ONE CENT LIE FTER POSTAGE.


Such strong democratic newspapers as
the Gourier-J ournal, Chicago News and
Chicago Herald, are strenuously opposed
to reduction ofletter postage to one cent
on the ground that while it is desirable
reform in the near future, the deficit in tho
postal revenue which it would cause would
be entirely too great under present condi-
tions. 1t is pointed out that, by the most
careful estimates the reduction of postal
revenue due to cutting the letter rate in
half would be almost $23, 100000 and that
any increase in business that would follow
(Which would also necessitate increased ac-
commodatious, new postof1ce buildings,
carriers, etc., and increased clerks would
not perceptibly reduce that falling off. 1t
is argued further that the demand for one
cent postage has come almost invariably
from large business houses, which, Of
course, have large postage bills and al
most never from the casual letter writer's,
who furnish the bulk ofthe postal revenue.
Huge petitions of four thousand or more
business firms of Illinois are on their way
to congress favoring the reduction. These
petitions recite that free delivery ought
not to be extended in accordance with the
postmaster generals successful and mex
pensiYe experiments into small communi,
ties and farming districts, and the peti-
lions further attack postal telegraphy and
postal savings banks, two other proposed
measures which are especially desired by
country patrons Of the mails.

COMING BY THOUSANDS.

The 5435 emigrants landed in New York
one day last week by six steamships was
the heaviest immigration on record in one
day. 1t is said hatimnligration this year
promises to exceed any previous year since
1845. There is room enough for all that
come, but unless some stringent reforms
are accomplished by congress, the people
of the United States will regret this tre-
mendous inpouring from Europe, one Of

The best informed republican leaders have
doubts on this point. If any republican
can carry q Southern state, that man is
Lincoln. Every intelligent Southern man
realizes now the grandeur Of Abraham
Lincoln's character, his patriotism, his

tragic removal begets sympathy for the
honest, manly son who bears his name,

sent James Buchanan to the court Of st
James TO get him out of the country 50 that

presidential nomination. He came back

successor. In like manner Harrison sent
Lincoln to the same court. Would it not

A MEMBER Of congress from Alabama

speech the other day:

LET US have another vote on the high
school proposition and build the school at

and there are plenty of men out of work.
There is no question but that the people
voted the bonds for the purpose of CON

haps the only way to bury all technical

TAMMANY HALL Is going into the next
election prepared for fraud. Sutherland
in his speech to the New York republican
convention on Thursday warned his hear
ers that the plurality of fourteen thousand
which Harrison received in 1888 would not
be sufficient to give him the electoral vote
in 1892, owing to the celebrity with which
the false returns were managed and the
true returns stolen. He declared that ar
rangements to rush through fraudulent re-
turns and issue certificates under them
had been perfected by Tammany Hall, and
closed by urging thorough organization in
every precinct Of the state as the only
means Of achieving victory.
