the same time It cost the government
$160 ton to carry this same matter
from New York to Buffalo, which is
about the most thickly settled and eco
nomical route in the entire country.
And If it cost so much there what must
have been the expense Of hauling car
goes of dime novels over the Rocky
Mountains and the prairies OF the
West?
There is always a profit on the trans.
portation Of letters, and there might
be a profit On fourth-class matter If we
were to introduce the parcel pest sys-
tenn that prevails in England, Germany
and other countries of Europe, but So
long as our government allows the pub
fishers CT cheap and nasty novels to
have the same privileges in the mails
that are given to legitimate newspapers
there will be large deficit fer the tax
payers to meet.
This is certainly good argument and
should appeal to those who have in
charge the matter Of making our postal
laws.

Those who entertain the belief that
the United States is making a great
deal Of money by the collection, trans
mission and distribution of the mails
are sadly mistaken, as the report OF the
postmaster-general for the fiscal year
shows. The report has been very thor
cughly digested by w. e. Curtis, and
by facts and figures he makes some IN
terestlng deductions and demonstra-
tions.
He calls attention to the fact that the
receipts from all sources for the year
were $50 ,665,46 and the expenditures
S94,O77212. Thus, he says, nearly one
haf the deficit in the revenues OF tine
governmert comes from our postal SER
vice. And net only was there a de-
felt CT 81 100000, but that shortage
was So. 100000 greater than that of the
previous year. AT the same time the
British post office proper, net including
the telegraph and telephone systems
but the mail service only. brought q
profit to the government Of S22, ,236,S
The receipts were ell, ,465,370, and "a,

in 1894 it was cnly c 4O547, and in lS9

In France The postal service paid
profit to the government OF 46,500,00
francs, which is about S9,OO0,0OO.
Germanythe profitwas nearly S0,OOO.OO
marks, or S7,5OO.OOO, and nearly ever
other country of Europe had a balanc
on the right side of the ledger.
While it is true that the postal SCI
vice in the United States is much MOI
expensive to maintain because Of III
enormous area of cur country, the Ion
distances and the scattered population
the deficit might be very largely r
duced if Congress would abolish Il

mission OF dime novels and other bogl
periodicals as second-class matter.

Judgments have been entered in
Magistrate Kelley's court by the direc-
tors of the Wilmington and Great Val

farmers living on the pike and using
the same without paying toll. The di-
rectors of the pike claim that the farm

trips on the pike, giving the toll-keeper
the dodge by saying that they were
going to church, when in reality they
were bringing goods to the city mar
ket. Several of the judgments have

GOOD LuDICIAL WORK.

Attorney General White, and his
efficient deputy Peter l.. Cooper, Jr.,
won considerable credit by the able
and expeditions manner in which they
disposed Of the criminal cases on the
docket at this term. only one prisoner
whose case went to a jury being ac-
quilted during the entire term, and In
his case the state did not push very
hard for conviction, as the prosecutors
had doubt as to his guilt, although not
sufficient to justify them in failing to
prosecute. Now the civil business is
being disposed OF just as expeditiously
by means Of the calendar system, which
was inaugurated by Chief Justice Lore
and his associates a year or two ago,
and which Is being constantly i'm
proved, much to the advantage OF the
court, the bar and the litigants. Those
who used to sit and hear the proceed
ings Of the court under the old judges
can scarcely realize that q few enter
prising men have accomplished such a
systematic revolution in such a short
time
The judges no longer sit on the
bench and prose all day while waiting
for something to be brought to their
attention, and the lawyers are not
compelled to be in almost constant at
tendance for fear that something in
which they are interested will be
brought up In their absence and acted
upon to their disadvantage The civil
list is gone over and the cases ready
for trial are placed on a separate cal
endar, and divided up among the days
succeeding. The business of each day
being thus fixed there can be no ex-
cuse for anyone not being present. II
the judges find that the litigants have
settled their differences out Of court
and that the calendar for the day is
disposed OF they shut up shop and go
home, and come again next day to see
what the lawyers and their clients
have done over night in the matter of
settling their differences. In the set
tlement Of cases the calendar has
played q most important part When
the alternative OF trying a case on a
certain day or settling it is given by
the court It brings both lawyers and
lltigants up with a round turn. and
cases which, under the old system
would figure on the trial list indeh-
nitely, are speedily made differences
OF the past The taxpayers owe theil
heartfelt thanks to the judges for this
revolution, for it has reduced the cost
OF dispensing justice fully one-half
and the expense entailed upon litigantl
has been correspondingly decreased.
