Lewis H. Pahso.ns, United Slates
attorney for the northern district of Ala
bama, whose successor was appointed by
President Cleveland three weeks ago,
will, it is said, decline to surrender his
office at present. 1'ars.m, it is reported,
lias written a letter to President Cleveland
claiming that the President has no au
thority under the tenure of office act to
remove him, and that he cannot be forced
out before his eommis.-ion expires, except
by impeachment. It is astonishing how
tenaciously Republicans iu many instances
desire to serve u Democratic administra
tion, which according to leadiug Repub
lican lights is seuding the couutry to
ruin.
Skcuetary Hoice Smith is still giv
ing close attention to the irregularities in
the pension bureau. He intends to ascer
tain the number of pensions improperly
allowed under order number 164, which
Commissioner Raum issued and he re
Toked. A board of revision consisting
of especially men has been organized to j
draw from the admitted files as rapidly us !
may be practicable all cases allowed under i
section 2 of the act of June 27, 1890,
aggregating ovea 300,000, and to deter- j
mine whether tne allowances are in ac
cordance with law. The board will act
under the iir mediate supervision and di
rection of Commissioner Lochren, who will
give proper instructions as needed.
While the two New York factions
were wondering and declaring what Mr.
Cleveland would do in regard to appoint
ments in that State the President quietly
appointed Mr. Charles W. Dayton post
master of New York city, Mr. Dayton
was not an applicant for the position and
was as much surprised as anyone else at
his appointment. He is a Tammany
Democrat, having become a member of
that organization about two years ago.
He was opposed to Mr. Cleveland's nomi
nation, as many other good Democrats,
were, but after his nomination he sup
ported him warmly and worked hard for
his election. Probably neither faction
would have selected Mr. Dayton had the
choice been given to either of them, but
everyone, regardless of faction, testifies to
his personal worth and ability.
The Washington Punt gives an amus
ing instance of the mistakes which some
times happen in dispensing the offices.
It says:
"The lucky man in person came here
last fall and the object of his coming was
to secure a berth uuder the Harrison ad
ministration. He had been in the city
but a lew weeks when the blow fell and
the triumphant Democracy owned the
earth and the offices thereof. It was a
lung way homo and railroad fare is high,
i ut he was not disheartened. He took a
room in the suburbs, foreswore sack, lived
cleanly and transferred his affections to
the on-corning Clevelanders. Patience
is a great thing and virtue is its own re
ward. He has a paying place in the gov
ernment service which he will till for four
years. If at the end of that time the
wheel of fortune has turned aud Repub
licanism is once more on top, he will puiut
to his ardent partisanship of last fall and
endeavor to maintain his grip."
The St. Louis Glube-Di uiipcrat is a
Republican newspaper and a stalwart ofj
the sta.watts, but it is fair minded never
theless, iu some things. In a recent issue
it says :
"The Globe-Democrat declines to join
the ignoble army of partisan pirates who
are trying to make political capital for
the Republican party out of the present
financial stringency because it occurs
under a Democratic administration. We
yield to nouo in our dislike of Democracy
and Democratic presidents, but just at
present if we hail to choose between two
successive Democratic presidents and one
financial panic we would take the Demo
cratic presidents. Wecau all recover, iu
time and by fumigation, from a Demo
cratic president, but a financial crash
would leave behind it much distress from
which there would be no recovery. Let
us all stand together as good citizens, and
by hoping for the best do much to bring
the best about."'
The Trustees uf the University have
created a new department for the pur
pose of investigation and studying the
science and history 4' education, and also
if training young men to be teachers.
The new department is intended to ac
complish for teaching the same purposes
that are accomplished for the professions
of law, medicines, etc., by other depart
ments. Weaiegladto see this step
taken, because success in teaching
is as important and requires as
much care and preparation as
other professions. Professor E. A. Al
derman, of the State Normal and Indus
trial School for Girls, has been put in
charge of this normal department of the
University. A better selection could not
have been made. A native of the State,
he is one of the most progressive and ac
complished educators in the South, and
he will make his department a success,
By this step the University increases its
usefulness and puts itself more nearly in
touch with the common school system of
the State, of which it was the intention
of its founders that it should be the head.
TuE Federal court has decided that
the World's Fair caunoc be opened on
Sundays. The decision rests u the act
of Congress of April 29th, 1890, which
is construed as investing the General
Government with possessory control of
the Exposition grounds.
The act provides in the first place for
tho holding of the Exposition, then pro
vides for a board of commissioners and
authorizes them to accept such site as may
be selected aud offered on certain condi
tions. The grounds, it is held, weie
tendered to the government by the local
authorities and the tender being
on the one side and tho required amount
of capital stock being raised on the other,
which the court holds constitutes a com
plete trade and puts the government in
absolute occupation of the grouuds.
It is held as to the souvenir appropria
tion that Congress had a right to oouple
it with a condition, and that this right
was recognized by the acceptance of the
money, and also that all rules and regu
lations fixed by the local directory are
subject to modification by the national
commissioners.
This decision is not in line with that
of the State courts, but it will have to
stand, as the United States was not a
party to the proceedings in the latter.
Notice of appeal has been given and the
ease will be heard by the Supreme Court
at a day to be set by the court. Id the
mean time the gates of the Exposition
grounds will be opened on Sundays.
