THE FRANKING PRIVILEGE.

The Senate has voted by large ma
jority to restore the franking privilege,
giving the President, Vice President
and members of congress right to frank
their mail through the post-oAice. A few
years ago this was great political bug
high pitch that congress repealed the
franking law. Now it will probably be
re-enacted. We have never been able
to see the great improperly of sending
certain public documents through the
mails free but why the private mail
matter of the President or any officer of
the government is any more entitled to
a frank than that of any humble voter,
we are not able to see. Every man in
this nation ought to be fairly paid for
his labor, whether he carries the hod, OF
treads the marble floors of the Capitol
and if he is so paid, let him pay his
postage. If congressman are not sufi-
GENTLY paid. let their salaries be raised
but do not suffer them to draw any gov.
eminent pap, in the nature Of perquisites.
The distribution of public documents,
even congressional speeches, is another
thing. The people pay their own post
age, and when there is a deficiency il
the post-Ofice treasury, they indirectly
pay the deficiency, so that any extra ex
pense in sending out public documents
will fall on them. 1t is to be supposed
that most books are worth their postage
and really many of these reports contain
much valuable information that should
be circulated. A wider distribution o
congressional speeches would, no doubt
be of benefit to the people, and we hav,
no doubt but that the people can afforc
to pay the cost of postage, at least, TO
the information gained from this source
