1t is said reach conclusions which if adopt
Cd viii require the expenditure of $1,000
900. The commission is said to be of the
opinion tha1 the delivery of mail matter
at both intermediate and terminal points
in railroads should be in charge Of the gov
eminent. At present the mail matter is
delivered by the railroad company at ter
minal points at a distance within one
mile of tie stations, and at intermediate
poin.s to within forty rods of stations. If
the pOstoffices are outside these limits the
government pays the difference in the cost
of transportation. The argument upon
which this recommendation will be based,
Is made, is thai mails will be safer in the
hands Of government agents. Al present
the mails are delivered by depot hands,
without cost to the government. No seri-
Gus complaints, however, have been made
OF the loss of mail matter in the hands of
employees of railroad companies.

TERRITORIAL OFFICERS.
Officers of the interior department say
that the president long ago entered upon
the policy of appointing to the Offices in
the territories only residents of the terri
tlries if it had been possible for
the inhabitants TO agree upon the candid
dates. This, said one of the
interior department officials, has been
found to be impossible, and the president,
in order not to have the Offices 60 vacant,
has frequently been compelled to resort to
non-residents, while the factions in the ter
ritories were wrangling over their ambi-
tions and riYalries. The interior depart
ment officials say that there is no valid
ground for complaints against most of the
territorial Offices.
