 MR. HENRY WATTERsoN predicts the election of the Tammany ticket, but before anybody bets his money on Henry's judgment it will be well to pause d moment and consider what sort of political prophet he is. r. will be remembered that in 1892 he predicted that if Cleveland were nominated for the Presidency the Democratic party would walk through slaughterhouse into an open grave. Cleveland was nomin- ated and the Democraticl party swept the country with a landslide, A short time ago while Mir. Waiter son was predicting to the country editors the terrible ealamities which were to befaIl the Democratic party in the near future in Kentucky, the Democrats stepped to the front and carried the Republican city of Louis vile by 5000 majority, and did it right under Henry's nose.-New Orlean States.

CARRIERS IN NO DANGER,

They Are Losing No Sleep Over the
Overtime Provssion.
The dispatch published day or two
since stating that letter carriers charg-
ing extra time would be discharged
has caused considerable comment, and
numerous inquiries have been made
as to the cause of this implied
antipathy to these valued public ser.
wants.
1t does not appear that there is
much danger of the carriers losing
their situations or any sleep on &C.
count of this order. They appear to
be the special pets of the post-office
department.. Clerks in the general
delivery and mailing departments OF
postOffices have to work till the work
in hand is done, and get no pay for
over time. Carriers work eight hours,
and if they do not get through with
serving their routes in that time, they
stop delivering.
Carriers start at 5000 per year, and
get an increase of 500 year till at
the end of three years they are paid
$1,000. They used to work more than
eight hours, but finally recovered pay

for all their overtime. Clerks 60 on
working for years at 5000 year.
Carriers get an annual vacation of Is
days, their pay going on, and the de-
partment paying their substitutes.
Clerks, in order to get a holiday, have
to do each others work in addition to
their own.
Just why these things are so, is
not known, except that the carriers,
by combining and working have Sc
cured these extra privileges. 1t is not
known that any higher class of
men, physically or intellectually, is re-
quired to fill the position of carrier
than that of clerk. AS the days work
of the carrier is limited to eight hours,
he has no occasion to and does not
work over time.

house of a poor widow and ordered
dinner while ON raiding tour in a

hustled around and gotten up the best
dinner possible, she told Jessie she was
in great trouble, that the mortgage ON
her farm was due that very day, and
the man would he there in a few hours
to turn her out if the money was not

much it was and handed her the ST.

money and released the mortgage, but

WILL RAISE THEIR BID.

Bankers Who Wish to Euy the Union
Pacific Raj road VIII Pay the Full
Amount OF the Government Claim.
New York, Oct. 26 The Union Pacific
reorganization committee has made
the following announcement: The
attorney general has notified this COM
mittee that he proposes to ask the
court for an adjournment of the fore
closure sales of the Kansas Pacific and
Union Pacific railway property to De-
cember Is, so as to postpone final dis
position until after congress shall have
met. This action is no doubt taken to
free the administration from embar-
rassment. The reorganization commit
tee has however, reached the conclu-
sion that the interest of the security
holders represented by it and OF the
syndicate furnishing the funds to
finance the reorganization, demand re.
organization without any further de-
lay.
I'm this situation the committee con-
templates, so as to gain prompt posses
sion of the Union Pacific line, to OPP
pose any adjournment of the sale OF
the main line and bid it in, if need be,
for nearly the full amount of the gov
ernment's claim, the additional sum
involved in this being $4,000, 900.
"As to the Kansas Pacific lines, the
foreclosure of the first liens upon the
| subsidized divisions of the Kansas Pa
cific railway will be energetically
pressed, and when these foreclosures
shall have been accomplished the reor
ganization of the Kansas Pacific lines
will be completed" :"
