Nobody in Seattle complains OF our
Postmaster. He 10 generally recognized
"A faithful TO his trust, obligina and po-
lite TO tho public, and a. being generally
disposed to do the very bsst he can IN
der the circumstances by which he Is
Surrounded.
But there ID Q very general feeling Of
dissatisfaction and disposition to COM
plain on account Of the nieRardly poiley
uursned By the general POseon'es ~
paxtment towards this prosperous sna
growing city.
The accommodations provided are IN
.daouaae to the demands Of the general
public and the absolute wants OF 'ne
business community. -,
Postmaster Carr states that be could
rent one hundred and nifty moro dsiiv-
ery boxes Il he had room TO place thsn'
in the building occupied - the Seattle
PostofIice, which = - large, - centrally
located, and a. conveniently lifted up a.
the msaese salary allowed him VIII pse-
NIT.
Mr.. Carr also statss that the revenues
Of the oboe exceed The sxDsnditurss ~
S4Ooo-perhaps 8 little more. This 10
contrary TO the general idss, - vs I'M
dsrstand II, which Directs the opsFations
Of tho dspartnsnt. It II contemplated
70 make tho postal systsm Of The United
States sustaining bat not sourcs
Of profit. .
There IL no reason Why the people OF
this city should be taxed 5000 TO sup
NV ds6oisnciss in Other soutss ana m
other localities.
In eus Of the towns Of this Territory
no larger than, II, indeed, - large - b.
attic, the postmaster receives a salary OF
$500. The postmaster in SssssIs 70
osives only e2l0O.
In thu same town WHARF tho postmas-
Ter receives 800 more per annum than
the postmaster Of Seattle. the sum OF
40 nor month 10 allowed for Office rent.
Here, our possmastsr i allowed nothina.
but 10 required to pay Office rent and
clerk hire. and furnish fire and light, out
Of his stipend Of $2lOo per year.
This condition Of affairs calls for 70
lief from the department at Washington.
We respectfully call the attention Of
the powers that b - the facts IN the
case, and urge An early confederation
thereof. TO be followed BY prompt cotton.
We moreover suggest 70 our citizens n
monster petition ON the subject. Every
business man in the city will sign it.

men that COW treated in polite, gen.
tlemanly manner as though she were q
companion would give twice as much
milk. The plan seemed feasible enough
to me. had been a hard man with my
stock, ard thought maybe that was one
reason my cows always dried up when
butter was forty cents pound, and gave
plenty of milk when butter was only
worth fifteen cents a pound. | decided
to adopt your plan, and treat a cow as |
would lady. | had brind!e COW that
never had been very much mashed on
me, and decided to commence on her,
and the next morning after reading your
laundering paper, | put on my Sunday
suit and white plug hat that bought
the wear that Greeley run for President
and went to the barn TO milk. | noticed
the old cow seemed to be bashful and
frightened, but taking off my hat and
bowling politely, said: Madam, ex-
cuse the seeming improperly of the re-
quest, but will you do me the favor to
hoist: At the same time | tapped her
gently on the flank with my plug hat,
and sat down on the milking stool"
did she hoist y said we, rather anx-
ious to know how the advice of President
Smith, of Sheboygan, the great dairy
man, had worked. "Did she hoist (:
We'll, look at me and see if you think
she hoisted. The COW raised right up
and kicked me with all four feet, switch
cd me with her tail and hooked me with
both horns all at once, and when | got
up ou, of the bedding in the stall, and
dug my hat out of the manger, and the
milking stool out from under me, and
began to maui that COW, | forgot all
about the treatment Of horned cattle.
Why she fairly galloped over me, and |
never want to read your old paper again"
We tried to explain to him that the adj
vice did not apply to brindle cows at all,
but he hobbled out the maddest man
that ever asked a COW to hoist, in diplo-
matte language Chicago Tribune.
