The great experiment of abolishing
the franking privilege of members Of
Congress will more likely be inaugu-
gurated by the Senate, and adopted by
the House, this session. Under the
postage stamp system, the experiment
can be safely tried, and 1 have no
doubt will be successful. The Post
master-General deserves great credit
for his persevering efforts to bring this
reform about. Try that, and do away
with the practice of STIMULATING in con-
tracts for carrying the mails in pas
senger vehicles, which the Postmaster
recommends, and spend less for so ma
ny different routes to the same point,
on the Pacific coast, and then we can
better tell how near the Department
can come to be self-sustaining. IT
will be time to talk of higher rates of
postage, not before.

There is no reason why the produc-
