THE OMAHA DAILY BEE FIFTEENTH YEAR, TURNS TRADE FROM TOWNS Renator Wilson Explains His Fourth-Class Postage Increase Bill, AN AID TO THE RETAIL DEALER. Opposed to Centralization of Business In the Large Cities—The First Bourbon Year's Removals— General Capital News, Senator Wilson Rises to Explain, Wasiminaron, March S.—[Special Tele gram, |—Tonight your correspondent had a talk with Senator Wilson of Towa aboat his bill proposing to inerease the rate of postage on fourth-class matter. “The bill seems to De exciting some attention and a good deal of harsh eriticism,” said the senator. “I have n asked why T introduced it. T will tell I hiave a theory that too mueh central- ation is not a good thing for the general wellare of this country. I believe that a gencral diffusion of industries, general business and employments throughout all sections of the country will better promoto public good than to have themn centralized in great cities. 1 advanced and advocated this in my speech in the senate on the bills for the 1 n of interstate commerce, A body politic can no more thrive under a system which confines the vital forees repre- sented by its employments, its business, its commnierce, to a few points than ean a natural body whose life currents are obstructed and denied their natural action, You ask how 1 connect that doctrine with the bill? Why, one of the first things that suggested the movement to my mind was the complaint of the retail dealers in the interior and small towns relative to the hurtful _competition which the great mereantile establishments of the large cities had organized against them by means of the low rates of postage on packages of merchan- dise. That there is good grounds for these complaints is weli shown by the movements now woing on in Philadelphia, New York Boston, Baltimore and other centers against, any change in the law relative to a change of postage on fourth-class matter and in_the classification of {he articles it ewbraces.” “Are the merchants in these cities organ- ng against your bills?” Yes, sir,” lied Senator Wilson, ators are receiving a flood of letters against the bill, and the newspapers in the east are denouncing it good deal since its introduction, or have proposed amendiments to it respecting seeds, bulbs and plants, and I may modity it other respects. I have not only pro- vided for omitting these articles from the bill, but also for placing them in the third class of mailable matter, which reduces the present postage one-half, The reason 1 intreduced the bill « in the form I presented it in was to give the committee the entire subject of ass matter for consideration, and 1 invited all persons objecting to it to give their reasons why their particular business should be excluded from its terms. This has brought me much correct data, I Jook at the subject from the standpoint of the opposition to the general tendency of these times to centralize everythirig ‘in the great cities. 1 beli that 1t right and just to protect the country dealers and merchants against the active competition of the great merchant princes of the cities. It is right to give men in the smaller towns, Who have not the great capital of the cities, a fair chance, and I do not believe in the government joining hands with the cities in enforcing n monopoly of trade in these centres which shall erush out the small men of means the country over, and especially thav the government shall not do this at rates that impose a dead loss to the postal revenues, and may postpone postal reduction in other meritorious ons, The heaviest percentage of the v in the postal revenue results from fourth-class matter, and is practically so much money advanced by the government to the business interests of the great cities to en- able them to compete with like interests lo- cated in the rural regions of the country. I 10 not believe that this is right. It is a part of the general system now tending to a cen- tralization of the business and affairs of the country in the great cities, which will re- sult infsubstantial injury and effective discontent. 1 believe that every coun- try town and country village should have its fair chance in the business which naturally belongs to it. ‘Ihis they cannot have, with the enormous capital of the great cities, aided by thegovernment at a dead loss to itselt, working against them. 1 exnect the movement made to correct the present evil tendencies to fail, and the evil tending toward centralization to go on until it shall have become so oppressive that an agitation as widespread and as resoluteas the one now demanding the regulation of the inter-state commerce, will demonstrate the fact that wise action in prevention better conserves public welfare than do_the stern measures of reform 80 often demanded in respect of long established abu ses; but I shall do what 1 ean to remedy it now.” AWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DEMOCRAT ‘The fist years work of the demecratic party shows as a result over 25,000 offices filled with democr 1f the administration Xeeps on at this