HOOD'S PILLS are purely vegetable, per-

President and Ex-Presldent.
Senator Stanford has some new ideas
on the old question of what to do with
ex-presidents. There has been no very
good opportunity of late to settle this
question experimentally, the stock of
ex~p1~esidents on hand haVing been at
no time inconveniently large. Mr.
Harrison’s case will bring 11p the sub-
ect in a practical form and already
. there are many suggestions as to his
future. He has been recommended to
practice law at Indianapolis, to edit a
paper at New York, to become a judge,
to lecture, to go into railroading, in-
surance or some other corparate enter-
prise. Mr. Stanford wants to make
him professor of law in the Leland
Stanford University. This would be a
very nice thing for Mr. Harrison, as
Stanford pays good salaries and there
are not enough students in his univer-
sity to make the duties of the profes-
sors very exacting. At the same time
it would be a fine advertisement for the
young institution to have an err-Presi-
dent in its faculty, and as advertising
in one form or another is the life of a
modern college there could be no ques—
tion of his earning the salary. Be-
s1des, there is no telling how much his
political health might revive in the
glorious climate of California.
President Harrison will join in the in-
auguration ceremonies and lemain at
the White House with Mrs. McKee to
receive Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland. Im-
mediately after the inauguration cere-
monies; accompanied by Mr. and Mrs,
McKee and their family, he will go di-
rect from the’White House to the rail-
way station, and will leave Washington
for Indianapolis by an early afternoon
train. They will break the journey at
Pittsburg, where they will stop over
night and spend Sunday with friends.
On Monday ' morning they will start
for Indianapolis, where they will ar-
rive that evening. Mrs».- McKee will
open up her father’s Indianapolis home

the market place. They have no func-
tion in a deal. , They are reminders of
our nobler selves, the symbol and the
promise of divinity.
Thus doth the millennium steal upon
us unawares. The outgoing adminis-
tration pays tribute to the merits of
its conqueror. The incoming Chieftain
gallops here and there in search of
daintiest recognition of -the virtues
that have fallen to his bow and spear.
Mr. Harrison appoints Jackson to show
how greatly he esteems Democracy
and Mr. Cleveland takes Gresham to
his sumptuous breast and fills him with
the milk of human kindness which
flows for all alike. In this warm sun
of love and brotherhood shall party
lines survive? Shall we not, on the
contrary, soon melt together into one
homogeneous and rich liquor of un-
selfishness? Shall not caucuses and
leaders pass, shall not contention cease,
shall not the clash of purposes and
conviction die away into the sweet
murmur of mating doves, and in all
the world no thought remain but that
of covering our enemies with affection ?

Reform in the Railway Mail Service.
Hon. Frank Hatton, ex-Postmaster
General and now the able editor of the
\Vashington Post has the following wise
and sensible observations anent our
overworked and overcrowded mail rail-
way service:
"The present Congress has it in its
power to materially improve one of
the most important branches Of the
Post-office Department, by a reclassi-
fication of the Railway Mail Service.
Since the last classification of that ser-
vice by the legislation of 1882 the
country has advanced so rapidly in
wealth and prosperity that the service
has more than doubled in volume. The
constant demand for new lines and in-
creased efl‘iciency on old ones has taxed
the department to its utmost. In its
efforts to meet and accommodate this
ever increasing business it has been
treated by Congress with a niggardli-
ness of appropriations that it is hard to
account for.
The department has resorted to evciy
expedient, even to the reduction of the
clerks’ salaries, to keep within the ap-
propriation, and what is more to the
discredit of Congress, these salaries
have never been restored. Here is
presented the spectacle of a great na-
tion going down into the pockets Of its
employees and actually robbing them
of thousands of dollars annually in or-
der that Congress may make a show of
economy. Q
But the injustice ‘does not end here.
While straining every nerve to keep
abreast of the ever increasing volume
Of business, this same idea of economy
at any cost prevented the department
increasing the working force at the
same ratio. So that while the mail
handled in the postal cars has more
than doubled in the last ten years, the
the working force has increased less
than 80 per cent. As a consequence
the clerk of to-day must do more work
than formerly and receive less compen-
sation for it. In addition, his work is
more complicated. He must have an
exact knowledge, requiring years to
master, of the location of all post-
oflices in from one to a dozen States,
and know the time of arrival of trains
. at all junction points within that terri-
tory; while their hours Of labor on
any heavy railway post-office will aver-
age nearly 10 for 365 days of the year,
as compared to 7 in departmental work
for about 240 days of the year.”
An idea of the enormous business
conducted through the mail may be
gathered from an item that appeared
in the Post a few days ago regarding
the burning of a small amount of rail-
way mail at New Brunswick, N. J.
The item stated that all the mail,
”amounting to less than half a ton, was
. :udestloyed.
