cept official comment, SO far as pertains to
myself. that is news to the public. hope
my enemies. as well as my friends, will do
me the justice of reading 1t carefully. The
newspapers have been kept informed and
have been publishing 1t all during the last
year. That which has hitherto been gen.
orally regarded as newspaper criticism, it is
now revealed, was official criticism in dis
guise.
TT is no surprise to me to see the denun-
citation OF me in this report. The author of
It, from the time he entered the Post Of
nee Department up to the present moment,
has, In his official capacity, pursued me
personally, In season and out, as every one
who has been in public life in Washington
is artfully contrived and malice i'll con-
cealed throughout the entire document, as
everybody familiar with the facts may see.
Its very opening paragraph attacks my
friend. M. w. Louis. an honest gentleman
as the report, itself is compelled to admit
him to be, and it closes with impertinent
and intrusive animadversions upon my ad-
ministration.
THE author seems to have etudiously
avoided mentioning the important fact that
many, If not large majority. OF these Of
lenses occurred after had left the service.
Nor Is the slightest reference made to an
other important fact-that I had heaped
upon me ten times as much administra-
TIVE and executive work, by reason of the
SpaIish-American war as l should have
undertaken, or the fact that during that
tlHlc iHOSt VI tuc OluS VI lHS
military postal duties fell upon me, to-
gether with the distribution of much of the
patronage of the service, in the way Of APP
pointments, and that We had to establish
presidents, rs we had military laws;
and, lastly, the fact that II any one con-
jured with my name for corrupt purposes
l could not know it except somebody told
me. NO intimation of the kind ever reached
me till lately through the press.
Men like Louis, whose supplies were
purchased through a committee of three,
appointed by the Postmaster General, by
public advertisement and the direction Of
the Postmaster General, he being merely
the distribution clerk, are censured and
made to suffer for responsibilities they
never had. When Louis entered the serv-
ice he found his division in a demoralized
condition.
"A committee condemned the ink in use
and recommended the ink purchased. The
tremendous increase in the regular postal
service required the filling of thousands Of
new orders in new offices as well as old
ones and the military postal service neces-
STATED the supplying of thousands OF Of
fees in newly acquired territory.
Because I cannot be truthfully accused
Of ever having received any reward, IN
cash, bonds. stocks, presents or other form,
while was in the department or since l
left 1t, my acts while in the government
employ appear to be especially disappoint-
ing to the author OF this report. But, since
much OF the report Is occupied with the
cases of men who have been tried and ac-
quilted. am willing to trust the public to
draw its own conclusions"

The Young Parson.
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston transcript
Much of sanity Is too often sacrificed in
the pulpit and in families to the temporary
interests of the young, who consider
parson worn out merely because he is kind,
patient and conservative Ministers usually
do get worn out, like any one else who is
not wanted and who has no income and
there is no doubt that many of them are
just as tiresome as are other people: but

one grows old, but II is a greater pity for

for while. and then another change is de-

the reason why the pulpit is no longer as
powerful as in olden days is because of its
pienitude of youth, which acts as deter
rent or as sedative upon the middle-aced
who would gladly receive instruction an,
propriate to their years. People are willing
TO put up with great deal for the sake of
their children, yet the query remains:
Would not middle life or even later age

children? 1t is amusing that one beneyo-

administration alike must rest upon the
broad basis of sound public opinion.
A DUH public conscience, an easy-soing
acquiescence in corruption, infallibiy means
debasement in public life, and such debase-

Freedom is not a gift which will tarry long
In the hands of the dishonest or of those

our system all power comes from the peo-

with the people. The federation OF the
wrong, not the exposure of the wrong, Is
the real offense.

II Is curious to note that many things
which have turned out most useful
discoveries for man, having great In

OF mankind. owe their beginning TO
some slight accident. 1t is said that

lection from enemies. The fact to which T al
lude Is that everywhere In the gullies and over

the earth Of which 1t Is composed, are Quanti-
ties Of broken vessels of clay flint chips, arrow
heads. charcoal bones Of animals, ETC., appar-
emily the refuse OF a numerous people; Of
course 1t Is possible that these remains so ur-
like the homogeneous structure OF an ordinary
mound, may be the simple refuse Of numerous
feasts that may have taken place on the mound
at various times during its construction. The
hrst interpretation however, Is as well borne
out as any other from our present knowledge
of this mound; the structure and object of which
cannot be fully understood untff a thorough ex-
animation has been made" Prof. Putnam's
theory 1t will be noticed does not preclude the
possibility suggested by Mr.. Bushnell
In more exact figures than those of the earlier
visitors the great mound of Cahokia measures
no feet from east to west and L 900 feet from
north to south. Like the smaller mounds OF the
group many Of which are parallelograms in
construction, and would be considered large
mounds were they not overshadowed by the
giant Cahokia, it is laid out IN AN exact north
and south line. thus proving that the builders
had a working knowledge of the cardinal points
of the compass. Its height is about 100 feet ana

quarters acres. To include Cahokia and some
of the near mounds would require park ofysomA

Part Of this land has never been cultivated but
the larger part has been turned to agricultural
purposes during the last century and many of
the mounds have from time to time been hidden
