WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, February 14.-Legis-
lation demanded for many years by
postal employees throughout the
country and which will affect thous-
ands of employees in the postal SER
vice in Pennsylvania, in all prob
ability will be enacted during the
present session of Congress. The
postoffice appropriation bill, which
will come before the Senate next
week, contains a provision directing
the Postmaster General to allow not
exceeding thirty days leave of alb
sence with pay each year to assist
ant postmasters, supervisory officers,
clerks, city letter carriers, me-
chanics, skilled laborers, watchmen,
second class postoffices. In Pennsyl-
vania are 1872 first and second class
postoffices and te total number of
postal employees included by the
amendment is about 1000. This
number may be increased by anoth-
er provision of the amendment ex-
tending the months leave to railway
postal clerks whose duties require
them to work six days or more a
week throughout the year.
A bill extending the months leave
to postal employees has been intro
duced in each Congress for several
years by Senator Penrose, Chairman
of the Committee on Postoffices and
Postroads, at whose instance it was
inserted in the Post Office appropria-
tion bill as an amendment. Here
tofore it has been opposed by so
called watch dogs of the Treasury"
who have succeeded in defeating it.
This time it has the support of the
Postmaster General, who in a letter
to Senator Penrose has strongly in
dorsed it and emphasized it's ad-
vantages to the postal service. Post
master General Hitchcock states in
his letter that the proposed legis-
lation is desirable for many reasons
aside from the fact that it places the
postal employees upon the same
basis as other government employees
Mr.. Hitchcock says that nowhere
else in the government service are
the hours of service longer, the con-
ditions of employment more trying
or the amount of overtime work
greater than in our postotflces." He
also states that the prospect of re-
ceiVing a months vacation with full
pay would have a greater influence
in attracting capable men to the
postal service than any other in
ducement that could be offered al
equal expense.
Senator Penrose said to-day the
Senate, undoubtedly, would adopt
the amendment and that he expect.

the execution of the death penalty
has now been fully tested iii more
than one of the States, and it has
been proved to be by far the most
effective and humane method
known. 1t has none of the revolving
associations of the gallows and the
gibbet, and unlike the guillotine or
even the garrote, it especially lends
itself to decorum and privacy in the
performance of the most painful duty
required by organized society. AS
the purpose of capital punishment is
chiefly deterrent, and as modern pub
lie opinion has long passed beyond
the stage when the punishment and
torture of the criminal is regarded
as the primary intent, of the death
penalty, the substitution of the high
tension current for the hangman's s
rope is the direct line of progress.
The bill should be passed. Phila-

In Five rIinuteS
Upset Stomach FeeIs Splendid.


MI-O-NA stomach tablets will re-
lieve a distressed, sour or gassy
stomach in five minutes.
In three days they will make the
most miserable or cranky dyspeptic
feel that there is plenty of sunshine
in life.
In a week he will have an appetite
for and will eat without any bad af-
ter effects food which now causes his
stomach to strenuously rebel.
If continued for from two weeks to
a month MI-O-NA will thoroughly
renovate and cleanse the stomach
and will compel it, (no matter how
obstinate it may be) to throw off it's
weakness and flabbiness and become,
as nature intended it should be,
strong and elastic.
If you have a coated tongue, heart
burn, sour food upheavals, uneasi-
ness in stomach, dizziness, bilious
ness, sick headache, bad dreams or
any kind of stomach trouble put
your faith in MI-O-NA tablets.
They will make the stomach
strong, and when the stomach is
strong, good health, energy, vim and
vigor comes.
Fifty cents is all large box of
MI-O-NA costs at G.. w. Peirs, or
leading druggists everywhere, on
money back guarantee. Write
Booths Mi-o-na, Buffalo, N. y, for

BEAUTIFYING THE TRUTH!

We have been somewhat panied,
more mortified, and considerably cha
grined by being furnished with GER
tain news items recently by people
in whose reputation for truth and
veracity, "as attested by the speech
of the people in the community in
which they live" we had the high
est confidence. We would not like to
think that any one would intention
ally furnish a newspaper with incor-
rect information, especially since the
Law provides a severe penalty for
any such indiscretion, and we can
only charge the remissness of our
friends to the almost universal prac-
tice indulged in by many men and
women, of "beautifying the truth"

THE END OF THE WORLD.

