AFTER 58 YEARS Civil War Veteran Traces Bullet Fired at Vicksburg Siege.

Lelso, Wash, Sept. 6.--E. J. Knapp, a Civil War veteran, after 5S years, has traced the course of a bullet he fired at the siege of Vicksburg.
 Some time ago Mr. Knapp read news dispatch saying that W. V. Meadows, Confederate veteran of Lanott, Ala, had coughed up a bullet which was shot into his eye at Nicksburg. MT Meadows, the account said, was a member of the Thirty-seyenth Alabama Regiment, and MT Knapp recalled an incident al the siege, when he and three other members of the Fifth Iowa Volunteers were called upon to si- lence Confederate sharpshoOter who was firing through small hole in sheet of boiler plate.
 After MT. Knapp fired the sharp shooters shots were discontinued, and it was surmised that he had been shot in the eye.
 When MT. Knapp wrote to MT Meadows the latter said that he was the man behind the boiler plate and that the bullet entered his right eye. Mr. Knapp received a photo graph of the bullet and of MT Mea dows. The two veterans have en- ioyed a considerable correspondence over the incident.

 service which is conspicuously open for paving off party debts There is very little civil service in the pro- hibition service, and practically no tenure of office, and the ax has been swung relentlessly since the new commissioner took charge.
 The Department of Justice has been shaking few plums for the favored sons; and here and there, as in the Shipping Board, the railroad administration and elsewhere, an occasional berth is found for some particularly deserving party worker. few small jobs, paying little, if any, more than a congressmans sal ary. have been distributed by the Department of Justice, the Shipping Board and others.
 But it is in the postoffice depart ment that the party has found it's cal opportunity for political plunder, President Wilson made an honest ef- lOIl lO ldhS tlIS ppotOA tiNV '''t VI politics. And so long as his order remained unchanged, they were kept out of politics. But that did not suit the new administration, for it deprived the Republicans of thou- sands of offices which they wanted to distribute among the party work CTS.
 The hard and fast rule of Presi- dent Wilson, rigidly adhered to by him, that the person found best qualified for an office should have the appointment, removed all oppor- tunity for bringing political influ- ence to bear. and put the postoffiees of the country on a business basis.
 President Harding, by his eXecu- tive order, undid all his predecessor had done; abolished the business method of selecting postmasters, and placed the service squarely back again in party politics. Through the Harding order and it's interpre- tation by Postmaster General Hays, the 10000 or l2,000 first, second and third class postmasters have been taken over by the administra-
