a needed Reform.

In his annual report Postmaster
General CorteIyou calls attention
the fact that doring the last year
IL mail clerks were killed while on
duty, 125 were seriously injured
and 1856 slightly injured. The mail
clerks are engaged in hazardous
duty aud it seems high time that
the government take steps looking
towards their better protection. 1t
is a notorious fact that although
the government pays a rental for
mail cars that annually exceeds the
first cost of these oars. the oars pro-
vided by the railroads are the him-
siest of all cars used. a majority
of the collisions on railroads are
what is called "head-on collisions"
and as the lightly built mail care
are always at the head of train
the natural result is that they are
usually the ones sustaining the
greatest damage. This will explain
in a measure why so many mail
clerks are killed and injured The
statistics. given above do not in
clude the four mail clerks recently
killed in Wyoming.
Men engaged in work 80 haz.
ardous as that of the mail clerks
are certainly entitled to more than
ordinary consideration. The least
that the government can do is to
insist that railroads furnish mail
oars solidly built, and equal to the
heavy steel passenger coaches and
Pullmans now in universal use.
No private patron would submit to
the extortion and poor service that
the railroads practice upon Uncle
Sam. And in addition to demand
ing better oars the government
should provide some system where
by the the dependent relatives OF
mail clerks who are killed while
on duty may be provided for. The
men engaged in the railway mail
service are the most lily paid ser
wants of the government when the
exaoting and dangerous nature OF
their work is taken into considera-
tion.-Bryan's Commoner.

He is in his element when he faces
those who have intelligence to
catch the subtitle humor of his
stories and the dignified pathos of
his more serious efforts. That is
why he made 30 distinct hit last
evening, why he kept the theater
noisy with applause. and why all
who heard him left the Grand after
an unusually pleasant evening.

Bingham Appears Tomorrow Night.
Mr.. Ralph Bingham. the we'll
known lecturer, humorist. imper
senator and racontuer, will appear
at Hooff's Opera House tomorrow
night. Thursday. Jan 18th. under
the auspices of The Four O'clock
Club. Mr.. Bingham is much too
we'll known to need any introdnc-
tion to Point Pleasant, or even any
words of comment as to his powers
as an entertainer. He enjoys the
reputation of being the best and
and the biggest one man company
on the road and crowded houses
have ever attested to his popularity
every place he has ever been.
AS a violinist, he is a musician
of rare and exceptional merit, but
it lie probably as funmaker and a
specialist for the cure of the blues
that he has made his greatest repu-
tation and his largest number of
friends. Mr.. Bingham not only
knows how to tell story. but he
is the originator of many of his
best anecdotes. A native Virgin.
ian. he is never more at home than
when rambling down the lane of
negro dialect, and with single
turn of his coat cellar he is able to
furnish all the stage settings and
costumes needed for the portrayal
of the many parts he plays. The
Opera House should be crowded,
never again probably, will our peo-
pie have chance to be entertained
by gentlemen with such a wide
reputation as Mr.. Bingham.
