Democratic newspapers without any
proof whatever are constantly insinuat-
ing that there is some sort OF an under
standing between the Republicans and
the A. Pa. Yet as matter OF fact the
only case where an alliance of that sort
has been proved involves not Republic
can but Democrat. The case in point
is that of the Democratic candidate for
governor of Michigan, who has been
caught bargaining for. the vote Of that
association for consideration.

The Georgia Democrats are claiming
that the Populists cheated them at the
polls through the instrumentality OF It's
sue ballots. AS the tissue ballot was de-
vice invented by the Democrats to cheat
the negroes if they have now been
cheated by it themselves it is no more
than lust retribution.

1t looks as though Tammany was
doomed to defeat in New York city. Its
hope of escape lay entirely in having
three tickets in the field, for thereby it's
opponents would be split in two and
Tammany in order to retain control
would have to beat only part of them.
But the decision of the State Democracy
to support Col. Strong, the candidate of
the committee of Seventy, ensures a
union of all the elements opposed to
Tammany, and hence the defeat of that
organization.

Penny Postage.

Not content to wait for penny
postage to come about In the usual
and proper way, some self interested
people are now engaged in move
ment to provide for this reduction by
increasing the rates on other kinds
of mail matter They demand that
the rate on second-class matter be
increased from one to eight cents u
pound. Second-class matter embrac-
es newspapers and periodicals pub
lished for the dissemination of in
formation of n public character, or
devoted to literature, to the sciences,
arts or some special industry" A
self-appointed agent has been travel
ing over the country representing to
merchants and manufacturers that
the only impediment in the way of
one-cent letter postage is the low
rate on second-class matter, and
that to get n reduction ON letters
they must demand and get an in
crease on newspapers and periodi-
Gals. After levying $40, this agent
left printed petitions against the
second-class rate for the business
man to distribute to his patrons, to
be signed by them and forwarded to
"my dear congressman. Congress
has been flooded with these petitions
and the House has already gone part
way by adopting an amendment rails
ing the rate on certain kinds of sec
ond-class matter from one to eight
cents pound. It is the opening
wedge for an increase on other kinds.
1t is apparent to all that this is an
unfair way to provide for one-cent
letter postage. To reduce one postal
rate by raising another does not
benefit the general public. 1t is an
attempt to benefit the writer's of
private and business letters at the
expense of the subscribers of period
ical publications. If second-class
postage is increased, publishers
must advance subscription rates to
correspond, and subscribers will in
lireetlv pay the .-r,3ased postage.
Publishers emphatically oppose this
proposed increase because an ad-
vance in the price of their publica-
tions, particularly in this day of
downward prices, will greatly de-
crease circulation. 1t is direct
blow at their business.
The total receipts for the year
ending June 80, 1893 were $75,S96,-
1876. Nearly one sixth of this
amount(or $12, 900, ,OOO)was expended
entirely for the free delivery system.
III the price of postage on newspapers
is raised, publishers can not afford
to furnish reading matter at the
same price and the people will be
the losers. Write to your Congress-
man and Senators and ask them to
vote against an increase in postage
on second-class matter, because a
low rate will benefit the masses of
the people who live in the country
and small towns. Our readers should
demand this consideration as an off
set to the free-mail delivery by let
ter-carriers in large towns and cities
which costs nearly Sl2,O00,O00 each
year and is no earthly benefit to the
vast majority of the people of these
United States. AS soon as the pos
tai service can afford it, we would
recommend Penny Postage, but not
until then.

VERY NARROW ESCAPE.
Edward Price Almost Succeeded in
Committing Suicide in the West
Side Station House.

Edward Price. q young man residing
on Sherman avenue. was arrested at
12 80 o'clock Sunday morning by Lieu
tenant Williams at Main avenue and
jackson street. He was very drunk
and was LOCKED up in Coll No. l at the
West Side station house. Officers
Charles Neuls and John Moir came
from the central city about 8 o'clock
yesterday morning with the patrol
wagon to to take Price over to the
mavors court.
Officer Neuls went to the young mans
cell and ,endeavored to wake him. He
was unable to do 30. and discovered
that Price had endeavored to hang him.
self In . most peculiar manner.
A handkerchief was tightly tied
around his neck, and another fastened
to this was tied around one Of the bars
of the cell. The tension on the hand
kerchiefs was very great, as he had
been lying on the prison bunk when he
fastened them. but had rolled of, and
was now hanging with his feet on the
the floor aud head suspended.
Neuls quickly cut the cords and
Price fell exhausted to the floor Of the
cell. He had become black in the face,
and 1t required the greatest efforts Of
the policemen to revive him.
The most curious thing in eonnec-
tion with the affair is that the young
mas not aware Of the fact that he had
attempted suicide, and when revived,
moralizsd on the disastrous effects of
strong drink. In police courr Price
was fined $40. 1t was paid by his wife.

be taken as q guarantee that many new
buildings are In course Of erection.

meadows have been operating very fairly
during the present season. The industrial

not interfere at all with building opera

stream OF water from two-inch pipe has
been pouring on the culm since. 1t is
thought that the fire Is now extinguished.
Over ten thousand tons OF culm, 1t Is esti-
mated, have been reduced to ashes.
Since the election of Democratic presi-
dent and congress the South Side silk
mills have operated not better than half
time and with reduced force Of hands.
When the impression crept out that Presi-
dent Cleveland would veto the Wilson bill,
these industries prepared to increase their
working hours and also re.employ most Of
the employees who were laid off. The pas
sage of the bill, however, throws the ex.
pectation Of revived business at the silk
mills into statu quo.
