THE WOMAN POSTMASTER
Baltimore Sun.


Senator Clay, of Georgia, Is entire
ly in the right in opposing the dis
charge of women postmasters In the
smaller postofflces in the South, The
village postoffice is coveted by the
storekeepers, who wish to have it in
the country store to attract custom
ers. 1t also has its political import
ance, and the postoffice is often the
gathering place of the local polite
ians, where they exchange views and
agree upon men and neighborhoOd
affairs and delegates to county con-
ventions and what not Because of
these gatherings and the smoky at
mosphere of the many country stores,
the posoffice domiciled therein is not
always the most attractive place for
women and children to go for their
letters
When the postmaster IS q woman
everything is different. Some store
keeper has usually been deprived of
the ONCE and misses 1t in his bust
ness. 1t is no longer a congenial
place for the district politicians to
assemble and smoke. But 1t is clean
and hit for women to enter. The
mail matter is disposed of in an or
derby way. There is always some
one present to wait upon people, and.
as an almost invariable rule, there is
the strictest accounting for the gov
eminent funds. The ofice of rural
postmaster is one which can be filled
NEST acceptably by women, and usual
ly without taking them from their
home duties. These appointments
ought not to be restricted to men.
The more women employed in. them
the better for the public and for the,
government.

Senator Joseph F. Johnston, of Ala
bama, addressing a Boston audience
recently on the negro question, a spe-
c1al request of him to discuss that sub
Ject having been made, administered
very subtle rebuke to the wiseacres
OF that reservoir of all knowledge.
Senator Johnston said that he ap-
preached the task of speaking upon
the negro question with some Difficult
ty, because his Information covers a
period of only fifty years intimacy
with the subject. During the war be-
tween the states" he said, ethe men
who seemed most capable of directing
the movements of our armies were
those remote from the front, and the
Judgments became more infallible ac-
cording to the squares of their dis
lance from the firing line" That de-
hcious bit of irony should have >anes-
thetized the patient for pretty COM
plete oratorical operation forrthe pur-
pose of relieving its ignorance. Ger
talnly Senator Johnston proceeds
more scientifically and effectively to-
ward instruction of the New Highlander
upon this southern problem than our
own senator, to cite but one example
OF, the ranter. But, of course, Tilman
Is not interested in instructing his
hearers; he is only after the Yankee

ALL SORTS.

It is estimated that the cutting OF
the Cullinan diamond. which has been
presented to King Edward VII, by his
subjects in the Transvaal, will cost
between $4,000 and $4,000, and will
require something like two years
work. An extra expense will be irrsur-
ance for the journey to Holland and
back. matter Of $4,000. What the
cutting win add to the value of the
stone, which at present looks very
much like a big lump of washing soda,
is matter for speculation rather than
exact appraisal. If cut up it might re-
aliZe from 100000 TO S750,000. As a
single stone it has been rated as high
as $10,000,000. But there are not
enough people who can afford to buy
such diamond to establish anything
like fixed value. 1t might well, If put
into the market, have proved white
elephant.
Ambassadors, particularly ambassa-
doris from Great Britain, are assumed

ages, who always live up to the dig
nifty of their OFFICE. There Is less of
the high and mighty about James
Bryce, however, than almost any one
of the British members of the diplo
matte service that we have had at
Washington in recent times. A caller
on him in New orksrecentIy had this
quality in Bryce's makeup impressed
upon him in al amusing way. The call
er went to see Mr.. Bryce one Sunday
morning while the author of the
American Commonwealth was stay
ing in the city home of Andrew Car
negie. The ambassador met the caller
in the main hall of the Carnegie house
and begged him to come this way,
where we can talk undisturbed' The
way led the visitor into the desert
ed library The first thing the am
bassador did when his guest was seat
ed was to fish down in the pockets of
his short coat and pull out a worn to-
bacco pouch and a well-blackened
briar of the bulldog variety, which
he proceeded to fill and smoke. This
was what, as the caller soon realized.
the distinguished diplomat wanted to
be "undisturbed" about.
