. Hills letter to the MISSISSIPPI
pi Democrats in full. Mr.. Hills letter
was read by w. S. McAllister of Mad

Senator Hill says in part:
"Our duty at the present time Is the
promotion of unity: the avoidance of
recriminations among leading men,
and the exercise of a spirit of concil-
iation among all factions in every sec
ton of the country. There is no need
of any reorganization of the
party. The party of Jefferson.

enough for us. We need to avoid
divisions about abstract questions, and
we should only press to the front
those timely issues upon which there
is substantial accord among all Dem
ocrats.
THE preservati ton Of constitutional
liberty, wherever our flag permantly
floats; opposition to dangerous COR
poratons and other monopolies, which
prevent legitimate competition, and
operate to the detriment of the peo-
pie; insistence upon state rights upder
the guarantees Of the constitution;
public taxation for public purposes on

and the maintenance of the personal
liberty of the citizens. These are is
sues, among others, upon which there is
no division of sentiment among DEM
ocrats, and upon which all can unite,
North, South, East and West.
That the Democracy of the whole
country mag be united in the great
contests which await us, and that
Democratic principles may be once
more triumphant In the nation, is my
sincere wish"

slant, persistent, steadfast defense of
the interests of the people at all times
under all circumstances and on all
questions. To lose faith in the expe-
dieney of such a course is to lose faith
in the onlnipotence of truth. Upon
this basis we can not only harmonize
all who are Democratic in sentiment
and sympathy, but we can draw to
our party those of the opposition who
cherish Democratic ideas, but have
been misled by Republican arguments.
