Two Cent Letter Postage.

The house has enacted that letter postage
on and after January l, 1884, shall be two
cents for each half ounce. 1t is not at all
probable that the senate will refuse its con-
currence. Uncle Sans new years gift to
the people in 1884 may therefore be antici.
pated with good degree of certainty.
That the gift will be just as we'll as generous,
and will not necessarily involve the gov
eminent in deficit in its postal revenues. is a
gratifying feature of the proposed benefac-
ton. During the fiscal year ended June
80, 1882, the value of three cent stamps and
three cent envelopes sold by the government
is reported at S25,474,79S5O. With two
cent letter postage this would have been
sS,49l,6OO less. Experience proves that
each reduction of letter postage has been
followed by a great increase in the number
OF letters sent through the mails. In Eng
land, after the adoption Of penny postage
this increase was more than one hundred
twenty-five per cent. The adoption Of re-
duced rates in this country has been followed
invariably by rapid influx of business
which has not only compensated for the
loss occasioned by reduction but in course
of time has given the department an excess
OF revenue over its expenses. Under this
proposed reduction it is not improbable that
many writers will avail themselves of the
advantages of the secrecy of an envelope
and that letter postage will to greater or
less extent supplant the use of the postal
card. The natural increase in the use of
the mails if the letter rates should remain
unchanged, added to the increase stimulated
by reduction of one-third in the rates
should, with the existing surplus and that
which may accumulate before the proposed
lower rates shall go into effect, make it rea.
sonably certain that two cent postage will
not be attended with loss even during the
first year of the prevalence of the reduction
All these sources of repairs, the natura
increase, the gain stimulated by the reduc.
ton, and the surplus accumulated during
the continued existence of the present rate
should approximate fifty per cent of the value
of the total number Of three cent stamps and
envelopes purchased for the last fiscal year
That number is reported at considerably
less than eight hundred fifty millions Coco
judges believe that twelve hundred and fifty
million two cent stamps will be used in 1884
These would yield revenue equal to that
derived from the sale of three cent stamps
during the last fiscal year. 1t is fair t.
assume that there will be larger natura
increase in other classes of postal revenu,
also, 80 that there would seem to be tn,
highest warrant for this proposed reduction
and certainly no objection to it on the scor,
of any serious deficit in the postal revenue,
by reason of the reduction.

EXPLANATION WANTED.-Those towns
in the state which have voted to accept the
provisions of the act of 1880, authorizing
the selectmen to deliver the tax bills to the
town treasurers to collect, are placed in an
unpleasant dilemma by No. 1875 of the acts
OF 1882, levying state tax of ten per cent
payable on the first day of February next.
The treasurer issued his warrant December
18th for the collection of this tax. The act
Of 1880, referred to above, provides that
taxpayers Of towns accepting it shall pay
their respective taxes within ninety days
from the date Of said notices. Providing
that the selectmen make out the tax bills
and deliver them TO the town treasurer
with reasonable promptness, the tax which
the act of 1882 says shall be paid Febru-
airy LIST will be payable under the act
of 1880, providing for collection by town
treasurers, not much earlier than March Is.
Towns which accepted act No, 80 of 1880
are anxious that the Lawmakers of 1882
shall rise and explain what their purpose
was with reference to them, if indeed they
thought Of them at all ?

SENATORS ALLISON of Iowa and Beck of
Kentucky INDUCED in some uncivil personal
remarks in Saturday nights debate on the
civil service bill. Hamburg Butler of South
Carolina in the same debate having asked
Senator Hoar how it could be known, when
money is used in elections, that it has been
used for corrupt political purpose re-
ceived for answer, "To buy shot guns to
shoot negroes with would be such a pur-
pose" The South Carolinian was livid with
rage as he construed Senator Hoat's severely
practical illustration to refer to the Ham
burg massacre. Butler retorted by citing
as another instance of the corrupt use OF
money the buying of votes and disfranch.
Using 10000 men in Massachusetts,. In the
course of the colloquy he accused Senator
Hoar of implying by inuendo what he dare
not say directly. This thrust started the
blood Of the Bay State senator, who very
slowly and distinctly sat down upon the
Palmetto man with the following al made
no personal illusion whatever to the senator
from South Carolina; l alluded to one form
of political crime in this country without
any thought of individual application to
any senator. l wish to say to the senator
from South Carolina that | never hint or
insinuate anything to anybody. If my
public duty requires me to state any opin-
ion, whether creditable or otherwise, of the
character or h istory of that senator or any
other, shall do it in terms the clearness
and distinctness of which will leave no
doubt as to my meaning"

Railroad Building.

