tacks to undermine his administration.
POSTAGE on FOURTH CLASS MATTER

Senator Wilson, of Iowa. has introduced
bill in that body doubling the rate o
postage on fourth class matter. Senate
Wilson may not be aware of the fact, bu
nevertheless it is fact, that his bill, if i
becomes law, will cut off from the PEG
pie matters of interest that are education
al in their tendency.
Illustrations are becoming very popu
lar even with first class papers, simply
because these illustrations are interesting
to the subscribers. For instance, on the
22nd of February, THE STATESMAN pub,
lished historical sketch of General
Washington, the main points of his ca.
reer as a soldier and statesman. This
letter was accompanied by illustrations,
giving a good electrotype picture of
Washington, Martha Washington, Mount
Vernon and other historical scenes and
places connected with that distinguished
gentleman's personal and private history.
Such electrotypes were secured through
the convenience of the express by The
STATESMAN, but there are numerous news
papers that have not this advantage, and
the increase of postage on this kind of
matter would deprive such papers of af-
fOrding similar advantages to their
patrons, doing them, as well as their sub
scribers, an injustice.
There is another consideration that
ought to deter members of congress from
passing such an act, and that is the agri-
cultural interest of the country would be
seriously Inconvenience by it. Fourth
class matter includes seeds, plants and
samples; and for this class of matter
four cents per pound is charged by Canada,
and is carried by the United States postal
service en- route from points in eastern
Canada to the northwestern British pro-
vinces for four cents pound, while for
the same service, the United States
charges its own citizens sixteen cents, or
four times as much as it charges foreign
ers for the use of its postal facilities,
showing that the rate is too high and I'M
necessarily oppressive on the citizens of
this country.
In England, Germany, France, in fact
all over the world, this kind of matter is
as very beneficial to the peo-
pie, and is charged for mach less than in
America.
Postage is little like the right of suf-
frage, it is very easy to increase its facili-
ties, but once increased, it is very hard
and unpopular to restrict either.
1t is to be hoped that our representa-
lives in congress will see to it, that this
franchise to the people is not
but rather, that while attention
mas been called to the matter that more
liberal system will be adopted, putting
he citizens of this country ON the same
basis as those of other countries.

SWAIN AND THE DEFICIT.
Limestone New Era.
The most nonsensical twaddle ever in
dulged in is the charge that Swain forced
the suspension of cash payments at the
state treasury to fulfill prediction that
he made in 1888; that further reduction
of taxation would produce deficiency in
revenue. The long and short of the def
cheney is that there was not money
enough in the treasury to pay what the
state owed.

THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION.

Austin is the best place to hold the
democratic state convention. The fact
that it was selected as the most appro-
pirate place for the capital is an evidence
that it would be most convenient to the
delegates from any part of the state.
This city has been in the habit of enter
tanning through entire winters. the legis-
lature of the state, and has the best ac-
commodatiops for that purpose. Public
men are in the habit of coming to Aus
tin, and they have their places at the
numerous hotels and boarding houses,
and all they have to do is to write here to
people whom they know, to keep
them their former rooms for the
time of the convention. In the mean
time the Driskill hotel, one of the hand
soonest, most complete buildings for hotel
purposes, will be finished and furnished
with all modern luxury, offering quarters
to the largest number who may desire to
attend the convention, and at the same
time attend to business with the land
office and other state departments.
Nearly every delegate will have some bust
ness with the departments, and if the con-
vention is held here both purposes may
be attained at single trip and single |
expense.
Other cities not so much in the habit of |
large bodies of people, are
imperfect in their arrangements, and such |
assemblies are generally more expensive
than profitable to those cities. Austin |

ments notice. No expenses will be in

The deliberations of the convention, and
rooms, and the democratic
party of the county promise to pay all
expenses and all other expenses
to the convention. Many dele
gates will be old members of the legisla-
lure, or lawyers who want to come to
Austin, anyhow, on business, and many
will be delegates who have, perhaps, never
'een to the capital of the state, and would

abroad facilities make it most conven-

Let us have the convention at Austin
where everything will work in perfect

Glorious News.

The arrival of two large freight teams this morning in front of Sum- merfeld Bros store, caused our re- porter to pause while going the rounds of the city for news. After waiting few minutes he observed several large packing cases being unloaded. This excited his curiosity, and he repaired to the interior of the store where he found them being unpacked, and no- ticed that they were filled with boys and mems clothing, which are espec- ially suited for the holidays.
 We also observed several cases which contained full line of holiday presents such as silk handkerchiefs, plain handkerchiefs, embroidered handkerchiefs, initial handkerchiefs, and in fact almost everything that is suitable for holiday presents. MT. Summerfeld stated to us that he had employed force of six extra clerks, so that everybody could be waited upon at once and not be kept waiting. We would advise all parties desiring holiday goods, or who would like to make their lady or gentleman friend a suitable present, to visit the store of Summerf9ld Bros, and they will find what they want. 12-21 If

MOreI Indians.

From Mir. L-Barber. .Mho has just returned from the Santa Rittas, stated to our reporter that last evening he camped at the Mescal Springs, and that Solon Grist's team containing two men came across two mounted Apaches last evening just about sun down, but the Indians made nc attack upon the wagon, but started off north in the direction of Benson. It was unfortunate that the teamsters were unarmed, else we might have had a couple of scalps. The Indians passed ahead of the team and about 100 yards. As soon as they reached the camp they informed the military, and this morning, detachment of six men and some scouts were sent out to look for the tIail.
 This afternoon another report reached town that some men cutting hay about ten miles from the city were run into camp by band of Is Indians who opened fire on them for tunately injuring no one. We could not find the party who brought the news in, consequently we cannot give the particulars.

 During this quarter, the average daily number of indoor patients has been IA sixty-six one-hundreths, or 1349 for one day.
 Many persons have been treated as Out-patients, chiefly Mexicans, who make the most simple ailments an ex- cuse for an attempt to secure the comforts of indoor treatment.
 Three non-indigent persons have availed themselves of the advantages of the hospital, but so far no money has been received from them in liqui- dation of their accounts; but I have every confidence in their desire and ability to pay their indebtedness.
 As shown above, the total expendi- ture amounts to $1,S1490; showing an average daily cost per patient of $1.344.
 The improvements made since last report, consist as follows:
 a-Painting inside of hospital, a measured area of 1900 square yards.

NOTICE!
To the Occupants of Lots on the
 "Way UP'' Mining Claim = Surface.

have heretofore notified you tha own three-ffths of the surface ground of the Way Up mine. 1 now notify you that claim no right to said ground against anyone who has been in possession of a lot or lots thereon for five years, as l think the five years statute of limitation com menced to run on September 22, 1880, when the patent to the townsite is- sued. But, in any event, would not disturb anyone who has improvements on a lot for several years; unless, in the case of one who has indentified himself with those who fraudlently obtained the townsite title from Alder Randall, Mayor, or who now buys or has lately bought of them, or given them aid or assistance.
 But, as to all of the lots on said Way Up mine now vacant or unoecu- pied, or that have lately been settled on or bought from the townsite claim ants, or claimants under the Way Up mine, will assert my rights, but will sell at a reasonable price, reserving my right to refuse to sell to anyone who, by purchasing lots as aforesaid from other claimants and paying for more than two-ffths thereof, or who has unidentified himself with the frauds.
 N. B. The two-ffths interest in said Way Up surface which I do not own or claim, does not belong to any one in Tombstone, as near as can find out by the records of the county.
