WILSON'S LATEST ORDER.
Postal Employees Must Not Organize
to Secure Legislative Action


WASHINGTON, Dec. An import
ant order was issued today by Post
master General Wilson, directed
against the organizing of postal en-
ployees to secure legislative action.
Reports have been current for a COM
paratively long period that employees
of various classes were combining and
pooling funds to furnish the expenses
of committees or other representatives
sent to appear before the congressional
committee in behalf of legislation"
This action is now practically pro-
hibited and a penalty of removal i'm
posed by today's order, which is as fol-
lows:
"Ordered that hereafter no postman,
clerk. letter carrier, railway postal
clerk, or other postal employee shall
visit Washington whether on leave or
without pay for the purpose of influ-
encing legislation before Congress.
ANY such employee of the postal ser
vice who violates this order shall be
liable to removal.
"Postmasters and other employees
of the postal service are paid by the
government for attending to the re-
spective duties assigned them, which
do not include efforts to secure legiS-
lation. That duty is assigned to the
representatives of the people elected
for that purpose
"lf bills are introduced il either
branch of Congress affecting the postal
service, upon which any information
or Recommendation is desired, l am
ready at all times to sumblt such as
lies in nv power and province.
49, wv. l.. WILSON,
POSTMASTER General"

OHIO is UNITED.
Republican Delegation Will Support
Mckinley.

WASHINGTON, Dec. MARK Han
ma. of Cleveland, has Joined the Ohio
delegation looking after the interests
of Governor Mckinley during the
meeting of the Republican committee
and today, speaking of reports that
Ohio had some other candidate than
Mckinley, said: -'Ohio is absolutely
united in it's support of Governor Nc
Kinley and any reports that another
Ohio name will be presented to the ma
tional convention are mischieVous and
false. In the most formal manner the
Republican party of Ohio has presented
the name of Governor Mckinley to the
country as Ohio's choice to the presl-
dency. This was done at the state
convention and specifically announced
in the state platform"
Mr.. Hanna was asked as to the state
ment made by a gentleman named
Wood that the name of Senator Sher-
man would be presented to the ma
tional convention.
THAT is rot, pure and simple, said
Mr.. Hanna. Senator Sherman was
chairman of the big meeting held at
the time of the state convention when
Mckinley candidacy was the practically
unanimous sentiment The senator has
spoken in interviews and otherwise
in favor of Mckinley"

ward heard the news of his doom from
Sheriff Holmberg's lips The prisoner
evinced no signs of breaking down, but
on the other hand, repeated the awful
excavations against his brother Adry,

cation that he appreciated the serious
ness of his position.
well, Harry said the sheriff, as he
approached Hayward, ''Pve come to tell
you that the governor has signed your
death warrant and fixed it for next
Wednesday,"
That's id long time to wait for
railroad train," was the prisoners
ejaculation.
If you're in the depot its "a long
time" said the sheriff, but you're on
the track for eternity. You have a
good many things to consider before
Wednesday; you have little time left
to stay here"
Il know that 1 have little time" said
Harry. There are a few things I'd
like to straighten out and a few folks
I'd like to get even with. If [ had my
brother Adry here and with that
Harry stood up and clenched his fists
and shook them from side to side, add
ed: IF 1 had my brother Adry here [
would take his entrails out and stretch
them like a clothes line pack and forth
through this CELL
I'm not quite so mad at BliXt as
folks think, but if my father mother
and brother CDR. Hayward were dead
I would be the happiest man in the
world"
seWeu, Harry" the sheriff broke in,
81 see you have some sympathy left
in you yeti
NO" said Harry. ct have not any
sympathy, but feel where there ought
to be some"
Here Hayward began to dictate a
statement to Jailer West in regard to

cidents of his Jail life.

The Sultan Accedes.

LONDON, Dec. IA semi-official note
issued this afternoon. stating nothing was
known at the foreign office about the re-
port that the sultan had determined to
issue the firmans asked for by the powers
for the passage of extra guardships
through the DardanelleS.
A report that British blue Jackets rad
been landed to protect the British en-
bassy near Constantinople is not regarded
seriously, and if they were landed. the
action of the British naval commander
cannot be regarded as having been taken
in connection with the political situa-
ton.
A severe storm is raging across the con-
tinent, and to this is attributed that
no dispatches have been received To-Day.

dressed the court first, arguing that
the selectmen were entitled to 81 a
day and mileage to and from each
session of the county court and to the
per diem while engaged in committee
work.
Judge Howat-One of the questions
to the grand jury is whether mileage
can be charged each day.
Mr. Williams, continuing, said he
did not think it could be SO charged.
There were four sessions of the
county court each year, and mileage
could be claimed from the residence of
the selectmen or probate Judge to the
county seat for each of these sessions;

ton would assume that the legislature
required recording by the county clerk
to charge fees. Such an assumption
was absurd. The statute required that
the clerk record an abstract or memoir
andum for the county courts informa-
ton, and for this he was to receive
81. That was the only fee, said Mr..
Varian. that the county clerk was
authorized to claim.
As to the proposition that the clerk
could charge no fee unless specifically
authorized by the statutes Mr..
Varian cited the effect of Clerk STAN
tons view by the Illustration that if
d mans property was sold and he ar
ranged to redeem it, he must pay the
county clerk 81 for issuing the deed
and $3.50 for recording and acknoW-
lodging and then would have to pay
81 more for recording in the recorders
office, which position counsel held was
not tenable.

This morning he arrived and was met
at the station by his son, and taken to

REPRESENTATIVE VIM. L. WILSON

49, W
To the Editor of the Post Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 5.-This
Congress has accomplished a number
OF useful things. 1t has repealed the
purchasing clause of the Sherman ACT
and it has passed a tariff reform bill
The value of these accomplishments
cannot be overestimated. By repeal
ing the silver purchasing clause of the
Sherman law this Congress hiss laid
the foundation for a sound financial
system. By enacting a tariff reform
bill this Congress has carried OUT
Democratic pledges. The House par
ticularly acquitted itself well in this
particular.
The Importance of Congress in deal
ing with financial legislation during
the session just ended was due to the
fact that under universal suffrage
Congress represents the people of the
country. Congress is the mirror OF
the peoples views. The people have
not made up their minds on the fl
nancial question, and Congress mir
rors the different shades of belief and
opinion. But a campaign of eduea-
ton has been begun.

The Four Per Cents and Public Credit.
From the Kansas City Times.


The Boston Herald is adding moth
ing to its reputation either for fairness
or intelligence by assuming the char
-acrer or "me too,7 TO rne view rorK
World. 1t isn't adding much to its
character as a safe counselor when it
says the four per cents recently used
for the purchase of gold were reckon
ed at is per cent below their value.
On the day the contract was made
they had no settled or fixed value.
The outstanding bonds were declining
in price at the rate of from two to four
cents a day, and if another day had
gone by without checking the drain on
the Treasury eserv the value might
have gone down to rs cents on the
dollar, because a treasury default
would have been inevitable. But the
Secretary of the Treasury averted the
impending panic by disposing of the
bonds at 1041I and securing the alb
solute safety of the reserve.
The market changed instantly, and
the bonds are now worth 120. 1t would
be a good thing for the people if they
would continue to advance until 13(
was reached. Every cent of advance
in the price of the bonds strengthens
to the extent the credit of the gov
eminent and hastens the return Of
business activity.