We take the following from the Albany
journal: "There is no more striking evil
dence Of the commercial spirit Of the
age, and Of the enthusiasm with which
the nations of the world have entered
the race for trade, than that afforded by
the statistics Of railroad building. In
1910 the number Of miles of railroad in the
world was less than 5,000 careful estimates,
including only lines which are actually laid,
or will be completed by the end of the current
month, put the total mileage on the first Of
January, 1888, at 26S000 AT that date the
United States will have more. miles in opera
tion than all Europe, and sanguine cslculators
prophesy that II the present rate of build
ing is maintained the United States in 1887
will own more miles of railroad than all the
world besides
These coDjectures have sound basis in
the full statistics Of railroad building up to
the beginning of the present year, which
have lately been printed From these it
appears that of the 249, 200 miles of rail-
road at the close of 1891, North and South
America are credited with 122, 1876 miles
Europe, 10s,002 miles, Asia, 1874 miles I;
Australia and adjacent islands, 5,4Sl miles I;
Africa, 3, 147. The United States led all other
countries, having at that time 104, sl3 miles
Of completed road. The second country in
extent of railroad in Germany, which had
81, 446 miles. Great Britain comes next
with 1921 miles France next, with II, 1l2
miles. Russia, 14,799 miles; Austria, in
Guiding Hungary, 1901 miles, British In
dia, 9036 miles; Canada, 1870 miles, It
ally, 1902 miles; Australasia, 5,4Sl miles ;
Spain, 1887 miles; Sweden and Norway,
4,644 miles, aud all of Africa, 3,l47 miles.
at is becoming serious question whether
or not we are constructing transportation
lines with more rapidity than the trade of
the country requires. If so, the craze seems
to be shared by other nations of the world.
New roads have been under construction
during the year in Russia, Austria, Hun.
gary, Roumania, Servis, Bulgaria and Tur-
key, Algiers, India and Australia and Mex
leo and the South American republics have
made large appropriations for new lines.
"Although, at first blush, there might
seem to be almost no limit to the extent of
railroad building, the statistics by decades
show how rapidly territory is being trav-
ersed by the iron tracks, and how near is
the end. While the totals exhibit an ever
increasing mileage, there is relative de-
crease from period to period. When the
percentage reaches zero the earth will have
full and adequate railroad system. The
following table illustrates both the actual
mileage increase and the rapid decrease in
the decennial percentage. In 1910 the total
number of miles in operation was 4 900:

OUR VERMONT RAILwAYs.-As will appear
from the following extract from the railway arti-
tlcle In recent number Of the Boston Journal,
the Central Vermont and the Vermont and Can
ada railways are about TO emerge from the long
night OF litigation through which they have
passed into the broad daylight of harmony and
consequent prosperity; From the rapidity with
which holders OF securities of this company
and the Vermont and Canada road are depositng
them with the American Loan and Trust Com
pany, the fiscal agents, under the new plan for
recognizing these railroads. 1t is apparent that
the scheme TO take the roads out OF chancery and
place them upon par with other roads has every
indication OF being brought TO a successful issue.
Already more than million Of securities have
been deposited with the Trust company, princi-
pally from the smaller holders, and AS the larger
holders were consulted Ia advance and consented
TO the scheme, large deposits will undoubtedly
be made as the time draws near for the majority
TO give their acceptance, January 10. The Amer
lean Loan and Trust Company, however, have the
power 10 enlarge the time for getting In the
tiles thirty days, II they shall deem it necessary
or advisable 50 to do Those who have large in
terests in these securities, and who have made
careful examination into the present condition OF
the Central Vermont and Vermont and Canada
Roads, as well as the possibilities of the future in
connection with their close affinity to the Grand
Trunk and It's immense system of roads, are con-
hdent that the Central Vermont will, as soon as
the new organization IL completed be placed in a
condition u meet all the promises now made in
Its behalf by the management of the road, and
that the road will thus make for itself history
far different from that Of the past twenty years
In order to fully perfect the reorganization OF the
property 1t is proposed, we understand, that the
iirst mortgage holders Of the Vermont Central
shall secure n foreclosure, followed by sale, all
this to be done by consent OF the junior security
holders, who are TO be protected by the reorgan-
ization scheme. This will give, 1t Is believed, a
clear title to the road. When this is done, 1t is
then proposed TO effect a perpetual lease OF the
Vermont and Canada, and In this manner the
two companies can be brought together and
valid title secured"
