FREE RURAL DELIVERY.
MANY FOUHTII GLASS P0STNIASrERS
OPPOSED TO n.
it VIII rake Away Somo OF their Jobs They
Exert their Influence On their
Congressman.

Washington, January 2.-The ad-
vocates of largo appropriation for
rural free delivery by this congress
arc meeting with peculiar counter
influence. 1t will not in all proba-
bility seriously impede the appropri-
alton, but ls rather an unlocked for
outcome Of this quito recent depart
ure in mail service. The postoflice
department has found it advisable to
abolish several fourth class postoffices
with the extension of the rural free
delivery, and SUCH policy very nat.
urally occasions loud protests from
the decapitated postmasters. Their
hostility to rural FREQ delivery is
easily accounted for, but it has
moro far, reaching effect, as in many
of the rural districts, particularly in
tho populous Middle and Western
States, the fourth class postmasters
constitute tho political machine by
which members Of the house arc kept
in office.
Tho postmasters arc usually men
of influence IN their localities, and
arc trusted to SOC that the fences aro
kept in repair, and that delegates
arc sent to nominating conventions
favorable to tho man who nominated
tho postmaster.
There are over 10000 fourth class
postoffices in the country, paying
salaries all the way between $50 and
$1,000 a year. The proportion of
these that are endangered by en-
croachment from the rural free de-
livery is comparatively small, but,
nevertheless, the influence has been
sufficient to make few members of
the house lukewarm in their advo
cacy of better mail facilities for the
farming population.

w war news from that part Of

many accounts OF the high handed doings
OF the Swat queen. Swaziland is an in

the Beers have just now enough to do

have a striking similarity. Like her

queen of Swaziland was not born to the
