AN ILIrTOuNDED KICK.
Why the Statesman has Been Hammer
ing the Postofiiee Seryiee-The
Facts in the Case.

A kick for an improvement in the
public service cannot be OF any ef-
feet unless 1t is well.founded aud
based on the facts. The eStatesman's g
recent severe gyratious of its pedal
extremeties and making of wry faces
at the Salem postoffice are phenom-
ena based upon a general contortion
of the facts and very ill.founded as
to its nature.
The overland mail now arrives at
Salem at $50. 1t is thus late on
account of waiting at Portland for
the eastern tAnscontinental mail
trains over the Union Pacific and
Northern Pacific. AS the States
man is q morning paper, it has some
interest in kicking. If it could
force the. delivery of mail at II p. M.
it would come handy, but no one
else is anxious to receive mail at
that time. Its kick is based solely
ON its own interests In the matter,
and not on public demand.
THE FACTS IN THE CASE
were learned by q JOURNAL reporter
who called on Postmaster Gilbert
and obtained the following state
ment:
Everybody we'll knows that a
postoff1ce is not required to be kept
open for distributing and delivering
mails at such an hour az that train
arrives at. The train Is held at
Portland to get US earlier Eastern
mails and we get them on that
train"
"The local train could not get the
Eastern mails If it were allowed tc
carry them. Under the present ar.
rangement the business portion oi
the city receives mail four hours
and the resident portions twenty
feur hours earlier than under the
old time. The employment of 8
force Of night clerks, or of a nigh,
clerk is impracticable. 1t takes
eight employees never less than an
hour to work the mail from an over
land train. Que or even two could
not give the mail to the public IN
any reasonable time. The only rem
edy is to increase the compensation
of clerks SO that they can he or
dered to work at any or at all hours
"The compensation of clerks Is not
such that they can be asked to put
in more time than they do as they
now put in more time for less pay
than employees in any similar char.
acter OF work or business. $500 q
year will not command their time
for over twelve hours In the day"

There is considerable excitement among

for insisting that masses here don't pro-

and this is true, as the ignorant masses

details of the measure, and has so far
progressed as to be able to send a draft
of the bill to the public printer.
will meet again and continue the work

are provision that in cases of o conflict
between the returns sent in by

Irrigation BIZ.

Special to the Gazette.
WAsHINGToS, 5une 12.-Major Powell
| says the general impression that the pro-
vision of the Reagan irrigation bill
looking to the protection of irrlgable
lands would disastrously affect the inter
ests Of settlers, was mistake. He
SAYS the law as now framed does not
withdraw irrigable lands from home
stead settlement, but only from desert
land, timber culture and homestead
entry. All OF these lands oan still b.
retained by homestead entry. The Rea-
gan irrigation bill reduces the home
stead tract to eighty acres, while un der
the present law it is 100 acres, Major
Powell says there Will be no difficulty
experienced by the irrigating survey in
selecting and designating those lands as
fast as homesteaders Will want to settle.
THE TARIFF.
The senate finance committee expect
to report the tariff bill by July 1. At
least month will be required for its
consideration. There will be many
klekers in the Republican ranks but they
will not break the traces. A pro-
tective tariff bill will be passed before
adjournment. Party discipline aided by
millions Of manufacturing capital will be
the factors to pass the bill. The Demo-
Gratis, led by Mr.. Carlisle, will
make vigorous protest against
the radical measures and will thoroughly
ventilate its egregious inconsistencies.
Altogether the prospect for an adjourn
ment before September l is decidedly
slim and October may find congress
here. The Republicans are committing
political suicide by so long q session, but
as they know the next congress will bs
Democratic they want to make the best
of what they now have.
THE REPUBLICAN SENATORS
are greatly annoyed at Speaker Reed rs
determination to whip them into line
with the party. He is setting the pace
for their progress and q very rapid one it
is. They are about frantic at
his action in whipsawing the
silver bill through the house.
Reed is determined to retain the bullion
redemption clause in the bill, and the ad-
ministration also supports this view so the
Republican senators to carry their point
Altogether it is a bad family quarrel
with Reed so far ahead.
SENTENCE COMMITTED.
The president has committed to two
and One-third years Of actual imprison-
ment the three years sentence of John
s. Faulkner, convicted IN the Northern
district of Texas of embezzling the con-
tents of a registered letter while acting
