pointments were made yesterday.
A few of the appointments were
necessitated by the raising of fourth
class offices to the presidential
grade A majority of the nomina-
tions, however, were reappointments

them were overdue owing to the
fact that the Postoffice Department

Of sending them to the Senate in
small patches from time to time.
Fourth-class offices which were ad-
vanced to the presidential grade are
as follows;

Under a new system adopted by
the Postoffice Department, post Of
fee appointments are now being
made semi-annually instead of the
commissions being issued as quickly
as the old commissions expire. Jan
uary and July are the dates fer
appointments, and except where va
cancies are caused by death, remov-
al, or resignation, the nominations
will be sent to the State on these
dates hereafter.
The whole postoffice system is
now under the civil service and post
masters who perform their work
satisfactorily and satisfy the pat
rons of the offices as we'll as the
post office department will genera
+, ly be reappointed, though they are
still subject to confirmation By the
