THE PosToFF1cEs FETTERs.

Braddcck may take some comfort in the
fact that it has lots of company in not get
ting the postal service its population war
rants. Complaints, because the system Of
free delivery is not extended in accord
with the growth of population, come from
all corners of the land. 1t is not tha Post
Office Departments fault, but its misfor-
tune. 1t hasn't the money; available
appropriations are exhausted, and no more
money can be had till Congress votes some.
Here the rub comes in. Congress is not
willing to appropriate sufficient money to
meet the inevitable growth of the demand
Tor postal facilities. The appropriations
are kept down to the actual needs of the De-
partment at the time, and often to figure
far below this, and the Postmaster General,
honestly desirous of giving all sections
their full rights in the way of postal ser
vice finds after while that the funds to
permit him to do this are not on hand.
As the New York Press'says, there Is no
rational system about the voting of appro-
priations to the Postofiee Department
The country is constantly developing, and
its business is increasing every year. Yet
Congress remains unwilling to make the
needed appropriations.
So long as these metaods are maintained
it is useless tc look for any comprehensive
extension of the free delivery system.
What is needed is al awakening of public
sentiment that will bring Congress to a
sense of its responsibility.

ENGLAND TIRINe OF FREE TRADE


England is not enamored of free trade
to such an extent as she used to be, when
D'Israeli called the Cobdenites' enthusiasm
economic frenzy" Just now her greatest
economists are decidedly wobbly in their
views There is a perceptible wavering
toward fair trade, which is a convenient
name for protection, even in the ranks Of
the Liberal party, which has hitherto
fought under the banner of free trade,
giving and asking no quarter The Man.
chester Courier voices the general feeling
thus:
There is nothing like the enthusiasm for
free trade that there was in Cobden's time:
it IS demonstrated that the Manchester
school was wrong in many of its most con-
1ident representations, and many an econ
omist who processes and calls himself q
Free Trader is now heard to express an
opinion that a gTievous error was made
when we refrained from using our oppor-
tunities to secure more favorable returns
from other protective countries.
In the London Times and other leading
English Journals are found columns of dis
cussion, editorial and otherwise, of the
economic problem, and especially that
phase of it which involves the impending
general depression in all English manufac-
lures. Not every writer blames free
trade, but the general tendency is to
blame the bad times upon mistakes in
economic policy As the Manchester
Courier says, the prophetic vision of Cob
den and his disciples has not been justified
by events. Take for instance the matter
Of the production of iron and steel, wherein
Pittsburg has peculiar and satisfactory
reasons to be interested. The boast of
England used to be that in making iron
and steel she need not fear competition.
How has it turned out? In 1882 England
made $500, 900 tons of pig iron, and the
United States made about half that
amount Last year England made about
5000, 900 tons of pig iron and the United
States 9,202,705 tons! If this does not
show the good effect OF protection what
can2 And as between policy that is
breaking down England and one that is
building up the United States our Demo-
cratic friends wish us to choose the
former.

The Perfect Number.

To the Editor of the Dispatch.
In your 'Mail Pouch" lately you state, in
writing of "the perfect number seven, that
mo number occurs in scripture so often,
and as it cannot have an abstract virtue or
significance it's constant use here carries in
1t some important allusion."
Now. as no number recurs so often as
seven in the name of Christopher Columbus,
when we reckon number and name by the
numeral alphabet A, B, c as !, 2, 3, etc., does
this fact carry in it some important allusion?
Does this fact hint now that some partfcu-
seven. a spell of two syllables, limited one
day to G, the two-sided character OF the
earth its old and new worlds?
That seven does recur again and again in
C's name q little ciphering shows.
The seventh letter 80" letter, cipher by
the way, and symbol of the earth, gives It
(l5) spells IS and IS sub-spells the name
seven. The Ii original letters in C's name,
B, c, E, II, !, L, ID, O, P, K, $, T and U, by
their total letter value OF l6i give two origi-
16I their letter value shows7 another way
thus: 161 sums 16 and or 8. Eight spells 40,
this sums and 9 or 13, this sums and or 4:
Four spells co. this sums and OF 8. Six
spells 81 and 81 sums 8 and 2 or Z. N, the
heart letter OF the ls and the 7th in regular
order. by its figures ], and In union,
"US" gives 81 and 49, and this sums 2, l, l and
Cor Is and 13 as shown before sums up T.
The sub-spell of CHRISTOPHER Columbus
Cipher" gives alphabetically S0l and this by
a sub-spell of 80 and sums 7. The name
Christopher Columbus sums mp 2 4 5, and
this sums H. and this 2. Two spells 5s, this
IS sums and or 13, and 13 as in the spell
"U. s." sums up Z.
II all these different seven spells. running
now in C's name do hint for fact that in
C's day 1892 some one particular seven by
its dual syllables, limited to him the duality
of the earth what is more natural to think
than that got the said particular seven by
ciphering the year spell 1902? This spell

PRoFIT IN AMERICAN SHIPS.

