The first order of Fourth Assistant
Postmaster Bristow, who has taken
charge of the free delivery system in
place Of A. w Machen, issued Tues
day, is to the effect that rural free
delivery carriers shall not act as
agents for business houses. The in-
yestigation Of the Office of Mr.. Maehen
shows that some one has been putting
the letter carriers in this category.
It is said that In the files of Machen's IS
Office is list of 5000 names of deal
ers, department. stores etc. These peo-
pie were able to get the advance news
of the places where routes were to be
established, and inspectors would
furnish names of people along the
routes. With the list of houses at
hand and the names of the country
people it was easy to do business in
the postofice department for which
somebody must have been paid. The
rural free delivery system which has
proved such a success, snotwithstand-
ing its mismanagement and extraya-
gance, is now described by competent
authority at Washington as the most
extravagant bureau ever oragnized in
any department. "-Asheville Citizen.

At the recent meeting of the anti
alcoholic congress in Berlin, it was
stated by Herr Delbruck of Bremen,
the president of the congress, that beer
drinking as means Of combaSag
alcoholism has been clearly sbewga to
be a failure. It leads often 10 the
use of distilled liquors, but an itself
it produces all the evils OF whiskey.
"Of 14o patients who were treated in

More Misnamed Batteries.

The War Dpartment has named a
large number of seacoast batteries IN
honor of officers who performed dis
tinguished service in the War of the
Revolution, the War of 1872, the War
with Mexico, the Indian Wars, the
War Between the States and the War
with Spain. The Department is to be
commended for its disposition to pre-
serve IN this way the memory OF the
brave mon who have died for their
country, but does not appear to be
very happy in the selection of those
who are to be thus honored. The names
have been chosen, apparently, without
the least regard to local conditions and
circumstances. For example, the
batteries at Fort Moultrie have been
named as follows:
Battery Logan, in honor of Capt.
William Logan, 7th United States IN
fantry, who was killed on August 9,
1877, in action with Nez Perces Indians
at Big Hole Basin, Montana.
Battery Bingham, in honor of Second
Lieut. Horatio S.. Bingham, ID United
States cavalry, who was killed on
December 6, 1866. in action with
Sioux Indians near Fort Phil Kearny,
Dakota Territory.
Battery McGorkle, in honor Of First
Lieut.. Henry L. McCorkle, 25th
United States infantry, who was killed
on July /, 1893, at the battle Of FL
Caney, Cuba.
Battery Lord, in honor of Assistant
Surgeon George E. Lord, U. S. A.,
who was killed on June 25, 1875, IN
action with Sioux Indians at Little
Big Horn River, Montana.
We have not the least doubt that all
of thesa men deserve to be held in re-
membrance by the country under whose
glorious flag they laid down their
lives; but why should they be chosen
of all the men who have made the
supreme sacrifice for their country for
special honor at the army spot on
Suilivan's S Island, South Carolina9
Why should battery at Fort Moul-
trie be named Battery Logan in honor
of Capt. William Logan, who was
killed fighting Indians in Montana,
instead of Battery Anderson, in honor
of Major Robert Anderson, who was
the first Union soldier under fire at
Charleston in the War for Southern
Independence?
why Battery Bingham in honor Of
Second Lieut.. Bingham for fighting
Sioux Indians in Dakota Territory,
instead of Captain Wallace, of South
Carolina, who was killed at the Battle
of Wounded Knee, also fighting In
dians?
Why Battery McCorkle in honor of
First Lieutenant McCorkle, who was
killed at Ell Caney, Cuba, instead of
Lieptenant Se1leck, Of South Carolina,
who fought with the Palmetto Regi-
ment in Mexico and died the bravest

4 POSTAL DEFICIENCY.
Postmaster General Payne Admits
That Congress Will be Called
on to Meet a Deficiency Aggre-
eating S227, 800.

Washington, May 21.-Co Congress vii
be asked at the opening of its nex'
session to make an appropriation tc
cover Deficiencies in both the regular
free delivery service and the rural free
delivery service of the postomce de.
partment. Postmaster General Payne
announced to-day that this deficiency
now aggregates exactly S227,3G0, OF
which slD5. 700 is in the free delivery
branch and s121, 500 in the rural free
delivery service. Tie Postmaster Cen
SeraI said he very much regretted the
existence Of the deficit, and, for the
first time, publicly criticised the ad-
ministration Of 4. w. Machen, the
general superintendent of the free de-
livery system, who is on indefinite
leave Of absence. This is not the
first time thata deficiency has occurred
in the free delivery service, = said Mr..
Payne, but regret It's; existence.
At the opening of the last Congress
MI. Machen pointed ont that without
additional appropriations no more
routes could be established beyond
those ready to be installed on January
i. He said, however, If Congress ap-
propria5sd $500, 600 for the parpose,
the work coald be continued during
the rest of the fiscal year. This ap-
preparation was promptly made, but
it was exhausted. Despite this fact,
the ofice (the free delivery Office was
going on increasing the deficiency,
and if We had not taken steps to cur
tail the expenditures and suspend the
tablishment of routes until the be-
ginning of the next fiscal year the de-
6cit would have been much larger.
It was not good administration.
Op May 9 the Postmaster General sent
a letter to Mr.. Bristow, fourth as
sissant, stating his wish that there be
no deficit, and asking him to curtail
expenditures with that end in view.
Postmaster General Payne tonight,
in discussing the big deficiency in the
free delivery service, said:
It is very repreh BILE for bureau
officer to have deficit of $500, coo roll
ed up on the first of a year. 1t was
bad,svery bad administration. 4 bureau
officer should not incur a deficit without
cosulting his superior officer, the
Postmaster General. cannot stand
for that kind of administration, and I
20 not approve of it. I do not say
that there was anything criminal, or
anything wrong in Mr.. Machen's ac-
#tion. but it was certainly loose ad-
ministration, and he should have had
his business more in hand
Postmaster General Payne was asked
number of questions as to the effect
of the discovery of the deficiency on the
status of Mr.. Machen, but parried all
the questions. He said that the mat
ter would be looked into and com
munication might be sent TO Mr..
Machen asking for an explanation of
the condition of affairs.
