The coming convention of postmasters of third and fourth eclass offices will be held shortly in Chicago to discuss meas- ures for a redress of their grievances in the matter of salary and allowances. There is every prospect that the conven- tion will be largely attended as it ought to be. The recent changes in the postal laws have borne Leavily on the country postmaster. The reduction in postage from three to two cents has ent down the pts of fourth classoflices nearly a third. The eatting down of newspaper postage decreased their commission on newspaper business a half, While the public was benefitted, the postmasters inall offices where the salary depends upon commissions on cancelled s were muleted of a large part of thei mer compensation. In addition to the smallness of the v, the fourth class postmasters complain that they are re- quired to report box rents as part of the snlary when they are for the boxes at their own expense, » compelled to do extr responsibilities at s without adequate allowance for hire. The third class postmasters n of the injustice of allowing first and second class postmaste its, lights, fuel, stationery and elerk hire, and deny ing it to them when they are ¢ lin exactly the same manner, They protest inst the government taking the entire receipts from box rents when the boxes the individual property of the post- masters and they are held accountable to the last cent for all government funds and denied an allowance for a safe with a gene Aint inst the insignificant compensation for transacting prder business form the sum total ances of the country post- for which they ask congressional nd that comj The lot of the country postmaster is not a happy one. He is the servant of a neighborfiood without regard to size, sex or color. His store m which the office is located is common property. Every delay in the mails is charged up to his personal account. Wrecks on the road, blockaded coaches, the mistakes of ofli nd clerks on the route, the of correspondents, are all laid on his shoulders. He must be civil to incivility and smiling to stupidity. When the con- tents of the stamp drawer run out, owing to the economy of the department in refusing to honor his requisitions, he must cheerfully shoulder the blame and do violence to his conscience as he promises “a full supply by the next mail,” and writes in d rate anxiety to the next office for a loan to carry him over until “next quarter.” He is supposed to know the contents ot every postal card which he handles and is popularly be- lieved to have some means of discovering the information contained in the letters which he pouches. Over and above all hangs the dreaded regulutions with their seven hundred parvagraphs of ved the violation of any onc of which is cer- tain to cali down on his devoted head ands from oflicial with threats the cancellation of his commission if veated. Postal clerks ‘‘check’’ him, in- spectors raid his office in search of acci- dental mistakes, and chiefs of depart- ments deluge him with instructions. If lie happens to be at a *‘separating oflice,” where mails on side routes are made up, his troubles are redoubled and his work inereased in proportion. For all this the country postmaster receives a compensa- tion of from 49 cents (the loast salary re- ported) to 1,200 a year, and is supposed to hold a berth of suflicient importance to have his appointment published in the paper: We sympathize cordially with the country postmaster. We have been a member of that unfortunate class our- selves. The excitemont furnisiied is ample, but the compensation for the gray hairs and wrinkles incurred in the per- formance of its variegated dutics 13 shamefully small. It ought to be in- creased. of Apy The appeals to prejudice which are be- ing made in the case of Marshal Cum- mings, now under investigation by a grand jury of the district court for Doug- las county, are made for a purpose. No disclaimer on the part of the partisan sheet which bas for months been honnd- ing the city marshal to please the patron suint of the packing-house democruts will convince fair-minded men that its present fusilade of abusc is not fired M5i: state department 1s to inves tho killing of imett € by Mexican troops, while he was cngaged inthe pursuit of hostile Apaches. If the investigation is carried far enongh, it will bring out the fact that the Greaser ban- ditti on the border are more dangerous to life-and property than the Apaches whom they pretend to hunt. igate awiord ONE of the questions upon which the people of Omaha should bo ailowed to voto at the spring election is that of ad- ditlonal paving bonds. Petitions for double the amount of paving, which can be done under the bonds voted last fall, would readily be forthcoming if means for paying the shave of the city in such improvements were provided. Tne Beg of last evening said : No ovne denies that the president council was ]n'u]\mli qualified as a property Owher when 1l 100k 11 seat. under the ehi- terrestrictions, As a matter of fact, he has been a real estate owner ever since, The best answer to the Ber's unsupported ~ statement is found In the open challenge to Stseliont in another column,—Herald.

