SIR ROWLAND HILL, the founder of
the penny post, who just died in Eng
land at the age of "a, had lived in re-
tirement SO long that many supposed
him no longer in the land of the living,
and it is said that a 6piritualist conven-
tion in London three years ago had a
communication" from "the spirit of
the late Sir Rowland Hill recommend
ing halfpenny postage The adoption
of uniform cheap postage in this coun-
try is directly traceable to the labors of
Mr.. Hill. In 1916, and for many years
afterwards, the rates of United States
postage varied from eight to twenty we
cents, according to distance. In 1916,
moved by the success of the new British
system, a law was passed reducing rates
to five and ten cents; and finally, in
1855, the uniform three-cent came in.

Mr.. JENNINGS writes that American
tourists returning to the United States
find it impossible to secure cabin passage
in the steamers unless they have applied
long in advance. Many neglect this pre-
caution, but leave the engagement of
passage to the last moment in the easy
confidence that the steamers at this tins
of year are not at all crowded. "The
consequence is that several friends of
mine have had to put with berths fitted
up for them in the steerage, where the
bad smell, heat and dirt will test their
powers of seamanship in a way which
they are not likely to admire. It is all
a part Of this same business of not taking
proper time to do so or see every thing"

A RAILROAD CAUCUS-ITS IMPOR-
TANCE

Too much stress Can not be laid upon the
essential value of harmony of purpose and
concert of action among those members of
the Senate and Assembly whose purpose it Is
to put check upon the aggressions and
abuses of the Railway Companies doing bust
ness in this State. BaDare Of bills ,Chose SEEM
ing intent 1t is to carry ont your purpose, bnt
,Chose secret n, aip3 IS to Leape this people still at
the mercy Of these morantS! Be just and
honest and stand by your professions and your
colors. Let any man prove recreant and his
power AMI influence as a servant of the peo-
pie and his future chances aspirant to
office are gone forever, Let no partisan
ship-no rivalry or difference between Re
publicans or Democrats be interposed to breed
dissention and variance of purpose. The
common good 80 imperatively demands a
reconstruction of our railroad laws that legis-
lators CAN afford to forget party lines while
working together for the relief of their con
stituents. Let your ASSEMBLING together be
not long deferred; and let your work be done
together in harmony and with the thorough
ness Of simplicity. Thus will be avoided the
webs and snares Of the lobby, (Which is very
powerful, very active and very audacious),
and thus will be avoided that curse of all
legislative effort, confusion and uncertainty
Of purpose and procedure.
