TIdJiS OMAHA DAILY BEE : FRIDAY , JULY 1 , 1881.
POSTAL EBPORM.
Stopplag Off Too Many Postal
Routes.
Washington Special Cincinnati Commcrclil.
Some reformers in their zeal to go
farther than others not less disposed
to do right , yet cooler nnd more de
liberate in their notion sometimes
commit errors and have to retrace
their steps. Tins is likely to prove
true in logard to the reforms which
Postmaster General James is attempt
ing , more especially as regards his in
tention to make the department self-
sustaining. This is a new idea. It
has never been realized or even at
tempted before in practice. The
principle heretofore lias boon that the
letter carriers must keep pace with the
immigrant and settler. Though
there would bo an apparent
deficit in the balance sheet , it
would be more than made
good by the development of the coun
try , toward which mail facilities so
materially assist. Probably the es
sence of the policy of thedopartment ,
Jis hitherto observed , may bo expressed -
pressed by saying the true intent and
purpose of the postollico is to carry
the last letter to the farthest settler.
'Cf course there must be certain quali
fications ; but herein the true princi
ple is contained , when abuses nre
found to exist , correct them. The
principle , nnd no part thereof , should
bo sacrificed. The country has cheer
fully acquiesced in this , and never
complained that there was an annual
deficit. It was next asked to have
the department self-sustaining. It
will demand that it bo not self-sus
taining , if to do it the mails of the
people in sparsely settled districts must
bo cut off. If for any reason it still bo
maintained that the self-sustaining
rule must prevail , there will bo a very
general demand that the reduction of
mail facilities and costs bo universal
in the old and popular routes as in the
new and thinly populated regions. In
suc.li a contest the postmaster-general
would find himself at a disadvantage
Congress , if necessary , would so define -
fine him his duty as cither to insure
mails to the distant regions , even at
the sacrifice of the self-sustaining idea ,
or , if that idea must bo kept up , the
reduction of expenses shall be over
the whole country alike , the heaviest
where it could bo the easiest berne ,
to wit , on the old and most populous
routes. The total suspension of a
weekly or a tri-wcekly mail on the
frontier or in the thickly populated
parts of the old states , is not less
onerous on the people affected than
would bo a corresponding'reduction in
the great routes , viz. : between Wash
ington and the great cities , or on the
great lines between the seaboard and
the west. Mr. James is likely to have
to deal with the demand that the
reduction bo pro rata , or on some
other principal not altogether jnst ,
perhaps , which is liable to grow out
of the antagonism which his zeal may
create. The represntativ.es of the
sparsely settled regions and this
means to a considerable extent the en
tire south , as well as the new west ,
where the reformer's knife is cutting
deepest and the effects are already
beginning to bo felt most , will feel
ihat they have a battle to fight , and
next winter will come prepared to
fight it. Under no circumstances will
mail facilities bo yielded from motives
of alleged economy. While insisting
that frauds and abuses shall
be dealt with , mails they will
havo. "It" will bo main
tained as a settled fact , if the country
ii not going to furnish mails the
public l.inds will , materially , cooso to
be in dumand , and development will
bo siriously affected. Under this
he.ul absurd elains will bo preferred ,
as in the past , and unjust complaints
111 no duubt bo made. There is
rivm for every honest man to differ
r.s to what are and what are not abus-
LH in and extravigai. . ' . opening new
mail routes as well na { continuing old
mien. What don't pay directly in dol-
1 in nnd cents may nevertheless bo
\ury important , and should bo en
couraged not cut off. Some will go
so far as to maintain that frequently
taiil contracts ought to be given to en
courage 8teaiubo.it and mail lines
( fhcro otherwise they would not exist ,
because these in course of time assist
to the dovclopcmont of self-sustaining
routes. If there
a : : i even profitable
.were to bo no non-paying routes the
posttoiftco department would bo of
small account to a very considerable
portion of tli A people. Said Senator
Ransom , of North Carolina , in sub-
atsnce , at the pibstoffico department
8 fewr days ago : \
'If you persist inputting off mail
routes in my state , oi\ you have boon
doing , because they Ulo not pay , I
ahalt demand that you cpaso your free
delivery in cities. " *
Hero is the foreshadowing of the
fine of the contest that is vto come.
