ASSISTANT POSTMASTER STEVEN
SONS MS, R Ld I2, WORK II CONCERT

The appointment of Stevenson as Assist
ant Postmaster General has done more to
modify Democratic dissatisfaction in the
west than any appointment which has
been made by the Administration. Mr..
Stevenson has gone rapidly to work max
ing changes, and will continue to so do.
It can be said upon high official authority
that the President will not interfere in
any way with Mr.. Stevenson. The latter
is very experienced politician, thor
oughly familiar with dealing with public
men, and is to-day much more of power
than the chief of the department, Mr..
Villas, could ever hope to be. Public men
are so dissatisfied with the Postmaster
General that they turn with relief to the
practical First Assistant, who has appar-
emily as unlimited and arbitrary power
as even the Postmaster General himself.
In fact he has more than Mr. Villas had at
the outset of the Administration. Mr..
Villas has repeatedly said that he has no
authority to make even the smallest APP.
pointments without referring the case TO
the President. The president has given
up examining all of the papers in the
small post-office cases, so that Mr.. Steven
son can go ahead with free and uninter-
rupted swing. AS Mr.. Stevenson is not
at all timid in making use of his oppor-
tunities, the demand for change through
out the back districts is becoming in a
measure satisfied. The post-oflices mean
more to the rank aud file of the party
than any of the other places. The voters
in the country know nothing and care
less about the prominent places. But
the post.offie is generally the headquar-
tiers for political gathering, and therefore
when the election went to the Democrats
it was very wearing to the average voter
to find that the Republican post-masters
still kept their places. Washington Dis
patch to N. Y. World.

AT the meeting of the Board of
Freeholders last Wednesday in this place
to decide what kind of q bridge should
be built on the eastern border of our
town, on the Bap tisttown road, the de-
cision was made by vote of Is to to
erect an iron stringer bridge 80 feet
span and % feet wide. Uncle Robert
commended vehemently for double arch
stone bridge and on our streets waxed
eloquent to that effect but it appeared
to be the opinion Of the major part of
the citizens who were disposed to ex.
press their views that the stringer bridge
would be the desirable thing at that
point. The Board dined at the National
Hotel. -Frenchtown "Star," 9th inst.

The ten-mile race on roller skates at
the Pennington Rink, last Thursday
night, between Bernie G. Volk, of Flem-
ington, and Chas. Wehrly, of Somerville,
was won by the latter by one lap, in fifty
one minutes and ten seconds. Mr.. Volk IS
skates had been newly fixed with rubbers
and they worked stiff and stubborn and
finally threw him, thus allowing Wehrly
to get the lead, which he maintained to
the finish. AT the close of this race the
pool match between John H. Stockton, of
Pennington, and w. o. Lcudenberger, of
Glen Gardner, resulted in the success of
the latter, who thus retains the medal
won in the first contest last May.