Charles b. Cramp, of Philadelphia's
great ship-building firm, has just returned
from visit to England, where he kept his
eyes open after the American fashion. His
most interesting remark to reporter who
interviewed him is that such steamers as
the record-breakers of the Inman and
White Star lines could be built as cheaply
here as in England. Why should we not
build them, then? Now we are paying
Great Britain alone $3.50, ,0O0, 900 year for
doing the greater part of our carrying
trade; and other foreign nations are get
ting many millions more from us IN
the same business. The law passed by the
last Congress for bounties to American
ships carrying mails has not had much
effect yet But if Mr. Cramps assertion
is correct, that the finest ocean steamers
afloat can be duplicated here as cheaply as
anywhere, the ship builders of the United
States do not need legislation to help
them. II has been urged before
that ships could not be built
as cheaply here as in Europe until the
materials were admitted free of duty. Mr..
Cramp does not thus qualify his statement
The ships can be built here if American
capital is behind them. That appears to
be the difficulty.
1t would be worth while to encourage
capital to venture in this direction as
Germany and France have done with good
results Twenty years ago Great Britain
built almost all Germany's ships, for war
and commerce. Bismarck with subsidies
and protection in direct form helped Ger
man ship-builders, and to-day Germany
builds her own ships, certainly the best of
them, at home, and her carrying trade is
done under her own flag. France has
followed the same policy for a longer
period with like results. Why shouldn't
we? Pittsburg has deep interest in such
revival of our marine, but it is really
question that concerns every section of
the land The keeping of $3.50, 600, 900 in our
own pockets which we now pay to Eng
land, and the employment Of thousands
and thousands of our workmen, are things
worth thinking about even in these pros
porous times.

EVIL EFFECTS OF THE srR1KE.

The failure of the manufacturers and of
the window glass workers to reach an
agreement yesterday has resulted in a
strike that will extend at least seven
weeks. Ten thousand men will remain in
idleness during that period and the MONEY
that might have been realized from the
fruits of their toll will not find its way into
this country 1t will be lost entirely. Es-
timating that the average pay of the idle
men would have been three dollars each
per day, their loss during the seven weeks
will be in the nejghborhood of a million
and quarter of dollars. Looking at the
matter simply from financial point of
view, strike which prevents the ex-
penditure of SO large sum of money in so
short time is a very serious affair.
There is another way Of considering the
results and it is no more satisfactory than
the first The winter season is fast ap-
preaching, when living will be more ex-
pensive, when the workman will need
more clothing for his family and when the
food should be heartier. Seven weeks
from now the season will be still farther
advanced and the idleneSs of the men in
the interim cannot help but reduce their
savings from last season and however
they may try they cannot make up for the

country is not enjoying the same chances
for expansion, in the matter of govern
ment and economic policy toward the
Old World that are vouchsafed the United
States There is evidently disappointment
in Canada at what the census shows.
In the newspapers of the Dominion may
be noted disposition to dwell upon the
difficulties of taking the census in the
sparsely- settled Northwestern provinces,
rather than upon the evidence OF the
eountry's condition that the returns de-
velop The 1900 enumerators, who took
the census, certainly had great natural
difficulties to contend with. A steamer
was required to carry the enumerators who
were to number the inhabitants OF the
rugged and deeply indented coast OF the
Pacific as far as Alaska. The inhabitants
of the valleys among the Rocky Noun
tains were visited by the enumerators on
horseback. Dogs drew the census takers
in Saskatchewan. Canoes came in handily
in the search for humanity about lake
and river in the neighborhood Of James
Bay, and in the Nipissing district. In
Manitoba the enumerators footed it part
of the time, and hailed the chance to ride
in blackboard or boat with joy, and one
census taker, who lost his way, had to save
his life by taking his horses and living on
horseflesh till rescued by the people he
was seeking to count.
And to find after all this trouble that
Canada is not keeping pace with her Re
publican neighbors aggravates the Ca
nucks.

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
UNIQUE INSURANCE SCHEME.

