DETECTIVES AS CRIMINALS.

Three alderman and our detectives
Of Pittsburg. Pa, have been sentenced
for terms ranging from six months to
three years for having accepted brides.
Doodle alderman have fiourished these
many years, but criminal detectives are
Of comparatively recent origin. or at
least are just attaining prominence as
such. The part that one or more of
Chicago's detectives took in the Cronin
murder has given people who put their
trust in h police department for the
preservation of law and the ferretting
out of it's violations, a shock from
which il is not easy to ecover. There
il something SO hideous and abhorrent
in an officers act of turning traitor to
society and stabbing il in the back that
. large community, dependent upon
such employees for the protection of
life and property, becomes a ready prey
TO uneasiness and distrust.
1t is a mistake to suppose that the
average detective or police officer is any
more moral than the average alderman.
Both are generally h product of ward
politics, n war politics as "A rule are
controlled by the worse elements. II
the detective has not figured as "A bride

the fact that two knives belonging to

NO CHANCE TO TRADE

Several democratic member of the
state senate fastened to Helena on
Monday, but il does not appear that
their presence at the capital is likely to
bring about AN. immediate Organi-
zatiOn of the legislature. These gen
tlemen are ready tn take their seats
when there is assurance that the legis-
lative business of the state is to be
conducted by men whom the people
elected. They do not propose to lend
themselves to any scheme the purpose
of which il to give recognition to fraud
in my form.
There is not the slightest probability
that the trouble in Helena will end by
giving to each of the two conten-
ding parties a seat i'm the senate
mt Washington. The discussion Of
that proposition siuply serves to
pervert the issue. The sena-
torship itself in matter of small account
with the people. The real question In
whether men who get a majority at the
polls are the NEIL who should take their
place i'm the state government. The de-
cisiOn finally reached at Helena will let
us know whether precints in Montana
may be cOunted i'm or ounte out at
any designing mans within.
Toward the settlement of hat ques
ton, no advance would be made by a
dicker which names n republican and
one democrat for the federal senate.

After one look he jumped back with u

the man colo and dead. He was lying ON
his hack, hands locked under his neck,
and that clothespin had pinched his nose
all out of shape. The body was taken to

POSTAL AEEAIRS.

The postmaster-generals n re-
BORT gives a concise review of the con-
troversy in which he hav been engaged
with the Western Union Telegraph
company. Mr.. wanamaker started i'm
with q demand hat a a should be
made to h government of mill
Der word. which was reckOned AZ the
equivalent of about S25.OOO per year for
the service he required. The negotia-
lions have not been successful and the
time for the meeting of congress finds
Mr.. Wanamaker not fully prepared to
present n plan for cheap rates which he
had been hoping tn perfect. lie recon-
nends, however, that the postmaster
general be empowered to enter into
contract with responsible parties for
the purpose OF establishing a Limited
post and telegraph service" and his
suggestions in general outline appar-
emily have much to commend them.
Many facts put i'm figures by the
postmaste general are of inter
cot. The report shows that at the
close of the year ending June "a, 1854,
there were in operation 2,4SS post
Offices, h postmasters at hic are
subject to appointment by the presi-
dent, and 5,sss postotiices the incum-
bents mt which were appointed by the
postmaster general. During the last
fiscal ear the number of presidential
p~ostofices increased by I'M, and the
number of fourth-class p~ostOflices by
l,427. The number Of pOstoGices estab-
ished was ITO, and the number dis
continued 1,l47. Both as regards es-
Establishments and discontinuances,
there was a marked decrease as COM
pared with the preceding fiscal year;
in the former 1904 and in the latter of
90. The net increase i'm the number
Of pOstofiices was largest i'm the states
Of Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Cali
fornia. Alabama, Tennessee and Mich
igan. in the order named. while there
was a net decrease i'm bot Rhode
Island and Kansas.
There are Mt present 446 offices that
accommodate the people with the mails
1t their doors. This is only about one
sixth OF the number of presidential
Offices: the other 2,2l6 Oblige their pat
POns to call at the offices for the mail.
Under existing law the extension of
the free delivery is limited to cities of
population of 10000 persons, or a
gross revenue of $1,000 annually.
While this law stands the extension Of
the best form of postal regulations
must be very slow. 1t Is recon-
mended that all places of a population
Of not less than 5000, or where the post
Office has shown "a gross revenue of
$1,000 for the previous fiscal year, shall
have the benefit of the free delivery
system. This will extend the service
to all the second class Offices, and to
some of the third-class, but i'm order to
do this 1t will be necessary to amend
the law to give the proper authority to
the POst- Office Department.
