Those ColOred Substitutes.

Mr.. EDITOR:
/ read with much gratifjca
ton, your manly editorial in the |
PLANET exposing the attempt to
starve out the colored substitutes at
the Richmond Post Office.
In order that the people at large
may understand the merits of the
case, allow me to make the following
explanation The Civil Service reg
ulations require that all vacancies
occurring Ia the regular force OF let
ter carriers shall be filed by the pro-
motion of the substitutes In the or
der of their standing. Now as these
three cvlored substitutes out rank
all of the white ones, no white letter
carriers can be appointed until these
three coiored "subs" are disposed
of, either by appointing them to DO
sitions In the regular force or by
forcing them to resign. Therefore If
the order has gone forth, as you
seem to think to give work only to
the white substitutes except when
there is more than they can do, the
motive is obvious enough.
Such a course as that of which you
complained as being now pursued at
the Richmond Post Office may be
according to the letter of the Civil
service, but it is pretty evident that
1t Is not In accordance with it's spirit
1t Is very doubtful If the practice of
such methods is known to President
cleveland and it Is equally certain
that he would not approve of it.
Many persons labor under the i'm
lpression that the substitute letter
carriers receive q regular salary
from the Government. But such Is
} not the TACT. When q regular CART.
/ or is out of place for any cause, the
! substitute serves In his place and
while he was thus serving, receives
the same pay that regular carrier
: would receive. This is all the substi
; tute gets. III he does not get 6
chance to serve In the place of som,
: regular carrier, he does not receive {
! cent.
: When it Is remembered that thes
three colored men have been holding
on for nearly two years withou
9 making enough for their support
a with the hope of promotion, it Is pc
8 cuIiarly hard that they should a
. this late day, be compelled to yiel
+ their places to others who have no
t served one fourth of that time.
% To require the colored substitute
10 to report three times a day, viz: q
10 z, 1890 and $3.50 O'Clock which pr,
cludes the idea of their obtainin
ID anything else to do without runnin
1t the risk of losing their places at tt
rs Post Office and at the same time II
Of fusing to give them any employmer
st except when there Is more than IL
D. white ones who are their juniors, ca
It do, is down right cruelty.
In If th3ss Colored substitutes coul
rs be forced out of the way, no doul
c. you would see many changes ma,
n in the regular force of letter carrier
ut But now these black men block &
Sc whole game and no more can
DE made on the chequer board till tn
ke are out of the way.
We Seeing the unenviable position
q these three young men, and the pr,
Vn sure that is being brought to be

Die mond ought to encourage them
es all honorable means to hold out
let their change comes, which must
sre sooner or later.

LabOr's Lament.

We are starving, Grover, starving,
And our strength is going fast,
Won't you kindly tell us Grover,
How much longer this will last ?
Oh, we loved you, Grover, loved you,
And we shouted with the mob,
And we helped elect you, Grover
But you see we lost our job.
Now we stand before you, Grover,
Homeless, hungry and forlorn.
Thinking of the past, dear Grover,
Sorry We were ever born.
You were fishing, Grover, fishing,
While our children cried for bread,
While you hunted snipe, dear Grover
We by charity were fed.
Yes, we loved you, Grover, loved you,
Through our love for you we fell
Now befooled, betrayed, forsaken,
Grover, dear, a long farewell.

Anderson, Ind, Dec. 5.-The Pence
Transfer Companys omnibus horses for
several years have been driven over the
same routes for thirty-two trains daily.
They have become accustomed to the train
schedules, and when the Big Four made
marked changes several weeks ago they
entered protests when they were not taken
from their stalls at the same time or
driven TO the old depot They have made
the same rounds for both the Panhandle
and Midland, and also know exactly
when the trains on those roads go.
Several days ago the driver was late for
the Cincinnati mad train. The horses
waited until within few minutes Of train
time, and then struck out Of their own
accord. They made the calls at the Doxey,
Anderson. Griffith, and Spencer hotels, and
then,to the postoffce for the mail. 1t was
thrown on. thinking the driver was on
the seat Then they started on run for
the depot, and turning, backed the bus to
the platform and stood waiting for the
driver who appeared few moments later,
much chagrinned. They did not arrive
minute too early for the train, however,
and the mail was thrown on by the sta
ton men.
Yesterday exactly the same thing hap
pened. the horses making the circuit of
all the hotels and stopping for the passen-
gers to get in. This time several boarded
her, not noticing that the driver was miss
ing They were taken to the depot in
safety. The bus backed up, and, but for
the opening OF the door and the collection
of tickets OF fare. everything was as
usual. This time they were not too early,
ether
The horses are beautiful bays, and are
very careful when making the trip by
themselves. They will not scare at any
thing and any Andersonian would be will
ing to risk his life behind them when
turned loose TO make train.
