over a turtle that had my initials on

seen him for forty years, yet his step
was firm as ever and the mower passed
over him without the least harm.
When I met him in 1852 neither of us
had ever seen a mower work, and I
thought perhaps he had npt up to
this time. So I took him on and gave
him a ride which he did not seem to
relish and tried to get off but with my
foot I held Mm fast.

The foundation is about built for

work must be pushed very rapidly or
it will not be completed in time for
the opening of the schools.

MOEE "32IILL3."
We retret exceedingly that we are
again called upon to refute the state
ments made bv H. V. unite & Co.,
in the J I loom burr? Daily under date
the 14th inst.
We were surprised to note the
epistle signed by the Messrs. Mas-
teller. In their zeal to protect our
competitors from the just censure of
the public, they have made statements
that compel us to impesch their
veracity.
We most assuredly did not nav Mr.
Mastellcr $5.00 to haul the Deering
Binder to his place. We do not ped
dle our Bindeis about the country,
and in order to induce r. Mastellcr
to try our machine and should it
prove unsatisfactory we would ay
him $..00fr his trouble in return
ing the binder to our War louse,
and "we smile" when we think that
perhaps this opportunity to turn "an
honest $5.00" was the cause of our
machine failing "to carry sheaves
down hill, and to cut a full swath
when the horse was in the grain."
We did not say that we were "in
vited to leave the field" at this con
test ; what we said was : "When
Mr. Masteller expressed a desire to
test the merits of the two machines,
without the assistance of either agent,
we left the field."
Mr D. H. Masteller did express
this desire to me in the hearing of
Mr. M. K. Appleman.
As to the readjusting of our machine,
we have simply to say that if it be
comes necessary we will expose the
names of the two men who altered the
canvases on our machine, and to sub
stantiate our claim will submit the
testimony of eye witnesses.
We are sorry that Mr. Masteller
was obliged to pay ? 125 00 for the
"Johnston." when to our certain
knowledge they were offered in this
territory at $115.00.
In the case of the Jerseytown con
test, we should be pleased to learn
why the Johnston was ever driven into
the field if Mr. Zeisloft relused to
permit a contest ?"
We do not believe that Mr. Zeis
loft ever said that we had paid him
$5.00 to take our machine to his
place. We made the same offer to
him that we made to Mr. Masteller,
but as he kept the Deering, there was
no occasion for us to pay him the
is
We certainly did give Mr. Zeisloft a
Bale of Twine and a Truck.
The Truck is an unnecessary ad
junct to the Deering Binder with Folding
Platform, but in cases where our cus
tomers desire a truck, we most cheei
fully furnish it. The bale of twine
has been included in our liberal offer
to all customers this season.
"We smile" again as we note that
Mess. White & Co. understood our
allusion to the Summer Hill customer,
and as to "Mr. Creveling tugging
along a Famous Deering with three
horses, we refer the public to Mr.
Creveling who will doubtless tell
them what he knows about the tugging
operation.
We presume that the public has be
come disgusted with the argument of
this matter, and as we feel our inabili
ty, in a "war of words" to cope with
our competitor, so learned in Law;
we will not pursue the subject further.
If Mess. H. V. White & Co. desire
proof of any assertion we have made,
we shall be pleased to wait upon them
at our office.