vate, at the end of its teym it will have pretty much all the oftices filled with democrats, ‘e nuniber of change that has been made without much noise is much greater than is generally supposed. Ko, instance, it was not generally known until the fuct came out in debate the other day that there had been over a thowsand changes in the pension oflice list of examiners, 1f there have been so many of which so little has been heard in this one branch of the govern- ment service, it is safe to conclude that the number is wuch greater than supposed in other departments. The president, who Is credited with most of the work of this character, has really done but & small portion of this work, He has sent to the senate little less than 2,000 namesin all, Less than 10 per cent of the ehianges were mado by his hands. The post- master general is the object of a great deal of censure for bis apparent apathy in regard to changes, but in fact the postofiice department has done more in the way of changes than all tho others but together, The assistant post- master general, who of course operates under the dircetion of Vilas, Is quictly cutting off heads at the rate of about 100 a day., The postoftice department has probably made 15,000 changes in the ranks of its employes within the past year. If the pension oflice alone has made 1,000 changes in a single bianch of its service, it is easy to sce that thed number in the iuterior department must be 5,000, which brings the nuwber up to 20,000, 'Lhe treasury departwent has wot ouly changed a good mauy of its oflicers throughout the country, but it has been at the same time cutting off the heads of subordinates 1 every directio The removals by tho treasury niust nun ber 4,000 or 5,000, Add to these the nuumber es made in- the state department, Lwent of justice, aud those of presi- dent, and you have more than the number indicated above—nearly 50,000, in fact. REAGAN'S INTERSTATE COMMERCE BILL. After about a month’s work the house com- mittee on commeree to-day agreed by a vote of 9 to4 to report, with favorable recommen- dation, Reagan’s inter-state commerce bill. The measure has been considerably amended from what it was in the last congress, but the amendments have all been in the interest of the people and against monopoly. Among the amendinents was one framed by Repre- sentative Weaver of Nebraska, providing thatany company or corporation receiving freight for shipment in the United States to be carried throngh foreign countries, the ultimate destination of which has a place in the United States, shall keep posted in a conspicuous place in the depot where the goods are veceived for ship- ment a schedule giving the through rates to all points in the United States beyond the foreign territory. A failure to do so will subject the company or corporation to the penalties herein fixed, and in other ship- ments into a foreign country, and reship- ment into the United States, where the through rate shall not have been made public as required by this act, the goods so shipped shall be subject to customs dues the same as if it was of forcign production, Jud Rea- gan expeets to secure the consideration of his bill at an early day in the house, and believes it has more friends in both branches than the Cullom bill, THE SENATE AND MORRISON'S BILL. A careful analysis of the senate situation with reference to the Morrison bill results in the conclusion that the republicans have an undoubtediy protective vote of 89—including Mitchell of Oregon and Riddleberger and McPherson, 42; that Van Wyck may be counted with the free traders; that Brown, Camden, Eustis, Gibson, rman, Jackson, Kenna, Payne, Voorhees and Fair may be counted upon to prevent the destruction of some industries in detailed votes, but under some imaginary rate of duty being too high would vote with their party or dodee altogether when the important moment airives; that the remainder are free traders, WESTERN POSTAL CHAN rd C. Smith has been appointed post- at Koster, a new postoflice in Picrce, ., and Kred O. Canfield has been ap- pointed at Canfield, a new oflice in Black- hawk feounty, Lowa. Postmasters were com- missi s follows: Alonzo Brinkerhofl, Theodore C. Harris, Bartlctt, lowa; Louis C. Smith, Buffalo Foik, lowa. FORTY-NL H CONGI Senate. WAsHINGTON, Mareh 5,—Among the peti- tions presented Was one praying congress to take steps to have restrictions of the import- ation into Germany of American pork re- moved, and one praying that the department of agriculture may be represented by a cabi- net ofticer. A resolution, offered by Mr. Hale, was od {o, calling on the secretary of the fora varicty of information connected Dolphin, Boston, Atlantic and Chi- cago. ‘The call includes information as to tie change from the original plans of those ships and the causes of sueh changes, the correspondence of the naval ad- visory board at various speciticd periods, memorandium showing when the opinion of the attorney gener: to_the Dolphin was received by the sec of the navy, and by whom, and when, and” in what nianner it was published.