"What' is the just source o ! complaint
is that extravagance and , perhaps ,
dishonesty have como to exist in the
mail service , .as I believe it-lias in
nearly every department Cut Hhem
off root it out , but cease your efforts
to make the aujwrtment self-sustaknT
ing. The people , . - > ilyj pay'the
cipcnse , don't want Tt ; ' quite'
theieverse. " This was said by v.
other when protesting against the eit
tmgv-shment of a star which had
sliouuni his section , Senator .Riht
soin , M whom I have already referred ,
told Jie department what , perhaps ,
Jiad i jt occurred to some of them ,
that ne mail sen-ice of the country ,
so 1 g as so "lucw Vf tfw territory re-
man 3 < 1 unsettled , never had boon ,
nevi' could bo , and never should bo
made self-sustaining , nnd that it was
a totally wrong principle when applied
to that branch of the government.
Jt is already evident that Mr.
Tames , if lie goes ahead with his self-
rtistaininsj idea , has a battle of no
omiuon " proportions on his hands.
ffFirat of July will witness the execu
tion of the orders of suspension in a
very great number of cases. After
that will como the protests. By the
time congress assembles , the prospect
; 3 they will become an avalanche.
r 2 bo independent of any
* 4/concerning star-route man-
the government may have
its lia'nds now. It is not to bo
doubted , however , that it will bo
I dillicult to prevent the two mingling
in the popular mind at least , if jiot in
the couits. I believe the department
already realizes something of the magni
tude of its undertaking , perhaps moro
sensible now than it did at first , Per
haps it may not bo so just at present ,
but it will not be long when fho ques
tion will be whether to go on or atop.
It cannot bo much of a question even
now what is going to bo the manifes
tation of public opinion in the coun
try on the subject at largo. The idea
of making the postollico department
self-sustaining , would undoubtedly bo
a good ono if practicable. It is , however -
over , a taxing ono when the way to
do it comes to bo considered. Per-
Imps Mr. James has gene to the bottom
tom of it. If so ho is the first man.
GRANT AND GARFIEI/D.
How They Mot nml Were Ro-
oolvoil nt Long Brixnoh.
Corre'pomlem-u Philadelphia Times.
For three days Mr. Garfield had
lived just across the drive from Mr.
Grant , and Mr. Grant had lived just
across the drive from Mr. Garfiold.
It was exactly the same distance from
the cottage where Grant waa to the
hotel whore GarJield was , as from
Gar-Hold's hotel to the Grant cottage ,
but the distance cither way was too
great for cither to travel. It was ,
however , jnst about the right dis
tance for a man to see without glasses ,
and it is well known to every man ,
woman and child in this place that ox-
President Grant spent the greater
part ot his daylight time behind the
window shutters of the house trying
to see what President Garljeid was up
to across the way. At this identical
time President Garfield occupied the
eligible position behind the window
shutters of the Elbcron hotel ,
where ho closely watched
every suspicious movement of
the ox-silent man across
the avenue. The strain of all this
upon imaginative peonlo hero was
simply awful. It would have -been a
great relief if ono great man would
have dared the other great man half
way ; it would have been still moro so
if Garfield had gene out into the middle - ,
dlo of the road and strutted around"
with a chip on his shoulder , or if
Grant had dared Garfield to.come in
side the fence , or if anything in the
world could have happened it would
have been very pleasant to the expec
tant crowds who daily hung around to
see fair play.
But the meotilig finally occurred.
The great president and the great ox-
president got of tired 'glaring at
each other throug the window shut
ters. The president went out to ride
and the ex-president went out to
walk , and they most unaccountably
encountered each other. It was ono
of those mornings when Grant had
forgotten to take his pistol from un
der his pillow and put it into his
pocket , and as ho felt around under
his coat-tails for it he turned white
and began to wonder if ho had left
his will in his Mexican railroad and
the third term in good order. Ho felt
certain Garfield would get the drop on
him , and ho regarded complacently ,
as a bravo man'can , the closing mom
ents of an eventful life. Ho did not
know that Garfield had mislaid his
bowie-knife and ho was not near
enough to the president to see that ho
turned palo at the discovery. This
was a situation for two men whom the
newspapers and the gossips had got
into a temper to chew each other in
pieces. They had finally met and
neither had a weapon. There was
not oven a club or a stone within
reach. A score or more spectators ,
who had assembled to gather up the
fragments of the greatness after the
fight should end , were breathless with
fear. President Garfield looked at ex-
President Grant and raised his hat ;
ox-rcsident Grant looked at Presi
dent Garfield and raised his hat ; the
one drove away ; the other walked ont
and the war was over.
