Cuban Postal Appointments

Action looking to the REIMBURSEMENT of
the United States postal regime over the
Island of Cuba was taken recently when
appointments were made. to fill the two
most important posts in the Cuban postal
service Charles Hernandez was appointed
assistant director general of posts of Cuba
and on the withdrawal of the United States
from that island will assume full charge of
the Cuban postal service. AT the same
time Jose Alvarez was appointed postmas-
ter of Havana. The changes will become
effective April /. The assistant director
generalship Of posts is thus created without
compensation, to enable the coming head of
the service to become thoroughly familiar
and equipped with the duties of his new
post before the time comes to take COM
plete charge. The same object applies to
the present appointment Of the postmaster
ship Of the Cuban capital. Both changes
are promotions and both men are Cubans.
Hernandez is at present postmaster at Ha-
vana, while Alvarez is postmaster of Cien-
fuegoS.

MINISTER TOOK BRIDES.
For This He Was Excommunicated by
Minnesota Presbytery.

A dispatch from Minneapolis, Mimi, yes
terday says: The result of the trial of Rev.
DR.. Richter by the presbytery was a YER
dict of guilty. Mr.. Richter was deposed
from the ministry and also eXcommunicat-
ed from the Presbyterian Church.
This is the extreme penalty in the church,
and excludes DIR. Richter who is sixty-eight
years of age, from even a layman's inter-
est in the Presbyterian Church. The charge
against him was that he published articles
in the interest of saloons and that he re-
ceived pay from Minneapolis brewers. He
admitted the charges, but denied that his
action was inconsistent with his position as
a minister of the gospel.

We do like a square deal, but tits
not often we get it. Last week the
Pullman company voluntarily-mind
you-advanced the wages of it's con-
ductors $500 per month The ad-
vance they gave the conductors is ex-
actly the sum they pay their porters
to do the work while the conductors
boss the job and get $50 per for doing
it.. This is the white mans idea of a
square deal between porters and con-
ductors. Now everybody knows, who
knows anything about it, that the por-
tiers have greater responsibilities,
perform ALL the labor, put in the
greater number of hours and are un-
questionably of more actual value,
both to the company and it's patrons
than the conductors, yet just look at
the difference in the pay; it is out
rageous, unjust, damnable. Such I'M
just discrimination cannot tend to-
ward making better porters we will
warrant. H. .. "
