WHAT is A FERRYB0AT?
STEAMBOAT OR HIGHWAY?

NEW YORK, May 24-Is ferry boat
a steamship or a highway? This Is a
question that the supreme court Of the
United States may be called upon to de-
eide. The fedsral government has IL
beled the ferry boat Nassau. owned by
New York city, in an action to enforce
the payment of a penalty for an alleged
violation of a federal statute which for
bids the transportation Of iniammable or
explosive materials on steamships except
on the decks.
The government charges that wagon
load of gasoline was carried on the Mas
sau, which plies between Brooklyn and
the Wall street section of New York.
Counsel for the city contends that the
Nassau is not a steamship at all, but a
highway, being a continuation Of streets
in New York city, and as necessary as
a bridge.

On Tuesday of last week a COM
mittee of representative citizens of
Bingville waited on us (they waited
about four hours on us, being as
we was out trying to collect some
back subscriptions at the time, but
failed) and wanted us to run for
postmaster of Bingville on the in
dependent ticket. The chairman of
the committee was Cy Hoskins, our
well-known townsman. Mr.. Hos
kins stated that he desired US to
consider this honor which the citi-
zens of Bingville had so unexpect-
eddy thrust upon us prayerfully and
tearfully before giving Our answer.
He further stated that the admins
tration of Eph Higgins, who is the
present postmaster of Bingville, is
not satisfactory, being as Eph has
been opening so many letters of
late to see what is inside of them
that the people who the letters was
addressed to have almost got so
they look upon such doings as i'm
pudence. The committee stated
that it is aware that Eph's term of
office don't expire until the next
presidenshial eleckshion, but they
calkilate if sufficient charges was
brought against Eph and that if we
run for postmaster and everybody
in Bingville voted for us, Eph
would be kicked out and we would
take his place in spite of the gov
eminent.
We would be low down ornery
cur if we didn't appreciate this
great political honor which the citi-
zens of Bingville has saw fit to
thrust upon us. 1t fills our bosom
with vanity and pride and stuck
upness to know that the voters OF
this thriving community withou,
regard to party, religion, sex OF
good breeding, have esteemed us
eligible to discharge the duties OF
postmastership. which is the big
gest government position in Bing-
willie.

Since Cy has been showing what the
horse can do he has been offered $l075
for the beast just as he stands, without
no halter nor no nothing. When Cy
wants this horse to 60 ahead all he
has to do is to ring little bell he has
in the wagon, twice. And when he
wants the horse to stop he only rings
the bell once. We call this pretty smart
