euns of the Nioht

During the day we say that the sun

say that the suns shine" writes a
Boston correspondent of the New York
Times During the day one sun
reigns over us; during the night many
suns sparkle and scintillate upon US.
The only difference is that our sun of
day is so much nearer than our suns
of night, but there is one sun of night
that during our winter far outshines
the other sparkling sky gems. That
sun is Sirius. whose distance has been
estimated Mt 5000o.O00.oo0 miles,
whose size has been conjectured to be
as vast as that of 1000 suns like our
own"

clerks are to be presented in congress
and their cause will be taken up by
senators and representatives eager to
take a fall out of the administration.
Probably it will be well enough for
congress to investigate the railway
mail situation if the investigation is
undertaken with the honest purpose of
getting at the facts. There are two
possible explanations of the present
situation. One is that the chief of the
railway mail bureau, in his effort at
economy, has pursued a wrong course,
and has really crippled the service by
his small reduction in the number of
clerks. The other is that the clerks
d~isgruntled by the retirement of a few
of their number and the new regula-
tions in the interest of economy, are
''sojering on their jobs" with the view
of restoring the old easier situation. 1t
should be possible by investigation of
facts, to ascertain which is the real
explanation. Whatever is at fault
should be corrected, for the prompt
delivery of mail is a matter of vital
Importance, commercially and other
wise.
AS a class the railway mail clerks
deserve good treatment from Uncle
Sam. 1t is doubtful if any employee
in the government service merit better
treatment. The employment is extra
hazardous to begin with. While the
clerks are at work they must work
under pressure. The work requires a
high degree of intelligence and skill.
In the main it has been performed with
extraordinary efficiency. The railway
mail clerks deserve good pay. They
deserve good accommodations, as safe
as may be while on the road. They
should not be- worked in a way that
will save dollars while ~subjecting their
PHYSICAL and mental resources to undue
strain. Practically everybody viii
agree to this. On the other hand, Il
there has been loose administration OF
their division, with the result, as the
bureau chief says, of providing fol
more employees than are actually neces
sary to do the work, there should b.
no valid objection to taking up the los
motion Sioux City Journal.

The Railway Mail clerks

The loud protest against overwork on
the part of the railway mail clerk
offers a sample of what might De
expected from all classes OF railway
employees if the railways were to
endeavor to give effect to the Brandeis
policy Of economizing.
Postmaster General Hitchcock is
making an effort TO apply the principle
of economy and efficiency 10 all branches
of the postal service. In one way or
another he has effected d saving of
many millions in the annual expendi-
lures of his department. The other day
he saved a round $50, 900 in letting a
Irvine contract for the present year and
was heartily ]applauded by everybody
except the Irvine manufacturers. That
sort of economy is very popular, but
the sort of economy that calls for fewer
jobs or more work on the part of the
job holders, is never likely to prove
popular with the men who are holding
the jobs. The postmaster general called
upon the chief of the railway mail divi-
sion to do what he could in the interest
of economy. As a result of the chiefs
efforts the number of clerks in his
division was cut down by 338 in a total
enrolment of 10, 1876. That is to say at
the close of last year 16,457 clerks
were being asked to do the work per-
formed by 16, 795 clerks at the opening
of the year. In fact the smaller num-
Der of clerks probably was expected to
do more work, for the volume of mat
ter handled is increasing every year.
Now from all directions the clerks
are complaining that they cannot do
the work expected of them. They say
that if efficiency is to be maintained
the number of clerks must be added to
instead of distracted from. 1t is of
record that there was a good deal of
mail congestion during the Christmas
rush. The clerks said it was impos-
sible to handle the matter with the
number of clerks on duty. From South
Dakota at this time there are reports
that railway mail clerks are letting
mail pouches ride to and fro unworked
because of lack of time to distribute
their contents. The protests of the

Readjustment in Wheat Prices.

Readjustment i'm Wheat Prices.
The advance scored in the wheat mar
ket since the first of the year is in the
nature of a readjustment from the
extreme depression brought about by
free marketing and the natural turn
from excessive supplies to diminishing
stocks at the terminal centers.
Speculation has, to some extent,
endeavored to anticipate this develop
ment and the result has been a rather
sharp appreciation at the expense of a
belated short interest. Whether this
has been too rapid or not will depend
upon the attitude of the commercial
trade. Domestic prices have remained
above the export level and are still too
high so that the consumptive power
rests on the ability of home needs to
tighten the present suplus.
The stronger cash markets indicate
that requirements are more urgent and
decreasing stocks imply that reserves
are being drawn upon. Statistics, how
ever, disclose a large volume of wheat
available for foodstuffs and the advance
has tended to enlarge the offerings held
by the farmers in the country. This
means the producer is satisfied, for the
time being, with the price. In the
Northwest where millers were willing
TO pay a premium to bring it in, and
where old crop supplies must be
depended upon until next August, the
sales have been heavy.
