WHYTE ON RESERVED RIGHTS
Secretary Roots Plea for Central
izatiOn Ably Antagonized.
The Venerable MHTyInnd Senator
Vfndicates the Ancient Political
Tenets of the Democrats.

The Senate paid especial honor ycster-
day to Senator William Pinkney Whyte
in sitting 10 hear him discuss the subject
OF State rights when il preferred an
adjournment. The Senator based his ar
gument upon the recent New York speech
Of Secretary Of State Root. which his
critics have characterized as an advo-
cacy Of Capitalization.
Mr. Whyte said the Secretary had
given utterances TO sentiments so plainly
ar wax with the provisions of the Con-
stitution in regard 10 the powers of the
general government and the ress ed
rights Of the States that he felt It
necessary, as the representative Of one Of
the original thirteen States, TO call the
attention Of the country to the dangerous
tendency OF such views.
Continuing. he said. 'In reading that
address. one would suppose that the cen

POsT-OFFICE OPEN SUNDAY.
Postmaster General COrteIyOu Ex-
plains Service Done on sabbath.

Postmaster General CoTtelyou sent to
the Senate yesterday, in response TO The
resolution asking him by what authority
p0st-offices throughout the country were
obliged to be kept open. a letter stating
that the offices were not compelled TO be
kept open.
The matter is left to the judgment of
the postmaster generally. The money or
der and registry offices are never kept
open on Sunday unless the postmasters
think that these conveniences should be
afforded any part of the public on that
day.
Mr.. COrtelyOu calls attention to the fact
that Sunday produces as much. if not
more. postal business than almost any
other day in the week, and therefore mails
must be collected and mails received and
distributed. and a great variety of work
done that is absolutely unavoidable.
The Sunday service. he says, is done
without the employment of any additional
clerks beyond those required to be present
in the Offices to deliver Sunday mail.
