SUPPLEMENT. Wanamaker'a Idea. The Sew York World reporter intervit wed Postnuistrr-General Wtnamakar tbe olber day and daring ibe course ol bis remarks be made these splendid and practioal ir!es: "We bare exUuded the special-delivery ytein end I have got en appropriation ol $10,000 iuto tbe General Deficiency bill by which I hope to make some farther experi ment in thii matter. I hope to tee the lime wben every Inrmer will bave nil mail drop, ned at bin door and every village will bave Ha special delivery. Ten thousand doll art seem a small amount to experiment with, but I ahonld probably bave got nothing if I bad asked for more. My idea ia to take me village of aay five hundred people and to give tbe postmaster 1 100 a year if be will have one of bii elerks make one delivery throughout the town each day, I have no doubt that tbia can be done for tbat amount and I want to try it. Another idea ol mine ia to make the country school teach' era mail agent. I will bave the postmasters nf (bene acbool districts send toe mail for tbe fKDjilif represented in tbe acbobl to these teachers, and will pay them something to give out Ibe letter and papers onse a day to tbe scholar! to carry them borne to their families. It seema to me tbat tbe postal facilities of tbii country might be very much increased in tbia way.' A Railroad Accident. ATacoma dispatch of Kept. 2d, says: Liter particular received (mm tbe acci dent on tbe Northern Pacifie last night Mate that the accident occurred five miles this nide of Hot Spring. Tbe train was speeding along eastward bound al a lively rote, when tbe passengers in tbe rear car hit a jsr and on going out tbey found two tleeer and the dining oar on the track aud six forward cart derailed. Tbe engines dad broken loose from tbe train and were landing on tbe track a short distance ahead. Tbe derailed care were badly de molished. Tbe smoking ear collided with a tree which was forced into the middle of tbe oar. The tonrist sleeper and one day car were liadly broken. . Ben Yonng, base Imll umpire was killed, and J. D. Kepler, railroad contractor, ol Bed Bluff, fatally in jured. Several other passengers were se verely injured. Tbe wounded passengers were brought back to tbia city, and are now in the hospital. Tbe accident was cansed by a broken rail. Good Reasons for Defeat. Alexander McClare, in a recent Striking editorial in tbe Philadelphia Times, says that Senator Delamater will be defeated by ex-Governor Pattitoa by not leu than 50,000. Hesayatbe came wbicb makes Pennsylvania against Delamater are not chiefly local, while bis senatorial record is unsavory to tbe now aroused farming, min ing and industrial interests generally. De moralization nnder the violent policy of party leaders ia congress and tbe pros titution of protection to wanton, wicked taxes on labor, to gratify banded greed, have broken the hitherto (impregnable labor lines of organization, and there is revolu tion in the sir. Quick Work.' It does not take long in California to con vict oriminals, as the following Cottonwood dispatch of the 3d, shows: "The three men who wrecked the south bound Oregon express on tbe 29th of last month, one mile north of Vina, and cap tured in Cottonwood Sunday afternooon by Kka.iiv v ,.i rVtnctitiU Birmingham, of Red Bluff, were taken in custody and positively identified as the parties who were wanted. They were tried before tbe super ior judge ol Tehama county to day and were sentenced to five years imprisonment in San Qoentin. According to the quotation yesterday, tars the Eaat Oregon ian, graia sacks coat the farmers sight and eoe-hall eenta each. When they boy them tbey ought to res ber tbat tbe tariff tat then is forty pec cent. That is, with! thlai tai they ought to buy tbem for m five tad half cent each. They should alw know and note dem ia tiieir boti3 xoewiocaiwoa back the other fact tbat this Ui is maintained not in the interests of producers, nor laborers, but of a Monopoly wbicb absorbs all IJ immense prott made oat of the farmers ny bis overcharge. How sny fanner can vote for a high tariff tax is beyond com pre tension. Tbe late Cardinal Newman was the suthor of one of the most beautifuf bymns in the English language, "Lead, Kindly Light," which is sung in every Christian church in England and America, and wherever our mother tongue is spoken. It was written about the year 1830, when tbe author was in tbe deepest gloom and the greatest uncer tainty as to his course as a Christian. Not withstanding the universality of its use, it is stated tbat the cardinal informed a writer on the London Times shortly before bia death that he bad never heard his hymn song. Dictionaries.
