Mail Irregularities.

Complaint has time and again been
to III from subscribers at Hunters

papers. We have written to the author
tiles at Washington and intend to have
this matter corrected. We are informed
that the carrier on this line did not call
for the mail for two or three trips in
succession. Such negligence is out
rageous, and the carrier ought to be re-
moved. We intend to see where the
fault lies before we drop the matter.

FORTY THOUSAND MEN IDLE.

Editor walthers Says There Are That
Many in Chicago Alone-The Cause AND
Remedy.
CHICAGO, December 30.-Chicsgo Union,
No. l, of the International Furniture Work
ers, held meeting yesterday afternoon at
Folz' Hall, corner Of Larrabee street and
North avenue, at which Il. Walthers, editor
of the Illinois Yolks Zeitung, was the prin-
cipal speeker. He promised his speech
with the statement that there are at present
40O0O men unemployed in Chicago. He
then gave what he considered to be the
causes which had brought about this state
of affairs, the principal cause being over
production. he advocated the temporary
reductions of the hours of labor in order
that more men could be employed. He
urged that all trades unite together and
form one brotherhood, for the purpose Of
wiping out individual and corporate capital.
If the desired ends could not be reached in
any other manner he was in favor of revo-
lutionary methods, and the sooner the strug-
gle was over the better. The wage system,
he declared, reduced the workingmau to
the level of slave, and no matter what the
cost it should be abolished.
The president of the union, George
Mahnke, the secretary, W. Stslluecht, and
others, spoke in the same strain, after which
the meeting adjourned. Most of the mem
bers of the union are strong socialists, and
laudly appIauded the speakers when they
advocated that revolutionary methods be
resorted to in order to carry out theis
schemes. No mention was made regarding
dynamite being employed as revolutionary
measure, but one member corfdentially i'm
parted to the reporter that gunpowder and
/ ad was good enough for then.

WASHING
A Republican View of Clsveland's
Letter.

A Republican View of Cleveland's
WASHINGTON, December ga great
deal of comment has been excited here to-
day upon Governor Clevelands civil service
views by the publication of his letter upon
the subject. 1t is the general belief in the
departments, where the greatest interest is
felt, that Cleveland intends disregarding the
civil service law in every instance. where
officers have taken any part in politics be-
yond doing anything more han casting
their ballots, such as contributing to cam
paign funds, delivering speeches, &c. Hence
there is much uneasiness here in official
circles. Another letter OF the same
character would cause panic among
the department clerks, for nearly all Of
them have exceeded Mr.. CIeveland's s
bounds as outlined in his letter, as they in
terpret it. Congressman Wallace, of Ohio,
a well known Democrat, said today "lf /
we're a clerk OF other employe in the gov
ernment service, and had contributed
money to defray campaign purposes or
taken any other part in politics beyond
merely voting, | should be ready to quit my
place soon after the fourth of March l
cannot see anything to give government
employees hope in the letter. On the other
hand there is much, think, that says there
will be- a general wedding out. / now be-
lieye that Cleveland means to make uni
verssl change, and that his excuse for SO
doing will be that employees should not be
poEtiniana "

C. W. Bisld. Explains the Grant Relief
Matters
New YORK, December 30.-Regarding
the Grant subscri ption Cyrus W. Field
said yesterday: 81 am very sorry anything
Of this kind has got to the papers, for there
is nothing in it. Mr.. Hoyt, who has an
office in this building, told me Gen. Grant
was likely to need assistance, and called
on Mr.. Vanderbilt, who said his
cam, wss Sl60900.. but he said, If
you are getting up a subscription to pay
that put me down for 100000 We don't
propose to put our money into sieve and
pay the debts of Grant Il Ward, but what.
ever General Grant needs he will have, and
hat is all there is of it.
The Herald this mesning states posi-
lively that the confession of judgment Of
Mr.. Vanderbilts claim was made at Gen.
e1al Grants suggestion and was measure
OF defense against more clamorous credit
ors.
Mr.. Geoye Jones, proprietor Of the
Times and custodian Of the Grant fund
raised some 20 rs ago. says the late Cover
nor Morgan advised the investment OF that
/. fund in Wabash stock, and on his guaran-
, teeiug return of $4,000 per annum for
ten years from such investment, Mr.. Jones
so placedit. The Morgan estate has regu-
lsrIy paid the $4,000 as guaranteed. The
fund IS absolutely secure, and nets General
Giant $l5,00j ayear.

DEAR SR-In dispatches printed to-day
l find your Washington correspondent
quoted as sending, among other misstate.

reciprocity treaties. THE fact is
the ingenuity of the president to
permanently maintain the issue of wise pro.
lection by removing the tariff on sugar and
compelling the revenue to come from COM
peting foreign manufacturers is so plain to
Mr.. Morrison that he said to your cores
pordent thatno bill carrying such special
Jobs into effect should ever be reported
from the committee, tor he would never
allow suchja bill to be considered while he
was cha rIn; of the Ways and Means Com.
/ do sometimes join in the careless talk
which occurs with correspondents and other
gentlemen about the committee room when
the committee is not in session, but l have
said no more on this subject than lhat legis-
lation 10 carry into effect these treaties
would not be reported by the committee
with my consent or vote as the treaty with
Mexico had already report I'd without my
consent or vote. Respectfully yours,
