The Ouerous Task Entrusted to Maj

Office Authorities at
Warrington.
Especial Washington letter.

A great calamity it would be if the
postal service should cease in the ma
tional capital, or if the people Of any
other large city should be deprived of
the mail facilities to which they have
been accustomed.
Suppose that 100000 people in Hi
nois, Iowa or any other state should
be unceremoniously deprived of their
post offices, their railway postal
trains, their letter carriers, their
money order system, their star routes,
their opportunity to buy and use post
age stamps. Or, for example, suppose
that the cities of Milwaukee, Spring
field, Des Moines, Omaha or Kansas
City, or any other cities of similar size,
should be cut off from postal inter
course with the surrounding country
alone, there would be so much trouble
and discomfort that the writer need
not describe it.
Well, there is an American territory
containing 100000 American citizens
where the sudden stoppage of postal
facilities has been imminent. Only

Plea of a Michigan woman.

Among the laws of Michigan is one
regulating the killing of deer. After
mature reflection, Mrs. A. Hurd. of
Harbor Springs, thinks she sees in
the provisions OF this statute way
by which she may be reimbursed fer
the loss of her COW. The bovine was
grazing in the wood not far from
Mrs. Hurd's home when it was at
tackled by buck deer. AS a result of
the battle mulley died. and now Mrs.
Hurd coBtemplates suing the state for
damages. She sets up the plea that
inasmuch as the law prohibited her
from killing the deer which chased
and mortally injured her COW, the
state ought to pay her for the de-
ceased animal or furnish her another.

much or how little of that archipelago
we shall take until the peace commits

beyond that the post Office department
cannot go for the present. The only
work which we have authority to do
Is to establish a postal service for
Puerto Rico, which belongs to US by
right of conquest, and that work we
have undertaken. The commission of
which Maj. Stewart is chairman is
composed of experienced men, and,
under Maj. Stewards direction, that

and is disposed to put as favorable con-
struction on Colonel Bryan's words as
possible, but the force of much of what
our contemporary says is undeniable. The
tendency to cling to Anticipated ideas
merely because they are ancient and be-;
cause they were at one time popular is too
evident for felicitation among Democratic
leaders. Colonel Bryan is to be congratu-
lated on having the good sense and cour-
age-and it takes lot of moral courage
in one who has been so conspicuously
identified with past issues-to admit that
it may be found necessary to wipe of the
slate upon which temporary policies are
written and begin in the new with other
policies in keeping with the necessities OF
the times.
This paper, we understand, is owned by
Senator Sullivan, of Mississippi, and has
been strong party paper. But now 1t
as good as says that the Chicago platform
is a back number and that the contest Of
1900 will be fought out upon different
lines.
The change is coming and coming very
rapidly, but we feal that the Virgins
Democrats are going to be the last to de-
sert the sinking ship.
