DELAYED appointment. but he quickly

delayed appointment, but he quickly
jumped to the conclusion that he was
under suspicion. With flush he wrote
out his resignation and handed 1t over
the table to the president. He was hot
with Indignation at having been con-
demned without a hearing, and resolv-
ed in his own mind as soon as he was
private citizen once more to have the
satisfaction Of proving that he had
been wrongly accused. Before he had
time, however, to open his lips on the
subject, the stern face of Grant relax
ed, and he added:
"And now, Mr.. Tyner, want you to
accept the postmaster Generalship."
1t was merely practical joke from
a man who rarely INDUCED himself in
that way. Tyner tried to smile as he
bowed his acceptance, but he could
not.
II am pleased to have been promot-
ed" he said to friend afterward; but
went through few minutes of such
feeling as have never had before, and
hope may never again. To the pres
ident the, thing seemed only a bit of
humor, but l would rather throw over
my advancement than repeat that ex-
perience."

ken and must be executed with prompt.
ness. This the authorities at Evans
vile did, to their everlasting credit
and as ever must follow such a
course the power of outlawry was
crushed.
There appears to be an attempt on
the p;,rt OF some to condemn the
action of the militia on the contention
that it fired the first shot. This, how
ever, is as cowardly as it is impos-
sible to determine. 1t further gives
evidence of the contemplating of
mob, in that it is unwilling to bear
the responsibility of the conflict which
its action precipitated.
There is absolutely no ground for up
holding the deeds of the Evansville
mob. Though it is regrettable that
this clash was brought on and result
ed SO disastrously as to life, the city
and state authorities should be heart
lily commended for their heroic main
tenance of the law and the protection
of property and prisoners in their
charge. The action of Governor Dur
bin and his determination to blot out
lawlessness should be a matter of
qualification to the people of the Uni
ted States.

ALLISON OPTIMISM.

Des Moines Register and Leader
Senator Allison is quoted by William
e. Curtis as saying.
II see no reason why our prosperity
should not continue, although / would
have our people heed the warnings Of
some of our wisest financial authorized
who feel apprehensive. Our exportf
are large and growing, and come from
our soil and workshops. Our import
are increasing but they are chiefly raw
products for the use of our manufac.
turers, who work them up and export
them as finished products, giving the
price of the labor and the profits to
our own people. AS long as these con.
ditions continue we ought not to feal
financial disaster, although it is always
wise to avoid extravaganza"
Others like Senator Allison can see
no signs of business stagnation, either
now or in the future. Perhaps the sup
erstition that every once in SO often
we must have dull times may serve
to bring them on without any cause.

CANAL SITUATION.

Interest in the action to be taken
by the congress of Colombia on the
canal treaty remains undated in the
United States. Since the converting
OF that body the halls of congress in
Bogota have been re-echoing with the
eloquence of legislators, who have in
their keeping the fate of the inter-
oceanic waterway measure. Many and
varied reports have reached the United
States as to the cause for the delay in
the ratification of the treaty. 1t APP
pears however, that the members of
the Colombian congress are not mater
tally interested in the benefits or the
detriment that will be incurred by
their country by the contamination of
the canal proposition. but that the
greater amount of time is being con-
sumed with the debate of minor and
entirely unimportant matters.
Indications are that outside inter-
ests are at work among the members
Of the Colombian legislature with a
view to delay if not to defeat the
measure. The filibustering methods
employed, however, are crude in the
extreme and it seems apparent that
large financial interests in the United
States opposed to the construction of
the canal are at the bottom OF the af-
fair. The American people have watt
ed long for the contamination of the
canal. They have made UP their minds
that the canal is just what is need
ed and they are determined to have it.
That some of their numbers may be
engaged in opposing the project will
not deter them in their purpose. Pa
tience will no longer cease to be vir-
tue and it will not be surprising if the
American people suddenly abandon
the Colombian proposition and seek
their desires in a place where they
may meet with consummation

SENATOR DoLLlvER AT ALBA.

Abba Rephblican-It is useless ia
say that the people do not want to
hear Fourth of July address when it
is of Delivers kind. Fully 1000 peo.
pie heard him and as many more were
there anxious to hear if they could
have done So In this we are differing
from the speaker for the first thing hi
said was that the Fourth of july or
atory of twenty-five years ago was OBJ
solete, it has given place to the merry
go-round, the ball game. the giant fire,
cracker and the lunch basket. The
suburb of every vast crowd like this
is romance of loves young dream.
= Thus he went on for an hour and
thirty minutes over history's pages,
only touching the high places, but MAX
ing an impression on the public mind
that was splendid and will last as long
as thought lives. He asked that we
love our country's history. The COS
pei as taught in the interest tables is
not enough for Americans. Stand with
Webster Clay, Lincoln, Grant, McKin-
ley and all the great patriots of free
dom of mankind, for intelligence
patriotism and sublime manhood. II
seemed that Mr.. Dolliyer had only Civ.
en- his introduction for those who have
heard him at sundry times and divers
places knew that he has in this great
speech golden paragraphs on the civil
war and the reconstruction periods of
our history and these he could not pre-
sent for lack of time though the crowd
| shouted as one man: go on, Go on!
He said in substance that the real
question the greatest truth OF it all
is: IAN equal chance for every one be-
fore the law" Pointing to the future
he said There are two threatening
dangers which l must omit; one the
mistreatment of the colored eNby
lynchings and the other the capital
and labor difficulties. These must be
amicably settled or grave results must
follow. The Declaration of Independ-
ence is the golden rule of arbitration
and We should accept it. His tribute
to the arm of the SOS as the greatest
military body on earth whose war was
not for conquest but for freedoms
cause was eloquent beyond descrip-
| ton

THE CHOICE OF A POPE.

