THE RIVER MAIL SERVICE.

Washington, March rs, 1899
Senator w. V, Sullivan.
Sir:-I have the honor to nc
knowledge receipt of your lettel
of the 25th instant in which you
protest against the contemplated
action of the department in dis
continuing the postal service OF
steamboat route No. AZ, 100, Green
vile, Miss, to Vicksburg, Miss.
and in reply you are Informed
that, because of the irregular
manner in which the service on
the route was being performed,
| the department sent one of Its
agents oyer the route to make an
investigation. He found that the
route was supplying twenty-one
intermediate Offices, and that
twelve of the largest and most i'm
portant of these had supply by
star routes from railroad points,
which star routes conveyed the
greater part of the mail for them.
This left but nine of the offices
which were holly dependent upon
the steamboat route for supply.
The representative of the de-
partment became copynced that
these Offices could be supplied
more frequently and with greater
regularity, by star routes than by
the steamboat route, the latter
giving supply but three times a
week in each direction, and at
quite irregular hours, while the
star supply could be provided
daily, except Sunday and on sche-
dulles which would afford regular
connection to and from railroad
points
The department therefore de-
termined to invite proposals for
the star service recommended for
the supply of the offices not al
ready provided with such service,
and the awards on the routes have
been made. 1t is the intention of
the department to have the new
star routes put into operation and
have all mail that can be advan-
tageously sent over them dispatch
ed by them. The department will
then be in a position to determine
the amount of mail that is still
sent by way of the steamboat
route, apd therefore, the value of
the service from 8 postal stand
point.
The establishment of the star
service to supersede the steamboat
service will effect a very consider
able saving in the cost of trans
portation of the mails, for while
the steamboat service, with the
salaries of the postal clerks, and
the incidental mail messenger ser
vice at the intermediate offices,
now cost more than ten thousand
dollars, the star service, which the
department believes will afford
bstteF postal facilities, has been
secured for but a little more than
twenty five hundred dollars.
Your protest against the discon-
tinuance of the steamboat service
will be duly considered by the de-
partment before final action is
taken.

LAKE CITY LYNcHERS.
Justice Will Not BE Done Until They
Receive Punishment.

Receive Punishment
From the Charleston Is. O. News and
Courier
The Lake City lynching case, in the
United States circuit court, resulted on
Saturday in mistrial, the jury having
failed to agree upon a verdict, after
long deliberations. The jury was dis
charged, the accused We're ordered to
give bond in the sum of $4,000 each for
their appearance for trial at a subse-
quent term of the court. and the per-
petrators of the horrible crime 1t Lake
City have not yet been punished. 1t is
the earnest hope of every sincere friend
of law and order. of every one who can
rid himself of political and race pre-
JUDGES of all who hope for the future
of this state, that the government will
not grow weary in its determination to
bring the murderers in this case to jus
tice
The jury which tried the case last
| week was one of exceptional intelli-
gence, and while. as the court express
| ed it, no mans conduct in a great
matter like this can be judged by an
other" we cannot avoid the reflection
| that had the conclusion of the jury
| been affected by the evidence alone, the
| verdict against the accused would have
been a verdict of guilty. Judge Braw-
ley realized the hard task before the
| jury. when he said in his charge:
There is no race issue or political is
| sue involved in this trial. and much
| that has been saidsin the arguments
| has no relevancypto the real question
which you must decide, You have not
to decide whether or not Bakers APP
pointment was a proper one and wheth-
er or not it gave just cause for resent
| ment.' E#t
Continuing in his effort to fortify the
minds of the JURY against the attempts
| that had been made to have the case
decided outside of the evidence, Judge
| Bra wiley said:
"a good deal has been said of the eX-
traordinary efforts made by the gov

ernments in this case 1t would have
been shameful thing if it had not
put forth all of its powers to bring to
trial the perpetrators of this crime. but
so careful is the government of the lib
efty or its citizens that it's powers and
It's purse have been at,the command of
these prisoners to bring here every wit
ness desired in their behalf. 1t is due
to the district attorney and his asso-
ciates to say that the whole case has
been conducted and presented by them
with conspicuous fairness"
No one doubts that Baker and his
baby were killed at Lake City and
their bodies burned in the house, which
was set on fire by the mob; that his
wife was shot and one of his children,
and we do not think there is man
who heard or read the testimony in the
case, that there was a single member
of the jury who doubted that some OF
the men on trial took part in the ter
rible atrocity at Lake City. The only
thing that stood between them and the
punishment provided by law was po-
litical and race prejudice. 1t is true,
why not say so? If the politics and
complexion of the actors in the tragedy
had been different. the jury would nave
brought in a verdict of guilty without
leaving their seats. All the evidence
was one way, and against the deIenu-
ants, but the evidence had nothing TO
do with the failure of the jury to act.
That was influenced by considerations
apart from the testimony in the case.
No one expected that the jury would
find a verdict of guilty, it would not
have been surprising had the jury
found a verdict of not guilty, its fall
ure to agree to a verdict must be re
garded as a distinct advance In puoiic
