IMPORTANT CHANGES.
The POStoffice Department,
Sixth Auditors Office, Land
Office and Patent Office
at Last to have Plenty
of Room. Z.

Another knowing day" is coming in
Washington and preparations have been
under way for several months. says our
Washington CORRESPONDENT. The entire
Post Office Department and the force Of
the Auditor for the Department are about
to take up their new quarters in the City
Post Office building on Pennsylvania
Avenue.
1t is no small task to move fifteen hun
dred clerks and all of the records which
have accumulated during the century and
in such way as to practically avoid any
interruption in the routine of business.
The Post Office Department proper has
for half century occupied a large marble
building of the Corinthian style of arch-
lecture covering an entire block. From
this central point the affairs Of the 10000
post Offices throughout the United States
are regulated. Two large five story build
iugs nearby have for many years been
rented as Offices for the Second Auditor of
the Treasury, and in these all financial
transactions OF all Of the post offices have
been examined before final settlement.
Every money order issued in the country
is sent here and compared with its stub
before being filed away. The enormous
new City Post ofice building is intended
10 receive the general Post office Depart
ment and the Auditors Office, and the
upper eight stories Of the building have
been arranged with special view to
meet their needs.
The actual work OF moving is TO take
five days, and to pay the cost of the trans
fer Congress has appropriated $4,000.
The contract has been made with the
Merchants Parcel Delivery Company of
Washington. A great deal Of interest is
being taken in the coming event because
of its bearing on other branches Of the
Executive machinery.
The Patent-oflice building has been
crowded almost past endurance. The
constantly increasing number of books,
patents and records have made il neces-
sary to use the Railways for storage pur-
poses and even for desk room, and to
move nearly all the models into rented
building near by.
As soon as the Post office building is
vacated it is expected that the Land Office
will move into it from the Patent Office
building and then the records and files
properly belonging in the latter building
can for the first time in many years find |
proper arrangement and four important
branches Of the service, employing in all |
about twenty-five hundred clerks, can |
have enough room to properly perform
their duties.

Trusts and the Law.

/ During tue past Neeh VIC P''>'" " 49,"
and other meats have been advanced from
two to FIVE cents pound by combination
Of Western packers. There Is no pre-
tense that beef ia scarcer or that it costs
more to make it. II is admitted that The
nrice IL raised arbitrarily in order TO make
good TO the trust its temporary losses in
Cured in establishing n meat monopoly IN
/ England.
Meanwhile trusts continue to mulfIpI!
I in all the other nccessaries OF life. "i'h'n
the week there we're organized
A Cotton Goods Trust;
An Ice Trust;
A Hide and Leather Trust;
An Asphalt Trust.
These simply supplement the hundreds
of other Trusts and Monopolies formed
during the present year, seeking TO con-
troll ,hc production and fix the prices OF
nearly every article of general use
The latest combinations cover
The food we eat;
The clothing We wear;
The shoes for our feet;
The ice required for health and comfort
The modern pavcments for our streets.
Are there no laws against these "con-
spiracies in restraint Of trade"-these
combinations of Greed against NeedY
Oh, yes There is stringent Federal
antitrust law, and most of the States, in
Guiding New York and Illinois, have
statutes of a similar character.
Why are not these laws enforced?
1t is as easy as a thimblerigger's game.
The Attorney General Of the United
States, the official charged (un1er the
Presidency with the duty of seeihg thai
"the laws are faithfully exc :uted, SAYS
that the regulation OF industrial c0mbi-
nations ais entirely matter OF State con-
troll" and that "uule>s the functions Of
interstate commerc. are intertered with
| would he superoncious TO attempt a
crusade against affairs with which | have
no business"
TO the lay mind of the ordinary plumb
cred citizen it would seem that a Meat
Trust organized in Chicago, and not only
supplying the markets Of our Eastern
cities, but actually selling meat cheaper
in London than il does in New York, was
engaged both in interstate and inter-
national commerce. SO of the Ice Trust,
reaching from Maine to New York, Pbla-
delpt;a, Baltimore and Washington. 80
of the Hide and Leather Trust and a hun
dred others.
And yet, with trust lawyer Attorney
General and President to whose cam
paign fund protected monopoles contrib
uted a million dollars, the chance of the
people TO find relief in the Federal law is
about equal to the chance of safety to a
roost of chickens guarded by Br'er Fox
and Br'er Coon.
AS to the State officials, the Republican
Attorneys Gcneral-with here and there
an honorable exception like that Of Mr..
Monnett in Ohio-hold that State laws
are pOwerless, owing to 'interstate COM
merce" and to chartered rights granted
by other States.
And so there we are-at the mercy of
the trusts. Nobody to blame. Everybody
powerless.
The common-sense remedy would seem
to he to elect President and Governors
who believe that mOnOpolies should be
and can he strangled, and who will see to
the Eternal!"-that the laws are
faithfully executed.-New York World.

A Big Order.

The Bedford Wooden Mill received last
week government order for $4,000 broad
yards of blue Kerseys, says the Pulaski
Ne~s- Reriem. During the year since this
property was purchased by Dir. Kent. of
Philadelphia, this mill has manufactured
and sold 100000 yards of this cloth. The
manager of the mill says that they have
not been working to their full capacity
because of the difficulty in securing hands.
which is rather singular fact. The mill
has been great advantage to the town.
