Postmaster's Pickings.

Bloomington, Ills, 24.-The At
torney>General of the United States
recently decided that postmasters
are not entitled to fees for money
orders in postoffices ia which the
money order business is done by a
clerk instead of by the postmaster
in person, and that any such fees
taken by the postmaster must be
returned. The amount of money
already taken by postmasters in
this way is estimated at quarter to
half million. In order to get a
definite ruling in this matter, the
case of General Dick, postmaster at
Bloc mington, has been made a test
case, to be decided by Judge Dram
mond, Of the federal court of Chi
cage. P0stm ssters similarly Situ~
ated have been appealed to, and are
responding with the funds.

At the last meeting of the
Board of Supervisors, sitting as
a Board of Equalization, many OF
our taxpayers were raised in
their assessments, and some in
unreasonable amounts. The pro-
ceedings of the board do not show
by whom complaint was made,
nor does it show what taxpayers
were complained of as to their
taxation, yet an official notice has
been served upon those whom
they propose TO raise. This GER
tainly seems strange, when the
record OF thei: proceedings show
nothing of the kind, as the law
requires that all the proceedings
OF the board shall be recorded
and published. Another new
feature too, is that they have adj

FIRE At YUMA {!
The s. p. Z. R. Co.'S Freight
House and Four Loaded
Cars Destroyed.
LOSS $500 900.

A gain comes another disaster
TO the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company, as it seems that trouble
never comes alone. About 7.30
p, M. Tuesday night, the cry of
fire was heard, and everybody
rushed to the railroad depot,
where they found the cars and
freight house enveloped in flames.
The origin of the fire was acct
dental, 1t appearing that one Of
the employees in ii freight car
turned over a lamp. the car hav-
ing been loaded with compost
ton of naptha and India rubber,
the floor being saturated with oil,
and being highly imfiammable
substance, the fumes of this nap
thariDe suddendly caught and at
once the cars were in q blaze. In
less than one hour the freight
house and the Lambie office were
in moulderlng ruins. All the
employees Of the company were
On hand and the citizens of Yuma,
who with stout hearts and willing
hands, rendered all available aid,
which was principally directed in
saving the cOmpany's Offices and
the Southern Pacific Hotel, which
was saved by heroic work and
the fortunate current of the wind.
The steamer Gila and barge
were at the landing a small dis.
lance from the fire, hut by prompt
energy of Supt. Polhamus and
Capt. Joe Godfrey, they were i'm
mediately crossed to the depot on
the California side of the Colo
RADIO. The freight house contain.
ed considerable freight and the
four cars were loaded from the
East. G. X Lamhie's office i'm.
mediately adjoining the depot
was also destroyed, with its little
nestle-work of trees and vines.
The engine attached 70 the freight
house suffered, too, the fire fate.
The company's fire engine under
the management of Johnnie Row.
er and Frank Smith was soon
on hand and with their prompt
forces, suhdued the fire. The
bucket brigade did good work
between fire and water. The en-
tire loss will be over 100000.
The freight building was SUBJ
stantial structure, 100 feet by 35
feet, and was built in the Fail of
1877. After the fire anothe r scene
of activity was had. here and
there scores of men seeking the
relics of the fire, employees re-
moving the debris and carpenters
preparing for construction. A
temporary platform has been built
to answer the purpose of ware.
house and side tracks have been
laid from the carpenter shop to
the river edge at the steamers
landing. The travel goes on as
usual, but the transfer of freight
is but a temporary suspension of
a few days. The company's agent
here, Major g. w. Railton is al
ways on hand supplying the en-
ployeesand passengers with every
facility and kindness.
Within 40 hours after the fire,
the forces of the company had
all the debris cleaned off, tracks
repaired. inclines built, tempo
rary covered platform for freight
and offices, allowing of 9 hours
waiting for lumber. During the
fire there was an explosion of %
lbs of giant powder stored in the
Roadmaster's Office, scattering
tools and sending into the air
large sledge hammer, weighing
10 pounds. Fortunately no ac-
cident happened.

The candid truth is that the
republican dudes bulldozed the
democrats into nominating Cleve-
land. The Boston Herald, the
recognized organ of the Massa-
chusetts independents, in recent
issue said:
II he (Cieveland) is not nominated
it will be for no other reason than
that the democratic party does
not want an honest reformer in
the White house, And il that is
its position independent voters
will not aid il.
The Democratic platform about
which so much noise isjust now
being made has copied much
from the Republican platform
and now our Democratic friends
are claiming the doctrines of the
same as radeeming virtues of
their own party. For instance the
doctrine of general suffrage in
the Territory, first promulgated
by the Republican press of Ari-
IONA and now plank in the Re-
publican platform.
