THE story that Secretary Bliss will
resign shortly is oil the rounds again.
The story has been going in different
forms since Mr.. Bliss entered the cabi-
net, arising from the fact that the New
York mar was %strenuously urged TO
take the place, and did it under pro-
test and with an intimation that when
the administration got its work well in
haud, he might lay down the reins. In
official circles in Washington, there
has been no belief that Mr.. Bliss
has any idea Of resigning in the near
future.

appointed surveyor general of New

entitled to the political preferment,
particularly for a second time. The
individual is "Gen."E E. F. Hobart

he is never heard of only In times OF
appointments. when he hobs up serene
ly, ready and anxious to do the bid
ding of the bosses at his back. The

much as a ghost Of a show for the

A nnMoonArlo nnpnnl.luAN,


A DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICAN,
President Mckinley Is entitled 70 the
plaudlts Of the nation for one thing, at
least, and that Is his restoration OF the
democracy of the white house. There
has been a strong tendency in Wash
ingtcn toward the ceremoniousness
that hedges about a king, but Mr.. Mo-
Kinley at one sweep has broken down
the barriers and become what the
president should be, an American
citizen temporarily elevated to the
highest oilidein the world.
No doubt tho tendency toward royal
movements began with that darkest
tragedy in the nations history, the
assassination Of Abraham Lincoln.
Such OF the reserve as was worn away
by the great SOLDIER Grant, was re-
sumed after the assassination of James
A. Garfield, and since then the ten
dency to presidential exclusiveness hal
grown, naturally encouraged by the in
f%iuences OF foreign diplomacy. Bu'
Major Mckinley, who has always beer
a man Of the people, has no taste fol
such exclusivsness. He is fond Of
walking and he delights in meeting
men, women and children upon the
same plane Of equality. So he has
simply followed his W inclinations
and thrown away the ceremonial forms.
He is a typical American product,
and the American people will forgive
him, If need be, many errors of the
head for this q virtue Of the heart.

WEDNESDAY, EVENING, MAY 5, iSSi
THE POSTAL CONGRESS-.

The international postal con.
fgress convened In Washington,
to-day, for a session of two months.
This 10 its fifth session. The univer-
sal postal union was inaugurated at a
conference held in the hall of the ma
tional senate at Rerne, Switzerland, in
1874. The second congress was held
at the Bourbon palace at Paris in May,
1873; the third at Lisbon In February
1885, and the fourth at Vienna in May,
1891. An International central Office
OF the bureau is maintained at Berne,
under the superintendence of the Swiss
postal administration, Its expenses be-
ing borne by the various countries in
the union. EThis bureau, something
like the bureau Of South American re-
publics in this country collects, publish
es and distributes information of every
kind concerning the international pos
tai service, and gives opinions in dis
'putes. The annual share of the United
States toward the maintenance Of the
central administration is about 800.
The congress is required by its consti-
tuition to meet every five years. The
total number of countries embraced in
the union is fifty-three.
The most important topic to be con
sidered by the congress is that OF transit
rates by intermediary countries for
mails received from other countries.
It is probable that there will be q gen.
eral reduction of these rates, &fresult
which would be disadvantageousto the
United States. Some of the delegates
are in favor Of a%bolishing entirely the
compensation allowed for the trans
portation of mails through interme-
diary countries, but as there are con-
ficting interests, the congress will
scarcely 60 to this extreme. None of
the foreign delegates have formulated
in advance questions for consideration,
but, as already stated, there will be
enough business to keep the body in
session for at least six weeks.
The expense attending the congress
will be in the neighbornood of $780,
600, which will be appropriated by
congress. The pending sundry civil
service bill contains an item of $780,
900 on account. President Mckinley
will entertain the delegates at the
white house, and a number of excur
sions have been planned, not on the
junketing order, but for the purpose of
studying various phases of the postal
system in this country and the latest
methods, devices and appliances in use.

The Good Roads Movement.

The good roads movement seems to
have gone by the board this year. At one
time it was expected that this would be
one of the great problems that would be
settled in the sixty eighth legislature, but
the adverse report of the judiciary com
mittee put damper on the project
There is but one thing certain, both farm
ers and bicyclers can at least congratulate
themselves that the subject has been we'll
ventilated, and it may be the means of
securing favorable legislation in the next
body of SolonS that conveneS. The de-
STABILITY of better roads in Maine can be
established on many good grounds. In
the first place they are wanted by the cit
liens themselves Not little lamenta-
ton has been heard of late because Maine
men, young men, who ought to stay in
Maine and help develop her varied and
abundant resources, leave the State and
carry their energies and their money to
aid in building up other sections. The
history of road making in Maine shows
that the system hitherto employed is a
failure. SO long as the roads are made,
and repaired after the fashion that has
thus far ruled there can be no hope of
permanent Improvement Now that SO,
600 are yearly assessed in taxes against
the bicyclers, this class of people at least
have not unwarrantably asked for aid.
But it is not alone the bicycler that is
benefited. The ability of the farmer to
reach the markets quicker and to carry
there the products of the farm with great
Ell ease means money in their pockets
1t is generally supposed that the re-
form was too radical to meet with imme-
diate approval, and from talking with
many of the members of the House it
could be easily seen that either the feast
bility of the plan was not countenanced
or else there was such multiplicity of
plans as to make the adoption of any of
them pulling experiment. There are
certain farmers who appeared on the
scene at the time of the hearing who
couldn' seem to get it out of their heads
that the new road movement was exclu-
sively for bicyclers, and they would prob
ably be pushed into pasture from time
to time as they rode along to make room
for the festive bicycler. There was di-
versity of opinion on the project and
probably no piece of legislation has bob
bed up in the sixty eighth congregation
that has had fewer minds alike. Augusta
