GEN. SUPERINTENDENT WHITE,
Of the railway mail service, has found
it necessary to issue notice that the
regulation making it obligatory upon
postal clerks to accept all matters Of
fered them at their cars, upon which
postage is properly prepaid, and for
ward it to destination, has not been
revoked, as has been stated by a num-
ber of newspaper of newspapers. The
idea that it had was created by a
former notice to clerks to report cases
of boycotting of postmasters, which
practice has been going on extensive
ly where Republicans have been put
out and Democrats put in. For in
stance: The deposed postmaster
makes up his mind to reduce the bust
and revenues of his successor. In or
der to do so he agrees to receive the
letters of the people, and to post them
on the mail car, thus reducing the
stamp cancellation of the postofflce.
In such cases the railway mail clerk
was ordered to close his car; and as
soon as the people found out that
their mail was delayed through the
"boycott" the practice was stopped
The order to watch and report upon
boycotting did not revoke the regula
ton regarding the general acceptance
of letters on postal cars, as Republi
can papers tried to make out. That
would greatly inconvenience many
travellers, who have to get their let
ters off quickly, and must post then
at the depots when the mail trains
come along. The instructions were
simply that the mail clerks should re
port all well-defined cases of boycott
ing; but it left them no discretion ir
regard to accepting or refusing mai
offered at their cars, without a specia
order. All they were required to do
in the first place, was to report to the
division superintendent, in order thai
the matter might be referred to the
department, to be properly deal,
with. In order that this mean system
of partisan warfare in the department
be properly met, every Republican
should be cleaned out.-PAt,sam Sen

THE Signal went far and near last
week to disprove our assertion that
the financial condition of the state
treasury was bad. 1t gave lots of Re
publican authority, which the general
people have found is not very reli
able-lie as hard as they will. But to
again show that the readers of the
Ngnalare being imposed upon by Bro.
Russell, we will in turn give little
Republican authority, which is taken
from a special dispat6s:. from Colum-
bus to the Toledo Blade, dated June
2, 1894, and can be relied upon, as it
comes through special and is not
manipulated for partisan purposes,
as was the proof Bro, Russell brought
forward last week:
''The State Treasury paid out more
money from the general revenue fund
during the month of May than in any
like period for several years. In all
the sum exceeded $500,0OO, and has
absorbed by far the greater part of
the issue of $5OO,OOO in certificates of
indebtedness authorized by the gen
eral assembly.
The anticipation of some revenue
by means of advance drafts will be
necessary prior to the August settle
ment, but it is confidently expected
the amount will not exceed $3.50, ,000.
AS long as it is not necessary to exceed
$500, 900 or $4OO, 900 in advance drafts,
the practice is not to be condemned,
as it prevents the locking up of large
sums of the peoples money where it
can do no one any good"
