house which is intended to bring the entire Mexican queso
up for discussion.
Whatever the gentleman has say upon this subject wi

Although de facto government in Mexico has
been recognized Senator Borah says he opposed to
any such thing and will vote against the confirmation
OF Henry T. Fletcher ambassador because Carranza
should not be recognized until assured of the
permanency OF his government and ambassador
should be sent to Mexico until that country has paid
all claims presented by Americans.

made to prevail it is possible that Mr. Borah would
have fufledged Mexican issue at his disposal next
summer, but there difficulties in the way Car

Where does choerc friend down the street, who hears

howl about the present postmaster who it appears has
not been conducting that branch of the to

1t is matter Of common knowledge that worthy
temporary with the exaggerated bump has held
heated argument with himself in regard to his ability to
duct the postal affairs of the nation great deal satsfac
that Bureson other and this respect he has
been alone and in perfect harmony with himself In fact it IS
generally understood that gentleman feels confident of his
ability to fill office from village constable to the highest
gift of the nation with signal brancy but with all these
labor he has been unable to convince the great of the
people of his real Importance and this the hercuean task
der which he is struggling and the affairs Of the nation
one might imagine
Several years before going out of office Frank Hitchcock
the postmaster general under Tas administration issued
order disseminating the of first class mail That
the date of arrival of letters at the office Of distribution
not stamped the side had been the custom This
order made after due consultation with the business
of the country and the public general The opinion held by
great majority favor of such order Whether the
Globe consulted at that time by the G. O. p head of
the department not known but doubt should have
That matter he should take up with Mr. Hitchcock and
unload his spleen the present postmaster general who
doubt of the action taken by his predecessor But
then the Globes version of the order about the facts
as it usually gets
The trouble with the Globe and the postal department is
caused by the approaching national election and the public
need look for nothing but abuse and unarness which will

could hope from Mr.. Borah's vociferation at home
The presumption therefore is that by the time the
convention meets in June there will be Mexican is
