RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION
(Fr0m Southside Sentmel.)

A postmaster at certain Office not
many miles from Urbanna complain
ed to us few days ago that papers
TO which he subscribed and paid for
were frequently day or two late in
reaching him, and when they did
come they bore unmistakable evidence
of having been opened and read on
the way, consequently this particular
postmaster felt that he had a griev-
ance against his brother postmaster
somewhere, aud for the good of him
self aud the public generally he sug-
gested that the Sentinel should speak
out against practice so palpably un-
just to the publisher and his patrons.
Now, it is a fact that often, upon
soliciting subscribers to the Sentinel,
we have been told: 81 am postmaster
at -- and see the Sentinel any
how, so there is no use in my sub
scribipg." In such cases we have
always preferred to believe that the
postmaster in question read the paper
of some friend by special agreement,
and not that he read promiscuously
the papers which went to his office,
taking any one he saw fit from the
office, and, perhaps, sending it home
for the family to read. The govern
ment does not clothe its agents with
the right to appropriate to their own
use the property of the public, and
would doubtless make it warm for
any of them who were caught in the
act. There is no criminal intent on
the part of any postmaster who in-
dulges in this practice, but it is
serious offence, notwithstanding, and
one which postmssters generally
should discountenance. IN conclu-
sion, we would respectfully request
that any postmaster who cares to read
the Sentinel, but is not able to sub
scribe, instead of taking out and
reading papers to which other people
subscribe and pay for, send US his
name and address so that we can en-
ter him upon our free list.

ANENT A BUSINESS SCHOOL.

About ten days ago we read an in
teresting letter in the VIRGINIA
CITIZEN from S. Roland Hall, Of
Scranton, Pa, asking the question if
the people of the Northern Neck
deemed it wise thing to establish a
business academy somewhere in the
Northern Neck. Dir. Hall is a ma
tive of the Northern Neck and man
of high business AID intellectual at.
tainment, and we trust that his sug-
gestion, that a business school be
operated in some village in the
Northern Neck, will meet with abun-
dant success. Why not locate such
an institution at MOntross? 1t lies

masking a vigorous fight for the estab-
lishment>of parcels post in this
country. The editor continues his
able argument in the March number,
showing what portion of the popula-
ton would be most benefited by such
a service, and his editorial in the
front of the magazine is of special
interest to manufacturers, small
storekeepers of the country towns
and villages, and merchants in the
large cities, for these classes would
profit most by the parcels post, al
though the majority of them do not
fully appreciate the benefits they
would derive.
