Saturday. and Mr.. Francis. think

wired Governor Nardaman of the

The Governor wired back a re-
ply containing the following:
1T il. Of course, gratifying 10
the people OF Mississippi to know
that they have done one thing that

The Pastor gave encouraging
reports Of his work. He said that
he started out to raise about four
teen hundred dollars Chat amount
being necessary to the full pay
ment Of the obligations that stand
against the church, that he could
not and would not go to confer
ence without it. That if he failed
to get it he would get the presid-
ing elder to state To the conference
that he was ashamed 10 come.
This is an old debt, drawing in
terest. and as the people have be-
gun to believe that it will be paid.
they are responding literally. The
pastor viii make his final report to
the church on next Sunday morn
ing. Those who have not seen

St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1904-05-21

WA ~. No''.e LAC of $2,5OO,OOO to
build out the CAPT.
toll along the contemplated plans and
that it will take several years to COM
plete the restoration.
The scheme is to carry out on the
east front of the capitol an addition
which will increase the accommoda-
lions by nearly one-third, but which,
In spite of its ambitious character, will
hardly affect the general appearance Of
the structure so that the average OBJ
server would notice the difference. The
addition will cover a large part of the
plaza where crowds have gathered ev-
cry four years, time out of mind, to
see the newly elected president make
his inaugural address. The marble
facing will cover at last from view the
unsightly stucco work of the older part
OF the building and win bring the en-
tire front Of the great structure into
perfect harmony and maze it in real
1ty what it has long pretended to be,
the most beautiful and impressive pub
lie building in the world.
In the course of the Improvement the
rotunda, now dingy and cheap in its
decorations, will be lined with rare
marbles, which will bring that also in
to harmony with the dignity of the
purpose of the capitol.

dence In the house and through ths
country on account of the high stand
ing of the man who is at the head of it
Representative Mccall has a reputa-
ton all his own in the house, earned
by years of faithful service and by in
dependent exercise of an honest judg-
ment. Mr. Mccall is one of the men
who, though an undoubted partisan,
has never been suspected of slavish
subserviency to the party machine.
From the day he entered congress he
mas never hesitated to vote against re-
publican measures which did not meet
his full approval and while at times he
has been bitterly attacked for his lack
Of regularity he has retained always
the profound respect of his associates
in the house and, what is perhaps more
to the purpose, the firm support Of q
strong republican district.
Speaker Reed in his later years war
close friend and great admirer Of the
Massachusetts congressman. When Mr..
Mccall, alone of all his party asso-
cfates, voted against the resolution
precipitating the war with Spain, Reed,
who as speaker had to sit silent and
see the resolution go through, drew
him aside into the speakers room at
the close Of the session and, closing the
door behind him, exclaimed with
shadow of regret in his voice: Mccall,
how I envy you the luxury of that
vote!"
1t can be imagined that consistent
following out of such apology has not
tended to make the Massachusetts rep
resentatfve especially popular In bis
own party however much he may be
but the general willingness
on both sides of the house to accept
his conclusion in the pending investi-
cation shows that even an Independent
of congress may have his uses

Wynne there would have been no post
al investigation and if it had not been
for his stubborn persistence after the
investigation began 1t would not have
gone so far as it did and would have
not uncovered the full extent of the
rascality of Beavers, Machen and their
associates.
1t was Wynne's representations to
the president that first drew the presi-
dents attention to the condition of af-
fairs in the department, and it was
Wynne's revelations to the postmaster
general which first brought him to
realization of what was going on
among his subordinates.
Mr.. Bristaw happened to be the
fourth assistant postmaster general in
charge of the force Of post Office in
spectors, to whom as matter of adj
ministrative detail the work Of inves-
tigation had to be assigned. But Bris-
tow was put in charge of detective
work at Wynne's request and the scope
of Bristow's investigation was extend
ed beyond a mere perfunctory exami-
nation into specific charges by Wynne's
shrewdness and courageous persistence.
It was against Wynne that the at
tacks of the combined forces Of the
grafters were first directed and Wynne
is still the special object Of their re-
sentiment and vindictiveness; yet curl
ously enough one result of the inves-
tigation has been to lessen the prestige
of the Office Of first assistant postmas-
ter general and to diminish the respon-
sibility Of the man who is responsible
for putting the department on firm
business footing for the first time in 80
years. The post Office committee of the
senate has awakened to what was go
ing on and has amended the post
Office appropriation bill SO as to restore
to the first assistant postmaster general
some of the duties of which he had
been deprived.
