Stocks were dull. The fluctuations as

the heavy selling by room traders,

Western Union in the early part Of
the day, and Louisville & Nashville was
conspicuously strong on buying for for

the market was attributed to the efforts

ISLAND FoND. 5ANuARr -, 4aso.

Congressman Grout Of this, sec
ond district of Vermont, proposes
to introduce a measure for the ulti-
mate success Of which he has strong
hopes, and which he believes will be
as important a step in the direction
of civil service reform as was the
adoption of the civil service act.
His proposition IS that no person
shall be appointed as n postmaster
of the fourth class except upon the
Endorsement of majority of the
voters of the vicinity for which the
postoflice is provided. Mr.. Grout
claims that that this plan would
prevent Office brokerage, would null
lily the influence of the fourth class
postoilices in Presidential and Con-
gressional elections, and would Sc
cure the appointment of persons
satisfactory TO the patrons of the
postoifices. The fourth class post
Offices are in his opinion not only
the Federal appointments which
come nearest to the people, but are
the most demoralizing clement i'll
politics, and are at present filled by
the worst and most irresponsible
mode of appointment. The APP
polntments recently made to fourth
class poStofices in his opinion pre-
sent unanswcrablc arguments i'll IA
vor Of some better system; the ap-
pointing power protesting to be
governed to some extent by popular
petition under the present system.
the principle involved in his plan
is virtually conceded. The present
system Of procuring petitions IS
however, imperfect, frequently
abused and subject to misrepresenta-
ton and deception. Mr.. Circuit pro.
poses that popular mass meetings be
held at fourth class po9totiices upon
the expiration of the term of a post
master, or the creation Of q vacancy
and that a nomination be made and
approved by majority of the vot
crs who are patrons of the Office
Mr.. CIRCUIT is in doubt as to wheth
or his proposition will nccossitate
constitutional amendment or cal
lie accomplished by a bill. liz
does not regard it as taking the ap
pointing power from the Postmaa
ter General, inasmuch as that oiheia
will have discretion to reject the
nomination made by q majority o

insist upon new names if he sees tit

Potato STARCH FRAUDS.

eminent Discovered at Chicago.


The starch manufacturers of New
England will be greatly interested
in the investigation which the Treas,

into the alleged importations of
vast quantities of potato starch at
Chicago duty free, invoiced as far

ceeded in having the duty on starch
raised, as 1t was found that it was
difficult to compete with imported
starch. Notwithstanding the in,
crease of the duty it has lately been
discovered that potato starch
shipped from Chicago was sold in
Eastern cities at from three to four
cents per pound, while the cost Of
producing the starch, including a
reasonable profit, with the addition
of the Government tax, aggregates
five cents per pound. Some two
months ago Secretary Manning re,
ceived information from New York
which satisfied him that inquiries
should be made as to the charges OF
undewaluation in starch. 1t was
discovered that thousands of pounds
of what was believed to be potato
starch, upon which the duty is two
cents per pound, was received at
Chicago inventoried as farina OF
root -four. One establishment il
Chicago is said to have monopoly
of the trade, and acted as distribu
tors of this starch. The Eastern
starch manufacturers sent compe
tent man to Chicago to investigate
With some difficulty he succeeded
in purchasing a lot Of the farinf
flour which came in duty free. Sam
pies were submitted to Eastern
chemists, who pronounced the arti
Gle pure potato starch Of the finest
quality. Some Of the samples were
used in a laundry and furnished c

this agent were reported to the
Treasury. Secretary Manning i'm
mcdiately sent one of the most ex
perienced agents in the service, Col
John d. Peck, to Chicago to inves

shows, it is said, that millions o.
pounds of this starch have been i'm
ported at Chicago duty free, ant

throughout the country. In every

shipments received as farina fou
were sold as potato starch. 1'h,
