BLOOMSBURG, PA,
FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 18S5.
Governor Pnttison has re-appointed
Dr. Illcbco as Superintendent of Pub
lic Instruction. Dr. Higbco is a repub
lican and has been tv satlstactory otli
cial, but it is likely that the governor
could havo found a democrat fully as
competent for the position if ho had
looked around a little. Republican gov
ernors of this state established tho pre
cedent of appointing only their own
partisans to olllco, and s-dhered rigidly
to tho practlco for many years. It is
a poor rule that works only one way
POST MASTERS AND THEIR DUTY.
tiif. president's letter.
The Dostmaster at Rome. N. Y. has
been suspended by the President, and
James B. Corcoran has been designa
ted to nerform the duties of the ofllcc.
Tho president proposed tho removal of
tho postmaster, and nominated Corcor
an to the senate at the recent session,
and as it failed to tako action on the
nomination the nostmaster-general ap
plied to tho president for his directions
in mo case, anu reccitcu .i mien iut
munication. which is as follows :
Executive Mansion, Wasuisoton,
D. C. April 4, 1885. Hon. Wit. t:
Vilas. Postmaster General Dear Sir:
In answer to yonr inquiry as to the dis
position to bo mado of the caso of the
postmaster at Rome, Oneida county, 1N
Y., which was presented to the senate
on the 26th day ot iXatch, witn a prop
osltion that he'bo removed for cause,
and which proposition was not acted
upon prior to the adjournment of that
body on the 2d day of April, I have to
say that to me it clearly seems to be
ray duty to exercise, by prompt action
in this case, all the power which the
present condition of the law has left a
mv hands, so far as it may be done in
dependently of the state to protect the
interests ot ttio government 10 vinai
cate the laws which have been enacted
for tho regulation of the postal service.
and to impress upon the federal office
holders the fact that no indulgence will
be granted by tho executive to those
who violate tho law or neglect publio
duty.
This postmaster, under section 4014,
United States revised statutes and reg
ulations of the post-office department,
was required to transmit to the depart
ment weekly a report oi me Dusmess
done by him in the money order branch
of his office. It appears from the offi
cial report of an inspector of the post
office deuartment now before me, and
which was submitted to a committee of
the senate, while tho proposition to re
move this official was before it, that an
examination of his office was ordered
on the 26th day of January, 1885, in
consequence of the fact that no suub
weekly reports had beeu made since
the Cth day of December, 1884. It
further appears from this report that
such examination developed the most
disgraceful confusion in all tliat per
tains to the accounts and financial coo
dition of the office ; that there had
been no entry in the money-order book
since July, 1834, and that, as might
have been expected, there was a defien
oy in the money-order account of more
than $700 and In thu postal account of
more than $400. There is, I think, no
dispute touching these facts. The de
ficiency has been refunded to the gov
ernment inner an arrangement, whii
one of the sureties of the delinquent of-
cial, and he attempts to excuse the
wretched condition of his office by al
leging that bis assistant had the entire
charge of the money-order business as
well as all other details of the office.
In making such an excuse this officer
admits, it seems to me, a violation f f
tho plain duty in turning over the
operations of his office to an assistant
without any pretext of the sickness or
unavoidable absence ot tuo postmaster,
which is contrary to a reasonable con
struction of section 4031, revised Btat
utee, which provided that "in case of
the sickness or nnavoidable absence of
tho postmaster of any money-order
post office, ho may, with the approval
of the postmaster-general, authorize tho
chief cleric or some other clerk employ
ed there, to aot in his place, and to ilia
charge all the duties required by law of
such postmaster. By the claim now
made, that tho assistant, having bad
lull charge, is responsible for the de
linquencies and irregularities complain
id of, the postniaiter also appears to
contradict his owr sworn statement,
made to tho department as late as Sep
tember 30, 1884, to tho effect that he
himself had performed, for tho preced
ing quarter, all the monoy-order busi
ness in his office, except when necess
arily absent. I shall do all in my port
er to rid the public service of official
who ehxibit such loose ideas of their
duty to the government. The fact that
I have before me documents Bigned by
many residents of tho city where this
postmaster is located, and who belong
to both political parties, asserting their
cntiro confidence in his honesty and fi
delity, demonstrates tho unfortunate
facility with which papers may bo ob
tained, and gives rise to an unpleasant
suspicion touching a too prevalent stau
dard of political honesty.
If I cannot remove this delinquent
postmaster, I can surely suspend him.
This I have determined to do, promp
tly, and I desire you at once to present
to me the papers necessary for that
purpose, with a designation of James
U. Corcoran to perform tho duties of
postmaster in place of the official thus
suspended.
Yours truly,
G rover Clevelaku.
A member of the senate committee
on poet offices and post-roadr1, who was
asked by an Associated Press reporter
for an explanation of the failure of that
oooimitteo to act upon tho nomination
of Mr. Corcoran to supercede the in
cumbent of the postraasteiDhipatRome
N. Y., in view of tho president's state
ment that the charges against the in
cumbent were laid before the commit
tee, said he is under tho impression
that tho committee agreed to report fa
vorably on Corcoran' nomination, and
in the hurry of the closing ho hit. of the
session the members having the report
in chargo failed to make It. Siicb fail
ure, ho said, did occur in the case of n
nomination to fill a vacancy in Penn
Hjlvania, and he added that be is con
firmed iu his belief that it occurred in
this case, because it is an iron-clad rule
oi the committee to voto in favor of
tho removal of every postmaster in
whose accouuts a deficiency is shown
to exist, whether that deficiency has or
has not bceu mado good.
