The Age Herald says: There is
neither sense nor policy in the ad
vice which Henry Watterson gives
Democratic officeholders to prompt
ly resign after the 4th of March
next.
In the first place, remarks that pa
per, the partisan civil service
plan is the proper plan if it can DC
made practical, and if President
Harrison attempts to carry out such
policy he should receive the sup.
port of all good citizens prospect
i've of party.
For Democratic officeholders to
voluntarily give up their positions
would not result to their persona
advantage, nor to that of their par
ty. Mr.. Watterson alleges thai
Cleveland's defeat was owing to his
attempt to practice civil service re-
form. Why does he wish to remove
such a pitfall out OF Harrison
way?
We hope that every Democratic
officeholder will retain his position
as long as he is permitted to do SO
We haven't yet worked our faith ~
to the point Of believing in Gen
Harrison's civil service reform pro
fessions, nor those which his friend
have made for him, bot we are il
favor of encouraging him to try ex
periments in that line, and no Dem
ocratic official should be guilty o
the petulant conduct Mr.. Waiter

The new route will form continuation of the Huesca branch of the Northern railread of Spain, and 1t will gain access to France through the Somport pass. The junction with the French system will be effected at Oloron, on the Midi railroad. It will be ne- cessary to pierce the mountains at the sum- init of the Somport pass by tunnel four and half miles long, and the highest altitude attained will be over 4,o00 feet above the sea.

MONEY IN THE MAILS.

InsEgniAcane Losses Considering the
 Sum that Passes Through the Chicago
 Onace.
 From the Chicago Hsrald.1
 "Between five and ten million dollars an- nually is sent in currency through the Chi- cago Post Offee," said Assistant United States Attorney Harris yesterday. "Tt is astonishing how careless people are in this respect. The public has been repeatedly informed of the necessity for care, and yet not only is there is no decrease in the amount of currency sent by mail, but the amount is steadily increasing Why, I know one carrier that delivers an average of $15, 900 6 week in one building in Chicago. The amounts are generally under $5, but this is only another reason why there is danger in sending it. One or dozen letters in one mail would hardly be missed. The stealing might go on for month without a oom- plaint reaching the department Suppose the thief then stops his stealing, how is he to be caught In spite of the fact that 6Fery ex- perienced handler of mails can tell whether 6 letter contains currency thefts are very infre- quent.
 ''It is rarely that such offences are traced to the carriers. In the stamping division, however, two men have been convicted late- ly. In some of the cases where we know . man is guilty it is almost impossible to Sc. cure evidence to convict. Take 0berkampf's case for an example. Out of the hundreds of persons who had letters stolen there are hardly more than ten who can swear posi- lively that they mailed the letters fonnd ir Oberkamp's possession. One firm sent { sic, 900 check which was found in Ober. kampf's trunk. We tried to get testimony in this case, and not 8 man in the employ o the firm knew enough about the letter ol check to be able to swear that it was mailed at all. From this you can see how hard sometimes is to convict postal employe fo l 6 small theft. In spite of all these draw back to conviction, the proportion of money stolsl grows less and less every year. It certainl per aent.u
