MILLIONS FOR COCO ROADS,

When Mr.. Brownlow introduced
a bill in Congress appropriating
$40, 100000 as a fund for a nation.
al aid to road improvement in the
United States, a good many peo-
pie were startled at the size of the
figures. The amount, however,
seems very small when compared
with the sum that a single State
now proposes to raise and spend.
The New York Legislature has
adopted a constitutional amend
msnt proposing to raise and spend
s., 100000 annually for ten years,
or $50, 100000 in all. This amend
ment must pass the Legislature
again in 1905, and then it will go
before the people for ratification
or rejection. 1t can reasonably be
expected that the measure will
meet with popular favor. The
people Of New York have given
the principle of State aid a thor
ough trial, and the results have
been highly satisfactory.

FOURTH-CIASS POSTMASTER
4 Satirical View of n Recent y
dent in the Postal Service.
From the Chicago News.)

1t must have been a stern sense o.
duty which upheld and nerved Civ
Service Commissioner Greene when \
suggested to Postmaster General PaynA
that the fourth-class postoffces were
under civil service rules. Without the
sustaining consciousness of performing
a duty he must have flinched from in
flicting such a shock. There have been
sweeping extensions Of the classified
service heretofore. but none like untoI
this. The idea is simply revolutionary
The postoffices have been for years the
most cherished of political assets. The
politicians-whether member of con-
greSS or mere bOSS-haS looked upon
the fourth-class postmastership as the
apple of his eye AS a means of re-
warding constituents. threatening foes,
enacting revengeS, and buying faVors
ii is UNSURPASSED.
The BALD proposal to remove these
offcers-70,0 900 of them, mind you-from
the sphere Of spoils politics n put
them into the classified service was
enough to make the brain Of am prac-
teal politician reel AS a politician
Of this class Mr.. Payre's probable
emotions when the suggestion was
brought to his notice may be left to
the Imagination 1t Is best to draw the
veil on such anguish. He has recovered
sufficiently. however. to protest with
vigor. as he might be expected to do.
He is positively astounded," and
thinks no n outside of Commission
er Greene has ever heard Of such u
thing" Surely" adds the postmaster
general, mo sane man will contend that
fourth-class postmasterS are in the
classified service"
Why not? 1t is true that hitherto
the fourth-class offices have not been
considered to be within the classified
service" as defined in the civil service
rules. but the order issued by President
Roosevelt last March expressly declared
that there should be included in this
service "all officers and employees in the
executive civil service of the United
States. except persons employed merely
as laborers and persons whose appoint
ments are subject to confirmation by
the senate" FOurth-class postmasters
are not "employed merely as Iaborers"
and their appointments are not sub
ject to confirmation by the senate"
They certainly are "employes in the
executive civil service Does or does
not the presidents order mean what it
saws?

Major GiIreath's Remarkable Suit.

Major" Gilreath has brought suit
ain he Asheville Street railway
and the Electric company for $50.
There is nothing unusual in this. be-
cause the street railway is accustomed
to being sued because people get hurt
stepping off the cars before they stop,
Tor horses becoming scared at the cars
INC for running over chickens and
cats. but the Majors suit is based
on the most original ground yet de-
Veloped. In fact it is doubtful if any
railway ever had to defend a similar
action. The substance of the Majors
complaint is that some of the street
railway employees have crowed like a
rooster.
This is a literal fact. The Major in
slsts that he company shall pay him
SOU because some of it's employees have
at sundry times made a noise like a
ROSTERS growing. The Major has an
aversion to crowing-he won't have a
rooster around his place that crows,
and he wants the street railway TO
make its men stop using chicken Ian
Suase-at least in his presence.
When he summons was served on
the company the officials supposed at
IHSI ludl the mad done the
Major" some damage and when they
learned the cause of compliant came
to the conclusion that some one was
trying to make game" of them, but
soon found that the suit had been
brought by r. S. Mccall for the Major
IN all seriousness. Another complaint
was that the said employees were con-
tinually talking about rails and the
Major don't want to ear rails discuss
ed in his presence-in fact he rails"
at any one who does it. The officials
came to the conclusion that either
they, the Major, or the men must be
crazy, and inquired if the men below
ed like cows or neighed like horses, or
barked like dogs, and if they had bit
ten anybody. They could not locate
anything further han the Majors dis
like to chicken growing and talk about
rails. He says that when he goes to
the square he hears some street car
men crow or make remarks about rails
and the railway company has got to
