PosTMAsTERsHIP FOR LOW.
President rendered New York Place to
Former Mayor, Then to Riis.

NEW YORK, Nov. 30.-As indicat-
ing how completely free the president
intends to keep himself from factional
alliances in politics it can be stated
on the best authority that few days
ago he offered the pOstmastership of
New York to Seth Low, Mayor Nc
Clellan's predecessor. While Mr.. Low
assured the president that he fully
appreciated the honor implied, he de-
clined in positive terms. The former
mayor is not allied to any faction in
New York politics. He has the enthu-
siastic hatred of Senator Plat and
Governor Odeil regards him with
much disfavor. Besides, he was not
reelected when he ran for the ohice
the second time, and this usually

critieises War Secretary.
Under these circumstances the idea
of forming a short service home army
with a two years enlistment will be
kept back.
Col. Sir Howard Vincent said this
week that he attributed the stagna-
tion in home defense reform to the
war secretary's dislike for any plan
except his own.
Il have recently returned from the
United States" he said, where I at
tended the maneuvers, saw many of
the national guards and reviewed the
Seventh regiment, whose teams are
to visit London next summer to COM
pete with the Queens Westministers.
Every state has it's own national
guard, which forms a fine force of
splendid material. Drills do not inter-
fere with civil work and with the ex-
ception of a weeks camp and musket-
ry they take place in the winter.
Works Without interference.
''The state builds the drill halls, in
which two battalions can move with
ease. Our headquarters in eompari-
son are novels. In New York 100000
per annum is the allowance for fifteen
regiments; the capitatiOn grant is 32s
and in camp the men get 5s a day.
THE force does not suffer from ir-
responsible changes, it's fundamental
principle IS correctly laid down and
worked without interference. We could
easily have an equally fine force here
if our citizen soldiers We're not har-
assed by maladministration.''

when the appointment is made 1t will
be great surprise both to the public
and to the politicians.

the offer made to Mr.. Low, comes the
information that Jacob A. Riis, the
famous sociologist, was under consid-

democrat by the way, and a big
merchant, was considered 1t may be
said with certainty that no politician
will receive the appointment, nor will
any man get it who does not accept
the terms of the president, which are
simply that he must devote his whole
time to the Office.

Although a large number of the per-
sons to whom invitations had been ex-
dress the Good Roads convention were
unable to respond, the convention to-
day was a decided success, and the en-
thusiasts for good roads had a profit
able meeting. The program carried
out included several excellent ad-
dresses, and in addition to the reading
of papers written by those to whom
topics had been assigned by the COM
mittee, and were not able to be pres
ent in person, furnished good material
for thought and instruction.
The county commissioners from a
number of eastern Washington coun-
ties and from Umatilla county, Oregon,
were in attendance, and took great in
terest in the proceedings of the con-
vention.
At / o'clock this afternoon the Wis
itors were taken in carriages by the
local reception committee to the scene
of operations on the sample road, now
under construction by the government
road builders. The experts were on
hand and were profuse in explaining
the operations being carried on and
readily answered the numerous ques-
tions put to them by the out of town
representatives.
The visitors We're highly pleased
with the road and every one of them
will return to their homes and i'm
mediately urge their respective coun
ties to take up road building along
the lines now being carried on by
Walla Walla county.
At 2 o'clock the visitors returned to
the city and proceeded to the Walla
Walla club rooms where the first ses-
sion of the convention was held
Afternoon Session.
The afternoon session of the con-
vention was held in the Walla Walla
club rooms and was attended by all

the farmers and citizens of Walla

Ex-Governor Miles c. Moore presid-
ed over the meeting and introduced
the speakers.
Judge Scott's Address.
Judge John H. Scott, of Salem, Or,
president of the Oregon Good Roads
association, was the first speaker of
the afternoon. He devoted some time
to the subject of good roads and made
many valuable suggestions in the
method of carrying on the work. He
said in part:
Il believe there is no question of so
great Importance now before the farm
ing communities as this question of
road improvement and construction.
With good roads in the country
districts come numberless other pub
lie conveniences. The government will
not extend the rural delivery to dis
| tricts with miserably poor roads.
Country transportation can never be
as cheap as it should be, with poor
country roads leading to your mar
kets, and the relation between the
city and rural settlements can never
be so intimate and pleasant where
bad roads and poor bridges separate
the two divisions Of society.
ITO a limited degree, the convicts
should be employed in road construc-
ton. They should be worked in quar-
ries where the road material is pre-
pared, and wherever they can be safe
ly used, in the building of roads.
