Charleston Enterprise.

Charleston Enterprise.
The engineer and fireman on the
eastbOund local freight train, which
left Charleston late Wednesday
evening for Birds Point, were drunk.
When the train reached Il point
about three miles east Of town they
notified Conductor MCGOWAN that
they had neither steam nor water
and could go no further The brake
man hurried back here on foot and
reported to the trainmastcr, who at
once despatched another engine to
the laid-Out tram. The engineer and
fireman also walked back to Charles
ton and were at once discharged
from the employ Of the company.
1t is not likely that they will ever
again be given employment by Il
railroad company. The freight train
finally arrived at Birds Point lust
before midnight.

From the vicinity of Caruth
comes Il complaint that some ofthc
young ladies and young widows re-
ceive attentions from married men,
wear their watches and firt with
them. The writer of the letter says
these men then 90 home, mistrcat
their wives, refuse to 90 to church
with them, and bring out criticisms
from other sinners. He suggests
that there shold he moral improve
ment among some Of Dunklin coun-
tvs people, and, no doubt, he is
right.-Dunklin Democrat.
These are the same kind of good
fellows that have code of morals
for their wives and daughters, and
Il code of immorals for themselves.

AMERICAN JEWS IN RUSSIA.
Erect OF This Governments Efforts 10
Prevent discrimination Against Them.

WARRINGTON, Nov 2.-The State Depart
ment was advised to-day from the Ameri-
can Embassy at st. Petersburg that there
Is reason to expect favorable response
to the pepistent and vigorous efforts Of
the President and Secretary Hay to obtain
from the Russian Government the same
treatment and privileges to American citi-
zens Of the Hebrew faith who may visit
Russia as Is accorded to other citizens OF
this and other civilized countries. ,
The representations by this Government
to Russia, protesting against harsh and
discriminatory treatment Of American He
brews who have visited Russia, have been
carried on for the past twenty years with
out definite improvement in the attitude
OF the Russian Government. A few weeks
ago the President again directed the De-
partment OF. State to present the matter
most earnestly to the Russian Government,
and In obedience to his directions forceful
instructions wers ssnt to Ambassador
Mccormick at St. Petersburg to lay the
matter Immediately befors Count Lams-
dorff. The instructions said:
You will make known to his Excellency
the views OF this Government as to the
,eSpedieney of.putting an end to such dis
ordinations between different classes of
Anne rican citizens on account Of their relig-
ious faith. when seeking to avail them
selves of the common privilege Of civilized.
peoples to visit other friendly countries
Tor business or travel.
5-! That such discriminatory treatment
IL naturally a matter Of much concern to
his Government is a proposition which
this Excelency. will readily comprehend
without dissent. In no other country in
the world is a class discrimination applied
to our visiting citizens. That the benefits
acccruing to US are sufficient to counter
open to4ueetior fromthe practical stand
point. In the view OF the President it is net
easy TO discern the com pensating advan-
tage to the Russian Government in the ex-'
cluson OF n class Of tourists and men of
,business. whose character and position
in life are such as In most cases to afford
guarantee against any abuse Of the hospi-
tality OF Russia. and whose intelligence
and sterling moral qualities fit them to be
typical representatives OF our people and
entitle them to win for themselves abroad
no less degree Of esteem than they enjoy
in their own land
This earnest statement OF the case has
not been without effect and the Depart
representations will bring about the de-
sired result at no late date. According
to informa ton which came to Washing
ton to-day, Count Iamsdorff has informed
the American Ambas ssador in st. Peters
burg that a special commission has been
instituted under supreme order, under
the direction OF the Ministry Of Interior,
for the purpose of general revision of
the passport rgula tions now in force.
The russian Foreign Officc has a repre-
sentative on this commission and Count
LamsdorfI. promises that the wishes of
his Government. set forth by the prrsi-
dent in the foregoing extract from the
instructions to our Ambassador, will! be
promptly presented with favorable and
satisfa ctory representations.

BRUNN MAY DE PROSECUTED.
Was Dismissed From Philadelphia Post
once for Soliciting Campaign Funds.

WASHINGTON. Nov. Illegal action will
probably be taken in the case Of Jacob G.,
Brunn, a clerk in the Philadelphia post
Office, who was dismissed on charge Of
soliciting funds for campaign purposes,
The Civil Service Commission has brought
the case to the attention OF the Depart.
ment Of Justice, with recommendation
that Brunn be prosecuted In the courts
under the law which makes 1t misde-
meanor for any Federal officer TO make
campaign assessments.
The dismissal OF Brunn from the Phila-
delphia post Office has created quite stir
among Pennsylvania politicians and George
Starr, Jr, we'll known in Philadelphia, has
declared that the Presidents action in
removing Brunn was an outrage. Brunn
did not deny the charge OF making assess
ments, but ne said that as he held an -ex-
oepted position' he was not bound by the
civil service laws.
According to the interpretation OF the
law by the Civil Service Commission any
person occupying a Federal position who
solioits1political contributions Ia guilty OF a
misdemeanor as well as any person In the
Government service who makes a cortribu-
ition to any political organization OF which
