CHICAGO LIVE STOCK.

Chicago, H. Oct. 1S.-CATTLE--
The liberal supplies and the rather
inferior grade of offerings were two
factors which jointly operated to
create a dull and unsteady market to-
day. Butcher cattle was slow, gener-

THE LANCASTER pOSTOFFICE.

A correspondent, whose COM
munication appears elsewhere,
endorses the efforts of The News
70 secure for Lancaster better
postofice, depot and express ac-
commodations and facilities, but
in the matter OF the postoffice,
charges that the trouble is not
altogether attributable to the in.
adequateness Of the building
itself. In justice TO the post.
master we would state that he is
now doing everything in his pow
er to improve present unsatsfac-
tory conditions. We happen to
know that he made an urgent
appeal some weeks ago to the au-
,horities in Washington for an
additional allowance for clerk
service.
The business of the Lancaster
Office has grown 10 such immense
proportions that it is a physical
impOssibility for two men, the
postmaster and one assistant, to
aandle it with anything like ex.
pedition. The office needs at least
one more assistant, and needs
MIN badly. Knowing the post
master as well as we do, we are
confident that il The department
does not soon come to his relief.
bv making provision for a second
assistant, he will employ and pay
out OF his own salary the addi
tionaI help tha- he needs. We.
have had no ul'ation with
the postmaster and therefore
make this statement on our own
responsibility.

one Of the "demands" of the
Farmers Alliance, and it has
been plank in more than one

President Roosevelt, who has
given the subject much thought

There is no desire on the part
of the people to be unjust to the

Tillman's Opinion as to Pas

The report that the railroad
rate bill will not pass the Senate
having reached the ears of Sena-
tor TIllman, who has the meas
ure in charge, the senior Senator
from South Carolina has taken
occasion to reassure the people
on the subject. The Washing

as saying:
81 am told that there is all
impression among a majority OF
the people through the country
said Senator Tillman to your
correspondent today, "that the
Senate will not pass any rarl.
road rate Legislation at this ses
sion. Consequently there Is
great gnashiug OF teeth and harsh
threats against the Senate. | do
not know who has worked up
such an impression through the
country, but it looks much to
me as il there was a master
hand back Of it.
Il wish to predict, though
that there will be a pleasant

arrived at the conclusion thai
the Senate is rot in sympathy

the Senate who frankly admit
that they do not want to see

are in the minority. We will
have rate Legislation, and it will
be as effective as the best minds
Of the Senate can make it. A
bill will be passed that can not
fail, if it goes through the
Senate, to receive the signature
of the President. The Demo
Gratis Of the Sena'e are unani
