POSTAL SERVICE PAY.

After having spent many months in making a study of the salaries of the postal employees the joint congressional commission has made a recommendation that city carriers should receive an in- crease of S200 with minimum salary of s14oO and maximum of $500. For the clerks in the first and second class offices the same increase is recommended. There would be an increase for over a quarter of a million federal employees which would average slso 8 man and mean an increase in the postal payroll of nearly s35,OeO,ooo yearly.
 This it is to be remembered is in a department which according to the in sistence of it's head is making money but doing so at the expense of the ser vice even if regarded through the same financial spectacles as the departmen mt heads
 The post office department is one branch of the government where service
 is supposed to be the stock in trade There have been times when that service has been furnished but it is at low ebt today and bound to grow worse if the withdraw walls from the service continue The iHcL IS ltlal ltle DOAiCy uAuef HutCl ! the department has been run has beer against providing the service that is ex l pected It has been kept on the basi: 1 of trying to get the impossible out o

JIMMY'S SISTER TELLS WHY

Wasn't that Susie Bunce who just left here % asked the very young man of his pretty sister as he paused to draw on his gloves.
 "Uh huh.' his pretty sister told him. selecting another caramel What have you against Susie?"
 Hear her." the young man command ed the atmosphere. Say, there are oneor two things I'd like to know, right away !! Was 1 or was I not mistaken in thinking that you kissed Susie good-by twice and asked her to come again soon?"

 We'll accused the very young man, T heard you myself, with my own ears, telling somebody just yesterday that you couldn't bear Susie Bunce and that she bored you within an inch of your life, and, moreover, that you wouldn't trust her with a secret around the corner! Yet when she comes to see you, you sit and coo for two hours and k-k-kiss her good by when she leaves"
 What would you suggest?" his sis ter inquired T couldn't slap her face or turn my back on her when she sat down I don't want you to grow up to be one of those chronic kiekers who nev- CT by any chance suggest remedy!" Don't you worry.' the very young mar said sternly, sitting down. T just want to get next to this girl idea! I never heard anything so disgraeeful in my life Is that all you can trust girls.

Well" persisted the very young man. If you don't like her and she tells things. why did you tell her all that stuff about Herbert Adams? You might have just talked about the weather and Wilson and Mexico and things like that There's no sense
 My goodnessl" cried his sister. Susie doesn't know anything is the matter with Mexico now, to talk about Jimmy ? Why. you have to talk about what you're doing and your friends and I'm sure she won't repeat what said about Herbert. If she did-see here, Jimmy, I'd like to know what right you have coming in and upsetting me this way with your supposings l guess Susie never will repeat-

A DEPLoRABLE CONDITION.

We rave over the conditions which have prevailed in Mexico where there 1as been no regard for the lives of Aniericang and where many hundred lives have been lost in the past few Sears. We regard it as a frightful dis play Of unstable government but isn't there need for us 10 turn the spotlight on ourselves al the same time we are insisting upon better conditions below the Fio Grsnde?
 Every now and then this country is appalled, by the horrible acts of lynchins parties who undertake 10 bring about respect for other laws by deliberately violating law and order themselves. Tn other words they hope by their criminal Rets 10 impress upon those who are in vErizbly weaker mentally the fact that isus must be obeyed.
 There are waves of lynchings the same ss there are waves of other crimes but lhe extent 10 which they have been car. rfed on Is well disclosed by the figures that were presented to a congresaiona committee conducting hearings relative to legislation for the prevention of lynch ngs. According to figures presented there have been 3.0s1 lynchings in tn: twenty years ending with last year.
 Those iynehed were not subjects ot pthsr countries. but residents of tht United States but they were denied their rights just as much as the Ameri ran citizens who were shot down in Mex leo failed 10 get the protection that wal hue them.
 In % years there were lynchings in 4 Etates but the great bulk of them wer ia the southern three states. Georgia Mississippi and Texas having nearly HOO of them
 There Is Of course no defense for sucl lswlessness, and 1t is evident that lyncl law has not put an end to the erimei Ehieh H is supposed to deal with. Tn Tact Is that such mob rule is due to ; arse extent to race hatred.

 no taxes on sand or asses. yet he found i by experience that. from the taxes laid
 on almost all other things, he could neither maintain himself. his wife, nor i his ass as cheaply as formerly: he was, i therefore. under a necessity of advanc- ] ing the price of his sand. out of which alone all the taxes which he paid must
 be refunded. Thus the increase of tax
 es must increase the price Of every thing whether taxed or not: anl this i is one principal cause of the present extraordinary advance of provisions and all the necessaries of life.-Liter-

 LXXII-THE GREATEST POPULAR
 REFERENDUM IN HISTORY
 IS96-June, Mckinley nominated for
 President by the Republican
 National Convention at St.
 Louis.
 November, Elected.
 Although William Mckinley was des- cribed by his opponents as "a statesman with his ear to the ground" he failed to hear the warning rumble of the mighty conflict of forces which was to shake the parties and the country to their foundation in the approaching campaign of 1896, the most exciting in our political history Until that great battle between gold and silver was full upon him, Mckinley looked forward to a one-sided contest on the tariff ques- tion and an easy victory for himself as the advance agent of prosperity" and the herald of the full dinner pail" Protection had been his speciality, and country. On the subject of the gold naturally he preferred to prescribe his own favorite panacea for the ills of the standard, he was rather lukewarnl, having started out in congress as a free silver man and having voted afterward for all compromise silver legislation. Republican leaders generally and par ticularly those west of the Aleghenies dreaded to take a stand for go dlin 1896 | They had been timidiy straddling the question for twenty years and throwing sops' to the silver sentiment, and they s'rrank now from squarely facing the | issue.
 1 The Ohio state convention nominated | Mckinley in March on an meaningless platform. On the eve of the St. Louis l convention in June, he drafted for the 1 the National platform 8 money plank which warily summed the word gold Even after the convention had cast this | aside and nominated him for president or fiat declaration for the gold standard
