THE WESTERN MAIL SERVICE
Snpcrintcnflont White's ' Views on Hoi

Clilcl Clerk Btncy ( o ho Hctalnod ti
His Present Position.
On Saturday morning last , Mr. Jamo
E. White , superintendent of the ftixtl
division of the United States railwa ;
mail service , arrived in Omaha. Thi
gentleman is a veteran in the mai
Borvico , having served in rarious capaci
ties in it continuously since 1800. Th
division over which lie has charge is com
posed of Illinois , Wisconsin , Iowa , Min
ncsota , the upper peninsula of Michigan
Nebraska , Dakota , Wyoming , and part ;
of Colorado , Utah , Idaho and Montana
and lias employed in it 8GO postal clerks
who travel over 28,000 , miles of railroad
Mr. White was at one time a resident o
Omaha , and filled the oflico of chio
clerk , from which place ho was transferred
forrod to the position which ho now hoi
in Chicago.
It 1ms boon reported several timci
through the columns of a newspaper o
this city that a change is about to hi
made in the oflico of chief mail clerk , anc
that n Nebraska man is to bo appointee
to the place now filled by Mr. 0. E
Stacoy. A BEK reporter wont to the ho
tel whore Mr. White was stopping , tosoi
the gentleman and learn from him the
facts in regard to this statement , and tin
condition of the mail service in tin :
division. This gentleman was found
and ready and willing to give the desiree
information.
"What is the condition of the railway
mail aorvico in your division ? " was askoc
of Mr. White.
"Good. It is improving constantly
notwithstanding the fact that the nmili
are increasing faster than the facilities
for distributing them. During the lasl
fiscal year this division of the ser
vice distributed 800,000,000 pieces
of mail matter , and made one
error in distribution for cacl :
4,150 pieces distributed. Wo regard
this as an exceedingly fine showing and
; ho improvement made is shown by com-
wring it with the record made in 1872 ,
; ho year in which the present system of
chocking errors was first instituted. Wo
then made one in each 7CO pieces of
tnail distributed. Since , the distribu-
lion has become vastly complicated , but
our mon have grown with it and hence
ire able to perform moro and hotter
service than could have been possible
lad this not boon the case. "
* 'Aro the mails increasing as fast now
is in the past ? "
"Yos. In looking over the records
ho other day I found that in this divia-
en wo had distributed during the first
x months of the present fiscal year ,
33,000,000 more pieces of mail matter
, han wo did during the same six months
ast year. "
"How docs the service in Nebraska
md the west compare with that in ether
icotiona of your division ? "
'For the past four or five months it
lajboon improving rapidly. The tone
) f the Borvico is bettor , the mails are
jeing distributed moro promptly and
horoughly , bettor service is given to
ho public and bettor discipline is main
lined in the corps of clerks employed. "
"How do yon account for the change1 ?
"TJio service is under charge of a
hiof clerk who understands his duties
nd then discharges thorn fully and ofllc-
Diitly. Ho is a strict disciplinarian , firm
i the enforcement of orders and instruc-
ions , and at the same time just to those
indor him. His experience has taught
lim that the first duty of a postal clerk ,
iko that of a soldier , is to obey orders ,
lo knows what can and should bo done
o make thonorvico ofllciont , and has the
nclination and executive ability to BOO
hat whatever will benefit the mail sor-
orvico under his jurisdiction is put in
orco at onco. Ho is recognized as an
iblo olllcor by his superiors and will bo
mstainod by those who placed him here. "
"Do you know that an effort is being
nado to have Mr. Stacy taken away from
Dmaha and a Nebraska man appointed to
; ho chief clerkship here ? "
1 have hoard of such a movement , but
lupposed that whatever had boon done in
.hat direction had boon done under the
mprossion that ho was to bo assigned to
jgmo other Hold. A rumor of that kind
ina boon in circulation , but has no found-
ition , and had those mon , who have boon
nstrumontal in the ofl'ortyou mentioned ,
vas sent hero to stay I do not think
< hcy would hayo taken the action they
lave.
An impression exists that the position
ihould have been given to a Nebraska
nan , I have understood such a tooling
ixiatcd , but there is no good ground for
t The district assigned to the chief
dork at Omaha is not limited to Nebras
ka , but includes Wyoming , parts of Col-
arado , Utah and Idaho , and the most Im
portant line under his charge is , like the
service , u national institution. Besides
this , it has boon customary since the or-
jauuntion of this service , to assign ofii-
: ors to duty wherever it was believed
they would do the most good. Fifteen
years ago I was sent from lowu and after
Doeowiiip a citizen of Nebraska and ox-
orcUing rights as ouch , was transferred
-o Illinois. Mr. Vandorvoort was uont
lioro from Illinois ; General Superintend
ent Thompion vros sent from Michigan
to Ohio ; Chief Clerk Alexander was
sent from Indiana to Pennsylvania. I
could go on and give many ether illus
trations of this kind , showing that the
aorvico is not local in ita nature , aud that
the department has always disregarded
ntato lines in the selection of ita otllcors ,
considering only what would bo best for
the service and the public. This policy
mint necessarily bo continued , and under
It Nebraska wjll have an an equal clianco
with every other state. "
"Thon Mr , Staoy will remain hero'/ / "
\oa , So long as ho gives eatiafaetion
to tbo department , discharges his duties
elliciontly and deoirps to remain hero ,
bo will stay. I have rocei rod numerous
assurances from businois mon in all BOO-
tionc of thin district and from postmasters
thatn great change for the bettor hae
taken piaco ainco ho came here , and oak-
ing that ho bo held. This being the case
there is no reason why ho should be
changed , and ho will thorctoro bo BUS.

