The Detective system for the Detectives.

But the worst fraud of all is the de-
tective system If n farmer, or any one
else loses horse, il is worth the price
of the animal to hunt it up. Detectives
do not seem TO be appointed, or to
work to catch the thief and return the
property as much rs to get good re-
wards and pocket all the cash possible,
either from the owner or the thief, or
both. Philadelphia has been having
racket i'm regard TO her detective sys-
TEN, and the end is not yet, 1t was
found that in some cases the
thieves, the officers and detectives.
were all i'm collision, and the detectives,
who were appointed to detect thieves.
and bring them to justice, and the
property stolen to its owner, could only
be engaged by paying almost. If not
altogether the value OF the property
stolen. This has been carried on so far
that one fine morning the Mayor of the
city, who had been elected on a refoym
ticket, cleaned out the whole business,
and began the appointment of new
officers, the last end of which act he
finds more difficult than the first.
In Ohio county West Virginia, they
have an organization composed of the
owners of some the best horses, who
Do Their Own Detecting.
Ifa horse is stolen the whole COM
pany, as it were. is let loose upon the
track of the thief, who never escapes,
for set of determined man can catch
any thief. AS consequence, horses be-
longing to members ofthe company are
not stolen, the thieves fight shy OF
these. So they might be all over the
country; if the detective system was
properly organized, every species OF pro-
perty could and would be, as well pro-
] tected, as are the horses of Ohio County.

.ilblnB Times.

Americans are a newspaper-reading
people, and it is impossible To eXagger-
ate the influence of the press as one of
the great educational forces. Thousands
Of men, immersed in business from year
to year never find time to look into a
book, but part of each day is invaria-
bly, devoted to reading the newspaper,
for they depend upon it not only for the
current news, tfOr Information in every
department of knowledge. The Amer
lean family must be impoverished in
deed that does not subscribe for at least
one newspaper. No true American can
pass the day without consulting a news
paper-even though poverty compel
him to borrow his neighbours.
THE ENGLISH PARLIAMENT.
There are no desks for the members
in the houses of parliament. If they de
sire to write, they must imprOyise a
place on their knees or on the top of a
tall hat. The French chambers and the
American senate and house are vastly
superior in this respect. Moreover, there
are not seats enough in the house of
commons for the accommodation of all
the members. On important days there
is a regular scramble for them. The first
who comes is the first and best served.
He indicates his choice by leaving his
hat in the seat. 1t looks extremely odd
to see, as is sometimes the case before
the commencement of proceedings and
while the members are in the lObbieS
talking, the seats filed with hats.

Yokohama Cor. of the San Francisco Chronicle.
One curious custom In vogue is the exhibition
Of a fish on every house where boy has been
born to the family during the year. This show
ing is made during the month of May, and on the
5th Of that month there is q high festival held;
the relatives and friends Of the family making it
the occasion Of presenting gifts aud toys suitable
for boys, as well as giving clothing fitting for the
little chap. All sorts of childs gear is to be seen
on exhibition at this time. and no bow Ia

the girl world are lavishly displayed There is
very much Of pride exhibited In both of these
child festivals, as the gifts presented are osten-

horses, with full suits of trappings-in fact,
every imaginable thing that goes into the make
up Of the Japanese warrior Of the olden time
are on parade on the 5th Of May; while the Sd
Of March brings forth all that Is representative

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1882-07-29
statement of the comparative cost of star servic,
in the Pacific section under Brady and now:



1t is in this section that the routes lie on
which Brady, Dorsey and others are now on
trial; and glance at the enormous reductions
shown by this table is sufficient. The Dorseys,
it appears from other returns had 1874 routes at
pay on lettings under Brady Of Sl43, 1869, and
these were raised" by Brady in three years to
$685., S08. The whole service in Wyoming Ter
ritory was let On July ], 1882, for PSI, 524 but
single route under Brady cost S100, 165. That is
to say, it now costs S4S,64l less to carry the
whole star service in Wyoming than a single
route was made to cost under Brady. Again, q
single route in Montana cost under Brady
$76, 999; but the whole service in the whole Ter
ritory OF Montana costs for this year. with an
increased population, only s10.500 more than
Brady paid for this single route.
Such reductions in the cost of the service,
without impairing Its efficiency, tell their own
story: They speak, in every item, Of reckless
and shameless corruption under Brady, and they
reflect the greatest credit ON his honest and
able successor, Mr.. Elmer, as also on Postmaster
General Howe, without whose strong and con-
slant support Mr.. Elmer would not have been
able to carry out the reforms he had made in
service which under Brady had become corrupt,
demoraliZed and inefficient.
