SMELLS TO HIGH HEAVEN.

Those in the best position to Judge
believe that the frauds HOW being
uncovered in the postal department
at Washington and throughout the
country, will rival in extent the
great star route frauds OF the early
seventies. The disclosures so far
points to regular organization OF
graiters among the officers in charge
of the different departments, and
that they worked along recognized
lines to secure a rake.off on all con-
tracts, the established basis being
40 per cent. When cashier Tulloch,
OF the Washington office, first made
the charges of corruption, they were
made light OF by Postmaster-General
Payne, who designated them as "hot
air." When forced to order an inves'
tigation by public opinion and after
five officials had been indicted, ne
tried to hide behind the skirts of ex-
President Mckinley, but even his
own party journals would not stand
for that, and now there is talk that
General Paynes health has suddenly
failed and he may be compelled to
retire from the cabinet. We are OF
the opinion that the postmaster gen.
eral health is very bad and is con.
stantly growing worse and the
sooner be retires the better it will be
for the Roosevelt administration and
the republican party. We are also
OF the opinion that his illness has
come too late to prevent a searching
investigation, which congress will
have to order, forced by public
opinion and the rottenness will smell
to high heaven when the lid is re-
moved.

trous wreck occurred on the Mis-.

last night at Coles Junction, where
the river route branches of OF the
main line.
An eastbound stock train crashed
in an extra freight westbound. The
engine OF the eastbound train, with
twelve cars, left the track and rolled
down the embankment.
Four men lost their lives. An over.
turned tank of muriatic acid added
to the horror. Two cars containing
cattle, horses and mules were com.
pletely demolished, killing nearly all
the animals.
The wreck was caused by misun-
Outstanding OF orders.
The bodies were almost hidden from
view in vapor arising from the muri-
attic acid, with which they were del
uged. This acid is one of the most
powerful known. 1t is OF such
strength that unless copiously dilut-
ed with water the smallest quantity
-ofit will eat anything with which it
comes in contact A few drops on a
piece of cloth will eat as far az the
moisture spreads, and on the h"sh
will burn like nitric acid. Tho prob
able effect of it on the body can be
better imagined than described.

PARKER.D'ARN0ND
TICKET SUGGESTED.
Congressman Clayton Believes This
Combination. on Democratic Plat.
form, Should Win.

Washington, June 21.-"My own
opinion is that with such a candidate
as Judge Parker for President ard
Congressman DeArmond for Vice.
Pre- sident, and with "a platform deal.
ing with live issues, the Democratic
party can carry the country next
year," said Representative Clayton,
of Ala ALBANIA, this evening:
"This declaration il not based on
party prejudice or personal desire
1t has long been apparent TO think
ing men that a change in our Gov
eminent is impending and that a
large majority Of our voters believe
it desirable.
1T seems to me that the Republi-
cans have been weighed in the bal
snce and found wanting. 1t would
take columns for even a catalogue OF
their shortcomings. but they have
glaringly disappointed the country
in one or two important matters
that will specify.
I'm the first place, Though they
made earnest promises of giving cur
rency reform, they have done little
or nothing in that direction. Moth
ing was done to provide against
financial stringency or monetary
panic. The authorization OF small
banks wasgood as far as it went, but
is only single step.
again, the very high and even
prohibitory tariffs OF the Dingley bill
were upheld because it was said they
would be the lever by which reciproc-
ity treaties could be secured. The
American people should have by this
time grown weary OF this humbug.
They have, as consumers, been pay
ing high taxes on numerous articles;
the prohibitory schedules are still in
force and reciprocity is still an rides,
cent dream.
"More than this, with the ultra
protective tariff established by the
dominant party has come an era OF
monied combinations and grinding
trusts, whose expressions are known
throughout the nation.
'"Here are issues on with the Demo-
cratic party can make a strong, and,
l believe, winning fight. In these
mattersit is now. as it has ever been,
the champion Of the people. 1t may
be also that q return of the Demo.
Gratis to power may be thought wise
in the light Of the recent scandals
and corruption unearthed at Wash
ington.
1.-THE personal integrity Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt I cheeriully concede
He is an honest man, and no blame
attaches to him. But the rascality
that has been uncovered is Of sucr
superlative rankness that q change
Of administration cannot help but
purify things, and this change is
more than apt to be decreed."

PROFESSIONALLY it is true that the
party in power is responsible for the
public acts of its officials, and such
party should be held to the strict &C
counting. II the officials are honest
and competent, then the party res
ponsible Tor their election is entitled
to the commentator Of the pnblic.
II the officials are dishonest and in
competent, the party in power must
serve the public by being the first to
discover and punish dishonesty or
displace incompetants, and it is still
entitled to the public confidence. 1t
is that party which winks at corrup.
ton and covers up official shortcom-
ings to avoid party scandals which
deserve public condemnation.
