Thc following speech was de livered by Hon. W. Jaspor Talbert, of South Carolina, recently in Con gress, whilo that body had under consideration a bill to classify the rural froo delivery service and fix the compensation to employees thereof : As tho gentleman who has just taken his seat has so eloquently said, tho establishment of the system of free rural delivery is intended pri marily and to bo maintained after wards in tho interests of tho great farming class of tins country in com mon with all others living in tho country, that class and'that industry which is tho foundation stono of all happiness, of all greatness, and of all prosperity ; and from tho time that I first entered this House in the Fifty-third Congress I havo been an ardent supporter of this free rural delivey system in tho interests of that largo class of people who are only recognized, so to speak, by this government, by the auditor, and the tax collector once a year and some times oftener. It is singular and strange to mo that whenever a system is evolved and put into operation here which tends to elevate and to upbuild that class, to make country lifo more desirable, to diffuse general knowl edge and intelligence throughout the country amongst tho great mass of tho people-people who aro isolated naturally-that there should always appear on this floor so many eloquent advocates against that system, who all want to say at once that this will cost too much, because, forsooth, it applies to that class. You never hear anything about economy when the managers of great corporations, thc great controllers ot trusts, and the great monopolists come hero and want anything. They have advocate upon top of advocate; but, strange to say, when something is proposed for the great mass of tho people-the farmers of this country-who pro duce that which feeds and clothes the world, and who after feeding and clothing themselves and every other citizen, and every other class and profession, send enough abroad to pay the balance of trade of this nation '. its business with other nations, you find so many crying out it will cost too much. Why begin to economize on the farmers? About thc very first speech, or among the first speeches, that I made was irade in tho Fifty-third Congress in the interest of an appropriation of $'20,000, which was introduced by Mr. Moses, then a member of the Tost Office Appropriation Com mittee, as an amendment to that bill. I advocated it in a speech, Mr. Wil liams, of Mississippi, and several others advocated it, and it passed, and that was the first praetical appro priation that the Postmaster-General ever made use of which started this great system. This sum was then increased from session to session and from Congress to Congress till it reached its present proportions. I have heard men get up on this floor here, who had hardly thought of Congress then, and claim to be the great organizers and starters of this system. It is not strange that so many should now want to daddy tho project. I heard of it before I over came to Congress, and have only done what I could to push it along, because I saw it was good. Now, the first argument against this system is that it will cost too much. If the people in the country aro entitled to a service at all, they are entitled to an efficient service. Look over the bill that is to como up for consideration soon, from tho Post Office Appropriation Committee. You find thero the enormous sum of 117,000,000 or $18,000,000 appro priated for free delivery in tho cities and large towns all over this country of ours. I am not here to militate against or oppose that appropriation. I say let them have it, because it is right. In addition, thoy have appro priations for streot car tickots, bicy cles, and every other facility in addi tion to tho largo salaries that these city carriers get. But I ask in tho name of common sense is it right to deny a similar privilego to tho pcoplo in tho country? I maintain that tho country, pcoplo are as deserving of suoh things as our oity peoplo. If you wish to economize, why is it that you do not incorporate tho con tract system in this bill for the free delivery of tho mail in the large cities and towns of this country ? Then at loast you could have olaimod to be consistent. But you want to rom. FOB HARNESS ?'.dj; Mt once, oud you will bo twtouished It's this wi You can burn your!

A FOWL TIP. other j KW 1 tr 3 Liniment. lt hi culled u S?A.NDA menee your parsimony only on ono 1 class of oitizens, I do not wish to impugn tho mo tives of members upon this great committee, but it does seem to mo that it is a movo toward disorganiz ing and destroying this groat system of rural free delivery which the farmers have so much interest in, about the only thing the government does to help make country life moro desirable. Who ia it that fights your battles for you? Who is it that pays 80 per cent of tho taxes if it is not tho people in thc rural districts? And I say that whether you intend it or not, if this bill should pass it would .provo tho death-knell of free rural delivory ; and, in my humble judgment, there are some gentlemen here who would destroy that system under the pretended hoad of econ omy. When the agricultural appropria tion bill comes in here thero is always Borne smart Alec who gets up and moves to strike out tho appropriation for the small pittance to purchase seeds to send out amongst tho farm ers. Strange it is that there is always somebody herc to fight that great class who have the burden of this government upon their shoul ders. I for one am sick and tired of hearing these silly little cries again the appropriation for these great people. I am an economist. I stand for economy ; but at tho samo time I stand for an efficient service in the affairs of this government. Under tho contract system you cannot get an efficient service. Why is it that you say it costs too much ? I care not how much it costs, so wo get value received, and so we give this service to the people of tho country, who are always ready and willing to defend it in time of peace and in time of war, and this service will eventually pay for itself. You may say you dp not intend to cripple tho service ; but, ray friends, the spider may not have said that he intended to eat tho Hy when ho in vited him into his parlor. So it is with you here in your cunning way. You ask men to vote for something hero that will deprive the people of tho country of this convenience-of this great civilizer and cnlightener which will let the pcoplo who live in tho country know that wo regard their wants in some other way than by sending tho tax assessor and tax collector to them. Lot them feel that they havo an interest in this great government as well as all the other elasses who are safely living in tho great cities and towns. Now, I do not stand up hero to claim that tho farmers own this country. It is not their country ; it is not the lawyers' country ; it is not tho doctors' country ; it is not the city man's country ; but it is our country, and all should work together for tho mutual upbuilding and bene fit of each and every class. I Bay do not make fish of one and flesh of tho other. Givo to tho country pco plo tho samo conveniences and the same amount of money as you do to tho peoplo who live in tho cities. Ab, my friends, if it wns not for tho sturdy yeomanry and the honest nobility who livo in tho country, with their conservatism and virtue, to stand ont against the corruption and vice of tho congosted cities and towns, it docB seem to mo sometimes that tho great Creator would havo to burn it up in self-defense. Of course I speak in a general way, because I know that thousands of good and virtuous peoplo livo in our great cities. But I say givo us something ?hr*t will enlighten tho country, that will do justice to the country boyB who aro already too willing to leave the farms, to leavo their homes in the coun try and go to tho over-crowded towns and cities, where they can part thoir hair in tho middle and .

