Tho Post-Ofice peoole.

The value OF organization has rarely
been more forcibly illustrated than in
the case of the United States letter-car-
riers. BY this means they long ago got
an eight-hour law passed by Congress,
and recently they secured from the Post
Office Department ruling which relieves
them OF all duties at the Office not d.
rectly connected with the business of let
ter-carrying. Heretofore, while not other
wise engaged. they have been required TO
assist In the clerical work of their office;
but of this they are now releved-re-
lieved under what appears to be proper
construction OF the law The result of this,
however. is that nearly every large post
Office in the country finds itself short of
clerical force, and the department has not
sufficient funds at its command to enable
1t TO authorize them to employ additional
help. The upshot Of this will be that the
clerks VIII have to work ten or eleven
get off with eight.
We do not blame the carriers for Sc
curing the legislation which has resulted
SO benefcially for them. The clerks viii
have to follow the carriers example.
They must organize and ask Congress
to put them under the eight-hour law;
extra pay for extra work. Congress cam
not but see the justice of their claim.
and give them the relief they ask. Already
the Richmond post-office clerks have per-
fected an organization of this character,
and we suppose the movement will be
general. In other governmental offices
the hours OF work do not exceed six or
seven--rarely do they exceed eight hours
The Dispatch has said over and over
again that of all the employees OF the
Federal Government the post-ofiice people
are worked the hardest. This we be-
lieve to be an indisputable fact. The de.
mands of the public upon post-ofiice peo-
pie are, great and small. numerous and
incessant. No other department of gov
eminent comes into such close contact
with the people; no other department
has to be so minutely watchful and par
ticular In all of its transactions.
What the letter-carriers have secured
for themselves is no more than their
deserts. But we trust that the clerks
will be equally fortunate. and that they
will not have to wait long for a law
which will give them the benefit Of the
eight-hour system.

A "FReE-sILveRlTs" CAPTURED.
Hanover in Line With the Tidewater
Counties on Immigration.

OFFLEY, VA, January H-(Special)-
The store of Mr.. Duke Cosby, at Negro
foot, was robbed few days ago III
very bold manner by colored youth,
who proved to be a free silverite' with
a vengeance In the broad daylight and
in fun view OF two public roads, ana
with the proprietor or the store In his
dwelling, only a few yards distant. the
w0uld-be till-tapper opened window IN
the rear OF the building and climbed
in. He was seen in this act by white
man passing along the road, who FASTENED
to notify the owner. but the agile thiei
escaped their clutches and took to the
woods, with eight dollars in silver as the
result of his financial Investigations. a
pocket-book containing between $40 ana
$50 in notes escaped his notice. H.
was pursued several miles, and fnaiiy
captured. and subsequently sent on T.

proposed measures will be vigorously
pressed, and that all the counties will
eventually embrace the opportunity Of

immigrants for the thousands and thou
sands of acres OF surplus land in the
State. The country Is getting poorer and
poorer and this seems the most promising
plan for general recuperation that has
been suggested.

the linking of these two schemes together

National Cable.

In the Senate, on Wednesday. as we
stated yesterday. Mr.. Hale gave notice
of an amendment TO the diplomatic and
consular appropriation bill approprating
100000 toward the construction OF teie-
graph cable between the United States
and the Hawaiian Islands, Mr.. Hale said
that recent events showed that the time
had come for the United States to have
close. near, and quick communication
with those islands. For our part we
cannot but favor Mr.. Hale's proposition.
because We expect the United States soon
to annex Hawaii to this country. Con-
stitutlonal objections TO annexation will
be raised and overruled, and so constitu-
tional objections to laying a cable from
San Francisco to Honolulu will be raised
and overruled. Uncle Sam needs Hawaii,
and is bound to have IT," soon or late
AS we have said In substance heretofore.
the party that opposed the acquisition Of
Florida, Louisiana, Texas. and Califor-
MIA. was frowned down by the American
public.

yourselves where Hawaii lies. and ask
