The Lost Letters Of Il Year.

The annual report of Colonel
Parker, Chief of Post Office Insrec-
tons, exhibits a gratifying state Of
efficiency III the department, as re-
lates 10 the comparative safety of the
mails. There were carried through
the mails during the fiscal wear end
ing June 30. 1852, ?,i27 ,922 register
ed letters and packets. Complaints
We're made of losses. which, upon
investigation. resulted in establish
ing that. Of Il given number of com
plants. I ,u16 had sustained no loss
and in 1913 actual loss had occurred
There were still under investigation
23l3 cases, and If the p,oportionate
loss In these cases proved the same
as in those already examined. there
would remain to be added to the
years losses 233, which would make
the SUN total 72G.
There we've q ,527 ordinary letters
reported lost, Is, $50 with valuable
enclosures and G,347 without con-
tents of value. OF these, 2.175
were found to have been delivered,
leaving 1882 unaccounted for.
The total number of letters and
pieces of all kinds delivered is not
given, but the aggregate must have
been something enormous. Us III the
112 cities in which the carrier system
was in vogue the number of pieces
collected and delivered amounted to
,l43, sis, 1857. A loss of about 30
600 pieces even from this amount
alone would be an extremely small
percentage.
These losses it will be observed
were from all causes-fire, burglary;
highway robbery, casualties, such as
railroad accidents, and ordinary
thefts. During the year 3S7 offices
were broken open and robbed, 116
were burned and 80 mails were
robbed by highwaymen. That from
all these causes there should have
been a real loss of only about 20, 900
letters during the year seems almost
incredible and says everything for
the extreme perfection which our
postal system has STAINED.

A PLEA FOR WOMAN STUFF RAaE.-At
the laying Of the cornerstone of q
new courthouse in Madison county,
Indiana, at which ceremony certain
tax-paying women were invited to
participate in the proceedings, one Of
them read an elaborate address in
which we find the following plea for
the cause: Gentlemen, the tax
paying women of Indiana are not
aliens; they are not children; they
sre not ignorant; they are not felons,
fools, nor lunatics; but they are your
own sisters, wives, mothers and
daughters; members of your
churches, inmates of families and
citizens of your county. They were
educcted in the same schools; they
read the same newspapers; they
speak the same language; they have
borne the same burdens; they have
assisted in the development of your
country. they pay the same taxes.
You cannot represent them. They
look upon the whole world from q
different point of view. They rep
resent domestic and moral interests
of our country, and are vitality con-
cerned in the questions of education,
economy, temperance, purity and
peace. and they are demanding suf-
frage-not only as human, but as a
divine right"

The Presidents Power.

Sreakinc of the power of the
President, the .lnrrc'an H'J'S'"r says:
The Presidency of the United States
was, in the beginning, small ait ar
The ruonstrosity was simply III EN-
bryo. Washington eschewed any
ostentation, and refused to receive
anv salary whatsoever. barely requlr-
ing his necessary expenses to he
paid. But his example, though
sublime and imposing in moral
poipt of view, created but little i'm
pediment in the pathway of ambition
and cupidity. Power once enthroned
soon brings around it the pomp and
ostentation of royalty. For many
years the salary of the President was
fixed at s25 600 a year, but although
the Constitution provides that he
shall no, receire any Other emolumed.'
etc, yet his emoluments in the form
of the payment of expenses OF the
executive mansion were regularly in
creased until they exceeded the
amount of $4,000 year. And
after this, without any reduction on
his emoluments, the Presidents
salary was raised to fifty thousand
dollars q year. And now the
courtiers, sycophants and parasites
who swarm about the White House
are proposing an increase Of the
Presidents salary to one hundred
thousand dollars year. This ag-
grandizement of the President is
simply an indication of the boldness
of the advocates of the royal prerog-
alive. By the Constitution the
President is invested With the SUI
preme executive power of the United
States, and made conmander-in- chief
of the army and navy, and through
his subordinates and agents he COL
lects aud disburses the revenues of
the government, amounting to some
four hundred millions of dollars an
nually. He has control of the foreign
relations of the country, and the
treaty-makiny power, the power of
appointment over the Federal judici-
airy, and he exercise veto power
over the legislation of Congress.
Besides all these, he has the power
of appointments and removal of over
more than q hundred thousand public
officers of the United States, and an
influence over more than double that
number Of applicants, aspirants and
expectants of official patronage. Add
to all this, that he is the head and
recognized leader of the dominant
party, to whose partisans be dis
penses his vast patronage, and
through whose support and aid he
Yields his immense powers. Con-
template all this, and deny, if you
can, that the President has become
monarch of more enlarged powers
than the King of England ever e1-
ercised. The fptus soon passed its
period of CESSATION, and the mon
archy, call it by whatever name you
may, has been brought forth in its
full development. The centraliza-
ton Of power in the hands of the
Federal Government has subordinat-
ed the States, sacrificed the sover-
eighty and salutary checks of homo
and State rule, absorbed the supreme
control of the civil authority under
our political system. If Alexander
Hamilton were now living, he would
realize more than his most ardent
wishes in the conversion of our
Federal system into monarchy.

A Bold Position.

The position held by Judge Black,
in his argument before the House
Judiciary Committee on the constitu.
tionslity of the Edmund's bill to
punish polygamy in Utah, is that the
matters which these laws relate to
were in their nature more purely
domestic, private and local than any
other to which human legislation
applies. The Mormons have a right
to make their own laws. On this
subject tLeir right belongs by nature
and it is the great principle of uni
versal law to every separate COM
munity to settle upon public lands,
with the consent of the Federal
government. When these people
colonized themselves beyond the
limits of State, they did lot leave
their liberties behind them. That
freedom of a community results
necessarily from the freedom of the
individuals that compose it. This
was the very principle that triumphed
in the success of the Revolution,
and no one can deny it now, except
for the occasion, which would have
made him tory in 1776. The right
of local self-government is reserved
by the Constitution to the people of
Territories as distinctly and clearly
as to States, and subject upon
which Congress cannot legislate in a
State is manifestly beyond its power
in Territory.
What is called the Edmunds' bill
but what the Senator of that name
certainly did not draw up, expressly
puts its constitutionality on the ex-
elusive jurisdiction of the United
States in Territories. Judge Black
denounced this as simply a fallacy.
No such jurisdiction is given, nor
any jurisdiction at all over local
affairs in Territories more than in the
States. The powers not given are
withheld. This is mere usurpation,
and a gross violation of the consti-
tuition which is willfully committed,
and it is heinous. Judge Black con-
cluded with the assertion that the
bill is one of pains and penalties,
not to punish polygamy, but to
strike whole people of a Territory
with the blasting curse of political
slavery. He protested against all
this legislation as perfdious out
rage upon the personal liberty of a
people who are, and of right ought
to be, free.
This bold argument of the destin-
guished jurist will awaken much
thought upon the vexed subject,
and lead to better understanding
of the controversy resulting from
what the Mormons regard as an en-.
croachment upon their natural
rights. 1t requires the exercise OF
considerable nerve for public man
like Judge Black to assume the
championship of cause which has
hitherto received universal condem-
nation, without the admission of bare
possibility that .here could be a
semblance of justice in it or any
sincerity in the professions by which
n was s,,sfainpd
