HELP THE CARRIERS.

+ VERYBODY likes the etter-carrier He is recognized
H generally as Federal employe who does faithful
intelligent and arduous public service for wholly made
Quate pay but who does IT, just the same Therefore
we take pleasure in calling to the attention Of our
readers a letter in the Peoples Column from L. A.
Bowers of this city who suggests that the people
give to the letter carriers this year welcome
Christmas gifts than letter-drops in the on
the porches the houses in the residential sections
We do not profess to know how such present If it
may be called that would appeal to the carriers but
we know that If every door were equipped with a let
ter drop il would make the work Of the carriers much
easier and expedite the delivery of the mails We think
however that IL would be well for householders not
only to provide the letter drops but also give
thing portable to the carriers Christmas time
The practice OF giving material manifestation Of ap-
probation of good work done by the carriers should
be abandoned in favor of letter drops. Rather the
householder should decide give the regulation pres
ent and the letter drop besides. Such drop will
little and it will mean much to the carrier

CHRISTMAS PRESENT
SUGGESTION

To the Editor Of THE EVENING
JURNAL.
Sir In going about our good city,
| notice that comparatively few of our
people have provided a place at their
homes where the letter carriers can
deposit their mail Country people
are required to provide a letter box
for the r. f. d. messenger to put
their mail, and as a rule they cheer
fully comply.
/ notice, too, that our letter carriers
frequently have heavy loads to carry,
and that they are often required to
wait a considerable length of time for
doors to be opened, for delivery Of
mail, and all the while the burden
pressing hard upon them, whereas, if
a suitable place were provided, they
would drop the mail, ring the bell.
and proceed at once to make further
deliveries, thus not only saving a
great deal of time and labor for the
carriers, but greatly facilitating the
distribution of the balance of the
load, to the various citizens.
| have spoken TO a few of our
townspeople about this matter, and
they agree, but some have added
I'VE do not like to spoil the front
door. will hardly be noticed at all /;
only suitable place for such a letter
drop is in the center panel OF the
door, and which certainly does mar
the appearance. but an opening in
the bottom panel will do just as we'll,
and if fitted with neat little shutter,
which can be had at any hardware
store for a triile, to keep out the dust
and cold, and cOlored to match the

General A. r, Benson, Of Dover treasurer Of the
Republican State Committee should not permit the
so-called Black Hand demand made upon him TO spoil
his Christmas pleasure He is perfectly right in en-
deavorng TO run down the man who wrote the letter
and made the demand for money The of The
letter mpels to think however that If the writer
be arrested he will plead that the entire transaction
was political joke. Should he do that, General Benson
might with good grace, the joke upon him by in
sistng that he eat his Christmas dinner in prison At
the worst it will be discovered that the writer Of the
letter is flake" Black Handler II is the practice

rHE FEDERAL JupeEsHIP IN lg0l
From The Wilmington Every Eyenin
(Dem.)

From the Wilmington Every Evening
(Dem)
In connection with the matter of
the appointment of a Federal Judge
for Delaware, in 1897. it is interest
ing to recall that the real facts of the
situation show how easy IL was TO
conceal the underhand Democratic
opposition against the confirmation Of
Mr. Wolcotts appointment that is
now charged. They We're such as
TO aid in the secrecy of such tactics.
There was a feeling of dread in
Delaware. at that time, that II the ap-
pointment should bq thrown over to
the Mckinley administration, an Adj
dicks Republican might be named. At
the 1896 election the Addicks Republic
cans pOlled more votes than the
Regular Republicans. and by virtue
of this numerical superiority claim
ed recognition by the incoming Re
publican national administration. This
seemed to point to an Addicks Re-
publican Federal judge.
1t was for this reason that some
Delaware Democrats urged the with
drawal of Mr.. Wolcotts name and the
appointment of Judge George Gray,
then United States Senator. Senatorial
courtesy would have secured the inn
mediate confirmation Of his appoint
ment President Cleveland also
recognized the seriousness of the
situation, and twice offered the APP
pointment to Senator Gray the Sec
ond time on March L. 1897, but Judge
Gray could not see his way clear TO
acceptance
Fortunately the good sense of
President Mckinley saved Delaware
from the appointment of a typical
Addcks Republican as Judge of the
United States District Court. He
saw the situation and named Judge

c,PLENDID work has been and stll is being done by
- the American Embassy Association in urging
upon Congress the prime Importance Of making ade-
quate appropriations for the acquisition of embassy,
legation and consular buildings in countries to which
send diplomatic representatives. The Lowden act
passed result Of the intelligent and tireless
work Of the association. It also is supporting
nestly a bill introduced by Congressman suzer Of
New York appropriating 100000 to carry out the

For many decades the failure Of rich and powerful
nation like the United States provide suitable em-
bassy legation and consular buildings for the use OF
its diplomatic representatives abroad has been the sub
ject of international and unfayorabe comment Many
nations much poorer and less important have housed
their dipomatss suitably in official buildings, but the
United States has pursued policy OF renting quarters,
thereby detractng from the dignity and efficiency OF
the diplomatic branch of public service Not only
has that service suffered but the commerce of our ma
tom has suffered with IT, II not until a few pub

import applicable to other capitals and great CONNER

twenty-five years We should have suitable embassy,
