To the President.
Sir,-I have been informed that
the pay of several clerks in the
Postoffice Department, was on
March 16, inst, reduced solely in
order to cut down expenses,
though, lin justice, the salaries of
all clerks receiving under $4,000
should have been increased on ac-
count of the increased cost of
living.
, 1 have lately retired from
clerkship in that department, and
feel a deep interest in the well
fare OF all who are employed
there: and so. Mr.. President, 1
beg leave to say, that II you
would only cause an investigation
to be made of the matter, you
will readily see the reasonable
ness and, indeed, the urgent neces-
sity. of resembling the order re-
ducing the paw of these clerks.
and moreover, the imperative need
of increasing their pay proper
tionately to the increase made
by Congress in the salaries Of

am sending you herewith copy of
letter 1 have addressed to President

some reasons for the increase of pay of
the Government clerks similar to those
The Times has advanced, and also my
opinion concerning the latest develop

department clerks.
1 trust that you will find it consistent
to publish this letter, as believe 1t de-
clares the belief of a large number OF
your readers who are in the service Of
the Government. Very respectfully.

was a model penal institution, and it
was a decided shock to be informed that
it was not properly conducted. The
chairman of the Board of Commission

charges thoroughly, and the man who
made them now admits they were filed

Union Pacific engineers begin laying the
double track ordered for the line between
Julesburg and Pine Bluffs, Colo, either
the last week In March or the first in
April The grading will begin soon
as it is possible to move the earth, the
workmen starting at Julesburg, when the
frost breaks.
Surveyors Of the railroads are now out on
the line driving stakes for grading levels
and measuring for fills and cuts. Care
has TO be taken I'm building the new track
that the work will not delay traffic on the
older part OF the line, and In making en-
bankments there is a double danger that
the new weight may set the line first
placed on the bank on different level.
Al the present time the Hartman system
has hundreds OF laborers and teams work
ing on the new high line between Salt
Lake City and Los Angeles. This line viii
be completed within two or three weeks,
and it is probable that practically the en-

As to the Payment CT Rewards.

Governor Kitchin declines to pay
the reward offered by the State to
the sheriff who captured the negro
West on the ground that it is an Of
ficer's duty to make such arrests
any way. Governor Aycock made
the same ruling. The idea is that
if an officer can get rewards in such
cases he will remain quiet and not
make arrests until a reward is offer
ed. Perhaps this is good law, but
one thing is sure-the negro who
reported the presence Of West in a
restaurant in Maxton should be paid
a portion of the reward. Had he
simply kept his mouth closed West
would not have been captured
