Postmaster Field of Philadelphia finds
it more difficult to get rid of his Office
than il was to get ii, an experience that
has fallen to the lot of but few office hold
ers. He has twice resigned, but each
time reconsidered at the urgent request
OF the Postmaster-Ge neral, who is anX-

ing brought into publicity by reports
from Washington that she may become

should do so, he would be arrested and
expelled or imprisoned.
