Within few years she has taken
to herself thirty islands in the

tensions with respect to the Behr-
ing sea, while she asserts claim
to part of Alaska and appears

boundary with Venezuela by
which she would gain province
nearly as large as the five smaller

that we are full grown and know

oceans that bound the republic

SECOND CLASS MATTER.

THE report Of the Postmaster
General calls attention to fact
that will surprise Sc most readers,
that two-thirds of all the weight
of matter carried in the mails con-
sists not of letters, but of "second
class matter" books, magazines
and newspapers-and that trans
portation of this second class mat
ter costs about s18,5O0,000 more
than the government gets for it.
As the annual deficit in the entire
service is about s10,000,000, 1t is
clear that the government is spend
ing a good deal of money for the
diffusion literature.
A part of this second-class mat
ter, of course, includes government
publications. The Postmaster
General says that the free business
in all classes done for other depart
ments, if paid for at regular rates
would more than wipe out the de-
felt. But this would be only an
other way for making an appro-
priation. The low rates on second
class matter were made to facili-
tate the circulation of newspapers.
These are commonly carried in
bulk, upon main lines, at a com
paratively light expense, and their
distribution over branch lines does
not add materially to the expense
of the mail service necessarily
maintained there. While the as
sertion cannot be made without
the detailed figures, it is likely
that the circulation of daily and
weekly newspapers by mails, under
existing regulations, about pays
for itself.
The great deficiency that has
grown up in this branch of the ser
wee in recent years counterbalanc-
ing the grains made in other branch
es, is due IN part to the largely
increased circulation of monthly
magazines and still more to the
circulation of books issued at in
tervals and "registered as second
class matter" under the head of
periodicals.. A single book pays
one cent for four ounces; as per
iodical it goes at one cent pound.
If the cost of carriage averages
eight cents a pound, 1t is clear that
the increase of this business causes
an increasing deficit. The news
paper mail is evenly distributed,
oeing about the same from day
day, and but few newspapers ar
carried great distances. The othe
kinds of second-class matter ar
dumped upon the mails at long il
tervals to be carried over lO'
'outes, thus involving not on
rreat expense but Great diS+
bance of the daily business of the
posot flee. This is why the present
Postmaster General, like his pre-
decessors wants better definition
of second class matter.
