A SELF SUSTAINING POST
sEz4 FTCE. DEPAR TMENT.T

1t is evident from the growth Of the post
Office business, that, with honest, econom'
ieal management, the lime is not lar dis
tant when that branch of the public ser
vice will, like the patent effice, be a. source
of revenue. Increased expenditures will
be necessary from year 10, year, but as the
country fills up the ratio between'th re-
ceipts and expenses will be largely on the
first mentioned side Of the account. II
the future shall not bring US anew brood
of star route swindlers or some other IN
genious thieves, the question OF reduced
postage will be in order. The first thing
to be done now, however, is to make lhe
post Office pay for itself, and it is 10 Inc
credit of the present administration that
this has been practically accomplished.---

Law Expenses.

Twenty-cight years ago a citizen Of
New York, who died in that city, left an
estate worth quarter of a million Of
dollars, which he bequeathed by will 10
his son Of the same name. But the will
was disputed BY the usual courscof law,
and the suit has just terminated in ia
yor OF the heirs, the son being dead.
What remains Of the estate appears TO
be worth about thirty-fye thousand dol
lars. All the rest has been swallowed
up in law expenses. This is not by any
means an exceptional case, but it fairly
illustrates the rapid increase Of the ex-
penses of litigation, especially in refer
ence to property rights; and how much
chance the average public stands of bet
tering itself by resorting to protractcd
legal contests for the settlement Of prop
ety rights, which could and should be
amicably adjusted by compromise. A
still more striking case has recently
made the rounds OF the American press
as having occurred in one Of the law
courts Of the Middle States. A sharp
trckster appears to have taken adyant-
age Of some legal tcchnicality to nsti-
tute suits before local magistrate
against large numbers Of nonresident
property holders and business men up
on bogus claims for small sums OF mon
ey. In all these cases the parties very
well knowing that they owed so much
money neglected to appear before the
magistrate to plead in the cases. Of
course judgment was given against
them by default. Then the game was
to permit these judgments foreman UNI
noticed until after the time had expired
for taking appeals. When that was
done, the claims were put into the
hands of the regular Judicial authorities
for collection, and Of course had TO DO

that could get them interested by civ

a stock company Of it. became the
president, my wife the vice-president,
my son the treasurer, and my daughter

and important questions discussed, such
as 'how to break up sitting hens and
would the company be able to paw
quarterly dividends. We all became
very much interested in our company,
and as it was very successful, the chill
dren purchased all the stock of myself

selves, they taking the whole manage
ment of the hens and disposing of the

that the children aregrown up and away

THAT BENwOOD DEPOT.

We are informed that the City Council
will soon take action 70 induce the Is. & U.
Il. Il. Co. to erect q passenger and freight
depot within the limits of the city. Why
the railroad company has never done so Is
something known only, to themselves. IL
would be unreasonable to suppose t9St a
freight and passenger depot here would not
ee source of profit to the company
BcrWood Independent.
That is a good suggestion. But II the
HdeDcndent has any designs on the
present "BenwoOd station" We are
moved to make some additional sug-
gestlons about the kind of depot it shall
be.
Benwood is kind of relay station to
Wheeling; that is to say, Wheelingtrav-
elers are accustomed to "lay" there,
and to relay there, and to "lay over"
there, and cover lay" there. The citi-
zen who has not been accustomed to
reereate a good part of every year at
BenwoOd station is out of fashion-he
Goes not travel.
In fact, Benwood station is a kind of
summer and winter resort combined to
the city of Wheeling, and the railroad
company is ever ready to furnish first
class facilities to Wheeling travellers
for stopping OVER there. AS much as
four or five hours of recreation is not
unusual at this resort-free Of charge.
The privilege and the pleasure is gener-
ally bestowed, too, without
ceremony and without any fuss or pala-
Yer. Passengers are just set down atthe
station and allowed to make themselves
at home, and to roam at will for half a
day at a time, through the spacious
apartments provided at that point, and
10 enjoy to their full the beauties and
delights of the surrounding landscape.
Coming as it does, in the way of sur
prise, il is all the more delightful.
For these reasons citizens of Wheel
ing feel a special interest in any change
that may be contemplated in the Ben
wood station. There may be some risk
in modifying a popular resort around

