CLIMBING THE LADDER.

The Training of Clerks In the Railway
Mail Service.
The training of clerk in the railway
mail service is necessarily severe. His
first appointment after he has passed
the civil-service examination is really
no appointment at all. He is simply
named as substitute without COM
pensation, unless he chances to make
an occasional run IN place of one of the
regular clerks As substitute he finds
opportunity to familiarize himself
enough with the requirements of the
service to receive an appointment on
trial at eight hundred dollars year.
His regular work will then be little
more than lifting pouches in and out of
the car, or shifting them in the racks;
but he should be able to find time to
memorize the distribution for certain
section of the line. This requires that
he should know by heart the names of
from nine hundred to fifteen hundred
post offices, and whether they are on
the main line OF, not, or, if not. at what
junction letters for any particular
office leave the line. He is examined
every month at table. and pigeon
holes at the headquarters of his division.
Cards bearing the names of all the
offices in the section on which he is ex-
amined are given him to distribute in
the pigeon-holes according to routes,
and record is kept of the results. If
he acquits himself creditably, and the
chief clerk in his rolling post office re-
ports favorably on his mental, physical
and moral qualifications, he is pro-
noted, when a vacancy occurs, to the
next higher gradient 1900 year. Mean
while his monthly examinations con-
tinue, and he is obliged to ada section
after section to- his knowledge, until.
as they say in the service he knows the
requirements OF his route" which
means on important routes the mem0~
rizing of from 5000 to 100000 offices,
and the1ines by which they arsreached.
He has then a chance of promotion TO
Class III. at $1,000 year, and If he

for the Strip.
WASHINGTON, May 6.-Secretary Car
Isle accorded an audience &c. ]. Har-
ris, E. E. Starr, E. T. Cunningham and
d. w. Swipe, representing the Cher
olzee Indians. Under the treaty con-
cluded between the United States
and the Indians, the Cherol1ees
coded a large tract of land to
the United States, commonly known
as the Cherokee outlet, for which
they receive in cash 1895, 736, and
the United States contracts to pay them
in the future, beginning March 4, 1895,
100000 in five equal installments,
the deferred payments to draw interest
at the rate of per cent. per annum.
The Cherokee Indians do not want the
last four payments in cash when it is
due, but have submitted a proposition
to Secretary Carlisle to issue bonds for
$3.50, 900, bearing interest at the rate
of per cent. annually, the bonds and
interest to be guaranteed by the
United States government and to run
for term of years, and for the first
payment of 81 $3.50. 900 to be paid in cash
when due. interest in the meantime
running at the rate of 4 per cent. as
provided by the law.

His War Policy VIII Have to Undergo .
Change.
Ex-President Harrisons services have
been secured as lecturer on interna-
tional law at the Stanford university in
California, and Senator Stanford is re-
ported as saying that he ''had an alb
horrepce of war, and had suggested to
Gen. Harrison that in his lectures he
should devote himself to any extent he
desires to arguments for peace and arbi-
tration.'' 1t will be interesting to hear
Gen. Harrison lecture in favor of arbi-
tration, considering how much he did
when in power to uphold, in his deal
ings with Chill, that view of national
honor which makes arbitration, as a
means of settling international dis
putes, difficult. The Chilians We're in
great trouble when the Valparaiso riot
occurred; there was no reason for be-
lieving that the government authorized
or approved of it, or were reluctant to
pu nish the rioters. There was no doubt
of our capacity to conquer the country
in single campaign. if we chose. The
case was one, therefore, which eminent
ly called for delay, and patience and
forbearance, for, in short, the dis
play of faith in peaceful meth
obs President Harrison, however,
from the very first, permitted
the navy department to shower threats
on the Chilians. in such volume as to
make it very difficult FOR a high-spirited
people to apologize and make amends,
and to commit the American press and
public to war policy towards small
feeble power. His getting in war
message on Monday because he had no
telegram on Saturday is fresh in every
body's memory. Should he come out
now as a supporter of arbitration, we
trust that he will bear in mind that
peaceful, peace-loving state of the pub
lie mind is necessary to make arbitra-
ton successful, and that to produce
this state the duelistic view of honor
has to be laid aside. It was as difficult
to persuade people, when they found
we had nice new navy, that honor did
not require us to fight the Chilians
promptly last year, as it would have
been to convince n South Carolina gen.
tleman in 1859 that as good gentlemen
as he here at the north kept their honor
in good condition without either occa-
sionally shooting at anybody or being
occasionally shot at In short, in order
to have peace or peaceful modes of set
thing differences, we have to cultivate a
peaceable disposition.-N- Y. Post.

SETTLED OUT OF COURT.

The Case of the Ohio Wesleyan Uniyer-
sity Hazers.
DELAWARE, o., May 6.-The case of
the Ohio Wesleyan university hazers,
which has attracted attention through
out the country, has been settled and
withdrawn from the courts. Ever
since the postponement of the trial a
week ago negotiations for the
settlement have been going on.
Thursday night the parties met
and signed written contract,
according to the terms of
which the Juniors agree to drop all
legal proceedings. both criminal and
civil, and the hazers agree to make
good all the expenses which have been
incurred by their victims, including
physicians and attorneys bills and in
cidentals. 1t is generally conceded
that conviction under the
standing charge would be impossi-
BILE, beyond assault, and quiet
settlement was considered the best
move under the circumstances. The
case is still in the hands of the faculty,
but it is understood that public re-
traction of the statements made in their
published reply to the faculty will be
required of them and will be read in
chapel by the students themselves.

THE RESPONSIBILITY.
Eacts which Condemn the Republican
Financial Policy.

| Facts which Condemn the Republican
Financial Policy.
When an imminent danger threatens,
| the first thing to do is to avert it. It is
| time enough to inquire into the causes
of the danger afterwards.
This is plainly the right policy in re-
gard to the existing financial difficulty.
But the organs Of the discarded repub-
sense and the patriotism of great ma
jority OF the people by assertions that
''about money the democratic party is
not to be trusted" and that the stheavy
loss of gold" is occasioned by the fact
that ''an overwhelming prejudice with
in the democratic party favors silver
payments"
1t is due to the truth of history to
meet this misrepresentation at once
with plain statement of incontest-
able facts:
l. When the democratic administra-
ton came into power, on the 4th of
March, the ''heavy loss of gold" under
repu blican rule had left but 1887, goo of
''free gold'' in the treasury, whereas
when the democrats went out of power
four years before the amount of free
gold above the 500, 900, 900 reserve
turned over to Mr.. Harrison was S97,-
S74, 422.
g. There has been no democratic
clamor i'm favor of silver payments. On
the contrary, Senators Voorhees, and
Cocl1rell, prominent advocates of free
coinage, have approved the determina-
ton of the administration to pay in
gold.
8. The most active cause of the pres
ent difficulty IS the republican silver
act of 1890, under which, as Secretary
Carlisle says, "the government has
been and now is paying gold for silver
bullion and storing the silver in the
vaults, where it is as useless for any pur-
pose of circulation or redemption as iron,
lead or any other commodity"
4. The suggestion of and authority
for silver redemption are contained in
this same republican law, which directs
the secretary of the treasury to ''coin of
the silver bullion purchased under this
act as much as may be necessary to pro-
vide for the redemption of the treasury
notes herein provided for"
In fixing responsibility stick to the
facts. But first of all, let all good citi-
zens sustain the governments policy to
maintain the public credit and keep the
public faith--N Y World
