may take them two or three days to do
it, sleeping at night and living on a
little pinole. They bring in the horses

The POSTAL SERVICE.
Information Furnished by the First As
sistant Postmaster General.


sistant Postmaster General.
WASHINGTON, Nov. l3.-First Assist
ant Postmaster General Frank III.
Jones, of Illinois, who has super
vision of the divisions of salaries
and allowances, free delivery, post
office supplies. money order sys-
TEN, dead letter office and corre-
spondenee, has submitted his annual
report for the year ended June
20 last to the postmaster general.
The report is a very interesting one
and covers the most important
branches of the service. Mr.. Jones
reviews his recommendation of last
year as to the growing evil of boycott
ting of post Offices. He says:
The compensation OF postmasters at post
Offices OF the fourth class consists mainly OF
the cancellation OF postage stamps upon mat
ter actually mailed at their Offices. In many
cases, owing to political differences, selfish
motives OF storekeepers, petty jeaiousies or
personal feeling from other causes. the COM
pensation Of pOstmasters is serious cur
tailed by collecting and mailing letters on
the cars. or sending them TO an
djoinng post ONCE for mailing, thereby de-
priving the fourth-elass postmaster OF his
cancellations, and consequently reducing his
salary aud deprivtng first and second-class
I poStinasters OF their SAFE OF stamps. thereby
reducing the receipts and Office allowances.
This is carried to grievous extent in some
communities. and is such an interference with
the usual and regular disposition OF the mails
as in my judgment calls for legislation by con-
gress."
The report shows the total allowance
| for clerks hire to have been SIS, go, 33l,
and S5,719, 900 on account of salaries TO
postmasters at presidential offices, of
which there were 3, 402. The gross re-
ceipts of those offices was SIS, 6S5, OPS
/ for the year. New York has the
largest number of post offices of any
state, leading with ESQ, and Pennsyl-
vania second with 24s. Sixteen million
dollars were appropriated on account
/ of the postmasters' salaries this year.
and Mr. Jones estimates that $40, $780,
/ 600 will be sufficient for the next fiscal
year.
/ Mr.. Jones suggests that the expert
mental free delivery in towns and viii
/ lagos be discontinued at the close of
the current fiscal year. He says the
proposed system of rural free delivery
would result in an additional cost to
| the government of about $50, 600 for the
I first year, and he is not in favor of the
| scheme