Let us take caro of all of them-good, bad, and indifferent -by doing justice to all alike. [Laughter and applause.] I am against the enactment of any such measure as this, because it means tho dissolution and disarrange ment and disorganization of the plan which has been adopted in establish ing the carrying of tho mail freo to the people of this great country of ours. The farmers of this country alone have no protection. Every other clans has been protected. The farmer is left alone, as it were, to battle with the soil and climate and adverso circumstances, unsophis ticated as ho is, knowing nothing about tho tricks and trnflio of trade and the whittling process of specula tion, knowing nothing about the grinding and oppressive operations of trusts and combinations, but roady to do his duty as tho honest yeo manry of tho country, tho man always ready to respond to his coun try's call. Then let us do him jus tico as well as thc others. I will stand for him, and I am willing to live and die, sink or swim with him. I nm opposed to this bill, which means n disarrangement of the plan which gives the farmers what they ought to have. Lot tho present arrangement stand ns it is, at least for the present. [Loud applause.] Tillman Shuns Investigation. Washington, March ??7.-Senator Till man, of South Carolina, is anxious to. prevent tho proposed investigation of Lia charges against his colleague, Senator McLaurin, in accordauco with tho torms of Senator Pritchard's resolution, now ponding beforo tho Committoo on Privi leges and Elections. Senator McLaurin wants tho investigation and is supported by Senators Uanna and Pritchard. Sona tor Burrows, chairman of tho committoo, howover, desires to steer clear of an in vestigation. Tillman's ebargo was that McLaurin gave his voto for tho ratifica tion of tho treaty of penco with Spain in exchange for Federal patrouago. How Senator McLaurin's voto was obtained was long ago explained by Re publican Senators, who shortly beforo tho voto on tho treaty was taken, Febru ary 6, IHM, secured from Sonators McLau rin and McEnery the two votes necessary to form tho two-thirds ma' >rity. Repub lican Senators said at tho timo that they bad appealed to McLaurin's patriotism, an appeal which was mado effective by the news rccoived that morning of tho insurgent attack upon tho American lino, and by ant hm ilativo assurances that tho best sentiment in tho South would sup port him in such a courso.-Now York Sun.

Tho following from tho Richmond News is from tho pon of A. B. Wil liams, formerly editor of the Green ville News, is well worth tho care ful perusal of evory young mau who has ever- gambled or wanted to gamble : Probably there are in Richmond a number of shabby looking men, some young and othors old, who hang around the gambling places and pike at faro trying to take in half tho lay out, open and coppered, with one white chip, pitifully begging chips at poker games, soraping their pockets to shoot away a few coins at craps. There are men who can't sleep and can't keep away from the game even when they have not a cent to play with and who bit around wistfully to pick up sleepers or in tho vague hope that somebody in luck will givo them a few cents or dollars. These aro tho men who aro toloratcd for a time and then barred out. If they are not in Richmond this is the only town whore there aro gambling houses that lack them. You youngster with a job or an in come, look at tbcB' wrecks with a pittying contempt. Do you ever think that a few years ngo they wore just where you aro now-beginners at tho gamo with jobs and prospects and hopes ? It is just as sure that if you stick to it you will be where they aro, or perhaps worse. They are comparatively lucky. Hundreds and thousands of those who aro treading the road you are walking in aro in the penitenitaries or on the road. Every year hundreds of men who once wore clothes as good as yours or better, who have as much sonso and character as you havo and as good connection, are fished out of tho rivers around thc big cities or found dead on freight trains or picked up along roads and sent to die in strango almshouses and to bo buried like as many animals with "Unknown Tramp" as their only epitaphs. TUB (?AMI: WILT. UK AT YOU. Tho game will beat you in the end. Every gambler will toll you that. There is no doubt about it. The difference between good luck and bad at it is that with tho cards or the wheel or the dice' running your way you will last a little longer. The time must como when you must quit. If you arc lucky enough to bo ablo to quit before you have ruined yourself you will bc all tho mouey out you have lost and many a bitter day in tho future you will wish you had it and see where you could do much for yourself or somebody you would like to help if you had it. Do you over think of the histories and the tragedies behind these old pikers and dead beats, to say nothing of tho tramps at whom you laugh now ? All of them had women who loved thom and hoped for them, just as you, sonny, probably have. Most of these wrecks reprosont humilia tions moro bitter than can be written or told, long heartaches and tho sick ening sliding way of pride and con fidence and faith and all that makes lifo beautiful