Though defea?Hl in his Senator nil aspi?
rations, Dr. Hunter, of Kentucky, is by
no means dead politically. Washington
advices state that he is at present consid?
ering whether he will accept a good ap?
pointment in this country, or one of sev?
eral fat places abroad, of which he has
been offered the choice by President Mc?
Kinley. Pecuniarily, no doubt he will be
better off than if he had been elected Sen
alor.
Representative Cochrau's amendment to
the corstitution, making a tax on in?
comes of all kinds a fit subject for legal
enactment by the Congress of the United
States, ought to be adopted. The amend?
ment reads as follows: "An income tax
shnll not bo considered as a direct tax
within the meaning of section two and
section nine of article one of the Consti?
tution; but the Congress nhnll hav power
to lay and collect a tax on incomes derived
from any source whatever without regard
to apportionment or euumeratlou."
The authorities of Cleveland, Ohio, in
endeavoring to enforce the Sunday law
arrested eighteen baseball players and an
umpire just after the beginning of the
game last Sabbath and though the case
lias been postponed till to day it is gener?
ally believed all the offenders will be fined.
Sunday observance is not so rigidly en?
forced in the West as in the East and
South, but it is a pleasure to note that
the custom is rapidly extending in that
direction.
A number of silver Rcpulican members
of the Senate and Housn have decided to
support a proposition providing for an
export bcuuty on agricultural products.
They take the position that by this sys?
tem only enn the farmer secure benefits to
compensate him for import duties on
other article*, and will support a proposi?
tion for an amendment to the tariff .bill
providing for the bounties. Senator Can?
non will offer the amendment in the Sen?
ate at nu early day und the proposition
seems to be growing in favor the more it
is discussed.
Broker Chapman, who has braved nil
the terrors of the law rather than tell
what ho knows about the affairs of the
sugar trust, began to serve his term of
one month imprisonment in the United
States jail ax Washington yesterday. He
will only suffer from the confinement, as
his stay will be made as pleasant as pos
siule for him. Soups and French dishes
will be sent him daily from the Washing?
ton hotels and all o( bis wants will be
looked after by a waiter from that estab?
lishment. Imprh onment of that character
is not so bad when contrasted with what
men without money, influence or friends
hare to snfTer under similar circum?
stances. "
If it be true, as stated in the dispatches
from Washington, that General Long*
street is to be appointed railroad commis?
sioner in place of General Wade Hamp?
ton, it will add to the popularity in the
South neither of the administration nor
of the gentleman '.from Georgia. There
are other places, any one of which the
President might bestow on General Long
street without disturbing the gallant,
South Carolinian, who is surely entitled
to as much consideration for his public
services us his.competitor. Besides, the
doughty fighter of the army of Northern
"Virginia could just as well have picked
out some other place as the ore with
which his name has been constantly con?
nected since the beginning of the presi nt
administration. The duties of comrade

ship, it nothing more, ouaht to have re?
strained his greed in this instance. It Is
also stated that General Lougstreet is too
old and feeble to properly discharge the
duties ol railroad commissioner, being,in
addition to his other infirmities, almost
as deaf as a post. It is hoped there may
be yet some mistake as to the removal of
General Hampton and that he will be al?
lowed to hold the position.
The sentence of dismissal in tho case of
Captain Romoyn, of the United States
army, who was recently tried by a court
martial at Atlantn, Georgia, for striking
a brother officer and uttering disparaging
remarks concerning the hitter's wife, is a
severe one, but not much milder under
the circumstances than was to have been
expected, as the evidence showed him the
aggressor and proved also that he was a
man of unreasonable prejudices as well
as an ungovernable temper. It Is hoped,
however, on account of bis good record as
a soldier and his devotion to his daughter,
for whose sake he was led Into the mls
takts, that the President will modify tho
sentence so that he cau enjoy the bene?
fits of the retirement, to whloh he would
have been entitled but for his serious
lapse in discipline.
Ex-Postumster General Wanamakcr Is
a good judge of men and things, and cue
of the best business men in the country.
