Prepayment Of Newspaper Postage

Prepayment of Newspaper Postage.
The Postofice employees complain Of the
large number of double-sheet newspapers
which accumulate daily at the Postofice in
San Francisco. Newspapers fall under
third-class matter and require the prepay
ment Of postage in full before they can be
forwarded. A great many t~houghtless
persons, in sending 3 double-sheet news-
paper, or even those with a supplement-, to
friends throughout the country, afix a l.
cent stamp, and as q result these papers
are consigned to the waste basket In San
Francisco and their friends never receive
them. If people, in sending papers, would
be more careful about this matter they
would convenience the Postofice employees
and there would probably not be SO many
complaints of newspapers not reaching
their destination.

ALL SAINTS.
HASH.

On one of the northern trains recent.
ly was an old lady, who evidently had
never before made railway journey.
After looking about her for some time
in curiosity, her eyes alighted on the
bell line, and she asked the water boy,
who Happened to be passing at that
time, what it was for. "That, marin" !"
said the boy with twinkle in his
eyes, sis to ring the bell when you
want anything to eat" and passed on.
Shortly after the old lady got down
the family umbrella and, reaching up
to the bell line, gave a vigorous pull.
Of course the breaks were applied, the
windows were thrown up, questions
asked, etc., the old lady sitting calmly
through the confusion. Presently the
conductor came rushing into the car,
exclaiming, "Who pulled that bell!"
Il did" replied the old lady meekly;;
"Well, what do you wantYo snapped
the official, impatiently. WELL said
the old party, meditatively, "you can
bring me some hash"

Director Sturtevant, of New York
Agricultural Experiment Station,
thinks the most desirable uses for coal
ashes is to place them around the
stems of currant bushes, ounce trees
and the mountain ash, in order to
chech the ravages of the borer. Cur
rant bushes 80 treated have for many
years proved extraordinarily thrifty,
and have also been protected from the
attack of the currant worm. Ounce
and mountain ash tree similarly treat
ed have also been greatly benefited.
The ashes for this purpose ere heaped
up about the stem to hight OF per-
haps six or eight inches, and extend

Mr. HorKrS's bill TO establish a
Bureau Of Labor passed the House on
Friday last by vote Of 1S2 tol9.
The House has thus emphasized the
doctrine Of the Democracy to the
cause Of the working people. The
Harrisburg Patriot, referring to this
bill justly remarks:
While bureaucratic government
is to be deprecated, some sort Of Of
fetal machinery for the collection and
publication OF labor statistics has be-
come necessary.
The tariff question which is sure to
be prominent in politics for some years
cannot be intelligcutly settled unless
the relations between capital and
labor are accurately ascertainod.
The census reports throw much
light on the subject of labor, but as
they are made up only once in ten
years they are not 80 satisfactory as
the Investigations Of q properly regr-
lated labor bureau would prove.
1t is therefore to be hoped that the
Hopkins bill will pass the senate and
become q law. The workingmen
should know whether they are helped
or hurt by existing laws and there
is no way by which they may be 50
thoroughly and correctly informed
as by the system proposed in this bill.
1t is entirely safe TO venture the
prediction that IL this bin becomes :
law and the bureau organized under
I does iis whole duty the protection
humbug will be exploded and Mr..
Hopkins will thereafter be elected 10
