Then the families of the incoming Presi-

bv their arrival. and after that the Official
announcement Will be made that President
Harrison has no more communications TO
make To the Senate. That IS generally the
closing act of the Presidents term. 1t has
been varied as for instance, when on Mr.
Cleveland's Inauguration General Grants

has ueen attending him all the morning.
He sits lust in front of the Nlce-Presidonts

of Announcing that the Nlce-President

now administer to him the oath OF ofhce."
The gentleman has never been known to
object at this point and then the presiding
officer with due solemnIty says: You 90

States against all enemies, foreign and
domestic that you will bear true
faith and allegiance TO the same that

AARp-WoRKeD POSTAL CLERKS.
A Bill Before Congress TO Classify and
Regulate Their Salaries.

Perhaps tho hardest worked man in the
employ of the United States Government
and Droportionately the poorest paid Is the
postal clerk. He stands st his case from
twelve TO fifteen hours every day, ana
when the mails are unusually heavy or
when through illness or from other cause
a felloT-clerk is absent the hours are
longer. He is not paid for overtime. al
though nine hours IS supposed to constl-
tute o days work.
Some wears ago, SAYS the New York
World the postal clerks organized ma
tional association, and as a direct result OF
its work there is now pending before Con-
gress n bill entitled A bill for classifying
and regulating the salaries of clerks IN the
first and second-class post-otices." 1t was
fayorably reported upon bythe COMMITTEE
on Post-Ofices and Post-Roads on January
18th.
The New York branch Of the association
cot up a petition which contained the sig
natures Of 10, 900 merchants and business
men of this city, and Governor Flower
and Congressman Corcoran, Dunphy. War
ner, and Cummings have promised their
support. George 4. Roesch offered JOINT
resolutions in the New York Senate on
January 24th urging the passage OF the
bill and requesting Speaker crisp to TX an
early date OF Its consideration. The letter
have q graded system Of promotion. The
postal clerks advancement IS entirely at
the option of his superintendent or out
side political influence.
According 10 the new bill the clerks are
evenly divided into first and second class.
rated according to the length or service.
The salaries of the first class are Sl,4OO,
81, 800. 81. 200, Sl.l0O, and $1,000 per year.
The second-class clerks enter at q salary
r.lsal \ nhl
each wear until $500 Is reached. All APP
poIntments are made to the second class:
In his last report Postmaster-General
Wanamaker said:
1.-The carriers are placed upon definite
and determined scale of salaries, and that
is we'll. Not so the post-offce clerks. and
vet the duties of the latter are
more exacting; their hours OF LABOR
(days, nights. and Sundays) are longer;
their work is indoors, and often IN
unyentilated rooms. and often, too. IN un-
healthy Easements lighted by gas and. in-
deed, for these reasons and because OF their
liability TO contagious diseases their occu-
patton is more dangerous. Yet the present
classification law works great injustice
and hardship to them. In the past year,
as Postmaster Hale. of Minneapolis. writes
me, 104 persons have sought examinations
for the carrier service against twenty ap..
plications for clerkships. Undoubted
facts like these are not wanting to attest
the gross injustice.

the need of reclassifcation in the first
and second-cass offices. These now num-
ber 796 and show receipts By the recent ad-
justment aggregnting S45, ,462.624, or g.. IL
