RULES FOR RURAL CARRIERS.
Circular Issued by the Postoff1ce De-
partment.

WASHINGTON, June 6th.-Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Bristow today announced
that the salaries of the rural free delivery mail
carriers will be adjusted on the basis of the
number of miles travelled. Further than this
Mr. Brstow would not discuss the adjustment
the apartment is now making in the classified
ton of the carriers.
The following statement regarding the out
side business privileges of the rural carriers
was issued at the Postoffice Department today
and an order in accordance Herewith will be
promulgated at once by the Postmaster Gen
eral:
Under the law rural carriers are not per-
mited TO solicit business or receive orders OF
any kind from any person. firm or corpora
ton. and cannot, during the hours of their
employment, carry any merchandise for hire,
except that they may carry merchandise for
hire for and at the request of patrons residing
on their respective routes, provided the same
shall not interfere with the proper discharge
of their official duties, and under such regula-
tons as the Postmaster General may pre-
scribe.
"Uader this provision of law no mailabIe
matter may be handled by rural carriers while
serving their routes, unless the proper postage
has been prepaid, with the single exception Of
county newspapers. which, under the law, are
pernltleQ 10 De CAETltu Htt lHAOuEuOut tut
county in which they are published, to actual
subscribers, and such newspapers addressed
TO subscribers, residents on rural routes, must
be deposited at the postoffce, the same as pa
pers for other subscribers.
The hire for merchandise carried on re-
quest of the patrons of rural free delivery
must be paid by the patron. Carriers will not
be permitted to receive any compensation from
the seller of such merchandise.
Articles or packages which are mailable
which are handed to the carrier or deposited
in the postofice or in rural letter box or IN n
collection box located on a rural route, with
request that the rural carrier deliver the same.
are subject to the rules regulating ua'l matter,
including the payment OF postage thereon.
Articles. or packages, that are not malta
bic. which the patron desires the rural Garner
to carry. must be delivered 10 the carrier 10
person, and in carrying merchandise Tor hire
rural carriers are not permitted 20 leave their
routes as officially laid out or 10 accept any
thing that will in any way delay the delivery
Of the mai, or in any way interfere with the
efficiency OF the service.

Who for President.

While the Republican Presidential nominee
will be President Roosevelt, and the Repub-
ican national convention be merely ratify-
ing body; and while the Vice Presidential
nominee will likely be Representative Hit, of
Illinois, the Democratic party is all at sea as
to nominees for either position.
Judge Alton B. Parker, of New York, is
in the lead, but he is not satisfactory to Tam
many, besides William R. Hearst, also of
New York, will have considerable number
of followers in the Democratic convention,
and Mr.. Hearst is not satisfied with Hills
arbitrary control of the New York convention.
He will control more than one hundred del
egates. Judge Parker is not satisfactory to
William j Bryan, and Bryan will WELD some
influence in the Democratic national conven-
ton.
Four days last week there we're conferences
among Democratic leaders in the East in New
York. Every candidate yet mentioned
Parker, Olney, Pattison, Hearst, Mcclellan
and Gorman--was discussed, but no conclusion
was reached, yet it was said that German
would be satisfactory to all. His well known
conservatism, it was said, would prevent an
tagonism by the business interests of the
country, very important matter. No man,
Democrat or Republican, it is quite certain,
who is not satisfactory to the business inter
ests can win. 1t is generally supposed that
the business interests are not tavorably IN.
clined toward President Roosevelt. He is
regarded as too impetuous, too hasty and too
uncertain. He believes too much in the
United States being world power, and there
fore too prone to take hand in European
and Asiatc policies. A conservative Demo-
crat, like Senator German, upon eonserva-
tive platform, it is thought can defeat Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Upon the acceptability Of
the Democratic candidate and platform de-
ponds the fortunes of the Democratic ticket
next November The Democratic platform
of New York has not sounded the Democratic
keynote. Most of the Democratic State plat
forms have followed that of Maryland, which
calls for revision of the tariff in a spirit of
fairness to all interests, duly to regard labor
and capital, to promote their healthy growth
and to guard against inHicting injury upon es.
tablished industries by abrupt and radical laws;
while odious monopolies might expect redue-
ton of excessive tariff rates which enable
them to extort oppressive tribute from the
people.

Republican Change of Sentiment.

If the speech of the Secretary of the Treas
ury at Wilmington be taken as the Keynote
of the Republican campaign, then that party
has reversed its position in the last two presi-
Dental campaigns. Secretary Shaw virtually
favored the high cost of living, and said a
campaign book would soon be issued, showing
that the wages of labor in protected industries
had been increased in proportion as the cost
of living had increased. But what OF the
preponderating thousands not employed IN
protected industries? What Of the thousands
whose incomes are fixed and Of other thous-
ands who work for fixed salaries?
In 1896 and 1900 the Republican party
plead earnestly for all these people and for
the workmen in the protected industries.
They said the free coinage Of silver would
virtually cut everybody's income in half
Now, according to Secretary Shaw, the
Republican party favors the reduction Of
everybody's income from one-four,h to one
third, by upholding the high COS, Of living.
Conceding, for arguments sake, that the
Republican contention that free coinage OF
silver meant reduction in wages and fixed
salaries, what difference does it make TO the
people whether their cost Of living Is increased
BY debased money or increased cost Of food
and clothing?

Let those who traduee Baltimore either
move out or shot up. The fact that they stay
here gives the lie to their viliseation OF places
6 stigma on the sanity Of the grumblers. Shut
up and get busy. II is hard TO tell which Is
the greater misfortnne-untruthfuln or IN
sanity But the man who speaks III Of the
city he lives in is afflicted with one or the
other.-BditimoTe american.
The above is good But the American has
not forgotten, surely, that within the las, ten
years the papers of that city teened with the
most villainous abuse of many Of its citizens,
both in their advertising, news and editorial
columns. Mobtown was a common name for
Baltimore BY some of the most prominent
speakers on the rostrum, and writers in their
communications, and many business men
have said to their customers that its mum
eipal administration was rotten, &c. Vulgar
cartoons are almost daily gwen Of public men,
leading strangers to believe all that has been
said Of that city.

from the Philadelphia Pa. Ledger Of June

the other ''The Evil That Men Do Lives After
Then" Some wholesome political truths are
given in both articles, especially SO in the
case Of President Roosevelt, but if nominated
the Ledger, stauneh Republican journal,
will support him, Notwithstanding its protes
tations against such a violation Of the plain
est standards of personal honor as well as
public decency," &c. In the other, the cor
rupt tactics of the late Senator Quay are
scourged with thousand lashes. Nothing
was allowed to stand in the way of obtaining
his ends-honor, integrity. manhood-so he
could carry his point. Read both articles

NEGRO TO SECOND ROOSEVELT
President Select Maryland Lawyer
to Make Nominating Speech.

Washington correspondents and Baltimore
papers state that President Roosevelt, IN
perturbed by the criticism that has beset him
since he began TO manifest desire TO give the
negro the political recognition to which he
conceives the race is entitled from the Repub-
can party. has decided that representative
of the negro Republicans of the country shall
make one of the seconding speeches at the
Chicago Convention. He sent for Senator
McComas and made known to him his wishes,
and asked him 10 advise him as to the choice
of the negro to whom the honor should go.
Senator McComas recommended II AIRY s.
Cummings, negro lawyer of Baltimore, who
is delegate elect from the Fourth Congress
sional District of Maryland. This district is
represented in the House by j. W Denny, a
Democrat Cummings is regarded as brill
liant speaker and representative of his race
who reflects credit upon it. The President
accepted the recommendation, and Cummings
will be duly notified of the distinction"
