POLITICAL RIGHTS OF CLERKS
EVasive Reply From Mr.. Heath
When Asked to Lay Down
General Rule.

CHICAGO, Feb. THE political
rights of employees Of the postoffice de-
pertinent under the civil service regu-
lations, are dealt with in an important
&C mmunicatiOn received To-Day from
First Assistant Postmaster General
Perry S. Heath, by Postmaster Charles
L. Gordon, of Chicago. The occasion
for the communication was a letter
written by John L. Manning, president
of the Chicago Union Veteran clubs, to
Postmaster Gordon, in which Manning
said that many employees of the post
Office belong to the Chicago Union Vet
Grams club, and information was re-
quired as to what extent the civil ser
vice regulations governed their political
action.
Postmaster Gordon submitted Mr..
Manning's letter to the postoffice de-
partment, and today received a reply
from Mr.. Heath, which sets forth the
ideas of the postofffce department in
respect to the political activity of en-
ployes, in part as follows: There is no
disposition to curtail the proper exer-
else of political rights of any one in
the postal service. 1t is the manner in
which these rights are exercised, rather
than the exercise Of them, and at the
charge of the employees official duties,
more than the exercise of political
rights that Is important. We prefer to
pass upon complaints as to the often
sive exercise of political rights than to
make a general rule. No employe of
the government should be disorderly or
offensive in any capacity. Good cit zen
ship as we'll as good service, is always
a prerequisite.

TREATY OUT OF THE QUESTION
Spain and Cuba VIII Fight on to the
Bitter End-Insurgent

CLEVELAND, o., Feb. 7.-Dr. C. NJ.
Thomas, Of Illinois, who has just re-
turned from Cuba, where he has been
studying existing conditions for sew
eral months past, is now in Cleveland,
and in speaking of the war said:
THE situation from present indica-
lions is that the war will continue for
long time to come. The Spanish will
never grant the Cubans their liberty as
long as they can possibly help it,
THE treaty between the Cubans and
Spanish is absolutely out of the ques-
ticn. The hatred between them was
strong before the war and such ter
rtble suffering as both sides have en-
dured since the war has commenced,
has intensified this feeling. The talk
of the Cubans accepting home rule is
simply ridiculous. Equally absurd is
the idea of Spain granting Cubans
home rule as we Americans understand
home rule.
1.-The policy of the Cubans is not to
fight important battles. Their plan is
to wear out Spain financially, and the
Spanish nation is SO weak financially
that she finds 1t impossible to raise
the necessary $50, 600 600 annually to
carry on the Cuban war, and an addi-
tional $25, 900, 900 each year to pay the
interest of her great debt"