WASHINGTON LETTEB
Washington, July 18,1892.
Mr. Harrison is finding out that the
candidate who attempts to run his
campaign according to his own will,
without regard to the opinion of all
the men who have been regarded as
party leaders, and to make every one
else connected with the campaign but
humble agents to carry out his orders
without asking questions or making
suggestions is a big contract. The
brainey men who go into politics will
not consent to become anv man's
lackeys. That is why Mr. Harrison
had so much trouble in getting a
chairman for the republican National
committee, and finally had to take
Carter, who was almost entirely nn
kown outside of Montana previous to
the Minneapolis convention, and was
probably willing to accept Mr. Harri
son's conditions.
Col Oates. chairman of the
House committee which went to
Homestead to investigate the labor
trouble at the Carnegie works, says
the committee will make a report the
latter part of this week of their vtsit to
Homestead. It is not positively
known what the nature of that report
will be, but it is believed that the
committee will take the ground that
the strike of Carnegie's men is not a
matter for Congressional interference,
and that it will ask for authority to
continue the investigation of the Pink
erton detective system during the
recess.
The report of the Pension Office
investigation, recommending Raum's
dismissal will be taken tit) in the
House this week, and if a quorum of
democrats can ue kept on the floor it
will be approved by the House.
Those who saw the purchase of a
site for a new Government Printing
Office postponed by the Fifty-first
Congress through the machinations of
that very expert lobbyist, ex-senator
Mahone, of Virginia, because the
committee on the selection of a sit
would not approve a piece of ground
owned by him.entirely unsuited for the
purpose, were somewhat surprised to
see same tactics succeed in accom
plishing another postponement for the
same reason, and still more surprised
to see such prominent democratic
Senators as Vest, ot Missouri, Butler
of South Carolina, and Blackburn, of
Kentucky acting in Mahone's interest
and getting the credit of having their
votes controlled by him. Senitor
Cameron, of Pennsyvania, has been
from the first one of Mahone's most
active agents on the floor of the Sen
ate, but that surprised no body, as he
is generally credited with keeping his
seat in the Senate for no other pur
pose then to look after legislation
affecting interests principally Wash
ington real estate in which he has
money invested.
Public opinion has upset one of the
corrupt bargains by which John C
New, secured the nomination of Mr.
Harrison at Minneapolis. The nom
ination of the negro, William I). Crum
to be Postmaster, at Charleston,
South Carolina, which he practically
admitted to the Senate postoftice
committee was given him as the price
of his vote for the nomination of Mr.
Harrison, has been withdrawn, be
cause republican members of that
committee told Mr. Harrison that
after Crum's statement and those of
other and more reputable witnesses
they would not vote for his confirma
tion. The South Carolina delegation
in Congrss did good work in bringing
out the fact in this disgraceful barter
and sale of such an imxrtant Federal
office, and not a few republican Sena
tors were glad of the exposure, al
though they did not care to make it
themselves.
Representative Bailey, of Texas,
has been looking up precedents con
cerning the drawing of salary for the
time they are absent by membrs of
Congress. He says that previous to
the war the law providing for a de
duction of pay when members were
absent from any other cause than sick
ness was strictly enforced, and he
dose not understand why it should
constantly be violated now. He
says one member of the present
House has drawn $7,000 in salary and
been present just three days, and he
thinks that is too high a rate of pay
for any Congressman.
Only three appropriation bills now
remain to be finally acted upon; unless
the numerous and costly Senate
amendments to the sundry civil bill
shall bring about a dead lock, Con
gress will adjourn within two weeks.
If this bill were disposed of it might
easily adjourn this week.
Senator Harris, of Tennessee, usu
ally the mildest of men, lost his temp
er Saturday and called Senator Sand
ers of Montana, blank scoundrel, be
cause of an obstructive amendment
the latter offered to local bill which
was in charge of the former. Lat
er there was an apology and the bad
language will not appear in the record.
A republican Senator who went to
see Mr. Harrison in the interest of one
of his constituents who he thinks
ought to have that vacancy on the
Supreme Court, told a friend that he
was satisfied that it was Mr. Harrison's
intention to keep the place open un
till after the election and then to give
it to Attorney-General Miller.

The Furnishing of Addresses by Postmaster.-
A firm writing to the First Assistant
Postmaster General in reference to
furnishing of addresses by Postmasters
receives the following reply :
Gentlemen: I have the honor to
acknowledge the receipt of your letter
of the J4th instant, in reference to
postmasters furnishing the addresses of
their patrons, to creditors and others
who are desirous of ascertaining their
whereabouts.
I have carefully considered your
communication, and find that the rule
of this Department, which has been in
force for many years, under the pro
visions of which postmasters are for
bidden to make public information
obtained by them in the dischaige of
their duties, is based upon the general
principle that "one of the highest obli
gations of the Department to the
people is to preserve, by all means in
its power, the absolute sancity of the
seal."
The postmaster is an agent of the
Government, and there is no relation
which the Government sustains to
wards the people of such high trust
and of such peculiar and confidential
character as in the transmission of
sealed communications.
The name of the person addressed is
written on the outside of the letter for
the single purpose of enabling the post
master to deliver it to the proper per
son. For any other purpose the post
master is presumed to have no know
ledge of the address. His knowledge
is confined to the discharge of his offi
cial duties. The privacy of the service
would be at an end if the postmaster
could be required to disclose the name
and address of his patrons, except
after due judicial proceedings shall
have been taken.
The patron of the post office furish
es the postmaster with his address for
one purpose only, that is, to secure
the delivery of his mail. It would be
an unwarranted act of the postmaster
to betray the confidence reposed in
him by furnishing the address to the
very person,(perhaps) whom the patron
desires to avoid. I think the question
of address lies between the parties
themselves, and that the postmaster
should not be called upon to interfere,
or in other words, perform detective
service for a creditor.
This rule cannot be considered by
you as a hardship, when you remem
ber that a letter addressed to a person
whom you desire to find will be deliv
ered to him, if his address be known,
and if the addressee of the letter wants
you to be advised of his whereabouts,
he will give you the information ; if
not, the postmaster must not furnish
it against his wishes.
I trust that you will not feel that the
view of the Department, as expressed
above, is arbitrary and have no doubt
that upon a moment's reflection, you
will agree with me that the address of
a patron is his own secret, to be made
public by him in his own way, and not
by an officer of the Government who
has executed an oath to protect his
secret, so far as the postmaster's official
duties are concerned.
Very respectfully,
S. A. WHITFIELD,
First Assistant Postmaster- General.
