philheilenic DIR. raImage.

In a letter dated Washington, April lS,
and published in the New York Journal,
the Rev DR. T De Witt Talmage expresses
his ardent sympathy for Greecein her pres
ent heroic struggle with Turkey, and de
clares That God is not going 80 permit
tire Mahammedans to run much longer with
out punishment for their atrocities COM
nitted on Christians"
This is noble sentiment, and one m
which. in common with all friends OF hui
manitv. we heartily concur We earnestly
hope that Dr. Talmage is correct in his
preCiictiou, and we are extremely anxious
for his opinion on parallel subject. What
does DR. Talmage think about the inten-
tions of the Deity with regard to the hor
ride atrocities being perpctratcd upon
unhappy, wretched aud defenseless women
and children much nearer to US, on the
Island cr Cuba?
D on this question we do not learn that
tie Doctor has formed as vigorous an opin-
ion as he has upon the more distant and
less directly appealing matter If he has,
1t has not been publicly expressed within
thc Knowledge OF this journal. In his ser
mon on Palm Sunday, he did refer to and
disiihss the topic, with the rather tepid
remark. that Cuba might one day be free,
f,ut no; until after the people had demon
strated their capacity for free govern

stration Of apaoityfor free government as

women. girls and infants of an island

CIRCUMvENTING POSTAL LAW.
Circulars, IL Mailed. Might Come
Under Postal Fraud Statutes.

Under Postal Frasd Statutes.
Circulars are being distributed in Wash
ington, which, il sent through the United
States mails, would probably render their
sender liable under the statute which pro-
hibits the use of the mails for the advance
ment of fraudulent schemes. These cir
culars set forth that they are Special
important notices concerning the new pos
tai laws and regulations
The company which inspires these cir
culars explains that the reason it does not
send them through the mail, is that they
are distributed by private carrier for
So per thousand, whereas il would cost SO
per thousand to send them by post. The
matter was referred by the Postofifce De-
partment to the inspectors division, and
the inspector who had been detailed to in
vestigate, reported that though the COM
pany indicated did send out circulars, which
were grossly misleading, the company did
not send the circulars through the mails.
Some time ago the Postoffice Department
determined to so elaborate the free delivery
system that it should include a house to
house collection OF mail and sale of
stamps Il was proposed to establish
home pCstoffices where carriers would
deliver mail, collect either stamped or un-
stamped matter, sell stamps, affix special
delivery stamps, etc. This system was
to be carried out by the use of a letter
box owned by a private corporation and
recommended by the Postoffice Depart
ment. Postmaster James p Willett sent
out circulars acquainting the people of
washington with the contemplated extern
sion of the carrier system He called their
attention particularly to the following
postoffice rule: 1.-The collection OF mail
matter from private residences will be made
only from the boxes approved by the Post
office Department mentioned in order No.
4T Of the Postmaster General dated January
20, 1896.
Following close upon the circulars which
Postmaster wiIlett sent out. were those
headed Special Important Notice Con
cerning the New Postal Laws and Regu-
Iations', This circular contains extracts
from the report of the Postmaster General
on the subject OF the general adoption
by householders OF mail repositories.
Then the circular explains that every
householder will be provided with a mail
receiving box at the nominal rate of D
cents per year, but continues that the
box will not be rented for one year, but
for term OF five years for 25 cents. The
circular concludes as follows: TOMORROW
authorized parties will call upon you. SO
please be prepared TO avail yourself OF
this which Will be much appreciated by
the Postoffice Department. y
The inference conveyed throughout cir
cular No. is that it tells OF the same
character OF box as that recommended by
the Postoffice Department This is not
right. The twenty-five cent box is merely
box in which a carrier might deposit
mail, while that recommended by the de
partment is a box from which carrier
must collect mail The twenty-five cent
box costs the company which is operating
it lust 8 cents

and other leaders Of religious and philan-

cited over the woes and sufferings of our
Greek and Armenian fellow men, we are
glad and thankful that there are American
hearts to beat in sympathy for them, and
To swell with righteous indignation against

swell, when the daily tale OF Weyler's hell
