The Republican spellbinders find
it impossible to explain away the
present high prices. The old Nc
Kinley tariff argument of the cheap
man and cheap coat" does not fill
the bill; for the cheap coat is now
cotton instead of wool, and the
poor man can hardly afford that
with the tariff advancing prices.

POSTOFFICE APPOINTMENTS.

Congressman James A. Hughes
seems to consider the postofFices in
bis district his own personal property,
to be used to his own personal adj
vantage.
The case of BarboursVille is a
strong point in instance. After he
had promised the post to w. H.
Stowasser, lifelong working re-
publican, Mr.. Hughes discovered,
when Abe Lilly became candidate
for the congressional nomination,
that, to retain control of the con-
gressional committee, he would have
to have the services of j. II. Me-
Comas, the committeeman from
Lincoln county, But it was charged
that McComas had moved from Lin
coin, and of course, he had, in that
case, no vote in the committee. a
little thing like that, however,
couldn't feaze Mr.. Hughes or the
members OF the committee who hum
bly, did his bidding. Atidayits were
prepared and signed by McComas to
the effect that he was still good
and loyal citizen of Lincoln county,
and hence entitled to serve on the
committee. With the aid Of Me-
Comas, Hughes was able to control
the committee, and through the con-
troll of the committee, and the re-
sort to desperate political measure,
he was able to defeat Abe Lilly for
the nomination, although Lilly won
every county in which there was a
fair expression of the sentiment Of
of the Republican voters themselves,
including Mr.. McComas' own county
of Lincoln.
But Mr.. McComas must be re-
warded. A nice postoffice, he
thought, would be about the proper
reward. But there were none
sufficiently nice in Lincoln county.
And besides, Mr.. McComas, like all
good men, would really prefer to re-
side in Cabell county, anyhow. In
deed, he was so impressed with
Cabell that he had been living in
county the greater part Of the time
for some years before his services
as n citizen" of Lincoln became so
sorely needed. Now the postmaster
ship at BarboursviIle became vacant
about the same time. How eminent
ly fitting it would be for Mr.. Hughes
to ignore his promise to Mr..
StowaSser, and reward his good
friend and able committeeman from
Lincoln county with the Barbours-
vile postofiice! And so it was done
The committeeman from Lincoln
county, in return for lis eminent
services to the congressman, became
the postmaster in BarbOursVille, in
the county of Cabell, and the tried
and true Cabell county republican,
SO long a citizen Of BarboursVille,
and the choice of the people of the
town was turned down, despite the
previous promise.
This is but one instance. There
are many others. Take, for instance
Williamson, Mingo County, The
postmastership there became vacant.
Apparently there was no republican
in Williamson fitted for the position.
At least the congressman found it

NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-Rrigadier-
General Arthur Murray Of the Coast
Artillery is IN New York preparing for
an extended trip of coast defense in
spection, which viii extend from Port

on the Gulf of Mexico.
The main purpose of the trip is to
determine lust what is necessary in
the way of additional coast fortified
tions to place the nation in such a pc
sition that it may feel safe from sue
cessful attack by an enemy. With this
data collected, he will 90 before the
various committees in Congress and ask
for the needed funds.

Pacific coast and in the islands. - saws
General Murray IN statement regard
ing his plains. cit is true that we
have not a line of continuous fortif-
cations the entire length of the Pacific
coast, which many people enormously
believe to be essential, but we are in
points where an enemy would be like
" to seek landing.
"In fact I may say that no enemy
could assail us a any of these vital
points. All of the towns and cities
along the Pacific are protected SPLEEN
didlv-so strongly that it would be
folly for any one to attempt 4 landing.
OF course there are places whore ships
Of war could land men. but these places
are such that it would be an easy mat
ter for our land forces to check an
invasion quickly. It would not take
| long to make an intruder captive
Unless there should be some sudden
and extraordinary change in the style
Of forts and guns and battleships, and
this does not seem possible, our work

from the Santa Fe Telegraph School

went right to the meat of the matter,
in emphasizing the need for education
that fits for real work in real life.
This is a school where you are learn
ing the kind of work that you are ex-
pected to do when you are out of
school, and that's one splendid thing
about it. There is a kind of education
that is general that simply gives dis
cipline and imparts culture, but does
rot directly fit one for doing some real
work. There is a good deal of forced
education along lines that nature never
intended. There is a good deal Of edu-
cation that is misplaced and that can
not be applied in after life. There is a
good deal Of money and time spent on
this sort of education that is thrown
away because it has no practical value.

be educated, but the trouble was they
knew so many things that didn't do
them any good. They were educated
along lines that were of no value to
them after they got out into life. This
life, anyhow, is a pretty serious piece
of business, but there's no use in sit
ting down and saying that you can't

M'MICHAEL IS SORRY.
SwindIer Writes Prof. Stanley a Letter
of Apology.

Begging his pardon for the "colos-
sal fraud" practiced upon him. Alex
ander McMichaeL. the clever swindler
arrested Tuesday afternoon, has writ
the Quincy school. McMichaei signs
the letter "a. Sidney Johnson the
name which he gave Professor Stanley
when he addressed the school.
In his letter McMichael thanks the
professor for the opportunity given
him to address the school. and as
sures Mr. Stanley that it rendered him
a very material service" He also says
that had he been acquainted with the
locality he would have been successful
in evading the officers, as he hints that
he was doing while at the Quincy in
stitute of learning.
With the exception of the statements
concerning his real identity, Nc
Michael tells the professor that his
statements were mainly true. He ad-
mits the joke is on himself rather
than Professor Stanley, but declares
it was an accident. The letter, which
is written on police court stationery,
is as follows:
principal Stanley. Quincy School N
Topeka
''Sir: 1 wish to apologize to YOU
for the interruption I made to YOUR
class sessions last Tuesday afternoon
and, though excepting perhaps the re-
marks concerning my real identity, it
was practically true. I trust you will
forgive the colossal fraud on your good
nature (you remember it was at your
request), and I sincerely hope you will
realize the presence of mind and nerve
it required on my part, under the CIR
cumstances.
1.-The incident was of very material
service to me for a few hours and had
been acquainted with the locality L
might have been successful
Had it not terminated thus others
would have been the victim of a joke
Joke is all on me now. trust that
in the near future I shall have an op-
portunity of showing the world that
I can be the sterling article and not
the imitation seen by you
again regrettfng the circumstance
and thanking you for your kind COM
ments on my effort and personality.
Yours faithfully,
