THE FoRT SCOTT ROAD.

,uilt as an early day at least from ;
Natchez to an Intersection with the !

importance for our people to take what

The road through Monroe. Is
The doubt andAkepticlsm of the peo-
pie Of this city as to the ultimate sue
cess of Gen. RIce's great project, has
had much justification arising from
delays and changes Of base and plans.
Il cannot be denied that there has
been some ccquetting, and no end OF
vsporous and vapid talk. 1t may be
that these are conditions precedent to
al railroad building; and certain It Is,
90 far as our observation has extern
ded, that that sort of talk vulgariy
characterized as gas, always precedes
great undertakings.

So that, much talk Is about to bring
forth railroad, and Monroe wants 1t,
and her people cannot be excused II
they fail to get II. There is no sents-
ment about these rail road people. OF
this we have lately seen demonstra-
tlon in the case of the H., @. A. & N.
and the people of BastroP. 1.-THE Fort
IScott road is diverted from Monroe, 1t
will not be for the reason that Gen.
Rice is mad with US, but because he

New York Stock Exchange.

NEW YORK, Oct stocks to-day con-
tinued TO feel the effect of the stringency in
money. The tone of the dealings remained
heavy to weak almost throughout the day, and
while the movements were within narrow limits
lie extreme declines ranged up TO 3 per cent,
and the weak stocks did seven-eighths of the
business. Weakness in trusts was again the
most conspicuous feature of the market. There
we're rumors of decision in the case of the
North River sugar refinery and they helped 10
drive that stock down and against the bottom,
but stories Of dis elsion among the directors
were used with considerable effect. AT the open
ing, Burlington and Atchison with Jersey Central
and Delaware & Hudson lead the decline
The easing up of money gave beuIer lone 10
the dealings toward the delivery hour, but Mani
tOba dropped per cent on an attempt to
market block of that stock and others again
followed, the market closing weak and close to
the lowest prices. The list is generally materi-
ally lower Louisville & Nashville being the
only marked exception with gain OF Z per
cent. Cotton oil is down ga; Manitoba, g.;
Sugar. Z; Atchison and Missouri Pacific rs
each; Big Four, rs; Rock Island, Northwestern
and Pullman, per cent. each.
Government bonds dull and steady.

offices in the same fix and no exception can
be made in the applications of the law.
What remedy is there for this bad state
of affairsi The answer is, free delivery
system. Ogden is entitled to this on one
ground at least, namely, that the gross rev
enue of the postofiee is $4,000 or over; the
city is entitled to one carrier for every 3, COO
of population or fraction thereof; but, the
houses must be numbered and reasonable
number of sidewalks laid down in the diff
ferent parts of the city. This latterrequire-
ment has not been complied with One
remedy is the Inauguration of the free
delivery system. There may be another.

THE POSTOFFICE.
Complaints Are General and Constant-What's
the Reason.

LDmDldllllS ART UtutTdl anu NUuhLdub- w nat )
the Reason.
The citizens of Ogden are entitled to good
mail service, but it is an understood fact
that they are receiving the poorest service
possible. 1t may also be set down as a fact
that the public is hard to please and prone
TO find fault. Another fact that admits of
no controversy, is that any man who as
sumes the duties of postmaster and ex-
poets to recline upon a bed of roses, is going
to be awfully fooled. The truth of the
matter is that there is no position in the
government service that calls for such con
slant and unremitting attention as that of
postmaster, even in little city like
Ogden. In all postoftices, particular y
those OF the second, third and fourth
classes, the pay (Which is fixed by law is.
entirely inadequate for the amount of labor
performed and the responsibility devolving
upon the postmaster Yet men are not
lacking who are rot only willing but anX
ious 10 be pOstmasters, and the result is
that when men who are physically or other
wise incapacitated for properly performing
the duties devolving upon them are APP
pointed and assume those duties and re-
sponsibilities, serious trouble is sure TO re
rult; the ojtmt ster is kept in hot water
all the time and the public is debarred oil
its rights and privileges.
Now, in regard to the Ogden postoffi, e
and the poor service which is being given
the people, it should be borne in mind that
these troubles are of very recent origin,
art are in no wise the result of an increase
of business or population since Mr..
Tyler retil ed some three or four months
ago. The salary of the postmaster is the
same, and so are the allowances for clerk
hire, etc, so tie cause of the general com
plant which is heard daily and at all hours
of the day must be sought for elsewhere.
In the first place, the present post
master did not seek the appoint
ment, and only accepted it because
OF the fear that if he did not do so ne would
be left entirely out in the cold. He ac-
cepted it with the knowledge that heavy
physical and exhausting labor would be re-
CURED of him which he was physically I'm
fshle to perform. The trained clerical force
MOI the office was changed and in some cases
1nexp IiDaced persons placed in the several
positions. The situation, in a nutshell, is
thiR: The postmater himself cannot do the |
wCifk that is required of him, and he can
notAget frst-class clerks for third-class paw |
The law in regard to clerk hire allowance |
cannot be turned to the benefit of the Ogden |
postofhce, for there are scores of other |

One Way To Do 1t.

10 the Editor Of THs RvBSIIG STAR:
Your recent publication of the regulations
governing the granting Of liquor licenses seems
70 indicate sincerity on the part Of our much
abused board Of Commissioners in preventing
the evils resulting from intempersnce. There
are hundreds Of families living in close prox-
1mity with these dens Of vice and immortality,
who seldom see . newspaper and are utterly
ignorant OF their rights and prerogasiyes in the
prevention Of crime and drunkenness, yet il in
Horned upon the subject, they would cherfully
present their objection 70 the granting If many
licenses. Nov let me suggest that some Of
our enthusiastic temperance advocates make
% their special duty to visit and inform this
Glass Of residents what power they may
exereise under the regulations. More real ben
ems can undoubtedly be derived by such q
course than BY public meetings announcing
piquor dealers in general. There are many
vices civilization must endure, yet by Judi
clocs course Of treatment they are rendered less
Ioolee nonable. Instead Of publicly blowing
,heir ougle" In the public prints let these pro-
hioItlonists try the virtues of visiting from
houss to house in the localities where lew grog-
ehops are licensed and endeavor to show the
Residents the evil results Of liquor selling and
the benefit they may be instrumental in accom-
pushing to the rising generation. BY convers-
ing with such persons I have received assur-
anees there will be at least two licenses that

Missouri's Antitrust Law.

state to bring suit and revoke the charter Of
any corporation engaged In trust. Yesterday
that Official sent blank form Of oath and .
circular letter Of Interrogatories 10 every cor
poretion In Missouri. A failure to subscribe to
the oath and refusal to declare that the COM
pany addressed Is not connected with any trust
is held sufficient cause for Q revocation of
charter.
