broken up by riotous interference. His best
partisan claim is that he thereby gained
crown of martyrdom; but even If this be
conceded, his ''great services will be searched
for in vain, and his power to exert adiscernable
influence upon intelligent voters of any ma
honality is as questionable as his general
capacity or his popularity in a community
which, instead of regarding his appointment
with universal satisfaction, would deem it
a serious and unmistakable blunder.
If Commissioner Delano and Secretary Bout
well wish to disgust the people of this State
and bring the whole Internal Revenue SER
vice into universal disrepute and well-merited
disgrace, they cannot go about the business

THE FRANRLNG ABUSE.

PosTNAsTER-G GENERAL CREswELLs assertion
that the franking privilege costs the Govern
ment five millions of dollars annually, it
seems, has aroused the indignation of certain
Senators and Representatives in Congress,
and our Washington correspondent informs
us that statement is being prepared to show
that it puts the Government TO yearly ex-
pense Of only one million Of dollars. The
difference between five millions and one is
quite material, even in this country; but it
will strike the ordinary citizen who is re-
quired to pay the postage upon letters and all
other contrivances which he sends by mail
that even this solitary million is worthy the
attention Of Congress. 1t is true that the ex-
ercise of the franking privilege is not re-
stricted to the members of Congress, but it
is equally true that they fairly monopolize it,
and that this million of dollars would be prac-
tically saved to the country by requiring them
to pay their own postage. The Postmaster
General is unquestionably the best authority
on the cost of the franking abuse; but even
taking it at the lowest estimate, as made by
officials who are interested in its perpetua-
ton, it gives an average of over three thou
sand dollars to each Senator and member of
the lower house. If an annual allowance of
one thousand dollars were made to each Con
gresham for postage, hundreds of thousands
of dollars would be saved every year by the
Government, and there is but little doubt
that even the members themselves would con-
trive to put aside the larger portion of the
allowance. A reform scarcely less imperative
in the item of Government printing would
also be rendered feasible, and altogether the
yearly amount saved to the Government
would be counted by millions.
