the white window curtains We're topped

draped with red, white and blue, and the
gem of the whole decoration was the
historic cherry tree and Ratchet. On the
centre table was placed a miniature
cherry tree with the ripe fruit, and at
the base two small wooden hatchets bear

Suspended from the chandeliers were
ribbons, crossed and recrossed with tiny

Post Omce BIackmaII.

Why should employees Of the Post ONCE
be privileged to levy tribute upon the
community any more han the police, the
firemen, the City Hall clerks or any other
class of public servants? What is there
about the uniform of a letter carrier that
carries a New Years gift with it. and
what is there about the stamp window
or the sorting room that makes the levy
of tribute on pretext of a Postal Guide
legitimate?
1t is about time this form Of petty
blackmail was stopped in this and all
other cities. if it takes an act of Com
gress to do it. All these people are well
paid; some of them particularly well
paid. They are not overworked. Their
lives are not endangered. There is no
special skill. or courage, or picturesque
ness about their functions. They are plain
Tom. Dick and Harry like anybody else,
50 why should they expect the
ity to supplement their salaries with any
sort of presents or bonuses or contribu-
tons?
The fact is they should be above such
a thing. Their own self-respect ought to
keep them from soliciting gratuities of
any sort. A letter carrier is well enough
paid and has respectable standing enough
to resent as an insult the offer of a tip,
from a private citizen. And yet this vi
cious system has gone on first in one form
and then in another, and It seems to be
impossible to check it.
An impudent fellow-perhaps more than
one-has been going about Jersey City
begging advertisements for a fake pub
lieation in which the Post Office employees
are in some way interested. He is not in
vassing for the boys. Probably 1t is a
shares and he is the insti-
gator of the whole business. This fellow
is often more or less impudent when his
demands are refused. Several prominent
men are complaining of the whole thing,
and it seems as if the public temper were
ripe for a ~peremptory demand upon Post
master Jordan, who, it should in fairness
be said. does not appear to be a consent
ing party to the operation, for the stop
page Of the levy not now only but for so
long as he remains in office.

MRS. NJ. PORTER, 2S2 Eighth ave.

remarkable power to cure disease.
