OBITUARY.

MITCHELr.-Born, in Ste. Genevieye
county, Missouri, October %, 1885;
died ut ST. Louis, February :, 1904.
Thus is marked the earthly period of
the life of Sarah Elizabeth Mitchell.
Her sweet Christian character had Ell
deared her to all who knew her. Dur
ing her last lingering illness she had
the constant, loving aud seli-sacrfcing
care of her two sisters, but il was the
Lords will to call her nome to rest.
She had for number of years been
trusting in Chris, as her Saviour, and
shortly before her death she, with her
two sisters, united with the Russell
Avenue Mission. We do not mourn Ms
those who have no hope, but il is a
Joy to look forward to the resurrection
and home-gathering.
BEYOND the smiling and the weeping,
Beyond the waking and the sleeping
We shall be soon."
Love! Rest! Home!

WASHINGTON LETTER.


Washington, ID. C., March l..
Many Democrats, as well as Re
publicans i'll Congress, are ripping
mad at the President Of the United
States because he has done some.
thing that they consider rcprehen-
Sihle, aud this is the story in brief:
Several months ago the President
sent two agents or commissioners
to the Indian Territory to investi
gate the stories of corruption and
rOttenness down there among the
Federal officials. They went. made
the investigation and reported to
the President through the Secretary
of the Interior. Their report has
been in the hands of the President
for more than month, and some
three weeks ago the House, by resO-
luton, asked the President for the
report. At that time the Indian
appropriation bill was under con
sideration, and the House wanted
some information on the report
that there was rottenness in the
Territory. They got none and the
bill was passed by the House and
then passed by the Senate and has
been signed by tho President. Now,
after the thing has become the law,
the President sends in the report
of his agents who investigated the
stories of corruption, and the report
corroborates every charge that has
been made concerning the Dawes
Commission and the men who rep
resent the government in the In
dian Territory. If that report had
been before the HOuee before the
Indian appropriation bill had been
passed the appropriation continu-
ing the Dawes Commission in ex-
istence would have been knocked
galley west. The President, by
hnldinU that renort has pontinuad
the very men in Office who, his own
agents say, are corrupt and venal
and should be driven from the pub
lie service. The people may draw
their own conclusions.

There was a small sized sensation
in the House last Monday morning
when the committee to investigate
the report of Assistant Postmaster
Bristow made its report. 1t was
rumored that not less than $50 of
the House members were implicat-
ed i'll the report as having violated
the law and there was considerable
doing about until the printed
report was brought into the House.
1t was eagerly seized and scanned
with much fear and trembling by
the members until they were salts
fed that they were not in the list of
alleged evil doers. Those implicat.
ed were charged either with renting
buildings owned by them to the
government for postofiices, or else
that they had been instrumental in
getting the allowances of the post,
offices in their districts increased,
the inference being that they had
done so with some ulterior motive
and not for the good of the service.
This whole thing is case of great
cry and little wool. The members
who have been thus publicly
charged by Mr.. Bristow with vio-
lating the law have only done so
technically and for no graft or loot.
They have simply written to the
Postoflice Department authorities.

A DEAD ISSUE


From The tOmmuncr
Those who insist that the peo.

fled by the increase Of business in
the Office asking for it and perhaps
not one per cent. of the so.called
offenses have been committed with

the matter is that the report was
started by the Republican postal
authorities to hide the real culprits
in this disgraceful lust of loot and
distract the attention of the people
of the country from the head devils

ty. They are trying to do the cut

try to rob the entire public, but is
satisfied to rob his own unprotected
sister of her inheritance from her
father, and no man eau conceive
of u crime less likely of detection
or less likely to bring trouble tO
the perpetrator thereof than rob
bing ones own sister. Another
thing that has enraged the trusts
against Mr.. Hearst and made him
friends here amongst men who
hate the trust rule in this country
is his recent showing up in his
New York Evening journal of the
manner of the rich men of New
York who gamble, lose money and
then make the poor laborer pay il
back by reducing his wages. He
proved that young Reginald Van
derbilt, n drunken young scion OF
u once respectable family, whose
money was made from the sweat
of mems brOws before he was born
went into one OF the big gambling
houses of the city of New York ant
lost $500,00 in three nights and
that the very next day the wages
of the men working on the New
York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad, owned and controlled by
the Vanderbilts, were chopped
down although the road admitted
that its profits were increasing.
Exposes OF that kind cause the
violent hatred of Mr. Hearst held
by the trust and should rebound te
his credit with the peple Of the
country.

Democratic national politics is
again holding the boards here in
the political nerve center of the ma
tiun. The so-called leaders of the
party in Washington are beginning
to line up for some one candidate.
In other words, they ARE beginning
to see daylight aud to know that
they must take sides and they are
getting busy. Many Of them who
have hitherto been opposed tO the
Hon. William Randolph Hearst are
beginning to veer around and to
hedge somewhat. The fact that he
is the only candidate so far who
has had any delegates instructed
for him leads to the conclusion that
his friends aud supporters all over
the country mean business and ii
ilUS llllhNl u SFNli llllO lIt hi MI
men the size of an Iowa barn.
Another thing that has helped the
Hearst huum III the last week is
the ScurrillOus, vlclous, iilthy per
SonnI attack upon MIR, Hearst by
the New York Evening Post, the
recognized organ of Wall Street ana
the trusts, aud an cmasculatcd
newspaper that panderS to the
prurirnt apprtites of the satiated
six hundred And yet it has the
audacity and the tcmerity and the
idiocy to attack the personal char.
actcr of William Randolph Hearst.
1t was the first shot from the locker
of the trusts against the only man
who has made them tremble and
fear the wrath of the great com
mon people of the country. 1t
has created great Indignation here
aud has made Mr.. Hearst many
friends who otherwise were against
him mp to this time.
