IT turns ont that Z. ). Wilson,
editor Of the Post Office organ, went
to Washington to get the scedule
changed on the Gallipolis overland
mail route, and has succeeded in get
ting it changed to his publication
day. He bases his claim on the i'm
aginary ground that he is the daddy
of the Republican party. He is as
crazy as the immortal 81. N" on
that subject.-IrontOn Journal.
Yes, this is perhaps small mat
ter, but nevertheless it needs to be
ventilated. The service on that
route was doubled that the people
might be accommodated, but it has
been so tinkered with that but little
good has been accomplished. The
service has been crowded into four
successive days, leaving the other
three days Of the week unsupplied.
That was not what the people wanted
when asking for double service.
They wanted the week fairly and
evenly divided; say Monday and
Tuesday, and Thursday and Friday.
or Tuesday and Wednesday, and Fri
day and Saturday. This was the
motive that prompted the effort for
double service, but it seems that the
interest of one or two newspaper
men were paramount to the interests
of the people, and to accommodate
them the whole service had to be
crowded into the last half of the
week. The day of judgment will
come.
