Father, Mini. Ii. +. Brimberry, as
Postmaster at Albany-OId Charges
Resurrected Against Present In

His SOn-Rome POstmastershipS tin
Undecided, But Capt. Helm Claims
He Has Been Assured of Appoint
ment.
Washington, May 9.-The Senate to-
day confirmed the nomination of John
II. Deveaux as collector at Savannah.
Both Georgia senators voted against
confirmation, but as the only grounds
for opposition to him were based on his
color the Senate voted them down.
Postmaster General Payne announced
to-day that Hal Brimberry is to be
appointed postmaster at Albany to sue
coed his father, Maj. b. F. Brimberry.
The contest over this office has at
tracted much attention. Maj. Brimber-
ry was very strongly endorsed both by
Republicans and by the people of AL
bany for reappointment, but some of
MS opponents untdTIneQ SOME Chdl SeS
against him which. while not believed
by the postal authorities, still were
considered of enough importance to
make his nomination impossible. After
his friends had made every effort to
get Postmaster General Payne TO
change his mind and having found 1t
impossible to do So they transferred
their endorsements TO his son and the
postmaster general very promptly Sc
cured the Presidents approval of the
latter's appointment.
Capt. Helm, assistant postmaster at
Rome, is here and has had conference
with Postmaster General Payne. He
says he has been assured that he will
be appointed. 1t is probable that his
name will not be sent in for several
days. Judge Maddox has been called
to Georgia and has requested that no
appointments be made until he re-
turns.
Senator Bacon was before the Com
mittee on Public Buildings to-day in
the interest of the additional appro-
priations asked for different Georgia
cities. The committee has not yet
reached a decision on any of these mat
ters.

OBITUARY.
MIR. Randolph Axson.

MIR. Randolph Arson died yesterday
afternoon at Summerville, S. c. He
left Savannah about a week ago for
that place. hoping that the change
would be beneficial to his health. In
this hope his family and friends join
ed, but it seemed that the ravages of
disease could not be stopped. A stroke
of apoplexy day before yesterday fell
heavily, and it was seen that it was
but matter of hours until his death.
About year ago Mr.. Arson began
to suffer from weak action of the
heart. From time to time this COM
plalnt gave him considerable trouble.
He exercised every precaution, but
the complaint could not be cured. FL
nally deciding that it would benefit
him, possibly, to take a trip, he left
with his daughter, Miss Ellen, for
Summerville.
A telegram apprised the members of
his family in Savannah of the stroke
of apopleXy and the desperate con-
dtion of Mr.. Arson. Mr. B. Palmer
Arson, son, and Miss Alethea S.
and Miss Carrie Belle Arson, daught-
ers, left as soon as possible for
Summervile and arrived there before
the death of their parent. Mr.. Ran
dolph K. Arson, another son, left yes
terday afternoon. He scarcely had
time to reach Summerville before the
end came.
The remains will be brought to Sa-
Vannah for interment. The funeral
service will be held from the Indepen-
dent Presbyterian Church tomorrow
afternoon. 1t is probable that it will
be largely attended.

nah, where he had many friends and
acquaintance. He was a man of deep
Christian piety and noble traits of
character. He was reared in a house
hold that might have been looked to
for the perfection of such virtues as
were his. His father was Rev DR.
/. S. K. Arson, the late lamented and
revered pastor of the Independent
Presbyterian Church. Mr.. Arson was
member of that church for many
years and was one of its elders.
In business Mr.. Arson was recog-
nized as sterling in his integrity He
was the head of the firm of Randolph
Axson & Sons, cotton factors and COM
mission merchants.
MIR. Arson was a member of the Con-
federate Veterans Association. During
the Civil War he served in Washing
tons Artillery, which was organized in
New Orleans. The veterans will at
tend the funeral.
The surviving members of Mr.. Ak
sons family are named above. Mrs.
Arson died about year ago, and her
husband never quite got over her loss.
When she died the sympathy of a wide
circle of friends welled forth to the
bereft husband and children. Now that
the loving father is no more, friends
will again mourn with the children in
the new grief that has befallen them

of the Roman historian.
Locke gave most of his attention to
works of philosophy. He said: IT

The elder Pitt liked Shakespeare, but
not the labor of reading plays. He en-

he had learned more English history at
the theater than at the university.

