his order, reducing mail service upon all
star routes-which are routes NOT upon any
railroad line-to one trip a week. This
action 10 rendered necessary BY the economy
of the democratic congress, which refuses to
appropriate money sufficient to keep up this
important branch of the service. In case
the reduction in expenses is not sufficient,
through the means adopted, to enable the
Postofice department to keep within the
meagre appropriation. all mail routes es-
tablished since the first of July, 1879, will
be discontinued. This action will be seri-
