four ounces. This distinction should
not be made; but, instead of equalizing
down, the bill Mr.. WANAMAKER
is pushing raises the rate to
the newsdealer to one cent for
four ounces. Mr.. WANAMAKER looks
at the matter in the hard business light.
Printed matter does not pay its share OF
the cost of the mail service, and conse-
Quently it must be given more tariff.
If the mail service were private BUSH
ness enterprise, dependent upon its
earnings for Sustenance, there would
be propriety in this view of the postal
head. The service has deficiency of
some six millions at present per year.
1t is not expected to be entirely self
supporting. The revenue of the gov
eminent is derived from the customs
and other sources. The army doesn't fill
the treasury; the agricultural depart
ment and others are operated for
the general good at the expense
of the treasury. If the postal
service were to make money, 1t
should not be extended to the new
and sparsely settled regions. As these
fill UP the revenues will increase, and
eventually it may pay its own way.
This is, however, entirely immaterlal.
1t is operated for the benefit of the
people, and this is subserved by the
widest possible diffusion of newspapers
and periodicals. The proper thing for
the department now to do is to reduce
the rate on newspapers to publishers to
that given newsdealers. The changes
in recent years have been to simplify
and cheaper. There should be no turn
ing back now. The provision for a
one-cent drop letter rate in cities should
be expanded to a universal one-cent
letter postage. This Objectionable bill
has passed the senate unnoticed, but
should be amended in the house.

Something Behind 1t All.

Detroit Free Press.
The chief headsman of the admins
tration is to try his skill upon his own
neck in few weeks-so we are told
and will create desirable vacancy for
some other spokesman as soon as his con-
templated Western trip is over. This
same trip to the coast may be the most
innocent of business Journeys, but to
man up tree it looks like plan to
make the Pacific states ''safe" by send
ing out particularly experienced prac-
teal politician, with a pocket full of
improved postal facilities for free dis
tribution where they will do the most
good. 1t is not pleasant reflection,
but it is nevertheless fact, that the
good Brother Wanamaker always has
string tied to the bread which he casts
on the political waters, and that he is
not over particular as to whether the
bread is his own OF the property of the
dear people.

McEinIey'S RuSe.

Quincy Herald.
Mr.. Mckinley desires that his tariff
bill should go,into effect within thirty
days after he has put it through. For
the reason, as he says, that our mer-
chan is would load up'' with foreign
goods, in anticipation of the advance in
duties. That is to say, Maj. Mckinley
does not wish to be i'll any degree baffied
in his effort to prohibit foreign COM
merce to American citizens, which is
pretty indicative that he appreciates
what will be probable OF doubtful effect
of the measure.

BIaine's Level Head.

Cleveland Plain Dealer
r 1t is reported on the authority of Joe
Manley, of Maine, confidential friend
of Blaine, that the secretary of state
has given up all hope of ever being
elected president, does not believe that
Harrison will be reelected, and is driv-
ing stakes to be chosen United States
senator to succeed Senator Hale, whose
term expires in 1898. This is pretty
good evidence that the shrewd Mr..
Blaine perceives that the next president
will be Democrat.

QUID PRO QUO.

Mrs. HARRISON is the proud possessor
of cottage at Cape May, which was a
gift from some Philadelphia gentlemen.
The gift was surprise to the amiable
mistress of the White house, but she
was not sufficiently surprised to decline
acceptance of the deed to the prop
city.
On the face of it this is a private
transaction, with which the public has
no concern. But when we dive beneath
the surface we observe a point that is
of public interest, and it is of that we
propose to speak.
If Mrs. HARRISON were not the wife
of the president of the Uuited States,
would she to-day be the owner of the
Cape May cottage?
The good old lady is pretty we'll adj
vanced in life, and according to her own
statement this is the first piece of real
estate she ever owned. If she had con-
tinued to live in indianapolis, as the
wife of plain Lawyer HARRISON, would
ever it have occurred to Mr.. WANA-
MAKER and his friends to present her
with home at a famous summer re-
sort?
The point that the public is inter-
ested in is the indirect method
these Pennsylvania protectionists have
adopted in bribing the chief executive
of the nation. The chief magistrate of
this great country has no right to allow
himself to be placed under obligations
to any individual. This was the view
that ANDREW JOHNSON took of 1t when
some admiring friends presented him
with span of horses soon after his in
auguration. He thanked the donors,
but declined the gift.
If the present of the Cape May cot
tage was intended as an expression Of
good will for Mrs. HARRISON, the do
nors took most inopportune time to
manifest their kindness. She needed it
more before she became the mistress of
the White house than she does now,
and it would come in better place to her
after after Gen. HARRIsoN's 5000 sal
airy has been stopped.
There would be no ground for criti-
cism if she had received the gift either
before OF after her residence in the ex-
ecutive mansion. But as things now
stand, it was very doubtful compli-
ment. CEsAR's wife should not only
be pure, but above suspicion.

THE McKINLEYITEs as expected, find

wanted. 1t is hard to explain the voting

reelection of an unadulterated MCKIN-
LEY follower. Perhaps they were too
far away to understand the motion.

wick, recently. Before committing the
rash act, the self-murderer, w. II. T..
Jones' dug his grave and placed rough
collin OF his own make at the bottom.
The dirt from the grave was kept from
rolling back into the excavation by
boards held in place by trigger, to
which a string was attached. Every
thing in readiness, the deliberate Mr..
Jones, as subsequent developments re-
vealed, got in the coffin, took a dose of
poison and then pulled the string and
was buried beneath tons of dirt. 1t is