You must have noticed the way in
which all this waa done , much an a
couple would flirt and finally moot on
a pleasant afternoon in the park. A
lady who entirely understood these
things pronounced the affair "just too
sweet and lovely for anything. "
THE DEAD WARRIOR.
Obsequies of Mnj. Gon. Davidson of
the TJ. S. Army.
St * Louis Post'Dispatch , Juno 29 ,
The funeral of Maj. Gen. Davidson
at 3 o'clock to-day was a memorable
affair. The dead soldier had a host of
friends in this city , men who had
known him long and respected him
thoroughly. Gen. Davidson has been
colonel of the Second Infantry for a
long time , and has endeared himself
as much to his immediate military
friends as to his general associates ,
and the mourning for his death is by
no means confined to this city , but is
felt over the whole country. Few men
had a wider circle of personal friends
and few deserved bettor the love and
esteem in which they wcro held. The
funeral at tbreo o'clock this
evening was held according to-
the beautiful rites of the Epis
copal church , and an added sol
emnity was given by the presence of
a largo body of troops from the bar
racks , under the command of Lieut.
Col. John Green , of the First cav
alry. The troops wore formed at the
Plum street depot , and wore thence
marched to the residence of Mr. Ben
E. Walker , 1620 Chestnut street ,
where the body was lying in state.
The .Cavalry depot band preceded the
troops , and the long line was strung
out on Chestnut street. The music
played was a very solemn dirge. The
appearance of the troops was elegant
and their marching superb , When 3
o'clock came the casket was placed in
the hearse , wrapped around with the
American Hag , and the cortege es
corted by the soldiers sot out for
Christ church , whore the funeral sor-
yico waa pronounced , Thence the
route was taken up to Bellefontaino
cemetery , whore the body was interred
with the proper military honors and
salutes. All of the officers of the
barracks , and several accidentally
passing through the city , were pres
ent to do honor to the dead warrior.
The pall bearers were Gen. Thos. II.
Neil , Gon. Sam D. Sturgis , Gon. A.
Beckwith , Col. E. D. Baker , Major
E. B. Grimes , Capt. Jos. A. Snyder ,
Capt. J. N. Wheolan , Capt. Bomus ,
all of the United States regular army.
The other pall bearers were Gon. A.
J. Smith , Major Henry S , Turner ,
Gov. Thos. 0 Fletcher , Gov. John S.
Cavender , Gen. John B. Gray , Gen.
W. Noble , Col. Alton II. Easton ,
Cant. Silas Bent. Gerard B. Allen ,
Sylvester II. Lallm and D. H. Arm-
strong.
The Mexican veterans' association ,
of which the deceased General was
also a member , waa present and
walked with the cortege from the
church , many of them accompanying
the romainj to the cemotorj ,
CONKLING ,
Continuation of the Dreary Dead
lock in the Now York
AtitANY , Juno 30. Conkling and
Plait have not gained n man since the
first week , but their forces nro so com
pletely under their master's control
that only three have deserted. The
rest , although becoming impatient and
anxious to break away , dare not do so
and boast , like the Old Guard , that
they will never surrender , Depow
reached his highest numerical strength
just when the Bradley bribery bomb
was exploded. Right after that ho
gained two members , but has since
lost four or five. Ilis followers stick
to him faithfully , but there are
Ml'llMUIUNOS IX TIIK HANKS ,
and the losses are moro likely to occur
here than among the Bucks. The
friends of the other administration
candidates , who have laid aside their
own personal preferences to advance
Dopow , say that ho has boon given a
fair trial , that his election is proved
to bo an impossibility , and that he
ought now to withdraw his name so as
to give the others a chance to display
their strength , His managers are as
yet unwilling to allow this. They
hope that the legislature will decide
that the bribery charges are not
proved. Then , they assert , there
would bo a general rally to this much-
abused candidate. As long , however ,
as Dcpew is a candidate , there is no
prospect ot the election of any other
administrationist. The leaders
KXl'ECT TO CHOOSE ONLY ONK AUMINIS-
T1UTIOK MAN.
