THE PAY OF POSTAL CLERKS.
The Superintendent of the Service Thinks IL
Much Too Small.

Much Too Small.
The inadequate pay received by postal clerks
Is the subject Of some emphatic remarks by
Capt Jas Z. White, the general superintend
ent Of the railway mail service. in his annual
report. He states:
The salaries paid are not large enough to
enable clerk having a large family TO sup
port it comfortably, to educate his children
properly, to acquire a modest home and to
store up something that may keep them from
want and restitution in the event Of his
death or disability. The nature of his occu-
patton is such US to demand his absence from
home, a rule. half the time. and this
doubles his outlay, for his living expenses are
much greater than at other times aud those Of
his family are not lessened by his absence: this
should be. but IL not, taken into account when
considering his salary"
Capt. White then reviews his recommends
tion for congressional action permitting the
Postmaster General to pay the sum of 81 900 to
the widow and minor children of each perma-
nent clerk killed while on duty and for addi-
honal provision for the injured. For those in
jured In the service he thinks an appropriation
OF $4,000 per annum would cover all cases.
Capt. White SAYS the department could use
these disabled clerks in division supply Offices,
as janitors of dormitories, watchmen and,
where competent for the class Of work required,
as assistants to chief clerks and as additional
help IN the Offices OF the superintendents when
ever such additions become necessary.
Capt. White reviews his recommendation for
a approximation act, favoring such legisla-
ton as would provide for the retirement on
partial pay of all permanent clerks who become
incapacitated for further service by reason Of
injuries received while on duty, but not in rail-
way wrecks, or who have by reason of long serv-
ice become too infirm to discharge the duties
devolving upon them satisfactorily
He strongly renews his recommendation for
an act permitting q reorganization Of the cleri-
cal force

He Thinks the Republican Party and Pro-

Representative Dingley Of Maine reached
Washington last night He was a. the Treasury
Department today and had an interview with
Secretary Foster. He IL looking remarkably
well and appears to be in the bes. Of spirits.
Speaking with STAR reporter he said: 81 do
not regard the democratic victory as indicating
their permanent success nor as putting an end
TO protection. 1 think the republican party
and protection will survive the defeat
and will be restored to full vigor. The
result of the election was due to several things,
but more than anything else to the Homestead
strike, and TO the fact that the democrats cap
tured the new foreign-born voters by represent
ing TO them that the republican party was the
party of rnouopoly and wealth and by making
great promises Of benefits to result from demo-
cratic success.
THAT Homestead business did us an immense
injury. There was hardly place where
spoke during the campaign that some one in
the audience did not cry out: How about
Homestead. II was impossible to counteract
the effect of that strike. We had full meetings
during the campaign. but We could not get at
the foreign-born voters and the people who
were influenced by the labor troubles. They
would not come"
THE CONGRESSIONAL SITUATION.
Speaking Of the congressional situation he
said: II do not think that there will be any
thing of Importance done during this session.
The democrats will undertake the revision of
the tariff during the next Congress, but they
will have difficuit task before them. They
viii be divided on the question. Some Of them
want to go ahead and carry out the program
