Fnder Mr. Watson's policy of not reappointing any of the postmaster's In the lirst and second-class ofllces, Montgomery was not In the eligible list, and therefore could not be .appointed, no matter how good his recommendations. When It was found Montgomery would not bo reappointed his friend and backer, Mr. Spencer, became a candidate for the position and received the Indorsement and support of Montgomery and his friends, unanimously. There were quite a number of other aspirants for the os!tion, who were vigorously In the light. Mr. Watson was here Friday night and met the candidates and their friends, heard all sides of the question discussed, and urged that the workers agree on some one candida4e, but that was not iossible, as the friends of both Mr. Spencer and W. G. Bridges were Insisting that their candidate be recommended, Mr. Watson took the matter under consideration and. as his telegram indicates, concluded to recommend Spencer. The appointment will be satisfactory to the large majority of the Republican workers and voters of the county". Mr. Spencer has lived In the county for the past twelve years.

Greatest Rullrond Autocrat Since Commodore Vnmlerhllt' Time. Earl D. Berry, In Alnslee's. Ne man .has taken a more earnest part in developing the community of Interest idea than James J. Hill, president of tne Great Northern Railroad, and director In several e)ther railroad corporations. Mr. Hill is a man of energy and ejuick decision, ami once he makes up his mind that a thing is desirable to do he proceeds to elo with all his might. "The community 01 Interest idea I growing In favor, ' he said not long ago, "ömall lines of railroad, with lew exceptions, are not likely to grow all by themselves, so it is better lor them to join interests with stremg lines. It is not necessary that the road,s should consolidate, altnough hi many instances a more economical administration could uudoubteetiy be obtalneel by such a course. The time i3 coming when the community of Interest will be so perfected that small lines of road will be cut off from connecting tratlic se as to make an independent policy 0:1 their part unprofitable." Mr. Hill is the autocrat of the Great Northern Railroad. Since Commodore Vanuerbilfs time there has not been so complete an instance of one-man power at the head of a great rallread system as is presented in the case f President Hill. He evolves policies and executes them, his ellrcctors bowing to his will with dignified but unanimous docility. Men in the employ of the Great Northern know that unless they satisfy James J. Hill their fate Is sealed. There Is no other court of appeal. And President Hill has the reputation of being very particular, to use the cautious phrase of nis subordinates. One dav Mr. Hill walked Into the office of a high oliicial of the Great Northern Railroad, in St. Paul, and brusquely announced: . A , Mr. , I do not think that you and mvsclf are well mated. Your successor will report for duty to-morrow. ' . This high official had been drawing a salary of 510,(M) per year tor a long time, and he had grown into the belief that he was a fixture in the Great Northern service. But he went without arguing the question with Mr. Hill. When James J. Hill was elected a directed of the Erie Railroad a few months ago there was intrepidation among many of the employes of that company, for the report was passed from lip to lip that Great Northern methods were to be applied to Lw affairs of the Eric. Mr. Hill is economicil as well as exacting. He does not believe in having too many heads of departments, and he is averse to hiring two men to perlorm duties that can be performed by one quick and alert man. It is the quick an1 aiert type of man that has the least to tear from this pushing, dominating and successful railroad president. In order to preserve harmony and a prosperous railroad peace in the Northwestern territory, Mr. Hill secured a large interest in the Northern Pacific Railroad, which is the Great Northern's natural rival. An effort was made to combine theae two properties under Mr. Hill's management, but an adverse public sentiment and anti-consolidation statutes of the severa'. States traversed by the two reoids compelled a speedy abandonment of this project. No public sentiment nor laws, however, could prevent Mr. Hill and his friends from becoming large stockholders in the Northern Pacific, and now it is the common belief that should a buyer come Ij market with sullkdent monpy to pay for the control of the Northern Pacific, he neeei lugotiato with but two men, viz., J. Pierpont Morgan and James J. HJU. Within the past few montls Interest allied with Mr. Hill have bought largely i.f the stock of the Chicago. Burlington iv: CJulnev Railroad, and there are Indications thU in due time that prosperous systeir. will be breught into closer relationship with the Northern Pacific. Growth of the Y. M. C. A.

In addition, thanksgiving services were had in all the churches for the downfall of the Maya stronghold, Chan Santa Cruz, which was to-eiay lormally eccupied by the federal troops and the state forces. President Diaz ; telegraphed his congratulations to the troops and their commanders. Public rejoicing is going on in every town In Yucatan and Campeche. The federal troops are rapidly taking possession of the strong places held by the Indians. A Thrifty People. Frank Leslie's Monthly. The cautious Dutch legislators undertook to see to It that the prince consort should be made to know his place. In the first place, they Insisted tjiat he should be naturalized and swear to fight against even the fatherland in case his bride's people should go to war with Germany. That came hard for the young man, and there was a time shortly after the betrothal when it looked as if he would revolt. Perhaps the young Queen came to the rescue and cajoled some of her unromantic advisers, for the conditions were somewhat modified, and although the duke finally became a full-fledged citizen of the Netherlands, it was provided that In case of the Queen's death or of a separation he might go back and be a German again. Any children would, of course, be Dutch. Then there was trouble over the title. Should the duke be king consort and addressed as "your Majesty?" "Heaven forbid!" cried the Socialists in Parliament. At last a sort of nondescript title was hit upon for a compromise, anel the day before, the wedding the eluke was formally created "his Royal Highness the Prince of the Netherlands." "Of course he should have a salary," said the Dutch Conservatives. "Not a stuiver." said the Socialists. The compromise in this case was even more odd than In the previous wrangle. The bridegroom is to receive nothing from the state as long as he is in the service of the state, but If the Queen should die he will receive thereafter JS-'.JjoO a year. The duke Is said to have been rather disgusted by this thrifty enactment, which leaves him to be provided for by his wife. The Queen, however, is rich in her own right even for a queen. She also receives a salary more than seven times as big as that of the President of the United States and has nn income from crown lands that brings her a total from the state of almost $3,eAK,ouo a year. Illiterate Chinese. Washington Letter. , Minister Wu is of opinion that the Immigration of an undesirable class of Chines.' could be checked by this government without resort to either treaties or drastic and yweeping exclusion laws, if Congress should establish an educational test. It would t. necessary, he says, only to require each immigrant to read a passage from the Constitution of the United States and write lh-; same or something like it at elictatlon in either the English or the Chinese lingua. A friend to whom he made this statement expressed surprise at the Idea that illiteracy wag so widespread among a peple famous for their love of learning. Mr. Wu explained that the Chinese of the cla.s against whom our exclusion laws were especially directed knew almost nothing of either reading or writing their own language. Some of them could paint a few arbitrary and conventional Chinese characters, of which they knew the meaning, and which sufficed for their memoranda or for signs. Many had picked up enough knowledge of numbers to figure out price! and change with one of their calculation boards, with boxwood beads strung on wires. But all this was far from possessing even what we know as the rudiments of an education, anel such a test as he suggested would promptly sift out the illiterates. Those persons without the intelligence or the ambition or the means t learn would have to rtiy at home, and only a select class could come in: and the tfst, being general in its application, wouid elc away with what now seems so harsh the proscription ef substantially a whole nation as If it were inherently noxious.