Public interest in the selection OF
successor to Pope Leo XIII is largely
shared by the American people. Dur.
ing the past quarter of century the
American branch of the church has re-
ceiyed considerable attention inasmuch
as Pope Leo always seemed to be es-
pecially interested in the progress of
his people. 1t is desired by the Amer
lean Catholics that this branch of the
church should retain the same place al
the vatican to which it has now be-
come accustomed and this fact makes
the choice of new pontiff of more
than ordinary interest.
1t is desirable that the new pope
should be man of broad mind and
liberal views and thoroughly acquaint-
ed with the modern living and think
ing There is an exceedingly slight
probability that a non-Italian may be
chosen to the pontificate Should such
occur Cardinal Gibbons, the only
American Catholic of that rank, would
in all probability be the man. Such
an outcome would be eminently sat
isfactory to the people of the United
States. Cardinal Gibbons is a true
American, both as to birth and views.
He Is a learned and able churchman.
Such result is. however, hardly prob
able. 1t is more than likely that an
Italian will be selected.
Excepting Gibbons, the favored high
churchmen for the Office among the
American Catholics,is Cardinal Satolli,
who for time resided in this country
as the special representative of the
pope. During this time he became
thoroughly acquainted with American
m ethods and imbued with American
life and ideas. His choice would be
eminently satisfactory to the Ameri-
cans.
At this time, however, a canvass of
the situation indicates that it is much
more probable that the papal mantle
will fall upon Rampolla, Vannuttelli,
GOTH or some other Italian cardinal
1t is probable that the college will try
to combine age with wisdom, piety and
saintliness. There will be many can
didates and the choice may result in
a victory for some dark horse In
the interim news from Rome will be
read with interest in all parts of the
world.

gg NOT DECEIVED.

Wanted. Young men to prepare for
government positions. Fine openings
in all departments. Good salaries Rap
i'd promotions. Examinations soon
Particulars free.
In various papers throughout the
country similar notices to the above
often appear. They are read by large
number of men Throughout the nation
some of whom being unfamiliar with
the conditions existing in the govern
ment service at once begin to have
dreams of an easy life with large in
comes. tits indeed pleasant picture
and one that is calculated to tempt
many an impulsive person into giving
up what he may have in the search for
something easy.
1t is almost surprising that any citi-
zen of the United States should be.
come Influenced with such an offer.
True there are some very good paying
positions in the employ OF the gov
eminent but these are only attained
after years OF arduous service. Gener-
ally speaking, in fact, promotions in
the departments in Washington come
exceedingly slow and it is only
the gray-haired men who are holding
the best positions under the civil SER
vice regulations. If the promotions
come as rapidly as these notices would
indicate it would seem that the SEN
ators and congressman. who are be-
sieged with a continual demand from
their constituents for government posi-
tions. might find relief in recommends
ing to them this method of getting into
the employ of the government.
There will always lie positions, and
good positions too, with the govern
melt, but it is well for the young men
who contemplate entering it's service,
to remember that they will find no soft
snap, that the way may be long and
ltediou1 and that it will be only through
tEe.r ability to do things" that they
may finally attain a place that will
yield them good returns.

UPHOLD THE LAW AT ANY COST

Lamentable as it is that many inno-
cent suffer with the guilty in times
OF riot, the action. of the municipal
authorities and the militia in dealing
with the mob in Evansville, is thor
oughly commendable. Mobs are the
landmarks of lawlessness. They are
formed in the heat of passion and their
yillianous accomplishments are the
outgrowth of the workings of fren-
zied minds, their acknowledged object
being the performance of deeds in d.
rect violation of law
The demand of the Indiana mob
was the life of negro who had kill
ed an officer. The guilty, man had
been arrested and lodged in the coun-
ty Jail. His punishment by the law
was sure. What need, then, the men
of that city should attempt to mete
out that punishment. Clearly there
was none. AS the noisy and lawless
gathering moved in the direction OF
the Jail on Monday night the curios
ity Of some of Evansville's citizens at
tracted them to the scene. The arm
of the law was there and when the
attempt was made to violate it with
a high hand the clash came 1t was
short, decisive and fatal in it's results
The power of the outlaws was broken
the dignity of the law maintained
though it cost the lives of several per
sons.
There is no room for quibbline
over the question of which side fired
the first shot The mob was there
It was there for the purpose of violat
ing, the law. The guardians of the
peace and order of the city and state
were there to preserve the property
and the prisoners of the common
wealth. They were the representa-
tives of the people. Their duty was
plain.
At such a time as that there is mo-
an instant for hesitation. When the
mob begins to move the representa-
tives of the law have no time tt

WHENCE THE "PlZEN"?

