The Washington Post flatly charges Postmaster General Smith with hin dering investigation into" scandalous charges concerning ihe administration of the 'Washington city post office. Verily, things are getting warm in ad ministration circles, and more .than ice and electric fans are needed to lower the official temperature. , There was not a single drawback to the prepared arrangements of the McGivney memorial celebration insti gated by the Brooklyn Knights of Col umbus Wheelmen, which was held in this city yesterday, even the weatrier being perfect. The gathering of knights was the largest ever seen in Waterbury, and the committees and others having the matter in charge are deserving of praise for the suc cessful manner ' in which every part of the program was carried out. The visiting knights, especially those from Brooklyn, who had never before par taken of Waterbury's hospitality were profuse with praises for the reception tendered them. The solemn high mass, the oration by Father Slocum, the rendering of the ever pleasing grand high mass by the full choir of the Immaculate Conception church, assisted by Mrs Jennie Cam-bell-Keough, the march to the ceme tery, and the oration by Father O'Don nell, were features that made their impress on the minds of all, and par ticularly on the minds of the knights who were fortunate enough to be pres ent. It was a glorious day and a grand celebration which will live long in the memory of those who partici pated. At the very first opportunity the delegates elected to the Kansas City convention took occasion to endorse the Hon Alexander Troup, and also to nominate him for his old position on the national democratic committee, and this, notwithstanding the vote that was passed at the recent con vention endorsing Homer S. Cum mings for that position, all of which goes to prove that the Democrat was right when it said that the wishes of the delegates to the late convention were not shown in the business that was transacted. Taking a glance backward it would seem that the sil ver element of the convention were waiting for some leader to step for ward and sound the key note. Per haps they were waiting for our Mayor Kilduff to do it. The mayor is known to be aggressive in politics as well as other matters. The delegates looked upon him as a man who, when his mind was made up, and he was sure that he was right, would not be turn ed aside. In his speech as temporary chairman he ignored the silver ques tion, but had he been a delegate to the convention, and acted as its per manent chairman we feel sure that his old aggressiveness and determina tion would have shown itself, and the sentiments expressed by the delegates at New Haven Saturday would have been the expressed sentiments of the convention in this city. The question now arises, if the delegates have fail ed to carry out the wishes of the con vention in regard to the national com: mitteeman, where will they stand in regard to the other matters on which they were instructed. "It is difficult to understand," .says R. L. Metcalf, "why eastern demo crats who urge Mr Bryan to abandon the cause of bimetallism cannot ob tain food for reflection in the fact that every statement to the effect that Mr Bryan has abandoued that cause is given special prominence in the republican organs'." If we sift down, these "appeals to Mr Bryan," we find that they rest upon the idea of "prac tical politics." On this line the wis dom of this advice may be successful ly challenged. The strength of a pub lic man is not a thing which he may retain or dispose of according to his own pleasure. Its retention depends upon merit. Those who plead with Mr Bryan seem to imagine thai his strength is due to his personality. In truth, people have been attracted to him by his eloquence and his genial disposition, but they have remained true to him, because they believe in his sincerity, because they have learn ed that his attitude toward public questions is- governed by his con science and his ideas of what will best accomplish the greatest goocl to the greatest number. If these gen tlemen could convince Mr Bryan that he is wrong, then candid acknowledg ment of his error would be in line with "practical - politics." But these gentlemen do not-hope to convince Mr Bryan that he is in error; rather do they say, "We know you believe in bimetallism at the ration of sixteen to one just as you did four years ago. We. do not ask you to abandon your belief. We ask you simply to avoid the question, and thus insure your election." Would it be practical poli tics for this man who has risen to eminence arid'' power because of his candor and honesty in dealing with the public wourd it be practical poli tics for this man to abandon the char acteristics that have given him his strength? Keeping close to his ques tion of "practical politics," it may be intelligently ; maintained that the omission of bimetallism from Bryan's platform -would "not give to him one vote which . he would otherwise re ceive. Men who are willing to sur render every great principal rather than yield the single gold standard policy -would not vote for Bryan un