OUTRAGEOUS PARTISANSHIP.

It high time for people Of Amado county, regard
less of party politics. sit and take notice of the drift Of
the present county administration 1t is simply Infamous
the way the board of supervisors acting isn't
decent party government 1t is shocking from moral and
financial point of view By reference to the proceedings OF
the board it will be that the editor of the Ledger lodged
protest with board last Monday against certain item
in printing claim by the Amador Dispatch, which with
bill of the Ledger office laid from the previous
meeting Upon looking up claim, we discovered
meeting of the board that inadvertently had
charged for item of 50 in March bill that had been
presented and paid in January We therefore, voluntarily
corrected the claim by striking the item question: and
reducing claim in the of 49, And the bill correct
ed only thing before the board the subject But
seeming did suit the members of the supervisors to
have matters anicaby done in that way And instead of
allowing the claim corrected they dsregarded the volun
tee reduction the by the claimant and treated it
as though making demand for 5000 when the
face of showed that the claim merely for 1880 So
to vent their parsanshp something the minutes
are made to read that the bill of the Amador Ledger for
$40 5o allowed in the of 5000. This is con-
temptbe specimen of small mndedness that has been
paralleed the official records for long time. The
gers together with whoever acts their guiding genius
could and present the simple facts any matter
in which the Ledger is concerned They distort and
1nsrepresent and the motive for such action apparent
to require But let turn to the serious matter

SENATOR M'LAURN DIES SUDDENLY IN
HOME AT BRANDON, MISS.

Jackson, Miss, Dec. es.-United
States Senator Anselm Joseph Nc
Laurin died suddenly tonight of heart
disease at his home in Brandon, Mss.
The fatal attack seized Senator Nc
Laurin while hewas seated in a rock
ing chair in front of the FIRE place in
his library. Hef fell forward, without
speaking word and life was extinct
when members of his family reached
Ibis side.
The sudden death followed within
a few moments after a remark by
Senator McLaurin that he was feel
ing better than he had felt at any
time since his recent severe illness,
resulting from ptOmaine poisoning.

70 POslLGsTERs

From a recent count made by rur-
al carriers in one of the counties in
the State of New York of coins de-
posted by patrons in their boxes for
the purchase of stamp supplies. it
was found that each carrier in the
county was collecting an average of
us one-cent coins each week. This
average applied to al the routes in
operation throughout the country
would give the enormous total of
about SOC, ooo,o One-cent coins.
As most of these coins are deposit
ted loose in boxes, it is desirable that
you and the rural carriers, in a tact
full and polite way, put forth your
best efforts to induce patrons to pro-
vide themselves with stamp supplies
in advance of their needs, and to
equip their boxes with suitable coin
holding receptacles. 1t Should be
explained to patrons that the picking
of loose coins from boxes not only
results in needless hardship and suf-
fering to carriers in winter weather,
delays the delivery and collection of
the mails, but frequently results in
actual money loss to the carriers,
for if, in collecting coins from boxes,
they drop them into the snow or on
the ground without recovery, thev
are required to replace the amount
out of their own funds.
fit can be done without expense
to the Department, announcement of
the foregoing should be made in your
local paper. Respectfully;
p. v. DEGRAw,
Fourth Asst Postmaster General.

THE TALE THAT TAFT TOLD.

While spending the winter in Geor-
.gia, before his Inauguration as Presi-
dent, Mr.. Taft went to the city Of
Athens to deliver an address to the
students of the University of Geor-
gia. He met member of the fac
ulty-a staunch Democrat-who said
Judge, l voted the Democratic
ticket, but wanted to see you win. .
Judge Taft replied: You re-
mind me of the story of Brer Jasper
and Brer johnson, who were both
.decons in the Shilo Baptist church,
although avowed enemies.
Brer Jasper died and the other
deaeons told Brer johnson he must
say something good about the de-
ceased on Sunday night. At first he
declined, but finally consented.
Sunday night, when time for the
eulOgy arrived, he rose up slowly and
said: 'Bredern and Sistern, l prom
ised ter say sump'n good bout Dea-
con Jasper tonight, an l will say we
all hopes he's gone whar we knows
.he.aint. ;"

French Stories.

The peculiar simplicity Of. the
French peasant is illustrated by two
incidents. a peasant vent to his
postofice and offered for the mail a
letter which was over the weight
specified for a single stamp.
'This is too heavy" said the post
master. 'eYou will have to put an
other stamp on it"
@wh-wh-why," said the peasaut
with vide open eyes, w:w-wi1 en-
other stamp make it lighter"
Another peasant, presiding Over
the municipal council Of his village
gave the assembly a lecture on the
lack of necessity for any more road
building.
@As for the roads which are now
bad" he said, ct is Of no use to re-
pair them, for nobody travels over
them, and as for those which zre
good, why do anything to them nm
til they get bad?"

DEMAND PEARY
PROVE HIS CLAIM
ADMIRAL SCHIEY CALLS UPON PEARY
SUBMIT HIS DATA.
Washington, De. es.-Reaffrm-

Washington, Dec. es.-ReaHrm-
ing his complete confidence IN DR..
Cook, Rear Admiral W. S. Schley,
retired, today called publieally upon
Commander Peary to submit his proofs
that he reached the North Pole to
some scientific body other than the
National Geographic Society. This
the admiral declares should be done
at once in the interest of justice and
to establish beyond question the claim
ofPeary.
The admiral believes that the same
body which threw out and repudiated
Cooks data should be permitted to
pass upon the data submitted by
Peag to the geographic society.
The Danes are the best posted
body of men in the world on Artic
Matters he said. The consistory
Of. the University of Copenhagen
should be given the opportunity to
examine the Peary Proofs, for in that
way they would be submitted to the
same test that was applied to those
efCook. The consistory, which was
regarded by the civilized world as
more than friendly to DR.. Cook
showed by its action in turning down
the explorer that it holds the scales
of justice, as it sees them, evenly
and honestly"
Moreover, Admiral Schley believes
that the submission of the proofs to
Copenhagen should be insisted upon
by Peary, despite whatever the Ma
tiOnal Geographic sOciety's attitude
may be.
Admiral Schley declined to say on
what grounds he took exception to
the finding of the scientists of the
University of Copenhagen that Cook
had not been at the North Pole. lie
merely reaffrmed his belief in the.
explorer, adding that he believed also
that Peary, too, had gained the top
of the earth.
The importance of the admiral's
demand is increased by the fact that
he has had wide experience in the
far north.

SAYS WOMEN HAVE NOT AcU7EsENsEs


That women are less sensitive and
that the daintiest woman has no
more emotional sense in the purely
scientific view than her pet dog or
her Persian cat are the very latest
suppositions advanced by Prof. How
ard Parker, Harvard's great zOOIogist
and expert on the anatomy and phys
iology of sense organs. Regarding
the difference in sense development
of man and woman, Prof. Parker de-
clares.
WHO ever heard of a wOmn tea
faster, or woman wine faster? In
these occupations, where the most
acute sense are required, we find only
men. As for the question whether
woman has more highly developed
sense than man, l think that she has
not"