cling, but for the entertainment of trav-
elers who stop over longer than four or
five hours it might not be amiss to make
some additions to, without destroying
entirely, some of the existing attrac-
tions. For instance the geological de-
partment in the rear ofthe station might
be enlarged to embrace a greater yarie-
ty of birds other than the barnyard
species, and of animals other than those
suggestive of the farm and the pig-stye.
The green-sward Whereabouts might
he dotted with fountains, and embel-
lished with a greater variety of flowers.
The shady hooks of shrubbery might
De ''set OFF, with rustic seats to relieve
the appearance of art and cultivation in
its arrangement, &c, &c.
These are only suggestions. We are
only concerned that the changes advo-
Gated by our BenwoOd neighbOrs shall
not involve the destruction ofany Ofthe
more venerable and cherished features
of that station. "WOOdman spare that

THE State Journal selects out OF the
REGISTERS report upon the reasseSs-
ment, two or three instances from that
number of counties, to establish what
the Journal is anxious to make appear,
viz, that the principal increase is on
farming lands. One swallow does not
make Summer, nor does the situation
in two or three counties in the State
show what it has been in the tifty-fOur.
There are some counties in the State
where the farm lands have increased
more in value than any other property,
and there are other counties where they
have not. 1t was not the purpose of
the law to put the burden on any par
ticular class of property, but to make
that property which had increased in
value pay according to its value,
whether it be farm lands or something
else. II it should turn out that farm
lands have increased in value more
than any other property, that will make
a good showing for the State, but fortu-
nately or unfortunately, the reports do
not thus far justify that conclusion.

Wire Fences as Telephone,

~. 4. IItIuds
Some observing genius has suggested that
the loneliness of home life on the Western
prairies, where farm houses are often miles
apart, may be alleviated by general util-
izing of fence wires for telephone commu-
nication. As in some sections OF the coun-
try all the fences are of wire most OF the
plant" for several private telephones is al
ready in possession OF every farmer, 50
only terminal fixtures are necessary to
free interchange OF gossip between families
that are too far apart for neigh
borly calls in bad weather. The plan
certainly has attractive features. II it
were adopted, the farmers wife, when so
tired of the monotony of home life that she
can get no comfort indoors except by slap
ping the children and pecking at her hus'
band, can drop INTO rocking chair near
the telephone and chat as cheerful with a
distant neighbor as if she had never had
had a trouble in her life. Then she could
give her husband chance and let him swap
horses and exchange crop prospects with
the "boys" at the nearest village store.
Aside from its convenience such a tele-
phone would be great educator, for when
in use by the gentler sex it would do what
society rules have always been unequal to
it would compel women to talk one at 4
time.

THI,RMAN.

SENATOR THURMAN, in his last
speech in the Senate, stated emphati-
cally his belief that the River and Har-
Dor bill was made up of items, many OF
which were unconstitutional, and he
predicted in the near future veto of
the bill lift should continue to be made
up in this way. He stated that such
executive action was necessary to bring
the attention ofthe American people to
the matter. This view was sustained
by Senator EDMUNDs, who said last
winter that the most unconstitutional
measure that ever passed Congress was
the River and Harbor Appropriation
bill in its form ofreeent years.

Mr.. KENNA's denomination to Con-
yress from the Third district was a fore
gone conclusion. His standing n his dis
trict is as good as it is in the House
that is, first-claSS. Mr.. Kenna has made
a good record in his Congressional
career-better than the majority Of men
who go to Congress. He has risen to q
position of influence and usefulness that
reflects credit upon his abilities and up
on his State. The Third district could
not do better than to keep him there,
and the entire State will endorse his
selection as one of her representatives.
