So say the advertisements every day.
Everybody wants partner, though every.

The Tribune says One man wants part.
ner with capital of $4,000; another, a
partner with capital of bright eyes, fair form
and clear thousand year of undivided
affection; third, with good, honest heart;
isn't particular about the way it's "put up,"
provided he can haze the uhdisputed title
thereto. And so it goes; everybody, the world
over, is looking for partner-waiting for
partner-sighing for u partner. Some are
ashamed to confess it; others speak "right
out" and all, as they look, disclose some lit.
tic pet weakness of their own. One man has
Il pencham for a particular fashion of nose;
he doesn't care way, We owner knows, if she
only owns Roman nose. Aaothe: is be.
witched for black eyes, caring little what is
behind or above them. A third wants form
like IN hour-glass and he finds it; so all three
marry respectively, eyes, nose and hour-gla
The eyes grow rheumy and dim, and peer
qucerly over IL pair Of spcctacles for "forty.
fve." Just think of that forty FIVE! The
nose loses its fair proportions and becomes
receptacle for "Macaboy;' and the hour-glass
grows old and crazy. Another man marries
n voice, and has nothing left at last but the
echo. And worse than all, he that marries "a
plum" and woman to boot, makes way with
the wealth, and-the woman remains. Some.
times, but not often-we will give them cred.
it for that-the women are seeking for part
ners; one pair of whiskers; another, six feet
in his stockings; third, Il house and lot. But
tho whiskers get frosty, the six feet leans like
the tower of Pisa, the house is mortgaged,
the mortgage is "forecoscd," and nothing re.
mains but the man himself. And 50 it goes,
and so they all go. "Partner wanted" o!
course; if Il man has a surplus of joy, he
wants to divide it; because, in dividing, he
doubles it.

OuucI tuCSC IutCSS We uc toiu III viz "oiC
and elaborate report of the Post Master Cen
eral Campbell, there were on the first of De-
cembcr last, 22,608 Post Masters employed;
and what dear reader do you think was paid
to this little army Of public slaves during the
year, to dcfray the expenses Of living, office
rent and clerk hire. The report tells us the
compensation to POstmasters was 3 ,S2 900:
averaging but n fraction over $50 to each per
annum! Why the bone gatherers in the
streets of New York realize more than this.
Even the common soldier in these "piping
times" of peace, with nothing to do but cat
the pork and beans furnished him by govern
ment, gets at least his $96 in hard cash an
nualy.
The amount of service performed, for
which there is no compensation, is very con-
siderable. From report of the Washing
ton City Post Office, for the year ending June
80, lSl7, the number Of free written mail
matter sent through the office, was Sl,3O2,-
5O3, and the number Of speeches and docu-
ments 4Ol, ,596. The postage to which that
matter would have been subject, if not frank
cd, is computed by that report at $7S2,796.
During the same year there were 2,lOO 900
letters returned to the dead letter office in
volving heavy and uuproductive cxpcndi-
ture.
The present is period noted for remark
ably high prices of living; scarcely exceeded
by the memorable times of 1886; labor, rents,
and all kinds of produce have advanced very
steadily and materially in price. Congress.
men complain at SO per day; the clerks in the
departments ut Washington can scarcely sub.
sist at from $l,5OO $4,000 per year; and the

THE COMPENSATION OF POST MAS.
TIERS;

We copy the following excellent article
upon subject which we hope will speedily
receive the attention Of the proper authori.
ties, from the Ashcville IN. c. News:
The Mining Register has an able and in.
teresting article on the subject indicated by
the caption of this article. 1t is a subject
in which every class of citizens is directly
and vitality interested. The postmasters come
more directly in contact with the people than
any class of Government appointees, and the
Importance of having faithful and competent
men to fill these Offices, is felt and acknowl.
edged by all. That the present rate of COM
pcnsation is Inadequate remuneration for the
labor and responsibility involved, must be
apparent to even the least observant.
The act of lS45 made important changes
in postage and mail service of the county,
One of those changes was reduction OF
postage which increased very considerably the
amount OF business; another consisted in di-
rccting all mail service to be let to the lowest
bidder, irrespective Of the mode Of convey
ance. This single regulation, we are told,
reduced the contracts of lS45, in New Eng
land and New York, the first section let un.
der that law, more than $250,00O. Another
provision of the same year, was that requiring
a classification of the service, and fixing the
maximum price of those classes. The effect
of these laws was, aside from greatly dimin-
ishing the price Of mail transportation, to aid
in bringing speedily the expense of the SER
vice within the income derived from the re.
duced postage. Hence we find the gross rev.
enue for the year ending June 80, 1910
amounted to $4,9O5,l76 while the expendi.
lures for the same time were $4,479,049,
leaving an excess of $426,l27.
But the obnoxious portion of the present
law against the oppressive feature Of which
all the twenty thousand intelligent American
Post Masters protest, is found in the fact,
that whileit reduced the rates of postage, the
labors of all the offices have vastly increased,
while their pay has been greatly diminished.
This is gross wrong the perpctration Of
which may have escaped the observation Of
members of Congress, in the passage of the
bill; and justice to the Post Masters, and .
proper regard for the dignity and demands Of
labor, require prompt modification.
The rates of commissions allowed to Post
Masters on receipts are:
