POST oFFIcG MONEY oRDER SYSTEM


The Money Order System of the Post
ONCE IS established for the protection and
convenience IF the people in making
money remittances through the mails.
The number Of Money Order Offices have

Joining States, where one or more of these
offices Is not established. This system
affords the safest and cheapest method Of
making money remittances in limited
amounts to all paris of the United states.
When it can possibly be avoided, 7noneU
should neUer be sent in The mails.
The charges for Money Orders are as fol-
lows:
On Orders not exceeding s2O........IO cents.
Over so and not exec edIng &8O--.....I5 cents.

Hahn V,uII ON the situation.
LONDON. Nov. THE Times, In an ar
ticle on the situation in Spain, says the I'M
derstanding between Prim and Serrano
must end. The election of king affords
the best opportunity they could have for
dissolution Of partnership, which could not
be otherwise effected without disastrous
outbreak. The Unionists have no chance
of success after weeks vain effort in Cor
ties. The ministers of that party have ne
signed. Serrano must follow them, and
then Prim remains master - situation
which suits him at least. He wishes to
have the substance of power under some
one vested with its semblance. For the
past year Serrano has served as cloak Tor
his ambition. If Serrano withdraws and
the Duke of Genoa is not brought IN,
then Prim stands exposed to the
envy of the great and the raneour OF
of the small, alone between friends who do
not trust him. and enemies who, when the
time comes. will not fail to desert him.
