A PUR-BLIND PARTISAN.
rs THAT SUPERINTENDENT BAN
CRoFT'S OPINION OF MIR. CANNoN9
Sharp Rejoindcr TO the Copgrossman's
Criticism on tho Postonice Administrn-
tion-charges That Are Denied Effect
of the New Order.

General Superintendent Bancroft of
the Railway Mail Service said to an
EVENING PosT reporter that, in his opin-
ion, the placing of the Railway Mail
crerks under civil service rules would re-
suit in material benefit to the service.
The rules and regulations that are to
govern the appointments have not yet
been adopted.
The Postmaster General is at work on
them. 1t is the general opinion that the
examinations. to be made by applicants
for positions in the postal service will
differ somewhat from the examination
required for clerkships in the Depart
ments. The examination, 1t is under.
stood, will be more specific.
In speaking Of Congressman Cannon's
criticism, General Bancroft said that the
Illinois Congressman either did not know
what he was talking about or deliberately
gave uttcrance to SANDER on the admin
istration of the PostofIice Department.
The efficiency of the Postal service"
said General Bancroft, "has increased
wonderfully during the past year. The
record made by the clerks on the dis
tribution of postal cards increased from
S7.01 per cent in 1887 to 9051 per cent.
in 1888. OF the complaints made to the
Department rs per cent. on investigation
showed the writer's to be at fault.
Mr.. Cannon says the. system of checks
by which errors were detected and re-
ported has been ignored by the clerks,
etc. That statement is erroneous. On
the contrary the Department has rigidly
enforced that rule and it would be an
easy matter to convince any one except
pur-blind partisans."

The word came out with gentle elocu.

Mrs. Potter looked pensive and Mr..
Darlington added THAT is rather deli
cate question"
The lady drew herself ND with defiant
smile, held her head on one side and with
laugh, again discharged the word "No"
into the atmosphere which fairly iingled
with the report.
When the questions were concluded,
Mr.. Lipscomb,said with Chesterfeldian
air.

The lady inquired, as that all2' and
left the stand, bowling with the same air
with which she leaves the stage after O

pearancc in court was n signal success.
Mr.. Darlington reserved point in the
claim that the property was that of Mrs.
Polter's husband.
VERDICT OF GUILTY.
The jury very promptly returned a
verdict of guilty us indicted.
After the verdict Mr.. Darlington asked
that II ring which had been taken from
Buck be returned to him, as it was no
claimed by any one.
lie mentioned incidentally that the
| ring was not, as was suspected, the prop
erty of Mrs. Jessie Bartlett Davis, and
| that property, which that lady valued
very highly, would be returned to her.
The defendant had done all in hi
power to assist the authorities in finding
jewelry that had been pawned, Thu
ring was worth about $l25 and had beer
purchased by the prisoner with his owr
money. He at one time had con
siderable means, and still had interest,
of the value of about seven or eigh
thousand dollars.
Buck was dressed, as usual, with hand
some elegance, and his face neve
changed in its expression of detection.
