The times are indeed hard when economy in
the use of postage stamps lis universal enough
to affect the revenues of the Post Office Depart

the large deficit is mainly due to economy and
hard times
Mr.. Chambers reply to Mr.. Garland's opinion
about the Dolphin will be found to be enter
tanning reading. The ex-Secretiry Is not able
to entertain high estimate OF Mr. Garland's
reasoning, since in one paragraph the latter
holds that speed of fifteen knots was guaran-
teed by the contract with Mr.. Roach, while In
another he says that it was not guaranteed. and
therefore, that the contract was void fro.a the

the importation of detectives was necessary {;
but the authorities themselves are responsible
for the situation. In view of the inactivity of
the Mayors and the police OF other places, in
Chicago and Cleveland for example, it is not to
be wondered at that the Saginaw people pre-
pared to make their own defence, and an
effective one, too. Possibly it was that same
effectiveness which the Bay City Aldermen OBJ
jected to.
We have not yet heard that the Administra-
ton has announced its irresponsibity for the
appointment of that physical wreck" Gen.
eral Black, as head of the Pension Office; but IN
view of the facts which daily come to light
concerning him and his official acts, it will be
strange, indeed, If the President does not
speedily want to throw the responsibility for
