RAILWAY MAIL SERVICE.
Measure Looking 10 a. Small Increase
in Pay of Harsi- Working Employees.

Special to the Indianapolis Journai.
WASHINGTON, Dec. $40 class of men
employed in the civil service of the govern
ment deserve more consideration than the
railway mail clerks Their work requires
the highest intelligence and they are per-
sonally exposed 10 more danger of death
or mutilaton by accident or crime than
any other men in the governments employ.
1t is only question OF time when the
present popular abhorreace of a civil pen
sion list will be 20 far modified as to pro-
vide pension for such railway mail clerks
as are permanently injured while duty,
and pension for the widow or the chill
dren of those who are killed on their cars.
The first bill introduced al the present ses-
sion of Congress. is a measure looking to
a small but well-earned increase of pay
and was introduced. by Representative Lin
ton. of Michigan 1t provides for reor-
ganization of the service. The clerks are
to be divided into ten classes instead of
five, as at present. and the range or salaries
instead of being from $500 TO sl.40o, Is in
creased TO from $500 TO 81 500. The follow
ing is the classification and the proposed
salaries Original appointments shall be
made TO Class for probationary period
at a salary not exceeding $500 per year.
After a probation of six months the APP
pointment may be made permanent Pro-
motion may then. follow from one class
less than six months. The advance of sal
airy is at the rate Of an additional hundred
dollars for each class promoted. On lines
upon which full railway postoffice cars
have not been authorized by the Post
master-general, where there is only one
clerk, and who runs an average of ITO
miles or more per day he shall be of Glass
). If the daily average of miles run is
less than 10 ana not less than 100. the
clerk shall be of Class 4; If less than one
hundred and net less than ninety, the
clerk shall be of Class 81 if less than ninety
and more than eighty. the clerk shall be
of Class ?. IL the average distance run
daily is eighty miles or less the clerk shall
be of Glass /. and the salary shall be
ten dollars per annum for each mile Of the
daily average OF miles run; provided, that
the clerks OF these classes, assigned as
above, are employed exclusively by the
Postoffice Department. On lines where full
railway mail are run, the crews
shall be made up thus: Crews OF two men
shall consist CT a clerk of Class and one
of Class s; three men. clerks of Glasses
s, and 5; four men, clerks of Glasses 8,

Well Fitted by Long Experience for
Public Service.

washington Special in Chicago Post.
Congressman Hit. of Illinois, has become
public life. He has grown in the esteem of
the people until he has become a very
large-sized man of affairs. He is attracting
an unusual amount Of attention just at the
present time because of the assurance that
he is going to be chairman of the House
committee on foreign affairs, and for the
additional reason that next to Dinghy, of
Maine, he is on closer relations with Speak
er Reed than any man in America If for
tune should decree the promotion of the
ear TO the presidency Mr. Hit will be
canG! beyond any doubt to the premiership.
Mr.. lit is one of the best living illustra-
tons OF the development OF an American
citizen. He possesses TO an extraordinary
degree that peculiar. indefinable essense
which we designate by the name of char
acter"-that something which commands
confidence and respect. His first broad ex-
perience in public affairs when he re-
ported the joint debate between Lincoln and
Douglas In 1860 He was at that time a
hustling stenographer. and a few years
later. when ne was the official reporter of
the United States Senate, he ranked as the
foremost shorthand reporter in the United
States. He became associated with Oliver
p. Morton when that old Roman was war
Governor of Indiana. and was secretary of
the Senator's committees for several years.
Senator Morton leaned upon Mr.. Hit as
he never leaned upon any other man. He
was the Indiana statesman's main reliance.
polished off many of his speeches and in
every way backed him up in the most loyal
and broad-gauge way. He is a close stu
dent, and many years ago he was recog-
nized by scholars one of the hest lin
gusts in the country. having perfect COM
mand of more than dozen languages He
has always been a man of correct habits,
and amassed a comfortable competence be-
fore he had passed middle age. Mrs Hit
brought TO the family a large fortune The
later years OF his life have been wholly
given 10 the public service. unhampered by
the necessity of adding TO his store OF
worldly possessions. In consequence he is
to-day one of the most mature and infiuer-
tial men in Congress, and. although he has
just passed through the ordeal OF a desper-
ate sickness. he gives physical and inte.-
lectual promise OF twenty years more Of
useful service TO his country. Illinois has
good reason TO be proud of the coming
chairman OF the committee on foreign af-
fairs.

PENSION LEGISLATION.
Measures Introduced I'm Congress
During First Week of the Session.


Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-The first week
of the session OF Congress brought forth
a number of pension bills. 1t is the general
belief that there will be no legislation in the
line of a service pension and that there
is but scant prospect of increasing the pit
lance now doled out to the veterans, but
an earnest effort will be made to secure
to the pensioner the rights that are his
but which the present Commissioner Of
Pensions seems to regard as privileges gra-
ciously accorded him. In addition TO the
bill of Mr.. Overstreet, of Indiana. making
a pension a vested right. which was out
lined in these dispatches last Monday, and
which Mr.. Overstreet has since introduced
in the House, there has been offered SIM
liar measure by Representative Mahon, of
Pennsylvania. Mr.. Overstreet has also in
troduced his bill amending the existing
law so that all pensions are hereafter tc

Waited Seventeen Years.

MORRISTOWN, ". j., Dec. 5.-William
Job and Miss Sarah A. Ennis were married
last Thursday in the parsonage o. the NJ. E.
Church by Rev. George p Eckman. There
have been numberless marriages in quaint

from all the weddings on record in that

greater distance from her home in Corn-

valuable knowledge of mines and minerals
He fell in love with pretty, black-ha.red,
rosy-cheeked, brown-eyed Sadie Ennis, 4
neighbours child. Poverty frowned on VIII
liam's hopes, but he was brave at heart,
and at nineteen years of age William told
Sarah of his love.
Did she love him? Would she be true ana
wait? Her answer was satisfactory So OH

steamer and watched the hills of his native
land fade below the horizon. He landed in

he had looked for. nor what his studies had
