Postal Employees.

There must be contraction, cOnsoldi-
ton and simplfication. and with it all
the extension of facilities everywhere
will be not only possible, but perfectly
easy and natural.
New buildings and pneumatic or an
electrical service of some kind are
strenuously advocated for New York

Wanamaker says:
.In my report of a year ago | said.
and have now to say, that 0ne-cent let
ter postage is near possibility"
The postmaster general also advocates
classification of clerks and submits
bill for the purpose; urges regular
paw for substitute carriers for leaves OF
absence; advocates the abolition OF box
rents and private letter Offices; urges
the reduction of money order fees, the
simplification Of the postal note so that
it better supplies the need of fractional
CURRENCY, and suggests how applica-
tionS for money orders can be made
easier. The report closes with the fol-
lowing:
my ideal for the American postal
service is a system modelled upon dis
trict plan. with fewer offices. and those
grouped around central offices and
under thorough supervision. BY this
means at least 10000 offices could be
abandoned that produce nothing to the
department. In the place of every abol-
ished non-money order and non-register
office might be put an automatic stamp
| selling machine and letter box to re-
ceive mail. With the money saved
should be instituted system Of cOllec-
ton and delivery by mounted carriers,

Judiciary committee refused to en-
dorse the absurd bill which Repre-
sentative Enloe introduced a short
time ago for the sole purpose of
trying tc get some evidence from
employees of the Pension Bureau
against Gen. Raum. The bill pro-
fessed to be for the protection of
such Government employees as
might testify before Congressional
committees concerning abuses in
the public service, but its real
object was TO encourage sneaks to
vent their private spite against
officials over them, either by "put-
ting up jobs" or by outright
perjury. The bill is dead.
Speaker Crisp considers the term

Affairs to the Indian Appropriation

agents whenever vacancies occur

cause lively little fight in the
Senate, with the chances against it
being adopted.

The Senate has passed an in
dependent bill appropriating $18,-
100000 for the Improvement of the
Mississippi River, in accordance
with the plans of the Mississippi
River Commission, not more than
$3,750,0O0 TO be expended IN a
single year. Only five Senators
voted against the bill, Call, Kyle,
Perkins, Pugh and Vance. This
bill has no connection with the
river and harbor bill, which has
been completed by the House com
mittee, and which carries nearly
$2l, 100000 of appropriations.
If there be any truth in rumors
Senator Hill has not profted by
getting knocked down by the House
election committee which, in spite
of his orders to the contrary, re-
ported in favor of giving the seat
now held by Rockwell, of New
York, to Col. Noyes, the Republi-
cans contestant, and he will make
the Tammany members fight the
report of the committee on the
floor of the House. If he does he
will regret it the longest day he
lives, as the Cleveland Democrats
would ask nothing better than such
an opportunity to show up the
methods of Hill.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.
WASHINGTON, d. c., March 2S. 1892.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March rs, 1892.
The Presidents backbone is made
Of true blue American material,
When he received Lord Salisbury
evasive answer to his plain request
for information as to what Great
Britain proposed to do in regard to
the preservation of the sealing in
dustry in Behring Sea, he sent
what is in effect an ultimatum to
the British government. So much
is known, although the text of
neither Lord Salisbury's dispatch
nor the answer thereto has been
made public, but both are in
possession of the Senate. Opinion
differs somewhat as to the effect
these dispatches will have on the
arbitration treaty, some believing
that the Senate will refuse to
ratify the treaty, and others that
the treaty will be ratified, but ac-
companied with resolution stating
that there does not appear to be
any sufficient reason why the
United States should abate its
claims to jurisdiction pending
arbitration and authorizing the
President to use ell the force of
the military arm of the Government
to protect our rights. The adoption
of such resolution would be next
door to declaration of war, in
deed Great Britain might easily
accept it as such, if she wishes for
war with this country.
The big silver fight is over, for
the present anyway. The anti-free

committee ON Rules as well as to
his own action in the chair, while
the Democratic caucus for the
nomination of SpeaEer was in
session, the last of which he
filled to the letter. the other day.
