which heralded the completion OF

the moment, Field was BY far the
most distinguished parsonage in the
world. President Buchanan of his

England and Napoleon I'll, of
France, were potentates of minor
importance compared with the man
who had suddely bridged the At

principle which was to transform
the antipodes into near neighbors.
The world has Travelled fast and

General Madden to MT. Payne, in which Madden demanded an investigation.
 Mir. Sibley is credited with having in- duced the Appropriations Committee to insert an amendment in the Sundry Civil bill approved June 2S. 1902. authorizing the Public Printer to purchase the books manufactured by the General Manifolding Company. MT Sibley was at the time member of the Committee on Postoflces and Post Roads.
 MT. Cannon was in charge of the bill on the floor. The aendment, as adopted, reads:
 The Public Printer is authorized here after to procure and supply. on the re- quisition of the head of any executive de- partment or other Government establish ment complete manifold blanks, books and forms. required in duplicating pro- cesses; also complete patented devices with which to file money-order state ments or other uniform official papers, and charge such supplies to the allotment for printing and binding of the depart ment or Government establishment re- quiring the same

with Alabama coal Is the product of Pennsylvania mines, 1000 miles away. This 1t meets at New Orleans, but a glance at the map will show that the natural water outlet of Alabama is the Warrior river, and this fact has been fully recognized by the United States govern ment, which. for years has been slowly building substantial locks and dams in the Warrior river. When this is com pleted it may be confidently expected that Pennsylvania and Ohio will not be pos sible competitors.
 And, pointing out the rapid increase in the consumption of coal by the develop ment of the iron industry of the State and the general advancement of the industrial interests of the entire Central South, he refers to the great increase which will follow the beginning of the work on the isthmian canal. and says: Prom its in- ception the istbmian canal will require coal. From the nature of 1t, the work will be mainly done by machinery. To drive this machinery will require enor- nous quantities of coal. Further. large quantities will be required to propel the shipping to deliver the tremendous amount of machinery and supplies which will be called for in a project of this mag nitude This increase in demand for coal will again be trivial compared to that which will inevitably arise on the com pletion of the canal. which, with the un- limited capacity of the United States available for the work. should be no dis tant date Then half of the steam ship ping of the world will call for coal at the isthmus, for. as the storage of coal Is the heaviest tax on the space of freight carrying vessels, they will endeavor to arrive at the canal with empty bunkers. to be replenished there. Moreover. the canal will open up to us the entire Vest ern coasts of North and South Amerca. as well as the Orient Tn this way will arise a demand for coal such as exists no where else in the world"

To all such my advice is procure Deans Kidney Pills and take a course of the treatment.

 MT Payne proposes to wait until tho newspaper article which melted Mir. Mad. den's wrath can be examined md ascer- tain whether 1t furnished sufficient justi- fication for the explosion. He will then determine what course to pursue, It Is not believed Mir. Payne will Irge the re- moval of Mir. Madden.
 The strong intimation made Gy MT. Madden that Messrs. Wynne and Bristow are working against him and furnished the information Son which the 'bjection- able article was based gave ext for unlimited gossip throughout the cay.
 It was definite declaration, for the first time officially made, that fla ton exists among the Assistant Postmasters- General to Postmaster General raNne. It went so far as broadly to suggest that two of them were setting .raps for the other.

appropriation bill in which he has a finan- cial interest without laying himself liable l to prosecution.
 It has heretofore been announced that ex- Representative Driggs, of New York, will be prosecuted because he accepted fee of SIP, 800 a year as counsel for the Brandt Automatic Cashier Company. Some of the officials do not see how the prosecution of MT. Sibley can be avoided unless it be decided to ignore his connec- tion with the General Manifolding Com pany.
 Sibley Good Entertainer. MT Sibiey last winter began an active campaign for the chairmanship of the House Postoffice Committee. He spent money lavishly in obtaining the goodwill of the subordinates then in control of
 the Department. He gave elaborate din-
 ners to George w. Beavers and others. He is understood to have a good chance of attaining his ambition. The amount paid yearly to the General Manifolding Company aggregates about $60,000. The price of the books furnished runs all the way from cents apiece to a fraction more than 99 cents. For 99 cents book is supplied containing 1000 duplicate sheets.
 As the books are patented there is no competition and they are bought without contract, under the authorization given In the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill ap- proved June 2s. 1902. All the courts have held that such an authorization is man. datory and not optional.
 The Public Printer made repeated ef- forts to purchase the carbon sheets from
 the General Manifolding Company and
 have them bound at the Government
 Printing Office. This proposal was re-
 fused for the reason that it was claimed
 the printing would become smeared In
 binding and the work prove unsatisfac-
 tory. to the detriment of the company.
 The Bookbinders' Union took the mat
 ter up, saying their craft was losing this work and could not afford to do so. This
 fight of the union has since continued A delegation of the union called on First Assistant Postmaster General Wynne, and renewed charges preferred against the General Manifolding Company. It is charged that the firm employs nonu union and child labor.
 Suspicion Aroused.
 Until today there has been no allega- tion of irregularity in connection with purchases of supplies from the General Manifolding Company.
 MT. Madden's fiery letter aroused the first suspicion, and a general search for information resulted. MT. Madden is on record more than two years ago as highly commenting the material furnished by the company. The vehemence with which he denies any possibility of irregullrity creates the suspicion that possibly there may be something wrong
 Mir. Maddens letter created pronounce ed sensation in the Postoff1ce Department, MT. Payne was amazed to find that one of his subordinates should write bim a letter of such a character and then give it to the press before 1t had an oppor- tunity of reaching him. He has rot de- cided what action will be taken. He is

salary of a legislator should be at least 5000 a year,
he states.
III the Mayor were in fact made the general man
ager and the one legislative body the board of di-
rectors OF the municipality, good government would
De more OF a rule than an exception and public i'm
provements would become real investments instead
of fancy and useless extravagances. And the voters,
knowing that the Mayor and legislature would have
large power with fewer restrictions than formerly,
would be more disposed to compel the nomination of
men Of ability who could be trusted absolutely. They
would realize that the honest and judicious manage
ment OF municipal business would follow the election
OF a good Mayor and good legislators. and they would
work to elect men Of the character desired and re-
CURED. A salary of $1,000 a year for Z legislator
would be 4 fair compensation. But $1,000 is too
small an annual salary for the right kind of Mayor.
The franchise question is important, but it can be
solved. MI. Christie is right in maintaining that the
life Of a franchise should not exceed twenty-five
years; yet he does not draw the line quite far enough.
The legislature should still have the power to grant
special rights. but certain conditions protective to
the city should be made essential to every ordinance.
The city should retain right to ACQUIRE the property,
whatever it might be. by fair methods; it should hold
supervision over the property; it should possess the
authority to settle disputes which involve public in
terests.
Mr.. Christie's ideas on municipal government are
practical and simple. The Mayor and the legislative
body should. as he says. be the general manager and
board of directors of the municipal corporations; and
they should receive satisfactory remuneration for
their services. st. Louis would nearly always be well
managed If its affairs could be directed as are those
of large and successful private corporations. Correct
business principles are the best when practical pro-
cedure is concerned.