Emporia (Kansas) Gazette: Pro-
fessor Haworth is puzzling over
one feature of the Kaw flood. What
ever the water touched it blighted
Where animals stood in the water, the
hair came off, and was often follow
ed by the skin. This has been found
true in almost every instance. And
where the water went, vegetable life
has been blighted. Hardly q green
leaf has been left after being touched
by the waters. Trees that would ordi-
narily grow and flourish in the water
have withered and died after stand
ing in the flood waters. Why? What
did the water hold in solution that was
deadly poison to both vegetable and
animal life? That is the question
Prof. Haworth is going to try to an
swer.-Lawrence Gazette.
An eastern scientific sharp says that
the Kansas flood was caused by the
eruption of Mount Pelee. He says that
the volcano threw dust away above the
cloud line and the air line over this
earth, and that when the earth came
sailing around to the place in the uni
verse where it left this dust after a
years trip around the sun, old Mrs.
Earth ran squarely into it, and that
the dust precipitated the moisture in
great quantities, and hence the Kansas
flood, Professor Haworth can take
this theory and work with it.. Maybe
some of the noxious stuff in the water
came from Mount Pelee. The Ga.
zette is no scientist. The theory prev.
alent in this Office is that the water
killed vegetation because the water
was only half wet, and that the sand
which composed the other half of the
water ground the hair of the critters,
and choked the vegetation to death.
There is still another theory: The
flood started in the Fifth district. Pos
sibly it absorbed some of the things
Senator Burton had been thinking of
the senatorial candidacy of Congress-
man Calderhead. They are certainly

HOW THE SOUTH is GETTING RID
OF ITS BAD NEGROES.

New Orleans Times-Demorcat: In
the agreements reached between the
whites and negroes in a number of the
southern towns intended to check race
prejudice and prevent race friction, the
industrious and law-abiding negroes.
who are most interested in the preser-
walton of law and order, have agreed to
inform the authorities of all crimes and
violations of the law committed by
their people and to assist in arresting
all guilty negroes.
This promise on their part has great
ly facilitated the law and order orga-
nizations in getting rid of all danger.
GUS and criminal blacks congregate&
in the several towns. With their de-
parture has come a peace the full ex-
tent of which the industrious negroes
are only just beginning to appreciate.
Could these conditions be brought
about throughout the south, or through
any large portion of it, the most i'm.
portant negro question would be set
tied and the negro would be able to
fully appreciate the advantages offered
him here of pursuing any occupation
for which he is fit, of working and maxi
ing money, of enjoying life of peace,
free from interruption and disturbance
of any kind. With plenty of work,
with crops for which he is best suited,
with climatic conditions that favor
him, the south is the ideal home of the
negro. Nowhere has he Jared better,
and if he keeps on friendly relations
with the whites he has nothing to COM
plain of. II be does not keep on friend
ly terms the cause is always the same
the negro loafer, utterly worthless
and preferripg crime to work as
means of livelihood In the north this
negro is in demand for political rea--
sons; he is coddled politically, but re-
fused work or other assistance, and as
consequence the negro population is
growing smaller except in the cities,
where they fare badly In the south
the negro fares well industriously, and
will see nearly all his troubles vanish
if he will cooperate with the white
authorities in suppressing his worst
enemiesvthe criminal and depraved OF
his own race. With these out of the
way, he can prove his industry, obedi.
enee to the law and other many good
points.

ONE OF GEN. GRANTS JOKES.

Washington letter to the New York
Evening Post: The disappearance of
Assistant Attorney General Tyner's Of
fetal light in cloud of gloom recalls
story which used to be told in Wash
ington of an experience of his in the
Grant administration. 1t appears that
the widow of military officer who had
studied with Grant at West Point was
an applicant for a position in the post
Office department. She had applied to
Grant directly, who had given her a
note to Postmaster General Jewell.
telling him to provide for her. Some
days later the woman came again, and
Grant sent for Jewell and questioned
him about the case. Jewell answered
that the presidents letter had been
mislaid and overlooked, and promised
that the appointment should be made
at once. The next time they met he
responded to the presidents question
that the appointment had been made,
but few days afterwards in came the
woman again. She said she had never
received any notice of appointment
and was not aware that anything had
been done. Grant was very angry.
Some of the gossips of that day said
that it was the case of this widow
which caused the final rupture be-
tween Grant and Jewell Whatever
the truth may be that was the notion
in the minds of the subordinate officers
of the department, and they were
prompt to put two and two together,
when they learned that Grant had sent
for Jewell and said to him: "Mr. Jew
ell, want your resignation in writ
ing, and | want it now"
Jewell, of course, complied Tyner,
who was first assistant postmaster
general, had been summoned, too, and
was called into the room as Jewell
quilted it. He knew all about the at.
fair of the Widows disappointment,
and the story flashed across his mind
when he heard the president say to
him: @Mr. Tyner, will trouble you
for your resignation as first assistant
postmaster general"
Tyner was unconscious of any wrong
in connection with the Widows long
