CHARLES EMORY SMITH:
- The New_‘Po,stmaster General a Man of
High Attainments.
Mr. Smith, successor * to James. A.
Gary, was born February 18, 1842, at
Mansfield, Conn, and seven years later
removed with his parents to Albany, N.
Y., where his early education pro-
gressed until, at the age of 16 years, he
, graduated from the v local academy.
Six months later he entered Union Col-
lege and during the interim, though he
Was then, as stated, but'16 years 'old.
he wrote leading articles for the Al-
bany Evening Transcript. He gradu-
ated from Union College in 1861, and
was soon afterward appointed to the
staff of General Rathbone, who was in
command, of various depots in New
York state where volunteer-s were or-
ganized into regiments. and having
spent two years in this work he ex-
changed the post for one in the faculty,

CHARLES E. SMITH.
l
It his old school, the Albany Academy.
In 1865' Mr. Smith left the scholastic
world and entered the Journalistic pro-
fession, becoming the editor of the Al?
bany Express, of which he had charge
for five years, undertaking, in addition,
for several months of 1868, the duties
‘ of private secretary to Governor Fen-
lon. In 1870 he became associated with
George Dawson in the conduct of the
Iournal, the leading Republican paper
In Albany, becoming editor-in-chief on
Mr. Dawson’s retirement in 1876.
In 1874 he was president of the State
Press Association and delivered the an—
ual address at its meeting. For six
succcessive years he served as delegate
to the Republican State convention. In
[880 he was selected as temporary and
permanent president, and was chair-
man of .the committee on resolutions in
each of the other years, excepting 1877,
when Roscoe Conkling held that post
tnd Mr. Smith was secretary. He was
tlso a delegate to the National Republi-
can convention in 1876, and, as New
York member of the committee on res-
olutions, a large portion or the plat-
form was drafted by his pen. I;
In 1871 Mr. Smith was elected a trus-
ni, and in 1879 the State Legislature
elected him a regent of the University
of the State of New York.
In February, 1880, Mr. Smith resigned
the editorship of the Albany Journal
and the following month took up his
residence in Philadelphia, of which he
uas since been a. citizen, having at that
time acquired the editorship of what
uad been known as Forney’s Press and
of which he assumed charge March 8
of that year, becoming, soon after his
appointment as editor, part owner of
the paper. He transferred to this city
and State the active interest that had
made him a prominent participant in
the political affairs of New York, es-
Decially in State and national politics.
In the interim he has become a. well
known figure in Republican State and
national conventions, as well as upon
the stump as a Republican speaker. He
was one of the committee having
charge of Mr. Blaine’s nomination in
[884, and made the speech in the con—
vention of 1888 presenting Mayor Fitler
as a presidential candidate.
He was made minister to Russia by
President Harri-son in 1890, assuming
charge of that post on May 14- of that
year at St. Petersburg. During his ser-
vice there he bore a large part in the
iistribution of the extensive relief sup-
efit of the famine-stricken peasantry.
He resigned the post in May, 1892, and
‘esumed the editorship Of rthe Press, a.
position he has since retained. His
name was mentioned frequently in con-
nection with a portfolio when President
McKinley’s cabinet was first being
lormed, and particularly in connection
with the one that has now been given
him.—Philadelphia Ledger.
The Bomb in Jafl‘ Davis’ Desk.
,VVhen the United States troops occu-
pied Richmond, Va., April 3d, 1865, Gen-
eral Edward H. Ripley, of Vermont,
who was appointed military governor
of the city, found in the desk [of Jef-
ferson Davis, in the house occupied by
the Confederate President, a cast-iron
bomb in the shape of a lump of coal.
It was evidently cast from a good-
sized piece of coal, was coated with
coal tar and coal dust, and could hard-
ly be distinguished when handled from
a lump of coal. It was hollow, and
iwould hold powder enough to make a
heavy explosion. Army authorities
,have never doubted that the otherwise
unexplained blowing up of a steam‘ves-
sel loaded with amunition at City Point
l{was the work of a bomb of this kind,
E\which had been dropped into a. pile of
,'coal and shovelled into the furnace of
Evthe steamer, and similar bombs pro-

SLEEPING m SIGNAL TOWERS. . l
A New Attitude of Railroad luau-gen to
Men Guilty of a'Gravo Fault. -
When the soldiers. sleep on picket
duty in «time of war they are liable to
be courtmartialed and shot. Soldiers
know that, and still not even the fear
of death is sufficient to keep them
awake always. A momentary lapse of
alert, waging intelligence on the part
of a railroad man sometimes means the
loss of life and property. When rail-
road men are found asleep at their
posts they are not taken out and shot;
they are simply discharged. At least
that was the invariable rule up to a
very recent time; no railroad officials
would even inquire into 'the particulars
of a case of this kind. Recently there
has arisen a promise of greater len-
iency with regard to the man found
asleep on duty. Some raliroad men
have worked on the question carefully
and intelligently. They have consid-
ered the fact that not even fear of
death will keep the sentinel awake al-
ways, and have realized that the lower
penalty of discharge must therefore be
ineffective sometimes. They have rea—
soned that men have always slept and
probably always will sleep at certain
times when 'they shculd be awake. Be-
ginning with this fact, there has been
evolved a change of alttitude on the
part of the railroad toward its em-
ployees. A man is charged to stay
awake just as emphatically as ever be-
fore; but the mere fact of being asleep
is no longer considered the gravest in-
fraction of duty. The thing that men
are discharged for under this new sys-
tem is the giving [of a wrong signal.
That is, they are discharged for mak-
ing mistakes that might cause a wreck,
whatever may have been the reason
for making them. Going to sleep,
it is argued, is not in itself the
gravest mistake. The mental attitude
of the railroad 'toward its employee un-
der this system is something like this:
”Don’t go to sleep! In the name of
everything good and holy don’t go to
sleep! But if you do, wake up thor-
oughly before you act. Don’t touch a
signal before you count twenty-five, or
before you wash your face, or before
you do something else to convince your-
self that you are wide enough awake to
act reasonably and rationally.”
Investigators have found that a man
who has slept will upon waking take
the most desperate chances to cover
up his fault when discharge is the in-
evitable result of detection. Take for
an example the case of a toWer opera-
tor on a block system where the home
system is normally set at danger. A
man, and especially a very tired man,
never knows upon waking how long he
has been asleep. It might seem to
him hours since he let the last train
into his block. In reality only one
short minute might have elapsed since
he leaned his tired head upon his desk
and sank into the unconsciousness of
utter exhaustion. If he woke up and
saw a. train standing at the tower his
first wild impulse, under the Old sys-
tem of discharge, would be Ito throw
things wide open and take the chances
of a clear track. He would do this
rather than resort to the telegraph,
which would inform him as to the po-
‘sition of trains, but would also inform
the despatcher’s office of his condition.
If anything had (happened to the for-
ward train and it had come to a stop
w.thout protecting its rear (it is gener-
ally some such combination of errors
that causes a wreck under modern
methods of railroading), the rear train
would inevitably crash into it and spill
things. Not even an elaborate inter-
locking system, such as is in operation
on "the New York Central, is an abso—
lute protection, because machines get
out of order and make as serious mis-
takes as men. For the safety of lives
and property it is necessary to depend
upon the employees, and it may also
be said that no present employee of
any railroad has ever made a mistake,
when you consider a “mistake” in the
technical railroad sense of lhaving
Caused a wreck. Railroads discharge
men every day for proving themselves
human, and no railroad will take a
man from another road without a clean
record.
It speaks well for this new method
that wherever it has been tried it has
continued 'in use—New York Sun.
