Contemporary Comment
One of Grover cIeveland's Lessons.

Why do the mobs respect the mail
cars and the men in the service OF the
United States? Because they know
they cann6t molest United States
property or assaiI men in the
service Of the United States with i'm
punity. ThSy know that something will
certainly hapHen to them and that no
fiimsy exclfses will avail if they at
tempt to set up their law of the mob
against the law of the nation. Who
taught the Chicago mobs this lesson?
Grover Cleveland president who
knew his duty, who never sought
pretext for failing to discharge it, and
who simply discharged it, promptly
and unswervingly, utterly regardless OF
all specious pleas, all opprobrious cpl
thets and all threats of political de-
struction.-Chicago Chronicle.

THE coNvENANcEs AT RED DOG,

The postmiStress at Red Dog, Tex,
Dog the other day, and the sheriff has
petitioned the postoffice department to
restrain the impetuosity. of the lady in
the case. Here is portion of most
illumining epistle addressed by the
sheriff at Red Dog to the postal au-
thorities: v1l.sssaanr,
1--WE don't set Up any claim that our
manners are all they should be, but
we'd like to be reasoned with and
helped along. The postmistress here
is worthy woman, all right, and there
amt thing against her character,
but she certainly is rude and hasty.
One day last week the mayor, being
somewhat flushed up and careless. re-
fused to remove his hat and bow on
asking for the official mail, whereupon
his hat was shot off and plumb ruined,
and he left the postoffice so swiftly and
undignified that it told against the
standing of the town.
There's another thing we don't
think is fair. This postmistress won't
let niggers and greaSerS come into the
Office under any consideration. We
amt over fond Of greasers and niggers
ourselves, but it Is sure discommoding
for the leading citizens to have to go
to the postoff1ce personally to get their
mail, just because this lady don't like
to see anything but gentleman. We
don't like to appear fault-fnding and
picayunish where a lady is concerned,
but this one I'm talking about is sure
arbitrary and abrupt, and we'd like to
have her toned down some"
W. hot cicfo T,f
postmaster general will not act too
precipitately in the matter. The case
ton. The postmistress may be right.
She may have come to an understand
federal official, appointed because Of
her fitness for the place. We may pre-
sumo that she ekes out her stipend as
postmistress by selling comestibles and
sweaters to the people of Red Dog.
When she inherited the office and the
store she probably fell heir to the Red
Dog junta and finds herself at some
pains to demonstrate her dislike of po-
litical discussions when conducted on
the Texas plan and directed to the
management Of the affairs of the ma
ton by a Republican administration
The mayor of Red Dog, as a repre-
sentative citizen, probably holds views
that do not comport with the ideas
held by an administration appointee
The postmistress is Convinced that Sc
dition turks about when the mayor and
| his fellows discuss national politics and
eat dried apples out of the postoffice
barrel. That the mayor should have
holes shot in his hat was to be ex-
pected and will probably be justified
and let us hope that it will not be nee
essary to show that the mayor was
guilty of anything more than breach
of courtesy and that the postmistress
acted under the inspiration of her
times and section in shooting his hon.
| or's hat off. She might have lowered
the weapon bit and reduced the DEM
ocratic majority in Texas by one vote.
The postmistress of Red Dog may be
but the pioneer in movement that
will deliver the country postoffice from
the domination of the villager who
mends national policies when he ought
Ito be fixing his mule harness.

Last Ae+ in the Farce.

This last act in the Panama comedy
is Of piece with all the rest. Indecent
haste characterized the negotiations OF
the treaty as it did every. other trans
action connected with the miserable
affair. Time was not even taken to
await proper credentials from Panama
for M. Bunau- Vari1la, and unless he
had them in his pocket when he went
on his mission to the United States
(two weeks before the isthmian repub-
lie was proclaimed) his only authority
to act is contained in a cable dispatch.
OF course, one should not expect the
solemnities usually attending the sig
nature of a treaty to be observed in
farce.-Philadelphia Record.

THE MORE STEALING THE BET
TER

1t is an odd situation when one finds
himself constrained to hope that the
political rulers of any community may
carry their dishonest tendencies to the
extreme limit; but that is the way that
every man desirous of banishing ras-
cality and improving municipal gov
ernment must feel about the conditions
in Philadelphia. A loan bill for $25,-
100000 is now about being railroaded
through the city council 1t is claimed
that there is a steal of at least $5,000,-
900 concealed in it, and many persons
think that this sum will be doubled or
tripled The mayor is expected to veto
the bill. 1t is also expected that the
city council will promptly pass it over
the veto.
There is nothing at all new or
startling in the situation. 1t is simply
a repetition of the experience to which
the people of Philadelphia should be
entirely accustomed by this time. 1t is
but a little while since the legislature
passed bill to aid municipal public
service corporations in their schemes
to plunder and defraud the public. The
legislative bodies of the city of Phila-
delphia passed an ordinance framed
under this bill without hesitation in
the face of the most indignant protest.
Mr.. Wanamaker at the time offered an
immense sum of moneys, 100000 or
more, if we recollect correctly-for
the same privilege that was given to
the favored traction companies with
out one cent of compensation. The
council ridiculed his proposition and
bestowed the desired privileges upon
its favorites for nothing, except what
may have gone into the pockets of it's
own members.
These things have not been done in
corner. They are a common and ia
miliar part Of the history not only of
the city of Philadelphia, but of the
state of Pennsylvania for the past
twenty-five or thirty years. Nowhere
else have the conditions of misrule be-
come so marked, shameless and intol-
cradle. Nowhere else could we find a
great commonwealth populated by men
certainly above the average in their
habits of industry and thrift. and sup
posedly in their moral ideas, indorsing
year after year the rule of the boodler
and the CRATER Nowhere else in the
United States, not even in Montana is
there an avowal so open and shameless
that politics is synonymous with plum
der. Nowhere else in the world is
there a contented acquiescence with
this rule on the part of community
otherwise honest, decent and law
abiding
The patriotic American must shud-
der for the future of his country when
he considers the present state of polit-
ical morals in Pennsylvania. 1t is the
apparently impossible which has hap
pened there. If public and private
honor can be thus thrown to the winds.
not merely in one of the great cities of
the country but in one of its largest,
Oldest and proudest states; if public life
can become identical with robbery, and
plain, everyday thieves maintain
themselves by the votes of the people
in public place both high and low, what
may not happen at some future time in
the republic at large?
For the sake of Pennsylvania and Of
American institutions, we hone that
the robbers may not stay their hand
We wish that they might become so

LET THE INDIAN
WORK OR STARVE
This Alternative Is Recommended by
Commissioner Jones.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. o.
The annual report of Commissioner Of
Indian Affairs Jones advocates the ed
ucation of the Indian in the rudiments
of the English language, and that he
be taught that he must work or starve.
The commissioner thinks this policy in
a generation or more will regenerate
the race and that the Indian should be
protected only to the extent that he
may gain confidence in himself, leaving
nature and civilized conditions to do
the rest.
