REDUCE THE
An Appeal Not Echoed Rack
from Discontinued Pos
tai Routes.


View Terk HERALD
Mr. James, according to the des-
patches from Washington, has found
the post Office department a mine Of
wealth for the government and the
people compared with which the fs-
sures Of Nevada are mean and insig-
ni6cant. We have forgotten the exact
sum he has taken away from the bene-
6ciaries and friends Of the late ad-
ministration, but it runs into the
millions. 1t is to be hoped the new
postmaster general will not relax his
efforts in this direction. The public
funds should not be squandered on a
set of political vagabonds-On star
route robbers and others who in some
mysterious way coatrived to snugly
nestle under the angelic wings of Mr..
Hayes. In unearthing these frauds
and rasealities Mr. James has render
ed a most important service to the
whole country. He has shown that
the postofice department for the last
four years has been the most corrupt
branch OF the public service; aud
what is more, he has rendered cor.
ruption in the same line impossible
for many years to come. If he will
not exert himself to utilize the money
saved in this way, so that the business
men OF the country shall be afforded
cheaper rates Of postage, he will have
rendered a service which will cause
his name and administration to be
held in the most grateful remem-
brance. In this age of cables and
Geographic lines and p~ostofices the
tax on commercial communication is
a heavy one. City letters should only
pay one cent, and two cents would be
amply sufficient for mail matter all
over the country.
There may be a deficiency the first
year or so, but in short time the in.
creased volume of business that
would flow to the p~ostofices would
more than make good the loss. Viii
Mr.. James take hold of this great

to Portugal would be to give him a
similar position to the one he was
holding at the same salary. To send
hint to any Of these places it would be
necessary to remove the incumbents,
and General Grant complained in his
celebrated letter to Jones because a
SON of his old friend Fish had been
removed, after he resigned, to make
room for a new man. All this simply
shows that the Grant idea of appoint
ments is identical with the Conkling
idea, namely, that the government of
the United States and all its emolu-
ments and offices belong to me and
my friends forever. If anybody else
gets anything, make a row"

WHEN Memphis Commandery, No.
A, K. T.. arrived at Chattanooga, they
decorated their cars with flags and
bunting, and when they arrived home,
yesterday morning, the Memphis mil
itary companies met them at the depot,
to welcome them home and congratu
late them on their success in the com
petitive drill with the Nashville Com
mandery. Memphis may we'll be proud
of her Knights Templar, and, in fact,
all the competing and visiting sir
Knights admired their drill and felt
glad that the order should be so well
represented on the drill field. The
universal verdict of all were, Mem
phis Commandery had worked hard
and deserved success" -[Knoxville

1t will surely be news to any and all
members of the Chattanooga Com
mandery to hear that Memphis Com
mandery stopped over a day or SO in
their city. The Memphis sir knights
did not have the good fortune to fall
in with any Of their Chattanooga
brethren on the occasion alluded to
above.

Mr.. Suter, who has recently been
ransomed from the Greek brigands,
tell an interesting story of his expert
ences after his wife was sent to Salons.
ca to secure the money for his release.
The brigand consisted Of Ottoman
Greeks, HelleAes and Christian Abb
mans, and several of them were deser.
ters from the Greek army. They
were divided into two bands between
which there were constant discard
and in their quarrels their captiye's
life was frequently in danger. Mr..
Suter and his captors slept on leaves
upon the ground, aud when released
MIR. Suter was covered with sores and
vermin. When the brigands were
not absenton foraging expeditions they
passed most oftheir time in singing.
dancing, drinking, card playing, and
telling stories of murders and other
vlllianous exploits. Notwithstanding
their shameless life and blasDhe.
nous language, they we're
very superstitious and strict in
their religious obseryances. They
tasted during Lent, and celebrated
Easter with great solemnity, burning
incense, chanting hymns and saluting
each other with kisses, which they al

.PRINCE LEOPOLD
Something About Queen Vic
tOria's Fourth and First Boys.

London, May q. correspondence New York
Tribune, By G.. W. Smalley.
Byfar the most important announce
ment in the morning papers is the fol-
lowing:
With reference to the creation of
Prince Leopold duke of Albany,
earl Of Clarence, and Baron Arklow,
his royal highness will, except public
and official occasions, generally retain
the style OF Prince Leopold; and
when the title of duke of Albany is
used, the name Prince Leopold
will always be preixed.
So that is settled. and the world,
relieved henceforyard of its anxious
doubts on this momentous matter,
may devote a portion of its time to
such trifes as business and legislation.
Nothing | can say will give you a suf
icent notion of the gravity of the or
dinance above quoted. You will print
it in small characters maybe in a cor.
ner. Here it is blazoned forth in all
the dignity of leader type, in the most
conspicuous position in the paper, and
is the subject of endless discussion,
public and private. 1t puts sll the
peerages-I mean the books so called
out of date at once. Whether the
creation of this new dignity for the
queens fourth son is to be the occa-
sion for a new grant of money out Of
the public purse we are not yet told.
Probably not. He has at present
$4,000 a year from that source. The
present creation gives him a seat in
the house Of lords and make him a
legislator. Heretofore, though a
prince of the united kingdom, he was
not a peer, and had no part in the
framing of statutes for the govern
ment of this empire, as his brothers,
the prince of Wales, the duke Of Ed
iDburg, and the duke Of Connaueht,
have. The two latter had this privi-
lege conferred on them, as Prince
Leopold now has, late in life. They
were princes from their birth, but
their peerages were not bestowed till
they had passed their majority.
The Prince of Wales, however, who
honored this world by being born into
it on the 9th of November, 194l, was
created by patent Prince of Wales
and earl of Chester while still in his
longest clothes, and less than a month
old, and sits in the lords as Prince of
Wales, being the only member of that
august assembly whose peerage is a
p~rincedom. or principally, or what.
ever the word may be. There is no
record of his voting while in the
cradle. His more recent and best
known legislative efforts have been
made in promotion of the bill to leg
slize marriages with deceased wives
sisters. | am not sure that he did not
once say or do something in connection
with a proposal to improve the breed
of horses in England. Prince Leo
pold, however, has taken the asthe-
tic, artistic and literary line. The
clever little speeches he has from
time to time recited in public in favor
of culture and in behalf of educational
institutions have been thought to in
dictate hat he had an excellent mem
DRY. The same gift may be useful to
him in the house of lords, where there
is a rule against reading speeches.
