to be Placed.
WASHINGTON, October 25.-The confer
ence of division inspectors of the Postofice
Department which has been in session dur
ing the last ten days in the Office OF Chief
Inspector Rathbone, has adjourned and the
inspectors have returned to their respective
stations. The object of the conference
was general interchange of views upon
large number of subjects suggested by Chief
Inspector Rathbone and other. officials of
the Postofice Department, including the
inspectors themselves. The subject Of reg
istered package envelopes and the treat
ment of registered matter generally were
discussed at some length, and as result a
system Of consecutive Endorsements by all
persons through whose hands the packages
pass was adopted.
1t appears that the regulations now in
force require that all persons who handle
registered package, from the time it starts
from the originating Office until it reaches
the person Tor whom it is intended at its
final destination, shall sign their names to
the envelope in consecutive order, noting
the time received and the condition in which
the package is 10und. Inls reguiatlon, now
ever, has not been strictly enforced. EN-.
ployes are in the habit of signing their
names with a hand stamp without any
special reference to consecutive order, so
that it has been utterly impossible in many
cases to follow the course of the package
and SO fix the responsibility for loss. Here
after strict observance Of this regulation
will be required.
As to the registered package envelope, no
change was recommended. although it was
the opinion of the inspectors present that
the one now in use is entirely deficient in
several important particulars. What is
greatly needed is an envelope which cannot
be rifled without showing signs of having
been tampered with. The envelope now in
use. it is said, could be opened, the contents
removed and the envelope resealed with
great ease, and if skillfully done almost baf-
fes detection. The inspectors will give this
subject further study, and any suggestions
for Improvement in registered envelopes
will be at once communicated to the depart
ment. The book of instructions furnished
the inspectors was discussed and thoroughly
revised,

Conveyed nn Erroneous Impression.

In the cursory inspection of an item in
which one party sued another before Alder
man Doughty for assault and battery, the
weary eyes of the headline writer induced
the mental impression that Alderman
Doughty was the party sued. This, how
ever, was incorrect, and the difference be-
tween the headline and the Item naturally
proved puzzl1ng.

"Good luck again attended my efforts, but
had to expel Joe Heideger. and his horse, Still

situations are producing more than we
can consume in this country, and the re-
publican embargo policy prevents the
marketing of their products abroad. All
this was explained to the people by the
democratic press in the last campaign,
and the very disasters that are now crowd
ing thick and fast upon our industries
were predicted, if the prohibitory tariff
should be maintained. The only salvation
for our manufacturing interests is the re-
duction of our tariff to a revenue basis.
With cheap raw materials our manu-
facturers can compete with their rivals in
the neutral markets of the world, and thus
dispose of their surplus products, and
afford employment to hundreds OF thou
sands of men now reduced to total or
partial idleness. The republican policy
of restricting imports-of suppressing, so
far as possible, commerce with the outside
world-can have but one outcome. If we
would sell, we must buy of other countries
We will profit from our buying no less
than from our selling. This was the con-
tention of the democratic party in the last
campaign, and the march OF events will
speedily demonstrate, even to the be-
nighted farmers of the Northwest, that it
was eminentlv sound.

The school Book Law.

The school book trust has number OF
county papers-all of them republican, as
far as we have observed-in its service,
and these sheets are doing all they can to
bolster up the trust and discredit the text
book law. One of them-the Brookville
Observation-Disclosures that the law is likely
to smash the schools Themselves favor
lite cry of the school book lobby-and adj
vises the officials charged with its en-
forcement to "go slow"
The officials are going slow, thanks to
Supt. LAFoLLETTE, who waited more than
six weeks to call meeting of the board for
the purpose of advertising for text books,
although the law itself requires that such
advertising shall be done Immediately upon
its passage. There is no doubt that the
trust will exhaust every effort to break
down this law, and it will have the help of
all the venal newspapers and purchaseable
school officials in the state.
But we warn these fellows that this is
going to be very dangerous business. The
school book law must be carried out in
good faith, or somebody will get into
trouble.
