lation is "good--very good" The Salem,
N. j., Standard casually alludes to us as
sour bright contemporary EVERY EVEN
ING" Such unsought expressions Of
kindly good will, accompanying the most
casual illusions to this paper are Of course
exceedingly pleasant.
The New York Nation locates the muir
der of Turner by West, to which 1t in
cIdentally alludes, by way of illustration,
as having occurred in Baltimore.
The election Of another man for Coilec
tor means that Archie Given was defeated,
and at that all good men In this slty with
out regard 10 party will rejoice.
We respectfully suggest to Senator RE
die that al the newspapers Of the State
are none too many in which to publish
any proposed Constitutional amendment
This Ia not bid, as we would not adver'
tise for the State unless we had some per
sonal assurance from an individual ofheel
that eur bills would be paid without ar
impudent and dishonest revision and cut
ting down by an ignorant committee o
the Legislature. This has been the custom
for years at Dover.
We congratulate the House of Repre-
septatives at Dover on the evidence o
good sense on the part of a majority o
Its members given yesterday in defeating
Mr.. Wilds' fool resolution.
Delaware state journal. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1870-1883, 1873-02-15

The Farnsworsh bill now pending in
Congress, provides for the prepayment Of
postage on all printed matter placed in the
mails, including newspapers mailed to
subscribers, except weekly newspapers in
the county In which they are published.
There is no good reason for such an excep-
tion that we know Of, but if made at all
it should include daily az well as weekly
papers. 1t is proposed, however to re.
1ueo the price of postage on daily papers
to IS cents a quarter, which lie just half
the present price under the present undis-
eliminating laws which make the postage
on all papers alike, without regard 10 siae
or weight,
This will be better for the newspapers,
but ii will not be better for the Depart
meut. What is wanted is that the Post
Office Department shall receive with Ger.
tainty a moderate postage, instead Of get.
ting an uncertain proportion Of a nominslly
large postage. To accomplish this, what
Is needed lie that all postal matter shall be
prepaid when mailed, and in order that
such prepayment shall be fair, It should
be by weight. Put a pair of platform
scales In the post office, throw tue news
paper mail on it, and let the publisher pay
so much pound for whatever he sends
Then tn Government will deal only will
responsible parties, and be sure of ii
| money.
