Our Special Correspondent.

With the NEE ting of the Republl-
can Presidential electors at Trenton
on Monday, followed by sessions of
the Legislature on Monday night and
Tuesday morning, the sleepy old capi-
toll city really had semblance of ami
nation, at least until Tuesday after
noon; afterwards, it is fair to presume
that the trolley cars made their spas
modic trips, passengers crossing the
canal changed cars, which now and
then connect by some strange over
sight. The first important event of
the week was the meeting of the
Mckinley and Roosevelt electors on
Monday in the Supreme Court room.
John F. Dryden, of Newark was elected
President; Elbert Rappleye, Secretary.
With considerable ceremony, the
vote of the Electoral College was then
sealed up, and State Comptroller
Hancock procured the warrants for
the payment of the members of the
College. Each member received a per
diem allowance of So and mileage
allowance of ten cents per mile as fol-

out one cent Of additional compensa- tion l think that an official Who takes such an interest in the work of this federal government ought to have at least a thank you in recog- milton of his services"
 Senator Morgan. of labama, recog- nized as the grand old man and vet eran statesman of the south, rank ing in his section in national and in
 ternational affairs as the late Sen ator Davis. of Minnesota, ranked in the higher circles of statesmen, says:
 "I am growing tco cid to hope
 to live to see the fIu;tion of
 this work, bat l am glad to have lived long enough to see its inception. and to note the worthy
 efforts which have been made and
 are being made. The men, women and children who live on the farms
 and plantations have never ohtruded
 their envy of the people in the cities.
 They have waited until the great
 republic could be rich enough and
 prosperous enough to give them the
 privileges which business necessities compelled the government to give to
 those who lived in town. l am sorry that this service has been an addi tional expense in it's inception, but that is unavoidable. When this svs- tenn is completed the country people will write more letters and enjCy
 closer intimacy with their relatives and friends: and then the income will approximate the outlay. 1t is a great mark of the advancement of our republic. Although l have souad- ed the gamut of lie and have heard its wieru walls. as well as it's grand symphonies. I would yet be glad if I might live to see the plain people in the country every here receiving and dispatching th mail at their
 homes"
 During the conference mentioned
 above one of the special agents said: Mir. Superintendent, the mail car riers are often hampered in their work by the unfortunate condition of the roads. and I do not think that
 they should be held responsible for occasional failures to make their schedule time, under such conditions" :"
 To this the superintendent replied: sI want reports concerning the con- bdition of the roads. I want the ad-
 dresses of the county supervisors in all such cases. We have the coop l erat1on of, the department of agri-
 culture in this matter. and one of the grand prospective results of this
 service is to be good roads There is
 bureau in the department of agri-
 culture devoted especially to good
 roads throughout the country"

should find these statements valuable. All readers who would know their rights in our country and demand them should be interested in this subject of rural free delivery.
 One of the most important state ments made by Superintendent Machen was this: II want to impress upon you gentlemen the fact that no letter carrier who uses any form of intoxicating liquor shall be retained in this service. In making your in spections you will bear this constant ly in mind. I will expect you to re- port every mail carrier whom you find to be violator of this rule The ladies and gentlemen in our cities re- ceive their mail from carriers who do not drink liquor, and the ladies and gentlemen along the rural routes will be likewise considered and respected D
 One of the inspectors reported that he found many of the mail carriers with ranshackle vehicles, with unbe- coming clothes, and with uncieanly, untidy bodies; and that some of them

 did not wear the badges of the rural free delivery system. The superin- tendent replied: s'This service is new and it is your duty to aid in bringing it to state of perfection, at least ap- proximating the system in our cities. Some of these carriers are very poor, and their pay is not large. But all of them can wear clean clothes and have clean faces. Moreover, every carrier must wear the badge of his office; and those carriers who do not wear the badge will be succeeded by carriers who will do so, and cheer fully comply with the rules and regu- lations. They should not be unfeel- ingly ordered, but kindly encouraged to take a personal interest in their work"
 Congressman Loud, of California, chairman of the committee on post offices and post roads of the house of representatives, says: This rural free delivery system has come to stay The citizen on the farm has as much right to have his mail deliv- cred to him at his house. or near his house. as the citizen who dwells in
 
 come none too soon. Wherever it has been established the people are de- lighted with it and will not permit it t o be discontinued.'
 In reply to personal inquiry Super intendent Machen said: The prac- tical work of this new system is only two years old. although the first eff forts to establish it were made about four years ago. Great credit is due to Hon. Perry $. Heath, late first as sistant postmaster general He worked very hard for the original de- veiopment of the system, and it was my pleasure to have been associated in that work. I hope that the farm CTS will all understand that we are doing our best to extend the system all over the country and that they will be patient with us, for it is a emendous undertaking which taxes all of our time, and the best talents that we can devote to it.''
 Congressman Hepburn, of Iowa, one of the recognized veteran lead CTS in legislation. says: "Superin- tendent Machcn is a modest fellow. but he deserves a great deal of credit for the work done, and doing. He was superintendent of free delivery, hay ing charge of all the city letter car riers in the country. When this rural free delivery work was begun he was l placed in charge of if. He has done | this work in addition to hfs regular official duties, and has done it ur- complainingly, cheerfully, and with

had ordered all of the route inspec-
 tors and special agents of that sys-
 tenn to assemble at the department
 here on a. certain day. They came
 from all sections and promptly re-
 ported at the appointed time.
 The general superintendent ad- dressed them for about two hours,
 giving them clear and specific instruc- tions concerning their work and inn pressing upon them it's vast impor-
 1ance--not merely to the individuals benefited. but it's immense importance to the business interests Of the entire country. Those who desired to do so
 were invited to ask questions; and, in q few minutes, Superintendent . Machen found himself fairly bombard- ed with inquiries.