The amendment offered by Mr Logan was agreed to, providing that the sec retary of the interior is charged with the duinistration of this lawthrough ommissioner of education; those two areauthorized, with theapproval of the president, to make 'all rules and needful vegulations not inconsistent with the provis- ions of the bill to carry ont these provisions. Mr, Logan said his object was to establish asort of board instead " of leaving the ques- tions arising under the bill entirely to the secretary of the interio An anendment offered by Mr. Dolph was agreed to, requiring from each state full in- formation' each year as to the number of school districts in such state, and if any part of the state shall have not been divided into school districts, the reason for failure to divide. ~Also, rélative to the number of white and colored children in the several school districts, ete.

Maxey opposed it as being eminently unjust. ‘Pexas, he said, could tako cate of her own system, and if Toxas, with the view lightening the burden of taxation throughiout the country stiould deeline to g undet the bill, the quota of Te part of their quota.

He Informs the Houso As to An Unex- 1 Appropriation, March 5.—The postmaster general to-day transmitted to the house his reply to the resolution asking 1f he had ex- pended any portion of the $51,300 alleged to have been appropriated by the last congress to increase tae salaries of railrond postal clerks, and it not, the reason therefor. The postmaster general said that these salaries had been unchanged for nine years and that 10 reason is known 1o exist why the compen- sation is not as adequate as lereto- fore. It appeared improper for the departinent to inerease salarics without an expression of such Purnose from congress. Ho quoted from the Congressional Record to show that the of this appropriation s, but to put suf- ice on new railroads, He said it would have been manifestly prejudical to the discipline of the service, and promotive of further discontent, to have increased salaries fora single year and then reduce them the next, and’ therefore it was inexpedi- ent ' to aaise them without justifi- ablo expectation of continuance, which could not have been indulged in in the #ace of the proceedings copied from the Record. For these reasons increased salaies were not made, nor was the appropriation expended for proposed new seryic it_was not deemod necessary. In conclusion Vilas said that it is estimated that §170,000 of the §2,512.000 appropriated for the pavient of postal clerks will remain in hand at the end of the fiscal year. It is also estimated that 1f it is proposed to increase the sularies of - rail- road postal clevks next vear it will require about " 100,000 addition to the amount already estin previous Teserves ted. ue Collections.

The Great Strike In New York. NEW York, March 5, —The grand tie-up of all the surface lines of the city ordered by the executive board of the Empire Protective as- sociation took place this morning and not a car is running. At 4:02 o'clock the fi rst car for the day on the Sixth avenue road should have left the depot at Forty-third street. The car did not do so. As the night men arrived with their cars they ran them into the stables. The men stood around, quietly cha tted, laughed in the best of humor and did not at- empt to resort to any violence. The last car left the Broadway railroad tdepot at 8:%0 oclock, The next one to arrive entered the depot, but did not come out again, The men were very quiet. They did not intend to harm anyone. At 4:50a, m. the agents from the Empire Protective association ordered the men to leave, which they did on the instant. They.assembled in orderly gronpsand prepared to marceh to their hall on West Forty-second street, where they will remain during the day. When car No. 204 of the Third avenue line reached the de- pot at Fifty-sixth street, at 4:20 o’clock, o driver turned from the main track into tae stables and unhitched his horses, Every car that arrived subsequently did the same. There was mnot the slightest excitement or noise. At 2:45 o'clock there will strike, as their doing so conld be of no possible use to the surface railroad strikers, THE STRIKE END 1:30 p. m.—Police Superintendent Murray has received intelligence that the committees which met to consider the strike troubles have adjourned, and that matters have been adjusted, and that the men will resume work at 2 o'clock this afternoon on the lines in this city and Brooklyn ALBANY, March ! he railroad commis- sioners, who are in all parts of the state, will oto New York to-day to hold a meeting at he Fifth Avenue hotel at 8 o'clock this evening, because of the street railway troubles, New Yonk, March 5.—One of the leading spirits among the strikers said that the men who committed the acts of violence yesterday were not connected with the strike in any way. He saud that it was the intention ot the men to defend the property of the rail- ds that had granted the demands of the men, and that comnitt have been appointed by the various lines to feed and water the horses in the different stables: that the gstrikers would drive a car over the roads of either orall of the Tines which had coma to the terms made to the men, so_that the charters of the roads would 1ot be jeopardized, One peculiarity about the committee appointed to feed and water the horses in the_stables was that the men appointed to care for the horses of the Broadway line were not employed by the Brondway compaiy, but were from another line, This plan was followed in all the stables.

They all belonged to the night force, for the day men simplified the matfer by not reporting for duty. President Lamb, of the company, was immediately notified, but he decided to do nothing till he called the directors together during the day, when it will be decided whether it will be worth while to make an effort to run the cars.
