MAIL FOR FARMERS.
An Encouraging Statement Issued
by Postmaster General Payne.
When Rural Carriers Permeate Every Com
munity In the United States the Cost
VIII Aggregate S25,0OO,OOO- Cheap
Postage Swells Receipts.

Washington, Jan. 3.-Postmaster
General Payne is confident that the
rural free delivery will pay for itself.
At the present time the cost of
restricted rural delivery is about S.
100000. This is just about what the
postal receipts of the country were in
1862. When the entire country is
supplied with a rural free delivery
the total cost will be about $25, ,000,-
600, or $4,OO0,OOo more than the to-
tai receipts of the post office depart
ment as late as 1872. With the extern
sion of rural free delivery to all parts
of the United States it is hoped that
foreign postage will be reduced from
five cents to two. The postmaster
general believes such a reduction
would increase the postal receipts.
The present cost of sending foreign
mail prevents anything like an active
correspondence among poor persons
who have relatives and friends on the
other side, and American business
houses cannot send their circulars
abroad without a too great expense.
The two directions in which the post
master general is now moving newt
abby will result in a free delivery of
mail throughout the United States,
and the ability to send letters to Eu-
rope as cheapiy as they are now sent
between states of the union.

WILL PUNISH THE PATRONS.
In Mississippi a Negro Woman Postmaster
Was Objectionable to the People But
Uncle Sam Gives Them No Relief.

Washington, Jan. 3.-The feature
of the cabinet meeting Friday was
the decision to close permanently the
post Office at Indianola, Miss. from
which the postmaster, Minnie NJ. Cox,
colored, resigned under compulsion q
Jew days ago, since which time the
office has been closed. The bondsmen
have brought the matter to the at
tention of the authorities here with
the view to being relieved of the re-
sponsibility of the accumulated mail.
The postmaster general had
thorough investigation made and has
become satisfied that the woman was
obliged to resign under duress-in
fact, that her life was endangered.
Having represented this state of af-
fairs TO the cabinet, after long dis
cussion, the decision above noted was
reached, and the Office will not be
reopened until the people in the dis
trict are ready to accept the work
of this woman as their postmaster.
