PEDDLING
POSTAGE
STAMPS.

there has been no great public outcry
for it and people do not regard it as d
serious hardship to 90 to a branch post
office, or to one Of the many stamp depots,
or even to the nearest drug store to get
their supply. 1t is as superfluous, prob
ably more, than the proposed house to
house collection OF mail Both win
greatly delay the carriers on their rounds
and burden them with labor and RESPONSE
bility TO which they should not be sub
jected- The delay in the delivery Of
the carriers mail, involved in this scheme,
would be far more annoying than the
proposed convenience would be welcome.
What people want is to get their letters
just as early and just as soon after distri-
button to the carriers as possible. They
will rejoice in whatever means can be
devised to expedite these deliveries, but
they can very well afford to do without
having their postage stamps served ut
their doors
A moments reflection will show that
the sale of stamps by letter carriers would
not only greatly delay these men in their
legitimate work, but be liable to involve
them in unpleasant disputes, besides sad
ding "a financial responsibility upon them
which they should not be called upon to
shoulder They would be engaged in
weary accountings with the postoffice,
would be subjected to loss through getting
incorrect change, and DC made to discharge
| functions that fall within the province of
the stamp clerk at the postoffice window
Letter carriers have their hands full il
they aim to doing their work expeditiously
| and correctly. A sensible innovation wouI,l
| be the compulsory affixing of letter boxes
to all houses, so that the carrier could
drop in their letters without waiting for
somebody to open the front door and take
the mail. This would save several minutes
| at many houses and make a considerable
| difference in the time of each Of the
| several daily deliveries.
Hastenthe time for one cent letter postage,
multiply letter boxes, and do all that may
be done to make the mail service of the
United States the most perfect of any IN
the world, and the people no less than
the carriers will be very well satisfied.

IGNORANCE. has just passed the

il does not do all that is desirable. but
il is animportant step in the right direcdon.
Ii aims at the exclusion ofignorance, which
is the progenitor OF crime. What com
mends it more than all else is the sim
plicity and direCtness of the proposition
embodied in il. 1t makes no invidious dis
tinction against this race or that, against
the same level. 1t is limited to a propo-
sition, to which no foreign government can
take exception. 1t simply serves notice
upon the world that the United States
proposes TO close its gates against igno
rance, as ii has already, by special
statute. tried to close them against vice,
crime. and pauperism. 1t goes to the
preservation OF those fundamental institu-
tions upon which rests the whole super
structure of the republic, and seeks to
eliminate from cur population an element
which has too long served as tool to un
scrupulous politicians

what startled, and it was some time until
his rare-aired mental altitude could take
a tumble to itself and To the sordid consid-
erations which were suggested.
We admit that Mr.. QuiEg's speech did
grow palpabIy nervous when he approached
the paragraph referring to the appoint

we affirm, arose from the necessity of
coming out of the white heat OF an ex-
alted discourse on books into the green
glow of questions concerning the mere pay
nent OF employees. Following are Mr..
Quigg's words at this point, quoted from
an account appearing elsewhere under Il

until now, after the paper has gone to

says that the correspondent of that paper
has the highest authority for announcing
that the entent between Russia and
Turkey is known at the stats department
and that it has had a most important
effect in modifying the plan the
administration had prepared to compel
Turkey to pay an indemnity for the
damage done to the American property
in Armenia.
Continuing the correspondent says that
in spite of denials he is able
to assure the readers of his paper that
naval demonstration upon the
part of the war ships of the United
States was prepared and that a cabinet
meeting approved the policy of bringing
pressure to bear upon Turkey. He also
says that Secretary Olney entered into
communication with Russia and Great
Britain asking them if the would oppose
the action of the United States against
Turkey Great Britian's reply, he
says, was favorable, but he adds,
Russia informed Mr. Oiney that she
preferred there should be no naval
demonstration at that time as Russia was
negotiating to bring about a restoration
of order in Turkey which country L
