Same Exira~ss from U. 5. Statutes and tn.
Congressional Record on the
Subject.

In view of the current report, noted
in these columns last evening. that sn
order ror consolidation Of the two post
Offices here may soon be issued by the
department and Col. Brunswick made
postmaster, the following from the
statutes and the Congressional Record
are OF local interest:
Extract from The U. S. states for
1895. page 3l3: Provided, That no post
Office at any county seat shall be
abolished or discontinued by reason Of
any consolidation Of postoflices made
by the postmaster general under any
existing law and any pestoilice OF "a
county seat heretofore consolidated
shall be established as separate post
office at such county seat.
Extracts from the Congressional Re-
cord of March 10. 1898, pages 3. 34s-49.
The clerk read as follows:
Sec. 5 That the postmaster general
may, in his discretion, consolidate the
postotiice at Brooklyn, N. Y with The
postoiiice at New York city. N. Y.
Mr.. Fsher-I raise the point of or
der against that section.
The Chairman-The gentleman from
New York CHR. Fisher raises the POM
of order.
Mr.. Loud-M Mr.. Chairman, I want t
say one word to the gentleman.
Mr.. Fisher-I will reserve the poinl
for the purpose OF hearing the state
ment of the gentleman. III
The Chairman-1h he point of order il
reserved.
Mr.. Loud--New York City ant
Brooklyn, and there are three or foul
ether county seats, have now been EN-
braced in the City of New York. In 4
provision put on an appropriation bill
two or three years ago, the postmastel
| general was prohibited from consoli
dating county seats or a county sea,
with another postofice. Now what /,
the condition in New York City? TIL,
people throughout the country under
stand that New York City embraces
brooklyn and other places, and mail i,
addressed to New York bearing som,
lstreet or some street in some othel
place.
/ This would be in the interest of econ
omy. Tbs postmaster general says b,
would save some $4,000 If he were per
! mitted to consolidate within one post
Office the various postofiices now with
in the Incorporated limits Of the City 0
/ New YORK.
! ssOf course if the gentleman insists OF
the point of order, this provision is sub
jrct to ii; but | hope tho gentleman
will not insist on the point Of order, be
cause it Is legislation that ought to b
enacted. If he does not want the pres
ent postmaster at Brooklyn removed,
am satisfied that arrangements would b
made to retain him for a certain lengtl
of time; but do not let us defeat beneH
cial legislation on account of considera
tions of this kind.
Mr.. Flsher-I insist on the point 0
order. Brooklyn would like to preserv,
some of its old identity and desires no
to be entirely obliterated. do not be
lieve there would be any economy.
Mr.. Loud You ought to have
thought of that before.
The Chairman-The chair sustain!
the point of order.
The clerk resumed the reading of the
bill and completed it.

Mr.. Boutell has made a good be-
ginning of his congressional career by
the Introduction of bill authorizing
the construction of an effective war
ship for the lakes, the antiquated
Michigan to be retired from service as
soon as possible. 1t is 10 years since
the Michigan was launched; she is
one of the very few survivors of the
side-wheel era. One shot from Il
rihed cannon would tear apart her
rotten timbers and send her to the
bottom. Since, 10y the terms of a
treaty that cannot be abrogated day
too soon, we are not allowed more than
one war cruiser ON all the great lakes,
that one ought to be perfect of its
kind. And this is the more true be-
cause that Canada, while keeping e
the letter of the treaty, has fleet OF
so-called revenue cruisers that eau be
transformed into guDboats at an
hours notice. Chicago Inter-Ocean.

CLUB EVILS.
Moral Lessons Drawn by the Rev. DIR

TEXT; Let the young men now arise and
play before us. IL Sam. H., Il.
There are two armies encamped by the
pool Of Gideon. The time hangs heavily
on their hands. One army proposes q game
Of sword-fencing. Nothing could be more
healthful and innocent. The other army
accepts the challenge. Twelve men against
twelve men, the sport opens. But some
thing went adversely. Perhaps one of the
swordsmen got an unlucky clip, or in some
way had his ire aroused, and that which
opened in sportfulness ended in violence.
each one taking his contestant by the hair
and then with the sword thrusting him in
the side; so that which opened in Innocent
fun ended in the massacre Of all the TWEEN
ty-four sportsmen. Was there ever bet
ter illustration Of what was true then, and
is true now, that that which Is innocent
may be made destructive?
AT this season OF the year the club-hou
of our towns and cities are in full play. I
have found out that there is q legitimate
and an Legitimate use OF the clubhouse.
In the one case 1t may become a 'healthful
recreation, like the contest of the twenty
four men in the text when they began their
play; in the other case 1t becomes the mas
sacre OF body, mind and soul, as In the case
Of these contestants of the text when they
had gone too far with their sport All in
telligent ages have had their gatherings
for political, social, artistic, literary pur-
poses-gatherings characterized by the
blunt old AnglO-SaXon designation Of
"cIub.'
During the day they are comparatively
lazy places. Here and there an aged man
reading newspaper, or an employe dust
ing sofa, or Il clerk writing up the ac-
counts: but when the curtain of the night
falls on the natural dNy, then the cur
tain OF the clubhouse hoists for the enter
tainment. Let us hasten up, now, the
marble stairs. What an imperial hallway!
On this side there are reading-rooms,
where you find all newspapers and mag "a
zines. On that side there is a library
where you lind all books, from herme-
neutics to the fairy tale. Coming in and
out there are men, some of whom stay ten
minutes, others stay many hours Some of
these are from luxurious homes. and they
have excused themselves for n while from
| the domestic circle that they may enjoy
| the larger soclablity Of the clubhouse.
| These are from dismembered households,
and they have plain lodging somewhere,
| but they come to this club-room to have
their chief enjoyment One blackball
amid ten votes will defeat mans becom-
ing member. For rowdyism, for drunk
enness, for gambling, for any kind Of
misdemeanor, member Is dropped out.
| Brilliant clubhouse from top to bottom.
| The chandeliers, the plate. the furniture,
the ccmpanionship the literature, the
social prestige, complete enchantment.
But the evening is passing on, and so
we hasten through the hall and down the
steps and into the street, and from block
to block until we come to another style OF
clubhouse. Opening the door, we find the
fumes OF strong drink and tobacco, some
