The Western Associated Press Com
mittee's Memorial to Congress.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The House
Committee on Post Offices and Post
Roads will next Friday consider the va
riOus bills which have been referred to it
relative to the reduction of newspaper
postage. The committee is in receipt of
a memorial on the subject, prepared by
Morrison MumfOrd, ID. r. Locke and
William Penn Nixon, a committee repre-
senting the newspaper publishers
Of the West and Northwest.
This committee was appointed
at a meeting of the Western Associated
Press at Detroit Dec. II last, to call the
attention of Congress to the inequalities
Of the postal laws bearing on the rate
charged for newspapers and periodicals.
The memorial says In part:
Newspaper publishers are not mendicants,
but they claim to have such relations to the
diffusion of light and knowledge among
the people, which we understand was
one of the objects for which the postal
department of the government was created,
as gives them a right TO demand a fair hear
ing and just treatment. The incOngruity in
the law referr, d TO above would, TO a stranger
to our institutions. indicate that the govern
circulating beyond the confines of the county
IN which they are published. We certainly
understand that such Is not the case, but be-
heve that it will be unwise for Congress to
permit such an inconsistency to remain on
our statute books. We hope that you will add
nothing to the burdens OF publishers now free,
but ask that you Will diminish the burdens of
those for whom we speak, -

BAYARD's HESITATION.
He Cannot Wen Afford to Become Sec
retary of State.

Senator Bayard, says a Washington
special, could be the premier of Cleve-
lands Cabinet, but he cannot afford to
make the sacrifice which he would be
compelled to do if he became Secretary of
State. This TACT ought to cause thought
full men serious reflection. Mr. Bayard is

nary acceptatiOn of these terms. He has
modest income in addition to his salary
as Senator. His law practice yields him
a considerable sum annually, and he has
property which is increasing in value.
As he now lives he probably adds some
thlng each year to his comparatively small
accumulatiOns. He has large family.
and by thrift and economy he will be
able, should no unforeseen misfortune
Overtake him, to make some slight proyi-
sion for his children.
If he was to become Secretary OF State
and serve in that capacity four years he
would go out of office bankrupt. With
his Old-tashiened notions of official pro-
prlety he could not practice his profession
during his term of office. This source of
income would not only be gone, but the
practice itself would be necessarily i'm
paired. 1t is prepOsterOus to talk about
the Secretary OF State living on the sal
AIRY. A quarter OF a century ago a Cabi-
net officer could not live on his salary.
Judge jeremiah 5. Black, when he was
made Attorney General by Buchanan, had
practically no income outside the salary
of his office. He was plain, econOmi-
cal, unostentatiOus gentleman, With
out eXtrayagant notions of any
kind. His wife was a model
housewife and his family not ex-
traVagant. With the most rigid economy
his establishment while Attorney General
could be barely supported on his salary.
A few months only in the State Depart
ment, at period vastly less expensive
than now, with far less social require
ments, practically bankrupted him. When
he went out of office he was so poor that
he accepted the appointment OF reporter
OF the supreme Court of the United States.
His dependency was very great. His
extraordinary genius and acknowledged
great abilities in his profession. OF
course, soon brought him a Verv lucrative
practice. In this respect the ATTORNEY
Generalship is different from all other
Cabinet positions. 1t places its occupant
in the first rank of the legal profession if
1t is worthily bestowed. An eX-AttOr-
ney General who has distinguished him
self in that office at once commands a
large practice on his retirement.

LABOR'S LIFTING LOAD.
The Promised Activity in the Iron Trade

The Promised Activity in the Iron Trade
Becoming Apparent at Cleveland.
CLEVELAND, Jan. 20.-The iron trade
is already showing some of the activity
promised, and locally it will bid fair to be
strong and healthy in a short time. The
Union Rolling Mill, which has been idle
nearly three months, will start at its full
capacity Feb. |, and employ 400 men.
President Chisholm, of the Cleveland
Rolling Mill Company, says that in addi-
tion to the five mills already running
about half the full capacity OF the bal
ance will start up in less than four weeks.
This means work for 1,500 men.
The United Brass Company, formerly
the Joel Hayden Works, and a member of
big brass combination, having its shops
in order, has started up with plenty of
work and will employ 600 men. The
works have been closed for three months.
II. c. Montgomery & Co., brass found
ers, also contemplate doubling their 60
men to night and day turns next week.
A CHOICE OF TWO ALTERNATIVES.
LONDON, Jan. 20.-NOtice was con-
spicuOusly posted in the Monmouth Forge
and Tin Plate Works to-day stating that
work would have to be suspended or the
wOrkmen must accept a reduction of
wages. The reason assigned for this is
the continued depression Of the iron trade.

EADs' SHIP RAILWAY.
An Exhibit that Wins Friends for the
Scheme.

An Exhibit that Wins Friends for the
Scheme.
A Washington special Of Jan. II saws:
Ever since the model of the Eads Ship
Railway was placed in the Butler Build
ing, diagonally opposite the southeast
corner OF the capitol, it has been visited
almost hourly by crowds of eager and
interested people. Col. Andrews is on
hand constantly, and an assistant eX-
plains the principles on which it works.
One can witness the whole operation, the
sinking of the carriage, the lifting OF the
ship into place, the transportation over
the railway, the turntable in making
angles, and the lowering of the cradle
and floating of the ship in deep water at
the other end. 1t is certainly wonder
ful piece of mechanism, and all who 500
it are convinced OF the perfect availability
of Capt. Eads' plan.
Every day the belief ir Capt. Eads' plan
gains strength. Congressman, officials of
every grade, and visitors all are delighted
and satisfied.
Col. Andrews has large map whereon
he points out the advantages of the Te-
nuantepec route, the saving of hundreds
OF miles OF travel, and the fact, especially
important to New Orleans, that the high
way would thus be through the Gulf of
Mexico instead of the Caribbean
Sea. Another consideration suggested IS
that sailing vessels going through the Nj
caTagus or Panama canal would strike
the Pacific in latitude out of reach
of the trade winds and be subject to pro-
lOnged calms.
IL is very certain that the exhibition of
this model and the arguments of Col. An
drews are producing a profound impress
sion.