What he says about existing conditions
shculd have weight with men of all par?
ties, for all are agreed that he knows
what he is talking about. Here is what
he said in a recent address to business
men in Philadelphia:
"The couutry is not prosperous. Since
the outset of the last Presidential cam?
paign the party press and political leaders
generally Gxcd the November election of
1800 as the ?ate of the beginning ot good
times. A full half of the year has expired
since the wi'l of the Republican party
was declared. Thus far but one of the
important issues of the campaign is hear?
ing settlement, and hardly any noticeable
improvement of the wretched times is
manifest. The tide will soon set in
strongly against tho Republican party
unless the depression of business is al?
tered. Idleness and want breed a bitter
discontent, which will never be overcome
until there Is ample employment."
As might have been expected, Turkey 's
terms of peace with Greece arc exceed?
ingly heavy, being besides an indemnity
for losses and expenses incurred so far
.?50,000,000, nlso a demand that Thessaly
be annexed to the Ottoman empire The
band of Russia is observed in all this,
and a mitigation of'these exactions will
be difficult to obtain. With *a splendid
fighting machino of over hnlf a million of
men, the great assassin has, since the re?
cent victories of bis troops in the war
with Greece, assumed a tone of arrogance
that bodes ill to the pence of Europe,
unless he is allowed to have his own wnj
in the terms of peace. It is understood
that Germany will oppose his demands,
and as public opinion In England, Frnnce
and Italy is on the sWe *of Greeco, suffi?
cient pressure may be brought to bear
upon the sultan to effect a matc':u*A refluc*
tion in bis exactions toward his defeated
foe. A general European war, howe>er,
is by no menus impossible as the outcome
of the leceut Turkish victories, and
should the sultan decide to make it a
"holy war," so far as the .Turks are con?
cerned, there is no foreseeing the end.
One thiug has been clearly shown by the
prescpt conflict between Greece and Tur?
key, aud it is that the Turkish empire is
by no means in a moribund condition; but
that its rulers will resist desperately any
effort on the part of the powers to deprive
them of the power or prestige gained by
the courage anil endurance of their sol?
diers.
VIRGINIA ALL RIGHT.
According to the news from Washing*
ton the Democrats hare agreed for the
time being to bury their differences and
unite in a determined opposition to the
Republican tariff programme, which is so
oppressive to the great mass of the people
anil so much in the interest of trusts and
monopolies. Th's is a hopeful sign, but
it refers only to national politics. In the
various States, and especially in Virginia,
this year, the free coinage of silver will
be regarded as the paramount issue, and
as the o'd element comprises a very small
fraction of the Democratic party in this
State, it will cut no ligure in making the
platform or in the nomination of candi?
dates. Somehow or other, the idea has
been sent forth that Virginia Democrats
would follow the programme now an?
nounced from Washington as the national
policy. This is altogether a mistake.
The silver sentiment was never stronger
in Virginia than it, is at this time, and in
the selection of delegates to tho Demo?
cratic State convention the position of
the candidates upon the financial question
will be regarded by ihc voters as Hit test
of their fitness to represent them in the
State convention. If they have a clear
record in regaul to silver coinage, they
will be elected, and since this will be the
requirement as to the delegates to the
convention, it follows of course that in
the nomination of candidates for go v
ernor" and In Other State officers this test
will be most rigidly enforced. The pros?
perity predicted as a certain accompani?
ment of the election of McKinley seems
mure remote than ever, and conve-ts to
the doctrine of free coinage are being
added to tho columns of the opposition to
Republicanism in large numbers dally.
The people are convinced that good
times will only conic when silver has been
rehabilitated, and all the indications are
that from now until 1!KH) the success of
the opposition representing this principle
will be steady and continuous, ending in
that year in a sleeping victory that will
elect a ullver representative as President,
nnd return n heavy majority of men of
the same views to both houses of Con
gross.
THE AMENDE HONORABLE.
To tho Editor of The Times: I was ab?
sent when the card of Colonel Logan was
published in reply to my card of the 27th
ult., and I saw it for the first time to-day
through the courtesy of a friend. It
affords me pleasure to give Colonel Logan
credit for the full measure of his conten?
tion, and to the extent of the injustice
done him by my card. I gladly retreat.
