ANOTHER NEW POSTAL PLAN.
n. 7. sun.

One section of the poStoffice appropri-
alton bill, as submitted for the action of
the house, provides for the special and
immediate local delivery by message of
letters to which are affixed special ten
cent stamps, in addition to the regular
postage.
The argument in favor Of the proposed
special delivery is that letters received at
the offices after the carriers start out on
their trips must now remain till the next
trips, while letters received after six
o'clock at night must remain in the Office
until the next morning. This fact has
caused private dispatch companies to be
established in large cities, and these divert
large source of income from the depart
ment. 1t is urged that the cost of en-
ploying messseger boys at the postofilces
would be more than made up by the ex-
tray receipts for the immediate delivery
stamps.
Nevertheless the very statement of this
case shows that the proposed special serS
vice is not necessity. There exists sub
stitutes for it, carried on by private en-
terprise, and now well known to nearly
everybody. In general, public policy is
against increasing the number of govern
ment employees without a clear gain in
prospect, or clear necessity for the in
crease. But the great objection to the
new plan Is that the service of the gov
eminent ought always to be based on the
principle of being equal for ALL 1t is
true that the registered letter system
makes discrimination, giving greater
degree of safety on the payment of an
additional fee to cover the extra cost
But the special transmission of money or
documents of unusual value through the
mails is business transaction involving
some considerations different from
that of sending ordinary let
tiers with a greater or less degree of
promptness. The real difficulty is that per-
haps unconsciously, or by almost lmper-
ceptible degrees, there might be an undue
devotion of official resources and energy
toward the quick despatch system, to the

TIE suspense about the fate of General
Gordon, who 80 long miiutained the
British flag in Khartoum under extraorr
binary difficulties, is painful to civilized
people of whatever country. The pres
vailing opinion among army officers ap-
pears to be that Gordon is dead An
other theory is that Ell Mahdi was ambi-
tious to capture the English general alive
and inflict revengeful and barbarious
treatment. Still another theory is that
FL Mahdi would see that it was to his in>
tcrest to treat Gordon well. The news
from Khartoum is far from complete but
the best impression is that the capture
was effected through treachery and saw
agery. England appears to be preparing
to retrieve her fortunes in the SOudan,
and heavy military operations may be
looked for.

Almost every American well-to do family
that travels abroad returns with one or more
foreign servants. Maid servants are most in
favor, for American ladies find it difficult in
this country to secure young women who are
willing to wait on them, dress their hair AMI
perform other personal services. American
girls who Give out" have not the submit ;sige-
ness of the foreign trained body servants.
They resent any appearance of authority,
nor are they as well trained as foreign serv
ants in those personal attentions that add to
the comfort of woman'S life. Then il is
often an advantage to have a girl in family
who can speak French or German q they
help in educating the children into the nys-
teries Of foreign language. Many men
servants are also brought over, but they 10
not stay with their employers for 81 long 4
time as do the maids and governesSes hired
abroad. The latter find it mora difficult TO
change their employmenti, and girls at serv-
ice do not marry so readily as young women
who receive their company at home or who
work in shops
Domestic service in these modern times is
disorgani5ed, because ministering to the
wants of another human being is regarded As
aland degrading. IL should Not be 80 con
sidered Adding to the comfort and minis
tering to the necessities of others should be

personal comfort Of the knight they served,
'To whit on kingly or noble person was Il

than oneself is among the chiefest and most
useful virtues; but reverence and respect for
others is dying oct in America, and so our
servants are drawn in great part from classes
trained in European ways of thinking,

One Of the arrivals at the Palmer was
man from Portland, Ore. who was on the
train that was snow-bound for three weeks
He said it was bitter experience
The only joke during the entire twenty
ons days" said he was perpetrate1 by an
Old farmer from Umatilla who looked mean
emo ,gh to poison. TIE passengers grumbled
continually. Theg were cold, didn't have
enough TO eat, wanted more whisky and to-
baccu, thought their blankets were too thin,
swore That the railroad company wasn't try
ing to get them out, said that the cars were
poor the locomotives weak the snowplows
helpless, and the trainmen uncivil; thought
that there WIS no excuse FOR getting
stuck between two stations in snow ffty-five
feet deep, aud many other things. After
we'd been there more than two weeks pretty
nigh buried in the snow we held meeting
to express our Indignation. We had a lot OF
resolutions denounclng everybody connected
with the road, tine people in the neighboring
towns, the management of the telegraph and
the United States government. When the
secretary read them they seemed to give
great satisfaction to all but the old farmer
He got up on one Of the seats in the smoking
car, and said:
al move to amend that ere document by
inserting the words, and we further de
nounce the Lord Almighty for sending more
snow at one time than we can take care of. :"
"He seemed NIGHTLY in earnest about it,
and finally we began to see the folly of the
whole business and adjourned without pass
ing any resolutions at all"
