The post Office department people say
! there was 10 politics ia the official 3oti-
iicatlon TO all postmasters at free
delivery Offices, that hereafter all sub.ti-
tuts letter carriers must be nominated
| from the eligible list; vacancies In the
carrier force must be filed, when practi-
| cable, by the promotion OF the senior
substitute; removal aud new employ
ments Of clerks and carriers must be re-
/ ported 10 the first assistant postmaster
carrier Is to be removed except for cause,
and upon written charges filed with the
post Office department., and full oppOr
tunlty given him for defense. All the
same IL has caused much talk among the
politicians. II viii, if properly carried
out, deprive the postmasters OF the
power Of appointing their subordluates. /
The theory has always been that the
appointments were made at the pos
Office department the postmaster merely
making recommendations, but as those
by the department tile postmaster prac-
tica6ly made The appointments himself !
The postmaster Will cease to be a power
Ia polite II the now rules be rigidy en-
forced.
Secretary Carlisle won his first wres.le
with the sugar planters, as 1t was gener-
ally supposed he would, the court having
declined TO Issue the mandamus asked
for by the planters, Oh the ground that
II had 10 authority 10 interfere with
SECRETARY Carlisle, In the performance VI
his constitutionalIy imposed duties, and
that congress was the proper parry To be
applied 10 by the planters. The beet
sugar men have a much better case. in
Their claim for bounty on sugar made
before the Tariff law took effect, but 20
far as known they have taken no steps
towards getting Their claim into court.
IL pay surprise many people 70 be told
that the Populists are running candidates
In 3O9 congressional districts, yet such Is
the fact. Chairman Tanbeneck, OF the
Populist campaign committee. takes
very rosy view OF the situation. He
said: "Our creates, gain VIII be Ia the
west and south. We VIII elect represen-
tatiye frsnl states In which We have
meyer succeeded before, Dotaole Illinois,
Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan and Min
nesota. In thirteen out OF the fourteen
states west Of the Mississippi river,
which have heretofore been Republican,
the Populists viii come out either Ia the
first or second place, and Ia most OF those
states the Democratic parry Will be in
the position OF d very Insignificant third
party"
The stealing OF postage stamps from
the bureau Of engraving and printing,
which was discoverod last week, may
result In big scandal. IL is impossible |
ut this time To say how many have been
stolen. That will not be known until ali |
