to visit country postoffice and buy stamps and money orders the same as ordinary individuals, but their main business is to see if the clerks are attending strictly to business. If they are caught laughing or carrying on unnecessary conversation with people on the outside, they will be reported to the department. This agent nas the power to suspend employes at once and the only thing that is left for them to do is to square themselves with the department. The new quail law no doubt meets with the approval of those who love to shoot these birds for the sake of the sport there is in it. The law provides against the wholesale slaughter of the birds, inasmuch as it would be unlawful to sell quails killed in the state to any resident in this or any other state. If the law is enforced the pot-hunter will not find the quail business as profitable in the future as in the past. The law enforced will have a tendency to increase the number of birds from year to year and at the same time each honest lover of quail and grouse shooting will find that it will not interfere with his sport. •4--Judge Cox, of the supreme court the District of Columbia, dealt the civil service law a hard blow, Tuesday about knocking it out. The case was that of John G. Wood, formerly superintendent of mails at Louisville, Ky., who had been ousted from office, and was a test of the civil service law. The judge held that removals can be made at the will of the president or the heads of the departments, that law making power cannot be delegated by congress to the commission, and that rules made by an administration

cannot last beyond the term of the chief executive. Thus, if the judge’s decision stands, “snivil” service reform will soon be a thing of the past. The following letter was written hv Governor Mount to the Chicago Times-Herald in relation to the recent white capping in this city: To the Editor of the Times-Herald: Apropos of the recent white cap outrage in Adams county, I may say that I am opposed to lynch law under any and all circumstances. No crime, however heinous, justifies mob violence. As to what should be meted out to a man that whips his wife or abuses her in any way, I would be in favor of a very severe penalty administered by a court ot justice, and if the whipping post is justified under any pretext wife beating would be a cause of justification, but I want the whipping administered by some one appointed by the court and the punishment to be the verdict of the court. Any assault upon a woman is a crime deserving the severest punishment speedily meted out, and I trust the dorment sense of our courts of justice will be quickened along that line and that they will see to it that such punishment is speedily and severely administered. James A. Mount, Governor. Remember my son, you have to work, whether you handle a pick or a pen, a wheelbarrow or a set of books; whether you dig a ditch or edit a paper, or write stories, you must work. If you look around you will see that the men who are the most able to live the rest of their days without work are the men who have worked the hardest. Don’t be afraid of killing yourself with overwork. More men die who quit at 6 p. m. and don’t go home until 11 p. m. than from overwork. Work gives you an appetite for your meals. It lends solidity to your slumbers, and gives a grateful appreciation of a holiday. There are young men who don’t work but the world is not proud of them. It does not know their names even; it simply speaks of “old-so-and-so’s” boys. The great busy world doesn’t know they are here, bo take off your coat and make a dust in the world. The busier you are the less harm you are apt to get into, the sweeter will be your sleep, the brighter and happier your holidays, and the better satisfied will be the world with you. In going about under cover of darkness, to destroy private property, the city council and executive officers of Decatur have set an example of anarchy that will, sooner or later, bear wretched fruit in their little city. The owner of a private electric lighting system in Decatur has been ordered by act of the city council to remove from the streets his lamps and poles. He had not fully complied with the order, and, at a meeting Wednesday night the ci y council, by resolution, ordered the marshal and his officers to remove the objectionable property from the streets forthwith. At midnight the work was commenced and before daylight the poles were sawed down and the lamps and wire wrecked. The city of Deca tur surely has not elected to its lawmaking body an assembly of idiots and asses so crass and feeble they did not know the city’s proper redress, if the streets were being occupied without franchise, was in the courts. The spectacle of the legislative and executive functionaries of an intelligent community proceeding stealthily under cover of night, to lay waste to private property is one for the delectation and enlightenment of all men. Such lawlessness of officials will quickly be made the pretext of knaves and vandals who seek lawless ends. — Fort Wayne Sentinel. The Grandest Remedy. Mr. R. B.

A few weeks ago the editor was taken with a severe cold that caused him to be in a most miserable condition. It was undoubtedly a bad case of la grippe and recognizing it as dangerous he took immediate steps to bring about a speedy cure. From the advertisement of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and the many good recommendations included therein, we concluded to make a first trial of the medicine. To say that it was satisfactory in its resits, is putting it very mildly, indeed. It acted like magic and the result was a speedy and permanent cure. We have no hesitancy in recommending this excellent Cough Remedy to anyone afflicted with a cough or cold in any form. Ihe Banner ot Liberty, Libertytown, Maryland.
