From our Regular Correspondent. President Roosexelt has been baffled in hii attempt to override the wishes of the entire white popoulation of Charleston, S. C, and disre gard the wishes of the Senate by appointing "Dr." Curiu, colored, to the position of collector of the port of I hut city. It will be remembered that the Presideit twice sent theCrum nomination to the Senate and the Senate ns of ten failed to confirm it, in One instance practically vo ting to report on it unfavoi- a - r . , m m ably. Alter the senate ad- ourned Mr. Roosevelt, up- pointed Cfum as a recess ap- )Ointment but uow the treus ury department refuses to al ow mm any lees on nip ground that he has been ille gaily appointed, n conten tion clearly upheld by an ex licit law, The only h o p e which Crum can entertain of receiving pay for the time he ias served is through a spe ial act of Congress which is regarded as most remote. If the Senate will confirm him next winter he can draw his ees from the date of such con firraation, but there is no more reason to anticipate that the Senate will confirm him in the future than there was when he was first nomi inated. Consternation has been a roused in t he Postoffice De partment by a warning giv en to a colored carrier on a rural delivery route running out of Gallatin, Tenn. to the effect that no colored man can carry the mails, Thepres ent incumbent. John C. All- ood, is the second carrier on the route which was estab lished March 1, the first hav ing resigued, it is presumed, because of a similar warning. The route has been discon tinned pending an investiga tion. Allgood was appoint ed by a provision of the Civil Service law which leaves no discretion with the postal au thorities. In this connection, a report has reached Wash ington to the effect that no negroes are to be permitted to handle the mail in the South and it is feared that much trouble will ensue. Rep resentative Gaines, who is now in Washington, gaye un explanation oitho situation to your correspondent. Mr. Gaines said there was no de nying that the Southern peo pie objected to colored mail A I carriers oecause may were colored, but the objection rose from fear. In the rural districts the headsof thefam ily and all grown males were obliged to go out into the fields to work and leave the women at home defenseless. Because of the nameless crimes of the negroes they could not but regard with a p prehension the proBpect of negro mail carriers coming to their homes in their ab sence, especially since the pol icy of the present adminis trution had stirred upthebit terest animosity between the races, and Mr. Roosevelt's attitude hud encouraged ma ny negroes to cherish hopts of social equulity and misce genation.' Mr. Gaines said the Southern people were tax ing themselves to the utmost to educate the negro but their work were being nulli fied by people who, lor parti san reasons, misrepresented the facts while they were ut terl.r ignorant of the true conditions. Another sensational devel opment has just taken place in the Postoffice scandals. A. W. Ma'hen. general superin tendent of the division offree duliverv, has been suspended penning 1 he conclusion of the investigation,, the division has been transferred to the Utirenu presided ever by the Fourth Assistant Postmas ter General Bristow and Mr. M C. Fosnes, Postoffice In spector has besn appointed ncting superintendent of the division. Mr.Fosner.it will be remembered, was appoin ted head of the Cuban postal service after the notorious mal administration of Estes G. Rathborw, There no long er remains any doubt that irregularities ot the gravettt proportions have been dis covered by Mr. Brietow, but it is also known that many prominent politicians are im plicated and it is a matter of gravest doubt if Mr. Bristows report will ever reach the public. If it docs a story of corruption involvingsome o the most respected officials who have been ronnectet with the government will be revealed. Mr. Seymour W Tulloch has made public the interview embodying grave chorees, nmoncr them the fact that Mr. Thomas VV Gi mer, a special expert f the comptroller's division of the Treasury, was at one time detailvd to make an investi gation into the Postoffice af fairs but was distinctly or dered not to probe the af fairs of the Washington aw: the New York otticesand that although Gilmer obeyed or ders he learned so much tha he was discharged on the ex press order of then Assist ant Secretary of the Treasu