less they believed that Bryan's views, as well as his jplatform, had undergone a-jinarkcd t hange. Where the man wjidr be'lieves that as president Mr Bryan would 'not exert every honor able effort to establish practical bi metallism, even rnough tne platform makers had omitted that feature'.' Is it not clear that uuless these gentle men can convert Mr Bryan to their view of the money question it will not be practical politics for Mr Bryan to yield to their pleas? In oilier words, will intelligent men insist that in this enlightened day it would be "practi cal politics" for the man who has ob tained public confidence by honesty and candor to seek public office by hypocrisy and deceit? HEARD IN PASSING. Not the least of the offenses of the republican party is the cowardly ad journment of congress without" the action upon important matters, such as a reduction of war taxes. The war department officially says the war in the Philippines is over, but the Associated Press goes right along reporting daily lighting, and every few days an official list of casualities is published. Republicans in the senate were forced into voting for a congressional investigation of all Cuban receipts aud expenditures, and they should be forced into doing the same for Porto Rico and the Philippines. Pray, what was the civil service commission doing while the republi can congressmen were putting consti tuents on the pay roll of the Wash ington City post office, who not only passed no examination but did no work except signing the pay roll. A GETTYSBURG INCIDENT. "I see by the war cablegrams," said a resident of Pittsburg at one of the hotels, "that some of the dead Boers found in the trenches where lyddite shells had burst were without visible wounds. Apparently they had been killed by shock. That recalls to me forcibly a very remarkable case, for which I can vouch personally. During the first day's fighting at Gettysburg a young man named Joe Cady, asecond lieutenant of the Twentieth Pennsyl vania, was supposed to have been killed by a shell which exploded within a few yards of his head. Later in the day some passing comrades saw that he was breathing and carried him to the rear, where the surgeons made an examination, and, greatly to their sur prise, could "find no wound. The man was in a profund stupor, but to all ap pearances was physically unhurt. He was sent to the general hospital at Washington, aud from thence to his home, still in the same condition. "For several weeks Cady lay exactly like on dead, and then, very gradually, he began to emerge from unconscious ness into a horrible automatic sort of life, next door to complete idocy. He could sit up, and even walk a few steps, but his mind was a blank, and the only sounds he uttered were gut tural noises, like an animal. That shocking condition remained unaltered for nearly three years; then, suddenly, without warning, he had a seizure like catalepsy, from which he awoke in a few hQUi'4 . in complete possession of his reason. lie was terribly bewil dered, of course, and had no idea of where he was. but after the shock of waking passed off he was as sane as ever. During the years his faculties were in suspense he sat most, of the tiuie;wilh his eyes closed, aud the con sequence, w'as that they were very sensitive' to light. He had to wear blue glasses for some time, but that seemed to be the only bad effect he suffered. Lieutenant Cady became an active business man,: and died in 3SS9 or 1S90. An autopsy might have given some clue to his long trance; but I believe none was held." New Orleans Times Democrat. TUe Pope '.Cole to Be Out. " ROME, June 11. The pope went to St. Peter's cathedral yesterday to par ticipato in the ceremony of veneration in the case of two Italian saints recently canonized. Thirty thousand people were present. He was borne on the sedia ses tetoria, surrounded by 20 cardinals and the papal court. . He seemed in good health and, -when giving the blessing to the pilgrims, rose from his seat biiakly as if he wished to reassure the cougre Kution regarding his condition. J'' Tornado In Illinois, SPRINGFIELD, Ills., June 31 A ter rific windstorm has passgd overplus sec tion. In Springfield a number of shade and fruit trees -were destroyed, and re ports from neighboring cities for a radi us of 40 miles show great damage done to fruit trees. At Petersburg and Athens several buildings, .were injured, and at the latter plaoe"4he'tower -of the electric light plant was .destroyed. The damage will aggregate thousands of dollars. WHEN GYPSIES WED. Half a dozen bright, new, glittering gypsy wagons were taken from a car riage maker's establishment on Seneca street last week and put in readiness for their summer journeyings. Their owners have ' been waiting until the sun had dried the country roads be fore they started out for the season. Several weeks ago they gave orders that their conveyances were to be ready as soon as the temperature was mild enough to make sleeping under the open sky fairly comfortable. The foliage bursting iuto leaf, the frogs singing their spring chorus in the creeks and marshes, and the delicious sunlight