Hon. Alexander NJ. Dockery, Of
| Missouri, i'll a speech on the postolice
appropriation bill, recently delivered
in the house, clearly states the case be
tween Postmaster General Villas and
the Pacific Mail Steamship company.
lie proves conclusively that the
action of Mr.. Villas in the matter was
based upon sound Judgment, and com
plctely cXplodes the absurd claim that
the law was mandatory or binding up
on him to disburSe the sum appropri-
ated, whether he deemed the service
required it OF not. On this point Mr..
Dockery quotes from the speech i'll
support of the subsidy by Mr.. Dingley.
of Maine, after whom the bill was
named, and also from Il speech by Mr..
Horr, of Michigan, who had the meas
IRE in charge and was its most yigor-
GUS champion and advocate.
Feb. 10, 1885, Mr. Dinglcy said:
1t is to be observed that there is
nothing in the measure proposed which
requires the postmaster general to pay
a single dollar to an American line of
steamers. He may invite proposals
| for CARRYING the mails by American
steamers to any country that he regards
it proper to do SO. and when he has
received for this service he NAV reject
any and all proposals which in his
| Judgment ii is not for the public inter
| est to accept Ii he cannot obtain
a proposal satisfactory to him he may
send our mails by foreign competing
steamers, or 10y way of England. The
! absolute discretion vested in him in
the foreign as in the domestic mail
! service, limited, however in the case
/ of the foreign service to the maximum
sum of fifty cents per mile and the
| aggregate of 100000, would make
| the PoStmaStCr-Gen master of the
situation in the case of the adoption of
the measure proposed
On March Sd. 1885. Mr.. Horr said:
Every dollar of it is left subject
to his Judgment If he does not think
that the service demands that a con
tract should be made with any vessel
or any route he need not make it
and instead of my friend from Indiana
arraigning democrats here for voting
on this thing, | say to YOU, when YOU
vote against this proposition YOU vote
a lack of confidence in your own Post
master-General, which does not come
with good grace from YOU"
Thus it is seen that the Postmaster
General simply construed the law as
the supporters of the bill expressly de
clared it should be construed.
/ The speech of Mr.. Dockery covers
the whole ground of the controversy
and his position is SO well taken, and
he is SO well fortified with facts. that
he need not fear the attacks of the
champions of the conspiring steamship
combination.

The Wisconsin Tobacco Reporter,
published at Edgerton, Wis, under date
of the 10th inst, SAYS;
The tobacco trade in the state has
been badly handicapped during the
week by the almost impossible con
dition of the country roads. And yet
buyers have been wallowing through
the mud and have altogether purchas-
ed good deal Of tobacco though
probably not 50 much as the week
previous. Something over a quarter
and possibly 4 third Of the crop has
been sold to date Several new buy

that the ranks of those in the field are
kept good. Prices remains steady.
with no perceptible change. The feel
ing that the crop will find buyers to
taEe'it at the ruling prices is strength
enng, and the percentage OF growers
who threaten to hold for higher prices
grow less each day. This is doubtless
III a measure due to the fact that
many of the oldest and most ex-
pericnced raisers are among those
willing e. accept the prevailing low
prices.
