Postmasters Who Raised Their Own
Salaries.

Springfield (Mass.) Republicans:
There is no longer any doubt
that the policy of the post
office department, which rates
the offices according to the value of
stamps sold, has proved demoraIiz-
ing one. just now there is a lively
hunt i'll progress to uncover those
postmasters in the neighborhood of
Boston who have been selling stamps
in that city to an extent which has
diverted 100000 year from the
Boston postoffice. Offices have in
cases trebled their stamp sales. de-
spite the fact that the population in
every instance has dropped off. or, at
best, remained stationary. In this
way scheming postmasters have been
able to lift their own salaries as well
as those of their help. increase their
force of carriers and clerks and Sc
cure better pOstOffice quarters.
The bingham Office has been call
ed down. and Concord Junction,
Stoneham. Lexington and Waverly
are said to be among the places which
have done constantly increasing
stamp business. Boston business
houses have yielded to the solicita-
tions of a number of postmasters in
towns where they live. and in some
cases in those places where they have
their summer homes. and have bought
their stamps from these various Of
fees. 1t is natural that the Boston
postoffice, where the business yielded
by these stamps must be handled, OBJ
jects to this state of things. Stamps
so sold have not contributed to pro-
viding the facilities for handling such
business.
In view of these revelatiOns-and
there have been others in the past.
and are more instances waiting to be
uncovered-it might be in order to
inquire whether the basing of the
salaries and appropria tions for post
office on their sale of stamps is the
most desirable one that could be eTf-
ployed. 1t has certainly begotten ZEN
terprise'' if an illegitimate sort.
If Postmaster General Payne is cor
reetIy reported. the government pro-
poses to make the postmasters who
have increased the money appropria-
ted by the department. to the use of
their offices, through the sale of
stamps outside of their field. pay back
the sum total of such increase. If
such be the purpose of the depart
mont and it is able to enforce the de-
mand. the situation will become a
serious one-not only to the postmas-
tiers. but to representatives in con-
gress. who will be earnestly besought
to turn aside this blow and save their
appointees from its pains and penal
ties
1t is also in order to consider that

NO one desires to annex Panama.
The United States is not hunting for
any South American territories to
add to her possessions" This is the
plea of republican administration
paper. Nor were we hunting Il few
years ago for Asiatic territory. But
the administration made show of
necessity" and the national honor"
The same sort of false reasoning may
hitch to our possessions South
American state. and it will appear in
due time. Who would have thought
few years ago that our army or
navy would be employed to maintain
or make successful the secession of
a state from an American republic?
That's what the United States is do
ing i'm Panama. The law of state ne
cessity is pleaded by the ad1ninistra-
ton. Having made up the mind to
steal. reasons can be found as plenty
as bIackberries. and the people, UNI
der the lead of presidents and secre-
taries, will be found eager to accept
the Doodle.

The Local Paper.

\ writer in the Review of Reviews
sums up the attractions of the local
paper as follows:
Each copy is read not only by the
five people usually credited to the or
binary paper, but by twice or thrice
that number in many instances, for
many subscribers pass their paper on
and on to the inmates of less FORUM
ate homes. These publications are
prominently the home papers of
newspaperdom. They are not super
ficially scanned while men travel to
business and then left for brakemen
to gather up. They go directly into
homes. and the reading of them is a
duty as we'll as a pleasure. Hence
their peculiar value to advertisers and
their value as molders of public opin-
ion"

WAS 1T DYSPEPSIA?
Extreme Thinness Symptom-ScIentific
Way by which 1T Can be Cured.

Mona cures dyspepsia by the only
natural method of giving tone and
strength to the digestive organs,
soothing and healing the irritated and
infiamed conditions, and mingling
with the food so that it is more easily
assimilated and digested.
Extreme thinness and emaciation is
one of the principal symptoms of in
digestion, but many of the following
symptoms are also in evidence:
Uneasiness at stomach, acidity,
water-brash, splitting up of food. col
ic, sensation of weight or heaviness at
pit of stomach. sore mouth, constipa-
ton, sediment in urine, night sweats,
headache. cold hands and feet, pain
under shoulder blade. pain between
shoulders, confusion of mind, defects
of vision or hearing, fiatulency, heart
burn, nausea, gripes. coated tongue,
sour taste in the mouth. diarrhoea,
dry skin, nervousness. sick headache,
congestion of the head. vertigo or dir
ziness, drowsiness, sleeplessness, pal
pitatiOn of the heart.
Mona will cure dyspepsia. A 80
cent bottle will give strength and tone
to the digestive organs and aid the
food to assimilate, while its continued
use for a reasonable length of time
viii bring back natural weight and
restore health and strength.
A few days use of Mona will show
a marked gain in health and in a few
weeks the cure will be complete. This
is a strong statement, but T. H. Thorn
as emphasizes it by agreeing to re-
fund your money if Mi-o-na does not
do all that is claimed for it.

if there has been so much of this sort
of thing going on in Massachusetts,,
it is quite time to ask how about the
rest of the country? 1t is not likely
that we have been sinners above the
rest. and so the field of inquiry should
be widely extended. That it will yield
results in the neighborhood of the
large cities of the country quite equal
to those in sight around Boston is to
be expected.