began to make city life un endurable to the roving tribe, so the horses, dogs, children, blankets and pans were prepared for an early flit ting and the new wagons were sent for. Perhaps you have thought, if you have thought about it at all. that gyp sies are content with any kind of a carriage, an old road wagon with a canvas top stretched over barrel hoops and staves answering the purpose of tener than anything else. Perhaps your knowledge of th-c way the Ro manies traverse the country is con fined to a dusty caravan filled with towsled headed women and children, drawn by a couple of lean and crippled horses, which you have seen dragging its way along the road on a hot day. mere are gypsies and their accou trements that answer to that descrip tion, nut there is another class, re moved from the other in the Romany social scale, which lives and travels very differently. Their -caravans are jftagnificent affairs, that is, if you like lots of bright color about yjour equip age. They are expensive, too. Those which left the Seneca street shop ranged from Jf.'SOO to ,$."i00 in price, and sometimes they cost as much as .$1,000. But the gypsy's wagon is his home for three-quarters of the year, at least. He would much prefer to spend money on its decoration than on a house, and its upholstering is of vastly more impor tance to him than furniture for an or dinary abode. The new wagons are high. It re quires a long step and a quick lurch under the top to gain the driver's seat; the women and children must clamber farther in to reach the place reserved for them. The trucks, . box, and top are painted with the gayest of gay colors, vermilion, yellow, bright blue and green being the favorite combina tions, and if the maker has sufficient artistic skill to blend these colors in some fantastic way he is liable to be patronized again. The covers are made of oilcloth, tightly closed in like a de livery wagon, and painted a clear vel low with trimmings of red and blue or else decorated with a picture on each side. Horses and dogs are the favor its subjects. The most expensive wagons are or namented with a great deal of cold- leaf, and the bands of the hubs are of plated sold, not silver and nickel, as ordinary persons use. The inside of the top is upholstered in gay colored chintz; if the exterior is yellow the in tenor win probably be a vivid red. There is usually one seat in front for tne nnver and his companion. The back of the box is arranged with a seat all around, with a small compart ment at the rear, where the bedding is kept. At night the beds are made by fitting boards on the seats in the back, covering them with blankets. If the gypsy is particularly prominent in his tribe he will probably have two wagons one to be used for a sleeping apartment and one for a living room, rurnisiied with a small stove. When a gypsy wants to get married ne noes not think about renting and rurnisning a house, and gas and water onis cause mm no uneasiness. All he vvmiiis or rue cnosen young woman ex pects is a good wagon, a team of strong horses, and a set of harness with perhaps a few dollars to buy pro visions before the first horse deal has been closed. One of the wagons that win go on the road this year was or dered by a young woman of consider able wealth and importance among the Romanies, for a wedding gift to a young couple in whom she is interest ed. Its price is just $500, and when it is completed the young man will bring his good horses and their new harness, and he and his bride will start out to spend the summer under sunny skies without a thought of care for the trou bling things which harass all the world but themselves. Buffalo Express. ' CLOGGED THE WHEELS. "That reminds me," laughed the sen ator, "of a claim that I was once in terested in. and when it had dragged along and finally looked as if it would fail, and finally it did fail before the controller, I carried it to the supreme court and got Joe Choate to come down and argue it for me. Well, the day that Choate made his argument the controller, of course, was present to represent the government, nnd Choate was firing away in his usual brilliant fashion and was making a strong, clear showing and claiming everything un der the sun for our side, when one of the justices Interrupted him. and asked; " 'If this claim is as clear as you argument and your brief would show, why has it come before this court?' " 'Why, your honor,' replied Choate, with all the suavity of manner of which he is possessed to an unusual degree, 'it has been brought before this hon orable body because,' and here he swept his eyes over the controller, 'a small header tack,' and he measured off on his finger an infinitesimally smaltspace, 'got into the wheels of government and clogged them ; henee ' " And the senator finished with a hearty laugh at the recollection of that claim and we laughed at him. " 'Did the court laugh?' asked I.- "No, but there was a suspicious t-nytehiug of faces and a restless move ment among theja-vh ich betrayed that the point was not lost upou them. Neither was the case lost' wound up the senator. Saturday Evening Post.
