work as possible compatible with the act
ual needs of the pubic service. This would
require postmasters to keep the WORK Oh
carriers within the average OF eight hours
per day for six days, and TO proVlde no
more work for them on Sunday than Is an
Solutely necessary. 1t would not permit
them to require letter carriers to post their
route books on Sunday for the entire week
or to perform other work which should pe
distributed through the week In many
small Offices carriers are not required 10
perform any Sunday work whatever. AS
general proposition the department dis
courages the performance OF Sunday WORK.
1t believes that postal employees, as well as
others, should be permitted to ENJOY thelr
SUNDAYS and that the good old American
custom of properly observing the Sabbath
should not be disregarded. When Sunday
work is required to meet emergencies arlS-
ing from special local conditions II Shoulu
be curtailed as much as possible. 1 do not
believe there is properly managed post
office In this country today at which ar
rangements cannot be made limiting the
Sunday employment or letter carriers eliu
clerks to two or three hours.
The Sunday Deliveries.
LAS I have Just said some offices in the
country are never opened on Sunday, be-
cause the people have become accustomed
not to receive mail on Sunday. But there
are many cities, large and small. whose
good citizens go to the post office every
Sunday at a regular hour. 1t has become
a habit with them, which should never
have been formed. The Sunday delivery OF
mail should be limited as far as possible
to the hotels, to accommodate trans1ents
who might be greatly inconvenience II
they were required to wait until Monday
for their mail.
ar the letter carriers of this country be-
come thoroughly satisfied that the depart
mont and the postmasters will not take ad-
vantage of the proposed change to exact
from them additional Sunday work | be
lieve their support of the measure VIII DE
unanimous. AZ, $1,000. .,,.u
t,onS Of detail will have to be considered.
rake for instance, the employment OF car
riars on HOLIDAYS | have been frequently
asked by members Of the Letter Carriers
Association IT, under the proposed law, the
unused time on holidays would be added to
the remaining five days Of the week. For
instance, if they should happen to work
four hours on the Fourth of July, would
thew be required to work forty-four hours
during the remaining five days Of the week?
AS matter of mere justice and fairness,
this should not be done, and the law Will be
framed in such manner as to prevent 1t,
by cutting out the holiday altogether and
working the carriers the remaining five
days of the week on basis Of forty hours.
Wise and Necessary.
1.-The Post Office Department has become
thoroughly convinced of the wisdom and
necessity of the change suggested in the
so-called eight-hour law. 1t is fortified in
it's position by the results of trials and
periments, covering period of many years,
during which 1t has endeavored in various
ways to make this inf1eXible law, now
sought to be amended, meet the require
ments Of the most elastic and flexible

committee on resolutions.
Some time was devoted to discussion of

Recommends Consolidation.

At last nights meeting of the postal con-
vention Third Assistant Postmaster Cen
eral Madden delivered an address in which
he recommended the consolidation of third
and fourth-class mail matter. He said that
one-thirteenth of the whole amount of
mail was fourth-class and one-tenth third
class, so that there would be little If any,
loss by the consolidation, which would be a
great convenience to the public and the
department. OF third-class matter nearly
30 per cent SO entered should be classed as
second, and pay the government cents
a pound. Had this been done last year it
would have made an increase of $14, 900, 900
in revenues.

This table shows that in the year 1897
only Ell Paso had more sunshine than
Santa Fe, but that Texas city has much
hotter summers and almost as great
an extreme Of cold. with an excessive
amount of wind in the winter.
The government records do not show
that any place in the United States ex-
cells Santa Fe in sunshine, year in and
year out, the average number of hours
of sunshine daily in a period Of five
years being eve hours and forty-fve
minutes, which is just about right for
| variety, comfort and health.
A favorable point in comparison with
the east is that the most sunshine here
is in the fall and winter, November
leading, while in the east the sun is
more in evidence in the summer months,
when it is sometimes neither wanted
nor needed.

NEW MEXICO SANITARIUMs.
Sunny, bright days mark the winter
season, which, until Christmas at least,
is quite as delightful as the glorious
summer, though crisp and cool. Even
the spring months in Santa Fe cannot
be equaled for mildness in any eastern
state. While hundreds of tourists visit
the city in summer and make a more or
less protracted stay, the number who
come to remain permanently for the Gu
rative effect upon tuberculous diseases
is all the while increasing. The proper
tion Of the latter will be undoubtedly
enlarged in consequence of the indorse-
ment given New Mexico's climate by
the United States marine hospital serv-
ice, which has in 1899 established two
permanent sanitariums in the territory,
and will maintain them as homes for
soldiers and sailors afflicted or threat
ened with tubercular troubles. Many
years of life at New Mexico army posts
and a careful examination by experts
led the authorities to take this action
in the interest of military invalids, and
it is also intended to remove to New
Mexico consumptive inmates of soldiers
homes in California and eastern states.
Favorable conditions exist all over
New Mexico for restoration to health or
for improving the condition of such SUI
%ferers; a dry, aseptic air, light atmos-
pheric pressure, we'll drained soil, a
minimum Of cold and heat, the absence
Of great changes in temperature and a
maximum Of sunshine.
SUNSHINE RECORDS.
As to the latter point, the latest fig
ures available from the government rec
ords are those of 1897, the year book of
1893 having not yet been published. The
summer of 1897, as it happened, was un-
usually cloudy and rainy at Santa Fe,
yet the superiority Of this city in the
matter Of days that were sunny
throughout, can be seen by a few COM
parsons with places in various parts of
the country.
