The fact that the country Is being
held up and robbed of from sG,0oO,oo0 to
81. 100000 annually as consequence of
fraudulent practices by those carrying
the mails, is again stated with great
emphasis and widely commented upon
If the charge is true. no wonder there
always IS n deficit In the postoilice de-
partmont!
| The cost Of transportation Is calcu-
lated entirely by weight. TO ascertain
this the country is divided into four
divisions, each of which IS taken up
once every four years. For two months
men are kept busy weighing the mails
and noting the distance they are being
carried. and the rates Of pay to the
railroads for four years are based on
the calculations made during these
two months. 1t follows II the mails
can be made extra heavy for short
period the pay for four years Will be
correspondingly heavy.
One method Of swindling Is said to be
this: A and 3 are towns 100 miles
apart. Midway between them is n
branch road. The mail for this branch
is taken during the Weighing months
past the junction and carried say
thirty miles. until the train going in
the opposite direction is met, to which
It is delivered to be carried back. The
road gets credit for the whole distance
back and forth, but drops the mail at
the junction as soon as the weighing
months are over.
Another method Is thus described;
road viii make arrangements with
patent medicine concern to pay the
postage on their circulars, If they will
send them during the weighing
months. AS many as fourteen car
loads OF this kind of matter have been
sent at a single shipment. The road
probably paid $500 in postage. but
the value of the consignment to the
road would be over 100000 a year for
four years. And yet no law has been
violated; the advertiser has the right
to send his mail whenever he chooses
There would seem to be occasion for
earnest investigation by men not open
to corruptlng influences. Even If the
railroads cannot carry mail matter at
the rate the express companies charge
for packages, but must be paid more
than the service actually, is worth,
there is no reason for practices which
according to all standards Of morals
must be designated as wholesale thiev-
inp

A GREAT MISTAKE.

At intervals during several years,the
statement has been made in different
papers published in different states,
that the Mormons have resumed the
practice of polygamy. Within n Few
days this allegation has appeared sew
eral times in eastern journals, and
such process of "damnable iteration"
requires to be met with frequent de-
malls. This is the justification for di-
recting attention to the great mistake
made by the Springfield Republican in
the following paragraph:
1.-THE Mormons are not only showing
revival of their old spirit In Utah,
and, as all intelligent observers agree,
practiclng polygamy as well MS reas-
serting the doctrine. but they are
PROSECUTING to an extent perhaps never
exceeded by them. Their missionaries
are dispersed widely over the Southern
states, mainly in the country, and
their greatest success Is among the
mountain people of Tennessee. northern
Alabama, North Carolina and Vir-
glnia."
Polygamy is not being practiced by
the Mormons nor is the doctrine be-
ing reasserted by them. in the sense
