The assistant attorney general Tor
the postoffice department has ruled
that the amendment attached to the
current appropriation act limiting the
hours of work for letter carriers
throughout the country to torty'elght
hours O week expires with the act
itself on June 80 next. After that
date, therefore, the postoffice depart
ment will re-enact the rules OF the
eight hour law of March "a, 1883.
The amendment at the time OF Its
consideration in congress was fought
by the Association Of Letter Carriers
and the department found it expen-
sive to enforce it. The eight hour
law specifically provides for eight
hours day, while tho amendment
allowed the averaging of this amount
of work so as to keep within tho
limit of forty-eight hours in the SIX
DAYS of labor. The postmaster general
has decided to issue an order permit
ting letter carriers throughout the
country to wear loose-fttlng blouse
instead of q coat when the heat OF
! the summer warrants it.
At the request Of the alumni asso-
citation of the Columbia University

A Few Cut Flowers.

the following article we clip from
the State Ledger, a paper published
at Topeka, in the interest of the col
ored race, edited by Col. T. L. Jeltz,
who was in the city few weeks ago.
The tone of the article shows that he
is an able writer. Here it is:
Phillipsburg is nice little burg
and is the county seat OF Phillips
county.
White men are clever the majority
of them.
One thing about Phillipsburg she
has an ayaricious greed for newSpa-
pers namely the Dispatch, HERALD
and News. Now you would be some
what surprised to read here that all
these papers are doing well, they are
in our opinion just the same. We are
informed by current report that there
are $4,000 people residing in Phillips
county hence newspaper are ably
taken care of in Phillips county.
These are not all the newspapers in
Phillips county by reason of a publ
cation at a place called Woodston and
a paper at Kirwin in Phillips county
and one more at Logan the home of
Congressman Reeder.
We did not get over to see the old
''gent" but we heard he was alright
and whenever we find a man like BIZ.
Reeder, alright, or hear that he is we
never worry.
we went out of Phillips county at
2:35 a. M, Monday morning into Nor
ton county. We had fine trip.made
plenty of business.
We are not very enyiouS Of a
"friend" but at Phillipsburg we call
ed on the Hon. John Quincy Royce,
the veteran editor and publisher of
the official county paper He is also
postmaster and lie and his valuable
son and aimable better half are just
the right kind of people to make
things look right in the burg.
Mr.. Royce is a we'll fixed and pre-
served man. He works with his men
as though he was, a hireling He is
certainly doing well and deserves to
succeed"

EngEishman's Tariff.

Once in a while our boosted Cyan
kee shrewdness" is made to play sec
ond fiddle. a British contractor re-
Gently performed a neat trick on an
American steel manufacturing con-
Germ. The EngliShman in question
secured d contract for building a sec
ton of an elevated railway in Boston.
Knowing that because of the curious
operations OF the American protective
tariff he could buy American made
steel cheaper in England than Ameri-
cans could buy at their own doors he
proceeded to take advantage of tb e
fact. The Englishnlan wrote fro IN
England to several American STR Ict-
ural iron works asking bids ON GER
tain lot of iron. He selected tn. ; best
bid aud closed the contract. When
the contract was properly sig ned he
cabled the American iron mar .ufactur-
er not to ship to Liverpo u but to
ship to Boston. The pol,lt Of the
EngliShman'S joke will not be seen by
these who still cling to the idea that
Americans, can tax themselves rich.
Neither will it be seen by those who
still labor under the delUSion that the
foreigner pays the tax.-The Conn
mOner.
