STIRRED BY the republican rumpus in
Delaware, President Roosevelt has order
ell an investigation of the removal of
Miss Todd, who was in charge of the
postoihce at Greenwood. The situation
was becoming so threatening from his
point of view that he was absolutely
forced to make some show of having
justice done, so he has requested Post
master General Payne to investigate the
case. The latter has made light of the
whole affair, saying he could not
understand why 50 much fuss was being
made over the matter" The Postmaster

THE sanguinay conflict between Chris
tians and Massulmans in the streets OF
Beirut last Sunday in which several Of
Tie former were killed affords a subject
FOR serious thought. 1t is said that
similar troubles are imminentin Smyrna,
Salonica and other places, where over
eighteen hundred years ago the Gospel
was first preached. Thessalonica in
classic DAYS occupied the site of the
Salonica of today. The great apostle
spent a short time there and wrote two
letters to the church at that place. One
of the seven churches of Asia was at
SMYRNA, and it is the only one left OF
those to whom epistles were dictated
from 'the isle which is called Patmos.
Many years have elapsed since the
apocalyptic seer acted as the amanuensis
of the Founder Of the faith. The fore
cast was to the effect that the little band
at Smyrna was to have tribulation.
Judging from the unsettled condition of
affairs in the Leyant and the scenes
now being enacted in Beirut a war
against Christianity is imminent, and
the latter days may bring tribulatiOns to
the flock at Smyrna akin to those it
.assed through at the beginning.

1T Is plain to see that some people in
this country are encouraging the State
cf Panama to secede from the Colombian
-epublic, so that that State can have the
'nter-ocean canal constructed wholly
within her borders and are portraying
the great advantages that would inure to
Panama should the canal be built indie
pendent of the Colombian government 5
sanction. The people of Panama are
also being caioled into the belief that
should they secede they would be sup
ported by the United States and that
war in the Isthmus would open way
for the canal treaty. This government
would put itself in an awkward position
in this day and generation by standing
in the role of an alder and abettor of
secession" The Colombian congress
rejected the Panama canal treaty because
the latter contained provisions repug-
nant TO the republics constitution.
This should settle the matter till the
objections can be legally and properly
overcome and talk in this country of
aiding Panama should she secede should
stop at once.

THURSDAY EVENING, SEPT. 10, 1908.

SECRETARY SHAw's plan OF largely
increasing the deposits Of public money
in the depository national banks has al
ready had two effects, either of which
separately or both of which combined
Gem likely to defeat, in a measure, the
inject which the Secretary hoped to ac-
,omplish. The market price of govern
ment bonds has advanced sharply, the
obvious cause being Mr.. Shaw's an
n9uncement regarding the federal de-
rosits. since the bonds are required by
the treasury. under the law as security
for those deposits. simultaneously with
this rise in bond prices, applications ID
large numbers from national banks have
come to the Comptroller of the Currency
for the retirement Of circulation. The
high prices of bonds in the open mar
ket have evidently been very tempting
TO national banking associations, who
see the advantage in retiring large
amounts of their circulating notes, re-
gaining possession of the bonds which
they had deposited as security for the
circulation and selling them at good
profit over the prices originally paid for
them. Thus, while the volume of circu-
lation throughout the country is being
increased by the new deposits of federal
money in the banks, as Secretary Shaw
desired, this advantage is being offset by
the retirement Of national bank notes.

Plan to Revolutionize Cotton Trade.

Memphis, Sept. 10.-At a meeting at
the GaYoso Hotel yesterday of the Cotton
Buyers Association of America it was
decided to fully organize all the handlers
of cotton in the southern States on a
plan which it was stated would provide
for the establishment and operation of a
gigantic system of warehouses in which
will be gathered the cotton of the entire
South. These warehouses will be es-
tablished at Memphis, New Orleans,
Galveston, Mobile, Pensacola, Atlanta,
Charleston and Savannah. A series of
smaller warehouses will also be built in
the interior part of the cotton growing
districts to take care of the crop as soon
as ginned. By means of warehouses the
cotton buyers of the country propose to
save the growers from SIS, 600, 600 to
$40, 600, 900 annually lost in country
damage. 1t is their intention to force
the Europen manufacturers to come to
America to buy their raw staple and
themselves pay the expense of shipping
it. By so doing they claim to be able
to insure to the grower higher price
for his cotton and place the southern
States absolutely in control of the cotton
trade of the world.

Kaiser Draws Recruits From
ENEMY

Halle, Germany, Sept. 10.-The cav
airy charge during today army manoeu-
vres was a furious one, and it thought
that several persons were injured. When
the Kaiser saw that the Saxons were out
manoeuvred by the Prussians he took all
the cavalry from the Saxons over to the
Prussians. The Saxon advance was thus
stopped by their own cavalry, led by the
Kaiser. The result was that the Saxon
officers became enraged at his majesty
and their comments were more vigorous
than elegant. During the Kaisers
charge many we're endorsed and the am
balances were kept busy. The immense
force threw up such clouds of dust that
it was impossible for the troops to see
even the direction in which they were
going. As result of this one of the
attacks was delivered at a point where
no enemy was present. The umpires,
nevertheless, declared the attack by the
Prussians successful. One of the Saxon
colonies said in the hearing of your cor
respondent: OTIS the purest humbug."
1t is said that the new recoil guns were
tested for the first time today with
splendid results.

Lnnan Anxious Cor War.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 10.-A dispatch
from Port Arthur states that the japanese
press continues its propaganda of war
against Russia. One journal has gone
so far as to calculate the expenses OF
such war and comes to the conclusion
that Japan would be able now to bear
an eight months war. 1t is asserted
that the japanese military authorities
are bribing the correspondents to send
sensational items to the japanese papers
to infame the war fever. The Russian
press comment indicates that should war
occur it would be far bigger thing than
an eight months affair.

MORE SENSATIONS TO BE SPRUNG
Postolice authorities persist in their re-
fusal to make public the names of the
six men against whom the grand jury Of
Washington on Tuesday found seven in
dictments. While rumor seems to
fasten indictments on seven persons
whose names have already become pub
lie property, the mystery surrounding
the individuals grows deeper every hour.
il was said at the Postoffice Department
Tuesday that the men would be arrested
early yesterday morning, and that they
had been notified of their coming arrest,
in order that they might be ready with
their bondsmen when arrested. But
until the hour Of closing the courts yes
terday afternoon no arrest had been
made, and it is therefore likely that no
legal steps will yet be taken.
There are said to be 10 other cases
still before the grand jury, and action
on most, if not all, of them is expected
any day. 1t is said that the seven in
dic.menis already found involve the sum
Of S275, 00O. The mystery in regard to
the identity of the six persons who have
been indicted by the grand jury natural
~ gives rumor the widest range. 1t is
said that one OF the six is man of great
national prominence, while three others
are not connected with the Postoffice
Department at all at present, but have
been postal officials in the past. There
is a mysterious rlmor that before many
days the grand jury will spring sensa-
ton by indicting person not now in
official life, but at one time as prominent
as Pos. master Payne himself. The grand
jury, it is said, began hearing testimony
in this case yesterday, and will reserve
it as the sensational finale of its work.

tinuously until 1880, when the readjust
ers. coming into power, turned him out,
and elected his cousin, Judge Edmund
Waddill. When the latter became dis
trict attorney, in 1884, Judge Minor
was again chosen, and served until
1894. when upon the establishment of

its Judge, and served up to the time of
