The wind was blowing lightly from the

building of the mill. which soon became

saw tn It the mill must be consumed
and dire cted their attention to keeping
the fire from spreading, and by strenu-
Gus efforts confined the conhagration
to the mill proper and the adjoining
tramways. At 1 o'clock the mill was
in ruins. 1t was located at the extreme
south end of the city, and was the

FOREIGN MAIL SERVICE.
Much has been said about employ
ing the postal appropriation to aid the
American Commerce When Congress
shall desire to invest the Postoffice
Department with care for that object,
IL can not be doubted it will easily
choose language which will plainly
convey the purpose and impose the
duty. UatiI then, that department
can not rightfully employ the moneys
appropriated for the postal service to
sc scure objects not entrusted in its care
however merltorious in themselves.
1t may be properly further observed
of this, that during many years the
practice of granting pecuniary aid to
American lines was pursued at great
a cost, and to SO little advantage that
it was long since wholly abandoned; :;
that when followed, Congress hao di-
rected il, and if that body designed its
renewal, presumably it would again
have declar the parpose But the
policy of subsIdizing American steam
ship companies or any OF them is not
involved IN The decision arrived at.
That pertains to Congress instead OF
he department and therefore the de-
partment can only award the com
pens ttion and then stop If exiger
cIrs may arise to Istify its adoption,
it seems to balong to that body to
recognize Their existence and prescribe
the object and amount of the grant.
No exigency exists for the establish
ment of any new lines to carry the
mails. Those nov OF the sea as com
mon carriers are sufficient for the
present need, OF the foreign mail ser
vic, They appear to have maintain
ed themselves for years without gov
ernment bounty in profitable pursuit