Governor McKinley was nomina
ted last week for a second term by the
convention adheres to the Republican
convention of Ohio without opposition.
The platform adopted by the convention
adheres to the Republican policy of grant
ing pensions, and condemns the unjust
and unfriendly policy policy of the Demo
crats in dealing with the old soldiers.
This means, if it means anything, the
Republicans favor fraudulent pensions
fraudulently obtained and fraudulently
paid, because they are the only kind of
pensions which the Democrats are un
friendly. The platform also opposes the
repeal the ten per cent, tax on State banks
of issue, preferring, it seems, the national
banking system, which has shown its
insecurity by many failures during the
past six months. The convention en
dorsed the the McKinley high tariff bill
as "the best exemplification of the princi
ple of protection and reciprocity that has
found expression in the statutes," and
favors amendments thereto in the further
interest of protection.
President Cleveland last week in
formed a representative of the United
Press that he intended to call an extra
session of Congress not earlier than the
fiist nor later than the fifteenth of Sep
tember, unless unexpected contingencies
should necessitate an earlier meeting. The
President further said:
"While there has no mystery nor se
crecy in regard to my intentions in this
The Yirgiuia lYpulists will have a
ticket iu the field this year, and for the
purpose of nominating it have called a
State convention to meet at Lynchburg on
August 3rd. This is just two weeks be
fore the Democratic convention will meet
at Richmond for the same purpose. The
basis of representation in the People's
party convention will be one delegate and
alternate from each precinct.
Thes- matters were determined at a
meeting of the State committee held at
Richmond la.-t week. The committee
held two lung ses-ions and discussions and
discussed the political situation iu the
State iuile freely. The executive com
mittee reported an address to the Virgin
ia voters which was adopted and will be
submitted to the State convention as a
basis for the party's platform. The pa
per is quite lotig and declares in favor of
free coinage of silver, equalization of
taxation, aud the repeal of the Anderson
MeCoriuick electoral law. The People's
party is s iid to be organized in tweuty
four counties, partially organized iu twen
ty more, and chairmen in ninety-six of
the oue hundred counties in tho State.
The present indications are that the Re
publicans will not put out a ticket this
fall.

THE MISCHIEF MAKER.
In nearly every community in Christ
tendom, and perhaps it is the same in
heathen countries, there i a little busy
body, known in common parlance, as
the mischief-maker. If he ever had a
conscience it has been seared by a hot
iron, or in some other manner, reduced
to insensibility. The only way he
handles truth is to compound one grain
of it with one hundred and fifty grains
of exaggeration. Most frequently, how
ever, he ignores truth altogether and
relys upon a distorted and wicked
imagination to construct his fabricilion.
His feet ar swift to run on missions of
evil and to sow discord among brethren
and friends. His eyes are always open
and his ears are attentive to everything
that he can, by perversion or otherwise
use to the disadvantage of his fellow
man. His chief delight is in concocting
stories that will cause a sensation in
society or a fuss between individuals. If
he finds that two persons are not on good
terms he is in his glory. He is ready to
fas the flame and widen the breach.
He knows they are already too far at
variance with each other to get together
and talk matters over in a reasonable,
amicable spirit, and ho imagines that no
matter how ridiculous and unfounded
his yarns may be, they will, under the
circumstances, have great weight. He
cres uot if the teuderest faaiily ties are
sundered, or the warmest friendships brok
en. He is callous and perfectly indifferent
as to results. His missions is strife, and
whatever will aid him in accomplishing
his mission, must be brought into requi
sition. He chuckles with delight over
the history of the past as it reveals to
him the fact that his brother mischief
makers have caused murders and a
numberless calamities in the world by
their secret whisperings and backbiting
tongues. Is it not strange that any man
can find pleasure iu such work? But no
oue who has been at all observant can
deny the fact that many such are
walkiug up and down the earth, and
that multitudes of the tragedies and
evils that afflict mankind emanate from
the characters. With the facts before
him, it behooves every good citizen to
believe no statement that he may hear
matter, I think it not amiss that the time
is at hand when their Representatives in j made about his fellowman, without first
Congress will he called upon to deal with
a fin auciul condition which is the only
menace to the country's welfare and pros
perity. It is well for the people to take
up tho subject for themselves aud arrive
at their own conclusion as to the merits
of the financial policy which obliges us
to purchase idle silver bullion with '.'old
j taken from our reserve. Ouu does not
need the eye of a financier to see that this
I gold thus siihstraeted from government
stock is eagerly seized by other nations
for the purpose of strengthening their
own credit at our expense."
"It does not need the art of a states
mau to detect the danger that awaits up
on the continuance of this operation.
Already the timidity of capital is painful
ly appaient and none of us can fail to see
that the fear and apprehension in mone
tary circles will ultimately bring suffering
to every humble homo in our land."
This state of things which Mr. Cleve
land deplores as being fraught with dan
ger is brought about by the effect of the
Sherman silver law, which virtually re
quires the government to purehaso silver
and pay for it in gold.
Id views of what Hood's Sarsaparilla
has done for others, is it not reasonable
reasonable that it will also be of benefit
to you?
throwing aside all prejudice, and making
the most thorough and painstaking in
vestigation. Wilson Mirror.