and worth living. Every man who goes to tho bad, as a rule, represents the agony of some helpless and unoffending woman. If you are any kind of a man at all, that is something that you will take into consideration. AUK YOU AIJBBADY IN DBUT? Wo are satisfied that sotno man will read this who already has felt the bitterness and the horror and the sting of tho disease. May bc already you are up to your eyes in debt, or, worse, have begun to dip into nionoy belonging to somebody else Intending to pay it back and fooling yourself with tho idea that you are honost. There is just ono way to stop and that is to Btop. Don't ding to tho idea that sometimo things must turn your way and that when you have pulled out of tho hole yon will swear off for good. Tho penitentiaries and asylums are full of mon who have boen right along there. Tho per centage of thc gamo must beat you, if you get a strictly fair showing which you do about onco in ten times. The gamblers are not in the business for amusement and aro not going to give you any chance they can help. When they aro absolutely on the level you have the same chance against them that any amateur has against a professional at any other Same-the same chance you would ave in a fight againbt Corbett or nt billiards against ives. E BY - - - DR. J. W. QUIT HIGHT NOW. Quit and do it without any reser vations about next timo or any period of swearing off. There is just J the ono way to stop gambling and that is a hard one and you will tind that it will test all tho manhood you have, if you have the disease badly. Some of you who do not acknowl edge that you have it can hardly wait for your placo to close or to get your suppers before you aro hunting tho gamo ; and you think of it all day and you dream of it all night1 and try to pick lucky hunches out of the street numbers. If you havo reached that stage you had better go down on your] knees and ask Almighty God to help you, and you had better also go to somebody you can trust, mako a | clean breast of it and got wh.it you may need to put you somewhere in hailing distance of honesty. Then moko up your mind earnestly and honestly, atick to it and get yourself interested in something else until tho craving and tho habit arc broken. And you who have not yet begun or who aro dabbling in it, now is the time, and tho ono safo time, to drop it. Cecil Rhodes Dead. Cecil Rhodes, the South African dia mond king and empire builder, died at Capo Town las'; Wednesday, after a serious illness extending over a poriod of about four weeks. The following osti mato of his charactor is given by John ll nyes Hammond, who was foi soveral years Intimately associated with him: 'Mr. Rhodes, whoso sun wont down when it was yot day, dies in tho 47th year of his ngo. Ho loaves no posterity, but leaves his name on tho map of Africa (Khodosia,) sponsor for a com monwealth nearly as largo as our West ei li States. Had ho lived he would havo devoted tho remaining years of his lifo and would havo spent overy dollar of his fortuno in equipping that commonwealth. Unfortunately his character has been misjudged in America. Judged by American standards, Mr. Rhodes was truly a great man. no was not only a great empire builder, but also a captain of industry, no ?B oftonor repre sented as a shifty, unscrupulous finan cier, in loaguo with capitalists to coax tho Transvaal into a hopeless war in order to steal the mines of tho country. Ile is also represented as giving his entire lifo to tho amassing of largo wealth and ready to employ tho most unscrupulous methods to that end. Hut by even tho most bitter of his enemies, conversant with tho facts, such allega tions aro repudiated. Tho truth is. Rhodes cared littlo for money boyond the power it gavo him to assist in tho development of South Africa. His methods of finance woro not only scrupulously honorablo, but woro char acterized by unusual liberality. Per sonally, Mr. Rhodes was democratic in his tastes and colonial in his political and social bias. Politically, ho was a great admirer of democratic institutions, but at tho samo timo ho was a loyal im perialist. Rhodes had his defects and faults, but these will liol obscure the glory of his namo. Great men, it is said, aro mado of faults. Of ono thing thoro can bo no doubt, Rhodes' ideals woro puro and lofty. Cecil Rhodes found in tho meditations of Marcus Aurelius many aspirations for his own career. Until tho unfortunate Jamieson raid, for which ho received far moro blame than ho de served, as history will provo, ho was vory popular with tho Dutch of South Africa. Within a very short timo thoro would havo boon a revulsion of feeling and, strango as it may sound to-day, Rhodes would havo proved ablo to re-establish his i ii 11 Hence with thc Dutoh ? and hu would havo boon quick to tako advant age of tho situation and would havo passed into history as tho groat pacifier of South Africa. This estimate of Rhodos is held even to-day hy many of tho progressive Dutchmen in tho coun try." KKUOHK ON RHODBS'8 DKATII. Tho Amsterdam correspondent of tho London Express telegraphs that on tho nows of Cecil Rhodos's death being con voyed to him, Paul Krugor said: "Tho Lord givoth, tho Lord taketh away; blessed bo tho namo of tho Lord."
