an act that he had no reason to be ashamed
of or to seek to conceal But the discontinue
ance of these two agencies would accom-
plish something more than the saving of S48
to the government. There are connected
with the post Office at the present time one
postmaster, one assistant postmaster, one
cashier, twenty-four clerks of various kinds,
two stamp agents, three special delivery mes
sengers, sixteen letter carriers and one sub
letter carrier-in all forty-nine persons. Had
the two stamp agencies not been abolished
there would have been connected with the
postofice fifty one persons inelud-
ing the postmaster or fifty without him
1t makes vast difference whether forty mine
persons are connected with post Office or
fifty. If the office has but f0rty-nine then
the postmaster is under no restriction what
ever in the matter of removals and appoint
ments. If it has fifty then it comes within
the provisions of the civil service law, and
the postmaster has very little control over
appointments. This state of facts suggests
another motive for disseminating the two
agencies besides the saving of $48 Of course
we cannot know that this was Postmaster
Palmer's motive, and we do not allege that it
was. But if his motive was the creditable
one of economy we cannot imagine why he
sought to conceal it, while we can easily see
why he might be anxious to conceal it, if 1t
was to take the Office out Of the civil service
law.
That the stamp agencies were great con-
venience, especially the one on the Hill that
was discontinued, there is no doubt. Inc
Postmaster himself, has practically admitted
that by urging Mr.. Frye, who had resigned
to re-accept the agency. And Portland

1t is worth remembering that the relations
Of the President to the majority of the Sem
ate are "a little strained" not because of the
removals from Office, but because Of an un-
willingness to give reasons for removals
The Senate has right to know why it was
thought necessary to remove capable and
trustworthy officials. 1t cannot perform its
whole duty in passing on the propriety Of
new appointments until it does. Mr. Cleve-
lands high sense of executive honor and
civil service reform ought to enable him to
recognize this. His present course is not in
strict accordance with his expressed desire
to have everything done behind glass
doors"
In his message Mr.. Cleveland laid great
stress on the great need of three things: to
suspend the silver coinage, to advance civil
service reform and to use extreme care in
tinkering the tariff. The members of the
party to which Mr. Cleveland is alleged to
belong have lost no time in publicly taking is
sue with him on each of these three ques-
lions. AS to silver their position has lately
been made very emphatic. The world long
ago knew the depth of their interest in the
advancement of civil service reform, and as
to tariff tinkering extreme care has not char
scterized their proceedings. The question
again arises, of which party does Mr. Cleve-
land consider himself a member?

The Republican Senators are understood
to be unit in favor of asking the causes of
removal of Republicans in each case where
causes have been alleged to exist, and against

moyals as well as to appointments, and there

and the power of compnlsion possessed
by road overseer is inadequate to make
each hand perform his proportionate
share Of labor. The Oyerseers themselves
very often inst work the road enough TO
escape prosecution and tine for neglect OF
duty. Some hands are always tardy in
their arrival at the place Of working, and,
when there. Will stand and tall, tell the
news, spin yarns. swap knives and put in
a lick now and then TO fill time, and if
the overseer attempts to punch them up
to duty. he will often be treated to slack,
and perchance will get into fight. l
saw an example of this kind last summer.
Now if road hand should whale his
overseer, he could be prosecuted and fin
ed for it. but the fine would go into the
Parish Treasury, and the overseer wouls
get no pay for his whaling. Not m.hy
of MS are patriotic enough to be willing to
take whaling in order to fill the Parish
golfers. / would not do it since the po-
lice Jury rejected my claims.
The overseers are required To report de-
linquents to the Justice &C the Peace TO be
tried and fined and are required to appear
MS q witness against Them, but the Parish
is not represented in such cases by any
Attorney or prosecutor and usually gets
thrown In the, -osts. And when a case of
this kind isS decided against rhe Parish.
no one t.sere is authorized to appeal the
case to5a higher Court.

For the Southern sentinel:
PUBLIC ROADS.

Ed itor Snnrnern Sentinel:
Dear Sir:-A few days ago saw in your
paper an article beaded An Efficient Road
Law q have not the article to quote
FROM which inspired me with desire to
submit to my fellow citizens, through
your columns, my ideas in regard to the
system Of working public roads, which
| will do in series Of three brief articles
viz: LIST. Ny objection to the existing
system. End. a synopsis of a new sys,em
which / propose as substitute for the
present system. 3rl. An Assisas ou the
comparative cost and efficiency of the two
systems.
l have just arrived at the terminus of
my public road career, and am emancipat-
ed by age from labor, and on account of my
poverty | have very little use for public
roads; therefore my future interest in
the public roads is very Insignificant, but
If l can be instrumental in causing the
present inequitable, inefficient and unsat-
isfactory system Of workin. the public
roads to be abolished, aud IN improved
system to be substituted for l., shall
feel that have not labored in vain, and
can die happier, although should fail to
have the roadsto eternity improved before
starting on my tramp on that line.
Artrcle I: Objections to the EXISTING
system Of ,corkiag public roads.
Objection LIST. In its operation It Is nm
constitutional. The State constitution
says; that staxation shall be equal and
uniform throughout tho territorial limits of
the authority levying the tax. The road
law levies capitation tax, to be paid in
labor, upon all able bodied males between
the ages Of Is and so, with certain exemp-
tons, to n sufficient amount to keep the
section Of road to which each hand he
longs in good repairs; prorided that it
does not exceed II days labor in wear
Some Districts of ruads require more
work than others, and some sections of
the Parish have more public roads in pro-
portion to population than others. 80 tia.
It is impossible to so apportion the hands
to the several Districts Of roads. As 70
make the burden Of taxation equal npon
all hands subjectto road duty. The SER
vice varies all the way from l to "a
days in the year. Some persons are ex-
empted from serYice on the public roads
on account Of their professions. They
are usually well paid for their profession
al services, they own property, and use
the public roads, rs much rs other classes
of men, and ought to bear their share Of
the burden.
2nd. Objection. It is unjust. 1t makes
the poor laborer contribute just as much |
to the public roads ~ the wealthy plan ter |
merchant and banker. One man has y |
large plantation, run by hired labor, |
grist mill cotton gin and store, and keeps
: dozen teams running on the public roads |
almost continuously, and counts his in
come and ANNUAL gains by thousands, yet
each poor laborer driving his teams and
cnlttvating his lands b taxed just IS much
for the working Of roads as his employ er. |
! think : man would have to look through |
glasses smoked with the fumes OF self In |
terest 70 zee any justice in this.
Men are appointed overseers Of roads |
without their consultation or consent, and |
