I find circulated in number of newspapers that
r. R. Shel secured situations in telegraph offices for
e. B. Mundy and Joseph Mundy, of this place;
that he induced them to fill vacancies caused by the
strike. All l wish to give you the facts, which

dangerously sick at this place. tele-
graphed to Mr. Shiel at Indianapolis that
his brother was at the point of DEATH Mr. Shie came
up at once to visit his sick brother. His brother
rallied little from the attack and Mr.. Shiel
returned to Indianapolis. c. b. Mundy returned to
Indianapolis on the train. He returned to the
Western Union telegraph Office where ne had been
working. heard nothing mentioned by r. r. Shel
From my intimacy with Mr.. Mundy and
Mr.. Shel, if any transaction between them
in relation to telegraph operators had
been spoken of, would most certainly
have become acquainted with the matter. The fact
that Mr.. Mundy and Mr.. Shiel returned the same
train merely aecden tai and not arranged between
the parties The absorbing question at that time was
the critical condition of Mr. Shells brother.
In the fore part of August 1888, again teegaphed

SENATOR HAwLEY, of Connect
cut, lie a civil service reformer in
theory only. He entertains rather
queer ideas in regard to practical
reform. For instance, he says the
bill to make the payment, by an
employees Of the government, of a
political assessment a penal offense
would be shameful and absurd, in
that il would abridge the liberty OF
the citizen. The reason why the
proposed law was ca led for is found
in the very general belief that it
was necessary to protect the citizen
in the enjoyment Of his rights. No
citizen will complain that he has
been deprived OF any right in being
denied the privilege Of standing and
delivering to the Jay Rubbells when
he knows that to refuse will cost
him his Office.

NEWSPAPER POSTAGE.

The other day our dispatches con
tanned an address by the Western
Associated Press to Congress askir g
an amendment to the postal law
with reference 10 transient news.
papers. The postage Oh such papers
is one cent for two ounces, Or frsc-
tion thereof. This is toe high, being
out of all pro- ortiOn with the two
cent letter postage; bat the chief
complaint is not against the rate.
If the paper turns the scale
above the two ounces, 1t is
thrown into ths WASTE basket
and is forfeited to Government,
The law does not permit of its being
forwarded to its destination as is
done in the case of under paid LETT
tiers. The consequence is that
very large percentage Of the tram
sient papers never go beyond the
Office in which they are Deposited.
People wonder why SO many of the
papers they put into the mail fail to
reach those to whom they are ac.
dressed, and the postoffice officials
are blamed for stealing them,
whereas the officials are simply obey
ing the law in confisc .ting the
packages. There is general belief
that newspaper postage is one cent,
regardless of weight, whereas two
cents are required on many Of the
newspapers. One cent is sufficient
for an ordinary copy of THE HER
AID, eight pages, but two cents are
necessary to carry copy Of the
SUNDAY HERALD or of an issue
containing supplement. Whether
or not the postage tate is reduced
the law should be amended 60
ss to require the forwarding
Of papers upon which one post,
age has been paid, the balance
OF the postage to be collected
from the receiver of the package, as
is done in the case of letters. There
ought also to be general reduction
of newspaper postage. The circula-
ton of newspapers is the dissemina-
ton Of information, and therefore
should be encouraged by Govern
ment.

SOME OF the party organs have

the country in regard to the Presi-
Dental question, and some queer
results are obtained. Fortunately
these private ballots don't count in
an election, nor can they be re.
garded as indicative of the popular
wish in the premises It is alleged
that leading Indiana Democrats who
were questioned with reference to
their preferences, responded as fol-
lows: In favor of Mcdonald,
1855; in favor OF Payne, of
Ohio, for first choice, 46S; for
second choice, 1,1ss; in favor of
Hendricks, 19.-This is simply rid-
iculous, for Hendricks is something
of an idol in Indiana. In
the same State 5000 active
Republicans were Intercepted
in regard to their choice, and so per
cent. declared themselves in favor
of Blaine, the remainder being
equally divided between Logan and
Arthur. The Republican members
Of the Massachusetts Legislature
being polled on the same subject,
showed the following: For Ed

NOTWITHsTANDINd THE enorIs
Of THE HERALD to suppress the In

Of our esteemed friend, Governor

Springer, the latter gentleman, II
seems, will Persist In going ahead
with the business. If Mr.. Springer
believes that he is going to prove
that our handsome Eli did anything
wrong he is doomed to woeful dis.
appointment, for it is a well known
fact that Murray is incapable OF
wrong-doipg. He was reared in
Kentucky and has been en-
dorsed by Kentuckians, which two
circumstances should satisfy any
reasonable person CT eminent purity
not only of heart but of action.
But Mr.. Springer will keep on with
his vain search. His latest discov-
cry, which everybody will see at q
glance is of no consequence, is pre-
sented to the readers of the Chi.

telegram from Washington:
Mr.. Springer hss in his possession the
original lie ter written three years ago by
commissioner of Internal Revenue
Evans, then q private citizen Of Ken
tucky, denouncing the malfessspce in
office OF Governor Eli Murray, of Utah,

marshal of Kentucky. Mr.. Evans says
he can prove thai on one occasion Mr..
Nat McOsrd, against whom a process

ray made out claim against the govern
ment for services alleged to have been per-
formed, including mileage, railway fare,
expenses of guard, ETC., amounting 10
eighty.odd dollars. This he fwors to
and collected the money. Referring to
Gov. Murrsy's administration in Utah,
Springer said: Il received to-day let
ter from q Mr.. James Battison, who
claims to have been an officer in the 9th
Illinois regiment during the war. He
says that . man who had been sentenced
to the territorial prison for q term of
years on the chs-ge OF murder and rob-
berry was pardoned ~ Murray . few
months after committsl. When Mr..
Battison, as q member of the com
munity where these deeds were enacted,
protested against the mans liberation,
Murray replied that he was under great
obligations to friend Of the prisoner,
and that the influence brought to bear in
bis behalf was such that he could not re.

the prisoner WIS guilty, but seemed TO
think there wss more merit in his repay