The revamping of the old charges und the direct appeals to oflicers investi- gating the cuse were timed with this in view. The B repeats that such a course of conduct in any newspaper is a gross violation of propriety, without war- rant, unprecedented, and deserving of the strongest condemnation. “Phe city marshal, whether guilty or in- nocent of the charges made by his polit cal encmices, is entitled to a fair and im- partial consideration of his case, by u jury of his fellow eitizens.

The organ of the packing-house de- moeracy, whose assaults on republican officials for purely political ends are only less violent than its attacks on members of its own party who do not bow the knee to its editor, continues to assail President Bechel's property aualifications as a member of the city council. With the records in the county court house staring it in the face and publicly giving the lie to its statements, it brazenly re- news its falsehoods and challenges Mr, Bechel to prove that *“he is or has been a property owner during his term of office. With an utter lack of decency and dis- regard of the commonest rules of proj riety it insinuates that there was a scheme between the president of the eity council and the city attorney to “gull” the publie, and intimates that Mr. Bechel has obtained his seat in office throv | frandulently using the property of “rels lification. No one knows better than the erank who grinds the organ of the packing | house demoeracy that there is not the shadow of a shade of foundation for the charges made, The indices of the county clerk’s office and the tax stubs of the city treasurer give the lie direct to its di assault on the president of the council It was uncalled for, m and groundless, made for political and par- tisan reasons, and cannot be defended on any grounds satisfuctory to men of honor | and reputation. The Herald ean answer its own chal- lenge by sending itsreporters to the court house. Tt assures its readers that “it will cheerfully print for Mr, Bechel any evi- dence from the county records that he is, or has been a property owner during his term of office, be it a deed or a receipt for taxes paid.” Both these evidences are | there and have been there for several | years, The challenge is accepted.

It provides that any entry herctofore made under the land laws of the United S| in conformity with the rules, and decisions of the general land oftice and inter| rtment at the time such 3 is conformed to t tent, and shall be perfected and proceed to patent the same as if the rules, regula- tions and decisions had not been reversed or modified. The additional and neces- sary provision is made that such entry | must have been made in good faith, and | no charges of fraud have been made 1inst the same, and that in case any charges of fraud have been made, they shall be investigated in the same manner and with the same effeet as if the rules, regulations and decisions under which the entry was made had not been modi- fied or reversed. The larger part of the hue and cry raised against Mr. Sparks’ rnlings in the cases of homestead, pre- emption and timber culture rulings, s from his refusal to issue patents on receivers' certificates of purchase given prior to his ubency of the land office. been claimed that the e has no right to make his rulings retroactive or to delay the profecting of titles acquired under the decisions of his predecessors. So far as he keeps within the law his rulings on procedure in the securing of proofs and the final issue of patents for which steps were begun under his own adutnistra- tration cannot be assailed. He may verse or modify any such rulings as he sees fit on grounds of public necessity. In all cases, however, an appeal lics from the land commissioner to the secre of the interior with the supreme court as the r. Under Van Wyck’s bill, if it aw, the suspension of patents will at one ed on all entries per- fected prior to Mr, Sparks' assumption of oflice where charges of fraud haye net beeh made, WhsTe such charges have been preferred they will be investigated by the proper tribunals. No honest set- tler need f result. becomes a egraphing Krom Moving Trains, problem of transmitting tele phic messages to and from railway trains in motion, which has for some time been discussed and considered practical, has at Jast been solved. The new method has been practically demon- strated o be a success, 1t was tried on the Staten Island railway on Monday, and proved eminently satisfactory to leading railroad men who were pussen- gers and witnesses on the expe train. The dispatches state that a battery was placed in one of the cars with a ground wire connecting with the axle of a wheel and the track, the other wire conneeting with the tin roof of the car. The car roofs were connected by an insu- Iated wire. A common elcetric magnet worked by a Morse key was used. From the car roof messages were transmitted by induction to permanent wires on the poles along the line of the railroad, a | distance of twenty-five to thirty feet. | Messages were sent to and from New York aund other points with perfect facility while the train was run- ning at thirty miles an hour. The system will at once be introduced on the Ilinois Ceniral railroad, and no doubt upon all the leading roads at an early day. Under this system it will be possible for two moving trains to com- municate with each other, or with any station, and many other improvements will naturally follow in the method of handling trains. It will work a complete revolution in the railroad telegraphic service. Sexator VAN Wyck has mtroduced a bill for the erection of a public building at Beatrice to cost not less than $100,000.