However, it is not~so interesting to the
people whether we had or had not the op?
portunity to fight thelbuildlng nnd loan
association^ bill in its passage through
tho legislature us it Is how our worthy
representative voted on it. If he will en?
lighten us on that point Ve will bo duly
thankful. D. C. MOOMAW.

3 ! AUGUSTA AROUSED.
Ladies Indignantly Protest Against a
Negro Postmnstor.
Tho announcement thnt Col. E. A.
Buck, the Republican dispenser of federal
patronage in Georgia, has recommended
the appoiutmeut of a -.olored man named
Lyons tor postmaster at Augusta has
created unfavorable comment In that city.
Says an Augusta dispatch:
"There is absolutely no circle?com?
mercial, professional,religious or social?
in which there is not unanimous opposi?
tion to his appointment, as can be easily
demonstrated by reference to the protests
that aro cn Qlo with the President and
the 'Postmater General in Washington.
Protests hare been made in the form of
formal resolutions unuanimously adopted
by the Cotton Exchange and Chamber ot
Commerce, in the firm ot petitions,
slened by the leading ministers of the
city, taking the position thnt it would be
suicidal to the negroes' best interests in
the community, signed by ."the wholesale
merehants, signed by the iusuranco men
of Augusta, signed by the Retatl Grocers'
Association and various other organiza?
tions."
Two hundred Augusta ladies have
signed a petition to President McKinley
in which they Bay:
: "The mortifying Intelligence has been
brought to our attention through the pa?
pers of tho city that your excellency is
considering the name of a colored man for
postmaster at Augusta. We do not know
any tiling about the fitness of tho appli?
cant; wo only know that It .would be pe?
culiarly unpleasant to the white women
of this city whose business calls'theni to
the postoffice that a colored man should
be in cbargo thereof.
"We pray that your excellency may
consider the wishes of the wonen ^of the
city nnd *"ot place one of that race in
charge of the postofllce. This petition is
actuated by no desire to advance the In?
terests of any candidate, but simply to
add our prayerful request that this hu?
miliation iL ay not be put upon us."
CIVIL SERVICE REFORM |
President McKinley Urged to Enforce
Certain Rules.
Washington, May 18.?Great pressure
was brought to benr upon the President
for reform in certain branches of the
civil service, especially since the meetings
of the Senate committee of Inquiry. ?1
The main propositions as to the "re?
forms" demanded are the abolition of the
rule allowing the reinstatement of gov?
ernment employes without examination
only within a year from the "time ol the
removal from service; "the exception
from examination of all chiefs of divis?
ions, and superintendents:" the issuing
of a general order rescinding all exten?
sions of the classified service made 'since
Mr. Harrison's ndmiui.strntiou.
The President has given no Intimation
as to what course ho will pursue.
STEWART'S SCHEME.
Offers an Amendment to the Tariff Bill
as to Treasury Reserve.
Washington, May 18.?Mr. Stewart, ol
Nevada, gave notice to-day, that he wish?
ed to offer an r.mendmeut to the tariff
bill which he asked to be read.
It provides that there "shall be at all
times a reserve fund of fifty million dol?
lars In the Treasury. Whenever the
available balances exceed the amount to
Invest the surplus in United States
banks; when less it shall issue legal ten?
der non-Interest bearing notes to be re?
deemable from the first surplus over fifty
millions.
If asked the question "Have you got a
stomach!-" it wonld be safe on general
princples, to ansver "Yes." But, if you
are sure of it, that Is, if you crer feel any
distress after eating or any pains of what;
ever description in the regiou of the stom?
ach, you hare got something more than
an ordinary stomach; In other words, yon
have got a diseased stomach. The stom?
ach is a powciful muscle, and the proper
remedy for a tired muscle Is rest. Try
the Shaker Digestive Cordial, for this
product not only contnins digested food,
which will nourish the system without
any work on the part of the diseased or?
gans, but it aids the digestion of other
foods as well. You can test It* value in
your case for the trifling sum of 10 cents.
