ABUSE OF THE LAW.

In his recent annual report Postmas-
ter General Wilson entered IN earnest
plea against longer federation OF the abuse
Of the postal system by q certain class OF
publishers who last year cost the Gov
eminent the norm sun Of SIS, 000,-
900. This loss to the Government was
caused by the cost Of transporting second.
class mail matter, in excess Of the amount
received.
This tremendous item can be consider
ably cut down by proper and just legis-
latiou, says the st. Louis Republic.
Great quantities Of matter are now regis.
tered and carried second class which the
law was never intended to include. The
law was obviously designed to give cheap
transportation to such regular publics-
tons as newspapers aud magazines, but
its somewhat ambiguous provisions have
been taken advantage Of by tricky publ
cations which are neither newspapers nor
magazines, but are mere novels. printed
and Numbered in such regularity as to
bring them within the privilege Of the
law, though at the time it was passed
nothing of the kind was ever contem-
plated.
1t is not of such great consequence that
the revenues of the Postofiee Depart
mens do not equal the expenditures. be-
cause the Government can afford to make
up the deficiency for the maintenance Of
a service which is in such intimate touch
with all the people. The fact that it
does run behind from year to year, how.
ever, is the standing reason given for not
reducing letter postage to | cent in re-
Spouse to a widespread popular demand,
but is evident that as long as this deficit
annually occurs there will be no reduc-
ton in letter postage.
