Mr.. Hamlin's third-class postage bill was
sborn OF many OF its Objectionable features
Before Its passage by the Senate, and in the
main will probably be acceptable to the
country generally. Among the features
eliminated was that establishing different
rates Of postage for different distances. Had
this clause remained there would have been
a lack OF uniformity in regard TO the charges,
since every postmaster would have been
obliged TO constitute himself a Judge In
regsrd To distances and the amount OF post
age requisite in each case. There is still an
Objectionable clause in the bill which is
calculated to embarrass postmasters. The
after are required, In case any article of
third class matter is underpsid when placed
In the Office for transmission, to hunt up the
sender and demand the deficiency, and In
case he cannot be found, to forward the
package If he believes IL was deposited In
good faith, and that the party to whom IL is
sent shall be required TO pay the postage
due. This is virtually re-establishing the
old law, which did not require prepayment
OF postage, since postmasters will find Ii
utterly impracticable to spend their time
hunting up persons who underpay on pack
ages deposited for transmission. The House
should amend this provision.

Very Economical. Indeed.

AS sample OF democratic retrenchment,
this years river and harbOr bill certainl y
leaves a good deal to be desired. Not to put
too fine point on IL, II is one or the most
impudent steals for its size ever log-rolled
through the House
lust look az the figures: The bill appropri-
ates, all told, a little over i've millions. OF
this sum, seven favored states grab some
thing over three millions. Michigan gets
away with the biggest slice, S525, 900. Then
come in order West Virginia. S495,000 1.-THE
chairman of the committee, Mr.. Hereford,
"hails'' from West Nirgiuia); New York,
S4s2 COO; Tennessee, s4i5 900; Texas, SiS2, 800;
Wisconsin, $500 500; Iowa, SI75, eco. Calves
ton gets larger appropriation for It's har-
Dor than the city OF New York. Among the
rivers cared for-besides the Mississippi,
which gets something over SOO,o0O-are the
Great Kanawha, 500, 900; the Upper Mo-
DoDgahela, S2j 900; the New I'm West
Nirginial, S25,Ooo; the COOsa, 1000; the
the Tennessee, 100000; the Wabash,
SIS OcO; the wisconsin, Fox, 800, ZOO.
IL will be seen at glance that the confer
ence of western and southern Congressman
at st. Louis, two or three years ago, not only
meant business but transacted il. No won
der the committee tried 10 conceal the real
character OF their bill by a confrsed, higgle-
dy-piggledy arrangement, scattering the
items for single state-in al least one case
for single river-over half dozen pages.
Even Nj Randall is quoted as saying pub
least three millions too high. A 5000 900
steal-for such prOhigate squandering OF the
public money Is all one with stealing In
these hard times-in a =, 600 900 bill
Yet this bill prOfessedly economical and
reformatOry House passes, without reading.
by more than two thirds vote, suspending
the rules for the purpose Springfield Rep.
Our Springfield cotemporary adds 10 the
above that a fine chance is afforded to the
republican Senate to defeat this House
plunder-grab, but doubts If that body will
avail itself OF the opportunity. We should
say that that doubt was justihable. Judging
by the unblushing manner in which the
Senate increased the Items of the profiIgate
river and harbOr bill sent to il by the House
last year, il will be lucky for the taxpayers
If the five millions OF plumber in the present
bill is not doubled before 1t gets through the
Senate.
