Annual Report Of General Superintendent
James Il. White.


James Il. White.
In his annual report James E. White. the gem
eral superintendent of the railway mail service,
states that on June 80, 1890, there were s. SS6
clerks in the service, and on the corresponding
date Of 1891 there were 6, 032 on the rolls, being
an increase of 1856 men, or 3.36 per cent while
the record of annual mileage shows an increase
of 6, 49, 37 miles, or s per cent, in distance
travelled in the performance of duty and $685.
sl4, 462 pieces, or SO per cent, in the quantity
of mail matter distributed.
In speaking Of the qualifications of clerks
appointed through the civil service Mr.. White
says: "A large per cent of those who have
been appointed to the railway mail service
under the provisions of the civil service rules
have been men of good intellectual capacity,
having the ability to learn the schemes Of dis
trIbution and to acquire the other knowledge
necessary to justify their permanent appoint
ments. and. In respect to the mental require
ments OF thu service, to make efficient clerks in
. reasonable time, but unfortunately many OF
them have been deficient in stamina and ply
steal endurance and therefore could not with.
requiring continuous physical and mental
labor and strong muscular action"
Mr.. White recommends the passage of a law
providing for the retirement OF all permanent
railway postal clerks on one-third or one half
pay who have become incapacitated for further
service by reason OF age, injuries received
while in the discharge OF their official duties,
&c, the fund out of which the clerks 30 re-
tired to be created by Withholding sum equal
to one-half of per cent per annum OF the SAL
airy OF each clerk.

McM1uin has the manners Of a Chesterfield
minus formality. Under his amiability, which
is not easily disturbed, is considerable keenness
and vigor. He is a man who devotes consider
able time to the cultivation of the talents he
recognizes in himself When he undertakes to
do thing he is almost always sanguine and
determined to make a success of it. He is
quick to lay out his plans and quite skillful in
their execution. In conversation he is de-
iightful companion. always bright and enter
tanning, and possessing cordially of
manner which is perfectly natural and
captivating. As speaker in debate he is
good in argument or in quick retort He enters
a night with enthusiasm and confidence and
shows sufficient spirit on all occasions to give
vitality to what he says. When he enters the
held OF debate the weaker men of the opposi-
ton gradually drop out and leave the defense
to the better class OF debaters. When he gets
the worst OF battle his opponent does not feel
that he has won an easy victory, and the man
whom he gives the worst of fight usually
takes the defeat with better grace than he
would from some less skillful antagonist In
the heat of fight he is full of nervous energy,
but Is not apt to lose his head. He is a hard
student and q good worker at anything
he undertakes. He has devoted more time
to the tariff question perhaps than to
anything else. but he watches other matters as
well. and il not the sort of man to be blind to
what Is going on about him, and has q sufficient
knowledge OF men to keep in touch with his
colleagues. His position on the committee on
ways and means has necessitated his doing
considerable harl work on the tariff, and he
had great deal to do with the preparation of
the Mills bill as reported from that committee,
as well as in its defense on the floor. During
the fight over the Mckinley bill in the last
Congress he led the democrats Of the ways and

Each man has the interests Of his party ut
heart, but is Of the opinion that they would
be lust little safer in his hands than in those
of one of his rivals Incidentally some Of them
may have a little personal ambition which does
not relate particularly to the welfare of the
party. The same thing is true OF some of those
who will cast their votes for this candidate or
for that. A good committee assignment is
often a temptation to a member Of Congress.

let in deciding the struggle the most infu-
entail will be those whose position is insured
by their capacity in a fair deal and party inter-
ests will after all be the main consideration.
The men who are candidates for the speaker
ship are all well known to the public. and
whatever Is said during the campaign to the
detriment of this one in favor Of that will
probably be measured by the general repu-
tatious they have born heretofore, when not
under the fire of rival candidates or idealized
by admiring friends. The men who are now
rivals have always been friends, and, for the
most part, the men who are forced to take
sides now have done reluctantly, feeling q
friendship and an admiration for each man.
Yet the i've men as different from each
other almost il is possible for men to
be- There Is very little difference in their
party principles, certainly little in their politi
cal aims at this time. but each would reach the
result by little different means and in their
temperaments there Ia a marked difference.

From the Philadelphia Evening STAR
We suggest to Ll those who favor 'cNew
Phiiadeiphia" the propriety of turning thei,
attention to, in some respects. the sorest Of all
our needs-the lack of proper street railway
facilities, and more especially the utter disre-
gard Of public comfort and convenience on the
part OF one Of the leading companies, the trac-
ton. Not only is fault to be found with the
speed of the trains OF that company, bit with
the inadequscy of the supply Of cars and nota-
bly, OF the scandalous management Of the grips.
Whether tho constant jerkings incident to Q
ride over that road are due to faulty grip or
to inexperienced gripmen is a question We can
not answer, but the fact stands and stands out
boldly thatin the matter Of slow speed and in that
OF disagreeable grip management the road in
question stands without peer in any part of the
country. This is a matter which. as much as any,
thing else, has served TO cause strangers to rid
icule Philadelphia, and whatever else should
be done to give fresh impetus to business the
Improvement Of the traction system should be
the first thing demanded.
