CHEAP POSTAGE.

A bill has been introduced in
Congress reducing postage on let
tiers from 3 to 2 cents. The growth
of the postal system has been a
wonderful thing. Thirty years
ago, when letterpostage from the
Pacific to the Atlantic was 25 cents
and our country had a population
about one-hslf that of to-day, the
receipts of the Post Office Depart
ment were only five million dollars.
With uniform rate of 6 cents in
1860, and population one-fourth
greater than in 1850, the receipts
rose to sixteen million dollars. In
1880, with uniform rate of 8
cents, the receipts have gone up to
thirty-fve millions. This increase
is not all due to cheaper postage,
but the greater part of it is un>
doubtedly, and with still further
reduction may be expected a cores
ponding increase in future. 1t is
wonderful thing that by any sys-
tenn letter can be carried five or
six thousand miles, handled by at
least dozen men and at cost of
only 3 cents to the sender. Yet
such is the perfection of our postal
system. And, cheap as this is,
there are millions who believe it
can be done for 2 cents, who will
never cease thinking so until their
theory is given a trial and disprov-
cd. In England the experience has
been Identical with that Of our own
country, though in proportion, con,
sidering the average length OF the
routes, postage is much higher
than in the United States.--Ex.

The Seattle "Post" publishes the
following "sarly reminisoenoe Of
Puget Sound" On the 25th day of
May, A. D. 1925, D. S. Smith (now
a resident of Seattle) embarked at
Nantucket on whaling voyage to
the Pacific. The voyage to the
Sandwich Islands occupied some
nine months including a short stop.

At the Sandwich Islands Mr.. Smith
left the slip, and after short resi-.
dence on shore, embarked on a fur
trader as armorer for the ship, for a
voyage to the straits of San Juan
De Fuca. They entered the straits
without charts in July or August,
1926, and came somewhere in the
neighborhood Of Port Discovery,
where they drove brisk trade with
the Indians for furs. Some little

AFFAIRS IN IRELAND.
San Francisco "Call.r


The letter OF Michael Davitt,
which was published in Mondays
"Call," gives an inside view of the
conditions upon which an Irish
tenant retains holding. There is
really no such projection for such
tenants as the law affords the most
insignificant person in this country.
There seems to be no such thing
recognized as permanent or uniform
rent. The landlord fixes the rent at
the highest point he thinks the ten.
ant can pay. The more skillful the
tenant in the cultivation OF land,
and the more frugal and industrious
he is, the more rent he can pay. Mr..
Davitt instances the Ormsby estate,
on which there are seventy three
holdings, the government valuation
of which was G596 1885,, but which
the owner or agent had raised to
1924 IS. The lands are described
as having been all reclaimed by the
tenants at their own expense, and
without aid from the landlord. This
is but one case; but If there is one
there may be more. 1t is quite
enough to know that the tenant has
no protection against the rapacity of
the landlord, without going to the
trouble to ascertain that the land
lord abuses his power. Any class
entrusted with irresponsible power
will abuse it. If every individual
does not, enough will to make the
experiment fatal to the peace OF
country. "Call" dispatches now say
that there is a movement among
landlords looking to fair rent, fixity
OF tenure and free sale. Ii this
movement had commenced before it
became question between that and
no rent at all, it might have saved
the present trouble; but it is quss-
tion now if the agitation can be al
layed without more radical measures
than landlords will be likely to pro.
pose. There is also prospect OF
spread of the agitation into Eng.
land, where the demands of the land
lord exhaust nearly all the products
of farm, though the tenants rights
are better recognized by law

been despaired Of by the previous at
tendants Amputation at tke thigh
was promptly decided upon and skill
fully performed by DR.. Pierce, and as
after treatment to purify the blood and
prevent recurrence of the malady the
doctors Golden Medical Discovery was
freely prescribed. The mans system
was thoroughly purified and strength
ened, he rapidly gained his health, the
stump healing nicely, and be is to-day
a happy man. This case was among
the first in which this wonderful blood
purifier was tested. 1t has since man.