Unique Charleston.
From the New York Press.

Charleston is the only city in the
United States in which the publication
of women's names is objected TO by
the women themselves and their men
folks. That shows what a relic the
grand old city of 1860 is. Up here in
New York our society boasts its So
cial secretaries, whose duty it is to
inform the newspapers of the move
ments of matrons and dowagers en-
ploying them. The highest salaried
secretaries are those young women who
succeed by hook or crook in captur-
ing the most space in the daily jour
mails. One bright girl receives SIS a
week from the wife of a paper gen.
eral for keeping that iadys name be-
fore the public.

cupied the chair, said the party as
party had formally withdrawn
from participation in the corona

for the purpose of protesting against
the usurpation of Irish government
by England. King Edward, he ad-
ded, was not the constitutional
monarch Of Ireland. No English
sovereign had been so since the
union.
A resolution which was adopted
declared that Ireland separates
herself from the coronation rejoic-
ing of her merciless oppressors and
stands apart in her rightful discon-
tent and disaffection.
John Dillon said England was
unable to drag Ireland as a willing
slave behind her in the triumphal
march. through London streets to-
day.

PLAIN TALK FROM BOSTON.
This is the reason why the drift
of political sentiment is toward
such a reform of the tariff as will
make the prolific mother of trusts
less fecund henceforth. Her fero-
cious progeny have exhibited their
cruelty avaricious disposition so
recklessly that the plain people who
are not sharers in their wanton
plundering are thoroughly and just
lv alarmed. This issue is taking
precedence OF all others in the pop
ular Judgment. The reason is that
it is Immediately pressing. 1t di-
rectly affects the housing, the warm
ing, the clothing, the nourishing,
the comfort and hopes of the vast
majority of Americans who are not
shareholders of the inordinately eX-
banded capital which levies merci-
less imposts on their scanty earn
ings. They are forced to cry out in
protest. The alternative is submits
sion to a grinding rapacity which
makes their wages relatively lower
and their lives more barren of
homely comforts than in what are
considered less prosperous times.
They know that their industry is
producing greater aggregate wealth,
which is being appropriated by a
few of the people, through arts and
devices that make the proportion of
those whose toll earns it less than
before. There is unexampleI luxu-
~, but they are not partakers of
Fortunes Iargess.
The gulf between the rich and
the poor, always deep and wide, is
deepening and widening year by
year. To be sure, charity-that
kind of charity which consists of
giving a part Of ones superhuity,
no matter how gotten, to the needy
and TO institutions for the needy
increases; but not in fair proper
ton to the increase OF gain. Our
modern plutocrats give millions
with less personal sacrifice than the
rich men Of our earlier day gave
thousands. What the honest, self
respecting working people Of this
country. a large majority OF all,
want Is not charity, but justice.
They rejoice not in being dependent,
bat in being independent. They
properly ask means to earn enough
to take care OF themselves and their
families from youth to age, and to
live their own lives bravely, unbe-
holden to anybody except for the
consideration that their work should
command. They do not aspire to
the condition when they will have
to be the grateful for the crumbs
that fall from the rich mans table.

IN THIS DISTRICT
Judge Hayes Will Relieve Judge WiCkersllam, Who Will Return to the Third Judicial Divisier--W oOd's Successor Not Appointed.

As stated elsewhere. the Elk brought but few late papers, the NUGGET being fortunate to secure few.
 One of the most important b.ts of news received is the statement made by Mr. Bar, hrop and other, of the Elko' crew that A. E. Hayes of Ogden. Utah. has been appointed to succeed Judge Arthur II Moves in this judicial division.
 To a NUGGET repre sentative Mr. Barthrop said that this news was all sOlutely authentic, and it was stated that Judge Hayes would sail for Nome early in June.
 Judge Wickersham will return tothe third division upon the arrival of Judge Hayes in Nome.
 No appointment of district attorney had been made at the time of the Elk s sailing. but it was stated that Jos. K. Wood wonld be relieved of the office and would not return 10 Nome in aa official capacity at any rate.
 The news that Judge Wickersham is not 10 be retained in Nome comes as a surprise as it was confidently believed that he would be transferred to this di- vision
