Politics In the Poetofice.

The glaring impropriety Of turning
over the management Of the postal
business Of the United States to the.
manager Of a Presidential campaign'N
has become obvious to all men OF all
parties. Mr.. Hitchcock, as we have
always gladly admitted, could learn
to manage the business of the POST
office Department as well as he has
learned the ins and outs Of party poll
tics. He is the unhappy victim Of a
situation that he did not create. But
II is impossible for him or any other
man to serve these two divergent in
terests at the same time. How could
any man, in So distracting a predica-
ment' give wise thought and direction
to postal affairs, or rid his mind -
political motives when ne has decis-
ions to make? The scheme to pen-
alize the magazines. though pretend
ing to have a postal revenue motive.
has no merits whatever from the rev.
enue standpoint. If second-class I3nc

device would he to increase that
rate 10y p per cent. or even so per

dia;ely wipe out the existing deficit.

Resumes Work

Columbia, Feb. 2S.--Martha Cain.
a negro woman with the John Rob-
insOn circus, has returned to the show
after visiting relatives in Oran.. ug.
She was stolen on the streets o. Or
angeburg thirty years ago, when she
was five years old, and it was ~ ac.
cident that she learned her real
name. Her circus name is Lizzie
Lewis, hut Martha has no special
hankering after that cognomen. TIL,

rehearsing in Springfield, Mo, and it
is there that she has gone. Martha
Cain has never married, and says she
intends to follow the circus as long as
she is able. What else can I do?"
she asked in reply to question .. 20
whether she intended to be circus
woman AS long as she lives. 1t is in
teresting to note that the manage

the Andromedas wrecking. and II he
interposed an occasional question and
thus drew the girls sweet voice into
the talk 1t was invariably germane TO
the strange history Of the ship and her
human freight.
Coke's narrative was picturesque and
lurid. Every incident centered In the
striking personality Of Philip HoEier
From the instant the second shell
struck the winch and laid him appar
emily dead on the forecastle to the
very hour OF this coming together at
Las Flores. Hoxier held the stage. 1t
was he who took Iris on his shoulders
and brought her to safety through the
spume OF the wrathful sea. he who
carried her to the hut, he who crossed
Fernando Noronha alone to protect
her.
Coke was impartial. He would have
minimizcd his own singular bravery
In running up the ships signals had
not Iris given him a breathing space

her description. Otherwise Coke skip

A Just Rebuke and Profitable Lesson

The thought is that he condemned
them. just as Jesus said to some with
most kindly art. Woe unto you, scribes
and PhariseeS." etc. So Elisha pro-
nounced woe or blight upon those
youths Of various ages who taunted
him. He declared that something
would befall them Divine Justice
would square accounts and vindicate
him. Forthwith two she bears came
upon the rabble. put them to flight,
and fOrtytwO of the mob were torn
and wOunded-more or less. Opponents
OF the Bible read into this the forty
two children were killed. but nothing
OF the kind Is stated
We are to remember tnat the Israel
ties under the leadership of their King
Ahab and Queen Jezebel had been
turned to idOlatry. and that although
the Prophet Elijah had re-establshed
the true religion. the King and Queen
and the majority Of the people merely
tolerated it. These youths who had
TRADED against the Prophet were prob
ably the young men and boys Of Jeri-
cho.
Elisha Considered Typical.
Our interest in this story Of Elishas
experiences after Elijah was taken
away Increases as we consider the fact
that he. like Elijah. was quite posi-
tive and typical character We have
already intimated a correspondence be-
tween Elijah and the antitypical priests
and between Elisha and the antitypical
Levites Of the Gospel Age. Elisha may
also typify the Ancient Worthless, into
whose hands the instruction and bless
Ing OF the world will be placed at the
inauguration of Messiah's Kingdom:
princes in all the EARTH" From this
standpoint we might think Of Elisha
representing the secondary class Of the
spirit-begotten ones first. and that his
crossing Of Jordan represents the death
OF this class CT antitypical Levites.

Elisha and his work Of judgment and
restitution already referred to. CORE

Between Secretary Knox and the

Washington. Jan. 21.-Following the
Presidents message is the correspond

Canadian ministers and Secretary
Knox, the purpose of which was to
make sure that both sides had the
same understanding of what had been

use their best efforts to make the
necessary tariff changes by legislation
instead of by treaty. 1t was under

tariff policy that may be desirable in
the future.
