LINCOLN AND BEEf HER.
Outlook

We may be very sure that neither
Mr. Beecher nor Mr.. Lincoln would, If

in the southern states today Mr..
Lincoln would not. because ne did not

Beecher would not. because he did not
believe in imposing his own beliefs on
a community which did not accept

not ended Mr.. Lincoln would have
trusted the people in the southern
states to deal justly with the race

trusted the people of the southern
states 10 deal justly with the race

southern states under negro dOmina-

DEMOCRACY'S TEST,

In the eye of the world the demo
cratic party must inevitably suffer if
it fails of response to the demands
which are laid upon it. 1t is the party
of capacity, the repository of strength;
potentially it is supreme, suited by
organic principle to the development
Of all those principles which are dis
tinctly American. A great occasion
lies before it. The time is ripe for an
exercise of its power.
The sins and errors of the republic
can stewardship are written with a
pen of iron and the point of a dia-
mOnd; craven upon the peoples tab
lets beside the peoples affairs. And
louder than any jeremiad are the
threats of the republican party in its
announced trust tariff policy; a policy
to be executed unless that party is de-
throned. The people fear the contin
ued rule of privileged interests and
look to democracy for deliverance-
not to a democracy which is an aggre
gate Earring of factions, but to a dem
purposes Of the nation. A revolt from
republican rule will promise nothing

mentality of the people or resign tina

THE NORTH NO BETTER.

Altogether too little regard is paid
by many persons in the South for the
life Of the negroes. One can hardly
pick I'D newspaper these days but
there is an account of hanging,
burning or shooting Of a negro Grim
inal 1t is disregard Of law to inflict
punishment without first giving the
courts an opportunity TO pass upon
the caSe-UniOn.
What the Union says is true. but II
should not cOnfne its censure for dis
regard of the law 10 the people Of the
South. The only reason there are not
more negro lynchings in the North is
because there are comparatively few
negroes. In Kansas and Colorado
negroes have been burned at the stake
and horrible lynchings of negro muir
derers or ravishers have occurred in
other Northern states. At Belleville,
Illinois, last Saturday, W. T. Wyatt
negro school teacher. was burned
by a frenzied mob for shooting and
mOrtally wOunding County School Su-
perintendent Charles Hertel.
Wyatt had been arrested and taken
to jail What occurred afterwards
was thus told in the dispatches:
Two hours later a mob stormed the
jail. secured the negro and despite the
appeals of the mayor and other Off
Gals he was hanged. Hertel was re

fore he was hanged Wyatt asserted
| the shooting was the result Of pOlit-
ical grudge.
The mob hanged Wyatt to a tele-
! phone pole in the public square. Even
while his body was in the thrOes OF

friends that if we are all good Ameri-
cans that is enough platform for all
of us to stand on
Now it is safe to say that only III
the case of democrats who purpose TO

Roosevelt thus partial to the idea 81
a man abandoning his party. Should
he hear of a republican who has made
I'D his mind to vote the democratic
ticket next year, the presidents s'orh

in evidence. For Mr.. Roosevelt Is es-
sentially and temperamentally par
tisan. One cannot conceive OF his
supporting democrat against repup-
lican, or as condOning the act on the
part of any othe' member Of his party.
In his warm appreciation of the sup
port of the democratic mayor OF
Dwight. however, the president anus
ingly illustrates the worldly wisdom OF
the old saving to the effect that it
makes a lot of difference whose OK

to make an appeal to the bank 10
withdraw its contention made in Judge
Hanford's court that the tve-ml!i
school tax was illegally assessed and
that il is therefore null and void. II

seriously affect the validity OF the
warrants to be issued and would cause
the directors serious embarrassment
Other taxpayers might follow the
example of the bank in refusing tc

The district would be left in a most
deplorable financial condition. The
board should lay the case before Sen

few hundred dollars. His patriotic
impulses should lead him to make this

schools is even more important than
the retention of the rural delivery

REPLY OF 1'ULLOCH
TO THE DEFENSE
Made by Postmaster Merrill and Oth'
err Postoffce Officials Under
SUSPICION,