The InvoatleaUons now bclncr mrulo I
by tho post oflice department havo
brought to light the fact that thu bus-1
Itiess of many ofliccs has been conduct
ed in a very loose manner. In many
Instances deficiencies in the ncoounts of
postmasters havo been discovered,
which aro of long standing, and yet ru-!
publican administrations havo neither
removed the delinquents nor forced a
settlement of their accounts. Presi
dent Cleveland's letter printed on this
page gives due notico to all such post
masters that they must go, This is n
buslnes administration and It moans
business.
The Proposed New Rod Lw.
n net for the establishment of n
general and uniform publio road sys
tem throughout the commonwealth has
been introduced in the legislature, and
is now on the files of bath Houses fur
further consideration. It provides for
tho appointment of a State supervisor
of Publio Roads, who must be a prac
tical engineer, to hold otnee three
years, with headquarters at Harris-
County road supervisors are to bo
appointed by District road overseors. in
tho same manner as County Superin
tendents aro now chosen by school di
rectors, and to hold office for three
years.
Every township, uorougn ana city
In the State will constitute a public
road district. Three district road over
seers aro to bo chosen at tho Spring
election to serve for three years, ami
the boards will meet in April for or
ganization, and to elect a district road
master.
Sea 38. Provides tor a State appro
priation of ono million of dollars, to
pay salary anu expenses oi aiaie super
visor, county supervisors, and the bal
ance to be apportioned among the sev
eral counties in proportion to the nura

within their respective limits : Pro
vided, That no district in the State
shall receive its quota of said State ap
propriation until it levies and collects
an annual tax at least equal in amount
to its quota of the State appropriation
and complies with all the other provis
ions of this act-
Sec. 39. All real estate and person
al property, stocks, bonds, mortgages
and occupations that are mado object
of taxation for county and school pur
poses may in liko manner be made ob
jects of taxation for road purposes.
Valuation of property to be tho same

Sec. 41. Special taxes shall be as
sessed as follows : Upon every horse
or mule, three years old or over an an
nual tax of one dollar for each animal.
Upon every wheeled vehicle in the
district 2o cents per wheel per annum.
wt e i , i.. ;
wagons oi neavy urangni carrying
three tons and upwards and not pro
vided with broad wheels of at leat
four inches across the tire, to pay dou
ble, or 50 cents per wheel.
See. 4C. Connty Hoad Supervisors
authorized to receive and consider pe
titions of citizens or district Roid
Overseers for the laying out of new
roads or vacating old ones, and to
make formal application to court for
authority to open or vacate such roads.
Whereupon the court shall appoint
three road jurors or viewers and ap
praisers, who shall visit and view the
proposed route for a new road, giving
at least threo days' notice of such visit
by handbills to parties interested. Al
ter viewing the proposed route and as
sessing the damage, if any, to real es
tate owners, to make report to tho
court appointing such jurors which
after hearing all the parties in interest
shall confirm or reject such application
tor a new road and bx the damages.
The decree of the court to be final and
no further court proceedings shall
be required, and no extra damages al
lowed in any case for the opening of
such new road.
There are numerous other provisions
in the bill, but the above is a general
synopsis.
Un this
subject we endorse
the
Philadelphia Times which says :
lhe elaborate system of road super
vision proposed by tho Gobin hill does
not gain in favor as it becomes better
known throughout the State. Appar
ently the chief reason for expecting it
to work well is toe tact ttiat it is based
on the Slate's system of school super
vision, which is assumed to havo been
a brilliant success. What ' relation
thcro is between the management of
schools and the management of coun
try roads that could make methods
that were successful in the onu case
applicable to the other is something
that the friends of the Gobin bill do
not condescend to explain. Their en
tiro stock in trade seems to consist of
a monotonous reiteration of this simi
larity of methods and of the weary
complaint of the rural traveler : "Any
thing would be an improvement on tho
present road system."
If there is anything tho matter with
the present road laws a good way is to
dud out what it is and not to repeal them
altogether and substitute an entirely
now set of road laws. Perhaps after
the new laws have been in force five
years the people will know as much
about them where they work well
and where they don't and why as
they know about the present laws. To
all who aro net interestel in an office
making job it would seem that the
shortest way to real road reform is to
find out what is the weak point of our
present system of road laws and apply
the remedy, retaining and enforcing iu
tho meantime those provisions which
are found to work well.
There is far more demand in the
couutry neighborhoods of tho Stato for
the repeal of tho section which pro
vides that a litizen may work out his
road tax instead ot paying it than for
iny new system of road regulation.
As a rule, road supervivors are elected
because they aro good Mlnwg, or good
Republicans, or good Democrats, and
not btcauso they are cnergetio busi
ness men who know how to make good
roads. Half the time the road tax is nut
collected, but is worked out by turning
tho mad upside dowu with a hoe two
hours in the morning and two hours in
the afternoon. No wonder the country
roads aro bad.
Apparently all that is needed is to
abolish the working-out of the
road tax and to elect good Supervisors
in every townsnip, as contemplated by
existing laws. The first step would in
sure money enough to make the roads
good, if properly spent, and the second
the selection of men who would spend
the money properly when it was col
lected. It Si a question of nothing in
tho world but the raising of money
and tho choico of meuwho know how
to spend it. The complicated machinery
provided by tho Gobin bill is wholly
unnecessary.
