RECENT POSTOFFiCE RULINGS,
Decisions Regarding Certain Third
and Fourth Glass Matter-COA-
Iaints FROM Indian Territory.

The postofiice department has
ruled that where third and fourth
class matter is mailed and directed to
a distant locality not postoffice mad
ver.entlv put ia the mails, and carried
away from the office of mailing, such
matter Will be returned and return
postage charged when the return re-
quest is found upon the wrapper. The
claim has been set up by parsons in
terested that such matter should rot
have been sent out from the postotlice
where it was mailed, but should have
been returned to the sender for better
directions. The department holds,
however, that the sender should suf-
fer for his own neglect in not proper
ly addressing the matter.
The p0stotiice department is in re-
ccipt of 3 number of inquiries relative
TO the operation Of the executive order
made by President Grant in 1872 for
bidding federal officials to hold state
or municipal offices representations
are made that many OF the newly APP
pointed poStmasters are members of
boards of supervisors and aldermen,
o. hold other small municipal offices
that do not make heavy demands
upon their time, and pay little or no
salary. In such cases, where the
municipal office does not interfere
with the duties of the postmaster, it is
urged that the executive order mlght
be repealed.
COMPLAINTS
are being received at the postotfice
department from Indian Territory of
the workings Of the recent decision Of
Atty. Gen Garland to the feet that
Indians are not eligible to appoint
ment to pOstmasters Many OF the
Indian postmasters at the rs offices in
the territory, who are reputed to be
intelligent. educated men, nave sent
IN their resignation, in compliance
with that ruling. In some places it
is found to be impossible 10 secure
white men who are eligible azd at the
same time competent TO fill these
Offices, and it is feared that the service
may be disastrously effected through
the enforced diseontinuance of some
important postmasterS.

NEW SENATORIAL HOUSES.
Handsome Homes for Statesmen in
Washington GUY.
New York World.

There has been q good deal of build
ing in washington during the Sum-
mer> Every year some one Of the
Senators adds house to the number
of fine buildings ia the northwest part
of the city. 1t is the theory of most
Senators that a Senator should keep
house. 1t is considered more dlgni6s
ed, and it is held that a Senator can
better represent his State IN home of
his own in Washington than in
boarding house or a hotel. He is
harder te reach and lives in more
dignifed seclusion. Some of the Sena-
tors have built too fine houses, and
that fact has been used against them
ia their campaigns. Two Senators
have built new houses durisg the last
Summer.
The handsomest Is that of Senator
Palmer, of Michigan. 1t is now just
completed. 1t is upon X street, fac
ing Mcpherson Square. 1t has front
of brown stone and is four stories
above the basement. 1t was planned
by Emerson, of New York, and will
cost, W hen completed, in the neighbor-
hood Of 100000. tits very elaborate
ly finished inside in hard wood. The
house contains nine bathrooms
Every bedroom has its own bath
room. Senator Palmer is q very rich
man and can well afford to build such
a house. He has always said that ne
was not anxious TO remain in public
life, but the building of this very
elaborate and solid house looks very
much as if he expected to remain IN
Washington.
The second Senatorial house is that
Of Senator Edmunds Of Vermont.
The house is situated upon the corner
of Twenty first street and Msssacha-
sets avenue. 1t is about two blocks
away from the Blaine house, whlca
fronts upon Dupont Circle. THIS
house is peculiar ia its architecture
as its owner in his methods OF dong
business. The house costs $50, OOs
but it is very modest and unassumlng
in its appearance. 1t is style OF
house which will be appreciated by
Senators and members. The basement
is diveded into a large Office and al
anteloom, SO that business callers
upon Mr.. EdmHnds can see him with,
out entering his house. The second
floor is really the first floor OF tne
house The wine>room is also ne4l
to the office, while the kitchen IS Ii
the back part Of The house. II Is a
model house in every way, and is u
keeping with the Senator's means ana
business.

Tho Turner worsted Mills.

AT Kent yesterday the editor OF the
DEMOCRAT made call at the far.famed
"Turner Worsted Mills," and was cour.
teously received and greeted by MIR.
Weir, one Of the company. The mills
manufacture mostly ladies dress goods,
which are very popular and have for
years met with q ready sale. The com.
pany run o hundred and fourteen power
looms, and employ one hundred and
thirty persons, male and female, old
and young. Joseph Turner, an English
manufactures, was tho founder, and
since his death, four years ago, the fam.
lily have continued the business. The
family consist OF the mother, three soma
and two daughters, one Of the latter be.
ing the wife OF our friend Weir. The
meeting OF Mr.. Weir yesterday was q re-
yival OF early Scottish recollections, for
his father and tho writer were OF the
same age, and attended our fathers
school In the old land. In course OF
time the elder Weir got q position In q
large manufacturing establishment In
Ireland, where no died about two years
ago. On q visit years ago 10 our native
town he learned our address, and sent us
o long and we'll written letter. The corre-
spondence thus began continued from
time TO time, and the eon now nj Kent
also took q hand after arriving In this
country some I've years ago. We hope
70 pay another visit 10 the "Turner
WoTsted Mills" In the near future,
when more time will enable us 10 learn
moro Of its history.
