Editor Stuckev of the Pollock Pema'ids has erupted in a new ahe. He has started the Byce. 'fHerabl" and is now aditor of both the Demands and the Herald. Bome of the papers that bowled Do loudly for a primary are now Sitowling because the primary is oping to be disappointing. They teant nobody but themselves to Sarticipate in the primary. Bro.

The lightning in the Post Office Department investigation is be ginning to strike about in places close to the throne. Beavers, who has given himself up volun tarily after the police seemed to be unable to get him, has had Postmaster General Payne sub poenaed to appear as a witness in his case, and the P. 1. (;. piromptiv repudiates the sulbpoena and refuses to appear, lie says he is sick, and llmuitt perfor;ce spend a few weeks down at Vir gainia Hot Springs to recuiperate,_ his health. lie probably knows too much of the doings of his private secretary, Mr. ii. 11. Rand, inl conlvection with Beave\rs and Machelien's industry in the grafting game in the Post OtIce department. and does not dt i're to be questioned under oath. In fact, he is doing all in hii power to stop the publicity of details of the Post Otlice Dep:art ment ýcandal, a nd now lihe gives ii. out that the end is in sight and thtt there will be nothing inure doing after the first of ()Ochucr. lie know, full well that there are too Imany inemllloers of C(' oress iand repti!licau leaders mixe ti up, in the matter who must protect the looters, and some of thent too imuch dread an investigation to allow the matter to proce:d fur ther. Such a competent machine p:,iitician as the P. M. G. knows thiat the republican party cannot st:an I such hard knocks as it has received by even a small part of the scandal thus cxposiing to tihe public view, an:d survive the treatluent. How the republicani party leaders are praying that somnething will turn up to distract the minds of the public from this nasty mess. See how the Beirut incident was seized upon to take the mindiis of the people from the scan tal croppi.ig out in tihe ad ministration of the affairs of government. The Panama Canal affair is also being used to get the minds of the people from the rottonness of the departments as -administered by the republican party, but all in vain. Those little incidents are but the won tier of an hour, and the minds of the people wander back to their muttons, the scandals in the de partments at Washington. Like Banquo's ghost, they will not (down, but return with perplexing persistency to plague an adminis tration that is rotten to the core. T'he.people have a specific for this cancer on the body politic if they will go to the polls and ad minister it. It is up to them. The Rev. Sam Jones has finally "met his match." He ran into a Georgia postma.ter the other day and got a lick in his mouth. The Rev. Sam landed one blow on the P. M. and his fist is not yet well. The Baton Rouge Advocate says: "Nail the first thief that tries to steal in Democratic pri maries, parochial, district or state." The State Experiment Station hab sent us a copy of a pamphlet on the boll weevil. He is an ugly looking bug. All superintendents of public education should be elected the same as other offioers.