The other place is conceded to the
Bucks by common consent. This is
the reason Wheeler's vote does not go
above 50. If ho should run up to 00
or more. Depcw's friend's fear that
the Bucks might make a break for
the Lone Fisherman , knowing that
hia election would insure Depow's defeat -
feat and permit them to name the
Buck of their choices for tholong term.
Any other administration man who
might bo put forward for the short
term would probably meet the same
difficulty , so that Dopow's continuance
of the tight is as much an obstacle tea
a successful termination of the contest
as Conkling's.
IF THE LATTER WOULD WITHDUAW ,
it is qenorally believed that an elec
tion would take place immediately ,
but the same confidence in the result
is not felt in the prospective retire
ment of Dopow. It is thought that
the administration wing would bo apt
to split up in such an event. The
rivalry between the candidates pre
venting as great concentration as now
exists , a scattering of votes similar to
what occurred on the short-term va
cancy for the first two or three weeks
would probably follow , although it is
possible that a now man might jathor
up at once all the anti-Buck elements
and secure a speedy election. The
conviction that no election is possible
until Conkling and Dopow retire has
started a flood of rumors to-day about
compromises. They omonato largely
from persons outside the legislature
who want the matter settled , and are
moro idle gossip which has no founda
tion of fact.
CONKLING KEITEHATES TO-NIGHT
his determination to stick until the
last day of the year , if necessary. Ho
is , nevertheless , ready to submit his
claims to a caucus , and will yield to
its decision. Ho says the administra
tion side have refused to hold a cau
cus , so that under the existing cir
cumstances , his candidacy is as legiti
mate as that of any ono in the field.
" \Vhilo some of the administra-
tionists now favor a caucus as
the only means of promptly break
ing the deadlock , and the loaders are
afraid to agree to such n move , be
cause they suspect that the machine
men would catch them in a trap by
carrying a motion for a secret ballot ,
wheir those who really want to vote
for Conkling would bo able to do so
without incurring the disfavor of their
constituents. Dopow manifests no
moro signs of withdrawing than
Conkling does. _
WYOMING-OREGON.
The Short Liiio From Granger to
Portland.
Cheyenne Hun ,
There have been so many railroad
projects of the air line order inaugu
rated in the west this season amid a
blaze of newspaper headings that have
either como to naught or are in a state
of continued rest that the general
reader is inclined to bo somewhat
skeptical , and to regard with misgiving -
giving all such announcements ,
"
ut "whatever doubts there are in
regard to other Wyoming railroad
aphonies there is no longer any ques
tion about the speedy construction
of the Union Pacific branch from
Granger to Portland , Oregon. Mr.
A. K. Nosh , of the engineer depart
ment of the Oregon Short Line of the
Union Pacific railway , waa in ho city
yesterday and wo obtained from him
some facts in regard to this road.
Under his direction twenty-five miles
of grading is completed from Granger
and in two weeks ho will bo ready to
lay iron , except where bridges are be
ing constructed over Hani's Fork.
Grading is also being done PS far
as Hodges pass , a distance of 45
Aiilcs from Granger. At this pass it
is necessary to run a tunnel 1,000 foot
in length and men are working at both
ends , that is , they are driving head
ings from each end.
It is the intention of the company
to construct the line to Soda Springs
this season a distance of 150 miles
and surveying parties are out making
locations and work is being rapidly
pushed the whole distance.
The preliminary surveys of the entire -
tire route indicate that a very practi
cal route can be located which will
make the distance between Granger
and Portland not over 050 miles. This
road will posa through Snake river
valley and along other streams , pass
ing within 15 miles of Boise City , and
will not encounter any serious engi
neering difficulties. An it is a broad
gauge route there will be no breaking
of bulk , and Granger station will not
bo as dangerous a rival to Green River
City as some of its people might sup
pose , Indeed it may result to the ad
vantage of the latter place. Evanston
quite justly looks upon the new road
with misgivings.
FLIES & MOSQUITOES.
A 15o box of "Hough on Hats" will

toes , rats and mice , the entire season
