Vice. as is the case in Rock Island,
would be Perfectly fitting, but cir.

the idea OF Congressman Prince in
seeking to have the custodianship
transferred to the postmaster. The
duties are entirely without remuner-
alton, and a postmaster would TO,
seek TO undertake them except for
the public good. In Rock Island
the surveyor Of customs has vastly
more time than the postmaster for
the added responsibility, and so far
as he seeks to cooperate in contrib
uting to the convenience Of the pa.
irons OF the postt flee he will best
discharge the Obligations that the
department imposes upon him. The
matter is not so much one Of conven.
fence to the oili GER, it should be un.
derstood. Is OF public convenience.
