Radical Changes PrObable.

President Dickinson is stopping at the
Raleigh, and in discussing the matters
which are likely to come before the com
mittee, he said many radical changes
would be suggested. Under the present
law there are many ipjustices and an
omalies which are to be done away with.
Under the present law the salaries were
not commensurate in ninety cases out OF
a hundred with the work the recipients
were doing. To illustrate he called at
tention TO his home Office. where an as
sistant superb. .endent Of carriers at the
main Office, with 207 men under him re-
cefved only 81 400 a year, while the SUI
perintendent of a sUb-carrier station,
who had only five carriers to supeTin-
tend, received 81. POO a year.
He cited another case OF a man. in a
Western city. who had become super
intendent of registered mail, and VINO
performed the duties of the Office 70 the
complete satisfaction of his superiors
and the people, but who retained his
rank as a distributor because as such
he received S1,4OO a year, the more i'm
portant place paying only $500.

Inadequate Salaries.

Attention was also called TO the pay
ment of ROO a year to a certain class
OF superintendent, while their assist
ants, men who are required to do work
of a similar character and who in every
case are men of attachments equal TO
those of the superintendent, receive
only 81 400 a year. It was said that con-
ditions similar 10 these were common in
all grades. and in nearly all the post
Offices Of the country. The purpose g
the committee is TO readjust salaries and
To make suggestions which will better

The Mississippi Poultry aud Pet

day. Nearly allvsrieties of domes-

it the largest exhibit of poultry ever

business and make OK hibits of their

1t Is interesting to- observe MIR.
Roosevelt's discontinue about the
Indianola affair and how anxious
he is to spring something in
justification of his unlawful act in
closing the postoffice at that town 4.
He has attempted TO have the mat
ter Investigated by Congress, hop
ing that something will happen to
relieve him of the scathing criti-
cism that is being directed against
him. In order to accomplish this
he has asked Mr.. Spooner TO cham
pion him in the Senate and Mr..
Crumpacker to do likewise in the
House, but other Republican lead
ers who had not been consulted
nipped the game in the bud and
made it uncertain whether the
muddle will be probed by Congress
at all. No good could come Of it
if it were, since the Congress is
largely Republican and would not
censure Roosevelt for fear it would
react on the party in 1904. The
best thing for Mr.. Roosevelt to do
is to acknowledge the wrong he
has done by reopening the post
office and to turn from the mad
negro policy that is destined to
turn him out of the White House
and retire him to private life.

TO say, or even to attempt to utter
words of comfort to her beloved

their anguish and only God can
heal their wounds. Still they sor-
row as one having no hope.

Abra,,, S. Hewitt.


The death of Abram s. Hewitt
of New York removes from public
view splendid type of metropoli-
tan life. as we'll as an admirable
representative of the American
spirit. 1t is difficult to reflect
upon his career and not to recog-
nize that he was a whole man in
every relation of life. As much
as any other citizen of the repub-
lie he was deservedly famous for
public-spiritedness, patriotism and
philanthropy Throughout his
many years he wac essentially a
workers. leader in that large
army of producers who have made
and kept this nation what it is.
From a condition almost of pow
erty he came to be merchant
prince, but the wealth he amassed
was made, not out of. what others
lost, but rather out of his own Ca
pacity to originate aud execute
plans which helped his fellow-men.
Withal, he recognized that the
making of a living is comparatively
unimportant. and that the knowing
how to live is the thing supreme.
His civic responsibility he dis
charged from early manhood on
ward to old age He engaged ac-
lively in politics, realizing as he
did that intense participation of
the individual in affairs of govern
ment is the life blood of republics:
and " neither as private citizen, AS
Congrr ssman or as mayor of New
York he demonstrated that he was
ruled by convictions, and that no
/ power under heaven could cajole
or intimidate him when once his
mind had been resolutely made up.
TO the whole country his death is
misfortune. By Americans of
the South the news that he is no
more will be read with sense of
intimate personal sorrow; for al
! though in recent years he has not
sympathized with the dominant
political thought in this section.
the Southern people remember how
+ levotedly he defended their inter
ats at n time when they sorely
needed friend at the North. MIR.
Hewitt's congressional record is
one that the Southern people will
not willingly let die. 1t is not for
gotten that i'm times which tried
mems souls lines in which dom
inant public sentiment at the
North seemed inclined to plumber
the South in her poverty, Cypress
her in her weakness and mock at
her in her calamity-Mr. Hewitt
supported aud sustained her with
his splendid intellect and moral
courage. To him as much per-
haps as to any other Northern man
is due the recalling of Federal
troops from the South in 1877, and
the lattet unifying of the nation.
New Workers are perfectly correct
in thinking that they hare lost
their best and greatest citizen. In
her sorrow New York will receive
the sympathy of the whole coun-
try.-New Orleans Times Demo
