LEAKS IN THE POST OFFICE DEPART
MENT

We perceive there is a deficiency in
the means OF carrying on the postal
service. In q machinery 50 vast it is
no easy matter to keep all the cranks
sound and in smooth working order,
and ut the same time guard against
leakageS in the financial department.
1t does not seem to be noted that post
age stamps may be cOunterfeited with
far more ease than it could be done
with the stamp currency. 1t is sug-
festive of something loose when little
boys are found Hawking about sheets of
stamps and offering them for sale at
whatever they can get for them. In
u stationary store at Greenpoint the
other day two little boys approached,
and one entered with u sheet of stamps
offering them for sale. The lady in
charge put her hand firmly down on
them and asked him where he got
them, From the boy outside,' he
said; but he took care to be soon out
side himself and made his escape.
Through what channel did those
stamps come! Whatever it was
thousands may have come in the same
direction. A regulation of the Post
Office may have sent them astray. 1t
is this: The postmasters of outlying
villages, where there is little bushes
done, are allowed discount. in some
cases as high us fifty per cent. on the
stamps issued to them. Thus it is
aimed to make up in profit for the
paucity in sales. But the business
does not stop there. The small post
office master has privilege to take 4
considerable quantity at the, to him,
reduced price. and SO he puts IN agen-
! cy at work to sell them in the big CEN
tres, taking % per cent gain to him.
self and giving similar gain TO his
customer. In taking view all round
the small offices scattered everywhere
over the vast surface of the Republic.
one is struck with the immensely of
loss that may arise from this source.
Piled to its utmost capacity this sim
gle cause might absorb Il third or
fourth of the whole revenue at any
rate very large amount it.
There is no valid reason why post
masters should have this door into the
treasury opened to them. In villages
the storekeeper eagerly seeks the
Post Office business as a help to his
retail business. There may be neither
letter nor newspaper for farmer Jones,
but he will call to see whether there is
or not. And once in the store some
thlng will catch his eye or his thought
that may be wanted at home: and he
generally buys less or more rather
than have nothing to show for his lost
time. This complication with the
small offices and the large offices. too,
appears. therefore. to be wholly unnec.
e>sary and seems to have about it the
odor of q job. 1t unwise in congress
to entrust any such discretion in the
hands OF the Post Office Department.

Dom Plat
This famous financier, who financed
himself into q colossal fortune and
the Republican party into hopeless
minority, thought to help things by
having a meeting of Republican lead
ers at his house. They came as invited.
but bore the appearance of a collec-
ton OF undertakers about preparing a
distinguished body for the tomb. 1t
soon became evident that Cancellation
and harmony were rather hopeless.
Blaine and Conklin would not speak to
each other, or to any one in the neigh
borhood of either, less the address
might be taken. Stanley Matthews
and Garfield scowled at each other.
Hoar sneered at Dawes. Dawes
snapped like a little rat-tarrier at
everybody. Ben Butler looked as
though his hat was indeed we'll filled
with bricks. Evarts made tests at
which nobody laughed, while Carl
Schurz came near doing what Sherman
failed in, and that was to make the
crowd unanimous in their contempt
for SchurZ.
Sherman tried in vain to break the
gloom. He reminded one of Rip Van
Wrinkle in the CatSkill Mountains
among the ghosts Of Hudson's men
that is, if you can imagine General
Old Rip as Il financial John Sherman.
After the wine got in and the crowd
grew loquacious, matters grew
worse. Ugly epithets were banded
to and fro, and the venerablc-swallow-
tailed Hamlin got SO alarmed he took
refuge in one Of Mrs. Sherman bed
rooms, and said, with faltering voice,
that he believed he was threatened
with collie and wanted to go home.
Matters grew SO threatening at last
for fists were being shaken under
nOses-that Sherman telegraphed for
Major Richards to fetch apolice force.
And SO ended this desperate attempt
at reconciliation.
