In brief talk with a TRIBUNE reporter
Postmaster-General James, whose resignation
takes effect Oh the first of January, says Of
fetal life is disappointing, and speaks regret
fully of the plans for improving the postal
service which he has not had time to carry
out in the brief period since he was called by
President Garfield to the Cabinet. He can rest
assured that he is no more disappointed
than the public. The Gcncralship
had 80 often been q refuge for brokcn-down
politicians-ex- Governors, ex-Senators and eX-
Congressman, rejected by their constituents
and grasping at the skirts of the Chief EXecu-
tive for a chance t. remain on the surface Of
affairs-that the country was rcjoced when a
trained man of business, thoroughly familiar
with postal work, was put in the place last
March The satisfaction increased when
Mr. James began to strike vigorous blows
at the roots of old abuses, and showed that in
creased efficiency could be obtained with di-
minished expense. BY the time he had been a
few months i'll Office a prospect opened for an
early balancing of receipts and expenditures
without deficiency grant from Congress, and
beyond the people saw the pleasing probability
of cheaper letter postage. All this seems to
have como to an end now.

Sir Edward Reed, the English capitalist who

by gross exaggeration Of its attractions. 4

Not many years ago the Government of San
Domingo was eager to sell us the Bay of
Samana. Now the report that United States
vessel is taking soundings in the bay causes
q great excitement, and two armed schOOners

Commissioner Lane spoke in favor OF the
extravagant estimates OF the Park Department
before the Board OF Estimate and Apporuon-
ment Yesterday. He thought his views OF so
much importance that he had them printed III

In fact the margins were much too broad lor
the matter. Only sound thought is worthy OF
sumptuous setting. Mr.. Lane viii find few to
agree with him in his opinion Of the value Of
his argument lie is as prodigal IN his notions
as to the money Of the taxpayers as he Is no
cral in margins. On one or two points OF park
management Mr. Lane has clearly been in the
right, but in real qualifications for the Office OF
Park Commissioner he has been, like others
of his colleagues, cOnspicuously lacking.

the resolution.
Mr. Parnell has just givennotco Of an amendment
opposing the second reading Of the Land bill. 1t de-
claros that the Land bill in the present state would
fail to secure 10 tenant farmers such a reduction in
rents ~ would afford adequate protection to their
property in their holdings aud would have evicted
or raok-rented tenants in dcfencecss position, cnd
that it Offers guarantee Of the creation Of a S-f
hcent number Of occupying owners to check the
monopoly in land, or make available for the labor
ing population any Of the large Of cleared land
from which former occupiers were uniustly evicted.
This amendment Is probably intended simply as a
