Resignation of E. W. Barber, Third

A Washington dispatch says: The I'M
pleasant rumors which connected Third
Assistant Postmaster General Barber with
irregularities in the letting of the postal
card contract, and some similar matters
less widely commented on in connection
with the postage stamp letting, have been
uniformly connected with rumor Of his
resignation. The rumors have been con-
tradicted as they arose. No little surprise
was felt, accordingly, when his resignation
was announced Thursday. 1t was pre-
sented Wednesday, and Wednesday night
Barber started for Michigan. Key says
the resignation was unsolicited, and Bar
ber's friends also say so, apparently with
reason. BARRIERS official biography is
brief one. He is native of Benson, Yer
mont, the same town to which Senator
Dorsey owes his nativity, and he went to
Washington some years ago as reading
clerk. He has been in one official position
and another since then, holding his present
position several years. He ietires to man.
age his private f9rgD5e sia stamp n

truth of the article complained of consisted
of the fact that the states attorney was let
off too lightly and 1t comes back to the
proposition that 1t was "false and untrue"
to call him "good lawyer" These are the
only illusions to the states attorney that
we now recall, and we submit that with
the exception noted, they were all true,
and, moreover, that person competent to
hold that office ought to know something of
law and be able to get ''matters In shape to
bring a prosecution" in less than five

inal could place himself beyond the reach
of our energetic, efficient and prompt
