Very Careless With the Mail.

On Monday part of the early mail
was carried past Shepherdstown and
did not return until the afternoon
train. On Tuesday nearly all the
mail, including the daily papers,
failed to reach here, but the Sharps-
burg mail was thrown off instead
The postal clerks surely need good
poking up, for their carelessness
seems to be getting greater.

STAMF0RD'S SCHEME
The Senator Advocates His
 Novel Loan Bill.
A REVOLUTION IN FINANCE
Tho Measure Confines Its Provisions fo,
 Loans to Agricultural LandA

A ReGistsr of Labor to be Published.
 Three Contested Election Cases-Ths
 -ariH Bill in the Senats-Mr. Calls
 The serEsant-At-Arms Contest.
 WARRINGTON, May 24.-Mr. Stanford addrsssed tho Senate in advocacy of the bill introduced by him some days ago providing for loans by the Government on agricultural lands.
 '"Ths principle of the Government loaning money upon property" he said, Is completely established in it's present advance of ninety per cent. upon Gov ernment bonds. The tremendous re- suits of energizing this ninety per cent. and putting 1t into activity are appa- rent to all. Equally valuable will be the energizing of the latent forces of real estate. The bill confines its pro- visions for loans to agricultural lands, but in time they will probably be ex- tended to some other kinds of property, and even to municipalities with proper restrictions.
 "Th: Government can without injury to ttsslf place money in circulation by taking agricultural land as security upon the terms psrscribed in the bill No pressure for redemption can be brought to bear, ss only tn ose who are ready to have thsiF mortgages released can mako . claim on tho Government. The Government loans its credit to tho individual In order that tho whole pso- ple may have suficiency of money with which to prosecute their business. Tho money issued under tho provisions of the bill shall be legal tender for all debts, public or private, except interest on the national debt and redemption of patiopal notes. There is no analogy be- tween this scheme and any other 6nan- cisl proposition that was eyex sug- gested
 Under the provisions, the real estate of the country being SO vast, there will always be the possibility of obtaining the money necessary to carry on the enterprises of the country, and when there Is no further use for the money tho borrower stops paying interest and takes up the mortgage upon his farm"
 1p conclusion he said:
 HThs bill, while not perfect, provides for what may. perhaps, not improperly be termed revolution in finance, and I do not expect that it will be adopted until it has been fully considered by the people and has met with their ap- proval. move that the bill be referred to the Committee on Finance" The bill was so referred.
