From our Etgular Correspondent. The grand jury at Wash ington continues to find in dictments against officials of the Postofflce Departmfnt. The latest is against W. S. Towers, bead of one of tne ciry substations. He is a ecus ed of taking a commission on type writer books sold by a private company to the gov ernment. It is said that he re ceivpd $50 on every $200 for each of these, and that his fees amounted to I$,800. He has been dismissed by the Postmaster General, and is now awaiting trial. The re publicans are afraid of the political effects of the. Post office scandals and their mem bers in Congress are now clamoring for a congression al investigation of the entire department. Tbe.v state open ly that their purpose is to forestall the democrats and preyent their making a polit ical issue out of these eviden ces of republican mal-ad min istration. It is said that the President wishes to name theinvestigating committee, which he hopes will be au thorized bj Congress. The re publicans have adopted the same tactics with reference to the Indian scandals, as a committee from both House and Senate will go to the Ter ritory to make an offi-ial re poit of the state of affairs. President Roosevelt's stand on the question of Foreman Miller of the Government Printing office and on the "open shop'' in Government employment, continues to re ceive the attention of politi cians and laboring men. In spite of the caustic and cnu tiousnnd conservative state merit of the executive council oi the American Federation of Labor, there are indica tions that many labor un ions will join issue with Mr. Roosevelt and will show their disapprobation at tne polls. The President held a con ference last Tuesday with the labor leaders and many sub jects were discussed. On the Miller question, however, there seems to have been but slight discussion as the Pres ident simply iuformpd the lenders of his decision. In the statement issued immediate ly following the conference, the President declared that Miller should remain n n d that no discrimination could be made between union and non-union labor in choosing employes of the government. He added that the law de manded this and that the fact of a man's being a mem ber of a union could no more be allowed to tell against him than the fact that lie was a Catholic or Protestant. Jew or Gentile, white or col ored. The Executive Council of the Federation of Labor made no criticism of the President's statement, but the following daj thy issued annddnssto organized la bor of the country in which they "stated positively that the unions would contend for the principles of union shops. The radical men in the A lU'Tir.'K! !''!; 'i a r ' flu v intend to bring up the qness tion at the coming annual convention of the Federation in Boston on Nov. 8. They declare that if the President is-a-frieml of labor and ex pects the laborers vote he must make the same disrrim motion between union and non union labor as he daily makes between republicans and democrats. They argue that the labor unions must defend their interests against the government the same as against a private employer. The labor unions throughout the country continue to pass resolutions condemning the action of the Administra tion and they seem determin ed that the President's state tneut shall not end the con-, troversy. Our government is about to establish trade relations with Abissinia. Mr. Robert P. Skinner, our consul general at Marseilles, is now in Wash ington completing prepara tions for his coming visit to King Monelik, whom he will invite to the St. Louis Expo sition, at the same time urg ing him to, make a commer cial agreement with the United States. Mr. Skinner has seen the President and re ceived from him a message of profound consideration t o the African monarch. He will he taken to the nearest port in an American warship and will have an escort of United States marines on his long journey overland before reach ing Monelik's capital. The press of Europe sees in this expedition an attempt on our part to establish a foot ing in Africa, but Mr. Skinner has very businesslike inten tions Over one third of all the imports ot Abisinia are from this country and every year we sell Monelik's people over $5,000,000 worth of cot ton goodn; at the same time we get from them ivory, hides, carpet wools and other raw materials. This expedition is ridiculed bp some who sug gest that instead of going to Africa we should turn our at tention to South America where the Germans are mak ing rapid progress against their American and English competitors. His many friends in Wash ington and elsewhere deeply regret the death cf Sir Micha el Herbert, the British ambas sador to the United States. He died last Wednesday in Switzerland, tvhere he had gone hoping to be cured of tuberculosis' which was the cause of his death. He was ambassador to this country only a few months but was Wfll known in Washington w here he former! v served us fharged'affairs and as secre tary of the legation. His wife is an American and he had many personal friends in this country, among thtn Presi dent Roosevelt whom he had known for many years. He was very fond of telling how the President taught him to play baseball. His most im portant work here was the settling of the liffi-ulties in volved in the attack of Kng l"tii ati'l hr filli' -.'nVcnezu !!. :.'