The letter earners in the employ of the federal government have nv, ived no rai-e in their pay for forty year. In that period wajie- in many other crafts have doubled and the cost of living ha been correspondingly incr. aed in alino-t every walk of life. A mmniittee repre senting the letter carriers' association have waited upon Postuia-ter-On ral t'ortelyou and presented their case ask ing that pay commensurate with re quirements be "ranted. A carrier's pay in a cheap community is not good in Astoria. It is the chief criticism nf the system, as it i- of ahno-t every other branch of federal employ, that the men in the cheapest community f:et ju-t as much as those in the dearet. just as in the army the entire service changing underwear by the calendar leaving troops in Aht-kan po-ts to shiver, and in Arizona to -weat a 'ooi portion of the vear. HURRYING TO DISHONOR. An article recently piihli-h-d in the Denver Republican voi.-e the -i-nt intents of a larje nuinher of people and rill no doubt meet with the approval of many readers of the Astorian. "It used to be the new -mad - million aire from the west who made the r-'ovv paced world take note of i-wift doings. The east came to look upon him as a type of the rapid climber whose aRcr-nt had made him dizzy and whose dizziness ent him into reckles-ness, fast living and fast spending. He was supposed to be strictly a product of the west, where opportunities were large. If late the boom in stocks has given the east a set of new-made millionaires and taught it that people are very much alike the world around. " The west has seen many a good man mined by too much money to easily and too quickly secured. The east is see ing the same things these days. The troubles of the Corey family are being aired. When the fight for existence was on, when husband and wife were meas uring the little weekly stipend to the household nece-sities, facing the world and fighting its battles together, they were happy in the company and love of each other. The sttVboom made them millions and their troubles began. Then? was too much money. Thev had climbed ! too fast. The newly acquired riches could not be digested. The husband could not stand the test of fate. He grew dizzy and must break away from his old hab its and take to doing things he hud never done before. The money was to pi-nd and his old modes of life would not use it up fast enough. He had to find more ways, and was to find later from bitter experience that the ways that lead awav from contentment, from simple living. are the harmful ones that ai strewn with the wrecked hulks of honorable manhood. "It is the sighing for the height-, the heart burnings and longing- for great wealth and the things of vanity it. will bring that make most of the unhiippi ness of the world. Hp wiio is content with the decent, the quiet, the well-ordered life, plain food and plain clothing, comfortable housing, clean and decent living, is ever able to secure all that with his labor will bring him has the i PENSIONING SOLDIERS.

IMPORTANCE OF REGISTERING. Only about one-half of tie- Republican- of Chit-op county have rcgi-ten-d, although the country precinct- are showing up. the deficiency being in th" citv. The importance of every voter registering should b" con-idcied by every voter. L nder the direct primarv l.tw all voters who do not lvgi-ter hi'fore April lOt Ii. cannot partieijiatc in the nomination of the ticket. Wry few Democrats are registering, as it is the intention of the party managers to nom inate a ticket by an assembly of voters, which consi-t. of 100. A large majority of those who have registered have de clared their principles to be Republican, while not a few Republicans who have registered have declined to state their party affiliations. Ro Republican who register, and does not state his politic can vote at the primaries, hence it is important that every Republican should state his politics. 1 he nomination of party candidates has been taken from the ii.ual convention and placed entirely in the hands of tin- people, and it is im portant that they .hould participate to the end that a strVmg ticket be nomi- nated. Heretofore there has always been con siderable dissati-faction resultin!' from the selections in Republican conventions the idea prevailing that they were mani pulated in the interest of a ring, and there ha. often been considerable truth in the assertion.. The votci-- oppose to what was termed "ring rule," sw ceeded in having the direct primary law enacted, taking the selection of can didates away from conventions and placing it in the hands of the people. The success of this law depends upon what use i. made of if by the voters. They have an opportunity of selecting men for the various positions and it is their duly to avail themselves of the opportunity. They have the chance of relegating political conventions and po litical bosses to the rear, with the sole power of selecting their own candidates. Instead of a convention of one hundred members nominating a ticket, the con vention is now composed of two thou sand men distributed through the var- Tbtr Arm a Separate IVupIr, Trlb Hnlfr l) ihnnieltra. "Slieli us wake on the night and nlevp ou the day ami haunt taverns and nk bouses ati'I no miiii wot from whence they come nor whither t ; y go." Sc, quaintly describes an old KtiKlish stat Ute against the gypsies. Ever Kimy thf year I'M), says n writer In the Imdoti Standard, Ureal Britain has tried to get rid of this strange people without ill'- procialde Huceiss. Every year or hc some county is up in arms ngaliiKt them, yet they persist In returning ami apparently thrive under persecution. The gypsies are popularly supposed to come originally from Kgypt, as their name indicates, but their origin Is trac ed farther east than the land of the Nile. Wherever they come from, they are a neparate people, a tribe quite by themselves. They appeared in England aboul 1505, and twenty-six years later Henry Mil. ordered them to leave the coun try In sixteen dayn, taking till their gooua with them. "An outlandish peo ple, ' he called them. The net was In effectual, and In 1502 Elizabeth framed a still more stringent law, and many were hanged. "But what numbers were executed,' says one old writer, "yet notwlth standing, all would not prevalle, but they wandered an before, urine and downe." They got into Scotland and became an Intolerable nuisance. Both In that country and in England letrlsla tlon proved quite ineffectual. The act gradually fell into desuetude, fndei George IV. nil thr.t was left of the bar against the gypsies was the mild law that any person ' telling fortune shall be deemed a rogue and a vagabond." "Gypsies ore no longer a proscribed class," stiy.; a recent writer. "Probably the modern gypsy does little evil be yond bcKging and petty theft, but blf determiiiMti .ii n-it to work is as stronu as ever, a H It seems curious that an Indtistri.".! people bke ours continues to tolerate a horde of professional Idlers." How numerous the horde is mav be gathered from ihe fact that the number who wintered Iti Surrey one year was estimated at 10,(j.;0. The language as well as the life of the gypsy tribe has a tenacity of its own. Many of their words have taken firm hold in a half slang, hulf permis sibly way. Shaver Is the gypsy word for child, ral is pure gypsy. Coduer means a man. Cutting un Is srvnsv for quarreling, and cove stands for "that fellow." NEW ORK.
