There seems to be a difference of opinion
between the postmaster general and the peo-
Pile as to what constitutes an adequate mail
service In his report Mr.. Villas declared
that the mail facilities between this country
and the ports of Central and South America
were fully adequate" to the demands Of bust
ness The people-that is, the business peo-
pie who know--take exceptions to the full
ly adequate" part of the report Quebec
merchant, whose letter passed through the
mails of this country, wrote Oct. s, to firm
in Maracaibo, giving an order for coffee. The
letter was nearly four months in reaching
its destination. In the meantime the prices
of coffee advanced and the Quebec merchant
lost 5000. Previous to the changes instituted
by Mr.. Villas the regular time between the
two cities was fifteen days. Formerly it re-
quired but nine days for the mails to reach
Panama from New York. Now forty days
are frequently required, and the people at
the isthmus never know when to look for
them. In view of what was the postmaster
general has queer ideas of what constitutes
adequate facilities. The increasing trade
between these countries and the United
States demands better service if possible,
instead of a service worse than the old.

The facts also clearly show that in navy
ward where the principal employees had

and undisturbed from ten to twenty years,
Commodore Truxtun within six months
after the Inauguration OF Democratic Presl-
dent had removed every foreman except one.
every quarterman, every clerk and writer,
with two or three exceptions, nearly all the
special laborers, and a large portion OF the
mechanics and other workingmen.
These wholesale removals included large
number of Union soldiers and sailors, whose
places thus made vacant were filled by the
appointment and employment OF eX-eonfed..
crates, in palpable and fragrant, violation OF
section 1854 Revised Statutes, which requires
that preference shall be given to honorably
discharged soldiers aud sailors Of the nation.
Commodore Truxtun himself, In assigning
partisan reasons for the removal and dis
charge of workingmen from employment at
the navy ward, clearly confssses systematic
violation Of section 1916 of the Revised Stat
utes. which provides that no workingman
ssshall be removed or discharged from any
navy yard for political opinion" and that
"any officer or employe of the government
who shall offend against the provisions of
this section shall be dismissed from the ser
vice of the United States.

CURRENT COMMENT.

--------- pncAc.n, A -irran.tico,.

Boston Advertiser.
Secretary Lamar's demand for Governor
Murray's resignation, following closely the
resolution of the Utah legislature condemn
ing that fearless and efficient officer, has all
the force of an Endorsement of the Mormon
cause, and a rebuke to those who venture to
oppose the Mormon church. What this eX
traordinary act means the country will be
impatient to know. The Democratic party
has long posed as the defender of nullifica-
ton and the protector OF the Mormons but
it seems incredible that this administration,
which has been counted on to aid In crushing
pelygamy, is to act openly in It's behalf
THE KNIGHTS IN TEXAS.
Galveston News.
The laborer has rights and the capitalist
has rights Laborers as such are not stock
holders or directors in enterprises, and II
they refuse to work they have no right to
say that other men shall not do the work
which they have deliberately abandoned.
Free men are not bound to WORK unless such
should be their pleasure; but when they
cease to work they have no right tooccupy,
control or claim continuous connection with
the premises, property or works OF others:
The position taken by Receiver Brown of
the Texas & Pacific railroad is valid and ten.
able alike under canons of law, reason and
common sense. How should Mr.. Brown
know Mr.. Powderly except by common re-
port, and what had Mr.. Brown, as agent of
a United States court to do with the Knights
of Labor? Mr.. Brown had only the EN-
ployes under his direction to deal with.
When men ceased to perform their work
they ceased to be employees, and others were
put in their places This is the matter mar
rowed down to naked facts in the light of
common sense. The business and commerce
of this country as a free commonwealth can
never be carried on by formal or informal
treaties of collective potentates. Men must
dea with men.

The Knights of Labor have asked the Mis-
souri, Pacific Company to submit the differ
ences with its employees to arbitration, but
Vice President Hexie replies that there is
nothing to arbitrate. The employees are out,
not because of any grievance against the
Missouri Pacific, but because of grievance
the employees of the Texas & Pacific have
against that company for the discharge Of a
workman. Properly speaking the trouble on
the Missouri Pacific is nota strike, but boy
colt of the road, because 1t deals with the
Texas Pacific. AS Vice President Hoxie says,
there is nothing to arbitrate.

So far as is known Mr.. John H. Oberley
who has been appointed civil service COM
missioner to succeed Mr.. Trenholm, has no
special fituess for his task. He is promi-
nent Democratic politician of Illinois, and
has been chairman Of the Democratic COM
mittee of that State. His selection is likely
to please the Jacksonians better than the
MugWumps.

The fact that Waterville during the past
year has been sickly enough to purchase at
the agency almost $15 worth of liquor day
is almost as alarming as the condition of Bid
deford. But instead of referring the matter
to the health board, the citizens in town
meeting assembled diagnosed the disease ana
prescribed remedy in the shape Of unani-
nous vote to abolish the town agency: One
dose taken early in the morning is considered
sufficient Other towns troubled with the
contagion will please take notice.

The Senate has passed the Hoar electoral
count bill. The measure is not perfect one
lit is probably impossible to provide for
every contingency which may arise-but it
averts a great many of the dangers of the
present method, or, more properly, want of
method, and the House will do well to con-
cur in it. The chances of measure of this
kind passing diminishes as a Presidential
election approaches. The first session after
a Presidential election is the most favorable
time for legislating on this subject.
The Portland daily press., 1886-03-19

The report comes from Washington that
Senator Morrill, has given Secretary Man
ming to understand that nearly all the nomi-
nations for internal revenue collectorships,
now hung up in the Senate, could at once
be confirmed if the Senate could be as
sured that the causes for which the previous
incumbents were removed did not affect their
personal character and official fidelity. That
mo removal without cause" promise is
working harm, so it seems, to the appointed
as well as to the removed.
