a1l that rudoness and violence, TINT constant use
of vilGfying opithets, and that Dissertation Of
all the finer feelings, which constantly occur in
political campaigns. As the support. the literal
bread and butter Of papers OF this sort, depends
upon the successful issue OF an election, the
very necessities OF the situation require that they
should be- INSCRIPTIONS in the means they use
independent journalism elevates q newspaper
above such low and gross necessities Having
no narrow partisan ends to subserve, no
ward d-bunmers aud scaltawags to dictato
to it, no man or set OF men to
serve, it il placed in q position where it
can discuss principles from the high moral and
intellectual plane OF their absolute excellence
and necessity.
The last point which Mr.. Beecher made in his
address is that the press is to literature, religion,
art science, and general intelligence what the
ocean is to ships. "It nil bear them up; it
will give them medium and an opportunity
that they never had. All the professions. then,
instead Of being in any sense weakened or sup
pressed BY tho progroas Of journalism, are to be
rather eogthened-he1ped, not hinde1ed."
This, too, is the result Of independent jour
nalsm. Papers that are independent in
Eothing can never do anything for literature,
science, OF religion, because in the first
place they are already too demora1ized
by their political associations, and because the
parties and ciques to which they belong control
their services for other purposea. It is tho in
dependent paper OF to-day which is emphasizing
and illustrating the work OF the school~housc,
the pulpit, and tho book. It is the only medium
OF familiarizing and popularizing science and
general information for those who cannot afford
books and magazines. It is sending it's mes-
sengers far and near, and utilizing the railroad,
the steamship, and telegraph as means for the
diffusion of intelligence among the mAsses. 1t no
longer runs in the rut Of venal politics, subject
to the whims, and caprices, and coGruptions OF
partisans and Office holders, but, on the other
hand, is branching out in every direction, and 30
gathering and collating universal facts that each
days issue is m encyclopedias OF the worlds
daily doingB. rnther than tho mirror in which is
reflected only the narrow conceits and petty
policies OF the ofice-holder rho happens to con-
troll it. Mr. Beechcr's address was graphic and
vigorous statement OF newspaper growth, To
make it logical it only needed statement OF the
cause Of that growth and that cause is found in
independent journalism IS q profession, as
opposed to sery;le and partisan journalism as
very sordid and corrupt pursuit.

Constant alluslon has been made in the for

statement has been made which furnished any
clear conception Of the motives or causes Of the

The Post Office Bulletin, published at Cncin-
brings forward twelve reasons why it considers
postmaster-General CresWall's administration Of
the Department failure. AS an intimation Of
this sort coming from an official Post-Of1ce
sent the grounds Of dissent which the Bulletin
makes. They are as follows: /. His connec-
ton With the Chorpenning claim. 2. His adyo-
cacy OF tho postal-telegraph scheme. s. His
advocacy of reducing letter-postage to cents.
/ His advocacy Of the postal-card system. s..
His advocacy OF an increase OF salary Of 81 600
year to his chief assistants, acd his opposition
to an increase for the letter carriers.
6. His ruling with reference to collect
ing double postage On partially paid
letters. 7. His perversity in adkerlng to that
ruling after it had been shown that the law did
not imply any such penalty. 8. His application
OF the ruling to printed matter. 9. The increase
OF the deficiency Of the Post-Office Department
million dollars year. 10. His commission
ing number Of persons as Special Agents who
are not connected With tho Department, the spe-
cial object Of the appointment being to enable
them to travel free over railroads. II. Because
he has involved the Department in constant tur-
mol. 12 Because his administration has been
oppressive to the business interests Of the coun-
try. II the Bulletin has any further grounds Of
complaint it does not enumerate them, but this
round dozen are sufficient to ahoW that al is
not lovely, even in the Department itself.

from all causes This mortality is less By Is deaths
than that of the week before, and is 81 less than
in the corresponding weak Of last year. This
lmproyement in the city's health is attributed by
the Sanitary Superintendent to the rain which

ment SAW that the King and his subjects
we're acting trescherously with tho Dutch, and
that while they pretended to be friendly to the
Dutch they were in reality secretly negotiating
With France and Italy, explanations were de-
manded. The Acheeneso refused to make any
explanations, whereupon the Dutch declared
war. 4hia il the Dutch version Of tho difficulty.
The Acheenese version is entirely different. By
their statement it appears that, since tho gear
1888, Acheen has been Mussulman State, and
hince 1874 dependency OF the Ottoman En-
pire. In 1777, q treaty Was concluded between
Acheen and Holland, and according to its terms
the Dutch wore allowed to enter Acheen tor CON-
mercial purposes. In 1868, however, the Dutch
attached some dependencies Of Acheen, and af-
forwards they demanded the cession OF some
islands belonging to the King for the purpose OF
erecting lighthouses upon them The Acheen-
csc replied that they could do nothing In the
premises without the consent OF the Ottoman
Court, but In the meantime the King would build
the lighthouses at his Own expense The Dutch
would not consent to this, and declared war, with
theintention Of achieving the conquest Of Acheen,
whereupon the Acheenese appealed to the Otto
man Court. This is the Acheenese version Of
the story, and, II it be true, they will have the
sympathies Of the world in their resistance to
Dutch aggression.

There is disposition among certain people to
criticise the railroad tariffs thai have been made
up to conform to the pro ra.a principle Of the
new Railroad law. 1t is held that the intention
of the law and its makers Was not to increase
the rates at the competing points, but to de-
creaso the immedinte local rates and to retain
the competing rates as they wero. II the Legis-
tature, OF tho people who demanded the passage
Of the pro rata law, believed that this would, or
could, bo the effect OF the Law, they must have
based it on tho belief that tho railroads will
consent to run at loss. No statute could be in
vented and no power asserted which could coerce
them to do this. The fact OF establishing a
lower rate at competing points by no means in
dica:es that business could be done al along the
line ut the same rate. There are number Of
reasons why special rnte may be established
st certain points,-among them, that OF compe-
tition; the fact that the increase Of business
adds to the gross receipts without increasing
the expenses in proportion; the circumstance
that the cost CT handling is the same for
greater or less distance; the advantage Of CEN
tcring trade at common junction like Chicago.
But when it is required by law that one
ratio ehal1 establish all the Others, the
railroads cannot afford to make concessions
that might not be damaging to their interests
under free management, but which would be
ruinous to them under the operation Of the
present law. It is charged in certain quarters
that it is the intention OF the railroads to make
up their tariffs in such way as to render the
law odious to the people but We confess our
inability to discover how the pro rata principle
could be more fairly applied than in the BurGng-
ton j. Quincy tariff. II the doctrine itsoH shall
provo to be unacceptable to the people and
projudcial to important interests, it is certainly
not the fault OF the railroads. There is also
good reason Why the railroads will not under
take to make the law odious by any unfair action
on their part. The Supreme Court has decided
that they may not mako rates which are e1tor-
tomato or unreasonable, and the new Railroad
law prescribes penalties for any violation Of
this principle, which ths railroads do not care to
incur. In the absence Of prosecution, therefore,
it Is fair to presume thas the ralroads are pre-
pared to demonstrate that the new rates, estab-
lished to conform with the new law, arc reason-
able II this be true, then the pro rata prtn-
ciplo Of the law must rest On its own merits. In
the meantime, the assumption is entirely unwar-
ranted that the railroads are purpoae1y making
e1orbitant rates to render the law unpopular.