For months past there has not been i

spirit of calmness settled down upor
the social world.
The pleasures of the week began or
Monday evening , when the much
talkod-of

was given in Crounso's hall. Wo have
often been told , when expecting to derive -
rive great pleasure from some event tc
bo colobratcd in the future , that the
pleasure of anticipatim ia much greatoi
than that of realization. That may be
very true in some instances , but although
many of thoao who attended this ball
had boon for Boveral weeks , anticipating
much pleasure from it , wo think not one
was disappointed in the least. Every do.
tail had boon BO precisely arranged and
was BO carefully looked after by the
various committees who had charge of
the aflair that not ono could find
a fault with any part oi
the entertainment. The hall
was tastefully decorated , the supper wat

ioy himself but to make the evening pass
ilcasantly to all the rest. The conso-
luonco was that all wont homo thorough-

of North Omaha proportyownors present

Balcombo , Councilmen Lccdor , Andersen -
son , and Baker , Jninoa Kyncr and Eric
Peterson. Mr. Balcombo was appointee
chairman , and Sir. Brunnor secretary.
The question which Booms to bo of vita
importance to that portion of this city is
North Omaha sewer , the discussion ol
which occupied a great portion of the
evening. A resolution favoring the prop
osition to vote $70,000 sewer bonds to
continue the storm water sowora , pro-
vidcd the city council will give $30,000
for the north branch of North Omaha
sewer , $15,000 to extend its west branch
west past the military bridge , and the
balance to bo applied on Jones street
sewer , was adopted.
The opening of Nicholas street to
Saundora was then discussed. A resolu
tion instructing the councilmen from the
Fifth and Sixth wards to advocate the
appointment of commissioner * to assess
the dnmago to real estate necessary to extend -
tend Nicholas street to Saunders was
adopted.
A committee of throe was appointed to
interview the various members of the

EAILWAT AFFAIES ,
An KIVoi-l to bo Matlo This "Week to
Settle tlio Utah Complications ,
The issue hetwoon the Union Pacific
and its eastern allies , regarding the res
toration of Utah rates will bo settled this
week , a mooting for that purpose having
joen called by Commissioner Vining , to
bo hold to-day at the Grand Pacific hotel ,
Chicago. The eastern allies , while they
still maintain that the rate-making
lower in the case at issue is vested in
; horn , begin to rctili/o that they have not
aken the proper course , even though
; heir position as to rato-mnking may bo
enable. It is generally conceded that
; ho commissioner was at f ult in
not ordering rates restored pending a
ilocision of the question at issue ; and
now nnothor clause in the agreement ,
which had apparently been overlooked ,
ims plncod the Hook Island , St. Paul ,
Northwestern , and Wnbash in a peculiar
position. The compact provides that
"tho reduction of a rate ehall continue
only so long as shall bo nccessaay because
of competition. " The Burlington , the
sidy competitor of the Missouri river
lines for Utah business , restored rates
last Monday , and has boon quoting tariff
over since. The natural and logical con
clusion would bo , then , that the "necm-
i y because of competition" * for contin
uing the out had boon obviated. ThoU
U ucago Times , from which wo quote ,
t va that the attention of a freight oflicUl
r > t > i tripartite line was called to the above
claUBo m the agreement.
"By George ! is that in the agreement ? "
B4 > d ho.
Ho drew a copy of the document out of
n drawer , and after satisfying himself
that that language was actually used ho
was considerably nonplused. After ro-
looting a while , ho jerked out , " \Voll , it
is for us to decide when the necessity be
cause of competition for a cut is re
moved , and wo hold that the necessity
still remains. "
"But the Burlington , your only com
petitor , has restored rates ? "
"But that need not do away with the
necessity for a cut. '
"Do you admit , then , thnt you cannot
compote with the Burlington for Utah
business without a differential rate ! "
"I most emphatically don't. But this
; hing has more crooks and turns in it
: han anything I over had to deal with be-
'ore , and I'll bo mighty glad when the
natter is straightened out into something
like a sensible slmpo. "

amps were hung in the hilliard hall of
; hat IIOUEO. The proprietors were so well
pleased with the Sperry light that they
immediately ordered a ton-light machine
'or permanent use.
This machine arrived last -week , and
nras placed in the basement of the house.
Dn Saturday night the lamps were
, ighted by the now light. A largo num-
jor of persons visited the house during
: ho evening to see the now light , and all
without a moment's hesitation pro-
lounccd it the finest light shown in this
: ity. It is very bright , and at the same
; imo exceedingly steady.
Stock in the now electric light com
pany is on the rise now , and the direct-
) ra will push matters along so that the ;
nay have some lights in readiness in a
rory short time.

Frantz Fitiquo , a Bohemian , who lives
n South Omaha , is the victim of mis-
ilaccd confidence. Ho foil in with a
itrangor friend at a drinking place in
part of the city ou Saturday night ,
ind both became very drunk. Mr.
? itiquo was invited by nis friend to go to
lis room and accepted the invitation.
iVhilo in his stupefiedjcondition there ho
vas robbed by his friend of a check for
? 70 and $15 in money. Ho came to the
> olico station yesterday and reported his
oss , stating ho could find his man , and
) flicer Knight wont out with Fitiquo ,
> ut his friend could not bo found. The
aloon-keepors say that the thiot was
, bout that part of the city all day yeator-
lay , making u very liberal use of his ill-
[ otten trains. As the check scolon was
lot endorsed , Fitiquo will not lose the
JCO.Tho
The case has been turned over to
3llicor Ma'za , who knows a man who an-
wors the description given by Fitique in
hat part of the city , and will arrest him
his morning.
