All the miners in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, illinois, Indiana. Kaneas and Missouri are preparing for a strike. It will be about the largest strike our country has known. The street car operatives of Hous- ton, Texas, took a notion to strike while the people were out in the sub- urbs attending 4th of July celebrations and base-ball games, had to walk back w town. That recal’s to mind a_similar strike at Galveston during the meeting of the Nutional Editorial Association ,when the editors had to sliow what’ good walkers they were. , The populace eemeeeed The August Election, The County Commissioners at their present meeting appointed poll holders. and registrars in the difteren\ townships ‘to hold the locai taxation election on the 10th of August.

PSEA: One Member D ecinee—Vacancy Fill ead—Supervisor Elsctea. On the first: Monday in June a Board of Education consisting of A. Ward, F. Ward and Allen Johnston was elected. ‘These were to qualify and enter upon their duties the first Mon- dayin July. Instead of appearing to qualify, ene of the members elect, Allen Johnson, wrote a letter io the Chairman of the Board of Commis. sivners declining to accept the office. When the last Legislature was crea~ ting offices and making laws to govern the same, it did not seem to anticipate that anybody felling heir to one ot the offices would do such a thing as decline it, and made no provision to meet such emergency, So this action of Mr. Joinston caused some contusion as to just wha course to pursue. perintendent Mebane was tclegraphed to for insiructions, but his office being cjosed on account of holiday no answer came from him, . Finally it was concluded to have a joint meeting of the County Commis- sioners, Clerk of Superior Coury and Register of Deeds, and hold another election to fill the vacancy. This was done in tie afternoon and wien the ballot was taken three votes, all that wele cast, were for Jesse Cannon. Commissioner Thompson and Register ot Deeds erkins declined to vote. After this election the three members of the Board of Education qualified and hela a joint session with the Reg- ister ct Deeds and Clerk of Superior Court to elect a Supervisor. Thirty- three ballots were taken before any choice was reached. J. R. Tingle was finally elected.

Washington, Ju'y 38—While -gome of the office seekers are roundly abusing the President for not making appointments with more rapidity, they should remember that itis Mark Hanna and not Major McKinley, who is dishing out the patronage. Presi- dent McKinley isreally too much engrossed on his message recom- mending financial legislation tn. conformity with pledges made at St. Louis. And then again a good deal of his time is necessarily taken up by Senators and mem- bers who believe their recom- merdaiions will have more weight through the President than with Mark Hanna direct. Bat it is not to Presidential ap pointments that [ desire to cal! attention, but to the fact that, there is one official of this sdmin- istratiou who while sawing wood and saying nothing, is making a a great record for himself. He is none other than, Fourth Assistan' Postmaster General Bristow, better kuown as the official head- man. Bristow has charge ot the foarth class postmasters of which there are some sixty and odd thousand throughout the country He has only been in cflice a little over three months, but during that period he bas not been idle. Democratic postmasters have been decapitated with such swift ness and precision that it stag- gers one to keep count. A friend of the official headsman said today that it was his ambition to beat the record of all his prede- cessors. And it must be said Bristow is in a fair way to do it. The firet official heademan to attract attention to himself was ex Vice President Adelzide E Stevenson. During Cleyeland’s admipistration General f&teven- son had charge of tue fourth class postmasters and he didn’t do a thing to the Republicans. Where ever he sawa Republican fourth class postmaster’s head he swung his Democratic axe after the fashion of Jackson. And the Demovrats thorcughout the country spplauded his action. And thus it was that Steyenson endeared himself to the party. Had he been in Cleveland’s place there is no question but that the Democrats would be in power today. With the advent of the Harrison administration Gep. Clarkson assumed the position of headsman, and in the matter of decapitating Democratic post- masters he beat Stevenson's record by nearly 1,000. Then came Maxwell from New York, He was a silent man; he said very little. I think he must have aged two axes, for he outdid both his predecessors in the number of removals.

The Seed Industry. Daring the past spring, over twenty willion packages of flower and field seed have been distri- bated by the Agricultural De- partment. This distribution ot seed has givento each member of Congress 40,000 packages of geed, at atotai cost of $130,000. Over a million of these seed pckages were flower seed, ap distribution, nearly eyery variety of vegetable known to the agri- culturists was distributed. There wore thirty-two varities cf beans ten of beets, twenty-three of cab- bage, eleven of carrots, nineteen of sweet corn, eighteen of cucum- bers, thirty of lettuce, nineteen of muskmelons, seventeen of watermelons,and fifteen of ovions. the entire quantity of seeds distributed was sufficient to plant au area of 355 square miles. This is the largest distribution of s:ed ever attempied by the Agricultural Departmen’, and it is said tLat seedsmen all over the country are complaining that they do not make sales to farm- rrs and otbers, because the latter are getting all the seed they need from the department. The dis tribution of seed in 1893 amount- ed to 8,800 packages for each member of Congress, at a total cost cf $66,548; in 1894 each congressman got 16,000 packages the entire cost tothe government being $57,000; in 1895 the number of packages of seeds was the Same a8 in'*he precediug year, but the totel cost was reduced to $47,000. In 1896 the congress- men got 15,000 packages each, and Uncle Sam paid $80,000 for the lot. These statistics will give some idea of the enormous ex- penditure ofthe government,seeds being only a very small item. A Household Necessity.
