ONE OF THE BENEFITS


WASHINGTON. Nov. 22--The extern
sion Of the benefits of the civil-service
laws to postal clerks on board ocean
steamers clears the way for a system
of transfers with the railway mail
service by which the sea clerks may 20
back to land duty and clerks employed
on trains be assigned 10 the ocean
steamers All the American clerks now
employed on mail steamships We're taken
from the railway mail service. Recent
ly some of these have desired to go
back 10 their old positions on shore.
but they found that the fact that they
were not in the classified service inter
fered with this. Now. however. these
clerks may have their requests granted
in this particular. and it is understood
that a number Of men now serving on
trains would be glad to take their
places. The sea clerks are given all
thei. meals free during the ocean jour
ney. and have a holiday while their
vessel is in port. and in addition to
these advantages they have the chance
70 see something of the world.

Now that they have accomplished
the purpose for which they shut down
and threw their men out of employ
ment. the republican mill bosses and
protectces generally are resuming
operations. full of animation and
buoyancy.
Says a Pittsburgh dispatch TO Chi
cago Mckinley organ: simultaneous
ly with the announcement Of results
came a notice from the Oliver < Rob
ers Wire company that the rod mill
would be started at once. Like many
of the other mills. it worked only when
the mill had orders The employers
were SO well pleased over the election
that orders to start up were given.
Other mill owners say they will now
replenish their stocks, and long and
prosperous period of activity Is looked
for
Miraculous. Ono would suppose
from this statement that the Mckinley
law was already restored. and that the
mill bosses were no longer afflicted
with the ..runous Wilson bill" But not
so. That bill is with us TO stay for more
than two years. at the least Of course,
the mill bosses know it, and when they
rekindle their fires and proceed TO
stock mp and hilariously give out
that they look for "a long and prosper
Gus period OF activity" they do
this avowedly because the election has
gone TO suit them they admit that
there is nothing at all ruinons about
the free trade bill" They admit
that they expect "a long and prosper
Gus period of activity" under that bill.
for every body knows they can get no
other bill for more than two years
They admit that neither the fear OF
tho bill nor the bill itself was the
cause Of hard times. but that they
themselves purposely made times as
bad as they could for electioneering
purposes
There may be some people who do
not see through their game now. but
there will not be many such two years
hence. Chicago Herald.
