POSTOFFICE RETRENCHMENT.

Retrenchment is often merely reduc-
ton Of wages and forces while other
and less essential expenses so on. The
order Of the Postal Department to cut
down the carrier service in all the great
cities. is of that character. If, as un-
doubtedly is true, the cost of operating
the postal department is too great COM
pared with its revenue, let retrench-
ment begin along lines not so close to
the people. The carrier system has
become a necessity from having been
dnaugurated as a convenience.
As was said by the Record Union
only the other day, if the facts could be
got at it would be clear that it has more
than paid for itself That is to say,
the increase in the use of the mails has
been most augmented by the convent
ence Of post boxes and free delivery.
This increase would be found to exceed
the cost Of the free delivery service. !
There is a shortage in one special pos
tai appropriation of 100000, and Con-
gress refuses to make It good, hence If
Is proposed to cut down in the carrier
and post-box service in the greater
cities, This we do not hesitate to de-
nounce as niggard and unwise policy.
The country is too rich to submit to
this so-called economy. It NAV NOT

man who is honest and sincere, unselfish

Sadie has kept the company of bad

The ambassador of England at
Washington has had his tail feathers
clipped When the Grant tomb and
monument were solemnly unveiled the
British ambassador insisted that IN
procession and in position he must oc-
cupy the next place to the President.
He held that he must have precedence
over all officials, except the head or
the nation, because he represented the
English Empire and its Queen Empress.
This caused a great fluster, for it meant
the crowding out of even the widow of
Grant and the e-President of the
United States These, for the sake of
peace, yielded, but when Mr.. Hobart
became Vice President, he determined
to have the matter settled by authority
that Sir Julian Paunceforte could not
Question He appealed therefore to the
British Government through Embassa-
dor Hay for a ruling as to rank and
precedence. The result has been that
the English Foreign Office has held Mr..
lish ambassador, because he stands in
the relation of heir-apparent, SO to
speak. So a question of etiquette and
propriety has been settled in official
circles at Washington, peace reigns
and amity has been restored. The
whole country is gratified to learn that
what threatened to create a breach be-
tween functionaries of such import
ance rs our President and the En-
bassador of the Queen Empress has,
