The Money Order.
Postmaster Hugh G. Browne has placed
IN tp,ratfon the money orders under the
banking systcm.
to widen the scope Of the money order
sysrom. As o useful adjnnot 70 tho post ii
service tho money order cannot be over
looked
"Sec. t24o. Domestfc money orders
may be drawn only upon United States
post0fflces named In the list Of money or
der officers published by the depar: ment
and not upon such offices Of the class des.
ignated as limited money order Offices ;
A lnonay order may be 80 drawn upon the
Office ut which IL is issued, provided such
Office DO not limited money order office.
The advice Of money order SO drawn, un.
I'll payment Is made, or until the order
has become invRlidatod by age (more than
one year having elapsed since the last day
Of the month Of issue) should be flied
among the unpaid advices, tho same as II
received from another postoffcs. Wien
payment is made thereon, the money Or
ders drawn on the office OF issue and
their corresponding advicss must be
paid advlceA not As repaid.
Note-A paid order Is one which is paid
at al office other than that Of issue, or one
watch having boen drawn on the office Of
isrue. is paid at the salae office Whether
the amount be paid to tho psyee or endor-
see or refunded to the remitter, repaid
order Is one which, having been drawn on
another office, Is repaid to the remitter or
paid to the payee or snd0rsee at tie Office
Of issue. The advice Of the repaid order only
10 to be transmitted to the auditor, with
the order a. part OF the voucher"
According to the advices from Wash
ington the new rule may serve several
purposes. The system may be used as
savings bank at places where banks are
not in operation. When persons desire to
temporarily deposit funds for safe keep
Ing orders may be drawn In their favor In =!
amounts which will be refunded on de. |
mand, or orders may be endorsed to an
other person at any time and payment |
will be made to the endorsee on presepta-
ton OF the order. II orders are lost dupli. |
Gates will DO issued without cost
The orders may be used to pay bills Of |
!radesmen, as q matter of convenience to |
persons who have no bank accounts and |
ore unable to draw checks. They may
DO used in settlements Of accounts at
small expense between persons at distant
points. The farmer for example who Is
indeb ed to q person ten miles away NAV
obtain at the village postoffico an order
payable to the individual to whom he Is
indebted. which the latter will receive
through the person who procures and de-
livers the mail for the neighborhood FIX
pense and time Is thus saved and he COST
Is trihing while there Is absolute safety.
The orders may be used in cities for pay
ment OF gas bills and settlement Of dues
to ORGANIZATIONS, SC. A money order may
be ordinarily procured and sent the payee
without loss OF time and at small cost.
The additional advantages which are
now offered the public might be enumer-
ated ut greater length. They will suggest
themselves to postmnsters and employees
OF the money order system, and it will be
expected that, rs opportunity offers, some
pains will be taken to avquaint tho public
with these advantages, and to suggest the
use OF money orders as II method preferable
because Of cheapnsss, safety and con-
and commend the effort thus made to Sc
cure from the public its practical approval {
OF the improved service offered
Inc money order system has always
been Il led by certain class Of people as

between the date on which the money or
der was issued and tho dnte upon which
