AGAINST THE FRAMING PRIVILEGE.


WASHINGTON, March 24.-The House ConnnItee
on Appropriations decided to-day to recommend
non-concurrence in the Senate amendment TO The
Post Office bill restoring the franking privilege TO
Senators and Representatives. Several members OF
the committee would be glad TO have the amend
ment adopted. if it could be done without fixing
the responsibility upon them. In conversation
with TRIBUNE correspondent to-day, member
said L" am in fix like that of the lrshnan who,
after taking pledge to drink no more fell Ill and
begged for whiskey which his physician refused
him. 'Pd be mighty glad of the whiskcy'
said he, but I've taken the pledge
and the doctor says can't have 1t;
but l wish could get some inside OF me unDe-
knownst to meself OF the doctor"
There are plenty of Congressman of both parties
who would be very glad to have the franl,ing priv
ilege restored. if it could be done "unheknownst"
TO the people Many of them complain of the pc
cuniary burdens imposed on them by the necessity
of writing many hundreds of letters on the business
of their constituents. The local sentiment Ia wash
ington is favorable to restoration OF the frank
ing privilege. Speaking of this the other day, an
old member of the House remarked 81 can readily
understand that. In the good old days of the frank
ing privilege scarcely anybody in Washington
paid any postage. Why should anyone, when there
were go good natured Congressman always ready
TO frank letters envelopes when asked to do SO
have seen car loads of franked letters and packages
living in the Post Office here at one time. There
were plenty of business men who could get thou
sand envelopes fIaDked at a time. Why should they
pay postagei If the system could he confined to
the free tTansmi ssion of CongresSens correspond
ence il would not be So bad but it cannot be re-
stricted do not know that Congressmens franks
were actually hawked about the streets of Wash
ington for sale. as used to be said, but l do
know that the privilege was shamefully abused
What we ought to do is to make postage cheaper
for all the pcOplc-foT farmers and mechanics, as
Ill. co. LET
itself ard tie people by reducing letter postage to
two cents. The people might as we'll understand
that if tho frauking privilege shall be restored to
Senators and Representatives it will postpone the
day of cheaper postage for the masses"
