RErRENCHsIENT AND REFORM.

The inefliciency of the postal service during the former Cleveland admins
 tration was a matter of common no-
 toriety. Never before had the depart ment been so poorly managed and the public so poorly served. It is now just nine months since MT. Cleveland re- turned to the White House, and al- ready has the same ineiliciency began to manifest itself in the postal depart ment. In another place TIE OASIS reprints a statement from the Will COX StOckman touching upon the pos tai service at that place. The same state of affairs exists at nearly every post office in the country, and the com plaints continually arising are set to the same old tune of those of lss6-T-s
 Recently TIE OASIS editor has had little experience in that line. In August he mailed at AriZola an im- poItant letter plainly addressed to IL. L. Henry, Aztec, San Juan Co.,, \. NJ. " Recently this letter was returned to him from the dead letter office at Washington, and the various post marks showed that it had reached PhpniX. Arizona, on August 18th. was there advertised September Fist, thence forwarded to the dead letter office, where it was duly recorded, the page and number of the record volume appearing on the envelope; but it had never been anywhere near Aztec, New Mexico. the place to which it was ad- dressed. In November, three months after it was mailed it was returned to Arizola without once having been within two hundred miles of the place to which it was plainly addressed. It seems remarkable that in all the chain of officials handling that letter some one of them could not have noticed that it was no way intended to go to Phoenix.
 This is only one instance of many daily occurring in the era or ''retrench ment and reform inaugurated and put in operation by MT. Cleveland in both of his administrations. And the fault lies in the very proposition that it is a reform administration. Instead of doing the business of the country as it should be done the administration bends it's every energy to finding fault with the extravaganza of former ad- ministratiOns, and cutting down eX- penses. As result an already over worked force of public servants has more work thrown upon it's personnel, and the efficiency of the service suffers. There is the whole thing in a nut shell. A republican administration does what is to be done, let it cost what it will and the public is guarded against inconvenience and annoyance, while a democratic administration busies itself with fruitless endeayor to make one dollar do the work of two, to the great detriment of the public and finally three or more dol lars are spent where with proper ad- of affairs two would have RetrencAment and reform are elegantly sounding platitudes with which to garnish political platform or g public speech: but they don't transact business.

Our free trade friends assert that we should let down the bars, not only to let in foreign commercial interests, but that American commercial inter- ests can get out and profit by reaching the markets of the world. AS part of her policy of reaching the markets of the world Great Britian establishes naval stations and maritime colonies at all strategic points, where she can command routes of transportation. Yet the very party that proposes q cosmopolitan policy for the United States throws away the chance to dom- mate the Pacific Ocean by skipping Hawaii in the face, and refusing the island country protection or admission.

WAITING FOR HIS MONEY.
Billy Murphy Tells Why He Is
lingering in Frisco.

NEW YORK, Jan. I'm dispatch to
his manager in this city Billy Murphy,
the Australian featherweight, gives his
reasons for not starting for this city
when he received his expense money
last week. Murphy declares that the
California club has not as yet paid over
to him his share of the purse for which
he fought a thirty-round draw with
White, and as soon as the organization
gives him his money he will leave
Frisco for here Immediately. Regard
ing his draw with White and the poor
showing he made, Murphy says:
Il could have done much better, and
perhaps would have whipped White
easily, only that my fight with Griffin
made me act carefully, lest l should in
jure my hands. l would not take any
reckless chances, and l think [ did
right. There is much more at stake for
me with Griffin and greater reputa-
ton in view. l am waiting patiently
to get my money, and just as soon as
do will start for New York"
Murphy is to meet Griffin Feb. be-
fore the Coney Island Athletic club for
purse Of $4,000 and the championship

that challenge right will come in the

That is to say. no games will be played
