Letter Postage.

The statement in the report Of Post
master General Villas that wise econ
omy may soon admit of reduction OF
letter postage to one cent has revived
discussion of reform, the arguments
in favor of which are familiar to our
readers. We see no good reason why
the change should not be made by
the present Congress at this winters
session. Any temporary deficiency
that may occur can be met by small
portion of the existing surplus. There
is no excuse whatever for postponing
this necessary and ben sticient m easure,
and the member Of Congress who in
troduces it will lead in tbs race for
populurity.-Reno Gazette.
To the above the Elko Independent
very truthfnlly replies
We object to any further reduction
in the rates of letter postage, as we
believe the present rate, cents for
carrying letter weighing one ounce
or less to any part of the United States,
is already sufficiently low, while the
salaries of Postmasters and Others eD-
gagged in handling the mails is too low
for the good of the service. The diff
ference of one cent in the postage on
letter is nothing in comparison with
the importance of rapid transit and
prompt delivery of the same 10 the
person to whom it is addressed; and
we argue that it would be poor econ
omy to reduce the rates of postage on
mail matter while the compensation
of those engaged in handling the
mails is inadequate to secure the most
efficient service. Let the present rate
remain, increase the salary of Post
masters and carriers to such an extent
that there will be no delay for the
want of force to forward all mails
promptly, and pass a deficiency bill
to cover any deficit which may occur
in revenues of the Postoffice Depart
ment on account of the increased ex-
penditures.

Senator Stewart has introduced q
bill which has for its objects the ex-
animation and payment of the various
Indian war claims of the people of the
State of Nevada and several other
Western States and Territories. He
says 1t is undoubtedly easy to pass
the bill in the form in which it is pre-
sentsd, as it is but slight amend
ment to existing laws, and the Secre-
tary of War has intimated he would
approve it.

Courage to speak and act Is the
great need of our times. A man s
honest convictions are often held at a
discount by scoffing world. If he
speaks out, he will be jeered, or, per-
chance, he scorned by some namby-
pamby, hypocriticsl good people.
Away with the fear, modesty or diff
dence which prompts this feeling.
Let every man DO honest and true to
himself. TELL the truth" if you
please; it will triumph at last.

The Carson Mint Recomms nded to b
Closed.

James P. Kimball, Director of the
Mint, in his annual report for 1887,
recommends the final closing of the
Branch Mint at Carson on the follow
ing grounds:
The convenience afforded to few
local depositors the past twelve months
was ut a cost Of Is per cent. of tae
value of deposits.
The producer Of Nevada bullion. for
whose supposed benefit the Branch
Mint was established, has as a rule
found it for his own interest to de.
post his bullion in San Francisco.
While the cost of coinage is five
times that of the same kind at other
MINIS, the net cost has proved not less
than IS per cent. of the spot value of
deposits. cost, as held by The Bureau
as prchibitory.
The report concludes as follows:
Under the circumstances above set
forth it becomes my duty to recon-
mend, for the good of the mint service,
that the Mint at Carson be finally
closed, that its machinery and other
equipment be distributed among the
several MINIS and assay offices, and
the building applied to some other
public purpose.

New YORK;. Unemployed.

The World has ascertained that
there are at least 100000 persons idle
in this city at present, and that not
withstanding the seeming general
prosperity, starvation menaces many
persons who want work but cannot
get it. The employment agencies are
full of persons looking for work for
whom nothing can be got. Slack
times are reported in most of the
trades, all rnen who work on build
ings being laid off. Of the above
numbrr the superintendent of the
Working Women's Protective Union
says 10000 are women. The police
stations every night are filled with
persons unable to pay for lodgings,
and charity organizations are besieged
by hungry men and women. The
prospects for the Winter months seem
TO indicate that this army of unem-
ployed will be increased before the
Winter is over.

MIR. Robsrsson's Joke on Mr.. Cotton.

uAts kNuDSAkoOH , jOAe SAA ASAAs ~NAA1As
In the House last night during the de-
bate ex-senator Goodwin pool bill. which
Mr. Cotton strenuously opposed. Mr..
Robertson, of Baltimore city got of the
following joke on VT Cotton. to the eff
ect that Ia the last campaign 10 Baltimore
he had conducted his campaign with q
Bible in enc pocket and bottle of whis-
kew in the other In this bill Mr. Cotton
had getten the Bible aud whiskey some
what mixed. He said that Mr.. Cotton
favored the amendment which would not
practically do away with pool-selling.
He said that the Court of Appeals had
decided that pool selling was not y crime,
bu. that the bill would make it one. Il
was an evil which was doing the greatest
harm among young men In Baltimore,
and has caused many defalcations aud
failures in business. He admitted
fondness for horseracing as . sport, but
not as gambling device. By ab0lishing
pool selling from Baltimore, where It il
carried on the year round. to Hmlico,
where il is INDUCED In two weeks Of each
year, the evil would be greatly lessened.
AIR. Cotton said that he was still IN q
good humor he said that the gentleman
(Nr Robertson) had told stories so often
that, like an old man downin Sc. Mary's
he firmly believed they were true. he
denied that he had com1ected the cam
