Postmaster General Grcsham is making himself solid with the newspapers by order, ing that postal clerks shall not read other people's papers. This will be a little rough on some of the country postmasters, whose habits were formed years ago. There isn't as much care in tho handling of newspa pers in somd of tliu country postoiilccs as there ought to be. A newspaper should bo treated no less carefully than a letter, and there is about the samo right to open one ns the other. The new law may hereafter open the eyes of certain route agents and postmasters to tho criminality ot their practice of appropriating to their own use newspapers directed to paying subscribers.
