There are in tbt tjaitod States.150 fourth dans postmasters1Whese salaries are below $5 per annum each. This may seem incredible that an ihdmdual should consent to serve nspostmaster a whole year for less than $5, but it is n fact. And that is not the most remarkable statement that can be >made in this direction.. There are ninety whote compensation is actually less than 1 cent a day, and yet they serve their country and their fellow citizens the year round for that compensation Even that astonishing statement can be discounted, for a closer . examina­ tion into the latest attainable statis­ tics on this subject shows that there were 2Qpostmasters in the year last covered by these reports whose salary was less than,A cent per day the year round. This seems fufficieutly in credible to satisfy those, who delight in strange facta, hut there is still one step further in this statement of re­ markable facts regarding the salaries of fourth class postmasters. The blue .book, which, as is well kn.own, is is­ suedbiennially, gives the name and compensation of every postmaster in the country; the latest issue of that work-«ow.-attaiuable shows live .post- A N D R E W .

And You’d better Not stir i f him ‘ Up, —Chicago Tribune* masters iti the country whose salaries for the full year ending just prior to the issuance of the work were' less than $1.pel annum each and the an­ nual salary of three of these c ,'nbinetf was less than $1. In the most, extreme case in the en tire lot the salary for the entire year was the enormous sum of 20 cents. This was at Davie, Hall county, Georgia,where Postmistress Martha Clark was actually paid in cash 20 cents for her year’s services as post­ mistress. O f course everybody understands that postmastersat the smaller offices are paid proportionately to the sale of stamps from iheir offices. There are hundreds, yes thousandsof postoffices all over the country that do not pay an indi­ vidual in taking charge of them ua lessit can be done without additional labor or unless its operations bring some additional compensation in the way o f iucrcosed business. One of the things that the fourth class postmasters wantetl in -their re­ cent convention was an act o f con­ gress providing that no salary should be less than $15 per quarter, which, if it were adopted, would be a great reliefin many cases to the department which hasoften serious difficulty in finding suitable persons to taka chatge o f the offices. There is no probability however, that they will be successful at present in their efforts iu this direc- ' tion. The department isstill running {behind two or three millijns a year and there is little prospect that this economical congress will take auy steps looking towards an increase of its expenses so long as it is having to |go down into the pockets o f Uncle ’ Sam to pay its running expenses.
