 Premier Lloyd George followed with the pronouncement of the government and, after stating that any part of Ireland that wanted home rule could have it, suggested two alternatives for the settlement of the differences be- tween the Irish factions. One was a conference of Irishmen, and the other was the setting up of a commission of inquiry to report to the government and Parliament

 T am telling you what is going to happen" he replied
 The Postmaster General is reported to have told them that it was too late to protest as the order had been determined upon and would be carried out. He intimated that he was not the author of it. but that 1t was measure of efficiency and economy.
 Another member suggested that the order would put many republicans in office, as many of the more active as- sistant postmasters are republicans re-. tained by the democratic postmasters and still another wanted to know what would happen if the one man certified from the examination were a negro The Postmaster General according to those present, replied that the exam nations would have to take place and there would be mo special privilege to anyone
 WESTERN INQUIRY
 western democrat asked why the order, if issued at all, should not pro- vide for certifying the three highest in the examination as eligible to post masterships as was done when the fourth-class postmasters were blan- keted into civil service. instead of con lining the choice to the one person who happened to stand highest. The Postmaster General said that Congress had had the opportunity of legislating to that effect, but did not do so
 In the discontent voiced by the con ference some of them complained that the order would take out of political life some of the most active support CTS of the representatives in Congress
 A majority of the republicans joined with democrats recently in rejecting a proposition for putting all postmasters under the civil service. when an amendment to that effect was offered to an appropriation bill in the House. although Republican Leader Mann and few others favored it.

CLARIFYING MILK.
