THE GorEnNmENr AsA 4 BEGGAR.

Superintendent Vail, of the railway
mail service, says of the difficulties that
beset the postal department in getting a
satisfactory fast mail arrangement:
''The government now pays the Penn
sylvania railroad company twenty-five
dollars per ton per mile per year for car
rying the United States mails over its
lines, without reference to the number
of trains upon which mail matter is to be
carried or the speed at which it shall be
transported. OF course it thus is clearly
for the interest of the company to carry
mail upon as few trains per day as pos
sible, and certainly to dispatch no special
fast trains for the use of the government
if it can possibly be avoided. 1t makes
a vast difference whether the agent Of
the government can go to the railroad
companies, and, in a businesslike way,
request greater accommodations in one
wav or auother, with such and such
COMPENSATION therefor, or whether he Is
forced actually to beg for the increased
facilities he desires. Our postal laws
were enacted long before the United
States mail had grown to such vast pro-
portions, and have for long time needed
remodeling. II is TO be hoped that the
present congress can give this matter the
attention it deserves"

JOHN BRIGH, ron WIR.

Formerly the advoca ~e Of peace a
any price, John Bright has become an
advocate of war at any price. AT Birm-
inham he recently expressed himself in
the following belligerent style: "Why,
seven hundred years ago the people OF
this country, with one Of their heroic
kings, Joined the crusaders, and went TO
Palestine for the purpose Of iberating
holy places from the possession of in
fidels and Mohammedans. What do we
now do9 We give the blood and treasure
of England to the support of the Turk
ish government. We give Bethlehem
and Calvary and the mount of Olives,
through the blood and treasure of Eng
land, and the power over all these vast
countries, which are almost wilderness
under the Turkish sceptre, we do all
this simply to prevent Russia passing
any war ships from the Black sea to the
Mediterranean"
