SOME POSTAL REFORMS,
Changes Which II fs Said Mr. Bisseu
VIII Recommend.

VIII Recommend.
1t Is said that Mr.. Bissell thinks that the
act Of July "a. 1883. limiting the annual
rental of third-class post offices to $500, and
the annual allowance for light and fuel to
500 should be so amended that these allow
ances shall be discretionary with the de-
partment. and that he will so recommend
In his annual report. As conditions vary
with localities the limitations mentioned,
1t is said, should be repealed. 1t is said also
that Mr.. Bissell will recommend that the
existing law be so changed as to authorize
the Post Office Department to provide boxes,
fixtures, incidentals and Stationery for
Presidential offices. At present, these mat
tiers are provided for by the Treasury De-
partment. when the post Office is located in
a government building. but when In a leased
building. they are provided by the owner
Of the premises. At some offices the post
master or patrons have been compelled to
furnish all the fixtures and incidentals of
the office. Mr.. Bissell thinks that all the
Presidential offices should be placed on the
same footing
Another important question on which, 1t
is said. Mr.. BisseE will make important
recommendations, is the question of the
compensation Of fourth-class postmasters.
At present they are paid on the basis Of
stamps Cancelled and are allowed their box
rental
1t Is said that Mr.. Bissell does not think
this compensation is sufficient to secure the
best service. 1t Is also stated that the
Postmaster General believes that although
the act of March 2. 1850, making provision
Tor the classification and fixing of the salar-
les OF clerks in first and second-class post
offices has unquestionably resulted in the
improvement of the service, yet the maxi
mum salaries for certain classes of service
are not high enough to secure the ablest
clerical assistance.
The feasibility of rural free delivery has
not, 1T is claimed. been demonstrated, and
the Postmaster General is said to be op-
posed to the project. The appropriation for
the maintenance of the free delivery sys-
TEN fell short of the expenditures in round
numbers S6S0OO. The rules and regula-
lions for the government of letter carriers
have been drafted, and will soon be pro-
mulgated. They will have a uniform opera-
ton throughout the country
Mr.. Bissell is said to recommend a merger
of the postal note into the money order
The Postmaster Generals report II is
said, will contain a recommendation for
provision for the families of railway postal
clerks killed on duty. He believes that such
measure of relief would promote the good
of the service. Mr.. Bissell is also said to
favor the enlargement of the Organization
of the railway service and the employment
OF an auxiliary corps Of clerks.

Springfield. Mass. In October. 1913, and
came here as a clerk in the ordnance bureau
of the War Depar tment when scarcely of
age; he rose to the position of chief of a
division in which Messrs. b. II. Warner
and Drs. Hickling and Sonenschmidt were
clerks. After the close of the war he stud
led law with Mr.. Samuel l.. Phillips and
was admitted to the bar on October -. 1866.
He was soon known a bright, promis-
ing lawyer and rose rapidly.
Mr.. Williams had been a sufferer from a
heart affection and stomach trouble since
boyhood and often was found in his place
when suffering excruciating pains, but for
a few years past he has been unable at
times to attend to business. He was the
last of seven children to die. his mother,
now in her ninety-fourth year. surviving
him. His mind was perfectly clear up to
few moments of his death and in reply to
a friend. ten minutes before he died, he
said: When die. which will be today. and
in a few minutes, i will be fifty years. one
month and eight days DID,
The funeral will take place at 2 o'clock
on Monday afternoon. and the interment
will be in Rock Creek Cemetery.
Omcial Compliments.
Prosecuting Attorney Mullowney an
nounced the death of MIR. Williams in Judge
Millers court today and spoke feelingly of
the deceased, referring to him a con-
scientous and honest advocate, who was
feared by the ablest lawyers. Although
not gifted with flights of eloquence his ear
nest and able manner never failed to i'm
press upon the minds of the court and jury
the merits of the case.
In conclusion he moved the adjournment
Of the court out OF respect to the memory
OF deceased
Mr.. Darlington seconded the remarks of
Mr.. Mullowney and told of his visits to the
bedside of the deceased during his last
hours when he asked that his friends be
told goodbye and wanted them to know
of the love he had for them. His last acts
were characteristic of his life, which was
remarkable one Mr. Darlington spoke
of the GOODNESS of the deceased under the
most trying circumstances and spoke of
him a man whose word was as good as
his bond.
Judge Miller said he cheerfully acqui-
esce1 In what had been said of the de-
ceased and told of his many good traits at
the same time complimeEting him as an
able lawyer. Upon conclusion of the judges
remarks the court adjourned.

MIR. NfmmO Thinks Canada's Dfscrim
fnatiOn should BE Checked.
Mr.. Joseph Nimmo, jr., formerly chief Of
the treasury bureau of statistics has fled
with the ways and means committee of
the House of Representatives his answers
to certain inquiries that were propounded by
the members of the committee when he ap-
peared before them during the extra ses-
sion, with especial reference to the differ
ence in the cost of agricultural production
between the United States and Canada
The cost of agricultural production in the
state of New York, he says, is ~ per cent
higher than the cost of such production in
Canada and from 10 to 20 per cent in ex
cess of the duties laid on the agricultural
products of Canada. The Dominion gov
eminent imposes highly protective duties
on the agricultural products of the United
States. That government has also for
years maintained a policy of aggression
against American commercial interest
from the banks of Newfoundland to Nan
eouver Island. This now justifies retalia-
tory measures in Mr.. Nimmo's opinion
The state of New York, he adds, is first in
wealth, first in commerce. first in manu-
features and among the first in agriculture
The agriculture of New York is absolutely
dependent upon the home markets of tho
state and very largely upon the markets
created by its manufactures.
In replying to an inquiry in regard 10
the effect of protective duties upon the in
terests of consumers Mr.. Nimmo in a some
what spirited manner, reviews the various
objections to protection. He discusses the
commercial and political aspects of our
Canadian relationship and closes with an
earnest plea in favor of submitting the
whole tariff question to the test of the his
toric results of protection during the last
thirty-two years.
