WASHINGTON, Feb. Is -ThrOugh
Mr.. John L. Bristow, Fourth Assis-
tant Postmaster General, the Post
master General has announced what
is intended to be a gradual, but new
ertheless a decided, change of policy
as to fourth class postmasters. In
the future, so far as the department
can effect such a change without Op
posing everybody in Congress fourth
class postmasters are not to be RI
moved from Office excpt for inem
ciency or misconduct. Those posi-
tions are no longer to be regarded as
political prizes to be awarded every
four years.
Postmaster General Payne ex-
planned this policy to Mr.. Bristow
several days ago, stating at the time
that no intention existed to make a
hard and fast rule. It was recog.
nized that many Representatives
and Senators had already pledged
certain postoffce appointments in
their districts, and that any fixed
rule must work to the great disad-
vantage of such Congressman. Those
pledges we're c DrdingIy to be OBJ
served and fourth-class appointments
we're to be made in accordance with
the old custom whenever such agree
ments existed. But Mr. Bristow was
to make it plain to all his Congress
sional callers that the attitude OF
the department is against the old
political method, and that hereafter
fourth. class postmasters who serve
satisfactorily can expect to hold Office
without regard TO the old four-year
service rule.
This attitude is supposedly in ac-
cord with the Presidents views.

THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND
LABOR.

Creation Of a New Cabinet Office That 10 to
Wie4d Considerable POwsF-sSpaFate La
Dor Department Wanted.
Senator Nelson's bill to create a
Department of Commerce has passed
the Senate, but not in It's original
form, nor even in the form described
in our columns last week. The
Patent NOfice and the Coast and
GeOdetio Survey are no longer in
clude0 in the new department.. The
Census Bureau, however, has been 9
stored, and the department has been
made almost distinctively a Depart.
ment of Statistics. The only bureaus
not statistical included within it
relate to shipping, such as the Life
Saving Service, the Lighthouse
Board, the Marine Hospital Service,
etc. Apart from the Census. the
most important statistical bureau is
that of Labor. Before the act was
voted upon one of the Democratic
Senators who had favored the crea.
ton of a new Department of Labor
with a Cabinet representative moved
that she name of the department. be
changed from the Department of
Commerce to the Department Of
Commerce and Labor. This amend
ment was promptly accepted by
Senator Nelson, and the bill was
soon after passed in this amended
form. The change thus made was
designed to give satisfaction to, the
representatives of organized labor ;
but it is doubtful if the concession
will prove satisfactory to them.
Their object in demanding u Depart.
ment of Labor was that they might
have a representative in the. Cabi
net who would present the interests
and the sentiments of the wage earn
ers with the Same zeal that the SEQ
Rotary of Agriculture presents the
interests and sentiments of agricul-
turists. They claim shat most of
the present Cabinet positions are
naturally filed by representatives. of
commercial GLASSES, who will have
still another representative through
the Department of Commerce, and
they now fear that the consolidation
of the Department OF LABOR Nth
that of Commerce will mean shat
labor interests will be subordinate
in the naming of the Secretary, and
n the character OF his report. The
other criticism made upon the. new
department. is that it does not CON
tain the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, though this Commission
deals with commercial questions
affecting public policy more directly
than any other branch IF the Gov.
eminent service which has now a
Cabinet representative. But whether
the Interstate Commission is to de-
velop into an administrative or a
judicial department of the Govern
ment cannot. perhaps now be deter
mined-New York Outlook.

Correspondence Of The Progressive Farmer.
The events at the Capitol this
weak might almost be summed up
in two words, Philippines and butter.
The Senate has devoted almost its
entire time to the consideration of
the Philippine question-that is to
say, the Democratic side has devoted
the time while the Republican Sen
ators have smoked in the cloak
rooms and committee rooms. A bril-
liant debate between Senators Hoar
and Plat of Connections marked
the proceedings on Tuesday and
filed the chairs in the chamber.
There were no new ideas advanced
by either Senator, but their oratory
was brilliant and eloquent and proved
a welcome relief from the monotony
which had marked the previous ses
sions.
The House has thought of little
but butter and Oleomargarine all
Of the week, and, although the
chamber was not divided upon strict
party lines, the preponderance of the
opposition to the Henry bill was on
the Democratic side. On Tuesday
and Wednesday the bill was consld
cred under the five minute rule and
the de pate was highly entertaining
if not instructive. The Democrats
approached very CLOSE to flibuster-
ing in their attempts to amend the
bill so as to render it's defeat inevita
BILE and quick and sparkling repair
tee was INDUCED in by both sides Of
the House. On Wednesday the bill
was carried, having been amended
to include provision for the inspec-
ton and branding of renovated but
ter.
The introduction in the House by
Representative Newlands of Nevada
of a resolution which invites Cuba
to become annexed to the United
States has been the occasion of much
gossip and speculation in the lobbies
and committee rooms and there seem
t. be a good many Representatives
who are DESTROYS of seeing the
island an integral part of the United
States although it is doubtful If the
present III use would be willing to
take the action on a Democratic
initiative. It is held at the other
end of the Capital, however, that
the Plat Amendment perpetually
bars the way to annexation and that
all talk in that direction is idle spec
ulatiOn.
It is difficult to predict to what
the House will turn it's attention
with the oleomargsrine bill out of
the way. There is a desire on the
part of the Republican leaders to de
lay action on the Cuban reciprocity
question for the immediate present
and, in fact, until some Gan
be arrived at which will not be OBJ
noxious to the representatives from
Michigan and California. The Demo
Gratis are trying to force the issue

Set for Next Friday.
HAULED OFF HIS HOUSE

Warrants were issued last Tuesday
out Of Justice Hawthornes court for the
arrest Of five prominent ranchmen OF
Butcher creek. The complaining wit
ness IS Charles Stewart. a young man
who claims suuatter rights to land on
the creek, and in dispute OF whose claim
arose the unpleasantncss which resulted
in what Stewart claims was a riot, dur
ing which his log cabin was hauled off
the premises and he and his wife made
to leave their happy home.
The men for whom tho warrants were
issued are j. III. Pluner, George Scharti,
Tony Early, James Burnett and Swan
Youngstrom. all of whom are considered
Of good reputation and whose ranches
are among the largest ones ID their local
ity.
Stewart. who arrived in the city last
Monday night to make complaint, gives
his story OF the summary proceeding as
follows:
The squatter's claim to the property,
situated on the west Butcher, had been
originally held by Guy Olson. The land
had never been surveyed by the govern
ment and all the rights to it were squat
ter's rights. Stewart claims that Olson
vacated the premises and on the advice
of neighbors and friends he went onto
the place a few weeks ago. Last Friday
i 1.A ..,,l%
Olson among them, came to the ranch
and ordered him off, and stated they
would give him until II o'clock next day
to move. Stewart says that he tod
1 them at that time that he would 60,
provided he could get a team to move
him The next day Olson and j. a.
Plummer appeared with a communica
ton, calling upon Stewart to moyf.
Stewart claims that at that tine
Olson and Plummer said they would
give him five days in which TO vacate the
premises and he told them he would
come here and see an attorney, and il he
had no legal right on the ranch he would
leave.
Monday afternoon, between ? and ).
o'clock, a crowd congregated in front o
Stewarts little log cabin, which he hac
put up a few days before. These men