Insurance schemers are continually seek
ing new fields for their operations. The
latest unique idea is that of casualty
company which guaranteed to pay all the
claims for damages accruing from acci-
dents, against the Long Island Railroad
Company for a fixed sum each year.
This railroad company paid out
in 1890 to its victims or their
friends and relatives some $4,000
dollars, besides retaining expensive legal
talent The Casualty Company agrees to
take ten thousand dollars less and pay all
claims.
inst where the insurance company will
derive its profit, it is difficult to see, unless
it hopes to be able to drive better bargains
with the injured or their friends than the
railroad company has done. The benefit
from this arrangement will not extend to
the sufferers in any event. but the pre-
cedent established in this case will most
likely be followed by other railroad cor
porations. The saving of attorneys fees
and the trouble of settling demands are
considerations, which will strongly urge
them to shoulder the owners duties on
someone else if they can do so for reasona-
bic considerations

THE HOME OF THE wHALEBAcK.
Superior Denies the Claim of Duluth to
That Distinction.


New York SUM-
Much public interest in Europe and
America has been excited by the successful
voyage of the new whaleback steamer
Charles w. Wetmore from the head of Lake
Superior to Liverpool and from Liverpool
back to this city. 1t is believed that this
trip has demonstrated the practicability of
sending grain direct from the head OF lake
navigation to the great European markets
more cheaply and speedily than by any of
the old routes; and many persons interested
in the grain trade confidently predict great
changes which will be of immense advantage
PRODUCTION of the new whalebacks.
These steamers have been described and
pictured in many journals, and in very
large number of the published accounts they
are spoken ken Of as coming from rom Duluth me ne
origin, and the people of Superior are not
altogether pleased to see their greatest
achievement attributed to rival town.
,As we understand the facts an effort
was made in Duluth to establish the ship
building industry there on large scale, but
the enterprise did not prove successful. 1t
is true few whalebacks were Duflt in that
headquarters for the construction of these
vessels. The Charles W. Wetmore was built
at Superior, and the extensive plant neces-
sary for building whalebacks on a large
scale is at Superior and not at Duluth.
It may not be generally known to Eastern
readers that there is rivalry between Du-
luth and Superior as intense as that which
has existed for so many years been st. Paul
only fair that each should enjoy in the out
side world the credit which it deserves, and
not appropriate honors which belong TO its
rival. The title of Superior to be consid-
clearly stronger than the claim Of the Zenith
City OF the Unsalted Seas.

A POET ON PET NAMES.

A poet in the New York Sun attempts
to make us believe that beauty in woman
under certain circumstances will not avail
to conquer susceptible man. He cites in
very tolerable verse a case, imaginary, we
suppose, of charming maiden, with eyes
of soulful blue, and other charms of high
order, and of another maiden, a raw-boned
piece of antiquity, who severally applied
for the position of school teacher. He de-
scribes how the Board of Education were
affected by the first of these visions; how
their hearts went pit-a-pat till the little
innocent thing said her name was Kittie
Brown, of Vassar college, and how they
froze up at the mention of the diminutive.
Then he describes the triumph of the lean
and scrawny candidate, because she
scorned ali pet names and signed herself
Sarah Ann Miranda Gray. The picture of
the rejected Kittie retiring with rosy
cheeks all pallid grown, her young life
crushed, while her rival, the cross-eyed
Sarah Ann Miranda in the school room
reigns supreme, is pathetic, of course, but
we venture to doubt if Board of Educa-
ton, or other body of men exist that
would so decide.
The fatal legacy of beauty, as the hack
neyed untruism has it, is a prodigious
power welded by a young woman. No
little drawback, such as pet diminutive
name, can put beauty out of the race.
And, moreover, while the Nervousness of
cutting a name short is under cOnsidera-
ton it may be inquired, who was it that
began the practice? Man, the male biped,
certainly. Probably Adam did not start
it, for he had hardly any excuse for abbre-
waiting Eve, though for that matter great
many pet diminutives so called are longer
than their parent names. But the fashion
of calling the fair beloved of his heart by
some pet name, not always an abbrevia-
tion-and in Latin the diminutives of af-
fection are not often less than four sylla-
bles-was probably popular as soon as Ian
guage took vocal form. Therefore the
disposition in many masculine critics to
rally the Sadies and Mamies and Kitties
and Susies and Daisies upon their nomen-
clature is unrighteous as well as unkind.
1t is certain that pretty girl by any name
is as precious a revelation as man may
know

CANADA,s SLOW GROWTH.

The results Of the census just published
cannot be entirely satisfactory to Cana
diaHs There has been fair increase in
the urban population of the Eastern and
older provinces, and in the new settle
ments OF the Northwest, but considerable
decreases are to be noted in the rural pop
ulation Of Quebec and Ontario, and such
increases as there are do not strike the
American eye as being at all remarkable.
II the city of Toronto, with its growth of
50 per cent in the past decade, Montreal
with 80 per cent increase, Winnipeg with
tie phenomenal 221 per cent increase, and
three OF four other towns Of the more
healthy West be excepted, Canada has not
made anything like proper progress in
population. Perhaps these figures will
feed the feeling in Canada that that