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Seymour w.
Tulloch. formerly cashier OF the
Washington City postoffice, under date
of June has written letter 10 fost
master-General Payne in response 10
replies received from Postmaster Mer-
rift of the Washington postohce anu
others to the charges OF maladnlhls-
tratiOn made by Mr.. Tulloch against
tho MANAGEMENT of the Washington
pOstOffice.
A large part of Mr.. Tullochs letter
is in defense Of counter charges maze
nv Mr. Merritt against Mr.. Tulloch.
Mr., Tulloch says that the charge that
under his regime as CASHIER OF the
Washington postoffice quarterly pay
rolls were required to be signed III
blank. even if rrue, would only pro-
duce a smile in Washington, where
probably the greater portion OF govern
mental employees sign payrolls III
blank
The charge that "a false voucher
had been put in while Mr.. Tulloch
was cashier. he says. was only an
attempt TO discredit him. and even
Mr.. Merritt admits that the transact
ION was directed by the postmaster.
recognized by the assistant pOStmaS-
ter and the money retained was PAID
to persons duly designated.
Served Without Pay.
The facts, he says, are that substl-
tutes named by the civil service COM
mission served the pOstOtfice without
pay except when they filled temporary
" the places Of clerks and received
their pay. AS some clerks failed to
pav their substitutes, the postmaster
directed that previously to payment
of clerks who had been absent the
signed receipts in full OF the substitute
should be put in the clerks pay en-
velope and paid to the substitute by
his division superintendent.
The particular instance cited by
Postmaster Merritt, he says, was
where an emplOye. after drunken
spree, was fined rather than dismiss
ed. and the money divided by his su-
perintendent among subs for services
rendered the postmaster by written
order directing the cashier to do this.
Mr.. Tulloch declares that while in Of
fee he did report regularly to his
immediate superiors and the inspec-
tors.
He denies the charge that he was
mercenary with the late Postmaster
Willett. and says Mr.. Willett himself
suggested payment TO the writer for
settling his accounts. and that Tul-
loch offered to do it for Mr.. WIllett
personally for nothing, but later it
was arranged that some OF the clerks
should do the work, which rela, ed
chiefly to Puerto Rico. Mr.. Tullo>h's

Irregular Payments.

In closing | may state that it has
not been shown to the contrary IN any
of the replies you have published that
irregular payments were made from
local funds instead of by the proper
disbursing officer of the department,
that an attempt was made to cause
all employees to bond under a single
blank bond with some of Tile favored
companies; that the regulations of the
department were violated in forcing
a letter box in which prominent Off
Gals were said to be interested upon
the public even to the unauthorized
use of the pOstmaSter'S authority and
were directed for articles not deliver
ed; that persons We're paid two or
three salaries and performed little
or no service; that a physician was
illegally appointed whose position
was a sinecure. | have been told that
a $500 operating table was purchased
for private use and charged to the
department as postal supplies; that
promotions were suggested upon the
proviso of division with high officials
in the department.; that persons were
appointed from whom no service was
required upon a complimentary roll;
that arrears in Puerto Rico were not
fully discovered: that useless junkets
were frequent to Puerto Rico and Gu
ba; that persons paid from the mill
tary postal service had their salaries
continued for months after ceasing all
| service, and that salaries were also
continued after service had ceased to
| take up irregular expenses
AS to the reply of former First AS
sstant Postmaster-General Heath. Mr..
| Tulloch says:
"All that is necessary is to compare
| my specific charges with his general
| denial"
He then reaffirms that his represent
| atiOns remain in all essential particu
| lars true and not disapproved, and
| closes with a denial that there is anv
office within the gift of the post
| office department that he would ac-
| cept, or that he ever authorized his

considerable measure to the demands
of the reviSiOnists.
The expression changing cOndi
tions and the possible benefits of re-
ciprocity may call for timely readjust-
ment of schedules" the governor re-
CARDS as a clear indication that a
Straddie was attempted. When asked
for an interview on the subject, he
merely said: Il prefer not to be in
terviewed on the Ohio platform. My
views on this subject are so well
known and | have expressed them so
often that it is hardly necessary for
me to indicate them now. ] have not

This statement of the governor is
a sufficient indication in the minds of
his friends here that he has in no
sense abandoned his adherence to
the Iowa idea and that while he
may consent to a compromise in so
far as the shelter TO monopoly plank
Of the platform is concerned, he will
still declare for tariff revision and re
