POSTMASTER-GENERAL JAMES
AND POSTAL EEPOEU. !
For the first tlmo since the estab
lishment of the postoffise department ,
the country has a man at tha head oi
that important branch of the public
service who brings to his position
practical experience , coupled with a
determination to make the postal ser
vice ( fficient , economic and self sus
taining. Up to the present time the
heads of tha postoffice department
have been either ornamental gentle
men like Marshall Jewell , moss-
backed old fossils like Judge
Key , or starchy time servers
like Tynor. The main business of the
postmaster general has scorned to bo
to smile upon delegations , chat with
congressmen and minipulate postal
pitronago for political ends. The rea ]
business of tbo department was con
ducted by subordinates who were
either totally Incompetent or wono ,
linked with jobbers , straw bidders or
star route speculators. When Mr.
James took charge of the department
in his own hands every branch of the
service at once felt that there was a
man at the helm who understood
his business. Mr. James has been
in office scarcely six weeks , but ho
has already stopped leakages involv
ing a loss cf millions annually to the
government. His investigation and
exposure of the fraudulent transsc
lions of the contract office of the post
office department , is the first move
which the new executive has made
upon the ring of jobbers and hirpies
that have for thirty years infested
that department of the government.
The surgeons knife is being
skillfully but unhesitatingly ap
plied to the cancers which
have Rrown upon the postal contract
system and the government will reap
the benefit in a saving of hundreds of
thousands of dollars annually. Start
ling developments are promised to the
public exposing the existence of a
powerful combination who were bene
ficiaries of the star route appropria
tions , including congressmen , ex con
gressmen , newspaper proprietors and
correspondents , and prominent lobby
ists. Among those prominent lobbyists
Nebraska has doubtless , to her shame ,
been represented.
The recent orders issued by Post
master-General James fsr the reor
ganization of the railway mail service
are also very timely. In no section of
the country has this reorganization of
the service been more nocdod than at
Omaha , and upon the lines of railway
converging at this point. For the last
seven years there has been at the
head of this branch oi the postal sys
tem at this point a m n grossly incom
petent for the positior ; who has
devoted the moat of hii time in jun-
ketting tours throughout the state
and ward bumming In tha city. Bis
duties meanwhile have been perform
ed by a route ngcnt detailed from ac
tive service on the road , when at no
.itne there was a sufficient number of
men on the road to do the business
efficiently. Time and again have su
perintendent * tf the railway mail ser
vice and the general superintendent
tilrnself admitted the utter unfitness
of the man for the place , and the only
reason given fcr his rotentlou la
, hat his wife is a near relative
ativo of one of tha Justices
of the Supreme Court. With such a
man to supervise the service here , the
whole force of nil way clerks has
3een demoralized and the patrons of
ho postoffice have suffered. When
.he new broom , which Mr. James
landles with such vigor , reaches this
section of the cjuntry wo hope to see
clean sweeping.
If civil service reform aoads to bo
utroduced into any branch cf the
public service , it is in the poaioifico.
Jnder the list administration , where
civil service reform was the keynote ,
the only application of the principle
Beamed to be to keep men in position ,
until they were iadicted by grand
nrios or cinvictcd of felonies no
matter how incompetent or how disre-
mtable they were. A striking illus
tration , o ! that kind of civil service re-
orm was the appointment of Dick
Adcms to tliopostraastcrship of Deed-
wood in the face of overwhelming
; roof that the man was dishonest and
lad boon an embezzler while in tha
employ of a private corporation. That
man was retained in office sit months
after ho had embezzled the funds of
he goverameut at Deadwood , was
inally indicted , convicted and
at last _ pardoned upon con-
litiou that liis bondsmen
hould repay eighty per cent of the
tolou money. Such scandals will
never occur uuder Postal IB tcr-Gjucral
Fames , whoso civil service reform is
of a practical kind , which is no ro-
pocler of persons or their endorsers
nhon their retention of o flics is detri
mental to the public service.

She may have hair of golden hue
And lo\elinessof feature ;

Of such I write my sonnet -
But to be perfect she must wear
A stylish new spring bonnet.
Satin iti string * , modest its plume ,
A poke of broad dimensions ,
Thus should the bonnet fairly match
Its wearers sweet preten'ions ;
And when she shines iith all her charms
Casting their glow upon it ,
Our hearts and heads are all bewitched
By this fine new spring bonnet.
Although a lady may be plain-
Yes , ugly , as to feature
Her hair bright rod , her eyea liftht green
In fact , a homely creature ;
Yet if her bonnet is the style ,
Tne ladies , dear , they're human 1
Will all exclaim ai with one breath
Oh ! what a charming woman !

Peep out like sweet spring flowers ;

True to Her Trust.
Too much can not be said of the
ever faithful wife and mother , con
stantly watching and caring for her
dear ones , never nrglocting a single
duty in their behalf. When they are
assiiled by disease , and the system
should have a thorough cleaning , the
stomach and bowels regulated , blood
purified , malarial poison exterminated ,
she must know that Electric Bitters
are the only sure remedy. They are
the best and purest medicine in tha
world , and only cost fifty cents. Sold
