THE P0sTAL SCANnAL.

When you come to think of 1t, that is queer talk which is going the rounds about the Postoff1ce department. Thus we read in the New York Tribune's Washington news that the President and Postmaster-G General Payne had long conference, at which they consid- cred the situation at length. It is un- derstood that the President expressed to MT. Payne his desire that the investi- gation should be as searching as the ingenuity of the officials could make it, and should be pursued until the depart ment has been purged of even the sus- picion of dishonesty. Immediately af- ter MT. Payne returned to the depart ment from the White House he sent for Fourth Assistant Postmaster General BristoW and made him acquainted with the Presidents views. MT. Bristow said that he was not looking for any im- portant developments in the investiga- ton Io-nlgEt or Tomorrow. In view or the constant activity of the twenty-five inspectors employed in the work. and of the Presidents earnest approval of the investigation and his instructions to ''go to the bottom" important action at any moment would cause no surprise.
 And so sorth and so on. Of course everybody will be glad that the Presi- dent has given instructions to ''go to the bottom," but are we to understand that there was any doubt in Washington that he would give such instructions? And are we to suppose that unless he had the rottenness would have been covered up?

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier: J. D., who writes so strongly against boards, ignores the fact that they pro- tect the face from the cold in winter and from the heat in summer. It has been said that Phillips Brooks, whose smooth face Is so commended by J. D., would have lived many more years if he had worn a beard. I wonder wheth- CT J. D. slaves all the hair from his head, not limiting the razor to the beard. Consistency would seem to re- quire this in him. Physicians probably like the beard because it promotes health and prolongs life. Imagine Christ or the apostle Paul with 2 shaw en face! I wish to inform J.

ENere are perhaps some things which people in this country who are advooat- ing government ownership of railroads don't think of. Therefore the experi- ence with government railroads which Australia has had may be worth their attention. The recent labor agitation and strike by the government railroad en- ployes brought out the fact that the government railroads are Overmanned and overbuilt. Every evil that was feared and forewarned in the public ownership of railroads has actually ap- peared Lines have been run in certain districts where the traffic gives no suffi- cient justification. Branches have been constructed, stations erected, equip
 ment purchased and expensive gangs of
 useless laborers employed simply for political reasons. While this indiscreet,
 wanton and excessive expenditure was
 being provided for conservative busi-
 ness men and statesmen pleaded and
 argued against it, but without avail. A
 drought came and dried up the land,
 Crops failed. Cattle perished. There
 was no freight to transport. The rail-
 roads were practically useless in many
 instances, but were kept in operation for the salaries of officials and en-
 ployes. Expenses more than ate up profits. Then the people laid the blame of their own irrationalty upon the gov- ernment. Retrenchment was demand ed and accomplished Unnecessary trains were laid up, and wages were lowered; and the employees struck.
 It has lately been discovered that even the initiative and referendum is not an unmixed good, and now it ap- pears that government ownership of public utilities may have its draw

Christian. I doubt whether any good is done by missionaries. Our religion teaches all the high principles and nor ality that yours teaches. Christians do not stop with preaching that theirs is the best. They teach hatred of other beliefs. This has caused much trouble in the East. In Ceylon Christianity makes converts in the lowest caste, and it is noticeable that when there is 8 famine or the Christians have some thing to give away more converts are made than at other times.

AN EXCELLENT BOSTON NOTION

a ES 4 GAA AS<sA AbOoAO O4t ~ SAss One of the good Boston notions is the Work Horse Parade Association"
 The object of the association is purely benevolent. It was formed to encour- age the better care of work horses, their kinder treatment. and consequently their finer appearance. To these ends an annual parade with attendant prizes has been instituted. No less than a thousand dollars is distributed to the successful participants: and the as- sociation has decided also to give di- plornas to every driver whose team
 shows careful and humane handling.
 The parade took place the other day. In it were four hundred and fifty entries, and thousands of spectators lined the streets cheering approval. At least double the number of entries is expected next year. Owners as well as drivers are beginning to realize the |value of scheme which means not only better looking but also more useful work horses.
 This Boston notion might well be adopted in other cities. right here in New Haven, for instance. Warehouses, as well as workmen. deserve good treatment. Often they don't get it. They would get more of it if the at- tention of their owners and drivers were called to the matter as it is by the Bos- ton Work Horse Association.

This lit- tie society, which numbers thirty-eight individuals, seeks to solve the problem of how to live happily. The members are pledged to observe certain simple rules of living, which they have carried out now for three years. They eat no meat, but live principally on fruits and herbs, and they wear one simple gar- ment only, and no hats. There are six teen women in the sect. They know no laws save those of nature. and they amuse themselves with Wagnerian mu- sic. The founder of the colony is a Bel gian.

Among the exhibits of the Postof11ce department at the St. Louis Exposition will be a quaint wooden chart formerly used in the postoffice at Manila during Spanish occupation. This chart was hung on the wall of the building, and the names of those who had letters or newspapers were written and exposed to the public on slips of paper which fitted into notches upon it's surface. When a Filipino saw his name on the chart he inquired at the window for his letters. If he did not find his name there was no use in bothering the delivery clerk. Similar arrangements are found in many of the towns and smaller cities in Spain and in some parts of South America.

Nottingham alone in the first four months of the present year sent $2,O00,- GOO worth of laces to the United States.
