WHY A RURAL ROUTE FAILED
Farmers Signed Petitions Both For
and Against Il.

In the excitement concerning the pos
tai investigation there q one representa-
tive in the Virginia delegation who re-
fuses TO be purturbed. That Represen-
tatiyeis Mr. Rixey, Of the Elk nth district.
He says that the country has sufficient
postal facilities, that two mails day
are enough for any one, and that as Tor
himself be would be satisfied with one.
Tie tells story illustrating the way peo-
ole look upon rural free delivery. There
was a petition circulated Tor rural Tree
delivery route in one section OF his die
trict. Every one signed IL and Mr. RiEey
was asked TO endorse the petition and
iorwar it to the department with his
recommendation Later it was found
that 1t would iDiure the business OF a
third class postoiice whose postmaster
was popular with the people Then a
counter petition was filed and almost
every man who signed the first petition
signed the counter petition and theroute
was not established One citizen, a
prominent business man who lived two
miles from the pOstOfIice, uigued the fret
petition and afterwards the second, be-
cause, he said, he would rather ride two
miles TO the DOstOtiie every day than to
injure the business Of his official friend.

A Northern Republican Suggests Fed
crai Assumption Of the Re-
construction Bonds.

To the Editor of The Sun-Sir:
am u Northern man who has spent
many years in the South, a Republi-
can, and a voter in Pennsylvania
The United States Supreme Courts
decision in the South Dakota bond
| case awakened the interest OF holders
of reconstruction bonds all over the
North. | have been approached by
friends seeking a means to collect
these bonds from the States of issue
The Northern holders of these repu-
dated securities have little thought or
knowledge of the hopeless helpless
condition in which the bonds We're
conceived. With hope deferred
maketh the heart sick feeling, they
wish to collect, little knowing that
they own only a stolen horse. The
| Southern debtor feels that although he
has repudiated and adjudicated these
bonds 10 the unforgettable past, they
are still there-a debt in some vague
way standing against his conscience
ana honor. He feels as II ne mad gone
through bankruptcy, settled for 10
cents on the dollar, and now in his
returning prosperity, this moral spec
ire, the other 80 cents returns TO haunt
his dreams. This is not all; If it was,
| venture to assert that the Southerner
would ask no better pleasure than the
opportunity to pay these securities in
full. Stop and think! Why was he
bankrupt? Because in an evil day he
was overpowered by brother and
forced to place the signature of his
State upon these bonds against his
will.
Is not the case about this way? The
horse is stolen and sold to an innocent
purchaser. the stable locked, with no
reward for recovery nailed to the
door. The thieves are either in the
limbo of eternity or living IN company
with bad conscience by the grace Of
the statute of limitations
Can it be righted? Compromise is

unthinkable Lord Chief Justice Rus
sell said that there were many things
which could not be arbitrated or COM
promised, among them honor, TO the
Southcrner this is q matter OF honor,
and this country holds no citizen who
guards ms honof more Sdcfediy lhdh
he.
This decision of the Supreme Court
is certainly indicative of grave possi-
bilitieS. The present owner wishes TO
be rewarded for returning the stolen
horse to its rightful owner. This for
mer owner objects to paying any re-
ward for a useless animal
can see but one just and right way
out of the difficulty. 1t is a way that
should produce most beneficial results.
rhese bonds were issued by legislators
who were elected when the States were
under the control of the United States
Army. The direction OF the civil cleo
tons was entirely in the hands of
lot of unprincipled Northern and
Southern renegade "carpet-bagSers
whose very lives were preserved by the
ever present army of the United
states The legislators who issued
these bonds were tools and co-Workers
with the "carpet-bagging" vultures.
Both pocketed the proceeds of the sale
of the bonds. There were no proper
ties created as securities for these
DOnQS, nor Qiu the SLblCo iC1CiNN 'tii5
moneys from their sale. This bein9
the case. does not the moral response
bility for their creation ana sale ran
upon the United states government:
Could the Republican party do more
gracious or saner act than to enact
the necessary legislation to wipe out
these debts by the United States?
No Southerner, l believe, feels any
enmity against the Republican party
for the part it took in the civil war,
while the Republican party must
keenly feel the awful disgrace of Re
construction times. ] believe that the
party at that time intended no wrong,
yet under it's rule these grieVous
wrongs were committed. Is this not
an opportunity to right, in a small
measure, a past mistake? 1t certainly
will be extending the hand of fellow
ship justice and love. Would not such
an act be a large factor in reuniting
under one political faith the strong
conservative people of this country an
ideal which every true American
should work and pray for? S.
