A Blow to Civil Service.

Word from Washington concerning
the rural free mail delivery is not
such as to bring cheer to the hearts of
the drivers of these routes
Economy in government expenses,
made necessary in every department by
the large deficit in the revenues, threat
ems to be applied heroically in the rural
free delivery service. Unless the peo-
pie living on the routes make vigorous
protest, rural free delivery will be
placed on contract basis.
1t costs the government $2S, QUO, 900
year to run the rural routes, paying
the carriers a maximum compensation
of $720 year. The,average pay is 5000
per carrier, the rate being fixed by the
length of the routes.
The primers who are looking for
spots where the expenses of the gov
eminent may be decreased figure that
by letting out contracts for the rural
service the work can be done at cost
not to exceed two-thirds of what the
government is now paying. They do
not say that it will be as efficiently
done, but urge that the contracts can
be drawn so as to insure a satisfactory
service. The proposition will receive
much support in congress. Coldwater
Courier. We do not for one moment
believe the editor of the Courier would
endorse any such scheme. 1t would
discredit the splendid rural free delivery
service from the start and the service
would begin to- go backward at once
There is absolutely no more reason for
rural carrier positions to be '1etp-we
all remember about star route lettings
than there would be to displace the city
carriers and fill their positions in the
same manner, changing Of course once
in four years or oftener as there is
always some one to bid lower than the
price paid the incumbent 1t can be
counted on for a certainty that the
present representative from the eighth
district will never favor a scheme of
this kind to cheaper the rural service.

How II Was Worked.

Here is the way reciprocity works
with Cuba: Of Cuba's exports the
United States took S4> per cent.
while Cuba only took about 40
per cent. of her imports from the United
States. This country has made a ma
ton of Cuba, but when it comes to buy
ing goods she goes to the bargain coun-
tiers of Europe for her goods. This reel :
procity scheme has forced other coun-
tries, like Germany, for instance. to get
sour and go elsewhere for their goods.
But Cuba gets 90 per cent less tariff
on her goods than other nations, but
she does not reciprocate worth cent to

The recent decision by Judge VANITY,

through which the effort of the rail
roads of Michigan to have the state re-
strained from collecting railroad taxes

reaching Importance to the people of
Michigan. 1t not only makes necessary
an immediate payment of more than
four million dollars into the state treas

annual increase in state revenues from
the same source of more than. two mil

several important questions in connec-
ton with the power of the state touch

will be of interest and value to most of

STEWART BANK STATEMENT.
General Review of Condition Pleases
Creditors.

After several weeks of very trying and
almost constant work statement of
the condition of the M. L. Stewart &
Co. bank affairs at the close of business
on April 10 has been made by Charles
ID. Stewart and others and is given in
full below, and undoubtedly covers in a
general way every item of assets and
liabilities and is decidedly more salts
factory than a large number of people
expected aud in fact has inspired con-
fidence that the matter is being sys-
tematically and carefully handled.
The statement is SO complete that every
person who reads it carefully can form
some opinion as to the cause of the
failure, the amount that should be
realized and as to the way the closing
up of the business can best be conduct
ed.
The statement below is general and
will be followed later by a completed
schedule which will include review
OF expenditures from Jan. 1, 1892 up
to April 10, 1905, and includes items
that in state or national banks would
be profit and loss items.
The estimates as to the amount that
creditors will receive vary, but those
who have gone most carefully over the
statement and know more or less of
financial matters, claim that it will be
somewhere between So and so per cent,
but nearer the latter figure. The state
ment is as follows:
"The preparation of my sch dulles has been
q longer task than any Of us expected, and
while they are now about ready and will be