When the last big hat has been pur-
chased, and the plumes are
broken and bent,
When the hobble skirt has been
banished, and no one cares
where it went.
We shall rest, and faith we shall
need it-and quit for an
aeon or two

condemning each thing that's
new.
There will be no word from Paris of
fashions of freakish mould;

told;
And the hair can be dressed as one
wills it, provided it's all
ones own,
And no puffs and curls at the play
house shall make any patron
groan.
And the men will have naught to
worry for the tailors will
show one style
That will satisfy all forever, and will
make no crimp in ones
pile;
And all who wear duds shall be
happy, and say: This is
grand, | declare

with perfectly cheerful
air.

OpTIMIsT AND PEssIMIsT.

Sim Wagner is an optimist.
He has a fortune in the bank,
And everybody greets him as
A citizen of lofty rank.
He has two autos and yacht,
A summer place down by the sea,
And stocks, and bonds, and real
estate
A cheerful optimist is he.
Jim Barton is a pessimist.
He's always desperately blue.
His children and his wife are i'll.
His rent is four months overdue.
For him life is no picnic, but
A constant struggle to exist.
It's worry, work and worry, work,
And he's a fearful pessimist.
For so it goes. The. fortunate
Take very cheerful views of life.
1t brings them joy, while to the poor
It's constant struggle, care, and
strife.
Such chance philosophy is false.
Here is a rule that's safe and
sure:
The genuine pessimist is rich,
The genuine optimist is poor.

that in the appointment
of a State Board of Education, when
that duty shall devolve upon him by
the adoption of the code by the Leg
islature, he will make the interests
of the schools themselves his sole
guide.
1t is a happy coincidence that in
the matter of the code the OrganiZa-
tion and the non-partisan advocates
of scientific educational progress find
themselves in harmony. 1t is pos
sible that the code is viewed askance
by certain persons from the very
fact of it's espousal, or rather accept
ance, in political quarters, but this
is a narrow view of the situation,
and is not to be encouraged. If the
politicians have been brought to see
the advantage of better methods of
school management, the closer con-
centration of responsibilities in mat
ters of financial control and direc-
ton: the reduction of the number of
directors, to the end that School
Boards may be detached from the ex-
ercise of executive functions more
properly belonging to paid experts,
and the establishment in Pennsylva-
mia of an endowment for public edu-
cation similar to that of other states
if they have attained to the light
in these respects, so much the bet
ter for the schools. Doubtless they
see some advantage for themselves
in the code, but if they shall be al
lowed to abuse that advantage the
fault will not be difficult to place. 1t
is in the power of the voters to safe
guard and support the public schools,
and in the exercise of that power
alone is there any certain guarantee.

Husbands as PronertY.

Considerable satisfaction will be
felt by mankind generally at the ar
gument advanced by a married wom-
an in suit involving another wom-
an that "a husband is property to a
wife and family, and to win him
away is nothing short of stealing"
SO it is the husband and not the
wife that is the human chattel."
The admission contrOverts the theory
upheld through generations of fe-
minist protest against the serfdom
imposed by man on his domestic
partner through unequal marriage
laws. The honest confession that
the contrary in the case has been Sc
cured at last, but at a cost to
feminine consistency which may be
expected to bring its proper rebuke
from every women's club in the land.
The fair plaintiff to secure her own
ends has proved false to one of the
cherished principles of the sex.
But the truth is out. 1t is man
who is the chattel, possession of
whom is gained by the marriage
ceremony and the right, title and in
terest to whom has been established
in suits for non-support or for aban-
donment during marriage as well as
in alimony proceedings afterwards.
His status as matrimonial property
has, to be sure, long been a matter
of court record. But it is gratifying
to have the courts upheld by the
higher feminine opinion All the
more interest for that reason will
attach to the outcome of the present
action to have husbands made sub
ject to the laws which safeguard
other forms of property New

the introduction of bill at Harris

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caus-
ed by an infiamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

Tener And The School Code.

Governor Tener was wise when he
decided to make the public educa-

ject of his address at the Lincoln
Day dinner in Philadelphia on Satur-
day evening, and his argument in
support of the pending school code
bill could hardly have been stronger
and more convincing. He addressed
himself particularly to those points
in the bill which have drawn the at
tacks from ill-advised and ill-inform-
ed school officials throughout the
State and laid emphasis upon the
strong points, as to which there is
substantial agreement. The strong
position on the subject taken by the
Governor at this time justifies the