!! ; I.' : Hon O f : v bv ,. ;. ii !: ; Ke rii. X. -.I.", !.' :.:!. - t ...,- mission was created. The for eign office in London has not yet considered who is to suc ceed him. President Roosevelt is much unnoyed at the continued quarrels of the republicans in Delaware. After the confer ence with Senators Ailee and Ball, the leaders of the oppo sing factions, he made it plain that if they could not agree on questions concern ing their State, he would have to take action that would be disagreable to both of them. The present matter ofdis pute, is the selection of a Uni ted States Attorney to suc ceed W. M. Byrne. THE GENUINE VS. COUNTEKKEITS, The genuine is always better than a counterfeit, but the truth of this statement is never more forcibly re alized or more thoroughly apprecia ted than when you compare the gennine DeWitt s Witch Hazel Salve with many counterfeits and worthless substiutcs that are on the market. W. S. Ledbettcr, of Shreve port. La,, says: "After using numer ous other remedies without benefit one box of I)c Witt's. Witch Hazel Salve cured me." For blind, bleed ing, itching and protruding piles no remedy is oqiml to DeWitt'b Witch Flozel Salve. Sold by Phickburn. Coming down to the heart of the matter there rs no difference between turning out a postmis tress because she was obnoxious to a political faction and turn ing out a non-union man be cause he is obnoxious to a labor imion. The two things are on all fours. Neither the color ot one's political hair nor the ownership of u union label should have any thing to do with the service of the people in the non-political of fices ol the Government. Ex. A PUHGATIVE PLICAsURE. If you ever took De Witt's Little Early Risers for biliousness or con stipation you know what a purga tive pleasnre is. These famous little pills cle::nse the liver and nd the system of all bile without producing unpleasant effects. They do not gripe, sicken or weaken, but give tone and strength to thetigsucs and organs involved. W. II, Howell of Houston. Texas, says: ''Nonettei pill can be used than Little Early Risers for consttpatioil , sick head ache, etc. Sold by Rhckbutn. Those employees of the Van- derbilt estate at Biltmore, who, it is alleged, stole $9,000 from their millionaire employer, were excadiiigly modest in view of the amount available. It is fash ionable nowadays to tuke at least half ol the total visible sup ply, and these fellows didn't take even enough to be missed .-Cleveland Star. DISTRESS AFTKR EATING CI" H ED, Judge W. t. Holland, of Greens burg, La., who is well and favora blyknown, says: ':rwo years ago r suffered greatly from indigestion. After eating, great distress would in variably result, lading for an hour or so, and my nights are restle.su. I concluded to try Kodol Dyspepsia Cure and it cured meenliily.

A.seeville Citizen . While the President in the statement of his decision in the Miller case did not say thatno discrimination should be made in the ''employment or dismissal of men iu the Government service" because of their political affiliations, he did not imply that such discrimination shoulJ not be made because of "social con ditions,' or "creed or color," He admits that personal unfitness was a matter "to be settled in the routine of administrative detail." Char tty compels us to presume that he intends it shall be the duty of somebody, though not himself, to pass on em ployes' personal fitness, and to discharge the unfit. This in preachment, inprnc tice, how many appoint ments has t he President made because of political fitness, when the cannidates were re ally personally unfit? Woulld a business corpoin tion, for instance, put a man in charge of a position or of fice where he roust come in contact with the public, if that, man was personally ob jectionable and obnoxious to the patrons of the place? Would that fact be .consider ed in connection with his per sonal fitness? Most certainly Yet was that element of per sonal fitness considered bv the President in his dealings with the Indianola postmas terebip? Or the Charleston Custom House? It is hardly to be presumed that others could not have been found for those posi tions whose personal fitness could not be brought into question, and who wereeqiial ly as capable of looking af ter the government's inter ests; which at last is suppos ed to be the central object in making the appointments. This is equally as true of those vacation appoint merits of persons whom the Senate refused to confirm while in session. Isn't such appoint ments violative of the spirit of the Constitution which says that such appointments should be made with the ad vice and consent of the Sen ate? The President's principles will not permit him to dis criminate in favor of union men against non-union men, but they do not permit him to discrirninateaguinst white democrats in favor of negro republicans. This may be good politics, but it is migh ty hard on the principles. There is far more reason for discrimination between the white mm and the negro, so far as the political prefer ment goes. For the tree of our national a n d political life sprang from the seed of the white) man. Th negro as we all know, is a hybrid, and was "grafted" onto the tree during the "winter of our dis. content." The fruit produced by the 8ion or grafted branch :na.v be inferior orsuperior to that of the natural branches', but its seeds will not. re produce th tive From uh:'i) it r.'i w.- the best fruit on the natural branches of the parent tree, if the purity ofthestrain is to be preserved. Should the negro, the Indian, tho Chinaman, the Malay or anv other r a c e of people be injected in largenmn bers into our political life, its character would, of course, have to accommodate itself to the change But do wo want that sort of a change?
