morn poSTMAsTERS.

A strenuous effort is being made TO create
the impression that clean sweep Oh post
masters has already begun. irresponsible COS
sip as to the intentions of the President and the
postmaster-G General is caught up on oil quar-
tiers. and set forth in the opposition news
papers. Every removal is described as being
made for partisan reasons, and whenever .
postmasters head falls in the basket througn
the representations OF the Congressman nom
the district it is represented that the President
has fully surrendered to the theory of Con-
greSsional control of the Office.
MIR. Clarkson, the First Assistant Postmaster
General. has made an important statement upon
this matter. It appears that practically al the
changes made thus far have been for other
than political reasons. A number were OF
uostnasterS who were delinquent in their &C
counts; Others Of men appointed by ohe ias'
Administration who were VIGOROUSLY unfiti IN
many cases appointments were made In order
TO remove the Offices from the vicinity Of sa-
looms. There has been no removal. Mr. Clark
son SAYS, without good and sufficient cause.
He further directs attention to significant and
interesting fact which the public viii doubtless
learn for the first time. 1t is that during the
last four or six weeks Of the outgoing Admin
istration more than 1000 fourth-class post
masters were appointed, in the hope, apparent
", that they could thus be forced upon the new
Administration Mr.. ClarkSon Is undoubtedly
correct in saying that no such course was ever
pursued by any previous Administration. Dur
ing the closing weeks of President Arthur's
term not one fourth-class postmaster was sp-
pointed except where necessities of the service
required it, and when the Department was
turned over to tho Democratic Postmaster Gen.
erai there were more than 5000 designations
Of postmasters on file.
II is gratifying TO know that the commissions
of these / 900 latter-day appointees of Mr..
Dickinson were withheld, and that the filing
Of these vacancies with others is part Of the
work that is occupying the First Assistant
Postmaster G General. The sentiment Of our
people has always been against these last grabs
1t Offices since the day of John Adams's mid
night appointments Decentralization Of tho
postal.service in order TO give places to great
army Of hungry and thirsty Democrats was one
Of the chief Civil Service scandals Of the last
Administration. That final effort to clutch a
thousand postoffices, long after the people had
given it notice to quit, was forciele illustra-
don Of the ruling passion. strong in death.

n COMING Man.

The few remarks recently made IN these columns
on the evolution Of the East Wind Man, which
It is believed is now going on in New-York, has
called forth much discussion among the scientin-
cally inclined OF The Trbunes readers and con-
siderable correspondence. The general verdict
seems 70 be that we are right in snpposing that
this race, provided with leather lungs. India
rubber bronchia and celluloid tonss, Is gradually
developing, but that IL will come about much
sooner than the several million years which we
allowed II, and that the East Wind or Fog Species
OF man viii be known In comparatively few
generations. We will leave tho discussion of
this point to ADLER scientific pens than ours. and
turn our attention for a moment TO another ques-
ton Of evolution raised By a correspondent
namely; What will be the ultimate effect on the
New-York man Of being practically suspended
by the straps IN the elevated cars for an hour
or two each dayP
There seems 70 us to be much room for specula-
ton on this point A mans hands are naturally
carried 90 his Sides OF at least below his shoulders
either when in repose or at work: He can extend
them considerable distance above his head, but
the position Is far from natural and IA never
kept up for sDy length Of time except In the
case Of the New-York man, who usually spends
large portion Of each day with hls arms high
above his head clinnng TO q strap OF swayinq
and Keeling elevated car That important
anatomical changes must result from this peculiar
mode Of life seems clear.
Turning to the monkey family, especially It's
larger members which most resemble man. we
ind that one OF the noticeable points IN which
they do not resemble man Is Ia the gnat lngtb
o. their arms In proportion 70 thor height Any
one who ever met the late Mr. Crowley must
haye noted this feature Now the monkey. as
everybody knows, In his native state Of least
spends much OF his time In climbing about trees
and swinging from the branches BY his arms.

developed By bis ne among the branches. and

In giving these facts Mr.. Knowles says:
"The higher rate now as compared with 1862
is accounted for by the fact that boys at ten
years Of age were allowed to work In the mines,
but now none are employed under thirteen
years Of age" Thus it appears that The rate
paid to persons over thirteen years Of age has
not advanced at all, If Mr.. Knowles state
ment is correct. But since 1878, when
wages ranged from 80 TO 50 shillings per week.
the decline has been heavy, and for ten or
twelve years almost continuous. In 1875 the
average was 81 10 per week. the same laws
regarding boys labor being In force that are
in force now, but in 1885 the average has do
clined to SIS 10 per week, and in 1887 only
recovered 10 $500
American miners know what their wages
have been, and whether they have declined
during all these years, and they also know
that So 30 per week for coal mining would
not seem to them high wages. The latest OH
cial report that Of the census Of 1880. shows
that the average then paid for the entire year
in the Schuylkill mines was SO 90 q week for
miners, inside and outside labor and had adj
yanCed from about 81 81 at the point Of great
est depression in 1877. In 1880, against SO es
in Pennsylvania, the British average was IS 80.