ry Vand.'rlip. Thus far, the Postmaster General has re fused to make public the let ters from several officials to whom he wrote asking for in formation reirardinn Tnl- loch's charges and which Tu loch claims must confirm his statements. Another srheme for delu ding and probably defraud ing negroes, an evident out growth of the Hanna ex slave pension bill, has just cometo light. It is a circular issued by the "executive committee of the Civil Liberty Party." The circular begs assistance in destroying partisan sla very among the negroes, in securing the passage of the Hanna bill und requests the appointment of ielt gates to attend a mammoth conven tion of negroes to be held in Cincinnati next May. Senator Foraker has been attending some time in Wash ington recently and it is learned that there is pros pect of a vigorous fight be tween the Foraker followers and the Hanna supporters in the Ohio Statel'opvention to be held next month Sena- or toraker has drafted a lank for the State platform endorsing Mr. Roosevelt's ad ministration and urging him or the nomination n e x t year, me Hanna contingent is understood to oppose the lank. They do not admit that their leuder is n candi date but thejcbiiui it is too endorse any one and that here will be a plenty of time ater on. Mr. Hanna s intlu ence among southern reptibli cans is well known. Of late le has missed no opportusi- y to pose ns the workman's riend, and it is possible that ic may at the last moment avoid the fight which Sena tor Foraker is preparing for dm hut in any event, unless le absolutely defeats Mr. For aker and the proposed plank, le will come out of the con vention with seriously mar red Presidential prospects.

This is a sad world f o those who have no humor in their mak'-np. Farm Notes. Editor Demon a t: As the warm wmlher ap proaches "the man who by the plow would thrive" must get a hustle on him. During the winter he should have mapped out his summer's work and know exactly where tD take hold und what to do. There is lots that can be done in winter and early spring, such as grubbing. fMi,ingi pruning trees and even ditch ing and of course those things should Oe done then but there are any numlnr of farm ers who put off s-.n-h things until planting time a.id then they are rushed to death. Farm labor is getting so scarce in this country that if we put iff too much work in winter we are apt to fall short of the spring. We ?ii nst Im rn to relj on our own efforts more for in a few years there will be no labor to be had. Dili yon ev. er think what is now causing our scarcity of labor? Why prosperity, most assuredly. Miw most eyery man owns land and works hiso.vn farm and does not h ive to work for his neighbor. That's right and is as it should be, and I am glad to see it much bet ter state of affairs than in most European countries, where the land is owned by few nn i worked by the teem ing millions. In those coun trips the landlord lives like a prince while the starving peasant upon whose brawn he is enabled to roll in mag nificence and splendor is re duced to rags and absolute ignorance. I say ignorance advisedly, for some years a- go 1 was talking to a Scotch man of the peasant class a- bout his ownconntry thegov ernm'iit of it and ilsci vil and military officers all of which he knew absolutely nothing about. He could tell me some thing of the sheep on the Grampian Hills and there his knowledge stopped. INo rural population on earth is so enlightened as the farmers of the United States. In the old countries it is to the advantage of the land lo"d to keep his tenant as ig norant as possible on all qus tions that does not pertain to his daily drudgery. Look for a moment at poor Ire landl Hers is tfi most im posed upon peasantry of all countries, even Russia n o t excepted. It is true the Irish man may call his king a " b I a t h e r s k i t e" a n d y ell d o w n with the government" with out banishment to Siberia or anywhere else, but in every thing else the Russian has the ad vantage of him. Th whole of Ireland is owned oy less men than live in your lit ;le town of Boon'' yes, far less. These men have certain rules and restrictions under which the poor peasant mu-r work or starve. lie can't leave one landlord becau e he cannot bear the burden heaped Upon him and go to' I ailoth'M' and get bet ter term ; j thpv ill hivpthe vvrv u., mey till nie IIH. er.V s.l.lM . contract for the poor b'l!o to sign and be ran "f 1 siyn it, get out of trv Or Ktai ve.
