Mr. Aiken Defends Rural Carriers. Washington, April 20.-One ol the amendments to the post-offioo bill introduced by Representative Aiken provided for au additional appropriation of #4.000,000 for the purpose of providing rural mail car riers with horse hire and wagon equipment. Mr. Aiken made a speech on this sul'jfct, portions of which illuminate the subject of the rural carrier service and the attitude of the postal authorities towards it oon oerniug thc matter of the rural s?-r vioespaytng' iff "dollar's ?ud "cents. He Ad: "^uTba* >t been the poliey of the govertinrent. to measure tho utility of a service by the actual dollars re verting through that service ,to the public treasury ? Is this-the prece 1 dent established in voting hundreds of thousands annually for extra fast service on mail trains? Is this the precedent established in paying bonuses to steamship lines for car rying a few pounds of mail to remote and comparatively unimportant points in Central and South America for the accommodation of a few iso lated American citizens ? Is this the preoedent in voting hundreds of thousands of dollars for pneumatic tube service, for the exclusive ac commodation of certain sections of this country? Who will contend that the government revenues are ^ilcreaBed $1, directly, for $?0 ex pended in any one of the ways we have mentioned ? Why then should we vary the rule when applied to the rural delivery service? Does it count for nothing that this service is linking in daily communication sec tions heretofore remote and isolated ; and that it is stimulating, to a mar velous degree, social and business intercourse between country and town ? Does it count for nothing that this service dispels, in large measure, that isolation which makes life in the country less desirable than iu populous centers?" But it is of the carriers themselves that Mr. Aiken gave most attention and his remarks went to thc details of the oarrjers' work. Said he : "The rural carrier receives #750 at thc most, must furnish his horse and buggy and feed his horse, which rc \ pures an annual outlay of not less than $260. It has boen thoroughly demonstrated that a good horse can not stand constant driving for more than two years, ami that a buggy will wear out in that time, with con stant usc needs no demonstration. Placing then the annual necessary expense to the carrier at not less than ((260, he is expected to ride 26 miles per day, 80Q days in tho year, for less than $460. Is there a clerk, of the thousands in the departments, who would exchange places with tho rural carries, even with an increase Jot* $500 in thc carrier's pay ?" mach and Liver Trouble Cured. 4?r Orino Laxative Fruit Syrup cures sto mach and liver trouble, as it aids diges tion, and stimulates tho liver and bowels without irritating thoso organs Uko pills and ordinary cathartics.

The amend ment whic. he offers' to the appro priation bill is to increase their pay to $841). This is leM than bo for mel ly asked for, but in view of an ovid?nt tlesin- on the part of thu Post Office Department to cut down and cripple the service, be doubtless thought it futile to attempt a greater increase at this time. There ib wis dom Th the old saying that ahalf a loaf is hotter than no loaf." That he., will ultimately.secure au increase hi the pay of the carriers there is little doubt. Persistence is one of his strong Quirns. Once he hail taken up aT fight'for his constitu ents, there is no let up until some thing is doue. A year or so ago he began the fight for the establishment of a bu reau of information on Ellis Island to protect this State from worthless immigrants, and to present the ad vantages of the State to those really worthy of citizenship. The daily papers of the 17th bring the intelli gence that a favorable report on an amendment plumbing the line of his bill will he made. It is through bis persistence and influence as a member of the Pension Committee that al! difficult oases of pension for Spanish War and Mexi can War services have passed the House.
