Minority Report.

The rather caustic minority report criti-
cising this feature of the bill was signed
by Representatives STEVENSON of Mime
sofa and Madden of Illinois, and contains
the following.
TT Is proposed by the majority to in
clude this vicious rider in this bill by
a special rule for that purpose. The
policy of inserting riders in bills is q
vicious one, and resort to it can only
be excused by Il great public emergency.
The great democratic party when In the
minority uniformly declared against II,
but no sooner are they In power than
they resort to il at every opportunity.
The proposal is so entirely wrong that
il could not possibly receive approval OF
Congress coming as a separate measure,
and it is proposed in this way to force 1t
upon Congress and the executive
There are more than ZOO assistant
postmasters practically all of whom have
been admitted to the classified service by
actual civil service examination. II is
proposed to take these tried and faithful
public servants out of the classified list
and make their tenure of Office depend
ent upon the whim of postmasters ap-
pointed under the spoils system as re-
ward for party service.
Dismissal Without Cause.
In most cases this would be equivalent
TO dismss;,! from Office without cause,
but the injustice of the proposal as at
fectns these men is not the chief objec-
ton to it 1t is Il backward step and
injurious in the effect not only on the
postal SERVICE but the cause of good gov
eminent. 1t is another step i'll the dl-
rection of the Spoils system.
The bill carries SSo5,224I, 49,. Last year,
before the parcels post system was in
augurated, the bill carried S2S3. 444, Ill.
The much-talked-of plan for government
ownership of teleg. aph and telephone
