HE Railroad Companies and the Mail
&erNieR


We have the following from President Hinck-
ley' OF the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Bal
tmore railway company, in relation to the re-
port OF the General Superintendent OF the Rail-
way Mail Service, upon the issue between the
Post once department and the railway COM
psnies.
The enclosed Slip from your issue of to-day
quotes me a. asserting "tbat periodicals. and
other printed matter should be excluded from
Ibe mails" Inasmuch as ! entertain dismetri-
cally opposite opinion, there il evidently some
mistake IN the quotation. The injustice OF the
EXISTING postal law is not shown in the rates
allowed FER pond Of mail matter. The heavier
fie mails the better for the railroad companies
But the law does not allow those railroad COM
4ahies which are asked 10 furnish postal cars
adequate pay. The Z. VI. and b X. X company
Is asked 70 furnish, and will furnish until the
proT, car service at the rate Of eight cars for
every car load Of mails. And while we carry
Dat little over IL 900 pounds per day, for which
We are pad fair price per pound, we are re-
q7ired 70 furnish for a nominal price carsequal
IL load OF 10000 pounds:
Tie Ohio State Journal has this sound remark
Scattered HumerOusly through its editorial COL
umns:
The way to have more money is to have bet
ter money"
VINO is the friend that Is sending to all the
newspapers and every body copies of California
and Nevada papers with marked articles about
the SutIo tunnel? And who reads them?
m
Newspaper advertising is permanent aidi-
ton TO the reputation of the goods advertised,
because it is q permanent influence always at
work in their int rest.
