WORK FOR P0STMASTERS.
.,.srsNCEs WHERE THEY MAY

-.-, ComDensation Dependent on the
Iss.,rce from which the Assistant
n-syvs his Salary-ROscoe OonklIng
nontes the Authenticity OF an Alleged
,tsrsiev-OiViI Service Commits
aouers'
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-It VIII be re-
-.,obered that the postmaster at Muncie,
rn3 recently wrote the Postmaster Gem
.-s1 complaining that inasmuch as he
.,old Get no other boy to do it fer the
money paid, he had to keep bis own son
ort Of school in order to perform the i'm
medi8te delivery service OF his town. In
mis- case the Postmaster General has
made a decision which is equally applica-
Mo to all small towns where
Se he same difficulty in getting mes
s5noer bows is experienced. il is
totoe effect that in such cases the post
master himself, his deputy, or his clerk
nav nprtorm the service. If the deputy
rclerk is paid a regular salary out of the
oilowance made to the postmaster for ex-
nsnses the nOstm aster viii receive no ex-
ira allowance for tue immediate delivery
saryice rendered, but # the deputy or clerk
isngid out ofthe pOstmaster's own pocket
tban the government will pay the post
master 5 eight cents for each letter so de-
lgered.
Combines DENIAL.
Roscoe Conkling repudiates the alleged
ntaryiew with him published in the New
FORK san today criticising Davenport,
Blaine and Everitt. Parts of it are true,
Ne saws, and parts false, and the parts
mat are true were uttered in private con-
ysrsati0n. He expressly says that the
mart in relation to Blaine is manufac-
ured. 81 never refer to Blaine," he says,
81 am done with him."
CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSIONERS.
The President wants to name DOrman
B. Eaton's successor in the civil service
commission before Nov. l, but he has not
vet selected the man. His idea IS under
stood to be to name beth Eaton's and
qhoman's successors at once, leaving DIR.
Gregory to hold over for time until the
other members become acquainted with
their duties. But he fnds it a larger
problem than appears on the face. He
naturally desires to please the Democrats
ln the selection Of two members, and the
Republicans in taking one from
their party; but, more than
mat, he feels the need of
otaining the right kind of men, and
hat is hard to do. The salary, $500 a
year, will not attract really able men in
itself, and the criticism launched at the
commission, and the contempt secretly
ielt towards 1t by leading men in both
PARTIES, together deter men with polit-
cal aspirations from taking the position.
lae President is honestly trying to bit on
3 trio who would be above suspicion
from the opponents Of the reform, but the
number OF such men who would accept
he position appears TO be lamentably
snail. Only one real candidate has yet
appeared who has proper Endorsements rs,
Prot Smart, Of Indiana, and so the Presi-
cent is left pretty much to pick out his
selection at will.

A Low Rate of Discount Unable TO
Attract Many Borrowers.
LONDON, Dot. 25.-The low rate Of dis
count still fails to attract borrowers who,
in consequence OF the uncertainty Of fu-
ture politics, trade and finance, which
still weakens public confidence, see no
prospect OF employing money at immedi-
ate or prospective profit. Large quaint :
ties of American bills are being offered
on account Of recent English purchases
OF American securities. Three months
bank bills are quoted ut a, trade bills at
ia, call money at y. The recent drain
of gold from the Bank Of England is ex-
peoted TO result in a rise OF the bank rate
discount this week, but no equivalent ad-
vance in outside rates is expected.

unstable equilibrium OF the Liberal party,
says: ''The Liberals will doubtless win in
the coming elections, but their victory

SPRINGFIELD, Jan. IS. -9Two-thirds of the

usually employees 1900 hands, but has been
in very unsatisfactory condition for some
time, employing only 600 hands since Sep
tember. This leaves only 200 in employ.
ment after this week. Numerous petty

charged employees, and incendiary speeches

sired, while those of the striking brakemen
who chose to work will be reinstated by the
company, and will not be discharged fol
their participation in the strike.
The strike was given up because the mem

to strike, and who gave them promise OF
moral and financial support failed to do so.

NY. Correspondent to Boston Paper.

Men who build tenement houses, as rule,
are as fond of money as the rest OF us. One
of them said to me the other day that a
South American friend of his had written
him concerning tlfe investment of a large
amount Of money, and had, in response to a
request for advice, suggested that he should
build tenement houses, from which the
largest possible return would be received.
Continuing, he said: 81 have all kinds of
tenants, very rich, medium, and very poor.
I would Infinitely prefer always tC deal with
the poorest, who are compelled to be content
with what they have, and whose very exis-
tence is the best guarantee for prompt pay
ment of comparatively large rents. They
never. complain of ventilation, of light, Of
plumbing, of a thousand and one things
which men accustomed to comforts insist
upon. Fhey take what they pay for, and are
glad to get it," In other words, experienced
capitalists understand that a huge tenement
house in which can be packed from so to 100
families is certain not to exceed minimum
sum for annual repairs.
The news from Fall River is discouraging,
so is that from Lowell and from all the coal
and iron states, whilein the southern coun-
try discomfort, grumblings and murmurings
are the rule, soon, perhaps, TO be the ruin.,
Vanderbilt was asked the other day why
these people were discharged. His reply
was, that it was part of his system" !"
Well, that is all right, but how about the
system of the men that were. discharged? !?
Suppose they operate on system9 We have
had railroad wars before which made the
country lurid from end to end. We have
had railway strikes which cost millions of
money, many lives and great Inconvenience
and annoyance to the travelling public.
Fortunately for the community and fortun-
ately for theirailread companies, there was
very little system in strikes, and no pro-
gramme for the war; had their been, there is
no telling what the harvest might have been.
